When you people say "things" happen every once in a while, are these "things" always so... I don't even know how to describe that. Involved? Difficult? Whatever it was, I hope it's not the norm.

But it looks like I got a little something for my troubles.

Followed by the distinct crackle of electricity that causes a fair amount of static over the line for a second or two. ]

...

Yes!

How is a power surge "difficult?"

[electrowhipit]

Oh. That. I thought you were talking about the... static.

There was... I guess you could call it "political unrest" that resulted in fires, storms, power outages, acid rain, and killer drones.

[strongestofice.livejournal.com]

That's...weird.

[electrowhipit]

You're telling me.

[strongestofice.livejournal.com]

Why would anyone even get worked up over politics?

[electrowhipit]

Possibly because one of the candidates was psychotic?

[strongestofice.livejournal.com]

Really?

[electrowhipit]

Yep.

Word of advice, don't drink the milk. That psycho just happens to be the milkman, and he's got a fondness for poisoning things.

Anything else I should watch out for?

[electrowhipit]

To be honest, I'm really not sure. I kind of got here right as the chaos was kicking up.

[strongestofice.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, thanks for warning me about the milk.

[electrowhipit]

No problem. What's your name?

[strongestofice.livejournal.com]

Mannen.

[electrowhipit]

I'm Jolt.

Nice to meet you.
