GLoG 37: Dysfunction Junction

[Kaelaroth]

Charity is offered a slice of either finely made savoury steak and kidney pie, or slightly less well-made but sugar-enriched sweet and pretending-to-be-scrumptious strawberry and apple pie!

((Well, Brendan is an alternate-reality son of an alternate BR...

But he's not that kind of guy. Seriously.

It's nice to meet you too, Libra.
Brendan eyes the pie dubiously, and decides not to partake.

[Kaelaroth]

You are... you are dubious؟ About my PIE؟
The drone glares؟ And hypothetically floats away.

[Beans]

Libra decides not to partake as well, because... well... she's undead, and very rarely eats.

[Kaelaroth]

The drone possibly glares at her, and floatily gloats about it never needing to be alive in the first place.
Silently.

[happyturtle]

Charity takes the strawberry pie. And Sunny the steak and kidney. Yum!

"So why would either of you come to a place like this voluntarily? I mean... it's pretty dangerous."

((How obvious is Libra's state of undeadness?))

[Reinholdt]

Mean Drone 2, lacking all the weaponry, goals, and indeed even memories of the original, floats by.

Expression of Distaste: The chef never did get that dead rat smell out of the pie pan.

It continues on its way.

[Kaelaroth]

The pie-drone, once graciously having given its pie, silently pursues Mean Drone.2.

[The Bushranger]

Everybody knows pie is irrational.


Well, I came from a place that was nearly as crazy. Brendan shrugs. And real estate around here is cheap. So I figured I'd open up shop in Inside, then I heard about this place and decided to drop by.

[Beans]

((It is pretty obvious, but not wholly repugnant. Her skin is corpse-grey, she has a few stitchy scars, and she smells faintly of preservatives. She's a corpse, but a fresh corpse.))
I wanted to prove that undead people can be good.

Statement: We've all seen Twilight, you may begone, then.
Pie-drone says. You should've taken its fricking pie.

[happyturtle]

Charity turns pale. "Excuse me."

She calmly goes to the kitchen and throws her pie in the trash, and then begins swishing mouthfuls of tap water and spitting them out.

And somewhere during this procedure, what Libra says begins to register.

"Un... dead?"

I'm going to blame her not picking up on it before on bad lighting.

[Reinholdt]

Mean Drone 2 whistles innocently and heads away from the main group, ignoring Pie Drone.

[Kaelaroth]

Pie Drone glares at Charity.
Glaaaare.

[Beans]

Yes, I'm undead. If you're a cleric, please don't do that Turn Undead thing. I hate that. She sighs.

[The Bushranger]

Brendan leans back on the sofa, eyebrows raised.
My dad told me stories about this one lich. Good guy, if a little fishy. He shrugs. Only non-bad undead I've even heard of before. But don't worry, not a cleric here.

[happyturtle]

"So you're... not alive? But you can still move and talk? How...?"

Sunny doesn't understand what the issue is. But with her memories being no more than two months old, she doesn't have enough expectations of what the world should be to be easily surprised.

[Beans]

It's a a bunch of magic and rituals that I don't really understand. All I know is, I have no pulse, no heartbeat, I don't feel pain from normal stuff. I don't have to eat, except when I need the energy to regrow stuff. And sometimes my eyeball falls out.
It does fall out, but she catches it before it hits the ground.
... Like that.

[The Bushranger]

Actually, it's fairly common - in the old days where I come from, seems like the current days here....

...

...

...and, eew.

[happyturtle]

Charity closes her eyes. "This isn't real it's only a dream my sister is back at MIT there's no such thing as undead or world ending cats or cyborgs or anti-sapience potions..."

Sunny pipes up. "You need safety goggles. I have some in my lab."

[Kaelaroth]

Pie-Drone glares at Charity.
Statement: You can make illusions.
Query: Why is other Nexus-activity odd?

[Beans]

Uh... did I just break somebody's mind?
And thanks, Sunny, that'd probably help.
((Deadtime, I think, for les dinners.))

[The Bushranger]

Trust me, I thought it was odd when I first found out I had special abilities. Brendan shrugs. But you get used to it...

And a deadtime ooze goes splat on his head for dinner now, too.

[happyturtle]

Charity either doesn't hear or chooses to ignore the drone.

And Sunny goes to her lab to get a pair of safety goggles.

[Beans]

Libra looks concernedly at Charity.
Hey, are you gonna be alright?

[Quinsar]

And Sam is behind Mint, holding the barrel of her Glock to the devil's head. Hullo. Hands up, please, and no sudden movements.

Back now.
Sorry.
S-Sam>?
what is this?!

[FireFox]

The older Tobias knocks on the door.


Come on Mint. How do I know you're not the evil one?

[SeptAngel]

Sept is running up behind him. Got a problem...

[Quinsar]

I'll prove it!...
Somehow...

[Reinholdt]

Butler to the....
Wait. There's a distinct lack of Butler attempting to get to the door before the drones do.

Mean Drone 2 answers though.
Dismissive Grumbling: I was busy ya know?
Inquiry: What do you want? Make it snappy.
