alwaysatthebar | 006 - [Video] Why is it always to late to say goodbye?

[It'd been nearly a week since November's last contact and April had started to suspect this was more than a simple, 'not wanting to be found' incident. She had been investigating the frequency rate of disappearances and it would not be against all probability that November would be among the next batch of those who had disappeared. Which is why she had gone to the Hall of the Missing.]

[Trust November to find a way out and leave her behind to clean up his messes. He never meant ill, but it did seem to be a reoccurring theme of late. Even more dissatisfying was the knowledge November was most likely dead. For a second time. He never did do things by halves.]

[Coming out of the hall of the missing, April flicked on the network device and stared calmly into the recorder.]

It would seem that Jack Simon --some of you may have known him as November 11-- has left the city. I will be tendering his belated Note of Resignation to the proper authorities at City Solutions today and will do my best to tidy up any loose ends until a replacement can be found.

Until then, please limit your inquiries except for in cases of emergencies. They won't be handled otherwise.

[disconnects]

[Now to determine the best manner to avoid going crazy. Perhaps tomorrow she'd...]

November 11? Interesting name for the guy.

It seemed appropriate at the time. Jack was the one who insisted on the name.

[affection? Perhaps a little bit]

Sounds like there's a story behind that one.

I wouldn't say that. Jack just didn't like his name and stole the date instead.

He did love his jokes.

So if his is stolen is yours on loan too?

[laughs]

I'm rather fond of it. It'd be a shame to have to let it go.

You gotta tell me the story behind that one, at least the short version.

You ever hear of the saying, 'April showers brings May flowers?'

I had a bit of fun when I younger.

[close enough to the truth]

[It's possible to hear the smile in his tone.]

When you put it that way it's kind of poetic.

It is fairly apt, although I'm sure some of my acquaintances wished I'd hold off on the water pranks.

It does get a little cold from time to time.

[Especially with November as her partner]

Christmas is coming up and raincoats make decent gifts.

Perhaps. But it's less fun that way, wouldn't you agree?

True, the element of surprise is half the satisfaction.

You sound like a man who had his fair share of fun. Did you have a favorite?

I glued magazines to my brother's ceiling once, real inappropriate material for a gentleman, you know.

[laughs]

I bet that brought down the house. I hope you didn't have to clean up the mess.

Let's just say super glue was kind of banned for a little while.

I hope that didn't stop you. A well played joke is forever priceless.

Nope, I'm persistent. Tenacious. Kind of like an april shower, you know it'll be back next year.

And leaves a trail of mud in its wake.

Mud? Really? You give me more of a super smooth impression, no footprints you know.

It's hardly my fault if you step in it and leave an impression.

[smooth or no, she did like to leave a mark]

At least you got your priorities straight.
