"W-well, a lot of people come there. I-I’m not surprised, it makes perfect sense when you think about it. Guards aren’t allowed into the backroom, I mean, that right there is suspicious enough."

"I…" Roger paused for a moment. "I’ve decided that I need to join the court." He took a hard gulp. "In spite of whats happened, I-I think that I can do some good for people still in prison if I use my connections."

"It's true, it's actually a little surprising they haven't gotten in trouble before now come to think about it. It's probably a good thing Faye closed the place up indefinitely."

"Wow, that's a brave move. Good on you mate. I'm still in the employment of her majesty so I will be seeing you around the castle. Perhaps we can work together to help the people stuck in there."

"I'll be seeing you, in all the old familiar places, that this heart of mine embraces, all day and..."

Oh.. How is Karie?

[detective-lance]

She's hanging in there. She misses Ryder, obviously, but she is trying to keep it together.

For better or worse, I’ve always found it easy to shirk responsibility for my own happiness.

But lots have more serious responsibilities than me. And I don’t know nothin’ ‘bout yours.

[detective-lance]

It's been the opposite for me, I have always put responsibility and my duties before my own happiness, that is until recently. Karie changed that about me, she made me want to do what was best for me for once, she gave me something to live for. 

My responsibilities, unfortunately, include doing whatever it is the Queen asks of me....

[burtonedwards-deactivated-blog]

Find life is much more enjoyable when I can do what I want.

[detective-lance]

I've never been able to live that way, but I desperately want to.

 Moved around some before I came here, but mostly it’s just a bit of laziness that keeps me from my responsibilities. 

I try to not have them, mostly.

Ah I see, laziness can have that affect on people.

[burtonedwards-deactivated-blog]

I think animals are wonderful, but looking back it’s probably good I didn’t have a pet.

I’ve never really been one for keeping up with responsibilities.

[detective-lance]

Yes, same here. I tend to always be on the move, never really spending that much time in one place. 

It makes having responsibilities a little difficult.

"Makes sense I suppose, numb is probably best in most cases right now." Roger stopped looking at his piano for a second as he thought about the question. "Holding up is a word I wouldn’t really use for this situation, I find my only solace to-to be the fact that Lana is alright." But Tanya…"Never the less, I have to focus on the right now. I still have to show up for a meeting with my father and the other members of court soon."

"Can’t unravel now."

[detective-lance]

"Yes me as well, I was quite relieved to hear that Lana is safe. There were quite a few names on that list that have some connection to Fire and Ice."

"Meeting with your father? What for, if you don't mind me asking."

I always wanted a pet rabbit when I was a kid.

Some days I’d sneak a trip to the pet shop on my way home from school just to look at them.

[detective-lance]

You know, I never really thought about having a pet when I was a child. My mom was allergic to just about everything so it was never an option.

But now that I think about it, having a dog would be grand.

Hmmm…how ‘bouts rabbits. That’s a good topic. Fulla’ life. They breed like crazy, you know.

[detective-lance]

It's true they do, and they are quite adorable. 

I love when they start sniffing and you can see their little noses twitch, its so cute.

That this is it. No reincarnation. No nothin’

But we said we wouldn’t talk about death, yeah?

[detective-lance]

Ah, well that would break our previous agreement. So what should we talk about instead?

[burtonedwards-deactivated-blog]

Who's Ready to Start Drinking?

[burtonedwards-deactivated-blog]

Makes sense.

Sometimes, I worry, though….

[detective-lance]

Worry, what do you worry about?

[beckettwoods-deactivated2014122]

Are you crying, or is it just raining on your face?

[detective-lance]

A bit of both actually. I just hate this feeling of helplessness.

  Don’t know if I do, but find the idea wildly fascinating.

[detective-lance]

It is a wildly fascinating idea. Believing in it makes me feel a little less sad about the ones who were lost to us. Thinking they have been reincarnated into another life in another town, its nice. Perhaps they can finally find some happiness.

[beckettwoods-deactivated2014122]

Our best choice, I suppose, is to wait until things become more clear.

It’s just…I miss them.

[detective-lance]

As do I Tuck, as do I.

"N-no you’re fine, I-I shouldn’t have left the door open if I didn’t want company." Roger said as he turned back to the piano playing the soft haunting melody. "Of course not, I-I’d be insulted if you didn’t." 

"You seem rather calm despite w-what’s happened."

[detective-lance]

"Calm, I don't even know what calm is anymore. I'm numb. All I want to do is go help those who are trapped, but I promised Karie I wouldn't let anything happen to me. And if I try and help them, I know that is a promise I will be breaking, and I can't do that to her right now. How are you holding up?"

[atlantispond-deactivated2014120]

"I'll be seeing you, in all the old familiar places, that this heart of mine embraces, all day and..."

[atlantispond-deactivated2014120]

Fine.. and yourself?

[detective-lance]

The same as everyone else. Sad, miserable, but trying to keep it together.
