Four days was enough time to sleep off your birthday hangover, right?

[teaserving]

sure now we just need to be prepared for my happy death day

[foulplayed]

Well if we can hold off on the death day for a little while, there's something I'd like to talk to you about when you have the time.

[teaserving]

well i can't just change an anniversary but all right
i'll put off killing my liver for awhile

what do you need?

[foulplayed]

Wait, you were being serious?

[teaserving]

before i ended up in that wasteland, i was dying. like, i saw heaven or whatever the afterlife is
which is messed up why the hell would someone like me go to heaven that's just stupid

if it wasn't for my gem i'd probably be dead.

[foulplayed]

Let me get this straight. Somewhere between life and death you got confirmation that you were going to the good place instead of the bad place, and you're ... annoyed.

Seiros. Wonders never cease.

[teaserving]

maybe im just bummed out because i cant hang out with the devil now
that would have been so sick

[foulplayed]

( As someone who has spent years believing himself to be a sinner who could never earn the forgiveness of Fódlan's (false) Goddess, forgive him for not responding in a more light-hearted manner about all this. )

Right. Must be terrible to know that you're ultimately a good person worthy of salvation.

[teaserving]

if im worthy then i just think the standards are shit
dont fucking call me good.
tell me what it is you wanted to talk about before this.

[foulplayed]

Work.

[teaserving]

gross.
go on.

[foulplayed]

You're a private investigator, right?

I need information about someone. What's your going rate?

[teaserving]

well i havent really been doing any investigating around here so i haven't thought about cost much
i'll come up with a number. what kind of information are you looking for?

[foulplayed]

Routines. Where he goes, what he does, when he does it. Any private hobbies that might make gentle persuasion a little easier.

That sort of thing.

[teaserving]

huh all right.
yeah i can do that. that's pretty standard for me.

you got a name and face for me?

[foulplayed]

( And here he's going to take a leaf out of Claude's book and exercise a little network caution: )

I'll give you that in person. Meet me somewhere tomorrow?

[teaserving]

that's probably a good idea.
time and place?

[foulplayed]

The Night Gardens at noon. We can take a nice lunchtime stroll.

[teaserving]

sounds nice. i'll be sober
want me to bring a treat?

[foulplayed]

Good.

And no, don't worry about that. Just be there on time.

[teaserving]

sure
ive never been one to ignore the clock

[foulplayed]

Well, that's reassuring.

I'll see you then.

action because i have no self control

[teaserving]

[True to his word, Leone is on time, waiting on a bench. He has a cup of takeout coffee in his hand that he's slowly nursing. He's trying to keep his word and stay sober; he can keep this professional despite their messing around.]

Self control and rp ... hollow laugh ...

[foulplayed]

( Fortunately, Leone is pretty easy to recognise among the rest of the Gembonded enjoying the gardens over lunchtime, and Yuri heads to him directly when he spots him sitting there with his little paper cup. )

Hey there.

( And he's had a night to sleep off the bad mood that Leone's bad mood tipped him into, which means there's at least a small smile on his lips. )
