[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has entered at 11:08 am
[ Kidman ]: No. Way.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Uh, hey
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I heard someone was looking for me?
[ Kidman ]: You're a legend!
[ Kidman ]: I sent you a message way back. Could have been me.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Huh. Not many people say that anymore...
[ Kidman ]: (How you doing?)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Doing ok, sorry I took so long to get back to you, I'm usually better than that)
[ Kidman ]: (Pru told me you had stuff. It's okay <3)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (good, I'm glad I have people to help cover my shortcomings... :) )
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Sarah's a little rude, by the way, but she's not a bad person so don't take offense)
[ Kidman ]: (Doesn't matter.:-))
[ Kidman ]: (Are you back?)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (I think so? I have a bad track record for the year so I'm still trying to not be a flake...)
[ Kidman ]: (Your mother was sick, yes?)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Grandmother had a bad stroke, she's coming back bit by bit)
[ Kidman ]: (*nods* Take all the time you need. :-))
[ Kidman ]: Awww man!
[ Kidman ]: Dude, awesome. I seriously need backup in here.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: *yawns and winces* Easy there, kiddo... its not even noon and I have a killer hangover...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Lots of ACME lately?
[ Kidman ]: Too many ACMEs.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I swear, they breed like fruit flies... well not literally breed
[ Sarah-Nade ]: So you're new VILE, huh? Whats your story?
[ Kidman ]: Generally we have Deric, Euge, Chase, Scarlet, Gunnar, Ivy, and then sometimes others.
[ Kidman ]: ...not new, really.
[ Kidman ]: Actually been around for a while as a grunt.
[ Kidman ]: I liked being a grunt, but Master seems to have other plans.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: *shrugs* I'll give you that... but I've been here since 1985 so everyone is new to me
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (actually that date is modified for this RP but you get the point)
[ Kidman ]: Ten more than me. Though I'm not sure how time works here.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Yeaaah... once you start messing with time your years get a little off...
[ Kidman ]: (Been writing Kidman since 1995. I have no idea how that works here.;-))
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (its ok, Carmen has been a character since 1982 and yet she's only in her mid 30s)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (and Sarah was created in 1985 or so)
[ Kidman ]: (Majick!)
[ Kidman ]: I'm glad you're back. Things have gotten...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (exactly... I've been playing a detective for 5 years at least, she's only aged 2, its just magic.)
[ Kidman ]: ...well...not good.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: How not good is 'not good'?
[ Kidman ]: I don't know how much I can say, but Master stole the damn ACME tower.
[ Kidman ]: ACME is not pleased.
[ Kidman ]: Reeeeeallly not pleased.
[ Kidman ]: Also...Vic might be dead....
[ Kidman ]: :-(
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Ah, yeah, that thing. ACME... *pauses and thinks* ACME is like a spoiled child. They like to play the game until someone does something they take personally and then they take their ball and bat and go home... and come back with a gun.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: ...Vic? As in 'The Slick'? As in 'Can get out of anything'?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Seriously?
[ Kidman ]: We don't know for sure. The ACMEs had him in a plane and it went down.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: [Expletive]
[ Kidman ]: No one's here. *****
[ Kidman ]: Awww...
[ Kidman ]: We can't swear?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (yeah, this room just gives stars)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Nope. Ain't it a kick in the dick?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (awkward... I thought it would censor that...)
[ Kidman ]: Dude, I said ' ***** ' in here once and everyone freaked out.
[ Kidman ]: SERIOUS?
[ Kidman ]: pen is?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: ahh
[ Sarah-Nade ]: yeah, ACME doesn't like playing the 'pen15' game
[ Kidman ]: That's a legitimate word!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: but apparently dick is ok
[ Sarah-Nade ]: there we go
[ Kidman ]: I have said that a few times, yes.
[ Kidman ]: The hell is everyone?
[ Kidman ]: Oh, and Lee wants to kill Master, but that's just Lee.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (sorry, I'm at the office so I keep getting distracted with work but I promise I'm around)
[Neutral Grounds]: Vic-the-Slick has entered at 11:39 am
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Vic!
