Alright long post posted. I am praying its not too confusing with the names and who's talking. If it is I'll rewrite it later, but otherwise I'm fairly proud of it. I do believe it is a thing.
Plus hopefully it doesn't cause a huge disruption in the chaos. I am looking forward to making the post of him coming back all smiles and seeing their HQ on fire...

Meanwhile elsewhere...
Luke quietly left the theater, flipping his coat up onto his shoulder as he held it with an index finger. The night seemed quiet and uneventful, so hearing about a classical symphony performance Luke got a private balcony seat. The show itself was quite good, a great run of classic pieces. None of that stuck with him though, it was the others in attendance. When the conductor mentioned him being in attendance during the show there was a little polite applause, but the muffled giggles, the condescending smiles at him, the stupid freak failure of a hero. It ruined any enjoyment he had as he sunk into his seat somewhat and hoped people forgot he was there. Fiddling with the gray tie on his white dress shirt Luke sighed, wondering if he should go back to base or maybe stroll around the city, try to find something either entertaining or heroic he could do.
As Luke walked down the busy nightlife filled streets of Star City, past the recently finished statue honoring Green Arrow, hearing an occasional heckle at him that stung him deep. He finally turned a corner, his head down but tilted enough that out of the corner of his eye. He saw someone moving with something large in tow. It looked suspicious and for someone who was a hero needing to escape the public eye for a moment, it was perfect. Looking around quickly Luke slipped on the orange tinted shades that were in his coat pocket. Though he had his uniform on under his nice dress clothes. He couldn't decide where to change without looking like someone the police should have a word with. Finding nearby but horrifyingly disgusting dumpsters Luke groaned deep but got low behind them. VERY carefully getting his nice dress clothes off and making sure his hero costume was on right. He realized he didn't have anywhere to hold his dress clothes, so quickly he improvised, finding a relatively clean fast food paper bag and stuffing them in. Tucking them behind the dumpster and silently praying to Jesus, Buddha, and even Allah that they'll be there when he gets back.
It was feeling like some weird game, whoever this burglar was, they had to know he was following them as they'd seemingly wait for him to get close enough to see, then scurry off to some other location. Finally Luke was able to track the possible criminal down to some small abandoned business that was boarded up. Not seeing an easy way in Luke carefully used an opening in one of the boarded up windows to snake his body in. When he reformed Luke glanced around what looked like an old convenience store. Though by now all that was left were a few shelves and a red chair resting near one of the walls. Carefully Luke stepped through the area, trying to keep his head on a metaphorical and literal swivel as it rotated in place on him. “Hello? Anyone here?” Luke cautiously asked aloud stopping for a moment. He didn't see anyone but when he turned away and back again he swore the chair moved. He paused, looking at It in confusion before looking away again to suddenly feel something tightly wrapping around him like a snake.
“Buddy! We need to talk for a moment about your entrance planning...” Luke suddenly heard behind him as he realized the chair had moved and was now coiling around him like a snake, leaving him too frightened and borderline paralyzed to move. “You just don't go into suspicious places and call out like that. Don't you realize bad things happen when people do that? Haven't you ever watched a horror film... well no... no you clearly haven't.” Finally Luke turned and the face stretched around right near his had white goggles, a razor sharp chin, and grinned at him all the while. “Hey.” He responded. Luke responded back by screaming.
“Hey man watch the decibels will ya?” Another voice and it led to Luke suddenly having his mouth wrapped in a more flesh colored tone. “Luke where is your costume? I thought we agreed we'd be in costume for this?!” Luke suddenly and finally realized what was going on, right now... Plastic Man had him trapped. The actual Plastic Man... Plastic Man number one.
