Welcome! You have entered [Neutral Grounds] at 1:09 am
[ Kidman ]: Try to always stay in character. (Use parentheses for out-of-character chats.)
[ Kidman ]: Yeay! Things are normal again!
[ Chase ]: Hey, welcome.
[ Chase ]: The only thing not normal is Synic.
[ Chase ]: She's gone silent.
[ Kidman ]: Poor thing must be traumatized.
[ Chase ]: Yeah, I've been trying to 'revive' her all day.
[ Chase ]: Contessa even tried to help earlier... but she was mostly a distraction.
[ Kidman ]: Contessa was on?
[ Kidman ]: Dang...
[ Kidman ]: Apparently she has a thing for you.
[ Kidman ]: What that thing is, I'm not sure.
[ Chase ]: I don't think this "thing" she has is anything past distracting me while Carmen gets away.
[ Chase ]: Good luck to her, because this isn't a game anymore, it's serious.
[ Kidman ]: Even now that Master has given you a reason?
[ Chase ]: The reason dampens the blow, but she did take our tower.
[ Kidman ]: That she did....
[ Kidman ]: I suppose Antarctica is first.
[ Chase ]: I'm not only wanting retribution, I'm being pressured into taking it.
[ Kidman ]: No, I know that.
[ Chase ]: From all corners, I'm being question on my judgment.
[ Kidman ]: sighs
[ Kidman ]: Sometimes I wonder if Master truly understands that.
[ Chase ]: I don't think it matters now whether or not she understands.
[ Kidman ]: So now what happens?
[ Chase ]: Now, we turn up the heat.
[ Kidman ]: I tried, Chase...
[ Kidman ]: Even now, I'm still the raving lunatic on the street corner.
[ Chase ]: Don't blame yourself, you had nothing to do with it.
[ Chase ]: I don't think she'd stop even if I was standing in that tower.
[ Kidman ]: Maybe she would have told you what she should have long agao.
[ Kidman ]: ago.
[ Chase ]: Facts don't change.
[ Kidman ]: She was saving your life. But she never let you save hers...
[ Kidman ]: It's so stupid.
[ Chase ]: This has nothing to do with what happened.
[ Kidman ]: I know.
[ Kidman ]: But none of this had to happen.
[ Chase ]: No, but it did.
[ Kidman ]: It did.
[ Chase ]: I can't be viewed as somebody sypathetic with her.
[ Kidman ]: I know.
[ Kidman ]: Your world will survive, Chase...
[ Kidman ]: Mine... I am fated now to watch it burn to the ground.
[ Chase ]: You can keep your Carmen, it's not our priority to get her behind bars... not this turn.
[ Kidman ]: VILE itself then? I suppose that could work...
[ Chase ]: We only need some retribution, not everything.
[ Kidman ]: I could hug you....
[ Chase ]: Besides, I'm not about to let harm come to an unarmed woman.
[ Kidman ]: becomes somewhat blurry-eyed.
[ Kidman ]: May I hug you? I won't tell a sole.
[ Kidman ]: soul.
[ Chase ]: Uh... sure.
[ Kidman ]: embraces Chase an sobs with relief.
[ Kidman ]: and
[ Chase ]: slowly pats Kidman on the back.
[ Chase ]: Hey, don't cry. It'll be fine.
[ Kidman ]: I'm sorry... I just...I have to carry this thing myself.
[ Chase ]: Heavy cross?
[ Chase ]: I thought Carmen carried her own worries.
[ Kidman ]: Yes...so heavy....
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has entered at 1:39 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: sup peep?
[ Kidman ]: quickly jumps back.
[ Kidman ]: Oh!
[ Kidman ]: The chat works again, more or less.
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has entered at 1:40 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: sup doc?
[ Kidman ]: hands DA a carrot.
[ Chase ]: Ainsworth, Sophie, come in.
[ Chase ]: (Yeah, apparently, server time stamps will forever by wonky... but chat does work now.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *takes a bite out of carrot*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: carrots are divine, you get a dozen for a dime... it's maaaaggic.
