Containment What will happen when Barb dies?

[Wraith]

Possible insanity that would happen: -
(Sorry if any of this was thought of before, but I'm just brainstorming right now.)

- Chris takes a while to realize his mom is dead, just leaves her laying on a couch or bed for a couple days before doing something.

- He might not report her death for a long enough time until her body begins to stink because his autistic mind can't handle the major life change that demands he actually do things proactively. Once called upon it he throws a fit about stress and not ever having done something like "this" before, "this" meaning being responsible in this manner and calling for help for something like this.

- Petition the court or social security to give him an increase in his daily tug boat because he can't get along with his current resources.

- Petition that his mom's current income come to him even though she's dead for the same reasons.

- He might snap and not report her passing in order to collect whatever checks she gets as income and try to perform fraud to take care of himself. He's tried to commit fraud before, what is to stop him from signing checks in her name? And this just ends up messed up worse because he'll spend some of that money on toys and crap. (I think I read articles years ago about this type of social security fraud happening in ol' Nippon from time to time when a relative passes away. Just don't report it and the checks keep coming in. Chris is filled with retarded levels of guile, so you can't discount something deceptive like this happening.)

- If it hasn't been said before, Chris demands income from past trolls because they owe him in his retarded mind.

- He gets extremely aggressive in getting a heart-sweet to take care of him. Knowing how he likes to disclose bucket-loads of personal info without anyone prompting him, that would be a part of his pitch. "Be with me because I need you to take car of my situation," or some such.

- A variant of above is him trying to lure someone to be a roommate in his house, renting out a room there. It will most likely be a female, as no men allowed reminding him what a real man is like, and us men are icky. This of course will lead to him being inappropriate with this person, making them pay too much in rent, and basically chasing someone stupid enough (yeah right,) away from staying with him and sharing expenses. Also Chris wouldn't pay his expenses and buy toys and crap, expecting whoever was dumb enough to stay there to cover for him. (This would fail as why would anyone want to live there?)

- His mind snaps at the potential responsibilities and drastic changes to his life, and he does... nothing. He'd just play his games and isolate himself in this scenario. The bills will pile up and things will deteriorate until the city investigates that home, he gets institutionalized and the place gets temporarily condemned.

- His begging to have Sonichu made into games and whatever reaches critical levels so he can get funding and gets himself in trouble that way, or just does things that are insane.

- Chris won't even go to the funeral, if there is one, because *stress* or whatever.

- He also might beg Cole to take care of funeral expenses and try to get him to move in with him, or let him move in with Cole (including getting Cole to pay for a massive Uhaul to move all his crap with him.) This will, of course, fail miserably. I don't think Cole would even come to the funeral.

- Chris goes on You Tube begging past heart-sweets for help, including financial support and a place to stay. He'll even name people like Megan for help. He might also make a general call for money to anyone in general. This will also fail.

- He might memorialize Barb in a new comic. Who am I kidding? He's now too lazy even for that.

- He makes the money attraction sign and goes out in public begging for support. He gets arrested for panhandling.

- He clearly, absolutely, will not do the most horrifying thing and get a damn job.

- His grief about his situation and not his mom's passing makes him extremely angry over his worsening situation and does something violent to someone because feelings of entitlement or paranoia.

- He tries playing vidya online, or allowing people to spend time with him for money, even up close as another form of him prostituting himself. Just any form of prostitution of himself using his reputation as something more than it is.

- He becomes a cause-celeb and ends up being the next Kato Kaelin before he's kicked out of some idiot celebrity's house for being a useless lump and / or inappropriate to people for various reasons.

- Some troll lures Chris to live with them in their place. He ends up in Harlem, San Francisco or L.A. and bad things happen to him.

- Dumb ass weens go crazy trying to push Chris over the edge. This has disastrous results.

- "Clyde Cash" or a Clyde Cash comes out of retirement to be benevolent to assist Chris in the difficulties initially with the loss of his mother. Chris though becomes too reliant and demands too much and it becomes a major problem.

Again, if anybody thought of those before, I'm just going down the autistic selfish rabbit hole to figure out how he might react. I'll never have what it takes to be a police profiler, but for right now this is the best I've got. He might surprise us and do things that are far worse than this.







- He dies of a heart attack, ascends towards the heavens and becomes the pagan god of autistics or of just plain stupid people. An annoying female autistic in Romania who wants to get into the fashion industry claims she is pregnant via a spiritual bent duck insemination and she is giving birth to either the new Chris-Jesus (he steals everything else, why not loot the western canon,) or the reincarnation of Chris, Chris II: Autistic Boogaloo. At least this time while growing up the baby would have a reason for crapping itself for a few years. (I seriously need need therapy from long term Chris exposure.)

