[ Kidman ]: -- Welcome! Please stay in character while in chat, (use parenthesis for Out Of Character messages). Also remember, this is the Internet, DO NOT give out personal information.
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Kidman ]: runs in.
[ SwedishFish ]: Protection from...anyone who would attack.
[ Kidman ]: Good, didn't miss you all.
[ SwedishFish ]: I could leave the gun unloaded, and it would still scare others.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Heya Kid!
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ SwedishFish ]: is not relaxed anymore.
[ Kidman ]: Annnnd I walk back into this conversation.
[ Scarlet ]: And why do you think people would attack you?
[ Scarlet ]: Greetings, Miss Kidman.
[ Kidman ]: Because he has candy.
[ SwedishFish ]: Various...reasons...
[ Ivy ]: Hello Kidman
[ SwedishFish ]: wants to deck Kidman.
[ Kidman ]: Hi Vic! Glad I'm not the only good guy in here for once.
[ Kidman ]: :p
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has entered at 11:19 am
[ Kidman ]: (nice colour, Ivy)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: And now it's even BETTER!
[ SwedishFish ]: And the playing field is level..
[ Kidman ]: In spades!
[ SwedishFish ]: Miss Sandiego.
[ Ivy ]: (Thanks)
[ Scarlet ]: Good afternoon, Miss Sandiego.
[ Kidman ]: Hmm, my timing was good after all.
[ Carmen ]: Greetings. It's certainly a pleasure to walk into a welcoming room.
[ Ivy ]: Hello Carmen
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Look boss, no Chase!
[ SwedishFish ]: Your time was perfect, in your view.
[ Ivy ]: ACME is slowly getting out numbered
[ SwedishFish ]: Vic scared Boss off.
[ Kidman ]: gives Vic another star.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Hey he said he needed t' eat
[ Kidman ]: Oh, was he on?
[ Carmen ]: If Chase was scared of Vincent, I would be worried.
[ SwedishFish ]: Ivy, you are in charge to arrest Vic as he leaves, ja?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Me too, Carm'n, me too
[ Kidman ]: ACME is already outnumbered, as Carmen counts for five.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Kid, he was on
[ Kidman ]: Awww... I wanted to poke him....
[ SwedishFish ]: You missed. He was talking 'sexy'.
[ SwedishFish ]: Wait...
[ SwedishFish ]: Poke him?
[ Kidman ]: Whaaaa.....?
[ Carmen ]: Talking what? Are we speaking of the same Chase?
[ Kidman ]: sexy?
[ SwedishFish ]: You would poke him?
[ SwedishFish ]: Jaja. Boss.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I weren't here.
[ Kidman ]: With a stick, yes. What did you think?
[ SwedishFish ]: Ivy can tell us, maybe.
[ Scarlet ]: Please don't disgrace your Field Director, Mr. Svensson. He merely termed something sexy.
[ Kidman ]: To Ivy?
[ Kidman ]: I never saw that coming.
[ SwedishFish ]: I understand not how something is 'sexy'...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: All's I heard is he said something was sexy.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Not someone
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: But y'know Chase, he's made of animal magnetism.
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs*
[ Ivy ]: Animal magnetism? You are getting creative.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Got something to add, ah, boss?
[ Carmen ]: Mm, no, I don't think anyone could add to that.
[ SwedishFish ]: Vic seems to like his shirts.
[ Kidman ]: That was random.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: You seen his suits?
[ SwedishFish ]: It was not, for riktigt.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I'm Italian, I notice these things.
[ SwedishFish ]: Speaking of 'magnetism'.
[ Ivy ]: ?
[ SwedishFish ]: Vic is attracted to Boss' shirts.
[ Ivy ]: ah... I guess that makes... sense...
[ Kidman ]: Ah. I thought you were referring to is own shirts.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Not shirts, kiddies, the suit.
[ SwedishFish ]: I hate suits...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Not to mention his tux, swanky
[ Ivy ]: Well, there is something nice about a well dressed man.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, I can't argue with that.
[ SwedishFish ]: Much too bulky.
