Is it very wrong...

...that I find it just hilariously funny that one of our newest students appears to have convinced himself that I'm a paranoid schizophrenic?

And possibly a ninja?

It's not like I told Forge anything that isn't common knowledge around here when we made our introductions this afternoon. Then again, what's common knowledge about me does tend to lead to the conclusion that I'm a lunatic, doesn't it? That really should be less funny and more distressing.

... no. Still funny.

A ninja? Where on earth did he get that from?

Also, did he say any of this out loud, or was he just projecting?

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Projecting. Although admittedly, my shields are still a little shaky...

[x-bamf.livejournal.com]

And why does he think you are a ninja?

[x-madelyn.livejournal.com]

All right, the Askani stuff alone would give someone that impression, but the ninja part is just too funny. Should I ask Moira to check for stashes of black pyjamas?

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

I'm too damned big to be a ninja, that's the funny thing.

And don't be giving her any ideas. She tends to get this glazed look whenever I wear too much black. It's adorable, but a bit alarming.

[x-madelyn.livejournal.com]

Definitely too big. You'd be laughed out of ninja school. ;)

See, now I have this evil urge to do just that. Since the glazed look is so damn funny, and there's no way either of you can retaliate... *smug*

Upon reflection... no! Don't do it, Maddie! However will I cope? I mean, she might decide there was a need to lock us in a room together and express to me just how much she likes me in black. That would be just... awful.

[x-madelyn.livejournal.com]

Like you two need any encouragement any way. *snorts*

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

You know, maybe that's the answer? If I start wearing black leather on a daily basis, she'll decide to come up out of her lab more than occasionally. If only to see why I'm prancing around in large amounts of black leather.

[x-madelyn.livejournal.com]

Except that could backfire with the huge numbers of traumatised students the sight of you prancing, no less, in black leather would cause.

I should tell you the story about the job that involved me having to go undercover in the fetish club in Rome.

On second hand, maybe not.

[x-madelyn.livejournal.com]

*blinks*

I am horrified, yet strangely fascinated. A fetish club?

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Fetish club. Interesting way to spend an evening.

Ha!

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

So, were you undercover or having an evening out then?

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

A little from column A, a little from column B?

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

You're being coy. Very coy.

*grin*

That says a whole lot, y'know?

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Well, one turned into the other. Much to my surprise.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

You dweeb.

You walked into a fetish club, wearing lots of black leather.

What did you expect?

*snickers!*

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

The nice people in the club to leave me alone to conduct my business?

I was telepathically drunk on the ambiance in about fifteen minutes flat, though. Quite awkward.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

I'm laughing at you now. The nice people in the club? Nathan!

I expect you would have been. People at places like that tend to be pretty much on edge and in the now of things. Which, you know, isn't a huge surprise. Considering. ;)

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

And so friendly, some of them.

I wish I'd had a camera, to take a picture of the look on GW's face when I missed my check-in and he came to the rescue thinking I'd run into trouble. Wait, photographic memory... yeah. Still funny four years later.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Friendly is one way to put it.

I think I need to email GW now. Yep. La la la!

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he'll be delighted to hear from you. And tell tales. He has a very bad habit when it comes to that.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Mick emailed me last week. He thinks the Pack are all crazy. I pointed out to him that they used to hang out with you. ;)

And I will have to email him now. I bet he has the best stories to tell!
