[005] simple as this: I'm in love with the risk; I know what I've done but tell me what did I miss?

Hey, uh.  You know that thing we did?  Before?  Is there a chance we could maybe do that again sometime?

No, people use this flood bullshit as an excuse to take back other shit they do. How d'you expect me to take anybody seriously when they say something knowing they could decide a couple days later they didn't really say it and it's the flood's fault? It's fucking bullshit.

Uh, no, because floods happen at the same time for everybody, and you're either affected or you're not. It's really not that hard to tell if someone's affected. Just back the fuck off.

Re: *GASP*

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

But they do it all the time. I mean, they don't always say it's 'cause of a flood, but.

Re: *GASP*

Fuck. Floods are announced, it's not like they can say it's the flood's fault unless there was actually a flood, and no, they don't do it all the time. Only when there was a flood.

Re: *GASP*

I didn't say they said it was the flood every time. I'm just saying. People say things and then take it back later and say they never said it in the first place. It happens. You calling me a liar?

Re: *GASP*

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

No. If it's not a flood, then yeah, call them on it. If they're lying, then call them on it, but floods happen here, and they do effect how people act. It's like if someone released drugs into the air. Yeah, people did crazy things, but they weren't themselves at the time, they didn't go under the influence willingly, and it shouldn't be treated like they were themselves because they weren't.

But, she...

[Fffff. Have a frustrated sigh; Richie is sick of dealing with this already. Normal things-didn't-happen-like-that he can deal with. Announced you-have-to-ignore-things-that-happen-here-because-it-wasn't-supposed-to? He is much less okay with.]

So what the fuck am I supposed to do?

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

What everyone else does. Keep track of when a flood is going on, and when it is, figure someone might be affected by it.

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

...Lemme guess. You're a screw.

[There's an acceptance of the advice in there somewhere, really. He just refuses to acknowledge it.]

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

What? If you mean a warden, then yeah. If you mean did I screw her, then no, I'm gay.

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

...No, I meant Warden.

[A scoff]

Well that explains it.

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure whatever you think explains...whatever, you're wrong on.

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

You're taking everybody's side.

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

Everybody but yours you mean? No, I'm taking their side because you're wrong.

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

How am I wrong? She--

[A frustrated noise; he has the distinct impression that NOBODY is listening to him anymore.]

It was okay then, but it's not now? That doesn't even...How the hell are you supposed to keep track and keep it separate?

...And if you say "listen to the announcements" again I swear I'll punch you in the fucking throat, warden or not.

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

Somehow, everyone else manages. Ask your warden.

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

Fine. I will.
