Can we throw my insanity on the bonfire, Aimee?
Saffron: You won't tell anyone about me breaking down? Mal: I won't. Saffron: Then I won't tell anyone how easily I got your gun out of your holster. Mal: I'll take that as a kindness.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We can throw anything(one) you'd like. We could roast wienies and marshmallows, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We had a guest bring a chair to a Guy Fawkes party once.
He was weird.

As long as it's not toxic.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Seems out of character for him to not have thought of that earlier, though.
Nah -- he was probably just assuming, as I was, that "large mutation" implied superpowers. 'Cause he's Jack.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Interview-ma to Wolfram, if it isn't too late.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I hope it's not, Fred, since I forgot to chime in with a "good luck, Wolfram" earlier.

Like, "And I can take them away any time I want to"?
I guess that's the implication. He says we're all responsible people, you see, so we should regulate our own behavior. Some people are angry about it; I'm just bemused.
I have no idea what prompted the e-mail from Big Boss. I'm not in the gossip loop because, wait for it, I don't really take breaks. It's possible he's trying to squeeze blood from a stone, since we're all handling as much work as we possibly can, and if the work isn't getting done, it certainly isn't because we're chat-happy slackers.
Along those lines, it's also possible Very Important People are about, and that Big Boss doesn't want them to get the erroneous impression that we aren't getting our work done because we're lazy.
On that note, I now shall toddle downstairs for a quick smoke and ostentatiously ignore any coworkers I happen to run into along the way.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Good luck, Wolfram.
Ugh. Lunch break is over. Need to go back to work. So don't want to.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Along those lines, it's also possible Very Important People are about, and that Big Boss doesn't want them to get the erroneous impression that we aren't getting our work done because we're lazy.
I had a job where I was not allowed to read at my desk during lunch breaks, as they didn't want some exec to mistakingly think I was slacking.
