Welcome! You have entered [Neutral Grounds] at 3:06 am
[ Kidman ]: Try to always stay in character. (Use parentheses for out-of-character chats.)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: 190 centimeter?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei, Kid!
[ Contessa ]: Hello again Kidman.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: 182, Anja.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Heya Kidman!
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: I trust you are good size, Mr. Dan. They shall only reach to the thigh.
[ EarlJr ]: hey Kidman
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Sure... I can use them for Christmas.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: hands Danny a 'pair' of knee-high socks, one green and one purple.
[ Scarlet ]: I do like that colour combination.
[ Kidman ]: Hey mates!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Thanks!
[ Chase ]: Might work on you, Dan.
[ Chase ]: Kidman, come in.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: For really?! Then shall I give you the matches, after I find them in my bureau.
[ Kidman ]: I'm sorta here, sorta not.
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has entered at 3:09 am
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Miss Carmen!
[ Chase ]: The chat's just started.
[ DericStorm ]: now it's a party
[ Kidman ]: Are we talking about...socks?
[ Carmen ]: Greetings, all around.
[ EarlJr ]: gifts in general
[ Kidman ]: Master's here! Yeay!
[ Carmen ]: Socks?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Morosocks, also.
[ Scarlet ]: Good evening, Miss Sandiego.
[ Chase ]: Started about the Patek Philippe, I need my watch back.
[ Carmen ]: Ah, of course, I'm sure it's with the Wellers.
[ Contessa ]: Hello Carmen.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey Carmen!
[ Carmen ]: Adrianna, lovely to see you're up and about.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Morning love.
[ Chase ]: Also, synic's back, but she's still off -- something about the response if you type "Carmen Sandiego"
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ...
[ Kidman ]: Master just blows her mind.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: That is a strange strange strange response.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, odd.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Let's play Q & A
[ Carmen ]: Have you tried typing "Chase Devineaux"?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: We have plenty of people
[ Chase ]: Why?
[ EarlJr ]: yep. Doesn't produce the same reaction
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: What is Q & A?
[ Chase ]: And sure, yeah, let's do Q & A.
[ EarlJr ]: 'Carmen' is the only thing that will elicit that particular reaction
[ EarlJr ]: at least, the only thing I've found so far.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: We just take turns asking hypothetical questions. (And you must answer in character.)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Good morning, dear.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: How are you today?
[ EarlJr ]: sounds good
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Helps everyone get to know eachother better.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: We'll take turns, but anyone not active can be skipped.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I'll start first with something simple. What is your favorite food?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Pannekaker!
[ Chase ]: Does everybody have to answer, even the asker?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Quite well. Quite allergic to everything.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: You?
[ EarlJr ]: the asker has immunity
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Yes, event the asker.
[ DericStorm ]: my favorite food is anything i cook
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Well, okay the asker can answer if s/he wants.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: but has the option to skip.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: allergies acting up?
[ Kidman ]: But then everyone will skip!
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: The curse of the maples.
[ Carmen ]: One can only skip if one is the asker?
[ Scarlet ]: I think everyone should answer.
[ Scarlet ]: Why should the asker be immune from his/her own question?
[ Carmen ]: Mm, I'm inclined to agree with the doctor.
[ Scarlet ]: If you wish to ask it, you shouldn't be afraid to answer it.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: well this would encourage people to ask riskier questions.
[ Scarlet ]: Isn't that part of the fun of this game?
[ Kidman ]: Everyone must answer.
[ Scarlet ]: Doing risky things that wouldn't happen in threads, otherwise?
[ Kidman ]: It is the law.
[ Kidman ]: You guys like law, right?
[ Chase ]: Eggs benedict... but not too much vinegar and has to be toasted English muffins... also poached eggs have to be poached... not softboiled.
[ Carmen ]: I'm surprised you didn't add the size of the eggs, Chase.
[ Contessa ]: croquembouche.
[ Chase ]: I prefer number 1 to 0, size 2 eggs are too small.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Mine is meatball sub.
[ Scarlet ]: Fondue.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (I had to google croquembouche.)
[ Carmen ]: Macaroons
[ EarlJr ]: halibut. Especially if it's one I've caught.
[ Kidman ]: Is this breakfast?
[ Chase ]: Food, I think -- anything.
[ Chase ]: I just like breakfast.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Kidman?
[ Scarlet ]: Fondue, and plum ice cream.
[ Scarlet ]: Has everyone given their answer?
[ Kidman ]: Macaroni and Cheese.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Breakfast is best! *briefly puts her arm around Chase's neck*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Kidman hasn't.
[ EarlJr ]: breakfast foods are awesome. That's where you get the calories to keep you going.
[ Scarlet ]: Detective Storm, I believe you're up next - now that Kidman has answered.
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has entered at 3:23 am
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei, Ivy!
[ Ivy ]: Hey!
[ Chase ]: Ivy, get in here, what's your favorite food?
[ Ivy ]: *knocks at the door frame*
[ Ivy ]: What now?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (sorry just saw Kidman's mac and cheese)
[ Chase ]: Q&A, just answer, so we can move on.
[ EarlJr ]: hey Ivy. Welcome to the Q&A session.
[ Ivy ]: I feel like I just walked into a game show.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Well you did! Tell us Ms. Monagahn... what is your favorite food??
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I posted our collab. I haven't seen Kerr as of late.
[ EarlJr ]: This is Dan's show. We all just got roped into it.
[ Ivy ]: Cheese burger with fries. Homemade, not fast food.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I'm glad you posted.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Nice.
[ EarlJr ]: excellent.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I'm sure Mr. Kerr is on a different timezone.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Okay, who's next?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Are we going on real names, or user names?)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Alphabetically it's Deric Storm.
[ Chase ]: (Chat lists the names according to entry)
[ Chase ]: (we can go by that too)
[ Ivy ]: Chat list names is easier... so we always know who's next.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: okay agreed.
[ EarlJr ]: (let's stick with alpha in case of a boot)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: So Kidman is next.
[ Chase ]: Kidman's up, then.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (in case of boot, just skip to the next guy)
[ Kidman ]: Hmm..
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: tic tock
[ Kidman ]: What is your favourite passtime?
