It would appear that today is Extraterrestrial Abduction Day. The majority of the school has been making jokes about it behind the backs of the staff. Those who were more deeply affected by current events have started fights over it. Is it this bad at the public schools as well?

I fear the depths to which the world sinks, even without our adversary.

(Yes, it's real.)

I bet no one even cared about it until all this started. I know I've never heard of it.

[audio]

[stavros]

It is certainly ill-timed.

[audio]

[dragon_blossom]

Everything is ill-timed any more.

[audio]

[stavros]

Perhaps, with such calamity as has befallen the city.

[audio]

[dragon_blossom]

It's a disaster zone, and I doubt this is the end of it.

[audio]

[stavros]

Surely not. There is one thing I don't understand. Why, if the snake was supposed to be on our side and the enemy of the aliens, did it attack indiscriminately and kill so many?

[audio]

[dragon_blossom]

Who's to say it was really truly on our side? That's up to the snake itself, right? Maybe it was rebelling or something.

ugh it's the same in my school. it's just embarrassing

[stavros]

I feared as much. How has it been for you?

[publicity]

annoying??? it's not like anyone there knows i'm in all of this or w/e but it's so. annoying.

they're seriously so stupid!!!

[stavros]

Indeed. This world is in the depths of darkness, is it not?

[publicity]

excuse me??? the depths of darkness??

idk if i'd put it like that

[stavros]

But only when we embrace the horror can we persevere.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Is that seriously a thing?

[Google.]

It is. That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard.

[stavros]

There are worse holidays. Last week, it was World Plumbing Day.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Plumbing's an important thing that actually happens, though. Where would we be without toilets?

[stavros]

Fine. Viagra Day's next week.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Viagra Day.

I dunno if I want to celebrate that one.

[stavros]

Maybe let all the old men have their own parties. Far away. Where the rest of us may preserve our brains.

Well, if nothing's happened yet I doubt anything's gonna happen now.

Unless people have disappeared.

[stavros]

They have.

[cursedtolive]

Just today? Like actually abducted?

[stavros]

Not today, but in the past, people have been disappeared.

[cursedtolive]

... Then what's the point of pointing out that today is abduction day?

[stavros]

Either fearmongering or being useless. Likely the latter.
