First of all ████ this shit.

[ Mackenzie Haynes is one very unhappy looking young woman. She is dressed in the typical new hire garment and she glares at the camera on her device like she might be able to burn a hole in it. That changes to an almost unhinged level of outrage when she realizes that the application is bleeping out her curse word. ]

What the ████?

Why can't I say ████?

So not only did I get ████ing kidnapped, I can't even cuss about it? This is bull████.

hey, better for you to know where we all stand then not. especially now.

[ragefeathers]

Yeah, thanks. I get it.

At least some of the people here know how to not be complete ████heads.

[monkey_wrench]

oh don't get me wrong, i'm definitely a ████head. just a ████head that recognizes more dead bodies aren't going to help anyone right now.

[ragefeathers]

Hey, that makes two of us.

For some reason some ████heads think it's a good idea to piss people off here instead of talking to them like ████ing reasonable ████ing people.

[monkey_wrench]

[Okay, he likes this one. Anger issues and all.]

yeah, not sure what's gotten up with him today. he's usually one of the "good ones". not the type to chafe people on purpose.

i'm jack, by the way. and the man with the sudden case of foot in mouth syndrome is robbie. and i could theoretically give you his room number if you wanted to follow through on breaking his jaw.

[He's helping.]

[ragefeathers]

He's good at running his ████ing mouth that's for sure.

[ She thinks she likes this Jack guy. ]

If you could theoretically do that I would theoretically buy you a beer at some point.

If you hypothetically give her my room number, you better definitively tell her that Brainy isn’t involved in this.

[Oh, right. He roomed with Brainy. Who likely wouldn't be too happy if he found out Jack had sicked the new girl on him for a laugh. Which would definitely put some kind of strain on their work relationship. And he actually kind of respected the man to some extent, so that would be kind of a bummer.

Crap...Alright. That's okay! He could totally fix this.

Probably.]

aw, relax bouncy ball, i speak fluently in the language of "everything is making me more angry and i just want to kick it in the teeth", i'll try and talk her down. kinda think she just needs someone on her level right now.

and next time you meet you can have a nice calm conversation. one where you hopefully don't push every button and she doesn't threaten to put her thumbs in your eyes.

what was up with that by the way? i'm terrible with people and even i know that was a bad move.

I’m not an empath - I misjudged the situation and agreeing that I’m a moron didn’t work. We all have off nights.

Usually people blow it off, not up.

ah. well, who among us hasn't made one or fifty people want to clock them in the jaw?

[walkingballpit]

Not gonna lie, there are times that I’ve literally asked for it.

Re: Text - Private

[monkey_wrench]

really? personally, i try and direct people away from hitting me in my face, but then, i don't have your powers.

come to think of it, those have got to be pretty handy in a fist fight.

Text - Private

[walkingballpit]

Yeah, it doesn’t really matter where they hit me...

You know, I don’t think I’ve been in an actual fistfight since I got my powers. I’ve been in fights, and I’ve been punched. But like, squaring off with someone in an alley? Nah.
