IM issue resolved. Suggest rdvous pt, that I may beat you soundly for being such a loudmouthed little nitwit?

Because we never really know each other as well as we think, in response to this post I'd like you to ask a question. Anything about which you are curious, anything you feel you ought to know about me. Silly, serious, personal, fannish. Ask away. Then copy this to your own journal, and see what people don't know about you.
The last part is not required, but feel free to do so if you wish. You're also free to ask multiple questions. Make sure that the questions are IC.
Feel free to ask anything of all my characters:

paintfromlife

questdreamer
smallestlamb
littlestosborn
queen_goblin
...and any of the ones not listed.

It gets pried out of him during one of those mandatory monthly therapy sessions.
"So what you're saying, Mr. Osborn, is that you're unhappy with how your life is right now." Tap-tap-tap goes the doctor's pen against his clipboard. "Have you considered trying to fix that?"
...has he? "My life, or the unhappiness with it?"
"Either one." A calm, bland smile. "Or both, even."
"I've..." Well, Hell. "You can't just say it's that easy. We both know the circumstances, here --"
"Of course. But you still have leeway for personal initiatives, even so."
"Such as?"
"That would be up to you." He flips through his papers. "It was.... Doctor Mereii, with S.H.I.E.L.D.... who recommended that you take up painting? Art therapy? Did you ever pursue that?"
"No. The situation got, ah... complicated, soon after. I can't say I really see myself as the painterly sort, anyway."
"Writing? You published a book, a few years ago..."
"Ghostwritten. I considered writing science fiction as a boy, but it never worked out."
"Scientific pursuits? I know you've arranged for Doctor Octavius to continue some of his studies here, monitored of course..."
"I'm not curing cancer for you." But he's considering it. Or something similar. Personal initiatives... "Something business-related?"
The doctor looks surprised, and a bit bemused. "I'm not the one to clear that with. But I'd have thought that this job was enough paperwork for you."
"Heh." He leans over, to reach his mug of coffee. "Point, though." He sips, contemplative. "I'll think on it? Anything's better than just sitting here and watching myself stagnate. If I do submit any kind of proposal, I hope I can count on your word in on the good it would do me?"
"That depends on the contents of said proposal, I think." Naturally, a testimony along the lines of 'you should allow my patient to try to kill Director Stark, he needs the exercise' wouldn't really fly. "But I'll make it known that you're interested in doing something, and that it's my professional opinion is that some kind of activity outside of your job would be beneficial?"
"Mmn. Fair enough." He glances at his watch. Hour almost up... "Until next week, doctor?"
"Until next week, Mr. Osborn."

[- OOC: Hiatus Announcement -]
I mentioned this a couple days ago, on IRC, but now I'm making it official.
For a variety of reasons (all my own, and not the fault of any other player or players) I'm going to be taking a break from RPing, and from IRC, for an uncertain amount of time. Probably, it won't be longer than a couple weeks -- long enough for me to get my head back on straight, and figure out how to make things fun again.
My apologies to anyone this leaves hanging, and with any luck, it won't take too long.

Could someone please contact me when this latest Nexus effect has worn off?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Norman knows full well he's a terrible person, on almost every level. But that, still, doesn't mean he can't try and at least do his job to the best of his (occasionally hindered) abilities. And that includes checking up on, and taking care of, his 'employees.'
So down to the medical wing he's going, today, to see Otto. And have a nice little chat.

Some of you might be Nexus-veteran enough to remember a couple years ago, when I started drawing little tiny chibi icons for myself and other persons on D_M. Unfortunately, I burned out pretty quickly, just doing them for anyone that asked. But I've been asked a lot since then, when/whether I might start making them again.
Well, it's been a while (understatement!), and I've decided to do just that. With, of course, a catch -- this time, I'm charging.
Not much, mind. Just a dollar for the basic treatment, with extras up from there. But, y'know. If anyone would like a cute little OOC icon, it might be a nice thing to consider.
Pricing is as follows:
Basic icon fitting whatever description you give me, with or without text - one dollar. (The linked one belongs tosome_thing_. Please don't take it.)
*.psd (or *.xcf) file of the icon, all layers intact and editable - one dollar.
500x500 (possibly larger) *.png file of the figure in the icon (and any accessories, backgrounds, etc created in the vector program), suitable for making your own icon from - one dollar.
*.svg file (the vector 'source' file, with all the layers and little cheats I use to make the figure look good) - two dollars.
Additional figures - a dollar more for each.
Complicated scenes - depends on the scene, probably no more than a dollar or two.
I take Paypal (account name = shaladox (at) gmail.com), and will happily icon/art-trade.

If anyone happens to see Hermes, could they please be so kind as to tell him that I'd like to talk to him? Thank you.
[- paper journal entry, backdated to before Hermes's confession -]
It went over. He asked questions but I said it was Hermes and he didn't call me on it. Either it went over, or he's trying to trap me. But I think it's the former. Which means [the writing wavers here, for a few moments] capabilties are far less than I though.
[carefully written, with heavy strokes that seem to indicate effort being taken to not ruin the lettering] No sight, audio questionable. Other senses not very useful for monitoring. Emotional state definitely, bodily state possible. Thoughs and intentions...
I still can't say. I still --
But there are ways. There's more than I thought I had. Thank God.
