Welcome! You have entered [Neutral Grounds] at 12:00 pm
[ 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]: Ivy has entered at 12:01 pm
[ Ivy ]: *knock knock*
[ Chase ]: Kidman, Ivy.
[ Chase ]: Come in.
[ Kidman ]: Chase was chat ghosting.
[ Kidman ]: Good on you
[ Ivy ]: Chase was chat ghosting?
[ Ivy ]: That doesn't sound like him at all
[ Ivy ]: He's usually too proud... or too bitter.
[ Kidman ]: :huh:
[ Chase ]: Heh, it's a job I used to take... when I had more time.
[ Ivy ]: What, you don't think so?
[ Chase ]: Also, nice to be alone.
[ Ivy ]: there's the bitterness.
[ Kidman ]: http://www.theseventhstarprojects.com/cake.JPG
[ Ivy ]: gah! my eyes!
[ Kidman ]: Stormy's birthday present
[ Chase ]: *Chuckles*
[ Chase ]: Poor Storm.
[ Ivy ]: I'm sure he'll love it.
[ Kidman ]: So Euge says VILE's about to split. What's he on about?
[ Ivy ]: That's interesting news.
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has entered at 12:09 pm
[ Ivy ]: Holy crap.
[ Kidman ]: Makick.
[ Kidman ]: Majick
[ Chase ]: chat mojo
[ Ivy ]: (Kidman.... I swear you do have chat magic.)
[ Kidman ]: Powers. I have them.
[ EarlJr ]: Somebody say my name?
[ Kidman ]: But if this is true...
[ Kidman ]: DUCATI!!!!
[ Chase ]: Kidman tells us you said VILE is about to split.
[ Chase ]: Is this accusation?
[ Ivy ]: Kidman said it in a passing mention... the force is strong with this one.
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has entered at 12:10 pm
[ Kidman ]: HOLY *****
[ EarlJr ]: more idle speculation on my part.
[ Carmen ]: (I'm still unable to get into Gmail, what might be the problem?)
[ Kidman ]: Okay....I just scared myself
[ Kidman ]: Seriously
[ Kidman ]: You guys.
[ Ivy ]: (Did you say Carmen's name?)
[ Chase ]: ... that was decently weird.
[ Carmen ]: Greetings, all.
[ Kidman ]: I...must use these powers for good...
[ Carmen ]: What is decently weird?
[ Ivy ]: Hey Carmen.
[ EarlJr ]: hey Carmen
[ Chase ]: Kidman said Ducati.
[ Ivy ]: Does Ducati bring in Carmen?
[ Carmen ]: Mm, I'm sure that's coincidental.
[ Kidman ]: 8s8s8s8s
[ EarlJr ]: Kidman, calm down
[ Ivy ]: (waiting for Connie to repost. I know it's normal time, but I feel like this RP is taking so long.)
[ EarlJr ]: there's no mechanisim at work here, sinister or otherwise
[ Kidman ]: (I told her not to worry about it)
[ EarlJr ]: (so she is going to put in a post? Good to know)
[ Kidman ]: (Eventually, I guess)
[ Carmen ]: While I have your attention... brief as it may be.
[ Carmen ]: I'll need to quickly discuss the progress of this story in Paradigm Shift.
[ Kidman ]: senses doom.
[ Chase ]: Well, nice.
[ EarlJr ]: any particular aspect?
[ Carmen ]: The VILE aspect, in relation to yours, of course.
[ Ivy ]: Well... where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
[ EarlJr ]: double facepalms
[ Carmen ]: For now, Tunisia, but after, I won't be mentioning my location.
[ Kidman ]: senses less doom.
[ Chase ]: *To Euge* It's okay, Ivy's a little rusty.
[ Ivy ]: I just had to... it's been years.
[ Chase ]: So, the VILE aspect.
[ EarlJr ]: yes, we were briefly discussing
[ Carmen ]: This conversation stays within this circle, I may surmise?
[ Kidman ]: wonders why gmail is so mean to Master.
[ Kidman ]: nods
[ Chase ]: *puts right hand over heart* Done.
[ EarlJr ]: yep
[ Ivy ]: Sure, who else am I going to talk to?
[ Carmen ]: I'd earlier plan that there's something under ACME tower, aside from the parking lot.
[ Carmen ]: (planned, excuse me)
[ Carmen ]: Now, this coincided near perfectly when Chase mentioned changing the building lot to a park.
[ Carmen ]: Was this something you had considered as well?
[ Chase ]: ... no
[ Chase ]: But now I'm wondering if you've been putting something in that scotch...
[ EarlJr ]: Chase, focus
[ Chase ]: *puts tumbler away*
[ Carmen ]: So you hadn't considered?
[ Carmen ]: No, of course not.
[ Chase ]: What is that supposed to mean?
[ Chase ]: No wait, go back, what did you have in mind?
[ Chase ]: A bunker?
[ Kidman ]: Ancient city?
[ Carmen ]: Of sorts.
[ EarlJr ]: how deliciously cryptic
[ Carmen ]: Perhaps a former bunker, full of artefacts -- Artefacts not acquired by myself, of course.
[ Chase ]: So who put them there?
[ Ivy ]: ...
[ Ivy ]: Who in ACME would know about it?
[ Carmen ]: These artefacts would, of course, be related to the files I had stolen from the ACME vault.
[ Carmen ]: Clues that you may have had more time to explore had you not destroyed the tower.
[ Chase ]: No need for the salt, it's done.
[ Carmen ]: I meant it as a statement, certainly nothing surreptitous.
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has entered at 12:27 pm
[ EarlJr ]: and this bunker was excised with the tower or remained in SFO?
[ Chase ]: Sophie, come in.
[ Kidman ]: Hey doc.
[ Ivy ]: Hey Sophie.
[ Scarlet ]: Bonjour, tout le monde.
[ Kidman ]: Master is telling everyone her top secret plan for some reason.
[ EarlJr ]: hey Doc
[ Carmen ]: Ah, salut Sophie.
[ Carmen ]: (I have to run out briefly, thank you for your time.)
[ Carmen ]: (Much apologies, of course.)
[ Kidman ]: cries
[ Scarlet ]: (Wait, I come in and the secret plans are now no longer discussed?)
[ Chase ]: (Take care, enjoy your afternoon.)
[ Scarlet ]: ( . . . )
[ EarlJr ]: (bye)
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has left at 12:30 pm
[ Kidman ]: :-(
[Neutral Grounds]: SwedishFish has entered at 12:30 pm
[ Ivy ]: (gah, I missed her!)
