[People can build bonfires and burn effigies all they want -- some guys (lowercase G) have work to do!

One of whom is Brock. He has work to do.

That work is, of course, patching up the huge fuckoff hole in the side of his dumb cabin. He is out in the woods right now, though he's more staring at the huge fuckoff hole than doing any sort of repair. How does one even fix a hole in a log cabin. Does he need to knock down the whole wall ...

Making a frustrated noise, he flips his journal open.]

I lost my lumberjack. Does anyone cut down trees for fun, or do I have to go find an axe?

-- and Crowley. I hope you got a steering lock for your goddamn car.

[Molotov also sips beer casually!]

Darling, there is a difference between not giving into baser instincts, and behaving irrationally. You are behaving irrationally.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[Well you're behaving like a bitch!!!!!!!!! Brock makes a face that suggests this.]

Well I think it's dumb you have an office.

[molotov]

I do not care what you think about that, because I did not go out seeking the office. The castle gave it to me. Anyway, do not be an asshole, Samson.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

How am I being an asshole? [He's being defensive, not an asshole! There's a difference.]

[molotov]

How are you not?

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[Flatly] You just called me an irrational idiot.

[molotov]

Nyet, I said you were behaving irrationally. And I did not call you an idiot.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

I don't see the difference. And yeah, you did.

[molotov]

Behaving irrationally is not the same as being irrational, and I said you are an idiot sometimes.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Oh, "sometimes." World of difference, there.

Anyway, behaving irrationally -- you're doubletalking me, Mol. [ANGRY BEER SIP] It's the same thing.

[molotov]

It is a world of difference! "Sometimes" means you are intrinsically not an idiot, and are only choosing to act idiotically.

The same goes for behaving irrationally. It is not doubletalk.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Okay, well -- right now you said I'm an idiot. And right now I'm acting irrationally. Which means you called me an irrational idiot -- why are we arguing about this?

[molotov]

Because you are behaving like an irrational idiot, Brock. Watch.

[And then she takes another sip from her beer before calling out:] Castle, we need some logs.

[And then there is a pile of logs.]

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

That's cheating.

[POUTING. MANLY POUTING.]

[molotov]

It is not a game, Brock.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

You can still have honor about stuff. Wishing is such bullshit.

[molotov]

"Honor"? Brock, there is no "honor" about anything here! You think the food is less magical because you get it from the kitchen instead of having a ghost bring it to you? You think that suffering somehow serves some purpose? You will go on losses either way. You have been kidnapped by a magic castle -- honor is no longer in play.

Now stop being ridiculous and use that wood.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

I'm not using your wished-up wood, Molotov.

[molotov]

Use it or I will wish for a rocket launcher and blow the cabin up.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[Observe as Brock comically drops his beer at that statement.]

You do that and I'm breaking all your limbs.

[molotov]

Why? You apparently love to suffer, and I am only accommodating that desire by giving you more work.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[And now he's making choking motions with his hands. He doesn't even know he's doing it.]

It's not -- I'm not going to let you keep blowing up my shit!

[molotov]

[Molotov just casually sips more beer!]

And I won't, if you use the wood.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[Choke that air, Samson! You can do it!]

That's the stupidest ultimatum I ever heard. Why do you care?

[molotov]

Same reason you will not marry me, I suppose. Because I think it is stupid.
