.026 - it's still snowing guys

[onceandfutureprat]

The decorations are gone [Thank God]. How long does it take for the snow to disappear?

[Private to Gwaine]

My Inmate would like me to inform you that she is not a stupid baby.

[Private to Cass]

We talked. [That's generous but they are pretty much okay again :c]

[bodilesswarrior]

Have you done anything with it?

[onceandfutureprat]

With the snow?

[bodilesswarrior]

Yeah. Last I looked, there were a few feet in the CES.

[onceandfutureprat]

I don't frequent the CES much. [It still makes him uncomfortable.]

[bodilesswarrior]

[A slight nod.] I still haven't figured out how it works. [The frustration is clear in her voice.]

It's - nice, though, getting out for a bit, even if it is an illusion.

[onceandfutureprat]

It's the fact that no one seems to be able to control it that I'm not fond of.

[bodilesswarrior]

I think we do control it, to an extent. Or - we influence it, anyway.

[onceandfutureprat]

What makes you say that?

[bodilesswarrior]

When it shifts, it's to places I recognise. I can only imagine it's using my memories.

[onceandfutureprat]

The few times I've been there, I haven't recognized anything.

[bodilesswarrior]

Interesting. ...It might just be - my memory, it's...different, than most peoples'.

[onceandfutureprat]

How so?

Private

[bodilesswarrior]

It's called photographic. When I see something, anything, it's stored in my mind forever.

Private

[onceandfutureprat]

Is that... magic? [Just asking, trying not to judge :c]

Private

[bodilesswarrior]

[Her eyes widen.]

It - no.

[But then she pauses, looking pensive.] ...I've never considered that, actually. For all I know it could be. It's definitely rare.

[That's - well, that's kind of disconcerting.]

Private

[onceandfutureprat]

What would you call it then?

Private

[bodilesswarrior]

A quirk of brain structure. What exactly is different, I don't know. Maybe the amygdala modulates memory more efficiently, maybe the right prefrontal cortex is stronger, so on and so forth.

Private

[onceandfutureprat]

[Yep, he doesn't know what those are. And it's obvious.]

Of course.

Private

[bodilesswarrior]

[Barbara grins.] We've learned a lot about the body, since your time. You could take advantage.

Re: Private

[onceandfutureprat]

Advantage how?

Private

[bodilesswarrior]

You could learn things that most people at home wouldn't.

[Her demeanor shifts. She seems older, suddenly, worn and hardened by the world.]

Knowledge is power, Your Highness.

[onceandfutureprat]

Arthur is fine.

[He's currently trying to struggle through world history, and science is totally why he employs Gaius.]

I have a skilled physician for that.

Private

[bodilesswarrior]

Is your physician likely to tell you the most efficient places to strike someone?

Private

[onceandfutureprat]

He doesn't have to. I already know that. [Trained to kill since birth, what]

Private

[bodilesswarrior]

Do you know what a nerve cluster is?