[ Chase->Kidman ]: Not sure if you heard her right... but she did only say 5 of us.
[ Kidman->Chase ]: Oh, right.
[ Ivy ]: Hey Gunnar.
[ Kidman->Chase ]: And with gmail down....
[ SwedishFish ]: Hej.
[ Kidman->Chase ]: Crap
[ Scarlet ]: Hello, Gunnar...
[ Kidman->Chase ]: I'm an idiot
[ Kidman->Chase ]: I'm going to ve kicked out of VILE for sure!
[ Chase->Kidman ]: Heh, pretty sure it's okay.
[ SwedishFish ]: Hallo, Doctor.
[ Kidman->Chase ]: Dammit, but I just made things worse
[ Kidman->Chase ]: Okay, not so bad...I can still do this...
[ Chase ]: Gunnar, come in.
[ Chase ]: You missed Carmen.
[ Kidman ]: I see you didn't quite do what I asked.
[ SwedishFish ]: I missed Carmen?
[ SwedishFish ]: Did I want to see her?
[ Chase ]: (She was in here for about 10 minutes)
[ Kidman ]: So I'm giving your star to Chase.
[ SwedishFish ]: Boss is a good choice.
[ SwedishFish ]: I am glad to donate a start to Boss.
[ SwedishFish ]: *star
[ EarlJr ]: is this one of those gold star stickers from grade school?
[ Kidman ]: Well that's no good. Sorry, Chase, have to take it back....
[ Chase ]: Thanks and no problem.
[ Kidman ]: You really upset her, you know.
[ Chase ]: Uh... me?
[ Kidman ]: No, Candy is being The Man with Abby.
[ Kidman ]: It was sad to watch.
[ Ivy ]: Kidman is giving grades on confidence?
[ SwedishFish ]: What?!
[ EarlJr ]: grades?
[ Kidman ]: Grades?
[ EarlJr ]: is this good for credit towards anything?
[ Kidman ]: sits next to the doctor.
[ Chase ]: I don't think these stars are real gold.
[ Kidman ]: I hope not. I ate one yesterday.
[ EarlJr ]: examines star
[ EarlJr ]: might be gold foil
[ SwedishFish ]: I need explained on how I lost this star.
[ Kidman ]: Go for it.
[ SwedishFish ]: I did nothing for that.
[ Chase ]: I think gold foil might have less shine.
[ Chase ]: Could be brass.
[ Kidman ]: You couldn't see how upset she was? And you just do nothing.
[ Kidman ]: Sounds like she saved your ass, too.
[ SwedishFish ]: Upset? It is how we always are.
[ EarlJr ]: maybe it's mylar
[ SwedishFish ]: I have thanked her many times.
[ EarlJr ]: that stuff is fairly shiny and reflective
[ Scarlet ]: All these theories!
[ Ivy ]: Wow, the drama that goes on here.
[ Scarlet ]: opens her bottle of Dr Pepper.
[ Kidman ]: What say you, Doc?
[ Scarlet ]: sips from her bottle...
[ Scarlet ]: Did you mean to ask my opinion on something?
[ Chase ]: Mylar, I'd settle for that.
[ Ivy ]: Seems the great debate has ended.
[ Kidman ]: Yes?
[ Kidman ]: You're good at this sort of stuff.
[ EarlJr ]: Doc, is it ok to ingest mylar?
[ Kidman ]: I asked her a question first, man.
[ Scarlet ]: BoPET?
[ Kidman ]: No...Abby and Candy.
[ Scarlet ]: Nothing will happen to you if you ingest it in small amounts, Mr. Grovington - I presume, accidentally.
[ Scarlet ]: It simply passes through...
[ Scarlet ]: If you want to ask something, Miss Kidman, you should simple ask it.
[ Scarlet ]: (*simply)
[ Scarlet ]: That is, usually, the best way to obtain an answer.
[ Kidman ]: I did!
[ Scarlet ]: All right, then please repeat your question?
[ Kidman ]: What is your opinion on Abby and Candy?
[ Scarlet ]: And, who is "Candy"?
[ Kidman ]: Do you think they enjoy being sad at each other as Candy claims?
[ Kidman ]: points at Gunnar.
[ Scarlet ]: looks at Gunnar.
[ Scarlet ]: That is hardly an appropriate nickname... but that's all right.
[ Scarlet ]: I do not know enough of them to comment on this.
[ Kidman ]: likes that it is inappropriate.
[ Kidman ]: I highly doubt Abby enjoys being sad.
[ SwedishFish ]: gives no chance in a million years he'll let Kidman hug him.
[ Scarlet ]: I highly doubt Gunnar enjoys being the subject of your apparent wrath.
[ Kidman ]: This isn't wrath.
[ EarlJr ]: alright, enough of the death glare
[ Kidman ]: I luv Candy.
[ Scarlet ]: Mm, whatever you wish to call it, Miss Kidman...
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Scarlet ]: waves and drinks more of her Dr Pepper...
[ Kidman ]: Doing this for him.
[ Chase ]: Since Abby isn't here, maybe this shouldn't be discussed.
[ SwedishFish ]: *mutters* What I was afraid of...
[ Kidman ]: Probably right, Chase.
[ Scarlet ]: Yes, it is always preferable to discuss things concerning a person when that said person is around.
[ Kidman ]: He was making progress, but I had to leave...
[ Kidman ]: You know what?
[ Kidman ]: gives Candy star for effort, even though he bailed once she was gone.
[ Kidman ]: :shock:
[ SwedishFish ]: cautiously accepts.
[ Ivy ]: (that star is actually hurting my eyes)
[ Kidman ]: sorry... hold on
[ Kidman ]: .
[ Kidman ]: ..
[ SwedishFish ]: (I'll tuck it somewhere. ;-))
[ Kidman ]: .
.....
[ Kidman ]: .
[ EarlJr ]: (if we move fast enough, we can bump it above the break)
[ Kidman ]: .
[ Kidman ]: .
[ Kidman ]: .
[ Kidman ]: .

[ Kidman ]: Is it gone yet?
[ SwedishFish ]: (Seriously?)
[ EarlJr ]: (seriously)
[ Chase ]: There's a 'Clear' button on your screen, right?
[ EarlJr ]: (heh)
[ Kidman ]: (Oh for craps sake....)
[ Chase ]: It's next to the italic "i"
[ Chase ]: ...seriously.
[ Ivy ]: (lol)
[ Kidman ]: facepalms
[ Ivy ]: (thanks anyway Kidman.)
