Phone Interview with Plato

Day 1,427, 10:15 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by Sir Oric Von Lichtenstein








Hello, my fine forgotten friends! It has been a while. What have I been up to? The same boring things: work, school, girlfriends friends mistresses. Okay, maybe I've spent the last few months crying myself to sleep while watching Will & Grace.


It's funny because they're gay!

I've been periodically playing eRep for the last while, working at various jobs:



Even coming close to becoming a PP:



But now that I am roaming around, I see you people have done some wondrous things around here!

It's like an episode of Home Improvement.


& we can make bazookas, now? Did Plato watch Commando?



But I was wondering what kind of things Plato has changed in my absense, and things that he will be changing in the future, so I decided to call him up.

Phone Interview with Plato



Oric: Hello? Plato?
Unknown: No, this is his mother. Are you one of his little buddies from softball practice?
Oric: Uh...yeah...can I speak to him?
Mama Plato: Yes! Hang on, I think he's in his room dancing in the mirror again.

Mama Plato: Plato! It's one of your friends!
Plato: I told you to knock first!

Plato: Hey, who is this?
Oric: It's Oric! How's it going, man?
Plato: Oh...hey, Oric. It's good. Why are you calling me?
Oric: Uh, I was just wondering how things are going. I'm back on eRep for a bit, and was wondering what sort of things you'll be changing in the future.
Plato: Is this a phone interview?
Oric: No.
Plato: Well, then, let me put my pants on first.
Oric: Alright. Is that "Careless Whisper" I hear in the back?
Plato: No! You think I'm the kind of guy who would be listening to George Michaels?
Oric: There's nothing wrong with liking George Michaels.
Plato: It's not George Michaels! It's...uh...Eminem.
Oric: Oh, right on! The real slim shady!
Plato: Who?
Oric: Nevermind. So! Any plans for eRep?
Plato: Oh, do I! I have this idea, where I'm going to get rid of the economy--
Oric: Get rid of the economy?
Plato: --and replace it with dinosaurs!
Oric: ...uh...how's that going to work?
Plato: What do you mean, "how's that going to work?" It's dinosaurs!
Oric: ...um...okay...
Plato: And there's going to be diseases that you can get. Like, AIDS and stuff.
Oric: AIDS?
Plato: Yeah, man!
Oric: How would you get AIDS?
Plato: From the monkeys! Oh, I didn't tell you about the monkeys, did I? Instead of world leaders, we're having monkey geniuses run each country.
Oric: And...they all have AIDS.
Plato: Yup!
Oric: Uh...um...
Plato: So what do you think?
Oric: Uh, it's good!
Plato: Your voice just got high there.
Oric: I'm, uh, eating cantaloupes.
Plato: Your voice gets high when you eat cantaloupes?
Oric: It's...science, man...I do, really...like it. The dinosaur bit is great.
Plato: Thanks, man! Do you have any ideas? What do the people want?
Oric: Maybe letting them sell their bazookas?
Plato: Bazookas?
Oric: Yeah, you put bazookas in the game.
Plato: Really? Oh! Right, I remember now. Yeah, that was a crazy night. Me and my friend Rocko just finished watching Commando and--
Oric: Hahaha, Commando! I knew it!
Plato: Why are you laughing? What are you talking about?
Oric: Oh...I was laughing at...Seinfeld...
Plato: I love that show! "No soup for you!" Whoa, Oric. Oric. Oric! I just had an idea.
Oric: Did you now?
Plato: We make soup kitchens, to help new players!
Oric: Wow, that's...actually a really good idea, Plato!
Plato: But they have to be really nice to the Soup Nazi, or else they can't go there anymore. And we can integrate Constanza into the--
Oric: I have to go.

Remember, Plato, in the words of Sammy Davis Jr.: "If people don't make fun of you, they don't give a damn about you."

& we certainly do give a damn.
