[pillz]

cool. well i got a job you might want to think about, lil bit less fucking incompatible with the impending doom than maybe youd think.

you heard about the ritual and shit?

[roughworkdone]

Yeah. Seen a lot of people making a lot of plans. Wringing their hands over moral questions and dilemmas.

What's the job?

[pillz]

i think maybe the kids need to be at the ritual. I ain't sure, but i'm also not sure the shit that lynch and i made for it is really gonna work. it's a shitty smeary amorphous spitfuck. best of times, magic is approximate.

[dr. chilton would be very mad he is cussing so much, but he used the word 'approximate.' treat please.]

[roughworkdone]

You want me to get the kids?

[ Time is money, Kavinsky. Also, probably imperative. ]

You've been here longer. You just hedging bets or you think everyone's gonna fuck things up if they ignore that part?

just hedging bets.

hard not to notice most of the people betting on the conduits don't know jack shit about magic. they like their science, convenience, luck. human ingenuity against the fucking odds. honor. blah blah, woof woof.

but i know magic. and that's some of my > human ingenuity they're pitting against cosmic power. the rest of my human fuckin ingenuity says something different. you get me?

[roughworkdone]

[There's a pause on the other end, thinking.]

I need more information and I don't know how much of this we should be trading in writing. I'll do it. I like contingencies upon contingencies.

I know better than to think any of them can outsmart this kind of thing. As far as I understand, that just isn't how it works.

[pillz]

what city you at? i'll meet you there in 30.

[roughworkdone]

Maurtia. I'll be by the canal.

[At least he has the courtesy to give Kavinsky a cross street to make hunting him down easier.]