[ Kidman ]: (:red:)
[ Ivy ]: (It's the thought that counts.)
[ SwedishFish ]: takes away a star Kidman had given herself.
[ Kidman ]: (:-))
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has entered at 1:00 pm
[ Kidman ]: (was going to do that anyway)
[ Kidman ]: Yeay! Master!
[ SwedishFish ]: Miss Sandiego.
[ Carmen ]: (And it's rightly working now.)
[ EarlJr ]: see what happens when you try to do something nice?
[ Ivy ]: Welcome back!
[Neutral Grounds]: Connie_Girl has entered at 1:01 pm
[ Scarlet ]: Welcome back...
[ Chase ]: A double entry
[ SwedishFish ]: Hejsan, Miss Constance.
[ Chase ]: Carmen, Connie.
[ Scarlet ]: Hello, Constance. :)
[ Connie_Girl ]: Hello, all
[ Kidman ]: (Yeah, but I totally forgot the clear button)
[ Kidman ]: Hullo!
[ Kidman ]: You post yet?
[ Carmen ]: Did anything interesting happen while I was out?
[ Kidman ]: ()
[ Kidman ]: Candy got a star and I lost one.
[ EarlJr ]: just chasing our tails
[ Kidman ]: Though I don't think I should have.
[ Kidman ]: Gimme that star back!
[ Chase ]: Not much happened, just... a battle for stars.
[ EarlJr ]: so, no. Nothing interesting.
[ Ivy ]: Hey Connie!
[ SwedishFish ]: I shall donate to Boss for you.
[ Chase ]: I don't know, they're just mylar...
[ Kidman ]: He doesn't need it.
[ Kidman ]: It was an act of kindness . You don't lose stars for that.
[ Chase ]: Are we keeping score?
[ Chase ]: Because if we are... I could be ahead.
[ Carmen ]: I'm sure I have more stars than you.
[ Kidman ]: Chase, you're second, actually.
[ Chase ]: *Chuckles*
[ Kidman ]: But by a long shot.
[ EarlJr ]: wait, how does one earn these stars?
[ SwedishFish ]: unceromoniously lets Kidman's star fall to the floor.
[ SwedishFish ]: Ginger likes you, you get a star.
[ Kidman ]: grabs it.
[ Connie_Girl ]: That's it?
[ EarlJr ]: so I'm safe then.
[ Kidman ]: That's not how it works!
[ Kidman ]: Euge, you have one.
[ Chase ]: Do these stars come with a certificate of authenticity?
[ Ivy ]: Seems I'll never get a star then.
[ Carmen ]: They're toys, darling, you can't file them with the ministry of culture.
[ SwedishFish ]: I never wanted one...
[ Kidman ]: Fairly sure you got one for something, too.
[ SwedishFish ]: But I had one already, apparently.
[ Kidman ]: I give them out when you do something I admire.
[ SwedishFish ]: How got I that star?
[ EarlJr ]: ... right
[ Kidman ]: Yes, for being so hell bent of protecting children.
[ SwedishFish ]: smiles.
[ EarlJr ]: this is still confusing the hell out of me
[ Ivy ]: If this reward system worked, there would be no need for ACME or VILE.
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has entered at 1:11 pm
[ SwedishFish ]: Or Deric.
[ Connie_Girl ]: Morning, Deric!
[ EarlJr ]: can these stars be redeemed for anything?
[ DericStorm ]: what i do now?
[ EarlJr ]: hey Deric.
[ Kidman ]: facepalms.
[ Chase ]: Storm, come in.
[ Scarlet ]: looks at Gunnar.
[ Scarlet ]: That worked.
[ Ivy ]: Hey Deric.
[ Ivy ]: You seem to keep asking that, Euge.
[ Scarlet ]: Good afternoon, Detective Storm.
[ SwedishFish ]: returns the glance.
[ Kidman ]: Did Chan give you my present?
[ DericStorm ]: yes. it was... unique
[ DericStorm ]: and it killed the chat
[ Kidman ]: ?
[ Ivy ]: How was the rest of your birthday?
[ Scarlet ]: (Crap, I read "chat" as cat...)
[ SwedishFish ]: (It wasn't just me?)
[ DericStorm ]: quiet (a little nervewracking. before i left yesterday, my supervisor said he wanted to have a sit-down with me today. i've been thinking about it ever since)
[ Scarlet ]: ("Chat" is French for cat.)
[ Scarlet ]: (How did it go?)
[ Kidman ]: (What a mean thing to do)
[ Scarlet ]: (Deric?)
[ SwedishFish ]: (Yes. I recall Roux fixing the 'chat' with the Twins present.)
[ Chase ]: (Scarlet -- chat is cat, que veux-tu dire?)
[ DericStorm ]: (meeting hasn't happened yet)
[ Scarlet ]: (Oh...)
[ Kidman ]: (Mean to make Storm wait like this)
[ DericStorm ]: (As i got in today, my supervisor had to go to a doctor's appointment. he was like "can i grab you when i get back?" I'm pretty sure it's nothing bad, but the uncertainty is killing me)
[ Ivy ]: (I hate that feeling. Sure you'll be fine, though.)
[ Scarlet ]: (Hang in there...)
[ DericStorm ]: (the last time I had a meeting with a head coach this time of year, i was fiding out i was being let go due to budget issues)
[ Chase ]: (He could just want to say happy birthday)
[ DericStorm ]: (that takes 5 seconds)
[ DericStorm ]: and he said it yesterday)
[ Kidman ]: (I don't like the term 'sit-down')
[ Chase ]: (Heh, I've done that to staff before... but right, no need to 'talk')
[ EarlJr ]: (hopefully it's just a performance review or the like)
[ DericStorm ]: (honestly, i know i'm overthinking it. the meeting is probably just to keep me updated on the fact my position may be promoted to full-time staff)
[ Kidman ]: (That sounds more like it. I doubt he's be so cavelier about it if it was something serious)
[ EarlJr ]: (either way, good luck)
[ Chase ]: (And if Cali were here, she'd say "boa sorte")
[ DericStorm ]: (yeah. I'm sure I'm fine. they wouldn't get rid of me days before spring practice)
[ DericStorm ]: (they'd at least wait until that's over)
[ SwedishFish ]: quietly unpacks his computer.
[ EarlJr ]: (we got quiet)
[ Chase ]: Yeah, happens.
[ Chase ]: Gunnar, if you're going to only work on that thing, go to the office or the residences.
[ Chase ]: It's quieter.
