Welcome! You have entered [Neutral Grounds] at 10:41 am
[ 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.
[Neutral Grounds]: admin has entered at 11:12 am
[Neutral Grounds]: admin has left at 11:14 am
[ Kidman ]: Hullo, admin. You're looking rather unCarmen today.
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has entered at 11:14 am
[ Carmen ]: Mm, much better.
[ Kidman ]: Welcome back.
[ Kidman ]: It's coming along. I expect it to be a slow climb.
[ Carmen ]: Ah, yes, but such climbs are necessary.
[ Kidman ]: All that matters is that it is in the race.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, quite.
[ Kidman ]: I'm going to try and get on the Daily Show, too.
[Neutral Grounds]: Chase has entered at 11:17 am
[ Kidman ]: Have you gotten yours yet?
[ Chase ]: Here's a different crowd...
[ Chase ]: Just the two of you?
[ Kidman ]: Hullo Chase.
[ Kidman ]: The Ducati charm worked this time.
[ Carmen ]: (I have, I forgot to tell you, but my sister has borrowed it almost immediately.)
[ Carmen ]: Chase, welcome, have you had long journey?
[ Kidman ]: And now that I have your middle name, I can summon you too.
[ Chase ]: Ducati, heh.
[ Kidman ]: Chat majick.
[ Kidman ]: (That seems to be a good sign.:-))
[ Carmen ]: (Kidman, for what you mentioned about Sophie's post, I agree as well, but was there a particular part that you read as 'odd'?)
[ Chase ]: *Sits in his chair*
[ Kidman ]: (Nothing in particular. She just seems so...dettached. Who would leave ACME at such a time, have no real opinion on the matter, have no real reaction to the events?)
[ Kidman ]: (Almost robotic)
[ Kidman ]: (Makes Chase look human.;-))
[ Chase ]: (She's still working on Sophie.)
[ Carmen ]: (May I remove the parentheses?)
[ Kidman ]: Lets
[ Chase ]: Sure
[ Chase ]: I know people have asked that about Sophie... that she's detached, I think 'detached' is used a lot.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I gave Patty my Lee recon. She was quite disturbed.
[ Chase ]: I also know it's a stark contrast when compared to Ivy's post below.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I haven't passed on my full findings on Chase.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Yes, Patty may overreact at times.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'd rather that stay secret.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: She also has a slight crush on Chase, if I read correctly.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Ha. They all thing I do.
[ Carmen ]: I had always thought Dr. Conrad was somewhat unemotional?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Think
[ Kidman ]: It just feels rather extreme in such circumstances.
[ Chase ]: Yeah, but there's intentional distance... and there's 'detached'.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: They think you have something for Chase?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Oh yes. I think it's because I engage with him so much.
[ Carmen ]: I'm sure she's aware of this? Scarlet is an aspiring writer, I'm sure she's well aware.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: http://www.theseventhstarprojects.com/kidmanbotherslee.htm
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Had some fun with Lee.
[ Chase ]: Heh, yeah, I think she knows, she just needs some constructive criticism.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: You have to scroll a bit
[ Kidman ]: There was a bit of 'dead space', which I think happens in long form RP.
[ Carmen ]: I wouldn't bother her too much now, she's studying as well.
[ Kidman ]: People feel they need to write a long post and will put non-nessecary plot in.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: *Laughs* Josh does play a very consistent character.
[ Chase ]: Yeah, it happens plenty of time here... but we usually end up taking the good ones for a story arc.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: He's the only one I know that has to play opposite himself. It must be hard.
[ Kidman ]: Sounds like a neat mutation.
[ Carmen ]: Chase is very good at story manipulation...
[ Chase ]: I'll take that as a compliment.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Yes, he's improved quite a bit.
[ Carmen ]: You should.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: It makes it harder to corrupt the character, that's for sure.
[ Carmen ]: Some people are in it for their own characters, the good ones are in it for the story.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Chase and CJ are linked. I can use that. Josh is pushing against Lee.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Mm, brilliant observation.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Will be a might more difficult.;-)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: It's what I do.
[ Kidman ]: I'm in it for the Boss.;-)
[ Chase ]: As long as we're honest, I'm in it for your boss too.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I've studied people for so long that I always wish to test theories, but never on real people.
[ Kidman ]: :heart:
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs*
[ Carmen ]: We're all "in it" together, so this is a good thing.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: What type of theories?
[ Chase ]: Agreed.
[ Kidman ]: Who doesn't love Carmen?
