Spark 02: text only

[realmenknitplushies]

Hi. Got a question. It's more for people who've been here longer, but if anyone's got advice, it's cool.

Can't really believe I'm asking this, but - does anyone have any ideas for what to do when you miss your family? I try to talk to ma, but it doesn't always work. And I can't just keep ringing home.

[Yeah, if anyone's seen Kanji shouting into a phone, that's what he means by 'doesn't work'.]

I mean, I'm alright. It's not a big deal overall. But any tips?

She'll probably start wondering why I'm asking. But... I do kind of worry that she's doing alright, too. I should ask.

Don't know if I could come up with enough stuff to send one every night! But I guess that makes sense.

You don't need to come up with anything. Just talk about your day. That's all they really want to hear.

[the_prodigal_son]

Yeah, look at this.

[He switches to video long enough to show off his cool black glove that emits sparks of electricity.]

It's not like having the real power... I used to have it but it went away. So I've got that glove instead.

[Y'know what, screw all this text mess now the conversation's gone off mushy stuff. Kanji goes to audio.]

Where the hell d'you get somethin' like that?

[frigokinetic]

Yes, I think you should. And if she wonders, why not just tell her the truth?

[the_prodigal_son]

[Good, hearing the voice of the person he's talking to is much nicer than reading text.]

Dr. McCoy made it for my birthday. I lost my plasmids somehow so... [Uhhh....] ...I used to have way more than this. Electricity and fire and ice and bees and a bunch of other stuff, but now all I've got is my strength and this glove.

Knowing it's better in the long time helps.

I mean, I won't tell you it solves everything, but it helps.

You don't HAVE to edit them, it's just for your mother. Maybe later you could learn a bit, if you're not happy with the quality, but I'm sure she'd appurreciate it either way!

For me, it was to finally find my own path in life. Got tired of basically living in a cage.

I can help if you would like. I still have glitter glue!

[and boy does he have glitter glue]

[knighterrantofthedragon]

Well, I'm afraid I have no great advice off the top of my head, but if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

[tofudog]

Yesss!!!!

Re: [text]

[realmenknitplushies]

Well... guess it can't hurt. I'm pretty good at making things, though.

[soccerwhisperer]

All of your friends can help take pictures too!

[realmenknitplushies]

I guess I could. I just don't want her to start worrying instead.

Re: [text]

[realmenknitplushies]

Sure thing. You've given me some good ideas already.

[realmenknitplushies]

It was that bad, huh?

Re: text

[realmenknitplushies]

Yeah. At least it's something to look forward to.

[realmenknitplushies]

Huh. That's pretty neat. But your what now? ...wait, bees? Damn...

[realmenknitplushies]

[Still weird thinking about having many 'friends', really.]

I still don't know that many people. But if you think people'd help, I guess?

[realmenknitplushies]

[...okay, that's the second one, is the 'purr' thing a thing now? He might be smiling a bit at that. Aww.]

Guess so. I just want to do the thing right if I'm going to do it.

Re: text

[realmenknitplushies]

Huh. I just haven't really done a lot of that in the past.

Re: text

[knowitallgoddess]

Maybe you should start! There's no harm in it, at least.

[the_prodigal_son]

Plasmids. Drugs that give you mutations-

[Right. Only he really knows about them.]

They had them back where I'm from. And... one of them made your body make bees and they come out of your arms and you can control them. It's itchy and weird at first but you get used to it and they're kind of cute... and really fuzzy.

[And a perfect form of self-defense because, well.. it's mind-controlled bees.]