[ EarlJr ]: at the risk of sounding cliche, flying.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Ishockey!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Making weird stuff at ACME labs.
[ Contessa ]: I think this was covered... big game hunting with a javelin.
[ Carmen ]: Does simply travelling count?
[ Ivy ]: Competition martial arts.
[ Chase ]: Travel counts.
[ Kidman ]: How did I know Ivy's would be 'kicking people'?
[ Ivy ]: Because you know me so well.
[ Chase ]: Uh... favourite passtime is probably tinkering with something until it works.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: That makes sense, boss.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I do believe he hails from Singapore
[ DericStorm ]: well, i enjoy volleyball, hanging out with my dog and long walks/jogs on the beach
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Doc Sophie?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: and Kidman?
[ DericStorm ]: looks for his "Bachelor #2" sign
[ Kidman ]: Hanging out on the roof.
[ Ivy ]: That can go right in the classifieds, Deric.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Doc Sophie?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: did we loose her?
[ Scarlet ]: Exploration.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: cool.
[ Scarlet ]: (Sorry, juggling multiple tabs.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Carmen is up next.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: How goes it on your end?
[ Carmen ]: Mm, have you ever had to change drastically in terms of personality, and if so, when?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ...wow tough one.
[ DericStorm ]: no. if i can't be me around you, i don't want to be around you
[ EarlJr ]: nope, not that I can remember
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Don't think so in my case. Imma just your normal ACME agent.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: It goes slowly.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Nothing exciting to report, sadly.
[ Contessa ]: Yes. My second husband... and that phase in my life was short lived.
[ Kidman ]: Coming out of hiding was terribly hard, but I knew I had to be someone eventually.
[ Carmen ]: I did think his camping in your 'backyard' was refreshing.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: No fancy dinner parties?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I say, did you used to work for the UN?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I did, yes, as a translator among minor things.
[ Contessa ]: Things can only be refreshing until they get old, darling.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I find this very interesting.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: ...When I first played with Florø Jenter ishockey team, I tried. But I could not so long.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Was it here in the states?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: I have changed almost never.
[ Ivy ]: Yeah, I think it was when I left ACME SF to Hong Kong. No more brother/sister teaming up.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Ah no, it was with the European sector.
[ Kidman ]: Something tells me I'm going to be warped even further in the coming months.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Should we wait for Doc Sophie?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'm sure you have, but have you ever been stateside?
[ Carmen ]: Your Director hasn't responded either.
[ Scarlet ]: The Director hasn't answered.
[ Scarlet ]: Neither has the Lady in Red.
[ Chase ]: Right... uh, I used to be decently irrational, now I'm not.
[ DericStorm ]: that was cryptic
[ Carmen ]: Brava on that.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (sorry thought Carmen answered and say Kidman's grey as Chase.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (*saw)
[ Scarlet ]: I'm afraid I can't think of any drastic personality change I've had to make.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I think that break from the bro/sister team really made Ivy grow up. (different from the cartoons I mean.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Don't want to elaborate, boss?
[ Chase ]: I have to elaborate?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Not really... just thought you might.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Carmen?
[ Carmen ]: I've had several shifts in my lifetime, but more importantly, I learned to let go of things... holding on was simply too heavy.
[ Carmen ]: Chase's elaboration would only be a waste of time.
[ Scarlet ]: Is this an ideology change, or a personality change we speak of?
[ Carmen ]: Personality.
[ Scarlet ]: I suppose a change of ideology would translate into one at a personality level...
[ Carmen ]: At one time, I was a perfectionist. Now, I could care less as long as things follow a natural order.
[ Chase ]: Also, getting rid of the jeans was a nice touch.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: :whistle:
[ Carmen ]: Your comment is a few years late, but thank you, all the same.
[ Kidman ]: Master is masterful, as always.
[ Chase ]: Yeah, few years too late.
[ Chase ]: Ivy's up.
[ Ivy ]: Mine will be easy. What's your favorite piece of clothing?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I have a shot of my camilia before the squirrels ate it;
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: http://www.flickr.com/photos/handmaiden_phi/6896451996/
[ Chase ]: Boots... must be clean, at all times.
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has entered at 3:50 am
[ Kidman ]: Carmen hat.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hallo, Sara!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: QUICK SARAH! what's your favorite piece of clothing!
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *Sarah
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Ah, terrible squirrels.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: fishnets
[ DericStorm ]: depending on the season, it's either my notre dame sweatshirt or my jacket
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Morosocks!
[ EarlJr ]: my plate carrier
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Mine will be my glasses.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Hey Anja
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Afternoon everyone
[ Scarlet ]: Good afternoon.
[ EarlJr ]: do glasses count as clothing?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: It's that or my Batman T-shirt...
[ Carmen ]: The hat, but of course.
[ Contessa ]: Hard to simply pick one piece.
[ Kidman ]: New pink for Sarah!
[ Contessa ]: I have a silk scarf that I'm very fond of. It's proven indispensible.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: It fluctuates
[ Chase ]: Hats count too?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: usually based on what colors other people are rocking
[ Scarlet ]: If we are to include accessories... It's a ring, of course.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: :mean: Hats count, Mr. Chase.
[ Chase ]: All right, all right, hats count.
[ Ivy ]: I guess mine are the tank tops... worn with anything, anytime.
[ DericStorm ]: are talking about that little sparkler on your left hand, Pippi?
[ Chase ]: Sarah's up on my list.
[ Scarlet ]: Oh no, another one... one I received much earlier.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Aye.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I was once stateside to visit my sister, before she left the US.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: So have you been to the US?
[ Scarlet ]: But, Miss Nade - do ask us a question.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: on your list...?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Majik
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: And also in Arizona for a brief conference.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Chat order)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I say...did you ever get a chance to read?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Ok, repeat question before with a bigger crowd: which member of the opposite team do you think you're most like
[ Chase ]: (right, chat orders people by entry)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I keep my answer the same... Joe Kerr.
[ Chase ]: Most like? In terms of physical or mental?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: You can answer both if you like
[ Sarah-Nade ]: but mostly mental/emotional
[ Chase ]: Because there's really only one person I could match wits with... but we're nothing alike physically.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I think Chase = Carmen
[ Carmen ]: That answer is somewhat set then.
