[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] The fact that asking after someone's #health always feels like you're walking #on a floor full of glass shards.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] There's always this chance that the #other person is not okay, or even dead...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And what started as a legitimately #fun moment can go sour.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettyface,][XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] Yeah, you're right.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] Sorry for not trusting you, you #piece o' scrap.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] Don't worry.

[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] Sure, they have the cognitive #abilities of 7-year olds, but they can #talk, drink booze, and argue.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] So now you wanna bang a 7-year old?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] We have a regular here who would be #delighted to hear that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] Stop it![STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] Remember. Lilim-human marriages #were only sanctioned after the Lilim #achieved full sentience.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] And even then, they used marriage #as a way to evolve the Collective Source.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] Besides, dogs don't really "love" #us that way. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] Trying to apply human ideas like #marriage to a dog is like... [STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] ...like trying to feed vegetables to #a carnivore, you get me?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] Says the ex-vegetarian.

I was thinking about #all these dogs in tuxedos and...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] ...and I started picturing a dog in #a bridal dress...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] I mean, Just try and picture that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] ...and I'M the drunk one.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] Wait...

As in, a limit #to how much you can drink before passing #out?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] No, I just get disoriented to the #point I'm effectively useless, but I never #pass out.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] Maybe, if I passed out, I wouldn't #have to deal with all the shit that #follows.

[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It said that by giving Lilim the #same kind of weaknesses humans have, they #would develop the same way humans do.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] So that's why they also bite their #lips randomly when eating?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Seems like it.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] But it makes me wonder: exactly how #anatomically correct are you?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] That's something I know and you #don't.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] Hmph...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Any of you want anything else to #drink?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] Yeah!

Вся компания может в итоге #накрыться.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] И это будет ужасно, так как несколько #семей живут на зарплату своих питомцев.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Джилл:[C:C] Разве это этично и вообще... Разве это #не подпадает под жестокое обращение с #животными?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettyface,][XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Про такой расклад в действующем законе #ничего не сказано. Да и потом, псы ведь сами #хотят этим заниматься.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] И даже если бы сами псы не стремились #всем этим заниматься, там их всё равно никто #не унижает и не эксплуатирует. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Да и вообще, то, чем они занимаются в #компании, сложно назвать работой.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Кстати о работе, как там Юрген?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Нормально.

[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Джилл:[C:C] Ну, то, что лилимы не могут расстаться #со своими опекунами из-за того, что те стали #для них семьёй.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Сейчас люди много с чем не могут #расстаться. Некоторые привязываются даже к #неодушевлённым объектам... иногда чересчур.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Мой дед, например, любил свою тачку #больше, чем собственных сыновей.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Ты про того дедушку, что завещал все #свои пожитки своей машине?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Да, именно про него.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Джилл:[C:C] А как стать опекуном лилима?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Нужно обратиться в Совет Искусственного #Интеллекта, заполнить у них нужные формы. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Потом они проверяют, кто ты и что ты. И #если они сочтут тебя пригодной для данной #роли, то разрешат тебе опекунствовать.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] И потом они высылают тебе уведомление за#неделю до того, как выдать тебе всю информацию#о лилиме, за которым тебя закрепят.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] И ты должна будешь заботиться о нём, #пока он не сдаст три теста на зрелость.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Если после этого лилим захочет остаться #с тобой, то это уже полностью твоя забота.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Джилл:[C:C] То есть, эдакая лотерея, где может #выпасть усыновление лилима, я правильно #понимаю?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Типа того. А вообще, смысл участия #разных опекунов – в разнообразии возможных #путей развития лилимов. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Два лилима одной модели могут вести себя #по-разному из-за того, что росли с разными #опекунами.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] А если что-то случится с опекуном?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Совет объявляет место опекуна свободным, #собирает какое-то время заявки и потом #выбирает нового.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Так происходит, если опекун по какой-то #причине потеряет возможность исполнять свои #обязанности по отношению к лилиму...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] ...или если просто начнёт халатно #относиться к опекунству.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Ты так выдаёшь всю эту инфу, будто она #у тебя зашита в программе.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Я работал в этой отрасли перед тем, как #пойти работать в «ФИС».

[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Я просто сказал, что если людям можно #вступать в брак с лилимами, то почему всё ещё #нельзя вступать в союз со зверьми?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] В первую очередь потому, что они не #гуманоиды.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] А что тогда с обезьянами?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Не дают с собакой, так хочешь хотя бы #к макаке пристроить своего железного дружка?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] ДА НЕ ХОЧУ Я НИЧЕГО СОВАТЬ В МАКАК![STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Так вот, собаки, как и другие звери, #не могут дать тебе согласие.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Но ты только посмотри на них! [STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Да, интеллект у них на уровне #первоклашек, но они всё же могут говорить, и #бухать, и обсуждать различные темы.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] То есть ты хотел бы отпердолить #первоклашку?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Джилл:[C:C] У нас есть постоянная клиентка, #которой эта мысль пришлась бы по душе.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Прекратите![STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Не забывай, что браки между людьми и #лилимами были разрешены только после того, #как лилимы достигли полной сознательности.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] И даже после этого браки с ними по #большей части нужны для добавления новых #знаний в коллективное хранилище.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Кстати, в плане настоящей любви собаки #нас не очень-то «любят». [STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Пытаться применить к псам человеческие #идеи вроде брака – это как... [STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] ...пытаться скормить редис #насекомоядному растению, понимаешь, да?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Сказала бывшая вегетарианка.

Если захочешь #оттарабанить пса или мартышку, то вперёд.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Просто не думай при этом о свадьбе, #чувствах, и прочих соплей тоже не разводи, #ладно?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Но если удумаешь окунуться в плотские #утехи с первоклассницей, то постарайся #сначала добраться до психиатра.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Но я не собираюсь трахать собак! И #мартышек тоже! И тем более первоклашек![STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Ну вот и славненько![STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Но тогда почему ты вдруг заговорил о #браке между человеком и собакой?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Ну, просто... Я думал обо всех этих #пёсиках в смокингах, и...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] ...начал представлять себе собаку в #свадебном платье...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Ну, то есть просто попробовал #представить.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] ...И ты ещё говоришь, что это Я #напилась.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Тем более, что я-то как раз вовсе не #напилась.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] С другой стороны, когда ты #напиваешься, у тебя ведь только голова #кружиться начинает.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] У тебя вообще предел есть #какой-нибудь? Типа, вырубаешься ли ты #полностью после какой-то дозы спиртного?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Нет, не вырубаюсь. Просто полностью #теряю ориентацию в пространстве и перестаю #что-либо соображать.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Впрочем, если бы я вырубался, мне бы, #наверное, не пришлось иметь дело со всем, что #из этого вытекает. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Приходится просто сидеть и ждать целые #сутки, пока спадёт эффект.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Странно, что никто до сих пор не #задумался, зачем лилимов наделили #человеческими недостатками.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Джилл:[C:C] Я читала где-то на эту тему. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Джилл:[C:C] Там говорилось, что если лилимы будут #иметь те же слабости, что и люди, то они и #развиваться будут схожим образом.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Так это поэтому они иногда кусают свои #губы во время еды?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Джилл:[C:C] Похоже на то.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Тогда у меня возникает вопрос: с какой #именно точностью твоя анатомия повторяет #человеческую?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Это один из вопросов, ответ на который #мне дано знать, а тебе – нет.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Пфф...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Джилл:[C:C] Кому-нибудь из вас что-нибудь налить?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Да! Я хочу...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Ничего, ты и так уже выпила достаточно.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] Ты мне не мамка, чтобы говорить, что я #могу делать, а что нет![STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Беатрис Альберт, сейчас же прекрати #пить![STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Бетти:[C:C] ...да, мам.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Дил:[C:C] Иди в машину, поспи.