[ Scarlet ]: (What happened to the paragraph-long descriptive?)
[ Chase ]: Heh.
[ Scarlet ]: Good evening, everyone.
[ Chase ]: (We had to reset chat, the descriptive has been temporarily scrapped.)
[ Scarlet ]: (Ah, I was somehow waiting for it to appear.)
[ Kidman ]: (I like it this way better)
[ Kidman ]: (Did you know you could sign in under any name yesterday?)
[ Kidman ]: (I was carmen for a few minutes, but it creeped me out too much.)
[ Chase ]: (Yeah, Chat was broken yesterday)
[ Chase ]: (It also messed up our IPs, some people may have problems logging in because Chat thought they were signed in multiple times.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Technology, whaddya gonna do?
[ Chase ]: True
[Neutral Grounds]: Nevon has entered at 1:49 am
[ Kidman ]: Nevon!!
[ Nevon ]: Hey!!
[ Scarlet ]: Hello there, Nevon...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: NEV!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Buddy!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Now it's a party!
[ Chase ]: Nevon, come in.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *cracks glow sticks and passes them out*
[ Nevon ]: *Saluts*
[ Nevon ]: Yes sir.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *gives Kidman a glowstick necklace*
[ Nevon ]: Glow stick, woop!
[ Kidman ]: Eeeeeee! I love theses things!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *hands Sophie a glowstick stethoscope*
[ Scarlet ]: laughs... (Does that even exist?)
[ Kidman ]: :huh: sort of looks like flashing glowstcks.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: allllrrrigghhht.
[ Scarlet ]: wears the glow-stick device over her neck...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Now we get party names
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Sophie will from now on be referred to as Doc Love.
[ Nevon ]: *Whispers to Dan* What kind of glowstick should we give Boss?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: hmmm...
[ Scarlet ]: "Doc Love"?
[ Chase ]: Hold on -- don't need one.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: he needs something... totally awesome...
[ Nevon ]: light saber?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: but it can't be predictible.
[ Kidman ]: Hmmm....
[ Scarlet ]: How about one of those canes he is often teased about?
[ Kidman ]: A glow tie?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: A GLOW STICK PIMP CANE!
[ Scarlet ]: (Dying, Daniel.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *gives chase the most bedazzled glowstick pimp cane you can find*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: it even changes colors...
[ Chase ]: ...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: and to you Nev here is a glowing sombrero.
[ Nevon ]: *puts on the hat*
[ Kidman ]: laughs, then gives Chase a 'please forgive me' look.
[ Nevon ]: Aiyeiyeiyei!!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Now when Chase sits on his chair, he'll have the pimp cane
[ Chase ]: takes the cane and spins it.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: the picture is complete.
[ Chase ]: Nice, but too weak.
[ Chase ]: I need something solid.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Maybe Doc Love can fix it.
[ Chase ]: So I can hack you two when you're not doing it right.
[ Scarlet ]: cringes.
[ Nevon ]: (Need to reset)
[Neutral Grounds]: Nevon has left at 2:01 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Chase, why don't you teach?
[Neutral Grounds]: Nevon has entered at 2:02 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: There are thousands of detectives that would take classes from you, Boss.
[ Kidman ]: Even I would.
[ Chase ]: I taught once.
[ Chase ]: About five years ago, I spent a year training kids at the Academy.
[ Nevon ]: *Wonders why he didn't transfer to ACME five years ago*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: what did ya teach?
[ Chase ]: I prepared graduates for their detective exams.
[ Chase ]: Grill them on everything before they go out into the field.
[ Nevon ]: Wooow
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: wow
[ Chase ]: Don't idolize me, it was a job.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: It must have been awesome.
[ Nevon ]: *Idolizes Chase*
[ Kidman ]: thinks Nevon is adorable.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Did you train Zack and Ivy?
