Quote 6303

By the time you can see Central Mall, which looks like a giant elephant amond the other empty buildings the streets are eerily empty save for a few prostitutes, one of them a ghost.

<Seven`> (( lol, write him up ))

<aslhk> I don't think my pc can really pull off a secret identity =p
<tatterdemalion> Yeah. And Cal has almost no hope of it :p
<tatterdemalion> But the other pcs can.
<tatterdemalion> Nell probably wants to keep hers, just because she doesn't like publicity.
<tatterdemalion> Wayne .. hrm ... is insane. Could go either way :p
<tatterdemalion> PC: "But .. wayne .. how can you keep your ID secret if you wear youre costume to school?" Wayne: "What costume?" PC: "..."

<Alicia> "In Exalted you can take a starting Solar into a room, spout Jules' lines from Pulp Fiction verbatim, and then kill everything in the room, twice. In on round. And it makes sense.

<kentari> well I just want to put a light bulb on him
<kentari> that is wired to his head to light up when he's thinking about something
<kentari> for utter irony :P

Quote 6317

<AlcarGM> We ended last issue with sirens, blown up buildings, drug dog faces and Manus comforting a girl with the face of a money....
<AlcarGM> err ... that sounds more like UA than suspect it should.

Quote 6318

<AlcarGM> So! The four of you - including Fran - are standing beside the one ruined building, second floor currnetly burning merrily from an exploding gunman and surronded by a ruined volkswagon and lots of smoking holes from energy weapons. And a police car is coming down the street, lights flashing insistently like some really useful metaphor that is not sexual at all.
<AlcarGM> Fran is looking both awed and afraid, understanding why Manus's brother seems to fear him so for the first time and in a state of shock to boot.
* Paul` just waits in his trenchcoat... he's done this before :P
<Manus> "We should straighten this up with the police."
* Paul` flashes the policecar as it aproaches (J/K)
<AlcarGM> Darren: "I guess I should have put that costume on, or something. Damn."
<Paul`> (( Ok, so we were just out for a walk after school, and these guys jumped out and tried to shoot us and then they exploded ))

Quote 6319

<AlcarGM> The police car comes to a halt with two officers inside. The younger officer is looking around in a state akin to Fran's, the older one just gets out and looks around calmly, lihting a cigar. "'morning."
<Manus> "Good morning, officer."
<Paul`> "Good morning, officer."
<Paul`> (( lol ))
<Paul`> (( "I see you, too, have done this before!" ))
<AlcarGM> (( *shakes his head* ))
<Manus> (( lol! ))

Quote 6320

<AlcarGM> Officer Store frowns, then nods. "And the building...?"
<Manus> "Two of the men had bombs wired to them."
<Paul`> "They had bombs that they set off when things were going badly for them." *seems rather disturbed at the whole suicide bombing thing*"
* Manus does too =P
<Paul`> (( lol ))

Quote 6321

<AlcarGM> Officer henderson regards you all nervously, as if you might grow fangs at any moment. He looks rather jumpy, which isn't helped when the flames trail out of the building and fglow into Paul like a pet being called home.
<AlcarGM> Darren: "Okay. Now that is neat."
<Paul`> "I've never tried that before."
* Paul` is rather happy that he has found all sorts of new things to do with his powrs
<Paul`> (( wow, the typo demons are strong today ))
<AlcarGM> Store looks at the building. "Nice. Ever considered being a fire fighter on your days off from saving a planet?"
<Paul`> "I am now!"
* Paul` considers
* Paul` needs a part-time job to make some moneys, anyway
<Paul`> (( lol ))
<Paul`> (( how hilarious ))
<Paul`> (( Fireman by day, pyrokinetic superhero by night! ))
<AlcarGM> (( hey, more superheroes should be able to use their powers productively :p ))

Quote 6322

<Manus> "Fran, I don't think those men were looking for me. They seemed to be after you."
<tatterdemalion> (( Fran: "They were" *preens* "Well, my rates are rather reasonable, eh? You remember those, big boy?" ))
<tatterdemalion> Fran: "But .... why?"
* Manus shakes his head
<Manus> "I don't know, but they had no way of knowing I'd come through here. I didn't even know it until about an hour ago."
<tatterdemalion> Fran: "You should go! I don't want to endanger you!"
<Manus> "It's no bother at all, I assure you."
<tatterdemalion> Fran: "But ....." She looks around, the building pointing out in a subtle smug building way that it;s trying to be a metaphor for her life her, and not just scenery. "But then I must ..do something for you, as well. Do you need a maid? Housekeeper?"
<tatterdemalion> (( "sex slave?" ))
<Manus> (lol!)
<Manus> (four colour =P)
<tatterdemalion> (( today is a bad day for the 4 colour apect methinks :p ))