The #streets were too messy.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Thank god my boss escorted to my #place on Sunday.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] We arrived at work on Monday only to #find all the dogs hiding behind the desks.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] Some were trying to open a hole in #the floor, so the carpet's ruined.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Oh yeah... I guess they're dogs #after all.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Wait, they spent the whole time #there?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] They have food, water and a #bathroom. Not to mention advanced security #measures.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] Their owners probably thought it'd #be safer for them to stay there.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] If you ask me, the whole thing had #to happen.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] Given all the gunshots and madness #going on, the White Knights had to show #their true faces sooner or later.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] Yeah, but think of all the people #that died because of that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] Not only here, but in the Apollo #Trust Bank too.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettyface,grumpy][XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] Of course I'm angry all of that #happened. A friend's boyfriend died in one #of those riots.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettyface,sigh][XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] But in the end, they showed people #outside of the city that there's a lot of #corruption and chaos taking place here.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettyface,][XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] Having neighboring cities intervene #in the riots is evidence enough that they #realized the magnitude of the problem.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You'd think with the world pretty #much connected, everyone would realize #stuff like that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] Many know about it. They just say #"Man, that's horrible" and move on.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] Then again, net activism can only #get you so far with this kind of stuff.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] It's not like a bunch of people #expressing their concerns online will do #that much of a difference.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] But if they at least get to know #how bad things are around here, instead of #just knowing they're 'bad'... [STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] Aren't you seeing that with a harsh #sort of "to each their own" mentality?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] How so?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] Many people leave the city, but not #of their own volition.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] They do it because they have a #better opportunity outside. But they still #have families here.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] Many have visited the city in better #times, and it hurts them to see it like #this.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] Problem is that written words usually #fail to convey the emotion needed...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dealtalk,1][C:25]Deal:[C:C] But I bet many of them would do what #they can.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:bettytalk,1][C:24]Betty:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...from a more cynical standpoint...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Having revealed the White Knights as #the "bad guys" with the help of #irrefutable evidence..[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Anyone who gets involved against #them gets a free PR boost.

[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] That whole thing about someone #taking care of a Lilim after they're #deployed until they reach maturity, right?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Yup. And I'm proud to say that I #reached psychological maturity in just one #year![STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] They always try and keep a varied #pool of volunteers to make the Collective #Source grow faster.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] So, what's wrong with your guardian?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:doroface,think][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Well, she still treats me like a #kid.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] The worst part is that sometimes #I fear she might see me as some sort of #replacement for her dead daughter.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Huh? Dead daughter?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:doroface,sad][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I was deployed to her not long #after she lost her daughter. A contrived #coincidence, really.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:doroface,think][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Even when I was still developing #Self-Awareness, I always feared she might #be using me as a replacement.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] She didn't though, or at least #not consciously. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] At times she would just stop #doing something, or return a gift she's #given me...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] If she felt like she was projecting #too much of her daughter onto me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] What irony that years later, I'd #make a living pretending to be someone #else in the bedroom.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] How's that?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Well, most of the time, my job #involves role-playing. A daughter, a #student, some helpless kid...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:doroface,think][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] It means I've gotten many clients #looking exactly for that, but on the other #hand...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] From a professional standpoint, #I'd rather have them hire me because of #me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Because of my character, not #because I'm "The one that roleplays as #little girls".[STOPLIP:] +[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Maybe I need to exaggerate some #attribute...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What's the problem with your #guardian then? If you do that on a daily #basis, why worry about it?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:doroface,sad][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Because I don't wanna make her #sad.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Every time I visit her, I fear #she might look at me and see her daughter. #That seeing me makes her sad.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] At this point, I don't even care #if she's projecting her daughter onto me, #I just don't wanna make her feel sad.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Did you try talking with her?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:doroface,think][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] How so?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Telling her just what you said to #me. Clear up those fears.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I mean, unless she's not the kind to #want anyone opening up to her, that is.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I... never really thought about #talking to her about that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] It doesn't sound like something #you just bring up though.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Keep it in mind, at least. Maybe #she'll appreciate the gesture.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I wouldn't know though. I haven't #met her.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] She's a really nice woman.

I wanna know what kind #of woman she is.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Sure![STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Well, her name is Sophia Graem.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (G-Graem?!)[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] She's a retired P.E. teacher. #Nowadays she works at a gym during the #morning shift.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] She's pretty fit, if I do say so #myself.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] She had a daughter. Apparently #she suffered from Nanomachine Rejection #all of her life...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] ...and when she finally healed, #she was hit by a truck.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Um... what was her daughter's name?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I don't know, I never asked #really.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Are you okay? I'm reading fear... #or is that surprise? It's hard to tell.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I'm fine yea-... wait, "read"?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Well, I don't "see" emotions like #you do. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I have to make do with a #combination of body heat readings, #face recognition and context.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I'm still a bit confused about #some, but I've gotten better with time.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Anyway, you sure you're fine?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Yeah, yeah.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Scared or surprised... she's not #wrong though.)[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Wait, does that mean your last name #isn't really Haze?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Haze is just my artistic name. #Sounds more exotic and that's what people #usually look for in this business.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I tried other names though.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Dolores Haze, Genesis Graem...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I tried Dorothy Warrior once, but #a legal team came out of nowhere and #stopped me cold.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] So, what's your legal name, then?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Rebecca Dorothy Willow Graem. A #bit of a mouthful, if you ask me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] So Dorothy's actually your second #name?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Should I call you something like #Becky then?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] People have always called me #Dorothy rather than Rebecca for some #reason. That's why I chose it.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] It's useful too. People have #tried to falsify stuff using my name and #they always get caught.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Because they use "Dorothy Haze" as #their name?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Yup.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Only my mom... err... guardian #calls me Rebecca, so it's weird to hear it #from others.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What about Willow?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Willow's my first surname, #actually. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] When I got registered, my #guardian was married to a guy who had #"Willow" as a last name.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Shortly after I joined their #household, they separated, so I was left #with his family name first.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Hold on, so your real name in short #would be "Rebecca Willow"?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Doesn't have the same pizzaz to #it if you ask me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Whatever you say, Becky.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Stop it![STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] It'd be like if I called you #Julianne all of a sudden.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] NGH![STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] *ahem*[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Whoa, that was anger I read just #now. Lots of anger.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I think it's weird enough already if #you call me Jill instead of "honey".[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Weird, huh? How you can end up #feeling associated with a name that's not #yours?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I have an uncle that always called #me Tina. He kept calling my cousin Tina #"Jill," for some reason.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Neither of us mind it, though. #Because he's calling us what he thinks #we're called instead of mixing us up.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...that and it's completely useless #to try and correct him.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] But you know, maybe that effect is #true for your clients too.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] How so?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well, you're worried about your #clients not hiring you because you're... #you, right?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] But think about what happens when #it's announced that a character will be #played by a different actor.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Sure, it's a character, but people #are also going for the actor playing the #character.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] So you're saying they go for MY #roleplay instead of just mere roleplay?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Sounds too far-fetched?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Sounds plausible, actually.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Okay honey! I'll take my leave #now. Don't wanna take up all of your break.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Thanks for the chat.