[ Kidman ]: Yyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssss

[Neutral Grounds]: Anja_Larsdotter has entered at 11:40 am
[ Kidman ]: :roll:
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Saw your lightbulb on, was hopin I'd see ya
[ Kidman ]: Pile of VILEs!
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei hei! It as all team VILE!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Everybody read D'vineaux's post?
[ Kidman ]: Come at me, Storm!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Rumor had it you could be dead... I figured as long as the polyester didn't wrinkle you'd be ok!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Not yet, just got back)
[ Kidman ]: So far as well know for the mo' he could be dead.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: You talk to that ACME Playboy about my well bein'
[ Kidman ]: Now if we could only get Master in here...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I thought it was some idea Deric and Cali came up with, but nope, the whole plane crash came all da way from da top.
[ Kidman ]: Ducati!!!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Why you screaming Kidd?
[ Kidman ]: Because that usually works.
[ Kidman ]: (Seriously, like, three times)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Ya gotta save me, Sarh
[ Kidman ]: (It's scary)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She comes in when you yell Ducati?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (I'm thinking of switching to Sarah full time and giving ACME a rest for a bit, does Vic need a rescue?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: )
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: thinks
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Ducati! Ducati!
[ Kidman ]: Ducati!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Looks like I'll have to make a rescue then...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: (Yeah, we might need some full time VILEs runnin around, I'm trapped by ACME.)
[ Kidman ]: Damn....
[ Kidman ]: (And chat backup. They kill me in here)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (No chance of that today, it looks.)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Too many ACME kids meddling in chat?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Chase should be in soonish)
[Neutral Grounds]: Chase has entered at 11:45 am
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Well you know how it is... everyone likes to be a goodie-goodie
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei Mr. Chase!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Speak of the devil, IC or OOC...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Playboy!
[ Kidman ]: Look Chase, VILEs!
[ Chase ]: I take it somebody said my name?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Kill him!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: i mean
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: rushes in front of Chase.
[ Kidman ]: Sarah did it.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: We all did, Devy, we all did.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Nei!
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: No killing!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Its ok Anja, no one'll kill him
[ Sarah-Nade ]: this is neutral territory
[ Kidman ]: That's right. Only ACME does killing.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Was just joking, that word's getting thrown around a lot lately, ah?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: ACME does kill?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Chase I have a question...)
[ Chase ]: *Nods* Vic, how's the jungle?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: I trust not so.
[ Chase ]: (Anytime, Sarah.)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: *Pats Anja on the head* You a cute kid, good kid. Killing is bad.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (I'm thinking of switching to Sarah full time for a bit and let Mayhem have a time out. Any chance that thread I started could be killed?)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: It is so. *hugs Vic*
[ Chase ]: (Yes, I'll tell Josh and Roux, no problem.)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: *hugs Anja back*
[ Kidman ]: (A Sarah/Roux/Lee thread??)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: That's how you hug, D'vineaux.
[Neutral Grounds]: Zack has entered at 11:49 am
[ Chase ]: Noted, Fumigalli.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hallo!
[ Chase ]: Zack, come in.
[ Zack ]: Hey all!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Another ACME, Bah!
[ Kidman ]: Chase hugged me once.
[ Zack ]: Oh hush up Vic.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Would you hug me, Mr. Chase?
[ Kidman ]: Unusual crowd today.
[ Chase ]: Hug? Uh... sure, but no poking, right?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: That's what ya gotta do, Anja, ya put the man on the spot.
[ Kidman ]: Awwww :heart:
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Jaja! No poking! I promise you!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Works even faster if Carmen's in here.
[ Kidman ]: Wherefor art thou, Master?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (brb)
[ Chase ]: (take your time)
[ Kidman ]: Lee wants to be the new field director.
[ Zack ]: Over my dead body...
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: grins and folds her hands in anticipation.
[ Kidman ]: I know, right? So cute.
