Welcome! You have entered [Neutral Grounds] at 11:43 am
[ Kidman ]: Try to always stay in character. (Use parentheses for out-of-character chats.)
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: You're back
[ Kidman ]: Yes!
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: You left right as I came in
[ Kidman ]: Majick.
[ Kidman ]: Had to switch laundry.
[ Kidman ]: And appear to be not completely useless.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: This is what Bran does in his spare time: http://acro-base.com/Aconcagua-Speed-Flying,50.html
[ Kidman ]: No one got a shot of him doing it!
[ Kidman ]: First person is cool, but I wanted to see what the guy looked like.
[ Kidman ]: Flying off the mountain
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Yeah, that would be cool
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I'm writing another RP post with Bran
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Setting him up a bit more
[ Kidman ]: In PS? Neat!
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Yep
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I'm going to have him leaving Wales
[ Kidman ]: But who will feed the captives in his basement while he's gone?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: :P
[ Kidman ]: I wish I could do some collabs with some of the ACMEs
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: That would be a fun post to read
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Almost done
[ Kidman ]: I'm hoping at some point to cross paths with Chase.
[ Kidman ]: That would be wicked fun
[ Kidman ]: brb
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has entered at 12:51 pm
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Good evening.
[ EarlJr ]: hey guys
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: How are you this fine night?
[ EarlJr ]: reasonably well
[ EarlJr ]: and you?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Same here.
[ Kidman ]: (frickn' finally)
[ Kidman ]: Yeah!
[ Kidman ]: I'm back in action!
[ Kidman ]: Hey Euge
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: You want to proof read?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1417gR5zebyLbvE22NXN05nKHV4f9_EF2mLu7yY-9TvQ/edit
[ EarlJr ]: did I miss anything exciting?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Not really
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: It's been fairly uneventful afternoon
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I'm on it.:-)
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: (This is neat though: http://acro-base.com/Aconcagua-Speed-Flying,50.html)
[ Kidman ]: http://www.theseventhstarprojects.com/puppies.jpg
[ Kidman ]: I made this!
[ EarlJr ]: not that I don't grasp the basic concept, but was there a particular incident that provoked you to make that one?
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Oh Bran, you so creepy.;-)
[ Kidman ]: They've both been at Chase for the past few days and I couldn't get this picture out of my head.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: You could probably smooth out the first paragraph, and there's a comma you don't need;
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Bran wandered over to the table, located near the center of the room.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Bran wandered over to a table located near the center of the room.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Or wait;
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Bran wandered over to a table that was located near the center of the room.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: crap;
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Bran wandered over to a table near the center of the room.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Yeah.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Editing.
[ EarlJr ]: at him?
[ EarlJr ]: about what?
[ Kidman ]: Hey Chase when you were a detective and Carmen and was Carmen pretty did you beat up all the bad guys do you have a gun did Carmen have a gun will you teach me how to be adetective Chase?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: Thanks
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: I was afk for a sec
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: afk?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: away from keyboard
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I learned something new.
[ EarlJr ]: oh, that
[ EarlJr ]: just the usual exuberance of FNG's. I expect it will work itself out once they actually spend some time doing real fieldwork.
[ Kidman ]: FNG?
[ EarlJr ]: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=FNG
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: Maybe the name Bryn is too close to Bran
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: I like Bryn though
[ EarlJr ]: Foolish New Grunt
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I was wondering about that, actually.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Especially as Brychan is his last name.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: I think I might keep it.... Though it is a little close
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: Brychan would actually be his father's name...
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: I don't really have a last name
[ Kidman ]: Ah. Then I would be a FOG.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: You should call him 'Lurch'
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: ;-)
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: He he
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: I can save names for other henchmen... err employees
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: :D
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: Vladimir is the pilot
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: Bryn is closer to Bran
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: in terms of relationship
[ EarlJr ]: alright, I'll bite; FOG?
[ Kidman ]: *** old grunt
[ Kidman ]: I've been around a long time.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: err slaves.;-)
[ EarlJr ]: I see
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: Bran has to be careful what he says around people....
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: I've been being more careful if you haven't noticed.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: With that post, Bran is ready to go anywhere
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: Depending on where the RP goes and where Bran and Kidman go, we might be able to do a post together.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Sweet!
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I think Carmen plans for me to get in the thick of things, so I should cross a few paths.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Eventually.
[ Kidman ]: Yep...I think I came in around the time Master was really setting up shop.
