So let me see if I've got it straight.

A place where I'm free to be me in all my wizardly glory (which is kind of a mixed bag if you ask me - being me brings on a whole slew of crap that contradicts the other stuff)
A place that can be a little more light hearted (and don't get me wrong, I'd be happy to just sit around eating Burger King and drinking beer. I'm getting older you know. Can't be pulling all nighters all the time saving the world and having everything with a bad mood trying to kill me.)
And a place where you won't get left behind if you don't have time to go into a chat room.

Heh, good luck with that. I'll just be over here laying low. Besides you know what happens when I get near anything chat-room-like. *makes an explosion motion with the fingers on both hands* don't go blaming me if you're dragging me too close to you computer gizmos.

Over sixty? What the heck are you?

I'd like to just sit and drink my beer if it's all the same, the rest of my life provides enough excitement that my beer should be meditative.

A human science experiment. Don't break your brain on the details.

That's what whiskey's for, pal.

You're human? What did they do, feed you formaldehyde every day of your life or something? You didn't go making deals with fairies did you?

Whiskey costs more.

Nope. They tried to make super soldiers.

Not in the long run.

Like Wolverine?

Dude, my long run looks more pathetic than my short run. I kind of live job to job here.

Sure, somethin' like that.

Clearly you should charge more.

Did it work? Other than the youth thing I mean which is impressive.

It's supply and demand. And uh... me being a sucker sometimes I guess.

Sort of. I got some crazy mind mojo, but if I use it too much, it makes me nuts. I wouldn't call that a success.

You need a manager.

[OOC: If you're still looking for a game,

tartarusnet would love to have you!]

Can you move things with it? I guess you wouldn't want to if you went nuts. Although I sometimes wonder if I'd enjoy life more being nuts.

Don't you have to pay managers? I don't think there's much call for managers in the private eye business.

[Thanks for the invite! Although... horror and torture based are kind of what my mundane is trying to avoid XD so er... probably not?]

Yeah...and I can screw with your head with it, too. Don't mean it's a good idea. I'm talkin' about the kind of nuts where you forget right and wrong, sociopathic nuts.

There would be if they netted you more dough.

[OOC: Aww! That's cool, though! I'm enjoying the thread!]

Screwing with heads breaks the law. So yeah, not so good. Also sociopaths are definitely not good. Glad you're playing it safe.

Sounds like a chicken and egg thing. Don't have the money for a manager to help me make more money. I don't much like having to worry about other people in my line of work when I can avoid it anyway.

[likewise!]

Not in my neck of the woods, but I'm not fond of feeling like a monster, either.

Well, you gotta spend money to make money.

Yeah, where I'm from they lop your head right off if you go around doing that kind of thing. Yeah you start using dark stuff like that it catches back up. Great power and all that stuff.

There's just the one part of that that's a problem for me. The intial money part.

Spiderman? Really?

Get a loan?

((in advance, my apologies, he should probably know your canon but seeing as my personal knowledge of comic books is pretty much what's had movies or TV shows made, I am not going to go trying to play fanboy of a series I know nothing about, I'll screw it up enough on the regular ones XD))

Nothing wrong with Spiderman. Should I have gone with Gandalf instead?

That would require credit.

((He might know it? It's WildStorm Comics, original Grifter, before they were bought by DC and rebooted lol.))

Well, it does have a sort of "secret and safe" vibe.

Depends on who you're borrowin' money from.

Maybe I should pull out my Dune references or something. My geekitute is bigger than yours or something?

No one in their right mind would let me borrow money. And I don't want to owe anyone in their left mind man. Those people are crazy.

Have at it, man. My repertoire's a little weak. Been sort of busy.

Nah, they're just big on punctuality and interest, usually in knee-caps.

Busy?

I like my kneecaps on my knees where they belong. I don't like associating with those kinds of guys.

I guess I'm kind of my own worst enemy when it comes to not being broke all the time. But you gotta feel good about what you do too, you know?