[ Chase ]: Right *pats his leg* come here, Anja.
[ Zack ]: Since when did Anja become a dog?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: walks over to Chase.
[ Chase ]: properly hugs Anja.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: ...
[ Chase ]: There you go.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: That was awkward.
[ Chase ]: Now, go have orange juice.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Moro! *lightly hugs Chase*
[ Zack ]: You're telling me Sarah...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: ha hah
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: hurries to fetch orange jucie for everyone*
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: At least he tried.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Y'all should have seen him a week or so ago.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: How so?
[ Chase ]: Let's not go there.
[ Kidman ]: When he was drunk?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Little girl here went to give him a tiara and he moved away like she'd pulled a cross to a vampire.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *gasp* A jukeboks!
[ Chase ]: I wasn't drunk.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: You are so silly so, Mr. Slick - calling me as a 'little girl'.
[ Kidman ]: Less than sober, then.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: I am 20 years.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: 20's still little to me, Ima 40 over
[ Kidman ]: Ooh, Sarah has to meet Contessa
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: hums a tune as she hands out orange juice to everyone.
[ Chase ]: (Right, carmensandiego.info/contessa - new canon)
[ Chase ]: Thanks, Anja
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Ooh my...)
[ Kidman ]: We use her to creep out ACME
[ Kidman ]: It's fun!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: (She's a friend o' mine, teaching special needs kids in Devon)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (I LOVE her profile!)
[ Kidman ]: (She decide if she's entering PS?)
[ Zack ]: (Yeah, she's soooo cool)
[ Kidman ]: (sarcasm?)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: (Yea, she's got a post comin')
[ Kidman ]: (Sweet.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (I look forward to meeting her)
[ Kidman ]: (Roux wants in too.)
[ Zack ]: (brb, glasses broke- doing some emergency repairs)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: But she'll mostly be working independant like I did during Blue Moon
[ Kidman ]: (I look forward to watching you meet her)
[ Chase ]: Nice to see VILE's moving a bit.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Oh, Chase - Thanks for the input in our RP.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (thats fine, is she playing one of 'Carmen's old friends' or are we playing her as new?)
[ Chase ]: Your boss has been tight-lipped about her plans.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: (She's brand new, ain't got nutting to do with the old Contessa except name)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (ok, good to know)
[ Kidman ]: (Chase, people been loving your post.:-))
[ Chase ]: (Yeah, when she sent me her profile to draw from... first thing she said was don't look at the contessa from the games.)
[ Chase ]: (Anja -- no problem, let me know if I can help add it into Paradigm)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (well Contessa has been a constantly changing character anyway)
[ Kidman ]: (Dude, would you draw me?)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (it makes more sense for her to be brand new)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: (Ageeeeed! Loving Chase's post)
[ Chase ]: (Kidman, I'll email you on that.)
[ Kidman ]: (:-))
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: (Did you write Tanya's parts for her too?)
[ Chase ]: (I wrote a rough for Tanya, but she edited nearly everything.)
[ Chase ]: (Thanks for endorsement on the post, heh, means a lot.)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: He's a man's man, this one.
[ Chase ]: I... wouldn't go that far.
[ Kidman ]: Can you be a mans man and a ladies man?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Look at me, I'm Chase. *raises hand* silence, people, be silent, I'm talking.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Oh, that is not so nice, Mr. Slick.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I kid, I kid.
[ Kidman ]: I am also Kid.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Kidd, you can be a man's man and a ladies man all at the same time.
[ Kidman ]: Vic, why you no friend me?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Though I'd worry 'bout his health
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I no friend you?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I no logged in tis why
[ Zack ]: (back)
[ Chase ]: Welcome back, Zack.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: New rhyme!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: back, zack
[ Zack ]: (*grumbles about how glasses suck*)
[ Kidman ]: Mystery solved!
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: sneezes.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: It is all too dusty here! I must clean.
[ Kidman ]: wishes it was summer.
[ Chase ]: Clean?
[ Zack ]: While you're at it, can you give Lenscrafter;s a call and threaten them to speed up my glasses?
