LOADING...OVERFLOW

Hello and happy new year! A lot of poll results came in from R&D and we've almost fixed taste all the way. Horses are almost fixed, too. We've been working pretty much non-stop around the holidays to stabilize everything, so I hope this works!

Just so you guys know, while we were working on fixing the original problems we received some alerts of residual effects outside of our usual domain. Don't worry though! Remember what I said a while ago? We're still moving more resources around into better defenses to protect the city from huge storms like last summer. We'll be taking care of that really soon and isolating the unknown problem.

I wish I could tell you more, but we're all working overtime here to finish the final stages of a big project. No matter what happens you guys should be safe while we finish up, so just stay calm, okay? Don't get too reckless!

It's very interesting! That's how I got my hair, I think. I think it'd be much cooler to get like wings or missile launchers on my chest.

They told you?

Your hair?


Wings to fly with sound awesome, but they might be tricky to use when you want to wear normal clothes or sit in a chair. Like, they'd be in the way so you'd need holes and a specially styled or low backrest. But if you can retract them when they're not needed it'd be a really awesome power!

I'm not that sure missile launchers on your chest are a good idea, though - they're bound to give you some massive heartburn whenever they go off, right? And you'd have to be terribly cautious whenever you're playing with pets or kids so that they won't accidentally touch something that could trigger a blasting release. You'd also need to go either topless or wear some specially customized clothes if you want to go out and fight with them.


[Why is he even taking this serious? He is aware of how absurd missile launcher boobs sound like, but part of him is like "nope, that's actually worth considering the logistics of in a non-judging way."

....It's probably because his own power has turned out to become literally hard.]

[ HE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. This is why they get along. ]

Yes! My hair was brown before, but one day I woke up and it was orange. My roommate's hair changed the same day, too. Now her hair is pink.

I think making clothes to accommodate wings might be fun! But you're right about chairs. You could really only ride bikes but not sit in cars or anything, could you? But if you had wings you could fly around instead!

Oh I definitely wouldn't want my missile launchers to go off accidentally! They should definitely have some sort of safety mechanism or at least a double approval key before the launch sequence begins. I think wearing button up tops would work because you can just unbutton them if you need to fire your missles.
explodosafe: (I see!)

That's just like me! My hair was black, but not it's red! Like, really, really red! But it changed colors within a couple of days rather than all in one night, I looked like a tiger-tomato at one point!

(Is your roommate bad at cooking? If she is we might know the same person!)

Flying feels probably better anyway. Unless it's raining or snowing. Then you'd need something like a bird raincoat to keep dry.

Ohhh, that's true! You're thinking way more practical about this than me, maybe you should go into equipment and costume design! What about a special keyword or phrase to make the launchers go off?!

Your hair was black?? I would have liked to see the tiger-tomato look!

Well...I do most of the cooking, actually, but she helps me when she can! I wouldn't say she's bad...


[ Maybe a little accident prone. ]

But birds fly in the air already. Wouldn't we be able to too?

Yes!! A special key phrase would be perfect! And that would be a lot of fun. I don't know if I'm qualified, but getting to build the real thing would be great!
explodosafe: there'll be danger, stupid ideas and fighting (hey whatcha say?)

[personal profile] explodosafe 2018-01-24 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, yeah it was! I'm Japanese, at least in the ethnicity way, so I got the whole dark hair dark eyes look down before. Nowadays I'm just as red as can be.

I dunno, I don't think they fly in the rain or bad weather in general when they can help it. They just sit somewhere and fluff themselves up against the cold as good as they can.

I'm sure you are! You already got all the awesome ideas, all that's still left is the technical know-how how to make it real!

OMG me too!! I mean my dad is Japanese so that counts too. We're almost twins!!

[ Aren't they? ]

Maybe we should model things more after birds then. I think sometimes I would like to sit somewhere and fluff up.

Thank you so much! I really hope you're right and that it's something everyone can enjoy someday.
explodosafe: (right back at you!)

[personal profile] explodosafe 2018-01-27 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Wha- So YOU are the reason I was given up for adoption! You're the good twin and it's my duty as the bad one to unreasonably blame you and unsuccessfully try for your destruction for the rest of our lives now!!

You know what, I'd do it too. Being able to just fluff yourself up until the rest of the world goes away or comes and gives you a hug could be real nice! It'd be like an unspoken "Come hug me"-sign, a really cute one!

Oh noooo! It's a dramatic backstory, but now that we've met we can work together and make the world a better place, using our special twin powers!

It is really cute!! See, we even think alike. We must be twins!
explodosafe: (bring it!)

[personal profile] explodosafe 2018-01-31 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa! Who will we fight if we get along, though?! There needs to be something evil like, like... aliens or something!

Best twins ever!!
