"Why did Wraith think you could help?"

@id1eyouth // harrison asked: "what are you even complaining about now?

"There's nobody here."

Harrison's big fuck-you estate is luxurious and resplendent. A great place to live, frankly. But Phil has higher aspirations for himself. Always has. Even when it's easy to be lulled into a lifetime of rest and relaxation, his impulses are persistent.

"I need people."

DAFNE'S LAST APPOINTMENT STARTS LATE AND FINISHES LATE. By the time she leaves, the sun is setting, draining color and saturation from her surroundings. She calls a Lyft to take her to the address revealed to her by Phil. It—the Lyft—is expensive. She groans as she confirms it, frustrated and aware of the fact that she has little choice.

The street features expansive, spread apart houses; the Lyft driver murmurs her appreciation, her jealous. Dafne politely agrees in a quiet and inattentive murmur. She has too much else on her mind to be envious of the rich and powerful, right now.

Dafne gets let out, and she hurries the Lyft driver off despite her questioning (Are you sure this is the right house? Is there someone to let you in? It's gotten so late...). She creeps towards the wrought iron gate separating the Key house from the rest of the world. She finds a small call box with a speaker. She dials.

The sound drones.

And drones.

"I did buy land in Ireland once," he muses, not for the first time, though the actual first time was months ago, and he's had a few generous pours of whiskey by this point in the evening, "But I understand that's not the same thing."

He has also bought a very generously-sized villa in Venice, more substantial than the hokey Irish plot he currently references, purchased much like people purchase stars, or injured turtles that will die in rehabilitative centers. He's more focused on that than the villa, though. The villa is a constant that allows itself to fade into obscurity.

"As being a mighty Lord."

@id1eyouth // harrison said: i'm not going to that party.

"Don't be silly."

Unfortunately, Rupert knows all too well that Harrison is rarely, if ever, silly. Not intentionally. Not even by some accident or misinterpretation. (It is somewhat exhausting.)

"Sir Mayhew's making an appearance. Is it the wife? Don't tell me it's the wife." But it might be, because: "You've been behaving awfully strangely."