[ SwedishFish ]: Hot and bothersome.
[ Carmen ]: Something very attractive about a man who knows how to wear a suit.
[ Carmen ]: I speak, of course... generally.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Thanks boss!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I sure love my suits
[ Kidman ]: I would love to see Carmen in a suit...
[ SwedishFish ]: :weird:
[ Kidman ]: A beautiful pants suit
[ Kidman ]: Black, nicely cut...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She's got some
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: from them tailors in Italy.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: But she don't like pants so much.
[ Ivy ]: so the red trench coat is just for heists?
[ Carmen ]: Almost exclusively, yes, the red coat and hat is a costume.
[ SwedishFish ]: I am curious why Miss Sandiego needs a suit...
[ Kidman ]: You didn't think she wears that all the time, did you?
[ Kidman ]: To look sharp.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She loses these so much, the hats, the coats, we got an entire budget dedicated to just getting the right red fabric coming in.
[ Ivy ]: ACME should trace the manufactuerer...
[ SwedishFish ]: I would collect the hats.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Best o' luck
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I could hardly trace the manufacturers myself
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Her personal tailors go nuts when we got different fabric colors
[ Ivy ]: I'm sure they're not that easy to come by... the hats.
[ SwedishFish ]: (Funny thing. I actually saw a Carmen Sandiego-type hat at a store last month.)
[ Carmen ]: (They're fedoras, not too difficult to find, I'm sure)
[ SwedishFish ]: (Nah. It was the big sunhat variety.)
[ Kidman ]: Dye lots are like that.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: The Carmen hat's not just a hat
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: It's gotta fit her head!
[ SwedishFish ]: (Though, why should I be surprised? Where else does the Red Hat Society find their apparel? :D)
[ Carmen ]: (Extremely respectable, those women.)
[ SwedishFish ]: I would collect the hats, as souvenirs.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Carmen's hats?
[ SwedishFish ]: Ja.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I can tell ya a few are in the Venetian canals.
[ Ivy ]: that would depend how many times you've come close to nabbing Carmen
[ Ivy ]: and for any detective, that's not much
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: There's probably one stuck in a Scottish tree.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Meh, for detectives, nah.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: But for Chase....
[ SwedishFish ]: How much on eBay would you think?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: *whistles*
[ Kidman ]: I should like a Carmen hat.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, you may have one, then.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: It smells like pommegranate.
[ Kidman ]: Really? Truly? I would wear for most important events and annoying the ACMEs.
[ Kidman ]: dances merrily.
[ Ivy ]: well... I guess that could be annoying.
[ SwedishFish ]: All females in VILE receive Carmen hats, I would guess.
[ SwedishFish ]: Decoys.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Carmen don't keep nuttin.
[ Ivy ]: Carmen must have look-a-likes
[ Kidman ]: http://www.neimanmarcus.com/products/mn/NM-0UWT_mn.jpg
[ Kidman ]: But in black.
[ Carmen ]: I believe Chase said it best when he stated, "Practically anyone in a red coat and hat."
[ Kidman ]: Yeah....
[ SwedishFish ]: Ja. Miss Sandiego keeps nothing. She dumps it in Tunisia instead.
[ Kidman ]: Zing!
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs* Mm, but not exclusively in Tunisia.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Sometime Prague
[ SwedishFish ]: Prague...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Sometimes Canada
[ SwedishFish ]: I have never been in Prague. But I dislike it yet.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: or Belge
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Bet Prague don't like you
[ SwedishFish ]: Äh. Someone in Prague.
[ SwedishFish ]: Tjaa, they did not a time ago...
[ Kidman ]: You dislike all of Prague because of one person?
[ Carmen ]: You shouldn't jugde before you experience, Mr. Svensson, it only limits your perception.
[ SwedishFish ]: I would not like to see them again.
[ Kidman ]: What if they move to Sweden?
[ SwedishFish ]: They would not. They came, and left.
[ Carmen ]: I see that fear must hinder a lot of your natural progress.
