9. [Video]

[Kon's on screen looking a little tired and maybe a little embarrassed, which he isn't hiding very well either.]

I feel like I'm on the worlds biggest come down and it sucks some major ass. That was not my best moment in time. [Someone has stupidly gone back and looked at the post with Bart and possibly shrieked in horror. Or died under the desk. Kon takes a moment.]

So, what else is gonna happen? Crazy adventures with no powers? Check. Jailtime? Check. Getting high as a kite on fuzzballs? Check. I'm running outta ideas, I've almost done it all.

Okay, so we know to keep me away from those things, so far so good.

Also, anyone good at fixing doors and tables? I kinda broke mine when I freaked out before. I'll pay. And no BC, sorry, our skills combined aren't that good, I'd like to have stuff on the table and not have it collapse.

[Bart might as well move into one of these places, because he's not going back to his own console.]

How broke is broke?

[video;]

[tactile_telekinesis]

[He doesn't blame you and is happy to be in the Wood Sector right now.]

Uuuhm [He looks over the to side, out of sight from the camera and shrugs.]

The table would make a good jigsaw, 'cept I dunno where all the pieces are cause of the whole...tactile telekinesis thing flaring out after you told me that thing. [About that guy.] and uh, the door is sort of hanging on one hinge in three bits with a crack in one.

Thankfully not the door to the actual suit though.

[video;]

[backinakidflash]

[Bart makes a face at this. Kon. What did you do?]

OK. I'm great at jigsaw puzzles so. I dunno how to get it to STAY put together, but I could definitely figure out which piece goes where. I don't think glues gonna cut it.

The door might be in less pieces, but it's still gonna be tough to repair and keep it from being unbalanced on the hinges. I think you need a wizard.

[video;]

[tactile_telekinesis]

[He reaches up to rub the back of his neck. Uuh, whoops.]

Well, I kinda need it to stay together, but I guess knowing where all the bits go is kinda helpful.

[Head is firmly in his hands.]

Ugh man, this sucks. It felt good at the time, y'know.

[video;]

[backinakidflash]

Find a way to get it to stick together and a really good pair of tweezers for afterwards, and I'll help. There are wizards lying around, you know.

[Bart smiles a little.]

Yeah. Believe me. I get it. Kinda surprised you stopped at two. I had to do a few laps. Few dozen.

[alpha_squad_leader]

If I knew what made those fuzzballs so afraid of me, I'd let you in on the secret.

I can help with your door and table problem though. How badly broken are they?

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

I'd hire you to go in front of me so they just get lost.

Really? The tables kinda screwed up and in bits, got someone who said they could get all the pieces though and the door is...uh [He glances over.] It's pretty bad and only has one hinge still attached.

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

They don't really run from me so much as turn into tiny furry car alarms.

[He blinks a moment, resisting the urge to facepalm.] Okay, that sounds less like it's time to fix them and more like it's time to get a new one. Luckily, I can build new ones too.

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

Well either way it freaks them out so it works.

Dude, I don't have the money to get new ones.

[langsyne]

You been a girl yet?

[That sounds like a good thing to have on a checklist.]

video.

[tactile_telekinesis]

I'm kinda hoping that it stays a no.

[No but there's a version of him that is a girl? She's pretty bad ass.]

video.

[langsyne]

[Scott hasn't met her yet, woe.]

But it's classic checklist material. Plus I thought every teenage boy wanted to know what it's like to be a girl.

video.

[tactile_telekinesis]

No way man, happy being a dude. If it hasn't happened during my time at CADMUS chances are good it's not gonna happen elsewhere.

Plus I've seen how girls are. No thanks.

[urbanmagic]

You forgot the bodyjumping incident. [She sounds sympathetic at least.] I'm glad you're back to normal. With these furballs running about, you'd probably have to hide just a little bit longer.

video;

[tactile_telekinesis]

Didn't want to bombard people with everything. Shame to make them think I had all the fun! [He is grinning though.]

Thanks, planning on staying here and flying places.

video;

[urbanmagic]

Can't have that, then they might start looking for their own adventures. [Flying places?] Completely opposite plans, aren't they?

video;

[tactile_telekinesis]

Nope, all mine. Mine, mine, mine. [He pffft's] I mean if I need food or whatever, I'll fly there and back. Need to visit a friend who can't get to me? I'll fly over and back.

video: backdated a few days!

[ihope]

[Oh, he'd seen that video post too, unfortunately for Kon. Even more so unfortunate is that he felt drawn to the boy, some pleasant sympathy for him. Despite what he learned-- it wasn't great to see others broadcast their low points. Hell, there's even the smallest hint of worry to lace his nonchalant suggestion to follow.]

I don't know. You could always try getting a ridiculous haircut.

[Jail time? Really, Kon? But powers... what powers?]

Are you okay?

video:

[tactile_telekinesis]

[Sorry, Kon sees the reply as soon as it comes in but he takes a while to respond. He's thinking on how to play this. He knows what the others will say, he knows exactly how he feels. Sick. But Lex is young and won't have a clue he hopes so...he replies a while later with a smile, effortless but not exactly ringing true in any humour or amusement.]

That's funny.

[Any more hair off and he might as well be like Lex.

Oh yeah, didn't you know? He's a total rebel.

Ugh, he had to think about that question before he replied as well and the smile falls.]

I've been better, not gonna lie. Been slammed with a lot of real bad stuff recently and not had time to recover.

[He doesn't want to come across as rude either, if he did, he just wouldn't have replied to Lex. He's still angry at finding out that's who he was because he'd had such a normal conversation as well which had torn how he felt and such.]

video:

[ihope]

[Yeah, it's a riot, isn't it? Lex is no dummy, he can read the boy like a book right now. He's also not the best to offer condolences that sound as heartfelt as they ought to be.]

It's my experience that purposefully destroying furniture after a bad day only drastically reduces the well sought after recovery time you'll wish for later. [It's some off handed way to ask if Kon's hurt, though Lex won't think anything of it if/when it goes unacknowledged. He wants to know what classifies as a 'bad day' and 'real bad stuff' in a Kryptonian's mind-- but that's for another day. Second meetings should be much less personal.]

[He clicks his tongue. Wonders what else he could say.]

I'd get the door fixed first. Privacy matters.

video:

[tactile_telekinesis]

[He looks back at some of the destruction and frowns before he's back to looking at Lex and smiles slightly, touching the back of his neck. That was a good point and really, at the time he hadn't even thought about what it would be like when he had calmed down a little. His hand drops to the arm of the chair and he shrugs one shoulder. He wasn't hurt, but Kon hadn't quite picked up on the hidden question so there's not much chance he's going to answer it.

Though he does manage to laugh at the door comment.]

Yeah, probably. Gotta say though, I'm lucky it ain't the front door. So it's uh, it's not so bad.

[There's probably a small cluster of smaller trees that have seen the worse in him.]

But yeah, gonna get it fixed as quick as I can. I like having more than one table. Makes the floor look less like a complete mess if I can shove stuff on the tables.

[crotcharrow]

How's your speed? Kinda got a delivery thing going, and I bet chicks would pay double if you took off your shirt and gave them a package.

[He laughs.]

video

[tactile_telekinesis]

[The more he hears Tommy, the more his smile grows at the end and he laughs as well.]

Aw yeah, totally. My speed? It's not as fast as Superman, but I'm still pretty fast. Got a spot open?

video;

[crotcharrow]

[Oh good, getting him to laugh was on his agenda. He grins grins right back.]

Got a buttload of spots open. No work, but hey. It's something to do. I guess we could have a slow cheaper service.

[tactile_telekinesis]

Ooh, ouch. So not cool.
