[ Suhara ]: *practices the white crane Tai Chi move*
[ Ivy ]: Hey Kidman.
[ Chase ]: pour Reisling for Carmen.
[ Kidman ]: yawns
[ Chase ]: Kidman, come in, and shut the door.
[ SwedishFish ]: angles the screen to hide what he is doing.
[ SwedishFish ]: Hallo, Ginger.
[ Kidman ]: Hey loves
[ Kidman ]: slept in today
[ Carmen ]: Hello dear, come, have a seat.
[ Suhara ]: ...I have not met this VILE agent.
[ Suhara ]: Would you like tea?
[ Kidman ]: curls up next to Master.
[ Carmen ]: You can tell she's VILE? You've still got the intuition.
[ Chase ]: Doesn't take intuition to spot VILE.
[ Kidman ]: Oh hullo...not at the moment.
[ Suhara ]: I have a photographic memory of the ACME agents.
[ Kidman ]: Cheers, though.
[ Suhara ]: Especially the kids who play their hippity-hop in front of the garden.
[ SwedishFish ]: *looks up* was not me.
[ Suhara ]: *pours the hot water and rinses the tea leaves once*
[ Chase ]: *raises eyebrows at 'hippity-hop' *
[ Suhara ]: *continues with the mini tea ceremony*
[ Chase ]: *Thinks tea leaves reminds him of... tea.*
[ Kidman ]: Candy loves children.
[ Carmen ]: Am I getting that wine soon, bartend?
[ SwedishFish ]: sighs.
[ Chase ]: *Chuckles* Right
[ Suhara ]: *finsihes pouring the tea*
[ Chase ]: hands Carmen the glass of Reisling.
[ Kidman ]: can't believe Master is drinking again.
[ Suhara ]: Four cups... for Sophie-chan, Gunnar-kun, Chase-kun... and one for me.
[ Scarlet ]: Thank you.
[ Suhara ]: *Take his cup and hobbles back to they grey chair*
[ Chase ]: *nods* Thanks Suhara-sama
[ SwedishFish ]: is curious.
[ SwedishFish ]: Why am I "Gunnar-kun"?
[ Chase ]: Don't ask.
[ SwedishFish ]: closes laptop and accepts the tea.
[ Scarlet ]: sips the tea...
[ Kidman ]: Would you rather Candy-chan?
[ Suhara ]: It is because you are young... and I am old.
[ Suhara ]: *sips tea*
[ SwedishFish ]: Nej, Ginger-chan.
[ Kidman ]: (Did Suhara dethrone Chase?)
[ Chase ]: *gets out some ice, mixes the tea with his scotch*
[ Suhara ]: (This chair is much better for Suhara's back(
[ Chase ]: (I gave it to him.)
[ Chase ]: (Senority)
[ Ivy ]: (how nice.)
[ Chase ]: (I'm nice like that.)
[ Kidman ]: gives both guys a star
[ Carmen ]: Mm, looks like Chase is close to a full constellation.
[ Suhara ]: *sips tea*
[ Suhara ]: Chase-kun has always been a good student.
[ Suhara ]: He collects many stars.
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs*
[ Carmen ]: I'm sure, since he was six.
[ Scarlet ]: Since he was six...
[ Chase ]: I like to think three, but six is fine.
[ SwedishFish ]: finishes his tea and returns to chatting with Gudrun.
[ Ivy ]: Working on your term paper, Gunnar?
[ SwedishFish ]: Term paper?
[ SwedishFish ]: Oh. Ah...yes....
[ Chase ]: He's just exhibiting anti-social behavior, don't snoop, Ivy.
[ Ivy ]: You're typing pretty fast.
[ Ivy ]: *shrugs* I was a detective once...
[ SwedishFish ]: I have it stored all in my mind.
[ Carmen ]: *To Ivy* Once, and always.
[ Suhara ]: zzzzzzz
[ Kidman ]: zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[ SwedishFish ]: tries to cover a laugh.
[ Ivy ]: Well, not much to spy on as an academy instructor.
[ Chase ]: *Drinks his scotch-greentea*
[ Ivy ]: Aside from the kids who skip class.
[ Ivy ]: ...*raises an eyebrow*
[ Kidman ]: Do you kick them...?