Confused what Plastic Man was talking about Luke himself was going to say something when he both realized he was still being gagged and another guy came into the scene. His arm outstretched and the source of Luke's silencing. Unlike his dad though was only in jeans, and a t-shirt that said 'Touch My Awesome Button'. “Sorry dad I told you I can't find it.” He awkwardly muttered shrugging with his other shoulder. “Oh well fine, fine, we can work with this.” Plastic Man looked a little dejected before his son interjected, “Uh should we?” He asked pointing at Luke himself. “Oh right... sorry. Well hopefully you know who I am... as you've taken my name and all. This is my son Luke, no relations I think. You can call him Offspring.” “Sup.” “Now we just wanted to chat with you, so if you promise to not scream and be a girl about this I promise we'll let you go. Deal?” As Luke realized what was going on, Plastic Man and his son Offspring clearly not hostile... not yet at least. Luke finally nodded and felt both of them release their grips on him. Both Plastic Man and Offspring took a seat down on their hands, Luke realized that Plastic Man was still in his iconic gear. The red suit with the openings on the front and black, the same yellow and black belt design Luke now adorned, the... somewhat unsettling short shorts. Luke started to look around for something to sit down on before he could hear Plastic Man and Offspring both moan and sigh. “Oh come on seriously?” Plastic Man asked aloud, gesturing to both him and his son until Luke realized what he was talking about. Making sure to make his own seat but using one of his legs. “There, now... Luke Thomas right?” Plastic Man asked. “How did...” Luke was immediately cut off. “Dude, everyone knows who you are. I mean you were headline news a year ago.” Offspring reminded Luke, which brought back unpleasant memories. “Well enough about that, lets get to the point here.” Plastic Man leaned back in the chair of himself. “See, here's the thing. I'm not mad about losing the Plastic Man name, I'm not even mad about the fact he patented it...” “Well you kind of were though da...” “Let me finish son.” Plastic Man didn't even look Offspring's way gesturing to him with a single index finger.
“Point is, I've been watching you. Not in a creepy Sting of The Police kind of way, but keeping an eye on you and your adventures or lack thereof. I'm not mad about losing the name, but if someone is going to take it from me, I expect something a bit more... non-sad about the person who took it.” Plastic Man shrugged as Luke wanted to object, but hung his head. “Hey sorry but I never wanted to do this. I mean Hell if it was all up to me I wouldn't even be here or doing any of this...” Luke pleaded his case gesturing to himself. “I totally understand you not being that okay with me Mister uh...” “Plastic is fine.” “Mr. Plastic, but...” Luke couldn't bring himself to talk anymore. Plastic Man and Offspring noticed and both scooted up a little closer. “Hey man believe me, if I had it my way years ago, I would still be some low life criminal running around Gotham thinking what a bad ass he was.” Plastic Man stated, clearly not sounding that proud of what he was saying. “But there's a reason that whole 'things happen for a reason' idea exists.” Plastic Man patted Luke on his shoulder with an outstretched arm. “Hey point is, I want to see you succeed kid, we both do. Being Plastic Man saved my life, its not something I take lightly, even if I take most things lightly. Thing is, you have the name now, you have the legacy. Its not a Batman or a Superman legacy granted but its a legacy.”
Plastic Man's word did strike a chord with Luke but he still sighed. “Yeah but its a legacy I suck at.” Luke told the two, though Offspring clearly and audibly with a whiff dismissed him before speaking up. “I mean in that first year sure. But ever since Giganta brought you into the Young Justice thingy you seem to be doing better. I mean you helped take down Icicle until everyone else tried to legally murder him, then you just helped beat what's his face...” “Shrapnel?” “Yeah walking Bic razor blade guy...” “Yep that's the one...” Luke chuckled at the back and forth the father and son were having. Offspring's joke reminding him of having the exact same thought during the battle. “Look, stop being so down on yourself man, if you suck we'll be the first ones to tell you.” Plastic Man proudly told Luke who raised an eyebrow, “Uh... thanks?”
As the night went on the three elastic heroes continued to talk. Plastic Man told Luke all about the adventures him and Offspring have been going on ever since Plastic Man left the Justice League. Going into stories of when he was with the team, a lot of which involving Batman Luke noticed. Still though it was all an experience Luke wasn't used too feeling in years. Being around them made him relaxed, having a smile on his face as he listened to the both of them going on and on, Luke himself even chiming in with stories about his dad that got some laughs. Finally both Offspring and Plastic Man decided it was time to go.
“Listen Luke... you seem like a great kid, don't worry about this stuff man. You're Plastic Man now.” The original Plastic Man reminded Luke as Offspring was already on his way out. “Thanks.” Luke smiled a bit giving Plastic Man a nod. “We're going to head out of town, I promised him a trip to Disney World and I intend to go through with that promise. But we'll keep an eye on you. Go out there and make me proud kid.” Plastic Man after saying that was about to leave out the back with his son before Luke stopped him, gently grabbing his shoulder with a stretched arm. “Wait before you go....” Luke started, “While we were talking, you sounded like you knew my dad quite a bit, how?” Plastic Man frowned a bit, finally he tipped down his goggles so he could look Luke eye to eye. “I'm not going to get into that now, since its a LONG story. But lets just say you and me have more in common than just a name kid.” Plastic Man was about to leave again until he stopped. “Actually while we're on last second questions...” Luke tilted his head a little wondering what the hero was going to ask.
