[ He's sort of holding up a toaster oven but he sets it down pretty quickly. ]

I've got one appliance that takes a little too much glee in burning shit, and what looks like a maudlin blender. Who wants in on this?

[ He's also set up some programs to just sort of trawl the network constantly for various things. One is the word 'pie'. Another is encrypted messages not encrypted enough to be completely hidden from him. Casual re-pimp of permissions. So, yes. Both of these wouldn't be immediately noticed without someone else doing some sort of tracking of their own.

That doesn't sound like much fun at all.

[fe_male]

You know, oddly that part was kind of okay - the recovery though, that was a bitch.

[boughtabookstore]

Hence the shiny thing in your chest, I assume?

[fe_male]

Hey look, three under par, hole in one, good job. Also, this glows. Way better than shiny.

[boughtabookstore]

They sound like fairly similar things to me, but sure. Glowing thing.

Recuperation is always the worst part of an injury.

[fe_male]

You'd think that would make them more deterred.

[boughtabookstore]

Most people aren't injured by choice.

[fe_male]

Well no, but most injuries are caused by choice. Namely stupid ones.

ftr we're half of this post now alkdhf

[ She... isn't sure she can entirely argue with that one. ]

Like?

we're the best, clearly

[ diff'rent strokes ]

I can't come up with something stupid enough to serve as an example here.

only possible explanation

[boughtabookstore]

It doesn't have to be the best example possible. Any one will work.

[fe_male]

I don't know - falling off ladders trying to reach things, shooting yourself in the eye doing plumbing, 'here, I want to try something', joining gangs - there's literally a thousand different ways to injure or kill yourself that can be avoided with a simple five second delay.

[boughtabookstore]

[ That flicker of her eyes is what would have been a double take in someone less reserved. ] Shooting yourself in the eye doing plumbing, really.

I heard of someone stabbing themselves in an artery with a fork once.

[fe_male]

High water pressure, small metal objects - I'm not speaking from experience, I just have a great gift for imagining.

See, that's what I'm talking about. That takes some skill, actually, that seems kind of difficult to do.

[boughtabookstore]

Clearly. It wouldn't have occurred to me at all.

Well, he did have a great deal of upper body strength.

[fe_male]

Located purely without his skull, it sounds.

[boughtabookstore]

He certainly didn't have any reputation for his intelligence.

[fe_male]

Clearly. And hilariously.

[boughtabookstore]

He was lucky to survive. Still, it was funny afterwards.

Nobody could come up with a good enough nickname to exploit that story with, unfortunately.

[fe_male]

Yeah, well, you know how it is, you fork yourself up too bad, people start feeling like they have to walk on eggshells.

[boughtabookstore]

He used to lie to girls about how he got the scar. Apparently it was fairly effective.

So yes, I suppose quite a few injuries do come from stupidity.

[fe_male]

You should hear the story about how I got mine someday. It's a doozie.

Thank you, thank you. Next time it'll just be faster if you agree with me from the get go.

[boughtabookstore]

That's good. I can always use more interesting things here.

Faster would be boring.

[fe_male]

Faster generally is boring, but. Sometimes it gets the boring out of the way.

[boughtabookstore]

What's not boring enough for conversation, then?
