[Public] Well, isn't this a lovely state of affairs?

Things That've Gone Horribly Wrong So Far

• I've managed to, through some remarkable act of brilliance, stumble through a rift in time and space whilst chasing down yet another pimple on the arse of humanity.
• I can't go back.
• Given that my entire department has the average competence level of a three year-old on a sugar rush, the bastard I was chasing may just go uncaught.
• It's 2008, which makes this 35 years in my future, and no one's even got a flying car.
• Also, I'm in America, where my badge does about as much good as condoms for a nun. ...make that an ugly nun. I've heard stories.
• The beer around here tastes like frozen horse piss.
• I've found out I TURN INTO A LION. I'm just waiting for someone to scratch my head and call me a nice puss.
• Oh, and there are angels and demons and god knows what else everywhere. Can't forget that.
• I'm quite possibly mad, and somewhere in Manchester, they've got me sitting in a nice rubber room while Tyler makes that V. Serious Face of his and pretends to pity me and acts like he's not a bigger nutter than an entire bleeding asylum put together.
• If this is real, Tyler is not actually a bigger nutter than an entire bleeding asylum put together.

The Not-So-Bad Bits

• With Raymondo and -- god help me for saying it -- Tyler around, CID might actually stand a chance. Might. As long as they get someone not from Hyde to run the place in my absence.
• I CAN TURN INTO A BLOODY LION.

You can turn into a lion?





...fucking cool.

[themanclion]

Glad to know someone appreciates it.

Just don't get any ideas about scratching my head, would you?

[worseforfears.livejournal.com]

Awww, but why not? I'm sure you're an adorable kitty.

[themanclion]

I did mention that lions have teeth, right? Great big ones?

[worseforfears.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, I'll believe you'll eat me when I see it.

Also, I could probably kick your ass, even if you're a lion.

[themanclion]

Right, you're a big tough angel who can take care of herself.

I mean it about not scratching my head, though.

[calicoway.livejournal.com]

A lion?!

Lucky!

Lot better than a kitten.

[themanclion]

Well, I suppose there's something to be said for things always getting worse.

A kitten, eh? Well, as I understand it, we get a bigger thing and a smaller thing. Dunno what my smaller thing is, yet, if it's any consolation.

[scouse-eve.livejournal.com]

Wow, and here I thought Des was making shite up. You really can turn into a lion? Goddamn, that's kind of brilliant.

[themanclion]

Seeing as how I've no idea who this "Des" is, news travels fast.

Has its moments, though.

[scouse-eve.livejournal.com]

'course it does. I mean, what else is there to do but lurk around and hear things? At least, that's what I've picked up out of this place so far.

[narrated]

You're bloody brilliant! Haven't laughed this hard all day. Condoms for a nun?

Who knew the grouchy lion could be a regular comedian?

If you need anything, you know where to find me.

[themanclion]

It's appreciated, luv. But unless you can find me a decent beer, I think I'm short of things I need at the moment.

[narrated]

Well, there are a lot of bars in Chicago...

[themanclion]

...and with luck, one of them may know what proper beer is.

I suppose that's all the more reason to go exploring.

[narrated]

Yes, exactly.

I have no idea which one tho. I have been here for five months, but most of it was spent down here. It's why I need out. I, also, have money, which you'll probably need to purchase that beer once you've found it.

[themanclion]

...You buying, then?

[narrated]

Might as well.

It's not like it's my money. Brando won't care.

[themanclion]

Well, who am I to turn down a free drink?

Name your time.

[narrated]

Tomorrow night. 7:30.

Meet you in the lobby, near the elevators.

[themanclion]

Done.

See you then.
