That's not really a thing that happens, is it?

this definitely wasn’t a valentine

i was in the neighborhood
needed a place to lay low and patch myself up
thought the note was a nice courtesy but i didn’t see the blood until after

[vestments]

You don't need to worry about courtesy.

[redhourglass]

yeah well
wait until you see your bathroom then decide

[vestments]

( fuck his life.

eventually— )

I'll consider it penance for all the times I tracked blood across my house and expected my housekeeper to clean it up.

[redhourglass]

you had a housekeeper?
what is this, marc spector, billionaire?

[vestments]

Mooncopters don't pay for themselves.

( millionaire, thanks. )

[redhourglass]

( … sir… )

i want a refund on my courtesy note

[vestments]

In what, more blood?

[redhourglass]

i take credit card

[vestments]

My accountant informs me I'm cash poor.

[redhourglass]

i could think of a few other ways you could make it up to me

( the 💋 is implied )

[vestments]

I take direction well.

( .........debatable. )

[redhourglass]

well for starters
i still haven't nailed down where i'm sleeping tonight

[vestments]

My offer depends on what you're after.

[redhourglass]

i'd give a hell of a lot for a shower
you joining me is optional

[vestments]

Shower, I can do.
Have a couple of properties around the area if you wanted a bathroom you haven't already ( ... ) redecorated.

Not sure about the optional part.

[redhourglass]

i'll take it
address?

and that's why it was optional

[vestments]

( he sends an address of a brownstone townhouse ostensibly linked to marc spector — not, perhaps surprisingly, steven grant given the myriad of properties under marc spector-steven grant-jake lockley triangle that are steven's and not marc's (and even fewer that are in jake's name). at one point — briefly, a not uncommon example of marc jumping into questionable decisions feet first off the back of even more questionable mental health — it was an art gallery, co-owned with a JEAN-PAUL DUCHAMP, former mercenary, longtime former acquaintance of SPECTOR's.

after its short-lived time as a gallery, it'd been somewhere marc had lived (briefly, again) after his FACE CARVING fiasco, after marlene had broken up with him for the god knows numbered time. now, it's mostly disused and vaguely forgotten about except for when it comes in useful. )

Excuse the dust.
If you get there first, I'm sure you can find a way in.
