- * Gerard is sitting on the couch smoking a cigarette, barely paying attention to the trid as he stares into space.
- 16:08 * Loviatar is currently in a chair out of direct line of pain from a window. She has her wards up...but she still doesn't LIKE the sun. She has a book in hand and is transcribing it to AR.
- * ViVa , on the other hand, is sitting upside-down on a fluffy chair, fiddling with something in AR. Possibly artwork, possibly something more (or less) sinister.
- 16:10 * Vikki is recolined on a couch, watching trid footage of some women's wrestling league or another. It seemed to be a somehwat short for her kind, if muscular, red-headed elf against a Fomori.
- 16:14 <Loviatar> "If you keep doing that ViVa, you are going to have all the blood rush to your head."
- <ViVa> "It helps me think!"
- * Gerard mumbles. "I think they have ware for that" around his smoke.
- 16:15 <ViVa> "Yeah, cool, but no. My holistic health is very important to me, not the least because... well... reasons, you know?" She pauses for a moment, frowning at something. "God damned photoshop layers..."
- 16:16 * Vikki glances back to ViVA, "Pretty sure it doesn't work that way, no."
- <Loviatar> "...fine, don't come crying to me when you give yourself a headache and fall down."
- 16:21 * Loviatar sighs and puts down the book "...ok, I'm officially bored."
- 16:22 <ViVa> "I could fall over and call up some drones for wacky hijinks?"
- 16:23 * Gerard shrugs. "If that's what you want."
- 16:24 <Vikki> "Would that be anything like the -last- time you did that?"
- <ViVa> "Look, we only had to burn out THREE rooms, our insurance covered the whole thing!"
- 16:26 * Vikki shrugs and goe sback to her wrestling with a light grin.
- 16:28 <ViVa> "We didn't even have to hide any bodies or anything."
- <ViVa> "Unless those four devil-rats count."
- <Gerard> "Anyway, so how are we progressing for the job? I went and picked up some LAWs for the demolition part."
- 16:29 <Vikki> "Anja had a couple of choice things to say about this Alister fellow. You did get all that, by the way, ViVa?"
- 16:30 <ViVa> "Sure, even if you hadn't sent it to me."
- * ViVa pauses for a beat.
- 16:31 <ViVa> "Not that I have everyone's private lines tapped or anything."
- <Loviatar> "About that. Viva...I want you to do something for me. With the footage we have of him and the girl."
- 16:32 <ViVa> "Yeah?"
- 16:34 <Loviatar> "Can you hide her identity? As well as...he has footage of him with other people..."
- <Loviatar> *of himself
- 16:35 <ViVa> "Oh, sure, wouldn't be hard to do at all."
- <ViVa> "We releasing the anonymized videos to the masses?"
- 16:38 <Loviatar> "I was thinking a compilation, sent to several news outlets. That would be great ratings for them..."
- 16:40 * ViVa nods. "Mmm, agreed. Totally within my power. Do you have the extra footage or am I busting into this house for them?"
- <ViVa> ((*his))
- 16:42 <Loviatar> "The latter. The girl I met only had her own footage." She frowns "Even if we were not getting paid, I'd want to bring him down right now."
- 16:43 <Gerard> "It is kinda good to feel like you're doing the right thing."
- 16:44 <ViVa> "I always do the right thing!" ViVa grins, flipping right side up. "I'll get a crack team of sprites ready for this. It'll be great!"
- <ViVa> "I *might* fall over half-dead."
- <ViVa> "This is normal."
- <Loviatar> "Or at least, bad things to a complete assjack."
- <ViVa> "Not right now, though. Need to prepare.
- 16:45 <Vikki> "I'd like to make sure he gets out of this alive," she remarks, "Not because I don't think he deserves to freeze in Hel, but just because it would be worse for him to live with his shame."
- 16:46 <Gerard> "That should be doable. Might make the demolition easier too, if his security is offsite with him."
