The periodic explosions from next door aren't the most reassuring thing I can think of, but I suspect I'm getting used to them. They barely make me jump now

You don't say...

[seedprodigy]

I don't say what?

[gravity_splode]

Nothing. I just thought it was interesting, that's all.

[seedprodigy]

I see, all right then.

[gravity_splode]

I mean, it's surprising what you can get used to, but I haven't exactly seen a lot of explosions around here.

Or heard, for that matter.

[seedprodigy]

I live in a military academy filled with teenagers who have at least partial access to dynamite and other explosives. Some days I'm amazed the place is still in one piece.

Since there isn't any dynamite here, as far as I can tell, I think this might actually be safer.

[gravity_splode]

Thaaaaaaaat depends on your definition of safe.

[seedprodigy]

I guess everything does in a way, but what do you mean?

[gravity_splode]

I'm just sayin'. The place isn't really safe. No government and all that, after all.

[seedprodigy]

Having a government doesn't mean a place is safe, though.

[gravity_splode]

Yeah, I kinda noticed.

Been there more than once actually. You would believe some of the shit I've been through. Seriously, you'd think a dude could catch a break sometimes, y'know what I mean?

[seedprodigy]

Well some people aren't meant to. [You're losing her interest, Xiggy, sounds like she's thinking of going and getting a drink or something.]

[gravity_splode]

No really, I didn't notice.

Good luck with the explosions thing, by the by.

[seedprodigy]

Thank you.

[gravity_splode]

No problem.
