Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

Oy. I know I'm not well. I woke up sick early this morning. My arms are trembling. I know my PT has told me not to do krav. My ass is five shades of bruised from the session yesterday. I haven't eaten enough calories yet.

WHY IN GOD'S NAME AM I WAFFLING ABOUT CALLING IN SICK TO KRAV? Sure, it's the first time I'll have called in sick for the class I run, and sure, I wasn't there last week, but I guess I'm just that dumb.

The sooner I call, the better it'll be for them. And I have to call, because I can neither teach nor train.

Yup, that dumb.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

CALL IN SICK OR I WILL DO IT FOR YOU.

I was all "No you can't!" before I realised you totally can.

Before 4:15. I surely will.

It's 4:18 by my computer. Have you called in sick yet?

I called in sick (at 4:17).

I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I have a question from the article Plei linked to:

the end of the sixties when the Pill suddenly stood accused--wrongly--of causing blood clots, strokes, and heart attacks.

I thought risks of blood clots/strokes/heart attacks were still applicable. Is the risk just not as high as they originally thought 40 years ago?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.

I hope you're happy, too. I hope you're proud how you would grovel in submission, to feed your own ambition....

Sorry. It's in the CD player.

Jilli gets it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh, that reminds me, Jilli, do you know anything about The Corpse Bride? They had a preview for it at Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Looks rather interesting.
