Cirrin did dump the slightly more dangerous work on Katrin's matesprit. Got to watch for those irrate customers and unleashed lususes.

[CrazedWormHole]

Zerleg takes off his glasses, showing the contacts he's wearing to look more mature and everything. Because Zerleg totally screams "mature."

*** Hey, cool. ___

He leans in over the computer, examining it closer. He may or may not have disconnected and reconnected some cables in the wrong order.

[Rai-CH]

"<( Oh, no! 'T least, I don't r'memb'r. I haven't talk'd t' him in a while, t' b' honest... )"

[Blank]

[CrazedWormHole]

Zerleg immediately hurdles away from the computer. This can be bad.

[Rai-CH]

"Exactly~!"
Not even Skathi knows how she just escaped death.

"<( Yeah, 'nd I dunno if he would tell me if was annoy'd at th' work. Y' prob'bly know what he's like. )"

[Fexxos Vyront]

Serkin breathes a sigh of relief.
He is free once more.

[FubbalyWubbaly]

wutt?
He dumbly stares at zerleg for a moment before glancing at his computer making thoes tell-tale signs of smoking and short circuiting. Before he could even swear, he ducks out of the way as computer explodes into a fiery, pathetic pile of scrap, debris flying everywhere. He creeps back up to the table, staring at his computer with a deep saddeness

MY COMPUTTER!! MY BEAUTT1FFUL COMPUTTER!
He weeps quietly as he sees his hard work go up in smoke

[Blank]

yeah he said hes better off working with clocks or whatever it is he does but then he didnt complain much about the coal mine either
He shrugs.

[ailsagraystone]

Fellus came into the cafe, looking around quickly before she walked to the bar. Things were better today at least, and everything will be better soon. She soon would have enough money for a mechanical eye. Yes, she felt alright. Then a computer exploded and she sighed.

[CrazedWormHole]

Zerleg gets back out from his hiding place, hands in his pockets, doing his best to act nonchalant.

*** Wow, what a bang. Did you see that? Pretty cool, wasn't it? ___

Zerleg you moron.

[Rai-CH]

"<( I dunno what's worse, if he did complain or th' fact he doesn't complain... )
<( Doesn't stop me from worryin', eith'r way. )"
She sighs.

[FubbalyWubbaly]

hourss and hourss off tthankless labour, all gone tto wa1sstt
He places his head in his arms on the table at his pile of computer. Ok Chever, stop being so over-dramatic.

[Fexxos Vyront]

Serkin examines the smoking wreckage of computer from afar and he is torn between laughing, and feeling bad for his superior.
He chooses to feel bad.

[CrazedWormHole]

And of course, Zerleg is laughing at that.

*** Pfffthahahaha! Come on, it was a piece of junk! Honestly, the thing it was best at was exploding, as I proved. ___

Whoops slip of tongue.

[Blank]

what do you even do these days to relax and get your mind off worrying? still doing that roleplaying thing?
He doesn't say that too loudly, remembering her being self concious of it.
thought about getting back into flarp?
Now there's a way to get killed by imagination.

[Rai-CH]

"<( That... Stopp'd bein' fun ages ago... )"
It comes to Katrin's attention that she actually has shitall hobbies apart from lazing around her hive. Jesus christ girl.
"<( ...'Nd I thought we both d'cided Flarp w's too dangerous? )"

[FubbalyWubbaly]

He trails off in pathetic sobs. God, is he starting to hate this guy. But right now, Chever is too crushed to even punch him in the face. Instead he captchalougs his junk and begins making a quick abscond, realizing that he's blubbering like a grub. Best return and give zerleg a peice of his mind when he can actualy talk.

((I take my leave, g'night c: ))

[CrazedWormHole]

Zerleg sits back down, puts his shades back on and orders a coke to celebrate that he ruined someone's night.

((G'night.))

[ailsagraystone]

She felt bad for the seadweller with the strange ears. She knew what it was like to lose something that you worked on so hard. But she waited to see what kind of angry words her fellow green blood would get. But it seemed she would have a while to wait. The seadweller left and she shook her head.

[BishouTaka]

And Hawktopus had zonked out. Whoops. Fell asleep in class, yaaay. Cloten and patchwork sit at the table, Cloten eating a cookie