Name a #party and she most likely celebrates it #big.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Interesting.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] Do you like parties, Jill?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I don't mind them. They're a good #place to see people.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I'm not one to actively look for #parties to attend, though. I just... don't #mind going to them.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] Ah, I see.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] I only go to parties that Stella is #attending.

I'm not one to wear #dresses, you know?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You're not?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] I'm a tad too ripped.

I wouldn't know.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Last time I wore one, I remember #worrying my arms were too thin or #something like that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] We all have a complex, huh?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] I mean, even Stella has her own.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] That's... hard to imagine.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] Oh, but she does have one. She #distresses a lot about her bust size.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Really? She's not that small. I think #I'm smaller than her, in fact.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] Actually, it's the opposite. The #opposite kind of complex, I mean.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] She's a bit self-conscious about having #a big chest.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Really?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...again, I've seen bigger chests than #hers, to be honest.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Although I guess comparisons are #useless here. They rarely help with #complexes.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] Well, she does go the extra mile to #hide it.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] In fact, I have no idea how she does #it.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] I mean, I've seen her before and after #she tucks them away, but... I guess I never #cared enough to ask the specifics.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] That's also why when she goes out, she #styles her hair in those... um...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Drills?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] They look a bit drill-y, don't they?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] She styles her hair like that to help #divert attention away from her chest.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She seems affluent enough, why not go #through a reduction surgery?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] Because she also kinda likes having that #size.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] She takes her bust size after her mom. #And Miss Carmine is quite proud of her #chest.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seiface,happy][XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] "Puffing out your chest is a sign of #confidence! And a bigger chest means #more confidence to show!"[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] She says something along those lines a #lot.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seiface,][XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] Stella has quite the admiration for her #mom, so I guess breast reduction would feel #like betraying her?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Huh...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] I'm making it sound like she's hiding #J cups or something like that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] I guess in a taller or thicker person, #her size would be normal. She's just a bit #shorter or thinner than the norm.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] Do you get self-conscious about your #bust size, Jill?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Not really. I've been more #self-conscious about my height.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Although it usually comes up whenever #not being average height hinders me somehow.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What about you?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] Yes and... no?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seiface,sad][XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] It's not my bust size, but rather that #I look too manly sometimes.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] And I can't help but wonder if bigger #boobs would help with that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You're fine, don't worry.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seiface,happy][XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] Thank you.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Can I get you anything else?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seiface,][XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] Hm...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] Do you have something non-alcoholic?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I do.

[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] At worst, she rambles about the #nutrients in the skin and makes you cook #it without peeling it.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] So, any time I see something that #might go to waste, I can just... HEAR #Stella scolding me for it.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Huh, you'd think it'd be the #opposite.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seiface,][XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] I can't speak for other rich people, #but Stella's family has always been #really down-to-earth.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] They do indulge in expensive things #from time to time, but otherwise they're #pretty simple people.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:seiface,happy][XS:seitalk,1][C:17]Sei:[C:C] Maybe that's the reason I've been #friends with her all this time.

Why did she #have to do that?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I hated it... I didn't even know if I #wanted to go there, but she still insisted #so much. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Like she was forcing that burden on #me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And then "my" became "our" future and #she started talking about marriage...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:gabyface,surprise][XS:gabytalk,1][C:43]Gaby:[C:C] YOU WERE GOING TO GET MARRIED?![XS:gabytalk,0][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I don't think we ever took it #seriously!

Especially #considering what she did.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I didn't know what I wanted to do, but #I wasn't going to let her decide such a big #thing for me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I mean, she could be really pushy from #time to time.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Like I said, I pretty much passed #college thanks to being with her. And that #was partly because she was so pushy.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Even if she had the best intentions, #she could be... abrasive from time to time.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And it rained down on me at that #moment.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She took it upon herself to make that #choice for me. What would have stopped her #once we'd gotten married?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What if she suddenly decided to craft #my life to her needs after marriage?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I knew her. She would do it thinking it #was the best for me. But what about my #freedom? My say on the matter?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:gabytalk,1][C:43]Gaby:[C:C] So that's where you stopped loving #Lenore?[XS:gabytalk,0][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] No! No, no...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I never stopped loving her, which is #why it hurt so much. But you have to #understand.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I didn't want to wake up 40 years old #and working a job I hate.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Just out of routine. Getting used to #it.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I wanted a break from everything for a #while to put my thoughts in order.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Regroup myself. Think carefully about #what to do next.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:gabyface,shy][XS:gabytalk,1][C:43]Gaby:[C:C] I can understand. I've sometimes felt the #same, although I'm not even in college.[XS:gabytalk,0][STOPLIP:] +[XS:gabyface,][XS:gabytalk,1][C:43]Gaby:[C:C] So that's what led to you two fighting, #huh?[XS:gabytalk,0][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Heh. You know, the word "fight" makes #it sound like we exchanged blows or #something.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It's all silly when I think back to it. #Tragically silly.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Maybe I was the one who started the #fight, getting all defensive about not #wanting to take that offer.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Perhaps if I didn't overreact to her #arguments about wasting this huge #opportunity... [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Maybe she wouldn't have lashed out at #me this bad.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It could've been avoided if I had #just kept a cool head and talked about #that with her.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:gabytalk,1][C:43]Gaby:[C:C] ...my sister said something like that.[XS:gabytalk,0][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Eh?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:gabytalk,1][C:43]Gaby:[C:C] I told you she mentioned on more than #one occasion how sorry she was about the #whole thing, right?[XS:gabytalk,0][STOPLIP:] +[XS:gabytalk,1][C:43]Gaby:[C:C] "Should've listened to her to the end, #but instead I kept pushing her."[XS:gabytalk,0][STOPLIP:] +[XS:gabytalk,1][C:43]Gaby:[C:C] "I should've kept a cool head instead #of letting my jealousy take the best of #me."[XS:gabytalk,0][STOPLIP:] +[XS:gabytalk,1][C:43]Gaby:[C:C] "It was her offer, not mine.

