[is that a note of sarcasm you hear? That's a note of sarcasm you hear. Your dickheadedness is RUBBING OFF. (and she's still mad at you)]

Poor baby.

[but that note does leave her voice and it is replaced by genuine concern.]

What's wrong?

[never_any_doubt]

[His wounded pride is still making him bristly, but having his ego stroked by being pitied is helping somewhat. Oh, Spy, you attention whore.]

I have had all of my scars returned to me in what I can only assume is a jab at my recent failure by reminding me of all zhose in my past. Clever, I will give zhem zhat. But eet has reinforced zhe idea zhat I am not merely insane, which is some consolation. I know when a picture is doctored. Zhese pictures, showing backgrounds zhat are definitely not in Mayfield, are not fake.

[It's a good implication, now that he considers it. This means that whoever is running this little exercise in mindfucking slipped up, gave him something tangible from home to hold onto instead of merely punishing him. Hah!]

[way to go man, way to go at missing the sarcasm. Oh well, it's not like Milla's going to be mean until a week later (I'm sorry, you've exceeded your mean quota today!) and she is concerned, so...]

Well, darling, at least you know that you apparently can regain what we've...[she hates to say lost, because she never lost it, they TOOK it from her, took her things, took her powers -- and she hates the idea of having to do certain things for some authority in order to get what was rightfully HERS to begin with back.]...what they've taken from us.

So there's another thing. I wonder what prompts them to give them back, though?

[never_any_doubt]

I am certain eet is punishment. Someone thinks eet is funny, ironic, to remind me of my past failures in light of my latest one. Someone out zhere has a sense of humor!

[Bitter much, Spy?]

Eet is a matter of control. Whoever runs zhis place is attempting to break us, exert zheir power over us, to make us dependent. Obedient. I will not be trained like a common dog!

[steel_massifail]

It doesn't work for intangible things, like bodies, powers, and scars, but if it's a weapon, well...

I ended up with a ten foot long package.

I will not make the joke I so desperately want to make.

[never_any_doubt]

Hmph. Are you saying zhey may give me back my weapons?

[Oh god, if that's true... the closest thing he has to a romantic relationship is with his Ambassador, which he would DEARLY love to get back...]

CHECK OUT THIS ICON /not using it icly

[steel_massifail]

It's quite possible, yes.

[bloodon_myknife]

So mate, sounds like you got punished for your first one too. Is it temporary like mine was?

[never_any_doubt]

I doubt zhat scars are temporary, filthy jar man.

[bloodon_myknife]

[Attempting to pretend concern ended. Time to just be polite and leave this one to his own issues.]

Well, glad to see you're slowly becoming yourself again mate.

[grey_of_heart]

[New guy.]

They wouldn't have any fun if they warned us.

Although they have in the past, in their own ways.

[ra_ra_razputin]

What'd you get back that was so bad? [Currently imagining Spy with an extra arm or a horn or something.]

Why are you not on AIM to talk me out of apping Sasha?

[never_any_doubt]

My scars. Years and years worth of zhem. Zhey are trying to get to me by enforcing my failures and I will not bend to eet.

[Spyicorn! Not really.]

If by "talk you out of" you really mean "enable"...

[ra_ra_razputin]

That's a lot of scars. You really think they gave you those on purpose?

You horrible person!

[never_any_doubt]

I would assume so, oui. Why else would zhey be back?
