Gypsy Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Well, I think it wouldn't be out place for me to say hello. So I guess I will. Or did I already. It doesn't matter much. Here you are,and here I am. Hello, and I hope you are having a better time at being a nova than I am. Oh don't get me wrong,aside form a few minor problem my life as a nova has been cake. I do hope you are happy with your power(s),and you get what you really wished for. Someone told me that is one the main reason we have the powers we have. I guess i didn't really have big enough wishes. But really I wish you the best of luck. By the way,I would consider it a great favor if you didn't go off and become a killer, it seems that novas tend to kill people, but that could just be the way they are showed in the news these days.

z-Carver Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 Ezra,Um, killer? I don't think that I could do that. I'm, well, I'm an art student. I sculpt - I have gotten a little better at that, at least. I didn't really wish for any powers; I was at a party in Ibiza when the bad stuff happened. The people at the Facility thought that I gained my toughness to let me survive being trapped in the rubble, and my claws so that I could dig out. Other than that, I have funky skunk hair, scary eyes and improved sculpting. It's a lot easier to work with marble and stone when you can use your fingers.Carver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Hi Carver. What's next for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-Carver Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 Jager,Plans? I plan to finish art school and try to get some of my pieces into a gallery. But all of that is later - like I said, I just got out of the Facility and I'm not sure that I ready to tackle anything big. Ibiza was pretty bad. I'm actually thinking about seeing a counselor, so that I have someone to talk to.Carver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Good idea. If you need help in catching up with some novas you might want to talk with, I'm game to try. I'm just following my basic principle that we should help one another when possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vox Via Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 What do you not even let them get out the proverbial diapers before you make your moves? Just leave her alone, let her sort the world out for herself, you may just be surprised what she finds out for herself,on her own. Don't even start on the idea that we should teach new novas. That is just total bullshit. Teaching new novas is just a polite way of saying we should mold them into our own image. We should let them grow into what they are, and not what we want them to be. We shouldn't forget that they are our equals and peers. They should never be treated as if they are tools for our own gain.So, Jager leave the new novas alone, let them scrape their knees,let them make their own mistakes. Let them have their own glory. Besides you have bigger problems to deal with. You have bigger issues that need tending to.As for you Carver, I hope that you find yourself. I hope you will make it through the rough parts of your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-Carver Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 Vanguard, Thanks for the warm wishes. I'm sure that Jager is just being nice. I wouldn't make a very good tool anyway - I don't fight or anything like that. Carver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Jones Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 As always my door is usually open.I'm beginning to think I should just cut and paste that into every thread, just to get it out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z-Carver Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 Ulysses,I... haven't done any work since Ibiza. I'm easing back into things.One day at a time and all that...Carver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Bailey Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Please, call me Bailey. And if you start again I would like to at least see your work if you don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't play innocent. Don't play naive. I know more about you than most people and I know enough to know that you are never a random stranger. You are never a face in the crowd. You are only seen when you want to be. You are only where you want to be. I know you have a plan. As for what your plan is I don't know or care. I just know that you are the kind of person who doesn't have friends. I know that you do not care about this woman. I know you could care less about the strangers you meet. The people you talk to are all in your master plan. You always have a reason. You always have an angle. You are always scheming. Being the man of mystery works both ways Jager. You walk alone.Still above all else you should know what happens when novas with great power inter act with new novas. Do you really think it is fair for them? Do you think you are powerful enough not to do this?And Carver,I do talk illy of jager because of you. I think he had this comming for a long time. I just was waiting, but this was as good of time as ever, at least for this. I am sorry it happened to you, but it had to hapen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Vanny, why don't you move this to a thread with something like the title: Jager is an Untrustworthy Bastard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They called him the question...and I think he trusted people more than you.Anyway, Jager is a great guy, he's helped me out more than once and he's a good person to talk to.

z-Carver Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 Vanguard,Apparently, you are not sorry that this 'happened' to me, or you wouldn't be doing it to me. You would have moved it to a private message or another link, but don't you DARE start something like this and then apologize as a back-handed attempt to make you look like something other than a jerk.That doesn't fly in 'the real world' and shouldn't fly in here, either. And by the way, whatever faction you're promoting just got a black eye because of YOU and your actions. And Jager's group got a brownie point because they don't have a rude spokesman. Whichever group that actually is... So I guess the appropriate way to end this post is with a big, fat .Bah-bye, now.Carver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeslip Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Carver,I would caution you to not judge the Teragen by the actions of a single Terat. We are individuals, and generally act as such. For example, I would be the first to agree with both Jager and you that Vanguard is a royal pain in the ass and is possessed of all the social graces of a rabid badger; yet, I -- like he -- am a Terat.That said, welcome to the board...and for that matter, welcome to your new life. Make the most of both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Vanguard don't start questioning Jager's motives when your own seem to be just as bad as you say his are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-Carver Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 Timeslip, Thanks. I... don't know what came over me there; I don't usually talk to people like that. I don't understand a lot of what is happening to me anymore.So... Teragen? Like the terrorist-type or like the philosopher-type of Teragen?Carver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeslip Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I'm pretty much of the "be true to one's own self" type. Or the "be all you can be" type, depending on how you look at self-development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I'm affiliated with the Windy City Knights, a Municipal Defenders Cooperative/Reality Show Medium based in Chicago USA and working in the area around the Western Great Lakes.When I speak, I'm pretty much speaking only for myself.My only caution on the Teragen is that it should be approached willingly and with a(n) (understanding of/thirst for knowledge of) being a nova.

kestrel404 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Carver: Welcome, and nice to see a new artist on these boards. Umm...speaking of which, has anyone heard from Tarot since Ibiza? Umm, I'm going to move that to another thread.Sorry for the tangent, Carver. So, have any strong opinions on the nova condition? That's what we usually talk about here. That and current events.

z-Carver Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 Alchemist, So far, the Nova experience has been disquieting. I'm noticing small changes in myself, and I don't mean just my hair or eyes. Like the post above to Vanguard - I'm not normally like that with people. I don't get that aggressive.My art is different: easier, but more difficult too. All in all, I'm not sure I've come out on top here.Carver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
