  2. 1:39 PM <%Taffeta> 5:14 PM <%Taffeta> "That's what the doctors told me." Sam looks a little too cheerful when she says that. "Didn't stop me from getting through it, though."
  3. 1:39 PM <%Taffeta> 5:14 PM <%Taffeta> "Still not an experience I'd like to repeat, though. Rather not push my luck."
  4. 1:39 PM <%Taffeta> 5:19 PM <~DiePotato> "Well... Hell," Shira belts out a belly laugh and grins quite broadly. "you, Miss Satyana Dakshinamurthy have me beat in at least that category." She manages to pronounce Sam's name pretty much perfectly. "I have had many experiences, but I've never averted death that finely."
  5. 1:48 PM <%Taffeta> Satyana shrugs and continues to smile that little smile. "I suppose you know better than to let the situation get that far out of hand."
  6. 1:51 PM <~DiePotato> "Well, yes but that's because I don't feel like gambling with the reaper. It takes a certain level of bravery and perseverance to cheat fate like that. Luck as well. A special kind of luck."
  7. 1:51 PM <%Taffeta> "To be fair to you, I don't think I intended to make that bet."
  8. 1:56 PM <~DiePotato> "But you did make that bet, and you won. Sometimes the context or intentions behind an event don't matter in the face of its' consequences. In this case, even if you were fatally wounded for a reason that I would consider terrible, I would still congratulate you for not dying."
  9. 1:56 PM <%Taffeta> She chuckles. "I guess I'll take that."
  10. 1:59 PM <~DiePotato> "You should." Shira takes another drink of apple juice and adjusts the placement of her book again. "May I ask how it happened? I personally enjoy tales of people going from Hell and back, and I'd enjoy hearing yours."
  11. 2:07 PM <%Taffeta> "Mm, I was afraid you were going to ask that." Satyana drums her fingers on the table. "See, a head wound like this doesn't... usually give you the courtesy of remembering things too clearly, before or after."
  12. 2:09 PM <~DiePotato> "That's fortunately what other people are for." Shira fires back. "Nobody was there to tell you what happened? Or was it a mysterious gunman on a grassy knoll?"
  13. 2:15 PM <%Taffeta> Satyana snickers. "Well now, it wasn't all that exciting."
  14. 2:17 PM <%Taffeta> "Really it was more like a gunman on a nearby apartment building."
  15. 2:18 PM <~DiePotato> "..." Shira turns to face Sam head-on, more than a bit baffled. "They shot you in the head?"
  16. 2:20 PM <%Taffeta> "I don't think they were intending to, either, which makes it even more impressive."
  17. 2:23 PM <~DiePotato> "I was under the impress you were brained with a club or a flight of stairs." She turns back to face forwards while trying to wipe the surprise off of her face. "Gunshot to side of the head... Elevated position as well."
  18. 2:24 PM <%Taffeta> "And I was the wrong target."
  19. 2:24 PM <%Taffeta> "It would be perplexing if it wasn't so, uh... painful."

  21. 2:28 PM <~DiePotato> "Still hurts? I imagine it would around the skull but not the... well. Your brain. Any other ill-effects? I'd find it hard to believe if you made it out with /no ill-effects as all/."
  22. 2:28 PM <%Taffeta> "Uh... I'm told I get very..." Satyana searches for the word. "Absent-minded."
  23. 2:29 PM <%Taffeta> "...aha. Scatterbrained. I just got that."

  25. 2:32 PM <~DiePotato> "So you did." Shira shakes her head, resting her head on a hand. "I'm glad I'm not jaded to the point where people stop surprising me."
  26. 2:33 PM ⇐ @DSJ quit ↔ @DSJ|Mobile (opped) popped in
  27. 2:48 PM <%Taffeta> "I'm not usually a surprising person, but I'm a little..." Sam thinks about it for a moment. "...interested? That I managed to get even you a little off-guard."
  28. 2:51 PM <~DiePotato> "By 'even me' do you mean because of my history?" Shira looks over with a raised eyebrow. "Don't misunderstand, Sam. I may be experienced but by far there are still things I haven't seen, interesting stories I haven't heard, and situations I would never believe. Try not to think of me as anything more than what I am."
  29. 2:54 PM → Krydderi (was Krydderis58) joined
  30. 3:06 PM <%Taffeta> "I suppose that's true. Still, it's hard not to imagine you having seen a bit of everything in your time."
  31. 3:13 PM <~DiePotato> "I'll give you that." With a creak, Shira stands from her stool. "Mmh. This is a nice bar the Foundation's made but they could do with some stools that don't hurt my ass. Maybe I've been spoiled by nicer places, but still." She leans over the counter still standing. "This may be a bit over-reaching but do you have any family, Sam? I know you said you lived at home, so I assume your parents are or were still alive not too long ago."
  32. 3:16 PM <%Taffeta> "I'm happy to say that's... 'are alive', not 'were alive'. It's... It's not mutual, though."
  33. 3:16 PM <%Taffeta> Satyana's face twists into an expression that's difficult to read.

