The City can be a very distressing place to live sometimes. Between the monster attacks and the acts of terrorism and the other unnatural disasters, sometimes I can't help but wonder how we even manage to survive it, or why we even bother to stay.

[She pauses. There's so much more she could say about that, but... Angelica will just sigh and carry on

Guess it's just our home now. It's ours, too.

[microwavemutant]

Yeah, but sometimes I think I'd rather move back to New Jersey.

[notgayformscott]

Something is keeping you here.

[microwavemutant]

More like a someone.

[ What. ]

Papier-mache projects?

permavid

[microwavemutant]

[Sigh.]

I'm pretty sure no one did it.

[ex_julianhe]

Yeah, the Apocalypse kind of got in the way.

[microwavemutant]

Assuming another one doesn't crop up this week, the project is due on Friday.

Hey! Is 'I was stuck in a city full of demonspawn' okay for why my things not done?

[microwavemutant]

Ordinarily I'd say no, but I'm feeling generous today.

[foreverbouncing]

'Cause I tried to do it but I keep getting sidetracked and then Dick made me leave and I left it at the apartment and looking at it now it kind of looks like a duck that got run over.

So it sorta totally sucks.

[microwavemutant]

If I give you until Friday, can you get something done?

[voice]

[notadartboard]

It's all right to wonder about that, Ms Angelica. I admit I almost didn't want to come back from the Caribbean. But habit is a hard thing to fight against.

[voice]

[microwavemutant]

It's true. Or maybe we're all just gluttons for punishment. I mean, you'd think that if one place in the world kept getting attacked, everyone would pack up and move somewhere else.

[voice]

[notadartboard]

You know, I did sort of wonder about that. I think it was after the zombie plague thing. But no, sometimes people are more intent on preserving their homeland than finding a safer place to live.

[voice]

[microwavemutant]

There's a stubborn streak in each of us. I guess I can't say I'd abandon my house completely, if it came down to it. It's just so cute.

I'm not sure "survival" is the word I'd use right now, but I guess "live through" isn't any better.

It's not like we have a choice, though, is it?

voice;

[microwavemutant]

The only other choice is to not live through it, and I've been close enough to that for one lifetime, thank you very much.

voice; ignore him 'star he's just being moody

[incywincyhero]

... Seems like not everyone has that choice, though, do they?

voice; bawww

[microwavemutant]

Sometimes the choice is taken from us, yes. But even then, you have the choice to give up or die fighting.