[ Kidman ]: Oh, right.
[ Chase ]: Jordan?
[ Kidman ]: That guy.;-)
[ Chase ]: I think he's just got his priorities mixed up.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: It's mostly intangible.
[ Kidman ]: I think he's in love.
[ Kidman ]: So yes, everyone does love Carmen.
[ Carmen ]: I'm not too sure about the definition of "Love" as we speak of it.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I feel loose stones, I push them.
[ Kidman ]: The vaguest one possible.
[ Chase ]: Fine line... love and hate.
[ Chase ]: I remember talking to Euge after Jordan had his first 'outburst'.
[ Kidman ]: In his case, yes, but not always.
[ Chase ]: Euge said something like, "Tempted to see him loose, just to see what happens."
[ Carmen ]: I can almost wager, nothing will happen.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I love that CJ just openly admitted he wants you to win.
[ Chase ]: 'almost'?
[ Carmen ]: Almost. I'm not foolishly absolute.
[ Kidman ]: It depends on if he can find the right partner.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: *Laughs* In his "in it for your boss" statement?
[ Kidman ]: In other words, keep Lee and Contessa seperated.
[ Chase ]: Or the right situation.
[ Carmen ]: Ah, well, I have no worries on Adrianna either.
[ Chase ]: Your life insurance must be decently high.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Yes. Funny he'd say that. His gaurd must be down.
[ Carmen ]: Not nearly as high as an ACME Director of Operations, I'm sure.
[ Kidman ]: Why would you even have life insurance, Carmen?
[ Carmen ]: Your enemies are more ruthless than mine.
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs* I don't.
[ Carmen ]: I prefer no strings.
[ Chase ]: We're swimming in the same pool you know.
[ Kidman ]: Good. The last thing you need is to give your enemies another incentive to kill you.
[ Carmen ]: I'm sure some of our posse overlap.
[ Kidman ]: watches Mother and Father swim about.
[ Chase ]: You work your side, then; I'll work mine.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: When we remove parentheses, it's hard to stay in character completely.
[ Carmen ]: Did you help Ivy with her post?
[ Chase ]: No, actually, just gave her facts.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: It looks just like my head.:-)
[ Kidman ]: I wonder if the chats had any effect?
[ Chase ]: She was really open earlier to practicing banter, that helps grow character.
[ Chase ]: Chats always have an effect.
[ Chase ]: The more you practice talking as your character, the better it gets.
[ Chase ]: It took a while for Sophie because when she first came, she only spoke OOC...
[ Chase ]: but she's growing too.
[ Kidman ]: That would do it.
[ Carmen ]: I just noted how similar Ivy and Sophie are physically.
[ Chase ]: Yeah, I tend to accidentally relate one with the other.
[ Chase ]: Except I think Sophie is playing more a brunette than a redhead... she's not so hot tempered.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, it's only natural, I'm sure.
[ Kidman ]: So who goes next?
[ Chase ]: It is.
[ Chase ]: Redheads.
[ Chase ]: Not sure who's going next.
[ Chase ]: I'm thinking of just writing something and covering for Euge and Mikal so we don't have to waste time bantering...
[ Kidman ]: Someone from the plane, I would think
[ Carmen ]: Oxide already bored?
[ Chase ]: We're not bored.
[ Chase ]: 2 of 3 of us have writers' block.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, yes, or Deric and Cali should give their input.
[ Chase ]: heh.
[ Chase ]: Any ideas on how and when we might meet in this RP?
[ Chase ]: Or should we go ahead and do what we did in Luxe? Completely avoid one another.
[ Kidman ]: Oxide? You have a team name?
[ Kidman ]: I was just calling you the Rat Pack.
[ Carmen ]: It's simply code, darling, it's simply put in place of 'command' in some cases.
[ Carmen ]: And Chase, I doubt we can go on 'not speaking' much longer.
[ Carmen ]: There's a certain level of understanding we'll need to establish or this may (for lack of a better word) blow.
[ Chase ]: I acknowledge your use of a sexy innuendo, and motion with an agreement.
[ Kidman ]: Ha ha.
[ Carmen ]: Where and how was that a sexy innuendo?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'm sure Chase will get to see Carmen, when she's good and ready to do so.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Mm, yes.
[ Chase ]: I don't have to explain myself.
[ Kidman ]: She's British, love.
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs*
[ Chase ]: I don't want to over-do it, so one meeting?
[ Kidman ]: Well now...
