[Whoops, has he offended him? Time to zip it, no laughing, nope, no siree, back to taking this is all very very seriously. Super business tone, nothing funny here.

Nothing funny at all, because while Will would like to assume Ray is being sarcastic and whatnot...he does work within law enforcement. It could look extremely bad if their liaison just ignored that. He's supposed to listen, anyway. Will Graham knows full well that not everyone speaks and communicates the same.]

You've been beaten for going AWOL? Or heard about someone who has?

[ Yeaaaaahhhh, no. Offended he is not. Try a little harder, Will. Well. Actually. It doesn't take that much to piss him off, though you could talk to Jeff about what exactly it takes for Ray to punch people in the face. (Quite a lot, actually. Though violence in general is another story.)

And he was going to make some sort of comedic comment just to impress upon the fact that he's not upset or anything but woah, buddy- ]

That's what people're bein doled out with for that? [ His tone is somewhere between 'huh' and surprise. Mainly because Ray doesn't really care much about politics, he bullshits his way around them for the most part. But still. Some things are important to know. ] Thought it was just a thing.

Not as far as I know, but I've heard much more paranoid and completely unfounded theories about this government before.

[He was just trying to do his job, gosh. He's like Special Inspector Gadget, always on duty.]

[ .... when you're considering absconding to Canada because Fraser loves it there more than he will ever love it here, Ray finds these things a little important. But that's super secret. ]

Uhhh huh. Probly worth listening to every once in awhile but yeah, people love making shit grow outta nothing. [ People like Ray, oops. ] I mean, not gonna lie, politics ain't my thing. Went and shocked everyone when I made it to Detective.

[As far as Will knows, it's just shit outta nothing. Then again, he's well aware he'll never have the same level of clearance or even the shot to get there that he did back home, regardless of how many murderers he helps put behind bars. So maybe it's just that one rung out of his reach where he can find the files about AWOL imPorts are, in fact, to get a few stick lashings before they're put back.

Government spankings.]

They really do. [Said in the beaten down sort of agreement that is actual, wearied agreement, not just trying to be polite or not kick up a fuss. People just love making mountains out of molehills, at least some things stay the same whatever universe he ends up in.] You in that work here, too?

[ The Government needs a new kink okay. And Ray would claim that he doesn't so much make mountains out of molehills, it's that the mountain's he cares about are some really big fucking mountains. That need to be defended. With his heated rage. And being allowed to go to Canada will be one of those mountains.

But really, Will, don't sound so haggard. Ray is adult enough to know that this shit sucks but fully aware that talking circles around it won't make you feel any better. It might fix things eventually but perpetuating misery by being miserable is something he's done enough years of his life that he doesn't like to purposefully get on that train. ]

I'm a PI around these parts. If you can call that cop work, then- i'll let you be the judge'a that one. [ He has mixed feelings. But mostly he sounds kind of amused. ]

[Enter into an underground boxing match where the prize is getting to live in Canada without the US government being a butt about it, Ray. You can do this. Misery loves company, though. That's why bars exist, isn't it?]

Depends on what sort of PI work you do, but I know that a lot have some degree of frequent communication with law enforcement. [The ones who work for insurance companies or in a criminal sense probably have more of that than the ones who just, like, stalk people's boyfriends/girlfriends to see if they're cheating, though. Will isn't amused, but his tone is as light as can be without sounding...off. Just talking about normal things, nothing weird here.] I've been consulting with Internal Affairs for about three months now.

[ If he could do that. If he could do that. He would be so proud of himself and it would be the biggest surprise for Fraser and man he would just-- but yeah, bars. Sign him up. Now that Fraser had the chance to get plastered, Ray's pretty sure it's his turn. ]

Fraser'd pop me one before we agreed to do the hunting down of ex-boyfriends and lost cats. I'd probably knock myself around a little too, not really my thing. Get down to it, I actually liked being a cop. [ He just sucked at the politics of it. But considering how fast he became a Detective, he managed to prove to at least a few people that he was both good at the job and... cared. ]

You serious? Internal Affairs would'a kicked me out a window if they could've. [ Well, Ray, maybe if you stopped shouting so much........ ]

[Ray goes down in history books! They will remember him for centuries.]

I am. It was as close to my old position as I could get. [Not-FBI for life over here.] To be honest, Internal Affairs is the one that could used with being kicked out a window some days, but you didn't hear that from me.

[Somewhat aggressively tries to relate.

Except really, these guys pay Crane. Give them the boot.]

[ There will only be one small passage about his hair. The rest will be about his accomplishments, yes..... But wow Will, you just made his love for you increase by like. One Hundred. Not that anyone really likes IA but still. It's always one of those things that's nice to hear.]

I'm taking your some days and raising you to every day, but 'parently I got a habit of making people dislike me or something. IA just doesn't appreciate the ah, marke.. metho- [ Methodology is a big word. ] - style.

[Support and love your local police-imPort liaison! That's so sweet, Ray.]

Should I file a complaint about this on your behalf?

[HE'S JOKING]

[ He's just that kind of a person. ]

Make sure you put my address on it huh, see what happens. [ ....... but is he joking. ]

[UNSURE.]

Good thing I don't know your address.

[That's a final statement instead of Will fishing. He doesn't want it, no, don't do it, not in this context.]

So you'd really do it? Send it in, just like that, see what happens?

[ Actually, he's kind of curious. He really doesn't give a shit about going one on one in the ring with IA (or maybe he should... Fraser might save him eventually) but he's ambivalent about handing out his address. Private, much? ]

It's part of my job to pass along concerns and complaints. What happens after that isn't something I can predict, though I'd wager in this case...

[A heavy, long pause, as though Will is seriously needing to think this over...except it's just for drama.]

...they toss it and do nothing. So it's not worth bringing to their attention.

[ Bum bumm bummm.... DRAMATIC REVERB!! Fine, everyone always ruins his fun. A guy's gotta get angry every now and again, okay. Especially if that guy is Ray. ]

Just one less excuse to get in trouble over a fist fight.

[Calm down, Ray, it'll be all right. Take a chill pill. Cook something terrible for Mister Partner.]

Until the next chaotic incident comes along and you might or might not be able to get away with beating the shit out of imPorts and regular people alike, yeah.

[So hopeful.]

[ He doesn't actually beat people up that often! He swears! He's a pacifist! He just makes a lot of threats and punches walls okay, nbd. He just has strong emotions, he can't help it. ]

Hey, hey- I don't beat the shit outta anyone just for kicks. Or, y'know- for anything else.

[Isn't he Canadian!? Of course he's a pacifist, they're synonymous!]

Oh, don't worry. I believe you.

[C:]

[ ..... he's a Chicagoite. Just don't mind his super Canadian accent because, y'know... just because. The world is sneaky like that. ]

Yeah, i'm sure.

[Clearly it's time to track down clips of him speaking, in that case.]

So did we cover everything or was there something else you had in mind?

[DID THEY SOCIALIZE ENOUGH AND PROPERLY? GOOD REVIEWS ON YELP?]

[ .... you mean like this? or this? or this??? there, have fun. watch the totally-straight-canadians. ]

Nah, we're good. I'll let you get back to your... whatever it is you were doin.

[ BEST REVIEWS ON YELP, not closing anytime soon! ]

[OH BLESS]

All right. It was nice talking to you. [That's polite, right???? A+ etiquette.] See you around.

[He's not good at hellos or goodbyes, that's what Ray gets instead. See ya, partner.

...not that kind of partner.]

[ IKR. so canadian. so very fucking canadian. ]

Yeah, you too.

[ See look, he'll do the hanging up job. There. Done. Audios buddydude. ]
