019. Diagnosis

[vicodincrutch]

Explosions aren't that scary unless you are in one. If you're in one, you aren't scared for long because then you are blown to bits or in excruciating pain fear doesn't matter. I've seen Die Hard. Independence Day. I can turn on a TV. Here though, I doubt we'll see footage of what happened with a bunch of talking heads. There are a lot of explosions in this stupid place.

They're annoying and loud around here, not scary.

What is, instead, is the lack of a party assuming responsibility. There is no al Qaeda, no Hezbollah. Even our home grown bad guys are quiet. The least you could do is lie and say you did it, someone wants our attention. Our "government" has been dismantled. You all are the quietest bunch of sheep ever.

Easter bonnet is more like it.

What's the word around the office?

If I wanted someone to lie to me I would have found a lawyer or a teenage boy. Thanks.

You forgot to take your spandex off. Dead give away.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I'd love to talk to someone who sees an enclosed explosion happen everyday.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I thought you liked tight clothing.

[razrsharp.livejournal.com]

Stand by for at least 24 hours. No sense keeping the lot of you awake for the downtime.

Considering the nature of this City, I'm sure you could find someone if you looked. You can find people who live in outer space and fairies and talking cats here, after all.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Are we talking relocation?

[glock30.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but...

I think we've gotta agree there's a big difference between me wearing tight clothing and you wearing tight clothing.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

None of those people are stepping up. Did you notice that?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

There's been an explosion and the state of unrests in the City...and now you've developed specifications.

[freakyfanboy.livejournal.com]

Because you aren't looking for people who've lived in outer space, or fairies, or talking cats. Or even people who are used to explosions. You're looking for someone that caused the explosion.

I'm not looking for anyone. I'm making observations, four-eyes. I said no one has stepped up to take responsibility. Everyone else is fine with that. The network isn't bringing out explosion specialists, that's an observation on your part. You're half way to playing the game properly. Try again.

[razrsharp.livejournal.com]

No. Not yet.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I need pills.

[razrsharp.livejournal.com]

Don't. In case you lose your supplier in the next few days.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Maybe you don't understand. I need my pills.

[razrsharp.livejournal.com]

I thought this occurrence barely bothered you.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Remember that time that Christopher lost a key somewhere in your face?

[glock30.livejournal.com]

Well if I don't then who will?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Okay, fine.

You'll get a cookie. I think it would really be impressive though if you developed perception.

[freakyfanboy.livejournal.com]

Four-eyes?! Hmph...I wouldn't say everyone is fine with it, we just don't know where else to look for answers. The ruins didn't reveal much.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

Perception, huh?

[razrsharp.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I'm asking you for something easily obtainable. You asked me to perform open face surgery.