[ SwedishFish ]: Natural--
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Kidman ]: To be honest, it's a hard thing to get past.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: See how she sees right through ya?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: It's maaagic!
[ SwedishFish ]: *mutters* Shut up.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I can't shut up, Chase isn't here no more.
[ Ivy ]: oh that explains it
[ Kidman ]: Are you afraid of Chase too?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Somethin' about that suit impresses me.
[ SwedishFish ]: Herr Devineaux is too confident for him.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Then he kindda handed me to myself with my own trick.
[ SwedishFish ]: Vic can not con him.
[ Kidman ]: Could you imagine him in a Hawaii'n shirt?
[ Ivy ]: I think he used to say, "you can't con an honest man"
[ SwedishFish ]: Who? Chase?
[ Carmen ]: Mm, well said.
[ Kidman ]: How does that work?
[ Kidman ]: I'm sure I could be conned just about anything.
[ Ivy ]: Yeah, Chase.
[ Kidman ]: Simply because I can't grasp the concept of lying.
[ Ivy ]: Well... if you don't want anything in the first place, you can't be conned out of it.
[ SwedishFish ]: I was speaking to Gingerbread, actually.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I'd try sell him a Hawaiian shirt, but don't think Chase'll buy it.
[ Kidman ]: I bet I could get him to.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Fer what? Charity?
[ Kidman ]: Henceforth this shall be my new goal in life.
[ SwedishFish ]: Charity is good.
[ Kidman ]: Master gives much to charity.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Why go for Hawaiian shirt? When you could make him wear other things
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: like a bear costume
[ SwedishFish ]: Ah, really?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: or go topless
[ Kidman ]: Nah. It has to be a Hawaiian shirt. I can't explain why.
[ Kidman ]: Oh the ladies and gay men would love a shirtless shot.
[ SwedishFish ]: Miss Sandiego has seen him in a Hawaiian shirt, probably.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, I prefer not to speak of charity. It's best you know me only as a thief.
[ Carmen ]: I'm sorry?
[ SwedishFish ]: She even knows about his boxors, remember
[ Kidman ]: I would love to see Carmen in a Hawaiin shirt.
[ Kidman ]: But it would have to be just the right one.
[ SwedishFish ]: Gingerbread, you scare me...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Carmen knows everything!
[ Kidman ]: If you give me a name, you have to explain it.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: What's this about Chase's underwear?
[ SwedishFish ]: If I am Candy Man, you are Gingerbread Tjej.
[ Kidman ]: But I never offered anyone gingerbread.
[ Kidman ]: It needs to make sense.
[ SwedishFish ]: So?
[ Kidman ]: shrugs
[ Kidman ]: I guess you're right.
[ Kidman ]: goes to update profile.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: still waiting on Carmen's answer.
[ Ivy ]: Interested in his suits and boxers, Vic?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: i gotta ask, I might switch t' boxers too.
[ Ivy ]: too much information
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Ivy ]: now I need to get that terrible... terrible image out of my head
[ Kidman ]: You should. So much more comfortable, especially if you get them a size up than what you need.
[ Carmen ]: Mm, do have to leave, dears, additional work this evening.
[ SwedishFish ]: :weird:
[ Carmen ]: Please do be well.
[ Kidman ]: Will you be back...?
[ SwedishFish ]: Ah. Vi ses, Miss Sandiego.
[ Ivy ]: Until next time, Carmen.
[ Carmen ]: *Laughs* And do switch up the topic.
[Neutral Grounds]: Carmen has left at 12:07 pm
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Sneaky!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Who'd she talk to about Chase's boxers?
[ SwedishFish ]: Me and the good doctor.
[ SwedishFish ]: With the boss present.
[ Kidman ]: Do what?
[ Kidman ]: Oh.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: He was present?
[ SwedishFish ]: Ja.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I knew she shouldn't hang around the guy.
[ SwedishFish ]: He confirmed the information.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: What info, exactly?
[ SwedishFish ]: Silk boxors, Vic. It is all I shall say.
[ Ivy ]: what was that phrase?
