Attention, residents of desperatefans. This is Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz. Your community has been slated for destruction, in order to build a cyberspace bypass. Unfortunate... for you, at least.. I know, but.. you're standing in the way of progress

....*ellipses and turns very, very grey*

Now see here, sir. Mr. ... Jeltz. Whatever and whoever you are. This is absolute nonsense! *flail*

[jeltzthepoet]

... When will you people realize that resistance is futile?

[hessonotback]

If you'll excuse me, I'd rather be futile than dead. Now, we've got some very powerful individuals here. *weak glare* You won't be allowed to carry on like this.

[jeltzthepoet]

*laughs unpleasantly*

Oh, you're amusing.

[thanitohercules]

*arches an eyebrow* Vile beast! Thou hast no power over me here; be gone, I say, and leave this world to its peace. Dost thou think it progress to bring the children of of our Lord to their destruction? 'Tis nothing of the sort, and mankind alone, through its own faults, might do so. *draws his sword* Face me like a man, then, with the birthright of all men behind me. I will avenge.

Typist: ... *facepalm*

[jeltzthepoet]

*blinks* What are you?

[thanitohercules]

*draws self to full height* I am Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, man as sure as man knows suffering, and as of this moment, thy adversary.

*looks about as thoughtful as a Vogon is capable of looking, and then smiles unpleasantly*

D'you like poetry?

[finweson]

*lips curl* No.

[jeltzthepoet]

*harrumphs* As I said, the paperwork's been on file with the proper authorities for some time. You've had more than enough opportunity to file your complains already.

[finweson]

Ah, but have the necessary notifications to the plans in progress been made public? I don't think so. I have seen none of the necessary documents.
*can be a bureaucratic asshole if he means to, yo*

[jeltzthepoet]

They've been on display for six months for public perusal!

[admiral_grumpy]

I'm not particularly worried. With the usual efficiency of bureaucratic governments, you'll either never get around to the project or will end up leaving it half-done.

[jeltzthepoet]

.... No, we're most efficient. The orders have already been given the go-ahead.

[admiral_grumpy]

Words that have been uttered by functionaries since the beginning of recorded history. Until the contractors flake out on you.

[whereforebase]

*darkly* It is done, then. This life, so short, so marred, so subject to the indecent and unfathomable hardships of the world that hath fathered us, comes to an end, along with that whole.

I cannot begin to feign surprise.

[jeltzthepoet]

.... Er, yes.

[whereforebase]

*little morbid smirk* And we all prove equal in the end.
