I ran into Taylor today.
She was Aura farming near the Boat-Graveyard, just standing on one of the piers, hair flowing cinematically in the breeze, looking like Edmond Dantès out of that book Emmy's been making me read lately, The Count of Monte Cristo.
I guess she noticed me hovering nearby...
I guess we're back to the awkward dinners at Battery's place, but I laid down the ground rules right from the start this time and pinned a message at the top of the Awkward Dinner Conversations channel of the IRC to remind them that I'm a teleporter and immune to their bullshit.
Assault found...
Today was a "team building exercise" with Firewatch, Aspirant, Addison, and Dauntless.
I guess the Deputy Director was all proud of that one raid where we managed to stop Uber and Leet's minions, so he's going to have Addison train up with Firewatch, then go out with one of the PRT squads like...
WOW does PR get me a LOT of points, I figured meeting hero would be a few, but geez-louise, even a decently sized roll just got me down to "a lot."

[6:59] SpinDoctor>> Agenda tonight: Phoenix and Dauntless merch lines, integration into series merch, card exclusives, legacy rotations, problem cases. Keep it tight, but vivid.

[07:48] Khaleesi >> Contrast is important. Phoenix rises silent, myth incarnate, the Platonic ideal. A goddess costume doesn't say *trick or treat* it says mysterious and regal. Meanwhile Shadow Stalker, grim, dour, ethically murky, looks like a child sneaking into a Hamlet...
Threadmarks: 56: Interlude: Glenn Chambers: Wizard's, Knight's and a Hero (4/17/11)
Sunday arrived with a cooler, brisk morning. The plaza had been transformed: banners evoked medieval courts, fantastical landscapes, and floating pennants hinted at distant kingdoms. Glenn walked slowly across the cobblestone layout, noting positions for children, PR staff, and troopers. Today...
The plaza was already buzzing as Glenn arrived, clipboard under arm and eyes scanning for optimal crowd flow. Fountains caught the morning sun in fleeting sparkles, and banners flapped gently over the open square. Today's theme was deliberately whimsical: princess cosplay, designed to engage...

Today was a lot, so I'm just going to list out all the magic powers that were given and the basic theme of their spells in the order I gave them to people:
Missy (Wards) Creo-Ignem: Firebending, plus it's strangely cheap in terms of points for what it does.
Fox (Himself??) Rego-Mentem: This...
Well, now I just kinda feel bad…
Though Addison seemed happy enough about it.

They put me in M/S quarantine…
There was a tense moment when that robotic voice commanded me to send the wolves away, but I just did a reply:all in the "Official" server:
"Heads up, from the M/S Quarantine Cell - If you assholes foam the wolfpack, then I'm done pretending to be restricted or...
Seems I'm not the only one branching out lately.
I found out that sis finally got over her endless pining for that chameleon, Dean.
I guess she and Addison have been spending most of their days together since their at the same levels in tutoring, so she finally got sick of his boyscout routine...
