[15] How to throw detectives off your trail (this is it)

[dekillerqueen]

I will save all the... interested parties the trouble and formally announce that my birthday is on the seventeenth of January.

There you go.

Sometimes you're not very fun.

I tend to value safety over entertainment.

Either way, they would never find my birthday.

... What?

[Shelly might even look just a little bit concerned, for once.]

[Video]

[material_guy]

Nothin'. I think I lost this time.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

... When have you won before, pray tell?

[Video]

[material_guy]

So I guess this's why you were fine just gettin' presents on Christmas. It's so close...

[Video]

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

... Frankly, I do not care much about presents at all. [Or his birthday.]

You're lucky I'm better at reading you than that.

[He doesn't get it. 8(]

[material_guy]

You couldn't stand the idea of maybe lettin' one of those guys be a better detective of mine than you, eh? Yer really an overachiever.

...

Not exactly, but...

[material_guy]

Don't worry so much. Even if I pick up some other people, yer still mine. Yer still special.

... Would you please try not to say such things in public settings?

[Video]

[material_guy]

I think the bigger problem is you thinkin' it's not somethin' fit to say in public.

[Video]

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

Think of Ms. Fujiyoshi.

[Video]

[material_guy]

She ain't mine yet.

[Video]

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

That is completely beside the point.

[Video]

[material_guy]

You told me to think of her. That's the first thing that comes to mind.

[Video]

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

... Oh. Of course.

That... is not what I meant, though.

[Video]

[material_guy]

Aa. And the kinda thing she wants it to mean ain't what I mean. So it's all cool.

[Video]

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

No. No, it is not.

[Video]

[material_guy]

It's not?

[Video]

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

No, because she will ignore everything, except for what she wants to hear.

[Video]

[material_guy]

Then it don't matter what we say, does it?

[It doesn't work that way asfdadsgsdfh]

[brbslashing.livejournal.com]

You guys don't have to think of me, just keep going the way you are.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

[It takes a whole lot of self-restraint for Shelly not to facepalm.]

[brbslashing.livejournal.com]

QUITTER!

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

Excuse me, what?

[brbslashing.livejournal.com]

I thought you were with me on never giving out your birthday!

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

This is preferable to having detectives from another world look into my life.

[brbslashing.livejournal.com]

Oh. Right. I don't have much to hide so I don't have to worry about that. Alexander the Great wants to know my birthday too.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

[ALEXANDER THE-- Okay, he's not even going to say anything, he's pretty sure he talked to Queen Elizabeth during his early days in the community.]

... Does he, now?

[brbslashing.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He doesn't usually go by that here, but it sounds cooler to say it that way.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

I suppose that would explain why I was not aware of his presence here.

Why are you reluctant to give away your birthday, then?

[brbslashing.livejournal.com]

Because it's a secret.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

Fair enough, I suppose.
