Welcome! You have entered [Neutral Grounds] at 2:10 am
[ Kidman ]: Try to always stay in character. (Use parentheses for out-of-character chats.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (ok back)
[ Philo ]: When where dere kids?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Lol
[ Chase ]: Kidman, come in.
[ Kidman ]: Hey.
[ Chase ]: How's your day, Kid?
[ Kidman ]: ...
[Neutral Grounds]: Tanya has entered at 2:12 am
[ Kidman ]: I'm still alive.
[ Tanya ]: (Oh yay, people)
[ Kidman ]: You?
[ Tanya ]: Privet
[ Philo ]: So, I guess we got kids..
[ Scarlet ]: Wow.
[ Chase ]: I'm decent.
[ Chase ]: Tanya, privet. Kak dela?
[ Tanya ]: Okay here. Holding press not so hard.
[ Tanya ]: (Are we or are we not doing Diablo 3 when it hits?)
[ Philo ]: I never understood why yeh guys always talk to people in deir native language. Nobody comes up to me an' goes "EyYo, Philo? How's it hangin'?"
[ Chase ]: (I am not, but I bet you are.)
[ Scarlet ]: (Everyone's talking about that - Diablo 3.)
[ Philo ]: (I've got a great new PC with lots of ram and memory....still doesn't render graphics well enough for games.)
[ Tanya ]: (I was the first in Thailand to get Diablo 1... and 2... naturally, I have 3 ready to go)
[ Scarlet ]: (All my male friends will disappear into their caves on the 15th of May.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (honestly even I've been tempted by Diablo 3 and I don't usually go for that sort of PC gaming)
[ Tanya ]: (I spend... a bit yearly on a new rig for games... and hacking. It's part of my annual budget.)
[ Philo ]: (I'd rather jsut lump it all into a next gen console.)
[ Chase ]: (Says the Director of Technology.)
[ Tanya ]: (*bows*)
[ Philo ]: (I can't ron TF2 on my PC, but I can on my PS3)
[ Tanya ]: (PS3's great, but my thumb hurts.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (I can run Diablo 3 I think however I don't have a proper desk to use for long term gaming)
[ Tanya ]: (I'm still a mouse and keyboard gal... also Geforce 590...)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (and for the record my PS3 is my baby... I love it far too much)
[ Chase ]: (Nvidia? Where did you get that card?)
[ Tanya ]: (I had a buddy smuggle it in from Singapore.)
[ Tanya ]: (Nah, Thailand has them now, I went out and got one.)
[ Philo ]: (I installed all my old 32 bit Sierra and Lucasarts adventure games.)
[ Philo ]: (those games are classics.)
[ Tanya ]: (shop's called Feudal Lord... sure winner, eh?)
[ Tanya ]: (I loved Sierra! Those Quest series are so... questy)
[ Tanya ]: (Their last great game was NOLF 2 (No One Lives Forever) and then they flunked.)
[ Tanya ]: (Lithtech engine's still being used for FEAR, but it's about useless anywhere else.)
[ Tanya ]: (Too much gimicks, no real render speed.)
[ Chase ]: (...Okay, reign in the tech talk.)
[ Philo ]: (A lot of sierra people are still working: Al Lowe is doing a new Larry game, The Two Guys from Andromeda aredoing a space game, but sadly they don't have the space quest licence...)
[ Tanya ]: (Lowe's still kicking?? Oh wow!)
[ Philo ]: (And Telltale Games is bringing back King's Quest)
[ Tanya ]: (Not too thrilled about KQ... the 8th installment really bombed.)
[ Philo ]: (Al Lowe just financed a remake of Larry 1 for PC and iOS...I got to his website all the time. It's full of jokes.)
[ Tanya ]: (Sorry Chail, I get into this stuff and it keeps going)
[ Tanya ]: (*pushes her own brakes*)
[ Philo ]: (He has a miling list for jokes in your e-mail, and an iOS app which tells you jokes with a voice narrator.)
[ Tanya ]: (Al Lowe on iOS, I so have to see that.)
[ Chase ]: (How's your iPad app for L'Officiel?)
[ Tanya ]: (Rejected... with a big red R)
[ Philo ]: (So far it's looking like a hi-res animated game. the jokes are gonna be updated for the post 2000s and there's gonna be a new girl. Fans requested she be asian.)
