Entry #A-4: "Ante" [February 21, Text]

Though the police and the Blood Keys obviously represent a threat to many numbered individuals, I have a question about organized religion, and what pulses might mean when framed within certain philosophical contexts. No matter how natural it might feel, if there really is another being nudging its way into an existing consciousness, changing a person's aptitudes, physical attributes and even their personality... there have to be at least a few churches that would consider that demonic possession, right? Has anyone tried to reconcile what's happening with influential religious practices, and do we have any resources for assisting anyone who might wind up the subject of an attempted exorcism? Those still happen today, they can be extremely dangerous, and I'm concerned about the possibility of frightened numbered people seeking out such assistance, or being subjected to it by their families and communities. Thinking you're crazy is one thing, but sincerely believing that the devil is wielding you as an instrument is another entirely. Probably not something that the FAQ page can successfully assuage, for the most tenaciously convinced.

ARE YOU

SHITTING ME

THAT'S AMAZING OH MY GOD WHY ARE OUR CUSTOMERS SO STUPID!?

The first guy, a few weeks ago, asked for a screwdriver, like it was funny? So I used a screwdriver to peel an orange, threw it away in front of him, and put the peels in a cup. He took a picture of it on Instagram, a movement was born, and my contempt is iconic.

oh christ I hate when people do that

i am so glad we hired you. you are magical.

Magical? No, I'm pretty sure I'm "Captain Hook." If that means needling people who won't grow up, I'll take it.

you know what fuck'em

why is he yoloing i don't even get it

They cost $8.

that is

is there a button on the register for this now i don't even

I just charge for two muffins and a medium coffee. It adds up.

no

no this needs to be official i'm putting a button on the register for it

I want a dollar raise.

[It's the least you guys can do for him; he'll miss occasionally eating the muffins he "sells."]

you know what i'll talk to the boss

[alas ray is not in charge of the money BUT HE CAN TRY TO HELP]

Thank you. I appreciate your trouble.

no trouble at all dude

Do you still smoke?

[shit]

i do

BUT i've cut myself down to one cigarette a day. i don't even take smoke breaks at work anymore I'M WORKING ON IT

Cigarettes aren't a terrible addiction compared to some vices, please don't take my question as judgment. I was just wondering if you could save some ashes for me.

what

why

what are you planning

New recipe. My vision calls for cigar ash, but I don't know anyone who smokes them and it's not a habit I'm willing to acquire.

see now THAT i think we could get sued for

No one eats banana peels. Not unless they're seriously disturbed people, anyway.

yeah but at least those come off a food and aren't y'know cigarette ashes

I could probably settle for coffee grounds. Have you heard the phrase "driven snow?" I want it to be like that, but the complete opposite.

i don't think i have actually but buddy if you want coffee grounds we have a SHITLOAD of coffee grounds

In an ideal world, you could sell coffee grounds, instead of just throwing them away. Same with orange and banana peels. The closest we can come to an ideal world is the one that we create, you know...

can't you use that kind of shit for plants or something??