[ Kidman ]: 8-)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: begins to sweep the floors around the pool table.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: 'Ey Kidd, I no got invite from you
[ Kidman ]: (Holy crap, the wind outside is insane!)
[ Kidman ]: Really? Hold on....
[ Chase ]: Uh... you're already on eachother's lists.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Another mystery solved by D'vineaux!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Whadayaknow?
[ Kidman ]: Gasp!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: 'Ey Sarh, take a picture with me 'n' this here detective, ah?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: goes stand next to Chase.
[ Zack ]: facepalms
[ Chase ]: moves away
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: You're too tall, come down a bit
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Aww Devy
[ Sarah-Nade ]: its just a pic... *pulls out her blackberry*
[ Kidman ]: Oh come on, Chase. You had him thrown out of a plane.
[ Chase ]: Really, no thanks necessary.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: moves closer and grins
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Cheese!!!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: *smaps the pic quickly*
[ Sarah-Nade ]: *snape
[ Sarah-Nade ]: *snaps
[ Chase ]: (heh)
[ Kidman ]: *voldemort
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I have got to stop trying to wake up before noon. Its no good for my head.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Lemme see!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: looks at Sarah's Blackberry
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Ha hah!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: It's like taking a pic with one of those statues in a wax museum.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: lol
[ Kidman ]: (lol)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Gotta keep this, Sarh, it'll be valuable.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: He's not Field Director anymore, donchaknow?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: He's Director of Operations and whut now.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Big man
[ Chase ]: Right... thanks.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Oh ho ho? Nice to know
[ Kidman ]: Did the board know you were going to blow up the tower?
[ Chase ]: Yeah, they knew the structure wasn't sound.
[ Chase ]: Blowing it up needed a lot more cooperation than it might have looked.
[ Kidman ]: nods
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: So you got this promotion because of that?
[ Chase ]: No, it was probably a combination of my ability to cover things up... and a video made by a concerned co-worker.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Rheeheeheeeeheeeelly?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Well nothing for nothing but people'll be talking more about that video than other things... keep attention off the man behind the curtain and all that
[ Kidman ]: Sometimes it is an act of heartfelt loyalty that saves the day.
[ Chase ]: And with this promotion, that video would be 'proven' false.
[ Chase ]: It's media tactics.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Hey, everyone loves a scandal
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: You get the promotion, what does your friend get for loyalty?
[ Kidman ]: She saved your ass, Chase.
[ Kidman ]: You know who else saved your ass?
[ Kidman ]: Lee.;-)
[ Chase ]: She has my thanks, and what she's receiving won't be discussed here.
[ Chase ]: Lee did his part out of spite.
[ Kidman ]: Hilarious, right?
[ Chase ]: It's the thought behind the action that counts.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: It is a surprise?
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has entered at 12:23 pm
[ Chase ]: Ivy, come in.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hallo, Ivy!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Another ACME, bah!
[ Ivy ]: Hey everyone.
[ Kidman ]: I know, but if he hadn't, there would have been no media to refute.
[ Ivy ]: Nice to see you too, Vic.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Too bad Lee has to be so 'kill Carmen'. He's kinda cute for a sociopath
[ Kidman ]: Hey Ivy.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Hey Ivy
[ Kidman ]: He's fun to mess with.
[ Chase ]: Anja -- not so much a surprise for Elanor, she knows her loyalty means a lot.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: cringes at 'sociopath'.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Lee's nuts!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Plus his daddy issues with Chase ain't rubbing off nice.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I know that, I'm just saying he's attractive and nuts
[ Kidman ]: Hell hath no fury like a Lee scorned.
[ Chase ]: Uh... let's not discuss Lee's 'issues'.
[ Ivy ]: Sounds just like your type, Sarah.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Don't like that he looks up to ya, D'vineaux?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I'd be careful too.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: The last person he looked up to ended up on the top of his 'kill list'
[ Chase ]: Which is really who you should be focusing on.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Carmen?
