Willy only ever calls me if he has an emergency, actually.

I'm listening.

Has he called you lately?

You should bring back a gift for my sister.

The last time he did was to tell me he'd been hired at the Station.

Okay. Anything in particular?

What about his situation with Eden?

No, because it would amuse me to imagine you stressing over what to get Crysta that wouldn't earn her disdain.

Same phone call.

Really good present for Crysta. Got it. Not a problem.

Efficient, really.

[...] That's it, actually. I'm playing pool against Parson. The last time he looked away, I replaced the play field with an illusion. I'm talking to you in case he thinks he can guess which of these balls is real based on my expression.

I thought you were going to have at least three demands. [...] ~~Do you want anyth~~

Is it working?

I must have, at the beginning of this conversation. But I've had a lot of shots.

Oh yes. This is not my first time playing powers pool ~~against h~~.

Ah, got it. [...] I'm glad you're having a good time.

I would call this "putting myself through considerable personal sacrifice," but sometimes unorthodox methods are best when it comes to mastering one's Liminal abilities. Parson's refining his inertia control. Crysta's getting better at spotting my illusions.

No, sorry, you're hanging out.

Disagree. If I'm "having a good time," it's because I'm progressing some personal projects.

I bet the alcohol helps.

Another unorthodox method. I have to drink a shot when Parson pockets a ball. Crysta has to focus her cellular vision and correctly call it when I do an illusion shot instead. We are all under considerable pressure to get very, very good at using our powers.

Now that you've explained it to me, there's clearly nothing fun or frivolous about this situation. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm glad you're having a productive and professional Friday evening at the bar.

Thank you. And how is your Friday evening going?

Also not doing anything fun. I'm already in my hotel room for the evening.

On a Friday night in New York? Don't tell me you've dragged Lucia into your gloomy plans too.

I'm having a great time. I'm relaxing.

You could retire early to your room at Enodia. Are you at least taking advantage of room service?

Stop backseat driving my vacation.

Not open to any other demands, then?

Are you really going to use your demands to make me order room service?

Please. I wasn't thinking about your needs at all. If it gratifies you to live like a dour ascetic, then who am I to stop you?

Seems like you care a little.
