Sept. 8th: One Does Not Simply Walk Onto Campus

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizeable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days.

Sept. 8th: One Does Not Simply Walk Onto Campus

((open thread))

A car pulled through the gates and parks, a blonde girl getting out of the backseat while still fiddling with her phone.

A few months ago, the doctors at Muir had suggested that they might be able to treat Riot's neurological degeneration with some new therapies they had developed. Riot was shipped to Muir where she underwent several operations and serious rehabilitation. It wasn't a miracle cure, she still suffered from seizures and her stutter stubornly remained, but she had gone from barely being able to take a few steps to walking comfortably without a cane or walker for several hours at a time.

There were a few side effects. The treatment had a major effect on her abilities and she could no longer create complex or animate proxies. She had been reduced to being able to create small, simple objects for the time being.

"This game s-s-sucks," Riot says, tapping away at her phone as the driver unloads her bag. "Fsk'ng n00b c-cockswallowers. F'cking die already you -- "

And what followed is some colorful language we will not be reproducing here. Needless to say, the operations didn't seem to have a major effect on her lovely personality.

"It could be a possibility that you are simply not as good as your opponent." Ashlie points out as she walks up.

"Ash!" Riot says excitedly. She practically pounces on her robotic friend, wrapping her in a great big hug.

"M-m-man, I fuckin' missed you," Riot says. "FML, the computer on Muir aren't half as sexy as your robot ass. LOL, jk."

"Yeah and th-th-that's cool of them. Whatever," Riot says. "But FML it was boring. Sick girl in a wheelchair on an island? It's like a m-m-major H staple, right? But all the doctors and nurses were a bunch of f'cking old fucks and I'm like 'what kind of H-game is this anyway"? Am I right?"

"Aww, fuck," Riot says, noticing Ashlie's expression. She musses up her hair in frustration. "Shitlickers. That's not what I m-m-meant, Ash. I love the chair you made for me. It was amazeballs and I'm keeping it in my room."

"It's just being in a wheelchair in general is bullshit. It's, like, a constant reminder that part of you doesn't work right."

Ashlie seems to ponder that for a moment.

"I think I can understand that. I had never considered inadequacy compared to similar models. It is one of the advantages and shortcomings of unique design."

Riot snickers anyway. She's very easy to please, "But how can it be so wrong, when it feels so right?"

"Being bad makes things better," Riot clarifies. "Th-there's evidence for this all over the 'net. How m-m-many fetishes exist just because they're 'taboo'? Time's up. The correct answer was: fuckin' all of 'em."