[ Chase ]: I didn't. I was on a break by the time those two were old enough to train, and they were already gone from ACME by the time I got back.
[ Nevon ]: Ivy is cool too.
[ Nevon ]: Did you recruit her back to San Francisco from Hong Kong?
[ Chase ]: I did. I think she's wasted enough time communing in HK, she needed to gather what she learned and come back to help Control.
[ Nevon ]: I want to be that good someday.
[ Chase ]: Good like Ivy? You'll get there.
[ Nevon ]: Nope, good enough to recruit people.
[ Scarlet ]: :)
[ Nevon ]: How can you just stroll into Hong Kong and say to Ivy, "Come back to San Fran" and she comes right back?
[ Nevon ]: And how do you give a name card to Doc Sophie and then she comes to San Fran too?
[ Nevon ]: How do you just look at a person and tell what they can do?
[ Chase ]: Make a lot of mistakes, and learn from them.
[ Chase ]: Then make sure nobody questions you about your decisions.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I like the last part.
[ Chase ]: Also, for Ivy, I had to offer her a plane ticket and additional living expenses for her first 3 months.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: So it was like a negotiation
[ Nevon ]: Negotiation, cool
[ Chase ]: Not so much a negotiation, it was more an offer.
[ Chase ]: I give her what I figured she needs as incentive.
[ Chase ]: If she'd negotiated, I'd just leave.
[ Chase ]: And let her think about what I offered.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ... *is learning*
[ Nevon ]: *takes notes*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *thinks he should try that on Patty*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *thinks it might fail miserably*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: So why did Ivy need to come back?
[ Chase ]: She missed San Francisco.
[ Chase ]: I could tell, as soon as I landed in HK, all the questions that came from her was about headquarters.
[ Nevon ]: But you hadn't met before?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Right, you never met before then... how did you just know?
[ Chase ]: Not in person, until she arrested one of my Coverts in HK.
[ Kidman ]: chuckles
[ Chase ]: Ivy's not scretive.
[ Chase ]: I think she likes to wear her feelings on her sleeves.
[ Chase ]: She wanted to know what I did in San Francisco, and if all the people she knew here were all right.
[ Chase ]: Some detectives don't go into that kind of small talk.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: you like... read people.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: no wonder you're in charge of recruitment
[ Nevon ]: I want to do that!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: and operations.
[ Nevon ]: I want to read people!
[ Chase ]: Then go out and meet more people.
[ Nevon ]: Can't you read people without knowing people?
[ Chase ]: You're kidding, right?
[ Nevon ]: 8s
[ Chase ]: If you want to do something right, invest in it.
[ Chase ]: Start by studying yourself, your own habits, which pocket you put your wallet in, etc.
[ Nevon ]: How will that help?
[ Chase ]: A right-handed man usually puts his wallet in his right-back pocket.
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has entered at 2:28 am
[ Chase ]: Ivy, come in.
[ Kidman ]: Well I'll be.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Ivy!
[ Nevon ]: We were just talking about you, Ivy, and how you came to SF from HK.
[ Kidman ]: I heard throwing shoes can help determine that.
[ Ivy ]: Really? I'm going to guess that Chase was leading that story.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: We also have glowsticks...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: CHase has a pimp cane.
[ Chase ]: Don't worry, I didn't tell them about the song or how sentimental you got.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (refreshing)
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has left at 2:29 am
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has entered at 2:29 am
[ Ivy ]: Sentimental?
[ Chase ]: spins cane of glow-sticks.
[ Chase ]: Pimp cane.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ...that was awesome.
[ Ivy ]: *laughs* it's a little unnerving when you say 'pimp cane'
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: He takes his job seriously
[ Chase ]: I could probably do better with bamboo... this cane's a little uneven.
[ Nevon ]: *wants to gush about how cool that was*
[ Nevon ]: Ivy got sentimental?
[ Ivy ]: I wouldn't say sentimental.
[ Chase ]: Nostalgic.
[ Chase ]: That's probably a better word.
