001 - The Curse is Lifted

[whatwolverines]

Oh my... There is no way... Oh my god!

[If you walk anywhere near Griffin's room, you're going to hear one very loud, excited, and all around psychotic-sounding statement.]

THE LIONS WON!

[You better believe he's happy. The Lions gently beat DESTROYED the Redskins in an amazing NINETEEN POINTS to fourteen. It's been 21 months since the last time they won a game!]

Oh man, maybe Tony isn't such a bad kid after all! And maybe this is only the beginning! Maybe they'll get to the Super Bowl!

[He's got hiiiiigh hopes, dumdumdum!]

You're full of shit.

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Oh, what was that? A jealous disco dance-reject in denial of how awesome my team is? Hmmm~? []

[hailtotheorange.livejournal.com]

Awesome? When they haven't won a game since the Paleozoic era?

[Vince shouldn't talk. The Cubs haven't won a title since Nineteen-o-fucking-eight. Over a century of failure and pitching problems.]

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

One season of bad news gives way to one hundred seasons of awesomeness. So says karma, and myself.

He stares.
C-congratulations?

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

[]

Thank you!

[devilwentdownto.livejournal.com]

He jumps, staring up at him.
Y-yer welcome?

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Isn't today great? The sun is shining, the air is clear, the birds are singing and THE LIONS WON!

[]

[devilwentdownto.livejournal.com]

He stares.
S-so ah heard?

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Innit awesome? An' here I thought Tony was just a failure at life! Now, I've never been prouder?

[devilwentdownto.livejournal.com]

He stares.
A-an' how's Tony doin'? Ah ain't seen 'm since he was swearin' ya was gonna kill 'im.

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

[]

Oh you know, he's...doin' okay-ish.

[devilwentdownto.livejournal.com]

He nods.
Tha's good ta hear... Ya do know he didn' mean fer it ta happen righ'?

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Well, I know he didn't mean for it ta happen, but it still happened and...

[devilwentdownto.livejournal.com]

He sighs softly.
Cities do tend ta have trouble with that.

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Him especially. Everyone makes fun of him...

[]

But not anymore! I see things lookin' up for him! I mean, this has ta be a good omen, right?

[devilwentdownto.livejournal.com]

He nods, smiling weakly.
Yeah... yeah i's gotta be a good sign fer 'im.

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

[]

What's got ya down, little man? []

[devilwentdownto.livejournal.com]

He shakes his head.

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Oh, you don' look fine ta me! And I know fine. And you are not. []

[englassed.livejournal.com]

For serious? Maaaan, that's pretty awesome! Congrats, you guys!

[heart-ofitall.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, so now you admit that the Lions exist, huh? I guess even Tony can win every now and again...

[devilwentdownto.livejournal.com]

He shook his head.
'm fine really. I's jus' stress.

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

[]

Thanks, kid! Innit awesome? I'm actually pretty proud of Tony!

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah! But hey! I see this as a good omen!

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Oh? Stress over what?

[devilwentdownto.livejournal.com]

He shrugged.
Tha flood... tha Uranium bein' dropped in tha acid... near abou' everythin'.

[englassed.livejournal.com]

[ He's getting squished and it might be just a tiny bit difficult to get the words out, but he'll bear it. Because he is, of course, a good little kid sometimes. ]

That's -- good! Tony'd be h-h-happy to hear -- hear that!

[heart-ofitall.livejournal.com]

You have so much confidence in him... Well, who knows? Miracles have happened.

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Oh man, uranium? That stuff is bad news. [

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

[]

You bet he is! This totally makes up for that whole murder thing!

[]

[devilwentdownto.livejournal.com]

He nods nervously.
N-nothin' happened. A-an' Nate says i's nothin' ta worry abou'...

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Yeah, maybe they'll make a movie out of it? Like, 'The Lions' Big Comeback'!

[englassed.livejournal.com]

[ Well. There is a distinctive blueish tint that's beginning to color his face. But that's okay! ... Okay, no, it's not.

He is going to try and express his approval through some slightly strangled sounds that sound like an odd combination of, "Please let me go!" and "Yeah, that's great!" ]

[heart-ofitall.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're just so incredibly encouraging. Maybe you should wait to see if this isn't a fluke first.

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Eh? What's that? []

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

I bet it isn't! Just you wait. They'll be at the Super Bowl in no time!

[englassed.livejournal.com]

[ He takes a few breaths and his face sloooowly returns to its proper color. ]

I was just sayin' how great it is for you guys! Though'm not sure that really compares to like, murder, yanno? Comes close, though.

[heart-ofitall.livejournal.com]

I see. Haha, well, that explains a lot! It doesn't hurt to hope, I guess.

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Well, when ya lose every game in yer last season and have a ton of unsolved murders, ya kinda look for anything uplifting!

[englassed.livejournal.com]

I guess that's true... wouldn't really know myself, I guess.

[tokyocityrose.livejournal.com]

Claps.

I'm happy for you!