Dead afraid. I #couldn't bring myself to face your #sister.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:gabytalk,1][C:43]Gaby:[C:C] But I faced her back then, and I was, #like, 7 at the time. Why couldn't you do #it?[XS:gabytalk,0][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It's... not quite the same.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And in perspective, no matter what #reason I come up with, it will never make #sense.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Everything sounds very stupid when I #look back, you know? Not that it makes #things easier.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I won't ever get to speak to her ever #again, and it feels bad because it's #stupid![STOPLIP:] +[XS:gabyface,shyclosed][XS:gabytalk,1][C:43]Gaby:[C:C] I swear, you and my sis were meant for #one another.[XS:gabytalk,0][STOPLIP:] +[XS:gabyface,][XS:gabytalk,1][C:43]Gaby:[C:C] You both moved on after all that, but #neither had the courage to go back and say #you're sorry.[XS:gabytalk,0][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] *sigh* And like I said, berating myself #over those past mistakes won't bring her #back.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:gabyface,shyclosed][XS:gabytalk,1][C:43]Gaby:[C:C] ...I miss her so much though.[XS:gabytalk,0][STOPLIP:] +[XS:gabytalk,1][C:43]Gaby:[C:C] We were together all the time!

When #you're on the street, unless it's somebody #really hot, you can't recall their faces...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] But learn their name and #suddenly they're a fucking snowflake #that's better than all the rest.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Huh, this is weird. I'm #feeling sleepy.[STOPLIP:][CHAT:no] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You did ask me to get you drunk. Why #is it weird?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Because I haven't felt #sleepy in quite some time. In fact, I've #been sleep deprived for a while now.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] How long?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] A week.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] A week?![STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Weeks are the ones with 30 #days, right?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Um...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Yup, totally sleepy. I can #feel my eyes getting heavier.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] And there's this weird lag #when I try to move. What's up with that?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Anyways, I think I'll take a #little nap here before storming off and #continuing the night.[STOPLIP:][CHAT:no] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] If you'll excuse me...[XS:streamhide,1][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] ...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz[STOPLIP:] +[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] Should I call a cab?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And risk waking her up?

A bit hot, but not #lightheaded. Then again, I'm always hot.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Hot-headed.)[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Your drinks are either too #light or I'm more resilient to alcohol than #I thought.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Okay, let's try this from a #different angle. You ask the questions.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What kind of questions?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamface,pout][XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] I don't know, I'm not the #bartender. Do your bartender-ish thing.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What made you decide to start #streaming yourself 24/7?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamface,ex][XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] See? That's what I'm talking #about. You're the bartender here, bartender.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamface,][XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Anyway, have you ever done #something reckless or stupid because of #peer pressure?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I think that's something everyone has #gone through.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Well, it used to be that I #very rarely succumbed to such problems.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] I was the type to never take #risks or try new things.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Every time I did, I was #scolded rather than praised. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] What point is there in doing #this stuff if nobody acknowledges you did #well?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] But some time ago I stumbled #upon a friend who would stream herself... #talking. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Nothing risque or noteworthy.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] She invited me on, and... #well... the comments were intoxicating.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] The internet is a big place. #Somehow I found within those comments #people that acknowledged me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamface,ex][XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] They encouraged me, even!.[STOPLIP:][CHAT:aw] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] After that stream, I tried #doing some by myself.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamface,][XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] I turned on the camera, put #on something cutesy and started dancing to #*Kira* Miki.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] At first, I pretended the #camera wasn't there but as soon as I saw #the comments... [STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Something snapped within me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamface,ex][XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Lewd comments, praises, the #usual random stuff...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] After seeing so many people #interested in me, I started moving a lot #more. No more shyness for me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] After that I started doing #more. I sang, I cooked, I drew things, I #even did a striptease at some point.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Whenever I was streaming, I #stopped being shy.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] So, at some point I said, #"Hey, this is the way I wanna live all #my life".[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] And thus Streaming-chan was #born.[STOPLIP:][CHAT:yeah] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Is it difficult to keep that up?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamface,][XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Not really. It's not like I'm #acting or anything. I'm just being myself.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] I do need to mind camera #angles and that kind of stuff sometimes, #but it's nothing major.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] And when do I need to mind #that? For only $99.99 a month you can find #out. Go Premium, Go![STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamface,ex][XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] ...hey! You're good at this #bartending stuff. Look at all the things #you've made me say.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamface,][XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Like, seriously. What's your #secret?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] How do you get people to #talk?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I never do that much, actually.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well, this is a bar after all.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And one of the reasons people come #to a bar is because, they sometimes want #to get things off their chests.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] So it's not a conscious trick #you could teach in a ten minute tutorial?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Nope.[STOPLIP:][CHAT:boo] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You just need to be in the right place #at the right time. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Some professions make you that personal #stranger others feel comfortable telling #their secrets to.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...of course, discretion helps too.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Hey, now that you mention #it, I do blab a lot to my hairdresser.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Pretty interesting stuff.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Well, no wild night tonight. #But it did get interesting enough.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:streamface,ex][XS:streamtalk,1][C:27]Streaming-chan:[C:C] Anyway, I should go.

You will still be "here".[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Wouldn't it be weird to know that #there's a you that's not you somewhere?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] That's... an interesting point.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I guess it'd be the same as cloning, #huh? Imagine if your cyberspace self #found out about the real you, somehow.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Hell, imagine talking to your other #self.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] There's more. Imagine placing multiple #copies of you in different situations.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Exposing each one to different #scenarios to see how they develop.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I guess it is kind of heartbreaking #in a way.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Imagine someone with some illness #uploading their brain into the ether. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Only to find out their physical bodies #are still alive and "here," instead of #living in a place where there is no disease.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] I remember an article from a while #back about the earliest forms of brain #uploading. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] It would scan the brain in such a #thorough and intense manner that it would #effectively kill the person.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] It used the words "burn the brain".[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Ouch...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] All for nothing because the data would #be corrupted or broken.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] They halted all brain uploading #research after that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] I think they started another project #about living brains in jars or something #after that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] That subject interests you, huh?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] It makes for a nice time sink when #I'm doing nothing.[XS:ph,11][E:66][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Last time you came, you mentioned #something about going haywire.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What did you mean?

