Welcome! You have entered [Neutral Grounds] at 1:35 am
[ Kidman ]: Try to always stay in character. (Use parentheses for out-of-character chats.)
[ Chase ]: Kidman, come in.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Kid.
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has entered at 1:35 am
[ Carmen ]: (Ah, well... this works.)
[ Kidman ]: Hullo all.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Woah, this room fills up fast.
[ Chase ]: Heh
[ Chase ]: Carmen.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: gmail trouble?
[ Kidman ]: (Day 7366288364872.3; still sick.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hello Carmen!
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Not today, I believe. Let me attempt a login.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Hey Car-, Hey Kiddo
[Neutral Grounds]: DrRoux has entered at 1:38 am
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: What did your earlier comment mean?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: And the Doc too
[ DrRoux ]: Salut!
[ Kidman ]: Hey Roux.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Hey Doc
[ Chase ]: Roux.
[Neutral Grounds]: Philo has entered at 1:39 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Dr. Roux!
[ Chase ]: (Great work on the last post)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (before I forget, great co-post with Carmen.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Philo!
[ Kidman ]: is not sure how to feel anout Roux's recklessness.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Agreed! Great work!)
[ Kidman ]: (True that)
[ Philo ]: Eh he panicked
[ Philo ]: and Carmen gets dat.....we all get one..
[ Philo ]: but jus' one
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Eh, its VILE, this sort of thing happens...
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: My earlier comment?
[ Philo ]: we can't all be enigmatic hyper intelligent super crominals
[ Kidman ]: loves her team.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: That this was working?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey! I love my team too!
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Yes?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I tried logging in earlier today, but it wasn't working then.
[ Philo ]: speakin' of which. Iwnana get VILE on Facebook goin' again, but I need another admin.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Ah.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *wears Team ACME T-shirt*
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Good post!
[ DrRoux ]: Merci! (The post was a tribute to Carmen's wonderful idea)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: It's certainly a collaboration. :)
[ Kidman ]: wears 'WWCD?' shirt.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I understand the context seemed loose by the time Acton got out of his car.
[ Chase ]: (Just so we're clear -- Roux wasn't driving, right?)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: He...doesn't seem to have had much time with it.
[ Philo ]: for dat matter I wonder if ACMT on Facebook has mandy nay posts lately
[ DrRoux ]: Oui, I cannot operate an automobile.
[ Kidman ]: I knew it!
[ Philo ]: wit' dat mask on, guy's probably got tunnel vision
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Its ok, I'll drive you around anytime
[ Carmen ]: (I believe we did indicate he came out of the 'cabin' door, not the front doors.)
[ Kidman ]: Then...who was driving?
[ Kidman ]: *mystery music*
[ Chase ]: (Philo, I was kicked off Facebook ... maybe Patty can help you?)
[ DrRoux ]: Mon driver.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: He must be very busy.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Poor guy.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Kicked off facebook?)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Why?)
[ DrRoux ]: There are always men and women willing to drive for pay.
[ Chase ]: (Not sure, disappeared one day, that account -- didn't give me any info)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: He wrote it in French, and I translated. But we also didn't want too long a dialog between Carmen and Acton.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: He has 'ulterior' motives, and Carmen is (OOC) never safe with him.
[ Philo ]: (Patty IS the other admin. But SHe hasn't posted.)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: *gasp*
[ Philo ]: (How about you Kidman? Wanna post brain-teasers and news from VILE corporate on Facebook?)
[ Kidman ]: (the text, it burns!)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I will have her part ways with Acton soon, but I did owe him a collaboration for this one.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Wait, OOC?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: To you personally?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: No, to Carmen, I wrote that I mean OOC, not IC.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: *Laughs* Am I being cryptic again on accident?
[ Kidman ]: (Hmm... If I did it it would be full of cornball propoganda.:-))
[ Chase ]: (*closes one eye* just a little)
[ Kidman ]: (Which would be great!)
