Open Bar: Subpoenaed by Congress, but still refusing to testify

[altered]

Everyone makes promises that reality prevents them from keeping.

I know for a goddamn fact that every single person I know would be helping me out with this situation if they could. But I've seen their situations. They CAN'T unless they want to be where I am or worse. When your budget looks like: "food, rent, pick one" and I'm desperate for both food and housing, subjecting your income to my life puts you in the same state I'm in. And the bitch of it all is that it ONLY brings you down to my level, I'm not elevated to yours.

So I don't blame my friends for saying "No, I can't, I'll ask around though". If they didn't, I'd be worse off: I'd have no friends AND no place to live.

The Doktor's input:

Going back never works.  At least it works so seldom that that's how you bet.

That's not a reason to not do it, though.  Everyone gets to be a dumbass once a year or so, and if this is the way you'd prefer to be a dumbass, there are plenty of worse ways to go about it.

I've heard they don't give out rain-checks, so I guess I'll be a dumbass before 2020 arrives.

As do I.  The difference between when Nullified first showed up here and now is pretty dramatic.

Under her old name, she was defeated.  The universe was pissing on her Cheerios, aided and abetted by her beaten-down demeanor.

Not sure what happened between then and now, but Nullified has the right amount of grit to start making the world react to her, rather than the world mostly just happening to her.

From what I've read Null has this scrappy attitude (in the positive sense) where you get kicked but don't stay down, and it's something we all should strive for being... I don't know what else to say.

Or when you get kicked, you wear the bastard's skin as a suit while you spray nerve gas on his family at Christmas time.

One or the other.

This is basically my attitude. I'll take what I can get, and I don't know HOW to stop. I'm fucking ROYALTY BY BIRTHRIGHT like EVERY HUMAN BEING BEFORE AND AFTER ME and I don't give a fuck if my dominion is a pile of dirt and a dead rat in a corner, I'm fucking ruling it.

I've been at square zero more times than most people realize you can get to it and survive the trip back and I'm sure I'll be going back ten more times before the end of the fucking decade.

They keep pulling the rug out from under me but what they haven't learned is that shit is ruining the goddamn rug and sooner or later they won't be able to pull that tired ass joke anymore because it's hard to fuck up my footing when you're just tugging some stray threads held together by dust bunnies and hope.

I WILL WIN even if it's only by forcing them to trip on my fucking bones, the cocksuckers.

Cain, check out "Antonaise" in the waiting room. 

It's like they aren't even trying anymore.

Back when I were a wee lad, spambots at least tried to look like real people.

Nullified, I have been back at square zero so many times THAT, is my kingdom. I squat in a bush and plot, skinning wild animals to wear so I can absorb their powers. I watch, I wait, I prowl, I hibernate, waiting, because I've pounced too soon before, this next time may be my last pounce, so I'm going to make damn sure it's worth it. The brush is safe, hidden from view. When next I emerge I'll either be unstoppable, or it's done, and I've snagged a juicy little rabbit that may be the key to all my goals. Not skinning this one, no no, just need some modifications to the burrow's openening so I can squeeze in with everyone else.

We've got it this time, the worst wolf in sheep's clothing is the one that honestly sides with the sheep.

I'm going to Black Friday tomorrow.  I'm not shopping, I'm just there to observe stupid humans and maybe make things worse.

I feel like I'm in a zombie flick.  The waiting room is full of shamblers.

I did that a few years back when they were still doing the midnight rampage thing. My schtick was to grab carts, push them into particularly congested areas and abandon them.
