    Shame you gotta carry a phone around. There oughta be some central location where you can find a phone.

      Since the world changed early this year, using a public phone, especially in a closed booth, seems (to put it mildly) ill-advised.

        The Narbonic–Skin Horse Cinematic Universe doesn’t seem to have experienced COVID19.

        Come to think of it, though, Helen Narbon dropping a vial of something through the Second Gate could explain a lot …

    What a great setup and punchline!

    I dunno, replace “pay phone” with “cheap prepaid cell phone”, and the cat’s probably not wrong.

      Assuming you can find a burner phone in the first place. They seem more common in fiction . . . never mind.

        I don’t know… I haven’t really paid much attention lately, but it used to be that you could pick up a cheap prepaid cell phone at any corner store or gas station. You could buy the phone and airtime for it with cash, so it couldn’t be traced back to you.

    I’m NOT in favor of the damned human electronic leashes, myself. But it seems to keep a LOT of dumb folks with their eyes hypnotically focused away from
    survivor-vision, so will likely help our ‘kind’s survival. MAYBE….

      Unfortunately, the distraction of those glued to their phones also imperils all those in their immediate vicinity, which often includes a lot of “our kind”.

        As an adh I can definitely second that my kind are easily distracted.

      Sapient animals don’t necessarily have the same lifespan as their unmodified counterparts. Look at Artie.

        You’re assuming sapient animals are “modified”. Not all are.

        Some non-human sapients are created people. Of those, some are created intentionally, others by accident. And some non-human sapients simply exist of their own accord, more or less as cryptids. And still others are aliens, like bees.

        And that’s not even getting into the unsettling detail that Hell is apparently a real place that actually exists in the Narboniverse, replete with devils.

          You’re also assuming that Cinnamon isn’t conflating “when you guys invented laser pointers” with when someone first demonstrated one to her.

            To a cat, is there a difference? Mine would have, I’m pretty sure, looked at me like a crazy person if I’d suggested there was.

    Hmm… Does Sergio know Artie’s name now?

      Oh! Yep. Cinnamon shouts it a bunch 🙂
