201. It was the day of the dead, I tried not to lose my head.

Groucho glasses? Really Admiral? Why the hell would you need a pair of those things? They're just glasses with a funny nose and mustache on them. They really can't have any value to fixing the Barge. I'm starting to think he's playing silly buggers with us, and this is just like when you send a husband to boil water when someone was giving birth ( Read more... )

port:its the day of the dead did you hea, warden business, ayra

There's something tremendously ironic about missing out on the last few days of the death toll due to being technically dead. Are you alright?

Private/Text thegooddrjones November 19 2011, 20:39:21 UTC

Hopefully it won't mean we are all death tolling when we get home. I'm fine, just overwhelmed with this place.

You alright?

I'm finding it extremely difficult to believe a green unicycle is going to help us get off the ground again. Other than that, fine.

[Not fine. Going through a bit of an 'oh so THIS is what it was like for Owen' phase.]

I expect he's sending us for things so we don't sit and stew and be worried and angry about this.

[Martha doesn't think you're okay, Tosh. But she's deciding how to go about saying that.]

Do you want some help? Perhaps there's a joke shop about.

Well, that was a misfire on his part. Being sent on a ridiculous errand isn't making me feel better.

I think I'm all right. I've managed to find a black unicycle frame, so I think my next jobs are a wheel and some green paint.

I'm trying very hard not to think about it, honestly.

[...]

Much as I think Mozenrath has all the tact of a Molotov cocktail, I also think he has a point. The Admiral's given no indication that this isn't something he can't put right. In the meantime, we're in the land of the dead and we've been physically adjusted to suit.

I was honestly more worried when we crash-landed on that world the Master took over. At least here we aren't down to fixing a ruined engine with scavenged parts.

I agree. I was more worried during the blackout than I am now.

But I'm worried about what happens after we come back.

Private/Text hopeless_hacker November 21 2011, 01:58:00 UTC

I would have thought the worst case scenario would be widespread Death Toll. Which isn't ideal, but it's certainly better than what we're facing at the moment.

Private/Text thegooddrjones November 21 2011, 16:50:50 UTC

I'm worried about that as well, but I'm also worried about how people are going to react to all of this.

Private/Text hopeless_hacker November 21 2011, 20:00:17 UTC

I don't think it'll be too bad. I hate to say it, but we're already living day to day in an environment that treats death as an inconvenience. This is just another form of that.

Private/Text thegooddrjones November 22 2011, 03:18:40 UTC

You're probably right.

Private/Voice hopeless_hacker November 22 2011, 17:21:19 UTC

...

I'm sorry. I'm being insensitive. I just...I've been much more dead than this, Martha. And I much prefer this afterlife to the other one I've experienced.

Private/Voice thegooddrjones November 22 2011, 18:51:23 UTC

I've never heard you mention it before. The other place.

Private/Voice hopeless_hacker November 22 2011, 18:52:58 UTC

I've been there twice.

There isn't much to say.

Private/Voice thegooddrjones November 22 2011, 20:02:25 UTC

You went back after you left?
