Quaint little city, isn't it? If only they hadn't been so rude about my... accommodations. But what's past is past. I must say the locals are a joy in themselves, busy like little worker ants. 

Enough about them. I'm a sociable man, so let's do the best to make light out of our unfortunate situation and socialize. Go on, do tell me about your minuscule lives--a name, anything. I'm dying to know. 

Or maybe you'd like to discuss holidays. Christmas will arrive any moment, you know. Any plans? I know have one or two of my own...

Ratigan.

[napoleonicrat]

Basil of Baker Street?

[Uproarious laughter.]

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

I should have known it was only a matter of time before a filthy sewer rat such as yourself ended up in this place.

[napoleonicrat]

[Sounds of angry shouting.]

[napoleonicrat]

And I suppose one of your intellect found this place on purpose.

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

Hardly. I'm just as stuck here as you are.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Did you say ants? Where did you find ants?

[napoleonicrat]

They're an analogy. Try not to take them too literally.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Now he tells me.

[napoleonicrat]

I can't be accountable for a fault in communication.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Could you at least explain who Christmas is? What's so important them? Are they a friend of yours or something?

[fakereputations.livejournal.com]

...You know what? I'm just gonna stop questioning everything I see around here.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

It'd probably make things a whole lot easier.

[fakereputations.livejournal.com]

SURE, talking weasels and rats are completely normal! Can't imagine why I ever thought otherwise!

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Talking whosels?

[fakereputations.livejournal.com]

Weasels.

God, I'm going crazy. I'm having a conversation with it.

[napoleonicrat]

The city has an odd taste for hostages, doesn't it?

[fakereputations.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know about that. I'd say it has pretty fine tastes since it picked me.

Not that I WANT to be here. Working on that escape plan.

[napoleonicrat]

Don't we all?

But ask yourself: who brought a genius like myself here?

[fakereputations.livejournal.com]

Good question.

If you're the brains, why don't you have an answer?

[voice] because clearly rodents need to get together

[meerkatmama.livejournal.com]

You're having trouble finding a place to stay? I've been working on a tunnel system beneath the streets. It might help you out some. It's certainly warmer than some of these... houses.

[voice] the health inspector will love them

[napoleonicrat]

A tunnel system? How most ingenious.

[Light cackle.]

[voice] oh notifs why must you hate me so?

[meerkatmama.livejournal.com]

[if there's any sarcasm involved, she's most definitely not picking up on it]

You think? I find them handy, but an outsider's opinion is always handy.

[voice]

[napoleonicrat]

[Oh, it's genuine, but Ma wouldn't approve of the uses he'd have for them.]

Indeed, so many uses. Tell me...what's the extent of this tunnel?

[voice]

[meerkatmama.livejournal.com]

Well, to be fair, I'm not sure the extent of the city, but I've made quite a few of them. It's a habit that's hard to break.
