12:06	Rabid_Child     "Silky. You there?"
12:06	Rabid_Child	"Or have you actually stepped away from the commlink for five minutes."
12:07	Silky-Seeker	"Oh hey Rabidoll! I'm right here... and step away from a comlink? are you kidding! I got one in my HEAD now"
12:08	Silky-Seeker	"Although they make me turn it off when I'm doing the physical therapy thing... and to sleep... Well they say they are making me and i useally respect them because not falling over is HARD"
12:09	Rabid_Child	"Aw. Ey, my offer still stands. I got a few training regimens which would totes fit ya. Probably."
12:09	Silky-Seeker	"Uh... I can't really... ya know... stand on my own yet... they are still working on making it so sitting up is not an effort and the other stuff"
12:09	Rabid_Child	"Aw. I'm sorry kiddo."
12:09	Rabid_Child	"Hey, you'll get there."
12:10	Silky-Seeker	"Seriously I was unable to move even my eyeballs for the last few years..."
12:10	Rabid_Child	"Jeeeeze... Wait a second."
12:10	Rabid_Child	"How did you use the commlink when you only JUST got one in your head?"
12:11	Silky-Seeker	"Girl, they have these neat things called trodes that pick up your brain activity and induce mild halucinations, and if you really get fancy you can run it in hotsim... which is like kinda overclocking your brain"
12:11	Rabid_Child	"Sounds fudged up."
12:11	Rabid_Child	"I guess I'm one to talk, though."
12:12	Silky-Seeker	"well they useally put child-locks on them... because developing brains... and you actually probably already have a set of them hooked up anyway. it's less invasive then the system they put in my gooey grey matter "
12:13	Rabid_Child	"Dude I know how the arms and the legs and stuff work, but I don't know crap about the brain stuff. Too icky."
12:13	Silky-Seeker	" well... I kinda did some research on it, so since it's finally fixed here is the tricky fish about my condition... I don't have a working motor cortex!"
12:14	Silky-Seeker	"Whole thing was kaput... they had to tell my heart to beat and breath and all that shit"
12:14	Rabid_Child	"Tell me about it. I was in an iron lung for a while."
12:14	Rabid_Child	"Well I mean technically I guess I still am."
12:15	Rabid_Child	"Whatever. Let's not go on about medical biz huh? I got important business for ya."
12:15		Silky-Seeker taps her icon's head "Yeah well this is like a tiny bit of an iron brain... And.. ah alright... I've been living with this stuff for years..."
12:16	Silky-Seeker	"hard to tell when it's too much for some folk"
12:16	Rabid_Child	"Hey, it ain't too much. I could go into my horrible physiological condition for days."
12:17	Silky-Seeker	"Oh man, tell me about it... it took me hours to figure out how my face worked"
12:17	Rabid_Child	"But honestly knowing you you probably have my medical records, birth certificate and passport already there."
12:17	Rabid_Child	"Aw... You're such a cutie."
12:18	Rabid_Child	"I think I've got the good end of the stick here! All I need to do is click the icon. []"
12:18	Silky-Seeker	"yeah... actually I think I skipped your birth certificate and passport... but otherwise ya... "
12:18	Rabid_Child	"Wham, different uncanny gross image."
12:18	Rabid_Child	"Figured."
12:18		Silky-Seeker sticks her icon's tongue "Oh I am FINE on the matrix... it's the face to face time with my parents that was SUPER awkward"
12:19		Silky-Seeker edits her icon to look kind of neanderthalish "Ugh... Me child... Grah"
12:19	Rabid_Child	"Awh.."
12:19	Rabid_Child	",What are they like? I know what it was like with my parents. Was back before I got all this custom junk. They thought I was some kinda medical drone."
12:20	Rabid_Child	"They're... All right I guess. I don't really talk to them as much as I should. Ya know."
12:20	Rabid_Child	"Parents!"
12:21	Rabid_Child	"Also I get the feeling dad'd get so messed up about how bad my polish got."
12:22	Silky-Seeker	"They were... so happy they were sad? ... I... I actually had never talked to them over the matrix before... no one knew if they could fix the fact my brain was kinda half dead
12:22	Rabid_Child	"Why didn't ya talk to them over the matrix?"
12:28	Rabid_Child	"Eh, whatever, we totally got sidetracked, though. The big reason I spoke to you was... Kind of a lot sillier than this, now that I think about it."
12:30	Silky-Seeker	"if you knew you would probably be a corpse for the rest of your life... and maybe even be more dead you already were... would you tell your parents?"
