Welcome! You have entered [Neutral Grounds] at 1:40 am
[ Kidman ]: Try to always stay in character. (Use parentheses for out-of-character chats.)
[ Strange-Fate ]: Of course.
[ Chase ]: Kidman, come in.
[ SwedishFish ]: Fy katten...
[ SwedishFish ]: My sister cooked, a time.
[ SwedishFish ]: It was a cake for my birthday.
[ Kidman ]: (Hey guys. Superpowers wore off last night, so I'm sick again.:-( If I stop talking randomnly, it's because I fell asleep at the keyboard.;-))
[ Strange-Fate ]: *mutters and when I do take down Carmen and my cousin Chase will be all mine*
[ Scarlet ]: Everyone is so optimistic tonight. It must be the tea.
[ SwedishFish ]: All were proud of her.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Wait, so Squire wants Chase too?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: DUDE, I didn't know...
[ Chase ]: Optimism is contagious.
[ Kidman ]: Fy katten yourself, candy.
[ Strange-Fate ]: No!
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Chase ]: Who wants me... what?
[ Kidman ]: Fate loves you, chase.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Well he IS the lovable type...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: flashes Chase a smile
[ Strange-Fate ]: .....
[ Scarlet ]: Pardon me?
[ Kidman ]: Back off. He's mine.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Kidman
[ Kidman ]: Hey Da
[ Kidman ]: DA
[ Strange-Fate ]: NEVER!!!
[ Kidman ]: Sword fight!
[ Chase ]: This... has to be the tea...?
[ Strange-Fate ]: You love Carmen Kidman.
[ Kidman ]: :ninja:
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *gets out light sabers*
[ Strange-Fate ]: :ninja:
[ Kidman ]: This is also true.
[ Scarlet ]: sits on a bar stool and watches...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *gets out camera*
[ Strange-Fate ]: Chase is MINE!!!
[ Kidman ]: For I am...THE MEDIUM!!!!!
[ Kidman ]: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
[ SwedishFish ]: steps back in front of Chase.
[Neutral Grounds]: Mikal has entered at 1:46 am
[ Kidman ]: Yes, stand with me, Candy.
[ Mikal ]: Shalom.
[ Chase ]: Hold it, hold it, hold it!
[ Chase ]: Ladies, Neutral Grounds...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Yeah! hold it!
[ Kidman ]: Awwww....
[ SwedishFish ]: "Ladies"?!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: This is neutral grounds!
[ Chase ]: Hey, Mikal, quick, grab Kidman.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: We need to fight... OUTSIDE!
[ Strange-Fate ]: ....
[ Kidman ]: Yeah, I don't really count as one.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: pulls out the camera phone
[ Mikal->Kidman ]: can I grab you?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: This is SO going on youtube...
[ Kidman->Mikal ]: Sure!
[ Chase ]: Dan... seriously.
[ Mikal ]: *grabs Kidman*
[ Kidman ]: poses as she gets grabbed
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Kidman I love you forever and ever)
[ Kidman ]: (Can't do stuff irl, make a mess in cyberland)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (can;t stop... laughing...)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Kidman is seriously about 10 times more badass than Sarah right now)
[ Chase ]: (Yeah, laughing, I keep missing the keyboard.)
[ Mikal ]: Captain, why am I grabbing small VILE girl?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Sarah stares for an hour, doesn't make a move / Kidman comes in and 3 minutes later the gloves are off)
[ SwedishFish ]: Because she needs a punishment.
[ Chase ]: No, no punishment, we're buffering a potential fight.
[ Kidman ]: That's pretty sexy, Candy.
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Best. Night. EVER. Well, ok, here at least.
[ Mikal ]: ...fight? with little VILE girl?
[ SwedishFish ]: (Wow, Kidman. That was totally supposed to be a burn by Gunnar.)
[ Kidman ]: What are you strong men going to do to me?
[ Strange-Fate ]: ....
