Welcome! You have entered [Neutral Grounds] at 1:41 pm
[ Ivy ]: Try to always stay in character. (Use parentheses for out-of-character chats.)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (When she finally performs in America, she wants to be 'cool'.)
[ Chase ]: (I used to have Chase in Burberry... because old people like Burberry... but then I worked at Burberry... and I no longer can stand that brand.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (That's cool actually. But I think Anja's normal style will be cool in America too.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Ms. Ivy.
[ Ivy ]: Hey.
[ Ivy ]: We talkin' clothes?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (we'll need to find you a new brand name for Chase)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Yup
[ Carmen ]: (No brand for Chase, I believe... a custom cut from Saville Row should do nicely.)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Right. But Anja doesn't have a high self-esteem.)
[ Chase ]: (Are you kidding? Do you know how much a suit there costs?)
[ Carmen ]: (A mere fraction of your Patek Philippe watch.)
[ Ivy ]: (I saw a red Burberry trench that was very 'Carmen Sandiego.')
[ Carmen ]: (Or go to Italy, pick a tailor, and get your a-frame cut?)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (I fail to understand why a watch would cost more than a car.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (maybe it can be a part of Chase's new image for DO)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Well, Anja... just to let you know you already have great style.
[ Chase ]: (Makes more sense if it's a random tailor)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (Chase should seriously do Saville Row. It's so him. He and Chief and go to the same guy.)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *scrunches and blushes* Takk, Mr. Dan.
[ Chase ]: (I'll think about Saville Row)
[ Carmen ]: (There's no other place I would trust a man to get a suit.)
[ Carmen ]: (Also, one could get a custom made tie, brilliantly crafted.)
[ Chase ]: (You're cute.)
[Neutral Grounds]: Kidman has entered at 1:48 pm
[ Chase ]: Kidman, welcome back.
[ Chase ]: Computer problems?
[ Carmen ]: Hello darling.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Kidman.
[ Kidman ]: You could say that.
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has entered at 1:49 pm
[ Ivy ]: Hey Kidman.
[ Kidman ]: Hey DA
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei hei!
[ EarlJr ]: hey hey hey
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *giggles*
[ Kidman ]: So guys...if I've been chewing on any of you, I'm sorry.
[ Carmen ]: Hello Mr. Grovington.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Mr. G!
[ Chase ]: Aw, Kidman, thanks. Not that I speak for Bran... but if he was here, he'd have a tear in his eye.
[ Chase ]: Come on, have a seat.
[ EarlJr ]: I'm touched
[ Ivy ]: Turned over a new leaf, Kid?
[ Kidman ]: i dunno...
[ Ivy ]: Hey Eugene.
[ Kidman ]: I just realized how angry I am.
[ Kidman ]: I'm taking it out on everyone.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Mr. Bran?
[ Kidman ]: Not so much Bran as Gunnar.
[ Kidman ]: Bran's a whole different thing.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Why Mr. Bran and Mr. Svensson?
[ Kidman ]: Because they bother me. Or scare me.
[ Kidman ]: Deric sometimes too.
[ EarlJr ]: ...scare you?
[ Carmen ]: It's natural to push fear away with contempt.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: How are they three scary?
[ Kidman ]: Gunnar's...weird. I can't put my finger on it.
[ Chase ]: It also sounds really logical when written in red text...
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Chase, that was classic.)
[ Chase ]: I have to agree a little... Gunnar has his moments of "Kill all the Russians"... but they're tiny. Might not be obvious enough for you to put your finger on.
[ Kidman ]: Bran has this creepy thing going, but mainly he just bothers me.
[ Kidman ]: I don't like facades.
[ Kidman ]: I think that's it.
[ EarlJr ]: right
[ Chase ]: Agreed on that too... (But Connie admits she hasn't built Bran so well yet.) But Bran should get better as he grows.
[ Kidman ]: I want to take it off somehow.
[ Kidman ]: And it's like, I feel insulted they'd try to pull that one me.
[ Chase ]: (Anja -- heh heh)
[ Kidman ]: Or something.
[ Kidman ]: And I'm jealous because they CAN.
[ Chase ]: But you have to know, people with facades put the mask there becuase they're afraid too.
[ Chase ]: *some people
[ EarlJr ]: oh no, not you too
[ Chase ]: I can't speak for everybody or I sound like an after school special.
[ Kidman ]: What's your deal, Euge?
[ Kidman ]: ...sorry.
[ Kidman ]: I can't hide anything, so I'm just a wiseass.
[ Kidman ]: I'm angry I'm a wise ass.
[ Kidman ]: I'm also angry that I look like mini frankenstien, that Master stole thats stupid tower, and that I can't anything worth a damn.
[ Kidman ]: So there's that.
[ Chase ]: That's fine. A lot of people are angry she stole that tower.
[ Kidman ]: Sorry Master.
[Neutral Grounds]: Emmesey-Squire has entered at 2:00 pm
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Miss Carmen stole not any tower!
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs* No offense taken, of course.
[ Kidman ]: And always I feel like there's something waiting to grab me and lock me away.
[ Kidman ]: Lock me back where I came from.
[ Chase ]: Is that something ACME?
[ EarlJr ]: boo
[ Kidman ]: No... that something is worse.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: actually technically it was Flag and Vic that stole it
[ Chase ]: Em, come in.
[ Kidman ]: Hey MC.
[ Carmen ]: Yes, Flag and Vincent.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: Hey.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Carmen was busy getting chased in Luxemburg
[ Ivy ]: Something to you scarier than ACME?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hear it, Kid? Flag and Mr. Slick sotle the tower.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *stole
[ Kidman ]: have you guys looked at me?
