Welcome! You have entered [Neutral Grounds] at 12:18 am
[ Kidman ]: Try to always stay in character. (Use parentheses for out-of-character chats.)
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has entered at 12:57 am
[ Kidman ]: Hey mate.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: 'Morning!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: hows it going?
[ Kidman ]: Eh. But not bad. Seriously need Carmen to come on. How about you?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: eh it goes ok, can't complain - I saw the artwork. Everything ok?
[ Kidman ]: Oh, you mean the one with Chase?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: yeah
[ Kidman ]: Chase and I have these...sessions, one on one. I get a LOT of info out of him, but it's rough going for Kidman.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Understandable...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: He's, uh... he's a tough guy to crack, I'll say that
[ Kidman ]: Kidman and Chase have a weird relationship. Let me find a good example...
[ Kidman->Sarah-Nade ]: http://www.theseventhstarprojects.com/chaseredux.rtf
[ Kidman->Sarah-Nade ]: I wasn't able to save the chat
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Huh, interesting chat
[ Kidman ]: Probably one of the hardest I've had.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I can understand that...
[ Kidman ]: It would have continued, but I got insanely sick out of the blue and had to bail.
[ Kidman ]: My body does that.
[ Kidman ]: I've had creepy ones since, too.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: sighs
[ Sarah-Nade ]: walks over to the bar and pours herself a shot of whiskey and downs in quick
[ Sarah-Nade ]: ...If you start getting into the philosophy of this lifestyle it always hurts...
[ Kidman ]: Why did she have to tell me about the friggn' tower first?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Its not just the tower,
[ Kidman ]: I had it over my head the whole time I trained.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: You think it is but there's always something.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: A tower, a landmark, a jewel, a day of the week...
[ Kidman ]: It was different before. He could look away before. Not now.
[ Kidman ]: ACME is going to kill us.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: They'll try...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Its not going to happen.
[ Kidman ]: ...
[ Kidman ]: I've never seen them this angry...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: pours another drink, this time in a larger glass and watering it down with another liquid
[ Sarah-Nade ]: It happens sometimes...
[ Kidman ]: There will be damage.
[ Kidman ]: I can only hope it's worth it to her.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: The part that gets me about that convo you showed me? Chase expects Carmen to keep looking at him the exact same way
[ Sarah-Nade ]: shakes her head
[ Kidman ]: He's upset because she made it this way.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: He wants it both ways... and so does she.
[ Kidman ]: And really, they almost could have.
[ Kidman ]: But then she stole the tower.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: It was a ***** tower, Kidman.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: The kid missing? I get that.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: But that tower was old, it was going to be demolished. You know it, I know it
[ Sarah-Nade ]: What Chase is mad about is looking bad
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Thats what they're all getting their panties in a bunch about
[ Kidman ]: That's the whole damn thing!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Do you know how much ***** we've stolen over the years?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: seriously?
[ Kidman ]: Can you think of one thing Master could have done to get them pissed off?
[ Kidman ]: more pissed off?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: She's literally gone back into time and changed history, threatened the fabric of time itself and yet things were still all games
[ Kidman ]: That Master would do? Not killing and stuff.
[ Kidman ]: (we did in the RP?)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (actually not in this RP... I should probably retcon that statement out)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (but in the cartoon, the gameshow and the game yes)
[ Kidman ]: (So hard recalibrating for this thing sometimes.;-p)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I've stolen things for VILE that was an afront to religion, race, sexuality or all three
[ Kidman ]: Sexuality?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: We've done things, taken things, effected things that would make most thieves shudder at the mere thought
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Yeah, I stole the San Francisco Pride Parade once
[ Sarah-Nade ]: It was aweomse
[ Sarah-Nade ]: *awesome
[ Kidman ]: ....?
[ Kidman ]: How...?
[ Kidman ]: The people?
[ Kidman ]: You stole the people?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I picked up about 15 floats via helecopters.... most of the people stayed behind but I got a few straglers
[ Kidman ]: laughs despite herself.
[ Kidman ]: So what did you do with them?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: eventually they ended up in ACME's parking lot...
[ Kidman ]: Short trip.;-)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I said eventually
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Those things got more milage between the parade and that drop off than any parade EVER
[ Sarah-Nade ]: but honestly thats not the point
[ Sarah-Nade ]: The point is ACME, the good guys, the ones who are supposed to be protecting the world, could have done this any time
[ Kidman ]: (lol)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: They've had the ability to 'crack down' anytime and they choose when to do it?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: When someone challeges Chase Devineau's dick size.
[ Kidman ]: Chase told me he let it go because there was worse out there.
[ Kidman ]: It's not Chase!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: brb
[ Kidman ]: k
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has entered at 2:10 am
[ Kidman ]: Hey Doc.
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has left at 2:12 am
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (ok back)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Where was I... oh yes.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Point being you're right, its not Chase. Its all of ACME.
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has entered at 2:15 am
[ Kidman ]: If you're trying to convince me that ACME is hypocritical, no need.
[ Kidman ]: Hullo, DA
[ Kidman ]: Welcome to VILE-talk.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I can deal with Hypocrites. Hypocracy, on its own, doesn't get us killed.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ....
[ Kidman ]: But Master knows this. She HAS to know this.
[ Kidman ]: Why the ***** would she poke the nest?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: This has been a game so long who wouldn't think that taking the tower would be fine?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: So this is what VILE talk is all about...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: When I have a few too many? Yeah.
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has left at 2:18 am
[ Kidman ]: No. Nononon. I will not...
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has entered at 2:18 am
[ Kidman ]: wait, did we scare him off?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Actually, thats not fair. This is only my second... now I'm just venting...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: takes a long drawn sip of her drink
[ Kidman ]: Okay no. I will not, I can't accept that.
