Chapter Three

[take_theride]

Not to be negative, but this city is a fucking helltrap. Invite the unwilling into town and then tell them to fight crime, fuck that. I'm not a particularly dangerous person. I've done my share of strange things and certainly I can handle my drugs and alcohol better than half of you, but other than that and my skill with a typewriter I'm not good

God, I love you and I love his demon flipouts.

[yippiekiyay]

I'm about a monster away from considering this hell.

[take_theride]

I'm already there, Boss.

[yippiekiyay]

At least you can run. I've gotta stay and try to clean the mess up.

[take_theride]

I'm not a runner. Well, maybe I can be.

I'll be honest with you. I want to get to the bottom of this just as much as any other sonuvabitch, but put me face to face with a big grotesque fucker who spits fire and I'll run out of there faster than you thought possible.

[justgetgreener]

You won't get a straight answer from those in charge. Not one that you'd like, at least.

And even if you do, what's to say that the citizens of the City will believe you?

[take_theride]

They never do, my dear, not en masse, anyway. Still its worth a try, I might not stand a chance but if it gives me hope to get out of this mess I'll fucking do it. I'm not afraid.

[justgetgreener]

At the risk of your own reputation, even? Wonderful.

[take_theride]

HA! My reputation. That's a good one.

[grenadeball]

for the person in charge

well, it's not the robot anymore

you are gonna have to demand answers from god

[take_theride]

I've tried that shit before. Christ, this is going to get ugly.

[grenadeball]

you could also try curbstomping chaos theory

but that is very fucking tricky

[take_theride]

That might be crossing the line.

[thatsafinecoat]

Not so sure about that booze claim of yours, but seems to me there ain't no one in charge of this damn place.

Still ain't that convinced this isn't somethin' caused by my condition.

[take_theride]

Your condition?

Hm. Someone's in charge. Someone brought us here.

[thatsafinecoat]

Yeah. I get confused. Used to get pills for it from my parole officer's girlfriend.

Word is there was someone in charge, but he's long gone now. All that's left is the machine that keeps bringin' people in.

[take_theride]

Machines had off switches, and if it's anything like a vacuum, it might have 'reverse'.

[take_theride]

Someone in this goddamn city is sure to have immunities to that stuff. The machine isn't that smart.
