Welcome! You have entered [Neutral Grounds] at 5:41 am
[ Kidman ]: -- Welcome! Please stay in character while in chat, (use parenthesis for Out Of Character messages). Also remember, this is the Internet, DO NOT give out personal information.
[ SwedishFish ]: (BEing a big Transformers fan, I was infuriated with the movies.)
[ DericStorm ]: (no, just thor and captain america)
[ SwedishFish ]: Hallo, Miss Kidman.
[ DericStorm ]: (I loved the first and third)
[ DericStorm ]: hey hey hey
[ Kidman ]: Hullo Candy, hullo Storm.
[ SwedishFish ]: Right. Gingerbread.
[ Kidman ]: Where's my colour?
[ Kidman ]: Oh, there it is.
[ SwedishFish ]: (I don't think they did the Transformers movies right.)
[ DericStorm ]: (actually, Marvel had 3 movies. I forgot about X-Men: First Class)
[ SwedishFish ]: (The whole "robots in disguise" thing was pointless to the plots.)
[ DericStorm ]: (Honestly, I thought they did a great job with the robots)
[ SwedishFish ]: (Right. But what good is being in disguise when everyone knows who you are?)
[ SwedishFish ]: (The robots were well-made, yes.)
[ DericStorm ]: (I thought the movies were a little more grounded in realism. I squealed like a little kid when Optimus spoke in the first film)
[ SwedishFish ]: (Heh. Optimus was one thing they got right.)
[ SwedishFish ]: (The thing that really bugged me was how invincible the robots were to human weapons, and yet Optimus could take them down with one shot or slice of his axe.)
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has entered at 5:46 am
[ EarlJr ]: hey everyone
[ SwedishFish ]: (They shot the crud out of Skorponok in the first one, and he still didn't die. I was almost screaming.)
[ SwedishFish ]: Hallo Kopter.
[ DericStorm ]: (Transformers movies are the epitome of popcorn flicks)
[ DericStorm ]: hey flyboy
[ EarlJr ]: (good mindless action)
[ DericStorm ]: (EXACTLY)
[ Kidman ]: Hey1
[ SwedishFish ]: (Heh. I like stories with my violence.)
[ DericStorm ]: (Me too, but sometimes "Me like Big Boom")
[ Kidman ]: (I have not seen these movies, so I can't comment.)
[ SwedishFish ]: How stands it with, Kopter?
[ EarlJr ]: uneventful
[ EarlJr ]: (I'm just being lazy about doing a post)
[ SwedishFish ]: Ja. And you are the one which got the action to destroy the tower?
[ Kidman ]: So that cat is out of the bag I see.
[ Kidman ]: Good.
[ SwedishFish ]: Cat?
[ DericStorm ]: secret's out
[ Kidman ]: How did you find out about the tower, Candy?
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ SwedishFish ]: What else could happen to it, Ginger?
[ EarlJr ]: I helped clean up that particular mess, yes
[ DericStorm ]: (For some reason, I'm thinking of the Mythbusters and the cement truck)
[ EarlJr ]: I do have to hand it to VILE on that one. They made a mess big enough that ACME couldn't magically 'make it right'
[ Kidman ]: Mr. Devineaux was keeping it a secret.
[ Kidman ]: I don't think that was the plan...
[ SwedishFish ]: I hang with Kopter here.
[ EarlJr ]: interesting definiton of secret, considering the Queen was right there watching.
[ SwedishFish ]: smirks.
[ Kidman ]: I know. And yet he was going to try and pin it on her anyway.
[ SwedishFish ]: She caused it, how indirect it was.
[ SwedishFish ]: He is correct.
[ EarlJr ]: and you're alleging she didn't have a hand in this chain of events?
[ Kidman ]: I didn't say that. I just didn't want Chase telling everyone that she directly blew it up.
[ EarlJr ]: any way you cut it, you aren't going to come out of this clean Kidman
[ EarlJr ]: and I doubt you'll ever hear Chase use those words
[ Kidman ]: Use what words?
[ SwedishFish ]: Boss would not say that Carmen blew it up.
[ Kidman ]: looks at Deric.
[ Kidman ]: You were there for that...right?
[ DericStorm ]: no
[ DericStorm ]: I was in Brazil
[ SwedishFish ]: ?
[ EarlJr ]: raises an eyebrow
[ Kidman ]: No, I mean the other day.
[ DericStorm ]: oh
[ DericStorm ]: i've had a few conversations this past week. i don't remember everything
[ Kidman ]: Well, it doesn't matter. As Mr. Euge said, Master was there. I'm sure she can easily refute such a thing.
[ EarlJr ]: if we allow her to
[ SwedishFish ]: Gingerbread, I trust you see things wrong. How is Carmen your master?
[ Kidman ]: Meh.
[ Kidman ]: You underestimate Master.
[ Kidman ]: ignores Candy's question.
[ SwedishFish ]: Everyone underestimates Carmen. How otherwise is she still free?
[ EarlJr ]: probably
[ EarlJr ]: the 6 P's
[ Kidman ]: 6 Ps?
[ EarlJr ]: Proper prior planning prevents poor performance
[ Kidman ]: Nifty.
[ EarlJr ]: (the clean version, anyways)
[ SwedishFish ]: What did you just say, Gingerbread?
[ Kidman ]: Nifty?
[ SwedishFish ]: Ja. What means that?
[ Kidman ]: Cool, or neat, or swell
[ SwedishFish ]: Heh.
[Neutral Grounds]: Chip_Masters has entered at 6:06 am
[ Kidman ]: Oh THAT's what I forgot to ask.
[ Kidman ]: And I had Master and Chase together too...
[ Kidman ]: Sorry Mr. Chip. I meant to ask Master about the kidnapping thing.
