    “Holy crap! Dorothy, you just verbed two never-before-verbed nouns in one 22-word sentence! Are you Shakespeare? Should I be following you around with an app that listens to your sentences for further neologisms, and then posts them directly to Urban Dictionary?”

    “Walky, stop linguisting! It’s out of character for you! Joyce is seriously residual-traumaing and maybe identity-crisising, and even though we interventioned last night, we’re still going to be responsibling until we’ve helped her through the Kubler-Rossing.”

    “GENIUS.”

        Yes. In the Halo games, the Covenant forces have a procedure they perform on the surfaces of enemy planets they wish to depopulate. Apparently, it involves superheating the planetary surface, and is called “glassing.” A planet that has been thus treated is referred to as having been “glassed.”

        I like to think this is what Dorothy is referring to when she says “then Joyce glassed him.” But I suppose “punched him in the face with a glass” works almost as well…

              The origin of that is, of course, the way sand becomes glass if you superheat it. So if you go to, for example, the first nuclear bomb test site, the whole patch of desert got melted and fused into glass. Kind of cool, in a REALLY eerie sort of way. Basically, that’s what the Elites did to most of Asia. Or Africa. Or wherever it was.

      I don’t know about that, but I was really annoyed with Billie’s entrance in to this scene. I wanted to see what Walky’s reaction was after the first shock of hearing it, but now Billie is likely to monopolize t he conversation or at least insert distracting comments.

    This is how imagine this will go:

    Sarah will kick Billie out of the room and Walky (her only “friends”) will finally understand she’s been treating him like crap and give her the cold shoulder.
    Then Billie will notice how pathetic she really is (unwanted, lonely and drunk), and will break down.

    If things don’t go this-way-ish, I’ll be deeply disappointed.

      But Walky is used to Billie treating him this way. Why would he suddenly wise up just ’cause Sarah kicked Billie out? Also, given that Billie was of some help the night before, I’m not 100% sure Sarah will kick her out unless she does something to upset Joyce .
