For those of ya'll that knew Chris Skelton, he's not in the City anymore. I hadn't heard from him in a few days so I checked on him and then went to the hall.

I know we're supposed to happy when people go home because that's what most everyone wants, right?

I hate it. Color me selfish. As long as it's not orange.

[She sounds quiet, tired and yeah, a little sad.]

Selfish isn't a color.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

It's a figure of speech.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

What kind of figure of speech is that...

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

The figurative kind?

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

...that's not an answer!

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Uhm...yeah it is.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

[ Sighs. ]

What does "color me selfish" even mean, then?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

It's like saying "if that's selfish, then whatever I'm selfish".

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Oh.

There's nothing wrong with that. Everyone's selfish.

It's not selfish, in the grand scope of things.

And what's wrong with orange?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Not selfish? How?

It's the color of Auburn University.

I don't consider being upset when you lose the people you grow close to here as selfishness.

And Auburn University is a terrible thing?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

I guess not. Even if your friends are glad to go home?

Awful. University of Alabama is the only way to go. Roll tide!

There's a difference between being considerate and disregarding how you feel entirely in some sort of unwarranted sense of goodness.

And what are their colours?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'm sold. Besides it makes me sound like a better person.

Crimson and white. Much better colors.

[signatures]

It certainly makes you a person.

I don't know. I think I'm more partial to orange.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

[There is a pout here, Eames.]

Really? That's...disappointing.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...Chris is gone?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

It sounds dumb to say did you know him because clearly...

Anyway, I'm Lucy. I'm a friend of his.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'm Hanna. He and I were good pals, and we worked together too.

He's really gone...? I...Wow.

...I'm gonna miss him.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Me too.

It's nice to meet you, Hanna.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Wish it was under better circumstances, but yeah, it's nice to meet you too, Lucy.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

You said you work with Chris at the Police Station?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm a paranormal consultant there.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Oh. I guess that's sorta needed here.
