40th Inning

[So Grady things putting his so-called police force in stupid costumes and making them work out in the cold is gonna get Scout down? Not a chance! He refuses to give him the satisfaction of being miserable. Cold weather? Not a problem. This guy is from Boston. Demeaning costume? Whatever, it's Christmas! He knows, much like everyone else, that something horrible is bound to happen to the town on Christmas day. So he plans to have fun up until that point, and make sure all the kids in town do too.

Any visitors to Christmas village will see him there, and he'll be sure to talk to every non-drone kid who walks in.]

So whatcha want fer Christmas, kid? Naw, don't ask that Santa, I don't trust that guy. Tell ol' Santa Scout what ya want, awright?

[He'll also ask any adults who wander in:] Hey, anyone plannin' on havin' a Christmas party or somethin'? We really oughta!

Freakin' tell me about it, kid. It ain't like I chose it. This is Grady's idea of comedy, trust me.

I was about to ask who you pissed off to get this job, but, really, "pissed off" wouldn't begin to land you this kind of retardation. Something that deserves that fucking costume has to involve stealing the guy's car, taking a shit on his rug, breaking all his windows, and fucking the guy's wife.

Course, considering where we are, all you probably had to was fucking exist.

[He busts out laughing at that.] Holy crap, kid, I WISH. I wish I could give Grady more trouble ta deserve this, but I guess it's just cuz I been here so long that he wants ta pick on me.

Like last week me 'n' some guys got notices that we were cops now workin' fer Grady. An' if that ain't stupid enough, THIS was our "first assignment". What a load.

Man, if he's going to give you that kind of shit, you should at least get to do something fun first.

Wait, seriously? Shit is so sketch they need undercover cops at a Santa's village in the 1950s? So Grady either totally gets off on grown men dressing as elves, or some bullshit is totally about to go down.

Yeah, ya know, after that call from tha Mayor leaked, I figured this place is beyond sketchy. But so far? It's been totally quiet. That Santa over there is really friggin' inta bein' Santa, that's about it. I ain't seen anythin' weird yet.

Man, if anything's gonna happen, it'll probably be on Christmas. Why would they set all this Christmas crap up if they were just gonna do it a week before?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Totally. But I was hopin' maybe I'd overhear somethin' juicy, ya know?

I'm sure come Christmas day, we'll all be locked inside our houses dealin' with man-eatin' trees or whatever.
