RE: Weird Power Appearance

Can you hear crickets in the next county? Are you able to now sing the entire works of Verdi even though you don't know Italian? Able to touch your eyeball with your tongue? Check in with Bridge Carson as soon as possible. An epidemic of weird abilities has broken out on campus, and while so far none of them are painful or harmful, we'd like to know what's causing it. At this point, Bridge has done an aura check on at least two people, and determined that yeah, even though the abilities are wackily dissimilar, they've at least got the same cause. We're hoping to find out if it's a spell or Fandom's version of El Nino by comparing other people who are suffering from the same ailments.

So if you could help us out, or point people who've recently started being able to detach their arms, sneeze like a hurricaine, or taste the color purple toward Bridge? That'd be great. And if any I-Club members have suggestions on how to investigate this, please reply to this email.

Thanks.

Parker

Am typing w/ pen that is STUCK TO MY HAND.

I WILL KILL WHOEVER DID THIS TO ME.

New. And odd. Animals stick to Bridge-- why are pens sticking to you?

Ever encountered anything weird enough in the alien database of bizarre to account for any of this?

And maybe it's just a magic virus? We can hope.

Pen stuck to hand. Maybe sticky hands. Nothing else sticky--ex., my elbow is fine, shoulder, hips too. HATE THIS.

Started in ACJ. Not alien to my knowledge.

Going to make eating a problem. BIG ONE.

This reminds me that we should make a chart, tracking when this stuff started for each person. Maybe a graph.

Sorry? Maybe you can just dunk your head in a bucket of popcorn? Or get Idiot Boy someone to feed you?

RE: Weird Power Appearance

Good idea. Would volunteer if I COULD TYPE.

Popcorn =/= nutritionally sound. Think I know 'someone' who can help.

Stupid hands.

RE: Weird Power Appearance

Is it just pens, or are other things sticking to your hands?

And if they are, *don't* touch your face! Or any other part of your body.

Hope 'someone' isn't busy for lunch, and that any other problems are avoided.

RE: Weird Power Appearance

No clue. Refusing to touch anything else. Face or hair or whatever is why. Of course you realize this means I'll be touching something at the worst possible moment.

Can't call 'someone' yet. Ack. Can't use phone. He better have office hours.

RE: Weird Power Appearance

Gloves? Although then they'd probably be semi-permanently attached. But if you don't stick to things through the gloves, at least you'd be able to open doors and eat.

Want me to call 'someone'? Just so 'someone' knows?

[janet_fraiser]

RE: Weird Power Appearance

Surgical gloves an option. If pen can come off. How? No clue.

Still sticky.

I think 'someone' will be around later. Will try first. If not; will knock on your door. With forehead.

Good luck. And I'll leave the door open, and try to spare your head.

No problem. When did yours show up, btw? And what is it, if it's not too embarassing?

I'll track down Bridge. I've been randomly turning water into NyQuil since last Thursday.

I'll refrain from making any Messiah jokes. Around here, it might attract attention from the wrong quarters. And thanks for the date-stamp on that. I don't think it started earlier than Monday or so last week, but it would be nice to be sure.

Do you like chicken? Would you like to be tasting it in every food or drink item you touch for a week? If so, welcome to my personal hell....

A week? God. Definitely get it checked out by Bridge. I guess it could be worse, but I'll buy you a strawberry margarita when it wears off.

RE: Weird Power Appearance

O.K., maybe not a week yet, but it feels like it. Started in Art class Friday afternoon and shows no sign of wearing off. Lorne's already offered me free drink at Caritas once I'm better, since my last Seabreeze tasted like chilled chiken broth.

Once I'm over this I am never touching anything chicken again for as long as I live.

No magical powers on me. However, I quote my subject, WTF? Oh, and I guess Faithful and I can see if there's anything we might spot. Or something. Did you feed my cat shrimp?

Sure, check in with Bridge. And if you can get Janet's hand off her head? Bonus.

Why, did he say I did?

I can try? Has she tried soap and water? Possibly some paint thinner?

He's being smug. And he mentioned that he ran into you and Bel. And...that's it. Please let it be just shrimp.

Yeah, I'm not thinking I'll suggest that to her. You do it.

Ohhh. I only fed him shrimp. But I can't speak for Bel.

Tell him thanks again, though.

I don't actually know who Bridge is, but I'll try and work it out. I never want to see another tortilla, and I really can't afford to lose anymore textbooks because of this.

I'm not sure who Bridge is, but I'll try to find him. This whole thing is making me crazy. Everytime I taste something - anything - I can identify it immediately - right down to it's chemical composition. Makes eating and ... other things... kind of problematic.

You guys know mine and Bridge has already fingerwiggled me, but for the record as far as I can tell it showed up on Wednesday.