[ Kidman ]: it can't be that.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: You're probably right.
[ Kidman ]: This is Master we're talking about.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: But when you're someone like Carmen where else is there to go?
[ Kidman ]: Not off the ***** cliff!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: This is a woman who quit ACME because it was too easy
[ Kidman ]: So she says.
[ Kidman ]: I don't buy that either.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: The same woman who, for what 10 years, has taken whatever the ***** she wants because she can
[ Kidman ]: That I do buy.;-)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: So why should the tower be sacred?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: shakes her head
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *sits quietly on one of the couches*
[ Kidman ]: Because it's ***** ACME's!!
[ Kidman ]: That was their thing!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: So?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Everything we've taken has had an owner
[ Sarah-Nade ]: even if it was the entire world
[ Kidman ]: Again, hipocrisy, I know.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: sighs into her drink
[ Kidman ]: But seriously.
[ Kidman ]: That doesn't change the fact they are going to eat us alive.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Not all of us.
[ Kidman ]: [ Kidman ]: Okay, a good chunk.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Don't worry, Kiddo... if any of us is going to go down first... it'll probably be me.
[ Kidman ]: Oh look, a picture of ACME.
[ Kidman ]: http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa54/killjoy_025/1191312654304.gif
[Neutral Grounds]: Chase has entered at 2:26 am
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has entered at 2:26 am
[ Sarah-Nade ]: laughs, almost falling off her bar stool
[ Chase ]: ... Whoa.
[ Kidman ]: Oh thank ***** god.
[ Carmen ]: "Whoa" what?
[ Chase ]: I just came in.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: double take!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Watch the language Kiddo... thats just for when its us big girls...
[ Carmen ]: Ah, in that case, so did I.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Sarah has to watch her language around Carmen... and not smoke either.)
[ Carmen ]: Did that warrant a "whoa"?
[ Carmen ]: (Sarah still smokes?)
[ Chase ]: (Bad Sarah, bad.)
[ Kidman ]: (Uh oh.;-))
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (Carmen is such a good role model.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Not around Carmen :P )
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: You're on! Yes!
[ Chase ]: By the way... if you need to log on to chat using your phone... there's a buggy ajax version in the wors at carmensandiego.info/chat/ajax/
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Good to know
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I am, yes. I'm stil having trouble with Gmail today, but no matter.
[ Chase ]: *works
[ Sarah-Nade ]: For that thief on the go...
[ Chase ]: Exactly... wait no.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: First, hullo love.
[ Chase ]: For that [agent] on the go.
[ Chase ]: Let's be politically correct here, we're not all thieves.
[ Chase ]: Unlike at least two I could name.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Hello dear.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: How are you?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Yeah I guess ACME could count towards that mobile usage
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Quite all right, you? I haven't seen you much.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: At least two? Which one of us might not count as a thief?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Kiddo, are you changing sides?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I've been up at odd hours, and working on yet another lengthy project.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: smirks
[ Kidman ]: I'm not a thief, technically.
[ Chase ]: As far as I know, the short one hasn't stolen anything.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: We'll change that eventually
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (I've always wanted to get this chat on my iphone!)
[ Carmen ]: How 'fair' of you, Chase.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Missed you, love.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Also, trouble.
[ Chase ]: (You'll be purpetually white until we can figure out how to use colors, if that's okay)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Somehow Chase knows about Contessa.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Trouble?
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has entered at 2:32 am
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has left at 2:32 am
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Chase "knows" for sure? Or did he say things that seem like he might know?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: http://www.theseventhstarprojects.com/endings.htm
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Not sure.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Possibly not.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: However this chat does change things a bit.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Ah, no, that's a passing thought for him.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Only the beginning is relevant.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Play it 'low key' and he shouldn't suspect.
[ Carmen ]: Getting his toes wet, perhaps.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Of course.
[ Chase ]: Not surprised, Chat's been acting up.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: The thing is, you aren't the prime target anymore.
[ Chase ]: Also, it killed Synic.
[ Chase ]: looks at Synic's empty lounge.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: sips her drink
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Noooooooooo!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Thats ok... Synic's a little... creepy...
[ Carmen ]: Synic's gone?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: why!? oh for the love of pecan pie, whyyyy!?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *sobs for Synic as best he could muster*
[ Chase ]: Yeah, yesterday, she stopped responding to commands.
[ Chase ]: This morning, I tried rebooting her, but couldn't get her back online.
[ Kidman ]: gives moment of silence.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Mm, I'm not sure I ever was.
[ Carmen ]: Poor robot.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *blows nose loudly*
[ Chase ]: No need to exaggerate there, Ainsworth.
[ Chase ]: Last thing she ever said to me was "Oh, hello again."
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: So long as you know.
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs* You were rather attached to Synic, I'm sorry.
[ Chase ]: I think I was the only one who tried making her work since we started the bot program.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Although how might they attack one of our bases?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Surely they would expect us to all run.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: If we stay put, they can't possibly aim to kill.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, would you like a real mechanic to look at her?
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Chase ]: Yeah, probably about time.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'm not sure. I think Chase is more interested in putting on a show than actually doing any real damage.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Sad, so sad...
[ Chase ]: Yeah, like the remnants of something long passed... finally went with it.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Likely, but the most interesting part of all this, is that I can only speculate.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I used to know exactly what he would do.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: It's odd.
[ Carmen ]: Was that a euology?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: It is quite possible he isn't sure yet himself.
[ Carmen ]: (eulogy, pardon)
[ Chase ]: Heh, sure.
[ Chase ]: We salvaged her from the tower, you know.
[Neutral Grounds]: SwedishFish has entered at 2:45 am
[ Chase ]: Gunnar, come in.
[ SwedishFish ]: (Back to the old chat, eh?)
