  1. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 8:53 PM
  2. "Seriously, G-Man. What's your story? Where ya from? How'd you end up, well, a G-man?"
  3. Camios - Yesterday at 9:02 PM
  4. It's seriously because of Razu, I'm from dark city Washington. When I was in high school some friends and I were attacked by a heck bear. Those friends being John and his sister Felice. We all got out alive because Razu showed up to fight. We made it out alive, but barely. By the time the agency showed up John was already gone. Being an assassin or whatever. And Felice, she was already applying to four different colleges at once. They asked their questions and I asked to join. It's really not that interesting. Camios is just casually eating a pie while saying all this(edited)
  5. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 9:05 PM
  6. "Sounds pretty interesting to me. Seems we got a very different view of interesting." Orson stretches. "Why? What do you think is interesting?"
  7. Camios - Yesterday at 9:08 PM
  8. Well the training and traveling around the world as an agent was way more interesting to me.
  9. I grew up knowing heck bears were out there. It wasn't a surprise, but the other creatures out there? They can be way more interesting.
  10. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 9:11 PM
  11. "I hear that. So, international man of mystery, got to travel the world, see new places, meet interesting people, kill a few of them? You just happened to be back home when it went down?"
  12. Camios - Yesterday at 9:14 PM
  13. Seeing as dark city is basically ground zero. Yes. How much of that do you actually know?
  14. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 9:18 PM
  15. "Nnnnnot a tonne. Just what the gang said."
  16. Camios - Yesterday at 9:20 PM
  17. Well now I'm not sure what I'm aloud to tell you or not. Camios looks serious for the first time in this entire conversation
  18. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 9:24 PM
  19. "G-Man. The government is dead. everyone is dead. Your commander-in-chief is a rotting, shambling corpse. Anyone who would give half a lick off my furry balls is either dead or thousands of miles away without the benefit of advanced surveillance and most certainly not the power to issue any kind of meaningful reprisal."
  20. Camios - Yesterday at 9:28 PM
  21. snorts you think I'm afraid of the government I've been half running for the last six and a half years? Nah I'm more avoid the back lash Nala will cause if I share what happened with you guys.
  22. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 9:30 PM
  23. "Oh, is that all?" Orson snorts. "Buddy, I'm pretty sure Nala's harmless. Like, even if she gets back to deity status I'm reasonably sure I'd put her in a headlock and she'd sit there cussing me out."
  24. Camios - Yesterday at 9:34 PM
  25. Camios imagines that and laughs basically people died, Steph died for a bit but got better, Nala was a bitch, there was a shit ton of faires for some reason, god of death showed up, and more people died.
  26. And now every evil monster known to man is working for the god of death and trying to kill everyone.(edited)
  27. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 9:47 PM
  28. "Yeah, I got that e-mail. Trashed it."
  29. Camios - Yesterday at 9:52 PM
  30. Well I became president of the agency then too. Lost contact with the others and did my best to not die.
  31. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 9:54 PM
  32. "I think everyone did that last one."
  33. Camios - Yesterday at 9:54 PM
  34. Eh not everyone
  35. The US population is significantly smaller
  36. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 9:56 PM
  37. "I said they did their best."
  38. Camios - Yesterday at 9:59 PM
  39. Yeah guess they did. Camios closes the box, there's still two pieces in it. You know I never heard the "how you turned into a were bear" story.
  40. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 10:01 PM
  41. "S'cuz I never told it. Folks don't much seem interested usually."
  42. Camios - Yesterday at 10:02 PM
  43. You are honestly the first person to ask me how I became a secret agent. It's weird.
  44. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 10:03 PM
  45. "Huh. Weird."
  46. Camios - Yesterday at 10:05 PM
  47. You'd think that if you went back to your home town with a changed name and a government badge they'd have questions. But nope! They just rolled with it?
  48. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 10:06 PM
  49. "I mean... All things considered... I think folks from Dark City are just terminally uncurious."
  50. Camios - Yesterday at 10:08 PM
  51. . . . Yeah that's pretty accurate. When the diner has a special garlic free menu after midnight you know they don't give a shit no more.
  52. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 10:08 PM
  53. "Mmmhm. I hear that."
  54. "Well, I suppose the town philosophy hasn't affected you then... How much do you wanna know?"
  55. Camios - Yesterday at 10:11 PM
  56. You can't do my job and not ask questions. Just the basics. Like was is a ritual? A curse? Did you just get bit by a bear?
