099 // Sam Tyler objects to your pranks. [Voice.]

[bythe_books]

[Sam's voice is terse and agitated, LOL AS USUAL. When he speaks, his voice is clipped and impatient, like whenever he's about to launch a crazy Sam Tyler diatribe.]

Alright. Okay. Who's the joker who thought it'd be funny to place buckets of water on top of the doors? Y'know... I don't even give a damn about the water, but the bowl... God. It nearly took my head out on the way down. [Because this is Sam Tyler and his luck is horrible.]

[Muttering:] Guess I should've been happy it wasn't pigs' blood.

[OOC: GOT THE COMPUTER PROBLEM FIXED. Graphics card died, had to be taken out, BLAHBLAH. Anyway, didn't want to waste another post on it, so HERE. Have a Sam one instead.]

Sam, don't give them ideas about next time!

[bythe_books]

Ide-- Oh God, what was I thinking?

[toldastory]

That the water was rather cold and someone was a complete git?

[bythe_books]

Yeah, that about sums it up.

[toldastory]

Warden or inmate do you think?

[bythe_books]

With the types we get on both sides, I wouldn't put it past either. [But he totally thinks it's an inmate.]

Private.

[toldastory]

This something to worry about, ya think?

Private.

[bythe_books]

Doubt it. Looks like it was just a little prank. 'Course, we've got something to worry about if somebody decides this is worth seeking revenge over.

MURPHY FAILS AT SYMPATHY. THIS ONCE.

[whateverthemess.livejournal.com]

...You got a bowl of water dumped on your head.

IT'S OKAY, SAM STILL AWKWARDLY LOVES YOU

[bythe_books]

Y'know, would've been fine with that if the bowl didn't take a dive for my head, too.

One word: closet. :|

[whateverthemess.livejournal.com]

You're quick. Worst it could give you is a concussion. [SHAMELESS GRIN.]

It will be GLORIOUS

[bythe_books]

I think my head's been banged up enough at this point, Murphy.

[darknessb4me]

No, you should have been happy it wasn't ammonia.

[bythe_books]

Always with the silver linings.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

Pigs blood? Is this a reference I'm not getting?

[bythe_books]

Unless you're a fan of 70s horror, yeah.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

I wasn't around in the 70s. Can you explain?

[bythe_books]

I really don't think it's a good idea to lend you any inspiration, so I'm gonna have to pass on that one.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

Pleeeeease?

[bythe_books]

[DRYLY, in that Sam Tyler way:] And somehow, I find myself unmoved.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

[DEADPAN.] Drat.

Paranoia time

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Is there any way that we could get the 'water' tested? I don't want to wake up tomorrow and find I've got a slow moving acid burn on my head.

THE BEST TIME

[bythe_books]

Right, uh... pretty sure it was just water.

CRANE HAS IT OFTEN.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I doubt it. Water is petty, chemicals can create blindness or even tumors.

[bythe_books]

Feeling any side-effects?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Yes, actually. I am.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Looks like it wasn't just you, at least.

I think that makes it better.

PRIVATE so as to avoid giving ideas

[bythe_books]

Long as the prankster doesn't escalate things in the way that only the Barge knows how... yeah. A little better.

PRIVATE

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Hopefully not - and as long as nobody seeks a ridiculous kind of vengence for this either. That'd be just as bad, and just as likely, knowing this place.

PRIVATE

[bythe_books]

Yeah. I mean, chance of a concussion aside, it's not all bad. Definitely not worth seeking revenge over, but you never know.

So far, looks like me, Martha, Crane, that Akio bloke and Elle were hit by it. Don't think any of 'em are likely to go looking for revenge, at least.

Re: PRIVATE

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

No, not really. Unless you are Elle, then it comes with electrocution as standard. Which, if it was only her, I'd be a lot more annoyed by this, as it could definitely be read as a deliberate attempt to hurt her.

As it is, I don't see any body seeking revenge for something like this.

PRIVATE

[bythe_books]

Right. I don't see any pattern here, so as long as nobody overreacts-- [Muttering] like it looks like Rayne's poised to do-- this should pass without incident.

Re: PRIVATE

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Exactly. And with luck, she'll tone it down a bit now she's fired an angry warning off.
