second draft || [written]

[kayeaton]

All right, I've got to know: Are there any publishing outfits here? In a town this size, the chances seem slim, but for all I know, there's a paper no one's mentioned to me. I've got a story or two started, and if I could see them in print, I wouldn't mind dropping my asking price to zero cents a word. It won't hurt them to sit in handwritten piles in my apartment, of course, but stories are always better when they're shared.

It's strange to think that it's May here. It was November back in Manhattan, and that meant a lot of gray skies and windy days, and some rainy ones. Thanksgiving was coming up; between Julius and I, a whole turkey is a waste of a bird, but we were going to have something nice for dinner nonetheless. And in the meanwhile, it would have been a whole lot of pounding on typewriters and talking, no doubt.

At least I left near the start of the month. Just in case time here doesn't run faster than every other world's time, he's got a few weeks to plan out a story or two about the drunken scientist or the mutant hillbillies, and from there...well, ideally, he'd show up here one of these days, too. And if not, he's written plenty on his own before; he's not about to starve to death just because I'm not there to do my share.

I do miss him, though.

((OOC: And just in case you're curious, when she says drunken scientist and mutant hillbillies, she is, uh. Completely serious.))

Ah...w-where should I bring it by, then?

Apartment five, of the--first community housing building? [If Kay was in charge, she'd still have the ability to say "on the corner of X Street and Y Avenue."] Stop by any time. If I'm not there, Mildmay might be.

Where're you, by the way?

Community housing seven, room twenty two. If I'm not in, Helios and Frederic might be. But, um, you're free to stop by as well. I'm usually around early evenings. [Later evenings are patrols, although that particular part of his schedule hasn't been too feasible since the Malnosso sent him back.]

Maybe I will. [Kay's not particularly taken with dropping in unannounced on the whole, but the invitation's kind of him.] 'Til then, Rupert.

'Til then, Kay.

[And with that, he'll hang up.]