[ Ivy ]: The bay is home, when you're away for so long... you miss it.
[ Nevon ]: What song was it?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: People here have flowers in their hair.
[ Nevon ]: Was that the song?
[ Chase ]: Nothing by Scott McKenzie.
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has left at 2:34 am
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has entered at 2:34 am
[ Chase ]: Something more... Tony Bennett.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: That was just me being an idiot.
[ Ivy ]: (lol)
[ Nevon ]: Who's Tony Bennett?
[ Scarlet ]: The morning fog may chill the air... I don't care.
[ Chase ]: I don't have to explain Tony Bennett.
[ Chase ]: Look up 1950s, he's an icon.
[ Nevon ]: *makes a note to listen to more old music*
[ Kidman ]: Never have I felt so old.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Here Ivy *gives Ivy a glowstick flower for her hair*
[ Ivy ]: Uh... thanks. *puts it on*
[ Nevon ]: Do you listen to anything past the 50s, Boss?
[ Chase ]: Yeah, but it's nonsense.
[ Chase ]: I don't keep track.
[ Chase ]: Mikal had me hearing only Nirvana for a while, I didn't think it was bad.
[ Nevon ]: *notes how Chase says 'hearing' instead of 'listening'*
[ Ivy ]: Mikal had you listening to Nirvana.
[ Ivy ]: And I thought changing you was impossible.
[ Chase ]: I'm not as volatile, but I'm capable of change.
[ Nevon ]: *notes that too*
[ Nevon ]: Is Carmen pretty?
[ Chase ]: ...what?
[ Nevon ]: I've never seen her up close, not even pictures.
[ Chase ]: Who are you asking?
[ Nevon ]: I guess you, Boss?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: oh good question
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: points to Nev.
[ Chase ]: What constitutes "pretty"?
[ Kidman ]: ...?
[ Nevon ]: What's attractive?
[ Chase ]: Right, by any normal sense of the word, I'd consider her attractive.
[ Chase ]: Probably speaks for itself, don't you think?
[ Chase ]: The amount of people who want to "find" her constitutes for how much she's attractive to them.
[ Chase ]: And most haven't even seen her face.
[ Kidman ]: http://www.visualphotos.com/photo/2x2711408/yellow_lab_mother_and_puppies_42-16421547.jpg
[ Chase ]: So unlike Helen of Troy... who launched a thousand ships... Carmen's done that with her reputation alone.
[ Kidman ]: I found a picture of Chase, DA and Nevon
[ Ivy ]: *laughs*
[ Nevon ]: (haha)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: lol
[ Nevon ]: *takes notes*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: at least we're cute.
[ Kidman ]: Totally cute
[ Nevon ]: But Boss, you mean that she's not physically attractive?
[ Chase ]: There's a lot of factors that goes into that, I'm probably not your best resource.
[ Kidman ]: Don't you have any pictures of her?
[ Chase ]: No.
[ Chase ]: We're operatives, we don't take pictures.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Not even from your partnering days?
[ Nevon ]: Why not?
[ Kidman ]: You have no pictures of her in your files?
[ Chase ]: It's not professional. Most our missions are night missions.
[ Kidman ]: How do you instruct your agents to find someone they can't even recognize?
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has left at 3:00 am
[ Kidman ]: Master could be sitting in here and they wouldn't know.
[ Chase ]: Carmen's files don't have clear pictures. Only a few from her agent days, she hasn't been caught on camera since.
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has entered at 3:01 am
[ Kidman ]: I guess this is good for us...?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: wow
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has left at 3:01 am
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has entered at 3:01 am
[ Kidman ]: Just so you know, I'm Carmen.
[ Chase ]: They have her physical description, some have seen her.
[ Chase ]: Just not much of her for cameras to snap.
[ Chase ]: Her voice is recorded.
[ Kidman ]: You guys have never been in here with Master?
[ Chase ]: We have enough to identify her for the most parts.
