ALL SPECIALS

Well, combusting wasn an issue when I was testing the new PDCs a week ago. I guess I should have tried harder. ~~Or done more to put them through their paces~~

Anybody been to the nightclub and have a review of the place, or planning on going any time? I haven't gotten out there yet, so it can't hurt to ask for an opinion before I try. I can't even remember the last time I've unwound.

BARRY

So, I haven't seen you around and this just seems like the best way to reach out; I'm not going to beat around the bush just because I think that it'll be easier not to.

I remember being selected for a mission with you the other day, but beyond that...I can't remember a damn thing. Can you?

LYDIA

Hey, Lydia!

I know I haven't poked you much since talking about your soap and perfume, but I'm more than a little bit curious.... How exactly did you go about getting True Alpha started? You said you'd already done the testing for the soaps when you reached out for a focus group, but how did you start the process exactly? That's if you're allowed to actually say, anyway.

Oh... Steve would look good in those.

105. I was upset, he came down to my room and took me to his so we could talk, and be safe... I don't know I was holding his hand and then I kissed him and I. No one ever treated me with such respect and care as he has since I got here months ago. I guess I just let myself get carried away.

I'm pretty sure Steve looks good in most things, to be fair.

There's nothing wrong with a kiss. Sometimes it's pretty comforting.

He looks pretty good drenched... he is built like a castle wall. [That she would totally climb. Cough.]

I suppose not... I'd like to think not, but there's this little voice in the back of my head that sounds like my governess screaming about me being a Lady. Or Uther's booming anger exclaiming that Ladies don't do those things!

But I was always bad at doing what I was told.

Castle wall isn't the first thing I'd think of, but I can see it.

Let me tell you a little secret. Women, ladies, can do any and everything that men can do. And sometimes do it better and in dresses and heels.

Plus your governess and Uther aren't here, so their opinions don't really matter. Now you do whatever you want...within the Computer's parameters, anyway.

I believe you, cause Lord knows I've beaten a whole group of warlords while in my underclothes but somehow that seems a lot easier than kisses.

I used to train, when I was a child and my Da was alive. I'm good with a sword, good dancer, good at driving knights wild... not as good as I'd like to be at picking moments of... uh. Intimacy?

Not so much a matter of not believing so much as not being used to being myself without someone waiting to tell me the sixteen ways I committed treason against the crown and human decency that day. Save a child? Dungeon. Wear a tight dress? Reduced to a useful ornament. Manage to fight your way out of the woods in your underwear and want to go back for your friend? Dropped off home and told to behave... Until recently the computer felt like a breath of fresh air, honestly. It may tell me what to do, but it's not on account of my sex.

Sounds like that all stems from where you're from, who you were around. So, I'm sure it will take time to forget it all, and to work toward more of an ease with kissing.

But it also sounds to me like you're a progressive and well on your way too.

One of the few positives of the Computer...it's not completely sexist.

Well as long as I stop kissing my friends who don't feel that way about me I'm sure it'll be infinitely less awkward.

[Maybe. Right?]

Well every thorn has it's rose.