  35. 3:22 PM <~DiePotato> A slow nod from Shira as she sips at her drink. "Apologies. If it's a complicated topic you don't have to answer if you don't want to."
  36. 3:31 PM <%Taffeta> She shrugs. "It's very simple. Just a little painful."
  37. 3:36 PM <~DiePotato> "Pain tends to be that way. Simple in cause, but complicated to deal with." Shira shrugs and finishes the rest of her latest glass of apple juice off and picks up her suit jacket, draping it over one arm. "If you'll excuse me, Sam, it's getting quite late and while it's been a charming time I think I should try and get some rest."
  38. 3:39 PM <%Taffeta> "Even if I can't get any rest, that shouldn't stop you from getting some."
  39. 3:39 PM <%Taffeta> Sam raises her still-half full glass of Coke. "Have a good night."
  40. 3:40 PM <~DiePotato> Shira inclines her head and bows slightly just like before. "Have a good night as well, Sam."
  41. 3:40 PM <~DiePotato> She heads on off into the Night
  42. 3:40 PM <%Taffeta> Satyana watches her leave with a faintly wistful air.

  44. 5:08 PM <ArseneLupin> Bastian is in the biodome making some final adjustments on a sweater
  45. 5:11 PM <Klurg> Aveah arrives, wearing her original cyborg dolphin sweater Bastian made for her. "hey there? working on another sweater?"
  46. 5:13 PM <ArseneLupin> He looks up and grins when he sees it's her. "Yup!" He makes one more pass with the needle and turns it around to show her Boom For All sweater, with an A on the bottom hem
  47. 5:14 PM <Klurg> "I like it." Aveah gives him a smile as she sees the sweater. "how long have you been working on it?"
  48. 5:15 PM <ArseneLupin> "A few days. I technically had it finished already, but one of the seams was bugging me so I redid it."
  49. 5:15 PM TAFKeta → %Taffeta
  50. 5:17 PM <Klurg> "I see. that mine, yours, or Wren's?"
  51. 5:18 PM <ArseneLupin> He taps the A and holds it out. "Yours!"
  52. 5:21 PM <Klurg> Aveah takes it, and gives Bastian a quick hug. "thanks. what's the progress on the others?"
  53. 5:22 PM <ArseneLupin> He hugs back happily. "Done as well!"
  54. 5:24 PM <Klurg> "that's great. guess the only thing's left is to find Wren now. maybe the have the three of us walk around the site wearing the shirts."
  55. 5:25 PM <ArseneLupin> He nods. "Pay someone to follow us around with a speaker so we could look like one of those movie scenes
  56. 5:31 PM <Klurg> "usually I'd agree but there's only so much attention I can willingly attract before things go haywire."
  57. 5:32 PM <ArseneLupin> He laughs. "Alright, we'll nix the soundtrack. Although that's just gonna make the dance number look weird."
  58. 5:32 PM <Klurg> "...oh no. I cannot dance. I am strong not acrobatic."
  59. 5:35 PM <ArseneLupin> "Not with that attitude you cant. Have you even seen one of these movies? You say you don't dance, but then you go through your trials and tribulations alongside a montage so you can dance your ass off in the final scene!"
  60. 5:38 PM <Klurg> "yes and I hate them for that. so I will keep that attitude." She seems firm about it
  61. 5:39 PM <ArseneLupin> He laughs and pats her shoulder. "You're a good sport."
  62. 5:41 PM <Klurg> "thanks. oh, speaking of sports, have you ever done any? bit of a random question but I'm curious."
  63. 5:42 PM <ArseneLupin> "No... always wanted to but was never really an option."
  64. 5:43 PM <Klurg> "how come?"
  65. 5:45 PM <ArseneLupin> He blinks a few times as he tries his best to come up with something. "Uhhhh... they never chose the short kid?" He is not very convincing
  66. 5:48 PM <Klurg> Aveah raises an eyebrow in suspicion. "lemme guess. never went to school?"
  67. 5:49 PM <ArseneLupin> He turns bright red. "What?! How did yo- I mean no! That's crazy!"
  68. 5:51 PM <Klurg> "job choice, unconvincing lie... wait why are you embarrassed by it? there are lots who haven't done it." Aveah questions. "besides, I won't think less of you for it."