[ Carmen ]: Hello Mr. Svensson.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: quietly sips her drink at the mention of the tower
[ SwedishFish ]: Hej hej.
[ Chase ]: How's it going?
[ SwedishFish->Kidman ]: Your latest picture...is it supposed to be Kidman and Chase?
[ Kidman->SwedishFish ]: Yep.
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has entered at 2:47 am
[ Kidman ]: Hey Candy!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey ya
[ SwedishFish ]: Preparing for final school tasks.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: wow. people are just pouring in
[ Chase ]: Euge, nice, get in here.
[ Kidman ]: Took long enough!
[ Carmen ]: Greetings, all around.
[ EarlJr ]: so what's our topic of discussion today?
[ Carmen ]: Sarah, what are you drinking? Is it caffeinated?
[ Chase ]: Synic died.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Also, please enjoy the beginning of today's chat. http://www.theseventhstarprojects.com/sarahdrunk.htm
[ Carmen ]: Chase was the last to see her alive.
[ EarlJr ]: my deepest sympathies
[ SwedishFish ]: The robot died?
[ EarlJr ]: what, is he a suspect now?
[ Carmen ]: He's somewhat still sentimental, I wouldn't start the jokes just yet.
[ Carmen ]: In a hour, perhaps.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: We shed tears
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: had a moment of silence
[ Chase ]: It's fine.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: looked at the now empty Synic lounge...
[ Chase ]: Yesterday, she stopped responding to commands.
[ SwedishFish ]: The robot was difficult to understand than...Gingerbread...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: which can now be turned into that hot tub we wanted...
[ Chase ]: Today, I tried rebooted her, but she never came back online.
[ EarlJr ]: I have to be on the road in an hour. I need to get my jabs in while I can.
[ Chase ]: Hot tub?
[ Carmen ]: Daniel, an hour, please.
[ Carmen ]: Let the man move on when he's ready.
[ Carmen ]: Also, a sauna isn't a terrible idea.
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: *Laughs* Ah, Sarah.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: haha
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: The lady has style
[ Sarah-Nade ]: We could go all the way and hire a masseuse
[Neutral Grounds]: Nevon has entered at 2:54 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: NEVON!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: woot!
[ Kidman ]: Yeay!
[ SwedishFish ]: Hallo, Nevon.
[ Kidman ]: The puppies are together!
[ EarlJr ]: why hire? Just shanghai one of your own into doing it
[ EarlJr ]: hey Nevon
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Lee was in earlier. He say's he's going to try and show for this session.
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has left at 2:56 am
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has entered at 2:56 am
[ Kidman ]: Oh not again....
[ Chase ]: Huh.
[Neutral Grounds]: Nevon has left at 2:57 am
[ EarlJr ]: again?
[ SwedishFish ]: braces himself.
[ Kidman ]: The fork?
[ Carmen ]: I'm all right, a slight miscalculation.
[ Chase ]: Good to know you're okay.
[ Kidman ]: sits next to Carmen.
[Neutral Grounds]: Nevon has left at 2:57 am
[ Chase ]: Want some water?
[ Carmen ]: Would I like water, or would everyone like water?
[ Chase ]: Uh... everyone.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Smooth
[Neutral Grounds]: Nevon has entered at 2:59 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: He's so slick, this Boss of ours.
[ EarlJr ]: subtle
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey again Nev.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: If you didn't catch it, Lee might be in during this session.
[ Nevon ]: *saluts*
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has entered at 3:00 am
[ Nevon ]: I'm in!!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I'll, uh, keep rockin' my highball, thanks
[ SwedishFish ]: Hej, Deric.
[ DericStorm ]: hey hey hey
[ Nevon ]: Hi Deric
[ Chase ]: Nevon, Deric, come in.
[ Kidman ]: Hey loves
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Deric
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Big group
[ Nevon ]: (Dan, I'm putting up my post now)
[ Nevon ]: (You ca reply when you're ready to go get some slurpies)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (Awesome.)
[ SwedishFish ]: I must warn you, Nevon.
[ SwedishFish ]: Be so careful with Abby.
[ Chase ]: Those better be real slurpees and not code for something else... illegal.
[ Nevon ]: Not code boss, I swear. I couldn't take ice even if it was free.
[ Nevon ]: Which it isn't but if it was, I have a weak stomach for designer drugs.
[ EarlJr ]: Chase, relax
[ EarlJr ]: we've got bigger fish to fry
[ DericStorm ]: I'm hoping Abby is careful with him, Gunnar
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ SwedishFish ]: Bigger 'fish', hm?
[ Nevon ]: Gunnar: I don't think you have to worry about that, it's just sparing.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'm not sure you ever got into your mail, but if not, Roux would like to join PS.
[ SwedishFish ]: That is what I warn Nevon about.
[ SwedishFish ]: Be careful not to say any stupid.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Kerr would like you to check over our collab, though I'm not sure why he wants to end it where it is.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Yes, I did note that. Roux spoke to me quite early regarding his entrance.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Real slurpies boss.
[ SwedishFish ]: Or even funny.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ...So Gunnar relax buddy.
[ Nevon ]: I don't talk during sparing.
[ Kidman ]: Oh Candy...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: What's up with you and Abby?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I'll gladly read through the collaboration. Are you planning to post right inside Pardigm Shift?
[ SwedishFish ]: How do you mean?
[ EarlJr ]: Nothing, I should hope.
[ Nevon ]: Chase tells me I should watch moves instead, talk is only distracting.
[ DericStorm ]: you don't talk during sparring? why not?
[ Chase ]: Kid remembers what I tell him, look at that.
[ DericStorm ]: talk can be distracting to your opponent
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'm not sure. What do you think?