[ Philo ]: (Just what I want! What's your ID? Did you favorite the page?)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Oh Carmen...;-)
[ Kidman ]: (Wait, getting confused. The TECS FB page?)
[ Chase ]: (VILE FB page)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Kidman has been less than pleased witn these events.
[ Philo ]: (No, there's a spinoff page called 'VILE Henchmen.')
[ Chase ]: (Not Carmen's, the other one.)
[ Philo ]: (gettin' the link
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: So has Carmen, frankly.
[ Kidman ]: (There is?? OMG, I will rock that thing!)
[ Kidman ]: plans so many USSR style posters
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: She doesn't quite appreciate Dr. Roux showing up without warning... and in this manner.
[ Carmen ]: (I'd love to see that.)
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has entered at 1:52 am
[ DrRoux ]: moi aussi
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: One small accident would have gottn the police involved.
[ DrRoux ]: Bonjour Sophie.
[ Philo ]: (147 people like the page. I should short the URL)
[ Scarlet ]: Bonjour Acton.
[ Scarlet ]: Good evening, everyone.
[ Chase ]: (you should)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Kidman was just cringing when the fountain got knicked.
[ Chase ]: Sophie, come in.
[ Kidman ]: (So cool)
[ Philo ]: (Somebody did short the URL. It's https://www.facebook.com/VILEhq)
[ Chase ]: (Must have been Patts)
[ Carmen ]: Welcome, Doctor Conrad.
[ Scarlet ]: You and Carmen did beautifully in the post, Acton. :)
[ Carmen ]: How goes your work?
[ Philo ]: (I'd like to keep that page up but I'm awfulbusy with loads of other blog related projects.)
[ Kidman ]: Because at VILE, we aim to provide our clients with a bold, confident sense that they are getting the very best the underworld has to offer.
[ Philo ]: (Like that page, Kidman, and I'll add you as an admin.)
[ DrRoux ]: Merci, Sophie, although I had written so little.
[ DrRoux ]: (We will see a post from you soon, non?)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: *Laughs* That was one of my favourite parts to write.
[ Kidman ]: (Hmm...I'm getting 'page not found'
[ Chase ]: (facebook.com/vilehq)?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ...wait just catching up here...
[Neutral Grounds]: Philo has left at 1:57 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: there is a fan page, of a fan page...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: it's like fan page-ception.
[Neutral Grounds]: Philo has entered at 1:57 am
[ Philo ]: (try copypaste the URL?)
[ Philo ]: https://www.facebook.com/VILEhq
[ Kidman ]: Yeay!
[ Kidman ]: I got it!
[ Kidman ]: ...can I make us a neat logo?
[ Philo ]: (Annie Knipping, right?)
[ Scarlet ]: (VILE Henchmen...)
[ Scarlet ]: (And the women?)
[ Kidman ]: (One 'n')
[ Kidman ]: Anie
[ Philo ]: (It's your playground now.)
[ Carmen ]: I like your oddity, Daniel Ainsworth.
[ Kidman ]: yesssssssssssss
[ Philo ]: (You're deputized. Have fun.)
[ Philo ]: (Also, don't forget to do the occasional edutainment quiz. It's what we do.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Thank you Carmen. I try.
[ Carmen ]: Are you geared towards working as ACME's idea man?
[ Carmen ]: Or are you prepped for fieldwork?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Wouldn't give myself that much credit.
[ Chase ]: Dan -- don't talk to the criminal mastermind.
[ Kidman ]: (I promise to ensure the quality information that VILE has come to be known for the world over.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (At the moment, Mr. G has Chase's ear as idea man.)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I figured anything regarding the cars was your favourite part to write.;-)
[ Kidman ]: Mr. G is Chase's shoulder devil.
[ Kidman ]: :evil:
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has entered at 2:02 am
[ Chase ]: Assuming I needed one.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Deric!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: awesome!
[ Kidman ]: Hey stormy!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Would that make Ms. Ivy Chase's shoulder angel?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *Miss
[ DericStorm ]: hey everybody
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: But of course. I debated whether she would get another motorcycle and drive alone to Djerba.