  70. 5:55 PM <ArseneLupin> He sighs, still red. "Everyone is expected to have at least some education, and here I am barely able to do basic math." He twiddles his thumbs a bit. "You really don't think less of me?"
  71. 5:57 PM <Klurg> Aveah moves to hug Bastian. "no, I don't. you're too nice a guy to do that. besides, if I don't think less of you for being a hitman do you really think not going to school will change that?"
  72. 5:59 PM <ArseneLupin> He gingerly accepts the hug. "...maybe?"
  73. 6:01 PM <Klurg> Aveah delivers a slap upside the head from her hug position. "then you're a dingus." She says in a gentle tone. "besides, you don't need education to be smart." (After all, intelligence and education are different stats. /s)
  74. 6:08 PM <ArseneLupin> "Hey!" He chuckles a little and hugs tighter. "Thank you, you're a good friend."
  75. 6:17 PM <Klurg> Aveah freezes up for a moment. "That's... something heard infrequently."
  76. 6:18 PM <ArseneLupin> He looks up at her and grins. "Well you better get used to it, you're gonna be hearing it a lot more."
  77. 6:24 PM <Klurg> "I hope so. It... feels good. Don't know why but it does."
  78. 6:29 PM <ArseneLupin> He squeezes her. "Calling you that feels good too. Oh by the way, since i'm being full disclosure right now, you're the first friend I've had in my entire life."
  79. 6:32 PM <Klurg> "You sure? Because I thought i was the only one."
  80. 6:33 PM <ArseneLupin> "You too?"
  81. 6:35 PM <Klurg> "Yeah. Thought it was obvious. Plus I think I told you this before."
  82. 6:36 PM <ArseneLupin> "You said you hadn't had many friends." He thinks for a moment. "I guess that means we're eachother's firsts."
  83. 6:39 PM <Klurg> "Thing is I wasn't too sure about those people. You, I'm positive we're friends. So it looks like we are."
  84. 6:43 PM <ArseneLupin> He pulls away from the hug and beams. "We absolutely are!"

  86. 6:50 PM <Klurg> "So what do friends even do besides hang around with each other?"
  87. 6:52 PM <ArseneLupin> He thinks for a moment. "Well, they get drunk together, talk to eachother about their problems, comfort eachother when things are bad, bail eachother out of jail, usual stuff."
  88. 6:53 PM <Klurg> "Ok everything except the last makes sense. Though I wouldn't hesitate to do the last."
  89. 6:54 PM <ArseneLupin> He smirks. "Alright, maaaaaybe I snuck that last one in myself."

  118. 7:44 PM <ArseneLupin> (That's my favorite day!)
  119. 7:46 PM <ArseneLupin> He nods. "Sounds perfect! We'll fill the void with alcohol."
  120. 7:53 PM <Klurg> "Hah. Wish that were possible." She mutters to herself. "Well, that's a date." Now more audible, and she realizes something. "...and by date I mean in a platonic way." Aveah backpedals.
  121. 7:54 PM <ArseneLupin> He laughs and flutters his eyelashes. "What, you don't think I'm pretty?"
  122. 7:57 PM <Klurg> Aveah snickers at that. "I'll admit, you are a handsome demon- i mean devil."
  123. 8:00 PM <ArseneLupin> He turns just a tad red as he chuckles. "And you are a beautiful woman, can't lie."
  124. 8:01 PM <Klurg> Aveah's pale white skin turns an undeniable shade of red as he says this. "T-thanks." She tries to stay focused but now she's struggling to maintain eye contact. "So, where are we drinking and can we invite Wren?" Smooth change Aveah. /s
  125. 8:03 PM <ArseneLupin> He gets a devilish grin as he moves to stare right into her eyes. "There's a place in town. We could invite her if you want, but wouldn't you want to spend some quality time with me~?"
  126. 8:07 PM <Klurg> ~oh no~ Aveah.exe is unresponsive. Mode: staring at wall with dead expression. She begins to reboot as her shoulders loosen. "Ta-hgbrn act!