[ Tanya ]: (Database redundancy problem, they don't like publications like ours... just fixed)
[ Tanya ]: (Asian, I can dig that. I, too, am partial to Asian girls.)
[ Chase ]: (...you are an Asian girl.)
[ Tanya ]: (What's your point?)
[ Scarlet ]: (Hehe...)
[ Chase ]: (Nevermind. So you have time to chat today, Tanya... that's new.)
[ Tanya ]: (I'm downloading Diablo 3... and I just got a kid at work to download all the batman tas for me. It's sweet, I have lackeys.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (I have BTAS on dvd... it makes my heart sparkle)
[ Chase ]: (What do you do with them?)
[ Tanya ]: (BTAS is king, hands down.)
[ Tanya ]: (I command lackeys, what else can I do with them?)
[ Tanya ]: (And an issue of L'Officiel magically appears every month on the 1st)
[ Tanya ]: (By the by, I made a ref to our site in this month's issue!)
[ Philo ]: (I have lackeys too. I have blog lackeys.)
[ Chase ]: (Really?)
[ Philo ]: (They're easy to get to follow you....into an anime con or a new toy store.)
[ Tanya ]: (I'm in charge of the article titles because nobody really speaks English at the office.)
[ Tanya ]: (I named one of them La Vie de Luxe)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (thats awesome)
[ Scarlet ]: (Neat.)
[ Tanya ]: (I know! Power!)
[ Tanya ]: (heheheh)
[ Tanya ]: (But no, seriously, that was all I can do.)
[ Chase ]: (Hey, do you have a copy of this month's issue?)
[ Chase ]: (Scan the La Vie de Luxe, I want to see.)
[ Tanya ]: (Okay, but it's all in Thai.)
[ Tanya ]: (Just the title's in English... or ehh French)
[ Tanya ]: (I'll get it to you maybe monday)
[ Chase ]: (Great.)
[ Tanya ]: (What else is new in TECS?)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (not much, waiting on the RP to continue...)
[ Chase ]: (Uh... waiting for a Deric post... a Euge post, maybe... and then Ivy'll do her one-week-later)
[ Chase ]: (She's already working on the OWL)
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has entered at 2:36 am
[ Kidman ]: 8s
[ Tanya ]: (If that didn't stand for One Week Later, I'd say it sounded like some codename.)
[ Ivy ]: Hey.
[ Tanya ]: Privet Ivy.
[ Scarlet ]: (It does sound Harry Potter'ish.)
[ Scarlet ]: Hello, Ivy!
[ Scarlet ]: We were just speaking of you.
[ Chase ]: (It's magic)
[ Ivy ]: (Nice to be on this side of chat magic.)
[ Chase ]: Yeah, this place...
[ Tanya ]: (Is it worth it to watch all 6 seasons of The Sopranos?)
[ Chase ]: (Yeah, do it, in HD if you can find it.)
[ Philo ]: (I'd say stick to the first three)
[ Chase ]: (I haven't seen it, but heard decent things.)
[ Tanya ]: (First 3 it is! cuts my download time in half)
[ Philo ]: (So much on my Netflix I haven't touched yet. I got Dexter, Buffy....)
[ Tanya ]: (Dexter, I'm up to the season just before the latest one)
[ Philo ]: (I only just barely watched almost all of South Park)
[ Tanya ]: (Am unfortunately, not a fan of Buffy... the only vampire I want to see is in the form of Kate Beckinsale.)
[ Philo ]: (You have good taste.Very classy.)
[ Tanya ]: (Which Underworld magically granted.)
[ Philo ]: (three times out of four)
[ Tanya ]: (I still have to go through South Park... last full season I watched was season 12)
[ Chase ]: (I'm so out of touch with TV, it's not even funny)
[ Chase ]: (Agreed on Beckinsale)
[ Philo ]: (I remember talknig about Undderworld with my sister. She said she didn't like the idea of the vampire having sex with the werewolf. That's necrophilia. I retorted, that's bestiality.)
[ Tanya ]: (Hey, if Catherine the Great of Russia can do a horse with a series of intricate pullies... )
[ Tanya ]: (...whatever, I just lost my thought)
[ Ivy ]: (You had a point.)
[ Chase ]: (heh heh)
[ Philo ]: (That's still up in the air...)
