Riot in Smichov - check the news

[x_maker]

Apparently early this morning - well, early morning here - something happened in Smichov in the Czech Republic, where they've built that wall around the mutant ghetto. They were letting some people pass through the barricades and there was "an incident", and somehow the military started opening fire. Newsfeeds are getting scattered reports of citizens versus soldiers in and out of the ghetto - have we heard ANYTHING from the Elpis folks that were heading out there? I've been watching what video's getting out of there, there hasn't been anything new in the past hour.

This is absolutely horrifying and why isn't the jet taking off yet?

Just out of curiousity... why do you wear the black leather outfits? Who chose black leather and why?

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

An old friend of the professor. And really, the leather is just a good, tough covering for the body armor.

I have some possible improvements to that, by the way, that I want to test at some point with some volunteers...

I'm up for it. Not like anythin' can hurt me anyways.

[x-aerial.livejournal.com]

I see.

Because straight metal is uncomfortable.

I mean, personally. I can't stand the leather.

Apparently, Forge has suggestions on ways to improve the uniforms. Perhaps you would like to look into that.

There's almost nothing that won't make me look fat. Leather suffices for now. If Forge can come up with something that doesn't add 40 pounds on top of the 40 pounds of metal I already have, I'll happily switch.

I honestly do not believe that you could look fat even if you really wanted to look fat.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

A nice thought but sadly untrue.

Arguing with Ms. Dane over her weight is like banging your head against a wall, ultimately futile and it's only going to give you a massive headache.

[x-aerial.livejournal.com]

So we are supposed to pretend that she is overweight?

I tend to sing the national anthem really, really loudly, myself.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I'm capable of reading this, you know. Sitting right here and all.

[x-aerial.livejournal.com]

I apologize. Would you like me to pretend that you are overweight?

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

No...

You don't have to pretend anything. I didn't really mean to make my weight a point of discussion.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know. And I feel no guilt about your reading the fact that I think you are beautiful and could possibly even use a cheeseburger or two and am quite content to ignore all protests that say otherwise.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Brat. Hypocrite brat even, don't think I don't know what you eat.

Cheeseburgers are the devil.
