  1. 2019-01-31 Goldfish
  2. Wolf, Sydney
  3.  
  4. [18:59:40] <Wolf> *It's sometime the next morning when Sydney has a visitor at her workstation. Wolf, fidgeting with his hands and seemingly avoiding eye contact.* H.. Hey, uh, I was wondering if we could talk-
  5. [19:01:42] <Sydney> One sec. *Sydney finishes a long brushstroke, then dunks her paintbrush in a cup of dingy-looking water. She turns and smiles.* 'Sup?
  6. [19:02:30] <Wolf> *He takes a glance at the mask before his eyes shoot back up when she speaks.* I.. I wanted to talk about what- what you said. Last night.
  7. [19:04:43] <Sydney> *The mask seems to be a version of Dallas' mask. No noticeable changes have been made to the sculpt. Sydney crosses her arms, looking down.* Figured you might. Was even thinkin' about coming and talking to you.
  8. [19:06:48] <Wolf> R-Right. *He takes a deep breath, closing his eyes, choosing his words very carefully.* I... *He opens his eyes again.* I understand. I understand.. that you feel that way. Cause, cause it's hard to get attached to people. Because they die. Or you die. Or you scare them off. I know what that's like, trust me.
  9. [19:11:15] <Sydney> *She silently eyes him for a long moment. Eventually she exhales, nodding* Yeah. Something like that.
  10. [19:11:53] <Wolf> .. Is it something different? You.. You can talk to me, you know.
  11. [19:13:48] <Sydney> It's more like...there's people I can respect, and people I can't. Like, I'll fuck Aishe no problem, but I don't know if I can care about her yet. I dunno if she's just one of the mindless masses.
  12. [19:14:15] <Sydney> Collateral damage waiting to happen.
  13. [19:15:49] <Wolf> .. Yeah, yeah. I get that. The civvies, they die easiest of all. It's like getting attached to a goldfish. It'll be dead in 2 weeks, but there's still something about it.
  14. [19:16:02] <Wolf> ..... Goldfish aren't people, of course.
  15. [19:16:09] <Wolf> They die like people.
  16. [19:18:06] <Sydney> Yeah, exactly! *She stands up, getting off her stool.* You get it.
  17. [19:19:24] <Wolf> Yeah, yeah. *He smiles.* We're different from the others, we are. And that's what makes us so great.
  18. [19:21:50] <Sydney> *She gives him a wide smile, but it soon fades.* Heard you had a wife and kid, yeah? What are they to you?
  19. [19:24:08] <Wolf> ... *He looks down, for a second.* I.. I'd like to see them again. I would. But.. It'd make everything worse. For everyone. I made my decision, when I left for America. I... I don't like to think about them. It makes me regret my decision.
  20. [19:26:54] <Sydney> Are they goldfish?
  21. [19:27:28] <Wolf> ...... Yeah. I wish they weren't.
  22. [19:27:57] <Wolf> I wish I could just leave them in the past.
  23. [19:29:27] <Sydney> Sorry, mate. *She nods solemnly.* That's why I always burn my bridges behind me.
  24. [19:29:43] <Wolf> *He looks back up at her* ....What about you? Did you leave anyone in Australia?
  25. [19:32:15] <Sydney> I have a family who hates and fears me. I was real tight with some of the Dingoes, but. Well. Things happened, and now they're fuckin scared of me too.
  26. [19:33:25] <Sydney> There's nothing left for me in Australia.
  27. [19:33:34] <Wolf> ... I get that. My folks'd fear me if they knew who I was. *Beat.* ... The Dingoes, they goldfish?
  28. [19:37:26] <Sydney> Some of them weren't. They just... didn't quite get it. They wouldn't go far enough, and the fact that I could scared them.
  29. [19:39:17] <Wolf> .. Makes sense. *He nods, looking down again.* .. Gang gets like that sometimes. Don't understand that sometimes people who aren't neccesarily evil have to die. Like civvies.