[ Ivy ]: did you spike your green tea?
[ SwedishFish ]: I did not skip class. I promise you.
[ Chase ]: *To Ivy* Mixed drink -- Shanghai style, want to try? *offers glass*
[ Ivy ]: *takes a sip*
[ Ivy ]: not bad.
[ Ivy ]: not really my thing...
[ Kidman ]: Whatcha doing, Candychan?
[ Ivy ]: but not bad.
[ Suhara ]: *dreams of the five rings*
[ SwedishFish ]: ...I write my term paper just now...
[ Carmen ]: The alcohol from the scotch must make the tea naturally sweeter.
[ Chase ]: *Offers Carmen a sip*
[ Kidman ]: Who can take a sunrise, Sprinkle it in dew
[ Kidman ]: Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two?
[ Carmen ]: No, thank you, I can already smell it from here.
[ Kidman ]: The candychan, the candychan can.
[ Chase ]: *Chuckles*
[ Kidman ]: The candychan can cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
[ Suhara ]: *dreams of little people singing a strange candy song*
[ SwedishFish ]: is suddenly aware of the mockery and glares at Kidman.
[ Suhara ]: zzzz... zzzzz
[ SwedishFish ]: How...stands it with you...Ivy?
[ Carmen ]: Should we let him sleep?
[ Chase ]: Suhara? He's fine.
[ Kidman ]: nestles besides Master.
[ Ivy ]: I'm alright, Gunnar.
[ SwedishFish ]: Huh? What?
[ Ivy ]: I'm sorry... what were you asking?
[ Carmen ]: *To Kidman, with a laugh* You must be feeling cuddly today.
[ SwedishFish ]: You are talking to me?
[ Suhara ]: *wakes up* You should create yin and yang within yourself... never favoring one weapon.
[ Ivy ]: ...nevermind.
[ Scarlet ]: is much amused.
[ Chase ]: looks at Suhara blankly, then takes a long drink.
[Neutral Grounds]: Connie_Girl has entered at 12:33 pm
[ Kidman ]: Yes...burnt myself out worrying about you. Need recharge...is that okay?
[ Suhara ]: I am taking to you Chase-kun.
[ Ivy ]: Hey Connie.
[ SwedishFish ]: Hallo...Doctor Conrad...
[ Connie_Girl ]: Hello, all
[ Kidman ]: Hullo
[ Chase ]: wonders what Suhara means.
[ Chase ]: Connie, come in, shut the door.
[ Scarlet ]: looks at Gunnar quizzedly...
[ Suhara ]: Koniciwa, ACME detective Constance.
[ SwedishFish ]: *looks up* Wait... Miss Constance...
[ Scarlet ]: Hello, Connie...
[ SwedishFish ]: looks nervously at Sophie.
[ Scarlet ]: Are you quite all right, Gunnar?
[ Scarlet ]: gets off her chair and walks over to Gunnar...
[ Carmen ]: Hello Constance, welcome.
[ Kidman ]: Is Candy in love?
[ SwedishFish ]: Jaja...
[ SwedishFish ]: Wait... What?
[ Carmen ]: *To Kidman* Quite all right, of course.
[ Kidman ]: :biggrin:
[ Scarlet ]: sits down next to Gunnar and looks over at his computer...
[ SwedishFish ]: is unaware.
[ Suhara ]: *goes back to sleep*
[ Kidman ]: absorbs healing Master rays.
[ Chase ]: *To Ivy* Ever wonder why you got into this line of work?
[ Scarlet ]: Gudrun Nygard.
[ Ivy ]: *To Chase* I'm reminded every once in a while...
[ Kidman ]: She needed a legal excuse to kick people?
[ SwedishFish ]: *starts* What?!
[ Scarlet ]: sips her tea...
[ SwedishFish ]: closes the laptop.
[ Scarlet ]: points to Gunnar's screen...
[ Scarlet ]: It's on your contact list, dear Gunnar - don't look so pale.
[ Scarlet ]: And you had hardly said goodbye.
[ Chase ]: *Finishes the scotch*
[ Kidman ]: Who's that?
[ SwedishFish ]: opens it slowly to say goodbye.
[ Ivy ]: You've been on that scotch a lot recently.
