Gabriel - Video - 02

[hung_garian]

You can all quit freaking out over The Box now. After painstaking investigation, I can reveal that it contains - a cat. It's simultaneously alive and dead. Hence all the funny scratches - if you ever tried getting your feline friend into a carrier, you'll know what I mean. Claws are not fun, kids, no matter what Whitesnake say. And that goes double for the undead kitty kind. Unhygienic on top of painful, double ouch.

[Needless to say, Gabriel is bored. Also needless to say (hopefully), none of that was true.]

So since that's all sorted out, who likes the idea of celebratory drinks? Sure, we might not technically have a bar, but where there's life there's booze, as my dear old gran used to say. Well, before she got packed off to rehab, anyway.

[He grimaces, despite not even having a grandmother.]

Anyway. Takers? Ladies, don't be shy. Doctor Barrett, that means you too, awful drinking habits notwithstanding.

How are you at code-breaking?

[hung_garian]

Can't say I've actually tried it, but I saw a movie about it and that looked pretty easy. So going by that and the fact that I'm fantastic at everything, I'd say... pretty good.

[theshield_agent]

[Well that sounds just stellar.]

Any chance that I can get you to see if you can pick out a code in all the nonsense on that cube before or after you party?

[hung_garian]

Well, after seems more likely, but on the other hand if I'm having trouble walking in a straight line my code-breaking skills might not be world-class either.

[theshield_agent]

Well, considering you learned your code-breaking skills from the television, the alcohol might actually improve it. Let me know if you find anything.

In the meantime, I could use a drink or six myself.

[primogen_vampirate]

Darling, how could I possibly say no to that?

Frankly, I think a little party would do everyone some good.

[hung_garian]

Exactly. And if it's in the interests of doing everyone some good, it makes me an altruistic public-spirited individual, instead of just an alcoholic.

[primogen_vampirate]

You're a true giver.

[hung_garian]

Well, my crippling modesty prevents me from agreeing with you outright, but I do so hate to argue.

[noblexcompanion]

Zombie kitty? seriously?

[hung_garian]

Seriously. Guy won a Nobel prize for that, y'know.

[No, Gabriel, he really didn't.]

[noblexcompanion]

Before or after he got eaten by the zombie cat?

[hung_garian]

After, of course. It's not a proper scientific breakthrough without a gory death.

[saltline]

[ It's always five o' clock somewhere right? ]

There's a bar.

[ Aside from that... ]

Somehow, 'm sensing you didn't even look into what that stupid box in the middle of town is. I'm generally not worried about a zombie outbreak as much as I'm just annoyed with it sitting there right now.

[hung_garian]

There's a bar and no one told me? You know, sometimes I start to think you guys just don't enjoy my company.

[He shrugs.]

A box is a box and in this case, that's apparently all it is. It hasn't done anything, the inscriptions are mindnumbingly banal, and I've lost interest.

[saltline]

I drank it.

[ He shakes his head. ]

Here I thought when you get bored with anything you did something about it...not whine, ignore it and wait until it goes away. Gotta say, I'm a little let down.

[hung_garian]

This may come as a surprise to you, bucko, but when I'm indifferent to something my knee-jerk reaction isn't to blow it up.

[onteamdyson]

No more booze. Bad decisions, unexplained bruises, and a dry, dry mouth are all that comes from it!

[Give her about an hour before alcohol is her best friend once more. Right now, she's still a little out of it.]

[hung_garian]

Those all sound to me like problems that could be solved by more alcohol.

[onteamdyson]

That solution only works if I'm in a perpetual state of wasted. Pretty sure my liver is gonna be against that one.

[hung_garian]

You're gonna let your internal organs boss you around? Honey, I hate to say it, but it sounds like your liver's got you whipped.

[porcelainpride]

...really? A physics joke?

[hung_garian]

I don't know if I'd go so far as calling it physics.

[porcelainpride]

Schrodinger. Most people wouldn't know who he is if they hadn't taken physics at some point.

[hung_garian]

Two words: pop culture. I'm no scientist. Hell, good way to tell someone isn't a proper scientist is if they make a Schrodinger joke.
