[ This communicator is registered to Felicia. She rarely has reason to make her own consultations to the Network, but this one has been weighing on her. Even more so than normally. Her tone is musing, though terser than usual. ]

Mm. I have a question that I don't believe has been answered yet. Tell a girl: has anyone developed a way to get rid of powers? Permanently. I know about the cheats to the system this place has.

Who would, if there were money in it for them?

You can assume this is rhetorical.

[ "Window-shopping" would be a better term, though. ]

What's brewing up in that twisty little mind of yours, Cat?

encrypted;

[acrossyourpath]

I'm just saying what I'm sure more are thinking.

encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

Right, but you're not the type to idly muse. Well, maybe if a bubble bath and a bottle of Chardonnay is involved, but otherwise...

[acrossyourpath]

Never said it was idle, little Spider. Don't you remember Venezuela?

encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

In all kinds of technicolor detail, believe me.

encrypted;

[acrossyourpath]

Well.

Seems like something that deserves an option.

encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

I'm definitely not disagreeing. Just curious -- heh -- to know what you had in mind exactly.

encrypted;

[acrossyourpath]

Maybe I wasn't being specific.

encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

What, not even in the hypothetical?

encrypted;

[acrossyourpath]

Helps keep it hypothetical, doesn't it?

encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

"Evasive" might be another word I'd use. Seriously, are you actually hiding something or are you just fencing because that's what we do?

encrypted;

[acrossyourpath]

Does it make a difference?

encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

Well, for the purposes of our banter, not really, but you know how curious I get.

encrypted;

[acrossyourpath]

You know how I am about information.

encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

Aw, come on. I handed you a "killed the spider" joke right there and you left me hanging.

encrypted;

[acrossyourpath]

By a thread -- I know. I've made enough of those jokes tonight already.

encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

Don't tell me you've run out of material already.

encrypted;

[acrossyourpath]

I haven't given up my day job for stand-up yet.

encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

Which is a shame, because I'd pay good money to see that. If only to watch you put the hecklers in their places.

encrypted;

[acrossyourpath]

That's really more up your alley.

encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

Yeah, I've got a story to tell about that that I might tell you ... some other time. [Or NEVER.]

encrypted;

[acrossyourpath]

Sounds like a fun one.

encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

Depends who you ask, really.

encrypted;

[acrossyourpath]

Mm. Well, it's you that I have here.

encrypted;

[incywincyhero]

I just remembered I left a load of laundry running. Tee tee why ell, as the kiddies say?