[ Chase ]: Talk can also be distracting to you.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'd certainly like to.
[ SwedishFish ]: (Goodness, Nevon sounds like Anja there.)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I think you should.
[ DericStorm ]: it wasn't very distracting to me when I sparred with Ivy
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I suppose I should give Kerr the honour, as it was his idea.
[ Carmen ]: Chase takes sparing much too seriously, he doesn't make a sound.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Yeah, but I don't think Nevon can pull off winking and flirting in a fight.
[ DericStorm ]: I did that specifically to get under Ivy's skin
[ Chase ]: In the field, silence is an advantage.
[ Kidman ]: wants to spar with Nevon. Has no idea how to spar.
[ DericStorm ]: make her lose her temper and make a mistake
[ Kidman ]: What is that, Monty Python logic?
[ DericStorm ]: no
[ Chase ]: When it's a life and death situation, talk is cheap.
[ SwedishFish ]: Make Abby lose her temper?
[ DericStorm ]: if she loses her temper, she loses her focus
[ SwedishFish ]: ...Idiot...
[ DericStorm ]: I was talking about Ivy, gunnar
[ EarlJr ]: save the witticisms until after your opponent is down.
[ Carmen ]: I believe Ivy was kind.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Yeah, but Ivy got you down in the end of the spar.
[ DericStorm ]: and yet i kept my dignity
[ Nevon ]: I'm going to take Chase's advice on this, because I don't know what kind of fighter Abby is.
[ SwedishFish ]: sputters
[ DericStorm ]: (come on. you can't tell me my quip when she got me down wasn't funny)
[ Nevon ]: The best I can do is watch how she fights first.
[ SwedishFish ]: (Gunnar doesn't believe that was dignified.)
[ DericStorm ]: you had a few weeks of self defense training with her, nevon
[ DericStorm ]: (i should have made the time lapse a little clear)
[ Nevon ]: With who?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I come back from the bathroom and its back to talking about flirting when we fight?
[ DericStorm ]: your classmates
[Neutral Grounds]: SwedishFish has left at 3:16 am
[ Nevon ]: Oh okay, didn't know that.
[ Chase ]: Chat's just kicking out random people today.
[ EarlJr ]: What else would we talk about Sarah?
[ Kidman ]: It was all too much for Candy.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (Yeah chat is being mean to everyone.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (he'll be back... *Mr. Burn's voice* they always come back...)
[ Chase ]: (heh heh)
[ Kidman ]: (lol)
[ Nevon ]: Deric, I don't know how to start my next post.
[Neutral Grounds]: SwedishFish has entered at 3:18 am
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Let's see...anything I forgot...
[ Nevon ]: Do I do a copost with Abby?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I dunno, it just seems like a 'everyone has their own style' thing
[ SwedishFish ]: Fy katten.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (for the record, props Deric, the sparing between you and Ivy was extremely entertaining.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: some people are really good at taking people off their game with certain words
[ Chase ]: Welcome back.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Watch for Gunnar/Anja's trigger...
[ DericStorm ]: (do you know how to make a google doc, Nev?)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Patty is currently out of the loop...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: wb gunnar!
[ DericStorm ]: (also, send her a message on-site to get the ball rolling)
[ SwedishFish ]: Ah...Tack...Danny.
[ DericStorm ]: (that was the purpose of this lesson. to get you to work with new people)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Emmesy is based off the Artemis Fowl books...
[ Carmen ]: I'd consider you one of those people, Sarah.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Eh, depends on the person...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Sometimes you just gotta skip the pleasentries and go for the knees
[ Carmen ]: Ah, of course, some ears are exceedingly good at ignoring certain words.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (and I completely spelled that wrong)
[ DericStorm ]: (we got the jist)
[ SwedishFish ]: (Abby will probably get to it later this week.)
[ DericStorm ]: knees? yikes
[ SwedishFish ]: (She's a little busy for the next couple days.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I'm not saying you break 'em... just, you know, get them off balance
[ EarlJr ]: but yeah, break them if the situation calls for it.
[ Chase ]: Knees sound almost clean for you, Sarah.
[ DericStorm ]: ok. it's just as a former football player, knees are sacred
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (and here is where I control Sarah's dirty mouth)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: sips her drink with a smirk
[ Chase ]: Appreciated.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (no problem)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (though you missed Sarah's dirty language earlier... whew!)
[ Nevon ]: OH NO, OH NO, OH NO!!
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Chase ignored my statement about Antarctica being first.
[ Nevon ]: Where's Synic??
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Oh dude, you haven't heard.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: ...do you wanna tell him or should I?
[ Carmen ]: Ah, that.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I'm so sorry man...
[ Chase ]: Right, she's gone Nev.
[ SwedishFish ]: (Do we say that Synic died in the explosion of the tower? Mikal mentioned her in a post, after all.)
[ Nevon ]: NOoooooo What do you mean Gone??
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: That's about it.
[ DericStorm ]: she rusted
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I thought I'd let Chase say it...
[ EarlJr ]: we have to work on your situational awareness Nevon.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: seeing as he's your idol and all
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: it'll hurt less
[ Nevon ]: WHAT?
[ Chase ]: Hold up, it's okay.
[ Nevon ]: You mean chat count will now be real chat count?
[ Nevon ]: And not one extra synic?
[ Nevon ]: Who's going to talk to me while I chat ghost?
[ Nevon ]: Who's going to tell me all those rumors randomly taken from the RPs?
[ Nevon ]: Who's going tell me the identity of Botmaster?
[ Nevon ]: So many questions unanswered!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: or Bot lover for that matter...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: that always confused me.
[ SwedishFish ]: (Or her alternate profession...)
[ EarlJr ]: looks like you're going to have to find a new source for rumors
[ Sarah-Nade ]: starts trying to figure out how to pirate Wrestlemania
[ Carmen ]: He's taking this rather hard.
