mun just saw the peter reserve.

[raisedtobe]

You've tried this before, mun. What makes you think this time is going to go any different? Just because you've got me settled into that little Steampunker's wet dream doesn't mean you can handle me in two places at once. So just step away from that tab and let's just forget you even thought about it, okay?

And don't make me go hard-ass on you; you know you'll just regret it.

You know I'm going to make you elaborate on that a little, right?

[raisedtobe]

What are you going to do, pout at me until I cave?

[adamantined]

You wouldn't have mentioned it if you didn't want me to ask about it.

[raisedtobe]

[ Stupid Claire and your stupid logic. 8| ]

The place she had me the first time around had this so-called goddess that took powers away. Like she was afraid of her captives having them because she was worried they'd end up taking over.

[adamantined]

It makes sense, in a way. Look at some of the people from our world. Too much power in the wrong hands, or even in the right hands, always pisses someone off. If you're the most powerful, it makes sense you'd want it to stay that way.

[Pause, and then more gently than she has any reason to be:]

Having no power would probably still be better than short circuiting everywhere.

[raisedtobe]

[ Her jaw clenches slightly. ]

How would you feel if someone took away your power completely, Claire? If they took that part of you without warning? It's not right.

[adamantined]

[No immediate answer. Because her line of thinking isn't, 'how would you feel if you couldn't fall fifty feet and walk away from it?' It's more, 'how would you feel if someone told you that you didn't have to watch everyone around you die?']

I guess I wouldn't be baking without oven mitts if that happened. I've been powerless before, Elle. I spent three years in a place that did stuff like that whenever the guys in charge felt like it. But I didn't grow up thinking what I had was something cool.

[raisedtobe]

That's probably because your power sucks. [ And, you know, her not knowing about it her entire life. ] I mean, who cares if you don't have to deal with a broken arm for weeks? I can fry the crap out of anything I want.

[adamantined]

Wow, cool, you can make your own grilled cheese. Too bad you could also get yourself killed if you forget an umbrella.

you know, if you're shopping around for a game for claire... :3

[raisedtobe]

[ Glare. ] Lucky for me, it doesn't rain that often in Anatole. [ ...so far. ]

i have definitely, definitely given scorched a look before :3 and have been thinksing about it

[adamantined]

How do you take a shower, anyway? Wash your hands?

oh man! :D if you have any questions, lemme know~ i'd love to have your claire there!

[raisedtobe]

The same way anyone else does. [ She just does it faster. ] It's not like I'm constantly producing electricity.

i will, i will! and i will give the game a closer look a little later tonight

[adamantined]

So you're safe as long as no one sneaks up behind you. Or as long as there isn't an eclipse.

awesome~

[raisedtobe]

Yep. People shouldn't be sneaking up on me, anyway.

your elle is lovely by the way~

[adamantined]

You shouldn't give them reason to want to.

ghajghak thank you!

[raisedtobe]

I don't, but there are people out there who would probably think it'd be entertaining.

<3~

[adamantined]

Does that mean you've reformed, too? Because I know what I'd do in that situation.

LMFAO that icon.

[raisedtobe]

Why don't you try something and find out?

hahahaha she makes some of the best faces, i can't lie

[adamantined]

Is that supposed to freak me out?

she really does.

[raisedtobe]

No. Even if it was, you'll just come back like a video game character. [ God, she could've used Claire a couple weeks ago. ]

kbell has it in the bag too. did you see the video of her crying over sloths?

[adamantined]

[That's almost as bad as being called Miracle Grow.]

I thought you said you weren't high and playing video games.

oh my god, yes. HE'S COMING TO THE PARTY?! she's so cute.

[raisedtobe]

I'm not. I don't even think they know what video games are in Anatole, but I don't have to be playing them to make references.

hahahsdljfs i died

[adamantined]

What do they have there? Is there even electricity?

me too.

[raisedtobe]

Barely. I told you, it's some kind of Victorian place. It's a huge ten steps back from what we're used to.

[adamantined]

Does that mean you have to wear frilly dresses and corsets and stuff?
