"Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah."

Drool hung idly from Tourniquet's half open mouth. The words spewing from the manager's mouth wandering in one ear and falling out the other.

He and six others sat in uncomfortable metal husks of chairs, the table before them littered with countless forms and waivers, everything lit up in excruiatingly painful flourescence, providing even more pain to the already torturous atmosphere.

"Blah blah blah blah blah."

The words skittering around Tournequet's mind like headless roaches. A quick glance around the dismal room provided the sight that the other five people weren't fairing well either. One was picking his nose. Another scarwling violent words across his paperwork. And another was pulling her teeth out. 

Nobody was safe from this barrage of mental corrosion.

Tourniquet feels a nudge from behind, pulling his attention away from the slow and agonizing death and hopefully into the throes of a subject at least even an iota more interesting.

The man who nudged him was looking at him with feverish eyes. Accentuated only by apparent lifetime of acne scars that made his face home.

"Do you even understand what half of this witch is babbling about? He whispers with an almost ghostly voice.

Tourniquet raises an eyebrow, curious, the thing CAN speak. More astonishing is the fact that he can understand the human language...

"Not at all." was Tourniquet's curt reply.

The man's face slit open with a wolfish grin.

"At least she's hot. Gives me something else to think about while I sit here..." He chuckles and Tourniquet's mouth is distorted with disgust.

What looks like a pig, smells like a pig, and talks like a pig, probably is a pig.

"Blah blah blah blah blah."

A rather ghoulish character sitting across from Tourniquet finally snaps. Screaming, he pulls out a gun, shoves it in his mouth, and aptly proceeds to blow his brains out in a cascading rainbow of reds, blacks and gore.

Speckled with blood, the manager continues, "Blah blah blah and with that let me be the first to welcome you to Every-Mart!"
