DM, 10/31 (morning)

Did you practice that announcement?

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[orator]

Which answer makes me sound worse?

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[malting]

It just sounded rehearsed is all, natural of course, you're a seasoned actor, but it gave Oscar acceptance speech to a bathroom mirror.

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[orator]

Alright, not my best work, but I was anticipating refining a bit while Mara made the announcement.

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[malting]

Hey, I'm just teasing. She may have gotten to it, you know.

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[orator]

Oh, it's fine. I probably shouldn't have needled her about Roswell before everything started.

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[malting]

You didn't.

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[orator]

He saved my life, Nat. And he invited me to his birthday party! It's tonight.

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[malting]

Is he going to his own birthday party?

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[orator]

If he doesn't, I will tell you all about the incredibly awkward Lundegaard gossip.

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[malting]

You know who'll want to hear that? Mara. Leadership breakfast?

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[orator]

Nat, did you not hear me about how the man saved my life? Would I really gossip to Mara about his awkward party knowing how much she despises him, just so I can attend breakfast with your effervescent presence?

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[malting]

Uh huh, you'd gossip about it without the promise of bacon. Which actually, can you pick some up on your way back from the party? For the breakfast.

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[orator]

Anything for you, Stokes. I've got an in with one of the aldermen.

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[malting]

It's starting to sound like you have an in with all of them.

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[orator]

Well, Mara made it my job to handle Lundegaard. I have to prove I'm not all talk.

DM, 10/31 (morning)

[malting]

I've never thought you were all talk. Is this birthday party further diplomatic relations then?
