 		[UPDATE] Quirky Acuity - 16 Jan 07 - Cursed
Kurt amusingly drunk

Quote:
Why? Why am I cursed with an entirely useless group of people as my supposed 'backup'? Why will no one ever listen to anything I say? Why can't the world organise itself according to my convenience? Why doesn't everyone understand that I am almost always right?

Damn and blast. In fact, hellfire, damnation and zounds. This is the sound of a woman who has spent all night in the company of the Perplex City Police, trying to persuade them that the most senior academic in Perplex City is not a flight risk, that he isn't likely to tunnel his way out of the holding cells using a penknife, and that he really doesn't need to be physically restrained. They wouldn't listen, of course, but that didn't mean I stopped trying, as I'm sure you can imagine. Time was when I could have phoned Camryn Scott in a situation like this and got things sorted out - of course, at that time I didn't like to use it, didn't think it was proper somehow. And now, well, calling Scott would have been as useless as calling Skip Applebaum and getting him to read to the police from his most recent dull and rather charmless book. Although, as the evening wore on, don't think I didn't consider it.

Instead, I phoned Kurt. My old, dear friend Kurt. Kurt on whom I can always rely for assistance and for succour. Kurt who has never failed to provide me with a shoulder to cry on or a leg up when needed. It was about 3am. This was how the conversation went.

"Hi Kurt it's Violet. Listen, I need your help."

"Vilet... Vye-let, Vilet I'm in a bar."

"Um, right."

"S'called the Missing Link, I think? S'great they're all rilly friendly, s'great here Vilet, you should come down."

"I can't come down, Kurt, I'm in the police station. I need your help."

"Noooooooooo....."

"..."

"S'not the Missing Link! S'the Missing Piece! Vilet they have a tretretretre head on the wall! I want to wear it. Come here and help me get it down from the wall."

"Kurt. I can't come down. I need your help. Get in a cab, come to the police station, we'll get you some coffee and some Saptivan, you'll be fine."

"But the Missing Piece! Is awesome! S'awesome!"

"Wait, how did you even get into the Missing Piece, Kurt? Teri's not really friendly to... well... and wait, don't they have a puzzle lock on the door? How could you possibly open it in that condition?"

"I'm a genius, Vilet, I'm a genius and no one ever remembers... you never remember, Vilet."

"Yes, fine. Just. Get a cab. Come here."

"A geeeeeeeeeeenius. Ingenious. A genius. And they've supen... they've suspin... they've fired me! They fired me Vilet and I'm a genius."

It was at this point that it became clear to me that Kurt wasn't going to be any help at all. I can't raise him on his key now, nor can I find Caine, and Scarlett's got a 'Do Not Disturb' on hers, so I presume she's still asleep. But Kurt, though - I'm going to pull in every favour I can from every techie I've ever met to make his key sound a foghorn in his ear at regular intervals for the next, oooh, year or so.