[ Carmen ]: Are computers not allowed in Neutral Grounds?
[ SwedishFish ]: ...Work?
[ Kidman ]: He wants us to notice.
[ SwedishFish ]: Wait...Right.
[ SwedishFish ]: What?
[ Chase ]: Either leave or put it away.
[ Kidman ]: So when we ask, he can act secretive.
[ SwedishFish ]: Ja visst. *quickly packs it up*
[ SwedishFish ]: Would not you like to know, jo Ginger?
[ Carmen ]: Very authoritarian.
[ Kidman ]: I asked, you wouldn't say, you and Doc share knowing glances, ect.
[ EarlJr ]: everyone loves a good conspiracy
[ Chase ]: It's a social place, you can whisper and people'll hear you.
[ SwedishFish ]: We did?
[ Carmen ]: *whispers* Truly?
[ Chase ]: Yes.
[ Kidman ]: finds that Master whispering gives her the shivers.
[ Kidman ]: You and Doc? Always.
[ SwedishFish ]: She is always on me...
[ SwedishFish ]: Whenever I would not someone around, she is there...
[ EarlJr ]: She does it to everyone
[ SwedishFish ]: It is creepy, sometimes.
[ Chase ]: Who are we talking about, Sophie Conrad?
[ Scarlet ]: Pardon?
[ Kidman ]: points to Doc beside her
[ Kidman ]: She's still here, you know.
[ Kidman ]: feels bad for Doc.
[ SwedishFish ]: Ja, I know.
[ Scarlet ]: has no idea what everyone is going on about...
[ Scarlet ]: Would you prefer I leave so you may discuss this at length?
[ Scarlet ]: I'm sure there's use for me at the Medical Center...
[ SwedishFish ]: Nej, nej. You are fine.
[ Scarlet ]: checks her phone...
[ Kidman ]: gently pats Doc's hand.
[ SwedishFish ]: But you always show when I expect no one.
[ SwedishFish ]: She scared me the other night...
[ Kidman ]: wishes she could tell Doc something, but can't.
[ SwedishFish ]: I opened the door, and she comes in just behind me. I never knew she was there.
[ Scarlet ]: gets off the sofa...
[ Scarlet ]: Does anyone want a ride back to ACME?
[ DericStorm ]: she's a :ninja:
[ SwedishFish ]: (Really, I have to get ready for work. I need to leave too.)
[ Scarlet ]: Non?
[ Scarlet ]: Well, goodbye everyone, take care.
[ Ivy ]: I think I'll stick around for a while
[ Ivy ]: Thanks Sophie.
[ Connie_Girl ]: (Have fun, Gunnar)
[ Kidman ]: Bye Doc...
[ Ivy ]: (Take care!)
[ Connie_Girl ]: Bye, Scarlet
[ SwedishFish ]: Hej då.
[ DericStorm ]: bye pippi
[ Carmen ]: Be well, doctor.
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has left at 1:48 pm
[ Kidman ]: :-(
[ SwedishFish ]: throws star into his backpack.
[ SwedishFish ]: Goodbye.
[Neutral Grounds]: SwedishFish has left at 1:49 pm
[ Ivy ]: Is this the fallout?
[ Chase ]: (I don't know, I don't have to leave for another... 30 minutes or so)
[ Ivy ]: (THat's plenty of time to discuss Chase's control issues)
[ Kidman ]: Anyone know anything about the Doc?
[ Chase ]: What do you mean 'know anything'?
[ Kidman ]: She's so...sad.
[ Chase ]: Really? How could you tell?
[ Kidman ]: Is that sarcasm?
[ Carmen ]: I believe Chase means to ask why you see her as sad?
[ Chase ]: ...My official translator.
[ Kidman ]: No one else....feels it?
[ Kidman ]: There's this....
[ Kidman ]: makes vague motion with hands.
[ EarlJr ]: feels what?
[ Chase ]: *Looks around* "Feel"?
[ Kidman ]: longing, wistfulness, defeat
[ DericStorm ]: (gtg)
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has left at 1:59 pm
[ Ivy ]: She left a bit suddenly.
[ Ivy ]: ...and so did Deric it seems.
[ Chase ]: I felt a breeze when Deric left.
[ Kidman ]: It's always there.
[ Kidman ]: There's a constant fog, and under it is this conflict
[ Chase ]: Longing... defeat... Sophie?
[ Chase ]: I guess that works.
[ Kidman ]: Someone struggling to get out but is being repressed.
[ EarlJr ]: ...
[ Carmen ]: It's part of her job to suppress emotions, I suppose.
[ Kidman ]: Resignation.
[ Kidman ]: Something happened.
[ Kidman ]: Something had to have.
[ Chase ]: Funny how people claim that's what Carmen does... first time I hear this about Sophie.
[ Kidman ]: This is different.
[ Kidman ]: Master is just selective.
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs* Funny, no?
[ Carmen ]: What do you think happened, Kidman?
[ Kidman ]: Something traumatic. Something that made her fear her emotions, fear they would do something beyond her control.
[ Kidman ]: Most likely on the job.
[ Chase ]: Sounds like speculation to me.
[ Kidman ]: Of course it is.
[ Kidman ]: That is why I ask if you know anything about her.
[ Chase ]: Oh, right. So we could have skipped all this analysis if I just said I don't know a thing about her?
[ Kidman ]: Master asked.
[ EarlJr ]: (I find it interesting VILE agents tend to be more emotionally in touch than ACME agents)
[ Kidman ]: (;-))
[ Kidman ]: (you're all too busy saving the day)
[ Carmen ]: (My agents, I assume, rely more on emotional context.)
[ Chase ]: We rely on evidence.
[ Ivy ]: Can't let emotions get in the way of the job, us ACME.
[ EarlJr ]: with some thought and planning thrown into the mix
[ Kidman ]: I think it makes for a good balance.
[ Connie_Girl ]: Sometimes a person must rely on whim though
[ Chase ]: I think I've seen everyone in VILE emotional except your boss.
[ Ivy ]: That's probably right, Connie.
[ Carmen ]: Even Vincent?
[ Connie_Girl ]: The right decision isn't always obvious.
[ Chase ]: He's expressive, yeah.
[ Carmen ]: Then I have experts around me, need I elaborate?
[ Kidman ]: Father is analytical, Mother is organic
[ Chase ]: Again with that...
[ EarlJr ]: perhaps, Connie. But are you relying on your whims in an emergency when you have someone bleeding out, or are you falling back on training?
