oo2 ★ TIME FOR SOME INFO GATHERING

[electrowhipit]

I guess that's one way to put out a fire. I can't say I really appreciate being left in the dark, though. [ there's a soft thud in the background ] Ow. Fraggit, who put that table there? I need a... what is it? Portable light thing... oh flashlight. I wonder if we have one...

Um, anyway. Speaking of being in the dark... I keep hearing things about this milkman- which is a ridiculous name, by the way- but I'm only catching bits and pieces. Someone wanna fill the new guy in? It sounds like he's got quite the history.

Oh, and Sideswipe? We need to talk.

. . . So like, remember when we were talking about weird stuff that happens? Like, this guy's been involved in the worst of 'em. He like, poisoned all the milk and like, a ton of people died. Something about like, Christmas and body parts, too, but like, no one's been very clear on that since like, Christmas is only just coming up.

Like, that's what I've heard. I like, wasn't around either.

[electrowhipit]

Oh, yay. Sounds like real fun to have at a party.

Now I'm trying to figure out who would elect him for anything.

[if-she-hollers.livejournal.com]

I'm like, pretty sure there wasn't an election at all. Besides like, the one with the fish and the countries.

[electrowhipit]

... Fish and wha- okay, never mind. That sounds way too confusing. But aside from the fish... thing, there wasn't an election? Then how did he get elected?

[if-she-hollers.livejournal.com]

Ummmmmm. So like, I know you're new and all, but like, you still really shouldn't believe anything they tell you. They like, always lie.

I think . . . I think this means that things will be getting worse.

[Mimi's serious voice is not at all clichely punctuated by a loud crack of thunder on her end.]

[electrowhipit]

... That wasn't ominous at all, thank you.

[if-she-hollers.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEK! Like, I totally scared myself!

But like . . . The old mayor didn't like, really do anything, but we know this one's like, a total scumbag. Like, be careful.

[electrowhipit]

[ lkgjsdfg he has to like, pull the phone away from his ear when she screeches ]

Yeah, well. You do the same.

... I'm Jolt, by the way.

[if-she-hollers.livejournal.com]

Huh? I like, never introduced myself? Like, I am so rude I'm soooo sorry. My name is like, Ini Miney, which is like, nowhere near as cool as yours.

[electrowhipit]

Don't worry about it. I'm sure it gets hard to keep track if people just keep popping up.

And I don't know, Ini Miney has a certain... ring to it.

[if-she-hollers.livejournal.com]

My parents had like, a weird sense of humor. My sister was named Mimi, and like, they always said that if we'd had a brother . . . You can like, probably guess.

[electrowhipit]

No, I can't. I think there's a reference there that's lost on me.

[if-she-hollers.livejournal.com]

Huh? Oh. I like, keep forgetting you're not human. . . . It's like, so weird to even think that sentence. K. I'll help you out.

"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Catch a tiger by its toe
If it hollers, let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe."

[electrowhipit]

... Ohhh. I get it now.

[if-she-hollers.livejournal.com]

. . .

Um. Like, are you sure? It's like, a children's counting rhyme so it like, doesn't really have a meaning. Well. Not unless you like, look really hard.

[electrowhipit]

I at least understand the reference, anyway.

[if-she-hollers.livejournal.com]

Right. So like, I'm glad my brother Moe doesn't like, exist, cause I think that's like, a perfectly awful name.

[electrowhipit]

Moe Miney... I'm no judge of what's normal for a human and what's not but that... it is pretty awful.
