Ha Winter!

It's the middle of summer here. I might even go to the beach today.

 

[Roxas1359]

I like winter actually.
I love the long nights, the cloudy weather, and the every so lovely rain.

Please note where I live it rarely rains so this is a big deal for me! >.<

 

[Fijiman]

I like the snow.
I don't like the ice when it's on roads and whatnot.
I cope by staying the fuck inside most of the time.(not that I don't do that anyway)

 

[MrCollins]

I hate the stupid weather, it's so cold and miserable. Not to mention that my uni room is crap and the window never closes.

 

[Kae]

I like Winter, I prefer cold to hot, plus this city gets 50°C[small](122°F)[/small] on summer which is really fucking hot.

 

[Dr.Susse]

The only problem with summer here is the afternoon downpours.

Ruins cricket every time.

 

[Kae]

What I don't like about winter is that I lost all of my coats sweaters and Jackets, so I have just been soldiering on the cold, which is fine because most days it's like 16°C[small](61°F)[/small] which ain't that cold, but the other day it was -3°C[small](27°F)[/small] which isn't unbearable but it's a little too cold for just a long sleeve shirt, I'm too stupid and keep buying other things instead of winter clothes, like games and stuff...

 

[Dr.Susse]

@Kaleion: Games over warmth any time.

 

[Kae]

@Dr.Susse: I guess so, it's like non-stop christmas gifts from myself to myself, which is awesome because I'm like the person that loves me the most!

 

[Dr.Susse]

@Kaleion: Loving yourself is fine just never to it too much in public. *A wanking joke how witty!*

I wish I could do that.

 

[Roxas1359]

@Doc: Oh Doc~ XD

Anyway, loving the current weather I have since it's actually cloudy and rainy. I usually bundle up in a blanket and play some games or edit.

 

[Dr.Susse]

Spoiler: I don't know why I wrote this but it starts out about the weather. I have a lot of spare time.

It was hot; too fucking hot. It was so hot that the paint from the roof of my office had melted and was dripping onto the carpet. It was a good carpet; fished it out of the local river after seeing some suits throw it off the bridge in town. I remember when I first brought it home stray dogs kept breaking in, rolling around and licking it. Gave the place a musty smell, which was perfect for a guy like me.

A private investigator like me.

Maybe it wasn?t the paint; maybe it was just a leak and I needed a plumber.
That?s when she walked in. This dame had blonde eyes, blue hair and a pair of lips that could make you lose focus and mess up your sentence. Her legs went on for miles and in the end danced up only to make a **** out of themselves. She was the kind of dame that when people described her they?d drift off while thinking and then need some time alone.
Turns out like me she was looking for a plumber as well.

Without saying hello Dollface sat down took a cigarette and told me her story.

Turns out she had a boyfriend some Japanese plumber that had fallen in with the wrong crowd and went missing a few months back. ?It all started when he had a mushroom? she said. Apparently He went wild and chased her up a building with a hammer. Only to end up throwing some big security guard off the roof and like an elevator at the top floor the only direction that poor mug could go was down.

So this plumber had got his brother in on the action and together they became part of some fantasy like drug ring holed up in some of the dives downtown. Dollface recently had seen him acting crazy in the street. She tried to follow but he jumped into the sewer. Too late he was gone.

There was something strange about this case?.Something that ran as deep as a jar with one biscuit left that I just couldn't put my finger on.

That?s why I went digging at my local library. You see there?s something about a shovelling in a public building that always helps me think about a case. After I paid for the damage to some of the books and had got away from the librarian

I took a walk and three questions came to mind.
What did this guy take? Why did his brother join him? and after being born in Japan why did he have an Italian accent?

It didn?t add up, this case was starting to become like a bad story from a politician with dementia. Full of crazy ideas but the plot just don?t work. The only thing I could do was keep walking downtown and hope something hit me.
*Car noise* That was close??Anyway.

I?d ended up walking backwards into the wrong end of the right side of town and there it was staring me in the face like a person using the toilet who had forgotten to lock the door. This Mario guy must be getting his fix from somewhere and like a moth to a flame a junkie is to his dealer.
That?s a metaphor!

So I talk to some of my contacts in the drug ring, Hey I?m no junkie the only thing I?m addicted to is Christ?..The blood of Christ sometimes mixed with whiskey. I also once tried some fermented grapes that where at the back of my fridge?..I don?t even buy grapes?.

Old buddy of mine, who was now fleecing the sheep of this detached city, told me this new militant king pin had moved into town. They called him Bowser but word on the street was his real name was Cooper, Turns out he had some pretty heavy drugs, the kind of heavy that could dissolve your kidneys and then take your spleen for a ride down to the grocery store to pick up some bread and milk.

So I lit two cigarettes and began to get a little dizzy. Struggling to stay on my feet I reached for a passer-by, they disappeared in a puff of smoke, twisting and spinning I muttered one last word..da da da di dum do da??? zippety aye
*Thud*

This is the last known recording of James Sandon a private investigator.
Mr Sandon sadly died from a toxic combination of methylated Sprits, off milk and paint fumes the coroner believes where huffed from a bag.
He had no next of kin.

Well this isn't very rushy...

@Dr.Susse: I guess so, it's like non-stop christmas gifts from myself to myself, which is awesome because I'm like the person that loves me the most!

I wish I could do that.

Eh, it's not as great as it sounds, besides even with me having my own money I'm sure you have more games, most of my money goes to utility bills, taxes[footnote]Actually 30% of my salary goes to taxes, plus the taxes on the things I buy @_@ and if you own a car there's a tax they charge you just for that, even if you don't ever drive it![/footnote], food and cleaning supplies, trust me this whole being an adult thing sucks.

@Dr.Susse: I'm not sure what I just read, it weird and confusing, but it's bizarreness made it funny.

If you think this is slow you should have seen the first one. It's the reason I still refer to this game as post crawl. And I think that I have a total of about 30 or 40 games, maybe even 50, between the different systems I have games for.

Well crawl seems more fitting, it's been 2 days and it's still not at 35 posts, you'd think it'd get there in a day.

And OK I have way more games than that, but disregarding the ones that were gifts and the ones I stole, it's probably about 70, mostly bought in bundles though, and 20$ seems to be the most I'm willing to pay for a game, but that's because I have no use for more expensive games since they tend to be newer and I don't have anything to play them on anyway : P
But yeah, getting to decide in what you spend you're money is like the best part of working, in fact it's the only good part!

 

[Dr.Susse]

Nineteen posts.

Closer closer getting closer.

@Dr.Susse: *Attacks with snowball* This could be faster.

@Kaleion: I think it's just fine. XD
