"Hello.

You've reached the direct line of Doctor Frederick Chilton. As I am not available at the moment, you might assume I'm quite busy with something pressing. State your name and business, and I will return your call."

[detriments]

We'll make it a surprise for you. You do like surprises, don't you?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Sometimes. Is the timing going to be surprising, too? Though I guess I haven't much attire to change into.

[detriments]

You're absolutely free to decide when I should come see you.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Thanks fir your generosity. Would tomorrow night suit you? I might need the lift, as I have some obligations to attend to the day of.

[detriments]

Tomorrow night it is. I'll tell you when to expect me.

Tell me about your day.

[slightlyoffchilt]

My day? It mostly involved interviews with my soon-to-be supervisor at the psychiatric hospital I'll be eventually working at. Even if it is probationary.

I have to commit to some round of community service, it seems, as well.

[detriments]

Such a bother, isn't it, to have to start all over again.

[slightlyoffchilt]

[He takes a few moments, before responding, wondering if she's only just humoring him.]

Again, and again. This can easily feel like some sort of purgatory. But at least we have good company.

[detriments]

I have to admit I'm quite impressed with how organized things are this time around. I'm not so sure I like being closely watched, however.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I noticed our numbers seemed relatively fewer, however, at that discussion, or whatever it was, with Captain Holiday.

Was there anyone you were missing?

[detriments]

No one I've tried talking to. But I haven't reached out to all my contacts just yet.

Have you?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Truthfully, I've been actively avoiding certain imPorts. I didn't leave the other world on good terms with some of them.

[detriments]

Dare I ask?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh, no, I wouldn't want you to get jealous. Not that you would.

[detriments]

I just might! I'm not a fan of competition.

[slightlyoffchilt]

One could easily assume otherwise. You like people, you're confident, you appear to enjoy conflict.

[detriments]

[wow Chilton maybe you're not as dumb as she thinks

maybe]

I don't like feeling bored, either, if that's what you mean.

[slightlyoffchilt]

It isn't quite what I meant.

Is this boring you?

[detriments]

Not yet.

[slightlyoffchilt]

There's more to you than merely sexual exploits, Christine.

[detriments]

I know.

[You're the one in question, doctor.]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Of course you do. And I intend to acknowledge those, as well.

[He means her evident psychological quirks, and nothing more. But it wouldn't do to discuss that, would it?]

[detriments]

Not quite what I had in mind.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Why not? We could have a fun time with it. Make it a bit of a game.

[detriments]

It sounds more like it would be another day of work for you.
