What exactly does it mean to "ground" someone? I can think of a few possibilities, but none seem likely.

[ooc: Cuddy mentioned it to her in passing; educate her.]

Because it's a stupid question.

[pandorabox]

It's a perfectly valid question.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't happen, and I hate hypotheticals.

[pandorabox]

Why do you hate hypotheticals?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

They're pointless.

[pandorabox]

No they're not.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

They are in this case. She'd never tell me I had to stop firebending, and even if she did, she'd know I wouldn't be able to comply.

[pandorabox]

Thanks for answering my hypothetical~

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I didn't.

And I'm not "grounded".

[pandorabox]

and even if she did, she'd know I wouldn't be able to comply.

Yes you did.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

That isn't a real answer.

[pandorabox]

Yes it is.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

No it isn't, Kaito!

This is ridiculous, anyway. I did not make this post to argue with you.

[pandorabox]

If you're saying it's not, then you have another answer in mind, right?

I didn't respond to argue with you.

... she doesn't have another answer in mind

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I'm not telling you what it is.

Then why did you respond?

... she totally answered his hypothetical XD

[pandorabox]

If it's not about you not complying with her request, are you saying you would let her ground you from firebending?

To explain grounding to you.

SHE WILL NEVER ADMIT IT

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I already told you that I'm not telling you.

No, you started off with a nosy question.

BUT SHE DID. HE FEELS SUCCESSFUL

[pandorabox]

If you say so.

I asked if you had been grounded. How is that nosy?

SO SMUG KAITO

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

How is it any of your business?

SMUG INDEED

[pandorabox]

You posted about it. There's nothing wrong with me asking about something you posted about.

HERE SMUG!KAITO, LET ME COMPLAIN AT YOU

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It sounds like a stupid way to punish people, anyway. And punishing someone for doing something that's akin to their job is even worse.

YOU'RE SO KIND AZU-BAKA

[pandorabox]

What were you doing that she tried to punish you for?

I KNOW RIGHT

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Blowing off steam by fighting the Joker. It's ridiculous. I got a bit cut up, and she's angry at me. And she vehemently dislikes the idea of me going into battle or holding a dangerous political position; it doesn't make any sense.

/LISTENS INTENTLY 8|;;;

[pandorabox]

Why doesn't it make sense? She's worried about you.

GOOD BOYYYY

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

But I'm competent. It's illogical to worry.
