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.

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.

[detectflaws.livejournal.com]

Aaanyway.