[ Mikal ]: But she is so harmless.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I swear, she's acting like me
[ SwedishFish ]: (And then you...changed everything, heh.)
[ Mikal ]: Who would fight with her?
[ Kidman ]: (That's how I roll)
[ Strange-Fate ]: I would!
[ SwedishFish ]: pretends to not hear.
[ Chase ]: Right, let her go.
[ Kidman ]: continues comedic flailing
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *points to Strange Fate*
[ Mikal ]: *lets go of Kidman*
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Alright, alright, lets all calm down
[ Kidman ]: looks dissappointed.
[ Chase ]: Thanks, Sarah.
[ Scarlet ]: Would anyone like some orange juice?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Hey, I didn't expect to be a voice of reason but whatever
[ Kidman ]: Wait, what are we doing again?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Sitting down and talking like adults
[ Mikal ]: This place keeps getting crazier.
[ Chase ]: Yes, Sophie, thank you.
...Honestly, I didn't see that coming from you, Sarah.

[ Kidman ]: Booooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrring
[ SwedishFish ]: Orange juice?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: No drink the tea... the tea!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Honestly fights between small women just isn't fun
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I don't know what's in it, but it makes the chat room alive.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: at least not in a place like this...
[ Strange-Fate ]: I didn't drink the tea.
[ Scarlet ]: pours out some orange juice...
[ Kidman ]: It was fun for me...
[ Kidman ]: (actually goes and gets more orange juice irl)
[ Chase ]: I think those 'Hostile Grounds' Chat rooms might come in handy about now.
[ Strange-Fate->Kidman ]: Kid it would be funny if I Shoryuken you can I do that? Chase says I need your permission.
[ Scarlet ]: keeps away the glasses.
[ Kidman->Strange-Fate ]: don't those hurt?
[Neutral Grounds]: Philo has entered at 1:58 am
[ Strange-Fate->Kidman ]: Well yes but it would a good follow up gag to your silliness
[ Kidman ]: Hey mate
[Neutral Grounds]: Philo has left at 1:58 am
[ Mikal ]: Shalom Philo.
[Neutral Grounds]: Philo has entered at 1:58 am
[ Mikal ]: Shalom Philo.
[ SwedishFish ]: walks over to fetch some orange juice.
[ Strange-Fate->Kidman ]: Please?
[ Philo ]: Hey
[ Chase ]: Philo, come in.
[ SwedishFish ]: Hej hej.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Philo!
[ Kidman->Strange-Fate ]: Sorry love. You got anything lighter?
[ Philo ]: Hey...
[ Strange-Fate->Kidman ]: Aww. But the street fighter refernce would be funny.
[ Kidman->Chase ]: She wants to what, now?
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has left at 2:00 am
[Neutral Grounds]: Mikal has left at 2:00 am
[ SwedishFish ]: (Whoops)
[ Kidman ]: The heck?
[ Philo ]: Re-readin' deh paradigm thread. Gotta admit, I like how 'tessa handles her help
[ Strange-Fate->Kidman ]: oh well
[ Kidman->Strange-Fate ]: That would open a can of worms that you really don't want opened.
[ Kidman->Strange-Fate ]: trust me.
[ Kidman ]: I want to get hunted by Contessa, but Master won't let us.
[ Strange-Fate->Kidman ]: Ah. I see I'll take your word for it.
[ Kidman->Strange-Fate ]: :-)
[ Chase ]: Why would you want to be hunted?
[ Philo ]: So you're important enough not teh get shot at...
[ Strange-Fate->Kidman ]: ...
[ Chase->Kidman ]: I have no idea. I only told her if she wanted to do an action towards another character, she has to ask first.
[ Strange-Fate ]: ....
[ Kidman ]: Pure cathartic release.
[ SwedishFish ]: Gingerbread... She has *mouths* mental problems.