[ Chase ]: I think Euge brought in the bottle... he hasn't had any though.
[ Carmen ]: I brought in the bottle.
[ Scarlet ]: Mr. Grovington? He asked about his alcohol yesterday.
[ Chase ]: What?
[ SwedishFish ]: puts his books and computer in his backpack.
[ Kidman ]: 8s
[ Kidman ]: Crafty awd Master you is.
[ Carmen ]: There's my name, on the cap.
[ Carmen ]: Or did you throw that away?
[ Kidman ]: :clap:
[ Chase ]: Why did I think it was Euge?
[ SwedishFish ]: Hallo, Miss Constance.
[ Suhara ]: *dreams about Chase being pwned*
[ Connie_Girl ]: *To Gunnar* Hello! How are you doing today?
[ SwedishFish ]: (LOL)
[ SwedishFish ]: I am...ah...fine.
[ Ivy ]: (LOL - Suhara!)
[ Ivy ]: I think Euge mentioned he brought in alcohol... but not the scotch.
[ Ivy ]: Did you just steal from Carmen?
[ Kidman ]: No one steals from Master. That's an oxymoron.
[ Chase ]: You can't have brought in the scotch...
[ Kidman ]: wonders what Candy's problem is.
[ Carmen ]: Hold on, it's a Seagram's VO, the label is damaged, yes?
[ Chase ]: *looks at the label*
[ SwedishFish ]: thinks it's none of Gingerbread's business.
[ Carmen ]: It doesn't tell you which year, but you know Seagram's went out of business in 2000.
[ Carmen ]: So the scotch you're drinking is at least 12 years old.
[ Kidman ]: I thought they made ginger ale.
[ Chase ]: ...
[ SwedishFish ]: *whispers to Sophie* How long were you there?
[ Chase ]: *Puts the bottle away*
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has entered at 12:49 pm
[ Scarlet ]: Where?
[ SwedishFish ]: Here.
[ Kidman ]: Bad Chase, stealing from Master. You'll break the space-time continuum like that.
[ Connie_Girl ]: Good Morning, Deric!
[ Chase ]: Storm, get in, and shut the door quietly.
[ SwedishFish ]: Hej, Deric.
[ Scarlet ]: Good evening, Detective Storm.
[ DericStorm ]: morning all
[ Suhara ]: Konichiwa Deric-kun.
[ Kidman ]: Hey Storm.
[ Ivy ]: Hey there Deric.
[ SwedishFish ]: Why must we be so quiet this day, Boss?
[ DericStorm ]: Konichiwa suhara-senpai
[ Scarlet ]: *looks at Gunnar* Long enough...
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Chase ]: *To Gunnar* We haven't been quiet, you've been quiet.
[ Suhara ]: *moves around a bit in the grey chair*
[ Ivy ]: (Good day - lots of people)
[ Chase ]: Glad you like the chair, there.
[ Kidman ]: Why have you been so strange about the door, Chase?
[ Chase ]: What do you mean?
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has entered at 12:53 pm
[ DericStorm ]: (actually, i just wanted to see who was in here. i gotta go dig out my car now that it stopped snowing)
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has left at 12:54 pm
[ EarlJr ]: nice crowd
[ Connie_Girl ]: Good Morning, Eugene
[ Suhara ]: One student leaves, another enters.
[ Chase ]: Euge -- did you or did you not bring in a bottle of scotch?
[ Kidman ]: (sucks to be him...)
[ Suhara ]: Konichiwa Eugene-kun.
[ SwedishFish ]: Hello, Kopter.
[ EarlJr ]: hello everyone
[ Kidman ]: Hey killer
[ Carmen ]: Chase, give it a rest.
[ Ivy ]: Wow... the nicknames that go around.
[ Chase ]: There ought to be tags, in here.
[ Kidman ]: So what does "get in, and shut the door quietly." mean?
[ Suhara ]: Chase-kun, if you have stolen the scotch from Carmen... you should apologize.
[ Chase ]: *To Kidman* Suhara was sleeping.
[ EarlJr ]: ...
[ Chase ]: *To Suhara* That bottle was mislabeled.
[ Suhara ]: I do not think she would lie.
[ SwedishFish ]: wonders why they are talking about scotch.