  127. 8:08 PM <ArseneLupin> He goes back to his normal grin. "You alright?"
  128. 8:10 PM <Klurg> Aveah shakes her head, clearing out her thoughts. "Yeah I'm fine. Just... stuff."

  133. 8:24 PM <Klurg> "Sure, but I may ask for something stronger."
  134. 8:26 PM <ArseneLupin> He nods. "I might be able to grab something from the Commissary. Be right back." He heads out and comes back a few minutes later with a bottle of rum, coke, and vodka alongside two glasses
  135. 8:29 PM <Klurg> "Thanks." Aveah accepts the Vodka and pours it into a glass. She eagerly gulps it down and is left coughing. "Worth *cough* it."
  136. 8:33 PM <ArseneLupin> His eyes widen. "Hot damn..." He mixes up a rum and coke and downs it
  137. 8:41 PM <ArseneLupin> "Do you drink a lot?"
  138. 8:42 PM <Klurg> "Not much. On some occasions like celebrations, extremely unfamiliar situations, etc."
  139. 8:44 PM <ArseneLupin> "Could have fooled me. Does this qualify as a celebration?"
  140. 8:50 PM <Klurg> "Yes, of a sorts. And also unfamiliar situation."

  145. 8:55 PM <Klurg> Aveah's at a more manageable pace and weaker alcohol now, no longer freaking out. "It is. Makes me wonder on just how much I've been missing."

  151. 9:08 PM <ArseneLupin> He nods. "Dive bar was nice enough last time, may as well."
  152. 9:11 PM <Klurg> "so, what foods and drinks can I expect there?"
  153. 9:15 PM <ArseneLupin> "They got the usual bar food, wings, burgers, stuff like that. They got a bit of everything drink wise."
  154. 9:17 PM <Klurg> "alright sounds good to me. how'll we get there by the way?"
  155. 9:20 PM <ArseneLupin> "Car from the motor pool. If we get too drunk I could probably pay someone around site to pick us up or something, but I'm not a very heavy drinker so probably won't have to do that."
  156. 9:24 PM <Klurg> "ok, we have a ride and a plan, good to hear. maybe we could head to the arcade machines once we return to base?"

  158. 9:29 PM <Klurg> "alright, guess we have a plan. dive bar drinking and eating, the arcade games. and depending on how the day goes, maybe even *mock gasp* hand holding." while it does sound like she was joking when she said this, she shivered like she was cold, and for a less than perceptible hint, her heart skipped a beat, as she's not used to joking around like that.
  159. 9:30 PM <ArseneLupin> He gasps and puts a hand on his chest. "How scandalous!"
  160. 9:31 PM <Klurg> "screw scandals we're two smart people in a shadowy government thing."

  185. 10:05 PM <Klurg> "Yeah try not shooting them. We need them alive and non injured... same goes for hostages."
  186. 10:06 PM <ArseneLupin> "Please, this isn't my first rodeo. Of course you don't /actually/ shoot them. You don't want them to know that though."
  187. 10:10 PM <Klurg> "Yeah fair enough. Also watch out for cops, though you probably know that too."
  188. 10:11 PM <ArseneLupin> "Of course. The best course of action is to then take the cops hostage too."

