Well I say rich, but it's two different things, right. We always had money cos we could travel through space and time so that basically got everything sorted. And we could do that cos of class things. You know you're dealing with pretentious bastards when they call themselves the Lords of Time. It works well for the bits that are important to me.
[He shakes his head with a grin. It's so, well, lordly that it loops back into amusement instead of annoyance at the highhandedness. Well, as long as he doesn't have to deal with them.
[He mutters to himself as if he's taking the thought entirely seriously as they leave the room and head down the corridor. The lighter gets turned over in his hands a few times.]
Should be quick, at least. I can think of worse ways to go.

Can't say I know how it feels, though. The 'rich friends' thing. How'd that work out for you?

Wanna go test these out?

He tosses up the lighter, catching it.]

Plus, if it turns out they implanted secret explosives that go off at a specific number of clicks, I vote the deck over my room.
