Hey, so with people here being from all over I was wondering if anyone's ever seen these:



And if you have, what do you know about them?

[[OOC: The art is from the falling skies website]]

Where is everyone from? Is there a database? I will start one if there isn't one already.

You mortals are so strange to me.
Why is it you become guilty when you do things beyond your control?
It isn't as if you asked to become mutated, gain powers, lose powers and so on.
So why do you get so upset at the end of these little incursions, when you could not control what happened to you during those incursions?
It baffles me.
If you still feel guilty, then allow me to absolve you.
You are not guilty for things you do when you are not in your right mind.
Frankly, I thought that was obvious. If it wasn't, then it is now.
Crying about it is a waste of your time, even in a prison where you are given an unknown amount of time that seems to stretch on toward "infinity".
Happy?

[ooc: trying something a little different because scratch's highlighting quirk is annoying. replies come in white text, but if you don't want that just let me know somehow (putting a note in the subject header for example). if you pick the latter, just assume the reply is in white ICly.]

 Well.  Firepower.
[click].

One day, one day I will get through one of these ridiculous scenarios without being stabbed, shot at, or otherwise assaulted.

With that in mind, if anyone has any idea of how I might get rid of this bloody idiot who just discovered he can shoot fire from his fingertips and seems to have developed a megalomaniac personality complete with stereotypical laugh and monologuing, please advise.

 Something is wrong.

[Scratch rarely goes on the network without texting, but in this case he's not feeling well enough to do much typing. So instead everyone gets to hear a very ill sounding First Guardian and all his other worldly slight echo-ing voice glory.]

McCall, don't mind half of the apartment being partially destroyed. I'll fix it when I'm not teetering on the edge of destru...destru--aa...






[And yes that was an incredibly loud sneeze, mixed in with what sounded like a crackle of electricity, a quick vibration and the faint sound of lightning in the background. About a few seconds afterward Scratch will talk again.]

...Excuse me. [Always got to be POLITE about destroying shit.] There goes the sofa. I'll fix that as well. I never gotten sick before, so pardon me if I cause anymore damage. I can be fairly dangerous by way of existence when I'm not in stable condition and my energy begins to spike wildly. You'll have to live with the risk of possibly exploding. Again, I can fix it later when I'm no...not si...sic--



[And then he sneezes again and once more the sound of something BURSTING INTO FLAMES can be heard in the background.]

...Excuse me. I hope you didn't want to use the table for anything.

[He knows you're in your room McCall, he just doesn't want to go in there because he might sneeze and accidentally kill you SORRY THAT YOU LIVE WITH A SICK DEMI-GOD.]

So, let me get this straight. I wake up in a hospital. No biggie. Get checked over by doctors to make sure I'm alright. I'm cool with that. But then I'm told I'm fictional because I come from some "made-up world"?

Is this because of my vlog? Because really, my vlog is the least of people's worries. I'd be considered fictional if I lived in the Twilight series or in Middle Earth or any other book on my shelf. It's not like I'm out of some Jane Austen novel or something!

I think we're getting a little too carried away here. Joke's over, this is a funny trick, but I want to go home. I've got things to do, independent studies to work on, videos to make!

Ugh, at least tell me this place has wifi.

I’ll say one thing for this place: it seems like being different won’t be considered a mortal sin. At least, not as much as I’m used to. That’s a nice change of pace. Definitely not something I was expecting, all things considered. I guess pleasant surprises do still exist. I was pretty sure they were limited to the other kind at this point.

That “orientation” at the hospital, though? I’m not sure I buy that. I’m a lot of things, but gullible isn’t one of them. I’m sure I’m not the first one to say that, I imagine most people that come here are disbelieving at first. I’m actually curious, is there anyone out there who believes the whole story? I’m interested to know if anyone’s been swayed. Is there anything that could sell that? It seems pretty impossible.

Although, I’m probably one of the last people who should be labeling anything as “impossible.” I can think of at least one person who would be pretty disappointed in me for not having an open mind, but then again, being disappointed wouldn’t exactly be new territory for him.
