Just some muscle damage. Will let @Greatmar2 post before I do.


Ow, what did you do?

I'll be posting either later this evening or tomorrow late morning/noon. I was at a friend's birthday party today and my exam tomorrow is a 3 hour maths paper 2... At least I already did the APM one.
<Snipped quote by Greatmar2>

Oh, I meant it in a completely impersonal matter. Renat is basically a stray mutant wanting to belong - as a metaphor for all mutants feeling stray and wanting to belong. I will add more volume to the post later, to make it clearer.


Ah, that makes sense.
"In fact, who are all you people anyway? Now that we got a moment to think. I don't know why I should be trusting any of you with my sister let alone myself."

Glad I'm not the only one holding this concern, Renat thought. He then listened and watched in his usual silence, trying to figure out at least something about these people before he would introduce himself and ask who they are. So, they escaped some sort of bunker prison? Does or did Mr. Expressionless work for the USF? He isn't in prison uniform like the girl or rock man. And the girl said he was ordered to do something - take her apart, probably a dissection... but she's still alive... Why would he join them? This is a bit scary, probably not best to stay with criminals too long. Hopefully they are not criminals, merely people with abilities that were arrested by the U.S.F. like me.

"You doing alright there? Sorry if I scared you with all the commotion. But I had to get us out of there. The name is Edith by the way, if you were wondering."

For the first time since these people had appeared out of thin air behind him and destroyed his captors, one directly addressed him with more than one sentence. "Yeah, I'm ok. Just nothing I've participated in before. Thanks for the help, Edith." He paused, "I'm Renat. I just want to avoid detection or capture by the U.S.F. for now; I'll stay out of your guys way if you are planning anything big." He glanced towards the two other conscious people present, "So, uh, what are your guys' names?"
@Peaceless, how does one look like a metaphor? :P

I can think of some obscure ways that that could make sense (e.g. since in a metaphor you usually say something is something else, you could say Renat looks to be an object when he absorbs a lot of matter), but I don't think they fit with the current situation or characters' knowledge of one another.
Ryan sighed as the man with whom he was just talking looked away, the near expressionless face seeming distracted instead of giving a reply. Now he knew how his friends must feel when he occasionally zones out. Thinking briefly of his friends, he again hoped that they were ok - uninjured and uncaptured.

The teen girl seemed to be pretty quick to define someone as 'ok in her books'. But he wasn't going to complain about that in the moment. The thing - rock man - seemed to have a minor objection, but he shrugged and accepted the girl's decision. Renat settled for silently watching and listening. It would be a bit of trouble to get to the safe house unnoticed, but this group seemed determined.

The teen then motioned for them to come closer. She brandished a form of hotchpotch device. "This is our distraction. When I plug it in we have 30 seconds before it goes off. It should make a mess more than anything once I tweak it. Got it?"

A bomb?! Maybe this was not the best idea. But I guess it is probably better than getting captured by the U.S.F. As soon as the girl ran, throwing the armed bomb behind her, he was right behind her - his heart pumping. Soon enough, there was an explosion. He briefly glanced back, but did not stop. Despite knowing that they were out of range, he still felt a sense of fear not familiar to him. The explosion was quickly followed by a few smaller ones and the alarm being sounded.

"Just a little further guys and then we can take a break."

I'm now fleeing with what, in the eyes of the U.S.F. is a bunch of criminals... And I don't even know their names... I guess I'll ask when we take a break. Renat followed the girl, who seemed far more confident in herself, praying they'd get to the hideout soon and that he'd eventually be able to safely return home.
Hello all,

I know that a post autosave feature has been requested many times and is on it's way, but would be hard to implement. So I would like to propose a feature that could be handy in the mean time, and possibly after the autosave feature has been implemented:

Pop up dialogues!

If you have begun typing in the reply box and hit refresh or click a link (which targets the current tab, not a blank one), a dialog should pop up - preventing you from reloading the page or loading the next page until you press confirm, or cancel the load. Additionally, there could be a dialog box that pops up when a user presses post, reminding them to copy it (their post) to the clipboard, or offering for it to do so.

Users could specify in their preferences if they'd like to disable one or both of the dialogs, then it is at their own risk.
What are you talking about? I'm right here.


Well then post, before you're eaten too. You never know when they'll get you. I'll take watch duty while you write. Nothing get's past me! (Except maybe an army of elves... and maybe a couple other things)
A wild dragon appeared and ate them all. I had nothing to do with it. Not that I remember...
<Snipped quote by Greatmar2>

I do not appreciate your sass young man.

Go to your room.


Sassily stomps away.
I like our teen compadré.

Everyone says, "This is what we need to do."

He asks, "Can I like... can I come with you too? You know if that's cool..."
