*Leans over the counter*
Hey, they're both just giving you a hard time. It's their—
*Coughs*
Misguided way of being friendly.

@Meta

Hey! I said I didn’t believe it!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

I think that would be you two.

@Meta

I’m a doubter.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

I really—I didn't—
*Slinks down behind the counter*
...

@Fractured

The burden of proof is on the accuser.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

I don't know, I'm pretty suspicious now...

<Snipped quote by Server>

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Holds out my hands*
Not th-th-that it was my fault. Don't get the wrong idea!

@Fractured

I mean, I’m not sure how old you are but I dunno if you’re old enough for it to be your fault anyway.

Objectively, even. Save for some wild chain of events.

@Meta

A wild series of events, directed by fate, all leading up to Jade’s new employment.

Ever the optimist, huh?

@Meta

You can call it whatever you want, I guess. It’s true though.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Ah, that’s a shame. Too bad.

@Meta

Nah. This one is here because of it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

What happened to the others?

@Meta

They closed? I dunno.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Oh, really? I didn’t realize that. An entrepreneur at heart.

@Meta

No kiddin’. Don’t go asking me for details though. I’ve only heard about it.