[ Kidman ]: mechanical
[ Connie_Girl ]: Depends, Eugene
[ Chase ]: Right, without training, you can't do much to save a life.
[ Carmen ]: One could, perhaps, do as much as logic would provide.
[ Connie_Girl ]: Almost always a medical person goes with the evidence present as to what procedure is proper.
[ Connie_Girl ]: But sometimes there isn't enough evidence. Sometimes there is now time to gather evidence
[ Connie_Girl ]: *no time
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has left at 2:16 pm
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has entered at 2:16 pm
[ Ivy ]: And nothing was missed. Welcome back, Euge.
[ Chase ]: I like how chat gives everybody a bit of entrance music.
[ EarlJr ]: (I hate my internet with the fury of a thousand suns)
[ Chase ]: (That's a lot of fury)
[ Carmen ]: Mm, has that threat fixed your internet?
[Neutral Grounds]: DrRoux has entered at 2:18 pm
[ Ivy ]: Hello Doctor.
[ DrRoux ]: Salut amis
[ EarlJr ]: (I find it's nearly a statewide problem somehow)
[ EarlJr ]: hey Doc
[ Chase ]: Roux.
[ Carmen ]: Welcome, Acton.
[ DrRoux ]: Have I met everyone here?
[ DrRoux ]: I do not recall fully
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has entered at 2:20 pm
[ Ivy ]: More doctors. I feel safe.
[ Ivy ]: Welcome back, Sophie!
[ DrRoux ]: A Salut Mme le Docteur!
[ Scarlet ]: (I'm sorry - I must be honest, I wanted to see Dr. Roux. :) )
[ EarlJr ]: I feel like I should have my MOPP suit at the ready
[ Scarlet ]: Good evening, everyone - again.
[ Chase ]: (heh)
[ Connie_Girl ]: Anyways, to finish my rant, when there is not enough evidence, you have to rely on whim (yes, and training) to determine the correct procedure.
[ Chase ]: Late much, Connie?
[ DrRoux ]: Je suis d'accord
[ DrRoux ]: Mlle Connie is correct, without evidence, whim is subject to use.
[ EarlJr ]: true, but that isn't the same as relying on emotion to determine the correct course of action.
[ Connie_Girl ]: True, but it's not the same as evidence and thought and planning.
[ Kidman ]: Doc Roux, come sit next to the Doc and I.
[ Connie_Girl ]: Anyway.. :red:
[ DrRoux ]: Meric, Mlle Kidman, I enjoy sitting.
[ Kidman ]: The best doctors have a certain amount of intuition.
[ Ivy ]: You make good points Connie.
[ Scarlet ]: M. Roux, how goes your research?
[ Chase ]: Intuition still amounts to a lot of luck.
[ Kidman ]: Ultimately that is the nature of the coctor's trade.
[ Kidman ]: doctor's
[ Kidman ]: arranges it so that Roux and Sophi sit together.
[ DrRoux ]: *Looks at Carmen and clears his throat under his beak* I am doing well, mon recherche goes accordingly.
[ EarlJr ]: I've always been of the opinion intuition is just sensory cues your brain isn't registering on a conscious level
[ Carmen ]: Mm, similarly, defining 'intuition' may take us all night.
[ DrRoux ]: And you, Docteur Conrad? Your recherche?
[ Chase ]: And soon, we'll be talking about DNA memory.
[ Kidman ]: Mr Euge is correct.
[ EarlJr ]: just a theory of mine, from what I've seen in the field
[ Scarlet ]: We have collected the baseline blood samples...
[ Scarlet ]: The research will take time to prove its results.
[ Scarlet ]: As with yours, I expect...
[ Kidman ]: I read a study on it. fascinating stuff.
[ Scarlet ]: Have you come across any findings worth sharing?
[ DrRoux ]: You are a recherche docteur, Mme. Sophie?
[ Scarlet ]: Every doctor must research in somr way or another, don't you agree? It is the only way to improve our practice.
[ Scarlet ]: Empirical evidence is most valued.
[ Scarlet ]: (*some)
[ Kidman ]: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/23/health/23blin.html
[ DrRoux ]: A ouai, mais, you are receiving this grant of recherche from ACME?
[ Kidman ]: Neat, isn't it?
[ Kidman ]: ...Sorry, do continue.
[ Chase ]: ACME has research grants, mostly for grad students.
[ Scarlet ]: Ah, non... I am partnered with UCSF for this.
[ DrRoux ]: a oui?
[ DrRoux ]: Government or private granting?
[ Carmen ]: Grants interest you, Acton?
[ DrRoux ]: Non, Mme Carmen, I am curious of which sector funds this.
[ Chase ]: Probably the same kind of sector that would fund this in France.
[ DrRoux ]: You make a good assumption, M. le Directeur.
[ Kidman ]: would love to see a nanobot.
[ Scarlet ]: The university has granted us some funds, M. Roux - and we do have our private investors.
[ Scarlet ]: The drug companies are, understandably, interested...
[ Scarlet ]: And your funding comes from VILE only?
[ DrRoux ]: Oui, VILE est mon premiere source
[ Scarlet ]: nods....
[ Chase ]: C'est pas vrai...
[ Scarlet ]: What is not true, Director?
[ DrRoux ]: Ah, non, c'est tout vrai
[ Chase ]: Sarcasm
[ Carmen ]: I don't need to verify, I'm sure.
[ Chase ]: How much do you think a doctor spends on research?
[ Scarlet ]: looks at Chase...
[ Scarlet ]: Is that sarcasm or do you want a proper answer?
[ Ivy ]: (Never pictured VILE to fund medical research)
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: She cares for you, you know.
[ DrRoux->Kidman ]: non, I do not think so, Mlle Kidman
[ Kidman ]: (of course we do!)
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: I'm quite sure.
[ DrRoux ]: Pour mon recherche? Ce n'est pas grand.
[ DrRoux ]: Not much
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: She only speaks in your presence.
[ DrRoux->Kidman ]: We are friends, no more.
[ DrRoux->Kidman ]: My loyalty is with Carmen, do not test, young one.
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: I know your heart rests with Master, but do keep it in mind.
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: She is a lonely woman...
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: You could do her some good.
[ Ivy ]: (very philanthropic.)
[ Chase ]: That hardly needs brackets, Ivy.
[ Kidman ]: We are awesome.
[ Carmen ]: She can't say it In-Character, that would sway her moral compass.
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: Though please, keep this to yourself.
[ DrRoux->Kidman ]: A oui, but she has another lover.
[ DrRoux->Kidman ]: You should not assume she is lonely
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: It is only my observation, after all.