[ Nevon ]: I've been in here with Carmen, but I've never met her in RP
[ Nevon ]: I count RP as more important than Chat.
[ Scarlet ]: Have you not seen her even from afar, Nevon?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: yeah, neutral grounds doesn't count
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: But Chase saw carmen in his office in RP
[ Nevon ]: I've never been on a Carmen case.
[ Scarlet ]: Ah.
[ Kidman ]: If you ask my opinion, which no one has, I'd say Master is attractive physically, but more so by her nature.
[ Kidman ]: You never forget that presence.
[ Chase ]: realizes that Kidman's right.
[ Kidman ]: And I have met Master in RP
[ Chase ]: Right, something like that.
[ Kidman ]: I don't call her that for nothing.
[ Chase ]: The way she carries herself... maybe when she looks at you, you're wondering what she's dissecting... how much of it she isn't saying.
[ Chase ]: That kind of regular nonsense.
[ Nevon ]: Regular nonsense?
[ Chase ]: What are you an echo?
[ Nevon ]: *Wonders how is simple 'is she pretty' question turned into this.*
[ Kidman ]: You'll understand if you meet her someday.
[ Nevon ]: I don't think I'll ever meet her.
[ Kidman ]: Don't say that.
[ Nevon ]: Because I don't recognize her unless she's in the red coat and hat.
[ Kidman ]: I never thought I would either
[ Nevon ]: I could have passed by her before and never knew it.
[ Kidman ]: I don't know if you can pass Master by and not notice her on some level.
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has entered at 3:11 am
[ Nevon ]: You're a VILE employee, why would you neverthink you'd meet Carmen?
[ Chase ]: Euge, come in.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: hey Mr. G!
[ Nevon ]: Hi Mr. G!
[ Kidman ]: ... I'm not really of much importance there.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *hands Mr. G some glowstick aviators*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: wear them!
[ Kidman ]: But I like it that way.
[ Nevon ]: Dan gave Boss a glow stick pimp cane
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: which he was able to spin in a really cool way
[ Nevon ]: Kidman; how could you like not bein important?
[ EarlJr ]: looks at the glowsticks suspiciously
[ Kidman ]: My glowsticks don't have a theme. ;-)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: and Kidman has a necklace.
[ Kidman ]: Oh! I guess they do!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (Kidman was first so I wasn't as creative.)
[ Kidman ]: Reasons, Nevon...reasons.
[ Scarlet ]: (Third time's charm - good enough.)
[ Chase ]: *Spins a cane made of joined glowsticks*
[ Chase ]: Pimp cane.
[ EarlJr ]: ...
[ Kidman ]: :biggrin:
[ EarlJr ]: right
[ Ivy ]: Always a party when dan's here.
[ Ivy ]: *taps the glowstick flower in her hair*
[ Nevon ]: Pimp cane!
[ Kidman ]: If DA and Patty were in here together, would the room explode?
[ Scarlet ]: It didn't - the last time they were here together.
[ Chase ]: I really think you need to ductape this thing together or it'll start falling apart.
[ EarlJr ]: so that's why chat is having so many problems
[ Kidman ]: The chat needs more ducktape.
[ Nevon ]: Mr. G, Have you met Carmen up close?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: We try to keep a good flow of things goin'
[ Chase ]: Professionally, he's not allowed to answer that question.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Yeah Mr. G, have you ever seen Carmen (outside Neutral Grounds)?
[ Kidman ]: I'll read that as a 'yes'.
[ Nevon ]: We want to know if she's pretty.
[ Nevon ]: Boss is being confusing about it.
[ EarlJr ]: what Chase said
[ Nevon ]: Why not?
[ Chase ]: When you pass your detective exams, I'll tell you all about it.
[ Nevon ]: 8s
[ Kidman ]: Father is such a good father.
[ Ivy ]: Get studying
[ Scarlet ]: laughs softly to herself.
[ EarlJr ]: proximity to criminals is one of those things you never talk about in law enforcement
[ Kidman ]: Or fight club.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: aw yeah.