But #I'm afraid of it happening.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] How so?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] I don't know. I just have the #lingering fear that at some point #I won't be myself.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] I'll go crazy, I'll wake up a #stranger to myself and I won't care...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] It's just an irrational fear that #lingers in me and there's nothing I can do #about it.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Like the fear of cockroaches for some #people.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Only instead of fearing a crawling #nuisance, you fear lunacy...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamieface,][XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Something like that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Sometimes I wonder if uploading my #brain would solve all those problems.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well, that technology is still a ways #off.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I've heard of a couple of experiments #regarding the technology, but it seems #everything's still too buggy.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] I'll have to wait until it's safe, #then...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Until then, don't worry too much about #those possibilities unless they're tangible #enough.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Otherwise, you're no better than a #hypochondriac.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Good point.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] The way you said it makes it sound #less like something you feel might happen.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Something you're just afraid COULD #happen at some point.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] That's pretty much it, yeah.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Doesn't that make you saner?

For I have a speech #prepared for these situations.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] A speech?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] You're seeing one of the 5 Great #Living Bottled Brains of the world.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] We are brains living in conditions #that allow us to exist as any other #humanoid creature.

Otherwise I'd remember a #cute face like yours.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Speaking of which, can I have your #name?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Um... it's Jill.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Jill? That's a really cute name.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Thank you.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Say, weren't you scared of going #outside today? What with the commotion #around and all...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] It didn't stop you from coming here #either, did it?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Yeah, you're right.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] It's gonna take more than cryptic #but ominous news to stop me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You're awfully energetic, did you know #that?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Sorry, does that bother you?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] No, not at all. Just that I figured a #brain in a jar wouldn't be so... happy.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] While I was alive, my body got to a #point where there wasn't much I could do.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] This new state of existence allows #me to accomplish more than I ever could #before. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Plus, I'm doing something that'll #help people in the long run.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Wouldn't you be happy?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I wonder...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Do you wanna make me happy, Jill?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Depends on what it takes.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Don't worry. Just give me a Beer.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Alright, then yeah. I'll make you #happy.[XS:ph,12][XS:mix,1][E:16][STOPLIP:] +[RES:][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Here, a Beer.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Ah yes... no matter what happens, #Beer's always good.[XS:ph,13][XS:mix,0][E:17][STOPLIP:] +[RES:][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Here.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] I guess you didn't want to make me #happy, eh?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] I'm sorry if I annoyed you.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] No, it's not that...[XS:ph,13][XS:mix,0][E:18][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It's interesting, though. Just #yesterday I was talking to a client #about brain uploads.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] You were?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Yeah. We were talking about how, even #if you upload your brain, you'd still be #here. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] I've thought about that too.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Do you think the you in the #cybernetic environment would feel like she #was indeed transferred?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Like, would she remember everything? #Like waking up someplace else and so on?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Hm... that's an interesting question.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I was actually thinking earlier about #being able to transfer someone's brain into #a Lilim.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] One of the brains is being used in #such an experiment, actually. They can make #a functional Lilim. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Unfortunately, the wiring and other #such stuff makes it look more creepy than #anything.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] They aren't transferring his #identity or anything though. Just wiring him to #a body.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Oh.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You'd think someone would rather do #that than float around exposed in a jar.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] I have to admit the whole brain thing #does look creepy. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] But the body I'm telling you about is #just uncanny-looking.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Speaking of uncanny, how did you feel #when you saw yourself like this for the #first time?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] It was quite a shock, actually. It #didn't last too long, though. I never was #too attached to my body.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Later in my life, that was almost #literal.[XS:ph,14][E:19][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Hey, Taylor. May I ask something a #bit... indiscreet?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] You can ask anything you want.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] While you had your other body... were #you male or female?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Hm... that's actually quite the #question.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Especially considering I don't really #know the answer either.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You don't?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] I mean, I remember my name WAS #Taylor.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] In fact, I remember every detail of #my life, but that the one thing's that's a #bit blurry.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Blurry?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Yeah, the team that put me here said #that it might be a side effect of the whole #process...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] But my family and friends say that #even in life I didn't put too much thought #into questions about gender.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] So, in the end we're back to square #one.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Wait, don't you have pics or anything #else?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] To be honest, I've chosen to not #look too deeply into my old identity.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Partly because I'm happier in this #ambiguous state.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] But also because I have this gut #feeling I'm not psychologically prepared to #see what I looked like.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] I don't know... I feel like if I do #I might... crumble.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Damn...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Just out of curiosity, in a third #person scenario... how should one refer #to you?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] By my name.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I guess that makes sense...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] If you absolutely need to use #pronouns, refer to me like you'd refer #to any other house appliance.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] A TV or anything like that. An "it".[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Are you okay with that?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] In the end, even if I can speak, #I'm just an object.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] That's actually something I've #internalized a long time ago. Even with #my original body.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I-I see...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] If that doesn't make you comfortable, #feel free to use neutral pronouns.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] To be honest, you can refer to me #however you want. I don't really pay mind #to that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] But this isn't about what makes me #comfortable...[XS:ph,14][E:20][STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] You know what the downside to this #body is?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] I can't get drunk.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] If you want to call that a downside...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] If you wanted to drink alcohol for #the taste, there are many alternatives.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Drunkenness is part of the whole #experience.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Why though? Lilim can get drunk with #no problem.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Yeah, but in their case, their #brain's a computer attached to their body.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Getting drunk causes their brains to #reduce the input speed to their bodies.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] Depending on the model, their "drunk-#subroutine" might throw in a different #behavioral cycle, even.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:taylortalk,1][C:28]Taylor:[C:C] It's hard to get drunk when the #whole point of you being in a jar is figuring #out exactly HOW you work.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Hm... yeah, you're right.[STOPLIP:] +[C:14]???:[C:C][XS:almatalk,1] Hey Jill![STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Oh, Alma.[STOPLIP:] +[SHOW:280,sprite_alma][SHOW:120,sprite_taylor][C:14]Alma:[C:C][XS:almaface,sigh][XS:almatalk,1] Just "Oh, Alma"?

[STOPLIP:] +[XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] You need to attack the stuff from #different angles.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] And it's something that's always #evolving. The whole point of everything #is to strengthen security.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] Every time you think you've got the #gist of it, they change everything.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] So it's kinda like an always-evolving #puzzle.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] A puzzle I help make harder at that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Huh... I didn't think about it that #way.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] It is less action-y than what movies #make it up to be, though...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] No real-time frantic typing. Nothing #like that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:almaface,smile][XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] Still, seeing my code break through #something ...

