..sage pulled out. This was as far as he could go before the apathy would
eat away at his ability to be curious - the hallmark of a researcher.
Lucas smiled. Sharing apathy with others was nothing new to him, but here was
a person who had plumbed through apathy to the pattern beneath, and while 
..sage would never reach the understanding that Lucas had - no-one except
other Melancholae ever would -, he had communed on a level that he had not
done with anyone else since arriving in Generica.
It almost made the job worthwhile - *almost* he mused, and another smile
crept over his morose face.

"Now where have we gotten to?" asked ...sage, looking at his surroundings
in detail for the first since leaving the Inn.
"I believe its a party." answered Lucas. "There was talk about it in the Inn
a while back."

ADMIN : so is Serene and Luthor's party still going on?
