Welcome! You have entered [Neutral Grounds] at 1:14 pm
[ Kidman ]: Try to always stay in character. (Use parentheses for out-of-character chats.)
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Yeah, the cabin is slowly turning into a mansion :P
[ Sarah-Nade ]: well every place needs a bathroom
[ Sarah-Nade ]: so I figured installing a massaging showerhead might not be too bad
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: Right, so anyway, Pru should be getting back to you.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: i can't wait.
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: *shakes fist at internet*
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: lol
[ Sarah-Nade ]: when you're VILE sometimes just a good showerhead is all you need to make a normal shower into an awesome one
[ Mikal ]: Ken, good thinking Sarah.
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: I think we're sidestepping Deric.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: ???
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: It's been two months now...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I like to think so, thanks
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: For his plane crash post.
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Now we need a billiard table, an 85-inch HD TV, maybe some shag carpetting and perhaps a PS3
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: Actually maybe it's Vic we're waiting on.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: he's still working on it w Vic
[ DericStorm ]: you're more than welcome to donate, Joe
[ Kidman ]: I think we have a pool table.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: I think Vic is very busy in real life, if I recall
[ Mikal ]: We do, it is dusty.
[ Joe_Kerr ]: You accept stolen goods here?
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: Poor guy.
[ DericStorm ]: no
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Then my donations would probably be unwelcomed, by ACME at least...
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has entered at 1:19 pm
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: I did draw this for them
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: http://www.theseventhstarprojects.com/jungle.jpg
[ Joe_Kerr ]: NOW it's a party!!!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I'll have to try out the billiard table sometime
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: I saw it....
[ Kidman ]: Hey Ivy
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: it's a little disturbing...this fascination of yours with putting Deric's head on weird pictures
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: Oh right. I forgot I actually posted that one.
[ Ivy ]: Hey!
[ Ivy ]: I did not expect to see this many people here.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: You should have made Cali Jane
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: I did, didn't I?
[ Mikal ]: Shalom Achoti.
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: I don't know really what she looks like from her profile picture.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: Couldn't tell. Looked like the normal Jane...maybe I was too tired to look closely then
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: So I gave her a dynamite belt and blond hair.
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Hello Ivy, how are you? It's been awhile.
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: And hoop earrings.
[ Ivy ]: Yeah, I'm not usually on at this time.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: lol
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: Making Vic was the hardest. I had to totally recreate the bottom of that guys face.
[ DericStorm ]: yeah, i haven't seen you in about 8-9 hours
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: It was all mustache before.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: uh.....
[ Mikal ]: (I'm in the office. Nothing to do but watch numbers on a screen anyway.)
[ Ivy ]: Deric, do you even sleep?
[ Ivy ]: I think I've seen you at all hours.
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: You ever see that cartoon?
[ DericStorm ]: it's only 820 pm
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: That guy has a huge mustache
[ Joe_Kerr ]: (I think Deric's perpetually logged in)
[ Ivy ]: (not now, of course I mean all day and usually much of the night.)
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: I know
[ Ivy ]: (There was a time when this site had me sleeping at 4 a.m.)
[ DericStorm ]: (i log in at my office. i'm in the same scenario as Mikal)
[ Mikal ]: (good times.)
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: http://www.disneysonglyrics.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Tarzan.jpg
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: the original.
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: It's all for fun.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: I've watched Tarzan many times - both the movie and TV series.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: Loved minnie driver as Jane
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: As far as Deric being in most of them, it's really coincidence.
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: It's been a while since I've seen the movie, but I did try to catch the series when I could.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: you should do a charlie's angel one but rename it Chase's angels :)
[ Ivy ]: Anyway, how is everyone?
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: With Calli, Ivy and...wait.
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: Who was the third?
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: You could put in Eleanor Mayhem or Tatiana
[ Joe_Kerr ]: laughing it up, as always
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: This actually came up in chat.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: LOL
[ Mikal ]: I need to find a new knife-guy.
[ DericStorm ]: just thundering along
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: About time, actually
[ Joe_Kerr ]: knife-guy?
[ Kidman ]: Hey Ivy, remember we mentioned something about 'Chase's angels' being you and two others?
[ Mikal ]: Someone who provides good tactical knives.
[ Joe_Kerr ]: I know a guy in Morocco....wait why am I telling you this?
[ Kidman ]: Do you remember who the other two were?
[ Ivy ]: I think that was mentioned...
[ Mikal ]: Ari in Morocco?