[ Kidman ]: I guess Nevon?
[ Contessa ]: I can't say much, but I have been told Eugene has a certain sense of self preservation that I attribute to myself.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Read?
[ EarlJr ]: I think everyone around here has already answered this one for me
[ EarlJr ]: but for the sake of clarification, Adrianna
[ Ivy ]: Mine is Sarah Nade.
[ Chase ]: I agree with that one, Ivy.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (I'm afraid Anja will sit this one out.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: ironically I said you too Ivy, though Deric in my younger years
[ Ivy ]: Ha. I guess great minds think alike.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: A new post, dear?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I think we also matched Sophie with Dr. Roux
[ Chase ]: Another good one, easy too since they're doctors.
[ Scarlet ]: Is that based purely on profession, then?
[ DericStorm ]: i would say because i like to keep things light, the clown
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Oh no... I meant my book.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Nah, I'm not ansering for you Doc. Just an opinion.
[ Chase ]: No, there's also the fact that both you and Roux have a french background... and you're both decently quiet.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: and highly intelligent
[ Chase ]: I'll neglect the "Swiss" part of your French for now, Sophie.
[ Contessa ]: I think the doctor should be able to answer for herself.
[ Carmen ]: I'm sure that goes without mention.
[ Chase ]: Do we all need to answer before moving on?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Yes.
[ Chase ]: Then Anja, doc Sophie, give us names.
[ Ivy ]: Unless we pass. But yes.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (I can't. There is no one who matches Anja on ACME.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (I'm sure you can think of one.)
[ Chase ]: (Nevon might work.)
[ Scarlet ]: I have no satisfactory answer. I will pass.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Tanya was the closest I got.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (actually yeah, let's not pass--seems a bit unfair.)
[ Chase ]: (I know Kidman already said him, but I think Nevon sounds like Anja sometimes.)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Tanya as the closest answer works.
[ Chase ]: (what about Cali?)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Definitely not Cali.)
[ Chase ]: Sophie, you can't pass.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (just your own opinion of who is most like you.)
[ Chase ]: You said so yourself in the beginning, everyone must answer.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (can be for whatever reason.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: If its going to cause issues then don't stress over it
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: OK. Tanya. She is blond, and her name rhymes with Anja. *giggles*
[ Chase ]: Rules are rules.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (lol)
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Nice one, Anja.
[ Scarlet ]: looks at the Director.
[ Kidman ]: I really don't know if I'm even close to matching anyone else here.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: ok, who's next
[ Ivy ]: Anja and Tanya... that's adorable.
[ Carmen ]: Chase is next... if it suits him.
[ Chase ]: I'm waiting for an answer.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *hears western music*
[ Carmen ]: Chase, please.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Miss Sophie is like Miss Carmen.
[ Carmen ]: It's going to take all evening.
[ Chase ]: I can do this all day.
[ Carmen ]: Laisser tomber, I'll make it worth your while.
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Carmen ]: Come on, let's go.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (take the offer! take the offer!)
[ Chase ]: Fine.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (and Sarah's dirty mouth is silenced again...)
[ Chase ]: Your favorite destination.
[ Kidman ]: 8s
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Rio!
[ EarlJr ]: ooh, that's a toughie
[ EarlJr ]: give me a moment to think on it
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Oh! Autism Speaks is putting me on their site!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: London
[ Kidman ]: The British highlands
[ Sarah-Nade ]: NYC's not bad either
[ Contessa ]: Pamplona.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Berlin!
[ Ivy ]: Seychelles... preferably during surfing season.
[ DericStorm ]: i have a few: honolulu, chicago, south bend, new york, houston, dublin, rome, and fairview
[ Carmen ]: Skopelos.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: God, I haven't gone surfing in... forever
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: That's wonderful exposure!
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: And yes, I'm rather enjoying your book.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Or, enjoying again, as I've already read it online.
[ Ivy ]: It's been a while for me too.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: You surf, Miss Ivy?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: It hasn't been placed back on the shelves since.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: That is so moro!
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Avery also enjoys the pictures.
[ DericStorm ]: surfing's cool. i'm not too good at it, but it's still fun to try
[ EarlJr ]: Istanbul.
[ DericStorm ]: my roomie Shane is pretty good at it
[ Scarlet ]: Zermatt.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Oh! I didn't know you did read it online!
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: And he does?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: That's beautiful.
[ Ivy ]: Do you surf, Anja?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Nei. I skate ice and rollerskate only.
[ Chase ]: I think Contessa's next?
[ Contessa ]: Ah yes.
[ Contessa ]: Your first date. When, where, who, what.
[ Kidman ]: I'm off mates.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: I have never got a date.
[ EarlJr ]: later Kidman
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (later Kidman!)
[ Ivy ]: Bye Kidman
[ Contessa ]: Farewell Kidman.
[ EarlJr ]: that's reaching back a ways
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'm off, love. I'll send you a note later through TECS, as I see gmail still isn't working for you.
[ Carmen ]: Be well, dear.
[ DericStorm ]: (bye)
[ Chase ]: Take care, Kidman.
[ Scarlet ]: Goodbye, Countess.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei da, Kid.
[ Scarlet ]: (Sorry, I meant Kidman.)
[ Scarlet ]: (Le sigh.)
[ Contessa ]: How can I tailor this question for you, Anja? A dream date perhaps?
[ DericStorm ]: Okay, back to the game- may, 1996. fairview, nebraska. Rebecca Manning. it was to the spring carnival
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *gasp* With Mats Zuccarello?!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: My first date was with a girl named Lisa with a last name I forgot. We went for ice cream and I spilled it on her. I was soooo smooth back then.
[ EarlJr ]: back in High School. Her name was Samantha, and it ended with lots of alcohol
[ EarlJr ]: no other takers? or are you all writing a novel length dissertation?
[ Ivy ]: I'm sure it wasn't my first date, but it's the farthest I can remember as a 'first date' situation. A guy named Dave who asked me out to a library. It was a weird time.
[ Contessa ]: The others may be thinking.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: I would go with Mats Zuccarello, to Berlin and play ishockey all the day!
[ DericStorm ]: maybe the guy wanted some alone time with you, Ivy
[ Ivy ]: Well, I guess then his tactics worked.