[ Ivy ]: enemies make good bedfellows?
[ Scarlet ]: What you know, Mr. Fumigalli, has no bearing on what your employer does.
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Silk!
[ Kidman ]: I prefer micromesh.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Classy!
[ Kidman ]: Lasts longer.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: The doc talks?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She's been quiet forever.
[ Kidman ]: I didn't know you were here!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Hey doc, is there a time limit on being quiet?
[ Ivy ]: alright, I think I need to go teach a flight class at ACME...
[ Ivy ]: it's been fun guys.
[ Ivy ]: Bye!
[ Scarlet ]: No, but there should be a time limit on speech, yes?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Aw bye Cherry pie
[ Scarlet ]: Take care, Miss Monaghan.
[Neutral Grounds]: Ivy has left at 12:13 pm
[ Kidman ]: Oops, get up for a second...
[ Kidman ]: Bye Ivy....
[ SwedishFish ]: (And I was just about to fetch the chat log for you guys...)
[ SwedishFish ]: ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AWf2nQ5eBmwYCpuyPAN_y90kdDrN3aNeBofQgcpyTdQ/edit )
[ Scarlet ]: Do we honestly have nothing better to speak about than guns and/or underwear?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: You got a suggestion, Doc?
[ SwedishFish ]: I would appreciate to not speak of guns or underwear anymore.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I'm outta ideas
[ SwedishFish ]: It seems that I am in charge to arrest Vic now...
[ Kidman ]: Why?
[ Kidman ]: He's not doing anything. At the moment.
[ SwedishFish ]: Because Ivy was in charge before she left.
[ SwedishFish ]: Boss planned to have him arrested the moment he left Neutral Grounds.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Hhhhum
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Funny, in that chat log, she left fast too
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Kinda getting a pattern here
[ SwedishFish ]: Heheh
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: ...Eureka!!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Gotta be the time!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: must be same time as now
[ Kidman ]: I'll protect you!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Only answer
[ Scarlet ]: (I will need to leave now. Thank you for the entertainment. :) Take care.)
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Heey, I can be a detective!
[Neutral Grounds]: Scarlet has left at 12:19 pm
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Doc's weird
[ SwedishFish ]: ...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: And not in a Roux kindda way
[ SwedishFish ]: The good doctor has left me alone with these...
[ Kidman ]: throws smokescreen of gingerbread.
[ SwedishFish ]: How is she weird?
[ Kidman ]: In a creepy, silent way.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: That's the thing
[ SwedishFish ]: Heh. And who are we speaking of?
[ SwedishFish ]: She is not creepy.
[ Kidman ]: ...the doctor?
[ Kidman ]: She just...watches.
[ SwedishFish ]: Funny. That was the description I thought for you.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: If she's here and she don't talk, that's creepy.
[ Kidman ]: But she doesn't bother me that much.
[ SwedishFish ]: I like the good doctor.
[ Kidman ]: Not as much a Euge.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Lee bothers me most.
[ SwedishFish ]: Vic, how is it I agree with you?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: The way he looks at Carmen, too.
[ SwedishFish ]: Boss has no idea of who he mixes with.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: It ain't just revenge, ah? It's like somethin else entirely.
[ SwedishFish ]: Lee is a killer.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Bingo
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: and I donno what kind a killer he is.
[ SwedishFish ]: Would he kill for fun?
[ Kidman ]: I know all about Lee...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Chase better watch that creep, ah?
[ SwedishFish ]: ...And that is how you are so creepy, Gingerbread.
[ Kidman ]: If I serve any purpose in Carmen's defense, it is this.
[ SwedishFish ]: Chase...
[ SwedishFish ]: Boss must be rid of him.
[ Kidman ]: Niether of you speak a word of this.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I don't even know what word we're talkin about
[ SwedishFish ]: Right.
[ Kidman ]: Good.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: don't think I'm dumb, I see what Chase is doin'
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Puttin himself right between Lee 'n' Carmen.
[ Kidman ]: Hm?
