25th Inning

[Somewhere, in a warehouse uptown, Scout stands in front of a small film crew and a director. He's currently dressed as the impressive, glorious image of a young Soviet soldier who is defeating their capitalist and Nazi enemies and leading the loyal workers to victory.]

Okay, so, I stab this Nazi guy, then kick the American guy in tha face, then I say... what the crap, I can't read this. I don't speak Russian! What's it say? .... "Nothing will stop us! We are Russians, we will overcome!"* ...Are you freakin' serious? Awright, whatevah. Let's just get this over with.


[Later, back at home the efficiency apartment, a phone call!]

This is it? Geez. Well if this only lasts as long as Westport, whatevah, this'll be a breeze. They've made me inta some kinda movie star fer their lousy Commie movies, but it beats the factory 'n' all that. I mean, I guess I am a pretty sweet choice ta be the hero, right? 12 hour workdays kinda blow though. What they stick tha rest 'a you chucklenuts with?

Very much so!

A question, however: how long did Westport last? I am not certain I have ever heard, specifically.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Man… like, from when it opened till it spit the last people out? I dunno… ten days?

[rogue-crow.livejournal.com]

Quite a while...was it bad from the beginning, or did it get worse as it went on? I suspect things are only going to get worse here the longer this goes on, even if it is all relatively amusing for the moment. As soon as people begin to miss their deadlines...

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Oh it definitely got worse. Once it closed off, I spent about 4 days just... dyin'. An' not much else.

Yeah, I expect things ta get ugly real soon.

Ah, well. All the more reason to enjoy what we can now, yes?
