To the guy who landed on my shoes this afternoon, delivered via cocoon:

I'd like to apologize for the whole bubble fiasco earlier.  Given the fact that the lot of us are still test driving these mindlinked tell-alls, I hope you understand that all commentary -- inappropriate and not -- that came along with your greeting was [a long pause] very

Bah! It can hardly rest on my shoulders that some among us do not have the necessary adventurous spirit to truly embrace our floaty, little friends!

But I find them quite charming. Perhaps my previous flirtations with complete honesty have better prepared me, but I am finding this all rather... illuminating. And genuinely amusing.

[child_proteus]

Survey says you should invite your lady-friend over and see how illuminating that conversation turns out to be.

One man's misery is another man's triumph, right, Argent? Granted, I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't admit that I'm so totally down with our floaty, little friends.

[twoninths]

Not on, old sock.

Only if they allow it to be, my dear Throne. If we open our minds to the experience, I do believe this could be eveyrone's triumph. Also this flouncing about over a few little thoughts. My word!

[child_proteus]

Oh come on now, G. Maybe you'll gain an appreciation for some people's suffering. Or. You never know. You may get illuminated.

...I will only respond to your comment, thusly.

You used the word flouncing.

that is all.

[unlostsoul]

Awkward, you say, but think how much more awkward it would be if we all were walking around. Thinking at each other!

[child_proteus]

Maybe Argent's got a point, Dub. REALITY IS THE TRUTH OF MY THOUGHT BUBBLE. EMBRACE IT.

[unlostsoul]

LOOK I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH YOUR THOUGHT BUBBLE. OBVIOUSLY.

It's my thought bubble, and the fact that other people could, potentially, see my thought bubble that has me worried.

[child_proteus]

I THINK YOUR THOUGHT BUBBLE IS AWESOME. YOU SHOULDN'T BE ASHAMED OF WHAT IT SAYS. IT SAYS...REALLY NICE THINGS.

There's no problem for Gin because he's just thinking about sweets. :|

[shiro_yasha]

What's all this about anyway? You upset some guy with bubbles eh? Seems like he's probably a flake anyway then.

[child_proteus]

Well, the dude was naked and having just come out of a cocoon it was hard to not have at least some inappropriate commentary about his, well, naked-being.

[shiro_yasha]

.... just what kinds of things are you interested in?

[child_proteus]

DUDE. I COULDN'T HELP IT. HE WAS NAKED. MY BRAIN THOUGHT NAKED THOUGHTS.

Kanin is trying to be positive for you. He would've been mortified.

[kanin_gitarist]

Maybe's he was flattereds...? Hopefullies.

[child_proteus]

He kind of tried to hit me in the face?

[kanin_gitarist]

Okays, maybe nots. Alexi got hits in the you-know-whats, so it could be worse.

[child_proteus]

wait

what?

[crownofsnow]

I'm not too fond of them right now. Today at work was...very enlightening. But it's good to see you're doing well!

[child_proteus]

Enlightening, huh?

Is that a euphemism for one step away from disaster? Granted, given what you do for a living, I'd imagine bedside manner is important.

[crownofsnow]

You could say that. It's a bit hard to be polite after a few of those word bubbles. Bedside manner is vital, even when the patients are being...
