Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 3:37 am"Oh, I think she meant it," Natalie said. "And she's right, I'll always be me, no matter what body I'm in. But we've already been over my views on what I am."

Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 3:42 am"To what end, Sam? What would be the point? Having both of us be unhappy again?"
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 3:48 am"To salvage the friendship, aye?"
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 3:51 amNatalie raises her hands, "I don't think that's possible, but if you want to waste your time on it, go for it, I guess. Nothing I say's going to stop you."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 5:49 pm"I'm sorry I'm just... I want to help, aye?"
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 5:59 pm"And I appreciate that you do. I just don't think there's anything there to help anymore."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 6:05 pm"...seems to be going around," she sighs.
Re: Something That I Used To Know

Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 6:10 pm"It's just frustrating, aye? We made it out, Conduit and Thresher are in custody, and it should feel like a victory."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 6:22 pm"You'll get no argument from me there. I feel like up until very recently I've been scrambling to deal with some of the issues that this new form has caused."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 6:29 pm"So we're all just walking wounded around here. Conduit got in a lot of people's heads, I think."
"Or well... whoever she was working with."

Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 6:51 pm"Well I mean... they had someone in Cerebra, Natalie. I'm pretty sure of it."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 7:18 pm"That would explain some things. It was hard to decipher the data though. I assumed that was because Conduit had it all messed up with her power."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 7:20 pm"I got some flashes of it when everything was breaking down. It was like I was there."
"Did we catch more people than just Conduit and Thresher?"

Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 7:33 pm"Not that I'm aware of. I didn't even know there was someone else until you said something."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 7:42 pm"Well that's... disconcerting, then."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 7:58 pm"Hopefully we can recreate some of the security footage or I can try to recreate some of Conduit's data. There might be something there."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 8:06 pm"Aye. Probably still a mess right now, but maybe the headmistress has something."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 8:27 pm"I'll bring it up with her. She and I are spending a lot of time in the workshop."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 8:30 pm"Kind of figured you might have a bit of an inside track," she smirks.
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 8:40 pm"She's not so bad. I think a lot of people just don't understand her or get put off by her."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 8:49 pm"I think I'm still on her troublemaker list after the Cerebra incident."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 8:53 pm"To be fair, I think everyone's on her troublemaker list. Even me."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 8:57 pm"Well apparently you can live in one of her bodies. That's something that'd unnerve me."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 9:02 pm"Oh, I think I was on that list well before this. I think this actually fascinates her. She's reviewing some of the code I had to write to make this work."

Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2018 9:28 pm"Computer science buddies," she says with a small laugh. "This unique situation means we have something to offer each other along those lines. Something to learn from each other. I really want to take advantage of that."
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2018 5:43 pm"So I guess they won't be kicking you out of the workshop again so soon, aye?"
Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2018 5:48 pm"If nothing else, it's the only good place I can charge at the moment until they get the charging station installed in my dorm room. But my armor suit project has become a step towards figuring out if we can get me back into my body, so I need to complete it sooner rather than later."

Re: Something That I Used To Know
Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2018 6:29 pm"Maybe in the suit. It's the dry run for the interface we're going to try to develop to see if we can get me back in my body."
