[001] Finding what I need

[itsnotaddiction.livejournal.com]

Okay, so I know I should be getting my room assignment or whatever, but now that I'm dead and in heaven or where ever the hell this place is, things I should be doing don't seem half so important anymore. (Not that they were all that important to me when I was alive... but I digress.) To tell you the truth, there's really only one thing on my mind right now and I think it's important that all of you help me with it or I'll go crazy.

So, what I'm trying to say is Does anyone know where I can find a cigarette?




Please.

If you send out a distress signal to a girl calling herself Clockstopper drop out the L, I'm pretty sure she'll hook you right up. If you've got cash, there's a bodega around the corner and down the block from the west entrance of the MAC.

Oh, and for the record, this isn't heaven. And I'd venture that you're not dead, but after talking to some other folks around here, I wouldn't write off that possibility as quickly as I would normally.

[itsnotaddiction.livejournal.com]

Clockstopper, eh? Does she have some kind of magic cockblocking power?

Unfortunately, all my money seemed to disappear when I got here - along with my smokes, my gun and my PSP. I still have my clothes though. I guess that's something...

Are you sure we're all not dead? 'Cause I'm pretty sure I was. I took like three dozen shots to the chest. I'm the new 50 Cent! And, while I have an incredibly high opinion of myself, I don't think I, or anyone else on earth, would be able to survive that.

Yup, that's her. She's kinda short, blond, and really cute; she crawls a lot around on the boards, so I'm certain she'll chime in eventually. I wouldn't know from experience, man. She's the one who likes to tell people to leave out the L.

Well, for what it's worth, last night I was talking to a guy who watched his dad get blown to bits and yet, somehow, is currently leading a normal healthy happy life somewhere that's not here. I mean, if he can do it, so can you, yeah? Maybe you are just that uber.

Though, I mean, if you're here, that probably means you're a 'meta', right? Not one of those super-heal guys, are you like me?

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

Are people talking about me again?

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

You're that popular, Nix.

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I feel like people only want me for my cigarettes.

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Not me, babe.


They may come for the cigarettes, but they stay for the Nix.

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

You're too kind.

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Eh. I try.


Hey, how's that friend of yours, by the way? She doing alright?

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

[itsnotaddiction.livejournal.com]

Well, I wasn't a meta on earth, that's for sure. The guys in the lab told me I should start feeling my powers come on within the next few days but, so far, nothing.

[itsnotaddiction.livejournal.com]

Did someone say cigarettes?

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

I bet you and her make quite a team. She's quiet, but not in a quiet way. In a speak softly and carry a big stick or maybe just adamantium claws instead -- sort of way.

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

Suuuure did.

why do i not have a surprised icon

[phallboy.livejournal.com]

MATT.

What the fuck.

No seriously. What the fuck.

When did you get here? Where are you? I have so many cigarettes, okay, seriously, WHERE ARE YOU.

When were you dead?!

[itsnotaddiction.livejournal.com]

Can I have one? Pretty, pretty please with a cherry on top?

I'll pay you back, I swear!

_{I'm Matt, by the way.}

[itsnotaddiction.livejournal.com]

MELLO?!

[itsnotaddiction.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank God!

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Well, when you do start getting the tingle, just don't start off by throwing yourself off of buildings to see if you can fly. And no that's not meant to be an insult to your intelligence, cause yes it just so happens that I do know somebody who tried.

[phallboy.livejournal.com]

Where are you?

Re: why do i not have a surprised icon

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Please don't tell me you two are going to go around calling yourselves, like, M&M.

[timestopping.livejournal.com]

Hey, someone who's not bitching about being stuck here!

Don't worry about it. Just lemme know where you are, I'll do my whole Clockstopper thing, and woosh, next thing you know you'll have a carton in your back pocket and you won't even have to see my face.

[phallboy.livejournal.com]

Wait, you do?

Don't give him ideas.

Re: why do i not have a surprised icon

[phallboy.livejournal.com]

I'll beat you, Hulk-boy, I swear I will.

Yeah, and no, he needs a different letter or something. Fuck oh god this is so fucked up.

[itsnotaddiction.livejournal.com]

I'm in the library like two blocks from that MAC place, using their internet.


Where are you?
