Firmin inhales to say something, no doubt something snippy or snarky, but André quickly cuts in.

"Of course not!" he says hastily. "It's just an accident. And you needn't worry about helping out with payment – as managers, it is our responsibility to handle such matters ourselves, and we've certainly got the funds needed to do so!"

Firmin grunts, clearly not agreeing with that statement, but also not arguing with it, either.

“Oh, Sorelli, you must help me! It’s absolutely horrible!” She said panicked, fidgeting with her hands. “There’s water running from the pipes, and I’m not sure how to stop it! Please help me!” She cried.

Dear oh dear!

Where did it start!? Is there a leak in the ceiling or is it just the pipes? Which pipes? Oh dear... uhm...

[Sorelli stuffed a cloth in the pipe and stepped back]

...perhaps we should get the managers.

[memoirsofamanager]

Firmin!! I saw your wife kissing another woman!

"Really? Are you certain?" Somehow, he doesn't sound all that perturbed. "Not that it matters. Shame that I don't particularly care for your rumors and lies, hm?"

[memoirsofamanager]

He looks back at the pipe, then frowns at the water on the floor. He gripes a bit about the mess, and then even more about the cost of cleaning it up.

"Well, maybe it's just old," André reasons amidst Firmin's complaining, reaching up – standing on his tip-toes in the process – to thump the pipe with his knuckles, as if that would solve anything.

Firmin snorts. "Maybe so, my dear André, maybe so. I dare say, though," he turns his attention back to Nour, "perhaps stuffing a cloth into it wasn't the greatest idea?"

“Oh, Sorelli, you must help me! It’s absolutely horrible!” She said panicked, fidgeting with her hands. “There’s water running from the pipes, and I’m not sure how to stop it! Please help me!” She cried.

[memoirsofamanager]

Upon their arrival, neither manager seems to know precisely what to do – André stands there staring at the leak like he expected a solution to jump out at him, whilst Firmin looked like he was mentally calculating the cost of getting this mess fixed.

It's Firmin who finally asks, "What on Earth happened?", trying his very best not to come off as too upset with the mishap.

👀 what business are you trying to hide from the police, Firmin?

"None at all. I'm allowed to dislike them and I'm allowed to not want them here."

[memoirsofamanager]

"I highly doubt you want to be indebted to me. I always find a way to get what I'm owed."

[For Firmin]

Speaking of doing stupid tricks for money… Didn’t you say you could unhinge your jaw ?

(And don’t tell André about this)

"Maybe I did. What about it?"

[memoirsofamanager]

(For Firmin)

Hey look, the police is here

Firmin looks around suspiciously.

"They had better not be. I don't need them sticking their nose into my business."

[memoirsofamanager]

Are you right-handed or left-handed ?

"Oh, me? I'm right-handed – not too interesting, I'm afraid. Richard is left-handed, though."

[memoirsofamanager]

"I don't know, sounds a bit like too much work. ...How much do you have?"

[For Firmin]

[memoirsofamanager]

I was wondering..I recently saw Violette talking to you about me..and..do you know if they talk about me to others a lot? Simply curious..

(i know i’m so late to this 😭🙏)

André tilts his head thoughtfully.

"Oh, well, I'm not sure...Though, if I were to hazard a guess, I would say that she may.." He shrugs. "Of course, that's just a guess on my part – I- I really can't say."

[memoirsofamanager]

How far are you willing to do what we want for our amusement??

(especially if there's pay involved?)

Firmin opens his mouth to say something, but André quickly puts a stop to that.

"Oh, no, no, no, absolutely not," André says. "We get paid well enough, and I will not allow either of us" – he glares at Firmin – "to do stupid things for the sake of money."

Firmin's shoulders slump a bit. He seems disappointed.

[memoirsofamanager]

Can you kiss each other on the cheek?

True to nature, Firmin takes the smartass approach to answering this.

"Obviously we can," he states gruffly, a look in his eyes telling you that he knows he's being an ass, "what sort of question is that?"

André is quick to reprimand him for this – "Oh, don't be rude, you know perfectly well what they were asking!"

Firmin merely rolls his eyes, then leans down and pecks André on the cheek – André returns it in kind.

[memoirsofamanager]

As you keep talking, he just sort of...looks at you. Cocks a brow at you and tilts his head.

"And here I thought I was easily distracted," he teases. "Well, I've always been told I'm easy to open up to!"

YOU’RE BACK !!

Certainly! And I am quite excited to talk to you all!

Richard isn't exactly excited, but there's also nothing he can do about it, so...

[memoirsofamanager]

"Tch! I don't disappear! I'm just quite good at not being seen – one of the advantages of being a man of smaller stature!"

He adjusts his glasses, leaning in to look at the cat pictures curiously. There's a glimmer in his eyes as a grin forms on his face.

"Aw, she's adorable! I would die for her."

YOU’RE BACK !!

Certainly! And I am quite excited to talk to you all!

Richard isn't exactly excited, but there's also nothing he can do about it, so...

[memoirsofamanager]

With poorly hidden vexation lacing his voice, he tilts his head. "Oh.....Did she, now? How exciting." He claps his hands together. "Ah, well, yes, of course I am aware of our new painter! What sort of manager would I be otherwise, hm?"

YOU’RE BACK !!

Certainly! And I am quite excited to talk to you all!

Richard isn't exactly excited, but there's also nothing he can do about it, so...

[memoirsofamanager]

(Sees they're back and promptly screams too gleefully) THE GAYS ARE BACK!! (before running away)

Gah–
