So...what are your thoughts on treasure hunting?

And for that matter, what are your thoughts on conspiracy theories. Like say...a forgotten Templar treasure?

I'll just throw this last one in too. Would you take a stable, if somewhat boring and tedious, job or a chance for an adventure. Would you take a risk like that?

Just curious. [Not like he has a reason for asking or anything.]

They're all real in some world. It sounds more like fun than a risk though.

[lookstairs]

Yeah...but you see, I'd really need it for it to be real in my world.

[tenminutes]

What do you have to lose if it isn't? It's better to try than think about "what if" and miss out.

[lookstairs]

Let's see...there's my job. My living. My reputation....

Should I go on?

[tenminutes]

Just tell everyone you're going on a vacation to the Bahamas. Which if you actually find the treasure, you'll be able to afford.

[lookstairs]

Maybe if I came up with a slightly more believable destination...

[tenminutes]

Fine, what's a good vacation spot that's a 6 hour drive away from where you are so no one's going to think to go after you and meet you there?

[lookstairs]

I could just saying I'm visiting family, I guess.

[tenminutes]

There, see? Problem solved as long as you don't get arrested or end up on the news in a high-speed car chase!

If you do, make sure to broadcast it to the community.

[lookstairs]

I doubt I have to worry about something like that. If the community records are anything to go by it'll broadcast something like that for me.

[tenminutes]

I'll bring the popcorn.

[lookstairs]

Oh good. Someone should enjoy it at least.

[tenminutes]

I never got your name, you know!

[lookstairs]

Right. Knew I forgot something.

I'm Riley Poole. And you are?

[tenminutes]

Yuri or Yurippe, whichever you like better. The longer one's the nickname.

[lookstairs]

Are nicknames generally supposed to be shorter than the actual name?

[tenminutes]

Generally. I didn't make it up though, I just got used to it.

[lookstairs]

Well, in the long run there really are worse nicknames.

Nice to meet you, Yuri.

[tenminutes]

Luckily, that's the only one I've ever had. You too Riley.

[lookstairs]

In that case you're very lucky.

[tenminutes]

I only got it after I died, so not that lucky.

[lookstairs]

Wait. What?

[tenminutes]

Did I stutter?

[lookstairs]

Last time I checked, the dead don't keep up with social networking.

[tenminutes]

Neither do people who are really living life.
