Chapter 96: Killing Time

Misha

"Ah! Geez, I am sick and tired of all the rats in the palace. When will we be able to breathe?" Anon says in frustration.

When I explained what I heard yesterday Jay and Anon both reacted the same way. They were annoyed but grateful I caught it before something bad could happen.

"Also Misha, this is 2023. We don't use people to taste food for poison. Where the hell did you get that idea?" Anon says.

Yup, this is embarrassing. Sometimes the fantasy books I read spill over into reality.

"Yeah, I know. I was just joking. Obviously. Do you have test strips or something?" I ask, trying to distract them from my mistake.
