[ he can't remember the exact wording, but his intonation is pretty on point. ]

Should I tell you about that time I hypnotized Ray?

[understood]

... oh.

Yes, I see what you mean.

[scarrystories]

It's very cute. He's more transparent about it.

[understood]

I should have noticed.

[scarrystories]

It's not your fault. Two cops? Hooking up with each other? Unthinkable, especially in your time.

[understood]

Well.

... I suppose when you think about it that way, there's at least one significant upside to us having been forcibly removed from our time.

[scarrystories]

It's not like prejudice is gone forever, but things are better in many ways.

[understood]

Still, I hope eventually we get to take this back home.

[scarrystories]

I hope you do too.

[understood]

I'm told people tend to disappear from Duplicity after about a year on average, but— well.

I'll try to remain optimistic about where they go.

[scarrystories]

I've heard sometimes they leave and come back with new memories.

[understood]

Yeah. But not consistently.

[scarrystories]

Has anyone actually done the math?

[understood]

Do you mean, on the percentage of people who return with new memories versus the total who disappear? I don't know, but it's an interesting question.

[scarrystories]

Average stay would be interesting too.

[understood]

Mm. Yeah. The one year figure is just the rough estimate of someone who's been here longer.

[scarrystories]

It feels high but I haven't gone around polling people.

[understood]

I didn't clarify whether he was talking about mean or median, either.

[scarrystories]

I guess that's something to talk about later.

I had a proposal for you, the sexy kind. Wanna move back to text for it?

[understood]

Oh. Ah, so did I, actually. But text might be for the best.

[scarrystories]

[ text it is, he wouldn't want to give the poor soul a panic attack. ]

You first.

[understood]

Well, I'd count it a kindness if you didn't bring this up with Ray, because I'd like to ask him myself, but I thought if you both thought you'd enjoy yourselves, it might be nice if I could watch the two of you together.

[scarrystories]

Oh, look at that. Our ideas kinda line up.

I'm for it if he is. Do you think you just want to watch or would you like to direct?

[understood]

Directing hadn't occurred to me as an option.

[scarrystories]

I'm guessing Ray will want you more involved than just sitting there and watching.
