<Greene>: [I retuuuuuuurn]
<Greene>: [and itbegins]
<Greene>: [care to start us off?]
<HabeusKaiju>: oh]
HabeusKaiju is asleep in his office
<HabeusKaiju>: What a robust intro, eh?]
Wrong_Way is asleep in his office]
<Greene>: [>rob-ust]
<Greene>: Hab wakes up to the sound of clumsy footsteps down the hall from rather loud shoes
<HabeusKaiju>: Huh?
<HabeusKaiju>: Wonder who that is...
Greene knocks on the door, his usual stealth completely blown
<HabeusKaiju>: Come in!
Greene opens the door and wanders in before plopping down on the seat
<Greene>: "Hey, Theo"
<HabeusKaiju>: Hey Rob, what's up?
<Greene>: "Well... the school says I have to do one of these psychological checkups again, along with Bella catching me trying to sneak away from it"
<HabeusKaiju>: Ha, Bella Caught you? How'd she do that, tracking device?
<Greene>: "You, uh, hear what happened? I don't think it spread beyond a few people, still just the day after"
<Greene>: "Well... no. She tracked me down"
<HabeusKaiju>: Also, Something new with you? You cut your hair or something? you seem-
<HabeusKaiju>: She tracked you down?
<Greene>: "Yeah..."
<HabeusKaiju>: How?
<HabeusKaiju>: She develop new powers?
<Greene>: "No, no. There was a mission the other day, had to stop a bank robbery by some mutant"
<HabeusKaiju>: Okay...
<Greene>: "It was a trap, the guy was a nutcase with some kind of power manipulation powers"
<Greene>: "I nearly took him down with a sneak attack, then, well, he grabbed me"
<Greene>: "...I'm not a mutant anymore"
<HabeusKaiju>: ...
<HabeusKaiju>: What?
<Greene>: "He tore it from me, my powers"
<HabeusKaiju>: Jesus
<HabeusKaiju>: Did it hurt?
<Greene>: "It was honestly the worst pain I've ever felt in my entire life. Last night I couldn't sleep, kept having nightmares about it"
<Greene>: "It was traumatic, to say the least"
Greene pauses a second in silence
HabeusKaiju opens his drawer
<HabeusKaiju>: You wanna hug something?
<Greene>: "I already got someone for that, so I'll pass, thank you"
<Greene>: "Just... a lot to think about. The shock is still a bit there, got me on edge. Then there's all this talk of my powers being gone"
<HabeusKaiju>: Dude, I am like, mega sorry about this. Do you feel vulnerable right now?
<Greene>: "Yeah, but really I could best say exposed. Its just weird for me. I make noise, I have a scent, people notice me, people /like/ me."
<Greene>: "Its been 10 years, Hab. I have no clue what I'm doing right now"
<Sol>: hey hab?]
<HabeusKaiju>: yea Sol?]
<Greene>: [heya sol]
<Sol>: whats up
<Sol>: ?]
<HabeusKaiju>: nm]
<Greene>: [an arpee]
<HabeusKaiju>: rob's saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad]
<Greene>: [I ain't saaaaaaad, just out of my element is all]
<Sol>: hab arent you abducyted?]
<HabeusKaiju>: oh]
<Greene>: [also trauma from the worst pain in ever]
<Wrong_Way>: [MAYBE]
<Greene>: [this is /after/ that I assume]
<HabeusKaiju>: shit, he is right[
<Wrong_Way>: [SHAPESHIFTER!]
<HabeusKaiju>: we doing that after this?]
<Greene>: [different place in the timeline]
<HabeusKaiju>: gotcha]
<Wrong_Way>: [yeah. we still need to do spider-crab island]
<Sol>: habbot]
<Sol>: its a robot hab, put there by crab. I was gonna say that in the rp anyway]
<Wrong_Way>: [life model decoy]
<Greene>: [neat]
<Wrong_Way>: [mark bot comes in and steals all the candy before throwing himself out the window]
<HabeusKaiju>: Rob, please, call me Theo. I know it's a bit scary, but, you got friends, and a loving wife by your side. They'll be there to help you every step of the way.
<Sol>: ww, and whoever else was abducted is also a robot]
<HabeusKaiju>: I know it's strange, but, maybe it might be a bit good on ya that you aren't auto-hated right off the bat now
<Greene>: "I know, I know. Just feels alien to me"
<HabeusKaiju>: I mean, back when we first met, I wanted to punch you in the face
<Greene>: "I get that a lot, really"
<HabeusKaiju>: So, no more people wanting to do that!
<HabeusKaiju>: Yay~
<Greene>: "It's... good? I need to get used to it"
<Greene>: "I am used to ignoring people outright as they'd just spew an insult, but now that never happens"
<HabeusKaiju>: Well, it's just a new change in your life, and, you're still Rob at the end of the day, right?
<Greene>: "Yeah. I got that"
<Greene>: "Losing being silent is gonna take a while to figure out. I mean hell I probably woke you up walking over here"
<HabeusKaiju>: Ya sort of have heavier feet than me, man
<Greene>: "Years of not having to care have made me a sloppy walker"
<Greene>: "Old habits die hard"
<HabeusKaiju>: Yea, I gotcha
<Greene>: "Well" he perks up a little bit "there's good sides to this"
<Greene>: "I mean, no more unlovability"
<HabeusKaiju>: Woo!
HabeusKaiju raises a hand for high five
<HabeusKaiju>: Tubular!
