Did someone say "Road Trip"?!

Got your attention? Good! While you're here, tell me what your thoughts are on "soul energy" and what it means to you. For science or something. I know, I've been out of the loop lately. Not my fault! I feel like I used to be more skeptical but that's kind of weird in and of itself, but sorry if it's an old and bored topic. My opinion is that whatever we call it, however we explain it, it's doing something, right? It's affecting you and me and the people around us. It's a lot like me and yoga. I don't believe in chakra and centering yourself and all that (sorry, coach!) but I think you'll agree: the results speak for themselves. ;) Speaking of activities, it's a week 'til my birthday. The big 2-1. Since I'm kind of partied out with all the festivities happening, I'm thinking of going out on an adventure instead. Camping! Hiking! Climbing! Cliff-diving! What's not to love? If you think a couple of nights out in Magatus territory plus the round-trip road trip are for you, HMU and I'll make the arrangements. (Unless you have a camper, in which case you're already my new favorite person, so HMU *fast*!)

i don't know what soul energy is but if it's anything like BDE then i'm sure it doesn't matter as much as people say it does?

sorry i'm trying to make jokes but that picture isn't fair

[burndownforwhat]

What, is there something wrong with the pic?

Also: what's "BDE"?

[ the first point could be teasing, but the second one definitely isn't. ]

[breakingvoice]

you know damn well what's wrong with it
or i mean i was pretty sure you did until you made me say it outright

anyway it stands for big dick energy, jen. it's a meme?

[burndownforwhat]

Look, I'm just happy you can barely see my tanlines anymore.

[ maybe if Lina zooms in and squints. which she wouldn't be doing, right? ]

Oh! Okay I get it now. Never seen anyone abbreviate it before.

[breakingvoice]

god damn it jen.

and yeah like i don't exactly want to go around talking about how someone's got big dick energy without abbreviating it
it's a dumb meme anyway i don't want to have to explain it MORE

[burndownforwhat]

Yeah okay, you won't catch me using it anyway.

Back on topic though: you haven't heard anyone talk about soul energy? Or do you mean you don't understand it? I thought it was a common way to explain what's happening around the city and to all of us.

[breakingvoice]

yeah i guess we wouldn't want to get off topic huh
of course i understand it, i just don't give a shit about it
it's not doing anything for me except giving me nightmares

[argone]

...nice.
I can probably manage a couple of nights out if it's your birthday.

[burndownforwhat]

[ ah, the struggle of trying to play things cool and keep it on the down-low. she should have texted Kara first. stupid! ]

That wouldn't shut down your operation for that long would it? I don't want your customers mad at you. Or me.

[argone]

[Only if something was wrong. She is pretty okay with the post...]

No, it's cool. It's not like I don't have lackeys. And I set my own hours, anyway.

Unless there's another reason?

[burndownforwhat]

Oh yeah. The perks of being the big boss.

Nope! Just trying to make sure no one has any reasons to bail out last second. I'll need to rent out gear, and make sure there's enough food and sleeping space for us all.

[argone]

Oh don't sweat gear. I've got that. What I don't have, I'll get myself. I'm sure I'll use it again anyway.

You drink? I don't think I asked.

[burndownforwhat]

I might have a drink or two the night of, but usually I stay away from it.
That also depends on how many people stay sober. Got to keep an eye out for safety!

[heiroglyphs]

It is nonsense. Power of the soul.
It is like saying hugs can save the world.

[burndownforwhat]

Maybe that's reaching too far.
A hug can save a person.

[heiroglyphs]

I did not strike you as the sentimental type.
This lovey shit is ridiculous to me.

[burndownforwhat]

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?

[heiroglyphs]

[She was born on the wrong side of the bed.]

My bed is just fine, I get plenty of sleep.
What does that have to do with anything?

[burndownforwhat]

It's an expression.
You know.
Like "lovey shit".

In other words: what's gotten into you today?

[nachetanya]

Oh that is a gorgeous prosthetic

[ It's so compact, especially to have freely mobile (and independently mobile) fingers by the look of it. It's either some impossibly expensive cutting edge thing or... they got it from retrospec. She can't help but be a little jealous, so much so that she responds with awe, ignoring the rest of the post for a moment. ]

[burndownforwhat]

[ the real thing is not as shiny but still maintains the sleekness to warrant those assumptions. it's very doll-like in its function... if one built dolls out of military-grade weapons tech. ]

Thanks!

I can't take credit for picking out the colors.

[nachetanya]

[ I mean as long as it it has individual fingers while looking that sleek it's still something which is a godsend as compared to her more conventional myoelectic model which might actually be a bit out of date. Such is the nature of what she could afford. ]

Oh, you weren't allowed to pick?

[burndownforwhat]

Maybe I did, in the other life.
When I got it last year, it wasn't painted like this. It was kind of a dull silver and black.
I went missing from the app, and this time it arrived in these colors.

[nachetanya]

Oh, it's from Retrospec?

I heard that a friend of mine knew someone who got one from them, and it was really advanced.

It really is gorgeous, but I guess it's weird to gush about, sorry.

[burndownforwhat]

That sounds like me!
I mean it could be someone else, but then I don't know them.

Did you hear it from Ava, by chance?
