[ Connie_Girl ]: Hello, Kidman!
[ Kidman ]: Hey love.
[ Kidman ]: It's been awfully quiet lately.
[ Connie_Girl ]: Yes, it has. I have not seen anyone the whole day
[ Kidman ]: I hope the RP doen't stall...
[ Connie_Girl ]: Yeah, I hope the this is just the quiet before the storm.
[ Connie_Girl ]: *I hope this
[ Kidman ]: I haven't seen Carmen in two days, which is odd.
[ Connie_Girl ]: I was supprised to see no one around this morning
[ Connie_Girl ]: And I haven't seen Deric at all, besides the birthday wish I received from him
[ Kidman ]: I'm beginning to think...it's me? When I joined a month ago, Carmen told me to be in here at a specific time. After that, I just always came in.
[ Kidman ]: Other people saw a person in chat and came in too.
[ Kidman ]: Deric started ghosting with me.
[ Kidman ]: The more people in the chat, the more came in.
[ Connie_Girl ]: Yeah, a lot of people won't come unless there are at least three people on
[ Kidman ]: But the past few days I've been too tired to stay on long.
[ Connie_Girl ]: I was on till 11:30 pst, but no one came yesterday :(
[ Kidman ]: At night?
[ Connie_Girl ]: Yes
[ Kidman ]: Yeah...I was dead tired last night...
[ Connie_Girl ]: I felt lonley; so I wrote a bunch of sad stuff
[ Kidman ]: Where?
[ Connie_Girl ]: Oh, just in a google doc. I was writing more on Connie's origin.
[ Kidman ]: Is it a sad origin...?
[ Connie_Girl ]: Kinda sad. Connie was so young that she doesn't remember any of it.
[ Connie_Girl ]: Connie was adopted at age 1
[ Connie_Girl ]: I was just trying to fill in some of the gaps in her life
[ Connie_Girl ]: Probably won't post anything...
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has entered at 12:11 am
[ Kidman ]: Why not?
[ Connie_Girl ]: Hello, Eugene!
[ Kidman ]: Hey mate!
[ EarlJr ]: hey Constance, Kidman
[ Kidman ]: I've filled my profile with all kinds of stuff.
[ Connie_Girl ]: How are you doing, Eugene?
[ Kidman ]: You seen Master at all, killer?
[ EarlJr ]: decent, I suppose.
[ EarlJr ]: not quite ready for students again
[ EarlJr ]: no, I haven't seen Carmen for a while
[ Connie_Girl ]: We were wondering where everyone is today.
[Neutral Grounds]: Elaine has entered at 12:17 am
[ Kidman ]: See?
[ Elaine ]: Hello hello
[ Connie_Girl ]: Hello
[ EarlJr ]: it's been quiet around here the last few days.
[ Kidman ]: I really think it's me.
[ EarlJr ]: hey Elaine
[ Kidman ]: Hey love.
[ Kidman ]: I don't think we've met.
[ Elaine ]: Hi! I'm Elaine
[ Kidman ]: I love that colour
[ Kidman ]: Hope Lee shows up.
[ EarlJr ]: knowing my timing, he probably won't.
[ Connie_Girl ]: So Elaine, how have you been lately?
[ Elaine ]: Been good just school nothing new ya know. How about you?
[ Connie_Girl ]: Pretty much the same here, school and the same old stuff.
[ Kidman ]: I know Chase's middle name. Should we try to summon him?
[ EarlJr ]: have fun with that
[ Kidman ]: Doubt it would work this time of night...
[ EarlJr ]: oh ye of little faith
[Neutral Grounds]: Chase has entered at 12:34 am
[ Kidman ]: You want to try it or not? Choose your sarcasm
[ EarlJr ]: see?
[ Kidman ]: But I didn't say it yet!
[ Chase ]: Is it late or early, I can't tell?
[ Elaine ]: Wow that was impressive
[ Connie_Girl ]: Hello
[ Kidman ]: I guess just knowing is enough.
[ Kidman ]: Hold on...
[ Kidman ]: Ducati.
[ EarlJr ]: (I have no clue. Daylight savings has got me all screwed up)
[ Kidman ]: waits
[ Chase ]: Ducati? Where?
[ EarlJr ]: anyways, hi Chase
[ Chase ]: Hi here too.
[ Kidman ]: I forgot, it works on both.
[ Kidman ]: Where's Master?
[ Chase ]: Carmen? Preferrably still in Tunisia.
