[So Scratch finished his census and he is just really bored. Time to pick up that phone.]

That census was a chore to fill out. Honestly, I'm hoping for something less droll than last year's battle royale murder spree. Killing is also boring and tedious. Well, there are consequences for it now. But, that doesn't change how anti-climatic it is. And if they choose to run it again, then it will only be because they are running out of creative ideas and just want to see everyone turning against each other. [A dramatic sigh, done only for dramatic purposes.] We'll see what happens. I won't make any bets either way, by way of not being a gambling man.

And, that reminds me: I wrote a note to myself after that series of events ended last year that I would send gift baskets to the ones I took out. My apologies for letting that slip my mind. The human mind is not good for flawless memory storage and retrieval, unlike my original head.

Let me see - Nall, Ilsa Higa, Charles Fei-Ong and Sanae Hanekoma. If any of you are still around, tell me what you want in your gift basket. Food, clothes, essential household items, if it fits in I'll send it over. If you don't reply I will assume that you are still in a sour mood over the events of the last year and not send you one out of respect of that mood. That or you're droned. Either or. If it's the former, I advise you that being bitter is not a very good way to live. It wasn't at all a personal affair or one done out of hatred. The first time is always the hardest they say. [tl;dr, stop being mad that I murdered it, it was my first "crazy thing" going on in Mayfield.]

One more other thing: Bernkastel, would you like a rematch? Our fight was undecided and we never had the chance to make it up. We could do something else that is less taxing on our power if you choose to. I know you enjoy games of chess, for example.

And yes, because I am sure you are dying to know, I am that Doc Scratch. The one with a cheap gold trophy in the roller rink I never visit. I saved you several moments of suspicious thoughts toward my message. No need to thank me.

[It's hard, being Doc Scratch and bored. So hard...]

Phone - apologies, Nall holds a grudge...

...Do you SERIOUSLY think that a freaking GIFT BASKET is equivilent to a freaking LIFE?!

[Someone is still bitter. OH SO BITTER.]

Phone - haha its all good

[cueball]

I can't answer that, because there is no real equivalent to a life. This is an offering of peace and without ill-will on my part.

If you're serious about a peace offering, I'd rather that if this all turns out to be a repeat of what happened last year, you not harm anyone, unless it's in self-defense.

If it gives you any slight comfort, I was already planning on that. I have no interest in being involved in such a game again and, as I said, killing without discrimination is not how I operate.

[catslooklikeme]

That does give me comfort actually, but... why the heck did you participate in it last year then?

It was my first time being engaged in Mayfield's activities. I wanted to test the extent it could go to and take the most out of it. There isn't any other reason aside that.
