Well, I would hardly claim this is my favoured method of passing time, but there’s no use protesting. Sometimes we need to knuckle down and ensure the work is done. Because as you can see for yourself, sometimes the work is dull.

In any case, I am offering everyone a pleasant extra-curricular activity to pass the time.

Try responding to this post with the first word that comes to mind. Respond to words posted by others with other words that come to mind. I am more than aware such games are not for everybody, but perhaps you should give it a shot.

Ah, I suppose I should get us started:

Police.

As in, somebody call the police because this is Hell.

What are police?

[restingstitchface]

[Hmn. Curious.]

Law enforcement. One group of people afforded power over others. Or, depending on who you ask, and this is not me approving the term, "pigs".

[futuremessiah]

Like Sentinels?

[restingstitchface]

Sentinels?

Hmn. I suppose that counts for an answer, too, doesn't it?

[futuremessiah]

giant robots that hunt mutants
because some people don't like the idea of us

[restingstitchface]

[Interesting.]

I cannot say we have mutants where I come from. My understanding of the word is more definitional.

Are you comfortable speaking about this?

[futuremessiah]

not like we’re a secret at home

[restingstitchface]

Of course. Then perhaps you might explain mutants as you understand them?

[futuremessiah]

people born with an X-gene

it causes different affects
some people get physical changes while others get powers

depending on who you talk to it makes us better or worse than humans

[restingstitchface]

[Genetics. Interesting.

Sharing facts on the network? Fascinating.]

Well, forgive the observation, but that behaviour is not limited to your people. Humanity has always found a way to differentiate, categorise and exclude those who don't fit the mold. Perhaps it's the evolution of your genetics that means your people are naturally capable of the same.

Or maybe it's something more...

[futuremessiah]

homo superior rather than homo sapien

and I know there are good and bad among all people

[restingstitchface]

Of course. Forgive me for waffling on.

Would you like to suggest a word for the game?

[Not a nice thought that she thought of Emma Frost, especially since Emma is a true blonde, but whatever.]

[restingstitchface]

Chocolate.

[A strange word. But sometimes one craves the sweetness of a particular response.]
