CK

It's very nice of you to say.

I'm the fifth horseman you know. I get to put the lights when the other four have buggered off. It's a dull job you know. Great battle cries are screamed in to the air, followed by a small click. That's me that is, that little click is my contribution.

Would you like me to finish anyone off? Just let me know. I'll be quietly slumped in the corner over there, by the light switch.

tissue?

peace.

Thanks.

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRP!!!!

Oh dear, I think I broken it. Would you like it back now. I'm sure it will dry given time.

... no... that's ok, you keep it...

If it dries just right you could keep it for the future? Maybe?

peace.

Oh dear. I can now feel a small pocket of dampness seeping through my cloak. Don't worry. You get sort of used to things after a while.

Thank you for the tissue though.

Would you like me to read you some poetry? I wrote it myself.

... thought not.

Hi 5th horseman. Heraing you poetry would be nice





CK

Do you really want to hear my poem? Do you? Oh dear

Very well, don't say I didn't warn you ...

The rotting swans lay dying in an oil filled Lake.
I squash mosquitos for my thirst to slake.
A see a sign,
it means nothing to me,
Vienna!

Perfectly dreadfull if you ask me.

brilliant... I wish I could write like that...

peace.

There's plenty more where that came from. It's all so pointless really.

you need a smiley


CK

I suppose you're right. A sigh smiley would save a lot of bother I suppose. To have a smiley dedicated to breathing out ... awfull.

*mutters something about smileys under breath*

peace.

peace.
