level: easy/less weird

[aroundthecoroner]

1. I've never had a pet.
2. I've probably held more organs than the average surgeon.
3. I'd never been on a boat before Hadriel.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Gonna go with the boat one.

Though I gotta tell you that never having a pet is really weird.

[aroundthecoroner]

Yeah, it's the boat one.

Wait, why is that weird? There were like, four kids in my house growing up. That's probably enough small energetic things?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Unless you had to feed them, take them for walks or clean out their shitboxes, they don't count as pets.

[aroundthecoroner]

Isn't that what you do with kids, though? I mean, besides the shitbox thing. Though I guess diapers count, at least while they're babies.

... I think I just argued for children being pets.

[theweakhavepurpose]

You did. Proving my point about not having pets being weird.

I'd like to argue for the reverse with pets being children. There's some wolves I'd like to claim as dependents on my taxes.

[aroundthecoroner]

Or maybe that my ideas about kids are just weird? Anyway, you have pet wolves? That's pretty awesome.

[theweakhavepurpose]

They're technically not mine. And they're not pets.

But I've been the one taking care of them, so that should count.

[ By "taking care of" he means he's the only one down there skritching their ears and telling them they're good boys while the rest of the cult is trying to turn them into killing machines. ]

[aroundthecoroner]

Do you like, work at a wolf sanctuary?

[Somehow despite being technically a serial killer, this is the only possible meaning that crosses his mind.]

[theweakhavepurpose]

I wish.

No, Jacob captures wolves, tortures them and injects them with this drug to make them stronger and more ferocious. Trains them to kill people.

But I'm the one brushing them and sneaking them snacks and teaching them to play fetch.

[aroundthecoroner]

... Jesus Christ.

[y i k e s]

Well, uh, I'm glad you're infinitely less of an awful person than this Jacob guy? What is going on where you're from? Are you from Mad Max world?

[theweakhavepurpose]

[He's not really sure how to take that compliment, seeing as how there's a part of him that thinks Jacob is right. So he ignores it completely.]

There's a religious cult set on killing any sinners and non-believers.

You know, I never thought about it, but they do have trucks with speakers on them blaring their music. And there are a lot of car chases. There's a priest who defected to the resistance...

Kinda yeah, I sorta am from Mad Max. If Mad Max was set in Montana anyway.

[aroundthecoroner]

God, that sounds awful. Are people, like, doing anything about it? Or are you guys just kinda screwed?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Everyone is killing each other.

I was part of the US Marshal force who was arresting the cult leader. It didn't go as planned.

[Putting it mildly.]

There's the resistance and the cultists and they're constantly fighting and killing each other.

If they ever sort this out I'm going to be doing paperwork until I retire.

[aroundthecoroner]

So is Montana just like, a free-for-all? Is the rest of the country just sitting back and watching?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Who cares about some hick town in Montana they've never heard of?

[No he's not bitter.]

They probably think it's an exaggeration. And we're pretty remote.

[aroundthecoroner]

You guys should like sneak a messenger or two out there. Take some cellphone videos? I don't know what all you've got. But, uh, best of luck with that dude. It sounds pretty... awful, yeah.

[theweakhavepurpose]

They took out the cell towers. Smart bastards.

Thanks. We're ... working on it. Some more effectively than others.