“Does Mr. Plastic sound like a good name? I do need something now that I can't use Plastic Man publicly anymore.”
Luke paused, finally pondering the question with a hand on his chin. “Eh, bit of a stretch.” The two looked at one another before Plastic Man pointed at Luke with a smile. “You'll do just fine kid!” They both laughed before finally Plastic Man was gone. Luke felt the smile on his face seem almost permanent, not that he'd be crazy enough to get it off himself. Still it was hard for him to get over the meeting, he only wished he could have a dad like Offspring did, lucky guy.
Luke ran back over to the dumpster, all the while striding along and feeling a joyful high he hadn't felt in years. Finally when he got to the dumpster he looked around and couldn't find the paper bag with his clothes in it. Sighing he glanced around at the street before him before smirking. “Well... at least some homeless guy's going to look nice tonight.” He muttered to himself.

He is, I'm debating giving him a kid and how to make said kid.
No love for N2O? HATERS... THE WHOLE LOT OF YA!

Actually, as the first person to step out, I quit during the Doomsday fight. Character development would be totally awesome. On that note, I'd like to come back in if you'll have me. It's up to you, however. I'd understand if the idea wasn't appealing to you.
I for one welcome our returning not quite overlord...
Seriously though I really enjoyed the little interactions between Apollo and Plas. I feel like they could really become friends.
Yeah I'm going to make the Plas post tonight on Titanpad. It'll keep him out of this since I don't know how to bring him into it while not killing the tension any. Plus we need a break so me and Dizzy can make that post we had talked about some time ago. The Plas and Dizzy SHOPPING SPREE!
Mr_pink said
Uh, I'm kind of busy right now, I can probably get a post up tomorrow but not tonight.
Let me know when you have a chance and we can get it moving on titanpad. Basically the gist is the Doom Sympathizers have equipment for the older heroes but won't be prepared for the young heroes. Hopefully the wait won't be much longer.
In the meantime I'm probably going to try and get a second post going, I wanted to put some of what's going into this in the last post but forgot. But for the documentary on Spider-Man is going to have JJJ in it. Who's going to may or may not sound similar to a recent interview done by a soon to be former Clippers owner. Only I don't think JJJ would think Spider-Man has AIDs....
Problem right now is I sent mr pink everything to really help get this rp moving. And haven't heard back from the man yet.
"I would just like to take a moment to thank all of you for coming out this evening, with the donations we've collected over 450,000 dollars for the various featured charities. But not only that, all of your compliments on the museum have all been very much personally appreciated. This has been a personal project of love for me the last six months, and hopefully it all came through. Before though I say anything more, I would like a moment of silence. There are plenty of the heroes who this museum honors here tonight, but plenty more gave their lives protecting us all. Not only that but the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, just as important heroes who will be getting their own wing of this museum soon. For all those heroes who can't be with us I ask for a moment of reflection..."
Those in attendance who were near Franklin speaking through the microphone or heard him through the speakers all did as Franklin lead. Finally Franklin brought a smile back to his face and the microphone back up.
"Alright well hopefully I didn't bring things too far down after that. Please enjoy yourselves tonight, if you See Tony Stark be sure to show him some love too. As a lot of this was as much his work as mine. Thank you for your time..." Franklin awkwardly put the microphone down and stepped off the small stage at the entrance. Gesturing to the kind applause he got in response. As he strolled away and welcomed some of the guests in kind one of the officials in charge of security leaned in. "Sir, we're getting reports someone here is claiming to be Loki's kid." Franklin heard him whisper into his ear. Almost requiring Franklin needing a moment to decide if the idea was funny or very dangerous. "What has he done so far." "He was talking to Ms. Stark but his been hard to spot after that." "Have security keep an eye on him. Lets just assume his crazy for now." The security official nodded and left him to his work as he got a cup of water. Sighing and looking around a bit before Franklin's vision suddenly went dark with large orange rocky hands. "Hey Frankie guess who?" The large gravel like voice boomed out. Making the young man smile. "Is it my favorite uncle ever?" Franklin playfully asked. "HEY I THOUGHT I WAS!" Franklin turned and his neck stretched his head up over his uncle Ben's large hands. As Franklin's mom, dad, as well as Uncle Ben along with Uncle Johnny with his wife Lyja all came in. "No you guys are both awesome!" Franklin responded to his uncle Johnny and proceeded to get a hug in with all of them using outstretched arms. "Oh I'm so glad you guys could make it out." Franklin pulled back as he started to make small talk with uncle Johnny and Ben. Having not seen either of them in some time, as well as his parents.