[ SwedishFish ]: Boss should let Lee go out in his own way.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: He can't do that, kiddo.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Carmen asked him for a favor.
[ Kidman ]: Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: messy how that works, ah?
[ SwedishFish ]: Nej, nej. Hang with me.
[ Kidman ]: Neh?
[ SwedishFish ]: We can set up Lee to bring his own demise on himself.
[ Kidman ]: Explain.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I can't do that, I donno how he works.
[ Kidman ]: I do.
[ SwedishFish ]: I meant ACME.
[ SwedishFish ]: Send him on a doomed mission.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: ha hah!
[ SwedishFish ]: He wants more responsibilty? We give him.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I'd do that, but Chase, Mr. Morality? hahaha!
[ SwedishFish ]: If you have a good name to drop on Lee, I can tell Boss.
[ Kidman ]: He won't fall for that.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: aahhh, I got tears in my eyes I'm laffin so ahrd
[ SwedishFish ]: You heard about his plans for Carmen?
[ Kidman ]: Yes.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I kinda heard it
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: on the chat log
[ SwedishFish ]: He wants to cause an accident for her.
[ SwedishFish ]: I trust we can do the same for him.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: it ain't easy, I tell ya
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: ain't easy for him to do that to Carmen
[ SwedishFish ]: I hope not.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: You gotta convince Chase, gotta convince him real good.
[ Kidman ]: He knows.
[ SwedishFish ]: As much as I trust Carmen should not be loose, I not trust she should die.
[ SwedishFish ]: Ah, a problem. I am not so high in the ranks.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Cuz if anybody knows how to make this all peachy clean and get rid of Lee, it's Chase.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Lee's afraid of him.
[ SwedishFish ]: I have more influence than most rookies, but a rookie is rookie.
[ Kidman ]: No, he isn't.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I know cuz he let it slipped once.
[ SwedishFish ]: Why has Lee been so flattering to Chase?
[ SwedishFish ]: Explain it, Gingerbread.
[ Kidman ]: He's playing stupid.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I donno why he's flatterin' Chase up.
[ Kidman ]: No one expects the fool.
[ SwedishFish ]: It does not work. We know he is not stupid.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I only know he let it slip about feeling like Chase's his surogate dad.
[ Kidman ]: You've been conned.
[ Kidman ]: Lee aims to replace Chase.
[ SwedishFish ]: Ha!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: You believe what you believe, kiddo.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I got my sources.
[ SwedishFish ]: Lee cares not for ACME.
[ Kidman ]: And I have mine.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: If he wanted to replace Chase, he'd set up a hit on Chase by now.
[ SwedishFish ]: Lee wants something. And it means killing Carmen to get it.
[ SwedishFish ]: He is jealous, I trust.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Plenty o' peeps in the underground got grudges against ACME's field director.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I'm with the Swede.
[ Kidman ]: No, he's waiting for someone else to do it.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Lee wants something, and to get it, he's gotta get Carmen
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: That's where he conned you, Kid.
[ Kidman ]: As you said. Plenty of others wanting to.
[ SwedishFish ]: Also, Lee hates that Carmen destroyed his Corvette.
[ Kidman ]: Oh?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Why else you think he's letting someone else get to Chase?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: He can't do it himself.
[ Kidman ]: Hmmm.
[ SwedishFish ]: Lee needs Chase. Carmen needs Chase.
[ SwedishFish ]: Who wins that?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Bazingo!
[ SwedishFish ]: Carmen, everytime.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Carmen wins this round, cuz if Chase had to choose, he'd off Lee.
[ Kidman ]: I'll have to review my information.
[ SwedishFish ]: Chase is not ignorant to the facts. Lee's file is long.
[ SwedishFish ]: Which is the reason Chase keeps him at arm's reach.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Nay, I betcha, Chase could know everythin
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: He ain't dumb, he and Carmen were tight.
[ Kidman->Vic-the-Slick ]: http://www.theseventhstarprojects.com/Leetext.rtf
[ Vic-the-Slick->Kidman ]: Thanks Kid!
