I guess that answers any questions about whether or not I wanted to be an extra in Master and Commander. [Although, really.] That said, it definitely could have been worse. I mean, can you imagine if we ever got stuck somewhere like that, permanently? I'd take running water and modern medicine over pirates any day, I don't care how cool Jack Sparrow makes it look.

[Private to Alex]

Bummer about not finding any treasure.

[Private to Racetrack]

Hey. [... now what to say :|] I know this is weird, but. You do get kind of used to breaches.

[And Public, after he's realized SOMEONE hasn't seen Star Wars]

Alright, so, who here hasn't seen Star Wars? Kinda sounds like we need to have some kind of group movie night when people are taking a break from being all obsessive about port.

[Private to Bond]

I'm making Alex watch Star Wars. You should come. I promise I won't make you watch any of the prequels.

No. Unless it's a ten year old assassin in training or something.

[Spam]

[lastrat]

And how can you be sure?

[Spam]

[myresponsibility]

You can usually tell.

[Spam]

[lastrat]

Not the sure I meant. You're acting on reflex, and your reflexes will protect you from a non-threat as well as they will a threat.

[Spam]

[myresponsibility]

And that's a bad thing?

[Spam]

[lastrat]

[He has no patience as a teacher :|]

You really don't see the difference here?

[Spam]

[myresponsibility]

Look, I don't know how to explain it, I can just- tell when something's going to hurt me or just, you know, fall off a shelf or whatever. I mean, I didn't flip you on the ground when you tried to grab me back when we first got assigned, right? And that was when I was pretty beat up.

[Spam]

[lastrat]

And what if they go away?

[Spam]

[myresponsibility]

I don't know. I can't just... turn them off, usually.

[Spam]

[lastrat]

What if they do?

[Spam]

[myresponsibility]

Then I'm probably going to get shot. [Again. >>]

[Spam]

[lastrat]

There would be less likelihood of that if you learned how to fight like a normal man.

[Spam]

[myresponsibility]

I said I'd give it a shot, right?

[Spam]

[lastrat]

Try not to break the punching bags.

[Spam]

[myresponsibility]

I'll be careful. Believe me, after I almost broke everything in my room the day after it happened, I kinda had to figure out how to be smart about that.

[Spam]

[lastrat]

[Well now he's vaguely amused.] What happened?

[Spam]

[myresponsibility]

[Well okay, time to start ticking them off.]

I squirted out like an entire tube of toothpaste on my bathroom mirror, ripped off one of the handles on my sink which started spraying water everywhere, ripped the towel rack off the wall trying to fix that, and got most of the keys ripped off my keyboard when I tried looking up spider bite side effects online.

[Spam]

[lastrat]

[Okay that has earned a patented Bond chuckle (TM). He even shakes his head. Wow, Peter. Wow.]

Somehow I doubt you found your particular side effects.
