[JAUNT] Check-in

[howexciting]

... let us get this over with so we can return to Liminal Space. This place is unpleasant.

Leonardo da Vinci, present. Known infiltrators: Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Known missing: Genevieve Blanchard and Zed. I... cannot sense them through our Bond. They were likely sent on a Walkabout.

For anyone who does not know about radiation and is near an area expected to get to 150 rads or more - get out of there immediately. Such radiation levels might cause adverse effects on your body, unless you have the proper protection. Find a safer place. I might be able to distribute suits from the Ivory Tower to combat the radiation, but I do not know how much they would stand out. Still, it might be worth the risk so that we are not harmed in the process.

[How about that, the Ivory Tower was useful after all.]

Please list any confirmed infiltrators and any confirmed missing persons so we are more aware of our current numbers.

[There's sort of a psychic grumble of irritation.]

...okay, look, if this works and all I accomplish is walking around making an ass of myself, at least I am keeping attention off of the rest of you. There is that.

But this is going to work, it's worked before.

[virioncomplex]

-=heh=-

For what? What are you being a distraction for? Your plan has no point.

And I still bet you're gonna get laughed at and blown out an air lock. Or shot, if you're lucky.

[chalicejoker]

But a point may show itself, it's not like we got dumped here with an instruction manual.

And I bet I won't get blown out an air lock.

...getting shot isn't something that bothers me in this form, so that's probably a moot point to worry about anyway.

[virioncomplex]

I bet you will. Trust me. They're the favored way to get rid of someone out in space. It takes zero effort and conserves ammunition. If you're lucky the'll blow you right out rather than let you suffocate to death in the hanger first.

And you ever get shot by a disruptor? No amount of armor you got is gonna save you from one of those.

[chalicejoker]

That's assuming they get me in there in the first place. I'm kind of a handful.

...you'd be surprised at some of what I've been hit with and survived. It would probably just piss me off.

[virioncomplex]

You do realize that you make yourself sound like a super villain out of some shitty kid's show, right?

[chalicejoker]

[Just...not going to say anything about being a playing card monster who's supposed to end the world. Not even going to touch that. Nope, nope, not touching it.]

Look, I'm just really confident in my abilities in a fight, that's all.

[virioncomplex]

Whatever. Prove me wrong. Just don't get mad when I come around saying I told you so.

[chalicejoker]

Oh, I won't. Because that's not going to happen.

[virioncomplex]

Want to bet on it?

[chalicejoker]

Sure, we can bet on it. I won't lose.

[virioncomplex]

If I win, you have to go on the network after the jaunt and tell everyone in great detail how badly you failed because you wouldn't take my advice.

If you win.... I don't know.

You can fuck me.

[chalicejoker]

Sure, fine, I can do that. Because I won't lose.

[And...wait, what, no, that is not a prize he wants, nope nope noooope. Any and all confident composure he's had goes right out the window, even if it may not come through quite so well in the psychic exchange.]

That...uh...there's a fire-worm over there, gotta go fight it.

[virioncomplex]

-=oh that's totally believable=-

Fucking hell, don't tell me your race is scared of sex for some dumbfuck arbitrary reason. I thought you were a big bad Bug Lord with all the confidence of a pack of viper dogs.

[chalicejoker]

I'm not scared of anything!

Just because I'm not scared doesn't mean I'm interested!

[virioncomplex]

That is not the reaction someone gives when they're not interested.

That's the reaction someone gives when they're scared.

[chalicejoker]

Doesn't change the fact that either way, I am not interested.

And I'd probably crush you, geez.

[virioncomplex]

So you admit you're scared, and that's why you're not interested.

And no you won't because at least one of us knows what they're doing.

[chalicejoker]

Being scared and not being interested are two completely different things!

[laceandcarnage]

Hajime.

Why are you allowing your enemy to determine your victory reward?

[chalicejoker]

...that is an excellent point.

[Look, the reward in question threw him so off balance he didn't think too hard on this, alright?]

[laceandcarnage]

Of course.

Obviously, on the occasion of your victory he should be required to battle me in glorious and bloody battle.

[there's a small pause, as Istas ponders this further]

Or supply us with a years supply of delicious cakes.

[virioncomplex]

Since when am I a fuckin enemy?

And I can't bake so unless you want your face blown off I still think fuckin is the best way to go.

[chalicejoker]

It's not that she sees you as an enemy, she just really likes fighting people.

No, no that is not the best way to go. I'm the best cook here, anyway.

[laceandcarnage]

He is your opponent. You wish to defeat him in the battle of disguises. Does this not make him your enemy?

And fucking is, of course, a reward of dubious merit. He has not demonstrated his skill and ability in the art of coitus. His prowess may be subpar.
