I understand that the voices following us all are not reliable sources of information; but still, I do wonder who, exactly, have I tried to kill with a forklift.


Smoke-jūn, may I meet with you sometimes this week? I'm in need of some advice that I think you are best equipped to give.

XDDD Every MST3K thread is GOLD you don't even ILU so hard

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

You are, I hope, entertained.

daww thanks bb! They're a lot of fun to write

[npc-kun.livejournal.com]

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

I should certainly hope not. They wouldn't be much good in a salad.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

What in tarnation is a forklift?

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

A device for transporting a small amount of cargo; I've seen one in the Farm, and while it's certainly possible to kill someone with it, it seems far from instinctive.

[spandexisyouth]

Why does someone need a device to lift forks? That is what hands are for.

... oh Gai <333

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

A forklift is thus named for using a forklike extension to lift cargo. A useful device, but not much of a weapon.

:D <3333 Also, gonna app Carmen in Feb. Spread out apps/arrivals

[spandexisyouth]

Oh! So it is like a pitchfork!

FGHGHKFKL <3333

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Rather more sophisticated, but the same linguistic logic applies.

Heehee. <333333333333333333333

[spandexisyouth]

I see! Why would they say anything about killing with pitchforks?

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

They're messin' with your head, too.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

It seems my head is not much of a challenge.

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

They seem to be gettin' to everyone lately.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Such is the nature of our circumstances. They say trouble shared is trouble halved.

[crimsonmischief]

A forklift seems quite a... drastic way to kill someone.

[npc-kun.livejournal.com]

[crimsonmischief]

No, I've been told that that's the garbage compactor~!

Or was it the asphalt paver...?

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Drastic and singularly ineffective. It is much easier to dodge than a combine.

[crimsonmischief]

You sound like you've had experience with such things.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

[Pentap, then:]

A trifle.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Advice? From me? Well alright.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

My thanks. If you would be so kind as to come to my house, I will see a meal prepared for your trouble.

[OOC: quicklog please? ^^]

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

[Sure thing~ You can go ahead and start when Huo replies XD]

That's fine and all but just one problem - I have no idea where you live.

[Having set the time and given Smoke instructions as to how to get to his house, Huo made some effort toward making the promised meal a good one. The steamed buns weren't very fancy food, but he was good at making them and the vegetables were fresh. It was compensation for Smoke's time, but it was more than that - considering the questions he was going to ask, it might wind up serving as an apology of sorts, as well.

At the appointed time, the table was set, and Huo sat at it, waiting, idly toying with his wooden flute. Along with the freshly cooked food, the table also held a small, closed basket; through the wicker, light gleamed on something within.]