- The Klingons take him back to his home planet and make a warrior out of him. His home planet needs him, or so they think....

- The souls of his deceased pets come back alive and his place becomes Pet Cemetery 9, the Autisticing. (Cue movie announcer voice....) They want to drag his soul to hell.

- Another anchuent prophecy comes true giving Chris the power of poo. He can crap at the speed of sound and propel himself into the sky making him an incompetent super zero.

- Petition the court or social security to give him an increase in his daily tug boat because he can't get along with his current resources.

- Petition that his mom's current income come to him even though she's dead for the same reasons.

He could "petition" all he wants, but he already gets half of Bob's tugboat money and that's it. He won't get Barb's added on top of that too. Not going to happen.

And whatever pension Barb may be getting will be shut off as soon as they get notice that she's dead.

Chris will just have to make do with the approx. 1,300 he gets from Uncle Sam each month, and he should feel damn lucky he will get even that. No more Venti Alicorn Fraps or costly Lego sets.

 

[Morose_Obesity]

I would personally go to La and chronicle Chris doing the 6th and San Pedro hobo thing. I went there to do a Bukowski tour kinda thing years back and know the waym

 

[Hyperion]

Good God man be reasonable, Chris is royalty! He DESERVES to have terrible drinks and plastic blocks!

He would shit himself and do nothing if he was offered the Queens riches in return for him taking over her busy schedule, she does not have time to lie in bed all day complaining about the trolls while playing with toys.

 

[Tennis-Ball-Tony]

I think this will be a definite. It's been fairly apparent that he desires a mommy figure girlfriend and being completely alone is really going to amp him up. Probably will stick to Twitter/online like we're seeing now, but it may extend to starting to pickup girls working at toystores or fast food joints. As long as they fit his hotness criteria.

Rocky's most likely going to have some contact, because she hasn't expressly told Chris to fuck off, and his goofy church is one of the few places he still feels "welcome" at.

- Chris takes a while to realize his mom is dead, just leaves her laying on a couch or bed for a couple days before doing something.

I think someone else said it best that when the day comes that Barb's having real issues, the EMS may take their good old time getting out there due to how many wellness checks they've done in the past with her. That could exacerbate the condition into actual death, but Chris will call 911 if the slightest thing is off with Barb.

- Chris goes on You Tube begging past heart-sweets for help, including financial support and a place to stay. He'll even name people like Megan for help. He might also make a general call for money to anyone in general. This will also fail.

This is probably going to happen. We will see very angry tard-lashings directed at Cole for letting his mother die all alone and how Cole never cared, but oh by the way Cole, I need money for the funeral and someone to take care of me.

There will probably be a heartfelt donation from the Farms and other folks, but other people in his life probably won't do much.

- Dumb ass weens go crazy trying to push Chris over the edge. This has disastrous results.

This is pretty much a given, but to what extent he'll react is another question. Chris got more sad than anything else after Bob passed and it wasn't until he was "Normal Christine" that the Game Stop and other things happened.

It will be interesting to see if he decides to do anything with the house. We know that he kept 10-20 bags of moldy old clothes around, and doesn't seem to have any interest in getting rid of those. Unless some sweetheart pushes him, or Rocky or an outside influence, I'm not sure Chris is going to do anything about the hoard.

It will be interesting when the EMTs have to come inside to retrieve Barb's body. That alone should trigger Adult protective Services to be sniffing around Chris at intervals; he won't be able to hide the hoard, and it's possible there will be difficulties getting TO the body, depending on where in the house it happens.

 

[IBA_Panhandler]

The Financhu Crisis is far from over, but Chris isn't quite as incompetent as weens like to think. That being said, while Chris's tugboat may be enough to cover day to day expenses and pay some bills, his jig will be up once Barb bites it. He's been quiet on the subject of the mortgage of late, but there's no way in hell he's going to be able to keep a roof over his head on $1300 a month, subtracting toy expenses, utility bills, etc., and I doubt whatever meager savings may be in Barb's bank account will be of much help. He'll be in an interesting dilemma with Severus and the mortgage; Chris could simply avert the whole disaster by moving into a shit tier apartment and pinching pennies until he gets his shit (relatively) together, but Chris's sheer financial lunacy compounded by his pathological aversion to change will preclude any possibility of that happening.

The shit train has been picking up speed on a collision course with the fan since the onset of the Crisis. Once Barb bites it, we'll see it fly off the tracks and explode with Chris still aboard.

Of course, this is assuming Greene County doesn't fuck him up when they come to retrieve the body and see the hoard firsthand. All the ween calls in the world pale in comparison to the shock those poor EMTs will receive when they enter the dragon's den for the first time.

