[recollecters]

It's been brought to my attention (again) that some of you are looking for compensation for the work you're doing. I'm open to that. So tell me, Retrospecters, what is it that you're looking for? Money? Answers? None of the above? I'm all ears. The scouting project seems to be working out okay. I don't know if any of you have found a place that's really good to relocate or recover but maybe we should talk about that, too. …finally, bit of a morality question for you. What's the priority here, you think? Working on chasing Vanderweele down this rabbit hole of a wild goose chase (wow that is too many animal analogies), or memory recovery of the company itself? Both of them are about as convoluted as you think, but not impossible. Wait, not finally. One more thing since someone brought it up: in case you haven't noticed yet, you might want to pay attention to the things you've managed to bring back because, and I hate to make it sounds real drastic, but the fate of the world kinda depends on it? Just a little. Welcome to your destiny, everybody. Anyway discuss. I'm back in the office, so drop by if you need something.

un: violent gestalt

[babysplice]

but what if we fail to do the job
in that case
i want the money now

Re: un: violent gestalt

[flametheif40]

That IS a good point...

Although him cowering in an office somewhere, he might be broke.

but if he isn't...I guess we could try something like some now, more later? After we figure "expenses" and whatever other legal or illegal shit we can slap on it?

[babysplice]

yolo

whatre u going to buy with your share

[flametheif40]

I always wanted a mini fridge in my room...and a safe to keep my nosey sister out of my stuff.

Hell, a secret room with mission impossible shit, I would like to see her get through THAT!

and u?

[babysplice]

fun

expensive materials probably
jewels n stuff
i want to make a sculpture that fits together all different colors of precious gems
in a spectrum

[flametheif40]

Pricy!

You make sculptures? You wouldn't happen to work with glass, would you?

[babysplice]

yeah
i usually get my bf to buy me things
but thatd be a bit out of his price range

i do
and i do
i work with a little bit of everything

[flametheif40]

I imagine that would be out of most ppl's price range.

Ah, I've actually given a bit of thought to sculpting with glass actually, since there is lots of fire and heat involved.

And they can't hurt me anymore.

[babysplice]

u should
its fun
i wish fire didnt hurt me
id touch way more stuff

[flametheif40]

Don't know anything about it though, any pointers?

What sort of things would you touch? I just set myself on fire, my clothes don't even burn!

Anymore...the first couple of times that...was almost a problem.

[babysplice]

theres a studio at the university with some equipment
i could show you how it works

id touch stoves, molten glass, molten metal
well
molten anything really
flat irons
etc.

why dont your clothes burn

[flametheif40]

thanks!

The molten glass is why I want to take up glass sculture, try to mold molten glass by hand :)

I've actually refined ore into metal...sort of...I apprantly melted the ore into some metal oxide or something, way prettier then a lump of rock though, so made money that way once.

Magic(I'm serious, I'm not being an ass), Same time I got the immunity to fire and heat I noticed I was able to set myself on fire and my clothes didn't get all crispy, unlike the 1st time when I almost burned myself to hell. (metal bugs were attacking my house okay?)

[babysplice]

magic is cool & normal
i just didnt know it would work on your clothes
did it not work on them and then it started working on them

[flametheif40]

Neither did I, but I was desperate to NOT get bitten by a werewolf and set myself on fire.

[babysplice]

oh
id let a werewolf bite me tho

[flametheif40]

Seriously?!

[babysplice]

y
i mean whats the downside

[flametheif40]

Being forced to kill people for starters.

I'd rather not wake up and with a murder hangover, not remembering who or why I killed someone.

If I'm killing someone, I better have a good reason for it.

[babysplice]

so youre assuming u would survive the bite + become a werewolf
but anyone u bit as a werewolf would just die
?

[flametheif40]

[Al goes back and reads for a moment...]

Oh...I thought you meant what was the downside of being a werewolf.

Not just getting bitten, cause I don't plan on getting wasted.

Especially since other people already took a shot.

[babysplice]

oh i meant either way.

it just seems kinda rad
getting bit by a werewolf.
not too many people have experienced that
& i guess even fewer know what its like to turn into one

why dont you plan to get killed

[flametheif40]

Not many people have been smacked by a giant elephant either, but I wouldn't reccomend it.

Maybe next October we will transform into something, being turned into a werewolf, aside from the murder hangovers(if those are legit), could be fun. Being bitten by one...I assume just more painful than a dog bite?

Other then I wanna get around to living my best life? Some people took the time to invest in me, don't wanna let em down.