[ Kidman ]: Actually, yes, I think Ivy fits.
[ Carmen ]: Welcome, Deric.
[ Kidman ]: I must draw this.
[ Kidman ]: No!
[ Chase ]: I don't know, Ivy's been quiet as of late.
[ Chase ]: Storm, come in.
[ Kidman ]: I must draw tiny Ivy and Euge fighting atop Chase's head!
[ DericStorm ]: (thanks, can't stay long. just wanted to see who was in here. will be back in about 3 hours)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (lol)
[ Carmen ]: I believe Ivy has been whispering, but you haven't been listening.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Ivy and Mr. G fighting would be pretty awesome.
[ Chase ]: Sure, like you've been whispering for ages...
[ Kidman ]: She should try kicking you.
[ Kidman ]: I would endorse that.
[ Chase ]: She already hit me, Ivy.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: She hit you? When?
[ Carmen ]: Was her voice more audible then?
[ Kidman ]: She should try kicking you more.
[ Chase ]: No, to this day, I'm still not sure what she was mad about.
[ DrRoux ]: perhaps mlle Ivy needs a better way to get her words across
[ DericStorm ]: i can go so many ways witht hat, Chase
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: ;-) So...what I don't understand is why the plane crash puts Carmen in so much danger that Roux must hunt her down to tell her, especially as this is public knowledge that Carmen will surely find soon enough.
[ Philo ]: (I just posted about you
[ DericStorm ]: and they all would probably get me smacked
[ Philo ]: Kidman, you're all set to take over)
[ DericStorm ]: (about me?)
[ Chase ]: And you're free too, Deric... because I won't be smacking you...
[ DericStorm ]: you're not the one i'm worried about smacking me, Chase
[ Kidman ]: Stormy is heartbroken, Chase.
[ Scarlet ]: Deric, we can always count on you to go in many ways...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Awww, Ivy's not here to hit you though
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: It makes no sound sense, of course.
[ DericStorm ]: she'll find out. she always does
[ Kidman ]: (Cheers, mate! Fun starts tonight.;-))
[ DericStorm ]: (gtg. later)
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has left at 2:09 am
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: But Dr. Roux is hoping it gives him the excuse to do what he does.
[ Kidman ]: Bye Deric
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Later D--
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: nevermind.
[ Chase ]: That almost sounded like he was escaping Ivy.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Inject Carmen with the elixar of life?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: He would not be the first man to do so.
[ Chase ]: *Shouts to Deric's back* Next time, use the stairs, Storm -- the stairs!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (LOL)
[ Scarlet ]: Oh, he went out the window too?
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs*
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I understand he wants to be in the story, but...I don't know. I just like things to make sense.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: There had to have been a way that he could have made it make sense.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: In RPs like these, a character often pays for things later if they don't make sense.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Dr. Roux's goals is to meet Carmen, but he won't have everything he wants.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: True, but I'd rather it not jepardize you in the process.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: He's made sacrifices to his own story by coming to her.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: He's not an official VILE agent, merely a research doctor.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I see...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *checks the stocks in the fridge*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: we're still good.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Anyone want anything?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I should have known you had an angle.;-)
[ Philo ]: Beer me.
[ Chase ]: Just water today.
[ Philo ]: It's 6pm somewhere...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I'm all set
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *gets a beer for Philo*
[ Kidman ]: You guys! http://www.theseventhstarprojects.com/circles.jpg
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Water... I think we still have those sponsored bottles.
[ Philo ]: Ah Lowebrou....the beer that gave St. Louis the blues...
[ Carmen ]: (What is that?)
[ Philo ]: you got good tast Dan.
[ Chase ]: (The Carmen logo and Dick Tracy)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I was comparing Devy to Dick Tracy earlier in the week
[ Philo ]: It's not stealin' it homage
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *nods to Philo*
[ Chase ]: What? Why?
[ Kidman ]: And I had an idea!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Here Boss, one water bottle.
[ Chase ]: I don't look anything like that do-gooder.
