Wow, God, that's not cool.

I mean, you could make a selfie out of it, but I really don't recommend it.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Freedom fighting doomsday preppers don't really love it when cops show up on their doorstep to tell them they can't shoot at their neighbors for playing music too loud.

[itsnotaonesie]

Jesus. Montana doesn't screw around, does it? Gotta admit, that's a lot more intense than I was expecting.

[theweakhavepurpose]

It's a whole state of people who think laws don't apply to them. But really want them to apply to other people.

[itsnotaonesie]

I mean, I'm sure you can find people like that all over the country? Jeez though, are they really that bad?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Of course they're not all like that. But I don't get called out when things are going fine or people are getting along.

[itsnotaonesie]

I-- right, duh. I know that.

[And now Peter feels like a ding dong good job peter]

What's the weirdest call you've ever gotten? Or was that the naked yoga chicks?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Naked yoga was definitely the most bizarre call I got for piloting out of there.

Probably a custody battle over one of those mounted singing fish plaques. A couple was breaking up and they couldn't decide who got the stupid fish and started shooting at each other.

No one got the fish. Damn thing is in our evidence locker and I swear it still goes off sometimes and we've ripped out the batteries and pulled all the wires.

[itsnotaonesie]

Wait, one of those... those Billy Bass or whatever things? They were fighting over that?

I hope you're just messing with me because that's actually super creepy.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Yeah those things. And I am absolutely not making it up.

[Also true fact - same woman used those things rigged up to a lock in order to secure her bunker in New Dawn]

She's pretty obsessed with fishing.

[itsnotaonesie]

The shooting a dude over the singing bass part, or the singing bass being haunted part? I guess both are equally disturbing.

[see there's obsessed with fishing and then there's BATSHIT]

[theweakhavepurpose]

Neither.

Though the haunted part might be Rook fucking with us by sneaking batteries back into it. The shooting was definitely a thing.

[itsnotaonesie]

Oooooh, fish pranks. See, now, fish pranks are fun, I can get behind that.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Fish pranks are not fun after a twelve hour shift and it's one am and that thing starts fucking singing and scaring the shit out of you.

[itsnotaonesie]

...Okay, fair. I take it back.

Was this Rook known for pulling pranks, or was the fish thing like, a one off thing?

[theweakhavepurpose]

No he did it all the time.

Just usually not to me. More to Hudson and the Sheriff.

[itsnotaonesie]

He played pranks on the Sheriff, too? Did he ever get in trouble or was it more of a "oh that Rook's up to his shenanigans again" sorta thing?

[theweakhavepurpose]

He got stuck on desk duty filing all our paperwork for three weeks once. The Sheriff has no sense of humor whatsoever.

[itsnotaonesie]

That in itself is actually kinda funny, not gonna lie. And hey, you didn't have to do paperwork for three weeks, right? That counts as a win.

[theweakhavepurpose]

It absolutely does. I kicked back at my desk and watched youTube and ate candy and grinned like a fucking asshole the whole damn time.

[itsnotaonesie]

Oh man, livin' the dream. If he was dropping Billy Bass's Greatest Hits on you, he totally deserved that.

[theweakhavepurpose]

He did.

But uh... I hope he's okay. I hope they're all fine back home.

[itsnotaonesie]

[Peter doesn't verbally reply, but he does nod in understanding. He knows that concern all too well, considering the state of things back home before he'd arrived here.]

I've... heard that time doesn't move forward back where we came from, as long as we're here. Not really sure how much I believe that, or if it's even a good thing if it's true? I guess it depends.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Someone also told me that we don't remember this when we go home. So it's like we never even left.

I don't know which part of that is more horrifying, that the world is paused while we're here, or that it's gonna fuck with our minds even when we've left.

[itsnotaonesie]

[Well that's a fun thought isn't it]

...You know, I'd say that the world being paused is worse, if only because not remembering this place if we go back doesn't sound all that horrible. At the same time though, I don't like the idea of forgetting all the people I met here? So... actually, that's a tough one.