[ Philo ]: (the horse, not the rumor)
[ Philo ]: (And that's the type of joke you get in a Leisure suit Larry game)
[ Chase ]: (was it horse or bovine?)
[ Tanya ]: (I miss Larry, I really do. He was the greatest)
[ Tanya ]: (Uncomfirmed reports, captain, but it was definitely a grass-eater.)
[ Chase ]: (heh heh)
[ Philo ]: (Triple A companies tried to make a larry 8 and 9, both of them bombed....neither of them had al Lowe)
[ Philo ]: (So Al Lowe and some sierra guys bought back the license and are gonna produce a new one indie-style)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (I liked Buffy. Kate I didn't mind but the plots were paper thin)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (honestly they just could have saved everyone a ton of time and called it 'Boobs, Leather and Guns')
[ Tanya ]: (Plot? NO need)
[ Philo ]: (I'd watch a movie with that title...)
[ Ivy ]: (If we did that to the ACME/VILE universe we'd make $$$)
[ Tanya ]: (No, still needed a good name like Underworld... they just don't have to bother with story. Which, they didn't... and it was great.)
[ Philo ]: (But do we really want to pander to that kinda audience?)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Oh no, and it did its just brilliantly)
[ Chase ]: (I think we banned a few people who were potentially that kind of audience.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (I guess in the show Buffy my defence is I didn't necessarily like Buffy the character. I preferred all the other characters)
[ Scarlet ]: (Yes, Sarah.)
[ Philo ]: (That's ALWAYS been the issue with Buffy. That was the MOVIE issue with Buffy.)
[ Tanya ]: (Buffy took too long for me to care for any of the characters.)
[ Tanya ]: (But I did dig the lesbian twist, very avant garde)
[ Philo ]: (I wrote my paper for communication class on the debut of Kevin Keller, the new openly gay archie comics character.)
[ Tanya ]: (But then Will and Grace made it mainstream)
[ Scarlet ]: (Oh, I loved Will & Grace.)
[ Philo ]: (WILL AND GRACE! That was the reference I forgot.)
[ Tanya ]: (titty boom)
[ Chase ]: (what?)
[ Tanya ]: (It's the sound a ricochet and drum makes)
[ Philo ]: (I just liked Grace...and only cause of that one episode where i found she eats her onion blossom like I do.)
[ Philo ]: (I just prefer to say drum fill.)
[ Tanya ]: (lol)
[ Philo ]: (That was a Larry reference too. Larry takes a matchbook. Narrator says "Looks like you've finally met your match." Drum fill.)
[ Tanya ]: (Ah Larry, classic Lowe)
[ Tanya ]: (Always imagined Vic the Slick a little like that)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Awww, thinking of Buffy made me think of Angel and Angel made me think of Lorne who is dead. Poor Lorne)
[ Tanya ]: (Must be the leisure suit)
[ Philo ]: (Probably jsut the shared outfit)
[ Philo ]: (yeah)
[ Tanya ]: (I missed the whole Buffy-Angel thing because I was boycotting vampires at the time. Who's Lorne?)
[ Chase ]: (Boycott?)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Lorne was a green demon who talked like a Las Vegas Showman and could read souls and fortunes by making them sing kareoke)
[ Tanya ]: (I randomly boycott things... vampires, superman, harry potter... all random.)
[ Philo ]: (So much of one thing in the media it gets dull. I did it with zombies.)
[ Philo ]: (Zombies are everywhere in video games, basically because they're a human avatar you can remorselessly kill.)
[ Chase ]: (Right, can't forget your harry potter boycott)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Best character in Angel in my opinion. But Andy Harnett, the guy who played Lorne, died of heart failure after an infected tooth)
[ Tanya ]: (Still haven't seen any of the movies, have you?)
[ Tanya ]: (Aww, poor Andy Harnett, what a way to go... infected tooth)
[ Philo ]: (I never saw 5 6 and 7 because I preferred the book ending.)
[ Chase ]: (Still have not seen the movies, yeah, your grip is strong.)
[ Philo ]: (Or rather, I enjoyed finishing the books so much I wasn't about to re-live them)
[ Tanya ]: (I got grip, don't forget it.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (so in the comics after the show they wrote an ending for him since the show ended so abruptly. Long story short Lorne became the center of the universe to keep it from collapsing in on itself. He can see everything but can't affect anything)
[ Philo ]: (A really funny situatino was I had passes to see Watchmen,. so right after I got the passes i went to the barnes and bought a copy of the graphic novel. So I read the whole novel before seeing them ovie.)
