Pluses: If I was going to show up here, I picked a good time. It sounds like I missed out on a not so insignificant amount of crazy.

Minuses: From what I gather, that's very much relatively speaking.

Hey. I'm Dani -- Detective Reese, LAPD. And this is...an incredibly nice apartment. We're talking drug-money nice. Which should be interesting.

Funny, eh, how your mind jumps straight to drug money.

[notsopowerless.livejournal.com]

"It's always about drugs and money." Departmental saying -- I've rarely found it to be untrue.

[saunter.livejournal.com]

I like it. Since we're not in America, however, it's not a case of drugs or money. Wouldn't want you getting the wrong idea about me after all. Yeah, so I should add. Hi. Welcome to Babylon, you'll love it here. Lots of room for promotion. One of the top dogs on the force got eaten by zombies not two days ago.

[notsopowerless.livejournal.com]

You honestly think that saying only applies to America?

Hi. I'm not looking for a promotion.

[saunter.livejournal.com]

Nah, but I'm a Brit, we like to pretend.

...so, the fridge isn't plugged in, but is running.

Why is the fridge not plugged in, but running?

[saunter.livejournal.com]

Bollocks, I knew I forgot a plug.

[notsopowerless.livejournal.com]

Pardon?

[saunter.livejournal.com]

Er... Do you have to question it? Wouldn't it be better just to luxuriate?

[notsopowerless.livejournal.com]

Not remotely.

[saunter.livejournal.com]

Right. So how far's your suspension of whatsit go. If I were to say, I dunno, off the top of my head... magic. Would you accept that?

[notsopowerless.livejournal.com]

Suspension of disbelief. This morning, I was informed that my entire life was a work of fiction. I don't have any disbelief to suspend.

Yes. But it would seem like an oversimplified explanation.

[saunter.livejournal.com]

It is, yeah, but unless you've got a BS majoring in theoretical physics and theology, the long explanation wouldn't make much sense. "It just does" is a favoured explanation around here, and this one comes with really good coffee and no electricity bill.

[notsopowerless.livejournal.com]

I went in for a BA, and my required science course was biology. "It just does" is fine.

Depending on how good the coffee is.

[saunter.livejournal.com]

You ever been to a swish yuppie coffee bar?

This is better.

[notsopowerless.livejournal.com]

Do I immediately strike you as the type of person to frequent a "swish yuppie coffee bar"?

[saunter.livejournal.com]

Appearances can be deceiving.

[notsopowerless.livejournal.com]

Not in this case.

Non-progressional evolution theory?

[saunter.livejournal.com]

My fridge isn't quite a product of Intelligent Design, unless you're talking about smeg, but you've got the long and short.

[albatrossish]

False logistics. The first law says your refrigerator is impossible. Ambiguities and inconsistencies based on terminologies? We could call it an energetical inconsistency in the mathematical translation of time but that isn't a real word. Can't create something out of nothing, there's a price for everything. Twenty pieces of silver for the entire world, how much has your appliance cost you?

[saunter.livejournal.com]

It came with the apartment.

...Look, I did mention theoretical physics and theology? As George Michaels said; you gotta have faith.

[albatrossish]

You gotta have quantum instabilities?

[saunter.livejournal.com]

Catchy.
