(english)

[a prolonged period of fumbling, a few erratic clicks and then a muffled thump, scratchy static]

--ll right, FUCK THIS WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK JUST HAPPENED?! [his voice is hoarse from disuse but the sheer venom in it is clear once he stops shouting] Hey, scientists? Yeah, you. Motherfuckers. Bad move. You just made this personal

It's not worth all this. But god damn.. that was..

I almost ripped mine out during this shit.

voice. (english)

[leatherrr]

What's not?

Fucking HELL I'll rip this shit out if I have to!

Re: voice. (english)

[prodigal_axe]

At least you kept to yourself, right? Saved yourself the goddamn embarrassment I'm stuck with over here.

I was going to. Got convinced not to.. it wasn't hard, in that state of mind.

[leatherrr]

[sounding a bit more bemused] What, d'you spill your dirty secrets all over the network or something?

Not hard to go doing it or not hard to get convinced not to?

Re: voice. (english)

[prodigal_axe]

Tch. Not like that. But I said more than I wanted, sure.

Neither was hard. It's strange. People just put the tools right in my hands. Offered to help me.. but I guess others didn't want that.

I didn't have much conviction either way.

[leatherrr]

Heh. Lucky me. [extremely flatly]

Nothing like a city full of damned puppets to play around with, right?

Re: voice. (english)

[prodigal_axe]

Come off it. Their stupid games aren't worth you getting so upset, and pissed off. If that's even what happened.

I'm not so sure.

Pretty boring puppets I'd say.

voice. (english, unhackable)

[leatherrr]

It's not-- [stops short, takes a breath, audibly trying to calm himself] Shit. They can go rot in hell. [sudden laughter, which subsides pretty fast]

You don't know that. This is the first time this specific bug's happened, isn't it?

Re: voice. (english, unhackable)

[prodigal_axe]

That's better. Hm. You want to get into the bottle with me? I've got a couple people over at the bar, doing that.

No. Yeah--uh. Something just like that happened, but reversed.

[leatherrr]

Not today, I think. Maybe later. Too much shit to do.

... And lemme guess, scientists didn't publicly lift a finger the entire time that time, either.

Re: voice. (english, unhackable)

[prodigal_axe]

I'm not doing shit today. It's a bad time. We've got all this 'mob energy.' So, if people need to eat something or have a drink, I'll be around here.

Unless something important happens.

No. But I got the feeling that.. hm. What do you think the sky had to do with any of this?

voice. (english, unhackable)

[leatherrr]

[sardonically] Mobs are a good place if you know how to keep from getting trampled.

... The sky? [blanking for a moment] Oh. Shit, I don't--

[pause, and then a laugh] Too much shit to do.

Re: voice. (english, unhackable)

[prodigal_axe]

Mobs are a stupid place. No matter how you slice it.

Er. Don't worry. But it sounds like you need a drink, or non-psychotic company. So get some, whether it's from me or not.

Heh. Usually I'm like that. Today isn't my day.

voice. (english, unhackable)

[leatherrr]

Stupid and good aren't always mutually exclusive.

Oh, I plan to, once this blows over. For some reason I get the feeling it will way too soon.

Happy drinking, I guess.