[ Nevon ]: We should have an ACME fight club!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Neutral grounds should also have a fight club.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Ha! Great minds, Nev.
[ Chase ]: There's an idea.
[ EarlJr ]: (closest he's been to Carmen was at Blue Moon, not that he knew it at the time)
[ Ivy ]: I wouldn't midn a sparring room.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ...yeah, just don't pit me up against Ivy.
[ EarlJr ]: it can be your pet project then Ivy
[ Kidman ]: I thought ACME was a fight club.
[ Chase ]: Dan, Ivy's your safest bet for sparring.
[ Chase ]: She's trained in how to not kill you.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: But she could seriously injure.
[ EarlJr ]: case in point, Deric
[ Nevon ]: Does Boss spar?
[ EarlJr ]: she could, but she won't
[ Chase ]: Not with you lot.
[ Ivy ]: That's right, sparring isn't about playing dirty.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: WOuld you spar with Carmen, Boss?
[ EarlJr ]: you'll learn how to play dirty in a different class
[ Kidman ]: isn't sure whether she would or would not like to see that.
[ Chase ]: I've sparred with Carmen before. I don't think we're in a 'sparring' point in our relationship anymore.
[ Nevon ]: What was it like?
[ Chase ]: Didn't you ask this question before?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: do we learn how to fight dirty in Mr. G's class?
[ Nevon ]: Nope, wasn't me!
[ Kidman ]: You mean you actually teach them that?
[ Kidman ]: I don't even have to argue anymore.
[ EarlJr ]: in a way, yes
[ Chase ]: It's not 'fighting dirty' it's close-quarter-combat.
[ EarlJr ]: the only unfair fight is the one you lose
[ Chase ]: When between you and an insurgent, you have to do whatever it takes to survive.
[ Chase ]: This can include getting cut in the arm, as long as it prevents you from getting stabbed in the gut.
[ Nevon ]: *shudders*
[ Kidman ]: Yeah, I forgot you fight other people.
[ Nevon ]: Wait, you skipped my question.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I guess I wouldn't want to be stabbed in the gut
[ Nevon ]: What was Carmen like in sparring?
[ Chase ]: That again?
[ Nevon ]: Yes, I want to know.
[ Nevon ]: If that's okay
[ Nevon ]: ...sir
[ Chase ]: Acrobatic, and a perfectionist.
[ Chase ]: She had to hit her targets everytime, or she'd start over.
[ Kidman ]: We like hearing about the gods of olde.
[ Nevon ]: It's like hearing stories from the war.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: totally
[ Chase ]: Don't kid about war.
[ Nevon ]: Sir, yes sir!
[ Nevon ]: What's a good move to remember in closed quarter combat?
[ Chase ]: Go for the eyes.
[ Ivy ]: Unless they're civilians.
[ Ivy ]: Then go for the knees.
[ Kidman ]: I was going to say that!
[ Kidman ]: Huh...so I actually know stuff....
[ EarlJr ]: loose clothing, even long hair, can be grabbed
[ Chase ]: long hair, especially.
[ EarlJr ]: and if you do have a hold on their head somehow, where the head goes, the body must follow
[ Nevon ]: *makes notes*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *also takes notes*
[ Kidman ]: *shaves head*
[ Chase ]: If you really need to interrogate someone, grabbing their throat is an option... particularly if their legs aren't fuctional anymore.
[ EarlJr ]: biting is also perfectly valid
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has left at 3:38 am
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has entered at 3:38 am
[ Chase ]: If you're smaller than your opponent... biting, popping their ears, pressing their eyes... all valid.
[ EarlJr ]: watch your step there Ives
[ Kidman ]: *also takes notes*
[ Chase ]: Also, it's okay to aim for the torso.
[ Ivy ]: Now you have kidman taking notes?
[ Chase ]: It's the biggest mass, it's easier to hit.
