Hopefully not prophetic.

I just had this really weird nightmare...there was some kind of disaster happening at school, and they were evacuating us all in black helicopters. Nobody had any time to pack anything--they were just dragging everyone off the lawn and shoving them into the helicopters.

Yeah, that's amazing, Kreskin. Do you possibly have a scented candle I can buy to take off this crossed condition, or will I have to find another medicine man to help me?

This sort of posturing is not wise for a guy whose name already rhymes with 'flake'.

[burning_blake]

Huh?

[juvvie]

Someone on campus has loose lips, clearly. This sort of taunting is just mean, and pretty uncalled for.

[burning_blake]

What, have you and Charlotte and Bakunin been hanging out of helicopters?

[juvvie]

Jesus Christ.

Call me paranoid, but the "IT WAS A DREAMY ASTRAL COINCIDENCE!" bullshit sounds much less plausible than the idea that someone told you and you thought it would be hi-larious to rag on the three of us for absolutely no reason. Bird imagery and making fun of Charlotte's fashion sense was an excellent touch (what the fuck, dude).

But hey, it worked beautifully, you're doing an excellent job of staying in character, so congratulations. Blake 1, Aquino 0.

I'd be debasing myself by participating in this any further, so we can just get on with staying out of each other's way from now on, capisce?

Ok, I can't pretend the dream wasn't kind of funny because of its extreme ridiculousness--while I was having it I felt like I was watching some kind of parody of an action-adventure movie. And I can't pretend that you and she don't rub me the wrong way sometimes, just as I do you. But I have nothing against Bakunin, and I really don't remember hearing or even seeing anything about any kind of connection between the three of you. I mean, I even wondered if it was some kind of displaced, distorted thing about Emily, Neddy, and me.

Maybe you all were sending off subtle signals that I picked up on unconsciously? I don't know. If you want me to stay away from you, fine. But I wasn't doing what you think I was doing. If I'd known there was anything actually realistic about it, I wouldn't have posted it.

[juvvie]

I'm not sure how we could be giving off subtle signals when you've never even observed us in the same room together, but fine. I've cooled off a bit, so I'll take you at your word.

Irrational dislikes are usually nature's way of saying do not touch, in my experience.

He may appear that way often sometimes, but he's proved he's able to think clearly and act decisively in situations you couldn't even imagine.

[juvvie]

What does that have to do with anything? Right, I'm very impressed with his keen ear for gossip and his ability to decisively take a dump on people he barely knows. Someone give him the Victoria Cross.

[neddy_l]

Gossip about what? We haven't been around Eupheme for some time, so I can't imagine he could have picked up any. And gosh...I reckon he WOULD have gotten a VC for the Daleks, or the Brac, or...but TAS don't do that sort of thing.