[ DericStorm ]: wrestlemania passed
[ Chase ]: Yeah, you think?
[ DericStorm ]: (good card. my roomie streamed it)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I know, now I find it online
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I would have watched it last night but... actually no I wouldn't have.
[ Nevon ]: Was there a proper good bye to Synic?
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has entered at 3:28 am
[ Chase ]: Uh... yeah.
[ Nevon ]: Ivy! Ivy!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Miss Monaghan.
[ SwedishFish ]: Hejsan, Ivy.
[ Nevon ]: Synic's gone.
[ Ivy ]: Oh yeah I know, Chase told me.
[ DericStorm ]: hey ivy
[ Ivy ]: Hey everyone!
[ Nevon ]: What?
[ Nevon ]: Why didn't he tell me??
[ Chase ]: I...
[ Chase ]: just did.
[ Chase ]: ...above.
[ Ivy ]: Is that the topic of the day?
[ Chase ]: Not really.
[ EarlJr ]: and this would be my cue to leave
[ Nevon ]: It should be!
[ EarlJr ]: bye everyone
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Yes... and converting Synic lounge to be a hot tube and Sauna
[ SwedishFish ]: Have a good day, Kopter.
[ Carmen ]: Be well, Mr. Grovington.
[ DericStorm ]: nevo, don't make me gibbs slap you
[ Ivy ]: Later Euge.
[ Chase ]: Take care, Euge.
[ DericStorm ]: bye flyboy
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has left at 3:30 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Bye Mr. G.
[ Carmen ]: Nevon, first thing tomorrow, a real roboteer is going to have a look at Synic.
[ Nevon ]: Really?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: brb
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has left at 3:32 am
[ Chase ]: Yeah, what she said.
[ DericStorm ]: no, she's just saying that to make you feel better :rolleyes:
[ SwedishFish ]: It would be better to replace with a smarter robot.
[ Nevon ]: 8s
[ Chase ]: We'll fix Synic up, don't worry about it.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (This is a very nice side of Carmen.)
[ Chase ]: Or equivalent.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (and Chase.)
[ Ivy ]: (agreed.)
[ Nevon ]: (agreed too, but guys, I really liked Synic)
[ Chase ]: (Right, okay, don't worry, we'll work on it.)
[ Nevon ]: (Thanks!!)
[ Nevon ]: (Now I can go post)
[ Chase ]: (Paradigm?)
[ Nevon ]: (yes sir)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I'm sure he ignores much.
[ DericStorm ]: (i have a writer's block about the size of the rockies right now)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (writer's block is the worst.)
[ Kidman ]: (You try a collab with Vic and Callie? That could help)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I have another book signing set up.
[ Nevon ]: (Posted! It's nothing, but I had to put something.)
[ DericStorm ]: (timing)
[ Kidman ]: Ooh! I must go see!
[ Nevon ]: (Nev's wondering why nobody said any details on the crash yet, he's seriously worried.)
[ Ivy ]: (reading!)
[ DericStorm ]: (also i like to write out what i'm doing and then adjust it to what the others do)
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has entered at 3:39 am
[ Chase ]: (Nice one, Nevon, good you included Dan too.)
[ Ivy ]: (Great post Nev!)
[ DericStorm ]: (nice Nev)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (Always nice to be mentioned.)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Has the first one passed?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (ok back. Am I the only one pained to watch Undertaker wrestle anymore?)
[ Carmen ]: Welcome back, Sarah.
[ DericStorm ]: (no, but last night was good)
[ DericStorm ]: (though i was digging the butch lesbian haircut)
[ Carmen ]: (and I don't think I'm in the position to answer that question.)
[ Kidman ]: (Yeay! And yeay I'm friends with Nevon now!)
[ DericStorm ]: (*wasn't)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (oh no, its a good story but he always looks like he's in such pain)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (I expected short hair but not that... it looks like he let his 5 year old cut it)
[ Carmen ]: Nevon, well told for your perspective. It's good to have the opinion of someone also from the Brazil team.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Actually no. This one is set for a week before. April is autism month or some such thing, so I'm riding the wave.
[ Nevon ]: Thanks Carmen
[ SwedishFish ]: (Same here, Nevon.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Sorry I had to run out... but all that matters is I'm back
[ Nevon ]: (Thanks for reading guys!)
[ Kidman ]: is about to hug Sarah, thinks better of it.
[ Ivy ]: Quite a position Nevon has been put in.
[ Ivy ]: With the other team in Brazil and Chase and Euge too busy with the press...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Maybe another time, Kiddo...
[ Kidman ]: How neat would it be if they snuck off on their own?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Just, uh, not right now.
[ Kidman ]: Isn't there three of you?
[ Nevon ]: I don't know if I know enough to tell Dan anything.
[ Chase ]: Good boy, Blair.
[ Nevon ]: *sheepish laugh*
[ Nevon ]: He said good boy.
[ SwedishFish ]: amusedly smiles
[ Ivy ]: *rolls eyes*
[ Carmen ]: A tight ship, you run.
[ DericStorm ]: sit, Nevon, sit
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (ok, that ending was AWESOME)
[ Kidman ]: :dog:
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Ah, this year will be moving fast, best to take advantage of it.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Boss is boss.
[ SwedishFish ]: shrugs at Nevon.
[ Nevon ]: I'm a sucker for praises.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Is it just me or are Nevon and Kidman kind of... cut from the same cloth?
[ DericStorm ]: *coughs*groupies*cough*
[ Kidman ]: I'd say somewhat.
[ Kidman ]: I doubt Nevon would say half the things I do in private, though.