[ Mikal ]: I need someone state-side.
[ Joe_Kerr ]: rubs his chin
[ Ivy ]: It was Tanya and Cali.
[Neutral Grounds]: Chip_Masters has left at 1:30 pm
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Sorry, I tend to stay away from weapons
[ Joe_Kerr ]: (excuse me. Chat is malfunctioning for me)
[Neutral Grounds]: Joe_Kerr has left at 1:31 pm
[Neutral Grounds]: Joe_Kerr has entered at 1:31 pm
[ DericStorm ]: pictures Ivy, Tanya, and Cali as "Angels"
[ Joe_Kerr ]: pictures Deric drooling over Cali
[ DericStorm ]: drools a little
[ Joe_Kerr ]: :D
[ Ivy ]: Actually Agent Mayhem should be in there too.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: what I'd miss?
[ Joe_Kerr ]: She could be bossley
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Bosley isn't a bad idea
[ DericStorm ]: Oh, mikal, how about Razor Sharp Cutlery on Polk Street
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Why not get one from the army surplus store, Mikal?
[ Mikal ]: Not the ones I need.
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: Nothing that I can see.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: kk
[ Mikal ]: It is very difficult, yeah? My previous supplier is no longer in business.
[ Mikal ]: I have to ration the carbon steel ones.
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Stainless steel not good enough?
[ Mikal ]: Maybe for single use.
[ Ivy ]: I thought you were trained to use anythng as a weapon.
[ Ivy ]: Why knives?
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Rule number 3, always carry a knife (or was that rule number 9)
[ Mikal ]: Safety precaution.
[ Mikal ]: Joe is right, it is one of the rules.
[ Ivy ]: Right.
[ DericStorm ]: (rule 9)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: actually even I carry one on me... I just don't use it for people
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I also keep a set of lock picks on me
[ Joe_Kerr ]: ditto.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: for basically the same reason
[ Ivy ]: Good to know. We'll need to make sure VILE agents are properly frisked.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: ...
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Isn't that already standard procedure?
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Oh wait, you don't capture us often enough for it to be a standard practice. My bad
[ Kidman ]: Zing!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: chuckles
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Personally I find a good frisk now and again is good for the soul
[ Ivy ]: *lowers brows*
[ DericStorm ]: i'm guessing you don't go throught many American airports, Sarah
[ Sarah-Nade ]: If I'm doing my job right they barely need to touch me
[ Kidman ]: Wait, what?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Airports.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I am, however, not a big fan of removing my shoes.
[ Mikal ]: I hate airports.
[ Kidman ]: Good thing Master has her own planes.
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Flying commerical is a necessary evil every now and then...
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has left at 1:48 pm
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has entered at 1:48 pm
[ Mikal ]: (by the way, good post Joe.)
[ Kidman ]: has never flown commercial.
[ DericStorm ]: the TSA got her
[ Joe_Kerr ]: (thx Mikal)
[ Mikal ]: I tend not to carry anything on planes. That's what safety deposit boxes are for.
[ Joe_Kerr ]: that's what safehouses are for too...personal ones at least
[ Kidman ]: (Where is this post?)
[ Joe_Kerr ]: (on this site, under 'The Studio' in the forums. It's where you post your pics too I think)
[ Kidman ]: (Right!)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Though I have to say the TSA has nothing on ACME. Now you guys know how to make a girl feel properly frisked
[ Joe_Kerr ]: looks at Deric
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Aaand I killed the room
[ Joe_Kerr ]: lol
[ DericStorm ]: at least we have warmer hands Sarah
[ Kidman ]: (I'm reading Kerr's post.;-))
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Very true, Deric. Very true
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Go easy on the ACMEs Sarah, they're a little slow sometimes...
[ DericStorm ]: the lead dog needs to eat from time to time
[ Joe_Kerr ]: <turns to Deric> here boy, fetch
[ DericStorm ]: smirks
[ DericStorm ]: I will shove that stick up your six
[ Kidman ]: 8s
[ Joe_Kerr ]: who said I threw a stick?
[ DericStorm ]: it was a warning not to throw said stick
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: nice journal by the way.
[ Ivy ]: Let's try to stay civil.
[ DericStorm ]: i am civil
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Yes, it is neutral grounds after all....
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Good idea
[ Ivy ]: None of the 'grown ups' are here anyway.
[ Joe_Kerr ]: At least Ivy's cultured...
