So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

sure
i saw someone get a live goose out of it once
and i put a full extended arm in there once and set it on fire
not only did it manage to fit, it wasn't even damaged by the fire

[Hm. Well that certainly makes sense...]

Mine's About six feet long I'd say

so you'll have to take a few steps back to get it all the way out of the mailbox
just don't walk into traffic while you're getting it out and you should be fine
what did you even get that's so big anyway

Great Maybe I'll have to go at night when traffic's not as bad It's a...double sided sword

a six foot double sided sword?
sounds like someone's compensating for something

NOT IN THIS OR ANY LIFETIME I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW

[WOW Don't pick on him James!!]But I guess dual guns just wasn't enough

oh my god i forgot about those
you really ARE compensating for something
why else would you need all that

Some stabby stabby to go along with the pew pew, I imagine But if you wanna compare dicks...

[CROW N O]

please
continue

[ what kind of stupid, horrible grave is crow gonna dig for himself here ]

[The sad thing is he is completely confident and would do it.]

Where and when

[ oh my god is this really happening ]

how's about the little park a block away from the hospital
tomorrow 2pm

2pm in a public park There are kids, man I have SOME standards

[ oh my god.....is Crow being literal here? James figured this was going to be a metaphorical dick measuring contest and that it would be safe for a public park. Maybe Crow is still joking here but NOW HE'S NOT SO SURE....

He'd back out right here if he had any sense, but things like "sense" and "quitting while you're ahead" are not encoded into his DNA. BRING IT THE FUCK ON ]

alright then why don't you name a time and place
i don't exactly have a spot private enough for this myself

[James you have no idea how shameless this man can be.]

Well

There's always my apartment that's way too personal.

You go to the gym? [Late night locker rooms are always deserted.]

no but i can make an exception
when/where

[ oh god what is he getting himself into ]

The one I go to's just a street or two down from the pier, right across from the Starbucks

[I'm so sorry James...]

okay yeah i know that one
what time do you want to do this

I usually don't hit the gym til after my night classes so if you're gonna be up it'd be then About 11pm?

you're on

[ And sure enough, at 11pm that night, James is there. He doesn't have membership at this gym, but it's easy enough to sneak in. He's sitting on a bench in a hallway not too far from the entrance, but not in sight of it either. He's got with him a duffel bag, just to make it look like he's actually here to work out. ]

[It takes a few moments for Crow to show up. The walk from RU's off campus training takes a bit to come from, but he's there within ten minutes, promise!

Look at those red eyes light up when he sees James there.]</small. Yo, fellow D-club member!

[ Sure, alright, fuck subtlety, I guess. Just shout it out to the whole gym, that's fine. ]

So. You finally ready to do this or what?

[Relax James its ass-oclock at night most people have jobs.]

Yep. Got my towel and everything so I can take a shower after, too.

[Honestly, this little shenanigan was gonna lead to him washing off anyway. Rescue training can work up a sweat.]

Off to the locker rooms we go~

[ James enters the locker room and keeps the door open behind him for Crow. ]

You really have to yell it out to the whole world?

[Crow smiles gratefully as he takes that door, following him.

Though the question gets him to blink owlishly.]

Yell what out? D-Club?

[CROW]

C'mon, no one's even here! Not a lot, anyway.
