[SHAKE:][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] BWAH!![STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] That's a sound you don't hear every #day.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] B-Boss? What are you doing with that #helmet?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I was just about to ask you where it #came from.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] A White Knight came yesterday. She #left and... well... she forgot to take it #with her.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I figured she'd eventually come #looking for it so I left it under the #count-... wait.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Do you regularly put things on without #asking who they belong to first?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I don't plan and evaluate every move, #Jill... I just act.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Anyway, as your boss, I'm taking this #helmet until the client comes for it.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You sound happy.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Well, this helmet is comfortable. And #cool. And comfortable, and cool, and... and #really, really cool.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Apparently.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] I'll leave the rest up to you. I'll #detonate the Pluto Warhead somewhere safe.[XS:dantalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] The what where now?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dantalk,1][C:15]Dana:[C:C] Nothing. Nevermind.[XS:dantalk,0][XS:danhide,1][STOPLIP:]
[XS:gilface,][SHOW:185,sprite_gil][XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] She seems happy.[XS:giltalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She's been tense these past couple of #days. If she's somehow relaxed now, good.[STOPLIP:]

[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] Yup.[XS:giltalk,0][XS:gilhide,1][STOPLIP:]

[SHOW:185,sprite_kim][XS:kimface,mad][XS:kimtalk,1][C:22]Kim:[C:C] Because of you I got up late and lost #a full day of work! And on the day everyone #got a nifty assignment too![XS:kimtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Wait. Because of me?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:kimtalk,1][C:22]Kim:[C:C] You were the one that got me drunk and #made me fall asleep like a goddamn log![XS:kimtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] So you arrived home safely. That's #nice.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:kimtalk,1][C:22]Kim:[C:C] T-That's all you have to say?![XS:kimtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What do you want me to say?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] If I felt remorse over every client #that gets drunk in here, I wouldn't be #working.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:kimtalk,1][C:22]Kim:[C:C] B-But...![XS:kimtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] True. Morally speaking, I shouldn't #let people get drunk. [STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] But getting people drunk IS the #unspoken main purpose of my job.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And I did say that I didn't know how #much alcohol you could handle, didn't I?[STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What brings you here today, Mr. #Donovan?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:donface,][XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Today, we were supposed to hand #the interns an article topic.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] All those crazy bitches came #flocking to me like the first high schooler #with a car. [XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:donface,shitgrin][XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] I couldn't deal with it, so I #switched places with some poor sap. [XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] He was supposed to be doing an #interview today, but to hell with that.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:donface,smile][XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] And thanks to all that shit, I #found myself here, blessing your hell hole #with my presence.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You were here yesterday too. How did #that come about?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:donface,][XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] There's this gal that's #performing at a concert later tonight.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Yesterday, I was tuning the #details of the interview I'd have with her #today.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] And like I said, I'd rather work #here than deal with a pack of competitive #bitches.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I see.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] How was the interview?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Easy enough. The fact that the #gal had a nice pair of knockers helped.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] We've come a long way in the #department of Lilim sex appeal, I tell #you.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She was a Lilim then?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Yes, one of those new fancy #King-Class CH1A models.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] I've heard they're anatomically #correct in every way. [XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] I wouldn't mind finding out #about that myself.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Hm? Hey, you! The guy with a #John face.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] Huh? Me?[XS:giltalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] What the hell is a "John Face?"[XS:giltalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Yeah, you. Do I know you?[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] I don't think so, sir.[XS:giltalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] No, no. I'm pretty sure I know #you.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Wait wait wait... it was the #Hong Kong riots ten years ago, right?[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] I-I've never been to Hong Kong... #and I certainly didn't defect from any #anti-riot force after stealing supplies.[XS:giltalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Really? That's a bummer.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] You look like a guy who owes me #a drink.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You were in those riots, Mr. Donovan?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Do I look like some anarchist #hippie to you?[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Ten years ago, I tried to start #a silicone business.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] So, I was in Hong Kong talking #with some investors when those damned riots #broke out.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Seriously, though. Did they #really think the laws they were trying to #pass wouldn't backfire?[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] They were openly trying to #segregate people with augmentations![XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] No matter how many "They have #different capabilities" you put in-between, #it's still segregation.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] And once people start crying #"Segregation!" like that you're doomed.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] This is the PR century! If #you're gonna do that, disguise it a bit.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] That's a... very laconic way of #summarizing the incident.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I mean, there was a political agenda #revolving around cheap labour.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And the plan reached such a developed #stage because the media was instilling #fear in the public.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] The general fear that augmented people #would become power-hungry maniacs was a key #factor in the plans.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And everything is mostly the aftermath #of previous protests where-...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] On second thought, maybe it's better #to be laconic. [STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Trying to get the full picture might #take you back beyond the industrial #revolution.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] All that happened when I got out of #high school. [STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I remember I had to turn down a #scholarship in Hong Kong because of all that.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Heh, scholarship. That's no mean #feat, brat.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well, I guess even without the #scholarship, there would have been the #language barrier.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I remember I was kinda excited back #then because I was really into this one #Chinese idol band.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It's... one of those things I'd rather #not remember much of.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:donface,smile][XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] You'd be surprised at how easy #Chinese can be.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] So you know how to speak Chinese?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:donface,][XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] The only translator I had #available was some pizza-faced pencilneck.[XS:dtalk,0] [STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] And I wasn't gonna allow myself #to be seen with THAT.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] If someone like me can learn #Chinese in two weeks, well... [XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:donface,shitgrin][XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] I'm guessing a scholarship #student might have a chance.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Why do I feel like he suddenly #challenged me to finally learn Chinese?)[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Chinese?)[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Wait... when you say "Chinese", do #you mean Mandarin or Cantonese?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:donface,][XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Tangerine? Cantowhat?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] When people say "Chinese," theyre #usually referring to the written word. #Not the spoken one.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It's important to clarify because #there are lots of dialects in the Chinese #language.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] In Hong Kong, lots of people speak #Cantonese, so just saying "Chinese" won't #do.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You might've learned Cantonese #because you were only going to Hong #Kong.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Or you might've learned Mandarin #because it's the one spoken by the #majority elsewhere...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] I went to Hong Kong and #managed to seal a deal. I have no idea #about anything else.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] R-Right...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:donface,][XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Anyways, surely a student with #a scholarship can serve me a Marsblast #too, right?[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] *ahem* S-Sure, on it.[XS:mix,1][XS:ph,6][E:10][STOPLIP:]