Quote 6323

* Manus leads the way to his Treasure (!) his Closet!
<Manus> (( he dresses flamboyantly =P ))
* Paul` looks for something that doesn't looks THAT bad
<Manus> There are many things which do not look THAT bad
<Manus> the trouble is finding two that do not look THAT bad together =P
<Manus> Good luck with that! Please make a spot check.
<Paul`> (( well, i guess paul can live with looking a bit flaming ))
<Paul`> (( HAHAHAHAHAH ))

Quote 6324

<AlcarGM`> Outside the Mall, you see 3 .. things. Like golems, made of earth and clay. They;re takking apart peopls, by virtue of ripping them into pieces.

<Johnny> "Awesome!"
<Mitch`> ".. Spin? What if we don't want to be public figures?"
<Mitch`> "I mean. We're not villains. Do we have to -prove- that? I thought our actions spoke for us.."
<AlcarGM> Ronald Wainwright III chuckles dryly. "Of course you have to, my dear boy. The public is ruled by soundbytes, by what the press tells them. And you do not want to make an enemy of the press. And .. " He looks pointedly outside. "That is hardly the work of people not wanting to be public figures. Unless you are hiding like Elvis is, who appears every week on tabloids."

<Mitch`> "Costumes, huh?"
<Mitch`> "I don't like the idea of costumes."
<Mitch`> "Maybe if they have utility."
<Paul`> "They help to avoid unwanted attention in daily life."
<Paul`> (( who would guess that the innocuous Mr. Phoenix was actually... The Phoenix?! ))
<Mitch`> "Its not like they couldn't get your height or something.."

Quote 6342

<Paul`> "And yeah, people have tried to kill them a few times, which is one of the reasons we moved up here."

<AlcarGM> Tina: "You need to eat healthier. Eat the bran flakes."
<Linda`^> "The what? What's wrong with these?" *raises up bag of M&Ms for breakfast*
<AlcarGM> Your mother frowns at the list the doctor gave her, and determines she can half half a carrot.
* Linda`^ looks at the list "What's that?"
<AlcarGM> Tina: "That is junk food, dear. I shouldn't even be buying it. It could rot your teeth, and we don't have decent dental... Oh, just an eating list, for the models. Scary, really. I believe it's a 300 calorie a day diet." She grins. "I told them brushing my teeth twice a day would put me over the limit, but they didn't find it funny."
<AlcarGM> (( Is it sad that I'm actually wondering if toothpaste would count for calories in a diet? ))
<Linda`^> "I bought them... You know that could kill you... not getting enough calories, as much as you work too"
<Linda`^> ((Yes))

Quote 6355

<Linda`^> "Who made up that name... arbiters... Jeeze.. I'll have to... Uhm... So what did you do when you were young?"
<Linda`^> "Oh hey, I'm working on this project.. fo ruh... science fair.."
<AlcarGM> Tina: "Well, ran around saving people, of course. But the world was much simpler then. no one tried to sue us, or demasnd we show in court, and no one got killed. A golden age, I think. A better time, a more innocent era. Before Superior Man went bad."
<Linda`^> "I need some... seed money."
<AlcarGM> Tina: "Seed money?" She looks amused. "Does it involve those M&Ms, dear?"
<Linda`^> "No. It involves lasers."
<AlcarGM> Tina: "Oh. That's all right then. How much do you need?'
<Linda`^> "How much can you give me?"