12:30		Silky-Seeker silky hums and rubs at the back of her head "Ah sorry, that was a bit morbid..."
12:31	Rabid_Child	"Mmm..."
12:32	Silky-Seeker	"They were already mourning me... I didin't want to hurt them with a daughter who was barely a ghost on the net..."
12:32	Rabid_Child	"Anyway, I'm going to transfer two horrible selfies right here, and I want your opinion on which of these would be more appropriate for a hypothetical date."
12:32	Rabid_Child	"Yeah, I get it."
12:32	Silky-Seeker	"oooh you have a date?!"
12:32	Rabid_Child	"A hypothetical one. Probably."
12:32	Silky-Seeker	"show me show me!"
12:32	Rabid_Child	"I'm not sure if it's a date yet."
12:32	Rabid_Child	"Right."
12:33	Rabid_Child	>File transfer:
12:33	Rabid_Child	File transfer:
12:33	Rabid_Child	Yeah, I know they're in totally different directions.
12:33	Rabid_Child	I can't decide. I haven't had my new torso painted yet and it clashes with the rest.
12:34	Silky-Seeker	"wow! If your still kinda iffy on it being a date by the end go with the second one... but if you get certainty that first one is adorbs gal!"
12:34	Silky-Seeker	"oh so they kinda... shaved my head down when they had to get into the skull and add bits... But I was wondering if you have a suggestion on if I should bother getting it speed grown or not?"
12:35	Rabid_Child	"Hee. Well, I'm a little worried that the seam of my leg makes it look like i'm wearing a garter or something.
12:35	Rabid_Child	Oh. Totally! Long hair is cute.
12:35	Rabid_Child	I mean, you could rock a pixie cut too.
12:35	Rabid_Child	Shrug. I ain't seen ya.
12:36	Silky-Seeker	"um... well one sec let me see if i can snag a photo from the hospital when I still had hair"
12:36	Rabid_Child	Might wanna get something low maintenance for now, though. Cutting hair is hard.
12:36	Silky-Seeker
12:37	Silky-Seeker	"ah yeah... I kinda... don't actually remember what I did with it before the whole brain failure thing"
12:37	Rabid_Child	"Man, you're pale. Anyway. What about umm.
12:38	Silky-Seeker	"I mean there are pictures of what I did and stuff... but as far as how I did it? ya know"
12:38	Rabid_Child	"I don't really know haircut names. Before I lost the capacity or inclanation to have it cut I always just got a short back and sides.
12:39	Silky-Seeker	"well... It's plenty short right now... um one sec... security cam footage is tricky"
12:39	Rabid_Child	"I mean, you could probably totally rock the whole spooky child cybergenius look."
12:39	Silky-Seeker
12:40	Silky-Seeker	"that's from a little bit after the surgery... uh ... Its more fuzz-cut right now... and the scars have really healed up thin "
12:41	Silky-Seeker	"Eh... would be kinda suspicious... like I said, my parents don't really know a thing about the whole runner thing... Hell until just this year I didin't know I'd live long enough for it to be a problem"
12:42	Rabid_Child	"What about the hottest dude ever:  "
12:42	Rabid_Child	"And this is coming from the butchest lesbian you've ever seen so you know it's p great."

12:46	Rabid_Child	"Anyway, it's up to you to decide. You know i'm a fanatic and would basically give anyone the same darn advice."
12:46	Silky-Seeker	"yeah your right, but I don't seem to have a good opinion on it... maybe a little longer... cuz... girl and all"
12:48	Rabid_Child	"Mmm. You'll work something out."
12:48	Silky-Seeker	"oh... That is neat! I think my muscles should actually be up for standing in a few more days! I wonder if I can get out of this hospital sooner... hum... or if you wanted to visit I could probably gussy you up a volunteer Physical-Therapy assistant Access"
12:49	Rabid_Child	"Yeah, all right."
12:49	Rabid_Child	"Babe you're gonna be punching out squares in no time."
12:49	Rabid_Child	"Oh that's a fair point are you gonna have to like... Go to school now?"
12:50	Silky-Seeker	"I'll write it out as your a kind of... a hum... well your already an athlete... and you had a truamatic cyberware treatment... so yeah... think you can swing playing the 'Don't worry kid it gets better' role?"
12:50	Silky-Seeker	"Oh damn! I completely forgot about school... hehehe"
12:50	Rabid_Child	"Traumatic isn't the half of it. You ain't seen me without my meds."
12:50	Silky-Seeker	"Well if they give me a test on... anything I probably can just ace it"
12:50	Rabid_Child	"By ace you mean google, right?"
12:51	Silky-Seeker	"not JUST google..."
