Nope.

But hey, awesome for you finding out new applications for ectoplasm. Which evidently some people think is a funny name, but liminal goo is equally ridiculous, so whatever.

[Thorne is not bitter at all.]

Well, had to stop the poacher asshole from running somehow.

You okay?

When you have a sec, you'll really need to explain how you did it for me.

[private x2 protected]

Yeah. Sort of. Ugh. Maybe not completely, but mostly I'm just pissed off at Sonic Screwdriver Dude for being a shithead. But I mean, considering some of the shit I backread--backthought?--on the network, maybe I shouldn't have expected anything else.

You know where to find me.

[private, now double protected]

Sonic what? What even happened?

Okay. So. I ran into this guy looking for some machine that the Arcana are using to feed liminal space directly into our brains or whatever. I figured that it would suck for him if he spent the entire time between Jaunts looking for for a nonexistent machine, so I told him that shit didn't work that way. And he was all "Language!" at me so I said that wasn't how stuff worked. And he was all 'Are you an Arcanum? How do you know?' And okay, I might have dunked on the sonic screwdriver thing he was waving around as a metal detector, but in my defense it really did look like a scary vibrator. So he called me a 'pudding-brained primitive'--seriously--and accused me of not being able to think for myself and I was like, dude, I'm the person who figured out the base matter of liminal space, and he asked me if I'd been peer reviewed and all that shit and I said no, because it's pretty fucking hard to get peer reviewed in liminal space, but I gave him a really quick summing up about how I discovered it and he went on this whole long rant about how I'm basically stupid and a bad scientist and all that shit. And then he laughed at me.

And, like, I know he's probably just a nasty old man who doesn't think people who look like me are worth the fucking time of day, but it still stings, you know? This is my field and he's just some pendejo who uses soundwaves to unscrew things.

Asshole.

See, I woulda just told him shit doesn't work that way in another language. Think my English is good enough to pull it off. How the fuck's he expect anyone to do a goddamn peer review around here, anyway?

I don't think that would have worked. I'm pretty sure he was English. Well, British. He kind of sounded vaguely Scot-- Wait, no, fuck it, he was English. [Petty Thorne is petty.]

And yeah, no, I don't get it either. I think maybe he was setting up standards he knew I'd probably fail. He was that kind of asshat.

Yeah, well, Mitsuru and Aki are the ones who took French. I only have the two options. [Unless something weird sticks around from a jaunt or something.]

Then let him waste his time lookin' for a machine that ain't there. Clearly he won't be happy any other way.

Yeah. He deserves to waste his fucking time.

Still got some stories about other assholes I need to tell you, if you want a distraction. Or the goo wall thing, since you weren't there for it.

Both are good.

Well, like I said earlier, you know where to find me. Any food requests?

Katsu curry. Chicken katsu curry. [Like they'd make at Over The Bridge in Japantown... well, not that Shinji would have ever have eaten there, but honestly, it's Shinji and his is probably even better. The point is, it's a special treat for her.] And something chocolate for dessert.

Got it. Come on over whenever.

Will do.