[ SwedishFish ]: ?
[ EarlJr ]: rolls his eyes at the obvious bait
[ Kidman ]: Well I said I would ask!
[ Chip_Masters ]: Not gonna say anything about that tonight
[ SwedishFish ]: VILE kidnapped Hailey.
[ Kidman ]: AGAIN?
[ Kidman ]: Oh...wait
[ EarlJr ]: let's let bygones be bygones.
[ DericStorm ]: (brb. my roommate's car died at the store. gotta go give him a boost)
[ Kidman ]: That was by accident.
[ EarlJr ]: (have fun with that Deric)
[ SwedishFish ]: had mentioned that to side-track Kidman.
[ Kidman ]: Guess what?
[ Kidman ]: Mr. Devineaux hugged me today.
[ EarlJr ]: no
[ SwedishFish ]: 8s
[ EarlJr ]: uh oh, Nevon might get jealous.
[ Kidman ]: nods happily.
[ SwedishFish ]: I do not trust that...
[ Kidman ]: Master and Ivy were there.
[ SwedishFish ]: It was a trick...ja?
[ Kidman ]: No.
[ Kidman ]: I asked and he said yes.
[ Kidman ]: Deric got a hug too.
[ SwedishFish ]: is shocked.
[ EarlJr ]: really
[ Kidman ]: But he came in after Mr. Devoneaux
[ Kidman ]: So he didn't see it.
[ Kidman ]: And he patted me on the back.
[ SwedishFish ]: I must ask the circumstances.
[ EarlJr ]: far be it from me to comment on Chase's style
[ Kidman ]: We were talking about hiding emotions.
[ Kidman ]: I'm not sure who brought it up, I think Ivy, that Chase didn't know how to hug.
[ Kidman ]: And he said he did.
[ Kidman ]: So I asked for one.
[ EarlJr ]: that's the running gag, yes
[ Kidman ]: <3
[ Kidman ]: ...it was a good hug....
[ SwedishFish ]: Wait...I understand this now!
[ Kidman ]: Eh?
[ SwedishFish ]: You, hiding, and now this...
[ Chip_Masters ]: When this kidnapping job is over I'm taking two weeks in Osaka.
[ Kidman ]: :weird:
[ SwedishFish ]: You have a crush with Herr Devineaux?
[ EarlJr ]: celebration for finishing the Alexandria cluster?
[ Kidman ]: ... I do?
[ EarlJr ]: sure sounds like it
[ Kidman ]: I don't think so.
[ Chip_Masters ]: Kinda, yeah. Plus a chance to recuperate from my future wounds.
[ Kidman ]: tried to imagine this.
[ Kidman ]: No...that doesn't feel right.
[ Kidman ]: I don't want to do...stuff ...with him.
[ SwedishFish ]: :weird:
[Neutral Grounds]: Eartha-Brute has entered at 6:17 am
[ SwedishFish ]: Hide, Chip.
[ Chip_Masters ]: HIDE ME!
[ Eartha-Brute ]: *Waves* Hulloo!
[ Kidman ]: HI!
[ EarlJr ]: could have fooled me
[ Eartha-Brute ]: (oh my gosh, where did you guys all come from?)
[ EarlJr ]: hey Eartha
[ Kidman ]: (space)
[ EarlJr ]: (my snow cave)
[ Eartha-Brute ]: *giggles* chip!
[ Chip_Masters ]: says nothing
[ SwedishFish ]: ...And...this is Eartha?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: *puts a log in the fire*
[ SwedishFish ]: I would not have guessed...
[ Kidman ]: I heard you're strong
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Why is it so echoy in here?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Am I talking too loud?
[ Kidman ]: ?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I am Eartha, hullo little ACME Swede.
[ Kidman ]: lols
[ SwedishFish ]: ...Little?!
[ Eartha-Brute ]: (did we meet, I have a bad memory?)
[ SwedishFish ]: stands up straight.
[ Kidman ]: LOL
[ EarlJr ]: just the strange acoustics of NG. You'll get used to it
[ SwedishFish ]: (Not with these characters, no. :))
[ Chip_Masters ]: sneaks off behind the couch
[ Kidman ]: LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
[ SwedishFish ]: (I was Anja, you were your other character.)
[ Eartha-Brute ]: (ooh got it)
[ Eartha-Brute ]: (Do I have to wait for Chase to talk about Chip before I write Earth dressing for a date?)
[ Kidman ]: (who else do you play?)
[ Eartha-Brute ]: (I'm also Nina, ACME's local plant girl)
[Neutral Grounds]: Rose_Thorn has entered at 6:22 am
[ SwedishFish ]: Hejsan, Abby!
[ Kidman ]: (Neat!)
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Hullo other little ACME girl!
[ Kidman ]: lols some more.
[ Chip_Masters ]: (This would be in Paradigm shift correct?)
[ Eartha-Brute ]: *claps* Oh this is so nice! More girls.
[ Rose_Thorn ]: contemplates what "little" meant
[ Rose_Thorn ]: Hello, everyone
[ Eartha-Brute ]: (Paradigm shift, yep)
[ EarlJr ]: hello Abby
[ Kidman ]: Hullo
[ SwedishFish ]: She called me 'little', also.
[ Rose_Thorn ]: Now that is funny...
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Why we have to come so far for Newtral grounds?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Why can't we stay in city or something?
[ EarlJr ]: too much temptation for VILE
[ Kidman ]: You don't use the majick door?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: *gasps* Majick?? Where???
[ Kidman ]: It's by the snack machine.
[ EarlJr ]: ...
[ Kidman ]: It has those little gold stars on it.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Will there be hats and rabbits?
[ Kidman ]: Yes, when Master's here.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Chip?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Chip is a magician?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Ooh
[ Kidman ]: Oh, no, I mean Carmen.