[ Tanya ]: (Shoddy ending, but I'll take it!)
[ Philo ]: (But it wasl ike a WEEK before I saw the movie.)
[ Tanya ]: (Oh wow, I did that too... read Watchmen a day or two before watching the movie.)
[ Tanya ]: (Don't know if it should have been made into a movie, though... it was a little whacked.)
[ Philo ]: (It was dumbed down a bit....but it worked out well enough.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (yeah but Alan Moore's works are always a little off)
[ Tanya ]: (Movie made more sense)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (or in some cases ALOT off)
[ Tanya ]: (The bob dylan intro was perfect)
[ Chase ]: (Agreed on that bit)
[ Tanya ]: (Brought back memories of the gun I used in 'Nam)
[ Philo ]: (And there's no denying that Malin Ackerman was sizzlin')
[ Philo ]: (She needs to be in morel eads)
[ Tanya ]: (Okay, let's do some character building now that we've gone OOC)
[ Chase ]: (suggestions?)
[ Philo ]: (I was waiting on that subplot where ivy convinces Philo to take her to an old hideout. Seemingly nothing should be there but something is)
[ Tanya ]: (I'm not here a lot, what do you guys do?)
[ Tanya ]: (Philo's taking Ivy to a VILE hideout?)
[ Philo ]: (I talked about that with Ivy)
[ Chase ]: (Supposedly... that needs to be initiated by a post from Euge)
[ Chase ]: (And Eartha said Ken and her have something too?)
[ Philo ]: (I'd written a JP with Eartha where Eartha springs Ken from an asylum, and reveals the letter to Chip was a plant.)
[ Tanya ]: (niceee, moving stories)
[ Chase ]: (... that's genius)
[ Chase ]: (Does Carmen know?)
[ Philo ]: (Ken had intended to use it to keep Chip distracted while Carmen stole the tower, but it's a decayed herring now.)
[ Tanya ]: (Bet she does, Eartha tells her everything.)
[ Philo ]: (Now all it does is forebode that Chase's plot to get Chip to infiltrate VILE, isn't gonna work too well.)
[ Chase ]: (Yeah, and that's good, we need that kind of buffer to keep things interesting)
[ Chase ]: (Haven't seen Chip around though)
[ Ivy ]: (saw him this morning.)
[ Ivy ]: Sorry, last night.)
[ Ivy ]: (but he didn't say much.)
[ Chase ]: (Good, so he's around.)
[ Philo ]: (Do iwhat i do, leave letter messages.)
[ Chase ]: (Yeah, but Eartha will need to post something before Chip goes next)
[ Philo ]: (I'll jsut post the JP. I've been sitting on it through finals.)
[ Tanya ]: (Before I lose this thought, Great back and forth for Chase/Mayhem)
[ Tanya ]: (Also, I want to read something from Philo/Ivy with this story line you guys started)
[ Philo ]: (Have we moved forward in time any? We could just re-meet on the same day.)
[ Chase ]: (You haven't been on much, there's a lot to read)
[ Tanya ]: (And what's Kidman doing next?)
[ Philo ]: (Drat, always the way. Waylaid by finals)
[ Philo ]: (No, thel ast post I readwas the jordan one)
[ Tanya ]: (That thing with Joe Kerr/Kidman dropped off into infinity)
[ Kidman ]: (...not sure, to be honest.)
[ Tanya ]: (Reminder: Joe still has the Cayman)
[ Ivy ]: (I'm just waiting on Euge, who says he should be done by Friday. Then we can get Philo/Ivy's talk rolling)
[ Tanya ]: (Not sure? Carmen hasn't instructed yet, is that it?)
[ Chase ]: (There's actually a lot going on in this RP...)
[ Kidman ]: (I'm sure it will come up eventually.)
[ Chase ]: (When we lay it out... decently surprising)
[ Philo ]: (I need to finish my journals. I'dl ike to get started on that 'Day of the User' arc.)
[ Philo ]: (that I proposed...before going AWOL...)
[ Chase ]: (Right, we should talk on that too)
[ Philo ]: (I still have an old JP with carmen i need to post.)
