[ Ramona appears on screen, more than a little upset and more than a little bit head glow-y. ]

Okay, Whose idea of a sick joke is this?

[ She holds up what looks to be a red and white Rickenbacker bass with its neck broken in half. She points to it and stares, expecting the camera to respond to her. She's got a cigarette in this hand, which she quickly takes a puff off of. ]

I don't know who's responsible for it, but I'm pissed. Is this some kind of stupid threat? I swear to God if Gideon has shown back up or something- [ She takes a deep breath and sets the instrument down. ]

Whatever. This is dumb

On my way over.

[subspaceflowers]

Don't bother knocking. Just come on in okay?

[text message]

[detectivewonder]

Sure.

Are you okay?

[text message]

[subspaceflowers]

Not really. Just crap coming back up to make me feel like crap. The usual.

[text message]

[detectivewonder]

Want to get out of the apartment tonight?

[text message]

[subspaceflowers]

God yes. Please? As long as it involves alcohol, I'm down.

[text message] yay another night of watching his girlfriend drink

[detectivewonder]

I think we can work something out. Pub? Or do you want to snag a bottle of something and keep moving?

[text message]

[subspaceflowers]

Yes. To all of it. Better make it tequila. I don't wanna remember being bummed out.

[detectivewonder]

I think I can come up with a few ways to keep your mind off of it.

[text message]

[detectivewonder]

That wasn't a sexy euphemism.

[text message]

[detectivewonder]

Or, anyway, not just... okay, explaining isn't helping.

[text message]

[subspaceflowers]

What so you're going out of your way to say you don't wanna have sex with me? Charming, really.

[text message]

[detectivewonder]

That is not what I meant. I was just trying to say that I had more than just that meaning in mind.

Talking's not always my best thing. Can I show you?

[text message]

[subspaceflowers]

Sure. I think I actually prefer that, actually.

[text message]

[detectivewonder]

Be right there.

[notvictorious]

That sucks! Hope you catch whoever did it.

[subspaceflowers]

Me too, because this crap isn't funny.

[thneed]

That poor guitar...

[subspaceflowers]

Yeah... It was broken over a robot's head

[thneed]

Why would someone break a guitar over a robot's head? What did the robot do?

[subspaceflowers]

Long, complicated story that involves too many ex boyfriends all at once.

[thneed]

Sorry to hear about that.

[subspaceflowers]

Don't be. It's stupid.

Hey, you don't like, know how to fix these things, do you?

[thneed]

As a matter of fact, I do! I can make that good as new.

[subspaceflowers]

Really? Do you think you could? How much would you charge me?

[thneed]

How much? Umm. How much you got? I've never gotten paid to fix a guitar before it was always mine I was fixing...

What's a fair price for that sort of thing?

[subspaceflowers]

I dunno. Like... 80 bucks? Something like that? If that's not enough, I'm sure I can hook you up with something to help you relax.

[thneed]

80 seems good. ...Like what though?

[subspaceflowers]

That's right. I keep forgetting that you're new here.

Uhh.. come by Lau's antique shop sometime and ask for Ramona, or the delivery girl. I'll hook you up with our special "super sleepytime tea". Does the trick, trust me. Unless you're more of the brownie type.

[thneed]

Yup. New. Nice to meet you, Ramona.

Alright. I'll make sure to do that. I'm guessing it makes you sleepy, right?

[subspaceflowers]

Eventually. When you start to crash.

[thneed]

As long as I don't pass out after sipping it.

[subspaceflowers]

Nah. That's a different store. We don't usually cater to spies and assassins.

[thneed]

But that's exactly what you'd say if you did so the non-spies wouldn't know.

[subspaceflowers]

I'm pretty sure we'd be able to come up with a better disguise than a Chinese antique shop.

[thneed]

But that's why it'd work! Nobody would suspect it because they'd think you can do better.

[subspaceflowers]

Well I guess that'd explain why no one's come sniffing anyway.

So yeah, what'll it be? Where can I drop this thing off?

[thneed]

80 and a tea? You can drop it off at east 302 and I'll get to work on it right away.

[subspaceflowers]

I'll have it over this afternoon. Thank you so much, dude. You're a hero.

[thneed]

Great. You're welcome. It's no problem at all.

[reanimated]

The fuck? You found it like that?

[subspaceflowers]

Right? So stupid. I mean, if it were whole, that'd be one thing..