Quote 6356

<AlcarGM> Tina: "Nice try. What do you *think* you need?"
<Linda`^> "Ten thousand?"
<Paul`> (( lol! ))
<Linda`^> "i'll take fifty dollars though."
<Linda`^> "Lasers aren't cheap you know..."
* Linda`^ munches on her m&ms and milk
<Paul`> (( the breakfast of champions! ))

Quote 6357

<AlcarGM> Your mom nods. "Morning."She's watching the news and shakes herhead. "More super-children. The world gets stranger every year. Have you ever thought of joining one?"
<Paul`> "Um. That was actually me and some kids from school. Mitch just made up the name... apparently it makes the police happy." *seems rather embarassed*
<AlcarGM> Your mom stops in the process of flipping a pancake. "Oh...." She looks over at the TV. "I never thought to wonder - you had a earth monster try and stomp on you, son! When were you planning to tell us this?"
<Paul`> "When you asked how my first day of school went."
* Paul` grins sheepishly

Quote 6358

<Linda`^> "We decided to get some short wave radios instead..."
<AlcarGM> Darren: "With what money?"
* Paul` makes a mental note to check into a part-time job as a firefighter
<Linda`^> "We'll find something."
<AlcarGM> Nell: "We could look into sponsors. Put Coke labels on our costumes."
<Linda`^> "Do they do that?
* Paul` looks at Nell like she's crazy
<Paul`> (( "Instead of the Arbiters, we could be the Corporate Whores! I could change my name to Pimpmaster P, and you two could be Tricksie and Moneymaker!" ))
<AlcarGM> Mrs. Veritas: "Of course. Commercials, and the like. Doctor No! and Starbucks, which apparently is a lie, is the classic example. A few other heroes, like Nike Man with superspeed, do exist. But among serious heroes it's considered tacky, at best."

Quote 6359

<Paul`> (( if gamma waves were usable, the military would already be using them for wireless communication, given that it takes like a meter of lead to shield from them ))
<Linda`^> (( This is the comic book world... everything is possible ))
<Paul`> (( their wavelength is too long to carry useful amounts of data ))
<Johnny> (they are almost useless, really, irl)
<AlcarGM> (( They are. They just haven't told us, because the public is afraid we'll all mutate into jolly green giants ))
<Johnny> (well, unless you love cancer :P)
<Paul`> (( lol ))
<Linda`^> (( COMIC BOOK WORLD! ))
<Linda`^> (( There is no cancer in comic books ))
<Johnny> (lies :P)

Quote 6360

<Paul`> "Heroing isn't about money, it's about Doing the Right Thing!"

W: "I am one .. with the night!" R: "Ah. You're hiding in the corner of the studio..." W: '"I am one with the night! You canot see me!" R: "But you're right there.." ))

Quote 6362

<Mitch`> "Thanks for all the help, by the way. If you want a vacation or something that is legal and all, just let me know. I don't know if you're that programmed though."
* Mitch` says programmed like it means "advanced" or something
<AlcarGM> Robot: "I would like Chanukah off."
<Mitch`> "No problem."

Quote 6363

* Johnny pulls outs a hald a dozen folded masks :P
<Mitch`> "What are those, Johnny?"
* Johnny hands 3 to mitch and 3 to Darren, "If I get partially incinerated, toss me another, would you?"
* Mitch` .. nods.
<Mitch`> "If I get partially incinerated, please keep me from dying."
* Johnny nods :P
<Johnny> "Alright, Arbiters, we ready for this?"
<Linda`^> "If I get partially inceinerated make my death quick
* Mitch` blinks.
<Mitch`> "That's grim.. Is that a new costume, Wayne?"
* Mitch` smirks

Quote 6364

<Mitch`> "We have the technology.. we can reprogram that robot."

<Linda`^> "So we made superior man leave a bad guy... Guys I actually think this is a first..."

Quote 6366

<AlcarGM> Your class schedule just tells you to go to room 405, east wing. All you know is your parents talked a LOT with the school and government before sending you here and pu;lled a plot of favours for whatever reason.
* Creason sighs. It's not easy being a slightly unpredictable science experiment.

Quote 6367

<Creason> "Ah, okay. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Veritas. I'm Creason Holpepper, the new kid."
<AlcarGM> She nods. "Oh! Holepepper? I belkieve I talked with your father. He seemed quite proud of you."
* Creason takes a seat near the front... gets kinda intimidated by the closeness to the teacher, and stealthily slinks back a few seats without ever really standing up, and does this a few more times over the course of the next few minutes.

Quote 6368

<AlcarGM> You hear a voice inside your head. <Stupid. Kids playing adult games.>
* Creason waves his hands at his head, looking around for a second.
* Creason spins his head around (just his head)
<AlcarGM> Dexter just smirks. <What're you looking at?>
<Creason> "Seriously, dude, that's annoying!"
<AlcarGM> Dexter: <And your head spinning around isn't?>
* Creason turns back, raising his hand
<AlcarGM> Mrs Veritas: "Yes?"
<Creason> "He's doing the head thing again."