[ Philo ]: Kidman is more 'er less from deh new clas of henchmen. Carmen's gettin' a pretty standard cult goin'
[ Kidman ]: New my ass.
[ Kidman->Chase ]: shuriken?
[ Chase ]: Right, I'm not going to start judging how she picks her employees.
[ Strange-Fate ]: ....
[ Kidman->Chase ]: I said no.
[ Philo ]: Eh you guys are lucky. in our day it was always "get dat monument out o' deh city NOW, or we'll hog tie yeh t' a car-wah rail and have yeh detailed!"
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I only said that once...
[ Kidman->Chase ]: Seriously, an ACME chucking blades; you'll never hear the end of it from Kidman.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: And I was kidding... mostly...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Carmen was never that... crass...
[ Philo ]: i was talkin' more about Carmen. I kinda miss dat in her. She had spunk. It's what it took to have punks like us listen....
[ SwedishFish ]: Ha.
[ Strange-Fate ]: The Wiley Fox
[ Kidman ]: It's not spunk. It's power.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Well also in the old days there were less of us
[ Kidman ]: I have spunk, and no one listens to me.
[ Philo ]: Whatever kid
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has left at 2:10 am
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has entered at 2:10 am
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has entered at 2:10 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: dang.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (I lost the chat log too)
[ Chase->Kidman ]: Excellent answer.
[ Chase ]: (I'll get it to you sometime, Dan)
[ Philo ]: bla...bla....Chase Luvs Carmen.....Yadda-Yadda....Fate loves Chase....yibbity-yibbity...Dan loves himself...
[ Philo ]: IDat makes up for deh chat log.
[ Kidman->Chase ]: indubitably.
[ Chase ]: You talk about Carmen and spunk... she was decently shy when she was in AC-- what?
[ SwedishFish ]: (Hahahahahaha!)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Yeah that sounds about right.
[ Kidman ]: lol
[ Strange-Fate ]: *Glares at Philo*
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (and everyone died laughing. the end.)
[ Chase ]: No, it doesn't.
[ SwedishFish ]: (I'm going to be off for a bit. Be back later.)
[ Kidman ]: I think if Master was spunky, it would creep me out.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Later Gunnar.
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has left at 2:14 am
[ Chase ]: (Take your time, Gunnar)
[ Kidman ]: Bye candy!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Isn't Carmen a little spunky?
[ Strange-Fate ]: Glad to know my feelings are of such humor and sport for you.
[ SwedishFish ]: Hej då.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I mean... she's not really stiff.
[ Philo ]: It's most o' what you talk about...sometimes I stneak off'n read a hot rod mag.
[ Chase ]: She's playful.
[Neutral Grounds]: SwedishFish has left at 2:14 am
[ Kidman ]: Mine are.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Oh come on, everyone's feelings have been fair game
[ Strange-Fate ]: But
[ Kidman ]: I'll have you know we spoke of quantum physics yesterday.
[ Chase ]: I'll say, nothing sacred around here.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: We poke fun of Chase ALL the time
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has entered at 2:15 am
[ Kidman ]: It's the rules.
[ Strange-Fate ]: I wouldn't expect you to know anything about love.
[ Chase ]: Welcome back, Sophie.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: ...who, me?
[ Philo ]: I know love...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Doc.
[ Strange-Fate ]: Hah!
[ Kidman ]: laughs a laugh that is not of this earth.
[ Philo ]: My baby is all smooth curves....sings like a siren....nicely polished chrome
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Ah, you mean Philo
[ Scarlet ]: (Ah, chat...)
[ Strange-Fate ]: Figures. A car.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Everyone loves something...
[ Philo ]: It's not a car! It's a bike, and her name is bonnie...
[ Philo ]: and it's more'n a bike, it's a bike that I crossed the Pacific wit'
[ Strange-Fate ]: bike car whatever.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Ok, what is it you love about Chase?
[ Philo ]: Tryin' to hurt me. tryin' and failin'.