[ Kidman->Vic-the-Slick ]: I extracted this from him last night.
[ Vic-the-Slick->Kidman ]: Chat log?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: And you see how he twisted the Italian names on me?
[ SwedishFish ]: How long have you been in VILE, Vic?
[ Kidman->Vic-the-Slick ]: I've already sent it to Carmen.
[ Kidman->Vic-the-Slick ]: Yes.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Since the beginin'
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I was selling cars when this hot... HOT mama came in with a guitar.
[ SwedishFish ]: Ah. So I am curious about the girl Boss described.
[ Kidman ]: A legend.
[ SwedishFish ]: Guitar, ah?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Said she was looking for a fast ride.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: What girl Chase described?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Carmen?
[ SwedishFish ]: The young Carmen.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I remember thinkin', man! she's a tall drink of water.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Looked like a runaway, she was gonna pay for it with cash.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She didn't got enuff so she was gonna give me the guitar too.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I got me a soft spot for girls on the run, ah?
[ SwedishFish ]: Which were you in VILE? First chosen?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: So I let her try out a few.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Then just just got in, took off!
[ Kidman ]: The man's a hero.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: (she got in, took off)
[ SwedishFish ]: Heh. Hero... :rolleyes:
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Nah, she had Sarah Nade as accomplice waaay before.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: They were like partners, ah?
[ SwedishFish ]: Heh.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: But one fine day, I saw the car she stole on the lot.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: The guitar she gave in exchange for it was gone too.
[ SwedishFish ]: Where is the car now?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: A few days later, she came back, needing another car for one o' her 'friends'.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: This time, she had real money.
[ SwedishFish ]: pulls out a pencil and his school books.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Donno where the car went.
[ SwedishFish ]: begins writing on the flyleafs.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: On the lot, last I saw it.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I overheard her needing some kind of safe cracker.
[ Kidman ]: sits happily, listening to tales of yore
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: coinkidink, I knew a lock man
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Then when she needed a plane, I knew a pilot.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: So it started from there.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She didn't tell me to call her Carmen until later.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I get a feelin it ain't her real name.
[ Kidman ]: A name is just that.
[ SwedishFish ]: But it must be.
[ Kidman ]: I wish to meet Sarah Nade....
[ Kidman ]: Oh the stories she must have...
[ SwedishFish ]: It was confirmed with ACME when she first became an agent, ja?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: And that thing about Carmen being boyish, it was true.
[ SwedishFish ]: Gingerbread, Sarah Nade would not tell you anything important.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She was kinda awkward.
[ SwedishFish ]: She would only tell you about drinking parties
[ Kidman ]: How do you know?
[ SwedishFish ]: For riktigt.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Nay, I heard them ACME covert cases change agent names.
[ SwedishFish ]: I have talked with her for some few times.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Devineaux would know, cuz Imma bet that ain't his real name either.
[ Kidman ]: Besides, I would like to hear about the drinking parties.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Sarah'll tell you about Carmen's love for house music.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: ha hah
[ SwedishFish ]: Heh.
[ Kidman ]: She does?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: OH ya
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: that girl she can dance
[ Kidman ]: collects songs for mix CD.
[ SwedishFish ]: I have never seen Carmen as a dancer...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: It ain't the dancin you see on stage, boy.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: It's just hot, she moves sexy.
[ SwedishFish ]: :weird:
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Imma honest, ah?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I know what looks good.
[ Kidman ]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc3tAqc-2IY
[ SwedishFish ]: I am only wondering what dancing you assume I thought.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: hah hah
[ Kidman ]: Mozart remix
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: good one
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: she'll love it
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Keeps her head clear, ah?
[ Kidman ]: If Master loves this sort, I have quite a bit!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I swear, I worry about that Chase fella.
[ Kidman ]: It keeps me fluid.
[ Kidman ]: How so?
[ Kidman ]: The darkness?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Talkin about a clear head.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: One time, she took us out to the desert in Navada.
[ Kidman ]: He seems pretty open to suggestion at the moment...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: And comes this Chase guy, in a silver Porsche....