Just a #handful. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] Casual dating and one night stands on #the other hand...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Why do that? Why go through so many #people?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:almaface,serious][XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] Hey, it's not like I take every guy I #see to bed. Who do you take me for?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You know what I mean.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:almaface,][XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] Yeah, yeah...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:almaface,sigh][XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] That's... something I don't have an #answer to, actually.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] Maybe I'm just a romantic that loves #having someone to cuddle with... Maybe I #just get lonely.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] Maybe there's a deep-seated #psychological reason behind it all. Maybe #I'm just horny.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] Whatever the case, I just kinda feel #like it's a quest I shouldn't give up yet.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well, it's not like I'm too different.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Until recently, I too had a streak of #one night stands.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:almaface,][XS:almatalk,1][C:14]Alma:[C:C] Really?

That's #not how drinking with friends works.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Do you consider me a friend then, #Boss?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Why wouldn't I?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Dunno, what with being my boss and #all. I was never too sure.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Well, in case you had any doubts: #Yes, I consider you one of my best #friends.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Besides, you and Gil are always #so diligent and responsible that I'm #boss in name only anyway.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] That's good to know.[XS:ph,5][E:6][STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] On a side note, it surprises me #you kept that poster of me in the #room. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] And even more that you hung it in #plain sight.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] When I gave it to you, it was more #or less a joke, you know?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Does it make you uncomfortable?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] If it doesn't make you #uncomfortable, why would it make ME #uncomfortable? It's my own face.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I'm still wondering why you did it #though.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Aside from filling an empty spot #in the wall, I don't really know. I #thought it was funny too.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I guess it's like if someone gave #you... dunno. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] A dildo-shaped trophy or #something and you had it there #as a conversation starter.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Although no one comes here #anyways, so it's kinda pointless.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] What? No steamy nights of passion?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Not since... a year ago I think. #And I rather not talk about what #happened then.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Did someone hurt you? Because if #they did, I can go dish out the #pain.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] No, nothing of the sort. A #different kind of mess.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Uncomfortable mess. A 'not being #able to have sex for reasons' mess.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Glad to know you have my back #though.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] That's what friends are for.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Wait, you talk about the poster #and compare it to having a #dildo-shaped trophy...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Did you just call me Dildo Face?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] That's what friends are for.[XS:ph,6][E:7][STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Hey, Jill. Where did you get that #black Fore ball?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well, as with any black cat or #house cat in general, he's actually a #stray.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I found him in the alleys near #the building. Not long after I moved #here, I think.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Ah, I see.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It was quite the sight though. He #was cornered by all these dogs but #they were keeping their distance.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] He was holding his ground, #hissing and scratching as much as #he could.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] There was a fried chicken bucket #nearby that had some rain water in it, #so I threw the water over the dogs.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] They ran and I figured the cat's #mom would be nearby, so I left.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Then I noticed people looking in #my direction as I walked. Turns out #the little shit started following me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] So you brought it home.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] At first, I wanted to see if I #could find him a new home, but...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Having him welcome me whenever I #came back was just too much for my #heart, so he ended up staying.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] It was destiny, girl.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] When he came, he was so cute #though. Not like the fat mass that's #sleeping on the table.[STOPLIP:] +"Fore": Hey, you're not a spring chicken #yourself, you know.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Oho...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...shit, I actually did that in #front of someone else.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Ohohohoho...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] A-Anyway...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Don't "anyway" me, do you normally #speak for your cat like that?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...maybe.[XS:ph,7][E:8][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Hey Boss, be honest with me here.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] About what?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Who's Gil exactly?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] What do you mean?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You know what I mean. Who the fuck #is he?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Oh yeah, that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Well, I have a couple of ideas.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I know for certain that Gil was #in the Hong Kong riots. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] And he took part in the anti-riot #force before defecting.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] That should give me a clue as to #who he is but...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] But...?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] So far, I've only found out about #one such defector, and he didn't leave #Hong Kong for at least 4 years.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I also know for certain that Gil #was in England and France during that #time frame.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] And it's always like that, when I #think I have a clue as to who he is... [STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Something else comes up that #contradicts the evidence.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] That guy's troublesome.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] A bit, yeah.[XS:ph,7][E:9][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] *sigh* I wonder if Gil's alright.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] You worried about him?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You make it sound like I'm some #emotionless robot.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] You can be hard to read.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I wouldn't worry about Gil so #much though. There's three things I #know for certain about him.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] First: He can take care of #himself.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Second: You can sincerely trust #him.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And third?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] He absolutely hates bell pepper.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] He does?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I've seen him even reject food #that has been in contact with it.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Man, what a baby... unless he's #allergic or something.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] He's not.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Man, what a baby.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] How did you meet such a guy?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] He... showed up in the door of #the bar.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] He... what?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Well, it was shortly after the #whole incident with Robert and the #levitation potion.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Right... "Levitation potion".)[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] It was a slow day and he just... #showed up at the bar.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I offered him a drink, but he #said he didn't have money on him.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I... couldn't leave him alone, #so I pretty much gave the drinks for #free.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] And after a couple, he broke down #crying.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] He... huh?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I don't know what he did, but he #was really, REALLY regretting it.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] He wanted a second chance or #whatever and I told him if he could #wash himself I'd find him a job.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] And I'll be damned, he looked #totally different the next day.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Damn...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I tried and failed to find out #anything about him.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] So I decided to take him at face #value. I'd judge him from what he did #as an employee.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] And aside from the occasional #sudden escapade, he's been as loyal #as loyal gets.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I return the favor in kind, #covering his ass from time to time... #sometimes literally.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What surprises me is that you took #him in so easily.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I can take care of myself and I #always kept an eye on him.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] And besides, after the whole #Robert thing I couldn't ignore someone #that desperate so easily...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I see...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] You've made the bar more lively #yourself, you know?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] How so?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Well, with the regulars you've #earned of course.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Like that blonde titty hacker. I #can't remember her name.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Alma?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I was gonna say Armitage.[XS:ph,8][E:10][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well, she's hot, I'll give her #that much.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She's also a nice person in #general, but damn, she's hot.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Are you alright, Jill?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Yeah, why?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] It's... weird to see you say so #openly that someone's hot.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What? Even you can see she has a #hot body, Boss.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] ...you'll find no objections #here.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I mean, I'd be lying if I said I #hadn't thought about taking her to a #room and...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Jill, you sure you aren't drunk?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I am. I mean I'm sure I'm not. I #mean...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] *ahem*[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] But those are thoughts I leave to #myself. I don't think I could handle #her in a relationship. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She has... weird standards.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] That and she's as straight as #straight gets.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She's still a lovely person, #though. That she became a regular #is a blessing.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Any regular is a blessing when you #get down to it.[XS:ph,9][E:11][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She's a nice girl, you know?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I don't think she's young enough #to be called a "girl".[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Says the "Girl Who's Eternally #Seventeen."[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] In any case, she's really lovely.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] When you hear her speak of her #family, she speaks with such love. #Her face just brightens up.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It makes me kind of jealous that #she has such a close relationship with #them, to be honest.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] You have bad relations with your #family?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Not bad, but I'm not exactly close #to anyone aside from my mom, dad, and #aunt.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] But back to Alma, I'm really #hoping she finds a nice guy to settle #with.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I mean, she's so bent into finding #one, I can't help but want her to #succeed.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Ah, I see.[XS:ph,9][E:12][STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] There's also that sex worker robot #girl.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Ah, Dorothy.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] She intrigues me, though. I've #seen lots of sex workers over the #years, and she seems pretty giddy.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] It's not that she likes her job, #but rather that she takes to it with #such childish excitement.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I've kinda noticed that too. But #then again, Lilim can be weird.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] You think?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Lilim operate in some really #foreign logic.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I mean, they don't really share #our fear of mortality.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Even if their bodies are #destroyed, their minds are already #backed up in the collective source.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] If they lose an arm, they can #reattach it or replace it. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Depending on the circumstances, #they might not even feel pain at all.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It's not like they haven't #attained human-like emotions like fear #or love, but they are... different.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Like a different culture, if you #must.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Hm... I didn't see it that way.