[ Kidman ]: gives Philo a star.
[ Strange-Fate ]: If I wanted to hurt you you wouldn't know
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ...
[ Philo ]: You're right, I'd have no idea.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: rolls her eyes and gives up
[ Philo ]: probably spend deh rest of my life not knowin'.
[ Kidman ]: ACMEs...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: heh heh
[ Kidman ]: Not you, Philo
[ Philo ]: None taken
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Kidman ]: Love does not condemn, Fate.
[ Chase ]: That much is true.
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has left at 2:21 am
[ Kidman ]: Love Is, and manifests in many forms.
[ Philo ]: Love is never havin' to say you're sorry....until yeh realized jus' why yeh screwed up
[Neutral Grounds]: Zack has entered at 2:22 am
[ Strange-Fate ]: Love is Chase
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has entered at 2:22 am
[ Kidman ]: Cheers, Philo. I hate that statement as is.
[ Strange-Fate ]: And I love him.
[ Zack ]: Hey Ya'll!
[ Philo ]: Hey kid
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Zack
[ Kidman ]: Love means being compelled to apologize for harm done.
[ Philo ]: not kid kidman, but you Zack, a kid
[ Kidman ]: Hey zack!
[ Zack ]: Hello Philo...
[ Zack ]: Hello Kidman
[ Chase ]: Hold up... not sure the definition stands...
[ Chase ]: Zack, come in.
[ Philo ]: You'd better hope ALL deh definition does is stand
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has entered at 2:24 am
[ Kidman ]: looks in book.
[ Philo ]: Holy crap, deh sibs is together.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Woah, sibling entrance.
[ Zack ]: I ain't no kid Philo
[ Kidman ]: It DOES say 'Chase is love' in here.
[ Zack ]: (Oh god, your text Philo is so hard to read -_-)
[ Philo ]: Sure yeh are, kid.
[ Ivy ]: *knocks* Hey, it's a party.
[ Zack ]: Hey Iv'!
[ Philo ]: We grew up together, you'll always be a kid t'me
[ Ivy ]: Hey 'lil bro.
[ Chase ]: Kidman -- Keep that away from ACME's PR will you?
[ Chase ]: Ivy, nice entry.
[ Philo ]: I still remember when Zack....tried his first local blockade....Italy i think
[ Philo ]: I remember doin' a jump off of deh squad car, donutting in deh street and rivin' off.
[ Kidman ]: Parkour with a motorcycle.
[ Philo ]: Gets 'em every time
[ Kidman ]: Nice touch with the doughnut
[ Philo ]: love deh sound of a reboundin' engine, followed by a dozen police caps gettin' tossed to deh ground in frustration
[ Strange-Fate ]: I love the sound my Cauldron.
[ Strange-Fate ]: of
[ Kidman ]: VILE's got styles for miles.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I was always a fan of frustrated agents
[ Sarah-Nade ]: their sounds can be music to the ears
[ Philo ]: Eh...Ivy'd catch up. Ivy'd ALWAYS catch up
[ Sarah-Nade ]: if you get it out of them in the interrogation room the words just echo off the walls perfectly
[ Kidman ]: And Ivy would say 'that boils my pasta' and such.
[ Philo ]: After two or three times, Ivy'd remember to bring an electromagnet on a crane...
[ Strange-Fate ]: She really says that?
[ Philo ]: I'da still gotten away if I'd ever let go of Bonnie
[ Kidman ]: It's on her profile.;-)
[ Strange-Fate ]: *snickers* That's really cute.
[ Kidman ]: Awww...she took it off...
[ Kidman ]: But Ivy, that was so cute!
[ Philo ]: Well maybe she don't wannna be cute.
[ Chase ]: Ivy's cute, just not by definition.
[ Chase ]: You really have to box that term somehow.
[ Ivy ]: Hey I was 18.
[ Chase ]: And you grew up.
