*** Slash has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
[Steel] Kid, why the hell are you here:
* Diamondback 's eyes fade into their normal blue and green colors before he closes them, trying to shut out Steel's remarks
[Steel] You aren't even MADE of the stuff my ASS is.  *shoves him back out of line* Go home!
* Spirit is glad that she doesn't give any signs when she uses psionics.
[GarlandJR] Sir, I want to follow in the steps of my father, sir!