[ Kidman ]: What makes you think she would?
[ Kidman ]: ;-)
[ Chase ]: She said so herself, we need to establish a level of understanding.
[ Carmen ]: Let's aim for the one meeting, as the story matures, when and where should work itself into the equation.
[ Kidman ]: tries to continue innuendo, fails.
[ Carmen ]: I must be missing something.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Are you?
[ Chase ]: (Let me help... If you're not who you are and I'm not who I am, we'd be much closer... much.)
[ Carmen ]: I thought we were discontinuing the parentheses for the while?
[ Chase ]: There's no way I could have said that OOC without brackets -- no way.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Well, for clarification, 'to blow' someone means to have oral sex with a man.
[ Kidman ]: finds this hilarious.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: There's a point in the story where we will need to clarify either side.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Mm, now I'm somewhat embarrassed.
[ Carmen ]: All right, I understand the double meaning of 'blow' now, you may stop grinning.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Sorry love. He started it.;-)
[ Chase ]: Heh.
[ Kidman->Chase ]: I had to tell her, man.;-)
[ Carmen ]: Must you resort to being a teenager?
[ Chase ]: No, really, it's only funny because you said it.
[ Chase ]: If it came from anybody else, I wouldn't have made any effort.
[ Kidman ]: And I found it funny because he jumped on it.
[ Chase->Kidman ]: She does this... all the time. It's adorable. Sometimes, she goes "Oh, no! I don't mean that!" and goes quiet.
[ Chase ]: Worth every typed letter.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, I'm sure.
[ Kidman->Chase ]: I thought she was playing around.;-)
[ Chase ]: At least the room wasn't full of impressionable young men like that time you talked about my silk boxers.
[ Carmen ]: That was harmless.
[ Chase ]: Sure, I think Gunnar's still quoting it.
[ Kidman ]: To be honest, I thought you were trying to draw him out on it, Carmen.
[ Carmen ]: I was, if anything.
[ Chase ]: That's why she's not affected.
[ Chase ]: But me, I'm being judged on my choice of underwear.
[ Kidman ]: What would be the manliest answer to that question?
[ Kidman ]: Commando?
[ Carmen ]: Please, you're giving me too much credit. Not everything I say in chat gets catapulted into legend.
[ Chase ]: If you talked more, I'd be in trouble.
[ Carmen ]: Shall I talk less?
[ Chase ]: No.
[ Chase ]: Just... stay around this level.
[ Chase ]: It's fine.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Are you okay?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: To be completely honest I really thought you were pulling him on.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: *Laughs* I'm fine, darling.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I tug him at times, but not always. It keeps a good balance.
[ Carmen ]: *Studies Chase in his chair.*
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: So when does Mother return to her brood?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: When do I return to VILE? Soon, of course.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I'll need to wait a while for more people to put their leg into the story.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Good, because Chase and friends would rather you stall. Not sure why.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Then Carmen will hear of the plane crash on the news.
[ Chase ]: feels self conscious but doesn't know why.
[ Kidman ]: Did you know Storm and Bran bought me a coffin?
[ Chase ]: I'm going to grab a drink, anyone want anything?
[ Carmen ]: Coffin? Where is it?
[ Carmen ]: I'll have water, thank you.
[ Kidman ]: I guess they put it in the corner over here...
[ Chase ]: pours Carmen some wine.
[ Kidman ]: looks at shady Chase.
[ Kidman ]: Praise Jesus!
[ Carmen ]: Ah no, Chase, I wanted water.
[ Chase ]: I know, but it's Reisling.
[ Kidman ]: It was water.
[ Kidman ]: But he turned it to wine
[ Kidman ]: Like some kind of Jesus lion.
[ Chase ]: *hints to Kidman* What she said.
[ Kidman ]: sits on coffin.
[ Kidman ]: That eats people.
[ Carmen ]: *nods* Year?
[ Chase ]: German red reisling, 2009, borders Austria.
[ Chase ]: shows her the bottle.
[ Carmen ]: *Considers briefly then takes the flute* Good boy.
[ Chase ]: chuckles
[ Kidman ]: plays majick violin.
[ Chase ]: I'll hide it in the frige, not that anybody here knows decent wine.
[ Chase ]: Does the violinist want something to drink?
[ Kidman ]: I'm good, actually. Cheers.
[ Carmen ]: Would you like a little wine, Kidman?
[ Carmen ]: *Offers Kidman a sip of the flute*
[ Kidman ]: ...no. Sorry, I can't.
