<Lex> Stop, Bobby. Bobby,
this is Pfalz. He does the actual writing, although it's really more chicken
scratch than anything else. But he can read it.
Bobby and the five Williams accompanied me here, but the Williams left last night.
* Casey gives Pfalz the classic "I told you so" look
<Pfalz> Oh, um, five Williams?
* Lex nods
<Pfalz> How do you tell
them apart?
<Lex> Oh, I don't. That's why I call them five Williams. So
I don't have to remember which is which. Bobby's real name isn't Bobby either,
at least I don't think so, but it was just easy to remember.
<Pfalz> Maybe it's William.

* Aeq takes out a small stone
from his pocket and throws it, it ignites as it flies through the nothingness. The room lights up and it's completely filled
with skulls all ofthem shineing from the inside.
<Aeq> welcome to my office... well half of it.
<Pfalz>
Um... it is very ... nice?
---
* Lex knocks on the door lightly
* Valero glances sharply at the door and slowly gets up from the sofa.
<Casey> Should we get someone who can
use one of these pointy objects?
<Valero> What's the worse that could-
<Valero> Good point.
* Casey
gives him an appropriate look
---
* Tranns quirks her lips slightly
<Tranns> I was robbed a few times
<Lucien> Anything important?
<Tranns> Yeah
<Lucien>
What?
<Tranns> Well, I did have my heart stolen
<Lucien> Who are you and what have you done with Tranns?
<Tranns> No, no, no
<Tranns> It was a heart pendant. Silver locket.
<Lucien> Oh. There we go.
---
<Lex> In case you hadn't
noticed, Bobby doesn't talk.
<Casey> Do you give him a chance?
---
* Tranns looks at Phil
<Tranns>
Boss?
<Philip> No. We don't want our names out for the public. It would...cause some confusion.
<Lex>
No names would be used once the book was finished. Just numbers.
<Lex> You know, like, 37618 or 24601.
<Valero>
I'd like to be a single digit number..
<Valero> I've always fancied myself 5 or 7
<Casey> I can't believe
this conversation is actually happening
<Lex> Sure
* Lex glances at Phil
<Lex> I see you as a 007
* Lex glances at Tranns
<ex> And you as a 34D.
* Tranns folds her arms across her chest
<Casey>
I think you're flattering her a bit
<Casey> I can't believe I just said that out loud
---
<Pipira> An
evil, evil man with BIG wings that come out of his back is trying to kidnap Cammie and teach her how to use nasty emotions
to kill people! And, and, and he wants to kill everyone in the Ahton family and turn the house into a big festerin'
pile of dark evil evil emotions!
<Pipira> ...And he smells like mustard.
<Warren> You Phoenix Fighters know
how to party
---
* Rinault glances at Jake
<Rinault> Just
so you know, I've been thinking of arranging a marriage between you and Cammie..for the future, of course.
* Jake
goes wide-eyed
<Jake> Wh-What?!
* Rinault sits on a couch, and relaxes
<Jake> I.. I wouldn't like
my marriage arranged..
<Rinault> Well..
<Rinault> Do you like Cammie?
<Jake> She's SIX
* Pipira skips back into the
room.
<Jake> Pip!
<Jake> Should I marry Cammie in the future? *confused voice*
<Pipira> I'm ba-WHAT?
<Pipira>
Jake that's disgustin'! She's SIX!
* Jake points at Rinault.
<Jake> He wants me to marry her!
*
Pipira looks at Rin.
* Pipira takes her shoe off and smacks Rin in the head with it.
<Rinault> OW!
<Pipira>
Selling your own sweet daughter off to someone MORE THAN DOUBLE HER AGE?!
<Rinault> I was trying to arrange a marriage,
I'm not going to shove her to him NOW
<Pipira> You don't -arrange- marriage you dolt! That's for creeps and
rich people!
<Rinault> You calling me a creep?!
* Pipira just sticks her tongue out at him.
* Rinault
grabs her tounge, and pulls on it
* Pipira knees him in the groin again.
