  1. [19:50:22] <Roget> Ralph knocks on the door
  2. [19:50:44] * tretter has quit (Quit: Leaving)
  3. [19:50:51] <Denied_Existence> Stefan looks up at Ralph. The door is open. "Come on in, I'm not doing much."
  4. [19:51:49] <Roget> Ralph steps in. "Hello, Stefan."
  5. [19:53:49] <Denied_Existence> "Afternoon, Ralph. Did last night go well for you? I know Eriko was pretty shaken up after everything that has happened." he responds in a concerned tone.
  6. [19:54:33] <Roget> "Well.. that's part of what I came here for. I'd like to request some... leave time, for psychological reasons."
  7. [19:54:49] * Alivi has quit (Client exited)
  8. [19:55:55] <Denied_Existence> Stefan nods, indicating a comfy chair in front right of his desk, tilted at a 45 degree angle. "Close the door and have a seat, if you would."
  9. [19:56:11] <Roget> Ralph does so.
  10. [19:56:56] * Azzleflux (Mibbit@synIRC-35643CE2.hsd1.tn.comcast.net) has joined
  11. [19:57:14] * Azzleflux has left
  12. [19:58:13] <Denied_Existence> Stefan takes out some papers from a drawer and looks a few over before glancing back to Ralph. "What would you say the primary reason for your request is?"
  13. [19:59:28] <Roget> "Stress. Eri is really... unwell. She's going to be completely burnt out before long."
  14. [20:00:56] <Denied_Existence> "Have you talked to her about requesting leave in addition to yourself?"
  15. [20:02:06] <Roget> "Yeah, I have. I'm requesting specific leave to Okinawa."
  16. [20:04:02] <Denied_Existence> "Looking for somewhere tropical, then?"
  17. [20:04:49] <Roget> "Someplace for her, close to home. It's isolated from the japanese home islands, so we won't run into anyone she knew."
  18. [20:05:56] <Denied_Existence> He nods, glancing back down at the array of paperwork he has, and writing a few things down. "Are you sure you would prefer just leave and not a full transfer?"
  19. [20:06:56] <Roget> Ralph nods. "She doesn't want to leave the people here permanently, and neither do I."
  20. [20:07:16] <PuppetXCOMs> June goes to hang out in rec and be depressed.
  21. [20:07:49] <TheRaven> Taggart is sitting in rec, drinking coffee.
  22. [20:07:54] * PuppetXCOMs is now known as Puppetmaster
  23. [20:08:09] <Puppetmaster> June nods to him and sits across from him.
  24. [20:09:14] <Denied_Existence> Some more writing. "This isnt supposed to hold much for my own decision, at first guess how long do you think you would prefer to have on leave?"
  25. [20:10:08] <Roget> "Uhhhm... a few weeks, I guess? Long enough to get settled and do stuff before we have to go back."
  26. [20:10:25] <Roget> "Probably... four or five, maybe more, but not too much more than that."
  27. [20:10:44] <TheRaven> "Hey."
  28. [20:11:22] <Puppetmaster> June's voice is quiet. "Hey, Jack."
  29. [20:11:31] <TheRaven> "Okay, what's up?"
  30. [20:12:31] <Puppetmaster> "Pfffff. Lost a couple friends. Not exactly... happy about that."
  31. [20:13:36] <Denied_Existence> Stefan smiles, nodding. He gestures towards a couch and chair in much more spacious area of the officer, standing. "I'd like to ask you some questions more specific to our work. You may lay down if you would like."
  32. [20:13:55] <TheRaven> "What do you mean?"
  33. [20:14:11] <Roget> "Oh, uh, sure." Ralph goes to lay his bad self down
  34. [20:15:02] <Puppetmaster> "Ralph and Eriko kind of..." Sigh. "Well, they say they don't hate me, but I can't exactly say they like me... Or that I believe Ralph on that one, either."
  35. [20:16:27] <TheRaven> "Both of 'em are pretty shaken up at this point."
  36. [20:16:40] <Denied_Existence> Stefan brings a notebook with him, sitting down in the nearby chair. He flicks on a stereo on the coffee table next to the couch on, some light classical music softly infiltrating the room to break up any silent moments. "Which mission would you place as the largest source of your current stress, Ralph?"
