J0h4nn was shouting at at the top of his lungs, but it was too late.
Panic erupted as silence fell. A flood of active noise controlling waves had swallowed the music hall, canceling out the faintest of cries to the loudest explosions. People were screaming, but he couldn't hear them. The DJ he was talking to, disappeared from his side, and was suddenly halfway across the room running and ducking. J0h4nn watched. Somehow, he had forgotten how to do the same. He could do no more than stand there, his heart sinking deeply into his gut as he looked all around himself at the muted chaos.
When the peace officers materialized to escort J0h4nn away he was very cooperative. His vitals proved to be functioning at normal rates and thus, there was no calculable risk that he would rather succumb to hysteria than submit to the authorities. He required no stabilizing as the IDentification roBOT punched a needle into his arm for DNA. Because he was tame and unblinking, the IDBOT subsequently completed a perfect retinal scan.
YOUR ILLEGAL USE OF AIRWAVES THROUGH PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SOUND SYSTEMS ENDS NOW. YOU MUST BE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. YOUR CASE WILL BE REVIEWED AND ANY RECORDS OF PREVIOUS OFFENSES WILL DETERMINE YOUR SENTENCING.
He was surprised by a line of live text on his e-screen, floating below the PEAce KEEper announcement in the forefront of his sight.
|236UL4T0|2: Have any questions?
They were hundreds of meters underground, far below even the deepest subway train. Something about all this was wrong, he thought, the underground had been a well-guarded secret for an entire decade. J0h4nn struggled to make sound of what he wanted to say.
Who made the report?
|236UL4T0|2: Please check our FAQ.
WHO MADE THE REPORT? WHO MADE THE DAMN REPORT? WHO FUCKING MADE THE DAMN REPORT? WHO FUCKING MADE THE DAMNED REPORT? TELL ME WHO FUCKING MADE THE DAMN REPORT? TELL ME!
But as the last words from the live representative dematerialized, another announcement from the peace officers appeared in their place.
...CONVICT ...TEMPORARY EMPLOYEE ...J0H4NN UPLANDIS ...FOR YOUR REPEATED OFFENSES IT HAS BEEN CONCLUDED THAT YOU MAY NOT BE NOT CAPABLE OF REHABILITATION.


W1lla 7chaikov5ky once pulled up some aluminum foil (something she actually did more than once but was now thinking of a particular memory of one), she had marveled over how large a piece it was for most sheets of aluminum she found were either tightly scrunched up balls or scraps the size of her thumb. It was covered in filth, like most things were, and she remembered lining the sheet up with the horizon to study it more closely. It was covered in greasy black stuff, caked thickly with the remainders of burnt oil and greyish lard (which was probably why it was so well preserved). The LOC4SAN (location for sanitation) she was assigned to for the day looked just like that, especially since the sun hadn't risen just yet and it was still dawn. The landfill was no more than a jumble of jagged hills, with mounds of so full of shapes the concept of shape became obsolete.
It only became grayer when she equipped her protective mask and breathing apparatus over the cowl of her work suit. The polycarbonate shield that allowed her to see didn't have any smudges, but did have an awful lot of scratches (she meant to replace it eventually). Although her junkyard shift would be over at noon, she couldn't help taking a minute to think over the equipment she had brought while she tuned up her metal detector. To plunge in with an oxygen tank or no oxygen tank? She was the only one on the team who didn't need it who equipped it anyway, and feeling foolish she began unhooking it from her back to set aside in the ASSignment rOOM (today they were going to work on metal extraction from a junkyard full of car parts).
Without one she was at the mercy of her SANitation suit's filters and vents, which upon rare occasion could fail. It had never happened to her personally, but it had to some of her colleagues and that was horrifying enough-- to know that it was possible.
Already, she was preparing a line of things to say and stories to tell the n00b.
Here he comes, she said to herself, time for the old drop-your-name tag trick. Pretending to fuss with the sealing of her coverall, she knocked her magnet name tag off her... ]]> ~Matsuwara http://Matsuwara.deviantart.com/journal/22951182/ http://Matsuwara.deviantart.com/journal/22951182/ Sun, 01 Feb 2009 19:14:29 PST

UPDATE 11/02: I got a haircut.

