Not that I have many followers currently, but I’ve decided to create a new account as this was created orginally as a secondary blog which is kind of annoying when it comes to following people back - as you can’t - and since tumblr doesn’t allow you to switch primary... You can find me at http://semper-x-occultus.tumblr.com/

“I’ll be walking to my car to finish off the rest of your scotch…”
“Actually you’re most likely going to be limping….”
“Is that a threat or a promise, Croft?…”
“Which would you prefer?”
“Surprise me..”
“MI6 clearly hired you for your bravery, since there isn’t much else…”
"You may well be right, this job tends to strip the intrinsic facets of ones personality, leaving you with nothing more than a barren wasteland to keep from crumbling.. However, there's an entire case of vintage scotch stowed in the trunk of my car and considering, as you say, i haven't got much else, you'll excuse me if I go ahead and deal with this..."

“Ah. Yes. Your apartment. How very convenient that you just so happened to forget all about it before you drove here. Now, why don’t you drive back into London and pick it up. Go on, it’s only a short trip.”
carpe-nctem
“…no.”
“Hm…”
“And anyway I couldn’t possibly drive back to London tonight, I’m significantly over the limit…”

“I know plenty of interesting burial places in Nepal. Hidden tombs…. Places MI6 wouldn’t dare set foot in with their polished shoes…”
carpe-nctem
“Now that sounds all very interesting, but it’s not going to bring back your bottle of scotch..”
“No, but you are going to fetch me a new one before we leave…”
“I suppose it’s a good thing I’ve already obtained you a replacement, otherwise I have this feeling I’d never hear the bloody end of it.”
“Don’t look so surprised, Croft. I mentioned it when I arrived earlier. You’re the one that chose not to believe me. If you want it, you’re more than welcome to drop by..”

“Quite… Well I don’t doubt that you could teach me a thing or two, Lady croft. You see, the thing that appeals so dearly about you is the simple fact that I know I could trust you to swallow anything I give you.. metaphorically speaking, of course… which is why I’m asking you to assist me in Nepal..
Now, how about that drink..”
“Not quite anything…”
“Indeed yes, how about that drink, James? How long has it been now, since you stole my father’s scotch?”
“Do you know, I can’t honestly remember. Sure sign of a good scotch; memory loss..”

“Had you brought a certain something to drink with you, I might have offered.”
“But it’s highly unlikely. Are you absolutely certain you want my assistance?”
carpe-nctem
“Hmmm.. well now that you mention it, it does rather depend on the type of assistance you’re offering… Are we still talking about Nepal?”
“Oh… dear James. I’ve no doubt there are a multitude of things you’d like me to assist you with. Infact… I dare say there’s not very much you’re capable of doing for yourself…”

“I’m almost certain they’d be overjoyed if you were to drop by. Given the chance I know they’d just love to have a word with you.. ”

“Well we wouldn’t want to overjoy them would we. I’m sure if they have anything to say to me, they can say it through you. And you can tell them I’ve no interest in doing their dirty work…”
“…After we’ve been to Nepal. I’ll take whatever it is that they’re after. You can keep the Aston Martin.”
“How very generous of you…”
“And yet still no offer of a drink. Here we are about to strike a deal and all I’ve got out of it is an Aston Martin and the promise of a severe dressing down by my superiors when they realise the hired expert has disappeared with the cargo..”

“It’s a reconnaissance task. Nothing more. Your role is purely.. advisory.”
“It’s a contemptible task. What could MI6 possibly want so badly that they have the audacity to ask me to accompany their best agent? Oh but wait. They didn’t ask. I don’t suppose they had the nerve. Are they listening to us right now?“
“No. I removed my wire before I got here.”
“Let’s just say they’re aware of your mild dislike towards them and felt that approaching you direct might not be the best way to go about it..”
“Good. Rebellious as ever I see.”
“They’re aware of my mild dislike? Perhaps I should make them aware of just how mild it is. Do you think perhaps that wire of yours could remain misplaced for the entire trip?”

“Well there’s a definite improvement on the housekeeping since I last dropped in I’ll give him that..”
“So now you know why I’m here..”
“Yes well there had to be after a certain someone showed up uninvited with muddy boots… Why do you need me to accompany you to Nepal?”
“You’re exaggerating.. I wiped my feet before breaking in. I do have some manners…”
“MI6 has this notion that you might know the whereabouts of a particular installation somewhere in the eastern region. They had a look at your file.. it was rather impressive..”
“Really. Oh I bet they do.You want me to work alongside you, for MI6?
….No.”
