Last night I was sitting up listening to, as ever, "Citizen Erased", and I got to thinking about rain. Rain rain rain rain rain.



See, for some reason, everytime I hear that damn song, (and when it came on last night, I just shrugged and accepted it as fate) I now imagine rain in the camp. Lots and lots of rain, a horrible storm with lightning. Lightning... could make a generator go out.

Not to mention that in storms, things tend to happen. Things tend to get destroyed. A sharp, jagged piece of metal could tend to get lodged in an unsuspecting company clerk's leg and break off and need to be removed. Savvy?

Okay, let me back up a little. Toward the end of the song, of course, the music gets all slow and pensive, and for some reason the image of Charles standing in the door of the office, staring out into the rain, popped into my head. Of course, it would be a violent rainstorm in the dead of night. Rain coming so hard that it bounced back up off the ground. At *first*, I thought of Klinger sitting on his bed unbeknownst to Charles, but then I recalled the generator incident right before Radar left, and the second that puppy went out, Klinger and someone were out there checking it out. So, then I rearranged it a little bit, and Klinger's walking toward the office, unsuccessful. And injured. Shrapnel of some kind, from lightning striking the fuggen generator and going kablooey. Stuck in his leg and possibly fracturing the bone. Not too violent or anything, and hell, accidents happen.

Anyway, it has to be removed and shit, and since a bunch of wounded are there and Hawkeye and BJ are busy, Charles has to do it. And I had a thought that maybe Klinger doesn't exactly trust him and is worried about the operation because there's nerve damage and he thinks he's going to lose his leg. "That's what anesthesia is for." was a random quote that made me giggle when it popped into my head, sort of as an homage to "That's what guns are for!" From Pocahontas.

I dunno. I thought it'd be funny if everyone else had to take over in shifts for Klinger's job, and I had a funny thought of Hawkeye trying to deliver mail and getting pissed because the letters were addressed so sloppily and maybe one of the letters addressed to him says "Hackeye" or something like that. XD Maybe also, he could give a letter to Charles and say that based on the length of the name, it's either for Charles or Trapper, and if they throw it in the garbage it'd probably get to Trapper faster than if they sent it back through the mail. Maybe then Charles says something about Klinger's job being really hard and whatever, and then Hawkeye says something along the lines of Klinger not being able to have a better doctor. Charles asks Hawkeye what he wants, and Hawkeye finishes with "or a better replacement mail carrier" and then he looks at the envelope and sees "Hackeye".

And I had a thought of Potter asking Klinger how he is, and Klinger's bed is next to some perv who said something raunchy about sponge baths. I dunno, but there should be an asshole in the bed next to him.

Of course, since Charles is Klinger's doctor and stuff... heeeehee. Much room for goodness.

My head hurts.