12:51	Rabid_Child	"You know they probably have jammers in the exam hall to stop you from doing that."
12:51	Silky-Seeker	"..."
12:51	Silky-Seeker	"I have a legitimate medical condition that means my cyberware DOES need to be active..."
12:51	Rabid_Child	"Fudge if I know, I was homeschooled."
12:52	Silky-Seeker	"and come on... school jammers? I could probably snag the access code while I'm on the toilet... huh..."
12:52	Silky-Seeker	"I'm gonna have to worry about that again too... bodies are complicated"
12:52	Rabid_Child	"Tell me about it."
12:52	Silky-Seeker	"at least yours is mostly made of nice reliable metal... all I got is muscle control and headware"
12:53	Rabid_Child	"When I first got these jacks involved I kept thinking about em and accidentally triggering them. After the fifth time I jumped up in the air right out of the blue I had to manually disable them until I worked out the overrides."
12:53	Rabid_Child	"Installed* not involved."
12:54	Rabid_Child	"I mean, it was legitimately hilarious, but whatever."
12:54	Rabid_Child	"People tend to freak out when you jump five feet in the air for no reason."
12:54	Silky-Seeker	"I've been running drones around since I was ten Rabidoll... with all the... stuff that seems to be missing from my head now I think I probably know more about how to move an eighteen wheeler then my own feet"
12:55	Rabid_Child	"Why not just like ride around in an 18 wheeler forever then. Pretend you're from a family of truckers!"
12:55	Rabid_Child	"Leaving the truck is not the trucker way. You can object on religious grounds."
12:55	Silky-Seeker	"what a waste of nice young legs that would be!"
12:56	Silky-Seeker	"and yeah the physical therapy is sucky, and achey but I'm moving around and these toes I'm wiggling are mine!"
12:56	Rabid_Child	"Wish I could say the same."
12:57	Rabid_Child	"I mean about my toes not your toes. I don't want your toes."
12:57	Rabid_Child	"Uh sorry."
12:58	Silky-Seeker	"hum... ya know part of the hardware that makes my brain work right now involves full simsense recording... Like... some serious high grade resolution stuff...
12:58	Silky-Seeker	"I could PROBABLY give ya a feed and let you know what having meat is like again... aches and all"
12:58	Rabid_Child	"Maybe some other time. That sounds really weird and I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with it."
12:59	Silky-Seeker	"It's twelve year old and kinda ... in need of serious maintenence meat... but if you thought that would help///
12:59	Rabid_Child	"Mmm. I've avoided simsense, actually."
12:59	Silky-Seeker	"huh... well I have to admit I kinda indulged a lot in it on account of... not having anything I could do besides"
13:00	Rabid_Child	"Cyberware feels like I'm looking at everything at a degree of seperation."
13:00	Rabid_Child	"I'm worried in case... You know."
13:00	Rabid_Child	"Feels more real than what i've got."
13:00	Silky-Seeker	"ah... well... yeah I could see that could be uncomfortable..."
13:00	Silky-Seeker	"well I can promise you this much... it's probably so sucky being me right now you'd immediately want back into the metal?"
13:01	Silky-Seeker	"we can talk about it later... I got to get you credentials to be able to visit me while I'm still in therapy... man hospitals are way easier to crack then people make it sound like"
13:01	Rabid_Child	"Mmm."
13:02	Rabid_Child	"Let's do that."
13:03	Rabid_Child	"In the meantime, I gotta anonymously send out some messages to a certain few activist groups, and also clean all the blood out of my arms before this date."
13:03	Silky-Seeker	"My parents are being a bit... hovery/clingy so just be aware of that... they seem to not quite believe I'm actually back yet"
13:04	Rabid_Child	"Mmmm. What should I call you?"
13:04	Silky-Seeker	"oh huh... hehe... Abigail"
13:05	Rabid_Child	"Abigail. Cute name. I figure you know who I am."
13:06	Rabid_Child	"You have no idea how freaky that is, by the way. Been using a pseudo since the surgery cos I don't want to make a fuss about being so hecked up."
13:06	Silky-Seeker	"Well ya, but it's polite to ask Rabidoll, so here... Hi! I'm Abigail Temia... Who are you?"
13:07	Rabid_Child	"Jacqueline Carpenter. You know, the boxer."
13:08		Silky-Seeker blinks and shakes her head "Oh... wait... Damn it It's Ryuko ... I... okay maybe I'm a bit more messed up then I thought... I just gave you one of my alias names instead of my real one"
13:08		Silky-Seeker looks kind of sad "I'm twelve and I've already been in this so long I'm mixing up who I am with people I do trust... "
13:11	Rabid_Child	"It's all right. I figure that sorta happens in this business, if you can call it that."