[ Chase ]: Thanks Dan
[ Kidman ]: spits out water and laughs
[ Philo ]: tall...square jawed...handsome
[ Philo ]: nothin' like that
[ Scarlet ]: You don't see yourself as a "do-gooder" then?
[ Scarlet ]: One would almost be surprised...
[ Kidman ]: throws another star at Chase
[ DrRoux ]: A oui, I agree with Dr. Sophie.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Boss has a dark side now.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ...it's what happens when the force is too strong.
[ Kidman ]: But you in your yellow hat/coat and Master in her red hat/coat could be condiments together!
[ Philo ]: Revenge is a dish best served cold...and acme likes dem some gazpacho..
[ Carmen ]: I'm not sure yellow suits him.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: It goes with his hair
[ Kidman ]: Catsup and mustard forever!
[ Chase ]: None of the above was really a compliment...
[ Philo ]: I alwasy thought deh theme from the cartoon stole a bit from deh theme from deh gameshow.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: not even the gazpacho thing?
[ Kidman ]: So...Chase, you don't do good?
[ Philo ]: Buuuuuuut...it's hard not to describe Carmen without rattlin' off a big list of locations and stolen stuff
[ Chase ]: This isn't about vengeance.
[ Philo ]: Keeep tellin' yourself dat
[ Kidman ]: Okay, so not good, and not vengance, then what?
[ Carmen ]: I think he was using 'do-gooder' in the ironic sense.
[ Carmen ]: Unfortunately, he now can't get himself out of the corner he's written into.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I love that you made him take off his mask.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: And I was rather specific about it.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Well thats why its good to shake things up once in a while
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: If he was to come see her and break the rules, she will make him break his most important rule.
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Scarlet ]: He tends to do that, doesn't he?
[ Scarlet ]: Back himself up into corners...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Anyone can write themselves into a corner
[ Scarlet ]: If Eugene were here, he might blow a hole in the wall for you to sneak through, Director...
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has entered at 2:22 am
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Write a character long enough and you can get stuck
[ Philo ]: Hey Iv'
[ Chase ]: Not in a corner.
[ Ivy ]: Nice crowd.
[ Chase ]: Ivy, come in.
[ Ivy ]: Hey Philo.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Kidman has great schadenfreude from that, which she feels guilty about now.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: had
[ Philo ]: How's deh new bike?
[ Ivy ]: Hey Chase.
[ Scarlet ]: Hello, Ivy... :)
[ Ivy ]: The bike runs like dream.
[ Carmen ]: While we let Chase smolder... Ivy, welcome.
[ Ivy ]: Can't thank you enough.
[ Kidman ]: Hey Ivy!
[ Ivy ]: Hey Doc Sophie and hello Carmen.
[ DrRoux ]: Salut Ivy.
[ Kidman ]: You have benn declared Chase's shoulder angel.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Ivy!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Hey Ivy
[ Kidman ]: been
[ Ivy ]: Shoulder angel?
[ Ivy ]: of Chase?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Its a shame she got that spot... I'd sit on Devy's shoulder any day.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: shoots Chase a wink
[ Kidman ]: lulz
[ Ivy ]: ...I think I'm not doing a very good job then.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Mr. G is his shoulder devil.
[ Philo ]: Eh sure it is a smooth, smart, economioc ride...It's not fer me though...It ain't a chopper unless it growls...
[ Ivy ]: *To Dan* Oh yeah, that fits.
[ Kidman ]: http://reviewsontheside.com/reviews/images/emperors_new_groove.jpg
[ Sarah-Nade ]: What, riding on Chase's shoulder?
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Chase ]: *just understood what Sarah implied*
[ Ivy ]: Philo, to each their own. But you did do a kickass job with the engines.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (don't think too dirty on that statement, we're keeping it PG)
[ Kidman ]: Hmmm...some photo manipulation must commence...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (mind is preoccupied with what Sarah just said.)
[ Kidman ]: Oh Chase.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (lol, I win)
[ Kidman ]: gives Sarah a star.
