Cal shrugged. "Your family, your risk. I'll shut up," he said.

"Its not like that." Aisha said "I just....I don't want to believe that my parents are going to have to lose both of their kids."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Nov 01, 2013 1:14 am

"They haven't lost you. You're right here, healthy and fine. They can come see you any time they want, right?"

by **Aisha Khan** » Fri Nov 01, 2013 1:26 am

"Yeah, I guess."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Nov 01, 2013 1:35 am

"You know... people keep saying shit like this, and then telling me not to build death rays. I don't get it."

by **Aisha Khan** » Fri Nov 01, 2013 11:13 pm

"Because building death rays doesn't solve anything."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 12:06 am

"Because sitting by without death rays has solved the 'they're making giant robots' problem, right?"

by **Aisha Khan** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 12:10 am

"And part of the reason why they think they need giant robots is that some of us make death rays."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 12:17 am

"No one's made any death rays! And... look, you know, you might be right, but we don't know that death rays won't help until we try having death rays!"

by **Aisha Khan** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 12:18 am

"Yes, because violence solves things." Aisha said sarcastically

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 12:30 am

"Pacifism only works from a distance."

by **Aisha Khan** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 12:36 am

"No it doesn't." Aisha said "We have to find a way to live in peace."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 12:44 am

"See, everyone is all up in arms about the death rays, until you need one and you don't freaking have one."

by **Aisha Khan** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 12:46 am

"The point is that we want to not get to the point where we need a death ray."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 12:55 am

"See, there's the problem, are you that sure that we aren't at that point already?"

by **Aisha Khan** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 12:58 am

"I don't think we are." Aisha said "The MRA crap isn't spreading outside the US, and even in the US, there has been some push-back."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 1:08 am

"Oh? So you think that douchebag Senator is coming over here for the sunny weather, right?"

by **Aisha Khan** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 1:10 am

"Just because he's coming over here doesn't mean he's going to get what he wants." Aisha said "Unless you're dumb enough to believe the conspiracy theory that he's a self-hating telepath."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 1:13 am

"Please, if he was a mutant we'd have outed him by now."

by **Aisha Khan** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 1:16 am

"That was sort of my point." Aisha said "Especially if he was powerful. Although" she smiled "I do kinda like the idea that his mutation is really, really embarrassing."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 1:23 am

"He doesn't have to have an embarrassing mutation. Maybe he just got shot down by too many mutant girls or for too many mutant prettyboys."

by **Aisha Khan** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 1:24 am

"Or maybe he's just a jerk."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 1:36 am

"In other news, water is wet."

by **Aisha Khan** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 2:20 am

"Hey, sometimes its simple."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 2:29 am

"Sometimes a douchebag is just a douchebag. Sometimes a ghost is just a ghost. Sometimes your girlfriend is really just banging the history teacher," Cal quipped as he sent three of the spheres floating out the window.

by **Aisha Khan** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 2:31 am

"What?!" Aisha said "How can you say that? Haley wouldn't do something like that."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 2:34 am

"What? Of course she wouldn't, he's like a million years old," he said. "I'm just sick of people saying it," he added, muttering darkly.

by **Aisha Khan** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 2:36 am

"Of course you are, no one should insult her like that."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 2:41 am

"Has to be something going on, though. I mean, it's not like they make all these stories about everyone."

by **Aisha Khan** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 2:48 am

"You know how people love to gossip." Aisha said "If someone sees two people talking, the next day they are dating and the day after that they're doing everything. I'm sure that Haley is just his friend, swapping bodies pulled them together."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 2:49 am

"You don't say," Cal said darkly.

by **Aisha Khan** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 2:52 am

"Not in a bad way." Aisha said "Just that he's...kind of like a uncle or a mentor."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 3:54 am

"Right. Mr. 'Has no power anything like hers and comes from when your daughters were property to be sold for a few goats' probably has a lot to mentor her in."

by **Aisha Khan** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 11:44 pm

"He's been alive for a long time." Aisha said "It isn't like he just woke up from being frozen."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Nov 02, 2013 11:46 pm

"Okay, I want you to think of every grandparent you've ever met and how stuck they are on how things were 'in their day'."

by **Aisha Khan** » Sun Nov 03, 2013 12:50 am

"Yeah, but that has to change if you're as old as he is."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sun Nov 03, 2013 12:51 am

"Right, so maybe he's upgraded a couple thousand years. Still puts him, oh, I don't know, at the turn of recorded history?"

by **Aisha Khan** » Sun Nov 03, 2013 1:01 am

"I'm not saying he doesn't have some strange ideas. Just that I don't think that he and Haley are being...inappropriate."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sun Nov 03, 2013 1:22 am

"Yeah, well, she could talk to, y'know, her real boyfriend about things..." Cal muttered.

by **Aisha Khan** » Sun Nov 03, 2013 5:04 pm

"Have you tried talking to her?"