[ Suhara ]: *taps cane on Chase's foot lightly*
[ Chase ]: *Defensive shrug*
[ Kidman ]: is living the dream.
[ Carmen ]: *Raises hand* May I?
[ Suhara ]: *nods*
[ Chase ]: No, you stay out of this.
[ Kidman ]: :mean:
[ Carmen ]: It's... just scotch.
[ Carmen ]: only scotch... simply, distilled alcohol, single malt, grain.
[ Chase ]: Context!
[ EarlJr ]: *to Ivy* what did I walk into?
[ Scarlet ]: sighs.
[ Ivy ]: *To Euge* A trial.
[ Carmen ]: Context, of course.
[ Carmen ]: In and out of context, we're still in a room of seven other people.
[ Chase ]: Right, never mind.
[ Ivy ]: Soooo....
[ Ivy ]: is it Carmen's bottle?
[ Chase ]: What do you think?
[ Carmen ]: I apologise, what was the prior conversation? Gunnar's distant girlfriend?
[ SwedishFish ]: My...what?!
[ Kidman ]: Did I call it right?
[ Kidman ]: Yes!
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Ivy ]: Gunnar has a distant girlfriend?
[ Kidman ]: Can I hug you?
[ Suhara ]: Love, even divided by the oceans can be strong.
[ SwedishFish ]: Me?
[ SwedishFish ]: No! You can not hug me.
[ Kidman ]: Awww....
[ SwedishFish ]: It is a friend...and...she is not distant.
[ Kidman ]: ...bet you'd let Anja hug you....
[ SwedishFish ]: Anja?
[ SwedishFish ]: Oh...
[ Carmen ]: I don't believe Anja asks.
[ Chase ]: Right, she just... hugs.
[ Chase ]: or pokes.
[ Kidman ]: Yeah...I don't want to do that.
[ SwedishFish ]: I do not like hugs.
[ Kidman ]: shrugs.
[ Suhara ]: *takes out his pack bento box*
[ Chase ]: *Didn't see Suhara bring in a bento box*
[ Chase ]: *Is decently surprised*
[ Suhara ]: *takes out a pair of chopsticks from his kimono sleeve*
[ Suhara ]: *eats slowly*
[ SwedishFish ]: is uncomfortable with Sophie beside him.
[ Kidman ]: wonders if Suhara has a girlfriend
[ Suhara ]: wonders why Kidman is looking at him
[ Scarlet ]: sips her tea...
[ Suhara ]: *To Kidman* Would you like some Sushi?
[ Kidman ]: Did you make that?
[ Suhara ]: No, but it is from my favorite restaraunt.
[ Kidman ]: Or did someone else? :heart:
[ Kidman ]: Ah.
[ Suhara ]: ... yes, Chef Hagiwara.
[ SwedishFish ]: feels better next to Sophie instead of Kidman, though.
[ Suhara ]: He understands how much thought needs to be put into omakase.
[ Carmen ]: Chef Hagiwara hasn't retired?
[ Ivy ]: Funny... I was just thinking of Sushi yesterday.
[ Suhara ]: How can one retire when they have so much to give?
[ Kidman ]: What if he wishes to do something else?
[ SwedishFish ]: *mutters* How can one compete when so much is lost?
[ Kidman ]: knows Sophie is probably a better choice at the moment.
[ Carmen ]: He was old even when Chase was in Yale.
[ Chase ]: ...oh, that guy.
[ Suhara ]: *nods* did we not used to visit his Izakaya when you were both detectives.
[ Suhara ]: ?
[ Ivy ]: Chase was in Yale?
[ Carmen ]: He hasn't flaunted his degree to you, Ivy?
[ Ivy ]: Not that I remember.
[ Chase ]: *Chuckles*
[ Chase ]: Political Science, not important for detective work.
[ Ivy ]: sounds very much like you.
[ Carmen ]: Decently important for other endeavours, I'm sure.
[ SwedishFish ]: I trust it is very useful.
[ Suhara ]: education is most important.
[ SwedishFish ]: I trusted experience was most important?
[ Ivy ]: Where did Carmen go to school?
[ Carmen ]: Mm, define "school"?
[ EarlJr ]: formal education?
[ Ivy ]: I doubt Carmen is giving anything away.
[ Suhara ]: I will be back. It is time for my walk.