[ Chase ]: Carmen.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Nah he's not my type... I just like to window shop
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Using that logic Devy's my type too but he's off limits
[ Sarah-Nade ]: No touching the floor model and all that
[ Kidman ]: Lol
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Ha hahah!
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Which is the floor model?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: shoots Chase a bit smile and a kiss in the air
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I gotta dare Sarh one o'these days to pinch him.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: looks under her feet.
[ Kidman ]: Poor Chase.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Pffft, I'd rather not end up in traction, thanks
[ Zack ]: just observes
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Marines are hot but are REALLY hard to take in a fight
[ Chase ]: chuckles
[ Kidman ]: observes Zack observing.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Gotta say, in a fist fight, I'd last about 3 seconds.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Against Sarah
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: So with D'vineaux, maybe 2.5 seconds.
[ Chase ]: Don't sell yourself short, Vic, you can run.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Aww Vic I'd never hit you... again... *pats him on the head*
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Yeah, he can.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Thanks Sarh, your words mean so much to my jaws.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: For what its worth your jaw bruised my hand...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: But that was a long time ago
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: *nods* Good times, ah?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (ok, maybe I should ask before writing that)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: (nah, I roll, it's all good)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (hope I'm not stepping on your toes)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (thanks :) )
[ Chase ]: Almost touching.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I know, right?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: We're like family in VILE
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: We're thick as thieves, don't you know it
[ Sarah-Nade ]: well considering we ARE thieves its appropriate
[ Kidman ]: Mother is good to us.
[ Chase ]: What happens when your boss gets arrested?
[ Chase ]: Every man for himself, or do you have a contingency plan?
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has entered at 12:33 pm
[ Kidman ]: We break her out?
[ Ivy ]: interesting question.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Nonsense!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Thats a bit of a trade secret
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Carmen'll never get arrested!
[ Kidman ]: Hey Euge
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: You'll have t' go through each and every one of us first.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei, Eugene!
[ EarlJr ]: that's it, stick with the party line
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Ey pilot
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (do we know where the plane went down?)
[ Chase ]: (ACME knows, VILE doesn't.)
[ Kidman ]: loves Vic so very much.
[ Chase ]: And Vic, going through each of you... can be arranged.
[ Chase ]: You're already down.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Stop picking on the poor guy, would you?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: threatens to poke Chase.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: He's crashed somewhere
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Yeah, cowboy, don't pick on me, or you'll get poked.
[ Kidman ]: Vic, you must feel so honoured that they'd crash a plane to keep you out of circulation.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Honored as heck!
[ Ivy ]: It's a first step.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I gotta warn Carmen they're playin' dirty.
[ Chase ]: Warn her.
[ Chase ]: Please.
[ EarlJr ]: you have fun with that
[ Kidman ]: gets mock serious.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Carmen'll lay low... its my job to play rescue
[ Kidman ]: We are not so different, you and I.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Don't think I wouldn't try break out, ACME kids.
[ Kidman ]: offers Chase Tranya.
[ EarlJr ]: oh, I have faith you will Vic
[ Chase ]: You mean Tanya?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Yeah, don't you doubt.
[ Kidman ]: ...?
[ Chase ]: (Sorry, KIdman, you lost me.)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: *To Sarh* If I get a signal to ya, you'll get me out, ah?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Of course Vic
[ Chase ]: (I think Sarah's in Brazil, maybe start a short one by writing her in... since news of the plane crash already made headlines.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (I was thinking just that, I hadn't even considered news headlines)
[ Chase ]: (Yeah, we made this one real easy to hear about.)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: (Gotta admit, it's ACME here, they've got a PR person)
[ Kidman ]: (from star trek)
[ Kidman ]: I warned you, Vic!
[ Kidman ]: I warned you not to go!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (so they're trying to draw Carmen out by telling people?)
[ Kidman ]: *dramatic*
[ Chase ]: (That would explain it, Kidman, I've never watched Startrek)
[ Kidman ]: (I don't think ACME really wanted it known)
[ Chase ]: (Sarah -- If by 'They' you mean us... then yes.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (ahh ok, gotcha)
[ Chase ]: (We want to make it public, but not to actually draw Carmen out.)