  30. [19:42:23] <Sydney> You guys are at least smart about things. Professionals. *She shakes her head.* One of the Dingoes used my real fucking name in front of the guards we had taken hostage. Then threw a fucking hissyfit when I killed them.
  31. [19:45:35] <Wolf> .. Shoulda killed the guy, too. Fuckin' rookie move.
  32. [19:47:18] <Sydney> Thought about it. But he was the official fuckin leader of the gang. The fuckwit. *She sighs, then looks up.* See why I left?
  33. [19:49:24] <Wolf> *He nods, quickly.* Yeah, yeah. Me, I flew solo for about 2 years before I wound up here. The gang's all I've really known.
  34. [19:50:58] <Sydney> It's a good group you've got here. *She hesitates, then adds,* Thanks for letting me be a part of it.
  35. [19:52:08] <Wolf> *Wolf smiles, chuckling.* Thanks for joining. I've never felt understood by anyone since you.
  36. [19:54:35] <Sydney> Me either. *She smiles.* People like us, we gotta stick together, yeah?
  37. [19:54:47] <Wolf> Always.
  38. [19:55:47] <Sydney> Cheers, mate. *She glances back at the mask.* ...Probably should get back to work. Gonna try'n have it finished before he gets back.
  39. [19:56:31] <Wolf> Yeah, yeah, gotcha. *He's out of her way quickly, back to the living room.*
  40. [19:57:05] <Sydney> *She watches him leave, almost says something, but doesn't.*
  41.  
  42. [20:02:24] <Dallas> ((Aww yeah! So let's maybe take a moment to figure out how you guys wanna approach the Tasteful. What the plan is. More casing? When are you planning on hitting it? Weekday, weekend?))
  43. [20:03:17] <Wolf> ((my brain says stealth but my heart says loud))
  44. [20:03:44] <Sydney> ((I'd say weekday. We want an audience but not too big of one
  45. [20:06:39] <Sydney> ((...honestly I'd suggest right around / slightly after closing time. Like 3-4AM. When the staff's there cleaning up, but are super tired))
  46. [20:09:39] <Hoxton> ((Good idea! And making sure the any mafia guys are gone for the night. They could be really nasty to have around.))
  47. [20:10:25] <Hoxton> ((Hox is actually sorry disappoint them :I Though...think we could mabe strike a deal with them? Looked like they beat Dmitri up?))
  48. [20:11:12] <Sydney> ((I thought the blood was from Dmitri beating the guy in the basement up))
  49. [20:13:03] <Hoxton> ((Yeah make sense. Damn. I like the closing time idea though. The less civvies to fuck things up the better.))
  50. [20:13:44] <Sydney> ((also as fun as it would be to do the heist at a time when Aishe could feasibly be there for Maximum Drama, it doesn't make sense realistically. --unless AIshe is passed out in the bathroom or something--))
  51. [20:14:25] <Dallas> ((Oh yeah, the more mayhem you cause at the club, the more chaotic it gets, the more Vlad swings from sad to glad.))
  52. [20:14:38] <Dallas> ((Bigger payout, but you guys are loaded, so it's not that big of a factor.))
  53. [20:14:58] <Sydney> ((ooh, if it's a bigger payout...))
  54. [20:15:19] <Wolf> ((Loud time))
  55. [20:19:58] <Sydney> ((...also ngl I kinda wanna toss a flashbang on the dancefloor. Stun everyone long enough for us to take control. Otherwise someone in the crowd is gonna have time to reach for a cell phone))
  56. [20:21:37] <Sydney> ((Also I realized there is a handy way to get into the manager's office))
  57. [20:21:45] <Sydney> ((That circumvents the door))
  58. [20:21:49] <Sydney> ((Skylight :D))
  59. [20:24:46] <Sydney> ((Cuz yeah. the big thing is gonna be taking control of the entire nightclub at once, before people can call for help. Seems like we'd need someone at the front entrance, one at the back exit, one in the manager's office, and one on the second floor balcony))
  60. [20:24:59] <Sydney> ((Work our way in))
  61. [20:25:24] <Sydney> ((Balcony person could be the one to toss the flashbang))
