Same reason I don't often leave New York these days. But you know what they say: all work and no play.

—Throwing darts shaped like crescent moons. ( obviously. )

[recklessenough]

I find the idea of play to be overrated. [ Having time to 'play' means down time. Down time means time to think. Lockwood tries to avoid that at all costs. ]

Ah. I'd think the shape would make targeting a challenge, unless you throw on a horizontal?

[vestments]

That depends on the what, in my experience. Sometimes the two align. ( or — marc agrees, actually. he tries to avoid being 'marc spector' as much as he possibly can. )

I manage well enough.

[recklessenough]

I'll take your word for it. [ Nope. Just nope. Down time lead to contemplation, consideration of emotions, the grieving of loss. Lockwood ain't got no time for that. ]

I can manage a good pitch with a salt bomb, but prefer to keep my hand on any bladed weapon.

[vestments]

I've found few can go wrong with fists.

A baseball bat's a good second.

[recklessenough]

Fists and baseball bats go through ghosts without harming them.

Also, touching a ghost is instant death, so I'll stick with the salt bombs and the rapier.

[vestments]

Not if you're wearing the right outfit.

( but also, to be fair, marc typically does not deal with ghosts. )

And what's death to someone that's already dead?

[recklessenough]

My friends tend to get upset when I try to make that argument.

[ And we'll move the conversation right along, as he probably hadn't meant to say that aloud. ]

My outfit serves me well for the job I do, as I expect yours does for you. Since you have such a fine tailor.

[vestments]

I don't have any friends.

( not precisely true, still—. )

My outfit's designed for a purpose.

( marc "i want to be seen" spector. )
