I... don't want to be unkind, it's just. Difficult.

I'm trying to leave the cat alone.

You know things about cars. Let's assume that I'm in the market now that I'm in Taxon and things don't cost money anymore. Give me an idea of what kind of car I should get, and why.
caballero: (day | haha what)

One that can fit through a hatch.

Well, if we're being all practical...

No, okay, in all seriousness, would there be much point to the flashing lights? There's not exactly a whole lotta traffic around here anyway.

You're not. I mean, it's a damn big house, but it is, y'know, a house, and this is all really impromptu and a house is not the same as a secured, sterilized facility. God forbid someone needs surgery at some point.

You know that'll just make it follow you around.

Give me a step by step process for "getting this party started."

I suspect he will see it that way.

You may be right and perhaps I will be afforded the luxury of explaining my actions.

That's probably the smartest move, unless you want parts clawed off. He's kind of grouchy after having been in his kittycrate for so long, and the new surroundings aren't helping any.

Not to mention, you know, the fact that I'm injured and basically physically unable to restrain him.

Best post-recovery cocktail, go.

[identity profile] meanwhileback.livejournal.com 2010-03-13 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Worshipping you; could it improve my luck any? Keep in mind that basically anything other than getting blown up again would probably be an improvement at this point.
caballero: (day | attention)

[personal profile] caballero 2010-03-13 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think so. Maybe some kind of decal or designation so people in a panic can see it and be reassured, but I think it's better to focus on making it durable as hell and equipped properly inside.
faderbroderson: (i see what u did there)

What should one do when one's psychologist turns out to be a psychopath?

[identity profile] meanwhileback.livejournal.com 2010-03-13 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you're no fun anymore. There's got to be a dealership in this stupid fucking city somewhere, or else why did they bother putting streets in?
caballero: (day | heal)

[personal profile] caballero 2010-03-13 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
The fact that I'm a person with opinions and loyalties, as well, means putting something as vital as centralized medical care in my private residence is asking for trouble down the line.

... Great.

Can I just leave a tin of tuna out whenever I come in the room?
caballero: (day | recursive)

Be grateful he didn't dose you with anything, and ask for a reference next time.

... He's very good at fooling people, and I think we collectively dodged a bullet.

Step 1: Cut a hole in the box Locale is key. It can be as low-class and skanky as you want, but if it's too small or too high-class, people won't be as willing to come and let loose.
Step 2: Gaga. Gaga and Cristal. Let them both flow.
Step 3: Round up the fancy bitches in fancy shoes and men in watches that cost more than most people's cars
Step 4: If the party is going slow, provide shots. Alcohol is social lubrication.

Ahaha, oh. You don't want my help with that, mine's more a case in point of why not to.

However, the whole civic responsibility and 'if you don't, who will?' arguments tend to be reasonably effective, depending on the target.

It'll probably all be impersonal, safe panda cars.

No medicine would have affected me, thankfully. It didn't even occur to me to ask for a reference. It's not as if there are an abundance of therapists in Taxon.

[identity profile] meanwhileback.livejournal.com 2010-03-13 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
You could do that, yeah, but it'd probably be best if you did that while also showing him some dudely respect, otherwise he'd just assume you're patronizing him or something.

Speaking of "whenever I come in the room", you're probably not gonna find me much fun to visit for another week or so, until speaking makes me feel less like death on rollerskates.

Ugh. No thanks.

I'm going to need a lot of Advil for this aren't I?

It's particularly unfortunate when someone decides to take advantage of people in a place like this, where we trust each other at least a little by default, being comrades in captivity. I'm not sure how to combat that, to be honest.

[identity profile] meanwhileback.livejournal.com 2010-03-13 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
And you're not just saying that because you're in dire need of a couple of people to pour out some forties for you?
