Kevin Ford's NV is offline and Mimsy is gone.

I seem to be living alone now.

At the same time, two people I know from home are in the Port. Strange how things work here.

I feel more like I fell down the rabbit hole a while back, but with the gods and superheroes, it's probably more like a comic book.

That sounds about right. Your writers have a lame sense of humor, by the way.

If I knew where to send the hate mail, I'd have started a letter writing campaign years ago.

Anyway, don't be a stranger just because Kevin's gone. I make some mean Bengali food.

Oh good, I was starting to think I'd actually have to start cooking for myself.

If I want to cook something other than baked chicken and steamed vegetables, I'm going to need an audience and I'm seeing a woman who only eats to seem less... not human.

Less not human. She's not a succubus is she? That sounds like your sort of luck.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Leonard. She's not a succubus and she really doesn't like the term vampire, but that's closer. Just not the "I vant to suck your blood" type.

I have only your best interests at heart.

You're a good friend. If it helps, I haven't been on the menu. Anger's not much her flavor of choice.

Anger as in... she feeds off of?

Emotion. She consensually feeds off of emotion, and no, I haven't seen her do it.

Well I don't imagine that it would take a fork and knife. [Luckily he's at the point where nothing really surprises him.]

I'm expecting not. As you can imagine, she doesn't have a whole lot of use for my cooking, even if she's nice about it.

Sorry, now I'm trying to determine how a life form can sustain it'self on something we would consider intangible.

...I promise not to poke at your girlfriend with a scalpel.

[Shit, science brain is on... better turn it off with another glass of bourbon.]

I can almost guarantee you that whatever you're thinking, it's already gone through my head and more.

She's generally armed, so that's probably a good idea, but I'm pretty sure she'd laugh if you called her my girlfriend to her face.

Not quite to the hand-holding stage yet?

I let her meet my alter-ego. That's pretty intimate for my life these days.

Most guys start with chocolates.

That's not really her speed. Dean Martin movies, mayhem, and bowling are more her thing. I can provide two out of three on my own, but then I have to call in backup.

Not that good at bowling, eh?

Have you ever thought about a physicist bowling?

[Chuckles] Scratch that. How are you at billiards?

You should try me and find out. Two hermits, two sticks, one pitcher of beer for you.

Those numbers sound pretty good. I'll let you know when my local stomping ground opens up again, they have a few tables and a bartender that spoils me.

You're on.

And thanks.
