Welcome! You have entered [Neutral Grounds] at 1:13 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.
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Carmen ]: Welcome, dear.
[ Chase ]: Kidman, have a seat.
[ Kidman ]: Hullo, love.
[ Ivy ]: Hey Kidman.
[ Kidman ]: Am I in trouble...?
[ Chase ]: No, just inviting you to sit down.
[ Kidman ]: Oh, well cheers, then.
[ Kidman ]: (am I clear to post my paradigm thing?)
[ Carmen ]: Mm, he does sound serious when he talks.
[ Carmen ]: (Yes, please, I approve)
[ Chase ]: (Right, read it, go ahead and post)
[ Chase ]: (Good work, by the way)
[ Kidman ]: ():up:
[ SwedishFish ]: (Do you have a color, Kidman?)
[ Kidman ]: (Cheers, mate.)
[ Chase ]: (Right, we should give you an official color)
[ Kidman ]: (This one, I think, unless it's too light, in which I'll make it an inch darker.)
[ Kidman ]: Maybe this?
[ Chase ]: (pick one, and send it to me anytime, gmail's okay)
[ Kidman ]: (Be right back)
[ Chase ]: (I'll post it up in colors.carmensandiego.info )
[ Ivy ]: That;s exciting
[ Ivy ]: oh hey... my original color
[ SwedishFish ]: Ivy, I see not you with your brother often.
[ SwedishFish ]: Why so?
[ Ivy ]: Zack?
[ SwedishFish ]: Yes.
[ Chase ]: You have another brother?
[ Ivy ]: He's been busy
[ Ivy ]: To be honest, we haven't hung out much since I returned from Hong KOng
[ SwedishFish ]: That is sad.
[ Ivy ]: Well, he was a great crime-fighting partner
[ Ivy ]: but we couldn't stay the brother/sister team forever.
[ SwedishFish ]: I trust he needs a close sister.
[ SwedishFish ]: Not in a team always, but close enough.
[ Ivy ]: you're probably right.
[ Chase ]: Not easy to have partners you can work with for a long time.
[ Ivy ]: I should give him a call more often.
[ Ivy ]: That sounds like it's coming from experience o director of operations...
[ Kidman ]: (Posted! My colour shall be 53696f, as happily it allowed for any colour I wished.)
[ SwedishFish ]: My sisters were most important in my life.
[ Ivy ]: How many sister do you have Gunnar?
[ Chase ]: Most people don't last 3 months in a team.
[ Ivy ]: (Looks good, Kidman!)
[ SwedishFish ]: Two.
[ Kidman ]: (Cheers, love!)
[ Chase ]: (you can use the same color in chat too)
[ Chase ]: (type it in instead of selecting)
[ Kidman ]: (Tried. It just reverts to the last one I used)
[ SwedishFish ]: (Wait... I didn't know that!)
[ SwedishFish ]: (Right. I'm slow.)
[ Chase ]: (Depends on your chat, but keep trying, eventually, it'll stick)
[ SwedishFish ]: (Heh)
[ Ivy ]: (I like how Kidman's avatar updates with the events of Chat)
[ Kidman ]: (Like my nifty pins?)
[ Carmen ]: (Mm, it's another facet of how dynamic this 'game' may be.)
[ Kidman ]: Test
[ Kidman ]: YES!
[ Chase ]: Nice
[ SwedishFish ]: (You really wrote "Gingerbread" as a nickname?)
[ SwedishFish ]: (Wow.)
[ Kidman ]: (I save all my nicknames)
[ Kidman ]: (:-))
[ SwedishFish ]: (Right. But we've never actually met.)
[ Kidman ]: (meh)
[ SwedishFish ]: (That's why it's surprising. ;-))
[ Kidman ]: (My profile is for everything on here, not just the RP)
[ Kidman ]: (Kidman does more in here anyway)
[ SwedishFish ]: (Don't we all? :D)
[ Ivy ]: Funny how everyone switched to duller shades
[ SwedishFish ]: It is Swedish blue.
[ SwedishFish ]: It was necessary.
