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.

You know, I've been wondering about that as well. I've never even seen the guy. If you find anything, tell me.

...And shouldn't robots hate rain?

[electrowhipit]

Will do, uh... I don't think I got your name.

And why would I hate rain?

[if-she-hollers.livejournal.com]

. . . 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.

[yamatopetals.livejournal.com]

He does have quite a history but... It's strange, did anyone actually vote in this 'election'?

[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?

[electrowhipit]

I just got here, so I know I didn't. I'm kind of hearing that there wasn't an election anyway.

[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.]

[yamatopetals.livejournal.com]

That's what it seems. It's all... [she sighs] I'm sorry. Did someone tell you about what he's done? I can do my best to tell you what I know.

The milkman seems to be related somehow to the mayor and the police chief - well, the mayor before - in that he wasn't like the drones. He also left poisoned and otherwise tampered with milk and orange juice for the town, and I think people suspected him of being involved with the deaths in July.

[Somewhere in the house, it sounds like someones tripping...alot]

I found some candles!

[electrowhipit]

... Harley?

If it gives off light, I'll take it. Just... [ ohgod. carefully trying to maneuver around the furniture ] where are you?

[electrowhipit]

I've heard about the poison, but... what happened in July?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Yeah, just don't burn the place down! ...

I'm in here!
[She's in the next room he goes into lighting some candles around the room]

[electrowhipit]

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

[electrowhipit]

Poisoned milk, and something about body parts. That's all I've got.

[electrowhipit]

The last thing I want is another fire... [ oho, glorious light! ]

This is better. I miss my headlights already.

[yamatopetals.livejournal.com]

That's all there is really. I don't know if anyone has actually met him.

[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.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm gonna' look for a flashlight soon.

[Glances out the window] This storm better not last long.

[electrowhipit]

The more I hear about how no one really knows anything about this guy, the less I like this situation.

[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.

[electrowhipit]

Good idea. ... Not that I know where to start looking for a flashlight, but still a good idea.

Does this kind of thing happen often or-?

[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.