[ Scarlet ]: Franz Schumann. Czech Republic. I was 15, he must have been 30. We had breakfast in the conservatory of his house. He had a beautiful piano. It was only breakfast, but Shane claims it was a date. Very well, I suppose.
[ DericStorm ]: 8s
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (ok back)
[ DericStorm ]: (i'm sure the guy's nice, but that's just too bloody creepy for me)
[Neutral Grounds]: SolEVent has entered at 4:36 am
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei hei.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Hey! SOlEVent
[ Sarah-Nade ]: First Date: Age 13, Summer Camp, Davis Berley, around the campfire
[ Contessa ]: To be fair and answer the question, mine was when I was fourteen. We snuck out of the boarding school and into a theatre in town.
[ SolEVent ]: Alo Det. Awesome Ciamar tha Sibh? :luck:
[ Carmen ]: Dear heavens, Gaelic?
[ DericStorm ]: :biggrin:
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Impressive... can't speak a word of it but I've sung it before
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I am so confused.
[ Carmen ]: I apologise, for some reason, I thought it was trasliterrated Arabic.
[ SolEVent ]: Co as a tha sibh Carmen? :luck:
[ SolEVent ]: (approx. locale)
[ Ivy ]: While I'm really getting into this, I need to run off to my flight 101 class.
[ Ivy ]: Catch you later.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei da, Miss Ivy!
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Later Ms. Monaghan!
[ Carmen ]: Be well, Ivy.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Vi snakkes snart! *hugs*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Nice knowing your first date was in a library!
[ EarlJr ]: later Ives
[ Scarlet ]: Goodbye, Ivy. Take care.
[ Ivy ]: Ha, keep that to yourself Dan.
[ Contessa ]: Farewell Ivy.
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has left at 4:45 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: So... does the game continue?
[ EarlJr ]: until everyone leaves
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Or... are we on hold for a moment?
[ Scarlet ]: (Chase and Carmen have not answered.)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: It is my turn just now?
[ Scarlet ]: (It's mine, actually.)
[ Carmen ]: I believe we were surreptitiously avoiding the perfect date question.
[ EarlJr ]: not perfect, just first
[ Contessa ]: Actually only Anja answers for the perfect date.
[ Scarlet ]: (SolEVent might want to answer, too - en anglais, s'il vous plaît.)
[ Contessa ]: You just have to recall your first.
[ Chase ]: First dinner date, or first one where you sleep with the girl too?
[ Scarlet ]: ( [ Contessa ]: Your first date. When, where, who, what. )
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *folds arms* Who slept you with?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Easy there, cowboy... I told you guys about my summer camp memories... I don't think that means we need to know about your sex life
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Unless you really want to spill
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I think it's just first date
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Otherwise my ice cream story would be null and void.
[ Chase ]: So... dinner date? A girl named Rosalyn, I was 13, she was 15... this was at a pasta place in Warren, Maine. I wore a tux. Don't ask why, I don't remember.
[ DericStorm ]: aww
[ Contessa ]: That's darling.
[ EarlJr ]: that's almost everyone
[ Chase ]: To be fair, she has her first dance a year later... and didn't pick me as her date. Because I wasn't 'tall enough'.
[ Carmen ]: Did you remedy that in any way?
[ Chase ]: Sure, I got taller.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: What about you, Carmen?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: You are good size, Mr. Chase.
[ Carmen ]: I don't remember the name of my first date, but it was in the back seat of an old Lincoln, somewhere in San Franciso. I must have been 16.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: goes to the bar and makes herself a highball
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: ...
[ Chase ]: So... not a dinner date.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: your first date was in a back seat?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Where were you when I was in highschool??
[ Carmen ]: Likely, Mr. Ainsworth, I was at ACME.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: sips her drink
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Okie dokie... who's next?
[ Chase ]: You remember the car but not the guy's name?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Doc Sophie was it?
[ Scarlet ]: Mine.
[ Chase ]: Wait, you were in ACME at 16.
[ Carmen ]: Dig, if you'd like, but you won't find much.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Mr. Chase, why can not I job with ACME if Miss Carmen did so?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Probably because ACME closed their youth program after the 1990s...
[ Scarlet ]: Your first kiss, then. Where, when, who... &c. (The question.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: well their more aggressive youth programs....
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Carmen?
[ DericStorm ]: repeat my previous answer
[Neutral Grounds]: SolEVent has left at 4:59 am
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Ok, I don't know that for fact... but it would explain why I haven't had a kid capture me since the Clinton era
[ Scarlet ]: What was your previous answer, Mr. Storm?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: My mamma, when I was a baby?
[ Scarlet ]: ( :) @ Anja.)
[ DericStorm ]: may, 1996. fairview, nebraska. Rebecca Manning. it was to the spring carnival
[ Chase ]: Anja -- Carmen joined ACME when she was 13 as a junior detective, then she became detective later... and made operative at 19... same age she left. -- you can always join ACME if you're willing to leave VILE.
[ EarlJr ]: same girl, a week beforehand
[ Scarlet ]: (The rest of you, you know what I/Sophie meant.)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: But I love Miss Carmen! Why would I leave VILE?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: age 16, backstage at the Poacher's Pit in Honolulu... with some guy.
[ Chase ]: If you want to join ACME, leave VILE, if not stay -- it's okay too.
[ Contessa ]: Unfortunately I don't remember my first kiss. It must have not been all that spectacular.
[ Scarlet ]: What was the first kiss you remember, Countess?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I remember mine. I was in fourth grade, I ran up to Macy Fraiser and kissed her on a dare.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Yes?
[ Scarlet ]: (That is cute, Daniel.)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: A dare? Astrid dared me to kiss a frog, a time.
[ Carmen ]: I don't recall my first. Might I change the question to my most memoriable kiss, then?
[ Scarlet ]: Did it kiss back, Anja?
[ Scarlet ]: You may.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Nei. It changed not to a prince, either.
[ Chase ]: Sophie's question -- A Church, I was 6, with Rosalyn... my mother caught us, I don't remember any of it, but this was told over and over again to various relatives.
