nine sick, disgusting thoughts | text

[somesayinfire]

Holy crap, this month has been busy. I don't even have any poorly tasting mortician jokes to throw at you, numbers club. That's how you know it's been rough.

I guess we're not so secret anymore? I don't even know. I'm trying to keep my status as a member of this thing secret since I still work for the city and all. Not like it's been easy with all these FBI agents swarming around. I'm lucky nobody's tried running me through one of those full-body scans, huh? That'd be a huge red light.

Speaking of huge lights, if you're new to the numbers club, hi! My name's Brooke. I'm a mortician. Most of my work is on the up-and-up, but if past you was undead or anything like that, I can definitely try to help. Things keep going this way and it might be all I do. Anyway, look, sorry I've been gone for so long and sorry I couldn't help much in that big fight. I'm just... glad that I didn't recognize any of the decedents.

Jeez, are those FBI agents really doing stuff like that to everyone?

I know it's for safety reasons but...that's just...starting to get really creepy!

Damn it, she thought she was past that. SHE WAS JUST TRYING TO COOK PASTA.

She's just gonna...move that mess of burnt sauce and noodles off of the stove and turn on the kitchen fan. Pop a window.

JUST KEEP DOING WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING, BROOKE

SHE'S GOT THIS IN THE BAG.]

Are the undead all that common around here?

No full-body scans, though for the record, some of us have been ID-ed and questioned by the feds.

[That's a voice he's not recognized on the network in a while in some of these responses - can't help twitching into some measure of a smile with what amount of face he's still got, tunes in, and drops in with a dried-out:]

Hi, Ms. Reynolds...

[Lifts it up.] You're not - uhmm. Have you been in any -- trouble...? [It twists a little awkwardly high, as it's really none of his business, but it's worth checking! In the responses he's gotten anything out of, he's only picked up that work's been keeping her busy - for morbidly obvious reasons.]

Busy month for you too? Funny how that works. Giant snake attacks and suddenly everyone wants to talk to you off-network.

[ And with the FBI in town, he's basically been locked up debriefing everyone about the situation and helping investigate. Work sucks. ]
