itp questions you shouldn't answer

[thispersnickety]

[if you go down to the lake today, there is a girl sitting in a deckchair at just-inaccessible-for-Marcy distance, with a large camera poised in her hands. And if you pass her, she will accost you.]

Hey, excuse me! How good are you at running?

Huh? Running? I guess I'm all right. Why?

[thispersnickety]

So if I were to say to you that if you could get the supposed monster in the lake to wake up and wave at me, I would give you the contents of my pocket, do you think you'd go for it? Just out of interest.

[renovateyourass]

What the-- You serious?

[thispersnickety]

Not really, I just wanted to see what you'd say. Unless you actually want to, where you can go ahead, because I've been waiting to get a shot of this thing for a while and it's getting kinda cold out here.

[gunsmoking]

Kind of an expert, actually.

[thispersnickety]

Hmm. Is that so? Actually, forget that, here's a better question. There is actually a monster in this lake, right?

[gunsmoking]

You must be new.

[thispersnickety]

Duh.

New, yes. But I think I'm catching up pretty fast. But, you see, I don't like to just take things as read, you know? I'm not going to believe there's a monster in there until I actually see it. And it's been a millpond the whole time I've been here.

[lushness]

Not at all.

[thispersnickety]

Okay! Different question. This really isn't some form of mass hallucination, right?

[lushness]

Sadly, it's not.

Why are you asking that now?

[thispersnickety]

I'm just ... still in the midst of culture shock, I guess. That, and climate shock. Comparatively California is kinda warm.

[climaxinside]

Eeehh?

[thispersnickety]

Shall I take that as a no?

[climaxinside]

Ummm....Suppose that I can, but....

[thispersnickety]

... excuse me if I'm wrong, but you look like the kind of guy who might trip in a crisis.

[thispersnickety]

Always good to know. Next question, is there any way of waking up the apparent monster without someone running around down there?

[thispersnickety]

Well, if that works it's probably safer. Just need to find something to throw.
