[ After
falling out of a window, half naked, Algy has developed quite a nasty cold, so he is thus joining the swathes of people who're currently sick. ]
[ ........ he's leaning in very close to the computer, trying to figure out whether it's working or not. ] Good lord, how the devil do people get used to these impossible things? [ Sniffs a bit, poking around a little bit more before SNEEZING VIOLENTLY but thankfully that's not making him involuntarily explode things around him. Finally satisfied that the entry is recording, he breaks into a slightly bleary-eyed grin. ]
Hallo there! Gosh, it's taken me a good while to finally introduce myself here, but I'm Algernon Lacey - Algy, if you like - I popped up here with my friend Biggles, who I'm sure you've seen around here already. From, er, 1918, but that's a story for another day! Lovely to meet you all, though!
[ pauses to sneeze again >>; ] -- Oh goodness, sorry about that, I seem to have caught a bit of a chill. Anyway, it turns out that I've got one of these mutant powers of yours, and I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how it all... works. I seem to be able to explode things, though not quite as "at will" as I'd like. Still very sorry about the school piano, though, I really didn't mean to do it. In any case, it's be a jolly fantastic thing if anyone could lend a hand here. Thanks all for listening!
[ AND IT SUCCESSFULLY CLICKS OFF. ]