[ SwedishFish ]: She calld Carmen 'Master', Eartha.
[ Chip_Masters ]: tries to make himself smaller.
[ SwedishFish ]: She has not explained this.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: *a little disappointed* oh
[ Kidman ]: Chip is majick too.
[ Kidman ]: Look how he gets smaller and smaller
[ Eartha-Brute ]: (haha lol to that!)
[ Chip_Masters ]: I'm not here!
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Are we playing hide and seek?
[ Kidman ]: And now he's invisible!
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I'm not very good at that game.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: The rules are hard
[ SwedishFish ]: The rules are hard?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: *gasp* mind reader!
[ EarlJr ]: there's that echo she was talking about
[ Rose_Thorn ]: (heh :))
[ Chip_Masters ]: (This has gotta be saved and posted on the fora)
[ Eartha-Brute ]: (Wait, so I have to wait for Chase to meet up with Chip first right?)
[ SwedishFish ]: Would you play kurragömma instead, Eartha?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: (is Chase going to make Chip an agent?)
[ Kidman ]: Is that that thing with the elves and pop bottles?
[ SwedishFish ]: Elves and pop bottles?
[ Chip_Masters ]: (I think he's just tasking Chip with installing spyware on the VILE computer)
[ Kidman ]: Oh wait, that's kurrigömma
[ Eartha-Brute ]: (he better hurry, Patty hasn't answered her email, so I only hear from Chase on what to do.)
[Neutral Grounds]: Chase has entered at 6:33 am
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has entered at 6:34 am
[ SwedishFish ]: Boss!
[ Kidman ]: Majick!
[ Chase ]: looks at Carmen.
[ EarlJr ]: (looks like you can ask him yourself)
[ SwedishFish ]: ...And Miss Sandiego.
[ Kidman ]: Master!
[ EarlJr ]: nope, that wasn't planned, not at all
[ Kidman ]: Yeay!
[ Carmen ]: What wasn't planned?
[ Chase ]: We didn't come in together.
[ Rose_Thorn ]: That was strategically planned...
[ Carmen ]: Did we? Mm, I must have used the other door.
[ EarlJr ]: more like tactically
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Carmen!!
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Hi Chase of ACME
[ SwedishFish ]: Boss, Gingerbread tells us you hugged her?
[ Kidman ]: :D
[ Chase ]: Uh yeah.
[ Chip_Masters ]: whispers to himself. slowly rocking behing the couch
[ Kidman ]: :roll:
[ SwedishFish ]: 8s
[ EarlJr ]: tried to hold his laughter
[ Kidman ]: See? I can't lie, you know.
[ Carmen ]: He was put on the spot, couldn't as much say no, if that's anything.
[ Chase ]: That's you defending me, Cherrie? Gee, thanks.
[ Kidman ]: looks somewhat crestfallen.
[ SwedishFish ]: chuckles.
[ Carmen ]: Oh, it wasn't a terrible hug.
[ Carmen ]: I thought it was rather warm from where I stood.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I'm forbidden from hugging too much.
[ Rose_Thorn ]: is amused
[ Kidman ]: ...I thought so too....
[ SwedishFish ]: It is a shame, Eartha, heh.
[ Chase ]: *changes topic* So... decent weather outside.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Too cold today it's already March
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Should be warmer
[ SwedishFish ]: (Actually not.)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Well, I finally managed to stay up late enough.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: And it snowed on Carmen's birthday!
[ Carmen ]: Yes... often happens that far south.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: (Carmen is such a Pisces! I loved that concept)
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Snows are special
[ Chip_Masters ]: slowly peeks out from behind the couch
[ Chase ]: *chuckles* Pisces.
[ Chase ]: Chip, didn't see you behind... uh... Eartha.
[ SwedishFish ]: looks to fetch food for Chip for his possible overnight stay.
[ Chase ]: Right, I'm heading back to San Francisco, first person I'm going to see is Tanya, then it's you.
[ Chip_Masters ]: *whispers* Not so loud!
[ Chase ]: What?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Hi Chip! *giggles*
[ Chip_Masters ]: I'm hiding from -AAAA
[ Chip_Masters ]: hides again
[ Chase ]: ...
[ SwedishFish ]: Kopter, have you any ready meals on hand?
[ Kidman ]: :rolleyes:
[ EarlJr ]: you've got to stop sabotoging your own people like that Chase
[ SwedishFish ]: Chip may be here for a while, hiding.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I thought I saw him a minute ago.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Where did he go?
[ SwedishFish ]: Chip heard about the kurragömma tournament, Eartha.
[ EarlJr ]: I've got a crate of them out in the plane. You picky about which entree you get?
[ Chase ]: I knew he was afraid of her... didn't know it was more like a phobia.
[ SwedishFish ]: I am not picky. Chip must be thankful for what he gets.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: (ha that rocks, phobia)
[ Kidman ]: Death...by snu snu!
[ Eartha-Brute ]: *Gets out a heart-shaped box of cholates*
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I got these leftover from Valentines does anybody want some?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I leave them in fridge
[ SwedishFish ]: Abby, would you want any?
[ SwedishFish ]: Wait...
[ SwedishFish ]: Not for...Valentine's....
[ Rose_Thorn ]: Are you embarrassed, Gunnar?
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Chip_Masters ]: tries to sneak over to Chase
[ Rose_Thorn ]: mutters to herself, "Why does he always get embarrassed"...
[ Rose_Thorn ]: I thought you were going to offer me some MREs
[ Chase ]: takes a step forward to make room for Chip.
[ SwedishFish ]: Right. MREs.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: It's ok like a girl, Swede boy!
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ EarlJr ]: I've also got some first strike rations too, if you're interested
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Carmen told me so, it's okay to like anybody!