[ Tanya ]: (yay for dialogs)
[ Ivy ]: (yes, yay!)
[ Tanya ]: (and yay for journal posts)
[ Philo ]: (well, for those who don't know it's basically been that for years ken has been tormented by some other hacker, one who is obsessively and recklessly going after Carmen)
[ Kidman ]: (I did one, but it's just to pass time.)
[ Tanya ]: (Kidman's kind of an intense character, isn't she?)
[ Philo ]: (In the arc he attaches bombs to a variety of landmarks, holding both ACME and VILE at ransom coercing them to turn Carmen ion)
[ Tanya ]: (has that In-the-dark vibe going)
[ Kidman ]: (You could say that. Probably not the best fit for here.)
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has left at 3:19 am
[ Philo ]: (I always saw Kidman as that one who joined on the last. A little sister to virtually every VILE agent)
[ Kidman ]: (She wishes. Nah, nothing like that.)
[ Philo ]: okay i gotta go
[ Kidman ]: (Kidman's a fugitive from life hiding in Carmen's shadow, except Carmen won't let her stay there.)
[ Chase ]: Have a good one, Philo
[ Kidman ]: (See you, mate.)
[Neutral Grounds]: Philo has left at 3:21 am
[ Tanya ]: (What happens when Carmen pushes Kidman out of her shadow?)
[ Ivy ]: Later Philo.
[ Kidman ]: (At the moment, she's not doing well.)
[ Tanya ]: (But it sounds like in Kidman's posts, that she doubts Carmen)
[ Tanya ]: (Why would Carmen keep anyone around that doubts her?)
[ Kidman ]: (She's pissed as hell at Carmen.)
[ Tanya ]: (I read it, and it might be you're setting Kidman up for some amount of failure)
[ Kidman ]: (Remains to be seen, I guess.)
[ Tanya ]: (Yep, but if I were Carmen, I don't think I'd keep Kidman)
[ Tanya ]: (Observation)
[ Chase ]: (It's something on the fence, but if you ask me, I'd have to agree on some level.)
[ Chase ]: (even said it once or twice.)
[ Tanya ]: (Because Kidman sounds like an ACME agent more than a VILE agent.)
[ Kidman ]: (Yeah, yeah...)
[ Ivy ]: (That's true. Never noticed it before.)
[ Tanya ]: (And with Carmen's other henchmen so loyal too)
[ Tanya ]: (Kidman has no right to be angry at Carmen, she doesn't know what's in Carmen's head.)
[ Tanya ]: (But instead of supporting her like other henchpeople, she's all 'why??')
[ Tanya ]: (That kind of doubt's bad in any organization)
[ Kidman ]: Everyone has a right to be angry when they are.
[ Kidman ]: And maybe that's the whole point.
[ Kidman ]: No one talks to Carmen.
[ Tanya ]: (Not in VILE. When Sarah Nade was mad at Carmen, he left)
[ Kidman ]: No one tells her when she's in over her head.
[ Tanya ]: (*she)
[ Kidman ]: Kidman could give a damn.
[ Kidman ]: Carmen was a god to her once.
[ Kidman ]: Now she's human.
[ Tanya ]: (How would you know Carmen's in over her head?)
[ Tanya ]: (How do you know for sure?)
[ Kidman ]: I'm not at liberty to say more than what I have.
[ Tanya ]: (So then you're either for Carmen or against her.)
[ Kidman ]: that's pretty black and white.
[ Tanya ]: (and if you're not supporting her, doesn't make your role in VILE less?)
[ Kidman ]: maybe your best friend is the one who tells you how it is.
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has entered at 3:33 am
[ EarlJr ]: hey everyone
[ Kidman ]: Hey.
[ Scarlet ]: Greetings, Eugene...
[ Tanya ]: Privet pilot
[ Ivy ]: Hey Euge.
[ Ivy ]: In time to see stories unfold.
[ EarlJr ]: stories?
[ Tanya ]: Stories?
[ Kidman ]: Yes.
[ Kidman ]: Stories.
[ Chase ]: Broken record.
[ EarlJr ]: then don't keep in in suspense
[ Scarlet ]: There is no 'in' in suspense.
[ Kidman ]: Ivy and Philo are going to check out an old VILE HQ
[ Kidman ]: Ken and Eartha are doing something.
