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.

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.

[napoleonicrat]

So we are. How over will we entertain ourselves?

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

Well away from you, at least insofar as I'm concerned.

[napoleonicrat]

You wound me, Basil.

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

You're acting like I should find that a bad thing.

[napoleonicrat]

Do you?

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

Hardly.

[napoleonicrat]

Then there's no need to worry.

[ifyoullexcuseme.livejournal.com]

Who said I was worried?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Did you say ants? Where did you find ants?

[napoleonicrat]

Ah, well. I'll suppose I'll have to make do without you.

[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?

[napoleonicrat]

You really don't know Christmas!

[Bursts into laughter.]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

... What?

[napoleonicrat]

[Deep, calming breath.]

Nothing, nothing.

I simply find it amusing.

[fakereputations.livejournal.com]

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

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Let me guess, they're some big shot where you're from, right?
