There are only so many lanyards one can make.

I thought the monsters rather punctuated some of the tepidity.
I certainly am not suggesting an eagerness to return our three year interstellar physics lesson, but there has to be a better antidote to summertime malaise than a visit to the New Moore Municipal Fire Station for a scintillating lecture on remembering to change the batteries in your smoke detector.
One child has been left behind today, Principal Dinkerton.
My mind remains nurture-free.

i kept waitng for the trucks to transform itno drones or some shit
otherwsie they seem sorta fuckign pointless

[roseate]

When was the last time something was on fire in New Moore?
What do they do all day?
These are questions I need answers to.

dirks apartment almost msyteriously burn down when he trapped me there last week

[roseate]

It's not a mystery if we know how it started.

[allthezpms]

It almost seems TOO normal, doesn't it?

[roseate]

Normal is a highly subjective term.

[allthezpms]

"Mundane" might fit better, then. Either way, it's like we didn't just spend the past several nights running away from monsters.

[roseate]

Perhaps that is run of the mill for some parties.
Aren't you supposed to be supervising?

i dunno rose the general populace could probably use some training in the proper handling of sick fires since im around
but haters gonna hate

[roseate]

I don't think you're using that sentence ironically enough to not be mocked for it.

[callbacks]

which one

[roseate]

The fact that you have to ask says volumes.

[notjohnsmith]

At the moment, discussing the boredom of life on this island is tempting fate in a manner that could end as poorly as many Greek tragedies.

[roseate]

I think "ending poorly" is statistically likely no matter what I say.

[notjohnsmith]

Don't say I didn't warn you.

However, if escaping boredom is that important to you, there may be an opportunity coming up.

[roseate]

And what would that be?

its a bit depressing to think that somebody somewhere out there thought that it was necessary to treat changing batteries as a skill that needs to be taught

[roseate]

Helpful reminders I could understand, but the demonstration did seem to border on excessive.

[maiditoutalive]

its possible they were worried you might insert them incorrectly
we wouldnt want the device to not start properly
its very dangerous when things do nothing

[roseate]

Considering the device's function, that is not too far off the mark.
But,
There's a diagram.
It's right there in pictorials.
There are several euphemisms I could use to describe how needless this is.