[ Chase ]: (We care more about VILE at this point... not your leader.)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Should I be scared?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: That last bit d'vineaux said gave me goose pimples.
[ Kidman ]: See how loved you are, Vic?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (right... lovely to be walking into a trap)
[ EarlJr ]: *deadpan* terrified
[ Kidman ]: looks at Chase, says nothing.
[ Chase ]: It's all for Vic, you know.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Ima so happy I could cry
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I told you Kidman... dealing with ACME is like playing with a spoiled child
[ Zack ]: (brb)
[ Chase ]: *scoffs* What?
[ Kidman ]: just sighs.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Its all fun and games until you hurt their feelings... then they take their bat and ball and go home... and come back with a gun.
[ EarlJr ]: chuckles
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Only would Eugene shoot.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: True that!
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Mr. Chase told to me that he not uses guns.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Then they make my plane crash.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Y' don't need guns t' kill peeps, Anja
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Or people?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: shivers.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: brb
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: If he wants to, I think Chase coulda done a lot worse than Euge there.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Bombs kill folk also.
[ Ivy ]: ACME isn't shooting anyone.
[ Chase ]: Thanks, Ivy.
[ EarlJr ]: You wound me Vic.
[ Chase ]: She's right, ACME's not shooting anyone.
[ Kidman ]: There's always kicking.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Bombs too, ah?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: And punchin'
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has entered at 12:50 pm
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Yet another ACME, bah!
[ Ivy ]: Don't tell me they don't train you to defend yourself in VILE.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Anders Breivik, he did that.
[ Kidman ]: Hey Stormy.
[ Chase ]: Storm, come in.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hallo, Mr. Detective.
[ DericStorm ]: (wow, bunch of different people today)
[ Ivy ]: Hey Deric.
[ DericStorm ]: hi everybody
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Most of us come previously trained
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Its usually more about learning to steal REALLY big things
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: We're mostly non violent, Ivy.
[ EarlJr ]: heh
[ Sarah-Nade ]: You haven't lived until you've taken Graceland without 100 Elvis Impersonators catching you
[ Sarah-Nade ]: They're like fat sparkly ninjas
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Or go for a ride in the Batmobile without 100 men in tights running after ya.
[ Zack ]: (I've returned...)
[ Chase ]: Right... irrelevant.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Oh god, Comicon
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I'd forgotten about that
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Good times, ah?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Good times.
[ Zack ]: Oh Comicon, how I want to go
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Hell yeah good times!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I totally got Adam West to sign my thigh
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Chase, y'gotta lighten up a wee bit.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: closes her ears at Sarah's shouting.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: So Carmen steals the tower, so what?
[ Kidman ]: winces
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Everybody's still alive, ah?
[ EarlJr ]: we start the same song and dance all over again. That's what.
[ Chase ]: I'm not that much of an optimist, Vic.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: But its such a lovely musical number
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Don't be a hater.
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Kidman ]: ...
[ EarlJr ]: Don't ever say that again. It doesn't belong to your generation.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Haters Gonna Hate, Vic.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: *troll face*
[ Kidman ]: (lol)
[ Kidman ]: (LOL)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Y'gotta live a little, being ACME's posterboy got you in some kinda knot
[ Chase ]: Can you believe this guy?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Godhet! It is the time for supper!
[ Kidman ]: stares at ceiling.
[ Chase ]: Fresh out of a plane crash and still talking.
[ Chase ]: (Leaving, Anja?)
[ EarlJr ]: we should do something about that.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Yeah.)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: runs over to Chase to give him a fist-bump.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (It was good to see you, Anja!)
[ EarlJr ]: Enjoy dinner.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (You too. :))
[ Kidman ]: Bye love.
[ Chase ]: *Chuckles* Take care.
[ DericStorm ]: bye
[ Chase ]: Uh... *fist-bump*
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Ok ACME knows where the plane crashed, do the papers know?)
