IC contact post

Cooper here. I'm not available at this time, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

_{(ooc: Leave any message here you don't feel like clogging up the friends lists with! Specify video, text, or audio. c:)}

If I did that, I'd always have to come back to it in the end, wouldn't I?

[Which doesn't answer his question, exactly — though perhaps it does answer one of the underlying ones he didn't ask.]

Some do say life is a cycle.

_{[Which, while with a neutral, near matter-of-fact tone, still has an almost careful edge.]}

They also say life is what you make of it. Some little girls in red shoes might find they like their emerald cities and poppy fields better.

[It's no secret to her, what he's doing, and she's well aware that she could deflect it and stop it at any time. But as things usually go with the mysterious Agent Cooper, she can't help but be tempted to let it go just a little farther, just to see what happens.]

If your heart is elsewhere it might not make a difference.

_{[He made sure to take his with him. It would have died a slow death in Philadelphia.]}

I usually keep mine on my sleeve. That's one safe place for it.

Not afraid of what others might see?

As Emerson once said, "Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world."

There aren't many things I'm afraid of.

That's because fear is a powerful agent.

_{["It could still do the trick" is what's missing from that sentence.]}

And courage is the mastery of fear, not the absence of it. It isn't a matter of getting rid of it. It's a matter of overcoming it.

I'm not saying they're mutually exclusive. Courage wouldn't exist without fear.

No, but it's a matter of which one is in control, isn't it? Do you master your fear, or does it master you?

Is that what you called me to talk about?

I called to hear the sound of your voice.

And to find out if you're a man who likes to be owed favors.

_{[Huh. Well that was an unexpected answer. Makes him smile nonetheless, though.]}

That depends. What kind of favor are you asking for?

A job I'm interested in wants me to provide a character reference before they'll hire me.

What kind of job?

_{[And now he's just curious again.]}

Teaching school.

Doesn't sound like a bad fit.

It'd give me a look around the Academy, too.

Expecting to find anything interesting?

There's always something interesting to be found, detective. What matters is how you look.

Amen to that.

Does that mean I now owe you a favor?

As soon as you tell me how to carry out my end of the deal.

_{[Are there papers to sign or people to talk to? :I]}

I'll send over the ID of the person you need to contact. They'll ask you to vouch for my competency and character.

[She sounds entirely too amused at that.]

And a few questions about yourself, I'd assume, to make sure you're a good judge of character.