[ Chase ]: (heh)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Would be sort of fun to argue with him over it in a collab...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I sometimes wonder if I should stop flirting with the 'good cops'... and then things like this happen and I remember why I started in the first place
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Ah, but would she find out? I believe Dr. Roux is also himself ashamed of his moves.
[ Kidman ]: But he's not a do-gooded, so it's okay.:-)
[ Kidman ]: gooder
[ Carmen ]: You shouldn't stop, it's vastly entertaining.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: True. At least I should hope so.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Is he?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: sighs and shakes her head
[ DrRoux ]: Also entertaining, non? When a person takes words literally.
[ Ivy ]: I don't think anyone else gets Chase as speechless... except maybe Carmen.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Mm, it's not giving him the results he's expecting, certainly.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Well Carmen's had a head start on that...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I've got to catch up
[ Carmen ]: *deeper voice* Honey, I've been doing this a long time.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I know he must have agreed to this OOC, yes?
[ Chase ]: (That, for some reason, gave me chills...)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (ok, THAT made me laugh)
[ Kidman ]: s.dies
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs*
[ DrRoux ]: (rs rs, bravo!)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Yes.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: For him, a meeting with her was more important.
[ Ivy ]: (Props to Carmen!)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Oh I know, dear, and I bow to your expertise...
[ Philo ]: Enought to melt a mozzarella stick...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: But sometimes a girl just has to have fun with a cop... in a mostly family friendly way...
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Sacrifices.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ( I am incredibly jealous of Chase.)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Correct.
[ Chase ]: Don't be, Dan... trust me, don't be.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: But don't know if I would be so hastey as to write a meeting that would actually endanger you.
[ Carmen ]: He jests, I'm almost certain none of this keeps him up at night.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Awww, if you want DA to be fair game I can play it up with him too :) Its all in good fun, I promise)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Priorities, yes?
[ Chase ]: "almost certain"?
[ Carmen ]: Mm, emphatically. I don't deal in absolutes.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Well I doubt *my* actions keep him up at night...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: looks over to Carmen with a smile
[ DrRoux ]: Unless it is for me to take off mon mask, non?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (ha, nah I don't think I could keep up with the banter.)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: He did come out of the car first to stop her.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (okie dokie :) )
[ Kidman ]: You shouldn't have chased her...
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Instead of continue the pursuit so it escalates into something out of control.
[ Kidman ]: *grumble*
[ DrRoux ]: I had the driver to follow her, she was speeding.
[ Philo ]: I don't think Dan would go for you Sarah.
[ Philo ]: He's got...
[ Philo ]: well...
[ Chase ]: Carmen doesn't like being followed as much as she makes it sound like she does.
[ Philo ]: It's just different for him
[ Kidman ]: decides it's best to hold her tongue.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I know, I know...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Besides, didn't he and Patty...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: makes vague motions with her hands
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: True, but the odds of him getting that oppertunity were small.
[ Carmen ]: Nonsense, I thrive on pursuit.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: hey now
[ Philo ]: Didn't he and patty.....turn on the TV with a remote control?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: But I'm getting picky.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Well I mean weren't you two... a...
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Or rather, Kidman is.
[ Scarlet ]: (I'm so generally amused now I have no idea where to direct that amusement.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: makes more vague motions
[ Philo ]: It wouldn't work with Dan and Patty either...he's...of an alternative lifestle...
[ Chase ]: Patty and Dan?
[ Philo ]: marriage works a bit different in his culture
[ Sarah-Nade ]: suddenly thinks she understands
[ Sarah-Nade ]: OH!
[ Philo ]: He'll find the right person one day...
[ Kidman ]: Are you gay, DA?
[ Philo ]: WhaT?!
[ Philo ]: NO!
[ Philo ]: He's jewish!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: What?
[ Chase ]: *To Dan* You as confused as I am?
[ Kidman ]: Oh!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Oh... that what I thought you were meaning
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I'm jewish?
[ Philo ]: ....I thought you were
[ Sarah-Nade ]: What the hell alternative lifestyle are we talking about then?!
