=="The Affair" (Kamal)==

=="Ice Cream" (Janissary)==

'''Gilly''': --but since Reach fell, I've been better. Isn't that sick? Now the enemy's closing in, people like me can be useful. So, I got back on the meds.

 

 

'''James J''': What you didn't know is enough to get you in trouble. Don't tell it to us, <br />alright? Don't tell us anything.

 

'''James J:''' Okay, here we are. Hey Jan, why don't you get out too, you can ride up front on <br />the way home.

 

 

'''James J:''' Look, when you got picked up with the cops a couple weeks ago, I just did some checking around.

 

 

'''Jan:''' Oh, yeah. Uh, that was Gilly. She said Morales would give her a ride to the hospital, you don't need to drive her.

 

 

'''Jan:''' Yeah, she said this guy, Morales, was in town you know, and she's kinda visiting, so...

 

 

'''James J:''' Jan, how many times do I have to tell you - if you want to sell the lie, don't keep talking.

 

 

'''Jan:''' Yeah, yeah, last year of preschool. I remember... oh dad, put the gun down. Good grief...

'''James J:''' By the time they're 14, they're barely human. Then they give them the last set of tweaks to finish the job.

 

'''Jan: '''Kavetti's? Oh my g... we used to come here for ice cream in the summer! Dad, come on, we've got to stop!

 

 

'''Jan: '''Oh man, the special is pumpkin pie ice cream. I totally remember that! Do you remember that?

 

 

'''James J:''' It... it won't be the same Jan. (Jan heads for it) Jan! Remember, there's milk shortages, there's rationing!

 

 

'''James J:''' I couldn't risk it, Jan. Gilly had already got to this place, this dark place. You were all I had.

 

 

'''Bonita:''' Well I get stuck in traffic, I'd come home, and you'd be staring at the door with this mad face, like how dare I get home late?

 

 

'''Jersey:''' Oh I bet not! And dad's off in deep space, getting shot at, so you don't have to 'get into it' with anyone, except Simon!

 

 

'''Bonita:''' Unlike your father, Simon never thinks about anything that happened before he was born.

 

 

'''Bonita:''' He set up a pension thingy for me. For the first time in my life, I'm not terrified of what's going to happen to me when I get old.

 

 

=="Jumper"&#160;(Rani)==

[[Sarah-John Pope|'''Sarah''']] (on chatter) Hey Rani, I know it's late, but your chatter showed you available. Did you hear from Nick today?  

 

'''Rani: '''I did.

 

'''Sarah:''' So what are you doing up so late?

 

 

'''Rani:''' Well, I've only heard his voice, but he sounds dreamy. Likes to impress a girl with loud cranky billigerant tirades, and he can't be a day over 70.

 

 

'''Rani: '''That's what I'm afraid of.  

'''Rani:''' Anyway, I'm going to try [[Pallas Athena]], the [[Boston Public Library]] [[AI]]. She's kind of stuck up, but she's smart. <br />'''Sarah:''' Stuck up?<br />'''Rani: '''It's the accent. So Harvard.<br />

'''Operator: '''We have your location. EMT in two minutes or less. A record is being made of this occurance. Can you render medical assistance?

 

(crowds gather)(talking in background)

 

'''Bystander(M)1:'''&#160;&#160;Yo, guys! What happened?

 

'''Bystander(F)2:''' I don't know.

 

'''Bystander(F)3:''' He fell off the roof!

 

'''Rani:''' He...

 

'''Bystander(M)1:''' Is that bone?

 

 

(Rani's speechless as people point out his skull)<br />'''Bystander(M1:) '''Oh man!&#160;That's his skull! That's messed up!

'''Rani: '''His head... <br />[http://transmit.ilovebees.com/outbound/feel_faint.wav feel_faint]  

'''Operator: '''This is a normal reaction. Please, step away from the victim. Do you feel faint?  

 

'''Rani:''' No, I'm okay. I don't think we need to check for a pulse. I think he's dead. I'm sure he's dead.  

'''Bystander:''' (in the background) That's the guy who hangs out in front of the burrito place, that's him!

 

 

'''Technician:''' He might live on one. Roofs are off the streets - they feel safer. Homeless people live all sorts of places.

 

 

'''Technician:''' Hey, you're right. *phew* Certainly smells ripe though. And I'm greatful if any part of him's clean.

 

 

'''Rani: '''So why would his ankles be clean?  

'''Rani:''' What if he was bleeding from the ears before he fell, like... like what if something happened to make him fall?  

 

'''Technician:''' (loading the body) Then you should probably step back cuz there aint nothing you can do for this guy now. (doors close) Okay, he's loaded. Let's get him to an ER so they can slab him.<br />[http://transmit.ilovebees.com/outbound/spooky.wav spooky]

'''Sarah: '''You think that guy was just pretending to be a bum. That's why his ankles were clean. That's what you're thinking.

 

 

'''Sarah:''' Like hell it is!<br />[http://transmit.ilovebees.com/outbound/hard_sound_rifle.wav hard_sound_rifle]

'''Sarah:''' You think somebody used one just like it to drop that guy and let the fall finish him.
