This is just further evidence of the lack of self restraint presented by the mundane

[brainier]

Let's get down to business, alright? You know what you want, I know what I want, and there seems to be a middle point where you will put your illogical reserves about trying to express the thought process of a clearly more intelligent person. You are not doing it glaringly bad, you know?

And besides, my age is irrelevant. Irrelevant, I say. Should I present you the data on that as well?

[ Oh God Why. ]

This society of us could go places. Places, lady mundane.

*sigh* Ain'tcha ever gonna take time ta be a kid, Val?

[brainier]

Uncle Ben, that's so overrated.

[idol_o_millions]

*face, meet palm*

Yer turnin' inta yer dad, ya know that?

[brainier]

I aim to surpass him eventually, actually. He is a good role model though.

[idol_o_millions]

Yeah. He is. ...Wait. Quit changin' the subject!

Don't make me drag yer mom in here on gettin' you out in the fresh air, Val. I'll do it.

[brainier]

I am not a shut in. Franklin makes sure of that.

[ Life choices Val. Life choices. ]

[idol_o_millions]

Uh-huh.

[brainier]

And you too.

[ Not blaming, just sayin' ]

[idol_o_millions]

Yeah, well, that's my job, ya know. Gotta look out fer you little guys.

"Society of us"?

[brainier]

I said she wasn't glaringly bad, but she does have her moments.

[ Shame on the mun u.u ]

[solveeverything]

Valeria ... we don't bully our mundanes into doing our bidding.

And your age is relevant. No one can deny your intelligence, but you're still a young child in every other sense -- and, as I recall, quite grounded.

[firegodrockstar]

THANK you! Finally, a Reed I don't want to smack upside the head! much, I DID see them icon keywords

[brainier]

That's my dad, after all.

[firegodrockstar]

Yeah, yeah he is.

Just try to remember that science doesn't keep you from being wrong, okay? Your dad's had that proven to him about a bajillion times, and he STILL keeps forgetting it because of lazy writers once he's had some more time in the lab.

[brainier]

I wouldn't be smarter if I thought that way.

Plus, intelligent people like other things besides intelligent people things, trust me. I'm still, 3 or 4, you pick, you know?

[firegodrockstar]

Well, hopefully. I still get a little worried about all that 'smarter than Dad, better than Dad' talk; it's good to have goals, but isn't it enough to just be great? Constantly measuring yourself against someone else isn't too far from going all 'they are my nemesis they must fall' and everything.

Oh believe me, I remember. Not always sure you do... But hey, why not spend some time messing around just for fun? You pick this time.

[brainier]

I think me and dad can do more together than separated, so there's no need to make him my nemesis. Too many theatrics for that.

Because this is my only hug icon

[firegodrockstar]

[Beware, Val! For now you must face a HUG ATTACK] See? You really are the smart one!

[solveeverything]

[ amused ] Thank you, Johnny. Though I'm sure you've wanted to "smack me upside the head" in the past, occasionally for deserved reasons...

[firegodrockstar]

More often than not, sure. But hey, it's not like you're blatantly violating international law building a prison for superheroes in a dimension that literally drains their will to live trying to take away the free will of humanity, like SOME Reeds out there.

My guess is they weren't getting enough headsmacks. [Griiiin.]

[brainier]

It's not bullying. I'm coaching her.

That's...subjective to your position on the timestream, yes!

[ Nope, she's almost always grounded. ]

[solveeverything]

Ah, coaching. Perhaps another reason your mother and I should never get you a pet.

My position on the timestream often varies, it's true. I can only assume your point is in my future, in that case.

[brainier]

Yes, coaching. As in being helpful.

That would make more sense.
