( from here. )

I can guess. What kind of deal are twelve year olds making, Christ.

You been here long?

[nastypieceofwork]

Likely something dramatic that surely seems the end of the world to them. I remember being that age.

Just this week. You?

[nastypieceofwork]

[ From here. ]

It is every one of those things including being more serious than that.

[orthogonal]

I'll be honest - I have met a great many men my mother wouldn't want me near -- but what makes you worse?

We can save this until after we finish the other thread if you want, I just... didn't want to forget

Don't take this the wrong way, but Christ, thank god someone else here is over 30.

Though I suppose given the way the offer is framed, I might be less surprised.

[nastypieceofwork]

I'm very likely to get you killed for being mixed up with me.

nah, it's cool, it's cool

[nastypieceofwork]

How do you mean?

[stillcounts]

In a given group of people who are willing to put their lives on hold and have intimate contact with strangers in exchange for a boon, I can't be shocked when the 18-22 demographic is overrepresented relative to the rest of the population.

[orthogonal]

... I helped develop giant robots to fight inter dimensional space aliens. I could get killed by mixing with me.

[nastypieceofwork]

Truer words and all that.

Makes you wonder what they asked for in return.

[nastypieceofwork]

But likely not also condemned to either Hell or an eternity walking the earth, when killed, yeah?

[orthogonal]

I have been often cursed to Hell, but no. I do not think I would literally go there.

So what does someone have to do, to have that hanging over their heads? And I apologize for my bluntness -- but now you have my intellectual curiosity going.

[stillcounts]

I remember being 18. Almost certainly most of them should have held out for more.

[nastypieceofwork]

I'm a nasty piece of work, mate. I've crossed enough powerful demons and lords of hell that associating with me can often get you wrecked or killed as a means of getting to me.

[nastypieceofwork]

I'm sure of it. But you remember how it was, everything was so dramatic and so important and the end of the world blah blah

[orthogonal]

So ... getting together with you is like jumping out of an airplane without knowing if you have a parachute. How are you going to find sexual partners? Daredevils?

[rhyfelgri]

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth?

Bout the same. It's a trip.

[stillcounts]

I do, in fact. Not an age I particularly miss, I confess, but I suppose we all get through it.

Then again, I'm here, and I suppose it's always possible I should have held out for more too. Who knows.

[nastypieceofwork]

Fellow adrenaline junkies like me, yeah, that's a good start. People who like a serious thrill.

[nastypieceofwork]

Tsk. Don't be rude.

Arthurian times.

About sums it up, yeah.

[nastypieceofwork]

Which raises the tantalizing question: what did you ask for?

[orthogonal]

Well, then you really should have said Checkmark to Newton Geisler then. Although sometimes ... sometimes I like going completely out of the box.

[nastypieceofwork]

I'll look him up as well sometime.

Do you? What box is that, then? I like to know what I'm dealing with.

[orthogonal]

Yes, well, most do.

I helped design the software for gigantic metal robots, that were controlled by one's thoughts ... and was willing going to connect myself to one. It was a risk worth taking - and it is what lost me full use of my leg.

[nastypieceofwork]

Ah. So danger, and risk, aren't entirely alien concepts to you. Not things you shy away from.