  190. 10:15 PM <Klurg> "That's... actually not what I was expecting but could work." She admits.
  191. 10:17 PM <ArseneLupin> He grins proudly. "I am a master of the unexpected!"
  192. 10:17 PM <Klurg> "Well if you weren't you wouldn't be too good at your job Now would you?"
  193. 10:19 PM <ArseneLupin> "True, true." He flops onto his back and smiles. "Ah, this is fun."
  194. 10:21 PM <Klurg> Aveah flops beside him. "It is. Buzzed, with someone I trust who isn't a parent, and feeling less and less angry."
  195. 10:21 PM ⇐ Elisabot quit (Mech@nical.Beauty.And.Robot.Kisses) Quit: Good night.
  196. 10:24 PM <ArseneLupin> He nods and turns to face her. "I know what you mean." He grimaces a bit. "My dad is a sad drunk."
  197. 10:26 PM <Klurg> "My parents almost never drank when I was around. As for me, everything feels less oppressing and lighter when I'm drunk. It's the reason I don't drink much. Because if how easily I could get addicted."
  198. 10:28 PM <ArseneLupin> He stares at her for a moment before booping her on the nose. "Guess I gotta make sure everything is lighter when you're sober too then."
  199. 10:30 PM <Klurg> Aveah just realizes what she just said "...shit I let that slip didn't I? And I can't even tell if it's because I'm drunk or desperately need-" she clamps her hand over her own mouth to prevent anymore blabbing.
  200. 10:31 PM <ArseneLupin> He tilts his head a bit. "Desperately need?"
  201. 10:34 PM <Klurg> "A drink." Deadpan response before going for another vodka shot.
  202. 10:35 PM <ArseneLupin> He lets her take the shot before pulling her in for a hug
  203. 10:37 PM <Klurg> Aveah puts down the drink and hugs him back, though she feels really awkward doing so since they're both laying down. "Desperately need someone who'll listen... and comfort." She decides to admit.
  204. 10:40 PM <ArseneLupin> He pats her back. "If you ever need anyone to talk to I'm here."
  205. 10:44 PM <Klurg> "Thanks. I do appreciate it. To be honest I'm surprised I haven't kept you at a far emotional length like I tend to do. I'm still weirded out by how quickly I trusted you."
  206. 10:48 PM <ArseneLupin> He smiles softly. "I'm not sure why you did either, but I think it worked out for the best."
  207. 10:50 PM <Klurg> "Yeah, it did. Guess years of loneliness finally cultivated in a weakness to- dammit stop it drunk me!" Aveah gently pushes away the drinks. "Guess even while buzzed it's getting to me."
  208. 10:53 PM <ArseneLupin> "Yeah, the drinks are getting to me a bit too. I wouldn't ask you what you have a weakness to otherwise." He gets a shit eating grin
  209. 10:55 PM <Klurg> "Physically: none. Mentally: i should not and will not begin." She boops Bastian at that grin
  210. 10:56 PM <ArseneLupin> He laughs as he's booped. "Aww, no fun. I'll respect that though."
  211. 10:59 PM <Klurg> "Though you can probably guess from just being with me. Besides, if you ever use them against me, which I doubt, oh well. I'll just slide back into apathy and they become a non issue. Win/win-lose for me." She actually hugs him tighter from there. Not even a threatening type of tighter, more... one of someone who needs something to hug.
  212. 11:00 PM <ArseneLupin> He hugs here back just as tight. "I'd never use anything against you."
  213. 11:05 PM <Klurg> "Oh dear god I am horribly honest in this state. So this is also another consequence of never socializing. I'm a vulnerably honest drunk... or at least buzz."
  214. 11:06 PM <ArseneLupin> "Wonder what you're like full on drunk?"
  215. 11:07 PM <Klurg> "...not sure if want to know or don't." ~Though something else I wonder...~
  216. 11:08 PM <ArseneLupin> "Well, we are going out drinking so we're probably gonna find out."
  217. 11:09 PM <Klurg> "You know it's a very good thing there's nobody else around because seeing us hugging in the middle of the woods while laying down is probably going to cause some thoughts to be playing in people's heads."
  218. 11:10 PM <ArseneLupin> He blinks a few times and you can see the red leak into his face. "O-oh. I uh... see how this can be taken..."
  219. 11:16 PM <Klurg> Aveah snickers a bit but she's just as red. "Yeah..." she yawns a bit and lets her eyes drift close. "Getting a bit tired. You?"
  220. 11:17 PM <ArseneLupin> He nods. "Y-yeah. We should probably head to bed."
  221. 11:20 PM <Klurg> "Here or in our rooms?" Now it's her turn to get him back.
  222. 11:22 PM <ArseneLupin> He gets bright red. "I-uh-umm-rooms." He squeaks out
  223. 11:24 PM <Klurg> "Share or sEparatttTTte.?" now she's even redder as her attempts to push backfire on her.
  224. 11:25 PM <ArseneLupin> ~Definitely flirting~ He just sort of stares at her with a bright red face and a blank look
  225. 11:26 PM <Klurg> "Ok yeah separate I'll see you tomorrow bye!"
  226. 11:27 PM <ArseneLupin> He gives her a robotic wave. "bye."
  227. 11:27 PM <Klurg> She gets up and helps put the alcohol away and rushes off embarrassed. ~pushed too hard~
  228. 11:28 PM <ArseneLupin> It takes a good few minutes before he comes back to his senses and heads back to his room to hide
