TM #321 - Cool

[nerdherdchuck]

I never was one of the cool kids. Bryce on the other hand? Yeah, he fit that profile. He was the good looking guy who could have any girl he wanted. (And for awhile, I thought one of those girls was Jill, but she finally confessed that was a lie.)

Anyway...

Despite being that cool guy, Bryce did have some geeky interests. He could speak Klingon, he actually liked the old school computer games like Zork, and he knew about Everquest! I thought it was kinda strange a guy like him would be likely to hang around with a guy like me. But we did get along...until that whole accusing me of cheating thing. (Luckily, that matter was settled somehow so I did get to graduate, but I digress...)

So, yeah. Bryce was the cool one.

[Locked to those who know of his secret life.]

He was a real spy too. Maybe he was really training me all those years. Maybe those games of running around the library with suction cup guns was really just a spy training game. And maybe he learned about Zork just to make up the puzzle to protect the Intersect until I opened the file.

Still, despite some of the things he put me through, I miss him now. And now, I get what he was really trying to do - prepare me for this life once he realized I was kinda destined to become part of it. He at first tried to keep me away but then entrusted me with the Intersect. He knew I'd be able to use it and would do the right thing with it. [/locked]

But they know he would be loyal to you. It is not fair.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

No, it's not.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I should talk about hiring him for security? After all, if he is a civilian, then he is free to take any job he wants and he is more than qualified for it.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

He might actually take a job like that.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

It would certainly be more in line with his training and it would certainly help me to have someone with his experience.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and he could actually beat up people. Now Big Mike says he can't beat up Jeff and Lester anymore when they get out of line.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Yes, he could. And toss them out on their ears, too.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Oh, easily.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

And he would certainly enjoy it.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Oh, probably.