[ Kidman ]: We never met until recently, though.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: I might be doing something with Ivy, but Chase has not confirmed that yet.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: That's a weird matchup.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Straight arrow Ivy with creepy Bran.
[ Kidman ]: Almost did once, but I chickened out.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: I think that will be fun!
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: Connie met Carmen once
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: In the story I need to finish still....
[ EarlJr ]: (sorry, phone call)
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: She did?
[ EarlJr ]: You really love your wine, don't you Bran?
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: You did a collab with Carmen?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: Yeah
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: And with VIc
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Lovely stuff.
[ Kidman ]: CMRJ45 forever, man.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Is this around? I need to see that!
[ EarlJr ]: ...
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Is it part of the canon here?
[ EarlJr ]: english, please
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: No
[ Kidman ]: 1945 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild Jeroboam
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: We are still working on it....
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: When in the timeline is this?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: I was having problems with the end
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: I'm not quite sure
[ Kidman ]: Surely you know the story.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: It was at Christmas time
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Not again...
[ Kidman ]: :biggrin:
[ EarlJr ]: no, I don't think I've heard this one
[ Kidman ]: Really? Well I must fix that!
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: This is getting out of hand...
[ Kidman ]: hahahahaha
[ Kidman ]: I will, never, ever let this die.
[ EarlJr ]: I only speak two languages; english and bad english. I don't recognize a single word of what you said
[ Kidman ]: Ever.
[ EarlJr ]: is it supposed to be some kind of drink?
[ Kidman ]: You will enjoy this, Euge.
[ Kidman ]: http://www.theseventhstarprojects.com/branwine.htm
[ Kidman ]: Go a third down.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: How in the heck did Connie end up with Vic and Carmen??
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: It's a long story
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: Carmen does something for Connie
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: awwwww....<3
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: YEah
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: She is pretty nice
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Master is wonderful.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: So needless to say, Connie likes Carmen pretty well.
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Join us Connie....jooooiiiin ussssss
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: The story has been dormant for a couple months, but I just posted something on it today.
[ EarlJr ]: (I wish I could convince my dad text messaging is not the herald of the apocalypse)
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: Which reminds me... I need to do something on Rose's birthday story.
[ Kidman ]: (sounds like my mother 15 years back. Porn was going to come flying out of the internet and all that)
[ Kidman->Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Posted as in public?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: No
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: I just started it back up again
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: It was my turn
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan->Kidman ]: It has been for awhile.
[ EarlJr ]: Bran, I have to ask, since this question has been nagging at me ever since we were first introduced;
[ EarlJr ]: why associate yourself with ACME?
[ Kidman ]: You don't think he's morally ambiguous enough?
[ EarlJr ]: You obviously have the means to outright buy the agency, so why play at a subservient role?
[ EarlJr ]: I know next to nothing about him, other than he has a pet project of moving a castle brick by brick
[ Kidman ]: He does?
[ Kidman ]: What a strange guy you are, 1945 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild Jeroboam.
[ EarlJr ]: (I lost the chat log for that particular one. Check with Scarlet or Storm if you want the particulars. They were privy to the chat.)
[ Kidman ]: Did you know he enslaves the people he catches trying to rob him?
[ EarlJr ]: enslaves?
[ Kidman ]: (maybe I will. hehhe hee)
[ Kidman ]: He gives them a 'choice'
[ EarlJr ]: that seeme unnecessarily risky
[ Kidman ]: be his servant, or....
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: (Sorry, I was afk)
[ Kidman ]: He loves being rich and powerful. He just rolls around in it, even if it doesn't make sense.
[ EarlJr ]: (if you do, could you send me a copy?)
[ Kidman ]: (of course. Poking Bran is fun for all.)
[ Kidman ]: Until Chase schools him.
[ Kidman ]: Which was so awesome I died.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Ah... To answer your question, I find life very boring sometimes, and ACME gives me a way to eliminate that boredom.
[ Kidman ]: He wants you to amuse him, commoner.
[ EarlJr ]: you died? How are you still here?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: That wasn't where I was going....
[ Kidman ]: Zombie.
[ EarlJr ]: are you a vampire? Did the Countess turn you into a vampire?
[ Kidman ]: Actually, still a zombie from when Storm killed me.
[ Kidman ]: Bran was there.
[ Kidman ]: It was very dramatic
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Yes... So very dramatic
[ EarlJr ]: so it's for the adrenline?
