Posted: Thu Mar 09, 2017 11:22 pm"Yeah... but then I'd have to let people poke and prod me. Sounds annoying."
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 1:38 pm"True. But sometimes poking and prodding it the way things get figured out."
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 3:28 pm"But if my tolerance for heat remains unexplained it'll add to my air of mystique." she grins.

Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 3:39 pm"Convenient but boring. I guess that's some peoples' cuppa tea." she teases.
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 3:48 pm"I'm not... boring," Natalie says, a little flustered.
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 4:13 pm"Hey, there's nothing wrong with boring. I hear boring people can live long and fulfilled lifes too with a little luck." she goes on, because she doesn't necessarily know when to cut it off with the jokes.

Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 4:23 pmThat seems to depress Natalie's mood significantly. "Well, one can always hope," she say with a flat smile.
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 4:28 pmThat at least Shari notices. "Oh, hey, come on, I'm just messing around. I'm sorry..."
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 4:32 pm"No, no. It's alright," she says, trying to wave it off. "My power's cool and everything, but it's no shapeshifting or super strength or anything flashy. It's never going to be flashy, so understanding it inside and out is all I've really got, you know?"
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 4:41 pm"Oh. Ooh!" Suddenly that time Natalie walked out on her and Alex made a lot more sense. "No, I think I get it. But I bet there's a way to make yours flashy too, at least for a bit! We just gotta find it!"
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 4:50 pm"I looked while I was at the Institute and finally gave up," she says with a sigh. "Just resigned myself to being a reserve team member."
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 5:14 pm"Hmm..." she says, tapping her lips as she thinks. "Well I can't think of a way to turn you into a combat powerhouse. But if you wanna make talking to computers look awesome and flashy for a while I think I got an idea..." she grins.
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 5:18 pmNatalie looks dubious, though there's some interest hiding in her eyes, "You're teasing me again."
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 5:26 pm"I swear I'm not! I just gotta figure out the best way to do it." she nods.
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 5:44 pm"Well, if you figure it out, let me know." She finishes the last of her coffee.
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 6:08 pm"On a completely and totally unrelated note, what kinda music do you like?"
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 6:21 pm"Mostly techno and dance type stuff."
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 6:36 pm"Perfect! Don't make any plans for Friday night then."
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 6:41 pm"Umm... okay," Natalie says in the tone of someone who wouldn't have had plans on any given Friday night.
Re: Theoretical Whatsits
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 7:27 pm"Cool. I will see you then!" she grins.
