They have their cell phones. We can find them in under, what is it Forge? Something like 15 seconds? And then Clarice could have me there in another 45 once I got a hold of her. That's the point of having the mandatory mobile devices.

nothing says love like electronic stalking.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

indeed! I am reminded, there are teleporters for all. In Attilan as well. You can all join us!

of course, that would require someone daring to approach Forge in the throes of his newest great work, and I am uncertain whether it is wise to expose oneself to a pulsating mass of Genius.

I still like Bobby better than you two. Sorry.

I see. I am to bespurned by every woman in my life. perhaps I should test this theory witht he one by the bar.

ah, wait. It's just the bloke with the long hair again.

Truly my life is full of hardship.

On the upside, you no longer have sharp teeth on your palms.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

Yes, those qualities did leave me quite hard up for dating. completely unviable. Quite a lakc of candlelit dinners and that. After all, a woman would have to be quite twisted to cast her nets into that lake.

tell him u've been naughty?

oh god no, wait, please, dont do that. agghhhhhhhh.

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

I think my new tiny roommate wouldn't appreciate the results of that game.

[x-roulette.livejournal.com]

yes, please dont scar the new kid. please dont scar US.

Not so much a great work as just business as usual. The benefit of having a 72 hour sleep cycle is that you can stretch out work to the hours when no one is likely to come by and bother you. Or to be sitting around texting drunken peers while system backups run.

you need some spot of sunshine in your life. And so we force it upon you by aggressively applied Reply All long beyond the recipient's capacity for interest.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

I have plenty of sunshine in my life. I just find it through methods other than inebriated antics.

the computer screen dont count as proper UV radiation

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

yes, yes. We shall allow you to resume playing with your system restore now.

You really have never been anything less than 40 years old inside, have you?

[x-aerial.livejournal.com]

You could just find out where you are.

They need to stop drinking. Please do not encourage them to continue drinking.

Have you ever tried to stop anyone from drinking without physically removing the alcohol from their presence? It's not possible. As long as they can keep texting, they're not in danger of alcohol poisoning. I'd rather they keep talking.

Reply to Terry

[x-aerial.livejournal.com]

So we should wait until they cease sending the drunken text messages and then go find them?

Also, I meant "please do not give them reasons to drink more than they had alreaded intended to drink", not "go find them and prevent them from obtaining more alcohol."

Reply to Crystal

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

I'm sure that I'm just a handy excuse. They don't need reasons to drink.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

So long as they're within about 500 miles, yes. I could give the whole spiel about cross-band persistent carrier theory and signal perpetuation enabling me to triangulate their location to within a meter in less than the aforementioned fifteen seconds - but there are character limits on these.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

Mate, you astound me with your ability to utter sentences that are unintelligible to all who hear them neither drunk nor sober.

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

I thought that was perfectly clear.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Dumbed-down: Yes, I know where you are as long as you have your phone or other RF-transmitting device on you. Of which you currently have three.

. . . strange. I trulyd id believe Kyle's talk of subdermal microchips was just alarmism.
