Help: Hide me from my sister.

Why?

Once she finds out I am in New York, she'll want to kill me.

Literally or more in a short sheeting your bed sort of way?

If I said literally, you'll wonder what kind of crazy ass family I come from.

This is New York. In some neighborhoods the family feud has been raised to an art form. *laughs* It takes more than that to rattle me.

Yeah, it’s a crazy place with some insane people in it.

Hey! It's a great city. *only sounds moderately convinced* Why come if you don't like it?

Hmm, for the crazy types. *Shrugs.* Work for starters. Honestly, it's not a bad place I like the chaos.

If work brings you here, there isn't much to be done about that.

And if you want chaos, you can find it here. Particularly certain sections during the businessman's lunch rush.

True that. I'll tell Fin the same thing, worst thing that'll happen is her reply will probably make me temporarily deaf.

You sound like you've knocked around in it for a while, transplant or home-bred local?

Is it worth continuing to hide from her? It is a very large city, plenty of people to hide behind.

I've had an apartment here for about 8 years, although I was rarely ever here because of work travel. I'm from Ohio.

Yeah? What type of work is it?

I'm a writer. I travel for inspiration. *laughs* And to cover my shameful profession.

How come?

'cause she's evil is how come. All sisters are.

My sister's evil! She's the best.

*Laughs.* I believe it.

Whose older, you or her?

I'm the oldest!

Color me jealous. I'm the youngest.

What did you do?

Nothing! Kinda broke a promise.

Yeah, *laughs* good look with that. Siblings tend to take stuff like that seriously.