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Aside from that, Dorothy is a #DFC-72. It's a "Social Interactions" #model or something.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Lilim get positive reinforcement #straight from their bodies if they're #fulfilling their main purpose, so...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I'm guessing she gets a built-in #push whenever she's in a meaningful or #"challenging" social interaction.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Interesting.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] The name "Lilim" is a bit weird #though.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It is?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] You'd expect them to be called "Bots" #or "Dolls", but "Lilim" doesn't convey #the image of automatons.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Just a tip. "Bots" and "Dolls" are #considered slurs by them.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] "Bot" is akin to calling them #retarded and "Doll" is like calling #them fake.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Thanks for the advice.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] That aside, do you know why they're #called Lilim?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] As far as I know, because they all #come from a bigger AI called Lilith.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And Lilim are Lilith's offspring in #Jewish folklore.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Ooooooh, cool.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Hey, speaking of names, why don't #you like being called by your full name?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I have no idea what you're talking #about.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Don't act stupid. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Back when you first transferred, I #called you Julianne and you almost tore #me a new one with your glare.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] See? Like that.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It's no big secret, but it's one #of those things that feels silly #when you say it out loud.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Try me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well... did you ever watch "Model #Warrior Julianne"?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Not all of it, but my little #sister's a big fan of the reruns.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Back when I was in elementary #school I was a HUGE fan of the show.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I had everything. From the dolls #to the costumes to the lunch boxes.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It didn't help that it was one of #those shows that got strapped literally #everywhere.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I saw a couple of episodes once. #They were really nice![STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It was beyond nice! The show's #about a model who can transform into #an armor-clad magic knight. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She fights demons born from greed #and vanity.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] How the show presented Jules #hating her job because it invited #enemies. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And yet still found solace in #trying to be a role model...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Hell, the main character wasn't a #kid. Julianne was an adult that became #younger when transformed.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I'd say it was a pretty ambitious #kid's show. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Even by today's standards![STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Just the fact that her enemies were #literally issues dealing with beauty #standards of body image...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Challenging as fuck.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Whoa, you got excited there.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And that is the problem. Back #then I was obsessed with Jules. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I sang the songs, dressed like #her. I could even recite full #chapters.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Something tells me you still can.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...that's beside the point.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It was nice while I was in #elementary school, but then I went to #middle school... [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And what a surprise, tweens are #jackasses.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] They went out of their way to #tease me about the things I did back #then.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I don't hold it against Jules. I #always hold my grudge against those #fuckjobs.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Sounds rough.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You know how most girls worry #about their thighs at that age? [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I worried about jerkasses singing #the theme tune of the show mocking me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Anyways, everytime someone calls #me Julianne or Jules, I instinctively #react negatively. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Pavlov would be proud of me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I never talk about it because I #find the whole thing too silly in #retrospect.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] And yet, it affects you even #today. There's nothing wrong with it #though. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] It's actually kinda reasonable.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I sure hope so.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Come to think of it. What kind of #kid were you, Boss?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] When I was a toddler, I was the #kind to always fight with kids bigger #than me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Then puberty happened and I #became the Merriam-Webster definition #of "shallow jerkwad".[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Around the time I turned 16, I #realized what an idiot I was and went #on to become who I am today.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] And the less I talk about those #years from 12 to 15, the better.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Fair enough.[XS:ph,10][E:13][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Say Boss... how do you like them #men?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] 2D.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] 2D?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Yes. I don't mind anything as #long as that thing is cute or 2D. #How about you?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Um...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Back in high school, I liked them #funny. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] In college, I liked them #successful. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] After a while, I just wanted them #stable, and now...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] And now...?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I... don't know.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I stopped caring about them being #funny. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] My high school boyfriend started #conflating "cheering me up" with #"mocking me when I'm down".[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I also stopped caring about them #being successful. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I realized half the time they had #no qualms about cheating with me or on #me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And I stopped caring about them #being stable. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I realized they were the kind of #person I was trying not to become.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Not become stable?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] There was this guy who became so #obsessed with holding a stable job #that he hated... [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] He started being physically ill.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Not only that. The last time I #managed to get some, I ended up #throwing the guy out. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] He took incredible offense with how I #smoked on the bed after sex.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] The bed could catch fire, you #know?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Not you too...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I kinda envy Alma for that. At #least when she dumps a guy it's for... #less petty reasons.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] *sigh*[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Are you okay?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I'm fine, it's just... it all #boils down to the fact that I can't #get my mind off Lenore lately.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She was... she was all of what I #just said.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She made me laugh, she had a good #position and was stable.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She was also smart, caring and #why can't I get my mind off the whole #thing?![STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It's... it's maddening. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Maybe I should go and apologize?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Maybe, I should. Maybe that will #make me rest easier at night, get my #mind off things for a while.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I don't even care about going #back to her, but... but...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Agh![STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] ...hey Jill. Have you tried #thinking about clothes for Fore?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Clothes for...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...heh.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Listen, I know how you must feel.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] But you can't let all of that #cloud your senses.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Next time you feel overwhelmed by #those thoughts, try distracting #yourself.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Like with, say... thinking what #kind of clothes you can put on Fore.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Yeah...[XS:ph,11][E:14][STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] So Jill, what kind of guy was #your grandpa?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] He was rough around the edges. #The kind of guy that means well even #if he says otherwise.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] He seemed to have a soft spot for #me, though. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] One moment, he was congratulating #my dad by berating him a little... [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...and the next, he was playing #with me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] My dad worked a lot and my mom #was always traveling, so I spent most #of my childhood with him.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Can I ask how he died?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Out of old age. My dad says his #last words were something like...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] "Fucking scientists. Created talking #mannequins, but they still can't let you #upload your brain..."[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Why the question?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I'm curious about you. Really #curious.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I just realized that even though #we see each other almost every day, I #know very little about you.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Oh.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] From what you tell me though, #seems your grandpa's personality #rubbed off on you a bit.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I've heard that one since I was a #kid, actually.[XS:ph,11][E:15][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You know, Boss, I'm a bit curious #about your circle of friends. What kind #of people do you have in it?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Keep in mind, you're included in #this circle too, so any insults you #hurl will apply right back to you.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Anyways. I have this friend I've #known for a long time. A red-headed, #glasses-wearing gun-nut called Iris.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] The one you called for the helmet #thing?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] That one.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] She's managing a BTC bar in Panama #right now, if I remember correctly.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She's managing a bar too?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I got the idea from her, actually.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Oh.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] It's called N1-RV Ann-A, and if #you thought this city was dangerous...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] You should see the people she has #to deal with there.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Piracy ain't nothing to fuck with.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] "Ann" means it's an annex to #another business. What else does #she do there?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I think the bar was originally #her hotel's bar.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] She moved the bar to its own #building elsewhere and opened #N1-RV Ann-B in the hotel instead.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Weird decision.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I believe she said she wanted a #place "away from the noisy rich tourists #that go to the hotel."[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] So that bar is her woman cave.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Woman cave...)[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] That aside, let's see... friends, #friends...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I guess there's also my little #sister, but that's a given.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Oh! There's also my old partner #from when I was with the Neo-San #Francisco police force.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Good ol' Lexi. Should give her a #call sometime.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Wait, you were in the what?![STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I've done lots of things, Jill.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I spent a short time collaborating #with the police force. I've been a #wrestler, an MMA fighter...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Chimney cleaner, lumberjack, pet #shop attendant, corporate mascot...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Corporate what?![STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I still see my face on some #websites from time to time.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Anyways, aside from you, Gil, my #sis, Iris and Lexi... hm...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I guess there're a lot of people #that don't want to see me in harm's #way.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] ...mostly because they're the ones #that want to hurt me.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] What about you?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I guess I have acquaintances here #and there. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Back at home and college, #I went out a lot.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] But it felt more like going out #was the pleasure, rather than the #people involved.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Aside from you and Gil, my #closest friend since moving here is #Alma... oh, and Dorothy.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I mean, sure. There's always Fore, #but that cat's a hermit that refuses #to go out.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And you know... he's a cat.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Hey, a cat's fine too, you know?[XS:ph,12][E:16][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Boss.

