[kumagypsy]

HEY LASH.

Do you know a guy named Hawke. Kind of a jerk, hangs up on people when he calls them?

Hold on a second I've got a gigantic bug and...[background noise of a rocket launcher going off and explosions] HELL YEAH GOT THAT ONE STRAIGHT IN THE EYES!

...okay, sorry about that, what did you say?

[oso-tigre.livejournal.com]

HELL YEAH! I mean, uh, do you know some guy named Hawke? I just got a call from him and he told me he's looking for you and then he hung up on me. Sound familiar?

[Another random explosion.]

[thewunderkind]

....Hawke is dead.

[oso-tigre.livejournal.com]

...Oh.

[oso-tigre.livejournal.com]

But how could he have-

Unless-

[oso-tigre.livejournal.com]

AUGH

I JUST TALKED TO A FREAKY BUG ALIEN.

[thewunderkind]

QUICK, YOU DIDN'T GIVE IT ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE BASES OF OPERATION DID YOU?!!

[oso-tigre.livejournal.com]

FUCK.

[oso-tigre.livejournal.com]

IT ASKED ME IF IT WAS ON THE WARTIME FREQUENCY AND I SAID YES.

THAT'S BAD, RIGHT?

[thewunderkind]

[Random explosion] OH NO I GOT IT ALL OVER MY WINDSHIELD.

No, that's fine, That nerdy guy with the glasses changes it every two hours and resets all the headsets to it.

[oso-tigre.livejournal.com]

BUT AT LEAST YOU KILLED IT DEAD, RIGHT?

Oh thank God for nerds. OKAY WELL, I guess I can chalk that one up to evil horde mindfuckery, then! I'mma go out and fight some more stuff now!

[thewunderkind]

I SURE DID TEE HEE HEE!

...you know, that still doesn't explain how it knew my name. Think it's that whole "WE WILL SCREW WITH YOUR MIND OOOEEEEOOO" thing?

[oso-tigre.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was weird. If it wanted to mess with me, why did it impersonate someone you knew and I didn't?

I'mma bust some heads if they start pretending to be Locria.

[thewunderkind]

Yeah it seems utterly complicated just to get to talk to someone like that. Maybe they just wanted to distract you?

Maybe these Aparoids are dumber than we think!

Besides, if that had really been Hawke, he'd have ridden into battle on a black flaming death horse, cutting and shooting everything in his path.

[oso-tigre.livejournal.com]

Yeah, probably. I should go find the one that called me and light them on fire!

Wow, he sounds like a pretty cool guy, actually. rides flaming death horses and doesn't afraid of anything

[thewunderkind]

Yeah go kick that aparoid's ass. If they have one.

Oh man, don't get me started.
