Oh, I don't know. I'm getting a bit old for that sort of thing. I don't know what I'd say to Taura if I missed family dinner because I got sucked out of a Blockbuster into the Plateau of Leng or something.
Not even a little look? You have a lot more experience than I do in these matters... I dunno, can’t we secure it better than the woman I talked to stealing all the keys to the back room?
I hate to think of just slamming the door shut, it might not even be possible, but y’know that stuff is kind of like planting Eurasian blackberries in your yard. Just too eager to crowd out everything else!
It's very hard to secure these things without at least one person having an terrible misadventure in mad lands full of monsters whose very shapes are beyond the fathoming of man, where the cold stars hang low above bottomless seas and all of human history is nothing but foam upon the crest of its ochre waves.
...but I suppose I do know a symbol or two that might help. And my next class isn't till four.
[Hange looks reputable enough today, which. Is not always the case. She's standing under the small awning peoplewatching, and traffic watching; when she spots Stanford she makes her way over and links her arm in his.]
You can't hint at things like that and then not tell me! [She laughs.] Walk it? It's nice today.
[It's wet and chilly, with a porridge of fallen leaves piling up in the gutters and autumn crispness to the air: nice!]
[Ford laughs it off, ha ha ha the cult of Nyarlathotep is always recruiting high schoolers for the summer, and has known Zoe long enough that he doesn't shake her arm off.]
I agree completely.
[It isn't storming or snowing and he still has feeling in all of his limbs! That's nice weather.]
So, what else did your contact say about this portal?
It's in the back room, she's gonna make off with the keys, something that looks like a cat followed her out. Cats! You know! Ha ha ha!
[Cats are sometimes help and sometimes trouble and sometimes both at once. The universe loves cats?]
They weren't good photos, but I can't blame the woman. The sun looked green if it was a sun. At least where the portal opens out, it looks mostly covered in ocean, not quite proper ocean. The cat's actually full of tentacles, but seems to be behaving itself and she wants to keep it?

Anyway, be there in a minute!

He'll be outside the Dunkin a few minutes later, in his usual sweater and overcoat.]
