Perhaps it's just me, but there seems to be even more hostility here than usual.  Not the physical sort, necessarily--although there's more than enough of that as it is.  Honestly, it's more than enough to discourage me from looking at the network most days.

As much as I want to believe that this growing hostility is mystical in origin, this may

Words don't mean much. People are people.

As long as they're not hurting each other.

Don't underestimate the power a word or two can have, Van Helsing. I realize they don't have much of an effect on you, but some people can become rather upset over them.

Did someone upset you?

[somekindofsin]

No, of course not! I would have to talk to someone for that to happen.

I suppose it's the City--the curses, people leaving at random, the general unpredictability of events.

Sorry to hear it.

I'll come downstairs. If I don't, every so often, you'll forget how to talk.

[somekindofsin]

As if I would forget how to talk. What a ludicrous idea.

You can never be too sure.

[steps into the lab, raising an eyebrow at the mess--it's kind of expected by now, but still] Good to see you hard at work.
