So I fell asleep on the couch. And then I woke up. You know how sometimes when you wake up, you get like, that zen moment where something just clicks and you're all "whoa" and shit?

For one brief, shining moment, the entire continuity of Marvel comics made complete and perfect sense to me.

It was really trippy.

For the record?

Trying to get some heavy duty C++ programming done doesn't work very well when you have "Safety Dance" stuck in your head.

Okay. So as some of you may have noticed, I've been spending an abnormal amount of time with the computer lately...and thank you for having the faith in me not to accuse me of wasting my time playing Minesweeper, by the way, because I have been, in fact, getting things done.

Since Molly got the barrier locations from Tyler, we know exactly what we need to defend, so I've been trying to come up with something.

It's...probably not as good as what Keye was planning to do before we lost him, but, well, he had a power to link himself right into the wires and I'm just a nerd with a keyboard and a good working knowledge of C++, so this is the best I can manage. Deal.

Those of you living with me - you see the other computer in the corner? Good. Don't touch it. That one is busy taking the info from every relevant source I've been able to get into - emergency reports, those skycams they use to show traffic on the news, that kind of crap - and putting it in a nice readable format so we can see it all at once. You will probably see me looking at it. A lot. Because I still haven't come up with something that can sort through all the everyday bullshit and go "HEY LOOK, SUSPICIOUS INDIVIDUALS AT TEN O'CLOCK!" yet. (I kind of doubt it's possible to do something like that with today's technology, really. Damn the twentieth century's lack of superintelligent AI. Damn it all to hell.)

Still trying to see if I can do anything with the security systems those locations might already have on the ground, but you know, that's a lot of crap to try and hack into, and I'm not Superman. If I make any astonishing breakthroughs I'll keep you guys posted, but don't hold your breath.

So, like. I was channel surfing today and I found an episode of - does anyone know that cartoon called Reboot? With the people who live in the computer and stuff?

Yeah, so that was on, and I flipped to it right about when they had the obligatory "INCOMING GAME" part. And I was thinking - wait, I bet I have a macro of this somewhere. The internet has never failed me before.

DOES THAT REMIND ANYONE ELSE OF A KEKKAI OR IS IT JUST ME.

okay, so kekkai aren't sparkly purple, but the way you have this huge cube suddenly engulf part of the city and...yeah!

We need to organize ourselves so that kind of shit doesn't happen again, yes? I can deal with getting kicked around with a purpose, but I was out of commission for a week and still didn't save the barrier - we can't afford to let that kind of thing become a habit.

We need to know what the rest of our barriers are, before we can do anything else about it. Can't defend them very well if we don't know what it is we're defending. Tyler seems like our best bet for finding out what all's a target, but...well. Tyler. :')

Molly, I think you'd have better luck asking him than any of the rest of us would...?

Finally named the new cat~

At first I was thinking of naming her Alfador, but she's ~~not purple~~ a girl, so it didn't really seem right.

Then I thought of naming her Cable, because she's always messing with the computer stuff, but I realized that if I did, it was just gonna remind me of Liefeld's shitty artwork of overmuscled superheroes every time I said it, and really, that's just unnecessarily cruel to both of us.

So then I decided to be a dork and rip off minor Star Wars characters. Her name is henceforth Asyr, because Bothans are cool like that.

Jason
Molly

As he stepped inside the apartment and shook the rain of his hair, Jason found himself wishing (not for the first time that day) that he'd thought to take an umbrella with him when he left. He didn't mind getting wet, not that much, but as for the bundle of gray-and-white fur he was clutching to his chest and trying to keep dry by flipping up the bottom half of his shirt to cover it - well, that was different.

He waved to Molly, already sitting on the couch, then ducked into the kitchen and grabbed a towel before moving over to sit next to her. "Lovely weather we're having, huh?"

"I think it's wonderful really. Like music." She smiled at him.

"Forget your umbrella again?"

"How did you ever guess?" He grinned and carefully extracted the cat from his shirt. "I don't mind the rain that much, but..."

Molly MELTED. "Oh, she's so CUTE! Where did you find her? Oh, let me hold her while you dry off!"

It was no secret that Molly adored cats. I mean, she put up with El Guapo and Jubilee.

"Lemme dry her off first." Jason settled the cat in his lap and gently got to work with the towel. "Found her on the way home...no tags or collar or anything, and she looked pretty lost."

"Okay, okay. The poor thing, she must have been scared! Who would let a KITTEN out like that?"

"Dunno..." Jason finished drying off the cat and passed her off to Molly, then used the towel to start drying himself off. "Wonder if someone lost her or if she just..." Doesn't have anybody.

"Well, we can put up posters, I suppose, just in case. But I wouldn't mind keeping her, really. She's so pretty." Molly sat there with the tiny thing in her lap, petting her gently.

"We'll try that, but if nobody claims her..." He nodded. "Always room for one more." He finished drying off and threw the towel across the room.

"Exactly. The more the merrier." Molly looked down at the cat.

"What's your name, sweetie?"

"We could try random names and see if she responds to anything?" Jason was only half joking, really.

She laughed. What good would that do? Cats didn't come like dogs did anyway. "Well, I suppose we COULD."

"Or we could just pick something out, since if she's anything like those two..." He tilted his head towards the corner of the room, where El Guapo and Jubilee were. "...she probably won't be much help there."

"Let's watch her for a bit as she gets used to the other cats, and then find something that fits. Cats are particular."

"Works for me." Jason glanced at the other two cats. "And speaking of which...I'd better feed those two before we've got a mutiny on our hands. And get something for the new one." He got up and headed for the kitchen.

"Oh, Jubilee has already been fed, so don't let her have more. She begged....a lot," Molly called back to him. Cats were really silly creatures. Of course, so were they for having so many now.

"Ah, okay." Jason emerged from the kitchen with two open cats of catfood, one of which was left in front of El Guapo and one of which he brought back to the couch where Molly and the new cat were waiting. "She's impatient like that sometimes, yeah."

"It's okay, cats do that. Eat, little thing. " She said to the kitten. The cat was starting to take all of her attention.

"She is a cute one -" Jason stopped, feeling a sudden weight in his lap, and looked down to find Jubilee curling up there. "Hey, don't get jealous. You took all the attention away from El Guapo when I brought you home, remember?"

Hey, Sheri? I think I'm gonna need your help getting Molly out of the hospital - they won't let her out unless it's an immediate family member checking her out, and her parents are still out of the country.

So I get back home for Christmas and I find that my little sister apparently found the old Cthulhu tree topper I made when I was her age, and somehow not only got it up on the tree, but got Mom to let her leave it there.

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU JESS ♥ ♥ ♥

Merry Christmas, people.