13:11	Rabid_Child	"Is Ryuko the first or last name?"
13:11	Silky-Seeker	"yeah... I guess it's a blessing I was sluring like an idiot at first... that would crush my parents if I messed up what my name... It's Ryuko West Temia"
13:16	Rabid_Child	"Right."
13:17	Silky-Seeker	"am I being cold... ? I ... I can't actually tell anymore... there are bits missing"
13:19	Silky-Seeker	"Been missing really... I've been kinda faking some things..."
13:19	Rabid_Child	"I don't really know. They might get upset if they find out, though."
13:19	Silky-Seeker	"maybe... eh... I don't really know how to tell them... what do you SAY for that?"
13:19	Rabid_Child	"Lying about stuff tends to make it all the worse when you get caught outm ya know?"
13:20	Rabid_Child	"Yeah true. It's not an easy thing to break."
13:20	Silky-Seeker	"Hey Mom, Dad, while you thought I was a vegetable I was actually learning to become a world renowned shadowrunner hacker"
13:21	Silky-Seeker	"I feel like I've gotten too deep in this crap already..."
13:21	Rabid_Child	"'I'm best friends with a hot pink cyberthug, a shapeshifter, and fucking squat boy.'"
13:22	Rabid_Child	"Tell me about it. I realised the moment I found out we were working with squat boy."
13:22	Rabid_Child	"I want to jump out of this whole misguided operation. You know what Ara told me?"
13:22	Silky-Seeker	"okay I will be honest, until I met him I actually did not know or care who squat boy was... but please don't tell him that I think he will be crazy mad"
13:22	Rabid_Child	"The guy's been posting like everything up on vine."
13:23	Silky-Seeker	"he was doing... oh fuck it... he has been doing that? god... I... GRHRGRHBLZLZLZ okay new rule, you and me in meat space? never going near him"
13:24	Silky-Seeker	"Ugh! I mean... UGHA! I know he has like crazy cool hackers running counter and blackout intelligence on his shit but that is just stupid"
13:24	Rabid_Child	"Dude, of course we're not going near him. You're a kid, and I'm a /woman/."
13:24	Rabid_Child	 "Dude, of course we're not going near him. You're a kid, and I'm a /woman/."
13:25	Silky-Seeker	"okay I am really out of touch... because that was like the fifth reason I would not want to be near him"
13:25	Silky-Seeker	"living on the matrix nearly constantly in hot sim... huh... I guess you could say I'm actually closer to 18 then twelve from just raw experience"
13:26	Rabid_Child	"Oh my."
13:26	Silky-Seeker	"yeah... you guys out there are SUPER SLOW"
13:26	Rabid_Child	"Well, at least now you see why. It's all this body stuff."
13:26	Rabid_Child	"Gets in the way."
13:27	Silky-Seeker	"Yeah... it's kinda a lot to keep track of... although... tiny secret here... I slipped some extras into my surgery profile... I don't HAVE to stop running hotsim even when I'm doing meat stuff..."
13:27	Silky-Seeker	"could not give up being this fast after so long...
13:27	Rabid_Child	"Mmm."
13:28	Rabid_Child	"Doesn't overclocking like...
13:28	Rabid_Child	"Wreck computers?"
13:28	Silky-Seeker	"I got extra cooling and some other shit in here for life support... I should be fine... and um... I guess if it starts to be a problem I'll get some upgrades... "
13:29	Rabid_Child	"Slippy slope."
13:29	Rabid_Child	"Also, trust me. You're lucky you got back now, cos over the next few years the whole body jazz is gonna get hella messed up."
13:29	Silky-Seeker	"Oh man I've been reading about that... sounds hella unfun"
13:30	Silky-Seeker	"actually... I probably am gonna need extra surgery as I... grow... anyway... to maintain everything... wiring does not exactly grow on it's own"
13:30	Rabid_Child	Mhmm."
13:30	Silky-Seeker	" oh man... that is gonna suck... But good cover for any upgrades I need later"
13:31	Rabid_Child	"Yeah. You're also gonna need to excercise quite a lot too. Gotta keep the living bits up to scratch. Less in your case, but still. An unhealthy body tends to get nasty side effects."
13:32	Silky-Seeker	"yeah... I probably need a bit more sun too..."
13:32	Rabid_Child	"Sorry for slow replies, by the way. In the shower."
13:32	Rabid_Child	"Certainly. you're white as a sheet, pet."
