A new roommate, boring barista job, two college exams and countless stakeouts later and the government decides to hire me to do something for them. Maybe I should've taken a photography class and gotten noticed sooner, but I guess it doesn't matter.

It makes me wonder if this is their way of making people go to this ball thing, though.

Think of it as I'm avoiding the camera, not you.

[detectflaws.livejournal.com]

This is assuming you'll spot me at all.

[sceneswelost.livejournal.com]

Oh are you a camera ninja in addition to a PI?

[detectflaws.livejournal.com]

No, just tiny.

[sceneswelost.livejournal.com]

Oh that. Well, being taller than everyone I've ever known, I'm used to looking down.

[detectflaws.livejournal.com]

So I should get stilts.

[sceneswelost.livejournal.com]

There's a plan. I won't be expecting you to be taller than me.

[detectflaws.livejournal.com]

I've always been resourceful.

You're like... 6'4, 6'5?

[sceneswelost.livejournal.com]

6'4", yeah.

[detectflaws.livejournal.com]

So I need another foot and three inches. Maybe ++.

[sceneswelost.livejournal.com]

So do you officially qualify for dwarf status or are you just a little bit too tall?

[detectflaws.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, hilarious.

I'd say I'm just a little bit too tall, but I'm not sure what the numbers are.

[sceneswelost.livejournal.com]

I think it's 4'9" or something. So close.

[detectflaws.livejournal.com]

And thankfully yet so far.

I saw you got a date.

[sceneswelost.livejournal.com]

Yeah. My brother the matchmaker.

[detectflaws.livejournal.com]

He seems very loving.

[sceneswelost.livejournal.com]

Yeah if dysfunctional is your thing.

[detectflaws.livejournal.com]

I'm from Neptune. I've seen worse.

[sceneswelost.livejournal.com]

Every time you mention Neptune I think of the planet.

[detectflaws.livejournal.com]

Might as well be the planet since Neptune, CA apparently doesn't exist in the real world. At least you're not making awful puns on my name.

[sceneswelost.livejournal.com]

Sorry, my brother's the punny one.

[detectflaws.livejournal.com]

Hey, I was being grateful here.

[sceneswelost.livejournal.com]

Do you usually get clever puns off your name?

[detectflaws.livejournal.com]

"Usually" might be stretching it. But it happens often enough. Mostly it's event-based.

Like driving a Saturn, or using Venus razors.

[sceneswelost.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay.