I accepted no less than #state-of-the-art tech.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] That's how I got it.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] That's technically correct, but #COME OOOOON![STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Why do you wanna know how I got #it?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I just wanna know more about you.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You're always so cool and awesome #and...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Can you at least tell me if it #does something cool?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] It does have a couple of #utilities installed, yeah.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] There's a HDD in the forearm I #use to save assorted data.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] It has a flashlight and a clock, #but many prosthetic arms have those #nowadays. Kinda like watches.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] How did you feel when you lost #it?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] To be honest, I was sad, but I #was also satisfied.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Yeah, I lost my dominant arm, but #its sacrifice helped a bigger purpose.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] If I had to lose another limb to #accomplish such a thing again, I'd #totally do it.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] But of course, I just hope it #doesn't come to that ever again.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Now you're just teasing me![STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] You'll hear nothing else from #me, young lady.[XS:ph,13][E:18][STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Hey Boss... what will you do when #the bar closes?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I don't know.

Any small bar #with small income is being investigated #heavily right now.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] So the closure notice is due to low #sales...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:briantalk,1][C:30]Brian:[C:C] Among the reasons a bar can get axed, #low sales is the rarest one.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:briantalk,1][C:30]Brian:[C:C] If low sales were a problem, lots of #bars would close every year.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] "You'll find out soon enough" huh...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:briantalk,1][C:30]Brian:[C:C] Sorry?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Oh, nothing.

Don't worry.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Although I guess it's mostly because I #can't wrap my mind around the whole "taking #a human life" thing.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Knowing you've killed people and #are now talking to me here? It's... #weird.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It reminds me of when I first took #sex ed classes.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I couldn't wrap my mind around people #doing that stuff and living normally.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamieface,][XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Unlike with sex ed, it's better #that you stay that way, mind you.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Taking lives is not something you #should get used to.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Ah yes, I know a good way to change #the subject a bit.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Would you like to hear about the most #dangerous bounty hunter in the city?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] The way you said that was like offering #a tale to a bored kid. But yeah, I'd like to #hear that one.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] You see, there was actually a #bounty hunter organization in this city #not too long ago.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Law enforcement would put a price #on a dangerous person's head and pay #for the proof of that person's death.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] There was a guy everyone called Jet #Black James. He got the nickname because #he always wore black clothes.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] The interesting thing was that the #black clothes were there to hide blood #stains he got from his contracts.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] His tracking skills were top-notch, #his information network was the best. [STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Some even joked he would finish #the bounty within half an hour, or #he wouldn't take the reward.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] ...he was too good, in fact.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] At one point he took all bounties and #didn't take a single reward. He was just #that crazy by then.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] The last bounty that the #organization ever posted was on James' #head.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] The police had him cornered. His last #words were "Send it all to my account" #before shooting himself.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Damn... why hasn't that been made into #a movie?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] So... there were no more bounties after #that?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] A registered bounty hunter was #charged with many counts of manslaughter #using his old targets as proof.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] If somebody else tried to recreate #the organization, the seed of doubt would #grow in little to no time.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] What guarantee is there that such an #organization wouldn't actually be a trap?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] They could use the registered #bounty hunters to take care of the #most bothersome criminals...[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] And then dispose of the bounty #hunters by pressing charges using their #targets as evidence.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] So... no. Jet Black James made sure #that no law enforcement organization is #able to set up bounty hunting of any kind.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Ever since then, anyone crazy #enough to be a bounty hunter works #independently.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Were you part of that organization?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] I've actually had those suspicions #I'm telling you about since the day I #heard such a thing exists.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Glad to know I wasn't just paranoid.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I don't know how well you changed the #subject, but that was certainly one #interesting story.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Just to make sure. You're not a rebuilt #Jet Black James or something, right?[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamieface,surprise][XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] The name James is pretty common, #Jill.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamieface,][XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Besides, if I remember correctly, his #real name was actually Theodore.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Oh.[STOPLIP:] +[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] That story left my throat a bit #dry.
