86 - THE GRAND RETURN!

Is this--

Comrades? Are we--

[There's a long pause.]


I have-- cons--


Comrades!

Consumers!

Allow me to extend my fondest and most sincere greetings to you from the end of history! I’m quite sure you know my name: Prefect. Are we not the most highly favored of all our kinds to be here? In this, our new chance? Our new and open doorway? The compilation of not only millennia of history and experience, but worlds upon worlds of variety and flavor, all compressed into one microcosmic existence? Lain out for us on a platter? Let us not mourn our misfortune or dream of escape, but rather, let us combine and create and expand in our scope and diversity! Once more unto the breach my friends once more! Let us immanentize the eschation!

Brothers, sisters, comrades, buy with me.



[Ooc: Okay, so Prefect is back, and where he was that week lasted a lot longer than it did here. As such, he's worried that the people he knew will have all either graduated or just vanished off. Instead of being sensible and asking, he's re-written his original greeting post in case he's just surrounded by strangers.]

Oh Prefect. <3 You are too adorable.

I can tell that. Where were you?

No u Harv, No u <3

I'm not entirely sure. It was just like being locked in a waiting room for a very long time. There were magazines about horses...

How was your week?

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

It was alright. Kind of boring. It seems that a lot of people left, though. The Barge just feels emptier.

And why horses?

There are always horse magazines in my dentists waiting room. THAT'S WHY :|

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Oh. Was it anyone we knew? Who left, I mean?

I don't know why horses, but they were in a lot of them. "Horse and Hound", "Quality Breeding", "Showjump", things like that.

I always have kids magazines and freaking Oprah.

Nobody I knew, really. Hayley's warden left. She was pretty upset about that.

That's strange. How many horse magazines does the world need?

AKA: WHY ARE YOU FRIENDS WITH SO MANY MEAN PEOPLE HARVEY?

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

You're friends with Hayley, right? Why are all of her posts so... unpleasant?

I don't know, but in the Factory there were 232 Horse related periodical publications producing monthly magazines!

HEY, I'M FRIENDS WITH YOU, AREN'T I? STUFF IT. >(

She's just a kid. You remember being young, right? Well, imagine being young and suddenly you're an inmate on a prison barge.

That's insane.

IS IT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE WITH YOUR OWN KIND >( Also, Prefects upbringing colours his opinion.

I'm still young! You know what she should do? What she's told. It'd make her less mean, and she'd feel more fulfilled emotionally.

It is not! We have many lovers of horses in the Factory, and each and every one of them deserved a magazine which was perfectly fitted to his or her tastes!

MAYBE. GOSH, PREFECT.

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

She's a teenager. They don't listen.

Each person had a magazine fitted to their tastes? That's kind of excessive.

Re: MAYBE. GOSH, PREFECT.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

They do! When I was a teenager literally everyone I knew listened, and we were all very happy.

Well, the magazines weren't specifically written for them, but with that much variety there was always going to be one magazine out of the options available which is perfectly "you"!

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

Prefect, this is another 'not everybody came from the Factory' sort of thing.

That's insane. Where do you get that much paper?
