Send a sprite out into the world wide for a few cycles and the whole system gets a reformat. I'd ask if you missed me, but it looks like you've got bigger problems than one stray little mouse.

It's almost like 127.

And Sandrock, sugar, are you still interested in that contract job?

What is the job?

<encrypted>

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

It's been a while, sugar, but I've got the schematics and the funds for a private plane. If you're still interested in the job.

[pacifister]

(In which several minutes go by as he looks over the schematics.)

I'm certain I can do this. There may be some minor modifications to the design for the sake of the materials and technology available here.

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

Not a problem. Just let me know how much capital you need and when you need it.

<encrypted> He will totally remember this once he's back!

[pacifister]

I'll contact you in a few days.

To tell the truth, big dinosaurs and stuff like that are like, something that happens every once in a while back home.

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

Same here, sugar. The dinosaurs back home have tanks for faces.

[razzledazzlee.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's, huh, special.

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

It was during the system crash. The restore got rid of all the undeleted RAM, and the dinosaurs with it.

[razzledazzlee.livejournal.com]

The what now?

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

System crash. You ever own a computer?

[razzledazzlee.livejournal.com]

... Are you a computer?

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

I'm from the Net — so you can say I'm from one.

[razzledazzlee.livejournal.com]

Okay, to be perfectly honest, you aren't the weirdest being I've talked to, but you're close.

No offence or anything.

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

None taken, honey. What was the weirdest?

[razzledazzlee.livejournal.com]

There are a couple of them. But a giant talking rat with a bad hairdo and a trippy session of going back and forth in time and talking with a weirdo dragon may take the gold medal.

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

Time travel?

[razzledazzlee.livejournal.com]

You know, to be honest, I'm not even sure myself.

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

Oh, where are my manners? You can call me Mouse.

[razzledazzlee.livejournal.com]

Jubilee. Nice to meet you.

[strangenius.livejournal.com]

Where did you go off to?

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

Oh, here and there. I think my passport might have been working harder than I was.

[strangenius.livejournal.com]

That sounds pleasant. I haven't gone on any trips in a very long time.

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

Well get out there, sugar! There's nothing like it, and it sure is a sight nicer than this place.

[beenablast.livejournal.com]

Okay, none of this post made any sense at all to me.

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

It's something I'm used to, sugar.

[epidemico.livejournal.com]

Baby, ain't nothin' in this world o'the next can pry me away from pinin' after you.

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

I wondered if I was going to hear from you, sugar.

[epidemico.livejournal.com]

I do try hard not disappoint, fille.

How ya been?

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

Overworked. They were hurting bad for better shields.

You haven't been having too much fun without me, have you?

[epidemico.livejournal.com]

Mouse, yanno that's damnwell impossible.

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

Why, Thrax! You'll wind up giving a girl an ego like that.

How have things been holding up around these parts? I haven't had a chance to index the archives yet.

[hellraiser02.livejournal.com]

'sup?

<hooray encrypts everywhere>

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

Seems like it's all destruction and mayhem here, sugar. I almost miss the six-cycle layovers.

<same forever!>

[hellraiser02.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, that's what it always is. Ya get used to it after a little while.

Say, came across a really good encryption in Iron Bot's post, I couldn't get through it- from whatever it was that intercepted his post. Maybe you'd be interested in taking a look at it, if you haven't already?

<^>

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

I haven't had a chance to look yet, honey. Someone intercepted the A-Iron's broadcast?

[hellraiser02.livejournal.com]

Mmmhm! Take a look at this (http://community.livejournal.com/capeandcowl/796023.html?thread=65253495#t65253495).

Real interesting, huh?

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

I haven't ever seen anything like it. Not exactly the prettiest perl on the necklace, but it's definitely the strongest. I'm going to take a closer look at this.

/b/ ?

[hellraiser02.livejournal.com]

Good luck. It was really nasty... not even sure where to begin with it.

Er-- let's call it.. the slums of the internet. Lots of bozos and jokers and losers who have nothing better to do than terrorize anyone that wanders into their turf.

...And make lolcats.

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

I'll let you know when I get something.

Sounds familiar. The Supercomputer had a couple sectors like that — pretty easy to get work in a place like that.

[hellraiser02.livejournal.com]

Cool, thanks.

Yeah, it's easy enough to get around there, it's just.. whether you're willing to see the horrible sights there, yanno?

wow how did I miss a Mouse post

[acemedium.livejournal.com]

Did you go somewhere?

the same way i failed to return to it for two days?

[doubleclicked.livejournal.com]

Went a little bit of everywhere, sugar.