[ Strange-Fate ]: *bursts out laughing*
[Neutral Grounds]: Anja_Larsdotter has entered at 2:33 am
[ Strange-Fate ]: Oh man I haven't laughed that hard in a while
[ Kidman ]: Well that just fries my chicken.
[ Philo ]: Never been two agents ever given Carmen a harder time...
[ Philo ]: She was so glad when you two got on tenure.
[ Kidman ]: Oh you know master enjoyed it.
[ Philo ]: But....yeh didn't hear that from me
[ Ivy ]: Can't believe how much you changed since our first meeting, Philo.
[ Strange-Fate ]: What about the Player?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Me?!
[ Kidman ]: He got played.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *ominous music*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Anja!
[ Philo ]: Eh...I've always been the dame....jsut a little more....fragrant
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei, Mr. Dan!
[ Philo ]: Deh player was a hoax.
[ Kidman ]: But Ken still believes.
[ Philo ]: Nuttin' more den some hacker pick up on Carmen's viewscreen to taunt her...
[ Zack ]: He can't believe it! (bad, bad pun)
[ Philo ]: She got tired of dat act real quickl
[ Strange-Fate ]: really?
[ Philo ]: He wasn't ACME dat's for sure
[ Philo ]: He gave Crime-Net a boost though
[ Strange-Fate ]: So basically he was propaganda?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Mr. Chase?
[ Philo ]: Yeh, if yeh wanna put it dat way.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: The player is a lie.
[ Philo ]: Deh way I like to put it is any pinko worth their aluminum badge wouldl ike teh THINK they're gettin' close to beatin' Carmen
[ Philo ]: No offense, guys.
[ Strange-Fate ]: Figures.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Thats why I'm around... if ACME never caught someone they'd never have stayed around so long
[ Kidman ]: lulz
[ Sarah-Nade ]: so instead ACME captures me, Vic, Eartha - and gets to keep their dignity
[ Chase ]: Yeah, Anja?
[ Philo ]: Yeah, we were deh jobbers...kept you on deh payroll.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Oh, good. You are here.
[ Philo ]: Even let it slip where Carmen was....if she let us...and only whatever continent...
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Is it still a day which you can come to Norge? Luciaday?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: laughs
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Yeah, I know
[ Sarah-Nade ]: 'She's in Africa'
[ Chase ]: You're giving yourselves too much credit.
[ Kidman ]: Because at VILE, we care.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Like thats a biiiiiig freaking tip.
[ Philo ]: Well dat's not to say we didn't mess up all on our own
[ Strange-Fate ]: Seriously.
[ Chase ]: *To Anja* I said I was coming to Norway?
[ Philo ]: I know I did.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Ja! Remamber you?
[ Zack ]: You might be wearing your hat a little to tight Anja...
[ Chase ]: ...Right, uh. Remind me... December 13th?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: You like my Amerikahat, Zack?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Jaja! December 13!
[ Zack ]: Yeah....
[ Zack ]: I do like it...
[ Chase ]: I'll tell you exactly what VILE is to ACME.
[ Chase ]: Rookie training.
[ Zack ]: (I want to make a terrible joke about how lampshades are on sale, but I won't)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Hey! Heheh)
[ Chase ]: Or was. Until your boss didn't think that was enough.
[ Zack ]: (Well Zack is still unsure WHY you wear a lampshade on your head)
[ Kidman ]: Oh no he didnt'!
[ Philo ]: Maybe Chase....but you gotta keep in mind, we were jus' deh henchmen...just like yer gumshoes was gumshoes
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *cue music*
[ Philo ]: so reallyi t's deh rookies after deh rookies
[ Sarah-Nade ]: And then we killed- no, wait... we maimed - no.... we stole a building scheduled to be demolished
[ Philo ]: all of us deh pawns on deh proberbial chessboard
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Zack - http://carmensandiego.info/blogs/entry/Radio-Sonisk-Host- )
[ Chase ]: Sure. Just keep that in mind.
