The One With One Head [Video]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

[Scrad is looking angry. And alone. No backpack. No Charlie. He shakes slightly as he speaks.]

I want. The rest of my body back. Right. Now.

If I don't get it, I'm gonna...

[Scrad's eyes dart to the side, and his mouth opens and closes soundlessly, before he just cuts the the feed. Charlie would know what they were gonna do, but he has no idea.]

Comments

[umgekehrt]

Good man. Admittedly it's easier aboard. Floods, no. The military yes.

[timesbureaucrat]

I'd like to think that if I were a power mad tyrant I'd be a little more original.

[notafuckingnut]

Gonna....?

[Poke. Poke. Because clearly it's a wonderful idea to annoy the angry guy.]

You don't know the half of it. I almost punted one of the chickens earlier. Me. What the fuck. It's like every PMS I ever was supposed to have all saved up and hit me at once.

Anyway, you might be used to people with shite attitudes, but that doesn't mean you should have to put up with it.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Yeah, there's stuff that Charlie usually deals with feeling, but I'm stuck with it all right now.

Why...doesn't it?

[twoheadsofcabbage]

You could do that too. It's not so much a time to experiment. Because there's, you know, always another power mad tyrant behind you.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

We've...I've...nothing is worth fighting for.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Do. Something.

[He's really more frustrated than angry. And scared. So yes, of course it's the perfect time to annoy him.]

[notafuckingnut]

Yeah, I got that.

Something like what?

Try lifting something with your mind.

Well, everyone has to deal with a certain level of ambient bullshit. People aren't perfect, especially around here. But everybody has the right to decide where their limit is and how much they're willing to bloody take. When I was much more addled than I am now, I learned to tolerate odd looks, but neither me nor my clanmates would put up with nasty comments. Like that.

[umgekehrt]

A paycheck and a berth were plenty for me.

[That is not exactly what House meant by 'me time' but he certainly doesn't think it's necessarily a bad idea.]

I mean do something you want to do. Something you like to do. Something you might not be able to do if the little dude was around.

Re: [private]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

I guess I just would. Put up with that.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

There are way easier ways to get those, man.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

How should I know?

Re: [Video]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

[Scrad wrinkles his nose.]

Lifting...

[twoheadsofcabbage]

[Scrad just stares because what does he even like to do?]

It's too quiet to watch TV even.

[umgekehrt]

The upshot to all of this is 'no to the gym', then?

[huge_egomd]

I suppose you could go someplace noisy...or you could learn to embrace the silence.

[Embrace the silence...yeah, even he doesn't know what that means. It just sounded good.]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Not so much my style.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Embrace it? It's terrifying.

[umgekehrt]

Are you going to be all right through the rest of the flood? It might be a rough few days.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

No, I'm not. As long as I'm stuck like this, I'm not going to be alright.

[huge_egomd]

Sure, it's a little scary but only because you're not used to it. You just need to look at the positives...like being able to take a dump in private.