[ SwedishFish ]: Nevon... Watch out for her.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Oh no, I don't think he would either
[ Chase ]: I don't know, Nev's just a kid looking for guidance.
[ Kidman ]: Yes. I'm actually a zombie.
[ Ivy ]: It's like those SAT anologies...
[ Kidman ]: Storm killed me a few weeks back.
[ Ivy ]: Chase is to Carmen as Nevon is to Kidman
[ Chase ]: Kidman might be needing something... more than just a little guidance.
[ Kidman ]: (holy crap, I had a dream about that last night!)
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has left at 3:52 am
[ Chase ]: (Hate to cut this short, but I need to run)
[ Chase ]: (Thanks for the chat.)
[ Kidman ]: (SAT anologies)
[ Kidman ]: (bye Chase)
[ SwedishFish ]: Vi ses, Boss.
[ Carmen ]: Sleep well, Chase.
[ Ivy ]: Later Chase.
[ Nevon ]: Bye sir!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Later Boss!
[ Chase ]: Thanks, have a good one.
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has entered at 3:53 am
[Neutral Grounds]: Chase has left at 3:53 am
[ Kidman ]: I wonder what he meant by that...
[ DericStorm ]: (damned computer)
[ SwedishFish ]: It is the time for me to go now, also.
[ Kidman ]: Bye Candy
[ SwedishFish ]: Tack for the chat.
[ Ivy ]: 'till next time Gunnar
[ SwedishFish ]: ...Ginger.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: later Gunnar
[ Carmen ]: Be well, Mr. Svensson
[ Nevon ]: Bye gunnar!
[ DericStorm ]: bye
[ SwedishFish ]: *points at Nevon* You be careful.
[Neutral Grounds]: SwedishFish has left at 3:55 am
[ Nevon ]: I will!
[ Kidman ]: ?
[ Carmen ]: *To Kidman* What who meant by what?
[ DericStorm ]: gunnar meant for nevon to be carefuls when he spars with Abby
[ Kidman ]: What Chase meant by me needing more than guidence.
[ Nevon ]: Chase is smart, he says a lot of things that are true or are eventually true.
[ Kidman ]: But what does it mean?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I think he thinks you're too good for us
[ Carmen ]: Perhaps you should ask him.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: and that you should turn good, join ACME, eat your wheaties, takes your vidamins
[ Kidman ]: He ran off before I could.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: *vitamins
[ Kidman ]: Crafty.
[ Carmen ]: He was comparing you to Nevon's need for guidance.
[ Carmen ]: I'm sure it's nothing more than saying you need more from me than Nevon needs from him.
[ Nevon ]: See? Wise!
[ Kidman ]: Yeah...but what. He's implying something and I have a feeling I don't like it.
[ Nevon ]: What do you think he's implying?
[ Kidman ]: thinks
[ Kidman ]: There's a lot missing to me. It could be almost anything.
[ Carmen ]: Remember not to analyse this too much.
[ Kidman ]: But that it came from Chase, probably something that bothers me.
[ Carmen ]: Chase only resorts to mind games if he's cornered.
[ Nevon ]: Is he cornered now?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: No.
[ Carmen ]: I highly doubt it.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: The pressure is on but there's no corner
[ Carmen ]: If anything, he's seeking to corner us.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Yup.
[ Carmen ]: But he'll have to build a corner first, figuratively speaking.
[ Kidman ]: By insinuating that I'm an idiot.
[ Nevon ]: Are you?
[ Kidman ]: ...
[ Ivy ]: I don't think that's what he meant.
[ Kidman ]: says nothing.
[ Carmen ]: It's certainly not yet that time in the game where Chase plants canary traps.
[ Nevon ]: Canary traps?
[ Carmen ]: Ask him about it.
[ Carmen ]: I'm sure he'll entertain you.
[ Nevon ]: *notes this down*
[ Nevon ]: Will Carmen write a reaction to anything happening so far in Paradigm Shift?
[ Ivy ]: (Sorry everyone I need to run, thanks for the chat!)
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has left at 4:08 am
[Neutral Grounds]: Emmesey-Squire has entered at 4:08 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Trade off.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey there... Emmesey
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: Yo
[ Kidman ]: (Hey mate)
[ Carmen ]: Hello Mr. Squire.
[ Nevon ]: Hi!
[ Carmen ]: (Nevon, we'll need to see, I'm sure she's heard of the plane crash by now if it was shown on television.)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Will you be about tomorrow?
[ Carmen ]: (but I'm unsure if we need yet another reaction post from Carmen, there are other things to be done.)
[ Nevon ]: Gotcha
[ Nevon ]: I was in chat with Chase one time, when you posted and he was so happy.
[ Nevon ]: I think he said "Yes!" like that.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: I'll bet
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Sure sounds like Boss.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Carmen makes him happy.
[ Carmen ]: An exclaimation mark, from Chase? Mm, an honour.
[ Kidman ]: Father still cares very much for Mother....
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ....
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: hah!
[ Nevon ]: Everytime Kidman says that it weirds me out.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: I think its cute
[ Kidman ]: shrugs absently
[ Nevon ]: Doesn't it bother anyone else?
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: Not me.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: It bothers me a bit.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I'll try to make it, of course.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: But just because I hear her say it in a creepy voice in my head.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Like a cult.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Weekdays are rather difficult for me now.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Deadlines and such?
[ Carmen ]: I like to think of it in terms of unrelated figure heads.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Mm, and dinner parties.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: See there you go.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: It's an odd part of the job.
[ Kidman ]: doesn't really care what people think of her anymore.
[ Nevon ]: Chase really is like a father though.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: good for you
[ Nevon ]: I don't know how Carmen is.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: If Chase and Carmen are father and mother... does that mean ACME and VILE are sibs?