[ Kidman ]: for the brainnnnnz
[ EarlJr ]: there's more effective ways to get a rush than glorified cop work
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: That is probably true
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: But for now, this will maintain my interest.
[ Kidman ]: Now dance for me, fools.
[ Kidman ]: [ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]:1945 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild Jeroboam
[ EarlJr ]: hush, you
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: The impersonator
[ Kidman ]: It's not that hard.
[ EarlJr ]: paperwork and a police academy hold your interest? Have you even been deployed for actual fieldwork yet?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: To be honest, I haven't done much of anything.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Yet...
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I have high hopes.
[ Kidman ]: Of what?
[ EarlJr ]: waits for it
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: 's phone rings
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Excuse me
[ EarlJr ]: *mutters to Kidman* Common phrase around ACME. Two words. Both begin with C.
[ Kidman ]: Did he just call himself?
[ Kidman->EarlJr ]: Eh?
[ EarlJr->Kidman ]: really? really?
[ Kidman->EarlJr ]: What?
[ EarlJr->Kidman ]: my hint is about as subtle as an anvil
[ EarlJr->Kidman ]: Catching Carmen
[ EarlJr->Kidman ]: :V
[ Kidman->EarlJr ]: Oh. I thought it was something more censored.;-p
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: finishes the call
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Call myself?
[ EarlJr->Kidman ]: nah. I save that for RP's on other sites
[ Kidman->EarlJr ]: ;-)
[ Kidman ]: High hopes of what?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Aspirations: I only tell my plans to my best friends....
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Quoted off my file.
[ Kidman ]: I'm not your best friend? I am shocked. SHOCKED
[ Kidman ]: We've been through so much together.
[ Kidman ]: Remeber when I became a zombie?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I could not forget
[ Kidman ]: And 1945 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild Jeroboam?
[ Kidman ]: Did none of that mean anything to you?
[ Kidman ]: :cry:
[ EarlJr ]: ignoring the over the top sarcasm, I only ask because your file came across my desk in a staff meeting.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: That doesn't work on me Kidman.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Not all ACME agents are the same
[ Kidman ]: Truth is, he had no idea what he has high hopes for.
[ EarlJr ]: The person described therein can, in my opinion, be summarized in one word.
[ Kidman ]: waits anxiously
[ EarlJr ]: liability.
[ Kidman ]: Hmmm...not what I was hoping for, but still good.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Such drama
[ Kidman ]: Found a picture of Bran!
[ Kidman ]: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kpzxp5IIc81qzdsi5o1_400.jpg
[ EarlJr ]: just wanted to give you a heads up. What we see here is someone we aren't sure if we can trust.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Completely amazing.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Kidman
[ Kidman ]: Look at that golden face. How can you not trust that?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Eugene, I would never trust someone who is rich.
[ Kidman ]: Which is why I'm giving all my money to charity.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: In my experiences, you can never truely be sure what you are dealing with.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: *truly
[ Kidman ]: For instance, did you know I enslave people I catch trying to rob me?
[ Kidman ]: :whistle:
[ EarlJr ]: that's why I try my best to find out which face I am dealing with.
[ EarlJr ]: subtle, Kidman. I didn't know VILE taught ventriloquism too.
[ Kidman ]: bows
[ Kidman ]: You have stumped Bran.
[ Kidman ]: Or I have.
[ Kidman ]: One of us did.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I will say that I harbor no love for VILE.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: In any shape or form.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: You can trust me on that.
[ Kidman ]: That makes you fully qualified for ACME.
[ Kidman ]: Do you like kicking people?
[ Kidman ]: You get extra points for that.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I only kick people on occasion.
[ EarlJr ]: no, I think that's still Ivy's domain
[ Kidman ]: Well, he still harbours no love for VILE. That's worth something.
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has entered at 2:49 pm
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I can't stand thieves
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Good evening, Mr. Storm
[ Kidman ]: Hullo, Storm. Just interrogating Branflakes.
[ EarlJr ]: hey Deric
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has left at 2:50 pm
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has entered at 2:50 pm
[ DericStorm ]: :(
[ EarlJr ]: find the door this time?
[ Kidman ]: What else you got, Flakes?
[ DericStorm ]: Having trouble with typing
[ DericStorm ]: now it works
[ EarlJr ]: I was just curious as to why Bran chose ACME, of all routes.
