The Journal of Doug Ramsey

About damn time, dorkpants. You have no idea how close you came to getting hung upside down from the ceiling in front of Angie's door. What the heck kind of project was this, anyway?

Yeah, I'm definitely gonna be donating as much as they'll let me, on top of helping, uh, help. I wonder if they'd let me use dupes . . . no, wait, those units'd just go bad once I pulled the dupes back in, nevermind.

And I'm as clueless as you are about Mr. Summers' rearranged face, but that isn't the weird part, the weird part is he's walking around looking . . . I dunno. I think I've seen that expression before . . . y'know, I think the guy looks relaxed. Wiggy. But good.

From:

I would have liked to have seen you hang him upsidedown from the door.

From:

Sorry, love. No can do.

I bet I could make it up to you in other ways, though. :)

From:

Are you sure? I mean, I made all those comments in your journal and you did not respond.

I thought maybe you broke it.

From:

No, I was just a little cranky and focused on the project. I realized that it probably wouldn't be a good idea to be snarking as much as I wanted to at that point, so it was better to stay away for a bit.

From:

Well, it could still be arranged. Just be a lot tougher now that he isn't being Monkeyhead the Amazing Monitor Zombie anymore.

From:

I think... I maybe can wait, because I want some time with Doug and hanging would take away from that.

From:

Well, unless we were feeling very creative. ;-)

From:

I'm trying to think of something more emphatic than "TMI!"

From:

Would it help if I did not want you to have seen that either?

Doug and I are not doing ANYTHING upside down. I promise.

From:

I am not that flexible.

From:

Me either. Plus, ew. :) It was worth it to give Jamie a wiggins, though.

From:

You know he is just going to get revenge.

From:

That's fine. :) It was still worth it.

From:

Well, thank god I finished just in time. :)

What your powers would do to blood donation is a very interesting question. And I imagine they'll have all kinds of stuff for you to do. It really seems like the Red Cross is pushing this thing hard, which is awesome.

Yeah. The phrase you're looking for here is "morbid and creepifying". ;-) Captain Tightpants, relaxed? *grin*

From:

Well, the way it works now, any dupe that donated blood would have to stick around not only until that unit of blood was used, but until it'd gotten replaced naturally by whoever it got put into. Otherwise there'd either be a nasty mess in the blood bank, or somebody'd be running around with a pint or two of decomposing blood in their veins, and I shudder to think.

Hey, though, Mr. Summers has been relaxed before. I mean, remember--no, wait, the amusement park trip last summer was before you got here, wasn't it?

From:

Aye, I'm thinking you're right about only giving the normal amount. (And I've got to wonder, mightn't absorbing the dupes that had also given blood also leave you too far short? Or does it just average out?)

I asked about it, and I can't give blood at all here. At least, they said, not until they work out how to test for mad cow disease.

But I can help out and feed people, anyway.
