Apparently I don't talk enough.

[xp_cyclops]

[I wasn't going to make this public. I started to, and then I stopped, and tried to let cooler heads prevail. It didn't work.]

I'm not one for idle conversation.

I'm also not a person who speaks when they don't have all the information, and aren't sure of the situation.

Apparently, to some people at this school, this is the equivalent of treating them like children.

I guess I have been keeping secrets then, simply because I haven't been talking. I haven't been speaking up first.

I hereby apologize to each and every person at this school for my behavior.

I am not social. I am not a people person. Logan once said I was a dick. He wasn't wrong.

However, in an attempt to mend fences and in the interest of not alienating students any MORE, I hereby offer to answer any question put to me as honestly and truthfully as I am able. And tell you if I am not able to answer that. Even why, if I can.

It's a step. A step toward opening up. Toward not treating you like children.

Take it.

why do I have to ask Hank's permission for an image inducer every time I want to leave this place?

one day he might say "no, Clarice, you ahven't finished your Algebra so you can't go" and he'll KNOW because I have to get permission to leave and no one else my age does beyond finding a driver.

Image inducers are not toys. They are several thousand dollars each of precision electronic equipment constructed from an original patented design of Dr. McCoy's. Nor are they easily replaceable equipment. Each one was created by Dr. McCoy. He gets to decide who gets to use them, and who doesn't.

Besides, if you broke one he would likely cry.

And that is not a pretty sight.

Everybody has to ask for an image inducer. I do, and I'm... well, I'm older than you.

Re:

but do you use one?

I didn't think any other students did except Miles who has Alison to watch out for him

I do. In fact, I'm taking one when Shinobi and I go out to dinner, because fuck knows I can't go out to a nice restaurant looking the way I do.
