Hello Marco.

<marco>

[peccatore]

Oh, hello.
It's been a while.

[marcato]

Did you miss me? Did you notice I was gone?

[peccatore]

I have to be honest, I've been a little
preoccupied.
But I hope you've been doing well.
:)

[marcato]

Oh, Marco. If only I could see that sweet smile of yours in person.

[Sweet, anxious, trembling, unbalanced. Whatever.]

But there's no need to worry -- I can picture it well enough. I may have slipped from your mind, dear Marco, but I've been thinking of you.

[peccatore]

[... Marco is... going to assume he's just imagining whatever it is that's making him feel unsettled right now. He has enough reasons to make that assumption, anyway.]

Well, what can I do for you?

[marcato]

You owe me everything. Me and all the other poor souls you brought to this place.

You know that, don't you?

[peccatore]

[His heart drops.]

Tell me what you need.

[marcato]

Oh, Marco. There's no need to be so curt. Despite everything you've done to me, I'm not angry with you.

I'd merely like to see you sometime.

[peccatore]

Well,

I'm usually free after work.

[marcato]

Where do you work? Perhaps I'll come visit you after hours.

[peccatore]

The McGucket Labs.
I don't know if you've heard of the place? It's a workshop by [insert locational frame of reference here.]

[marcato]

I've heard of it. All the same, it's kind of you to give me the address.

I'll see you soon, Marco.

[peccatore]

I'll look forward to it.
:)

[He hasn't... made a mistake, has he?

Funny how hard it can be to shake off the fear sometimes.]
