((it may be password protected, the fleeing security guard just didn't log out because he was, well, fleeing?))
The guards must be crazy. Geez, can you imagine what could happen if someone just waltzed in with some malicious intent? At the very least, it should log out after a minute or two of inactivity. If normal computers do that...
[MIND:47] Wolf would have also come to the same conclusion as Will, it was a magical explosion, not a bomb. There was a difference in smell.
Stupid canine doesn't roll half as well but gets exactly as much as the guy with problem-solving powers...
((yes, that dragon thing will totaly reduce the panic..))
You have to admit, it won't make things worse.
"A very small fraction of my time, surprisingly enough."
Ester raises an eyebrow and gives Tobias a poke, "Obviously a lie, seeing as you're a boy and all." She starts giggling again.
If that wasn't an IC view I would be offended!
Twi returns from dinner. He pesters GWG because bleh.
At the time of pestering, I was at work.
Since the shift ended, I was attempting to forum while watching The Incredibles. Incredibly, this was not successful and lead to stalling of forumwork.
Ashley is practicing her violin because OH HEY, NOBODY MENTIONED ANYTHING TO THE TELEPORTER.
Aside from the obvious evidence of the explosion, which could be
felt at the house, we've been mind-chattering about it on open channels for a good while.
Geez, do we need to hold Ashley's hand too?
((For all she knows, it could be Kyle testing a weapon. Nobody actually told her what was going on.
1. "Kyle's caused an explosion again? No need to worry. Or investigate in case I'm wrong. Or even check to make sure that things are actually safe. How much damage could an explosion do to a building?"
2. Again, mind-chatter.
Besides, she was probably 'asleep'.))
...Right before noon.
Dude, we need to fix her "sleep" patterns.
Damn it, Sanure. In real life, it's true that nukes and meteors are the only things likely to make mushroom clouds and blast shadows.
And? Sure. But fire storms, IIRC, make perfectly good mushroom clouds.
And the fact that I don't remember what fire storms are means I've almost certainly remembered that tidbit wrong. Dammit.
I... don't see what any of that means but I guess I'm with Kyle in the whole 'okay that was fun time to leave' thing.
...This makes me upset just slightly.
Indeed.
The entire point of plot is to characterize and develop characters.
Whereas in a normal story the point of the characters is to create and develop the plot.
Hey, at least it makes me less uncomfortable than Brave New World. That got me nopenopenoping within like the first five pages.
Why? Which part was the first five pages?
Manticores aren't animals...
Are they sentient?
Are they inanimate?
...Humans are under the Animalia Kingdom. Humans ARE animals. They are also mammals, and I forget all the other taxonomy crap for humans, but eh.
Eukaryota, Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia, Primate (don't think there's a fancy Latin name for that), Hominidae, Homo, sapiens, sapeins.
*double-checks*
Or Eukaryota, Opisthokonta, Metazoa, Eumetazoa, Bilateria, Deuterostomia, Chordata, Craniata, Vertebrata, Gnathostomata, Teleostomi, Euteleostomi, Sarcopterygii, Dipnotetrapodomorpha, Tetrapoda, Amniota, Mammalia, Theria, Eutheria, Euarchontoglires, Primates, Haplorrhini, Simiiformes, Catarrhini, Hominoidea, Hominidae, Homininae, Homo, sapiens, sapiens, if you want all the suborders and superfamilies and stuff.
Oh, but what makes us believe we are sentient? (He said not expecting an answer.)
We have language, advanced technology, and the capacity to contemplate sentience.
We're pretty damn sentient.
