I suppose it's nice to put a face to a name. Or lack of name. Especially since you seem to know so much about me. I shudder to think what your holiday snaps might be like.
It... does ring a bell, in an odd way. I can't quite place it, but I know I've seen you somewhere before.

Rather not. I am sure there will be one day you have someone you want dead. And then we will have this between us and it'd be awkward for you to come beg me for help. No. I will just assume one day you will get that itch and not want to do it yourself so I will as a thanks and out of boredom.
That is what it means to be a double. But what have you heard about ol' Al?

I'll forgive you, Darling.
You don't? Shall I send a snap?
no subject
But yes, fine. Let me see who I'm working with.
no subject
I'll take a nice picture for you.
Don't worry.
It won't be one of my holiday snaps.

In fact, if things keep working out, I might not have to take any for awhile.
But, hey, pal... the face you have to my name.
Does it look familiar at all to you?

But I suppose that means you're locked in that whatever place a bit too much, huh?

Are we playing guessing games again, or are you going to tell me where I'm meant to know you from.
no subject
I'm probably adding to it.
I could tell you.
But I like a guessing game.
We don't have enough whimsy in our relationship.
no subject
Animal, vegetable, or mineral?
Are you bigger than a bread box?
no subject
Animal.
And obviously.
no subject
And neither do you.
You're outside of my usual circle so I'm guessing you're not known in the sciences.
Popular media?

And not change them.

A visual medium? Since I'm supposed to know your face.
no subject
Some visual.
Mostly written.
no subject
I'm tired, Scratch.
no subject
We didn't even get that far into the game.
But fine, fine.
Not like I work. I understand.
Different hours of operation.
I will be nice and give the answer. You're welcome.
Alan Wake.
no subject
... oh. Oh?
[Give him a moment while he flips through some paperwork to a grainy back-of-the-book photo of Alan.]
Well the implications of that are certainly.
Intriguing.

Are you sure you don't have anyone you want me to kill to let you have a better whiskey? You know as a treat for me AND you.
no subject
You flatter me.
no subject
In fact, please assume that I never want you to kill someone for me.
It does, yes. Given what I've studied of Wake.
The resemblance is, actually, uncanny.

But what have you heard about ol' Al?
no subject
Interesting.
I'm starting to understand why you want a special name.
Are you one of Alan's stories? Did he bring you to life?
