Another Actual Conversation

VJ - "So Tom said Christopher and Kathy's new apartment was the second floor, far southwest corner?"

David - "Yeah."

VJ - "So that would be that unit, right?"

David - "I think so.............."

VJ - *spots neighbor on balcony* "Excuse me sir, do you know if someone just moved into that unit?"

Neighbor - *mumbles something incoherent*

VJ and David - *realize that Neighbor is VERY high on something, and possibly also drunk*

David - *knocks on C&K's apartment door*

Neighbor - *looking at David and reaching into his apartment* "You into skateboarding?" *holds out (I kid you not) half a skateboard, broken across the middle*

VJ - *looking at David to avoid making eye contact with Neighbor, really glad David is there*

David "No."

Neighbor - *holds half of skateboard out* "Any interest?"

David - "No."

Neighbor - "Any intests at all?"

VJ - *worries that Neighbor is dangerous, still looking at David, letting him handle Neighbor*

David *non-commital, calming tone* "Yeah. Some."

Neighbor - "Are they light or darkness?"

David *thinks for a sec, obviously doesn't want to set this lunatic off, not sure what sort of answer he's looking for* "Well, they're hard to classify."

David and VJ - *trade glances, realize that C&K aren't home and decide to leave*

Neighbor - *looks down at skateboard, seemingly just realizes that only half of it is there* " Oh, man. This is MESSED UP."

David and VJ - *catch each other's eye and silently nod*
