repo! the genetic opera (d1) graverobber

(no subject)

[Having done some exploring around the Plane, Graverobber has noticed all the random junk that people have brought. So he's conducting a little experiment.

The new addition to the collection is a humble dumpster, dented and smelly, situated near the back of the pub. Satisfied with the positioning and resolved not to question how this shit works, he pops the lid and hops inside for a little R&R. Those junkies in the alley back home have been fucking loud.]

[Pollution's rather pleased with the new addition]

Much better than bushes.

[He sits up and rests his elbows on the dumpster lip.]

What?

[He gestures to the dumpster]

This is better than the garden maze someone brought before.

Of course it is. What can you do with a maze?

[He laughs]

Exactly. You have good taste.

This may surprise you, but I don't get that a lot.

[Pauses by the dumpster and frowns] ...That's where you live?

Mankind as a whole often has things backwards. [Or they just like the right things for the wrong reasons. Pollution a few steps toward the dumpster, trying to get a look at its contents]

Comfy.

[There is a little green snake nearby, eyeing the dumpster suspiciously.]

Hn. Classy.

Don't be ridiculous. [...Only on days ending in y.]

[Graverobber can't argue with that. He just nods and then settles back down onto a pile of mostly paper products and foam packing peanuts. Not that he's picky or anything, but he did manage to find a relatively non-juicy dumpster this time. ...or maybe not. There are what looks like fingers sticking up out of the refuse at the far end.]

You bet.

[One of these days he will get used to animals talking to him and not do stupid things like jump a foot in the air and ram his head into the dumpster lid. One of these days.]

... Don't judge.

Think I prefer the bed of needles. On fire.

So you just like relaxing in them?

It was convenient and I'm not picky.

I don't know, fire contributes to my insomnia.

Might do something for the smell, though.

[Tapping at the dumpster] Fair enough, though it can't be very comfortable.

[He flicks a beetle away and lies back.] It's good enough.

Sensitive nose?

It's a dumpster. The dead could smell it.

[She raises a eyebrow at the beetle] The possible risk of infection doesn't bother you?

[GR just snorts in response.]

I wouldn't bet money on that.

[Brigitta rolls her eyes and continues tapping around the dumpster]

Are you looking for something?

[Pokes her head up] Just examining.

It's standard issue.

I hardly get the chance to look at dumpsters.

If that's the case, don't start now.

[She pokes her head up again] Why not?

Nice girls don't dumpster-dive.

It's a good thing that I'm doing it here then.

Well, if you're that into it, I won't stop you.