[ Carmen ]: Not at all?
[ Kidman ]: *low whisper* I'm on duty. If you drink, I can't.
[ Chase ]: pours himself a bit of scotch.
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs softly* You won't get drunk with a sip, darling.
[ Kidman ]: What if it's....?
[ Carmen ]: And I certainly won't be disadvantaged in here.
[ Carmen ]: Scotch? Isn't it still mid day?
[ Kidman ]: is uncertain.
[ Chase ]: It's evening somewhere.
[ Chase ]: *shakes glass lightly back and forth*
[ Carmen ]: *To Kidman* Don't be silly, poison is extremely difficult to conceal in Reisling.
[ Chase ]: *chuckles*
[ Chase ]: That one's a keeper.
[ Kidman ]: I know but I'd feel better not doing so...yes?
[ Kidman ]: Actually, I will take a small glass.
[ Chase ]: Sure, a tiny serving.
[ Chase ]: pours a bit for Kidman in a flute.
[ Kidman ]: nods and takes glass but does not drink.
[ Chase ]: Here's your bit. Smell it before you sip.
[ Kidman ]: Cheers, love.
[ Carmen ]: *Absently untangles a loose knot in Kidman's hair* She's learning.
[ Chase ]: To what? Be less paranoid?
[ Carmen ]: To fit in, you don't think so?
[ Kidman ]: sighs inwardly as she studies glass.
[ Chase ]: Doesn't matter what I think, does it?
[ Chase ]: Still nice to know you'd take Reisling from me.
[ Carmen ]: Would you take a Scotch from me?
[ Chase ]: I don't take Scotch from anybody.
[ Kidman ]: It's not you I was worried about.
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs*
[ Chase ]: Who were you worried about?
[ Kidman ]: I don't know where that bottles's been.
[ Chase ]: And if I didn't know, I wouldn't offer it to her.
[ Carmen ]: Ah, the gallant knight.
[ Carmen ]: Two thousand and nine was a rather good year for Reisling.
[ Kidman ]: I may not have much experience in the outside world, but the information that passes through the inside world is disturbing.
[ Chase ]: *Nods to Kidman*
[ Carmen ]: I'll remind you this is neutral grounds.
[ Chase ]: How many people do you think die over No Man's Land?
[ Kidman ]: Force of habit...
[ Carmen ]: That's out of context, Chase, this isn't war.
[ Chase ]: You'd think.
[ Kidman ]: Some kill because they can.
[ Kidman ]: continues to analyze liquid in her glass.
[ Chase ]: *Chuckles*
[ Chase ]: What worries you more, Kidd? The fact that there are people out to get her or the fact that she doesn't care?
[ Kidman ]: I'd rather she not care. :-)
[ Carmen ]: I prefer not to care. C'est la vie, so to speak.
[ Kidman ]: Besides, it's always the passenger in the car that suffers more.
[ Chase ]: Even if VILE has to disband because of your recklessness?
[ Carmen ]: Mm, to clarify, I am not reckless.
[ Carmen ]: And I do have a strong sense of self-preservation, thank you very much.
[ Carmen ]: I only refuse to be a victim to fear.
[ Chase ]: Fair enough.
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has entered at 1:03 pm
[ Chase ]: Sophie, come in.
[ Carmen ]: Welcome, Dr. Conrad.
[ Scarlet ]: Good evening.
[ Chase ]: You want something to drink?
[ Kidman ]: seemgly finishes her study and takes a sip.
[ Kidman ]: Hullo, love.
[ Kidman ]: *seemingly
[ Carmen ]: *To Kidman* Slowly now.
[ Scarlet ]: No, thank you, Director...
[ Kidman ]: I wish I had thought to do that sooner... *mumbles*
[ Carmen ]: Reisling is a sweeter variety, if you drink it too quickly, it becomes tart.
[ Scarlet ]: Oh, there is wine?
[ Chase ]: Just Reisling.
[ Chase ]: You want some? I also have a scotch.
[ Scarlet ]: Red, I presume?
[ Chase ]: Red reisling, 2009, Austria-Germany border.
[ Chase ]: Even Kidman has some.
[ Scarlet ]: smiles.
[ Scarlet ]: I'll have a glass.
[ Chase ]: pours Dr. Conrad a flute of Reisling.
[ Scarlet ]: How is everyone doing?
[ Scarlet ]: Merci, Directeur...