After a bit more of scripted conversation, Caiden departed from Peter and MJ, looking around the museum for a bit. The Superpower Simulator seemed cool, but he didn't want to be caught in there as Spider-Man. He already had superpowers, after all. As he walked, he caught sight of Tony Stark and his daughter, Phoebe. The Iron Maiden was getting wooed by someone... Caiden didn't know what it was, but something was off about him. He seemed... out of place.
When he finished snooping around, Caiden concluded that the Museum would soon earn the Spider-Man Seal of Approval. Just add another section dedicated to a certain arachnid-like hero and it would be a done deal. Speaking of which, Caiden needed to find the head honcho of the place, Franklin Richards. A little business discussion wouldn't hurt... Would it?
Right as that thought passed through his head, Franklin's voice blared through the speakers. Caiden respected the guy's wish for a moment of silence, and bowed his head low, holding his arms behind his back. Once it was over, Caiden resumed to search for Frank. His business proposal was very important, after all. As he walked towards the stage where Franklin had given his speech, he saw that the retired Fantastic Four were catching up with their nephew and child. Not wanting to interrupt, Caiden stayed back, observing the reunion.
“We should have done some sort of crazy entrance like that.” said Lily as she watch Tony Stark enter along with another lady who both were wearing armor. Lily assumed the other lady was Tony Stark's daughter. On the bright side no one would really remember her dress with Tony making an entrance like that, hopeful more exciting things would happen to make everyone focus on something beside her.
As Lily entered the building and look around, she saw a vast crowd, most of which she didn't recognize, yet there were a few that she did. She saw two X-men, who she recognize from school. Although Lily wasn't a mutant she did attend Xavier School for the Gifted. She wouldn't be surprised if none of them recognized her, she kept a low profile at the school. Among the crowd she noted other heroes such as the new Spider-Man but he seemed pretty busy at the moment.
Before Lily could do anything else she suddenly heard Franklin and turned to see him speaking on the Microphone. He was talking about donation, Lily had heard of this and had even contributed a small amount of 50 dollars, though compared to the total it wasn't much. Yet when Franklin ask everyone to spend a moment of reflection for heroes who couldn't be with them, it just made Lily think about her good for nothing father. Lily utterly despised her father but decided to change her train of thought, she didn't want to dishonor Franklin noble goals with her petty hatred.
Once Franklin speech had ended Lily moved to greet her old friend but found that he was busy with his security guards. Lily didn't want to interrupt but couldn't help but listen in the conversation. It seemed someone claiming to be Loki son had joined the party, though Lily enjoyed a fight and an adventure she didn't want to see Franklin party get destroyed. Once the security guard had left Lily was about to make her move only to find that Franklin was already talking to his relatives. Once he had finish talking to his relatives, Lily made her way towards Franklin. “Hi Franklin, I overheard you might have a security problem.” said Lily as she made a fist with one hand and place in her the palm of her other hand and crack her neck.
Franklin chuckled as he let his family go check out the museum. As outside of his dad none of them had a chance to see it yet, and even then it wasn't much outside of the Fantastic Four exhibit. Franklin Franklin went to take another sip when he heard a very familiar voice behind him. "Hm? MMHPGGH!" Franklin felt the water running down his throat in a wrong way as he choked and coughed. His cheeks puffing out and his eyes going crossed for a second. It wasn't so much Lily overhearing his talk with the security as much as that dress. Holy crap THAT DRESS. He never had a clue his childhood BFF had such a thing in her, even with her fashion star of a mom.
