There is a pack of hobos outside my apartment

How about not worrying about some homeless people if they're not harming or harassing anyone?

Crazy, I know.

Oh, suuuurrrreee. Everyone wants to be nice to the homeless. But it's all fun and games until word gets around and you come home one day to find that your house now looks like Constantinople just before the Fall, if the Turks were all smelly ingrates wearing empty pizza cartons on their heads. And then when you take necessary action, suddenly you're the bad guy, and you've gotta pay to have the buckshot removed from some gypo's sternum.

Grinds my gears, it does.

Have you ever even touched a homeless person, Proctor?

Strongly seconding that. I know I'm going to sound enormously preachy and I'm sorry about it, but homeless, especially on Omega, have a pretty rough life as it is, that it would be nice to at least leave them be...

Dude, who wants to touch homeless people?

The ladies.

nope

not going there

I just thought of a new DDS show; the Dwick and Job show, you put Dwick and Job in a room together and they talk to each other while Terrorbyte is forced to listen, whomever of the two causes Terrorbyte an aneurism wins using only speech, wins.

Oh, hell no. I'm not getting in the same room as Dwick. There's something wrong with that guy.

Besides, as much as you love putting me down as the "crazy hobo" - mainly because you guys are as unoriginal as everybody else on the extranet and have yet to walk even a mile in my shoes - you have to admit, you guys like me. If it wasn't for me, then imagine how boring your lives would be?

Everybody needs a little Job in their life, is all I'm saying. You can learn a lot from someone who chooses to walk a different road.

hobo ladies

This is reminding me of something and I don't know what, but I know I don't like it.

It means you should get a job.

Unless you are a hobo and have never worked a day in your life.

Did you try talking to them?

This is also a good idea.

Faints dead away.

Oh, Palmer! I do so enjoy your impish, deadpan humour.

I love you too.

Fuck no

You should! We're people, just like you. I know it's fashionable to pretend you're big billy badass on this site and "don't need nobody to be in charge," but let's face it; in this universe, anyone can fall through the cracks. I've met mercs, bankers, lawyers, soldiers, politicians, artists and nobles down here in the gutters, tossed here through circumstance, politics, finances, or simple bad luck. Yeah, okay, some of us may seem a little crazy - you don't lose everything in your life without losing a chunk of yourself in the process - but by and large, we're good people. Just take precautions and treat us like you'd like to be treated, and we're fine. Few of us asked to be here, and many of us don't have anywhere else to go. Unless you're some two-dimensional caricature of a person pulled straight from a Z-list action movie on DDS, you'll find we have more in common than you realize.

Wait, so, where is this taking place? If it's on Omega, four is an unusually small crowd...
