Ginsberg is not amused.

Now look, just because you think my mustache is "funny"...

[He completes this disdainful comment with dramatic air quotes.]

... doesn't mean I'm a funny guy. You know that. I'm actually pretty serious. I like the name you've chosen for me. It fits. Very existential. I'm not sure if anyone at SCDPCGC -- is that what we're calling it now? I can't keep track. Sounds like a shady law firm no matter how you organize the letters -- gets it.

[A pause.]

What do you mean, "gets what?" Gets it. It's a figure of speech. A phrase. Are you high right now?

[A longer pause.]

You're not high? That's a first. Not for you, I mean. For the people I spend my time around these days. Come to think of it, though, this is pretty weird. Did you get me high?

Very true, that.

[just_displaced]

Do people here believe you? About the aliens?

[denokandafaran]

Some of them.

[just_displaced]

Good. Then maybe this place won't be so bad.

[denokandafaran]

Maybe not. I'm in one of those 'games', and I don't hate it.

[just_displaced]

What's it called? Just for reference. I don't intend to go anywhere.

[denokandafaran]

boomtown. New Dodge.

[just_displaced]

I'll look into it. For research purposes, I mean. Good to know what kind of places you might end up.

[denokandafaran]

Makes sense to me. And this one's voluntary, at least.

[just_displaced]

Thanks. And good luck around here.

[denokandafaran]

Thanks. You too!