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: They start talkin' then they start playin, I donno what.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: The Boom! She crashes into his car.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She ain't like that, y'know
[ Kidman ]: She was spooked is all....
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She just don't do that.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Not with anyone.
[ SwedishFish ]: That was with Lee Jordan's car, I trust.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Yeah!
[ SwedishFish ]: He mentioned that.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Then she gets out o' the car like it ain't no thing.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Like she's planned to crash it all along.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: But I bet she weren't planning to trash it int' Chase's.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: So I got to thinkin'
[ SwedishFish ]: And now your idiot clown steals it...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Somethin's wrong
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: He ain't no clown, thought he made that clear.
[ SwedishFish ]: Right... :rolleyes:
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Then! The Blue Moon thing
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She went and stole his watch
[ Kidman ]: Should...we be telling the ACME this...?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: The Italian prime minister was right there!
[ SwedishFish ]: I am glad I never attended.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Whoops
[ SwedishFish ]: Mascarade - idiotic.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Golly I'm useless
[ SwedishFish ]: Heh. Right.
[ SwedishFish ]: No, no, Vic. Keep talking.
[ Kidman ]: No you aren't. You're wonderful.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Ferget I said anything about her 'n' Chase, will ya?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I got a respect for that guy, Chase.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: But I ain't sayin' more.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Just hope he knows what he's doin'
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: because when this thing hits the fan.... there's gonna be casualties.
[ Kidman ]: I worry about the company he keeps.
[ SwedishFish ]: Company?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: That Euge, he ain't bad.
[ SwedishFish ]: Is that an insult?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: For that one Christmas, he helped Carmen fly Santa to the orphanage at Minsk.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Mikal was Santa.
[ SwedishFish ]: Mikal? No!
[ SwedishFish ]: Serious?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: 'Cept that we were told to keep it hushed. Carmen don't like it when people see her all kind and nice.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: A thief's gotta have a reputation, ah?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Serious, swear to God it happened.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: But good luck gettin' anything out of anybody on that.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I'd ask Chase, he'd admit first, cuz he can't lie out right.
[ SwedishFish ]: Heheh
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: ha hah

[ Kidman ]: Did you read the file?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Writing and all
[ Kidman ]: Hm? How so?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: yeppers
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Lee's a nutcase
[ Kidman ]: Oh that. Cheers, mate.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: but you read when he said he don't think Chase deserves it?
[ Kidman ]: I was happy you joined on.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: THAT's it!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I had my suspicions on that.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I was happy Carmen told me about it!
[ Kidman ]: Hmmm. I admit, I wasn't sure what he meant by that.
[ Kidman ]: Oh, my case?
[ Kidman ]: I was drafted, you know.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I know she said.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: good she drafted ya
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: we need some wild cards about now
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Carmen's still ah... thrown off by Chase's react.
[ Kidman ]: I was taken by surprise.
[ Kidman ]: Where you in on it?
[ Kidman ]: Were.
[ Kidman ]: So sorry.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: No, not in on it at all.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: The tower blowin' up?
[ Kidman ]: My being tapped.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: ahh, nah
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She don't tell anyone anything.
[ Kidman ]: It was so out of the blue. I thought she'd long forgotten me.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She only told me after your first post.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: when you emailed her.
[ Kidman ]: It was truly an honor.
[ Kidman ]: Is
[ Kidman ]: In case this hasn't been forwarded to you;
[ Kidman ]: http://www.theseventhstarprojects.com/Chase.rtf
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Classic Chase!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Nice you got stuff out of him.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Nah, I never saw this.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Carmen doesn't always share things like this, y'know.
[ Kidman ]: Kidman is good at what she does...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: For story plots, she'd tell me go here, do that, and I make up everything in between.
[ Kidman ]: I thought I should share with you as well. We're her first line of defense.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Niiiiice!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I'll be stuck in Brazil tho
[ Kidman ]: I should like to contact Sarah Nade as well.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: but I'll be tryin' to escape
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Sarah's E. Mayhem
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: same person
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: playing two roles
[ Kidman ]: We'll come for you.
