I appreciate your standing up for your beliefs. I appreciate your doing that - really. Of course there's going to be an adjustment period, but trust me, you've done the right thing. We'll get the... the storylines up and going before you realise it.

Yes, I think most everyone is agreed this big move is the right thing.

[angustifolium]

After seeing what kind of 'business practices' are going on? It's totally the right thing.

[tinfoil_angel]

I agree, considering they thought someone wouldn't translate what they were saying on twitter.

I also think their "rant about something" question was a direct taunt.

[angustifolium]

Given that they're now more interested in becoming a Facebook clone, and becoming a sales center in Singapore, I'm not really all that surprised. It's just a matter of getting people to move to other services that are more user-positive. My mun honestly doesn't doubt that they're doing this in an effort to get rid of all of the 'fandom-oriented' users.

[tinfoil_angel]

You're probably right.

So now my mundane will probably be working on transferring his tons of characters here, he wishes there was an easier way to do it though.

[angustifolium]

And mine has a decade of fanfiction to move over. Luckily most of it is saved elsewhere, but there are years of roleplays that span over 800 comments in places and...

And she's trying to think of ways to get her friend to do the backing-up instead of her, honestly.

I think it's the day's baking making her lazy.

[tinfoil_angel]

Ah mine hasn't been in any epic roleplays as of yet but he's thinking I'll have some luck here with everyone just as fresh to the community as himself.

Though now he is getting fidgety about using me. My abilities will probably be deemed "meta" in most communities.

[angustifolium]

Oh, well, that's actually pretty easy to deal with, depending on how your mun prefers to play. Mine doesn't like having time constraints? So she plays mostly in dressing rooms, so that if she has to take a break for a while, there won't be any real penalty. And in dressing rooms, it doesn't really matter what abilities you have. I mean, I have a pet dragon. That wouldn't really be okay in a lot of games.

[tinfoil_angel]

Hm then I might try that at some point but he wants to put me in a community with a consistent plot.

[angustifolium]

And those are great, too - it just depends on what you want to get into.

[tinfoil_angel]

Yes, also my mundane is amused by the fact that I would make your job as an investigator so much easier.

[angustifolium]

[He blinked, brows raising.] Oh really? How do you mean?

[tinfoil_angel]

Well I hope you don't find me rude for picking this out of your head.

[He paused a moment.]

But in some part of your mind, with the holidays coming up you're thinking about your mother.

[angustifolium]

...Uh. That's... not exactly a trick, you know? At the holidays, most people think about their family.

[tinfoil_angel]

Well I didn't want to say this outright but you're not just thinking about her because she's your mom.

You're thinking about her because she isn't mentally stable.

[angustifolium]

[And that got some pause.] ...Okay, so that's your way of saying that you're either telepathic or a mind reader, and I think I'd really kind of appreciate it if you didn't do that anymore, because my dragon does enough of that.

[tinfoil_angel]

Sorry, you're a man of science so I wasn't sure if you'd believe me if I said I could.

But don't worry, I don't normally do that and I don't judge for that sort of thing. After all, I can't say I'm completely right in the head and my skeletons run far deeper.

[After a moment he decided he needed to divert the topic.]

Mind reading isn't the only ability I have. I was rather proud of one thing I managed to do recently.

[angustifolium]

[Yes, subject change. Great idea. Reid nodded, encouraging.] What's that?

[tinfoil_angel]

It was raining, and I stopped it.

That was one of the most interesting experiences I've ever had.

[angustifolium]

[Reid's eyebrows shot up.] Wow. Now that's... That's a talent.

[tinfoil_angel]

Yeah, even I have to admit that was amazing. Though I was worried I'd lose my mind like another one of us.

She's a sweetheart but she isn't the same after something happened to her.

[angustifolium]

I guess I... kind of got lucky. Getting Curie probably could've made me think I was losing my mind, but she ended up saving my sanity. Should I-- ask what happened?

[tinfoil_angel]

She isn't ashamed of it so she wouldn't mind me saying.

She had a drug overdose. Since then she hasn't been completely there in the head but I think it allows her to play with our powers without being worried about losing her grip on reality.

[wannayiffyn]

That's right! I think they did the right thing by leaving that place. Those people were just a bunch of bullies!

[angustifolium]

[The idea of a drug overdose makes him wince. He never quite came close to that, but he can still see how it happens.] I... Drugs are worrisome no matter what. I hope she found help.