[ Contessa ]: The first I remembered would have been Amoro Romero, a bullfighter I met in Argentina.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: I dropped it, and ran to wash myself.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (lol Anja)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Oh, I wasn't sure. right. I'll write you later. Cheers!
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: *Laughs* Do be well.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I thought you'd left.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (and I always figured Countessa could probably write several books on her past.)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: No, just away.
[Neutral Grounds]: Bran_Ap_Brychan has entered at 5:09 am
[ Chase ]: Who else are we waiting on?
[ Chase ]: Bran -- answer a Q&A
[ Scarlet ]: Me?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Miss Carmen.
[ Scarlet ]: Has everyone gone?
[ EarlJr ]: Carmen, as usual
[ Scarlet ]: Ah, Carmen.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: Good afternoon.
[ Scarlet ]: Mr. Brychan. [ Scarlet ]: Your first kiss, then. Where, when, who... &c. (The question.)
[ DericStorm ]: also, Pippi hasn't answered yet either
[ Carmen ]: Ah, yes.
[ Carmen ]: I remember a kiss with an artist whose name I will have to omit, it was late, and in complete darkness. I had to leave for Milan the same night, but that sensation lingered, and I nearly forgot about my flight.
[ Carmen ]: I believe this was in Kabul.
[ Chase ]: Eleven years ago then?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Carmen has the best stories.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Makes me think.
[ Carmen ]: Must be less, nine, eight?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Hmm... Kabul...
[ Chase ]: Explains the darkness.
[ Carmen ]: Yes, most places shut off all lights by 9 p.m.
[ Scarlet ]: I was twelve. It was in Peru. Culprit: Shane Huntington.
[ Chase ]: You make kissing you sound like a crime, Sophie.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: He wasn't 30 right?
[ Scarlet ]: It's a crime when it doesn't last long enough for me to respond and when I have to wait four years for another.
[ Scarlet ]: I jest, really. *smiles*
[ Chase ]: Not a good image in my head, thanks Dan...
[ Scarlet ]: No, we were born in the same year.
[ EarlJr ]: as much fun as exchanging tales of conquest is, I have to get moving.
[ EarlJr ]: bye everyone
[ Chase ]: Take care, Euge.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei da, Eugene!
[ Scarlet ]: Goodbye, Eugene.
[ Carmen ]: Fly safe, Mr. Grovington.
[Neutral Grounds]: EarlJr has left at 5:18 am
[ Chase ]: We're still waiting on Bran?
[ Chase ]: Or do we move to Deric's question?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: We can move to Deric
[ DericStorm ]: what about contessa?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: if he's still around
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: (I actually have to leave soon)
[ Scarlet ]: Deric, I suggest you make a threat and then ask your question.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I've heard this name Shane a few times... is this the same guy?
[ Contessa ]: I've already answered.
[ DericStorm ]: but you haven't asked a question
[ Sarah-Nade ]: yeah she did I thought
[ Chase ]: Contessa already asked.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: first date
[ Chase ]: Followed by Sophie.
[ Contessa ]: I did, and you've already answered Mr Storm.
[ Scarlet ]: (Sophie refers to the same "Shane". Deric's room-mate is another one.)
[ DericStorm ]: oh, my apologies
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (is that the fiance to be?)
[ DericStorm ]: ok, what is the dumbest thing you've had to do to settle a bet or a dare?
[ Scarlet ]: (It's the husband-to-be, yes.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (ooooh, ok)
[ Chase ]: Dumbest... tough to pick.
[ Scarlet ]: I doped an entire party of drinks with methylene blue.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Kiss Marcy Fraiser
[ DericStorm ]: paint my body blue and gold and streak across the quad
[ Sarah-Nade ]: tilts her head, obviously pondering
[ DericStorm ]: or strip down to my underwear and sing to a collection of soroities
[ DericStorm ]: it's a tie between those two
[ Scarlet ]: Dear Deric, your friends must enjoy seeing your body.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: I let a crab pinch me... *winces*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (cute Anja)
[ DericStorm ]: well, the first one was my roomies idea. the second was for a charity
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (:))
[ Carmen ]: I believe stealing ACME tower somewhat qualifies in this case.
[ Chase ]: ...
[ DericStorm ]: i lost a bet for the first one and had to pay up
[ Chase ]: Really?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: :(
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Does work actually count towards this? Oh man, I'm screwed
[ Carmen ]: It was an unspoken dare.
[ Contessa ]: I stalked a rather large white crocodile for weeks in the Amazon. It was to settle a bet.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Chase, whats your dumbest?
[ Chase ]: Hold on... I have a lot of dumb ones... picking the worst isn't easy.
[ Carmen ]: Why not the instance where you got your "Conan" nickname?
[ Kidman ]: Oh my, everyone's still here!
[ Chase ]: That wasn't bad.
[ Chase ]: I think I have better.
[ Chase ]: I lost a bet and either had to clean the sewer drain for a year, or take a full course of salsa classes for 3 months.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I didn't expect you to still be here!
[ Chase ]: I took the latter... thought it'd save me some time.
[ Kidman ]: What's the current question?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Dumbest thing you've done on a dare
[ DericStorm ]: or to win/pay off a bet
[ Contessa ]: I really must be off.
[ Contessa ]: Thank you all for the game.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Later contessa
[ Kidman ]: Bye love
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Awww! Hei da, Contessa! *hugs*
[ Scarlet ]: Goodbye, Countess.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Bye Countess
[ Carmen ]: Adrianna, yes, don't forget to check your security box.
[ Chase ]: Take care, Adrianna.
[ Chase ]: Security box?
[ Contessa ]: *smiles* I always did enjoy gifts.
[ Contessa ]: Thank you, Carmen.
[ Kidman ]: Probably all sorts of things. Too long back.
[Neutral Grounds]: Contessa has left at 5:34 am
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I need to refresh.
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has left at 5:34 am
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Ah. A little more at ease now...
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has entered at 5:34 am
[ Carmen ]: (What is it called in American? Safety-Deposit Box?)
[ Chase ]: (Works both ways, I think.)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I had company that wanted to read along.
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: (I need to leave now)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (yup)
[ DericStorm ]: (are you talking about the box in a bank)
[ Bran_Ap_Brychan ]: (Bye people)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: (Later Bran)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei da, Bran. :)
[ Carmen ]: Farewell, Mr. Brychan.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Later Bran
[ Chase ]: Take care, Bran.