[ Scarlet ]: Compasses are meant to move. If they didn't, we'd all be walking in the wrong direction.
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: There is something...sad about her.
[ EarlJr ]: (alright everyone, time for me to head out)
[ EarlJr ]: bye all
[ DrRoux->Kidman ]: I have thought that too, and I agree
[ Kidman ]: gives Sophi a star.
[ DrRoux->Kidman ]: She is sad.
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has left at 2:53 pm
[ Kidman ]: Bye love!
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: But she seems more alive when you come in.
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: You free something up in her.
[ Carmen ]: I'm not saying any compass leads to the right direction, of course.
[ Chase ]: Sometimes, they lead in circles.
[ Scarlet ]: No, they don't "lead" anywhere, do they?
[ Ivy ]: Well, if you consider they are supposed to always point north...
[ Kidman ]: 'Right' is a matter of perspective, I say.
[ Scarlet ]: They merely point North.
[ DrRoux->Kidman ]: I have a theory that she very much enjoys Chase's company
[ Scarlet ]: The destination is the choice of the possessor.
[ DrRoux->Kidman ]: But she is repressing this because he belongs to Carmen.
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: You've never seen her when you are not here, obviously.
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: It is night and day.
[ Carmen ]: They merely point to the assumed position of 'North.'
[ Chase ]: So even north is subjective?
[ Chase ]: Nice way of putting it.
[ Chase ]: We really should stop comparing morality to compasses.
[ Scarlet ]: smiles...
[ Scarlet ]: And so is every other thing in life...
[ Scarlet ]: Is an orange really orange?
[ Ivy ]: It's on your profile.
[ Chase ]: Really?
[ Chase ]: *checks*
[ Scarlet ]: We simply accept things because they've been labelled so for so long.
[ Chase ]: Christ, I sound stuffy.
[ Scarlet ]: But nothing on earth is set in stone - even the surface we walk on.
[ Ivy ]: Here... "He has a discerning moral compass,"
[ Scarlet ]: That's why research is important.
[ Carmen ]: You should include your love for Scotch, loosen the bar slightly.
[ Carmen ]: Mention the tango... and perhaps the orchid collection as well?
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: Watch her blooming now!
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: This is only because you are here.
[ Carmen ]: "Piano" seems terribly tame for you.
[ Scarlet ]: (Yes, Chase - edit your profile and I'll lengthen mine. :P )
[ Chase ]: I'm not touching this profile
[ Ivy ]: So much has come out of chat.
[ DrRoux ]: It is a very manly profil
[ DrRoux ]: It is a wonderful profil, of many manly things, non?
[ Scarlet ]: laughs.
[ DrRoux ]: (I did not think that would come up)
[ Chase ]: Was that sarcasm?
[ Ivy ]: Yes, a very manly profile.
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs*
[ Kidman ]: smiles quietly for Sophie.
[ DrRoux->Kidman ]: Why are you very interested in Doctor Sophie?
[ DrRoux ]: laughs under his mask
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: I am interested in souls, Dr. Roux.
[ DrRoux->Kidman ]: Are you not interested in other souls?
[ DrRoux->Kidman ]: You are only speaking to me of hers.
[ DrRoux ]: Military men must like their profiles clean, non?
[ Carmen ]: Ah, yes. Speaking of which... 0321, is it not?
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: Because you have an effect on hers.
[ Chase ]: There isn't anything special on this day, it's just a coincidence.
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: And I wanted to make you aware of it.
[ Carmen ]: But your profession is on your profile.
[ Carmen ]: Reconnaissance Man
[ Kidman->DrRoux ]: I'm fairly sure you won't use this information for evil.
[ Chase ]: For some reason, you saying that makes it almost worth it.
[ Carmen ]: Make what worth it?
[ Chase ]: The lengthy profile.
[ DrRoux ]: Is 0321 a code?
[ Chase ]: No, it's a number.
[ Kidman ]: I don't think Master is impressed by the size of a man's profile. it's how he writes it that counts.
[ Chase ]: It just means Marines Corps Force Reconnaissance. I was in 3rd Battalion.
[ Ivy ]: laughs
[ Carmen ]: Well said, Kidman.
[ DrRoux ]: Ahh!
[ DrRoux ]: Very honourable title
[ DrRoux ]: You never cease to impress, M. le Directeur.
[ Chase ]: Sarcasm?
[ DrRoux ]: Non
[ Kidman ]: Dr. Roux isn't much for sarcasm.
[ DrRoux ]: I am seeing why ACME looks up to your valour.
[ DrRoux ]: It is a very interesting condition.
[ Carmen ]: Define, roughly, "condition"?
[ DrRoux ]: Chase must be seen as a hero to many.
[ Ivy ]: I'm sure he is.
[ DrRoux ]: The greater the man, the greater his army.
[ Carmen ]: Are we including Nevon Blair into this equation as well?
[ Chase ]: *Nods* He's my drummer.
[ Chase ]: Or... background music, if he can't drum
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs*
[ Kidman ]: I hear Nevon is coming along quite well.
[ DrRoux ]: He also knows how to assign agents, bon!
[ Chase ]: Nev's doing fine on his own.
[ Carmen ]: "Tough love," your motto?
[ Chase ]: I don't have the word "love" in any of my mottos. It's weak.
[ Scarlet ]: frowns.
[ Kidman ]: laughs out loud.
[ DrRoux ]: laughs muffled under his mask
[ Kidman ]: :roll:
[ Ivy ]: Nevon has improved... he's passed most of his classes.
[ Ivy ]: You might want to consider allowing him to be your intern.
[ Connie_Girl ]: "Love" is a beautiful word!
[ Scarlet ]: I second Ivy's suggestion.
[ Chase ]: I can't take an intern, I don't stay in one place long enough.
[ Kidman ]: No, no, I shouldn't laugh.
[ Kidman ]: That is a sad statement.
[ Carmen ]: Chase was being sardonic.
[ Carmen ]: In truth, he has no motto.
[ Chase ]: Glad that's translatable.
[ DrRoux ]: How do you know what he is saying, Mme Carmen?
[ Carmen ]: If you must know, he comes with a manual.
[ Kidman ]: So having 'love' in a motto is weak, not love itself?
[ Kidman ]: My motto have 'love' in it.
[ Kidman ]: has
[ Ivy ]: What's your motto?
[ DrRoux ]: A manual?
[ Kidman ]: Amor vincit omnia
[ DrRoux ]: laughs under his mask
[ Chase ]: Hey, that manual isn't given for free.