[ DericStorm ]: :weird:
[ Carmen ]: Perhaps it's best we don't go down that field.
[ Kidman ]: wishes she didn't really care what people thought of her anymore.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: truly
[ DericStorm ]: (i just realized ACME's outnumbered here)
[ Nevon ]: Chase should come back, we'd be even
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: if numbers actually meant anything.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: So it goes.
[ DericStorm ]: numbers never lie
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: it's a numbers game!
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: yeah they do.
[ Nevon ]: ACME like numbers
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has left at 4:18 am
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has entered at 4:18 am
[ Nevon ]: Even!
[ Nevon ]: Aww
[ Nevon ]: Hi Sarah
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Hey Nev
[ Kidman ]: Master and Chase count as five, remember...
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs*
[ Nevon ]: Wow, then we're so outnumbered.
[ Nevon ]: That reminds me of what I was going to ask... Carmen!
[ Nevon ]: Was Chase a good detective when he was younger?
[ Carmen ]: I only knew him for 9 months, barely. But yes, I'd consider him good at what he was told to do.
[ Kidman ]: smiles despite herself.
[ Nevon ]: He followed instructions?
[ DericStorm ]: he was a soldier, Nevon
[ DericStorm ]: a marine
[ Carmen ]: We all do. Infiltrate this, gather that.
[ Carmen ]: Ah, his soldier side of things were extremely useful.
[ DericStorm ]: don't hit this informant.... oops
[ Carmen ]: Mm, and yes, no hitting the help.
[ DericStorm ]: does Lee really count as "help"?
[ Nevon ]: How was the soldier part useful?
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: Assassinate this frame that.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I drew a little picture of Chase and Kidman.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: *Laughs* did you?
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: ever heard of follow the leader?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: http://carmensandiego.info/photo/gallery/The-space-between-them-
[ Carmen ]: In terms of missions, Nevon, he often had some odd tactical insight that would otherwise have been overlooked by only spy cells.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Wow
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: It must have been awesome in those days
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: This harbors a solemn but beautiful tone.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I'm not sure I can consider placing words to it.
[ Carmen ]: It was certainly lovely to have a partner who could help support a climb.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: could he disarm a bomb?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: It was always the picture I had in my head for those...sessions.
[ Carmen ]: Something odd about Chase, his hands were always very still.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *checks own hands*
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: that is odd
[ Carmen ]: He could diffuse normal range explosives, but we would need a bomb squad for more complex electronic switches.
[ Nevon ]: Did you get to stay in exotic places together?
[ DericStorm ]: more and more, Chase is reminding me of Jeremy Renner's character in "The Hurt Locker"
[ Carmen ]: Our operations rarely took place in the day.
[ Carmen ]: (I enjoyed that movie, and yes.)
[ Nevon ]: (That movie was tense)
[ Nevon ]: (I still can't believe it's from the same studio that did Twilight)
[ Nevon ]: So you never did it James Bond style?
[ Carmen ]: Did what, precisely?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Now I see it as well.
[ Nevon ]: Cases
[ Carmen ]: I never did "cases" with Chase. We had "operations" where there was an objective and, once completed, we had to leave the area quickly.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (shows how much of a difference a script and director can make!)
[ Kidman ]: That does sound rather...boring.
[ Carmen ]: Doesn't it?
[ Kidman ]: One could say you were an actor that wanted to direct.
[ Kidman ]: I mean, that's what I basically do, but it suits me.
[ Carmen ]: In that case, the director must already exist in the actor.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Who were your other partners?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Or was it just you and Chase on operations?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: There was that Jules girl... creepy stalker that she was...
[ DericStorm ]: suhara
[ Carmen ]: For the normal "international cases" I was formerly partnered with Suhara... and yes, Jules.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Will you be able to get into the google doc?
[ Carmen ]: Chase and I were not officially partners, we were operatives.
[ Nevon ]: So what you do with Chase is completely different than what ACME does today?
[ Carmen ]: ACME still has operatives, as far as I know.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: You know considering how often I've been dressing up lately you'd think I would think the whole actor/director comparison would feel natural to me... but ironicallly I never think of this as acting...
[ DericStorm ]: starts humming "Secret Agent Man"
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: If you send me think link, I'm sure I can.
[ Kidman ]: That's because at your level, you direct too, Sarah.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Me? Nah, I don't direct anything... I just do what needs to be done
[ Nevon ]: What are operatives?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I'm uh... whats it called... key grip or somethin'?
[ Carmen ]: Sarah is exceptional at what she does.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Thanks, Carmen, I like to think so
[ Carmen ]: An operative is very much like a detective, but with less crime solving.
[ Carmen ]: Operatives manipulate.
[ Carmen ]: Push, surreptitiously, until an answer appears.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mAAFTcyU0gKJDD7iDyYisZPBtoVFEG1zN2Yef_ZwpfU
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Do let me know if that works.
[ Carmen ]: Detectives gather information, compare, and analyse... until something is solved.
[ Kidman ]: I really can't see why you took that job.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: maybe that's why she left.
[ Carmen ]: Why I decided to play operative?
[ Kidman ]: nods
[ Carmen ]: I suppose it's power.
[ Carmen ]: And the complete lack of it.
[ Carmen ]: Infiltration requires artistry, and as long as you're not discovered, the world is yours.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: That's a good answer.
[ Carmen ]: If someone finds you, of course, you're in a world of trouble.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: yup
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: It linked me to an untitled document?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Ah, now it works.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Carmen is wise...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: like Boss.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: which is why you should always cary some Stun Grenades
[ Sarah-Nade ]: or know the number of a good lawyer
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: that too.
[ Carmen ]: Or have someone you can count on to get you out.
[ Carmen ]: Although, that's rare.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Oh good.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: true but not impossible.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I feel so out numbered by VILE here..