[ SwedishFish ]: I like...a girl...
[ Chase ]: raises brows.
[ Chip_Masters ]: *whispers* My insurance will cover reconstructive bone surgery, right?
[ Chase ]: Really?
[ SwedishFish ]: Kopter, those would be great.
[ Chase ]: *to chip* I'm actually considering training you on some basic defense before we send you out.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Yes, Chase really!
[ Eartha-Brute ]: sees Chase talking to somebody
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Is that Chip!?
[ EarlJr ]: no Chase, it isn't
[ Chase ]: No... no no, a robot.
[ Chip_Masters ]: *whispers* Good, because I would like to keep all my ribs.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I thought I heard Chip.
[ Chase ]: This room... echos...
[ SwedishFish ]: It is a decoy. Comes back to you? Chip is in the kurragömma tournament.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: *shrugs* OK
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Swede boy, I said it was okay to like a girl and be all red when you say wrong things.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: It happens all the time!
[ SwedishFish ]: Red? Who was red?
[ Kidman ]: hands Eartha a flower.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: But if you are always so shy, you won't ever get to invite her up to your room.
[ Kidman ]: :rose:
[ Eartha-Brute ]: takes flowers and put them in her hair.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I like!
[ Chip_Masters ]: *whispers* Get me an airhorn for the mission.
[ DericStorm ]: (wow, i step out for a few minutes and a party breaks out)
[ SwedishFish ]: Right. I do not like Abby.
[ EarlJr ]: (Deric's back! errone run!
[ SwedishFish ]: facepalms.
[ EarlJr ]: *)
[ DericStorm ]: ( :p )
[ SwedishFish ]: I do not like Abby...
[ Kidman ]: Dost protests too much.
[ Chase ]: Wait--? Who's inviting who to what?
[ Kidman ]: Eartha is inviting Chip to her room.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: You do it all the time, Chase! Girls go to your house and you play.
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Chase ]: *to chip* I'll get you a silent alarm too, just to be safe.
[ SwedishFish ]: is relieved.
[ DericStorm ]: why am i suddenly thinking of 70s pron music
[ SwedishFish ]: *glances at Chase* Which girls?
[ Chase ]: I have no response to that... is there surveillance around my place?
[ DericStorm ]: apparently
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I heard it from Patty.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Patty is so smart.
[ Kidman ]: Devineaux Delights
[ SwedishFish ]: I have heard that about Patty, too.
[ Chip_Masters ]: *Whispers* Also, I'm gonna need a week off after the mission. Winston can hold down the fort.
[ DericStorm ]: Patty is what my grandpa would call a (bleep)stirrer
[ Chase ]: No, seriously. I don't have girls coming to my place.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Patty lies then?
[ SwedishFish ]: Deric? Really?
[ Carmen ]: Patty as an over-active imagination.
[ DericStorm ]: that too
[ SwedishFish ]: We did not need that...
[ Kidman ]: This room has censor beeps?
[ DericStorm ]: i selfcensored
[ Carmen ]: Self-censorship.
[ SwedishFish ]: (Yes, it does, though.)
[ Chase ]: We're ACME, we're nice like that.
[ Carmen ]: And Chase, rest assured, most of us don't know where you live.
[ Chase ]: ... not really assured.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I don't know where Chase lives.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Carmen must mean me
[ SwedishFish ]: You seem quite honest, Earha.
[ SwedishFish ]: *Eartha
[ Carmen ]: Eartha can hardly lie, if at all.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I'm not good faking anything.
[ DericStorm ]: Then why did she become a thief?
[ EarlJr ]: she's lying about being a thief
[ Carmen ]: I appreciated her honesty.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I'm not lying, you didn't ask.
[ Kidman ]: Not being able to lie can be a problem, but you get used to it.
[ Chip_Masters ]: sneaks off to hide behind the couch again
[ Carmen ]: And that, of course, is why I must keep Eartha out of the loop.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: *looks down* that's OK.
[ Kidman ]: Eartha, if you hug Mr. Chip, you must be very careful.
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Chase ]: I think we should just tell her not to try.
[ Kidman ]: Like a baby puppy.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I LOVE puppies!!
[Neutral Grounds]: Zack has entered at 7:10 am
[ EarlJr ]: all this talk of hugging is making my head hurt
[ SwedishFish ]: huffs.
[ Carmen ]: Welcome, Zack.
[ DericStorm ]: Hey Zack
[ SwedishFish ]: Zack...
[ DericStorm ]: I saw your girl earlier
[ Chip_Masters ]: (I must not fear, fear is the mind killer)
[ Zack ]: Hey ya'll!
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Hello little brother of Ivy!
[ Zack ]: (Did I miss Tanya?)
[ DericStorm ]: (Nice Dune reference Chip)
[ Zack ]: Hello Wedding obsessed Eartha.
[ DericStorm ]: (by a few hours, yes, Zack)
[ Kidman ]: A person I haven't met yet!
[ Zack ]: (I was out a few hours ago)
[ Zack ]: Hello person I haven't met yet!
[ DericStorm ]: (I was watching the UFC card on Fox when she came in)
[ Kidman ]: I like you. You don't beat people up.
[ Zack ]: Wait, who beats up people?
[ EarlJr ]: no one. VILE is spinning propaganda again
[ Kidman ]: Your sister does, but you don't. She could learn from you.
[ Carmen ]: A propaganda easily spun contains some truth.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: doesn't understand what propaganda means.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I beat up people!
[ EarlJr ]: I'm counting on it Carmen
[ Carmen ]: Eartha, we talked about this.
[ Zack ]: Sis? Oh that's her... um... way to say that she... likes you...
[ SwedishFish ]: is wary of Eartha.