[ Kidman ]: Bam!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Can't let us think too highly of ourselves, don't you know?
[ Philo ]: But we do
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Philo - I love how you write the voice.)
[ Philo ]: pose high-fives sarah.
[ Kidman ]: You're still one of us at heart, aren't you mate?
[ Philo ]: (Comic books. comic books teach you how to write accents,0
[ Strange-Fate ]: My cousin is no pawn.
[ Kidman ]: :-)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Because there's no way that we, as henchmen, also play into the same game and let ACME do what they do
[ Sarah-Nade ]: high fives Philo
[ Philo ]: I kept deh spirit. I lost interest in deh work.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Heh.)
[ Kidman ]: (I can hear him talk. It's awesome)
[ Philo ]: Now I get to soup up engines all day.
[ Chase ]: You should have stuck to letting ACME do what we do.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Its not a bad gig you've got, Philo.
[ Philo ]: And get to call my ma
[ Kidman ]: Best of both worlds, mate
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Even if you get to deal with Cranky McBeefcake
[ Strange-Fate ]: And neither am I
[ Kidman ]: Here at VILE, your satisfaction is our top priority.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Cranky McBeefcake?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Oh no, Jewel, you're a special snowflake
[ Sarah-Nade ]: You and you alone will catch Carmen
[ Philo ]: Eh...I barely see chase....usually just get sub-conned by someone morem inor.
[ Ivy ]: Well, Top Grunge didn't have such a bad rep when we came to ACME. That's the good thing with VILE, no serious offenses other than grand theft.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: then go on to defeat Squire, marry Chase
[ Kidman ]: (I loled. It hurt)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Maybe win the lottery
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Who is McBeefcake?
[ Philo ]: Which reminds me. DAN! We're gonna need another week on the Volkswagon. Gotta bend out deh front frame t' fit deh engine
[ Strange-Fate ]: ....
[ Sarah-Nade ]: What misdemeanor does stealing ACME Tower qualify as?>
[ Kidman ]: Cranky McBeefcake forever.
[ Kidman ]: (I love you forever too, Sarah)
[ Chase ]: Misdemeanor? It's over $5000 in value. It counts as a felony.
[ Zack ]: The misdemeanor as "You're absolutley screwed?"
[ Chase ]: indictable offence.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: ok, so what was, say, stealing Graceland?
[ Chase ]: Coincidentally, also qualifies for terms under the laws of Tunisia.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Need my help Philo?
[ Chase ]: Why don't you tell me why she hasn't exactly been around?
[ Kidman ]: He said grand theft, love.
[ Philo ]: Yeh took soemthin' way more valuable den the louvre or deh sistine chapel, yeh took away deh pride of several hundred gumshoes wit' dirty harry complexes.
[ Chase ]: Letting you lot parade around here asking the questions for her?
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has entered at 2:53 am
[ Philo ]: Sure Dan, yeh can check deh tire pressure...
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *gasp* Miss Carmen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[ Ivy ]: Carmen!
[ Chase ]: (Christ)
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has left at 2:53 am
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Sit with me! Sit with me!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: CARMEN!!!
[ Carmen ]: Did I come at a bad time?
[ Kidman ]: OH SMACK!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: How is stealing Graceland, the Tower of London, the Great Pyramids or the Sphinx NOT worse than stealing ACME tower
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: whooooooooosee CHAT MAGIC WAS THAT!?!?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Hey Car-
[ Chase ]: No, stay.
[ Kidman ]: That, that there, was insane.
[ Zack ]: No, it was just your impeccable timing as always
[ Chase ]: Sarah -- they're all the same, no one said they were different.
[ Kidman ]: [ Chase ]: Why don't you tell me why she hasn't exactly been around?
... [ Kidman ]: He said grand theft, love.
