@ Ginger: You don't want to know the answer. It involves a horrid tale of My Immortal, 42 D cells, and time travel.

I studied international law at school My North american teacher taught us that you should always sue for everything lol.

My rule of thumb is that you throw ninja lawyers at folks who are unrepentant jerks and let the others go.

Should I?

...I have three months to change my mind.

it also depends on whether you can afford to pay your lawyers. I can't use Ninja Lawyers because I lack funding and they charge a lot for their services.

Because it's a criminal case, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) take it up for you...no fees!

Naw, I wouldn't get lawyers involved unless it was absolutely freaking necessary. Torts and even criminal cases are a pain in the ass. Well if the criminal prosecutors are paid for, it might be a little less hassle.

Fuck yeah, Twi as Athena!◊

@ Drenius

Well...I have to ask myself...what would Chuckles do?

SUE HIM FOR EVERYTHING. TAKE HIS MONEY, TAKE HIS CLOTHES, HIS FOOD, HIS LIFE

I'm kidding. I have no idea what the law is like over there. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T TAKE ME SERIOUSLY.

As a law student I can confirm that at least in our legal tradition criminal prosecutions can be complicated.

I don't know how much he hurt you :/. But I do know this, forgiveness is the best revenge :D

Well I'm out of here for a bit. I have three hundred pages of single spaced, size 8 font, .25 inch margin fanfiction printouts and a free weekend.

I had... probably the most absurd dream ever last night. It was a pony related nightmare. And not in the Cupcakes sort of vein of pony nightmare. If anything it sort of smacked of Dark City.

I wasn't actually involved in it at all, it was basically revolving around Big Mac and Caramel, who were couple in this context(GEE, I WONDER WHAT MY SUBCONSCIOUS IS TRYING TO TELL ME?). There was this sort of subtle alien invasion going on, where the aliens would go around abducting lone ponies for research purposes. They would analyze how they reacted to various stimuli, and try to create empty pony bodies - they had some way of separating a consciousness from a body, and trying to build a new body around a consciousness. Except that the consciousness could reject the body... somehow. It had something to do with intense emotions, because a Caramel consciousness rejected a body because he was pissed that he got separated from BM. The rejected bodies were called Blank Checks, or Bad Checks, for some reason.

Anyways, they were trying to recreate pony bodies so that they could stick their own consciousnesses into them and become ponies, I guess. Their motivations were either for plain old study from a hands-on perspective, or that they were an immortal species that wanted to take on mortality so that they would be so bored. Both explanations were given at some point. Most of the studies focused around emotion - their motivations for abduction Mac and Caramel were to study love, for example - and stuff like that.

The aliens were actually sort of sympathetic. The nightmare part comes from the fact that A: In the vein of Dark City they were really fucking creepy and B: a part where, from Big Mac's perspective, I witnessed him waking up to three of the aliens standing over top of him (and they are tall) staring down, only to grab him and collect genetic material by Sticking a needle into his eye. So yeah. Kinda freaky as balls, that. But it was actually kinda cool. Might make for a good fanfiction.

Fallen's right!

I shall...forgive!

Chuckles: nods in approval

That's...terrify...ingly awesome.

But...unforgiving judicial system (maybe)!

Take everything (also maybe)!

Hmmm...terrifying homoeroticism. Never heard of it.

Huh, that nightmare sounds like equal parts Invasion of the Bodies Snatcher and Dark City. I'm sure it was pretty disturbing while you were dreaming, but that actually sounds pretty cool. I'm also glad to find another fan of Dark City!

Cute!

Super Cute!

Mega Cute!

Wait if your dream was about Dark City, how do you know you're not still dreaming?

>_>

@Kegisak wow can you borrow me your dream it sounds scary and yet cool at the same time.

Re: Fallen Legend:

I am so quoting that last bit.

But Dark City wasn't about dream realities, it was about constructed realities and personas. And custom mixing personalities and histories.

I think one of the most disturbing dreams I had involves a 2 foot long mantis burrowing into my body through my throat. I even felt the carapace crack as I tried to crush it.
