03 Meeting

[seyfertsalvage.livejournal.com]

Hey Teddy,

I'm starting to get an inkling of what Stark may have done to me and... frankly I don't like it.  I don't know if you're getting tired of being the de facto house psychiatrist but you seem fairly normal for a skrull and I think I'm not used to being away from my family. I think I might be cracking up.  Can we find a place to talk?

Hey, dude. You okay there?

Couldn't sleep last night. I don't know.. eating more sugar seemed to help the migraines, but it's keeping me awake and wired, giving me mood swings.

I got out some paper and started brain storming. You talked about maybe starting with something boring like something for the prison lunchroom. Started conceptualizing how to refurbish a smoothie dispenser, you know like the ones you see in the mini-marts. It took me about 15 minutes to have a final blue print ready. 15 minutes. I usually need the actual machine on hand and at least a full day of planning on a project like this.

I spent the rest of the night disassembling and reassembling all of the appliances in my room.

Look... Teddy what I'm trying to say is that Iron Man, damn him some how tried to make me smarter. Look I haven't totally been honest with my past. There's some stuff that I need to tell... well somebody. I'm in room 2101 come on up if you have a chance.

OOC:

Going to set up a post in the log community if that's ok.

Hey, uh, just don't totally wig out, dude, alright? Well, um, figure something out. Just-

just give me a little bit of time to, like, get my shit together, okay?

What makes you think a teenage alien from another universe who just had the problems of all metahumans in this city dropped in his lap can be a psychiatrist for you?

[seyfertsalvage.livejournal.com]

...

Shouldn't be working your shift at Hot Topic... >_

[iknowyourfear.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't you be taking your pills.

[seyfertsalvage.livejournal.com]

Maybe this thing that's happened to me has made me sick...

Maybe it's made me crazy.

I should probably talk to a doctor. I'd like to talk to a friend first.

[iknowyourfear.livejournal.com]

What's your super power, whining?

You have no idea.

[seyfertsalvage.livejournal.com]

Ok... look.

I imagine when your power first surfaced it was a hundred times worse than what I went through last night. I might be over-reacting.

I won't say he's made me smarter but in the past few days my mind's become different. I'm recalling facts that I should in no way remember. I'm seeing how things in particular machines come together almost immediately. Making these calculations effortlessly. None of these sound like it should be a problem, even with the headaches, insomnia.

But I have this younger brother named Chris whose been... sick. Real sick... for a long time. I've been thinking of him ever since I got here and his disease, and all of a sudden without even trying I calculated his chances of dieing before I came home.

I'm sorry I shouldn't try and drag Teddy into this. I shouldn't be bitching about this on the board.

Forget it. I'm not interested in anybody's sob story.

Dude, did you just go all knight in shining armor on me?

[ private :: teddy ]

[iknowyourfear.livejournal.com]

Dude. Did you just hit your head?

[ private :: trauma ]

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Dude. I'm pretty sure what you just did kind of qualifies.

Though, far be it from me, to overlook the snark-factor you see in pretty much everybody, T.

[ private :: teddy ]

[iknowyourfear.livejournal.com]

What's that make you, the damsel in distress?

[ private :: trauma ]

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

...maybe. Why are damsel's not your thing, dude?
