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.]

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

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

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

[ 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.

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

Are they threatening you?? Holding anything hostage?

[ HOW CRUEL. ]

[ 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.

... But why? You may... have difficulty getting along with others [ from what she's seen ] but that is hardly an excuse for someone to want you dead, especially someone you've worked for!

[ ???????

This coming from the girl who has half a council trying to off her. ]

[ oh... ow. that sort of stings and he winces but he follows it up by flapping his hands a few ties. ]

No, no, no. That's just -- that's how things are. To get forward, to get higher up in the chain you have to do a few dirty things first. It's just how it is. Not really personal until it, uh, gets kind of personal. Sometimes it's plenty personal! But mostly, nah.

You advance your rank by harming others...?

[ She's so confused. ] Is there no better place to offer your services to?

Yeah, basically! But not in a weird way.

[ rhys, no. but at her question, he just lets out a really loud laugh. ]

... You're serious? No way! Hyperion is the biggest, the best, and the baddest. I'm going to run that place one day and I'll do anything to get there. Just like Handsome Jack.

Handsome Jack... is he the current head?

[ LOOK, SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THIS. ]

[ rhys just waves a hand dismissively. no, no, no! you're not getting this, alisha! ]

Nah, he's dead. But he was really cool when he was alive! And he was in charge too!
