Yay for Eurorail...

[xp_daytripper]

The thing about Europe is that it's small enough (compared to the States, any way) for you to cross several countries in twelve hours. Which is what I've pretty much done. Still, I managed to get a decent amount of sleep (helps to be small and easily foldable) and I should be where I'm going in a bit.

I'll be back in New York probably tomorrow. I have that appointment with our resident shrink. *rolls eyes*

Moira - take this to mean everything went fine. See you soon.

***

Also for Moira, since I seem to remember promising I'd do this.

Definitely: Rome, Paris, Berlin, London.

Kind of: Brighton (I forgot to mention this one at the time), Marsielles (or however how you spell that), Munich, York.

Nothing: any of the one-horse towns we've passed on the train.

Yeah, this is pretty cryptic. There's a reason.

Was today the day I was supposed to be temporarily blind? My apologies.

[xp_daytripper]

My contract says I have to go see you and I will. There's nothing there that says I can't bitch about it. Sorry, but compulsory shrinking sets my teeth on edge. Since you've got my file and all, you'll know why.

Nothing personal.

[x-viento.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Marseilles.

I feel like I should be sending you people care packages given the way you've been crypta-posting.

[xp_daytripper]

I'm fine. Peachy, even. So no need for parcels in this direction. Try tall, grumpy and limping.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Try tall, grumpy and limping.

So... Marie-Ange, Doug, and Remy?

[xp_daytripper]

Well, I meant all three to be Remy, but that works too.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

You know, if it's a problem, I could fix that whole limping problem.

[xp_daytripper]

I know you're a genius, but I doubt it. The damage was pretty major, even after I fixed what I could. Talk to him and Moira.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Somehow I get the feeling that Remy may have a sentimental attachment to his original parts. Otherwise, I'd simply refer folks to my genius resumé that includes, oh, building an entirely new lower body for Mr. al-Rashid.

Ah, sentimentality.

[xp_daytripper]

You'd have to ask him. And wasn't al-Rashid a group effort? I seem to remember there was a whole team of people involved in that.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Well, of course. Kitty and Doug designed the software that got the whole thing up and running. But if all he needs is a prosthetic, I'm kind of the resident expert in, oh, this hemisphere.

But, you know, moot point and all. If magic wouldn't work, what use would science and medicine be?

[xp_daytripper]

Like I said, you'd have to ask him. It's not a matter of magic not working but what Remy wants.

And it's a moot point not because magic wouldn't work, but because I can't do magic any more. Maybe I could fix it if things were otherwise, but since I can't, there's no point wondering.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Well, there's a lot of things one could argue you should have done with it when you had it.

But of course. Moot point now.

[xp_daytripper]

Sounds like you've got something specific in mind. Care to share since we're being all honest here?

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Actually, no. There are some things you don't get to know.

[xp_daytripper]

Thanks for the honesty, I suppose.

If you get an email from one Chopped Liver, that would be me sending you spam. So much spam.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Darn invisible text! Obviously I typoed somewhere and put a period where there should have been "and with the exceptionally brilliant and capable talents of Paige Guthrie, my wonderful and lovely colleague without whom I never would have been able to fabricate the proper metallurgical balance necessary for the project's completion."

The keys are right next to each other, you see.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I really enjoy it when she swats you like that.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Me too. Me too.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I was including him in 'you people' yes.

I'll add chocolate to yours. You seem like you could use the cheer.

[xp_daytripper]

I'm plenty cheery without it. Save it for someone who wants needs it.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

All right but no complaining when everyone else gets nifty care packages and yours is just mediocre. I did offer.

[xp_daytripper]

I think I'll cope.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you will.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Hey, lots of travel = good. Hope you're looking out the window lots.

[xp_daytripper]

*grins* Considering most of it was middle of the night trains, not so much with the scenery. But where there has been light, I've been rubber necking, you can be sure. Have to live up to the whole backpacker cover and all. ;)