[ EarlJr ]: that would be ideal
[ EarlJr ]: maybe she can sit tight for a bit.
[ Chase ]: If she could for a few, we'd be set.
[ Kidman ]: (who goes next in the RP?)
[ Chase ]: (anyone, no restrictions on posts)
[ Kidman ]: (true that, but I mean story movers)
[ Chase ]: (probably me, Euge, and Mikal)
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has entered at 12:41 am
[ Kidman ]: (Ah, the rat pack,)
[ Chase ]: (Did anyone have trouble understanding Sophie post, by the way?)
[ Chase ]: (*Sophie's)
[ Kidman ]: (Sort of. Was Weller in chat recently?)
[ Ivy ]: *knocks on the side of Neutral Ground's doors*
[ Ivy ]: Hello?
[ Kidman ]: Hi!
[ Chase ]: Ivy, come in.
[ Connie_Girl ]: Hello, Ivy
[ Kidman ]: Sorry
[ EarlJr ]: hey Ivy
[ EarlJr ]: we're just all in our own little zones here.
[ Elaine ]: hello Ivy
[ Ivy ]: (Had a bit of trouble understanding Sophie's post. Was she calling Chase in the end?)
[ Ivy ]: In your own zones? Looks like a full house.
[ Chase ]: (She's heading off for the holidays, I guess that wasn't clear.)
[Neutral Grounds]: Connie_Girl has left at 12:44 am
[ Kidman ]: Awww
[Neutral Grounds]: Connie_Girl has entered at 12:44 am
[ EarlJr ]: (ah. Hope she has a good time then)
[ Kidman ]: Yeay!
[ Kidman ]: (Why would she go on holiday now?)
[ Ivy ]: (Oh, okay. Because the whole Maine thing threw me off. I figured Chase was the Maine-guy)
[ Chase ]: (It's chrismas-new years in the RP timeline...)
[ Chase ]: (Heh 'Maine-guy' sounds like a pun)
[ Ivy ]: (unintended.)
[ Kidman ]: (Awww Carmen, you did that at Christmas??)
[ EarlJr ]: (sure it was)
[ EarlJr ]: (it was her gift to VILE)
[ Kidman ]: (:nono:)
[ Chase ]: (I don't think she cared about religious holidays...)
[ Ivy ]: and poor ACME... like the innocent whos in whoosville.
[ Ivy ]: We gathered around and realized... we didn't need a tower for Christmas.
[ Chase ]: I'm unfamiliar with that analogy
[ Kidman ]: I don't really see the holidays as religious.
[ Ivy ]: (we just needed vengeance...)
[ Kidman ]: It's all one big harvest party to me.
[ Chase ]: Vengeance, I get... why didn't you say that in the first place?
[ EarlJr ]: you're making things difficult for me here Chase
[ EarlJr ]: and Tanya, for that matter.
[ Chase ]: Heh, comes with the territory.
[ Kidman ]: By not getting Ivy's reference?
[ Chase ]: Ivy was making a reference?
[ EarlJr ]: facepalms
[ EarlJr ]: just forget it Chase
[ Ivy ]: It's okay Chase... have a seat.
[ Kidman ]: facepalms
[ Chase ]: This isn't like the time the Axis and the Ally paused the war to sing a few carols over No Man's Land?
[ EarlJr ]: Sorry Chase, nothing like it.
[ Kidman ]: That's every day here.
[ EarlJr ]: no Christmas truce here.
[ Kidman ]: in this room.
[ Chase ]: Anyone wants beer?
[ Kidman ]: :beer:
[ EarlJr ]: sure, since Doc Conrad isn't here to tell us otherwise.
[ Ivy ]: Well, she is a doctor.
[ Ivy ]: It's her job.
[ Connie_Girl ]: Beer is not healthy for the central nervous system
[ Chase ]: *Passes around bottles*
[ Chase ]: You want root beer, Connie?
[ Connie_Girl ]: It messes with the cerebellum among other things
[ Ivy ]: *takes one* We also have Connie as well, to make sure we don't get out of hand.
[ Kidman ]: One beer won't hurt. Though I only drink root beer.
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has entered at 12:57 am
[ Kidman ]: Regular beer tastes like rotting things.
[ Connie_Girl ]: Hello, Deric
[ Chase ]: Deric, get in here, have a beer.
[ DericStorm ]: hail hail the gang's all here
[ Kidman ]: Hey Storm
[ DericStorm ]: i need one after a few minutes ago
[ Kidman ]: I used my majick.