[ Philo ]: He can't flirt with you OR patti because you're not Jewish!@
[ Chase ]: Dan isn't Jewish...
[ Chase ]: Was it the beard?
[ Ivy ]: ...though I'm surprised that's what he choose to answer to.
[ Kidman ]: LULZ
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Why can't he? I like good jewish boys...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I mean I like alot of 'good boys' but jewish are cool too
[ Philo ]: well, dis is all jus' my mistake den
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *scratches beard*
[ Kidman ]: That beard is sending out weird signals, DA.
[ Philo ]: it's not jus' deh beard, I heard you go 'oy gevalt' toards Patty once.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: In other news, my first book signing is today.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Ok, overall point being Patty's laid dibs on Danny-boy
[ Scarlet ]: (I'm sorry, I need to leave. Have a good Saturday, everyone.)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'm still sick, so I hope it goes well.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: and despite alternative things heard I respect that
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has left at 2:43 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Wait no, no dibs.
[ Kidman ]: Bye love
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (Bye Doc)
[ Chase ]: Night Sophie
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Devy however is open season
[ Carmen ]: Be well, Doctor.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: so is Euge those rare time I see him but he's not as fun to get riled up
[ DrRoux ]: Bonsoir!
[ Chase ]: (Lag is hitting us)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (agreed)
[ Ivy ]: Bye Sophie.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: test
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: test
[ Kidman ]: space.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: okay... sorry, my typing wasn't showing up a second ago.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *()
[ Kidman ]: the finale frontier.
[ Kidman ]: Have you tried hitting on Stormy?
[ Kidman ]: Oh! Hit on Branflakes!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Never figured Sarah to have a thing for good-guys.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: All the best to that, darling.
[ Kidman ]: That'll confuse him.
[ Carmen ]: Sarah has a very interesting 'thing' for good-guys.
[ Philo ]: She used to date deh other kind but they all turnedo ut ot be losers..
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Think of it more as window shopping
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Deric is dating a bomb expert isn't he? Not really the kind of girl you want angry at you.
[ Philo ]: say compared to being VILE your average tattooed mohawked punker looks like a panywaist
[ Carmen ]: I'm afraid to say Mr. Brychan is too hollow a character to be 'hit on.'
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Deric says he's actually got some work done on his post.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Are we waiting on him?
[ Ivy ]: He might just go quiet.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (ok, I have to ask - WHO plays Bran?)
[ Chase ]: (Also, he's written by a girl... Bran, different reaction, really.)
[ Kidman ]: Awww, but Flakes is fun...
[ Chase ]: (Connie is Bran... and Miss Quita)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (Connie plays Bran... or Bran plays Connie which ever way you want to take it.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Connie... Connie... )
[ Chase ]: (Connie tells me Bran is her strongest character, but I'm not sure how to tell her that he's not... a strong character.)
[ Kidman ]: He's got his thing. I'm still working on him.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: He needs some time to bloom
[ Kidman ]: She's just being really slow on releasing information.
[ Philo ]: into a gorgeous weed
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Does he have a side he's on?
[ DrRoux ]: I have read his posts, the Bran posts sound like he is trying to be too much.
[ Kidman ]: Read the last ep of Adventures with Bran.
[ Chase ]: Bran's ACME.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Ok
[ Kidman ]: He slips up a bit at the end.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I asked him 3 times and got no answer
[ Chase ]: He's been asking how he can play in Paradigm Shift... but I don't know how he can... honestly.
[ Philo ]: if he was a clever enough writer he could figure it
[ Chase ]: He's not an agent, he's just... 'rich' and has 'connections'... none of which I really need.
[ Philo ]: (I know I will, when I add Ken in later)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Some of us are, I believe.
[ Chase ]: Exactly, good characters have their own ideas...
[ Ivy ]: That's the thing, and his odd evilness makes it hard for the rest of ACME to trust him.
[ DrRoux ]: A oui... I did not fit in so well as Dr. Roux, but we have made changes to that in the way he enters the story.
