[Lust's expression is thoughtful when she flicks on her 'gear, the device propped on a coffee table in what looks like a living room. She's settled on her couch, a stack of books visible next to her.]

Indulge my curiosity...

Does anyone else come from a world where the predominant entertainment is radio? Much as I enjoy television and films, I miss a good radio drama. There's something to be said for allowing the imagination to fill in the pictures.

Actually, I was a news reporter.

But oh, you should have seen the other programs we had at Night Vale Community Radio! Live broadcasts of insects crawling, morse code for trumpet quintets, our popular game show "Wait, Wait, Don't, No, Don't, Please, Don't!", sports...

It was...pretty neat!

[a_sin_for_him]

Oh, but that's not fiction. That's...avant garde. It's not quite the same. Though it's fascinating, as far as popular entertainment goes.

Were there any dramas at all?

this is a real podcast he's talking about

[nvcr]

A few. I only listened to a few episodes, but I think there was, like, something about this one rich married couple that talked to ghosts and traversed the depths of hell itself and stuff?

I don't know, you sound like the type of person who'd like that, if I can assume anything at all about you.

[a_sin_for_him]

It does sound rather interesting. I enjoy ghost stories, though I prefer mysteries.

Though it never does to assume anything of any woman.

My mistake. I should really know better; the last time this happened she rearranged my entire jadeite bowl collection and set my table on fire, so it's like, "oh, silly Cecil! You should really stop repeating past errors."

[a_sin_for_him]

You're hardly the first.

It's alright. I don't set things on fire anymore.

[nvcr]

Oh come on, there's always a time to relapse into old habits.

[a_sin_for_him]

I maintain many of my old habits.

Just not arson.

At least not intentionally.
