That sounds about right.

[Have a transformer to make it worse.] What's a Platypus? It sounds like a disease.

[candace-flynn.livejournal.com]

Great!

So it's not just me...

Okaaay.... Maybe you want to get your robot out of the way so I can see you.

[quidditch-stag.livejournal.com]

Hey, you've just joined. I've been here over a year!

[candace-flynn.livejournal.com]

So it's been going on longer in England?

[quidditch-stag.livejournal.com]

I'm technically not in England but no. People just join at different times. From all over the place.

[candace-flynn.livejournal.com]

You mean that other worlds thing? Aliens?

[He crosses his arms, looking irritated.] Cybertronian, not robot.

[candace-flynn.livejournal.com]

Sure. Whatever.

Cyber-thingee.

Well, a platypus is a furry semi-aquatic animal that doesn't do much.

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

It could be worse. If she could see it, it would probably mean she was on here or would be joining soon.

[candace-flynn.livejournal.com]

But that would be good! Then she'd see ... something!

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, but then she'd see everything. I don't know many people who'd want their parents to be able to see everything they do even just on this.

I have a name, skinjob. It's Knock Out.

What do you want one of those for then?

[candace-flynn.livejournal.com]

.... Well, I don't want her reading my diary but I still need justification!

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Look at it this way: you're probably not going crazy if your brother can see it, too. Eventually you get used to just... working around it when it causes problems.

[candace-flynn.livejournal.com]

Knock Out? I guess that fits.

I'm Candace and I don't want a platypus. He belongs to my brothers but he keeps getting in my room and I keep tripping over him!

[candace-flynn.livejournal.com]

My brothers see everything they do as well but then my mom thinks I'm crazy because she sees nothing!

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

If you don't bring it up around her again, she'll probably forget about it. It's not as if it's some sort of major disaster.

[candace-flynn.livejournal.com]

But I have to tell her. I have to bust my brothers one day!

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

... Why, are they doing something wrong?

[ video ]

[deadlydoctor.livejournal.com]

I think it does, indeed. [He smiles.]

Throw him out.

[ video ]

[candace-flynn.livejournal.com]

He just gets into everything!

So I guess you're supposed to be one of those aliens.

[candace-flynn.livejournal.com]

Every day!

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

... And you can't tell her about this without the community?