[ Carmen ]: I do agree with Ivy.
[ Philo ]: The characterisation is kinda....stock...for mysteries though
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Unlike Sammy who put herself in ACME, so other agents can find her as well... no one can really interact with Bran.
[ Philo ]: jus' turn off thel ight on him he'll wind up dead
[ Kidman ]: [ Kidman ]: What happened?
...[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: He was shot
...[ Kidman ]: 8s
...[ Kidman ]: Dude.
...[ Kidman ]: Why?
...[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: He was trying to expose corruption in the many beauracracies of the world
...[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: He tried to use his money to make a better world
...[ Kidman ]: ...
...[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: And he received a bullet in his head because of this.
...[ Kidman ]: ...easier to hide, isn't it?
...[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: He tried to use the courts to expose corruption
...[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: But the courts are corrupt
...[ Kidman ]: You taking up the reins now?
...[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Taking up the reins?
...[ Kidman ]: Picking up where he left off? Or going as far in the opposite direction as you can?
...[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Do I have to answer?
...[ Kidman ]: Nah... You just did.
[ Chase ]: I have nothing much to say to that.
[ Kidman ]: That's the farthest I've gotten
[ Carmen ]: Do give Connie some time, I'm sure she can flesh out Bran.
[ Ivy ]: I like Connie.
[ DrRoux ]: I am now finding Bran's story less interesting.
[ Kidman ]: Also, this;
[ DrRoux ]: A oui, j'adore Connie aussi.
[ Kidman ]: [ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Right
...[ Kidman ]: leans against wall.
...[ Kidman ]: You aren't the only one...
...[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I hope ACME is not corrupt....
...[ Kidman ]: To my knowledge, no more than anyplace else.
...[ Kidman ]: But that's why you should respect Chase.
...[ Kidman ]: If anyone is keeping ACME from going dark, it's him.
...[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Yes, I believe Chase is an excellent leader.
...[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: I would follow him anywhere with trust.
...[ Kidman ]: Even our side likes him.
...[ Kidman ]: So... yeah. Leave his chair alone.
[ Chase ]: (heh -- that chair)
[ Kidman ]: We love you, Chase.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: woah hold your penguins.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: How can he be trying to use his power to stop corruption...
[ Carmen ]: Penguins...?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: when he imprisons people in his manor?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Is he good or evil?
[ Carmen ]: A valid point, Mr. Ainsworth.
[ Kidman ]: Yeah...I have no idea.
[ Kidman ]: You got me.
[ Carmen ]: But it's not one for us to purpose a solution.
[ Kidman ]: I'll poke her next I see her.
[ Carmen ]: First of all, 'corruption' is an extremely wide term.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Yeah, but he calls it 'the dark'
[ Carmen ]: It's both vertically integrated into society and horizontally spread.
[ Kidman ]: loves it when Master talks smart
[ Carmen ]: What Connie needs to do is more specifically consider what angle she wishes to represent corruption to Bran.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I feel bad for Bran and MC.
[ Carmen ]: Stopping all sorts of corruption seems rather fruitless.
[ Chase ]: Agreed on that.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: They remind me of me back in the day.
[ Chase ]: The angle counts most.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: There are these subtle rules as to how cohesion works.
[ Chase ]: For now, I'm willing to forgive anything Bran wrote should Connie wants to build him more in a direction.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: As long as they stay, they'll learn.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I spent my life studying the currents to grasp this stuff. It seems so obvious now, but it really isn't before hand.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: We all started somewhere, dear.

[ Kidman ]: gives Chase ANOTHER star.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I'm sure both would have been ignored on other sites.
[ Carmen ]: How many has Chase collected?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Chase will soon be a galaxy of Kidman's approval.
[ Chase ]: I don't know... but the astrology department is starting to ask for them to make models of constellations.
[ Kidman ]: I know! I should actually start keeping track!
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs*
[ DrRoux ]: Bon, lovely that laughter.
[ Kidman ]: (I need outside time. See you later, loves!)
