Know what? I hate this place. Stop the ride, I wanna get off.

If anyone needs me, I'll be in the office at the Lux finishing payroll.

[Private to Brennan/Unhackable]

You doing any better today?

What happened?

[starchilde_lost]

She's gone. Again. Kitty's gone again.

[starfleet-pimp.livejournal.com]

Damn. I'm sorry, Rach.

[starchilde_lost]

I am so sick of this place.

[starfleet-pimp.livejournal.com]

You want some company?

[starchilde_lost]

Not really. I'm just holing up in the office with the payroll and some music until I can forget how much I HATE this place.

I realize this is a really bad time for you, but I need to ask you for your help.

Um, you want the honest answer or the nice one?

What's wrong, Ray?

[starchilde_lost]

Okay.

We found the woman that was murdered and had her body parts delivered all over the City, but she doesn't remember anything. I was wondering if you could take a look in her mind and see what you can see.

[starchilde_lost]

The honest one.

...Kitty's gone.

[Private/Unhackable]

[starchilde_lost]

If she's okay with it, I don't see why not.

Re: [Private/Unhackable]

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

She said so long as she doesn't end up remembering what happened, she's fine with it. So if you can look without having her remember/see what you see, that would be perfect.

If I get upset or lose my temper, I taze myself. How do you think I am?

...I'm sorry, Ray.

Re: [Private/Unhackable]

[starchilde_lost]

It's a little trickier than that, but even if it does leak through I can block the memory off.

Or do you want me to erase them? Are we taking this guy to trial if we find him, or just... disappearing him?

Private // unhackable

[starchilde_lost]

Ouch. Anything I can do to help?

Don't worry about it, I'll be fine.

Private // unhackable

[theshockvalue.livejournal.com]

No. There's nothing anyone can do, Ray. It either fixes itself or it kills me. That's about it.

This after you telling me you always feel like you're the last one left?

Private // unhackable

[starchilde_lost]

Fix itself how?

...you don't need to worry about me, not while you're... having these problems. I'll go over to Billy's, have some ice cream and watch terrible movies.

Private // unhackable

Well, my brain either catches up and I can control it again, or it doesn't and my genes eventually pull themselves apart.

I'll do my best, but I'm not promising anything.

Re: [Private/Unhackable]

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

Alright, great.

You'd have to ask her about that, it's her choice.

Private // unhackable

[starchilde_lost]

Your brain catches up - like relearning how to control it?

Good. Just take it easy.

Private // unhackable

[theshockvalue.livejournal.com]

Yeah, except last time, I had someone to show me how. This time, I've gotta figure it out on my own.

Private // unhackable

[starchilde_lost]

How did they show you - did they have powers like yours?

Private // unhackable

[theshockvalue.livejournal.com]

No. I've never met anyone with powers like mine. There are less of 1,000 New Mutants anyway.

No, Emma, she linked with me, found where the control centers were.

Right, that pesky it's not a crime unless the victim says so law.
