Hokay soooo apparently my weird static issues are a secondary mutation 🎉 (At least now I know why I've been shocking the everloving crap out of myself and anything else that can conduct electricity lately, but also OUCH, I am so tired of shocking myself. My phone. Other people. THE DAMN FRIDGE.)

So now you've all been properly warned. Please be careful touching me, don't hand me your electronics unless they're shielded or you've seen me ground myself, etc.

Please have whoever is in charge of ordering our office supplies lay in a large stash of those clever static wristbands.

... wait, are you in charge of our office supplies now since Clea is out of office?

[xp_darcy]

I am, and they've been added to the next order. Doug also got me a few of those super rugged cases. Not sure where he got them, but they definitely look like they belong on some website with something like EVERYDAY TACTICAL BECAUSE MEN as branding.

[xp_blink]

I have sequins and a hot glue gun. I gotcha boo

[xp_darcy]

As long as I can't melt them, yes... so maybe just a few to start.

[xp_blink]

not melting.... okay. can do. um. do you have a budget?

[xp_darcy]

Sorry, not easily melted. Nothing that melts if it's near a turned on standard 60W lightbulb. Glitter is probably fine, depending on the glue.

[xp_blink]

oh! no problem. that rules out the hot glue gun but there are plenty of options still

[xp_darcy]

I've got gorilla glue.

[xp_blink]

me too, it's the best

[xp_darcy]

...It won't melt under 60W bulbs either, so you bring sparkly things and I'll bring glue? I've wasted expensive glue on dumber ideas.

[xp_blink]

absolutely. bring inspo pics too

[xp_tarot]

I think the art studio has glass beads as well if the sequins are meltable.

[xp_darcy]

Oooh. You're the best!

[xp_cypher]

fuckin tacticool gucciflage, I swear

But if it works, sounds like Clarice has you covered.

[xp_darcy]

I mean, I haven't complained about frying it against since you ordered them.

[xp_cypher]

so you got that going for you :)

It's just that tacticool gear makes me think of sovereign citizen nutbars and then it's just all downhill from there.

[xp_darcy]

And that's why we make it sparkle, so nobody ever gets me confused with Those Assholes.

[xp_banshee]

Ooooooh, a secondary mutation.

Also, I suppose you'll be avoiding wool for a bit? Anything I can do to help?

[xp_darcy]

Wool, flannel, about half my bedding and a few blankets...

Don't think so, but company is always nice. You know how I am. :D

[xp_hawkeye]

Is that why you kept shocking me the other day? Awesome. Do you know if you can turn a lightbulb on yet? Is it like, just static electricity or electricity electricity? How do you feel about doing science on it at some point? Whenever, obviously, no pressure.

[xp_darcy]

Yes, and I warned you I was made of static! You and Matt and the static experiments, I swear. BKM hive mind is too strong in you boys.

I can explode one if I get emotional enough.

Both.

Of course I'm doing science to it. You need to get in line though, position's already claimed by our resident expert in electricity. My voltage is surging between 120-150 right now, hence the lights.

[xp_bevatron]

In addition to the science, if you wish for help in managing your powers I can lend you the benefit of my experience.

[xp_darcy]

How convenient that you were the resident expert I was referring to! This saves me an entire text or email, but now Clint is going to want to watch everything because he's a nosy brat. :)

[xp_bevatron]

Ah, indeed, I somehow missed that part of the comment in all the discussion about science. Tres bien, I am at your disposal then.

[xp_darcy]

You are a gem and a delight, and I am gonna make you food in return.

[xp_jubilee]

Ooh. Now I want to test it out. We should try putting you in a plastic bucket.

[xp_darcy]

Mm... no. Definitely not.

[xp_jubilee]

But! Fun with electricity! Also, hilarious shenanigans

[xp_darcy]

Definitely not. I strongly dislike being static shocked.

[xp_havok]

Wow that's.... shocking

(I think I'm funny)

[xp_darcy]

...It's a good thing the electricity doesn't come out of my eyes because the look I just gave the screen after reading this, dude.