[ Kidman ]: And I suck as an agent.
[ Tanya ]: (And I was questioning Kidman's "Why Master? Why?"s in her posts)
[ Kidman ]: Yes.
[ Kidman ]: Thank you.
[ Tanya ]: (But hey, that's Kidman's angle right?)
[ Tanya ]: (She's supposed to bloom into something awesome)
[ Kidman ]: ...
[ Tanya ]: (Otherwise, there's no growth and the readers are disappointed)
[ Kidman ]: (You knew that?)
[ Tanya ]: (Knew what? No, I figured a good story needs huge change in character)
[ Kidman ]: (Though I don't know if 'awesome' is the word)
[ Tanya ]: (heheheh)
[ Tanya ]: (Fine "awesome" is Dan's yours can be... splendiferous)
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I've been getting a lot of crap about Kidman lately...
[ Chase ]: (I'd clap for Tanya, but I wouldn't know where to start.)
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Don't sweat it, you're doing great!
[ EarlJr ]: (splend-what?)
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: I was just playing around to get people interested on you
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: ...if it had been last week, that would have been awesome.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: You need the interest boost
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I know you didn't know that.;-p
[ Tanya ]: (iferous)
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: If Deric EVER gets his post done, there's going to be a bombshell of a co-post
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: between Kidman and Carmen.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: We've been waiting for TWO MONTHS for it.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Gouda
[ Ivy ]: Well at least we learned something.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: And it's driving Kidman insane.
[ Tanya ]: Da
[ Ivy ]: And that's important.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: The problem is, Kidman is sort of her own person running off me.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: I think I get it.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Chail has the same thing... sort of, but not anymore.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I think I'm the only one here with it.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I didn't even want to RP because of it.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: We had some others... but they had to be banned.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Pru drafted me for story support.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Because they were too far gone, and they really didn't know what they were doing.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: I know, Pru talked to me a little before about you.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: And I resisted for a while...
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: She did?
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Yep
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has entered at 3:49 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Yo ho ho!
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: I'm not on the site much, but I'm doing a lot back end.
[ Scarlet ]: You made it.
[ Ivy ]: Hey Dan.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Are you 'Will'?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Finally,
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Not programming, just story stuff when I catch the guys online.
[ EarlJr ]: are you a pirate?
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Nope Will's the programmer
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: depends, are you an officier?
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: I'm also handling the ACME Boards.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: So that's that. :)
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I don't suppose I could ask what she said...
[ Chase ]: Pirate... when did somebody tell me today about a pirate...?
[ Chase ]: *what
[ Chase ]: Nevermind, nice seeing you, Dan.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Big room.
[ Kidman ]: Hey Dan
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: About which part?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Kidman.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: About me?
[ Tanya ]: Privet
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Privet Tanya. Wow... long time!
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I probably shouldn't be asking.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Oh, nothing that she hasn't told Chail, just about.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: New perspective and all that.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Pru's amazing
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: So basically a warning...
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: she's still running almost the entire story.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Warning? what's a warning?
[ Tanya ]: No see in long time.
[ Tanya ]: You are looking bushier than norm.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I dunno. I'm sorry.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: It wasn't malicious.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: This thing is getting to me.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *scratches beard* yeah, it's protection from the cold and stuff.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: I think she liked you.
[ Tanya ]: *is unconvinced*
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: And I don't want to see her disappointed.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: She's a really, really, great person.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I know.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: It's why I'm trying to keep it together.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: So when I read stuff about Kidman doubting her, I have to bring it up.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: It's how we protect Pru/Carmen
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Make sure you're not a bad seed.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: The truth is, I wasn't drafted for RP.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Though she'll say otherwise.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Doc Sophie.
[ EarlJr ]: in some cultures a full beard is a sign of manhood
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I couldn't find that thing you told me to find.
[ EarlJr ]: gotta respect the beard
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I'm here to help her plot.
[ Chase ]: Did you know... in the Royal Navy, you have to get a 'Mandate' to get permission to grow a beard?
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Which means I know too much, all the time.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Yeah, and a man must find a woman who can appreciate it.
[ Scarlet ]: Oh, don't worry about it.
[ Chase ]: And when you do, a superior officier checks your growth weekly.
[ Ivy ]: A Mandate?
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: And Kidman knows too much, all the time.