[ Kidman ]: Oh! She was here a night ago.
[ Kidman ]: I'll have to PM her.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: right righto!
[ Kidman ]: How dependable is Patty?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I gots her Gmail too
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Patty's reliable for stories, but only if carmen is behind her.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: she'll try play places, but she can't keep her own story goin'
[ Kidman ]: Hmmm... I think I'll jsut keep information between the three of you, with Carmen's permission.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: got it, good idea
[ Kidman ]: When do you think ACME will make their move?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: When they're ready.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: You know what I'm afraid of?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: This is just between you and me Kid
[ Kidman ]: yes?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I don't want t' step over Carmen
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: But I gotta for this one thing.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I donno why she took the tower.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I hope, dangit, I pray! that it ain't cuz of Chase too.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Because its like kickin a lion
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: or a tiger or somethin
[ Kidman ]: Has anyone asked her? No...that wouldn't yield much....
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Bingo!
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She won't say anything.
[ Kidman ]: She's her own worst enemy, just as he said...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: or she'll deny it all
[ Kidman ]: She wanted to up the game.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She's got a head you can trust, but she's got a heart too, y'know.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I donno what that heart's thinkin.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I don't think I wanna know
[ Kidman ]: That, my friend, is why I signed on.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I gotta wonder if she's hurt that he destroyed the tower.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: You know when Chase wrote near his last post in Hiatus?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: About how he don't see the tower as home anymore?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: It starts t' look different to him out here in the desert.
[ Kidman ]: Hmmm...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: THAT's what Carmen sees.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I know she's said b'fore, ACME's now a stranger t' her.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: So I got to thinkin that's what she wanted Chase t' see.
[ Kidman ]: Is she trying to bring him over?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Nah
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I think she just wants him to know somethin'
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: But I'm an old sap, I donno everythin'
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I see, I observe, then I think
[ Kidman ]: She invited a point of view and he rejected it?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She left him the piano, y'know
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: it was like his piano.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I think she extended it as a peace treaty
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: He blew it up with the rest of the tower.
[ Kidman ]: Oh Carmen....
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: She's nev'r gonna admit
[ Kidman ]: The yin and yang, complimentary but forever seperate.
[ Kidman ]: Heart of darkenss in light and heart of light in darkness
[ Kidman ]: So fragile a balance...
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I gotta say, he ain't bad
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: If he'd come to this side, I'd trust 'im
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: But this ain't how these things work.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: For him, she's gonna have to pay for her crimes, ah?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: You got that Batman Catwoman thing goin'
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I can't explain it better than that.
[ Kidman ]: I'm concerned over those who could use this wound for worse things.
[ Kidman ]: Like Euge, and to a lesser extent, Lee.
[ Kidman ]: Sounds dead on.
[ Kidman ]: If she was caught and we couldn't free her, how long will they keep her, do you think?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I donno, but I know Chase won't keep his eyes off 'er.
[ Kidman ]: A curse and a blessing.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: He'll stay in front of her cell all night all day.
[ Kidman ]: Almost siblings, aren't they?
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: But we got laywers
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Siblings, I'd say!
[ Kidman ]: Big Brother Chase. It fits.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: He's older by a few years, ah?
[ Kidman ]: I'm not sure, but it feels that way, chastizing is little sister.
[ Kidman ]: Will you be on a bit? I have to leave for fifteen minutes.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: That's how he said he used t' see her.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: then she grew up, and got the curves
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: and ain't his little sister no more.
[ Kidman ]: Hah ha
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: I gotta go sleep a while, early mornin tomorrow
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Good talk, Kid
[ Kidman ]: Ah, then cheers, mate.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Glad you care about Carmen 's much as I do
[ Kidman ]: I feel the same about you.
[ Kidman ]: I worried I'd be alone on this.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: Have one 'o them great days!
[ Kidman ]: Cheers, love.
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: YOu should talk t' patts, she'll back any story up
[ Kidman ]: You too
[ Vic-the-Slick ]: bye!