[ Ivy ]: later Anja
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei da, all! Slap it on!
[ Kidman ]: (Weren't there videos?)
[ Chase ]: (The papers know, there's video footage of the crash)
[Neutral Grounds]: Anja_Larsdotter has left at 1:00 pm
[ DericStorm ]: (who says ACME knows where it crashed?)
[ EarlJr ]: (generally, but they're light on details)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: (Chase's latest post)
[ Kidman ]: (so...couldn't we just figure it out from the video?)
[ Zack ]: (so who does get to know the deets?)
[ Chase ]: (Why would we crash a plane at the spot we're keeping Vic?)
[ Kidman ]: (Oh. right)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (He was on the plane, the plane crashed... so it would be a start, no?)
[ Chase ]: (It's a decent start.)
[ EarlJr ]: (good jumping off point)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (ok, good to know)
[ Kidman ]: (heh. Jumping off point)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Its time to go all Bruce Willis on this situation...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: and by that I mean go bald and talk to Alan Rickman... which doesn't help much...
[ Kidman ]: But it would be fun.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Ha hahah!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Wait, why am I laughin' I'm stuck in the jungle still.
[ Chase ]: Funny, right?
[ EarlJr ]: (For the sake of whatever post you have coming, the crash site is in the Darien Gap region, on the Panama/Colombia boarder)
[ Chase ]: (Euge here is the official man in charge of the Panama part of Paradigm Shift.)
[ Kidman ]: (Sounds like a nice, safe place)
[ EarlJr ]: (I don't like being in charge. The power goes to my head and I yell at my underlings too much)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I can't even find a place like that on a map without Carmen pinning it for me.
[ Chase ]: Euge -- then your underlings here better get used to it.
[ Chase ]: Vic -- then you're in luck, we just pin-pointed it for you.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Bah
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I can survive a jungle
[ Kidman ]: Do you think Euge would be a good FD?
[ EarlJr ]: recoils in fear
[ Kidman ]: Even if he yells at everyone.
[ Kidman ]: :weird:
[ Chase ]: Doesn't matter what I think. It's what Euge and the ACME board thinks that counts.
[ Kidman ]: How about you, Ivy?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Y'mean somebody has to be field director after Chase gets promoted?
[ Ivy ]: Do I think Euge would be a good field director?
[ Chase ]: I don't think that was discussed.
[ Kidman ]: No, you.
[ EarlJr ]: some poor sap has to be loaded with the title
[ Kidman ]: I put my application in for it already.
[ EarlJr ]: Sorry Kidman, but this was an internal posting only
[ Chase ]: Not necessarily, some poor sap could be a 'case handler' instead. Same status, different requirements.
[ Ivy ]: I don't think it's a position you apply for.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Why not that Eleanor girl that helped you get your new promo?
[ Kidman ]: If Lee is eligable, then so am I.
[ Chase ]: Lee is a CI... civilian informant.
[ Ivy ]: Lee is not eligible for anything other than possible jail time.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Doesn't that look a little... convenient?
[ Chase ]: What makes you think he's elegible for anything?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Some chickie cries on camera and gets her favorite playboy saved, promoted AND gets a promotion herself?
[ Chase ]: I don't think putting Eleanor in my position would work well with the media.
[ Kidman ]: Sounds like Chick-lit
[ Kidman ]: Or a RomCom
[ EarlJr ]: welcome to bearucracy
[ Kidman ]: Lee seriously wants your job, Chase.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: yeah... we don't do that in VILE. We're all lackeys here
[ Kidman ]: He was on about it all last night.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: just some of us with more seniority than others
[ Chase ]: There are a lot of things Lee "seriously" wants that he won't ever have.
[ Kidman ]: lol
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: True that! Like he wants Carmen.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I'm sure he does...
[ Zack ]: (Gotta ask a question: Am I the only one that connected the title of the RP with Final Fantasy XIII / XIII-2?)
