Here they are, having a cute post-death reunion!
[I bet you can't list them all while Chainsaw's getting increasingly offended by your "daydreaming",] teases Timer.
[That eager to hear me call myself a slut? 'Cause hey, if that's what you're into...]
[Just following the conversational thread, babe.]
[Mmmmm.]
And that's it from him, for another little while.

Timer goes to the restaurant for drinks with Fractal, gets slightly tipsy, timers his way home, and picks up a book.
That's curious. It's been some time now.

Nothing.
In fact, nothing. Like he's not on the network at all.

...He would probably have said goodbye.
Is this a good time to use one of these coins to go find him?

Not especially.
On a scale of minutes, it's in about ten. On a scale of days, it's in about five. On a scale of years, it's next month. On a scale of centuries, it's... still next month.

Checking multiple scales is good for finding focal points like that.
But a good time to call Eights is in about thirty minutes.
Timer sits tight.
He lets half an hour go by.
And he phones her.

"Hi, Eights, what's up? This was a good time to call you, and, perhaps relatedly, do you know where the Joker went?"
"...Technically no," she says. "But I do know Chainsaw set him on fire and I haven't seen him since. Uh. Sorry. He seemed really happy about it, if that's any consolation."
"I bet he was. He's not telepathy-able right now, though, and I'm confused - he either went home without stopping in to say goodbye, or Chainsaw managed to kill him after all."
"Well, damn. Now either Bella's going to split him too, or a vampire with a missing mate is going to be looking after my kid."
"Eh. He at least thought he knew what he was getting into. Thanks for telling me."
"Later, Eights."
This is a good time to hang up.
There's no way to get a look in the queue. Usually.
Is this a good time to wish a look in the queue?

Wish. (Timer doesn't have a great sense of which coins are for which things, so he goes from a triangle up. Takes a square.)
