I might want to proofread it and just edit the letter where needed. I excelled back home in persuasive English rhetoric, almost as much as I did in basic firearms." Koln chuckles to himself at the little joke and reaches to pet Socrates, but his hand finds only the empty soap dish.Koln being crazy[sblock] He looks down at the floor for his friend but notices he is standing in a small puddle of blood. Startled, he looks back up at the shower head, but everything appears normal. He studies the faucet as the water continues to spray downward against his body. 'Maybe I am the one that's bleeding?' Koln thinks and quickly looks over himself. While he has suffered a few scrapes from his spar with Ruby, there is nothing that appears to be bleeding. He moves away from the running stream and watches in disbelief as the drops of water fall from the faucet and smack against the bottom of the shower in small 'splats' of blood! The water is killing itself! Koln hurries, moving his hands against the running shower head to block it. The water stops, but Koln watches in horror as small streams of blood trickle between his knuckles. He lets go as the faucet blasts Koln with the blood of the water he accidently crushed to death against the faucet. "Ok, I am clean enough!" Koln decides and reaches to the knob that will turn off the shower. He grunts and strains, but the lever would not budge. He grits his teeth and puts all of his strength into it. His eyes widen in horror as he hears what sounds like bones slowly cracking until they completely snap, leaving him holding the broken handle. In the lever's place is a dark hole. Koln bends over, peering into the abyss, "Hello?"No one's in there, at least no one he can see. Figuring enough is enough ((And I gotta end this quick although I had more wackiness planned, but I need to get to work!)) Koln clenches his eyes and growls out in anger, "In the name of my Father, Enough!" He opens his eyes and watches as the blood gathers, forming into their former drops and returning back up into the faucet in a backwards gravity-defying stream. Koln moves himself in the way of this illogical stream so he can finally get clean. A familiar hand reaches through the hole where the lever was and places beside Koln a rubber ducky and shampoo, both of which Koln graciously accepts and uses, "Merci, no worries, I'll keep the duckie away."[/sblock]Soon Koln returns to the room, dressed with the broken shower lever in one hand and a rubber ducky in the other. "I'm all clean now! Er, I think the shower's now broken... but there are others I'm sure. Just uhm, we'll say it was broken when I got in there. It is a long story." He gives the rubber ducky a squeak and smiles. Socrates stays silent, looking up at Koln in disbelief from his coat pocket.</blockquote>