[ DericStorm ]: what is this, kindergarten, Zack?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Ooh... I mean, I DONT beat up people... for fun.
[ Zack ]: agress with the Fish.
[ Chip_Masters ]: gulps
[ Zack ]: Shut up Deric.
[ Zack ]: Or I'll send Sis after you.
[ Kidman ]: ...
[ Kidman ]: Anyway, I wish they were all like you...
[ DericStorm ]: :rolleyes: ooooh... I think I'd like the challenge
[ Chase ]: We've had less chairs thrown in this place since Ivy completed her course.
[ Zack ]: Quote the word "Less"
[ Carmen ]: Mm, and consequently less spare wood?
[ Chase ]: Yeah, we'll have to start chopping our own firewood soon.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I can do that!
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I'm very good with axe!!
[ SwedishFish ]: Nei nei nei! That is my training!
[ EarlJr ]: No need Eartha. We'll handle it.
[ Kidman ]: You train with an ax?
[ Zack ]: hops behind the bar, looking for something to drink.
[ Rose_Thorn ]: (There, Deric.)
[ Chip_Masters ]: does a cursory check to see if Eartha's otherwise occupied
[Neutral Grounds]: Lee-Jordan has entered at 7:21 am
[ EarlJr ]: ooh, now we'll have some real fun
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ DericStorm ]: (yikes, rough crowd)
[ Lee-Jordan ]: good to know I'm entertainment
[ Kidman ]: abulous!
[ Zack ]: pops his head over the counter, looks at Lee, and doesn't say a word. He pops back down to find something to drink.
[ Zack ]: (Hey Lee!)
[ Kidman ]: Where did my 'F; go?
[ Chase ]: Zack, get me a bottle of water?
[ Zack ]: Gotcha Chase!
[ Kidman ]: Lee's here!
[ DericStorm ]: it got the 'F' out of here, maybe?
[ Lee-Jordan ]: (Excllent start to the new RP, mate!)
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Kidman ]: Oh wait, but Mr. Dev is here too...
[ Kidman ]: Hah!
[ Lee-Jordan ]: looks around
[ Zack ]: pops up with a can of Coke and a water bottle. He walks to Chase and hands the water bottle to him.
[ Lee-Jordan ]: Good crowd
[ SwedishFish ]: It was.
[ Chase ]: Thanks, Zack.
[ Zack ]: holds a snicker at Swede's comment.
[ Lee-Jordan ]: Don't start, Swede.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I thought I smelled something funny!
[ Zack ]: You might be smelling the leftover tofu in the fridge.
[ SwedishFish ]: begins to laugh at Eartha's comment.
[ Chip_Masters ]: looks at Zack, then back to see if Eartha would notice him...
[ Eartha-Brute ]: This log is PINE
[ Eartha-Brute ]: *thinks she sees Chip*
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Hullo!
[ Chip_Masters ]: *ducks down*
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Where did he go again?
[ Kidman ]: She says 'hullo' like me!
[ SwedishFish ]: looks from Kidman to Eartha.
[ SwedishFish ]: I trust that you are not related with her.
[ Lee-Jordan ]: Hey dolly, why are you in this crowd?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: We are not related by blood!
[ Eartha-Brute ]: But we are family!
[ Kidman ]: Why wouldn't I be?
[ Kidman ]: hugs Eartha.
[ SwedishFish ]: From the obvious?
[ Zack ]: I have a bad feeling about this...
[ SwedishFish ]: Right...
[ Chase ]: chuckles
[ Chip_Masters ]: sneaks a bit farther
[ Chase ]: Nice and dysfunctional.
[ Kidman ]: From the obvious what?
[Neutral Grounds]: SwedishFish has left at 7:29 am
[ Eartha-Brute ]: You scared the Swede *giggles*
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Carmen, why are you so quiet?
[ Rose_Thorn ]: (Maybe the Tornado hit...)
[ Kidman ]: Aww.... but I like him.
[ Zack ]: She is a woman of few words.
[ Zack ]: (I really hope not...)
[ Carmen ]: Mm, I'm not the only one quiet.
[ Rose_Thorn ]: (He said there was some weather warnings)
[ Kidman ]: (where is he?)
[ Carmen ]: (It's late for him as well, is it not?)
[ Rose_Thorn ]: (And the Tornado warning had gone off)
[Neutral Grounds]: SwedishFish has entered at 7:31 am
[ SwedishFish ]: Usch...
[ Rose_Thorn ]: (Ah, here he is)
[ Chip_Masters ]: *whispers* I need a really big water, I might be here all night
[ Chase ]: helps Gunnar back in.
[ Kidman ]: (Tornado?)
[ Rose_Thorn ]: Did you fall into the closet?
[ SwedishFish ]: (Heh. Tornado.)
[ SwedishFish ]: (No. Not yet.)
[ Chase ]: *to chip* You could always just sit... maybe if you stay still she won't see you.
[ Kidman ]: *whispers back* What of you need to pee?
[ Zack ]: Did he just come out of the closet?
[ SwedishFish ]: I needed fresh air.
[ Zack ]: (no joke intended)
[ Zack ]: (*no bad joke intended)
[ EarlJr ]: (alright, time for me to head out. Later everyone.)
[ SwedishFish ]: Vi ses, Kopter.
[ Carmen ]: Be well, Mr. Grovington
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has left at 7:33 am
[ Zack ]: (Niht Euege)
[ Lee-Jordan ]: So soon, pilot?
[ Zack ]: Too late, he's already flown away.
[ Lee-Jordan ]: He was quiet anyway.
[ Zack ]: I wonder why...
[ Chase ]: He wasn't quiet, we were strategizing.
[ Carmen ]: Ah, but of course.
[ Kidman ]: telepathically.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: doesn't know what strategizing means.