[ Carmen ]: No, of course, it's arduously earned.
[ Carmen ]: Can't be purchased, can't be retrieved, practically unfathomable.
[ Chase ]: Right.
[ Kidman ]: Or you could just check the glove compartment.
[ Chase ]: So don't abuse it.
[ Ivy ]: Nice motto. Not what I would have expected.
[ Ivy ]: She stole the manual.
[ Kidman ]: ?
[ Kidman ]: What did you expect?
[ Ivy ]: You know, I don't know what I expected.
[ Carmen ]: I'm also debating if I should make this into a PDF and distribute.
[ DrRoux ]: laughs louder
[ DrRoux ]: I would like a copy, non?
[ DrRoux ]: non, I would need 3 copies.
[ Ivy ]: (lol)
[ Carmen ]: I'm sorry, Acton, I can't let you handle sub-distribution. I have to own the rights.
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Carmen ]: *To Chase* Oh, don't look so forlorn, I won't distribute the entire manual... only the part about translating your strange tongue.
[ Kidman ]: I too find the Chase to be an interesting study.
[ DrRoux ]: A oui!
[ DrRoux ]: moi aussi
[ Kidman ]: Much less strenous than Lee.
[ Carmen ]: Ah, Lee is hardly as deep as one would like him to be.
[ Ivy ]: Lee is strenous?
[ Ivy ]: I thought there was a layer of greed, then a layer of hatred... and then the need to rebel against authority.
[ Carmen ]: Ivy, that simple layout of his personality is already an over analysis.
[ Kidman ]: It's scattered about in little pockets. very time consuming.
[ Chase ]: After about 30 minutes talking to Jordan, you can predict his next few sentences.
[ Chase ]: I'm not being cocky.
[ Carmen ]: I wouldn't claim you were.
[ Carmen ]: He does have a certain pattern.
[ Kidman ]: Perhaps my study may end up empty.
[ Kidman ]: But this is a science not only based on what is, but on what can be.
[ Chase ]: Exactly, a pattern.
[ Chase ]: He starts off casual.
[ Chase ]: Then he starts pressing buttons, and if that works agasint him, he goes defensive.
[ Chase ]: He's not shy about parading his feelings out in the open either.
[ Chase ]: And he's still making rookie mistakes when it comes to covert missions.
[ Ivy ]: You're pretty stern with him.
[ Carmen ]: Oh, Ivy, hardly.
[ Carmen ]: This is where I note Ivy has never worked directly under Chase.
[ Kidman ]: I wonder how that is?
[ Ivy ]: No, I think he'd drive her crazy.
[ Ivy ]: me.
[ DrRoux ]: I wonder aussi
[ Ivy ]: *
[ Chase ]: Already talking in third person, Ivy? Really separating this, huh?
[ Carmen ]: He'll drive just about anyone crazy.
[Neutral Grounds]: Elaine has entered at 3:40 pm
[ Chase ]: Elaine, come in.
[ Connie_Girl ]: Hello, Elaine
[ Carmen ]: Welcome, dear.
[ Ivy ]: Hey Elaine!
[ Elaine ]: Hi everyone
[ Kidman ]: Hmmmm....
[ Scarlet ]: Good evening. :)
[ DrRoux ]: Salut!
[ DrRoux ]: Contrary, I think many would feel very safe working under M. le Directeur.
[ DrRoux ]: He is stern, but it is because he cares that his agents are safe, non?
[ Kidman ]: If I were ACME, I would give it a go.
[ Chase ]: Did that just come from Roux?
[ DrRoux ]: A oui
[ Scarlet ]: looks at Chase.
[ DrRoux ]: I have given you many unnoted compliments in the past, M. Devineaux.
[ Scarlet ]: He's right. The Director does care - far more than he's willing to admit.
[ Carmen ]: "Willing" is also subjective, I'm sure.
[ Chase ]: It's common sense. Sending agents to their deaths is bad kharma.
[ Scarlet ]: Oh, "common sense" is subjective, too.
[ Scarlet ]: It's amazing how much people consider "common sense", when it really isn't common at all.
[ Ivy ]: Well, in a way he's ACME's poster boy.
[ DrRoux ]: chuckles a little
[ Ivy ]: the symbol of good and justice.
[ Kidman ]: Poor Chase...
[ Chase ]: I uh... don't need the sympathy, thanks.
[ Carmen ]: Sometimes, sympathy is all a man my rely on.
[ Carmen ]: And with that, I must go, thank you for your time.
[ Kidman ]: Bye Master...
[ Chase ]: Right, thanks, and take care.
[ Connie_Girl ]: (Bye, Carmen)
[ Scarlet ]: Thank you, Carmen.
[ Scarlet ]: Take care on your travels.
[ DrRoux ]: farewell, Mme Carmen
[ Ivy ]: Later Carmen.
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has left at 3:50 pm
[ DrRoux ]: She is very enjoyable
[ DrRoux ]: You are a very good sport M. le Directeur
[ DrRoux ]: Very tolerable man.
[ Chase ]: Stop your praising.
[ Scarlet ]: laughs softly to herself.
[ DrRoux ]: a oui?
[ DrRoux ]: I am not praising you
[ Scarlet ]: Dear dear director...
[ DrRoux ]: I am stating the reasons you have allowed Carmen to jest.
[ Scarlet ]: Yes, do not praise him too much - his head might not fit through the door later, and ACME shall perish without their Male Lead.
[ Chase ]: Trust me, I didn't need to 'allow' anything.
[Neutral Grounds]: Elaine has left at 3:55 pm
[ DrRoux ]: laughs under his beak
[ Scarlet ]: (That should've been OOC.)
[ Chase ]: (It's fine IC, works both ways)
[ DrRoux ]: Carmen, she has not many at her level.
[ Ivy ]: Alright, I need to head off. I have to double check my suspicions about Chase and Euge... and finish that burrito.
[ Chase ]: You really have to eat better.
[ Scarlet ]: See you around, Miss Monaghan.
[ Chase ]: Thos burritos will kill you.
[ Connie_Girl ]: Bye, Ivy
[ Scarlet ]: If you want better food, come to the Medical Center.
[ Chase ]: *those
[ Kidman ]: has newfound respect for Ivy.
[ Scarlet ]: I am not joking.
[ Ivy ]: I don't know what you mean by "better food" this is SF's best stuf.
[ DrRoux ]: You will be missed Mme Ivy
[ Scarlet ]: smiles...
[ Scarlet ]: Very well, good bye and enjoy your burrito.