Quote 6369

<Creason> "So we're supposed to practice? I don't quite get it."
<AlcarGM> Dexter looks around the room. "Who cares. What's it like, stretching? Can you stretcjh specific body parts?"
<Creason> "I dunno. What's it like to not stretch?"
* Creason stretches his fingers out all alien-like to answer the other part
<AlcarGM> Dexter: "Normal." He looks around the room, frowning. "So what's sex like if you sttetch, then?"
<AlcarGM> (( Okay, I think that went beyond 4 colour. Damn. ))
* Creason blushes, though, and doesn't answer :)
<AlcarGM> Dexter smirks, his expression at odd with his almost mechanical voice. "You're not saying you never tried?"
* Creason decides to stretch a little, weaving through a few of the desks. once he gets a firm grounding, and starts making the desks move around like a roller coaster.
<Creason> "Dude, I'm 14! That's sick!"
<AlcarGM> Dexter: "So? I was 8."
<AlcarGM> (( makes a mental note that goth telepath is really bad for 4 colour ))
<aslhk> (( goth = bad =P ))

Quote 6370

<Creason> "You really need to find something to do with that mind of yours. Write poetry, or something."
* Creason attempts to help him up
<AlcarGM> Dexter glowers at you, which is hard to to while stopping a nose from bleeding. <Fine. I was wrong. Sorry,> sullenly.
<Creason> "Yeah, go figure. The next time someone says stop, just stop. There's no reason to be so... I dunno, evil about it? Like, I don't even want to eat."
<AlcarGM> Dexter; <I don't like people hitting me, okay?>
<AlcarGM> (( and that's why I became a superhero .. err ..let me rethink this.. :p ))
<Creason> "Dude, I was talking about the sex stuff!"
<AlcarGM> Dexter: <..... oh.>

Quote 6371

<AlcarGM> Okay. We end with you having a rather unconfortable lunch with your classmate and praying - if you are the praying sort - that you really hope the rest of the class isn't like this :p
<Creason> i sure as hell pray now. ;)
<aslhk> lol!
<AlcarGM> lol
* Creason takes his supplements, and then... uh... sits around, pretending to have lunch :)

Quote 6372

<AlcarGM> Nell: "Well, I've got about 60 dollars to my name for spending. Any store in particular you want to go to?"
* Linda`^ thinks "Let's get something to wear tomorow for our funeral."
<AlcarGM> Nell. "... what?"
<Linda`^> "Wellmine anyway.. If my mom finds out I skipped class I'm a dead woman." With a smile, heading into the clothing store
<sparkie> But unknown to Linda that was really her latent precognition power kicking in ... what?
<Linda`^> ?
* sparkie wants dice rolled.
<Linda`^> lol

Quote 6373

* Linda`^ picks something pink and puts it up to her chest "What do you think?"
<AlcarGM> Nell: "Well, Mitch might like it."
* Linda`^ growls and puts it back quickly
<AlcarGM> Nell grins. "You don't like?."
* Linda`^ raises an eyebrow "He's all yours if you want him.
<AlcarGM> Nell: "Hardly. Though the image of us dividing up the team for sex is delightfully twisted."
<AlcarGM> (( Nell: "Dibs on Wayne! Hah! Got you!" ))
<Linda`^> (( NOOO!! Ok, I'll take Darren, but only if he doesn't go blue on dates. ))
<Linda`^> "You're not into the orgy thing?" This is so not four color.
* Linda`^ picks up something black this time, tight as well "What about this?"
<AlcarGM> It's your fault this time. Not mine :p
<AlcarGM> Nell: "Not bad. I like it."
<AlcarGM> (( Nell: "Because I want you instead, so there!" ... or . .not :p ))
<Linda`^> (( Oh my god me too!!! Wait.. not.. four... color... bad.... images... ))

