[ EarlJr ]: I'm as well as can be expected when subjected to Fearless Leaders mechanations.
[ Kidman ]: Carmen...?
[ Kidman ]: Oh, I say, EarlJr, hullo!
[ EarlJr ]: (no need to apologize. I don't hold high expectations in flashchat.)
[ EarlJr ]: Hi there
[ EarlJr ]: I suppose a proper introduction is in order, given the company?
[ Kidman ]: Was off uploading some old this and thats. You never notice what you have until you have to pack it all.
[ Kidman ]: Are you...of us?
[ DericStorm ]: he's with me
[ Kidman ]: I'm so very sorry.
[ EarlJr ]: Me too, but for very different reasons.
[ Kidman ]: Do tell?
[ EarlJr ]: because I have a surprise coming up for you
[ EarlJr ]: (a real surprise, with tragic consequences)
[ Kidman ]: ....i don't like you ACMEs....
[ Kidman ]: ...safer here in the brair patch is what I am...
[ EarlJr ]: oh, they're harmless enough, just so long as someone can be counted on to keep them on a leash.
[ DericStorm ]: woof woof
[ Kidman ]: Exactly.

Welcome! You have entered [Neutral Grounds] at 3:50 pm
[ 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.
[ Kidman ]: I know you are probably not here, but should you be, I have another question...
[ Kidman ]: What did Euge mean... a surprise for me?
[ Kidman ]: (VILE has posted their opening through my journal)
[ DericStorm ]: I don't know what He means most of the time
[ Kidman ]: Ah, you are here.
[ DericStorm ]: in and out. working on stuff
[ Kidman ]: Same here.
[ Kidman ]: Good fun, this room.
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has entered at 4:15 pm
[ DericStorm ]: you can ask him yourself
[ Kidman ]: Well that's convenient.
[ Kidman ]: Euge?
[ EarlJr ]: isn't it?
[ Kidman ]: What did you mean you have a surprise for me?
[ EarlJr ]: not you specifically, VILE in general
[ Kidman ]: Ah, well I suppose that goes without saying.
[ EarlJr ]: and if I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise
[ Kidman ]: This surprise wouldn't happen to involve undue violence, would it?
[ EarlJr ]: only if I get my way
[ Kidman ]: Do you ever stop to realize that in the scheme of things, you are worse than us?
[ EarlJr ]: let me think
[ EarlJr ]: no
[ Kidman ]: Really? And why is that? Physical harm weighs less than theft for you?
[ EarlJr ]: ACME hired me to bring an end to this conflit. That isn't going to happen so long as they continue with 'business as usual.'
[ EarlJr ]: My methods, which some find irregular and unconventional, are designed to do just that.
[ Kidman ]: You would make an excellent dictator's general.
[ EarlJr ]: why thank you
[ Kidman ]: Luckily you aren't. I doubt Mr. Devineaux would allow such things.
[ EarlJr ]: perhaps
[ Kidman ]: Perhaps what?
[ DericStorm ]: is this an "ends justify the means" situation, flyboy?
[ EarlJr ]: if the ends didn't justify the means, it's time to reevaluate your goal.
[ EarlJr ]: (sorry to depart so abruptly, but I need to go. This snow isn't going to shovel itself.)
[ EarlJr ]: bye you two
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has left at 4:39 pm
[ Kidman ]: (cheers)
[ Kidman ]: He troubles me...
[ Kidman ]: Far more than you do.
[ DericStorm ]: Once you get to know, you'll realize... he's much, much worse
[ Kidman ]: Why is he allowed to stay?
[ DericStorm ]: he's good at his job
[ DericStorm ]: he's ACME's chief pilot and flight instructor
[ Kidman ]: Carmen would never allow such a liability...I should hope.
[ DericStorm ]: Success covers a lot of warts
[ Kidman ]: Disturbing. And the rest of you have no trouble with this?
[ DericStorm ]: i wouldn't say that
[ Kidman ]: Oh? And has anyone made say of this?
[ DericStorm ]: i don't know
[ Kidman ]: Have you?
[ DericStorm ]: I've made my conerns known
[ Kidman ]: And nothing has come of it? How sad...
