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.

I'm dealing with technology that isn't in my world--assuming it is a form of technology, and not magic. There's not much else I can do, except to say "If a story spinner did this, I'd like to see the story."

Rain check.

If you're fond of stories maybe you'd like a little something called symbolism.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I don't think I like it that much. Thanks anyway.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

Ass.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Tits.

Some of them say we don't have much time left to close our doors.

[freakyfanboy.livejournal.com]

Symbolism? What about it?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Paranoia is all we have to go on.

...I need more vicodin.

Dick.

A crumbling building doesn't have any symbolic meaning to you? Give me something to work with, kid. You're batting zero.

After you get it will you come down with us?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

If it's a crawl space, I'm not going.

[starting to wonder exactly what he's looking for, but playing along because it's interesting and makes him feel like he's at least doing something to figure it out] Alright...well, the end of the deities' reign. The end of an era. um...end of government, anarchy.

It's a warehouse with a basement level.

This would have been a lot more fun if I was fifteen.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see it for myself.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

We can't all be young and beautiful.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

You still have your personality.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Was that so hard?

[freakyfanboy.livejournal.com]

No, but I don't really see what the point is.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I don't know much but I know more than you and I'm right.

[glock30.livejournal.com]

I was talking about you, actually.

Invest in a mirror.

[freakyfanboy.livejournal.com]

Right about what? I haven't heard you make a point beyond the occasional snarky remark.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Then you haven't been listening. You admitted I made a good point when I said that if the deities were remodeling they would have told us to pipe down. I don't feel like recapping everything you didn't choose to acknowledge.
