And the ticking returns... despite my recent socializing amongst the masses. A malfunction, perhaps? One curiosity that leads to yet another curiosity as I am not in a position to know, having only been a resident here for a short while: has this City malfunctioned before?

Would uneven ticking be better or worse?

[saturates_space]

Good question. From my perspective, it would be worse. However, the ticking might not stop if measures, such as shooting the clock, are not taken.

How well protected is the area around the clock, do you know? Perhaps I should take a walk and investigate.

[blonderazorshiv]

No idea. I never had much of a reason to go looking.

[saturates_space]

Do you have a reason now or do you plan to shoot at things other than the source of our irritation?

[blonderazorshiv]

I plan to get a new pack of cigarettes before anything else.

[ And then later on he has a threesome scheduled... though no, he wouldn't be opposed to just shooting at random, either. ]

[saturates_space]

Well then, I'm certain that will help things along.

[blonderazorshiv]

Nicotine helps my aim.

[ No it doesn't. ]

[saturates_space]

A pity that your aim needs help. [Is that a bit of rare amusement in Jericho's tone? Yes. Yes, I think it is.] Although I'm certain we will all appreciate your doing whatever it takes to be more efficient with a weapon.

[blonderazorshiv]

You know how it is. A few years out of practice and a little nicotine goes a long way.

[ His aim is just as good as it once was, in all honestly. Some unfortunate shoppers learned that firsthand, didn't they? Well, he told them not to set off the fucking alarm. ]
