Oookay, I think I'm going to need a pro/con list for this morning.

PRO (?)
My desktop is a half-naked guy?

CON
Wait, is that Nic Cage? Never mind.

PRO
Someone delivered these um metal wings!!

CON
...how do they work?

Well, that was...really unhelpful.

Metal wings?

Looks like someone has root admin access to every computer on the network, so don't expect the desktop to change any time soon, and be careful what you say even under encryption.

...Do you mind if I come over? My apartment is suddenly a little... cramped.

Yeah, I don't know, they might be cool but I think anyone would look kinda goofy in them. Sacrifices, I guess.

Sure, go right ahead! What happened at your place?

The ceiling was lowered sometime during the night. To about five feet.

Apparently, this is my 'lottery forfeit,' since I got a free ticket with the last gallon of milk I bought.

Oh, wow! Yeah, that sounds like it would be pretty cramped.

Hmm, I guess the wings have to do with that lottery, too. Got my ticket when I bought that new swimsuit.

Swimsuit?

I was promised a beach party!! I had to get ready.

Makes sense. Also, makes me wish I had a surfboard.

Yeah, I'm not gonna go to a beach party unprepared. Where would you even put a surfboard?

Well, right now, I couldn't even fit it in the apartment. Otherwise I'd probably just slide it under my bed.

How big is your bed? Whatever, I mean, at least you've already thought of a place for it, I guess.

Meanwhile, I'm like, moving the wings around the apartment so no one will trip over them, but it's kinda hard.

Just a twin bed. It would stick out at the end, but I could move the endtable over...

Were you going to take the wings for a test run at some point?

I was thinking this afternoon. I have to tell that John kid, 'cause he said he could help out.

You gonna come watch me fall flat on my ass a couple times?

If you fall, I'll catch you. But I don't think you're going to fall.

You, and the mattress I'm gonna put under me just in case. Thanks for the vote of confidence, though.

I've bet against you before... and that's a mistake I know better than to make ever again.

Now if only we could get the rest of the world on your side!

Positive reinforcement's kinda nice, though.

Any time.

Don't say that, I'll start demanding it.

And that would be a bad thing?

I wouldn't wanna look pushy.

Maybe I like 'pushy.'

I guess that works out nicely, then! 'Cause, let's be honest, 'pushy' is kind of a specialty of mine.

I'd noticed.
