You realise that, as its 'master', you do, in fact, have a level of control over your ridiculous contraption. You could actually stop it electrocuting me every time I attempt to switch a light on.
Petulant? You're the one who took my bed outside because my side won the referendum and won't stop your pet project electrocuting me
And now you're asking me ridiculous questions about dreams and whatever I did when asleep isn't something I could control nor something that you can use against me!
I would ask you to pick something from that Italian place down the road, but I know you're rather parochial, preferring a home cooked roast, and that the Italian option is unlikely to win, so I'll ask for fish and chips, which neither of us really want but because we've split the vote it's allowed to slip through.
*walks into kitchen.* *Starts getting plates out of cupboard*
Makes a nice change. The tips of my fingers are still numb. *mutters* Bloody contraption with its sparks and shattered light bulbs and power surges blowing up radios. Ought to be unplugged and doused in water. Like living with a polterg- Peter!

Date: 2011-05-07 11:17 am (UTC)Indeed I could.
As it happens, The Machine is currently down for routine maintenance and is unable to electrify anything.

Date: 2011-05-07 12:25 pm (UTC)Repairs proceeding rather more rapidly than I expected. Enjoy the next three hours or so.
George, you haven't been having any odd dreams lately, have you?
(no subject)
Date: 2011-05-07 02:03 pm (UTC)Mattress is ruined forever. Hope you're happy.
An unusually high number of nightmares, stress presumably. Why? Have I been waking you up?

Date: 2011-05-07 02:10 pm (UTC)It required replacement anyway.
...yes, yes, I was just curious. Let me know if you still get them tonight.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-05-07 02:16 pm (UTC)Not immediate replacement. A fox hadn't taken a fancy to it before this point.
I don't see why I ought to.

Date: 2011-05-07 02:27 pm (UTC)Because you were gloating about the referendum, and I prevented The Machine electrocuting you for several hours today.
...I wasn't planning to use it against you, George, I was planning to check whether I'd managed to make them stop.

Date: 2011-05-07 02:36 pm (UTC)Celebrating. As you would have been.
Some sort of sweet mentality by which you can banish them with your very presence? As you've avoided me all week it would be somewhat unlikely.

Date: 2011-05-07 02:44 pm (UTC)I wouldn't have been half as obnoxious about it.
Something like that. Now are you coming round for dinner this evening or not?
(no subject)
Date: 2011-05-07 02:48 pm (UTC)Well it's certainly not safe in my kitchen so I suppose I might be forced to.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-05-07 02:50 pm (UTC)I shall expect you at around 7 o'clock.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-05-07 05:01 pm (UTC)Are you cooking or shall I pick something up? One answer only, don't care for your second preferences.

You know where the kitchen is. As far as I know nothing's electrified that shouldn't be.

Don't walk so quietly. Make noise. Like a human

Tell me you have some sort of decent wine lined up

Date: 2011-05-07 07:01 pm (UTC)After this day-Wouldn't put it past you to-
You're lucky I-
*Sigh*
Of course not. I have some sense of humour left. Food's up.