[ Ivy ]: (I hate my internet)
[ EarlJr ]: especially the soft areas on the side, below the ribcage
[ Kidman ]: I have my reasons.
[ EarlJr ]: a lot of people neglect to cover that area, so if you can't get in a headshot, it's a good attention getter
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Don't think you can do any of these moves in your upcoming sparring sesh, nev.
[ EarlJr ]: (I'm now having flashbacks to baton training)
[ Nevon ]: What can I do against a girl?
[ Kidman ]: ?
[ EarlJr ]: if it's for your life? anything and everything
[ Ivy ]: No one's getting hurt in class.
[ Ivy ]: Just try to not loose balance and pin her down.
[ EarlJr ]: this isn't stuff you're going to be using in Ivy's classes
[ Nevon ]: I have to spar with Abby
[ EarlJr ]: *to Ivy* Maybe you should keep a close eye on Nevon, just to make sure he doesn't hurt himself too badly in Deric's class.
[ Chase ]: Take Ivy's advice, focus on her moves, don't attack her first.
[ Chase ]: You'll need to judge her experience first.
[ Ivy ]: *To Euge* It's a training room with padded walls... what could go wrong?
[ Chase ]: Then you gauge your response.
[ EarlJr ]: plus, it gives you an opportunity to look for openings
[ Chase ]: For Ivy, she keeps her left open a lot.
[ Ivy ]: what?!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: interesting revelation!
[ EarlJr ]: please don't ask that question.
[ Kidman ]: lol
[ Chase ]: If I were sparring with her, I'd wait until she lets her guard down.
[ Chase ]: Then move in on her left.
[ Kidman ]: I can see the ACME unity at work here.
[ Nevon ]: I wait for Rose to move first?
[ Nevon ]: But how do I know what her style is?
[ Kidman ]: What if they both wait to go first?
[ Ivy ]: :mean:
[ Chase ]: I wouldn't expect you to pick it up, Nevon, you're not an experienced combatant.
[ Chase ]: Just throw some moves in, fake ones if you have to, guage her reaction.
[ Chase ]: She may be slower on some moves, faster on others.
[ Chase ]: Your job isn't to win.
[ Chase ]: It's sparring in a class environment.
[ Ivy ]: and wear a helmet if you can.
[ Nevon ]: I don't think I'd be that cool.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *gives Nevon a glowstick helmet* here buddy.
[ Nevon ]: Thanks Dan
[ Nevon ]: *puts on glowstick helmet*
[ Nevon ]: You're the best
[ EarlJr ]: plus, that will light up to show where you got hit
[ Ivy ]: *laughs*
[ Chase ]: heh
[ Scarlet ]: Carbon dioxide...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: what now?
[ EarlJr ]: what about it?
[ Scarlet ]: Hydrogen peroxide decomposes peroxyacid ester and give you your glow sticks...
[ Scarlet ]: The end product is carbon dioxide.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: That sounded like Chase.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Wow, you must be hanging out a lot.
[ Kidman ]: wonders if the doctor is a robot.
[ EarlJr ]: I'm glad we cleared that up
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: So.. will we ever have a fight club here?
[ EarlJr ]: and I doubt a little ol' glowstick is going to produce enough CO2 to be of note.
[ Ivy ]: outlook grin, Danny. I think this place is supposed to promote unity
[ Chase ]: CO2 is a byproduct of the Phenol.
[ Scarlet ]: thinks of something...
[ Chase ]: So no, not significant enough to... say... choke Nevon.
[ Scarlet ]: (Goodbye, everyone. Entertaining, as usual.)
[ EarlJr ]: only thing that is going to be choking him is his partner or if he tries to swallow the glowstick
[ EarlJr ]: (bye Scarlet)
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has left at 3:58 am
[ Kidman ]: I should go too.
[ Nevon ]: Bye Kidman!
[ Kidman ]: Cheers all!
[ EarlJr ]: yes, begone with thee
[ Ivy ]: later Kidman!
[ Chase ]: Take care, Kidman.
