009- LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS... You know the rest.

[uberboned]

Hey, Barge. Did you hear? It's been quiet. Too quiet.

I just thought you all should know that, 'cause I'm sure if someone doesn't say it every ten seconds, it'll lose its effect or something.

[Private to Irene]

Congratulations, princess! You've won a free lesson in humility! I'm sure you're wondering what that means. Well, I'm gonna tell you, but first I gotta ask you one simple question.

How do you feel about food service?

Please note that your answer will not actually affect my decision.

Also...it is boring.

If we are going to curse this place, we might as well do it correctly.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Yep. Boring. And while controlled chaos is completely my bag, (A. I like causing it and (B. I can't cause it.

Which equals (C. Hey, didn't Thunderdome happen when we all decided everything was too boring?

No one likes Thunderdome, pal. No one.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Thunderdome?

Most helpful answer EVER.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Thunderdome. Two men enter, one man leaves.

[vampish_aleera]

WOULD YOU PREFER CARNAGE?

BRB LOLING FOREVER

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

NOT REALLY. NO.

^,..,^

[vampish_aleera]

Then cease your worrying.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Not worrying, precious. Just kinda sick of the whining. It's mockery.

I did try to stir things up recently but again people must be avoiding me as not much has happened.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Stirring up how? Fight Club stirring or "HEY, IF I PRESS THIS BUTTON, I WONDER WHAT WILL HAPPEN" stirring?

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I was offering people help or the chance for some interesting pranks but nothing has really seemed to happen. I didn't think my magic was quite that weak here. Something should have happened by now - at least to those who have made requests.

Is secretly going, "GD INMATES. STEALING MY BAG." :|

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Huh. Maybe the Admiral put a total ban on amusing antics while we weren't looking.

see. something did happen.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Did you do this to me?

Why?

[yousethimfree.livejournal.com]

[Ruby sounds tired.]

I haven't noticed.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

What's up, Rubes? Still port-lagged?

[yousethimfree.livejournal.com]

Nope. Just trying not to kill people. Can't do it if I don't feel like lifting my arms.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

I hear murder withdrawal's the worst kind.

[uowemeascream.livejournal.com]

Just fuckin' wait. Two damned X-Freaks on board, an' they'll most likely bring the shit before we're ready. And I'm willin' t'bet my damned cigars more are on the way. They always show up like a damned fuckin' plague.

I'LL TAKE CONDESCENDING DOUCHEBAGS FOR $400, ALEX.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

I don't know what you just said, but you sound very enthusiastic about it, so good on you, pal!

He's too pissed about 2 XMen on board to care! :/

[uowemeascream.livejournal.com]

Kurt Wagner, the fuckin' Nightcrawler, and Bobby "Iceman" Drake. They're here now, bub. Damned fuckin' pansy ass heroes who think they know better than anyone else. More'll show up. They always do.

[a very cruel chuckle] Maybe the Runt'll show up and then we'll have some fun.

EXCEPT WHERE YOU CAN. :| Just not easily. Gabe omits these things.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Awesome. They can duke it out with all the angels on board. It'll be the quickest fight ever, 'cause you can't kill us. Ever.

[always-thewoman.livejournal.com]

Please tell me you're not serious.

And stop calling me princess.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

You would not believe how serious I am. And you should thank me, 'cause that's the nice option. I almost considered janitorial staff!

Okay, muffin.

[always-thewoman.livejournal.com]

The nice option would be to let me work somewhere sane. The library, for example. I know things about books; I know nothing about working in kitchens, and my doing so does no purpose that I can see other than demoralizing me.

Come on, Feathers. I'm sure we can reach some agreement on this.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Okay. Here's the agreement. You work in the kitchens for a month and if you're good, then I'll switch you to the library shift.

You make sandwiches all lunch shift. It's not rocket science.
