And cola.

omg spider

[trauma_queen]

Uhm.

I don't think that's a very good idea.

[a_time_slip]

I can help you with the soda, anyway.

You'll have to get it out of the machine. Just press the button.

omg person who knows spider. <3

[notascheap]

Of course it isn't. That's why I would like them.

[Beat.]

The truth serum isn't for me. By the way. Although I would make do with an especially virulent strain of loquabacterium.

i have spider tattoos. XD

[trauma_queen]

Okay, uh, isn't that sodium whatsit like, what they use for lethal injections? And that's like, not generally something you want to be injecting into people mostly?

...are you one of those people who makes weird drugs out of like, eye drops and stuff and then they make your feet rot off and stuff and even heroin addicts like give you the side eye and are like, "ew"?

[notascheap]

...machine. Don't you have a Maker? People are functional idiots, they cannot be relied on to push a button and get the right thing from it. Or so says Civic Center.

[Don't mind him, he is evidently displaced from time and baffled by this past technology thing.]

heeee NICE

[notascheap]

They used to. Now it's used solely for recreation and psychological torture. And for making people talk about things they don't want to admit to. Outdated, maybe, but effective. I am certain my Filthy Assistants are conspiring against me and require something to prove it in a particularly horrible way.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Anything I inject into my eyes absolutely will not make my feet rot. This is modern society, after all, and I do not waste money on inferior drugs.

[a_time_slip]

A what?

I'm sorry, I wanted to prank you. The machine never gives out the right soda...

[notascheap]

A Maker. It makes whatever you tell it to. ...provided it's not doped up on who knows what, anyway.

[He peers at her very carefully.]

You're not a Revival, are you? Or an escaped Reservationist?

[a_time_slip]

[She just appears to be a young woman in a mechanics jumpsuit]

I- um. Yes but I don't like labels and I live on my own. Away from everyone. And... uh. no contact with the outside world? Dope is a bad idea, just so you know. It'll ruin your life.

[She's also a terrible liar]

[notascheap]

Which? Inquiring minds want to know. Meaning me.

I've got traits. It really won't; if it was going to it would have just done it by now.

[a_time_slip]

A revival? Yes, a revival. It doesn't matter, does it? Not in the long run anyway.

Well, maybe it's not done working it's magic dope, um. Magic. And you'll be minding your own business, doping up cola and boom, suddenly you're a junkie with five minutes left to live and all you can think about is your next high, but it's too late because you'll be dead before you get it.

wtf html

[dukelow]

It's not cola. It's pop.

I love you

[ofdrumsthesound]

Haven't got sodium thiopental. I have soda.

[notascheap]

[Narrowed eyes, more than a touch of irritability. What is with people.] Of course it matters. There's a difference.

What part of "traits" doesn't penetrate your brain? If I was going to die of Drugs my veins would have had the decency to collapse and my brain to melt in spite of my attempts to keep them functional. They still insist on working despite my best efforts so therefore. It would seem to be impossible.

ick. evil beastie.

[notascheap]

What's the difference?

[dukelow]

The difference is that soda refers to a specifically clear drink that is often used in mixed drinks, while pop is almost always darker in color. It could also be coke, but that is often referred to as a drug and not a beverage. As you can see, it's all context, and seeing as how you gave it no context, I will further think that you are merely thirsty.

:D I AM GLAD to see more people who are familiar!

[notascheap]

Well that's a let-down. How can I poison my Filthy Assistants and make them admit all their disgusting secrets if I don't have the DRUGS to do it?

TRUTH! And beating it out of people with chair legs! :D Love him. We need reporters like that now...

[ofdrumsthesound]

Try getting them drunk. You must have beer somewhere . . .

[notascheap]

Not me. My filthy assistants.

...they just don't know it yet.

[EVIL GRIN GOES HERE. It is for their own good, he promises.]

bwahahahaha I don't think our news could handle him.

[notascheap]

Not fast enough. Who uses beer, beer is SLOW and foaming and contains nanomites that will enter your pores and fill your brain with ads. Why use beer when drugs are more efficient and come in seven different flavors? None of which are BREAD or YEAST?

Sadly

[ofdrumsthesound]

Then you'll have to go get some.

[dukelow]

... Why exactly do you need this, now?

[notascheap]

Because they have been Up To Things and I need to know? Because if I can't trust my filthy assistants, who CAN I trust?

[notascheap]

And yet I asked you to. Do not make me ask again for I am feeling paranoid and have an illegal bowel disruptor and four attack viruses and three surveillance bacterium seeped into my skin.

I love this conversation

[ofdrumsthesound]

I have a laser, a shrink ray, body modifications that allow me to shoot energy bolts out of my hands, immunity to all human diseases and cannibalistic tendencies. You don't get to order me around.

Look, we can go find some together. How does that sound?

heee I am enjoying it quite a bit too

[notascheap]

...who doesn't have at least half of those on a BAD day?

Fine. Deal. Done. I would make it myself but my Maker's on strike and I would prefer to avoid a horse head in my bed again if I can help it.

Do you at least know where to START?

[dukelow]

Being up to things does not really answer my question. We can wander, take a walk, just a walk and you can further tell me all of these Things- or, I will take my one can of pop and carry on.

I may even drink it, never to be had again.

[notascheap]

...are you trying to COERCE me? That is cruel and unusual and HIGHLY immoral. If I were a public official or politician it would also be highly illegal.

Let's walk.

[ofdrumsthesound]

A drugstore, where else?

[dukelow]

I do not coerce! I thought to give you my arm but now I think that you may try to take it and beat someone with it.

You take the first step. No one walks behind me.

[notascheap]

You misunderstand. Coercion is one of the last great traditions in this world of ours; right behind blackmail and threatening.

And I never beat people with their own arms while they're still attached.

[It's fine. Of course he'll walk in front; he always leads.]

[notascheap]

...a what?

Spider Jerusalem!

[drake_wayne]

Why?

it is!

[notascheap]

Because I need to make people talk! Many words that they wouldn't speak without benefit of drugs that make their tongues loose.

[ofdrumsthesound]

A drugstore. Somewhere they store drugs.

Or hell, can't you borrow a friend's Maker? You must have a friend.
