I can count on one hand the amount of times I've had to discharge my service weapon in my entire career as a cop. Or at least I could until a few hours ago.

What the fuck is going on?

I do not want, do not like, and whatever these things are they need to get the hell out of Orange County.

At least bullets work on them. I narrowly avoided getting snatched up by using a broken section of sewer plate as an improvised weapon. Pretty sure I broke my wrist in doing so.

I did get my coffee though before the place had half a dozen of those things come down onto it, so I'm counting that as a win.

(And yes, before you say it, I got as many out as I could. Currently holed up in a sports store with the doors barricaded)

	Headshots tend to have that effect. Pretty sure or 100% certain? Your thing with coffee is insane. You know that, right? Good, keep them safe and try and keep as many of them off the street as you can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pretty sure. It's been a long time since I broke it. I know, but by this time if I don't have at least three coffees before 10am I've got a migraine and rising murder levels. I've got some people on watch by the door, we're taking in people as they come past. You have any idea what they are? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Get it braced. Your fingers are important, especially for the police department. No murdering anyone unless they're the weird looking assholes trying to rip a hole in the city we love. Good. Not a one. Never seen them before, don't care to see them again either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Is it looting if I take a brace from this store? Or if I take one of these crossbows and use it?

I've had two and a half coffees, I think I'm okay. I'll direct all murderous impulses towards the things outside.

Pretty sure there's more coverups here than backstage at a fashion show.

Okay, no, I can't pull off the film noir detective commentary. I'll stick with sass and sarcasm.

	In this instance? I'm gonna say no. And if anybody argues with them tell them I told you that it was okay. 👍 [Tim] This entire situation stinks. It really does. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've screenshotted this conversation for evidence in court, Detective. [Det. Parker] It's seriously messed up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You can't see it, but I am totally rolling my eyes at you. [Tim] What's that term... FUBAR'ed? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tjdrake_wayne 2020-08-14 02:20 pm UTC (link)
	I can imagine it well enough. [Det. Parker] Totally FUBAR'ed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	😝 [Tim] Keep safe, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Will do, Detective. You too. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Things rarely make sense, never do what you want and always shock. You might need more bullets. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I am so not in the mood, you know? My day was shitty enough without whatever the hell this is. Ahead of you, hit up the weapon lockers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2020-08-14 01:08 pm UTC (link)
	On the other hand, think of it as aggression therapy. You can get your shitty day out of your system shooting these things? I tend to use swords, less need for bullets. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cerealonregular 2020-08-14 01:09 pm UTC (link)
	Huh. That's a good point. I like it. Oh, if there were swords, I would totally use swords. ...Is a grenade launcher excessive? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2020-08-14 01:12 pm UTC (link)
	It's cheaper than therapy. You should 100% get swords when this clears up. I wouldn't say so. But apparently I have issues with boundaries. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cerealonregular 2020-08-14 01:14 pm UTC (link)
	Shrinks are overpriced anyways. I'll add it to my list of things to do. Pfft, boundaries, smoundaries. The city is under attack. Grenade launcher it is! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2020-08-14 01:20 pm UTC (link)
	It's practically robbery. You'll probably want to add some property damage insurance to your stuff too. My sentiments exactly, really. At the very least, fire might draw them somewhere easier to dispatch them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cerealonregular 2020-08-14 01:30 pm UTC (link)
	Right? Ugh, yeah. I should do that. Boring, boring insurance. And hopefully distract them from those who can't defend themselves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2020-08-14 01:38 pm UTC (link)
	Super boring, but it comes in handy when things like this happen and you need to replace a car you only had for six weeks. ~~People keep worrying about~~ Yeah, that's probably going to be important. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cerealonregular 2020-08-14 01:53 pm UTC (link)
	...I just remembered I'm still paying mine off so fingers crossed it doesn't get crushed, or I am going to be super pissed. Yep. Exactly. Also, body armor, that's a thing as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2020-08-14 02:03 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, hope for the best. Prepare for the worst. That's a low concern personally, but it'd be smart. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cerealonregular 2020-08-14 02:18 pm UTC (link)
	Can't go wrong that way. Are you like... wonder woman or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2020-08-14 02:28 pm UTC (link)
	No. Probably not. I don't know who that is. I'm Nebula. I'm just durable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cerealonregular 2020-08-14 02:30 pm UTC (link)
	Well, Nebula, it's nice to meet you. I'm Parker. I am not durable, but I am damn hard to kill. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2020-08-14 02:41 pm UTC (link)
	Be harder to kill than they are, and worry about body armour for next time. Pretty much because there's definitely going to be a next time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm fast on my feet, it helps. Also, bendy. Apparently these things are called "Paradooms" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2020-08-14 02:52 pm UTC (link)
	These things are fast, but definitely not 'bendy'. Because of course they'd have a stupid name. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cerealonregular 2020-08-14 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	And it shows. Yep. Figures. Apparently they're pretty unkillable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2020-08-14 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	Everything is killable if you try hard enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cerealonregular 2020-08-15 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	Exactly my thoughts. (Reply to this) (Parent)
