I may have to seize the cat.

Also intriguing: Mel's possible acrophobia. What's her childhood trauma, ay?

I read this agoraphobia and was all... "She's not afraid of open spaces, is she? There was no indication at all!" then I re-read it, and now it makes sense.

...the new beagle ate me yesterday. She thinks I'm a puppy. It was the opposite of fun.

Art Crawl!!!

Is acrophobia fear of heights?

Because I have that!!

Also, lilserf -- you know about the VM dvds coming out in October, right? Read about them here.

Lucy: Do you have pantophobia? Maybe you have pantophobia?
Charlie Brown: Pantophobia? What's that?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Sounded more like arborphobia to me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sounded more like arborphobia to me.

Fear of sitting under grapevines?

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I think it's more dislike of physical activity/the great outdoors than fear of heights. As one of my grad school friends put it, "I prefer to stay on my side of the nature/culture divide, thanks."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I only know TV FBI, but I would assume you're gonna have more physical activity than the average desk monkey. Scully would shake her head sadly.

Hey, it's a made up word, it can mean whatever I want it to mean.

It was in a tree, people. There's, like, bugs and spiders and dirt and god only knows what other icky stuff.

Yeah, good thing there's none of that at ground level.