UPDATE 11/05: I've rediscovered the joy of cheese and crackers. You know, a block of cheese. Some crackers. Munch munch. Like sandwiches. Who eats these anymore?

UPDATE 11/12: Fixed the not-working link. Also I have scrapped up a NEW sir Bunny Nugget video!!!! I was in a rush but it took me all day-- hard to explain but I've had a lot of crap thrown in my face today for just wanting to do this (I built the setup in certain people's way). Hope someone likes it. It's not the best I could've done but I was excited to do it. Go here [link]

All today. Thank God I feel well fed and energized. I just wish I could shower first but we have no clean towels. I hope you all can forgive me for being a hermit-snail. I'll have to hop onto doing laundry in about forty minutes. I got a makeshift schedule. Must. Get. Things. Done.

UPDATE: 12:38 PM like what? Three hours later? Now that i've done the laundry I'm hungry and need to fix something to eat. Spaghetti!

UPDATE: 10:09 PM I'm done eating, showering, and getting the groceries and page 5 is still in pencil! It's all in pencil (I've also decided to add a page six and seven). I'm burnt, I'll just have to submit the rest tomorrow ;_; I had high hopes for finishing stuff today but life is demanding and time consuming. Monday I also have to go to a restaurant and eat with my grandparents though, but surely that won't take all day!'

UPDATE 1:52 PM I've been summoned for jury duty. ><" I mailed in my eligibility paper thing and kept the summons....

UPDATE 09/02 Been taking care of things having to do with family--- my cousin recently got pokemon for his birthday last month so I've had to resurrect my nintendo ds to trade and stuff with him this weekend. My microns are kinda dry so I have to force them to work for me but it HURTS so I'll be looking around the house for nibs and inkpots...

UPDATE 09/03 Will continue drawings tomorrow. I recently received some birthday money... spent more than half of it today on needs such as new boots (I jacked up my old ones wearing them for four years straight, holes, gum, everything worn down). I can't believe how fast it went, honest it wasn't very much but it compared to what I needed was like... man. I got some 6 x 6 bristol (they even make trading card size bristol now too!) and will be trying to come up with bunny-nugget shorts soon.

UPDATE 09/04 Paid some medical and student loan bills... ouch. Bought a new printer (one that'll work with the mac) and iWork? (their word processor). Wish I had some LANDER ADVANCED SKIN CARE Aloe Vera Lotion (it has sunflower oil and cucumber extracts w00t) ... my skin has been acting up and they suddenly stopped carrying it at the stores I go to. I must complain to Wal-Mart. Hope they listen.

UPDATE 09/06 Got distracted away from drawing with reading and eating. But I'm going to doodle on the side until something comes out. Well actually I have to cut down some bristol to size, I have a lot of GIANT pads of bristol stocked up for some mysterious reason under the coffee table. 14" by 17" I think and even bigger up to 28" maybe. Where have all my 9" by 12" gone? I don't know! Either I've been misplacing them like none other or somebody takes it from me or took (past tense). Obviously you can't lose a giant bristol pad because its too big, very noticeable if somebody tries to hijack it from you upon passing by... oh I'm paranoid. It's the ninjas I tell you!

UPDATE 09/09 Been submitting to scraps.

UPDATE 09/12 Yes I've been blanket cocooning again. Shame! Shame on me! I guess I just fear my upcoming birthday. I want it to be over with. ><" And twelve days from now I have jury duty but I gotta figure out how to get there first.

UPDATE 10/09 I've actually been offline particular because 1) I was playing Silent Hill Homecoming (rented it-- finished with ending one). 2) I've been writing because I really need to do that it'll make me money someday. Also, I've been... sick. It's my diet again I suppose. I've picked up drinking green tea (in addition to more water) and I'm feeling better. I woke up to the idea of tea because during jury duty I drank my first cup of coffee ever and felt like a million bucks. The come down was BAAAAAAD though, so I thought tea was a better option for an energy fix. I refuse to become one of those people stuck on pain pills and coffee! I refuse! But man, it's tempting. Coffee does smell good...

UPDATE 10/25 WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING??!!! Donating clothes to non-profit charities and trading some to Buffalo Exchange for some vintage clothes. You guys have no idea what my room looks like or the apartment where I live looks like, but lemme tell you what, I've boxes of clothing that I haven't worn since middle school lying around everywhere.... ]]> ~Matsuwara
