All right, enough negativity, guys. Best costumes.

My hat is awesome.

Does "dumped romantic who still gives it the old college try" count?

Man, that's just sad. Still, a romantic is a romantic.

Yeah, I know. But damn, no one piloted a mech like she did. Or wore a pilot's suit that way.

Seems like you still carry a torch.

I work with her kid. Kinda awkward.

Awkward is one word for it, Herr. Sounds like a rough gig.

Pretty much. Good kid, though, even if she's a bad student.

Finding a kid with a healthy ambition is pretty difficult.

Tell me about it. The kid I used to tutor? It's like he lost his drive now that he's all grown up and mature now. Shame.

Settling into old age can ruin you.

Which is why I'm not going to get old.

Well, now you have to enlighten me.

Well, I haven't aged in the past 13 years. Problem of being stuck in another dimension. And worldhopping out would probably kill me, so for now, I'm okay just doing what I'm doing until I can safely get out.

But that's not true immortality, is it?

Nah, but who wants to live forever? I'm just working out a way to get my body out without it exploding or something.

I can think of at least one person who wants to live forever. It's very problematic for me.

So, how did you end up in such a conundrum, Herr?

Wrong place at the wrong time. If you've got an optional holiday party at work, stay home and get drunk.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind the next time I'm invited to an office party, Herr.

Oh yeah, getting drunk at home is so much better.

At least when you're at home you don't have to deal with that awkward moment at the end of the night where they flip on the lights, illuminating you to the full horror of your situation. You know, when you realize you've spent the last half hour having a conversation with a snooker cue.

Oh man, no kidding. That happened one time with a pilot uniform left hanging around. I was wondering why they weren't talking to me.

I spend too much time in bars, I see some pretty ludicrous things go down when people get drunk. It's great when it's not happening to you.

Preaching to the choir.

It's my job, it's what I do. Sort of.
