[ instead of a feed starting, a 'program' begins to run, scrolling down across the screen. no, this isn't really a post (though it kind of is). deal with it. or... y'know, don't. it's entirely up to you. but chuck won't be responding to anything himself. it's a game okay, A REAL GAME. BE ENTERTAINED and choose your own adventure. (p.s. responses of any form are allowed.) ]

> YOUR ADVENTURE BEGINS ....

You awaken to find yourself in complete darkness, rock hard ground beneath you. You are entirely unharmed and soon discover you are able to move freely through an open space. The only sound that can be heard is the faint dripping of water in the distance, accompanied by its echoes.

WHAT DO YOU DO NEXT?

Or pissing them off, but that kinda goes hand in hand around here. I've just-- It's something I used to do at home, when I started off at college. Make games.

Pissing people off is a hazard of the job. It pays off in the end, though; like the extra pain of the suture needle.

I usually try to avoid the whole stitches thing in the first place. I find the end result of that to be even better.

voice; private; comms encryption

[cargojet]

Stitches happen. You can't always avoid them. Sometimes you just get shot.

[intersection]

And sometimes people just can't help falling in love, but we all manage to work our way around it.

voice; private; comms encryption

[cargojet]

Falling in love is like getting shot?

voice; private; comms encryption

[intersection]

No, you can't avoid falling in love. Even if it's... not something that works out the way you wanted it to.

[ .... ] You're missing my point here.

voice; private; comms encryption

[cargojet]

So what is the point? Might be easier if you told me.

voice; private; comms encryption

[intersection]

You were the one that started off with the point.

voice; private; comms encryption

[cargojet]

You're the one who got onto the topic of love. Maybe now I want to know what it is you meant by that. There a woman in your life, Chuck?

I have a girlfriend, but I thought you wanted to talk about distracting people? Because i'll be the first to admit that she's a good distraction - believe me, I know from way too much experience - but I don't think she wants to be used for everyone else's benefit.

voice; private; comms encryption

[cargojet]

Just trying to get to know you. So a girlfriend? Pretty?

voice; private; comms encryption

[intersection]

Yeah. Really-- really pretty, like the kind of pretty where you stop and wonder why she ever actually looks back sometimes.

voice; private; comms encryption

[cargojet]

Girls like that--it's always about what's underneath. They know how shallow physical attraction is; they want more out of love than that.

Says something about the kind of man you are.

voice; private; comms encryption

[intersection]

I think it says something about right time- right place. Which is the wrong thing to say around here.

voice; private; comms encryption

[cargojet]

You're being too harsh on yourself.

voice; private; comms encryption

[intersection]

No, no i'm really not.

voice; private; comms encryption

[cargojet]

When you're young, those kinds of women always seem unattainable, you know. But the truth is beautiful young women aren't attracted to beautiful young men. Honesty, talent, a good sense of humour, a powerful sex drive, great genes--they're more enduring.

[ FFF, SNORT. Really, Nathan? ]

Yeah, okay, some of those things I can identify with but y'know, when you leave a beautiful woman at a train station and pick a job opportunity of a life time over her, you don't really think you're going to be winning her back anytime soon.

voice; private; comms encryption

[cargojet]

You think so? I think some women might find that responsible and daring at the same time.

You know--women like to play hard to get, but there are times when they like you playing harder.

voice; private; comms encryption

[intersection]

No, i'm.. pretty sure she didn't like that part very much.

voice; private; comms encryption

[cargojet]

Don't be too sure. In the long run, it might work out better for you because of it.

voice; private; comms encryption

[intersection]

I'll take your word for it.
