If he does, he can return.

[that_cost]

Maybe. I'm kind of hoping. And if he doesn't, I'll figure out what to do then.

[useofcuriosity]

Good. Yes?

[that_cost]

Hopefully.

[useofcuriosity]

If not, you have Erica and the others.

[that_cost]

I'm pretty sure Erica'd smack me in the face with a diaper bag if I forget that. One she probably made herself with some kind of fire-themed fabric or something.

[useofcuriosity]

I suppose that would be a concern, yes.

[that_cost]

I can see her doing that. Can you?

[useofcuriosity]

Yes. She's very crafty and very violent.

[that_cost]

That she is. And very protective of the people she cares for.

[useofcuriosity]

Yes, I know.

Hi Charlie uh.. I know this isn't the best time but would you tell me what's going to happen to the bowling alley and its employees?

Re: 6/15- private

Hey, Scott. I think this leaves you in charge? I know the one girl was only on an as-need part time basis since I think she works at Sirius' cafe.

I have the keys. They were in the pocket of Johns jacket.

Re: 6/15- private

[truealphascott]

I know this doesn't make things much better, but I'm really sorry this happened. John was a good guy and I'm going to miss him- I mean, obviously not as much as you will, but like you know, we were friends.

[Stop rambling Scott!]

I don't know anything about running a business.

Re: 6/15- private

[that_cost]

Y'know he'd laugh if he heard you say he was a good guy. He likes the whole 'bad boy' thing he had going.


If he comes back, don't tell him I said this? But the bad boy thing was a massive crock. Well, when it was just the two of us.

Neither did he, but he did an alright job of it. Hey. Try asking the network? There are quite a few business owners in town who could probably help you.

And...thanks for what you said. I appreciate it. It means more than you think it means.

Hey, Scott? Can I let you in on a secret that's probably not going to be a secret much longer?

Re: 6/15- private

[truealphascott]

Yeah, he would've hit me if he heard that.

[He chuckles, remembering his friend fondly. He was honestly going to miss that guy.]

Okay, you sure you don't want it? I mean maybe it should stay in your family? If not, I'll do my best with it.

[Her question about a secret has him frowning a little out of concern.]

I'm good with secrets. Are you okay?

[that_cost]

Or threatened to light you up.


So uh...I already told Erica because she lives with me. Thomas knows because he pushed me to go to the doctor. And even though I want to wait until I'm more sure this is a definite possibility...

Well, Pyro for all of his flaws would've made an awesome dad.

I'm telling you in my own time because you're my friend and I think I need some of those right now and for the next several months.

[truealphascott]

[Scott's speechless for a couple moments. He doesn't really know how to react. It registers with him just how hard this must be on her, far more than he realized before.]

You know you can count on me. What can I do?

[that_cost]

Just keep being my friend, Scott. That's what I need from people the most.

[truealphascott]

Well that's pretty easy. You know I'll be your friend no matter what.

[that_cost]

Thank you, Scott. Who knows? Maybe I'll tell the kid to call you Uncle Scott, just for being so awesome.

[truealphascott]

[That totally makes him blush and get all flustered.]

Heh.. uh.. thanks?

[Flails!]

So I'll come by sometime and get those keys, okay?
