"A saxophone plays mournfully in the back ground, the room in filled with smoke from my tenth cigarette in the last hour. It's late afternoon on a dreary day and I'm still hung over from last night. Not a single dame has come in with a case this entire fucking week, I think of my impending bills and some of the people I owe unique ways of getting paid, I finger my 9mm just to make sure it's there. I light another cig and wait for a case"
Anyone got a mystery that needs solving?

Yeah, why did the guy who I quite liked and who I thought quite like me, run away?

3-4 dates, text messages reasonably constant, msn chats etc.. Then, the day before Valentines, nothing. And nothing ever sinse.

And, I've sent two text messages and an e-mail, explaining if he didn't think it would work, to say so, to to just let me know if he was busy etc...


Or, to put it another way, how was I unable to tell he was such a coward?!

*hugs st b*
what a dick, i'm sorry. that's a really unacceptable way to behave - especially ignoring messages you've sent to him.

*hugsback* Thank you!

Yeah, I just really can't figure it out. I should stop, cos it's been two weeks now and we wern't officially an 'item'. But still, something, ANYTHING, even a weedy message would have done!

I can be quite a coward sometimes when it comes to confrontation, but really, even I'm capable of facing up to things like that. Over and done with quickly. It's not like it has to be done face-to-face!

*Hugs St. B as well*

What a cowardly shite. Seriously, that is not how an adult behaves, or at least a mature one. I don't think I have to say that you deserve far better than that.

*Hugs again*

*Hugs for Mythos too*

I know I just wish they'd bleedin' turn up!!!!

Weird though, I've never had someone just run away before. It's disconcerting if anything.

Yeah, it happens.
But you couldn't have known. Don't worry about what you should or shouldn't have seen coming.

*hug*

"A dame walks in. Claiming to be a saint, wants me to find someone. I take another drag, half paying attention. I think I know where to look already. Sure enough I find him in some dive. Hitting on some floozy who's clearly just working him for his money. I shoo her away. Tell the man who I am. I don't even get to hurt him, hell I don't even get to properly threaten the yellow bellied bastard before he starts singing like a canary. I punch him after he spills his guts, I'm sure he deserves it for something"
"Back at the office I inform the dame that the bastard just chickened out, a coward as expected, and she should find someone better. I'm sure she deserves it. I doubt I'm very comforting, but then if I was I wouldn't last long in this business. I tell her I'll send the bill and send her on her way."
"Another case closed. I lean back and light another cigarette. Consider putting an add somewhere 'take all cases. Missing persons, missing kittens, theological paradoxes, mysteries of the universe, blackmail, and espionage' decide I'm too fucking poor and just go for a drink instead"

Thank you El! *hugs*

*Pays the bill promptly*

No problem Ma'am. *stands awkwardly while getting hug* Just doing my job.

Walks though the doors like a man driven by a storm. Finds the Leprechaun sitting at the bar.

I've heard you're good. You good enough to find me a cat? A cat that's sometimes there and sometimes not there?

Sits at the bar, lights a filterless smoke, orders whiskey and waits.

"the man wanted something, I could tell that much. But he kept talking about cats. Why the hell is a grown man at a bar talking about cats? Wait, am I at a bar? What's going on? Am I drun... *passes out*"

not in roleplay i'm afraid - i suck. and kind of similar to st. b's query, although of less import and i'm probably just being silly. but...

i met a guy in guatemala - a couple of times in different parts of the country and we got on quite fantastically well ()
he found me on facebook and we kept in pretty constant contact, just chatting and stuff. he told me he was coming home soon, and he doesn't live that far away from me, and we've been getting on really well and i got quite excited.
then i got a message (on my wall so he would have seen it if he looked) from his mate who i met at the same time, saying hi, how are things etc, and then "ps - [name ommited] talks about you all the time "
and since then i've heard nothing from him. not a word. and i know he's been online and things (stalker alert). and i've messaged him a couple of times and just had no response.

question - should i ask him why he's stopped all communication? or does that make me sound about 13?

Oh, I'm not in role play either. I just like making crap up. Plus this is good practice for when I start doing it in real life.
"There was another dame, her man had disappeared under some pretty sketchy circumstances. Says she can track him down herself, but wonders if she should. I tell her she should. But if she wants to be taken seriously she better bring some muscle with her. I point her in the direction of a dangerous, bear like man in her area. Great guy. Would scare the hell out of anyone who don't know him."
"After the dame leaves, I go out to find the man I was talking to last night. After a few questions with the regulars at my bar I know where to find him. Lives in a rather sketchy area, but he seems an alright bloke. Wants me to track a cat. But he needs to answer a few questions first 'who is this cat?' 'it's there sometimes but sometimes not?' Where's there?' 'What parts are there?'"

Dear Mr. Leprechaun,

I am in need of your services. There are 29 people that I need to locate. All of them are using assumed names. I really do not have any leads that I could give you except that they frequent the Alias bar on Worlds End corner.

I need to locate them urgently as time is running out. The deadline of April 2nd is fast approaching.

I do not have a lot of money but could pay you with baked flour products.

Will you take the case.

Yours Desperately

The Toaster known as Talkie!

Sorry, a late comment I know.

Okay, not directly relevant as she used different channels with no response. - maybe he simply had to get home to his home planet? - But anyway, I used to ignore all text messages for weeks as well.

Did you know that normal cell phones can only store a limited ammount of text messages?
And that if you don't delete text messages it will simply stop receiving new ones? - I didn't!

Sorry Talkie, I'm way too busy to take your case and don't have the slightest idea who is who.

*looks under stairs for the Yellow Pages*

a gal in a smart business suit walk's into the dive offices marked "El Lep ech un, PI"


Mr Leprechaun?

I heard you were good.

I had something stolen from me, it's happening on a regular basis now, probably since around December ish...

I need to know, who's stealing my time! I really need it but i keep looking up and its gone 5pm and my day has gone, or one moment its Friday night, the next it's Monday morning, no sign of Satuday or Sunday.

Can you help?

*hides something*

It wasn't me!
(That would be too easy.)
