I haven't talked about BIONICLE in school much, only mentioned stories I've written to my best friends. Never to just random (not entirely) people I don't know well. So of late, I've been talking to my friend about my SS, Confessions of a Dark Hunter, written about above. I mentioned to her today in English class that I had finished it, and so as we were talking, another girl was listening. It turns out she wants to read it and then another girl wanted to read it.

I'm thinkin', "You're not gonna understand, but okay." And I say it too. The one girl says in a joking way, "what?". Like, you think I can't read or something? Then I explain how there are lots of terms and lingo in this particular story that they wouldn't understand. But they want to read it anyway so I whipped out the copy I had with me and let her take a look.

First question, "What's a widget?" and then, "What's a Matoran?" After not too long, she hands it the other girl. I figure it might help to give a little background on the Dark Hunters. (I also explained Toa) I then explain how this is a criminal organization that does dirty work for people. They're like, "Hit men?" Then another guy pipes in (maybe he didn't hear), "Like hit men?"

It was kinda a funny experience...
