Parties, and getting shot, because of Lucky Charms

I'm working at a place that is a combination of my store, and the Tiffany's in Phipps Plaza. They both have a centre island, which is the employee work area, and combine fairly well. It is also a Kinkos, of which i know, and some job at the Georgia State Village. I'm working here, late at night, and the ceilings are really high, and the flouresent light causes a lot of contrast with the near-total dark, outside. I'm working on various people's computers, and i'm waiting until i get to leave. There's something about a tenuous feeling that Is someone's dorm room, and there's music, in the office. Various people are in and out, and it's time for me to go.

I walk into a party, in an apartment that combines the features of many other place. When i walk in the door, i'm in a foyer area, and directly to my left, there is the couch, and the TV, and we are watching movies. It's a conglomeration of not_hothead_yet's movie parties, and some other social gathering. Many people are there, and i see mech_angel, and it so happens that i have a new LUXT CD, and it's enhanced with DVD capabilities. Other people i knew, who were there included cryptickisses, comorbid, raoin, Patrick, Elizabeth, Raven, Kathryn, and Anje. I went to hug Kathryn, while this DVD's getting started, becuase it's apparently her party, and while i'm doing that, i knock her hair out of arrangement, and she gets really mad. She goes off to fix it, and i try to continue talking to people. The LUXT DVD is going on, in the background, and there's this feeling of some kind of techno-industrial, evil-carnival circus thing, on the screen, and people aren't sure if it fits the mood of the party. I go to talk to Anje, who is in her pajamas, as a lot of the people, at the party seem to be. I tell her about some CD, which may be the LUXT one, and she freaks out, and demands a copy, snatching it out of my hand, and trying to start her computer. Her computer is on the Village Net, so it takes her swiping her ID card, starting the machine, entering a password, swiping her card, again, and then choosing her settings, all over the course of about 10 minutes, for it to start. I leave the room, because i really have to pee. In trying to get to the bathroom, i'm denied, by people who live there, people stealing the other bathroom, as i'm trying to get to it, and people having sex in one of the bathrooms. Amanda, from The Dresden Dolls, is getting dressed in one of them, and doesn't want me in there, before she is, but it's ok for other people to be in and out. I consider leaving. Instead, i make it my house.

The party is over, and people are simply straggling, hanging around, when Elizabeth Banks, looking like Betty Brant, but with a more evil temperment, walks into the bathroom/dressing room, and sees a bunch of clippings, on the mirror, of people who have died, recently. They're all mysterious-seeming suicides, and the people involved had been recently slandered and libeled against, in the school newspaper. This is now some kind of Breakfast Club/Cruel Intentions plot, and the key is to figure out what happened. She keeps looking at the clippings, remembering the people she's helped destroy, and she smiles. The scene focuses on one of the clippings, and the kid who survived. His picture starts talking.

This is all happening, outside of the dressing room door, which is now a schoolgym, in the past.

There had been a seige, during the ROTC gym exercises, and they holed up, in there, on cots, and bleachers. This kid, Ramirez, i think his name was, had been given the task of making the choice: do they surrender to the government, or stand and fight? Someone brings a box of Lucky Charms, to his bench, and they pour it out, across the seat. It's gold coins. More people bring boxes and bags of gold coins/Lucky Charms, and that's how they let him know that they've made their choice. He goes to the big double doors, and now they aren't highschoolers, anymore, they're in elementary school. When he opens the doors, the Feds burst in, and yell for everyone to get down. Ramirez runs, and they yell at him to stop, and they shoot him in the back three times, but somehow three is a lot more than our three, even though there's only our three bullet holes, in his back. The head Fed shouts to shoot anything that moves, and the rest of the kids are still. Watching this, receeding back into the dressing room, i wake up

It was 9.30, when i woke up, the first time. I was still tired. Very. So i went back to sleep.

We're back in the cycle of watching Ramirez beat himself up, for what he did, or didn't do. Interspersed here, and in the same scene, before I left and came back, are flashes of the Kinkos/Tiffany's/It's About Time, and the empty store. Thinking about the Evil Betty Brant, and what her plans are, i wake up

Dozed, for a bit more, until about 10.55, then i decided to just get up. Worked out, all told..

Hungry, need food. Later.