  37. [20:17:02] * CaptainPowley (Mibbit@synIRC-3F5D6CB0.dsl.teksavvy.com) has joined
  38. [20:17:16] <Roget> "The, uh, forest place. It was... bad."
  39. [20:17:22] <Puppetmaster> "And, evidently, I'm no longer their friend. I still consider them my friends, but... The feeling isn't mutual."
  40. [20:19:27] <Denied_Existence> "Mmhm." he notes, " Could you tell me parts of the mission were most disturbing, or stressful, to you, and by extension, Eriko?...assuming you are comfortable with doing so."
  41. [20:19:58] <Roget> "Probably... the dead kids, and the guys who ate them. And... Eri, she was stressed by having to commit genocide."
  42. [20:20:11] * Wogglebug (Wogglebug@Woggleberg.Wogglesville.Wogglesylvania) has joined
  43. [20:21:01] * Candescent has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  44. [20:21:23] <Wogglebug> Arthur sits in his lab, working.
  45. [20:21:27] * Uncandescent (Mibbit@synIRC-CAD95E61.hsd1.mi.comcast.net) has joined
  46. [20:21:43] <Roget> ROll engineering
  47. [20:22:26] * Snowshoe (~cgiirc@1D9476C5.B07B212D.FE8CE76C.IP) has joined
  48. [20:23:03] * ChanServ gives channel operator status to Snowshoe
  49. [20:25:00] <Denied_Existence> "Could you relate to me Eriko's actions and those leading up to it?"
  50. [20:25:55] * Pixeltasim has quit (Quit: Prepare for the overlords )
  51. [20:26:08] * Pixeltasim (~Pixeltasi@synIRC-BD02354B.rcmdva.fios.verizon.net) has joined
  52. [20:26:16] <TheRaven> "You're lucky you weren't on the pool op last night."
  53. [20:26:32] <Roget> "Well... June and Howard split off from the group... they heard the voices of dead kids. Eri went after them, and... they kept yelling at her to do stuff, and she... tossed thermite into the pit and destroyed the world."
  54. [20:28:58] <Denied_Existence> "Do you know if Eriko was experiencing these auditory hallucinations also?"
  55. [20:29:18] <Puppetmaster> "I heard. But still, point is, I lost two good friends."
  56. [20:31:08] <TheRaven> "That's how things go."
  57. [20:33:01] <Roget> "She was."
  58. [20:33:53] * Uncandescent has left
  59. [20:34:04] <Denied_Existence> "Did she happen to tell you what she had been hearing, whether during the fact or after?"
  60. [20:34:40] * Uncandescent (Mibbit@synIRC-CAD95E61.hsd1.mi.comcast.net) has joined
  61. [20:34:41] <Roget> "She said they were asking to die... but I don't know how they spoke. She wasn't really chatty about it."
  62. [20:34:53] <Puppetmaster> Another sigh. "Universe picked a pretty shite day for that to happen."
  63. [20:35:18] <TheRaven> "How so?"
  64. [20:36:13] <Puppetmaster> "... Let's just say, happy birthday to me."
  65. [20:38:00] <TheRaven> "...damn."
  66. [20:38:23] <Puppetmaster> "Yeah, pretty much."
  67. [20:38:48] <Denied_Existence> "I understand. Does your stress from that mission stem primarily from Eriko's?"
  68. [20:39:00] <TheRaven> "Did you wanna do...anything?"
  69. [20:39:35] * Proto_Lost (Mibbit@71F56C3D.5118DC5D.39F9E7BB.IP) has joined
  70. [20:39:59] <Roget> "... Yeah, it does. It's hard to see her like this."
  71. [20:40:12] <Puppetmaster> "Nothing in particular, but it was a bit of a slap to the face."
  72. [20:40:42] <Denied_Existence> "Were there any lasting stress caused by factors other than her own?"
  73. [20:41:26] <Roget> "... They were eating kids. I still don't know how to deal with that."
  74. [20:41:54] <TheRaven> "I can understand that."
  75. [20:43:47] <Puppetmaster> "... What are birthdays usually like on site?"
  76. [20:46:03] <TheRaven> "Eh, I've never really bothered with mine."
  77. [20:46:30] <Denied_Existence> "I suppose I will have to talk with her more about it." he notes, "Would mind telling me a bit more about your relationship with her?"
  78. [20:46:55] <Puppetmaster> "Anyone else?"
