@shinobi Sadly, @aporetic and I will always have your back when it comes to Scilon references. 😀

While we’re at it, OSDM is clearly OSA amirite?

[CrystalParticipant]

As a complete aside, in chatting with the parking lot attendant after we had been unceremoniously returned by the black van, we found out that a recent participant (maybe over the weekend?) had either tried to or had successfully punched Simon.

If I find out which one of you cunts popped Simon in the mouth… *cracks knuckles*

[CrystalParticipant]

@hazelcloud He was definitely serious, even if he didn’t get Clint’s name right at first. (I think he tried to call him Cliff.)

As to what that means? It’s hard to tell. Maybe he’s trying to pawn some of the more egregious Ascension experiences off of the OOA and on to the Hollywood patsies?

[CrystalParticipant]

Nothing to see here.

[CrystalParticipant]

@samson was quite kind to me last night as well, and he has a lovely singing voice.

Should I mention that he showed me where the OOA building is?

[CrystalParticipant]

@shinobi Depending on who might be above Samson on the org chart, I lean towards likening Samson to more of a Marty Rathbun type, really. The enforcer, the right hand man. The guy that *really* likes wielding his power, although he’s not a believer or exactly the true HBIC. Of course, that’s not much different than being a DM-type, either. I wonder who Samson fed pinks and greys to get his position…

[CrystalParticipant]

Sigh… some people’s children…

[CrystalParticipant]

@shinobi – After seeing what @masterlock was put through last night for @samson‘s (and assuming @aporetic‘s and my own) amusement, let me assure you. Overseer is not your target. Addison is still in there, and she needs your help.

Target the OSDM.

[CrystalParticipant]

Fair enough. I found myself in the critic movement around early 2008, but my partner @aporetic has been causing trouble and getting in car chases with Scilon goons for a decade before that.

Pleased to make your acquaintance.

[CrystalParticipant]

My partner had met Sentinel during our first visit and Samson during his second, though neither of us have encountered a doctor. I’m glad that I was at least able to meet Samson on our third visit, though.

[CrystalParticipant]

This is the inaugural meeting of the Cool Kids Club, with three whole members! I wonder where we place on the org chart…

@blondiecamps Since you actually got to remain in the building, how was Overseer acting after her 20 minute punishment with the helmet?

[CrystalParticipant]

Go on…

[CrystalParticipant]

@shinobi Are you Chanology or OG? We might know each other.

[CrystalParticipant]

I wouldn’t say that the third trip was a disappointment.

At first blush, it seemed that I had paid $250 for the honor of a 20 minute van/car ride with a 10 minute walk through. Needless to say, we were confused as fuck after waiting the ~20 minutes between being dropped off by the van and the arrival of the next one, only to be told to leave. We weren’t sure if we should drive back to the OOA now that we knew where it was, and knock on the door ourselves. However, we decided to honor the wishes of security and we went home.

In retrospect, I would have been disappointed if we had been admitted and processed normally for a third time. The plans that I had for our third trip were dashed on the rocks the night before by the successful Ascension, and by a familiar face in the third group.

Edit: Don’t let this deter you from returning a second or third time. Just keep in mind that any time you approach the OOA, expect the unexpected. Don’t get comfortable.

Thank you for showing me the truth, @samson.

@halfbloodfangirl Honestly? Do it anyway. We were left utterly confused as to what our role was during this third visit, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. It was definitely worth the trip to Boyle Heights to hang out with Samson.

Cleaners aside, who else can say that Samson bought them a drink and serenaded them in his car? Worth it.