[ Carmen ]: I'm doing rather well, it's good to see you, Doctor.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: How long will you be on for?
[ Scarlet ]: As is you, Miss Sandiego. You must have been travelling much.
[ Carmen ]: I have, although you must be travelling as well? Have you transferred to Field yet?
[ Chase ]: We'll see where that goes, right now, she's on Christmas beak.
[ Chase ]: *break
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Mm, not too long after this, it's nearly suppertime.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Do you need to leave dear?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Don't let me keep you.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: The missus wants to go out, but I think she's falling asleep.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Think I will, too.
[ Scarlet ]: Is that the reason I was asked to return to San Francisco earlier?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Will you be on later?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: *Laughs* That's certainly adorable of you both.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I'll try to be on tomorrow at the same time, if possible.
[ Chase ]: Not the only reason
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: See you then, possibly.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: *smiles* Yes, see you then.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: In te meantime, Kidman needs to find Roux
[ Scarlet ]: doesn't ask anymore.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: And learn what she should be looking for.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Roux?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: in the next glass she gets
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: He's an odd man to seek.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: No one knows poison better.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, international man of mystery.
[ Chase ]: *Raises glass* thanks.
[ Chase ]: I try.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Ah, but of course.
[ Carmen ]: Really, now.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: She says process of elimination took too long just now.
[ Chase ]: Well, at least I dress decently.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Process of elimination?
[ Carmen ]: I can't argue.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: She scanned the Reisling for anything she didn't recognize.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: It would have been faster if she knew what she was looking for.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Wine reacts terribly to poison.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: The smell itself would be a giveaway.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: 'poison' is a broad term. There is nothing that wouldn't mix well with wine?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: would
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: sorry, double negative.
[ Kidman ]: International man of pancakes.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: For one, Reisling is rather rich in sugar. And glucose has been known to counter the effects of cyanide.
[ Chase ]: Not familiar with that term.
[ Carmen ]: Why pancakes?
[ Chase ]: (They don't have IHOPs in Europe...)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Any other forms of poison requires larger dosage or the smell would give it away instantly.
[ Kidman ]: They have a resturant chain in the states; Intenational house of pancakes.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Of course, I'm no expert.
[ Carmen ]: Ah, of course.
[ Carmen ]: I need to catch up on these things.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Perhaps she thinks too much, but that's Kidman.
[ Chase ]: Don't, really.
[ Chase ]: American pop culture references is a waste of time.
[ Kidman ]: imagines Chase in a suit of pancakes.
[ Kidman ]: So ethnocentric of you, Chase.
[ Chase ]: wonders what Kidman's looking at.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: She wouldn't be Kidman if she didn't think.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Arsenic.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Arsenic mixes.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I call is passenger syndrome, though I'm sure it has a real name.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: The person in danger isn't the one with the most fear, it's the one next to them.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: The one going the same route but lacking steering or brakes.
[ Kidman ]: Didn't you have a bird?
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has left at 1:36 pm
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has left at 1:36 pm
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has entered at 1:37 pm
[ Scarlet ]: (Sorry, Flash produced an error of some sorts.)
[ Chase ]: You okay?
[ Chase ]: I have a bird... what about it?
[ Kidman ]: How come you never bring it in?
[ Chase ]: He uh... bites.
[ Chase ]: And if I bring him in, he'll have to be hoodwinked and set aside. He doesn't like that either.
[ Kidman ]: Poor baby.
[ Kidman ]: How goes the nanobots, Doctor?
[ Chase ]: He doesn't get along well with other people.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I can see Kidman taking that role quite seriously.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Professional worrier should be her title...
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: And after a bit more tooling about the internet, arsenic poses a very real danger throug wine.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: With a nickname of 'inheritance powder' from Med-Ren ages, seems spot on.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Wife has decided to bake cookies instead.
[ Kidman ]: I rescued a budgie.
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has entered at 1:55 pm
[ Kidman ]: Hullo Ivy
[ Ivy ]: Hey Kidman.
[ Ivy ]: (Both Chase and Carmen, this is rare!)
[ Chase ]: Ivy, come in.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: But Arsenic requires a regular dosage.
[ Ivy ]: *takes a seat*
[Neutral Grounds]: Chip_Masters has entered at 1:58 pm
[ Ivy ]: Chip!
[ Chip_Masters ]: Hi.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: If the dose is high enough, no. And death need not be the only goal. Incapacitation in Carmen's case would equal the same.
[ Ivy ]: Where have you been?
