Okay, so that's the switch, which means the panel should go there...

Normally, that'd be my area of expertise, but I usually do the offloading. Kinda wish the Doc was here. She would know what to do.

[tobethemiracle.livejournal.com]

It's all right. I got this.

[swissarmycock.livejournal.com]

You better have or I'll kick your ass.

[tobethemiracle.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, I know.

[he looks around the room, this time looking through it.]

This is good. This is real good.

[swissarmycock.livejournal.com]

Really?

[tobethemiracle.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Have a bit of faith in yourself.

[swissarmycock.livejournal.com]

I have faith in my machines.

[tobethemiracle.livejournal.com]

And they have faith in you. It's endearing.

[swissarmycock.livejournal.com]

It sounds so weird when you say it like that. And I thought I was the only one who could hear them.

[tobethemiracle.livejournal.com]

Makes you feel any better, when I was a kid I swore up and down that the sea would talk to me.

Turns out I was right.

[swissarmycock.livejournal.com]

What did they say? Or is it a she?

[tobethemiracle.livejournal.com]

The sea? I think of it as neuter or female, but other people who take it in call it whatever they want. I don't think it cares.

And ... it listened, mostly. I was a pretty angry kid.

[swissarmycock.livejournal.com]

You, angry? I can't see it.

[tobethemiracle.livejournal.com]

It's a long story.

[swissarmycock.livejournal.com]

A long story you would talk about or a long story which is code for I don't want to talk about it.

[tobethemiracle.livejournal.com]

A long story that ends with a decent ending and you giving me a few weird looks. So bit of A and bit of B.

[swissarmycock.livejournal.com]

Then we can save it after the World Devouring business is done. We can exchange.

[tobethemiracle.livejournal.com]

You're on.

[swissarmycock.livejournal.com]

Fine by me.

[tobethemiracle.livejournal.com]

Though if I get two awkward stories you have to share two.

[swissarmycock.livejournal.com]

That works. You have a deal.

[tobethemiracle.livejournal.com]

So how long do you think this'll take before I can try interfacing with it?

[swissarmycock.livejournal.com]

A couple of hours.

[tobethemiracle.livejournal.com]

That soon?

[swissarmycock.livejournal.com]

It shouldn't take too long. Why?