[ DericStorm ]: flipped a coin?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: All these abusive names, Kidman...tis...tis
[ Kidman ]: 'Flakes'?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: So abusive....
[ Kidman ]: The abuse will continue until you say what the 'choice' is.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Kidman.... Let me get this straight... Do you have secrets?
[ Kidman ]: ....Hmmm.... Yes.
[ Kidman ]: One.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: And I don't suppose you tell it to people?
[ Kidman ]: I've told Master.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Well, I don't really tell my secrets to other people.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: It defeats the purpose.
[ Kidman ]: My secret affects me. Yours affects a LOT of people.
[ EarlJr ]: Bravo. I was wondering how long it would take you to bite back.
[ Kidman ]: And is also probably illegal.
[ Kidman ]: And maybe a human rights violation.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: What an imagination....
[ Kidman ]: To be honest, ACME should probably investigate you.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: People don't investigate me...
[ Kidman ]: he says mysteriously
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: With a few exceptions
[ EarlJr ]: I think we're waiting for you to elaborate
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Elaborate on the exceptions?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: No, thank you.
[ Kidman ]: :rolleyes:
[ Kidman ]: Yeah.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Why don't we talk about Mr. Storm?
[ Kidman ]: And don't you ever try to match what I have to hide with what you do.
[ Kidman ]: Lets talk about Stormy!
[ Kidman ]: How you doing, man?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I'm not an egoist. Let's be fair with our conversations here.
[ DericStorm ]: huh?
[ DericStorm ]: no, please continue discussing Mr. Brychan
[ Kidman ]: He annoyed me too much.
[ EarlJr ]: (Bran used Redirect! It's not very effective.)
[ Kidman ]: (I loled)
[ Kidman ]: Stormy, what do you think about Chanflakes?
[ EarlJr ]: You may not be an egoist as you claim, but your evasive nature tends to draw questions.
[ Kidman ]: Who do you trust more, me or him?
[ DericStorm ]: him, only because we work together
[ Kidman ]: What about you, Euge?
[ Kidman ]: If you needed to trust one of us, for real.
[ EarlJr ]: difficult. I'm equally suspicious of both of you.
[ Kidman ]: Have I ever done anything even remotely suspicious?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Joined VILE
[ EarlJr ]: you've aligned yourself with VILE. Suspicious enough for me.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: We all have our motives.
[ Kidman ]: ? I don't see what's suspicious about that.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Exactly
[ Kidman ]: I'm not there because I'm a criminal.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Does anyone know of a good place to buy flowers?
[ Kidman ]: I'm probably cleaner that anyone else in this room.
[ DericStorm ]: :rolleyes:
[ Kidman ]: I never decked anyone, Stormy.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Flowers? anyone?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I don't buy them often
[ EarlJr ]: passes Bran the yellow pages
[ EarlJr ]: I don't know the local florists
[ Kidman ]: How does this work?
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I see.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: .....
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I need some exceptional flowers for my mother's birthday
[ Kidman ]: Don't get cut flowers.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Well, I must be leaving
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Later, Mr. Storm, Eugene
[ Kidman ]: Off you go, then.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Kidman, be careful out there....
[ EarlJr ]: bye Bran
[ Kidman ]: ...?
[ DericStorm ]: bye
[Neutral Grounds]: Bran_Ap_Brychan has left at 3:36 pm
[ Kidman ]: He's waiting out there to ambush me when I leave. I just know it.
[ EarlJr ]: ambush you?
[ EarlJr ]: what, do you think he's going to enslave you?
[ Kidman ]: Maybe. Although then I would know what the 'choice' is.
[ Kidman ]: It's got to be something gruesome to scare all thhose people into serving him.
[ Kidman ]: He said it wasn't handing them over to the cops, which is what he is supposed to do.
[ Kidman ]: So what, then?
[ Kidman ]: Not the sort of thing I can just let go of.
[ EarlJr ]: probably just trying for generic intimidation.
[ Kidman ]: Somethings up with that guy.... People who have that much money don't reallythink within the confines of the law.
[ Kidman ]: Add that to a sense of superiority and entitlement...
[ Kidman ]: But you guys are ACMEs. I'm sure you'll figure it out.
[ EarlJr ]: give it time. People like him tend not to have the patience to lay out decent traps.
[ Kidman ]: Hope you're right.
[ Kidman ]: But I must be off, as it is late here.
[ Kidman ]: Night, loves