  79. [20:47:02] <Roget> "We're married, happily."
  80. [20:47:27] <TheRaven> "Not that I really recall, nope."
  81. [20:48:29] <Puppetmaster> "Hmm. Interesting."
  82. [20:48:36] <Denied_Existence> "Did you meet while in this task force or had you known her previously?"
  83. [20:49:04] <Puppetmaster> "I'd think they'd be even more important here than other sites."
  84. [20:49:16] <TheRaven> "I think it comes down to the outlook here being 'any day a cosmic horror doesn't swallow me hole is a good day.'"
  85. [20:49:25] <Roget> "I met her here, at the old site, before the big one."
  86. [20:51:05] <Denied_Existence> A nod. "What would you say you found most interesting about her?"
  87. [20:51:10] * Uncandescent has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  88. [20:51:28] <Puppetmaster> "Yeah, but it's also something that says 'hey, I've been around a bit and I'm still here'."
  89. [20:51:34] * Gara has quit (Ping timeout)
  90. [20:51:36] <Roget> "When I first met her?"
  91. [20:52:34] <Denied_Existence> "As you got to know her."
  92. [20:53:30] <Roget> "Well... she was really smart, and nice... she had a definite desire to learn more about western culture, and to do her job."
  93. [20:53:49] <Puppetmaster> "Thought it might be a.. special occasion."
  94. [20:54:08] <Roget> "... She thought I was funny." he smiles. "I made her laugh, and that was nice. It still is."
  95. [20:54:24] <TheRaven> "Last time we had any fun was Ralph's bachelor party, and even that got ruined by some jerks."
  96. [20:57:29] <Denied_Existence> Stefan gives a small smile. "It is certainly a good thing to have a desire to learn, and I'm glad you feel that your relationship has further potential." he replies, "When would you say your current stress began to be noticable? The previously discussed mission, or prior to that?"
  97. [20:59:20] * lurkd (Mibbit@2BD19123.CFF725DC.C015B07D.IP) has joined
  98. [21:00:17] <Roget> "She's had... issues for awhile. Stress and anxiety, from what she left in Japan. Her parents were told she was dead, by... her fiance. Kazuya."
  99. [21:00:53] <Denied_Existence> Stefan gives an assuring nod, listening attentively.
  100. [21:01:26] <Puppetmaster> June shrugs and adjusts her sling. "Sites I worked prior, birthdays were a pretty big thing... To everyone else, anyway."
  101. [21:01:57] <lurkd> Elif bounces a racquet ball against a wall.
  102. [21:02:07] <Roget> "When she left, and came here, it wasn't really easy for her... and a lot of other people tried to mess with her. Kaine, adam, and some others tried to take advantage of her. Plus, deaths on the site hurt her, and then... the big one."
  103. [21:03:08] <TheRaven> "The pool...I swear the damn thing can sense when stuff's going on. We had the wedding in the mess prefab, pool decided to crash it with some kind of snake-pig."

  107. [21:05:36] <Roget> Elif, agility

  112. [21:10:40] <Roget> Elif, you manage to dodge the racquet ball as it goes wild, bouncing down the hallway
  113. [21:12:43] <Denied_Existence> "So, just generally building since you and she joined the team?"
  114. [21:14:02] <lurkd> "Whoa!"
  115. [21:14:05] <Roget> "Yeah."
  116. [21:14:08] <lurkd> *sigh*
  117. [21:14:14] <lurkd> Elif goes after it.
  118. [21:15:07] <Roget> Roll perception
  119. [21:15:26] <lurkd> 6df+5

  121. [21:15:59] <Roget> Elif sees it as it rolls into the MENS ROOM!!!
  122. [21:16:47] <lurkd> ".....fuck it."
  123. [21:16:55] <lurkd> Elif goes in.
  124. [21:17:20] <Roget> Elif, roll sneak if you have points in it
  125. [21:17:47] <lurkd> She has none
  126. [21:18:11] * Wogglebug has quit (Ping timeout)
  127. [21:18:32] <Roget> Elif, roll agility to get in and get out quick.
