28th sigh

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[Today, Kyon is going to rant at you all on the phone.]

Okay, that's it. I have absolutely had it with this bloody milk fiasco. And it disturbs me to think that that could potentially be entirely literal... Has anyone found any blood in their milk yet? Wait, no. On second thought, I don't want to know the answer to that.

How long is it going to last? I mean, Grady's gone and that crazed psychopath has taken over his job. Is this how it's going to be from now on? Because I really don't want to get to the point where I end up having to drink this shit myself.

(... And once again I wonder, is there any literal shitty milk? ... And then I regret even thinking of it. I think I should get back to the point here...)

At this point, I've damn near gotten myself killed a few times and some of my friends have actually dropped dead... I mean, Mayfield isn't exactly sunshine and puppies at the best of times... (And even if it were, I'm sure it'd be deadly sunlight that'd roast us to a crisp and puppies with a taste for human flesh...) ... but this is downright ridiculous, honestly.

You aren't going to drink it, and that's final.

[Stern as all fuck.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Didn't say I was.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Kyon.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Shana... How you feeling?

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

What's more important is that you're okay!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, I wasn't the one who suddenly... exploded.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to save you.... I'm sorry about Yuki.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

No worries. But, you didn't have to y'know.

... Sure, I would've probably become a shish kebab, but it's not like I wouldn't have been back the next day.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

That's not the point stupid!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I guess... I mean, I'm grateful and all, but I feel bad that you kinda ended up dying in my place?

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

.... Someone had to stop Yuki right there and then. I'd have done it for anyone [ Tsun. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, thanks anyway.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

[ She shrugs on the phone ] I was just fulfilling my mission as Flame Haze. But... does Yuki really feel like that? Was the drone being honest?

[Have some deadpan (and also kind of raspy) response]

My research has yet to come up with any bloody milk. So far, the eight kinds I've observed are three kinds of poison, spiders, razor blades, hallucinogenic, mood-altering and normal milk.

No shitty milk either.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Ah, I see. Well, that's good to know, I guess.

(As to whether or not I wanted to know however...)

[notawhale.livejournal.com]

Is it? Now you can't hope that the milk will simply be distasteful rather than outright harmful.

Though I guess e.coli is nothing to laugh about either.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, at least having some understanding of the risks involved in a given course of action is better than going in blind.

[notawhale.livejournal.com]

True enough.

At this point it's a bit of a moral game combined with roulette. Be the good guy, drink the milk - at best, you get some spiders or feel a bit sick or go funny in the head, at worst you keel over dead; but you've guaranteed saving your housemates the trouble and not hurting anyone else. Or, don't drink it, gambling that either someone else in your house will or you won't get punished - at worse, you go on a killing spree; but you've guaranteed you, yourself, won't get too badly hurt. Well, unless someone hurts you when you go on a killing spree. Or your housemate does.

Are you the kind to risk yourself or risk others?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I try to avoid unnecessary risks as much as possible. Life has a tendency to throw enough risks in without actively seeking out more.

[notawhale.livejournal.com]

So does that mean someone else in your house is drinking the milk or do you just not want to answer?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I've at least seen Crowley drinking some. Not my idea by the way, I just happened to come across him.

(I'm certainly not the self sacrificing type, but I wouldn't want to actively push anyone else into a situation like that either.)

[notawhale.livejournal.com]

So you basically don't really care if you don't have to, hm? Well, I suppose that's pretty normal. I guess you're just lucky the decision hasn't been forced on you.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Yeah, something like that.

[cameracrush.livejournal.com]

So this is worse than usual?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Just by a bit, yeah. Usually, there shouldn't be too much of a problem if you hide well enough.