[ Carmen ]: More pleasant, I assure you.
[ Chase ]: Looks a little like Lee's shade...
[ Ivy ]: Ah, that's why it was so familiar
[ SwedishFish ]: (Right. I might not end up keeping in this shade if that causes confusion.)
[ Ivy ]: For now it all looks okay
[ Chase ]: (Don't worry about it, happens all the time)
[ Chase ]: (His is 006699, from the color chart)
[ SwedishFish ]: (That's pretty close.)
[ Chase ]: (As long as it's not exact, I'm okay with it)
[ Kidman ]: (Second test)
[ Kidman ]: Yeah, that's easier to see.
[ Ivy ]: brighter
[ Chase ]: I like it
[ Ivy ]: You can use different colors for chat and for the Rps
[ Kidman ]: That's the official Kidman char colour.
[ Kidman ]: chat
[ Ivy ]: Since the black background makes things difficult
[ Kidman ]: Like the colour o' my second Carmen hat.
[Neutral Grounds]: Contessa has entered at 1:38 pm
[ Kidman ]: A new person!
[ Carmen ]: I do like that layered hat.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, Adrianna, welcome.
[ SwedishFish ]: (Here is the woman of the hour. :D)
[Neutral Grounds]: Contessa has left at 1:39 pm
[Neutral Grounds]: Contessa has entered at 1:39 pm
[ Kidman ]: They won't let me wear it like that during practice, though.
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Contessa ]: Well, well... a house built of ACME and V.I.L.E.
[ Carmen ]: I trust you're doing well?
[ Contessa ]: Oh I am! I am.
[ Contessa ]: Isn't someone going to introduce me to the detectives?
[ Carmen ]: First, this is Kidman.
[ SwedishFish ]: does not like introductions.
[ Contessa ]: *looks at Kidman* Contessa, pleased to meet you.
[ Carmen ]: That's Ivy, Gunnar, and you're familiar with the man in grey.
[ Chase ]: Familiar?
[ Kidman ]: Hullo, love. Good to have more VILEs in here. I tend to get run over in here.
[ Ivy ]: raises an eyebrow.
[ Ivy ]: You have history with Contessa?
[ Chase ]: What?
[ Contessa ]: Ivy, Gunnar, and Mr. Devineaux... interesting.
[ Carmen ]: Is it not interesting?
[ Contessa ]: I must say, I've heard so much about you... and all of your adorable exploits.
[ Kidman ]: finds Contessa reminds her of her sister in another life.
[ Kidman ]: (test a new colour)
[ Chase ]: *slowly narrows eyes*
[ SwedishFish ]: doesn't think Kidman has a life, much less multiple lives.
[ Contessa ]: You're right Carmen, he does do that thing with his face.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, he's rather stiff.
[ Kidman ]: (tests new colour on Candy's head)
[ Carmen ]: Quite different than the man on camera, wouldn't you say?
[ Contessa ]: Quite.
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Ivy ]: I don't know if I like how this is turning out...
[ Ivy ]: (hey, at least it's 3 ACME, 3 VILE)
[ Chase ]: *sucks it up* Contessa Covrenzi, it's a pleasure.
[ Carmen ]: Amiable.
[ Contessa ]: *pecks Chase on both cheeks*
[ SwedishFish ]: 8s
[ Contessa ]: Pleasure is mine, darling.
[ Kidman ]: You remind me of her;
[ Kidman ]: http://www.flickr.com/photos/handmaiden_phi/162321393/in/set-72157594147867095
[ Contessa ]: and... the other ACME agent? Gunnar is it?
[ Carmen ]: Gunnar Svensson.
[ SwedishFish ]: ...Ja.
[ Kidman ]: He is also known as Candy.
[ Contessa ]: What an odd name.
[ SwedishFish ]: I am not also known as Candy.
[ Kidman ]: He protects children with guns.
[ Contessa ]: Kidman, I'll take that as a complement.
[ SwedishFish ]: shrugs.
[ Carmen ]: *To Adrianna* You'll find the lot here rather pleasant.
