I realize now may not be the best time to pose a question to the populace at large, but I'm afraid this one simply won't wait.

Has anybody got any scissors? I seem to have misplaced mine.

I've got some you can borrow if you want, Tommy.

[remarkablyblunt]

I would be greatly indebted to you, doctor.

[toldastory]

Do you want to pick them off or do you want me to drop them off?

[remarkablyblunt]

I can pick them up with no trouble! Shall I meet you at your room?

[toldastory]

Of course.

Why do you want scissors?

[remarkablyblunt]

There's an article I wish to cut out of my newspaper.

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

Why? What is it about?

[remarkablyblunt]

It's the summation of a murder trial, which I found it rather interesting. I'm a bit of an amateur detective, you know.

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

Are you any good?

Whose trial is it anyway?

[remarkablyblunt]

Oh, passable.

Some fellow called Greenwood. Apparently he did not murder his wife. It's all terribly sordid.

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

Why do you want to keep it?

[remarkablyblunt]

For reference.

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

...Whatever. I don't even get why you care.

[remarkablyblunt]

Because it's interesting.

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

I guess.

[talldarksaviour.livejournal.com]

No I don't have any scissors.

Thanks so much for forcing that useless answer out of me.

[remarkablyblunt]

You, sir, are most welcome.

[talldarksaviour.livejournal.com]

What do you even need them for?

[remarkablyblunt]

There's an article in the newspaper I'd like to cut out, about a murder trial. It's quite fascinating.

[talldarksaviour.livejournal.com]

Fascinating murder trial... interesting hobby.

[remarkablyblunt]

I'm something of a crime-fighter, so I find keeping up on those sorts of things essential.

[talldarksaviour.livejournal.com]

Well there certainly aren't any trials on the barge.

[remarkablyblunt]

True enough. But I may, one day, go home, and it would hardly do to be behind on the times.

You get up to date newspapers to your room?