[ Chase ]: If you fail to grow an impressive beard... that mandate is removed.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: It wasn't a problem at first, but when the RP stalled...
[ Chase ]: And you have to shave it all off.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: That is a good system.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: It sounds like a contest I can win.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Would it be better if you don't know?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: And that's a real contest.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: It's starting to crush her, and it leaks out in chat.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Not like one of Em's phone calling video voting things.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I don't know at this point.
[ Tanya ]: Beard growing very important
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Why don't we try?
[ Ivy ]: Man with a beard means business.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Talk to Pru about not talking plot for a while.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: See if after this, you get better.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Because... there would be no reason to stay.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Thank you.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I'm holding out to see if things change after the co-post.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Then you need to pick one path... stay or not stay.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Okay, see if things change, but you know in RPs like this one, it can slow down a lot.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: You'll feel this again, no doubt.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Possibly, but I'm not sure it will be as bad.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: What's the weather like outside?
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: It can be.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Anything's possible.
[ EarlJr ]: goes to the window
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Question is.... if it does get this bad, or even worse, is Pru's friendship or our friendship worth your staying?
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Well yes, or I wouldn't be here.
[ EarlJr ]: Dan, get over here
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Hang on, little tomato. :)
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: You know that song?
[ Scarlet ]: "No matter how nice the west coast summers, winters were wet and miserable."
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *goes to where Mr. G tells him to go.*
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I'm trying.:-)
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Nah...
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: I find it for you, it's really cute.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I had to ditch Kidman's original backstory to do this.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Looks kind of overcast.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Yeah, I changed an old character to be Tanya too.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: She's unformed. There's a lot of stuff that should solidify with this co-post.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I'm banking on it.
[ Ivy ]: We get rain a lot here.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jz706sJMjg
[ EarlJr ]: but what do those clouds tell you?
[ EarlJr ]: what about the series of wispy clouds higher up?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Err...
[ Chase ]: Doc, winters usually are.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: *goes to song*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *looks out window more*
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Listen to it, it's for you.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: :)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Is it going to snow?
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: ...I'm glad I stayed on. Cheers, love.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Cheers to you too
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: I think the song's hilarious.
[ EarlJr ]: *me pulls out his communicator and makes a note to enroll Dan in an aviation meterology class next semester*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Damn.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Who teaches that?
[ Chase ]: *chuckles*
[ Scarlet ]: laughs...
[ Chase ]: That was a decent entrapment.
[ Scarlet ]: Boy Scouts camp.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I hope it's not Mr. Wunderbundt.
[ Chase ]: Wunderbundt still around?
[ Ivy ]: Mr. Wunderbundt doesn't teach anymore.
[ Chase ]: Christ... that's what I thought.
[ Chase ]: I was sure he had a retirement party...
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: *breathes*
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Thanks.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: It was getting pretty dark in here...
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: I listen to it and it makes me laugh everytime.
[ Ivy ]: He sort of lost his mind near the end of it.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Reminds me not to take things too seriously.
[ Ivy ]: Stayed in his office for a few weeks afterwards.
[ Chase ]: Yeah, I know... without pants.
[ Ivy ]: Not pretty.
[ Tanya ]: Who is this man?
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I try, but having this...setup of mine is daunting.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: He was an old instructor at ACME.
[ Chase ]: His office used to be across from Dr. Weller's old office at the academy...
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Pru picked me up because of it, but it has a darkside.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: dark side.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: He totally hated the noise we made during dorm parties.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Pru's so much like Carmen.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Sometimes
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: It's creepy sometimes, right?
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: I think she knows you have that darkside.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: And she's curious.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Oh she's well aware.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Yep
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: just what i thought
[ Chase ]: It was strange too... because he had selective hearing.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Yeah.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: There's always the risk I'll fall into the story.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey, what's everyone's favorite sport?
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: She knows the risk, yeah?
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: She also know Kidman would be this way and judge her?
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Yeah. The whole thing was agreed to be one massive mind experiment.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Not sure.
[ Tanya ]: You asking everyone?
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I warned her Kidman would be unpredictable.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Yeah, just a random question.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Loyal to a fault, but not in the usual manner.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Mine is a little too obvious.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: lol
[ Ivy ]: Baseball.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Kidman's pissed because it matters so much.
[ Chase ]: Uh... falconry.