[ EarlJr ]: him and most of ACME
[ EarlJr ]: (never played those)
[ Chase ]: And most of law enforcement.
[ Chase ]: (never played FF)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: ACME's been after Carmen since Lee was a acne covered middle schooler
[ Kidman ]: (It is? I always just knew them by the numbers)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: then again they take middle schoolers so thats not saying much
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Lee's just loud about it, ah?
[ Chase ]: In a controled enviornment, we might let him loose sometime.
[ Chase ]: But not now, bigger fish to fry.
[ Kidman ]: Make sure he wears his shock collar.
[ Zack ]: (A Paradigm Shift in those two games is what happens when your party swtiches preset combat roles)
[ Chase ]: I don't think he'd make it far anyway.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Keep your Lee on a leash, all's I can say.
[ EarlJr ]: why? Afraid of getting bitten?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: If he gets close to VILE, Ima say it's ACME's fault.
[ Kidman ]: (Ah. nah, a paradigm shift is when a whole sense of persepctive changes. Calling it that would make sense)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Hell, if I were ACME I'd be more afraid of him turning around and biting them
[ Zack ]: (Yes I know that, but I found it funny I connected to the games first)
[ EarlJr ]: you're spending too much time with Kidman
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has left at 1:18 pm
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has entered at 1:18 pm
[ Chase ]: Good trip, Ivy?
[ DericStorm ]: (the interwebs got you?)
[ Ivy ]: *brushes off dust*
[ Ivy ]: It's all good.
[ Ivy ]: (browser just shut off)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (why do I keep getting the urge to put Sarah in another disguise?)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Lee won't bite ACME, he luvs Chase!
[ Kidman ]: Not until it suits him, anyway.
[ Chase ]: (Sarah -- You should, if it's funny)
[ EarlJr ]: (it keeps life interesting?)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (oh it would be...)
[ Kidman ]: But first Lee has to get a hitman that will do the job he wants.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Hitman??
[ Chase ]: We could rest easy then, those cost money.
[ Kidman ]: Yeah, you guys didn't know?
[ EarlJr ]: enlighten us
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: What'd he need a htiman for?
[ Kidman ]: Master, of course!
[ Chase ]: Probably to have a friend he could talk to.
[ Ivy ]: He can't be serious.
[ Kidman ]: But he has no money, so really it's a moot point.
[ EarlJr ]: that still doesn't explain why he would have to hire someone
[ Kidman ]: No, he totally is. I got him to spill this a month or so back.
[ EarlJr ]: unless you're seeing the world through your own strange lens again.
[ Kidman ]: Hell, I have the chat here somewhere.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Kiddo don't take what he says too seriously... he's a notoriously liar among other things
[ Sarah-Nade ]: *notorious
[ Chase ]: Exactly.
[ Kidman ]: Don't no one tell him I said any of this.
[ Chase ]: But if you think about it, sounds exactly like him...
[ EarlJr ]: ...
[ Kidman ]: Otherwise he won't keep me informed.
[ DericStorm ]: i don't talk to jordan unless i absolutely have to
[ Chase ]: He talks big about what he wants to do, and then he doesn't want to get his hands dirty or he'll be liable for it.
[ Kidman ]: So yeah, he wants it to look like an accident.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (so basically the Darien Gap is like deep deep jungle, am I reading this right?)
[ EarlJr ]: (pretty much, yeah)
[ Ivy ]: I wouldn't put it below Lee.
[ EarlJr ]: (real garden spot)
[ Kidman ]: http://www.theseventhstarprojects.com/Leetext.rtf
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Jordan's a nut
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I say it, n I say it some more
[ Kidman ]: I didn't know you could save chats then.
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has left at 1:27 pm
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has entered at 1:27 pm
[ Ivy ]: (send link again?)
[ Chase ]: Again?
[ DericStorm ]: Striiiiiiike 2
[ Zack ]: (you okay there Ivy?)
[ EarlJr ]: she's coordinated today
[ Kidman ]: http://www.theseventhstarprojects.com/Leetext.rtf