[ Kidman ]: In Eartha's bed.
[ Chip_Masters ]: ... in my office,
[ Kidman ]: :biggrin:
[ Chase ]: Heh heh
[ Chase ]: Want something to drink, Ivy, Chip?
[ Ivy ]: Doubt they've gotten that far, Kidman.
[ Ivy ]: I'm fine,thanks.
[ Chase ]: No beer?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Mm, that would be a sad status.
[ Scarlet ]: Good evening, Ivy, Mr. Masters.
[ Scarlet ]: Miss Kidman, the research is moving along, thank you.
[ Kidman ]: You guys watch Futurama? This reminds me of the amazon women one.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I got her to confirm it!
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: *steals nanobots*
[ Ivy ]: Hey Sophie.
[ Scarlet ]: (Ivy, I do want to compliment you on your post. I like the direction you're taking things in. Your post made me smile. :) )
[ Ivy ]: (Aw, thanks!)
[ Chase ]: Yes, that post, great work.
[ Ivy ]: (I'm expecting some retaliation... the boys don't seem like they want to be found.)
[ Chase ]: (forgot the brackets)
[ Kidman ]: I concur
[ Kidman ]: ()
[ Kidman ]: leaves this here for Chip.
[ Kidman ]: http://theinfosphere.org/File:Amazon_Women_in_the_Mood.jpg
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Who to confirm what, dear?
[ Ivy ]: (good old futurama)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Sophie confirmed she is indeed researching nanobots.
[ Kidman ]: I feel bad teasing, but serves him right for playing this game.
[ Kidman ]: You too, Chase.
[ Chip_Masters ]: Quit it.
[ Kidman ]: How do you sleep at night?
[ Chase ]: (Ivy, retaliation will be served, watch your back.)
[ Kidman ]: (must protect Ivy. Wait...)
[ Chase ]: I sleep decently, thanks.
[ Carmen ]: You sleep?
[ Ivy ]: (Things sure get turned around fast.)
[ Kidman ]: Taking advantage of an invalid like that. Shame.
[ Ivy ]: I don't think anyone can really take advantage of Eartha.
[ Kidman ]: :nono:
[ Chase ]: Eartha's not an invalid.
[ Kidman ]: She's a hopeless romantic from what I heard.
[ Chase ]: She knows what she's doing.
[ Carmen ]: She does like her romance.
[ Kidman ]: Yeah, you got me there...
[ Carmen ]: But she can take care of herself, let's not doubt her.
[ Ivy ]: Nothing wrong with being a hopeless romantic
[ Kidman ]: Now if only we had someone to seduce Chase. Hmm.....
[ Chase ]: *Chuckles* Not a chance, Kidd.
[ Chase ]: Ivy -- takes one to know one?
[ Ivy ]: Let's just say, if Eartha and I were one the same side, we'd trade novels.
[ Carmen ]: I'm sure the act of 'seducing' Chase is much easier than actually getting him to do what we want.
[ Kidman ]: SO CUTE!:cat:
[ Chase ]: *Nods* True.
[ Chip_Masters ]: *Sigh* I'm gonna have to drink a lot to forget this mission...
[ Kidman ]: You think?
[ Chase ]: Not subject to my libido.
[ Kidman ]: How great would that be if Eartha could seduce Chase?
[ Ivy ]: Courage, Mr. Masters.
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has entered at 2:15 pm
[ Ivy ]: I think Chase is more into the mysterious type.
[ Carmen ]: I think we may fail miserably, as Eartha could more easily fall for Chase instead.
[ Carmen ]: The logic is simply undeniable.
[ Kidman ]: Contessa's pretty mysterious.
[ Kidman ]: (lol)
[ EarlJr ]: these are all horrifying possibilities
[ Chase ]: Euge, come in... help me a little here.
[ Kidman ]: Well I'm not doing it.
[ Ivy ]: Euge, just in time to save Chase.
[ EarlJr ]: sighs
[ EarlJr ]: that figures
[ Kidman ]: Hmmm...we don't have many active agents...
[ Chase ]: I'm practically drowning in a sea of conspiracy.
[ Ivy ]: Honestly, the person with the best shot would be Carmen, followed closely by Contessa.
[ Kidman ]: Oh you'll be fine. I have to leave.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Well, I'm off. Cheers!
[ EarlJr ]: later Kidman
[ Carmen ]: Be well, dear.
[ Chase ]: Have a good one, Kidd.
[ Ivy ]: Take care, Kidman.