[ Chase ]: Strings of things, none of them under her real name.
[Neutral Grounds]: Suhara has left at 1:26 pm
[ Chase ]: He's fast when he wants to be.
[ SwedishFish ]: (Haha!)
[ Ivy ]: (lol)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Hullo, love. Did you see Flag's post?
[ Carmen ]: (Do forward 'props' to Radeej for me?)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Ah, I did.
[ Chase ]: (For his Suhara? Sure.)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'm surprised I didn't think of it.
[ Ivy ]: *grabs a beer*
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I figured a world with the C5 wouldn't question a missile strike.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: But that makes less sense to me now.
[ Scarlet ]: helps herself to the remainder of the tea...
[ Ivy ]: It's nice to see Suhara here every once in a while.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Mm, it's a US government tungsten rod, quite different from a missile.
[ Ivy ]: We don't get to see him around campus anymore.
[ Chase ]: Do we have any more beer?
[ Ivy ]: Endless supply.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: *Laughs* But yes, I'm sure ACME will address it somehow.
[ EarlJr ]: I hope we can get him more involved with the students somehow.
[ Ivy ]: International beers... it helps with our geography.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Yes, but the appereance and effect would be about the same, I'd think.
[ Ivy ]: Look... Hoegaarden... *reads label* Belgium.
[ Chase ]: *Looks at Carmen's wine* You're not going to let that go to waste, right?
[ Ivy ]: You know Suhara might be slow but he can still throw down a few VILE henchmen.
[ Kidman ]: Figures that would impress you.
[ Carmen ]: *To Chase* Take it, but you'll have to finish it.
[ EarlJr ]: I'll stick with a US label, thank you.
[ Chase ]: *Chuckles at Kidman's comment*
[ Kidman ]: not 'bad guys'. It has to be 'VILE henchmen'.
[ Ivy ]: *laughs* I generalize.
[ Kidman ]: not enough it seems...
[ Chase ]: takes Carmen's wine.
[ Chase ]: [ Chase ]: More kick per gulp.
[ EarlJr ]: I'm glad we have a sense of prioritization.
[ Ivy ]: well... he's already finsihed his scotch.
[ Ivy ]: (Something very Mad Men about that.)
[ SwedishFish ]: Boss, need you a driver?
[ Carmen ]: [ Chase ]: ... better than beer.
[ Chase ]: *To Gunnar* You offering to drive?
[ SwedishFish ]: I have not gotten a US license.
[ Ivy ]: I'm sure Chase can cab it.
[ EarlJr ]: in the interest of public safety, only the most petty cop would ticket you for that.
[ Chase ]: Right, and you'll be driving with a licensed passenger.
[ Scarlet ]: Gunnar, you asked me about getting a license months ago...
[ Scarlet ]: You should put some action on it.
[ SwedishFish ]: Probably.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Appearance, yes. But a missile doesn't quite destroy the building as cleanly as the tungsten rod.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: The boys did a fair amount of research.
[ Ivy ]: He has senior student syndrome.
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Scarlet ]: And the Medical Center is still missing some of your forms.
[ Chase ]: Procrastination?
[ Ivy ]: Everything that can be done later wwill be done later.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: True. Although wouldn't it be worse if the true cause was made known?
[ SwedishFish ]: I have hoped that I will not be here all too longer.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Can you imagine the panic the idea of things shooting from the sky would cause?
[ Kidman ]: feels sad for Candy but isn't sure why.
[ Chase ]: If you wanted to a transfer, why didn't you say so?
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has entered at 1:42 pm
[ SwedishFish ]: Because I must finish with the Academy.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: hey hey hey!
[Neutral Grounds]: Connie_Girl has left at 1:42 pm
[ SwedishFish ]: Hej hej.
[ Chase ]: You can do distance credits... like Nevon.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I think I scared Connie_girl away
[ EarlJr ]: not really. Credits transter fairly easily
[ Chase ]: Ainsworth, get in here.
[ Scarlet ]: Ah, Mr. Ainsworth.
[ Kidman ]: Hullo,
[ EarlJr ]: Dan, welcome
[ Ivy ]: Hey Danny
[Neutral Grounds]: Connie_Girl has entered at 1:43 pm
[ Kidman ]: Never saw you afor, either.
