I remember when I was a kid, we didn't celebrate Easter much. I guess that makes sense. It's not really a celebratory kind of holiday. My mom would always be somber and tell us that we should be the same. Sometimes I was jealous because some of the other kids got to go hang out on the beach all week, but whatever. I can see her point now that I'm

Oh, look, a Julio occurring naturally in the wild. Dear Julio, I'm writing to tell you that I'd rather be unprepared. At least when you're free you're still free, metaphorical or not. And anyway, you can never be prepared for all the really important things.

Love,
Claire Bennet

In other news, what the eff, seriously? What?

We're not very rare. We're like Nidorans. The male ones.

All the really important things being stuff like catching a photo of George W. Bush tripping on your Razr, am I right.

I don't know if I can talk to you about Stark and our problems from home.

[adamantined]

I had to Google Nidoran. I'm taking Pokemon Sapphire away from you for a while.

That's... one of them, probably. I'd never be prepared for that.

You didn't answer my question.

[alittlecredit]

But my pokeymans.

Which question?

[adamantined]

Claire uses confuse on Julio. Confuse is successful!

You're all... swear-y. What's with the swearing in question form?

[alittlecredit]

Rictor is confused! Rictor hurts himself!

It's just politics. And holidays. And people coming and going. And other stuff, but mostly? Politics. They make me twitch.

Claire gives Julio a potion.

I hate politics. It's all a bunch of filthy lies.

[alittlecredit]

I don't think pokemon have potions, Claire. That's more for Final Fantasy. But I wouldn't mind a blue raspberry slushie right now.

It's worse than a bunch of filthy lies. I'm used to a bunch of filthy lies. Politics is a bunch of filthy rationalization. I don't like being rationalized.

I mixed up my games, okay. You can't blame me for that. Same basic principle. Travel to new places, collect interesting specimens, get defeated by bosses. And I can't do any of that, but I can supply blue raspberry slushies. If the store is still open.

90% of the things that politicians do can't be rationalized. They're completely irrational. And wrong. So I can see why that'd be frustrating. Thinking about their rationalization makes me feel like I need to take a shower.

I'm feeling nostalgic. Want to go get some at a mini-mart and split a bag of Andy Capp's Hot Fries?

I'm sorry I picked at a scab or something here. I'm just kind of cranky at Stark. And life.

[adamantined]

I think you're trying to give me a heart attack and I support it. Yeah, that'd be fun.

Don't worry about picking, though. I think everyone here is cranky at life. I don't know about Stark, but I can build you a dart board with his face on it if it'll make you feel better.

And Hostess Snowballs. It's Easter. That means they have the pink and purple ones out.

That would do in a pinch, actually.

[adamantined]

It's the least I can do. Other than splurging on pink and purple Snowballs. And Peeps.

Candy is supposed to be the universal cheer-me-up medicine anyway.

[alittlecredit]

Unless you're allergic to sugar.

[adamantined]

That's just...

Not right.

But you aren't allergic to sugar. So we're people who don't need to get concerned about these things and that statement can still apply.
