I'll get back to you on this topic once we get past the barrier, how's that sound?

[ lmao. ]

Tables are bolted down. Nahida had to boost my psychs to get one loose.

[westedge]

Fine, okay. [ conceding to that! but also frowning. ]

...guess they really want us to be as uncomfortable as possible.

[roseoftexas]

Probably because people would steal them. Not us necessarily, but… people.

[ OG people. ]

[westedge]

...no, that's fair. I could see that actually being a problem. [ he says, as someone who probably comes from a place where this happens and people have stopped caring about bolting furniture down. ]

[roseoftexas]

I'm pretty sure it happened for real back home, which is why they all got bolted to the floor in the first place. You see weird shit in a 24/7 McDonalds.

[westedge]

I don't think our town had one that was open 24/7 but that didn't stop people anyway. Half the time the lights weren't working, and there was always at least one shady van parked in the corner at all hours.

[roseoftexas]

What is it about fast food places that make them magnets for shady business?

[westedge]

Probably something in the fumes from the oil. That's about all I can guess. [ no. ]

[roseoftexas]

Smell of grease driving everyone to violence?

[westedge]

To be fair, I'm pretty sure some of us were almost driven to violence after those nine hours.

[roseoftexas]

That’s probably not the best thing, given we’re trying to futilely dial back the death and distractions.

[westedge]

I'd say maybe that's a case we can make against it to the reapers, but I'm getting the feeling that probably wouldn't work? [ weird. ]

[roseoftexas]

I doubt they'll let us out for a stroll, even if we ask nicely. Not if it's not related to the case.

[westedge]

Man, don't real juries get breaks, too? Like a recess. Where's our recess?

[roseoftexas]

[ at 10pm BST, keep up. ]

Probably whenever we stare at the ceiling and disassociate.

[westedge]

Maybe that's the first thing we should start with instead.

[roseoftexas]

Get it out of the way, got it.

[ he's going to disassociate immediately on saturday ]

[westedge]

It's a start. [ but since this is from saturday: ] Let's just focus on whatever's happening tomorrow first. Then we can figure out the rest.

[roseoftexas]

[ yeah i'm closing the thread. be free. so we can backdate some more for this week when i'm dead tomorrow. ]
