Today in the Trinity Universe

Revisiting an older theme.

2005
[Aberrant] The first ever surgical trial of a complete spinal cord reconstruction is performed. The trial is a glowing success. Funding for the research comes from the Triton Foundation.

I could gritch about Triton's work until I'm blue in the face, but right now, I find myself wondering if this specific work wasn't hyped up at least partly to distract from md_donighal's recent media blitz. (Speaking of, weren't you going to blog about that yourself, Doc?)

Patience, youth. These things take time, of which I have plenty.

With all due respect to your status as Beacon of the One Race, don't try to kid a kidder. You're... I could say "afraid"; the only thing I know of that scares you is yourself, but yourself is definitely involved here. But that's not all, I don't think.

You're ashamed of what you did, aren't you?

...Some of it, yes. Less than I'd like to be, but probably about as much as I deserve to be.

Okay. So. Watching you have a conversation with your own character, in your LJ, through comments?

Just a bit eerie.

Just for the record, yanno.

I only consider him "my" character in the sense that I've felt free to make up some of the details of his first 161 years. I didn't make up his Personal Space, mind you; that's deuterocanonical (etherlad was the first to tell me about it, and he had it from Andrew Bates himself).

I'll admit it's a little masturbatory self-indulgent to have byplay with him, but the way I imagine the Beacon Mal, he wouldn't let a little thing like being fictional stop him speaking his mind, even to his author. Remember when Ahab says he'd strike the sun if it insulted him?