  128. [21:18:38] * ShangXiao (numanuma@yay.yay) has joined
  129. [21:19:08] <lurkd> 6df+5 5 is her lucky number
  130. [21:19:08] <Glacon> lurkd: 5 is her lucky number: 4 (6df+5=0, 0, -, 0, -, +)
  131. [21:19:28] * ShangXiao is now known as Xiao
  132. [21:20:05] <Denied_Existence> Stefan looks over his notes. "That appears to be all need from you for now. Since your stress primarily extends from Eriko's, I imagine my decision, and the decision of our superiors, will be primarily based off her own evaluation. However, I have been urged to do a once-over across the staff to check for things like this, so you may get plenty of time to
  133. [21:20:11] <Denied_Existence> relax and rejuvinate."
  134. [21:20:13] * Wogglebug (~chatzilla@synIRC-B0502B9A.tampfl.dsl-w.verizon.net) has joined
  135. [21:20:27] * TheRaven has quit (Quit: Sail away where no ball and chain can keep us from the roarin' waves, together undivided but forever we'll be free!)
  136. [21:23:06] <Roget> Fish is in the bathroom, washing his hands. His eyes widen as Elif comes in. The ball is at his feet.
  137. [21:23:18] * Xiao has quit (Connection reset by peer)
  138. [21:23:54] <lurkd> "Yeah... my ball." Elif points.
  139. [21:23:59] <Roget> Ralph nods. "Alright... what do you think of my request's possibility, with your history in the field? Do you think it'll go through?"
  140. [21:24:01] * ShangXiao (numanuma@yay.yay) has joined
  141. [21:24:09] <Roget> Fish looks like a deer caught in headlights.
  142. [21:24:20] * Snowshoe has quit (Quit: CGI:IRC (Ping timeout))
  143. [21:25:07] <lurkd> "Dude, just relax. I just came for the ball." Elif approaches him and grabs it. She washes it in the adjacent sink.
  144. [21:25:20] <lurkd> "So... how are things?"
  145. [21:25:48] <Roget> "..." Fish doesn't even
  146. [21:26:59] <lurkd> "That well, huh?" Elif finishes then heads out. "Later, Fish."
  147. [21:27:11] <lurkd> *whistles*
  148. [21:27:27] <Denied_Existence> Stefan scratches his chin for a moment before responding. "I think it is fairly likely. You and her both have been on the team for quite a while, and certainly havent had any discipline problems as far as I am aware. Despite what some may believe, the Foundation doesnt like having its keter personell burning themselves out."
  149. [21:27:57] <Roget> Fish decides he can just live in the sink from now on.
  150. [21:28:28] <Roget> Ralph nods. "Alright. Thank you, Stefan. Do you want me to send her here when I see her?"
  151. [21:29:14] <Denied_Existence> "Yes please, Ralph. That would help greatly, but I will go get her myself if you are unable to convince her."
  152. [21:29:35] <Denied_Existence> "Although i'm pretty sure your suggestion willl be enough."
  153. [21:29:36] * ShangXiao has quit (Connection reset by peer)
  154. [21:30:01] <Roget> "I will, then. Is that all?"
  155. [21:30:13] <lurkd> ~poor, fish~
  156. [21:30:24] <Denied_Existence> "For now, yes, thank you, Ralph."
  157. [21:31:04] <Roget> "Does this count as my psych eval, or are you going to see me again?"
  158. [21:31:08] * ShangXiao (numanuma@yay.yay) has joined
  159. [21:31:18] <lurkd> Elif walks down the hall with a clean ball.
  160. [21:31:28] <Roget> It's sparkly
  161. [21:31:46] <lurkd> Elif smiles and dribbles it.
  162. [21:31:59] <Denied_Existence> "Our superiors do not have an eval date decided on yet, and inevitably if it is a ways away I will have to re-evaluate, due to the length of time."
  163. [21:32:30] * ShangXiao has quit (Connection reset by peer)
  164. [21:32:46] <Denied_Existence> "And of course there will be a re-evaluation of your state by an off-site Foundation psychologist at the end of your leave."
  165. [21:32:55] <Roget> Ralph nods. "Alright. I'll probably head to rec, so if you need me, just call."
  166. [21:33:12] <lurkd> Elif heads for Rec.
  167. [21:33:14] <Roget> dribbadribbadribba. The bounces are very satisfying, Elif.
  168. [21:33:40] <lurkd> ~I wanna be like mike!~
  169. [21:34:30] <Denied_Existence> "Of course, Ralph. Have a good rest of the day."
  170. [21:34:43] <Roget> Ralph heads out to the rec zone.