[ EarlJr ]: magic is just the caveman's word for science
[ DericStorm ]: well, just put a green hat on her and we can call Kidman a leprechaun
[ Chase ]: Don't know if she needs any more hats.
[ EarlJr ]: nah, not unless she can do the accent
[ Ivy ]: Hey Deric.
[ Kidman ]: Hmmm... I'm a York. It shouldn't be too hard.
[ DericStorm ]: allo
[ Kidman ]: allo allo
[ Ivy ]: I'm lost on the Chat-magic.
[ DericStorm ]: :weird:
[ Chase ]: Sounds like the start of U2's 'Virtigo'
[ Ivy ]: So you do know some pop-culture.
[ Chase ]: I'm lost -- in general. *drinks beer*
[ Kidman ]: Basically, one or two chat ghosts hovers around.
[ EarlJr ]: looks strangely at Chase
[ Kidman ]: This attracts a third or fourth.
[ DericStorm ]: sliange
[ DericStorm ]: drinks beer
[ Ivy ]: ah... like string theory for Chat.
[ EarlJr ]: U2 is pretty far from Sinatra.
[ Kidman ]: Once three has been achieved, everyone else shows up.
[ Chase ]: Bono sang 'Under My Skin' with Sinatra. That's how I know.
[ DericStorm ]: (I was actually blaring U2 on my way back from where i was watching the basketball games)
[ Ivy ]: *lifts her beer to Chase* a reason for everything.
[ Kidman ]: As I was asleep this morning, nothing happened.
[ Kidman ]: majick.
[ EarlJr ]: but the problem is no one wants to be the first or second one in here.
[ DericStorm ]: uh, i don't have that problem
[ Kidman ]: The job as chat ghost can be lonely.
[ Chase ]: I don't have that problem either, I just blindly click the URL... see what I get.
[ Kidman ]: Usually I have Storm to keep me company.
[ Chase ]: (Being in Europe has its advantages... a few Sundays ago, it was just me and Carmen for hours. -- No innuendo in that statement.)
[ Ivy ]: (I think we may owe this surge in chat progression to Deric and Kidman.)
[ Kidman ]: (bows)
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has left at 1:08 am
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has entered at 1:08 am
[ Chase ]: *hold up beer* Cheers to Storm and Kidman then.
[ DericStorm ]: (*raises arms in triumph*)
[ Kidman ]: (Totally worth it)
[ DericStorm ]: *hold up beer* To Me!!!
[ EarlJr ]: *cheers*
[ Kidman ]: :luck:
[ Ivy ]: to Storm and Kidman. *cheers*
[ Ivy ]: Why am I not surprised to hear Deric yell out "To Me!!" before a toast?
[ Elaine ]: Oh I didn't get a beer haha. But still cheers to you both !
[ DericStorm ]: because i have a sense of humor?
[ Ivy ]: You want one, Elaine?
[ DericStorm ]: she's not of age
[ Chase ]: You can pick, Elaine, beer or rootbeer
[ Connie_Girl ]: tips her beret to Kidman and Deric
[ Chase ]: Green bottle is beer... brown is rootbeer.
[ Ivy ]: Well now techincally seh can only pick rootbeer.
[ Kidman ]: Why does everyone say that?
[ Chase ]: I like to give choices...
[ Chase ]: Even if they can only pick one.
[ Chase ]: Makes us seem fair and... democratic.
[ EarlJr ]: let her take the beer if she wants
[ EarlJr ]: not like it makes a lot of difference around here.
[ Kidman ]: I may not know how old I am, but have had these boobs for a while.
[ Kidman ]: waits for Storm to freak out.
[ DericStorm ]: shrugs
[ Ivy ]: *looks at Kidman's boobs on reflex*
[ Kidman ]: They're in there somewhere.
[ Ivy ]: Do we have anything to eat?
[ Kidman ]: wears very loose clothing.
[ Chase ]: I don't think that qualifies... as anything.
[ Chase ]: Nobody's going to arrest you in here anyway.
[ Kidman ]: Wha...?
[ Elaine ]: *takes beer* Thank you
[ Kidman ]: You're just asking to be flashed, aren't you Chase?
[ DericStorm ]: i have some corned beef in the slow cooker right now
[ Ivy ]: Ha, you get a little bit of beer in him and this is what happens.
[ Ivy ]: Wow, who brought in the slow cooker?
[ Kidman ]: I happen to be very proud of them.
