[Nora knows that the journals aren't working. Oh man does she know. You know what this means? FREE ENTERTAINMENT!

She clears her throat as she sets up a few filters.]

[BROKEN Jack Daniels]

So I thought about that question you asked me and, well, no I don't think you should kill him. The blood would be such a bitch to clean up.

[/filter]

[BROKEN The Marlboro Man]

Dude, 16 bottles is way too much. You really gonna drink that all by yourself?

[/filter]

[BROKEN The Muffin Man]

I have that stuff you wanted. Where do you want to meet?

[/filter]

[BROKEN The Michelin Man]

With your own brother?! That's just... that's 50 shades of wrong right there.

[/filer]

[the journal gets set down for a short time with only sounds of rustling, creaking furniture and breathing filtering through it. After 20 minutes or so Nora's voice cuts in again]

Oh. Oh Mark! No don't put that there! It's way too big. There's no way it'll fit.

Come on, don't you trust me? It'll be fine! It's not like I'm gonna break anything

Um... okay... if you're sure. Just... go slow.

Are you kidding me? Really? Could you be any more of a wuss? I'm just gonna stick it there. Don't move.

But. Wait! Mark! [pause] oh, wow, yeah you're right it does fit.

[written in EVEN LATER]

[BROKEN Captain Morgan]

Oh man last night was wicked! I never knew you could do that with a pig!

[/filter]

((OOC: Red is Mark. Have fun with those filters, guys!!))

.... See, I told you. I know how to rearrange a goddamn bookshelf. [ssssmmmmirk.]

Now where we gonna put the mini-fridge?

[courageous_wit]

[she knew she could count on you two to take advantage of the broken filters] Sounds like you're enjoying yourself.

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She laughs hysterically]

Oh you know we'll do anything we can to enjoy ourselves.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah, yeah, you're right. You know just where things fit [she bites her lip and raises an eyebrow at him before looking around]

I dunno. Maybe over there by the desk?

[courageous_wit]

I see that. But I think you forgot the filter to Captain Morgan.

[solowingpixy]

[This was definitely a good change of pace for 'The Case of the Broken Filters'. He'll be laughing to himself, but the amusement in his tone is obvious.]

Sounds like you got yourself in some pretty shady dealings, kid.

[is_mafia]

...Ah?

[He almost told her that the filters were broken, but then again, everybody should know that by now. It took him a moment before he realized that those were all fake filters that she had just made to fool people.]

Really, Nora?

[He's actually amused, because he's certain someone will take her literally.]

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She snickers]

Oh yeah. I'm just a rebel without a cause.

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She cracks up.]

Oh come on. It was just too easy!

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah you're right. I should add one.

[is_mafia]

Do you honestly think someone is going to believe those? [...Okay, maybe they would, but still.]

[courageous_wit]

Mm, I think he would feel sore if he weren't included.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Are you kidding me? There've gotta be at least a couple people here stupid enough to believe it.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Well we can't have that can we?

[She thinks for a moment before adding one more filter in. She giggles as she finishes it off]

There!

[solowingpixy]

You might want to go looking for a cause, then. You're likely not gonna get anywhere otherwise.

Unless you enjoy workin' with those sorts of people, of course.

[originalcopy]

[muffled snicker]

A for effort, but stick to radio.

[is_mafia]

...Perhaps. [...It's probably true.]

[courageous_wit]

[she reads it and laughs] Brilliant!

[mal_addict]

Gold star for entertainment value.

[lord_wizard]

I'm not really sure I needed to hear that.

[He's not stupid, but it's still like overhearing your younger sibling talk about sex]

[both_neither]

Be careful. You know what they say about strange men with muffins.

[silentrunning]

[Considering Chell doesn't know who any of these people are who Nora's trying to filter to... Have a voice over your journal there, you sneaky sneaky woman.]

Um... Nora??? Are ... you okay?

[eat_me_beat_me]

Why thank you, thank you. You can't see it but I'm totally taking a bow right now.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Do me a favor. Go to the game room and look in the movies under James Dean. [She laughs]

It's a joke! Get it? The filters are fucking broken, everyone knows it by now. Who'd be stupid enough to actually say shit like this right now?

[eat_me_beat_me]

A girl's gotta have a little fun. [She's still giggling]
