Room 405 MOnday night.

Billy stripped off his shirt and pants, sitting on the edge of the bed in just his boxers. Carefully, he undid the straps holding his prosthetic leg in place, removing it gingerly, before setting it beside his bed.

Then, sitting up strait, his remaining leg tucked underneath him, he closed his eyes and began to breathe rhythmically. He'd found in recent years that a bit of meditation before bed helped him sleep.

doors closed but knockable. Open to all, specially roomie

"WOW! You dont' have a leg either?"

Schrodinger's voice cut through the quiet. Anyone, and I mean anyone would have sworn he wasn't there before.

Billy opened his eye, his meditation having gone too well so far for him to act as surprised as he might normally. Where'd he come from? Must be a cat thing.

"Nope." he said. "Lost it at the same time I lost my eye."

"What's that like?" Schro asked.

Billy blinked. "What's, what like?"

"Having only one leg."

"Oh, well, it took some getting used to obviously. But I've been trained as a ninja, and I also got this prosthetic that makes it almost seem as if I have two."

He lifted the stump of his leg (about six inches below the hip I think). "Sometimes it's as if I can still feel my leg."

"You're a ninja? Cool. What does your ninja training let you do?"

"Blindfighting, balance, acrobatics, even with the prosthetic. Martial arts and stealth of course." He decided to leave out the part about forseeing his own near death. That was a bit too close to his real story and he wasn't ready to tell that yet. It was, technically, still classified.

"And meditation."

"Huh," Schrodinger said. "So nothing particularly mystic?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Depends on how you define anything regarding meditation. I was told that when you're really intune with yourself, you'll know the moment you're about to die."
