(019) Nineteenth Report [>>Audio -> Private video]

Looks like we can rest easy again. Relatively speaking. [There's a slight heaviness to Jill's voice -- fatigue, most likely, that she's been staving off.] I hope everyone made it through all right.

[A pause, and then her tone turns thoughtful.] In these kinds of invasions, I started off thinking we literally had to kill every last thing to clear

Just after Mom dies and he's a kid, or when he's grown up?

[zerosuitjill]

The latter, if we want to avoid being too tragic.

Oh God no...I take it back, I take it all back!

[A snort as she folds up the stained rag, the bleeding having subsided for the most part.] Careful, John, you're coming off soft.

I'm the Goddamn Marshmallow Puft man on the inside. Squishy, fat, loveable...but able to destroy skyscrapers at whim.

[zerosuitjill]

But you still hide from dinosaurs and zombies.

[satangotmylungs]

I'm keeping that til a later date.

Besides, there's no skyscrapers here.

[A (good-natured) eye-roll as she stands]

Point being, however much you like to tempt fate on your own time, throw us a bone and try not to make it a community-wide risk.

[Now let the towel drop and do the sprinkler!!!]

All right, fine, fine, as you wish.

[zerosuitjill]

[So sorry, she knows too well how to tie her towels.]

Thank you.

[Pause as she begins going through her dresser] You made it through okay, then?

[Clearly the exorcist is in need of a fairy godmother.]

Yep. Starting to think I should put a tent and supplies on the roof at this point.

[zerosuitjill]

Might not hurt.

[She returns to her place on the bed, clothes in hand -- and without looking over, she reaches to turn the tablet faced-down while still leaving on the video feed.

Pointedly? Maybe.]

We could probably all do with some kind of panic room, come to think of it. At least for those who need it.

[satangotmylungs]

What, dig a basement under the Underworld?

[Video | Private]

[zerosuitjill]

Maybe not a bomb shelter, but... somewhere well-guarded and out of the way.

Although it'd probably find a way to backfire on us.

[satangotmylungs]

Yeah, like we'd go to get in there and all the invading creatures would be invading through a wormhole there.

[TEMPTING FATE OF SOMETHING NONEXISTENT IS OKAY RIGHT???]
