Wade responds to that observation with a shrug. "Hey, aside from the jackass gods who don't seem to give a shit about us beyond our use as living batteries it ain't so bad. At least they had the good sense to let us have free rein instead of hookin' us up to machinery like we're in The Matrix. Somethin' about that flick always bugged me-- I mean, I wouldn't trust Keanu Reeves to hold the door open for me."

He's getting off-topic. Again. Kind of a chronic condition of his, really.

"Anyway, it's a helluva lot better than the place I used to live. At least this place doesn't have a dude with a hard-on for torture and a tenuous grasp on the Hippocratic Oath. Oh, and uh... I'd love a drink, thanks. Whatever you got'll be fine."
