Few announcements and a question.

First, I’m Matt and I have a business called Black Mesa. It's a House Call Technician business, and we fix computers, broadcasting and wireless systems, business equipment and security system. If anyone is interested or just wants a job, call me maybe.

Second, I’m doing missions, have a nice record, and kind of want to keep going. So I’m currently looking for a Meister who would be cool with going on missions. I’m a Weapon, a Portal gun; I shoot regular bullets and also create Portals.

Third, imagine you have raw steaks. How hard it is to cook them? And how do cook them exactly?


[ PRIVATE TO: DUO ]
Duo. I hope you didn’t forget our date tonight.


[ PRIVATE TO: NEAR ]
A word, please.

Oh c'mon, being a weapon isn't that bad, man.

[ironicusername]

I know.
It just isn't particularly suited to my nature.
Being a meister would have been a lot fuckin' easier.

[3rdbest]

A lot of things would be a lot fucking easier if they were some other way.
You deal with what you have. No use getting our panties in a twist.

[ironicusername]

Evidently.
How did transforming for the first time go for you?

[3rdbest]

Unexpectedly. I was very focused, playing "Deathnesia: Descent into darkness" and it kind of got me off guard at some part, so survival instincts kicked in.

I was only be keep the form for like half minute. But it was enough to get the feeling, and from it, I just went ahead and kept trying.

[ironicusername]

What's it like?

[3rdbest]

It's not exactly easy to explain a feeling.

It's neither bad or good. It's not like you feel your body suddenly shrinking down either. Maybe ticklish?

[ironicusername]

... Ticklish.
Huh.
Can you feel it when you're being touched? Can you feel pain traditionally, like if you're dropped or left on a hot stove or whatever.

[3rdbest]

Yes, you can feel like you are being touched, you can feel pain and you can feel when you are being boiled alive.

But it doesn't come from a specific part of your body because you have no traditional body anymore. You know how it feels to be touched, right? So that feelings is there, but it doesn't come from your toe or from your hand. It's just there.

I know it sounds pretty crazy, but it'll make a lot of sense when you actually feel it.
