Who: Miata and the moles
What: Everyone's having a very bad.....Time
When: Week 1, Tuesday night

[ As Miata mentioned to Rhys, the basement continues to be open to the mole group after midnight. Anyone coming down there on Tuesday night will find Miata sitting on the couch and reading a book, having switched out of her regular clothes for jeans, a hoodie, and a t-shirt with...a photorealistic piece of pizza on it. Evidently her daywear is not of her own choosing.

She lifts a hand up in greeting to anyone coming in, marking her page and setting the book down.]

Hmmmm.

[ She takes what, in reality, is only about 30 seconds to answer properly. But given the current motive, it comes off as nearly an hour. TWO CAN PLAY THE DOUCHE GAME. ]

I doubt she'll seek you out individually, if that's what you mean.

[jackhole]

[ oh my god why are you the worst. by the end of the "hour" rhys has his hands clutching his face and is dragging down the skin under his eyes. holy shit, could you answer any quicker?! ]

I want to know if any of these girls are going to kill me and if they'll at least tell us all, here, in this room, before they do. A perfectly valid question!

[muties]

[ oh my god rhys SHE IS NOT A SERIAL KILLER SHE WAS JOKING ]

[jackhole]

[ YOU'RE PROBABLY A SERIAL KILLER AND DON'T EVEN KNOW IT YET ]

[muties]

[ THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE ]

[jackhole]

[ NEITHER DO YOU ]

[muties]

[ THAT'S

actually pretty accurate yeah ]

[dereban]

Yes, because I would totally yell out "I'm going to fucking kill you" before I go ahead and do it. That sounds like something only a bad villain would do.

[ SERIOUSLY RHYS..... ]

[jackhole]

Hah! Shows what you know, most people who try and kill me shout that first.

[ this is not a thing to be proud of, rhys, and yet here he is. ]

[dereban]

... I feel almost sorry for you. [ Almost. ]

[jackhole]

Don't need your pity.

[ yeah, now he's just going to sit here and sulk. sorry, inaba. this is definitely a worthless conversation. ]

[princessantly]

I would never--!!

[ SHE IS SO AFFRONTED. ]

[jackhole]

[ OH NO wait wait hold up!! wait!! ]

Hey! Wait, no -- not you, princess! I mean, just. In general. The rest of them.

[princessantly]

Sir Rhys... [ YOUNG MAN WHO IS ACTUALLY NOT YOUNGER-- ] Please remember that we are aiming to work together.

[jackhole]

[ what is this... feeling... like he's actually been chastised or something, what the hell. ]

I know! I know. I mean, I work with people who try and kill me all the time but sure! If you want to act like somehow working together cancels that out, go ahead!

[ also ]

-- Haha, you called me sir.

[princessantly]

... You work with-- but why-- [ Wait. ]

Are they threatening you?? Holding anything hostage?

[ HOW CRUEL. ]

[jackhole]

[ he just looks sort of baffled and then. uh. has to clarify. ]

Are you asking me about right now before I came here or like, in general? I work for Hyperion but I'm not at Hyperion at the moment and it's... all kind of up in the air.

[ oh. ]

Ha ha, I mean, my sort of technically maybe boss diiiid kind of try and make me dig my own grave the other day! Me and my bro just knocked him out and ran. Stuff like that happens a lot.

[herbgrace]

I don't make a habit of killing my allies. [Rude TBH!]

[jackhole]

Well, neither do I but I sure as hell don't trust any of them.

[ no, seriously. he met his current partner because she tried to rob him blind. ]

[herbgrace]

I can sympathize with being in that sort of situation, but I believe in this case a certain level of diplomacy is in order. [Don't blatantly and loudly wonder about your allies murdering you in front of all of them, in other words.]

[jackhole]

Diplomacy? Pfft. More I say it, more obvious it is who did it when I die.

[ he's so sure it's going to happen, it's pathetic. ]

[herbgrace]

You shouldn't sound so fatalistic about it. [At least say if you die!]

[vicedirector]

Not moreso than anyone else, jeez. Unless it's a 'I'm-so-paranoid-I'm-wearing-a-tinfoil-hat' motive, then no, you guys probably won't be murdering each other.

[jackhole]

[ WELL....... that does enough to deflate rhys, really. he just nods awkwardly and, yeah. ]

Okay. Cool. I just... wanted to know for sure.

[vicedirector]

[ claps a hand on his shoulder ]

It's a man-eat-man world out here, dude.

[ EXTREMELY REASSURING ]