Lily face turned red with anger. She could tell what Franklin was thinking. “Say a word about this dress and I will make sure you don't see tomorrow. Do we understand each other?” ask Lily as she grabbed Franklin tie with an iron grip. As Lily grabbed his tie it caused his already sore throat to be squeezed tight. Making his head swell up as he struggled. "Crystal clear..." He struggled to get out. “I'm glad we came to an understanding.” said Lily as she let go of his tie and quickly patted his suit to fix it up quickly. “So tell me, what have you been up to, aside from this fundraiser. Have you chosen a field of science, I've gone with genetics.” said Lily who was now in a better mode. Franklin struggled to get air as his head shrunk back to normal. Franklin gasping like a fish out of water for oxygen before coughing for the last time. "Err well... I mean science isn't really my thing like it was Valeria's." Franklin reminded her as he shrugged. "I mean I have no idea what to do, I was thinking maybe just keep with this museum, do some more charity work on the side. I never really had much time to think about it lately to be honest."
Lily gave Franklin a serious stare. "Nope, that won't do. I will not allow you to waste your gifts, doing so would be a crime. How about you apply to work with S.W.O.R.D. they could use someone like you, especially after all the adventures your parents have gone for. They would take you in a heartbeat. Just think about it, we would be working together, advancing science and saving the world from all sorts of crazy threats. Come now, lets go fill an application." said Lily in a manner that indicating she wasn't asking but telling him to do so before grabbing his arm and starting to drag him towards a nearby room with a computer. Franklin was about to try and tell her calmly that he wasn't a superhero. He didn't think he was needed as one and didn't want to try and emulate his family's life. Unfortunately he got about "Well actually Li..." into that speech when suddenly his arm was being yanked like taffy by Lily over to the nearest computer. "...Oh bother..." Franklin mumbled shaking his head before meekly catching up with Lily and his hand.
Those in attendance who were near Franklin speaking through the microphone or heard him through the speakers all did as Franklin lead. Finally Franklin brought a smile back to his face and the microphone back up.
"Alright well hopefully I didn't bring things too far down after that. Please enjoy yourselves tonight, if you See Tony Stark be sure to show him some love too.

"Sir, we're getting reports someone here is claiming to be Loki's kid." Franklin heard him whisper into his ear. Almost requiring Franklin needing a moment to decide if the idea was funny or very dangerous. "What has he done so far." "He was talking to Ms. Stark but his been hard to spot after that." "Have security keep an eye on him. Lets just assume his crazy for now." The security official nodded and left him to his work as he got a cup of water. Sighing and looking around a bit before Franklin's vision suddenly went dark with large orange rocky hands. "Hey Frankie guess who?" The large gravel like voice boomed out. Making the young man smile. "Is it my favorite uncle ever?" Franklin playfully asked. "HEY I THOUGHT I WAS!" Franklin turned and his neck stretched his head up over his uncle Ben's large hands. As Franklin's mom, dad, as well as Uncle Ben along with Uncle Johnny with his wife Lyja all came in. "No you guys are both awesome!" Franklin responded to his uncle Johnny and proceeded to get a hug in with all of them using outstretched arms. "Oh I'm so glad you guys could make it out." Franklin pulled back as he started to make small talk with uncle Johnny and Ben. Having not seen either of them in some time, as well as his parents.
After a bit more of scripted conversation, Caiden departed from Peter and MJ, looking around the museum for a bit. The Superpower Simulator seemed cool, but he didn't want to be caught in there as Spider-Man. He already had superpowers, after all. As he walked, he caught sight of Tony Stark and his daughter, Phoebe. The Iron Maiden was getting wooed by someone... Caiden didn't know what it was, but something was off about him. He seemed... out of place.
When he finished snooping around, Caiden concluded that the Museum would soon earn the Spider-Man Seal of Approval. Just add another section dedicated to a certain arachnid-like hero and it would be a done deal. Speaking of which, Caiden needed to find the head honcho of the place, Franklin Richards. A little business discussion wouldn't hurt... Would it?
Right as that thought passed through his head, Franklin's voice blared through the speakers. Caiden respected the guy's wish for a moment of silence, and bowed his head low, holding his arms behind his back. Once it was over, Caiden resumed to search for Frank. His business proposal was very important, after all. As he walked towards the stage where Franklin had given his speech, he saw that the retired Fantastic Four were catching up with their nephew and child. Not wanting to interrupt, Caiden stayed back, observing the reunion.
“We should have done some sort of crazy entrance like that.” said Lily as she watch Tony Stark enter along with another lady who both were wearing armor. Lily assumed the other lady was Tony Stark's daughter. On the bright side no one would really remember her dress with Tony making an entrance like that, hopeful more exciting things would happen to make everyone focus on something beside her.
