This place throws too many fuckin parties.

[ hi. ]

[holyposition]

This one is only half as blasphemous as the last.

You don't know how they decided who gets these tags, do you?

[break]

Depends on your religion. The Hellenic polytheists among us are rioting, I'm sure.

I got the impression they were given to the prettiest girls at the dance.

[holyposition]

I was told it was a reward, but not for what.

[break]

So Louis said. Do you know who else got one? Maybe you all have something in common.

[holyposition]

Hawk got one. I saw Koby for a minute, too.

I don't know. We're all homophiles, but that's almost everyone, I think. We're all trying to look into things. They've got their eye on us.

[break]

If it's based on investigating this place I might have to get offended I don't rank.

Did you complete your treasure hunt? I didn't, I just helped friends.

[holyposition]

Or proud to go under the radar.

I did. There were a lot more people at that party than there are with tags today, though. Maybe that's part of it, but there's got to be more.

[break]

Maybe everyone else just got the password from one of you guys, and you were the only ones to hand over someone else's stuff to Giles. That seems like it would earn a reward.

[holyposition]

I never handed mine over. I had to give it back to her.

[break]

Okay. Okay. Scratch that theory.

I feel like asking what you all got up to at the club is getting a little too personal. That and I can take an educated guess.

[holyposition]

What are you assuming I did at the club?

[break]

The same intemperate things everyone does at the club, Laughlin.

[holyposition]

I could have just been dancing.

[break]

Sure, you're a good boy. Guess we can scratch that theory too, then.

[holyposition]

There's no need to be patronizing.

I did get into some trouble. And I know Hawk and Koby did too. I can't speak for Louis.

I had too much to drink, I was with a man I barely know, I had an argument with Hawk. Which part of that could have been worth a reward?

[break]

I can speak for Louis.

[ Enjoying this relationships-string-board level gossip despite himself. ]

Matt just mentioned he had a good time and he was wearing his own tag while he said it. So maybe it's not a reward. Just a reminder that someone was watching, someone saw.

[holyposition]

Yeah?

[ Who among is is immune, really... ]

I haven't seen the person I was with at the club. I could check with him and see if he has one.

I was told to give it to someone. This seems like some sort of possessive sex thing.

[break]

And does having some guy walking around wearing your name not appeal?

[holyposition]

If it was someone special. But he won’t take it. He's being paranoid, thinks everything is being broadcast right to McCarthy's desk

He has one. The guy from the club.

[break]

We're being watched, that's for certain, but it's narrow-minded to think it's by an American president. McCarthy would have put us up in a nice hotel. This is some aliens or global illuminati conspiracy shit.

But it probably isn't actually about what other people think. Some stuff's just hard to look at directly.

[holyposition]

Aliens? Really? How is that any less realistic than something godly?

What do you mean?
