SPIDERS: It's not a game.

[The Wizard]

Ready for a bus ride Iptuous? Are you ready, Spidey?

[The Johnny]

I was gonna change my vote from Howl to Iptuos, since his voting for Fred is pointless and irrational, but i guess theres no need to give the final nudge.

It is 7 votes to Bus someone right?

:/ Damn.Spend the day with Nursey and almost get a toof out, and miss all the fun.  I gotta be gone most of tomorrow, too. Possibly Wednesday, also. Just letting you guys know.

It's too late to be of much use in teh voting, but I'll vote for Ippie, to make for a solid vote.

[Elder Iptuous]

You horrible little sacks!  You wet paper bags of .... unsightly....  uncontrolled..... ssssgsga!
What is wrong with you?!
Why can't you see that it would be so much better if you just DO. WHAT. YOU. ARE. TOLD.
Everything would operate ssssooo ssssmooothly, and there would be no need for these
ridiculous lies ... if you would only    comply    .
The minimal price would be extracted with the greatest of efficiency, and we give you so many wonderful ways to dull any ... discomfort ... that may accompany it.
...
But no.
Here we are.
....
So celebrate now.  Pat yourselves on your soft sweaty backs in congratulations for routing me out!
But don't kid yourselves into thinking that you are free just yet...

Iptuous sat in front of his computer at home, angrily surfing various chat rooms and websites.  He usually took pleasure in dropping subtle comments into conversations, turning things in just the wrong direction.  The new technology made his life so much easier; but today, he was on a mission.  They had to pay.

[Dawn] Im bored.
[Arachno23] u should have another drink.
[Dawn] good idea lol.

[Bobby] wut the fuk is up with school
[Bobby] gonna start a protest
[Arachno23] what's the point? No one will listen anyway
[Arachno23] nothing you do will ever matter.
[Bobby] ur right.  Fuck it.  
[Bobby] Nvr mind

[Freeky] squee! Gonna go out and look for the WEIRD tonight!
[Arachno23] Don't bother.  Any fun you may have will be shallow and meaningless.
[Freeky] Why the fuck are you, some sort of Diabolus Ex Vacuus or something?
[Arachno23] What?
[Freeky] Click the link, genius.

Iptuous clicked, and started reading.  Then he clicked again.  And again.  From Chandler's Law to Dropping a Cow to What It Says On The Tin to Having a Heart to Soul Jar to Epileptic Trees to Schrodinger's Butterfly to Downer Ending to Nightmare Fuel.

Click.
Click.
Click.

And some say he's still clicking, even now...


One of the Spiders has been eliminated.  Iptuous is out of the game.

The last spider clung to a minaret, high above The City.  In it's heart, it knew that another of it's kind had gone away.  It had to be clever now.  It had to be smart.  And it knew it was.  Smarter than all these... snacks.  It would move silently, it would move swiftly.  It would make sure everything went according to plan.  It would start tomorrow.

The Spider did not subsume anyone this round.

"Hey, mister."

"Yeah?"

"WEEEOOOEEEOOO!"

"What the fuck?"

Peter jumped up and down.  "Come on, you cabbage!  Show some life!"

"Could you please go away?"

"Don't be a sheep!  Even black sheep are still sheep!"

"I'm serious—"

"SERIOUS?  You're like '1984', only 26 years late!"

"Ok, look.  If you don't stop bothering me, I'm going to call the police."

Peter stopped abruptly.  "Really?  You'd do that to me?"

"If you don't stop bothering me.  I've got more important things to do."

"Like what?  Work your job, get your pay?"

"If you must know, yes.  I have these things called 'bills' and 'rent'.  I don't suppose you'd know about those things, from the looks of you."

"Hey..."

"Go play your silly little games with someone else.  I really don't have time right now."


Discordian conversion: UNsuccessful.