Quote 6374

Quote 6375

<AlcarGM> Nell watches the TV while waiting. "I met him once, you know. Awesome Man. Years ago."
<Linda`^> "Oh yeah? What was he like?"
* Linda`^ is busy in the bathroom yelling out
<AlcarGM> Nell: "Scary. But in a good way. It's like everyone is told to be good, but was good. Wholesome. Old fahsioned. He helped me make a good choice. We all try and be heroes, but he IS one. It was rather intimidating."
<Linda`^> "What choice was that? Which color looked good on you? I don't think even he has a fasion super sense."
<AlcarGM> Nell: "Oh, just in helping my foster mom find out about me."
<Linda`^> "Find out what about you? I mean she can't be your foster mom without knowing about you..."
<AlcarGM> nell: "Well, no, but our powers are sort of the same. So he told her about me, and then met me and talked with me. Scared the other kids at the halfway house to death."
<Linda`^> "Oh, really? That's neat... So did you get his number?"
<AlcarGM> Nell: "No. I don't think he even has a phone. Really old fashioned, you know. Why?"
<Linda`^> "I wouldn't mind having some super kids with him."
<AlcarGM> Nell: "...."

<AlcarGM> Dexter has been making friends :p
<Creason> ROFL

Quote 6378

<AlcarGM> Mr. Kimpuh: "That was the warning," flatly. The air blurs as he shakes the kid rather qukckly. Dexter shakes his head, his nose bleeding and looking rather rattled - literally.
<AlcarGM> Nell: "Er ... Mr. Kimpuh. he is a student....."
<Linda`^> "Please don't abuse my team mate Mr. Kimpuh."
* Mitch` lets the others speak for the feelings he shares!
<Creason> "Aw man, he isn't seriously gonna be on the team, is he?"
<AlcarGM> (( and Creason speaks for the other feelings everyone shares :) ))
<Mitch`> "We don't have anyone quite like him on the team already.. he'd be an asset, you know."
<Creason> "I agree with part of the word 'asset.'"

Quote 6379

<AlcarGM> Mrs. Veritas: "Well, so far your impromtu lessons - dealing with threats - have been against superior forces." She puts a map on then table. "The very south end. Not ghetto, but mostly drugs, and drug deealers. Most of the superhero teams don't have time to deal with it. I'd like you all to try. The only threat is likely people with guns, so you'll have to be ca\freful."
<Linda`^> "You want us to tell people not to do drugs?"
<Mitch`> "ONLY?!"
<Mitch`> "ONLY guns?!"
* Mitch` gawks.
<Manus> (lol!)
<Mitch`> "I mean. I'm already busy tonight, but .. still.."
<AlcarGM> Mrs. Veritas: "Hardly. To stop drug dealers, instead. Take them down, basically." She looks at Mitch. "Yes?"
<Mitch`> "ONLY guns??"
* Mitch` blurts out, as if unable to communicate the sheer disbelief of it all, "GUNS!"

Quote 6380

<Linda`^> perfect scenerio of someone trying to hide their powers: They get kidnapped and they make a phone like on that one movie that dials a random number.. "Ok, I've got someone.. it's a machine... Oh my god it's my home macine!" "Good tell your mom to call the police!" "I can't do that she doesn't know-- Hi mom, just me checking in, I'm going to be late tonight, bye!" "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" "I froze I didn't know what to do!"

Quote 6381

<Creason> "This'll be awesome! I hope my mom finished my outfit, like she said she would."
<Mitch`> "Your costume?"
<Creason> "Well, yeah. Costume sounds kinda... Halloweenish."

Quote 6382

<Creason> <So, would it bother you if I started projecting... I dunno, show tunes at you?>
* Creason starts singing the "OOOOOHHHHHH" in Oklahoma for a long as he can keep concentrated on it :)
<AlcarGM> (( LOL! ))

<AlcarGM> * Manus does the same with zest =P
<AlcarGM> <AlcarGM> no reply :p
<Creason> LOL
<Creason> sweet!!

Quote 6383

<AlcarGM> Nell: "Okay. So. Five of us, and a lot of drug dealers. Any thoughts?"
<Linda`^> "How do we even know who's a drug dealer and who's not?
* Creason gives Dexter a really dark look, and starts turning on a couple little devices, sticking some pads here and there.
* Creason grumbles at Dexter
<AlcarGM> Nell: "Good question ... will you kids please knock it off? .... I'm guessing whoever tries to shoot us."
* Creason blinks
<Creason> "You're kidding, right? You're just gonna walk around and wait for people to shoot at you?"