As Lily entered the building and look around, she saw a vast crowd, most of which she didn't recognize, yet there were a few that she did. She saw two X-men, who she recognize from school. Although Lily wasn't a mutant she did attend Xavier School for the Gifted. She wouldn't be surprised if none of them recognized her, she kept a low profile at the school. Among the crowd she noted other heroes such as the new Spider-Man but he seemed pretty busy at the moment.
Before Lily could do anything else she suddenly heard Franklin and turned to see him speaking on the Microphone. He was talking about donation, Lily had heard of this and had even contributed a small amount of 50 dollars, though compared to the total it wasn't much. Yet when Franklin ask everyone to spend a moment of reflection for heroes who couldn't be with them, it just made Lily think about her good for nothing father. Lily utterly despised her father but decided to change her train of thought, she didn't want to dishonor Franklin noble goals with her petty hatred.
Once Franklin speech had ended Lily moved to greet her old friend but found that he was busy with his security guards. Lily didn't want to interrupt but couldn't help but listen in the conversation. It seemed someone claiming to be Loki son had joined the party, though Lily enjoyed a fight and an adventure she didn't want to see Franklin party get destroyed. Once the security guard had left Lily was about to make her move only to find that Franklin was already talking to his relatives. Once he had finish talking to his relatives, Lily made her way towards Franklin. “Hi Franklin, I overheard you might have a security problem.” said Lily as she made a fist with one hand and place in her the palm of her other hand and crack her neck.
Franklin chuckled as he let his family go check out the museum. As outside of his dad none of them had a chance to see it yet, and even then it wasn't much outside of the Fantastic Four exhibit. Franklin Franklin went to take another sip when he heard a very familiar voice behind him. "Hm? MMHPGGH!" Franklin felt the water running down his throat in a wrong way as he choked and coughed. His cheeks puffing out and his eyes going crossed for a second. It wasn't so much Lily overhearing his talk with the security as much as that dress. Holy crap THAT DRESS. He never had a clue his childhood BFF had such a thing in her, even with her fashion star of a mom.
Lily face turned red with anger. She could tell what Franklin was thinking. “Say a word about this dress and I will make sure you don't see tomorrow. Do we understand each other?” ask Lily as she grabbed Franklin tie with an iron grip. As Lily grabbed his tie it caused his already sore throat to be squeezed tight. Making his head swell up as he struggled. "Crystal clear..." He struggled to get out. “I'm glad we came to an understanding.” said Lily as she let go of his tie and quickly patted his suit to fix it up quickly. “So tell me, what have you been up to, aside from this fundraiser. Have you chosen a field of science, I've gone with genetics.” said Lily who was now in a better mode. Franklin struggled to get air as his head shrunk back to normal. Franklin gasping like a fish out of water for oxygen before coughing for the last time. "Err well... I mean science isn't really my thing like it was Valeria's." Franklin reminded her as he shrugged. "I mean I have no idea what to do, I was thinking maybe just keep with this museum, do some more charity work on the side. I never really had much time to think about it lately to be honest."
Lily gave Franklin a serious stare. "Nope, that won't do. I will not allow you to waste your gifts, doing so would be a crime. How about you apply to work with S.W.O.R.D. they could use someone like you, especially after all the adventures your parents have gone for. They would take you in a heartbeat. Just think about it, we would be working together, advancing science and saving the world from all sorts of crazy threats. Come now, lets go fill an application." said Lily in a manner that indicating she wasn't asking but telling him to do so before grabbing his arm and starting to drag him towards a nearby room with a computer. Franklin was about to try and tell her calmly that he wasn't a superhero. He didn't think he was needed as one and didn't want to try and emulate his family's life. Unfortunately he got about "Well actually Li..." into that speech when suddenly his arm was being yanked like taffy by Lily over to the nearest computer. "...Oh bother..." Franklin mumbled shaking his head before meekly catching up with Lily and his hand.
Thank you very much. Anyways I sent Pink some info he'll need since his outside at the moment from everything I gathered. As for everyone else I have a post I should put up here after a little editing.
Good news I got a desktop computer so now I should be able to handle any and all writing stuff much more easily. Even though it came with one of those ergonomic natural keyboards where its like bumped up in the middle and the middle has a split. Very weird but I think I should be able to adjust in time.