[ Kidman ]: Awww, Chan was in here?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Chan?
[Neutral Grounds]: Bran_Ap_Brychan has left at 5:36 am
[ Kidman ]: I could have hooked him up with Contessa...
[ Kidman ]: They could have been rich together.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: ...Is it my turn?
[ Scarlet ]: Yes, Anja.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Jajaman!
[ Chase ]: Anja, ask away.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: OK! Which moment did you something which made you the most proud with yourself?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I made Chase an elixir of awesomness.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: It made everyone love him.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: no one knows this is true.
[ Chase ]: ...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I put it in his coffee one morning and bam, he was the star of ACME
[ Chase ]: You touched my coffee?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: I believe not this story.
[ DericStorm ]: wow. it's a tie between the first time i got into a football game in college and when i graduated college
[ DericStorm ]: Danny, you never, EVER touch a marine's coffee
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Okay okay, I jest. I had a bunch of ACME lab failures.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: The elixir of awesomness is still in testing.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: My proudest moment was nabbing my first VILE crook.
[ Chase ]: Right, good one.
[ Scarlet ]: Who was that?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Ken U Belivitt I think
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Ah, do elaborate? I apologise, I'm not entirely familiar with the term.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: I scored a hattrick in a ishockey game, and my pappa was really at the match to see me...
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: It is the only ishockey match he watched.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I'll say teaching my music students. I can't pick a particular one, wouldn't be right.
[ Chase ]: Sweet, hockey.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Or when my pappa came home and heard our first song on the radio.
[ Chase ]: heh
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Ok, so its Chase, Scarlet, Carmen, Kidman... and I think thats it, that is left
[ Chase ]: Right... mine was Yale. Getting that done was a huge boost to any pride I had going.
[ Kidman ]: ...I'm not sure I can think of anything, to be honest.
[ Carmen ]: It's not my own moment, but I had passed a personal saying on to someone, and when I heard them repeating it to someone else, I felt a tint of pride. That does count as something, I believe.
[ Chase ]: Just a tint?
[ Carmen ]: O dpm
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Oh, a freind of mine that is Carmen fan.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: friend
[ Carmen ]: (baby, I apologise)
[ Chase ]: (Heh, hi to Avery)
[ Kidman ]: (Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww)
[ Kidman ]: :baby:
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: *Laughs* Mm, now I see.
[ Scarlet ]: I was in Haiti in 2010... and I delivered a baby girl by a road - just outside Port-au-Prince. It was my... proudest and most heart-breaking moment.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: She was at the apt today and wished to look over my should to watch the fun.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (awwww.)
[ DericStorm ]: pippi wins
[ Carmen ]: Chase; I don't think the saying was mine to begin with.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I've tried to convince her to join, but no luck.
[ Chase ]: I'd think it was starting VILE or something.
[ Carmen ]: VILE is a process, we'll see how proud of it I am when it's tested.
[ Chase ]: Fair enough.
[ Kidman ]: wants to make Master proud.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: We met through my book, oddly enough.
[ Chase ]: Who's up next?
[ Chase ]: Kidman?
[ DericStorm ]: (actually, i have to bail. meeting. ttyl)
[ Scarlet ]: Goodbye, Deric. Take care.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei da, Mr. Detective!
[ Chase ]: Take care, Storm.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: gives a 'five'.
[ Carmen ]: Be well, Mr. Storm.
[Neutral Grounds]: DericStorm has left at 5:54 am
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Is she a writer herself?
[ Chase ]: Kidman, floor's still yours.
[ Kidman ]: To ask a question?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *thumbs up*
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: yup
[ Kidman ]: Right... If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Actually, I don't believe so.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: I would be so pretty as Astrid.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: She also was afraid of her fact/fiction line fading.
[ Chase ]: But Anja... you're twins
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: We're close to clones.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Ah, then she may need to take it slow, yes?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: But she is prettier, ja?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I wouldn't want to bar her comfort zone.
[ Chase ]: No, I think you're on par.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: (lol)
[ Scarlet ]: You're identical, Anja.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *glumly smiles* You are so kind so, Mr. Chase.
[ Chase ]: I could hardly tell the difference between the two of you.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: I would like to be smarter to pass all the ACME exams.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Truly?
[ Chase ]: I only know it's 'Anja' because you'd hug me first.
[ Scarlet ]: smiles.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *motions toward herself* Come here, Mr. Chase.
[ Scarlet ]: I doubt he'll leave that chair.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: She's also not sure she could keep up. There's a general hesitation there, so I let it pass.
[ Chase ]: Yeah, why don't you come here instead?
[ Chase ]: I like this chair...
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Hahahahahaha!)
[ Chase ]: Right, what was the question?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: This is late for you!
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Oh look!
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: If you come not over here, I shall poke you.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: http://www.autismspeaks.org/family-services/resource-library/books#adults
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Avery awoke just minutes ago.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I'm listed!
[ Chase ]: You'll have to come here to poke me... catch 22.
[ Kidman ]: (lol)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: 22 of what?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: approaches Chase.
[ Chase ]: Catch-22, it's when you can't move because both parties are stuck.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *looks down* I am not stuck.
[ Chase ]: Really, can someone repeat the question?
[ Chase ]: Before she pokes me?
[ Kidman ]: *sighs*
[ Kidman ]: If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Congratulations!
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: stands next to Chase and puts her right cheek against his left.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Capture us in picture, Miss Sophie! *sticks out tongue*
[ Kidman ]: .............?
[ Chase ]: chuckles
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: *taks photo*
[ Scarlet ]: laughs and takes out her phone...
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: This is soooo going on facebook
[ Scarlet ]: *snap*
[ Kidman ]: is sure she is no longer the stangest person in the room.
[ Kidman ]: strangest
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs*
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Yay!
[ Chase ]: Kidman's question -- I'd like more control... in general.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Just in time for autism month. I chose to have it linked through my website so the free version would be obvious.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: ...seriously?
[ Carmen ]: My question exactly.
[ Chase ]: Yeah, just a higher level of control.
[ Carmen ]: My answer was going to be I wanted to fly.