Quote 6384

<Creason> "Some of those people need help! Have we gotten ahold of the police yet?"
<AlcarGM> The girl dexter helped looks around nevously, then latches onto Creason as the only person close to her age "i want to go home."
<AlcarGM> Darren: "Give me a second...." he walks outside, then shoots energy from feet, goes up, and glows, lighting the area up like a giant spotlight, then crashes down.
<Creason> "Um, totally! Are you alright now?"
<AlcarGM> Darren: "Ow..." from a middle of a hole. "Well. I hope that got someone's attention."
<AlcarGM> The girl gives Creason a confused look, then smiles. "I . .am? it's gone! It's gone! I'm ... me again..." She hugs Creason :p
* Creason looks for a phone in the room :)
<AlcarGM> Creason - there is one in the far corner :p
<Linda`^> (( Looks like somebody has a girlfriiiiieeeeeend! ))
<AlcarGM> Darren comes in, looks at the phone. "That would have been easier...."

Quote 6385

<Nezumi> ... I read about a GM who apparently thought that since Shadowrun had an odd combination of genres, it was a comedy game. He tried to run it like Toon Cyberpunk, without prior warning. One character even got squashed by a falling safe.

Quote 6386

<AlcarGM> Okay. Of all the ways to spend an evening, escorting a stumbling telepathic goth kid who needs make up tips home somehow never made your list of fun things to do.Wonder why.
<AlcarGM> About five blocks from the nice house Dexter looks a bit better, A lot less pale, at least. <Better.>
* Linda`^ puts his arm over her shoulder and sighs "Don't be getting any ideas about this..."

Quote 6387

<AlcarGM> Dexter: <"friend" .... that's funny. I don't believe in friends. We use each other. It's what people do. Control. Bind.>
<Linda`^> "So you're saying you made me help you home? That you made me feel worried when you weren't feeling well? You made me come along to make sure nobody on my team got hurt?"
<AlcarGM> Dexter: <... I could have.> He's silent for a long time, just walking, then <Why? Who do you .. help people, with no benefit?>
* Linda`^ shrugs
<Linda`^> "It's what I do."
<AlcarGM> Dexter: <But it's stupid! It doesn't make sense!>
<Linda`^> "Nobody said it had to make sense."
<AlcarGM> Dexter: <No, I mean ... you get nothing from it, gain nothing from it. Nothing changes. It just gets worse.>
<AlcarGM> (( nicely goth, I think :p ))

Quote 6388

<AlcarGM> Dexter: <They don't find a cure. A month. Superspeed increases the size. Parts of her always moving fast.>
<Linda`^> "Where are you getting this!? Stoppit it's not helping! I don't want to think about that!"
* Linda`^ looks scared at her mother
<AlcarGM> Tina: "What?!"
* Linda`^ begins to cry and rushes to her room
<AlcarGM> Dexter: <From a future. I see them. Nothing definite. Just what may be. *puzzlement* Is something wrong?>
<AlcarGM> Your mother grabs your arm as you go past, not too firmly. "Linda. I don't want to think about it either. But it will be all right!"
* Linda`^ would glare a deadly glare of hush and sarcasm... if dexter were tehre...
* Linda`^ instead gives it to her mother
<AlcarGM> (( the sad part is he thinks he's helping. ))
<Linda`^> (( I know it's so sad!! ))

Quote 6389

<AlcarGM> Dexter: <It's what doing to happen, if the cancer goes bad. All I see is that it does. 9 of 10. Sorry. Should she know? She thinks she's going to live. I could tell her.>
<Linda`^> "No! That won't help at all!"
<AlcarGM> Tina steps backwards, confused. "How won't that be right?"
<AlcarGM> Dexter: <oh. *confusion* Why do you cry now and not when she is dead? Is that a hero thing?>
<Linda`^> "No, it's not its... A daughter thing..." Zoning her own mother from her vision and talking to dexter
<AlcarGM> Dexter: <But ..... I did, when my mom died. I cried for hours.> pause <Except she's not dead.> pause <Sometimes it's confusing. Is that why you cry?>

Quote 6390

<Linda`^> could my life get any worse?

Quote 6391

* Linda`^ sighs and goes to her window, turns off her lights and opens it quietly
<AlcarGM> Your mother doesn't hear, thankfully.
<Linda`^> (( OR is that what you want me to THINK? ))
<AlcarGM> (( or did I type that so you would think it's what I didn't want you to think when I really wanted you to think I didn'