[ Zack ]: Strategizing means that you are planning something in advance Eartha.
[ Zack ]: You want to try and outsmart the other people.
[ SwedishFish ]: wonders if she knows what 'telepathically' means, because he doesn't know, either.
[ DericStorm ]: it means tranmitting thoughts with your mind
[ Eartha-Brute ]: If Patty was here, she'd tell the meanings for me.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: She's always right about so many things.
[ Zack ]: (If Patty were here, I'd drag out Ti-Jean)
[ Lee-Jordan ]: Patty?
[ Lee-Jordan ]: makes a face.
[ Chip_Masters ]: sighs and stands up
[ Kidman ]: You know her?
[ SwedishFish ]: I would not trust Patty...
[ Chip_Masters ]: My knees...
[ Zack ]: Oh stop with your faces Lee. Remember, there are quite a few of us who feel the exact same way about you.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Hullo CHIP! *waves a lot*
[ Lee-Jordan ]: All Patty's worth is two pennies.
[ Zack ]: *mutters* That's more than you....
[ Chip_Masters ]: is paralyzed from fear
[ Kidman ]: Have you guys met?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: goes over to Chip
[ Zack ]: (Quick! Someone use a Paralyze Heal! *Pokemon Reference)
[ Kidman ]: (LOL)
[ Eartha-Brute ]: *extends out her hand for a handshake* Carmen says I can't hug ACME
[ Kidman ]: (It's not very effective...)
[ Eartha-Brute ]: We can shake hands!
[ DericStorm ]: "Gibbs smacks" Chip
[ Chip_Masters ]: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[ DericStorm ]: snap out of it
[ Zack ]: (NCIS!!!!!)
[ Zack ]: (I freaking love that show!)
[ DericStorm ]: (of course)
[ Lee-Jordan ]: Don't leave her hanging, Chip.
[ Chip_Masters ]: shivers
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Carmen shakes hands with Chase all the time!
[ Chip_Masters ]: holds his hand out weakly
[ Lee-Jordan ]: Really!?
[ SwedishFish ]: She does...?
[ Lee-Jordan ]: wonders what she means by shake hands
[ Zack ]: What?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: shakes Chips hands.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Danke!
[ Zack ]: (... and promptly rips his arm off)
[ Kidman ]: And as Chip looked up into Eartha's brown eyes, he knew he had found....true love.
[ Zack ]: Don't. even. start.
[ Carmen ]: (*laughs*)
[ SwedishFish ]: Aj, Ginger.
[ Chip_Masters ]: looks nauseous.
[ DericStorm ]: "And like all tru love, one day it withered on the vine..."
[ Eartha-Brute ]: See? Not so bad.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: You are right, Carmen, boys are very shy.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I see what you mean now.
[ Carmen ]: Mm... but don't take my word for it.
[ SwedishFish ]: Miss sandiego seems not so much like a good source for advice about boys, Eartha.
[ Zack ]: She probably knows more than you think Gunnar.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Oh she knows so much!
[ SwedishFish ]: 'Probably'?
[ Zack ]: (Ugh! I want to drag in Ti-Jean!)
[ Zack ]: Probably.
[ Kidman ]: (What is a Ti-Jean?)
[ Chase ]: I'm willing to bet Eartha's right.
[ DericStorm ]: She's the Sphinx. She ALWAYS knows more than we think
[ SwedishFish ]: It is no 'probably', Zack.
[ Zack ]: )Ti-Jean is my VILE character)
[ Lee-Jordan ]: She doesn't know that much.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: If you are what you know, then she's EVERYTHING! :D
[ SwedishFish ]: And you do so, Lee?
[ Kidman ]: Yes!
[ Kidman ]: Hooray for Master!
[ Chase ]: (Eartha, JET reference?)
[ SwedishFish ]: ...Flickor...
[ Eartha-Brute ]: *giggles* Chase knows! (hehe)
[ Carmen ]: Let's try refraining from make surreptitious connections...
[ Carmen ]: (making, excuse me)
[ Zack->Kidman ]: Some of us have more than one Character here on the site.
[ Zack->Kidman ]: I own three.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: tries to understand what Carmen just said.
[ Kidman->Zack ]: Ah yes, like Gunner there.
[ Zack ]: sees Eartha's confused face.
[ SwedishFish ]: is reminded to look in the fridge.
[ Zack ]: She means let's not get carried away with our thoughts.
[ Zack->Kidman ]: Yes.
[ Carmen ]: Yes, thank you, Zack.
[ Zack->Kidman ]: Gunnar owns one of the twins.
[ Carmen ]: I meant, plainly, stop relating me with Chase.
[ Chase ]: chuckles.
[ Zack->Kidman ]: I own Zack, Xander and Ti-Jean.
[ SwedishFish ]: fetches a bottle of syrup and proceeds to poor a glass.
[ Chip_Masters ]: I really hope I'm gonna get hazard pay for all this.
[ Chase ]: "In layman terms..."
[ SwedishFish ]: (*pour)
[ DericStorm ]: They're trying to live vicariously through you Carmen
[ Zack ]: ... Are you drinking maple syrup?
[ Rose_Thorn ]: looks at Gunnar and feels sick
[ SwedishFish ]: ...Yes.
[ Zack ]: .... carry on...
[ Chase ]: Chip *pats Chip on the back* I'll make sure you get whatever extra pay you need for this bit.
[ Kidman->Zack ]: Xander...which side is he/she on?
[ Zack ]: (Even I don't do that, and I'm canadian.)
[ Chip_Masters ]: Thank you.
[ SwedishFish ]: (Heheh)
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Deric is right, we have to live through Carmen.
