...I don't imagine anyone knows where I can find a real deck of cards? You wouldn't believe how boring it is to be a mortician when it seems that no one is dying? Er...not that I want anyone to be dying...

Or better yet, does anyone know where I can find some decent French literature? I only have a copy of Les Miserables and L'homme Qui Rit with me, and a couple of English books, but I've already read them all...Ooh, scratch that! I want to have the Aeneid! Does anyone know where I can find the Aeneid in English or Latin? I'll give you the puppy eyes and love you forever...

	I don't know where any of that is, but you know French? And Latin? what other languages do you know? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Mais oui! I'm French, you know...my parents were ambassadors for France. I was sent to a very...uptight boarding school for a while. I had to learn Latin and English...I even know a few phrases in Greek, although I'm not so profficient with that. I can sort of speak Spanish, but I sound very bad when I do.

	I'm American and don't have nearly so impressive a background, though I am a war prince, if that means anything to you. it doesn't mean much usually. I dropped out of school years ago. guess that's why I'm the janitor here. I'm Tobias. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It isn't your background that makes you who you are, Tobias. It's the people you know, and the places you've been, and the deeds you've done. Not the things you've learned or the place you were born. Just because you're a janitor doesn't mean you're not important. I'm Nicole. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	in that case I'm REALLY screwed. This is the best thing to happen in a while actually. I wasn't saying it wasn't important. Nice to meet you. I'm the bird you probably see flying about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, you know me now, and you know the people in Atlantis. Between the entire team, you ought to be able to have a decent personality. You should come visit the morgue sometime. And I do mean visit, not clean. Birds are very pleasant creatures, you know. Although there's this dratted robin back in the morgue in San Francisco.... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, one who SHOT ME. Another tried to keep me as a PRISONER and a third treated me like a LAB RAT....okay, he was doing the best he could not to do that, but still. It was not fun. No way! I'm staying hell away from there! I don't clean it and I don't go near it! I've seen enough death and labs. Robins are stupid pests. I'm a hawk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know, you'd get on quite well with my cousin Aramis... Ohhhh, Tobias, it's not that bad. Tell you what. We'll meet in real life someplace else. Like the cafeteria or the gym or a balcony somewhere. You know, so you don't have to see the dead bodies. Which aren't visible. Thank you. THANK you. Why does no one understand me when I say that???

why would I do that? is she inherently paranoid and suspicious because people ARE OUT TO GET HER?

which brings me to my next point - I don't to labs at all. Or doctors. So no morgue. The bodies thing is the last of my worries about it. Ending up in a dissecting tray though is. I like balconies.

because they are stupid too? If we were in California I could get rid of him for you, but I guess that isn't a problem anymore.

Aramis is a man and he's been taken prisoner, shot at, actually shot, and in general harrassed. He's an archaeologist and apparently he has trouble with border officials across the world.

Well then. Balcony it is. I won't even wear my lab coat. And for the record? I don't dissect people unless they're already dead. And as far as I can tell, you're not exactly there yet.

Well, it's alright. I had Detective Scott shoot the damned thing.

I'm not paranoid. It's the people chasing me in the white coats that are paranoid. My friend used to say that. I've been taken prisoner and shot at, but never actually shot. I did get really sick though once and they put me in a cage and well...it worked out. but I hated it.

But you could try to make me dead. And I'm against that idea. Balcony.

Oh, that's fine then.

	Aramis got locked in a border patrol office for three weeks. He wasn't exactly...happy...when he got out... Now why on earth would I want to make you dead? What purpose would that serve? I'd rather not have to dissect you. Balcony - eleven o'clock...how does the 28th grab you? Or thereabouts... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know exactly how he felt. I don't like it. Because, if you haven't noticed, I'm a BIRD typing on a computer! Well, not really, I'm human right now. But bird with human-intelligence is NOT NORMAL. I've seen ET. AM or PM? And uh...bird or human? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	French girl raised in fancy private schools and such who spends every moment she can with dead bodies is NOT NORMAL, either. And why would NOT NORMAL matter? I mean, come on, Tobias. We're floating on a myth. AM, as I actually keep a decent bedtime, thank you very much. Come as you like, I've no preference. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	okay, I'm not arguing over who is more not-normal with you. Except to say BIRD. heh, fine. AM. okay. (Reply to this) (Parent)
