Okay, with that out of the way, thoughts on those jackasses on the forums? And heyyy how are you all holding up, everyone doing okay, nobody's turned into a giant monster yet?

[Private to Mordin Solus and also Aaron Strider]

Hey, you two, I was wondering if I could make an actual appointment at the clinic? I have cybernetic eyes I've had for a month and I want to know how the hell they're actually allowing me to see. Also, I've had this really annoying buzzing noise in my chest that gets worse when I have one of those flashbacks, or when I get body dysphoria. Worried that I've grown more robot bits, but I can't be sure. Either one of you free? [/private]

LOL, right? I'm Japanese so I knew about it but I was never that great with it before. The cups I could sometimes pull off, but the spike on the top was downright impossible.

[reapsthewind]

Man some people get the WEIRDEST stuff I swear...

[wordsgate]

What, you haven't yet gotten a useless skill with a toy yet? No ability to make sure your Hot Wheels manage to make it through the loop every single time?

[reapsthewind]

I got a surprise skill with an obsolete gun, actually. From World War II. Which I still haven't returned to Casval Mass.

So no, not really.

[wordsgate]

At least it's an actual weapon!

[reapsthewind]

Yeah but I don't wanna use it, y'know? I'd rather have something more, y'know... nonlethal.

[wordsgate]

I see. Maybe you could get something that shoots tranquilizers? That'd be similar to a gun but it wouldn't kill anyone. Not that I know anything about guns.

[reapsthewind]

I'm only good at this very specific kind of gun, though. Like, a tranq gun would be preferable, but I'd have no idea how to use it.

[wordsgate]

Oh. Well, that's a problem.

I wonder if there's anywhere around here you could be trained in something like that? Of course, that would probably be suspicious to The Powers That Be.

[reapsthewind]

I don't really want to, even.

I don't want to admit that this is a war. Let's just leave it as a revolution, for a while, as just us vs the man. War isn't something I want to deal with yet.

[wordsgate]

I don't think it's a war, but...if we fight them and push them back, maybe we can stop things BEFORE it becomes a war.

[reapsthewind]

See, that kind of thinking, the whole preemptive strike stuff? That's what's going to get us into a war. I just... yeah.

[wordsgate]

I guess that's possible. But what are we supposed to do, nothing? I didn't do a thing against them before that detective came. I didn't choose to start this fight before they came into my home. What happens if they decide they have to go after me? Will my mother get involved in it, too?

[reapsthewind]

No! I mean... resistance, yeah, I just don't want to go in guns blazing like we did with the wolfmen! We don't even know what we're fighting. We need to learn about our enemy first, maybe even infiltrate them. And even then, hit and run, and sabotage. We don't want civvies involved, better to do this subtly.

[wordsgate]

Hm. ...Yeah, good point. That sounds like a smarter course of action.

Sorry, I didn't mean to get so intense.