[ Kidman ]: You should! Aeriol is the god of sex and war.
[ Chase ]: *To Ivy* If I ever need a drink...
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Ivy ]: *To Chase* Gotcha.
[ Contessa ]: and... Ivy Monaghan.
[ Contessa ]: Why, you're famous in V.I.L.E.
[ Kidman ]: ....
[ Kidman ]: :mean:
[ Chase ]: Or... infamous, according to some.
[ Ivy ]: For hurting people? Kidman has made that clear.
[ SwedishFish ]: cringes.
[ SwedishFish ]: Nej nej nej... No more about this...
[ Kidman ]: I did? Good. Wasn't sure by the way you all behaved.
[ Chase ]: Right, no more of this, we'll only end up defending Ivy.
[ Carmen ]: Which, of course, is anticipated.
[ Contessa ]: Defending? I'm not attacking.
[ Kidman ]: Don't need to say any more.
[ Chase ]: I didn't imply you were.
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has left at 1:57 pm
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has left at 1:57 pm
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has entered at 1:57 pm
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Contessa ]: I rather enjoy seeing a woman who isn't afraid to fight.
[ Chase ]: Welcome back.
[ SwedishFish ]: (Bad day for Ivy?)
[ Ivy ]: (computer problems, someone send me Chat log?)
[ Chase ]: I'm glad you do, we have more than just Ivy, at that.
[ SwedishFish ]: (I'll get it.)
[ Ivy ]: (my last post was when Gunnar cringed)
[ Contessa ]: *checks nails*
[ SwedishFish ]: (Sent. White text is still white.)
[ Ivy ]: (Thanks!)
[ Carmen ]: *To Adrianna* Did you get that re-done in red?
[ Contessa ]: *To Carmen* Just this morning. I'm joining V.I.L.E. darling, it's a special occasion.
[ Contessa ]: Red is your theme color isn't it?
[ SwedishFish ]: Heh. Special.
[ Chase ]: When do you officially start?
[ Contessa ]: When I flay my first detective.
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Contessa ]: *maniacal laughter*
[ Contessa ]: I kid.
[ Chase ]: *isn't sure if he should chuckle*
[ Kidman ]: 8s
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs*
[ Kidman ]: Yep...like my sister....
[Neutral Grounds]: SwedishFish has left at 2:02 pm
[ Ivy ]: *To Chase* Now I might need a drink...
[Neutral Grounds]: SwedishFish has entered at 2:03 pm
[ Contessa ]: Oh good, I thought I scared you away.
[ Chase ]: You're a personality.
[ SwedishFish ]: Scared me?!
[ SwedishFish ]: Ha.
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has entered at 2:03 pm
[ Contessa ]: Why thank you, Mr. Devineaux.
[ Chase ]: Right, Contessa Covrenzi, this is Deric Storm.
[ Contessa ]: I try.
[ SwedishFish ]: Hej, Deric.
[ Ivy ]: Hey Deric.
[ DericStorm ]: hello all
[ SwedishFish ]: (And this is the time I must leave.)
[ Chase ]: Chase, no need for formalities.
[ SwedishFish ]: (Thanks for the chat. Good to meet, Contessa.)
[ Chase ]: (Take care, Gunnar)
[ Ivy ]: Aw, take care Gunnar
[ Carmen ]: Be well, Mr. Svensson
[ Contessa ]: Farewell detective.
[ SwedishFish ]: Vi ses.
[Neutral Grounds]: SwedishFish has left at 2:05 pm
[ DericStorm ]: (bye gunnar)
[ Contessa ]: Pleased to make your acquaintance Deric Storm.
[ DericStorm ]: Likewise
[ Contessa ]: *To Chase* And if we are throwing formalities aside, you can call me Adrianna.
[ Chase ]: *nods* Duly noted, Adrianna.
[ Carmen ]: We're doing rather well, are we not?
[ Contessa ]: So civil.
[ Carmen ]: I have to admit, I was only slightly worried there won't be... meshing.
[ Chase ]: What? We're civil.