[ Sarah-Nade ]: true, but a good thing to remember is, even if we are only thieves, treat others how you want to be treated
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Deric?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Nevon?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Where are you???
[ Nevon ]: I'm here!
[ Nevon ]: I'm just taking in all she's saying.
[ Nevon ]: It's a side of Chase I couldn't even conceive of
[ Nevon ]: until now
[ Sarah-Nade ]: So next time I end up in Siberia I would hope someone does for me what I'm about to do for Vic
[ Kidman ]: thinks it's good for the children to get to know Mother.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: Children?!
[ Carmen ]: Sarah, I'll make sure of it.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Thanks, Carmen
[ Kidman ]: Nevon and DA, of course.
[ Carmen ]: I hope you don't mind if it's Contessa?
[ Carmen ]: She has somewhat of a grip in that area of the world.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: visibly grits her teeth
[ DericStorm ]: (working)
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: Oh send me!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: As long as she promises to leave that arrow quiver of hers back at the castle
[ DericStorm ]: (actually gtg. back on later)
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has left at 4:55 am
[ Kidman ]: I take it you don't like her?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I... I don't know her well enough to dislike her.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Oh... so there's some tension between Sarah and the Countess?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I just don't want an arrow in the ass
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I've had that happen before... it sucks.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: I can attest to that.
[ Kidman ]: Does this happen often...?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: arrows in the ass is a common thing?
[ Carmen ]: Contessa has been given clear instructions that her weapons are to be kept.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Oh no. But you only need it to happen once to remember it FOREVER
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: That is good to know.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (For some reason I see Sarah's more 'blue collar' roots having issues with Contessa's 'blue blood' ideals)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (though I could be wrong)
[ Carmen ]: (Which is very logical)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (she only knows her by reputation so far)
[ Carmen ]: (But I'm sure Sarah also has her fun side.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (oh I think they can meet in certain areas)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Contessa's very 'yay women' which Sarah can get behind)
[ Carmen ]: (A side that could over look up-bringing for a while.)
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has left at 5:00 am
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has entered at 5:00 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (I have nothing in common with Contessa.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (well she is vrey beautiful)
[ Kidman ]: (like DA)
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: Is Contessa new?
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs*
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Yeah, she's pretty new
[ Carmen ]: Ah, yes, she's a 'recent' entrant.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: then again compared to everyone I'm ancient so everyone's 'new' to me
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Well done, I approve.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: It ended with a good question as well.
[ Carmen ]: "Ancient," in terms of having been through much of it.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: It works?
[ Carmen ]: Of course, there was a brief time when you didn't quite like how it was going.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Dang, was hoping to get an answer to that.;-)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: takes a sip of her drink
[ Sarah-Nade ]: shrugs
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Can't agree all the time.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: *Laughs* Joe needs his mystique.
[ Kidman ]: What happened?
[ Nevon ]: *takes notes*
[ Sarah-Nade ]: is silent for a moment
[ Sarah-Nade ]: ...Carmen and I are both very... strong willed.
[ Carmen ]: smiles
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Remember that whole 'actor/director' thing?
[ Carmen ]: Mm.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Does he always have his mask on?
[ Carmen ]: I'll willingly take the blame for this one.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I doubt so.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: pauses
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Ehh... it wasn't just you, you know that
[ Carmen ]: There was a time I was rather... cold, I know that's hard to imagine, but do try.
[ Kidman ]: sits a little closer to Carmen.
[ Emmesey-Squire ]: oh please do go on.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I was wondering if he had a Roux thing going on as well.
[ Carmen ]: Sarah had other ideas, yes?
[ Carmen ]: She left, and I agreed.
[Neutral Grounds]: Nevon has left at 5:10 am
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: You may need to ask him.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: He may have changed his character slightly since we last spoke.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: *nods*
[ Carmen ]: We never quite spoke about it, but we remained on good terms.
[ Carmen ]: I suppose?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Flag seems interested in another collab
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (sorry, had to take care of something)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: And we need a safe way to introduce Emmesey.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Oh yeah, absolutely.
[ Carmen ]: Sarah needed help, and I was her bail.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ...Did nev just get kicked out.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ?
[ Carmen ]: Yes, poor boy, I'm sure he'll be back when he can.
[ Kidman ]: Poor Nev.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Anyway, when push came to shove Carmen had my back, and I have hers.
[ Carmen ]: I like the way you said that.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Is he heading to Antarctica?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: shrugs and sips her drink again
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I think he can
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: That may be the best way to introduce him.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Maybe some day, when I feel more open to it I might explain further, Kidman, for right now lets just leave it at the short version
[ Kidman ]: loves Aunti Sarah.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I'll speak to you more on this tomorrow, perhaps?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Avery needs to be played with before bed. :)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Yes please!
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Have fun, love
[ Carmen ]: You might also consider giving Kidman piano lessons.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'll talk to Emmesey and Kerr
[ Kidman ]: ...I would like that.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I have to run for a sec. Night!
[ Carmen ]: (I'm off tonight, much thanks for this chat.)
[ Kidman ]: (brb)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (alright, night Pru!)
[ Carmen ]: (Do take care, everyone.)
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has left at 5:19 am
[ Sarah-Nade ]: smiles into her glass, a little happier about that idea than expected before coughing and taking another sip
[Neutral Grounds]: Emmesey-Squire has left at 5:21 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Man I should head out too
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Later Everyone!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Later, DA
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has left at 5:22 am
[ Kidman ]: Of course, everyone leaves
[ Kidman ]: Crap, and I needed to talk to MC
[ Kidman ]: Well, posted the collab Kerr and I were doing is PS.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: cool
[ Kidman ]: Well, I'm off, love. Cheers!
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has left at 6:20 am