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: Oh, you saw it? I didn't figure anyone noticed.;-)
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: oh wait, I told you!
[ Ivy ]: Was there talk about someone fixing up this cabin?
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: happened to scroll down. good read. a little sad though
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: Derp.
[ Mikal ]: Yeah, Dragon... a long time ago. I think it was too ambitious, yeah?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Eh, I just installed a new shower head in the bathroom
[ Ivy ]: That's a welcome addition.
[ Joe_Kerr ]: And we just made a note to dust off the old pool table and restore it
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: Kidman's in failing health from being kept in this part of the story for so long.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: ....patience young grasshopper :P
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: She ended up caving a few hours after I saw you this morning. Something Chase said.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Doesn't that, uh, E chick restore stuff?
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: I went with her. It was awful.
[ Joe_Kerr ]: She does?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (her hobbies are collecting and restoring antiques)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (though I am not sure how much of that is written in the profile)
[ Kidman ]: (Carmen uses that line too, but I think she means it in other ways)
[ Ivy ]: (nice.)
[ Joe_Kerr ]: (good one.)
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: The Rp's always been a risk for me.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: u scare me sometimes
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: Good to hear. :mean:
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: yeah, basically that stuff.
[ Ivy ]: Agent Mayhem is pretty good at restoring stuff.
[ Ivy ]: She suggested an antique store to me, saved me from buying an Ikea table.
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: But at least you're up front about it.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: er..thx?
[ Mikal ]: I do not think Ikea furniture will last long with you, Miss Ivy.
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: I've got to learn to deal with it eventually. If I'm going to be talking at conferences and stuff.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I don't think Ikea lasts anyone long
[ DericStorm ]: i agree with mikal
[ Joe_Kerr ]: notices that the old pile of chairs has disappeared
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: true
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: The right people will come.
[ Ivy ]: Yeah, the broken chair legs have been properly turned into firewood.
[ Ivy ]: And to be fair, I haven't thrown anything in a while.
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has left at 2:05 pm
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has entered at 2:05 pm
[ DericStorm ]: (do you have an Ikea internet connection?)
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: I don't know what to say, man.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: u mean in the chat?
[ Mikal ]: (Ikea came to Thailand less than a year ago. People went crazy for it.)
[ Joe_Kerr ]: (lol)
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: About scaring you.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (nah, I moved my bookmark bar on my browser so I keep accidently clicking other links)
[ Mikal ]: (But in a country where solid wood costs less than imported plywood I can't understand why.)
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: don't sweat it.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (I think its the same reason why 7-11s are so big over there - its something 'exotic')
[ Ivy ]: (Hey, I wouldn't knock it, my entire dorm was furnished thanks to Ikea.)
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: Why?
[ DericStorm ]: (i'm currently sitting in an Ikea chair)
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: just don't worry about it.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (oh no, ikea is good for anything you don't expect to be using for more than 2-3 years)
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: i'm not terrified of you or anything
[ Mikal ]: (The 7-11s are really popular because they could be owned by the average Thai, so they replaced mom and pop shops that people were already used to.)
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: just a little friendly concern that's all
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (ahh gotcha)
[ Mikal ]: (I realized I'm drinking from an Ikea cup.)
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: I suppose.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (their housewares aren't too bad)
[ Joe_Kerr ]: (I realize my laptop is sitting atop an IKEA table)
[ Mikal ]: (Anni is a friend of a girl who's parrents make stainless steal for Ikea. They are filty rich.)
[ Mikal ]: *steel
[ Joe_Kerr ]: (Isn't the richest guy in UK a steel merchant?)
[ Mikal ]: (just one of the suppliers out of many.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (yeah they pride themselves on having items from freaking everywhere)
[ Mikal ]: [ Ivy ]: If I were filthy rich, I think I'd still be with ACME.
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: But after hearing it from several people over the span of a few days, it gets to you.
[ Joe_Kerr ]: I think you'd own ACME, Ivy
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: sorry
[ Sarah-Nade ]: If i were rich I'd... you know, I don't know what I'd do
[ Sarah-Nade ]: probably open some businesses, settle down
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: I don't think any of us realize how the same comment over and over again can grate on someone
[ Ivy ]: Settle down?
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: ...just bad timing, man.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: yup
[ Sarah-Nade ]: yeah, you know, stop travelling as much, maybe find a guy
[ Ivy ]: With a Mr. Sarah Nade and little musical kids?
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: Yeah, I'm not normal, but who is?
