[quote name="Ray of Light"]As in scholarly edtions of the bible, the words of interdictor appear in italics. <font color=orange>Mr. K</font>: <i>"It's raining now and I guess that's a relief from the heat. It's hot as hell down there in the sun. Crime is absolutely rampant: rapes, murders, rape-murder combinations. "</i> <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: "You heard me. All THREE kinds of crime are present here." <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: <i>"I'm not leaving, so stop asking. I'm staying. I am staying until this shitstorm has blown itself out. Period. End of discussion."</i> <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: "I say this with a steely glint in my eye." <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: "Click here for glint photos" <font color=orange>Mr. K</font>: <i>"We're seriously considering trying to restore some order to this city since the government has totally given up (and probably couldn't do anything anyway). The police have been looting according to reports, and the honest ones are under siege at their precincts as automatic gunfire was unloaded at one near the Quarter"</i> <font color=orange>Mr. K</font>: <i>"I know it's dangerous, but I've got some experience with Foreign Internal Defense, and if there's a chance of slowing down this Planet of the Apes deterioration, someone's got to take the first step. I mean, it's Lord of the Flies out there right now. There's no order at all. No respect for private property, no respect for life."</i> <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: "I will teach the people to love again." <font color=orange>Mr. K</font>: <i>"Then we had to take a router down to city hall to try to get the city rolling on their internet. That included wading through water. God, the city is a mess when you head down Poydras that way. The Superdome looks like the Jenin refugee camp. God help this city. Whether or not it ought to be rebuilt is secondary to the real issue: can it be rebuilt? Looking around, I wouldn't know where or how to start. Good luck with that."</i> <font color=orange>Mr. K</font>: again, trying to save the city by himself <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: I take issue with his issue prioritization <font color=orange>Mr. K</font>: but also noting it isn't worth saving <font color=orange>Mr. K</font>: "Well, back to living as an insane mountain survivalist in the middle of a major city." <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: I like to imagine they're rebuilding two years from now and keep running into guys like this, armed to the teeth with long hair and crazy eyes <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: Like the Imperial Japanese stragglers still holding island positions decades later <font color=orange>Mr. K</font>: "Are there still monkeys out there?" <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: there's an old far side cartoon where a ship full of plank-limbed aliens lands outside a karate school <font color=orange>Mr. K</font>: haha yeah <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: "Here was their chance to practice their skills AND save the entire town." <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: Really, it would only get better if a gang of ruthless warlords challenged him to a trivia contest to decide ownership of the shattered city <b>Fussbett didn't want to talk about interlocutor.</b> <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: ANYWAYS: snipers taking shots at emergency vehicles. Awesome. <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: If there was ever a national mod-making crisis, THIS IS IT <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: I want to be swimming, shooting my way through NO no later than Monday. <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: (also insert Saints-themed joke about how this is the first time the Superdome has been a hot LZ) <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Where's BDR when we need his football mind most? <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: He leaves, discussion of serious matters begins in earnest <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: "HONEY CAN YOU BELIEVE THESE GUYS?!" <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: He starts nailing his desk back together. <b>Neither did Jhoh!</b> <font color=yellow>Creexul</font>: <a href=http://www.livejournal.com/users/wedrinkbitter/103845.html>http://www.livejournal.com/users/wedrinkbitter/103845.html</a> <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: Like interdictor he wants to live out some apocalypse fantasy <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: New Orleans should start charging admission <font color=yellow>Creexul</font>: I guess. :( <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: seriously. there have to a million more like these two. Start a rumor that a fortune in gold dubloons is hidden beneath the toxic sludge <font color=yellow>Creexul</font>: :([/quote]
