23 - I've Got A Feeling... or Yours, More Like

[thinkb4ublink]

[Slater looks exhausted. He's leaning on his desk and has his hand covering his face.] This better be a short one, Admiral. [Those who are sensitive will feel tired down to the bone, defensive and somewhere between resignation and frustration but not really great examples of either.]

I take it you're having a hard time this flood?

[ She can't sense other's feelings, but she's projecting a sadistic joy of her own. ]

[thinkb4ublink]

[Ah, sadistic joy, my old friend, and how have you been? Slater is very familiar with this emotion, though it's been a while since he's been able to feel it. Nostalgic, really. He makes a noncommittal noise as he's feeling much better with that one. He even smirks a little.] So who are you then?

[nakesnakecobracobra]

I am Medusa. Not of the Greek mythological persuasion, I'm afraid.

[ You guys are all morons she doesn't have snakes in her hair they're supposed to be inside her. >:C ]

[thinkb4ublink]

[Slater could care less.] Shame. Used ta know Loki.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

The Norse God? I'm not surprised someone like him was here.

[thinkb4ublink]

Yeah. Looked like that Charles bloke. Not sure if that's a coincidence or he thought it was funny.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

It being Loki, I would say they are equally likely.

[thinkb4ublink]

Yeah, most probably.

Relax, enjoy the ride. It may be Lewis Caroll's wet dream, but that doesn't mean you have to be such a downer.

[A smirk; have a heaping helping of vicious amusement, prickly curiosity, and an undercurrent of the hungriest you've ever been, all with an edge of a baser nature. It's not exactly human, what you're getting over there, Roy.]

[thinkb4ublink]

[It's like drinking milk that's just about to turn but you just can't fully tell you don't like it. For that reason, it seems like he's considering something before talking.] I'll keep that in mind, mate.

[He reaches forward and disconnects, freeing himself of that particular emotion-set. Yeah, he feels better without the hunger. Human, he realises, after a second, and puts him on the 'avoid' list.]

[19centconstable]

Has it been discovered what's befallen us all this time, Mr. Slater?

[thinkb4ublink]

[Long pause as he parses what he's saying.] What?

[19centconstable]

Do we know what this flood is about?

[thinkb4ublink]

About screwin' my brains out. [Least he's not getting anything from George.]

[19centconstable]

Really? It's...that sort of flood?

[thinkb4ublink]

[Slater just looks at him. Does he look like someone who's doing well?]

[19centconstable]

Er...is that a yes?

[thinkb4ublink]

Just go ask someone else, will ya?

[19centconstable]

Alright. I will do.

Right.

[strangehistorian]

Well, it's true! We have had much worse floods in terms of sheer practical inconvenience.

[thinkb4ublink]

Go. Away.

We both work in the library, Mr. Slater.

Thank you for telling me something I already knew.