[ EarlJr ]: thanks to Chase reminding me last time, I got some steaks
[ EarlJr ]: they're in the fridge.
[ Ivy ]: Should I get out the grill then?
[ Elaine ]: I can make some dessert for this little shindig too!
[ Kidman ]: You excited, Storm? It's :luck: day!
[ Ivy ]: We do have a decently stocked kitchen, Elaine. Help yourself.
[ Elaine ]: Score! Green Velvet Cupcakes?
[ DericStorm ]: of course
[ Ivy ]: I like the sound of that.
[ Chase ]: Nice, let's grill.
[ Elaine ]: OR Brownies with some mint chips
[ DericStorm ]: and i'm also excited for 4 days after that
[ Ivy ]: *pulls out the grill*
[ Elaine ]: Alright. Partay!
[ Kidman ]: I thought you'd be asleep for 4 days after that.
[ Kidman ]: Look what I can do!
[ Kidman ]: http://www.flickr.com/photos/handmaiden_phi/2244945532/in/set-72157621074696227
[ Ivy ]: That's a lot of four leaf clovers.
[ Kidman ]: Some fives in there
[ Ivy ]: *pours in a bag of charcoal into the grill*
[ EarlJr ]: so what, is five extra lucky?
[ Ivy ]: I think five should be extra lucky.
[ Kidman ]: Not sure. Best I ever got was a 7
[ Ivy ]: The rarer the better, right?
[ Ivy ]: a 7-leaf clover has to be the mother of all luck.
[ EarlJr ]: there's some rare things out there I wouldn't consider lucky
[ Kidman ]: (except that my mother accidentally vacumed it when she picked up the book I was pressing it in)
[ Chase ]: I once found a 7-toed stray cat.
[ Ivy ]: I think that just means you're close to a neuclear facility.
[ Chase ]: Had to be some kind of Chimera defect.
[ Chase ]: it had one green eye, one yellow.
[ Chase ]: And the fur was white, with light stripes down the back.
[ Kidman ]: polydactyl?
[ Chase ]: It probably had different DNA at different points too.
[ EarlJr ]: found it? What did you do with it?
[ Chase ]: My neighbor started feeding it -- this was in Bangkok.
[ Chase ]: And it went from really thin to decently strong.
[ Chase ]: But the 7 toes.... never really helped, climbing was a chore for that one.
[ EarlJr ]: so it came round regularly?
[ Kidman ]: Poor lil' cat.
[ Chase ]: Last time I went back to Bangkok, my neighbor said it's left and never came back.
[ Chase ]: She called it something in Thai that was a loving translation of the word 'weirdo'.
[ Elaine ]: That's sounds awesome...did you get a picture with it at least?
[ Chase ]: I know I probably should have, but didn't seem important at the time.
[ Ivy ]: Ha, a loving translation of the word 'weirdo'.
[ EarlJr ]: http://ianjq.tumblr.com/post/19150820116/this-happened-a-few-weeks-ago-lions-leg-is-all
[ EarlJr ]: speaking of cats
[ Elaine ]: Awh that's unforunate.
[ Chase ]: Heh
[ EarlJr ]: I had a cat a long time ago that disappeared for two weeks. My whole family thought a dog had got him
[ Ivy ]: haha
[ EarlJr ]: then one day, he came home as if nothing ever happened.
[ Elaine ]: Hahahahah that comic is cracked me up
[ Chase ]: Strays in Bangkok were everywhere... couldn't go a few steps without seeing some rare siamese or kink-tail cat in a parking garage.
[ Ivy ]: (laughing at adorable comic, not cat disapperaing)
[ Chase ]: My neighbor once told me about a cat that would only come back to her to get fat... then run away, then return all thin... stays a few more days to get big... and leaves again.
[ Chase ]: It reminded me, for some reason, of a refuling station... that relationship.
[ Kidman ]: The cat had a plan.
[ Kidman ]: And it's late here...so I'm off.
[ EarlJr ]: it knew where the good stuff was
[ Kidman ]: Night all!
[ EarlJr ]: right, bye Kidman
[ DericStorm ]: cats are evil
[ Chase ]: "Cat lady, this is Cat, coming in for a landing on terminal 6; needs a few bags of food and a bit of cat nip... over."
[ Connie_Girl ]: Bye Kidman
[ DericStorm ]: bye, kidman
[ Ivy ]: Night Kidman.
[ Chase ]: Take care, Kidman.
[ Elaine ]: Night Kidman
