"Something like that, it'll hit me some random day if I don't look it up first."

"Maybe the corruption thing, although I'm not sure there isn't enough variance in that to make it hard to actually get it wrong."

"How do you mean?"

"Not being a blue, I'm not sure how much corruption there actually is and how much it actually accomplishes but I don't think it's too unlikely that any fictional depiction of it might have in fact happened at some point, so it might be difficult to be absurd enough."

"Makes sense. Eighth?"

"Sounds good!"

"Sandwich place or somewhere else?"

"Sandwich place sounds good."

"See you then."

"See you!"

She shows up at the agreed upon time at the sandwich place.

"Hi again! Good to see you!"

"You too, how goes?"
