XUB 2 - Sept. 15

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 1:20 pm

Freshly cleaned, and having made sure that no one had followed him down, Cal made his way into the bar, ordering a beer and making sure the bartender knew to keep them coming.

Fuck.

Juma heads in, a philosophy text under one arm. He stifles a yawn and takes a seat near Calvin, tilting his head in a polite greeting while ordering a beer of his own.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 1:31 pm

"Long day?" Rachel said, taking a seat beside Cal.

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 1:42 pm

Will nodded a return greeting to Juma.

"You have no. Fucking. Idea," he sighed, taking another pull from his beer.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 1:43 pm

"I'm listening." Rachel said, taking a pull off her own beer.

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 1:46 pm

"Thanks, but I've been yelled at by enough people today."

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 1:49 pm

He quirks a brow and sips his drink, leaning back, "That does not sound good."

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 1:50 pm

Cal smirked. "It was, evidently, rated bad enough to the campus at large for someone to shift into a tiger and try to rip my arm off."

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 1:57 pm

"It wasn't me. That is really bad, I hope security's been notified."

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 1:59 pm

"Oh, I know it wasn't you, it was the chick down the hall from me. No warning, no nothing. I opened the door, BAM, fangs in my shoulder."

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:02 pm

He shakes his head and sighs, "Wonderful. It is not enough to have protesters on the lawn and gangs on the streets, we have to fight each other too."

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:03 pm

"Yeah, well, it seems to be the thing to do today."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:04 pm

"Let me guess, she found out how your memory works?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:09 pm

"Oh, they don't care about how it works. They just wanted to harp on the parts they don't like. Namely, the parts that mean that after an asshole hacked my brain today, he could grab all the image files in my short-term memory and post them on a website. Or, at least all of the compromising and embarrassing things that were in there." He looked at her, somewhat amused. "So the moral is that if you start spilling people's memories and personal shit into other people's brains, it's their fault for having those things in their head to start with. You ought to remember that one."

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:11 pm

He frowns and takes another sip of his drink, "I am no expert on computers, but if someone else broke into your memories and made them public, why is anyone mad at you? All you did was remember things, and that is, well, normal."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:13 pm

"People often find it creepy that Cal records everything, and that his brain can connect to the internet." she sighed "You really should tell girls about that."

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:17 pm

"Why? Do you go telling everyone you get with that you can reach in their head and twist things around? It's not like I ever broadcast anything. Well, unless I'm asked for a copy, but that's different. Another few days and it would've been pushed out of the cache."

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:20 pm

"Of all the things I have seen since I left my home, the ability to record things doesn't even register as 'creepy'," he shrugs, "I expect that people will remember my interactions with them. Whether it is a perfect memory or not isn't an issue."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:21 pm

"No, but I don't use my power on people I'm with without their consent, either." Rachel replied "And don't act like you couldn't move it out of cache manually."

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:23 pm

Juma frowns more deeply and looks over to Rachel with an intense gaze, "You should save your lectures on proper behaviour for the person that invaded Calvin's head."

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:23 pm

"Thank you. Someone understands me, at least." Then he sighed, looking back at Rachel. "Are you telling me that when you go by someone you've been with, you don't think about one of the times you had sex with them?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:27 pm

"I don't have a camera constantly recording everything that I do." Rachel replied "And pulling thoughts and distributing them is very difficult for a telepath to pull off." she glanced at Juma "I'm saving my real hate for the person who violated Cal's mind. I just want him to admit he fucked up."

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:30 pm

"The man has just had his memories raped in public, you might want to give him a little time to recover from that before crucifying him."

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:35 pm

"You know, I'm really wondering how long it's going to be before I have people telling me I'm a moron because I can't see or remember things I see without it all going through a computer process first," Cal said, a little shortly.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:12 pm

"Whatever. If you don't want to take responsibility for this, fine."

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:13 pm

Juma sighs again and takes another long sip of his beer, tucking the philosophy text away for now. "Hopefully it will not come to that."

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:16 pm

"Oh for fuck's... why do I bother leaving my room?" Cal muttered, throwing a few bills on the bar before draining the rest of his drink.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:18 pm

"Calm down and stop being so oversensitive, Cal." Rachel said with a sigh "Any idea who did this?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:22 pm

"No idea," he grumbled. "I'm running a trace on the website to try to kill it. I don't even know how they did it. Last time I got hacked, I got an attack program put in that would fry the computer that hacked me, so anything they saw should have been scrambled."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:24 pm

"Should have being the operative words. You should talk to Binary about this."

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:34 pm

"I'm planning on it. I want to get everything in here," he said, tapping the back of his head, "Back where it should be first, after it all got dumped and rewritten." Another beer was brought to him, and he took a long drink from it. "I feel like a really expensive failed science experiment right now."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:36 pm

"Don't worry." Rachel said with a smirk "We can rebuild you. Make you bigger, faster, stronger....wait, they tried that once already."

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:39 pm

"Please. Steve Austin is my bitch."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:41 pm

"Is Steve wearing leather in this fantasy?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:42 pm

"Depends, are we talking yours or mine?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:44 pm

"OOOh, that stung." Rachel said, rolling her eyes "Who was the shifter who went after you, anyway?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:46 pm

"That'd be Jess," he said. "Not that I knew it at the time, of course."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 5:00 pm

"Since when does Jess turn into a cat?" Rachel asked, sounding confused and concerned

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 5:06 pm

"Evidently, since today, god bless my luck."

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 5:11 pm

"Huh. Well, if it's anything like what I go through, that does explain the aggression."
