Okay, so. In the public interest.

[x_monet]

I heard rumors that Amanda's powers have just gotten kind of strange. I was also talking to the Stepford Cuckoos just now and they had some very interesting things to tell me.

Which is why I have to do this.

Amanda, is this going to end up like the time you started doing some really old witch and ended up eating people from the Medlab? Because, seriously, you've been there, done that and probably have the teeshirt. So, if you are on an eating people and fucking old ladies jag, maybe try not eating people from the mansion and go for homeless people, or prostitutes or kids from the primary school down in Salem Centre or people from old peoples' homes. You know, people that no-one is going to miss.

Because it's wrong to eat people you used to live with or your workmates.

I'm not eating people! Yeah, I've gotten a power boost lately and we're looking into it, but there's no vampire witches and no eating people! Selene's at the bottom of Jamaica Bay in a big concrete box, last I saw.

...and I think I'll get Strange to check that to be sure.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I do hope you're planning on being nice and open on documenting the reason behind this 'mysterious power boost' of yours. Given that we've no reason to trust you when you plead ignorance.

[xp_daytripper]

As soon as we work it out, someone not me will let you know. Right now, it looks like I've been set up, but we don't know who by, or why.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I think that's fair.

[x-gambit.livejournal.com]

That's enough.

Amanda can explain herself to anyone she feels needs to know. Anyone else can find something better to gossip about.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask, considering the history. No one has suggested that perhaps she shouldn't be welcome at the mansion until this is sorted out or is condemning her without evidence. But questions should be asked.

I'd expect the same if I started sporting a tacky silver choker again.

[x-gambit.livejournal.com]

Except for the point where you state that you have no reason to trust her. I have a slightly different view, and lots of reasons to trust her. In fact, she's given a lot more reasons to trust her then some of your teachers.

So back off.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I don't have any reason to trust her. And lots of reasons not to, particularly in the area of rapid power gains.

She promised that we'd get an explanation. I'm willing to wait.

[x-gambit.livejournal.com]

Not like any of you cared the first time. Except to attack her for saving my life. I doubt she trusts you, and with good reason.

None of you deserve an explanation from someone you've made it clear you couldn't care less about.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

When she saved your life after I nearly killed you, let's be accurate.

It was the method, not the result that I quibble with.

[x-gambit.livejournal.com]

And I couldn't give a damn. Whatever Amanda may or may not be going through is her business, and her choice to reveal it to whomever. You don't have the right to make any demands what so ever. And especially no reason to twist the 'trust' issue like a knife, especially when you know that's exactly what is going to hurt her the most.

So back the fuck off, or bring it through me.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I really doubt that Amanda is shocked that I don't trust her. It will be a terrible blow to our wonderful and close friendship.

I won't "bring it through you". It has nothing to do with you. She's a big girl. What I am through with is discussing this with you.

[x-m.livejournal.com]

So not with the eating people thing? This is good, because you can catch all sorts of things from them if you don't cook them properly. Although this does mean that my little brother is the only one eating people. Except possibly for that Sarah girl. It also means you don't have to find people no-one will miss.

Selene's at the bottom of the ocean? Good. Keep an eye out for other nutters like her, though?

[x-marrow.livejournal.com]

I only do that if they ask really, really nicely.

[x-m.livejournal.com]

Well... *raises eyebrow* What are you doing next Friday night?

[x-marrow.livejournal.com]

...And you are definitely not my type.

[x-m.livejournal.com]

Such a shame.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Oh, is that what they are saying? I believe it is time for the girls and I to have a little talk about fact checking research.

[x-m.livejournal.com]

You know, this is why I hate people with strong telepathy. You just can't tell when they're lying, the bastards. They're going to pay for this.

You just don't give me fake gossip. It's not on. I like the real stuff better.

[x-gambit.livejournal.com]

She did it to save my life. And since you don't have the slightest clue what her powers involve, and neither do the small, blonde, ignorant and arrogent blonde twits at the school, maybe you should spend more time doing whatever the hell you do, and less gossiping about other people, neh?

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank you, Remy. She doesn't know what Amanda does, and you don't know what she does. How about you deal with your staff problems and leave school discipline to us.

[x-m.livejournal.com]

Oh, mmhmmmermermer. You need to pull the stick out of your arse, mate, with your whole I'm so cool because I've got sunglasses and make shit explode thing.

Besides, I think I've got a right to ask, all things considered. At least this way I know she's not going to go all vampire goth girl on me.

So there.

You know, there are certain things I had hoped never to have a mental image of, or to really ever _have_ to imagine. Amanda getting down and dirty with some old woman was one of those things.

Can we _please_, _please_ promise never to discuss the sex lives of those older then us ever again? Those of us who don't want to have to spend therapy time with Dr Samson explaining why we feel the abject urge to run screaming from the room the moment sex and old people are mentioned would be grateful.

[xp_daytripper]

Um, just for the sake of clarity and my own brain? I didn't 'get down and dirty' with any old women, least of all Selene. *shudders* A world of no.

[x-m.livejournal.com]

Oh, the innocence. How old are you, anyway, love?

Because, honestly, there are some people older than me whose sex lives are very interesting. Mostly because they're kinda hot.

You'll understand when you're older.

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

16, 17 this year though. You do know that telling someone they'll understand when they're older is a sure sign that you've become one of those sort of adults, right? The kind that always assumes anyone a couple of years younger then themselves couldn't possibly have any sort of wisdom or knowledge that they don't.

[x-m.livejournal.com]

Dude. I'm just teasing you. I'm sorry, look, how about I take you out for a coffee to make up for it? The computer doesn't do the voices or anything like that, so it's a bit hard to tell when I"m teasing and when I'm not.

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

Thank God for that. The mental image was not at all pleasant, I assure you.

[xp_daytripper]

Don't get me wrong, Selene was hot in a creepy psychic vampire kind of way - she definitely didn't look her age - but just... no. Even back in the day when I wasn't exactly picky, just so much no there.
