Well well

It seems the LiveJournal Dungeon Adventure is experiencing a heavy load right now... not surprising. Oh well, I tried it a few days ago and my profile is not big enough yet to make for an interesting dungeon anyway.

Complete Surprise

You Are Cyclops

Dedicated and responsible, you will always remain loyal to your cause. You are a commanding leader - after all, you can kill someone just by looking at them. Power: force beams from your eyes

Which of the X-Men Are You?

They didn't make him very interesting in the movies but oh well, at least I'm hot. Like I said before, I would much rather have Mystique's power.

Took me long enough

I still don't have any pictures of myself and I don't know if I would use them for userpics anyway but I finally got off my lazy butt and got something to put next to my name.

For the curious, the comic is El Goonish Shive. And I don't look like any of them.

A Day in the Life

She waits alone at the end of the platform, her arms resting on the fence that marks its edge. No breeze stirs her hair. There are no stars, no clouds, no sky above her. Only blackness. The night air is not cold, and yet she shivers.

Her gaze is fixed back the way she came, a wasteland of jagged grey stones and rusted iron. All paths delineated by bars. There is light to one side, harsh and orange and masked by trees. It does not illuminate.

A wind rises now, blowing in from the wasteland. The shadows of trees dance in front of her like the ebb and flow of sunlight over the sea floor. She trembles, her expression momentarily ecstatic.

Two lights approach from the distance and she finds she cannot look away. A train, dulled steel making its next stop. She knows how easy it would be to step off the edge. In a moment, in one trivial action she could place herself in its path. She has no desire to do so and yet, because it is in her power, she is tempted.

Her hands grip the fence tightly, in case, and she sobs. Just once.

Doors open, time to go.
