[ So, Darling said he'd text him if he wanted, but Scratch has some free time. It's surprisingly not that rare. Sure, putting Alan in a loop is something that he has to keep an eye on from time to time since the writer is tenacious to a fault. But right now, it's the first of a few cycles so he has some time before he has to worry.
Did he say worry? No. He thought it. And no one heard it. So he isn't worried. ]
Hey, buddy.
How's that acronym coming along?

As tempting as the offer is, more than a few of my flashbacks are... less than pleasent.
Unless you have one of yours that's more cheerful?

Why's that?
I can make a few parties if you like.
See how the FBC likes to get wild and crazy.
[ There is a lack of truth in them, but so long as a suspension of disbelief is held - and the thought they could have happened remains - then all is possible. ]

[In the time between chats, Darling has been doing what Darling does best: research. Diving into the files he can access about Cauldron Lake to see if he can at least anticipate what might come up from it, so the Investigation team can be moderately prepared for it when it arrives.]
Still working on that.
Most of my time has been spent trying to fill out proper forms so I don't tangled in red tape.

Jeez.
I knew not to have that much hope in government-run shit, but this is ridiculous.
How do you people do anything?
I guess that's good for me.

I have been known to enjoy a karaoke machine.
Not that our office parties really ever got wild, but it was a nice break from work, at least.

If I march up there and demand they abandon their investigation, things look deeply suspicious. For both of us.
They'd know immediately that you know more about the FBC than you're meant to.
You'd be showing your hand before you want to.
If I go through official channels, if I do this right, I can say I stumbled across something in my own research that concerned me.
Play the long game.

We truly are, I absolutely believe that.
I've spent such a long time only focusing on work, I forgot what it was like to reward myself.
I've been told I'm a decent singer!

Wow, you really care.
I hope they understand one day just how much you worked to prevent me from killing them.
Anyway!
[ Well, even with the slight irritation, he's feeling pretty good. Aside from wondering when he should reset the loop that Wake's in, anyway. ]
How are you doing?
What's new with you?

Was that a term of affection, or did you forget to capitalize my name?
I'm sure they'll name a research wing after me.
Are we doing this?
Pretending like we're friendly with each other?

A great feather in your cap, I'm sure.
Would you rather we just be antagonistic to each other?
Besides
[ Eh, fuck it. ]
I'm in a good mood.

Maybe it will be included in my Christmas bonus. The possibilities are endless.
Why don't you tell me more about yourself, then.
It might help me come up with your fancy title.

I really don't mind, actually.
Though I may never stop blushing, if you keep it up.

A promotion might be on the way!
Well, I do like talking about me.
I don't like people getting involved in my business, but talking about myself is always enjoyable.
Where should I start? My childhood?
Kidding. I didn't have one. I just WAS one day.
But I do have memories of a childhood.
Someone else's.

Your childhood? No, I'm not that kind of doctor.
Is there a reason you have someone else's memories, or is that a mystery to you, too?

I'll try only to blush when we're around each other, then.
You can absolutely tell me.
So I get a better idea what sort of conversation we're having.
I'm not the best at telling difference in tones.

Still have no idea what you do.
There's a reason.
I'm an amalgamation of stories about one man.
To make the story more true

I need you to know for my benefit only that when I write "make the story more true" to read it in the most patronizing tone.
Please understand and incorporate that in your reading of the text.
Thanks!
