[What is this? Nikola honestly, he was hoping you would be...slightly less, yourself. YOUR GIRLFRIEND GOT BEAT UP!

But a sigh then he writes in the filter and talks. Better to be private then not.]

Honestly Nikola if you are seeking to not be bored, perhaps being less, insulting will get you further.

[NOT TOUCHING ON OTHER ISSUES! Though he's sounding bored himself.]

James Watson thisisprogress November 27 2011, 21:52:24 UTC

Really? What should I do, then? Act like they're equals when I know they're not? They haven't shown themselves to be particularly bright lately.

How's the broken leg treating you?

Nikola Tesla jamesholmes November 27 2011, 21:57:49 UTC

No they have not [He had been asleep during the breakout don't judge :/] however, because your, lady acquaintance found herself trapped and attacked does not mean you need to take it on the population at large.

And, I have found myself incredibly bored thank you for your concern. [AND STILL refusing other treatment besides a cast yup.]

James Watson thisisprogress November 27 2011, 22:03:35 UTC

I'm not taking it out on the population. I'm simply venting my frustrations on the total lack of action here in a way that will hopefully draw my mind off the topic.

[Doesn't even remark on the lady acquaintance part THAT IS TOTALLY NOT TRUE >:I]

Really? No mysteries to go solve or places to explore, I'm guessing?

I'd heard you were in jail. Need some tips on how to break out? I do it all the time.

Though I suppose hallucinogenic lipstick wouldn't be quite your thing.

River Song thisisprogress November 27 2011, 21:53:56 UTC

Nah, though I wish in the depths of my heart that I could simply walk my way out of there, I'm not keen on being submitted to a worse punishment, thank you.

Wait, what, hallucinogenic lipstick?

Nikola Tesla hullo_sweetie November 27 2011, 22:02:36 UTC

That's very sensible of you, Nikola.

[She's highly amused by his reaction to the lipstick]

It's exactly what it seems like. Lipstick that promotes hallucinations to whoever the wearer kisses. It's an easy way to take out the guards and steal their keys.

[She knows way too much about breaking out of jails, apparently]

River Song thisisprogress November 27 2011, 22:06:07 UTC

...That is somehow brilliant and slightly ridiculous at the same time. I'm guessing it has had a high success rate?

Well that was a pretty spot on description.

...I can relate with the boredom part.

dictated thisisprogress November 27 2011, 22:01:14 UTC

Can you? What have you been doing to sate your boredom, then?

foolreversed November 28 2011, 00:09:55 UTC

It's like a constant state of mind for me.

Anything I can really. Not like much has been working though. Games usually work but...

thisisprogress November 28 2011, 00:32:38 UTC

Yes, boredom is one of the hardest things to conquer. It doesn't help that one would do anything to get rid of it.

Nikola mal_addict November 27 2011, 21:57:35 UTC

Still really annoyed. I might head out, see if I can find where Joshua's gone, seen as the rest of the Patrol just want to sit around and talk about things.

Maladict thisisprogress November 27 2011, 22:00:35 UTC

Don't go alone. Who knows if Nancy has a few allies up her sleeves or not?

[A laugh.] Isn't that the best strategy you've ever heard? Even I think it's idiotic to just sit around and I'm not even part of that group.

Nikola mal_addict November 27 2011, 22:09:35 UTC

I guess I could ask Brock if he wants to come. [Not bringing up your manargument yet. YET]

I'm honestly starting to wonder if there's any point to being part of it any more. I joined to make a difference in this place, doesn't seem like we're doing anything of the sort. Just making more problems than we solve.

Maladict thisisprogress November 27 2011, 22:31:34 UTC

What? Him?! What do you need to bring him along for? He'd slow you down.

[GRUMBLE GRUMBLE DARN THAT BROCK SAMSON]

That's always the side effect of groups that wish to fix problems that are present in the world. The more you fix things, the more likely that new problems will arise because of it. There's nothing you can do about it.

Well. someone's not in the holiday spirit. [Cole's heavily sarcastic voice filters through the pages]

And I wouldn't say that this place is completely boring. I did see a pink pony bouncing on a trampoline a few days ago. And that's weird even for me.

Dictated/Cole Turner thisisprogress November 27 2011, 22:33:34 UTC

Bah, humbug, and all that stuff. It's not even the holidays yet.

Eh, that sounds strange, but you live in this place for more than a year and pink ponies suddenly become incredibly mundane.

Dictated/Nikola Tesla demontobeloved November 27 2011, 22:35:52 UTC

I'm fairly certain that scenes like that will never become less weird for me.

[A pause] So, yeah. I'm one of the latest victims of this place. I'd prefer that you get to know me a bit better before you insult me, though. You know, take me out to dinner and such.

Dictated/Cole Turner thisisprogress November 27 2011, 22:38:04 UTC

Well, that's you. And I'm not you. So that settles it.

[A laugh.] Oh, I wish I could, but considering my current situation I don't think I'm quite at liberty to be taking anyone to dinner. Such a shame. Now I'll never know if you can actually pair your wines correctly with your meats.