[ SwedishFish ]: Can I get all my credits at Stockholm?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Pats has been on my case to come online more often... and she's never here.
[ Chase ]: Yeah, Svensson, doesn't take much, if you want to transfer.
[ Kidman ]: She comes on much later.
[ Kidman ]: Like about 12 hours from now.
[ Kidman ]: Or 10
[ SwedishFish ]: I shall wait until I have finished with my training.
[ Carmen ]: I would also suggest, Mr. Svensson, that you ask the Director before he's completely sober.
[ Kidman ]: Ha!
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I shall meet her... one day...
[ Chase ]: I'm not drunk.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *narrows eyes into the distance*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Who is drunk? Boss?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: On an OOC note;
[ Chase ]: Come talk to me after you're done with preliminary training, Gunnar, then we'll facilitate transfer.
[ SwedishFish ]: He has had a bottle of scotch and some wine.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/10/business/media/an-erotic-novel-50-shades-of-grey-goes-viral-with-women.html?_r=2&hp
[ EarlJr ]: just slightly intoxicated
[ SwedishFish ]: OK, Boss.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Note the store mentioned.
[ Chase ]: One glass of scotch, half of wine.
[ Carmen ]: [ DetectiveAwesome ]: We get to drink again!?
[ Kidman ]: spiked, of course.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: is excitied
[ Kidman ]: with green tea!
[ Chase ]: Yes, you can drink, but take your imaginary booze responsibly.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (Yeah, I think we stopped after Crimson did that weird thing that one time.)
[ SwedishFish ]: ...Who would play a pool game?
[ EarlJr ]: stops leaning on the pool table
[ Kidman ]: (what thing?)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (seriously how does one play pool in neutral grounds?)
[ EarlJr ]: (before your time kidman. I'll send you the chatlog if you're interested.)
[ Kidman ]: (Cheers, mate.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (Mr. G, you saved a chat lot from that long ago?)
[ SwedishFish ]: (What happened to Crimson, anyway?)
[ EarlJr ]: (one character had some issues with alcohol in here)
[ Ivy ]: *sips beer*
[ EarlJr ]: (yeah. It's reaching back but I think I still have it)
[ SwedishFish ]: No one would play pool... *sighs*
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Mm, the store in NJ?
[ Connie_Girl ]: I'll play pool
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: The same one I scored the book signing at.
[ SwedishFish ]: *thumbs up*
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Is in the NYT.
[ EarlJr->Kidman ]: email address?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Ah, lovely.
[ SwedishFish ]: gets up and begins to set for a game of 8-ball.
[ EarlJr->Kidman ]: despite my shadowy aura, I'm not psychic
[ Kidman->EarlJr ]: adelphus@hotmail.com
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Will there be more on your book in the New York Times as well?
[ Connie_Girl ]: *looks at the pool table* I'm not very good though
[ Kidman->EarlJr ]: Wasn't sure if we exchanged throu gmail that one time.
[ Scarlet ]: moves back to a stool by the bar area for a better view of everything...
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: If I'm that lucky. The connections are there.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I just need to get them to work.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Did you ever get your copy back?
[ Kidman->EarlJr ]: Cheers, love
[ SwedishFish ]: Here you get, Miss Constance. *hands Connie a pool stick*
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: My sister still has it, but I did tell her I want it for Avery.
[ Connie_Girl ]: takes pool stick
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Also, I've a few friends interested in this subject vying for a read as well.
[ SwedishFish ]: Would you want to start the game?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: You could always steer them to amazon.;-)
[ Connie_Girl ]: Uh, Okay
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'd just rather know your thoughts first.
[ Ivy ]: Hey Euge...
[ Ivy ]: WHen are you coming back to SF?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: You sent me the online link, but it's much nicer to see it in print.
[ Chase ]: About now.
[ EarlJr ]: I'll be back by the end of the day.
[ Ivy ]: Good... so I can start being more suspicious.
[ Carmen ]: Do tell, is this story moving just as slowly for you as it is for us?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: True...
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has entered at 1:59 pm
[ Chase ]: Heh.
[ Chase ]: No, not at all.
[ DericStorm ]: (god, i hate snow)
[ Chase ]: Storm, welcome back.
