Act 010 [video]

[yayashton]

[Ryan is sitting on a couch in what looks like an apartment. It's not, but you're not going to get him to admit that.]

I have a question for those of you in HospiTown. My former roommate, Ed, hasn't been responding to my messages. [Ryan looks unusually concerned.] Has . . . anyone seen him? He's . . . black hair that looks like a mess, terrible fashion sense, sometimes wears a really ugly brown cloak, kind of an idiot.

Nevermind. [Ryan visibly shifts out of the concern.] Regardless of whether or not Ed is still around, I do need your help with something else. I keep a record of events, as some of you might know, but it has become rather difficult to keep track of events now that we're all no longer in the same place. Tell me, what has happened in HospiTown?

Ah, Louboutins. Also an excellent choice. [He smiles.] She has good taste, I can see why it would be hard to replace her.

[arrogantalloy]

It was more than just her taste that had her on the pay roll.

Not that she's in the position any more.

[yayashton]

I figured, but shoes say a lot about a person and I suspect that to keep up with you she had to be fairly no-nonsense so the shoes aren't a status symbol. They're just because she's worth it. [Ryan shrugs.] I assume you promoted her.

[arrogantalloy]

I made her my C.E.O. So yeah, kind of the ultimate promotion. But you're right about the no nonsense.

[There's a pause that's almost fond.]

And she is certainly worth it.

[yayashton]

She sounds like a fantastic woman. I'm not sure why she put up with you, but that's not any of my business.

[arrogantalloy]

I ask that every day. But yeah, she really is. It's kind of why I pay her so much.
