03/01 - same time as the intro log

There's people in the hospital without clothes.

[ It's Lantar. There's no one else in the town with that flanged voice. He suddenly sounds like he's been chain smoking for a few decades now though. ]

If anyone's got shoes, pants and coats to spare, you guys think you can drop them off here? I'll be in the lobby.

( a chuckle bubbles in his voice when he responds, ) Yeah, sure. I got some clothes to spare.

( he won't mention, of course, that said clothes belong to jeff. hence they're ugly and gaudy as fuck. it'll be more hilarious if they don't find out until they open the box. and it shall be the second worst thing ever found in a box, after that scene in "seven", when brad pitt opens the box to reveal his wife's decapitated head inside. barely tho )

[ Can you hear the judgemental silence over the line here, Howard? Can you?

Because Lantar is judging you very hard right now. ]

Thanks. I can return them afterwards, if you want?

( OK WOW howard is doing a charitable act out of the kindness of his heart and, yet, it's being like it's trash.

the lesson is: kindness is for suckers, money is forever. )

No. Please, keep them. For the... uh next group.

( just take them please. )

[ 'Next group'?

This time, the stretch of silence is even more suspicious. ]

... Right. I'll drop by and pick it up then.

[inventor]

( honestly, howard just said "next group" so lantar will take them. he made that up. he doesn't know if there'll be a next group, he just wants the clothes gone. and if he has to lie and come up with some improbable ideas to do so, hell yeah he will. )

Come by the back door. Uh the front is blocked.

( the fuckin' ratpack returned all the ugly items howard gave away for bargaining purposes. fuckin' asshole. )

[ The problem is that Lantar had woken up in the hospital and found a whole bunch of new amnesiacs wandering around again. It's looking awfully probable from his end. ]

Should I bring a bag?