[ EarlJr ]: (I'm sorry for my apparent slacking, but work has been a zoo)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Deric!
[ Connie_Girl ]: takes careful aim.. before breaking
[ DericStorm ]: Hey Danny
[ Connie_Girl ]: Hmmm.. Not a very good break.
[ Scarlet ]: Hello there, Deric.
[ Ivy ]: Welcome back Derick
[ Ivy ]: *Deric
[ DericStorm ]: When'd Suhara split?
[ Chase ]: When you were gone.
[ SwedishFish ]: It is a good job so, Miss Constance.
[ Chase ]: He left... like lightning.
[ DericStorm ]: (in my stories, you called me that the first time we met, Ivy)
[ Chase ]: Connie, it's not bad, keep it up.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Yes, also I enjoyed reading the words, quite melodic to an extent.
[ SwedishFish ]: calls the 5 in the corner and pockets it.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: So you did get to see it a bit?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: It reminded me of when we spoke for the second time after a long while.
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has left at 2:03 pm
[ Scarlet ]: smiles.
[ SwedishFish ]: misses on the 3-12-2 combination.
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has entered at 2:03 pm
[ SwedishFish ]: Your turn, Miss Constance. You are the striped balls.
[ Ivy ]: computer problems?
[ DericStorm ]: (wow, i have no luck today)
[ DericStorm ]: (yeah, blu screen of death)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: And how you were explaining so many things to me, along with images, songs and videos.
[ Carmen ]: (Ah, my condolences)
[ Connie_Girl ]: knocks the 10 ball into the pocket.
[ SwedishFish ]: nods.
[ Scarlet ]: Brava, Connie~
[ Connie_Girl ]: :)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Nice one.
[ DericStorm ]: nice shot connie
[ Ivy ]: Seems ACME has some skills.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: So it translates well?
[ Connie_Girl ]: takes aim at the 9 ball
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: That was always paramount.
[ Connie_Girl ]: but misses badly
[ Connie_Girl ]: (oops)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'd ask you more, but the weather is beautiful and it calls to me.
[ SwedishFish ]: takes the cue ball in hand, and sets for an easy shot on the 7.
[ SwedishFish ]: pockets the 7.
[ Chase ]: We usually have skills when it comes to sticks...
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Going for a walk today?
[ SwedishFish ]: rifles the 1 into the corner.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: gardening. Always gardening.
[ DericStorm ]: so, it's just connie and gunnar playing?
[ Connie_Girl ]: No one else wanted to...
[ SwedishFish ]: kisses the 6 into the corner and scratches.
[ DericStorm ]: ah
[ Ivy ]: Sticks?
[ Chase ]: Don't quote me for at least the next hour or so.
[ DericStorm ]: oooooooh, someone's snippy
[ SwedishFish ]: Deric, he has been drinking.
[ Ivy ]: and Drunk-Chase is a little more loose.
[ DericStorm ]: :grin: *chuckles evilly* reeeeeeeeally?
[ Connie_Girl ]: sets the cue ball near ball 11, which is a couple of inches away from a pocket
[ Kidman ]: Go fo it Storm.
[ Chase ]: Really. Not drunk.
[ Connie_Girl ]: knocks the ball into the pocket
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'm off. Cheers!
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Sounds lovely.
[ Kidman ]: I'm off, loves. Cheers!
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I'm terrible with sustaining any plantlife.
[ Connie_Girl ]: (bye Kidman)
[ Ivy ]: Bye Kidman
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Even outside?
[ Carmen ]: Be well, darling.
[ SwedishFish ]: (Bye, Ginger. ;-))
[ EarlJr ]: bye Kidman
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Aidios Kidman
[ Chase ]: Take care, Kidd.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I must go.
[ Scarlet ]: Goodbye.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'll send you a line later, cheers!
[ Chase ]: Last VILE standing...
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Mm, especially outside.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey yeah! It's an ACME party
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Do take care.
[ DericStorm ]: bye Kidman
[ DericStorm ]: uh, Danny, who's that over there in red?
[ Connie_Girl ]: aims at the 14 ball
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Eep!
[ DericStorm ]: points at Carmen
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: No wonder no one can find her!
[ SwedishFish ]: Miss Sandiego was ACME.