[ SwedishFish ]: (If I could afford it, I might. :D)
[ Zack->Kidman ]: Xander (short for Alessandro - which is Italiain for Alexander) is on ACME
[ Zack->Kidman ]: Ti-Jean is VILE
[ Eartha-Brute ]: She attracts all the right kinds of guys.
[ Zack ]: (drink Maple Syrup? I'll provide the syrup for you!)
[ DericStorm ]: I live vicariously through myself
[ SwedishFish ]: (LOL!)
[ SwedishFish ]: She does not, eartha.
[ Rose_Thorn ]: (I'll watch)
[ SwedishFish ]: (Awesome. :D)
[ Zack ]: (I'll watch with you Rose, and we can be like: "What the hell is he thinking?")
[ Lee-Jordan ]: Don't give Carmen too much credit.
[ Kidman ]: swings her legs merrily.
[ Carmen ]: Of course, much as already by credited to me.
[ Rose_Thorn ]: (I do love Maple Syrup, but too much of a good thing...is not good)
[ Carmen ]: (has, this is oddly frustrating)
[ Chase ]: offers Carmen some water.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, thank you.
[ Kidman ]: Well, Candy seems to know who blew up the tower.
[ Chase ]: He does.
[ Chase ]: But he doesn't know yet in the RP.
[ SwedishFish ]: Right.
[ Zack ]: waves his hand in front of Chip.
[ Kidman ]: :down:
[ Zack ]: You still alive or still in shock?
[ DericStorm ]: Should i Gibbs-smack him again?
[ SwedishFish ]: Wait...
[ Kidman ]: I have my eye on you.... *points to eye and then at Chase*
[ Chip_Masters ]: What?!
[ SwedishFish ]: I should stop answering to 'Candy'...
[ Chase ]: accepts the gesture from Kidman.
[ Zack ]: 's phone suddenly rings. He steps outside to go answer it.
[Neutral Grounds]: Zack has left at 7:55 am
[ Eartha-Brute ]: It's okay Chip, you can sit here as long as you want!
[ Kidman ]: We VILE agents are terrible, aren't we?
[ Chip_Masters ]: I think I might just head to bed early...
[Neutral Grounds]: Ti-Jean has entered at 7:56 am
[ DericStorm ]: (wb)
[ SwedishFish ]: VILE agents are terrible, yes.
[ Ti-Jean ]: (Thanks)
[ Ti-Jean ]: walks in.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Purple!!
[ Kidman ]: (pretty)
[ Ti-Jean ]: Excusez-moi? Did I just hear someone say Les Agents de VILE are terrible?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: (Ti-Jean is VILE's tailor?)
[ Ti-Jean ]: (I might keep the colour, I might not)
[ Ti-Jean ]: (Ti-Jean is VILE period.)
[ SwedishFish ]: Extra terrible, yes.
[ Chip_Masters ]: Ugh. Do they stock any alkaseltzer in here...
[ Ti-Jean ]: (I think I'm going to stick with pink.)
[ Chip_Masters ]: All this stress is getting to me.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: This is the man who helps makes shoes to fit my feet!!
[ Ti-Jean ]: looks at the Swede.
[ Chase ]: points Chip to the medicine cabinet.
[ Ti-Jean ]: I would only think one with poor taste in fashion would choose to insult me like that.
[ SwedishFish ]: drinks his syrup casually because Doctor Conrad is not here.
[ Chase ]: *to chip* There's some strong stuff in there, just be careful.
[ SwedishFish ]: Fashion? Ha!
[ Ti-Jean ]: Ah, mais oui Mlle Brute, I did help you make your shoes. I must say you keep them in good shape.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I clean them like you said! :D
[ Kidman ]: tilts head.
[ Kidman ]: So many new people tonight!
[ Ti-Jean ]: *looks at Gunnar* I do not believe we have met formerly. I do know of you... Mme Sandiego has... how you say... coined you "Gunnar".
[ Carmen ]: Kidman, this is Ti-Jean, our resident... spécialiste de la mode.
[ DericStorm ]: VILE has a fashionista?
[ SwedishFish ]: Coined me? was I 'heads' or 'tails'?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: *claps* I don't understand French but I love hearing it!
[ Kidman ]: Hullo, do you make Master's coats?
[ Ti-Jean ]: Oh Mlle Sandiego, you flatter me too much. C'est un plaisir to be working for you.
[ Kidman ]: You may also call him 'Candy'.
[ SwedishFish ]: Nej. You may NOT call me 'Candy'.
[ Ti-Jean ]: Yes, I do make les manteaux rouges pour Mlle Sandiego.
[ Carmen ]: They fit quite well, thank you.
[ Chase ]: that explains a few things.
[ Kidman ]: Eh?
[ Lee-Jordan ]: looks at this fashion guy
[ SwedishFish ]: thinks brash Frenchman is ludicrously dressed.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I LOVE fashion but I'm not very good with the clothes
[ Ti-Jean ]: *gives Gunnar a look then to Carmen* Pouquoi cette fille s'addresse Le Suédois "Candy"? Il n'y a pas quelque chose "doux" d-il.
[ Lee-Jordan ]: Not good with your leotard, Eartha?
[ Ti-Jean ]: (Translation: Why does the girl call The Swede "Candy"? There's nothing "sweet" about him.)
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs*
[ Ti-Jean ]: Cette explique quoi Mr. Devenieaux?
[ Kidman ]: (neat! I caught most of that!)
[ SwedishFish ]: agrees with Frenchman.
[ Ti-Jean ]: (It's going to be poor French for a while, I'm out of touch with speaking/writing it)
[ DericStorm ]: thinks Gunnar needs to take himself a little less seriously
[ Chip_Masters ]: We're out of tea....
[ Rose_Thorn ]: I wouldn't say that there's 'nothing' sweet about Gunnar.