... [ Philo ]: Yeh took soemthin' way more valuable den the louvre or deh sistine chapel, yeh took away deh
...pride of several hundred gumshoes wit' dirty harry complexes.
... [ Chase ]: Letting you lot parade around here asking the questions for her?
...[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has entered at 2:53 am

[ Sarah-Nade ]: Ok, so how is this 'crossing the line'
[ Sarah-Nade ]: when we've not only crossed but hopscotched all over that line for 10 years?
[ Philo ]: I still got a time share in Barbados.
[ Carmen ]: has a feeling she was right on her timing.
[ Philo ]: I don't take vacation...I hate Barbados
[ Carmen ]: We're not arguing about the importance of ACME Tower and our previous thefts are we?
[ Kidman ]: is further conviced that Carmen is majick.
[ Philo ]: ....What if we were?
[ Chase ]: I'm not, some of us are.
[ Strange-Fate ]: You I will defeat you!!!
[ Philo ]: Yeah an' if I had wheels I'd be a wagon
[ Strange-Fate ]: I'm not talking to you Phil
[ Ivy ]: Strange Fate, calm down there.
[ Carmen ]: Yes, of course, Jewelry, please be calm dear. You'll get your turn.
[ Philo ]: It's philo...
[ Kidman ]: is still reeling from amazing entrance timing.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *pats seat* Miss Carmen, sit here, takk.
[ Philo ]: I will swear total and absolute justice upon yeh if you keep forgettin' teh stick the 'o' on my name
[ Carmen ]: Thank you, Anja.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Yay!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: sighs
[ Chase ]: Right, tower... gone.
[ Philo ]: Sometimes yeh want rock, sometimes yeh want techno
[ Strange-Fate ]: My arch-enemy appears.
[ Carmen ]: Let's end this somewhat? The only difference between everything else, and the tower, was that ACME tower happens to be a directive.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: This chat is going too fast.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *()
[ Chase ]: Directive?
[ Kidman ]: This chat is awesome.
[ Carmen ]: Don't get up, Chase, please.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (agreed,DA)
[ Carmen ]: Yes, a directive.
[ Philo ]: Already said too much...
[ Carmen ]: It begins a series of events, and that hasn't ended.
[ Chase ]: Like what?
[ Kidman ]: gasp
[ Carmen ]: Who's Director of Operations now?
[ Chase ]: ...what?
[ Strange-Fate ]: ....
[ Philo ]: Ah just google it
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *gasp!*
 [ Philo ]: And a million lightbulbs jus' went off...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (I never thought of it, but Carmen basically promoted Chase with that heist.)
[ Chase ]: Don't do that.
[ Strange-Fate ]: You mean it wasn't obvious from the start?!
[ Philo ]: you gettin' dis Sarah?
[ Carmen ]: I hate to bring it up as well, but someone is certainly benefiting.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Yep
[ Philo ]: So I guess all dat stuff about VILE keepin' acme in business....isn't jus' a taunt anymore is it, Chase?
[ Strange-Fate ]: See! Like a Fox!
[ Kidman ]: Here at VILE, well, you know the rest.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (and somewhere a desk locked Mayhem is about to kick a wall)
[ Ivy ]: ...
[ Ivy ]: Too much to take in.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Word.
[ Strange-Fate ]: Makes sense. She wants Chase don't you see?
[ Carmen ]: Thank you, Jewelry, your compliment is appreciated.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, not the wanting Chase part, he's too sombre for my taste.
[ Carmen ]: No one needs a stick in the mud.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Mr. Chase is so a joker.
[ Kidman ]: is beginning to get weirded out by Fate.
[ Chase ]: Push it, really.
[ Strange-Fate ]: A false-flag operation.
[ Kidman ]: Cranky McBeefcake.
[ Carmen ]: A new nickname?
[ Kidman ]: Courtesy of Sarah.
[ Kidman ]: I have sworn to never let it die.
[ Carmen ]: *Nods to Sarah* Well created.
