[She very much debates sending this. It isn't her style, not after the losses she's endured, not after the way this place takes, and takes, and takes, so much that it becomes commonplace, that she should find herself numb to it. Evelyn doesn't particularly anticipate replies; people go missing every day.

If anyone sees a tow-headed boy, eight years old, please contact me.

His name is Alex.

[nascensibility]

Did you ever think that more people ought to learn about my time, so I'm not the only person bridging the gap?

[Evelyn replies drily, taking another sip of her closet swill.]

Mondays are free, making exceptions for those that fall within event parameters.

[revokes]

Alright, I'm listening.

[ it all sounds fair enough and as long as Tony is stuck here, he does have a sufficient amount of time to to find a way out and socialize with a rare few. ]

How is it that you're going to teach me about your time? Will be a trade. We'll be business partners.
