So apparently I'm the only one in this place capable of going into town without incurring some hideous form of trauma. What am I doing wrong?

Less texting more RUNNING.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

Why? Mad because I'm still kicking your arse?

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

I'd make the obvious comment, but it's generally considered bad taste. And cliché at this point.

Just stick with me, hon. I've only partaken in outside trauma once, I think, and that was when 'Yana was all wee and polite, so. Ages.

Also, you might want to invest in an Ebay account.

And auction what, my lack of traumatic contact with the outside world?

. . . wait. That would sell dead fast in this place. Thanks for the idea.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

This is why I'm the genius, dear.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

That's why you're the sexy genius. Forgive my lack of faith in your grasp of practicality; I live the boy who can construct a portable tsunami generator, yet lacks the capacity to make himself an unburned slice of toast for brekkie.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

I... um? Er. Okay?

Just. Forge is... Forge. He's all... Forge-like. And. Um.

Yeah, I'm done.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

I have acquired a taste for raw toast, thank you. It's all the rage in Europe.

[x-roulette.livejournal.com]

I haven't any trauma either. and I've been here a little longer than you. In fact, I think I've got the longest no-trouble streak.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

Ahh, but we have a Bond, you and I. Take, for example, our fabulous sense of style. (And no, Forge, the pink shirt does not include you in this category.)

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Blast!

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

See, YOU laugh. I had the equivalent weight of a small truck fall on my arm.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

Uh, got bounced off Medlab wall by Mr. Marko my first day, remember? I have no sympathy.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Throttled and snacked on a teacher your first day. You don't get any, either.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

I should! I haven't attacked a teacher ONCE (not counting hitting the Professor with a force three hurricane in the basement hall, but that was TOTALLY Catseye and Kylun's fault).

And do you have any IDEA what gravity warping does to an artificial neural system that depends on careful synchronicity and near-zero latency?

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

No, but I imagine it's none too good.

... do you have any idea what gravity shear does to the internal circuitry of certain psi-amplifying devices?

[x-legion.livejournal.com]

I'm a little concerned not assaulting a staff member warrants an award -- although admittedly I wouldn't be eligible. Maybe we should.

Although maybe Charles shouldn't count. I think everyone has accidentally attacked Charles at one point or another, at least back when I was around. Somehow I doubt that was even his first hurricane.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

Did I ask? Anyway, I also got my arse handed to me by Haroun and Rahne. I judge that debt to society paid in full.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Oh, you do, do you?

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

It's been months since my last outside of the mansion trauma. Longer than you have been here even.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

See, the inherent problem with that sentence is "it's been months since my last trauma." This is Not Normal. At least not the kidnapped by a supervillain bit. Standards have to be set.

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

I was not kidnapped. I've never been kidnapped. Tranqed by invading military forces, yes. But not kidnapped.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

And that's better then, is it?

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

That was years ago. I don't think it counts anymore.

paint yourself purple. that will solve all your problems.