13:32	Silky-Seeker	"... does it make you feel better I did not know that?"
13:32	Rabid_Child	"(and he also made false teeth.)"
13:33	Silky-Seeker	"Your lucky I have like thirty different data miners available to me so I can get all these archaic references you toss around "
13:34	Rabid_Child	"Everyone has one super talent, I believe. Yours is being some kind of cyberpunk superhacker like from Hackers. Mine is referencing songs from a hundred years ago.""
13:35	Rabid_Child	"John Lee's is being a super taster."
13:35	Silky-Seeker	"Hey your pretty awesome even without TMBG references... I mean they make you like awesome squared... because TMBG is pretty sweet... but awesome on your own anyway Jackie"
13:36	Rabid_Child	"Can't flatter me kid. I'm immune."
13:36	Rabid_Child	"Hmm... Is it even worth it using like perfumed polish? She told me once her sense of smell kinda sucks."
13:37	Silky-Seeker	"Um... prolly just make sure you don't reek of blood or oil or whatever? So like a de-scenter?"
13:37	Rabid_Child	"Don't worry. I'm dealing with it."
13:38	Rabid_Child	"I still feel kinda bad for that troll, but oh well. He'll be fine, I'm sure. Learned the hard way why jet engines aren't standard 'ware."
13:38	Silky-Seeker	"I might have lived like... five times faster then you for the last two years... but ... I've never actually dated anyone rabidoll"
13:39	Rabid_Child	"Aww. Don't be in a hurry, pet. Half the time they're just in it for sex, and that ain't nearly as fun as people make it out to be."
13:40		Silky-Seeker nods and sort of blushes "ah... yeah... well... I'm not gonna comment on anything for that... simsense and curiosity... heh"
13:41	Rabid_Child	"Jeeze, silky! You're twelve!"
13:42		Silky-Seeker giggles and covers her mouth "No comment! And it was only a few because I was bored... like... there is only so much matrix to browse before you come across that stuff"
13:42	Rabid_Child	"Don't make me get mutt to put on parental control, young lady!"
13:43		Silky-Seeker laughs a bit more brittle-like "Oh man... mutt... actually... that guy freaks me out a little bit... do you know what he is?"
13:43	Rabid_Child	"He's a decker like you right?"
13:44		Silky-Seeker shakes her icon's head "No, and uh no one uses decks anymore anyway... but he is nothing like me... Um He's got some magic going on for how he works stuff"
13:44	Rabid_Child	"Magic and the matrix are really confusing to me. I think they're basically the same thing."
13:45		Silky-Seeker winces "damn, actually don't mention that... to... anyone... I might have just outed him... See people are SUPER scared of people like him because he can go around the useal matrix stuff"
13:45	Rabid_Child	"Ah."
13:45	Rabid_Child	"So you're saying he's the xander to your me, right?"
13:45	Rabid_Child	"Like how xander punches stuff with magic and I uh punch stuff... with... punch. This is a bad metaphor.
13:45		Silky-Seeker hums and rubs the back of his head "less getting almost brain-dazzled but ya"
13:46	Silky-Seeker	"that is pretty close... I got my gung-ho attitude and my tools... you got your skill and cyberware... mutt, has stuff I don't even know how to follow... half the time it's completely invisible.
13:47	Rabid_Child	"That's weird."
13:47	Silky-Seeker	"ya and people get scared and violent around wierdness, so don't tell him or anyone I said this... because he could get really badly hurt if the wrong folk hear what he is"
13:47	Rabid_Child	"Right."
13:48		Silky-Seeker scowls a bit "I shoulden't have said anything at all... I forgot you coulden't tell"
13:49	Rabid_Child	"Eh. I don't care. You're both weird hacker chicks to me, just he looks a lot like steve buscemi and isn't as sweet."
13:50	Silky-Seeker	"my personality is one of my best gifts!"
13:50	Silky-Seeker	"anyway.... I think they are gonna need me to settle back down and lower the network traffic... and I could use the rest... was a big day"
13:51	Rabid_Child	"Same."
13:51	Rabid_Child	"I'll keep you posted on the date situation."
13:51	Rabid_Child	"Hehehe."
13:52	Silky-Seeker	"don't overshare gal... remember... I'm Twelve!"
13:52		Silky-Seeker blows a silly raspberry
13:52	Rabid_Child	"Pf. Like that's ever gonna happen."
13:53		Rabid_Child changes her icon to a []
13:53		Silky-Seeker finishes with "I'll give ya an apointment for one of my physical therapy sessions in a bit"
13:53		Silky-Seeker disconnects