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Sound of music much?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: well they don't have to be musicians...
[ Mikal ]: Could see the musical kids for Sarah.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: exactly
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: At least I'm using my stuff to educate people.
[ Ivy ]: No, but obviously they'll have to get some of your talent.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I mean my sister turned out to be a chef, my brother's an architect
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: that's a good thing
[ Sarah-Nade ]: they can be happy doing whatever they like
[ Ivy ]: That's good parenting.
[ Ivy ]: My dad was pushing heavily for law enforcement.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: If they want to do music then thats cool though I'd probably make sure they at least finished high school first
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Who knows, maybe they could get Juliard scholarships?
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: Yeah...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: You never know, but thats a looooong way away
[ DericStorm ]: My grandparents wanted me to find a job that i would be happy with
[ Mikal ]: I only had a choice on which department of I.D.F. I wanted to apply for.
[ Ivy ]: Military family?
[ Mikal ]: *nods*
[ Mikal ]: If I were very rich, I would settle down too, yeah?
[ Mikal ]: Like Miss Nade.
[ DericStorm ]: define settle down
[ Mikal ]: Fix up the old orange orchard.
[ Mikal ]: Find a wife and have seven kids.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I'd probably stick to the city life...
[ Joe_Kerr ]: If I were filthy rich I'd use most of the money to set up a charity fund
[ Ivy ]: seven kids?
[ Ivy ]: That's rather un-villian like of you, Joe.
[ Ivy ]: What kind of charity?
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Who said I was a villain? Most of us in VILE aren't exactly evil you know.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Wow, seven kids...
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Probably a scholarship fund for orphans and underpriviledged kids
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Thats an image
[ Kidman ]: Master runs quite a few charities herself.
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Might name it in honour of the boss
[ Kidman ]: Hell, VILE is a charity for some of us...
[ Mikal ]: Okay, maybe I'll compromise on the number of kids.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I'd probably build a club or a talent agency or something
[ Mikal ]: But many kids is good, yeah?
[ DericStorm ]: I think that depends on your future wife *glances at Ivy*
[ Sarah-Nade ]: well have as many as you want, don't let me stop you
[ Sarah-Nade ]: seven's just a large number of little people
[ Sarah-Nade ]: at least for me
[ Joe_Kerr ]: wonders if Deric is fishing for a black eye
[ Ivy ]: Keep glancing away there, Deric.
[ Kidman ]: I thougt Ivy was dating Euge?
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: I guess I'll be straight out, then. That hurt.
[ Ivy ]: "Ivy" is not dating anyone at the moment.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: sorry
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Kiddo, you've got to stop jumping to conclusions
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: didn't mean to hurt you
[ Mikal ]: That's when it happens you know, Ivy. As soon as you say that, you'll be in a relationship.
[ Kidman ]: Chase brought it up, so I figured it was a good lead.
[Neutral Grounds]: Flag has entered at 2:23 pm
[ Mikal ]: (Didn't she date Josha?)
[ Joe_Kerr ]: When I retire I'll probably sell the secrets of my weapons to the UN in exchange for a large amount of money to be deposited into the charity fund also.
[ Kidman ]: (Do we have one?)
[ Flag ]: (Hello all! ))
[ Joe_Kerr ]: (ancient history bro)
[ DericStorm ]: (in the cartoon she did)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Hey Flag)
[ Ivy ]: (No, we don't have a Josha and I don't think they really dated in the cartoon.)
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: take care of yourself
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: see you around Anie
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: All the best
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: *sighs*
[ Ivy ]: Hey Flag!
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: Night.
[ Mikal ]: Shalom Flag.
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: And for the record, I don't think any less of you
[ Ivy ]: (They did dance at the end of a season.)
[ Flag ]: ( :D )
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: Keep smiling kiddo
[ Joe_Kerr ]: (Carmen played Cupid.)
[ Mikal ]: (We had talks of Ivy and Mikal, but realized it was way too difficult to have that make sense.)
[ Joe_Kerr ]: (gotta run. Things to do, places to be. Ciao)
[ Kidman->Joe_Kerr ]: I'm working on it, mate...
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: :)
[ Joe_Kerr->Kidman ]: bye
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (well yeah but love never makes sense)
[ Mikal ]: Shalom Joe.
[ Flag ]: (Later Joe. :) )
[ Joe_Kerr ]: Shalom
[ Ivy ]: (Right. No RP time.)
[ Ivy ]: Later Joe.
