Is there anything in the fridge? Food? If so, stuff in microwave and heat it up while hoping it won't explode. If not, more fridges!

"I'm not your pet Stellar, I'm your friend. "
My grip on her eases and I look up at her, but I'm still holding her if she doesn't pull away.
"Above all else, I am me. I am my own before I am yours or anyone else's. I deserve all the rights that I believe everyone else deserves. I'm not saying I'm better than others, but I'm not below anyone either. First and foremost, that includes the right to choose. And if I think that making my life a little harder to make yours a little easier is worth it, then that is my choice to make, not yours, not anyone else's. Remember that."
I hug her tightly again and pull my head against her, once again blocking my own view but letting me feel her presence against me.
"It's why I'm so afraid of having someone messing with my mind, my will, so much."
...
"I'll be ok Stellar. I agreed on the conditions of not betraying my responsibilities, my friends, or myself. I understand what those conditions really mean better than he possibly can. If he tries to exploit me, I'll have every right to say no."
((I've gotten all I'm after from this conversation by giving Stellar that info and finding out what the trial is about. I'm fine with opening/leaving the area and begining interactions with more than just Stellar after this... unless Charlie gets dragged in here of course. *Lenglon does read other player's turns*))

So I failed...just like so many times before.  I can only hope their world is better off for it.

I found this entirely too hilarious.  Allow me to counter with The International Obfuscated C Code Contest.  In particular, this one is pretty awesome.

Not much, electronic man! I'm kinda hungry, though. You might want to watch your head.

Zechariah paused for a moment, thinking. He wasn't sure what to say yet. Scion was somewhat right: what did it matter to him about the past now? He was on his own, he had no access to his previous dimension.
Still..

"Well then.. why do you keep me around still? I'm not satisfied yet. There has to be a reason that I did not disintegrate into basic particles when the Medium broke." He was getting a bit out of his territory, but the words kept coming. "Why, out of all the people you could've possibly chosen, did you pick me? You don't seem to have a particular liking towards me, and it seems more like this is drudge work for you rather than a true.. relationship." Zechariah turned his head back toward the crystals.
"There's something more to this than just this competition. There has to be an honest answer here. I care about this because this is the path that I am going to take, and I should know what I'm stepping into. If we're going to work together with this, I need to know.. why you chose me."

John nodded at Dubley Nikolai.  "Thanks for your help.  What happened to you guys?  All I heard was a boom and you two were gone."

"Boom? Closer to FWOOOOOSHSH. It had a flamethrower. Rune tried to rescue me but I was too heavy. At least I crippled it first.

So, how's that spear?

Is there anything in the fridge? Food? If so, stuff in microwave and heat it up while hoping it won't explode. If not, more fridges!

I am a paragon of reasonable action!
There's an open, half eaten can of corn of dubious quality in the now nun-functional fridge.
Yay! Time to make popcorn!
You put the can in the microwave and activate it.
The can starts emitting blue and red sparks that arc from one side to the other.
Wait a second... You know what that means! That means...

...

OH MY GOD!! THAT MEANS YOUR POP CORN IS GOING TO GET SUPERPOWERS!!

"I know. I understand. But I still feel bad."

You stay there for a few minutes, embracing each other.

"I need to leave. But I'll be listening. If you need anything, just say it to me and I'll hear you. Do you think you are going to be okay?"


So I failed...just like so many times before.  I can only hope their world is better off for it.
"Is there some way to keep track of Faron, my host, I'd like to see what happens."
"I can't do it on my own. But I could ask around and learn, if you want."


Go congratulate that guy on stabbing the robot.
"Good job stabbing the robot."
Great stabbing man. Really good technique. I'll give you a 10 for execution, but a 7 for form. You need to practice your moves a bit man. Make a pirouette or something before stabbing. Missing a leg is not an excuse. Or just scream a very long sentence, like you're in an anime.

<I chose you because you had what I needed, I chose you because you had something that interested me, I chose you because I wanted to learn, I chose you because I believe I can turn you into something greater. Even though there are parts of you I find less than appealing. And that is all I am going to say on the matter. So stop testing the limits of my patience.>

Oh M G! This is amazing, now I'll have supercorn powers!

Stare directly at it with my face 2-3 inches from the microwave, on my hands and knees.

"I'll be okay. Go."
I release Stellar, back away a step, and look up at her with a smile.
"Thank you."

after Stellar is gone, I shake myself off, re-settle myself and the flower Theri gave me, and then step out of my personal area and into the Staging Area.

"Spear's interesting.  It's a hell of a lot more complex than it looks, but it certainly cuts through armor like nothing else."
