[ ah. ]

Right... probably the Aquarium, don't you think?

[greatvalue]

[slowly nods, pocketing his phone.]

Glass looked wet, so...

[psynchronise]

Bullet mark too, although there was one last week on the image and there was no gun involved. Maybe it's just the break?

[ THEY HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE HERE WITH GUNS THO. ]

[greatvalue]

I dunno, it's hard to tell. They only took a picture of the corner of the break, not the whole thing.

[psynchronise]

... I really hate not being able to investigate for 24 hours.

[greatvalue]

[nods...]

It's a pain that we only get nine hours to do everything.

[psynchronise]

Pretty sure that kind of time frame wouldn’t be held up in any court of law. But— [ he shrugs. ] Hell.

[greatvalue]

[gazes at the void]

Hell.

[psynchronise]

I don't know what we expected, really.

[greatvalue]

No afterlife? Competent upper management? Too much to ask for in either case, I guess.

[greatvalue]

Huh? Of course I know that. But I'm talking about the boiling seas. Back home.

[psynchronise]

Boiling seas?

[ what. ]

[greatvalue]

Yes?

[psynchronise]

Just.


Your seas are just casually boiling?

[greatvalue]

[he nods like he doesn't know why he's so hung up on this.]

I come from the Boiling Isles. We get boiling rain, too.

[psynchronise]

[ hey, earth isn’t boiling yet. he’s confused AND intrigued. ]

Yikes.

[ yikes. ]

Rain does not do that where I’m from. Yet.

[greatvalue]

Yet?

[hello?? human realm????]

[psynchronise]

[ it's fine. ]

Global warming's a thing that isn't slowing down, so who knows? Maybe our rain will be boiling in a few hundred years.

[greatvalue]

What? [HE'S SO ALARMED.] Why? What's making your world heat up?

[psynchronise]

... I mean how long have you got? I'm no expert but--
