[Jaunt, week 3]

[cloudpotter]

[good afternoon travelers, there is a disgruntled ninja with an absolute killer migraine on your network. if you didn't know it was possible for a psychic voice to grouse, you do now.]

I'm not up to speed on his relevance yet, [he's never said hello before, he's not going to start now] but I'd urge anyone on the tail of Kinji's infiltration to use caution. He's capable of a psychic blast strong enough to incapacitate multiple people. We would have more information, but Katsuragi drove him away.

Comments

[carbonatedscientist]

I didn't drive him away, you were the one who suddenly brought him there for no damn reason after I was kind enough to deinfiltrate you!

Because everyone else knew his overlay is dangerous!

[Why, yes, Sento's mad.]

[helborn]

He probably panicked and magicked him there.

Somehow.

I don't know, ninja shit.

[cloudpotter]

We have a contingency in place. It's supposed to keep us from getting into trouble.

[they just. didn't account for it working while one of them was infiltrated.]

[helborn]

Let's. Maybe try and put some other parameters on that contingency next time, if you can.

[carbonatedscientist]

Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous...

[helborn]

They wear spandex and fight monsters, of course they're ridiculous.

[carbonatedscientist]

That is absolutely the least ridiculous part of any of this.

[Says the man who transforms into rubbersuit armor to fight monsters.]

[helborn]

I fight monsters and I'm ridiculous, doing it in spandex is more ridiculous. What the hell kind of protection is that in any realistic world?

[cloudpotter]

[that's. that's not------yakumo doesn't have a defense for this, but he has to say something]

--It isn't spandex.

[cloudpotter]

[that is still your fault Sento, you're the one who put the fear of death in Corentin]

You were taking off your clothes! [everything else could have been explained, yes, you cannot prove otherwise. Katsuragi suddenly deciding to strip off was absolutely the straw that broke Kinji's back, back there.]

[carbonatedscientist]

I thought I was going to die because Dusty's come dangerously close to murdering me instead of Katsuragi once before, and I can't help it if my reflexes tried to activate my Driver, which is a belt!

[thornsofmalkav]

So that's why Charlize just got an email telling he to come collect her winnings from the office pool.

[SHE'D BEEN WONDERING.]

[crouching_sin]

Why wasn't I told about this betting pool?

[thornsofmalkav]

... Adam didn't know?

Uh, shit. Well, it's too late to get in on the Why Does Corentin Let Takumi Get Away With Murder pool, but there might be a few others still open. Speaking of which...

... hey Sento, any chance of making a public declaration as Takumi that you and Taro Satou were banging?

[crouching_sin]

I'm a pilot, they don't tell us shit that's not related to fighting.

[thornsofmalkav]

Damn, I'm sorry. Well, find an excuse and I'll bring you two in.

[carbonatedscientist]

[Why. Why, this?]

How could I admit to Katsuragi's one fling without it coming off as odd or out of nowhere?

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh my god, I knew I would clean up on that one.

Uh. That is. Charlize knew she would. Back when she made it.

[carbonatedscientist]

...you're kidding.

[thornsofmalkav]

Man, everyone who bet you were blackmailing him must feel really dumb now.

[carbonatedscientist]

Honestly, it was more of a mutual disregard of ethics that let them work well together moreso than anything else.

[thornsofmalkav]

... there was a bet on that too. Well, technically it was 'They're Both Just Assholes' but you know, same difference. I bet on that one too, but my main chance definitely was 'They're Fucking.'

[ninjayeehaw]

Did Dusty happen t'be on any a' those lists.

[guess who's back, back again. He's not mad he's just annoyed, if she did that entire thing for a few dollars--]

[thornsofmalkav]

... since when have you been de-Infiltrated?

[ninjayeehaw]

Since about ten minutes after Yakki done made this little announcement.