  57. You weren't always this so it's not genetic
  58. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 10:15 PM
  59. "No, it most definitely isn't genetic." Orson chuckles, and in the moonlight Camios can clearly see Orson's runic tattoos changing shape and form. "It's a bit of a long story, I guess. How much do you know about the First Nations?"
  60. Camios - Yesterday at 10:21 PM
  61. That they exist, and are more connected to the mystical than most people in modern day. They're one of the few groups the agency was told not to deal with. It was reported they had their own way of dealing with things.
  62. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 10:30 PM
  63. Orson scoffs. "More connected to the mysical. That's bullshit. We're just religious, like plenty of folks out there. We just worship different gods. Cultural preservation was a major focus of the Canadian government when it came to any dealings with First Nations, so it tends to paint us as mystical types and whatever. But I guess there's kind of a grain of truth. Unlike most modern religions, we know our gods walked amoung us, and many still do in their ways. For you white folks, God makes winter happen, or winter's a product of terrestrial positioning. For us, winter is a white man in a white cloak on a white horse, and he visits every year. Yeah, we're modern, educated folks. Fuck, college education is free for First Nations Canadians. So, we get the scientific facts. But it doesn't change the fact that winter is god. Summer is god. The coyotes and the ravens and the beavers and the bears are god. And not in the monotheistic 'all bearing the spark of the singular being' sense." A pause. "But I'm rambling about nothing in particular. I guess the point I'm trying to bring up here is I was raised straddling two very different worlds with very different definitions of truth and knowledge."
  64. Camios - Yesterday at 10:35 PM
  65. Camios nods the gods are real can't argue with that. Though I've been raised around the science. John's dad was a scientist He snorts he taught Razu Latin once.
  66. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 10:42 PM
  67. "Well, I'm sure you know all about that stupid 'vision quest' hooey that Hollywood spoonfeeds you white folks." Orson shrugs. "Well, it's kinda true. For more traditional families, it's pretty common for the parents to haul their kid out into the bush when he's thirteen or so and leave him out there, but it's not about finding some mystical vision and more about establishing a connection with the land and learning how to find your place in the rhythm of it." A small cough. "So, you know, a few days out in the hairy armpit of nowhere. Well, my folks decided I was hardcore enough to do it in the shittiest part of December. By which I mean I told them I was hardcore enough to do it in the shittiest part of December. Word of advice, don't do that." Orson chuckles. "Anyway, they send me out there with a survival knife, some traditional warm clothes, and a satphone in case it gets too hairy. I tell 'em I'll be back in a week, and they head for the nearest motel."
  68. Camios - Yesterday at 10:44 PM
  69. You went survival camping. In canada, in the winter
  70. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 10:44 PM
  71. "I'm Algonquin." Orson counters.
  72. Camios - Yesterday at 10:46 PM
  73. I still feel like that was a very bad idea. So wait, instead of dying you turned into a bear?
  74. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 10:46 PM
  75. "You make it sound crazy."
  76. Camios - Yesterday at 10:48 PM
  77. . . . Okay no that's not the weirdest thing I've heard
  78. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 10:54 PM
  79. "One of these days I need to introduce you to Celtic mythology. I got nothin' on the Tuatha da Dannan." Orson chuckles. "Aaaaanyways, it's marginally more complicated than that. I was doing fine until I had a bit of a close encounter with a wolf. I mean, this was yonks ago and I know how fish stories sound, but I swear to you this wolf's fur was spun silver, and its fangs and claws were brightly polished silver. It and I fought, and I killed it, but it gutted me. I was gonna bleed out in the snow. I dragged myself to a nearby cave--more like a dugout really--where, wouldn't ya know it, there was a huge great brown bear. The smell of blood woke it up, and it..." A long pause. "Well, it asked me if I wanted to live. Called me by name. So of course I says yes I wanna live. I was a hundred percent sure I was delirious with bloodloss by that point, so I figured I was just calling into the wind that, yeah, I wanted to live."
  80. Camios - Yesterday at 10:58 PM
  81. And the talking bear turned out to be real. Camios shakes his head why do all life changing interactions with the supernatural happen in caves?
  82. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 10:58 PM
  83. "I guess. I kinda passed out, but I think it was my totem. Anyways, my parents found me a few days later, naked, covered in blood and tattoos."
  84. Camios - Yesterday at 11:01 PM
  85. Wait so all that happened and you went on to be an English teacher?
  86. Bearish Flair™ - Yesterday at 11:05 PM
  87. "That's... Less interesting. I got tired of the doublethink that comes from living on the res, so I went to college in BC and then took up a teaching job in Washington state. Three guesses what city."