[ Ti-Jean ]: It's not all "leotards", there are many aspects of Fashion!
[ Chase ]: shakes his head.
[ Ti-Jean ]: (I'm presuming everyone is magically bi-lingual?)
[ DericStorm ]: care to elaborate Abby?
[ SwedishFish ]: Jaså?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: doesn't know what elaborate means
[ Kidman ]: (Everyone but me.;-p)
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Abby thinks Gunnar is sweet!
[ SwedishFish ]: (I think Gunnar can tell when "CAndy" is mentioned. ;-))
[ Eartha-Brute ]: That's so cute!
[ Ti-Jean ]: Ah mon chéri, "elaborate" means to gives more d'information.
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Rose_Thorn ]: Except back there, he wasn't so sweet then.
[ SwedishFish ]: smirks.
[ Rose_Thorn ]: Quote: "I do not like Abby"
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Rose_Thorn ]: But he has his strong moments.
[ Lee-Jordan ]: is glad he's in ACME.
[ Kidman ]: I call him Candy because when I first met him he was giving out candy.
[ SwedishFish ]: I corrected myself, ja?
[ Rose_Thorn ]: Not really.
[ Rose_Thorn ]: Gunnar, love and like are two different things.
[ SwedishFish ]: ...I meant that I have no...crush with you.
[ Chase ]: Don't worry about it, Gunnar, girls remember things you never will.
[ DericStorm ]: is not glad Lee is in ACME
[ SwedishFish ]: It means the same on TV, Abby.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: is glad she's VILE!
[ SwedishFish ]: OK, Boss.
[ Kidman ]: doesn't know why Lee is glad to be in ACME.
[ Ti-Jean ]: *turns back to Carmen* Mlle Sandiego, you must come back to the studio soon. I have a few new things to show you.
[ Rose_Thorn ]: TV? Seriously, you take TV on that sorta thing?
[ SwedishFish ]: TV reflects culture.
[ Kidman ]: I don't have a TV.
[ Rose_Thorn ]: Well, the culture doesn't always relfect the best.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, some time, of course, I'm rather preoccupied for now.
[ Rose_Thorn ]: Kidman, you aren't missing out.
[ Kidman ]: Master has a new hat.
[ Kidman ]: Well, I did enjoy the weather channel...
[ Lee-Jordan ]: *drinks water* Why does she have a new hat?
[ SwedishFish ]: The...weather channel?
[ Kidman ]: Because I gave her one for her birthday.
[ Ti-Jean ]: Mais oui mon petit! I did design it!
[ Chip_Masters ]: Jeez. I think I'll avoid using dodger blue as my hair color for a while.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: CARMEN! I missed your birthday!
[ Ti-Jean ]: Ahh! Of course! I forgot you did give her one as well!
[ Eartha-Brute ]: But you are never with us anyway
[ Ti-Jean ]: (I missed it, I only found out about it 20 minutes ago)
[ Kidman ]: (found out about the hat?)
[ Lee-Jordan ]: I thought you said you're always with people on your birthday, Carmen?
[ Ti-Jean ]: (her birthday)
[ Ti-Jean ]: Mais oui Monsiuer, mais avec qui c'est un plus bonne question. (But with whom is a better question)
[ Carmen ]: Mm, I tend to move about.
[ Kidman ]: Master was here for a little bit.
[ Chase ]: Makes it harder to spot her... if she's in a crowd.
[ Carmen ]: I do love cities.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I'm not good with cities.
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I wonder if Chip is a country boy
[ Chip_Masters ]: ...
[ Lee-Jordan ]: If Chip isn't, Chase is.
[ DericStorm ]: I am
[ Eartha-Brute ]: *gasp* that is so nice. I like a man who can hike and build fire and do things
[ Chip_Masters ]: I've always been urban.
[ Kidman ]: starts to slump onto Carmen's shoulder again.
[ Chase ]: Uh... right.
[ Kidman ]: zzz
[ Ti-Jean ]: Mon dieu, It looks like la petite fille has fallen asleep!
[ SwedishFish ]: Good.
[ DericStorm ]: she does that a lot
[ SwedishFish ]: wonders if Gingerbread has a bedtime.
[ Ti-Jean ]: wonders if the Swede was dressed better, would he be less snappy at people?
[ Carmen ]: Mm, yes, perhaps it is bedtime for you.
[ Kidman ]: zzz...Carmaster....
[ Ti-Jean ]: Voulez-vous placer d'elle dans mon automobile dehor? Je peux conduire chez-elle apres.
[ Chip_Masters ]: When I get out of here, I'm telling Winston that Code Snickers is in effect.
[ Lee-Jordan ]: (It's gotta be late in the states, mates?)
[ Ti-Jean ]: (Translation from the Gramatically butchered French: Would you like to place her in my car outside? I can drive her home later.)
[ Carmen ]: One moment, Ti-Jean.
[ Ti-Jean ]: (It's 3:25am here)
[ Eartha-Brute ]: I can carry her home!
[ Eartha-Brute ]: (I soo have to go too, my eyes are spazzing)
[ Kidman ]: (You too, huh? Where are you?)
[ Ti-Jean ]: (The great white north)
[Neutral Grounds]: Chip_Masters has left at 8:25 am
[ Carmen ]: Yes Eartha, take her?
[ Eartha-Brute ]: OK!
[ Kidman ]: (Well, lasted as long as a I could. Night all!)
[ Eartha-Brute ]: picks up Kidman
[ Eartha-Brute ]: Come on!
[ Kidman ]: zzzz
[ Eartha-Brute ]: (Bye guys!)
[ Rose_Thorn ]: (Goodnight)
[ SwedishFish ]: (Goodnight, you two!)
[ Chase ]: Take care, ladies.