There are people who live in much worse squalor than Chris, why would the county pay any attention to the goings on at 14BC?

 

[Lucas Wolf]

Chris at 47 years old, 3 months after Barb dies. She will live to be 87, and die from a microwave falling from the hoard on her head. Chris will end up in Jail for felony tax evasion and remain there until he is struck with a metal pipe in the jail showers by a big muscular man named Ben Dover. Chris lays on the cold, hard, damp ground. He sees a bright light, it's Sonichu! Chris says with joy. Sonichu takes his hand and leads him to Cwcville, where Bob , his sweetheart ,Patti, and daughter Crystal are waiting for him.
Barb goes to hell, and must eat and drink for eternity while getting flame-pitchforked up her ass by Mary Lee Walsh for eternity.

 

[Krispum Western Chumbler]

The day we find out Borb dieded will crash KF for a few days. I have to assume this is will be the absolute HOLY "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" GRAIL of posts.

 

[AnOminous]

As I once mentioned during Live chat, Barb could lay dead & rotting in the house for months but no matter how many calls are made to 911 to do a wellness check, the cops refuse to believe the callers. "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", anyone?

On the occasions where welfare checks have been called in, Barb showed up at the door and the authorities went away.

The results would probably be different if only Chris showed up and there was a dead, rotting Barb in the background.

Because weens?

Plus, Chris himself would probably call 911.
Say what you want about his tism, he'd probably notice if he didn't see Barb for a few days.

 

[fireatdawn]

I realize people are allowed to live in filth if they so choose to, but surely the neighbors are not so happy? I can only imagine the smell. And the state the yard is in. Couldn't they get something started, if enough of them bitched about it??

 

[Apteryx Owenii]

Most people don't die at home (only about 20%). Yes, I know that Barb isn't most people, but she doesn't seem afraid to get medical assistance. Guess it depends on what kind of medical event it is.

Even if first-responders come to the home, their priority is going to be to get out of there as soon as possible. I'm sure they CAN refer things to various county offices, but that doesn't mean it's something they're going to want to bother doing. Even if they do, any 'services' offered would probably be voluntary as Chris is competent, legally speaking (have gone through this in other threads of course).

I guess the worst thing that could happen would be if someone decided to call the fire marshal's office and they brought a citation pad for the code violations. I'm unconvinced that someone would decide to do that to someone who has just had his mother die, though. Governmental apathy goes a long way.

Looking at google maps I doubt it's the kind of area where that will happen. One of the other neighbors looks like he has a garbage pile in his backyard...

What can they do?

 

[Hyperion]

Hey guys remember when the hoard caught on fire and a firefighter was injured after he tripped on the stairs trying to deal with said fire?

Remember how the county did nothing because it's not illegal to hoard up your own property, no matter how dangerous it is for first responders?

Last I heard Kevin Havens broke into 14 BLC and made a fort in Barb's hoard and has been living in there with his love dolls ever since, the chandlers don't even notice him. Kevin sneaks out of the hoard every night and steals their food, which is why Chris keep begging for food money. He might perish in the keirig Fire 2.0 though.

At least one of the houses that is across the main street from Chris was up for sale. They even planted like 8 rows of corn in their yard that borders the Chandlers house in order to block their view.

I think a good possibly is that Chris, nor Barb, ever go outside during daytime hours much anymore. Chris also doesn't appear to be outside, running shit over with his car, or dressed up as a cheerleader taping himself dancing around. Both of their hours might be so limited that normal people are at work or in school when they start to stir.

The houses are far enough away to not hear any shouting. So outside of the jungle and scattered shit, it's not that bad.

 

[RADICALGOBLIN]

Here's my hypothesis

Chris will either blame others (or atleast l8er down the line) or try and get pity. (the latter is more likely) I don't think he's dumb enough to use it for the sake of his shit eBay junk because 1) he's not entirely stupid, 2) he does seem legit attached enough to barb to not use her as an ad for his stamps even with her abuse not withstanding.

However i think Chris would be able to get over it relatively easy if Bob's death is anything to go by, i mean after all he seems to have gotten over it, save a few mentions on Facebook. The real trouble is what Chris would do WITHOUT parental supportI think this might be a time where his white knights get more serious about the job shit because even with any sort of last will giving Chris lots of money he would still require a income that isn't unemployment checks to properly function, the only way i see that happening is if he moves to a new part of town with a lower cost which even then he'll have less shit to buy for himself and his taxes will probably go to shit since he most likely has no saving account and even if he did he doesn't even know what it's used for anyways.

With all this said, i think it'll be a couple years until Barb actually dies, so for all we know he'll have time to prepare.

(inb4 i say shit people have already said)