[ Carmen ]: But I think Chase's is a tad more absurd.
[ Chase ]: Thanks for that. *Salutes*
[ Chase ]: What's your real answer?
[ Kidman ]: loves the idea of a flying Carmen.
[ Carmen ]: If I could change one thing realistic about myself, I think it would be pride. It's causing a bit of unforeseeable odds as of late.
[ Chase ]: This is me being skeptical... Really?
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Man I need to go back to class.
[ Scarlet ]: I would like to be more clever - in all sense of the word.
[ DetectiveAwesome ]: Later everyone!
[ Scarlet ]: Take care, Daniel!
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei da, Mr. Dan!
[ Sarah-Nade ]: takes a large swig of her drink
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Ah yes, I donated to a foundation for the month of April.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I'd want better taste in men...
[Neutral Grounds]: DetectiveAwesome has left at 6:13 am
[ Chase ]: Take care, Ainsworth.
[ Chase ]: Carmen, you're on bat.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: It was a rather controversal move on my part, or may be.
[ Carmen ]: I'll take the opposite note on the last question then: What are you most thankful for?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: How so?
[ Scarlet ]: My family.
[ Scarlet ]: (Wow, that answer came really fast.)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: The Aspie community is highly skeptical of AS because of their stance on autism being something that needs to be cured.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: My sister.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: They are known as 'curbies'.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: 'curebies'
[ Kidman ]: Master.
[ Kidman ]: I am quite sure I would be dead without her umbrella.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: I'm thankful for me.
[ Chase ]: I think... I'm thankful for my experiences.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Do you believe they're right?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: It's a hard question to answer. Autism itself is an operating system. There is nothing inherently wrong with it.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: However, the situation can give skewed results.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, I'm on the same grain with Sarah and Chase... I'm thankful for what little wisdom I wield, and the people who support it.
[ Chase ]: Little?
[ Chase ]: That's cute.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: It varies so much.
[ Carmen ]: Isn't it?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Such as, would a penguin be considered disabled?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Precisely, an interesting question.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: In the jungle, yes.
[ Chase ]: Is Sarah up?
[ Carmen ]: It would seem.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Uhhhh....
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Last band you saw live
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Many on the spectrum resent being seen as handicapped because they have found the ocean.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: *gasp* ATB!
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: However, the ocean isn't always an option.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: But he is not a band, jo?
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Thats fine
[ Sarah-Nade ]: musical act
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: A species apart, I guess.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, Tiesto in Hong Kong.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: But not really.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Niiiice
[ Scarlet ]: (I agree - nice.)
[ Chase ]: ...
[ Kidman ]: ...
[ Chase ]: I saw a violinist in the subway this morning.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: I like Tiesto!
[ Carmen ]: His digital displays are getting better as well.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I wouldn't mind having a few things 'cured'
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I would like to be able to have a job.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (In reality, I don't think Tiesto is as good in his genre.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Kidman?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I would love to have a fact/fiction line that is thicker than tissuepaper.
[ Kidman ]: ... the guys used to play guitar on base...
[ Carmen ]: He's not as inventive as David Guetta, of course.
[ Carmen ]: But no one pleases a crowd quite like Tiesto.
[ Kidman ]: We had a little band
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (I'm an ATB and Dash Berlin fan.)
[ Kidman ]: 'Band of thieves' it was.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Though Tiesto's performances do seem spectacular.)
[ Carmen ]: (All very repectable)
[ Kidman ]: (seaman, sasha, digween, warren, oakenfold, van dyke)
[ Carmen ]: (Have you seen him live?)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Nice
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (No. But I've seen videos.)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I think you're already doing quite well.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Never been to any DJ's performance.)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (I went to see Switchfoot, though.)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I think so, yes.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: But I want to read that new set of books;
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Hunger Games
[ Carmen ]: (The live experience is brilliant, you must attend a concert)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: and I know I can't.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (I'll keep that in mind.)
[ Carmen ]: (DJs are slightly different from bands.)
[ Kidman ]: wishes she was like Master.
[ Chase ]: At this point, even I wish I was more like her.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (To be honest, I didn't know a thing about electronic music until I invented the twins.)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (I was actually surprised at how creative and actually...good, it was.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: )
[ Carmen ]: (For electronic music, you must see Charlotte Gainsbourg. Live, of course.)
[ Carmen ]: (Her words, movements, extremely experimental.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Oh, I forgot my answer
[ Kidman ]: (I have Synesthesia. I experience all kinds of things with electronica)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Never heard of her.)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (I'll check her out first.)
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Dropkick Murphys, live at Fenway, St Patty day
[ Chase ]: Charlotte Gainsbourg... crazy woman.
[ Chase ]: Hey, Fenway, nice.
[ Chase ]: I haven't been to Boston in the longest time.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Because the lines may blur?
[ Carmen ]: She is rather crazy, yes?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Oh I'd fall straight in.
[ Carmen ]: Emphasis on "is"
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: It would become my reality.
[ Carmen ]: I absolutely love how she projects imagery through series of words.
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Its a crazy town... not busy enough for my liking but the music scene is nice sometimes
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: People say they can really get into a book.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I can't get out.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (I almost regret calling them the "Techno Twins", since I actually prefer things more on the trance side.)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Might you have a way to keep track of the barrier?
[ Carmen ]: I love trance as well.
[ Chase ]: I wish I knew what you were talking about.
[ Kidman ]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlSOX-dI0zM
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs* Sit tight, Chase, it's all right.
[ Kidman ]: (If I listen to this on headphone, I actually do 'trance out')
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Heh)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Not that I can tell. The moment I can concieve of a thing, my mind records it as real.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Be careful over there.)
[ Carmen ]: (I'm tempted greatly to click, but I've been having so much problems with youtube lately, I'm afraid flash chat would give out.)
[ Kidman ]: (I'm so serious. Can't drive with it on)
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I see how difficult it must be.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: What if someone else reads it and tells you the story?
[ Chase ]: Don't understand it... how is this music?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (That's why I listen to rock while driving.)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Hmmm...I don't know. I've never done that before, but it...seems possible!
[ Carmen ]: Chase, your question; if you've forgotten.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: It is so moro musik, it is so, jo?