[ DericStorm ]: ook, who are you guys and have you done with the real people in here
[ Carmen ]: No, I wasn't talking about you, Chase.
[ Ivy ]: ...well we were thrown off slightly by the maniacal laughter...
[ Chase ]: And the bright red nails?
[ Contessa ]: Not to worry Carmen, I'll play nice.
[ Chase ]: Right.
[ Chase ]: So... uh... Javelin throwing...?
[ Ivy ]: No flaying of detectives. Good.
[ Contessa ]: Javelin throwing! You've noted.
[ Contessa ]: It's a particular talent of mine.
[ Contessa ]: I happen to have the arms for it.
[ Chase ]: How does that work... big game animals with a javelin?
[ Contessa ]: It's quite the challenge, but that's what makes it worth doing.
[ Carmen ]: I'm quite sure similar to small game with a crossbow?
[ Contessa ]: In ways.
[ Chase ]: I do falconry, not quite game.
[ Ivy ]: What kind of big game are we talking about?
[ Contessa ]: I'm so glad you have an interest in hunting. Big game... elephants, water buffalo... the usual.
[ Chase ]: Thick skin...
[ Contessa ]: I take offense.
[ Contessa ]: Oh, you mean the animals.
[ Chase ]: Sorry, I'm still trying to figure out the logistics of a javelin... into a water buffalo...
[ Ivy ]: *laughs*
[ Kidman ]: Do you know a General Zaroff?
[ Contessa ]: Well, the spear usually enters from the back.
[ Chase ]: You hunt for... trophies, or mostly just for fun?
[ Contessa ]: Mr. Zaroff, now that's a man with a plan.
[ Contessa ]: Everything in life is just for fun, my dear.
[ Kidman ]: Oh you DO know him!
[ Contessa ]: But I do like trophies.
[ Chase ]: Almost makes sense.
[ Ivy ]: *feels a slight chill in the air*
[ Kidman ]: He hunted me once. Good, scary fun.
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Chase ]: Was that before or after you joined VILE?
[ Carmen ]: Mm, likely before... I would have heard of this otherwise.
[ Kidman ]: I don't share everything....
[ Kidman ]: Until I do!
[ Chase ]: Clearly, nice of you to switch jobs.
[ Contessa ]: Now if only I had such an island.
[ Carmen ]: If this was during VILE, I'm sure I'll have to consider it a conflict of interest.
[ Kidman ]: Rather he had asked first....
[ Carmen ]: I'm simply not keen on my agents being used as game.
[ Kidman ]: It wasn't a job!
[ Contessa ]: I'll take note of that... I do know how different your rules are.
[ Chase ]: *holds back a chuckle*
[ Contessa ]: I find them... quaint.
[ Kidman ]: But it was fun, yes.
[ Kidman ]: None of this pretense.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, water under the bridge. But don't do it again.
[ Kidman ]: ?
[ Chase ]: Or... you could just go play with Zaroff... and not tell Carmen.
[ Kidman ]: I didn't choose...oh never mind.
[ Kidman ]: shakes head.
[ Kidman ]: I'm not allowed to enjoy something scary?
[ Kidman ]: The man was going to kill me! Might as well enjoy it.
[ Chase ]: Hey, hey, don't push it.
[ Contessa ]: *To Kidman* Stick with me, I'm sure we'll have plenty of fun
[ Kidman ]: I don't think Master wants me hunted as much.
[ Ivy ]: is slightly worried for Kidman
[ Chase ]: We should probably talk about something else.
[ Chase ]: Before things get too uncomfortable.
[ Kidman ]: awww....
[ Chase ]: You don't sound Italian, Adrianna, where's the 'Contessa' from?
[ Contessa ]: My first husband.
[ Contessa ]: You know, you remind me of him.
[ Contessa ]: He died in a terrible sailing accident.
[ Kidman ]: :(
[ Contessa ]: Do you sail, Mr. Devineaux?
[ Chase ]: thinks the room is getting warmer.
[ Chase ]: Uh, no. Not much of a sailor.
