Gwynning: Glit, xV… do you work for Synecta’s medical trials department?
xVerity: I do.
xVerity: I believe Glit was independently contracted through a third-party employer.
GlitterDoctor: Mhmm, although I do most of my work for Synecta
GlitterDoctor: There’s not really any other big pharmaceutical company in Aurora, and since I have my cushy ethics job, my options are pretty limited
GlitterDoctor: I could set up a practice somewhere, I guess, and give the “real doctor” thing a try, but the hours I work a week are sensible, and I don’t want to up my workload when I could be with Parker instead
TeenDad2: <3
TeenDad2: Sweet baby
KnotMyProblem: So do you guys think it’s at all suspicious that you’re all connected in strangely similar ways?
Gwynning: It’s a small world, Knot. There are coincidences everywhere if you look hard enough
KnotMyProblem: But coincidences THIS big?
KnotMyProblem: And it’s not only that so many of us have similar jobs
KnotMyProblem: all of us are technically family if you think about it
KnotMyProblem: Doesn’t that feel a little TOO neatly wrapped up? Like maybe someone is pulling the strings behind the curtains somewhere?
TeenDad2: What about xV? :( he’s not related to any of us
KnotMyProblem: Oh, don’t you worry, TD
KnotMyProblem: In a couple years news will break that xV is actually Gwynn’s long-lost brother or some shit and then we’ll be one big happy Single Dad family
TeenDad2: I hope so!
xVerity: Sorry to disappoint you, Knot, but I’m not Gwynn’s brother.
KnotMyProblem: I don’t know if you get to decide that. That sounds like something the universe calls the shots on
KnotMyProblem: And by universe, I mean the “author”
GlitterDoctor: Knot, I’m gonna come pay you a house call
GlitterDoctor: You’ve been increasingly alarmed over this whole author thing for the last few weeks
KnotMyProblem: You would be, too, if you knew what I do!
Gwynning: Say hi to Matthew and the kids for me, Glit
GlitterDoctor: Of course
KnotMyProblem: No need
KnotMyProblem: I’ll play nice for now
KnotMyProblem: My brother is working on something that’ll prove to you that I’m not blowing smoke up your ass. Until then, I’ll let it drop
KnotMyProblem: But just you wait until the day I blow the lid off this X-Files case. Mulder, eat your heart out. Knot’s running this bitch now.