[ Chase ]: No, not music.
[ Chase ]: It's just noise.
[ Kidman ]: (l'll email the link, Master)
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (I'll stay for this one more question. Then I must leave.)
[ Carmen ]: Stop sounding like you're 60, Chase.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: It...is not noise...
[ Chase ]: Right, question...
[ Kidman ]: It's okay, Chase. If you aren't wired for it, it won't effect you.
[ Chase ]: Your personal hero, and why. I want details, specifics, don't just say "they're nice."
[ Kidman ]: ... Do I even have to answer this?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: There might be some sort of break because it would be second generation...
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I wonder!
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: I like Anja Pærson, but I am not so sure of a hero...
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: But would it have to be a live person or could books on tape suffice? Hmmm...
[ Sarah-Nade ]: Suzi Quatro, first female bass player to become a major rock star
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: My pappa is a hero, probably. He is so brave on the sea, and he is my pappa, of course.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I think I am able to handle the RP easier because I can effect it in some way.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: affect?
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Yes, I believe we're getting somewhere.
[ Chase ]: Doc, Carmen?
[ Scarlet ]: (This is a tad challenging.)
[ Carmen ]: This requires some mulling over.
[ Carmen ]: Would you like to answer first, Chase?
[ Chase ]: Sure.
[ Chase ]: My father was definitely my hero... there wasn't anything he did that I didn't want to do, or copy in some way.
[ Chase ]: Always felt every step he took was right.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: It feels good, like a low impact workout.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I'm sure some control now will lead to more control later.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Usually I throw myself at the hardest thing I can find and grab as much as I can before I fall off.
[ Scarlet ]: nods...
[ Kidman ]: finds this beautiful.
[ Carmen ]: Do you think you're following well in his footsteps?
[Neutral Grounds]: Anja_Larsdotter has left at 6:53 am
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: It works, but it's brutal.
[Neutral Grounds]: Anja_Larsdotter has entered at 6:53 am
[Neutral Grounds]: Anja_Larsdotter has left at 6:53 am
[Neutral Grounds]: Anja_Larsdotter has entered at 6:54 am
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Fy katten...)
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: With the fact fiction barrier, that hasn't worked as well.;-p
[Neutral Grounds]: Sarah-Nade has left at 6:54 am
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (But I do need to go, I suppose.)
[ Chase ]: Carmen -- Honestly? Probably not. But I try.
[ Chase ]: Take care, Anja
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: This is working better.
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: You also, Mr. Chase!
[ Carmen ]: (Be well, Sven, please join us again soon.)
[ Kidman ]: Bye, love!
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I think a slow incline will do better here.
[ Scarlet ]: Goodbye, dear Anja!
[ Chase ]: So, ladies? Your answer?
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: (Heh. Thanks, guys. :))
[ Anja_Larsdotter ]: Hei da, all! Vi snakkes snart!
[ Chase ]: You too.
[Neutral Grounds]: Anja_Larsdotter has left at 6:56 am
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Being able to play with all the buttons and knobs of the thing does help.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Then I'm very glad I was a part of this development.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Working as stage crew helped back in the day.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I am honoured that you are. <3
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: You came at just the right time.
[ Carmen ]: You mentioned 'personal hero'? Not necessarily an idol or mentor, if I understand correctly?
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: With the book finished it freed up a lot of space.
[ Chase ]: Take the word any way you want.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: I'm glad then, the universe has a way of allowing things to work out.
[ Carmen ]: Then... it's you.
[ Chase ]: Me?
[ Scarlet ]: :)
[ Carmen ]: Of the 9 months we worked together, you were rather heroic.
[ Scarlet ]: (That is a great answer.)
[ Carmen ]: I'm not sure anyone has done that for me before, or since.
[ Chase ]: (I'm still a little speechless here.)
[ Kidman ]: (I cried just a littel. :-))
[ Carmen ]: Speechless? Take your time, of course, it'll peter out.
[ Kidman ]: little
[ Scarlet ]: (And I am just sitting here and smiling to myself...)
[ Kidman ]: smiles softly at Chase.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: I've been learning to fall back on that now.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: A lesson learned from video games.
[ Carmen ]: With the way we left things, I don't think I mentioned that. Or thanked you for any of it.
[ Chase ]: It's okay.
[ Chase ]: The feeling's mutual.
[ Kidman ]: sheds a happy tear.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Often times levels are not available until the player has the ability to enter them.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Ah, video games.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Wife plays them quite a bit.
[ Chase ]: breathes.
[ Scarlet ]: Yes, you were turning purple.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Her reflexes are better than mine, but I'm the back seat stratagist.
[ Chase ]: Wow, that still... leaves me something weird.
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs* I did say it'll peter out.
[ Kidman ]: glows just a little bit.
[ Carmen ]: (And Avery is now asleep)
[ Carmen ]: (Thank you for bearing with me through this.)
[ Chase ]: (pleasure)
[ Scarlet ]: Sophie's personal hero is Shane.
[ Kidman ]: (Thank you for coming to us!)
[ Carmen ]: Shall we all shut down Neutral Grounds together for the night?
[ Scarlet ]: Thank you for your time, Carmen.
[ Chase ]: Yeah, I think we should.
[ Chase ]: First time four people all leave, right?
[ Scarlet ]: Leave arm-in-arm?
[ Kidman ]: ....must we?
[ Kidman ]: Dang.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Goodnight, love.
[ Chase ]: Sophie and I can go back to HQ in my car.
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: Thank you so much for your time today.
[ Carmen ]: And I'll take Kidman via the helicopter.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: Y tu tambien
[ Kidman ]: Yeay! Helicopter!
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: *Laughs* Muchos gracias.
[ Scarlet ]: Au revoir~
[ Scarlet ]: Do take care.
[ Kidman ]: Bye loves
[ Carmen->Kidman ]: (Muchas, yes, forgive me)
[ Carmen ]: Good night.
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: All the same to me.
[ Chase ]: *Grabs coat*
[ Kidman->Carmen ]: ;-)
[ Chase ]: Take care.
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has left at 7:10 am
[ Carmen ]: Come along, dear.
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has left at 7:10 am
[Neutral Grounds]: Chase has left at 7:10 am
