20th Resurrection - Bad Fad

[sanctusdei]

[Theo's been seeing injured people throughout the neighborhood, and listening to phone calls of people yelling and crying about getting hurt as a result of this whole sudden boxtop craze. He can't help but be a giant jackass towards all of you, like usual.]

You

people

are

idiots!

Did you honestly think nothing would happen? That it would be

I was smart enough to not do it!

[sanctusdei]

I'd sure as hell hope so. Anyone who's been here for more than 2 days has no excuse for falling for this.

[lasersallover]

So you do have faith in me. I was starting to wonder!

[sanctusdei]

.....

It's clear you'er pretty much out of your mind, but that doesn't mean you can't learn things.

[fearthefool]

Do they hack of a limb, or is there a chance of a bad bruising? Can I ask them to break a rib instead of taking a leg?

[sanctusdei]

Looked like most people were missing digits and limbs. Somehow I doubt you get to ask, but I'm sure you can head to the post office and find out for yourself.

Are you owed something some valuable you'd trade your limbs for it?

[fearthefool]

No, but I'll take a heavy bruising for them.

My limbs are my livelihood. If Clopin can't tumble, he's doomed to starve.

[sanctusdei]

Maybe you can head out the post office to inquire about that "small processing fee". Maybe you can bargain?

"Tumble"? You... an acrobat or something?

[ponypuncher]

And I will! I got my poor fingers back to the way they're supposed to be!

[sanctusdei]

You... want to have missing fingers?

[ponypuncher]

I was fine with them gone! They were just fine!

[sanctusdei]

Well then. I guess you won in this deal. Did you get something good in return at least?

[tsundorapettan]

Aw, c'mon. So some people made a mistake, ya don't have to be a jerk about it.

[sanctusdei]

"Mistake"? People here have been kidnapped by an unseen force, and are brainwashed and tortured regularly. And yet they STILL play right into Mayfield's hands. It's just plain stupid.

[tsundorapettan]

They knew they were takin' a risk, y'know! Some of 'em just didn't care and some decided that it's 'worth it. Or they were just bein' optimistic. [ pause ] And dumb. There's a hell lotta people here, so there's gotta be a few dumb people among 'em. Point is, don't be so judgmental!

[sanctusdei]

But they're the ones who clog up the phones whining about losing body parts when they could have just simply not trusted Mayfield.

I'm sure some thought it was worth the risk, but probably not most of them. It's just as you said - people are dumb.

[resurrectinto]

You laughing at people really isn't any better than those bitching that they lost something, I'm just saying. Grow up.

[sanctusdei]

Who said I was trying to help.

[resurrectinto]

I sure as fuck didn't, but it'd be nice.

[sanctusdei]

Like anyone in this town would actually listen to me even if I was trying to be helpful. They'd go do it anyway.
