(And lots of backstory, not just stuff that doesn't make sense. I'm also looking forward to being able to take shots at JP's really, really sucky kids. Yes, we have a six-year-old telepath and a seven-year-old Eraser, but at the core? They're still young kids. Angel should not have memories of the School -- she was fucking two when they left. Maybe she's absorbed memories from the other kids, I don't know. But she shouldn't have her own conscious memories of the place.)

Some of the stuff I chalk up to special weird shit surrounding the flock. (The cages thing, dear God.) The rest of the stuff... probably government-funded, free of most ethical concerns, I don't blame them for going to town.
(I used to be better at over looking that sort of stuff, but now it's like hole, hole, hole. It's nice when you can clear them up a bit though. In that case though, I'd say learned lessons. It was something referred to with such terror by the rest of her family that any remnants of memories she might have would be blown out of proportion.)

Well, left to your own devices, completely unmonitored, with the freedom to do whatever you wanted, basically, in the name of science. Can you really blame them?
(Ari, it kind of makes sense -- for fuck's sake, for all we know he was half-raised by werewolves. Angel, though... yeah, that would be my impression. [Though I always sort of got the impression that the School was Something We Just Don't Talk About with the flock].)

And that makes it a dream job.
(Yeah, and well, he stayed at the school, so he would of course have memories of some sort. Angel, that's the only thing that makes sense [That in itself would have made an impression. You know it was some place terrible, and no one wants to fill you in. You have vague impressions of cages, and erasers, and men like Jeb. Make of that what you will with a child's vivid imagination])

Yuss :D

Edit: That was my 1111th post. I feel like I should make a wish or something...
(And that's one of the things I'm... kind of looking forward to writing, even though it's going to be horribly sad. Let me say in advance that Prescott is a dick. [I would imagine it taking on fairy-tale dimensions as a Very Scary Place. And Angel was so young when they left that, maximally, I would credit her with a lingering conditioning to fear the smell of disinfectant and other sensory triggers that mean "the School" to her.])
(*is prepared for that* Kinda got that impression from his brief appearances earlier. Eh, horribly sad is often wonderfully good as well. At least, I find it is *is also a sucker for tragedy* Actually, I'm a sucker for most genres, as long as it's well written, and sometimes that's not even necessary... [*nods*])
(Yeah :C I do need to do some sort of fleshing-out of Prescott at some point. And I am a horrible sucker for fluff, though I did enjoy angst way, way too much at a point far in my fangirl past [okay, so like four years ago].)

Aaaaand it's two in the morning, I should really be going to bed for a while. Good night.
(That would fit in with the resolution of basement plot, no? [Four years ago is a long time in fandom time])

Goodnight, Nathan. Sleep well.
*hugs* *gives tea*
o.o Why?

*hugs*
Oh wow *wince* Well... I don't know what to say, but I'm sending my good vibes your way, y'hear?
I have nil experience with deaths in the family -- the two I've experienced, one I was about six, and the other I'd never met the guy -- so everything I say comes out awkward and feels vaguely jerkish. But *loves you forevers*
