To all of you from post-1776 America, happy Fourth of July. [Thoughtful pause.] Well, I suppose it's the fourth of July for everyone else too... I hope you're all having a nice day ( Read more... )

Happy fourth.

And yeah, I'm seeing things on and off.

...What does it say?

i_speak_softly July 4 2010, 16:37:53 UTC

Hi, Derek. What kinds of things have you been seeing?

Hm... Google bought YouTube, the United Nations is getting a new Secretary-General, and North Korea tested a nuclear weapon.

derek_bliss July 4 2010, 16:43:37 UTC

...Sounds about right.

Mostly stuff from my job. Sometimes the last team I had before I got here. So far, not both at the same time. [Which is a relief.]

i_speak_softly July 4 2010, 16:46:50 UTC

Oh - I'm sorry. Mine aren't like that. [Thank goodness.]

derek_bliss July 4 2010, 16:49:19 UTC

Don't worry about it. At least I know it's not real. [His quiet tone might suggest that if he wasn't seeing it, he'd probably be dreaming about it, anyway.]

So what are you seein'?

i_speak_softly July 4 2010, 16:51:58 UTC

Inert things. Buildings. Subway trains. Hot dog carts. No enemies, no friends. [Trade-offs.]

derek_bliss July 4 2010, 16:55:24 UTC

[Creepy. But at least it's not nightmare fuel...hopefully.}

Any hot dogs in the carts? I hear NYC's got some of the best sidewalk 'dogs you can get.

i_speak_softly July 4 2010, 17:00:42 UTC

I never see the carts, actually. I only smell them. [Smile.] If I ever find the hot dogs, I'll bring you one.

derek_bliss July 4 2010, 17:18:33 UTC

All right. Now that right there? That's torture.

But yeah, if you do, load it down. You only live once, after all.

i_speak_softly July 4 2010, 17:56:33 UTC

Will do, Derek.

... So, you've never been to New York?

derek_bliss July 4 2010, 18:01:00 UTC

Passed through a few times, but never really had a chance to check it out. Usually had someplace else I had to be at the time.

i_speak_softly July 4 2010, 18:05:09 UTC

I know the feeling.

derek_bliss July 4 2010, 18:07:34 UTC

Sucks to be the so-called hero, huh?

[There's both gentle amusement and sympathy in that tone.]

i_speak_softly July 4 2010, 18:11:01 UTC

Actually, at the time I was a wanted fugitive.

derek_bliss July 4 2010, 18:13:29 UTC

...for what?

[Derek can't imagine that, for some reason.]

i_speak_softly July 4 2010, 18:20:50 UTC

We were helping this other person who - well, technically he was government property, which is why he was on the run....

I'm not making any sense, am I?