[ DrRoux ]: Especially if you are killed by burritos
[ DrRoux ]: That I cannot bare to happen
[ Ivy ]: *smirks* seems ligitimate.
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has left at 3:58 pm
[ Kidman ]: Is Connie still here?
[ Connie_Girl ]: Yes
[ Kidman ]: Did you ever change your post thing?
[ Connie_Girl ]: (I'm working on something)
[ Kidman ]: (:-))
[ Chase ]: (take your time)
[ Connie_Girl ]: looks over her new class schedule
[ Chase ]: Some of the rooms have shifted...
[ Chase ]: to make space for the agents
[ Connie_Girl ]: I wonder why Microbiology and chemistry switched rooms.
[ Connie_Girl ]: I thought the class rooms were the same size
[ Kidman->Chase ]: So...stuff in the basement.
[ Connie_Girl ]: I suppose there is a reason for everything
[ Chase ]: Seeing as this is ACME, you might never know the reason.
[ Chase ]: Right, I'm off. (Night everybody, good long chat)
[ Scarlet ]: (And I really must go now. Good night, everyone.)
[ Scarlet ]: looks at Chase.
[ Connie_Girl ]: (Goodnight, Chase)
[ Scarlet ]: -.-"
[ Kidman ]: Night love
[ Scarlet ]: Goodbye.
[ DrRoux ]: goodbye friends!
[ Connie_Girl ]: (Bye, Scarlet)
[Neutral Grounds]: Chase has left at 4:11 pm
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has left at 4:11 pm
[ Connie_Girl ]: (I was waiting for the evacuation..)
[ Kidman ]: Of the chat?
[ DrRoux ]: (Quite a long chat today)
[ Connie_Girl ]: (Yes)
[ DrRoux ]: (My favourite section was about Chase coming with a manual)
[ DrRoux ]: rs rs
[ DrRoux ]: (very funny from Carmen)
[ Connie_Girl ]: (Yes, that was quite funny)
[ DrRoux ]: I am unsure if I should continue with Eleanor's Leak RP, non?
[ DrRoux ]: No one has posted to move the story
[ DrRoux ]: But I have already plans to join in Paradigm Shift
[ Kidman ]: Yeay!
[ Connie_Girl ]: (That should be fun to read)
[ DrRoux ]: Mlle Kidman, I also assure you, I am not fond of Mme Sophie.
[ Connie_Girl ]: She is really nice
[ Kidman ]: What a sad thing to say.
[ Connie_Girl ]: She is a great person to work under
[ DrRoux ]: non, I do not mean I dislike her
[ DrRoux ]: I cannot indulge that sort of feeling for her.
[ DrRoux ]: She is ordinary to me.
[ DrRoux ]: (My English is not strong, non? You must forgive)
[ Connie_Girl ]: (Your English has been perfectly wonderful!)
[ DrRoux ]: (Merci beaucoup!)
[ Kidman ]: (Yes, quite well!)
[ DrRoux ]: I serve Carmen, a oui?
[ DrRoux ]: ACME is not the side I have chosen.
[ Connie_Girl ]: Yes, inter agency relationships can't be that advisable
[ Kidman ]: I don't mean to have a relationship with her.
[ Kidman ]: Just friends.
[ DrRoux ]: a oui? then what do you mean?
[ DrRoux ]: ah non
[ DrRoux ]: Friends is not correct
[ DrRoux ]: Carmen will not mind, but I will not feel good.
[ DrRoux ]: We can be acquaintances
[ DrRoux ]: I am also thinking of researching this Lee Jordan
[ DrRoux ]: The discussion today about him was so brief
[ Connie_Girl ]: Mr. Jordan is interesting
[ Connie_Girl ]: Kidman knows more about him than I do though
[ DrRoux ]: Chase is very smart man, I can tell. But does not mean he knows everything.
[ DrRoux ]: He tells us Lee has a patern
[ DrRoux ]: I wonder if all this has truth
[ DrRoux ]: Or if Lee is only making it seem like he has a pattern
[ Kidman ]: It is a partial truth.
[ DrRoux ]: It is very complex, non?
[ DrRoux ]: Lee is Carmen's enemy
[ Connie_Girl ]: I actually haven't seen him much. I was present when Kidman and he were discussing his dating life...
[ DrRoux ]: Yet Chase is Lee's boss
[ Kidman ]: It could see him go either way.
[ DrRoux ]: I am almost sure a man like him has no serious woman relationship
[ DrRoux ]: he is too unkind
[ Kidman ]: Lee is at a sort of crossroads.
[ Connie_Girl ]: Yeah... :(
[ DrRoux ]: he is also too young and rash
[ Kidman ]: He is young, period.
[ Connie_Girl ]: He is not that young...
[ Kidman ]: I feel it is too early to judge what he will become.
[ DrRoux ]: But I believe he will do what he sets out to do, non?
[ DrRoux ]: he has a determined look on his face
[ Kidman ]: That is also unknown.
[ DrRoux ]: I do not know what he wants to do
[ Kidman ]: I'm not sure he does.
[ DrRoux ]: but I can see he wants to do something
[ Kidman ]: Lee is shallow, for now.
[ Kidman ]: Unformed in many ways.
[ Kidman ]: But there is potential for many different directions.
[ DrRoux ]: ah
[ Kidman ]: Or he may remain as he is.
[ Kidman ]: Which, while better for Master, seems a waste.
[ DrRoux ]: then I hope he becomes a better man
[ DrRoux ]: Carmen would not wish him to remain where he is, I am certain
[ Kidman ]: I'm...not too sure that will happen.
[ DrRoux ]: she may not like him, but she is an advocate of growth
[ DrRoux ]: she would preference to watch him grow
[ Kidman ]: So long as he keeps himself tangled with her, nothing good will come of it.
[ DrRoux ]: He cannot pull away, you see?
[ DrRoux ]: Mme Carmen has much power over him still
[ DrRoux ]: If he knows this he will only get more angry
[ DrRoux ]: (I must be going, mon amis, merci!)
[ Connie_Girl ]: (Bye!)
[ DrRoux ]: (a bien tot!)
[ Kidman ]: bye love!
[Neutral Grounds]: DrRoux has left at 4:40 pm
[ Connie_Girl ]: (The chat lasted long today)
[ Connie_Girl ]: There must be something more in Mr. Jordan. I hope he can become better.
[ Kidman ]: Quite long!
[ Kidman ]: But I must go as well.
[ Kidman ]: spring cleaning
[ Kidman ]: Bye love!
