fifth. text (backdated to the 10th).

[Shortly after it becomes apparent that the newest crop of arrivals has started trickling in, Mello sends the following network-wide message:]

Those of you who have just arrived would do well to read this. (Attachment: README.txt)

Those of you who aren't new will no doubt have commentary to add, since it's typically known that those who are unable to do things themselves tend to have no trouble criticizing those who can and do.

[Mello's not bitter. YOU'RE bitter.]

boy, that'd really be something.
they'd probably have to stop the presses, huh?

[This might be the longest he's gone without making a pun mid-conversation in days. Might. He had to break that streak sometime!]

[Did you really just.]

They'd have to start them first. Which is why we'd need Gutenberg in the first place.

[Of course he just.]

yeah, then we could make a "good ton" of those pamphlets, right?

Sure. You could make as many as you wanted, for however long the supplies held out.

[Time to play that fun, familiar game of "does he get that it's a joke or does he just refuse to play along?"]

not one for jokes, are you?

Not unless there's a good reason for it.

kicking back and relaxing isn't a good enough reason for you?

What about this place do you find relaxing?

the fact that there's nothing trying to kill us right this minute.

The day is young.

real fun at parties, aren't ya?

I don't attend parties unless it's necessary.

ok, i'd say that answers my question.

I usually have more important things to do.

like educating the newbies on their whereabouts with grace and tact.
you had to have some kinda public relations position back home. c'mon, tell me i'm right.

I worked with the Mafia. Weren't you paying attention?

[Misa did make such an effort to make sure everyone knew that, after all.]

uh-huh.

[He has got only the vaguest notion of what that is, but sure. Okie dokes.]

welp. best of luck with your pamphlet.

Thanks.
