Because people LOVE parallel threads on message boards.

So I'm supposed to be using this journal to express myself and communicate with the rest of the people at the school. The Professor tells me communication's important, and I suppose that it's one of those things that you aren't graded on but it's a test anyway. Fine then.

Apparently everyone here 'does' something. I make stuff. I imagine it in my head, I see it, I make it. If you want some big reason beyond that, just accept that I'm a genius, and leave it at that. Child prodigy, whatever. So that's what I do. Are we "communicating" yet?

Go ahead and stare at the leg when I walk by you in the halls. I know you're going to, and it doesn't bother me. Been used to it for about a year now. Check out the hand, they're a matching set. I don't need your help going up the stairs or opening a door.

Everyone tells me I'm going to like it here, and I'm going to make a lot of new friends. That would be odd, seeing as I'm not certain that I had any old friends, and I'm not sure I'd miss them if I had any. So if I don't run over to shake hands like we're best buddies when you walk into a room, it's not your fault. Unless it is.

This system's set up to buzz me with an email when someone replies to these entries. How quaint. Well, I suppose if this is what passes for communication, it shouldn't be too hard.

EDIT: Yes, Kyle. I've already met you. I can hear you typing like a woodpecker from here.

Welcome to the Madhouse. I'm Lorna. Make ya a deal. You don't stare at the hair and I won't stare at the leg. ;)

Hungry?

I had some banana bread earlier, but all else I've had today has been airline food and a McMuffin. I think I can find my way down to the kitchen if there's food involved.

What's with your hair?

It's green. I gather that it's a just a fun bonus on the rest of the mutation though don't quote me on that. I'm just a chef not a doctor.

There's always food in the big kitchen. Come on down and I'll fix you up a welcome to the madness meal.
