x_makerSo 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.

Only a hand and a leg?

Date: 2004-10-30 02:54 am (UTC)You're probably better off that way.
Date: 2004-10-30 08:50 pm (UTC)Still, I've got a few toys tucked away here and there. You design your own, or modify one of the Shaw or Stark model prosthetics?

Re: You're probably better off that way.
Date: 2004-10-30 09:40 pm (UTC)With as extensive replacement as you've had, that's GOT to be either military or experimental full-body prosthesis. I admit to being incredibly intrigued.
Good point.
Date: 2004-10-31 02:02 am (UTC)Best way to describe it is custom Shaw hardware with Frost software driving the MMI. The specifics are way over my head, though. Runs off my mutation, which is really convenient for the most part.

Re: Good point.
Date: 2004-10-31 02:04 am (UTC)You FLY?
That is the coolest thing I think I've ever heard.
I do indeed fly.
Date: 2004-10-31 02:08 am (UTC)Like I said, the design specifics are way over _my_ head.
Stop by sometime, maybe I'll show you.
Salaam,
Haroun