[ Chase ]: Yeah, that sounds good.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: The tower heist has put everyone at risk, especially Carmen.
[ Ivy ]: Couldn't do something simple could you, Chase?
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: And she feels it happened because no one spoke up to question her.
[ Chase ]: I was going to say hunting... but it was too generic.
[ EarlJr ]: does that really qualify as a sport?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Nah, answer anything.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: She'd rather risk her job confronting Carmen than letting her fall in on herself, even if that may not be what is actually happening.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: like Carmen's mom
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: If she had a mom
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: More like Batman's Alfred.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: but good
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: she's got someone watching over her
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (Does Ivy play baseball?)
[ Scarlet ]: I like to run...
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Or at least being level with her.
[ Scarlet ]: And... Schwingen is fun to watch.
[ Ivy ]: (Ivy watches it.)
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Carmen has to be human to someone.
[ Tanya ]: Heli-Skiing
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: No one can keep that up alone.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Wow.
[ Ivy ]: Nice one Tanya.
[ Chase ]: ...wow
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: But it does put Kidman in an unpopular position.
[ EarlJr ]: fun stuff
[ Scarlet ]: Very. The rush is amazing.
[ EarlJr ]: spendy, but you can get some good powder that way
[ Scarlet ]: (I can't tell if that was IC or OOC.)
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Which has worn her down and made her a bit sharp in chat.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Which has had the obvious reprocussions...
[ Scarlet ]: (Heh, Tanya - I was going to go with skiing, but thought that might be predictable for Sophie.)
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has entered at 4:22 am
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I've felt terrible lately, about being so toxic.
[ Tanya ]: (Heli-Skiing isn't skiing, tough, you just have skiing gear.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Deric!
[ Tanya ]: (The fun part is getting dropped into virgin snow)
[ DericStorm ]: hey everyone
[ Tanya ]: Privet Deric
[ Ivy ]: Hey Storm, welcome to the party.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I don't want to be _that_ person.
[ Scarlet ]: (Always.)
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Chase is that person.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: The one that sees her as human.
[ Scarlet ]: Hello, Detective...
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: I don't think she likes much of VILE seeing her as human.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Chase is also locked up in ACME.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Sarah nade and contessa, last we talked, they know she's human.
[ DericStorm ]: Hello, Pippi
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: He can't really be the voice of reason over there.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Kidman's a grunt
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: so she doesn't know right?
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Niether of them question Carmen,
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Sarah did
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: And sarah left
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: but Carmen saved her from jail
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: now she's back
[ Scarlet ]: Favourite sport, Detective?
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: This is true.
[ DericStorm ]: football
[ Scarlet ]: American?
[ DericStorm ]: yep
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: At the time, Liz was away.
[ Scarlet ]: That makes sense.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Ohh, okay
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: It seemed unlikely she would be coming back, but I sent out a letter anyway.
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: She responded a month later.
[ DericStorm ]: considering i played it from the time i was 9 until the time i graduated college
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: So yes...I've probably become redundant.
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: It's okay you know
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: Just play what's right to you
[ EarlJr ]: alright, it's time for me to depart
[ EarlJr ]: bye everyone
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has left at 4:28 am
[ Kidman ]: Bye guy.
[ Tanya ]: Very fast that pilot
[ Tanya->Kidman ]: No two characters are the same anyway
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: I guess all I can do is wait out the clock.
[ DericStorm ]: maybe it was a premature ejection
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I should head off too.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Later everyone!
[ Kidman ]: Bye mate
[ DericStorm ]: (man, not only do i kill chat, i kill the party)
[ Scarlet ]: Bye~
[ DericStorm ]: bye danny
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (Not going to say what I read from Deric's last post.)
[ DericStorm ]: (:grin:)
[ Kidman ]: (lol)
[ Scarlet ]: (He specialises in that.)
[ Chase ]: (I read it too)
[ Ivy ]: Later Dan.
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has left at 4:31 am
[ Tanya ]: Poka
[ Kidman ]: I'm going to take off, too.
[ Kidman ]: Bye guys
[ Ivy ]: Later Kidman.
[ DericStorm ]: (I don't know what you're talking about. Everything I say is innocent):whistle:
[ DericStorm ]: bye kid
[ Kidman->Tanya ]: Night, love.
[ Ivy ]: (right...)
[ Tanya ]: Bye
