004 - Audio [backdated to the event start]

As humorous as it may be to believe these cuffs are to be used for... more... pleasant diversions...

[Can you just hear the little smirk he has right now?]

... It may be much more correct to assume it's some way of telling us to, shall we say, stop attacking one another.

I can't imagine our hosts are terribly thrilled with our behavior lately.

Comments

[...oh, man, Charles, why that first comment. Now Bobby is torn between 'heh' and '...aaaawkward'. Which means he's just going to. Slide over that now.]

That's a good point. The timing'd definitely be right, and there's nothing like being stuck with someone to force them to get along.

[He pauses.]

Then again, given what happened at the Halloween party, maybe he likes violence. Handcuffing two people together's probably equally likely to get them to resort to fighting as it is to get them to get along.

[Audio]

[knowsyourmind]

[Come on Bobby. He's young. He's got working parts. Let him use them as long as he can.]

True enough.

However, have you heard of any incidents of attacks since the cuffs appeared?

[Audio] ...now I will always see that icon as Bobby pretending to be a telepath

[mister_10_below]

[But. He. Yeah okay. Just as long as Bobby doesn't actually have to think about his Professor and working parts in the same sentence.]

No, just a lot of people complaining about them on the journals.

[Not that he can blame them. He's friends with who he's cuffed to, and it's still somewhat annoying.]

I've heard some people are just hiding in their rooms, though.

[Audio] "LOOK PROFESSOR I CAN MIND READ TOO"

[knowsyourmind]

That would seem to support the idea of them attempting to force us to get along.

I can't quite blame them, really. I seem to be doing the same, myself.

[Audio] "AREN'T YOU PROUD"

[mister_10_below]

I'd complain about his methods, but I think I'll wait and see if they actually work.

[He's not exactly thrilled with all of the violence lately, either.]

Smart. Unfortunately for me, I was outside when the handcuffs made their appearance.

[Audio] "... YES :|"

[knowsyourmind]

I'm not forseeing any fantastic results, personally, but we can always be optimistic.

Then let's hope your partner wasn't interested in joining the local S&M subculture... [HE'S TEASING YOU, KID.]

[Audio] ":D"

[mister_10_below]

Normally I'm all for optimism, but I think it might be misplaced in this case, too.

[There's a second here where his brain kind of tries to break a little, because oh dear god Professor + S&M do not want, but this seems to be a case of something so brain breaking that he actually can't go there. No longer associating Charles with the Professor in his world, thanks, at least not for this conversation.]

Our outfits would be all wrong for it, anyway.

[Audio]

[knowsyourmind]

There's always room for hope. The believe believe things can improve for the better is what keeps people from falling completely into despair. You'd do well to remember that.

[But he doesn't sound annoyed.]

... Perhaps some of yours would be, yes.

[Because this flight suit thing he showed up in? Kind of leaves nothing to the imagination.]
