Issue #6: The Milk Flu

[boostedfailure]

[This was the second day he had drank the milk, while he had heard it was doing horrible things it just made Booster feel well...  Like the floor of a taxi cab yesterday, and today seemed to be much the same.  That being said there was danger on the streets and his recent regain of his super suit back meant he felt he probably should do something

[Wes comes across Booster in the aftermath of a telephone pole incident. He is reminded for all the world of Hobbie.]

You need help getting to Medical?

[Booster Stands up dusts himself off and shakes his head]

"Spent most of the day there... From the damn milk.. Makes me feel like hell but, there are other people in the house so I gotta drink it."

[kettchmeifucan]

I feel you. Civil disobedience isn't exactly the best solution to this brand of troublesome law.

"Normally I'd say flatten the guy responsible but... He's some kind of monster, and I'm still missing half my gear. I suck against monsters full strength like this... I'll just be miserable for a few days I guess."

"Town usually gets bored with tormenting us after a week or two. Sometimes three. Don't THINK its ever gone past 4.. Ugh."

[kettchmeifucan]

Most of what I know are guerilla tactics and I haven't seen a way to pull it off here. Need a legion of Ewoks to take on this degree of power imbalance.

"You don't mess with the Yubyub song. It showed Darth Vader the power of love... Or something..."

[He shrugs and shakes his head]

[Wes pauses. Blinks. Pauses again.]

Wait... you know what I'm talking about?

[Kinda. Apparently.]

[boostedfailure]

"Yeah... Ted showed it to me once... It was more his deal than mine though. Why?"

[kettchmeifucan]

Showed it to you? The documentary holos or the ridiculous innacurate ones? No one else has even heard of anything from home!

[boostedfailure]

"The ones with that Leia chick in the desert in that awesome bikini! I dunno I think they redid parts of them. I dunno..."

[kettchmeifucan]

[Vaguely uncomfortable]

Well, Han was always complaining that he was blind for that. Don't know the details, but it wouldn't surprise me if some of the holos exaggerate that bit.

[boostedfailure]

[He shrugs]

"I dunno, I really don't remember much about it... But there were those death teddy bears and that Darth Vadar guy."

[kettchmeifucan]

You... don't remember the war?

[boostedfailure]

"I'm a time traveler..."

[kettchmeifucan]

Really? That sounds like something out of one of those futurevids.

[boostedfailure]

"Trust me on this. It was either that or be a night janitor, figured there would be more women in super heroing... So you know.. There aren't."
