God, I hope not. Who wants to be named Geoffery?

[Dutifully, he'll type the name in and-- success!

. . . Only to be hit by another annoying capcha.]

Seriously?

[cathasahat]

...the name one actually seems less annoying now.

[untilldeath]

I think your name was on the first page, so I'll let you take care of this next one.

[Meaning he doesn't want to count all that.]

[cathasahat]

Thanks so much.

[She'll count carefully but does succeed at the captcha]

Okay--I guess I'll finish then?

[She types in "Sense of (physical) taste" into the last submission box before seeing the last captcha]

...how did this get worse.

[untilldeath]

Cuticle?

[Of all things? Liver? White blood cell?]

Gross and weird.

[cathasahat]

I don't know what some of these words are, so I'm going to guess.

[The guess is not correct for the first time, but it is the second time]

Well, that was incredibly annoying.

[untilldeath]

Hey, at least there weren't any punishments for getting anything wrong.

[Till will begin his own form and get the first captcha wrong not once, twice, but three times before he stops misstyping.]

. . .

[cathasahat]

You're right, that's good.

[...pats his shoulder]

I believe in you.

[untilldeath]

Thanks.

[ And of course he gets a number one. He squints while carefully counting down the numbers. At least this time, he gets it correct straight off the bat.]

Good. It strains my eyes staring at them all shoved together like that.

[cathasahat]

I assume that's the point. But only one more.

[untilldeath]

[Just the one more, and-- success!]

There. This feels... deceptively harmless so far.

[cathasahat]

I guess we'll see what happens at the end.

[untilldeath]

Should we just BS while waiting, then?

[Digging through the bag that hangs at his hip.]

I might have some spray paint in there somewhere...

[cathasahat]

It looks like there isn't anything else to do. Are you going to redecorate?

[untilldeath]

[He hands a spray can over to her.]

With your help, if you would like to.

[cathasahat]

[Takes the spray can and looks at the rest of the subway car thoughtfully]

Hmm, where to start.

[untilldeath]

Do we know who is hosting this particular performance?

[Shaking his can up. He's trying to decide if it needs to be personalized or not.]

[cathasahat]

I don't think so--I didn't see anyone, just that initial instructions screen.

[untilldeath]

Yeah, I didn't remember seeing a name either. Coward.

[That's fine. Time to start spray painting a dick.]

[cathasahat]

[snorts]

I'm sure they'll introduce themselves at the end.

[She starts spray painting a frowny face]

[untilldeath]

[Now for some lips.]

Yeah, probably. Guess we'll see if its someone new or one of our shitty old reliables.

[cathasahat]

[Moving onto a barfing face once she finishes the first one]

I'm not sure which option is better.

[untilldeath]

Yeah... It's not like we really want to have more. There's already too many. They might not all be shitty, but enough of them are that I'm not impressed.
