I haven't used my magic is sometime. I have to admit it's more painful than I imagined. (He likens it to moving a limb after an injury has mostly healed. It's safe to use his powers and he won't injure himself further if he's careful, but there's that deep-seated soreness that never goes away.) Vanyel has told me that there are other magic users around. If you have experience in being injured by magic, I would like to speak to you. I'm curious how you deal with the discomfort.

(Until he gets better answers, he is going to suck it up and bear it.)

Also, is it possible to wish for pets? Nothing too big, of course. I don't want it crowding Van out of the room. (Can you sense the amusement behind those words? He thinks the image is a little funny.) And maybe something that likes music?

What the...?

[Rodney frowned at the odd readings coming up on the tablet in his hand. Still walking like he knew where he was going, he continued to push at the screen and frown at the results.]

What is this?! What more could go wrong?! First the gate, then the crash now my tabl...

[Finally looking up he wasn’t following Sheppard into a room in Atlantis, but outside... On land... Nowhere near water.]

For the love of... [Annoyed, he tapped his ear bud.] Sheppard... Sheppard this is McKay, come in! [Silence.] Hello?! [He tapped his ear bud a few more times.]

This is so not happening right now!

001. Elfie needs some questions answered

Alright, whoever the hell is in charge here seriously has some explaining to do. I mean what kind of freak just kidnaps people and brings them to this place? I’m sure it’s just great here and all but I’d rather be at home right now. People need me. This is a matter of life and death here. No one is paying the least bit of attention to me, are they?

(She sighs a little to herself, shaking her head)

And another thing, where the hell are all my things? I need my tape recorder. And my stash. I refuse to stay here without either. Honestly, whoever’s in charge here? You do not want to fuck with me. I’m going to figure out what whacked up shit is going on here and I’m going to get to the bottom of it.

(...Yep.)

The year 248 was a leap year

So, while that lot are doing their thing, I thought I would take it upon myself to entertain the castle. I know, it's such a heroic sacrifice on my part, one that doesn't require rushing headlong into obvious danger like a suicidal lemming.

[There's some tapping of computer keys] For those of us with access to it, if you'd like to upload CastleNet, you'll find some new games to entertain your tiny attention spans. Have fun. Let me know which one you hate the most.

Oh, and whoever is was who decided to make the Bentley look like a fucking boombox? I'l going to find you and break every single finger in a hand of your choosing. Use this time to deeply consider which hand you'd like to be maimed.

[On CastleNet, there are indeed new games. The Useless CastleNet - a page which leads to even more pointless pages, which Crowley has carefully added. Circle the Cat - a game wherein you need to...circle a cat. And the dreaded, hated Cookie Clicker]
