[Well, it could definitely be a lot worse.]

[At first, upon seeing the giant ants, crabs, and praying mantises popping up everwhere, Balin tries to defend Goldberg Street the best he can; he's not the type to take chances, especially with how unpredictably dangerous Mayfield's " ( Read more... )

Usually 'round every holiday, or failin' that, 'bout every 6 weeks or so, I'd guess.

'SUP TECHNOCHOCOLATE walking_nuke October 29 2011, 03:20:40 UTC

Huh. So wait, they give'a town a break durin'a holiday season?

B) techno_mancer October 29 2011, 03:49:20 UTC

As nice as that'd be, not a chance. Last year was, let's see... personality-changin' candy around Halloween, crazy turkeys on Thanksgivin', then screwed-up gifts on Christmas.

walking_nuke October 29 2011, 03:54:33 UTC

Oh. [And the unspoken word that comes with that: "Damn."]

The candy doesn't sound all'at bad, but uh-lemme guess, with all'a Fifties B-movie sendups they're doin'is year, them turkeys musta been some kinda recreation of'at Alfred Hitchcock movie, yeah? "The Birds?"

techno_mancer October 29 2011, 04:05:29 UTC

Comparatively? The candy was a breeze. The turkeys were fill with poison, or razors, some of 'em came to life and went crazy. Fully cooked turkeys.

walking_nuke October 29 2011, 04:10:18 UTC

[A short pause.]

... Fuck, just like'a milk, then?

[Only the milk didn't come to life and go crazy. Thankfully.]

techno_mancer October 29 2011, 20:38:00 UTC

Yeah. I mean, I don't think too many people were dumb enough to eat turkeys the Milkman dropped off, 'n' no one was forced into it like the milk, at least.

walking_nuke October 29 2011, 21:05:36 UTC

So it was his doin'. He sure does love his Russian Roulettes, don't he?

[Sounds a bit disgusted.]

Was it'a same on Christmas, too? With'a presents?

techno_mancer October 30 2011, 16:35:45 UTC

There were all these letter boxes for people to drop off wishlists for Christmas. Ya did it even if ya didn't want to. The Postman was actin' like Santa, and gave everybody twisted versions of what they wanted. They went away after a couple 'a days, at least.

walking_nuke October 31 2011, 03:11:33 UTC

Wait, what-lemme get'is straight.

The Postman did somethin'a compel people into lettin'em know what'ey were wishin' for, like'at truth gas bullshit? Everyone in town wound up doin' it?

techno_mancer October 31 2011, 15:01:19 UTC

Maybe not everyone, but a whole lotta us.

walking_nuke October 31 2011, 22:55:36 UTC

Shit, that's still bad news ... Was it like gettin' droned? Or was it like'a truth gas thing?

techno_mancer November 1 2011, 13:49:07 UTC

I guess more like the latter. Ya just wanted to do it.

walking_nuke November 1 2011, 21:56:48 UTC

So just compulsion then. Like tryin'a break a bad habit.

Not like'at's much better ... I couldn't keep my mouth shut durin'at "anti-commie" crap.

techno_mancer November 3 2011, 03:35:42 UTC

It's hard to not do stuff Mayfield damn well wants ya to.

walking_nuke November 3 2011, 04:15:33 UTC

No kidding.

Which makes me wonder, why're'ey goin' through all'a trouble? They can drone us, an' I've seen how fune-tuned'at dronin' can be.

[Quinn can't see it over the phone, but he's grimacing a little, recalling what happened when the Milkman took over as Chief of Police.]
