[QUOTE="Rhialto, post: 3397720, member: 630"] Maddy frowns. [COLOR=Magenta]"Yeah. Because I was born purple and glowing, and able to lift over a thousand tons." [/COLOR] She crosses her arms. [COLOR=Magenta]"Except I wasn't. I wound up this way when a classmate of mine decided it would be fun if he and his friends rampaged through the school and I got shot by his weird super-ray gun. Well, most of the people who got shot by it wound up in the hospital, but I was a special case. I hurt like hell for a moment, and then I started glowing."[/COLOR] She leans forward. [COLOR=Magenta]"And if you think I was always as well-adjusted on the subject of being a freak as I am now, then let me disillusion you--no, I wasn't, but I learnt to get over myself, and deal with the fact that I'm better off this way. Because let me tell you something--do you know what despair really is? It's waking up, day after day, in a place you hate, and knowing you'll never escape it, because you have [I]nothing [/I] that will let you get out. And that is something I don't feel anymore."[/COLOR] Adjusting her glasses, she sits back down. [COLOR=Magenta]"You know, as hard as you may find it to believe, Al, it could be worse. Your Mad Scientist could have been incompetent, and so instead of winding up super-strong, you wound up dead, or just crippled. So don't ask me to feel sorry for you, or play nursemaid 'cause you got a boo-boo. I gave up on emo two years ago. As for being "nice"--I spent over a decade trying to live up to other people's expectations and failing. These days the world can damn well accept me as I am, or get bent. No, I'm not nice, I'm not pleasant, and I'm not polite. But I get the job done."[/COLOR] Having said this, Maddy proceeds to take a deep breath, and shut her eyes. [/QUOTE]