---
<Wow> Well, what are your
thoughts usually about?
<Sic> I don't know. I don't write it down, or anything.
<Sic> (*coughs*KILLINGINNOCENTPEOPLE*coughs*)
<Wow>
(XD)
---
<Lex> Good Gods. I got
more of a reaction from Philip.
* Tranns raises an eyebrow
<Tranns> What kind of reaction? Violent? He's good
at those.
<Lex> No. He was quite helpful, actually.
<Tranns> Oh really?
<Tranns> What did he
tell you?
<Lex> All about his childhood. Being raised in Risa with Adriana. His close relationship with his stepfather.
His childhood friend Mordred. The years he spent during his young adult years doing charity work.
* Tranns bursts out
laughing
<Lex> What?
<Tranns> Nothing.
---
Adriana> The House is aliiiive
<Rinault> if that doesent prove me being out of it, nothing will
<Cole> You can't be out of the house!
=o You are the house
<Rinault> o.x cheesey, Cole,
<Cole> Cheesey Cole! I should market a snack and call
it that.
---
<Aden> Someone should probably
tell Adriana. How are you feeling? Are you dizzy? Does your head hurt? Do you need to eat? Drink? Brush your teeth?
*
Mia_Fanel breathes onto her hand, sniffs, then makes a face
<Mia_Fanel> Breath mints wouldn't hurt.
* Aden goes
to a set of drawers. He immediately starts pulling out every variation of a breath mint he can find. With his hands quite
full, he walks back to the bed, dumping an impressive pile on the sheets
* Mia_Fanel blinks in surprise
<Mia_Fanel>
Where do you get all of those?
* Aden does answer. Instead, he goes into the bathroom and gets ahold of all the toothpaste
and brings it back
* Mia_Fanel blinks in surprise again
<Mia_Fanel> ...Is my breath that bad?
---
* Ariadne opens the door and
holds it open for Malik
* Casey glances up from her notes
<Casey> Ariadne, you're back
* Malik_Dragmire
steps through after her, looking a bit flustered as he had been about to open it for -her-. "Thank you, miss." He murmurs,
quietly. Somehow, he's managed to avoid his clothes being destroyed by travel.
<Casey> And you brought something.
---
<Adriana> I just thought
I should say goodbye so you don't get your panties in a twist.
* Adriana picks up her files and walks over to the door
* Warren chuckles
<Warren> I died going comando
<Adriana> Oh gross
* Adriana walks out
---
<Adriana> Oh, Airy. You're
back. Thank the gods. If Phil normally has a stick up his butt, he has an entire tree up there now.
---
<Adriana> Milady behind
the evil plot? Surprise, surprise. So he's evil?
<Ariadne> Um...no
* Adriana glances at Casey for confirmation
<Casey> He's Hylian. I'm detecting traces of Gerudo lineage. Not a shapeshifter. And very fancy.
<Casey>
If you're not shivering, he's clean.
* Malik_Dragmire blinks, still glancing around a bit warily. Then, a bit belatedly,
he turns to Adriana. "I am NOT evil!" He sounds indignant, and fairly haughty. Then he turns to Casey. "Thank you, miss."
<Casey> You're welcome
---
* Aeq walks out from the pool
with snowflakes in his hair and clothes.
<Ariadne> Casey is the head of our scientific department.
<Casey>
And you may call me a mad scientist, just like everyone else does behind my back.
<Aeq> And here I was thinking
she was head of the explosives department.
---
* Adriana looks a bit offended.
<Adriana> First of all, it's Miss, not Ma'am. I'm fairly certain I'm younger than you. I believe I see a few wrinkles
around your eyes.
<Adriana> Second, I'm NOT mean. I'm just...organized.
---
<Adriana> Right. Anyways,
can I get your name?
<Malik_Dragmire> "M-Malik... Dragmire."
* Adriana very slowly turns to look at Airy. It's
a "You've GOT to be kidding me" look.
* Ariadne shakes her head
* Adriana closes her eyes, takes a deep, composing
breath, and writes his name down.