[ Kidman ]: People don't have grey hair when they look like kids.
[ Carmen ]: I was busy distracting ACME, for the most part.
[ Kidman ]: They also don't have werid scars everywhere.
[ Kidman ]: And there's other stuff.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: And? We're VILE. There's nothing about us that is conventional
[ Chase ]: I think the grey hair looks nice on you.
[ Chase ]: But if you don't like it, why not dye it?
[ Kidman ]: ....the dye won't take...
[ Chase ]: Really?
[ Kidman ]: And then it just falls out.
[ Kidman ]: pulls out clump.
[ Kidman ]: I think I was made in a lab.
[ Kidman ]: There. I said it.
[ Chase ]: Don't take it so seriously, though. Everyone in VILE has something.
[ Kidman ]: Somehow I got out.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Heheh. I think Gunnar has made that joke, yeah?)
[ Kidman ]: (Yeah, she wasn't pleased.;-p)
[ Kidman ]: It sounds stupid, I know, but...
[ Kidman ]: I feel it.
[ EarlJr ]: does that mean we can call you Frank?
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has left at 2:05 pm
[ Kidman ]: I'd rather igor.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: NO!
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: Igor is finnier
[ Kidman ]: ...I like Igor.
[ EarlJr ]: true, that is more fitting
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: funnier
[ Ivy ]: Well... Carmen isn't into slashing bodies, so where do you think you came from?
[ Kidman ]: Some experiment.
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has entered at 2:07 pm
[ Kidman ]: Scientists....
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Nei.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Damn scientists.
[ Carmen ]: (That's a sign)
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: Who knows maybe she is one of mine
[ Carmen ]: (I dread to leave so soon, but I've a frivolous night of European mingling to conduct.)
[ Chase ]: (That sounds sarcastic.)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *goes to hug Kidman* You were born as a good children, as all other persons.
[ Kidman ]: (Says Carmen Sandiego)
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: (good luck)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei da, Miss Carmen!
[ Kidman ]: I wasn't born, Anja.
[ Carmen ]: (As sarcastic as the word can get)
[ Carmen ]: (Do have a lovely day.)
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has left at 2:08 pm
[ Ivy ]: Bye Carmen.
[ Chase ]: (Take care)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Later Carmen.
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has left at 2:08 pm
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has entered at 2:09 pm
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *squeezes.* Nei. You were born.
[ Kidman ]: ...
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: How is that any different
[ Kidman ]: I'd rather not kid myself.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Why is your name Kid if you were not born?
[ Kidman ]: Because I didn't have a name. people just said, 'there's that kid'.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: pats Kidman's back and then goes around the room to hug everyone.
[ Chase ]: Born, created... named... it all starts somewhere.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: Yup.
[ Chase ]: *To Anja* Another hug?
[ Kidman ]: To be honest, I don't really care.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei da, Mr. Chase; Ivy; Mr. Dan; Eugene; Sarah; MC.
[ Kidman ]: I'm more concerned with going back.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: It is a 'hei da' hug.
[ Kidman ]: I'd rather die than go bck.
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has entered at 2:12 pm
[ Kidman ]: *back
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Oh! I must hug Mr. Detective now! *laughs*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: But you're not really sure where that is.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: hugs Deric.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Or who 'created' you.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: So how can you be sure it was lab?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei da, all! Vi snakkes snart!
[ Kidman ]: I know....
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Maybe you were dying and they were trying to save your life?
[ EarlJr ]: so for all you know, you might already be 'back'
[ Kidman ]: I can't.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Deric.
[ Ivy ]: Welcome to the party, Storm.
[ Kidman ]: ...wait, what?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Happy Europe Day to you guys, heh.)
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: I would think if they wanted you back they would've tried already.
[ Chase ]: That's true, what Euge said.
[ Kidman ]: I don't follow.
[Neutral Grounds]: Anja_Larsdotter has left at 2:14 pm
[ Kidman ]: Master made me?
[ EarlJr ]: maybe
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: Hah!
[ EarlJr ]: who knows?
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: I doubt that.
[ Kidman ]: I think she would have done a better job.
[ DericStorm->Ivy ]: I miss anything earh-shattering?
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: Carmen is many things but a genecist she is not.
[ Chase ]: For all you know, some scientist in VILE could have made you.
[ Kidman ]: Also, I wouldn't have this horrible sense of dread.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: Hell I could've done it for all you know.
[ Chase ]: Maybe that scientist is working against VILE and is waiting to activate you when you're skilled and ready.
[ EarlJr ]: you said yourself you don't know, so how can you dismiss any line of speculation?
[ Chase ]: know, it's a cold war theory, but I like my Russian gimicks)
[ Kidman ]: Again, they did a crappy job.
[ Kidman ]: In all truth, anything is possible.
[ EarlJr ]: prototype
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: Or maybe that's what they want you to think.
[ Kidman ]: All I know is that it's something bad.
[ Kidman ]: I get these...not flashback...
[ Kidman ]: like...visions?
[ EarlJr ]: ominous
[ Kidman ]: Like a blurry flashback.
[ Ivy->DericStorm ]: Ha, not really. Kidman did say she apologises for being mean to Bran, Gunnar and You.
[ Ivy->DericStorm ]: And she thinks it's because she's made in a lab. Thus the current convo.
[ Kidman ]: That sense that you have to be watching, like when you;re playing a video game where stuff jumps out.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ...like dreams?
[ Kidman ]: Yeah!
[ DericStorm->Ivy ]: :weird:
[ Kidman ]: But sometimes they happen when I'm awake.
[ Ivy->DericStorm ]: Want me to send it to you?
