4th Elevator (Voice)
[ The events of the past few days have had Gary thinking, what with the earthquake and the chaos that followed. He missed his control room. He missed having the ability to push a button, or flick a switch and have the situation in front of him resolve itself.
However the more he thought about it the more he remembered just how big and vast it was....so many different parts that needed monitoring and cataloguing. So many things that needed to be done to successfully complete the ritual.
And that was the point...the room and the ritual was too big for just one person.
There has to be somebody else in there right? Somebody else to help oversee the entire operation. But why was he drawing a blank when he tried to remember this person?
He could remember everyone else...Dr Amy Lin, Officer Daniel Truman, the boys from accounting. They were like his second family after all. So why was it such a chore trying to remember who helped him with the ritual?
He drums his fingers on the desk before speaking.]
So does anybody here ever feel like...I don't know.
[He tries again.]
Does anybody here ever feel like their memories have been tampered with?
I know it's such a strange concept here in the land on rainbows and lollypops but you don't ask you don't get right?

Dictated
As I have come to understand them, having one's memories tampered with is one of the more common "losses" people suffer upon entry to Paradisa. It is the type of loss I suffer from, as well.
no subject
What the hell are they?
no subject
no subject
I mean I have a good credit rating and all that.
no subject
It is difficult to know for sure, as Paradisa itself will not comment on the nature of losses, or why they are inflicted on us.
no subject
[ He pauses before asking this next part...since there's a distinguishing feature he notices about this character.]
Soo you're a robot then?
no subject
no subject
Listen...you couldn't indulge an old mans curiosity and tell me what your core directive is?
[Because you know...it doesn't sound like his killer robot but it never hurts to check it's not from any of the other sites.]

Awesome.

You mean you can't remember them at all?

[He gives a sigh of annoyance...like he's the most put upon man in existence.]

Sometimes the castle takes memories.
no subject
[The irony of having his own mind tampered with after doing it to so many others over the years isn't lost on him.
It still doesn't stop it being a major pain in the ass though.]
That's part of these...losses thing people talk about yeah?
no subject
I agree. It IS a pain in the ass. And yes, that may be your loss.
no subject
The memory of Louis from demolitions photocopying his own ass at an office party is one I’ve trying to get rid of for years!
no subject
no subject
Memories of events...people?
no subject
[Speaking from personal experience on BOTH counts]
no subject
[He sighs.] Great.
no subject
[she pauses]
I'm sorry.
no subject
No sense in getting pissed off over something I can't control right?
no subject
You'd be surprised how many people still do.
no subject
Or as I like to say "They probably need to get laid...or drunk"
no subject
As an advice columnist I'd usually go for something somewhere in the middle of those but I can see where you're coming from. It's probably one of the reasons there are so many bars around here.
no subject
Me I'm not that kind of professional...I'm just employed to be a good technician and occasionally be eye candy around the office.
no subject
Sounds like a heck of a job. What do you do?
no subject
If it's been portrayed in a cheesy action film somewhere chances are I was probably hired there at one point.
[ And again Gary is sticking true to his policy of "Neglecting to tell people about the last agency because mentioning you’ve ritually killed teenagers is something of a social Faux pas.]
no subject
Wow. Impressive.
[Of course it doesn't help that she hasn't had the best of relationships with, uh, ANY FBI people she's met but hey there's always a first time]
no subject
I'll say!
What's your name then sweetness?
no subject
no subject
Nice to meet you Miss Halliwell.
no subject
no subject
This still beats my last holiday though...
no subject
I'm glad I missed that one. I've known Crowley for well over a year, now. Somehow it doesn't surprise me that he'd host that game.
That's not so bad if that's the worst you've seen so far. A month after I got here we were all transported onto pirate ships and I had to help defend the ship from the Navy.
no subject
Tell me you at got a kick ass outfit to wear or at the very least a talking wise ass parrot?
