Subj: RE: Congoers of the Fenspace convention. What's your creepiest con experience?
"The Stupid. It Burns! I think. I think I might actually have picked up this guy as a Bounty once. "
No, this genius never made it up here. He was back in Melbourne, so the AFP never even needed to ask Haruhi's Angels to pick him up for them. Lots of places in space might be accepting of odd stuff (Or at least they'll let you do stupid things in a place where the only person you'll kill is yourself), but even the nations that've been accepting of us goofballs have their limits.
"Yeah. This whole line of reasoning falls apart the moment you remember how many biomods didn't ask to be biomodded."
It's weird how many people can forget that. I'd like to think I wasn't that dumb before my accident, but I can admit I probably had a moment or two. Still, at least most people up here do at least remember that, even if sometimes they need to be politely reminded.
"Out with the old. In with the new!. But most people up are still decent. If the response to this thread is anything to go by. there's just a lot more dark spaces in the universe for the sinister to hide. "
And bitterness aside, there's a lot of light to drive back the shadows. For every asshole-at-a-con story, I've got at least two about good people in the same setting. I need to find a copy of that Deadpool Con video I was in. That was fun. And he's such a good sport about it. Explains what he wants to do, asks permission... He's a real sweetheart.
