VIDEO - Joint posts, have you noticed that I love making them?

[Hello Barge, have some video footage! Some video footage, specifically, of the following piece of writing, scrawled across the common room wall, in big, friendly, glow in the dark letters

Comments

[Narvin is walking not far from the common room when the message goes out on the network. He expects it to be more barge business taking care of the aftermath of the blackout, or, at worst, someone making another drearily earnest speech that they felt had to be shared with the whole bloody ship. So when the "advertisement" shows up on his screen, he freezes in his tracks and his eyes widen.

That's *his* inmate the idiot humans are maligning. And his (well, public) common room they're defacing.

Narvin turns around and marches to the common room door. He enters the room and promptly starts coughing from the horrid smell of the smoke.]

Shit! [At the sound of footsteps, Neil quickly drops the joint and covers it with his foot. Habit. Like pot's even illegal on the Barge. He gives the newcomer a neutral, if slightly challenging look.] Hope you're not here to answer the ad.

[Which is pretty rich from somebody who's got his own ad for services somewhere, but hey. It's kinda hidden. Inmates only. Not like this guy would know.]

I am spending too much time trying to figure out if Narvin could get high from the second hand smoke

[timesbureaucrat]

Hardly. I--

[Then he notices the face of who he's talking to. That face (younger, but still the same face), combined with that advertisement is an unfortunate combination. He takes a few seconds to pull himself together before he speaks again.]

Is that puerile twaddle what passes for witticism in your mind?

And what have you been burning in here?

... I desperately want the answer to be yes :ccc

[saveme_barry]

Yeah, sorry to disappoint you mate, but Neil and I are both tall and swan like and don't consider chickens to be acceptable legal tender. [Nathan slings his arm around Neil's shoulders loftily.] So you're gonna have to take your hunt for dirty stumpy fucking elsewhere.

[He smiles innocently]

Incense. We've been like, meditating or whatever.

That wouldn't happen to be one of the common rooms that Armand and Loki have repainted?

[young_idealist]

Let's go with: if you want it to have been! Don't worry though, it's only chalk!

[saveme_barry]

sure...

[young_idealist]

[Armand is trying not to sound annoyed, and almost not expecting an answer.]

Where are you?

[saveme_barry]

I'm takin' a sabbatical up your mum's fanny, where are you?

[bunchasavages]

Ardent's too lame and sad.

I'm just gonna say to whoever actually wrote that: "Eat pussy" is much more succinct.

h-ha i didn't have Nathan friended before now ;;

[darknessb4me]

No. Stop. I can't breathe. It's too witty.

For anyone who had this go over your heads: It's funny because they wrote about sex on a wall and then pretended someone else did it! Genius! You might not have caught the subtleties. After all, it's not every day you see someone pull off satire this subtle and pointed.

To think at that age I was only commanding battalions against the Amani. Wasted potential is what it is.

I'm glad we have you here, gentlemen. You're a credit to us all.