Greene high fives, internally questioning the use of "tubular"
<Greene>: "No more leaving Bella to run the front of the shop. No more having to have her do most of the shopping as well"
<HabeusKaiju>: You did most of her shopping?
<HabeusKaiju>: Oh, sorry
<HabeusKaiju>: Bad hearing
<HabeusKaiju>: Blargh
<HabeusKaiju>: Go on
<Greene>: "You should get that checked out man"
<HabeusKaiju>: Eh, it's fine, I'm here for you right now
<Greene>: "The implications of no longer being a mutant are, stop me if I sound insulting, a bit exciting"
<HabeusKaiju>: Oh, none taken
<Greene>: "I mean, no more mutie insults. Don't have to feel like a freak whenever I'm outside the school"
<HabeusKaiju>: Yea, I can see how that might be fun
<Greene>: "Feels... normal? Would that be a word for it?"
<HabeusKaiju>: If that's how ya feel, that's how ya feel
<Greene>: "I mean hell, the doc says my body has reached a peak condition now that it isn't supporting powers. If I ever have kids I don't have to worry about them being cursed with everyone hating them or getting lost and never found. I feel like a human."
<Greene>: "I don't feel cold anymore!"
<HabeusKaiju>: Good for you!
<Greene>: "The constant chill of tracking evasion, part of why I have the scarf, is gone"
<Greene>: "Now that I think about this, it's great"
<Greene>: "I can trust strangers. Get some of my art out there and recognized."
<HabeusKaiju>: Well, glad ya feel like that
<HabeusKaiju>: And good, do some art, that can get your mind off it!
<Greene>: "The shock and trauma from losing the powers is gonna take a while, but besides that I feel wonderful"
<HabeusKaiju>: You seem great, man!
<Greene>: "Like, seriously, its only been a day and dr bob, who usually hates me, says that my body is already strengthening from no longer having the burden"
<Greene>: "I wanna test it, c'mon Theo, arm wrestle" he puts his arm on the desk
Greene seems to be ecstatic
<HabeusKaiju>: Erm, okay, but, I am pretty strong man...
HabeusKaiju slams his elbow into the desk
<Greene>: "Try me. I feel like a million bucks right now"
<HabeusKaiju>: BUT IT'S ON!
<Wrong_Way>: [someone's arm is going to fall off]
<Maw>: [joke's on you ww, both arms are gonna fall off]
<Maw>: [I'll call innocent in the meantime]
Greene grips Theo's hand rather tightly with a grip like a gator's mouth
HabeusKaiju starts off with a loose grip, and slowly squeezes harder and harder
<Greene>: [jokes on you, the rest of us will fall off but the arms will be locked in eternal struggle]
<Greene>: "You ready?"
<HabeusKaiju>: Ready!
<HabeusKaiju>: 3
<HabeusKaiju>: 2
<HabeusKaiju>: 1
<HabeusKaiju>: GO!
<Maw>: http://www.ask.com/question/what-is-the-bite-pressure-of-an-alligator >Greene is crushing Hab's hand with 2k lbs of force right now]
<Wrong_Way>: [hab yawns with other hand, unmoved]
HabeusKaiju stares at Greene
<HabeusKaiju>: Ya gonna go?
<Maw>: [nevermind, more like 8k lbs per square inch http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/03/120315-crocodiles-bite-force-erickson-science-plos-one-strongest/ ]
Greene waits for hab to start, figures he won't, then immediately pushes down against hab's hand with a immense strength you wouldn't expect from a man who's previous battle record can best be described as 0 - 9999
HabeusKaiju struggles a bit, as he tries to force Greene's hand down
<Maw>: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/03/020328073615.htm actually more like the force of a small truck]
Greene keeps his hand steady and pushing, never letting his own hand falter back as he tries to force harder
<Maw>: [greene is as stronk as they come now]
HabeusKaiju starts shaking, as his hand remains stationary
Greene is pushing to his very limit, shaking and gritting his teeth against the kaiju strength of theo
<Maw>: [wait, the 8k measurement of the 2nd link is about quadruple the weight of the small truck described in the 3rd link]
<Maw>: [greene can left 4 small trucks with the strength of his grip, alone]
<HabeusKaiju>: EUUUUUUUUURGH
<Greene>: "JUUUUUUUST A BIIIIIT MORE"
Greene is nearly at the end of his rope, pushing as hard as he can with all his strength
HabeusKaiju wrist starts to bend, as the desk begins to crack
<HabeusKaiju>: OWOWOWOWOWO! STOP! STOP!
Greene lets go quickly, falling back from the recoil
<Greene>: "AWCRIPES"
HabeusKaiju rubs his wrist, as he lifts up his arm
<HabeusKaiju>: Aw
<HabeusKaiju>: Sonuvabitch
Greene 's entire arm is sore
<Greene>: "Ooooooowthat'sgoingtohurtinthemorning"
HabeusKaiju looks at the elbow spike-sized hole in his desk
<HabeusKaiju>: ....
<Greene>: "...."
<HabeusKaiju>: I completely forgot I had these...
<Greene>: "...that wasn't smart of me to start that was it"
<HabeusKaiju>: Hey, you're not the one that made the hole
<Greene>: "I'll pay for the damages, my fault"
<HabeusKaiju>: Aw dude, it's fine
<HabeusKaiju>: I wanted a new desk for a while, and, I got the money for it
*** Sol_shower is now known as Sol
<Greene>: [oh yeah, lodsemone]
