Phone

[So Scratch finished his census and he is just really bored. Time to pick up that phone.]

That census was a chore to fill out. Honestly, I'm hoping for something less droll than last year's battle royale murder spree. Killing is also boring and tedious. Well, there are consequences for it now. But, that doesn't change how anti-climatic it is. And if they choose to run it again, then it will only be because they are running out of creative ideas and just want to see everyone turning against each other. [A dramatic sigh, done only for dramatic purposes.] We'll see what happens. I won't make any bets either way, by way of not being a gambling man.

And, that reminds me: I wrote a note to myself after that series of events ended last year that I would send gift baskets to the ones I took out. My apologies for letting that slip my mind. The human mind is not good for flawless memory storage and retrieval, unlike my original head.

Let me see - Nall, Ilsa Higa, Charles Fei-Ong and Sanae Hanekoma. If any of you are still around, tell me what you want in your gift basket. Food, clothes, essential household items, if it fits in I'll send it over. If you don't reply I will assume that you are still in a sour mood over the events of the last year and not send you one out of respect of that mood. That or you're droned. Either or. If it's the former, I advise you that being bitter is not a very good way to live. It wasn't at all a personal affair or one done out of hatred. The first time is always the hardest they say. [tl;dr, stop being mad that I murdered it, it was my first "crazy thing" going on in Mayfield.]

One more other thing: Bernkastel, would you like a rematch? Our fight was undecided and we never had the chance to make it up. We could do something else that is less taxing on our power if you choose to. I know you enjoy games of chess, for example.

And yes, because I am sure you are dying to know, I am that Doc Scratch. The one with a cheap gold trophy in the roller rink I never visit. I saved you several moments of suspicious thoughts toward my message. No need to thank me.

[It's hard, being Doc Scratch and bored. So hard...]

I hardly care for my tenacity. That is something to be regarded in the public eye more than my own. If I am considered a monster or a terrible existence by someone, that is fine by me. I hardly judge, even if I consider their opinion to be incorrect or misguided.

[tl;dr he doesn't give a fuck.]

I was looking to find a way of reading the book. I've never read human literature and I only know vaguely of it as a result. If you saw the need to point it out then I feel it may be worth trying.

[encored]

That way of thinking must save you much unnecessary grief. It's certainly one way to go about things, I suppose. [one he disagrees with, but he leaves it at that

and then goes silent because Shakespeare is glorious and no one should go without it! excuse him while he mentally weighs sharing anything with this gift-basketing ball of arrogance against getting to shove his hoity-toity favorite literature at poor unsuspecting citizens. hmm. hmm...]

...Well, you certainly won't find them in the library here, and the only other person who might have had copies is droned now. If you truly wish to read it, I've that and the playwright's entire collection that I would be willing to lend.
