10 △ VIDEO; looking fine and augmented

[neveraskedforthis]

[ Considering Adam spent the last two weeks as his old self, that is, the person he was before this and that incident, he takes it remarkably well. The memory of actual, feeling hands is still fresh in his mind, although he hadn't even been able to appreciate it much due to it having been nothing special at the time. It's easier to compare now, however—flesh to metal, feeling to unfeeling, weak to powerful. And for once, the lingering emotion of something having been taken from him against his will doesn't flare up again.

It's different. Much like a disabled person revisits the memory and place where everything happened and changed to maybe, finally, find some closure.

Things happen.

You don't always get a say in it. All you can do is deal, adapt and progress, because ultimately, that's what life has always been about. ]

I see everyone's quick to mope or make apologies. Excuse me if I refrain from joining your ranks this time, seeing as I came out of this with a few cute girls, free meals and a videogame—all things I didn't ask for, but I'm still not sharing. The game, maybe, if you ask nicely, but it's somewhat dated. So unless you can appreciate classics, don't even bother.

[ HI everyone did you miss this butt he's sure you did. ]

Oh, and here's your general PSA, directed at no one in particular, especially not the guys around the precinct: get into the habits of locking your tablets if you're just gonna leave 'em lying around. The next time I find one I'm gonna post the entirety of its porn folder to the network tagged with your name. And before you go, oh, that silly Adam Jensen, of course my porn folder is locked and hidden slash I'm an innocent virgin who doesn't even have a porn folder, honest--

Don't make the mistake of thinking that's gonna stop me.


[ Private to Samus ]

You free tonight?

Why didn't you do it to the first one? You just missed your chance!

[neveraskedforthis]

I'm in a good mood today, so I thought I might put mercy before justice just this once.

[aceordisgraced]

Ooooh. That's so nice of you, Adam. You've got the heart the size of a whale.

[whatsupcroc]

Totally ignoring half of this but -- what classic game?

[neveraskedforthis]

[ Because Collette has the biggest porn folder. ]

Asteroids.

[whatsupcroc]

( If thousands of save files of images of snow and skiers and snowboarders and skateboarders doing tricks counts as porn.

Oh, then all those sky diving shots, and the cave shots, and the really impressively scary shots of astronauts at the moon station... )

Yes! Talk about classic!

... So can I seriously get a copy?

[breakin_ur_lore]

You can -

["get porn on this" oops wait hes supposed to pretend he doesnt look at porn cause everyone does it but no one admits it or something right?]

[neveraskedforthis]

[ Porn. It's the one constant in the multiverse that exists anywhere. ]

I can what?

[neveraskedforthis]

I don't need it.

[ PLZ SOLLUX. Adam's long since made a back up. ]

But if that's your general stance when it comes to these matters, I'll make a mental note not to share the rest of my games, either.

[biwinning]

don't 2end that 2hiit around.
ii can't make a profiit off thiing2 you're to22iing around freely.

[fourscience]

Are humans typically secretive about their pornographic material?

[neveraskedforthis]

... Usually, yeah. Let's say nine out of ten people.

[fourscience]

Ah! For shame reasons?

[raisedbybirds]

[Someone is SO RELIEVED things are back to normal. She's trying not to face-palm too much at the network post her teenaged self posted, and likely how now all the resident dragon types that may or may not have it out for her, (but hey what else is new) so she could use a little... down-time. A distraction. A good, long, hard drink.]

Yeah. Better question--are you going to be free or are you going to be busy chasing down Collette?

[Yeah she read that exchange. That did warrant an actual face-palm.]

[ aaaaaaaargh you can tell already that he fails at this... pseudo parenting thing. When Samus calls him back, he's actually just in Collette's room, putting one and one together. Morphing into a fucking eagle to evade him really isn't particularly fair. ]

That.... hrgh. Guess I would be, if I had wings.

[ Gonna make his way to the roof now. ]

I don't remember you being so difficult at that age.

[bratworth]

I see you're back to being a general nuisance.

[neveraskedforthis]

You back to being a stuck-up brat? Oh, wait, that never really changes, does it?

[demonbloodblade]

[She sounds a bit wheezy.]

I missed the fun, it sounds like.

[neveraskedforthis]

Not sure if I'd call it 'fun'. It was a headache-inducing mess.

[tipsygnostalgia]

what game did u find ;o

[neveraskedforthis]

asteroids, if that tells you anything.