- <Loviatar> "Well yes. That and if we kill him, it becomes 'Insulting his legacy' not 'Revealing what a scum sucking assjack he is."
- 16:47 <ViVa> "We're in it to ruin him, not to kill him. I dunno about you, but killing a man we're ruining seems like a waste to me."
- 16:48 <ViVa> "So much more exciting to watch a man's reaction as his life burns down around him and he has no one but himself to blame, or so he thinks."
- * ViVa chuckles. It is a dark, evil chuckle.
- <Vikki> "We're in agreement, then," she looks to ViVa with a bit of concern. The girl ain't right.
- 16:50 * ViVa glances over to Vikki. "What?"
- 16:56 <Vikki> "It's just when you get like that, you creep -me- out. That's saying something, ya'?"
- <ViVa> "Get like what?"
- 16:57 <Gerard> "I'm not sure what you're getting at Vikki."
- * ViVa looks completely innocent of wrongdoing or insanity.
- 16:58 * Vikki grumbles, shaking her head, "Whatever."
- 17:01 * ViVa shrugs. "I think we're all perfectly normal, well-adjusted people." She looks over to Vikki. "So, wrestling, huh?"
- 17:05 * Vikki nods with enthusiasm, "Yes. It's such a rush. All that drama, but no words. The expression is purer than that. Body to body passion." Totally not creepy or wierd at all.
- 17:06 <Gerard> "They had pit fights like that in Bogota. Nothing real passionate about it. Just starving people killing each other to get the money for a little more food." He seems weirdly nonchalant about what he just said.
- 17:07 <ViVa> "Cool. I've kinda wanted to get into sports for a bit, but nothing's really grabbed me yet... just not a very physical person." She glances over to Gerard. "... I am resisting the urge to script up a cheap, quick Hobofight game."
- 17:10 * Gerard shrugs. "Generally wasn't that entertaining, but it was something to do where you didn't have to worry as much about getting attacked."
- 17:12 <Vikki> "Oh?" She looks to ViVa with a smile, "What sports have you tried?" She then looks to Gerard with a frown, "That sounds awful. Fighting in desperation is the worst kind of fighting."
- <Gerard> "It was, but it's not like that was something uncommon. It's a war zone, after all."
- 17:15 <ViVa> "Baseball, hoopball, football, boxing, urban brawl, combat biking so far."
- <ViVa> "Combat biking looked REALLY COOL, except apparently you aren't allowed to automate the bikes at all?"
- <ViVa> "So no fully-rigged combat biking team."
- 17:16 <Vikki> "Combat biking's pretty fun, ya. An' you box? We should spar sometime. I love boxing!"
- 17:19 <Loviatar> "I am not much of a physical person. More than I used to be, a long time ago, but still not much. Unless you want to try dogfighting."
- 17:21 <ViVa> "No, no, I mean, watching."
- * ViVa raises up an arm. "I have arms like wet noodles."
- 17:23 <Loviatar> "I think that's an insult to noodles."
- 17:24 <Vikki> "Noodles? Ugh, now I'm hungry."
- <ViVa> "This is a fair and compelling point. I WAS gonna try combat biking, but, well, no rigging. Which is fair I guess?"
- <ViVa> "Want me to go get something cooked, or order the kitchen to?"
- 17:26 <Vikki> "Uh, sure, thanks," she comments before looking back to the match. The elf was surprisingly gaining the upper hand.
- 17:27 <ViVa> "Allllright! Time to see if I'm any better at british cuisine than I was at german..."
- * ViVa stands up, and heads to the kitchen!
- 17:28 <Gerard> "Should I go ahead and order takeout now? Or wait until she's done."
- <Loviatar> "Might as well give her a chance."
- 17:30 <Vikki> "Well, whatever it is I can eat it, assuming she actually gets something out without burning the kitchen down, ya?"
- * ViVa pokes her head in. "No one's allergic to eels, right?"