[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Would you mind telling me if I #said anything someone could use against me #in a court of law?[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Unless complaining about your investors #can be used as a legal weapon, I don't think #so.[STOPLIP:]

[XS:donface,][XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] What did I tell you?[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] How they wanted unreasonable stuff, #how they feel like they have more power #than you do, and all that.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Oh yeah, I recall something like #that. But then again, it seems to be #something I say a lot when drunk.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] That and racial slurs in German.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Racial slurs in... what?)[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] But let me tell you something. #There are people worse than your investors.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Who?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Your clients.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] E-Excuse me?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Your readers! If you think #clients are always right then you're wrong #-- unless I'm the client, that is. [XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] We live in an era where PR #is the first and only word in anything.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] You can sell the shittiest of #stuff and people will buy it if you're the #apple of their eyes.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] But make one fucking mistake #and it's OVER for you. You're suddenly a #criminal to them.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] No chance of appeal. Gods #forbid if they ever catch something you #said out of context.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] A month ago, we had to clarify #that we were talking about the animal in an #article about "cougars in nearby forests."[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] All because we got a pack of #forty-year-old divorced soccer moms crying #about hurt feelings.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] They were having picnic parties #in the same forests and thought we were #writing about them.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] God! I hope at least one of #them gets eaten by their damned namesake.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Pfft...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Yeah, it's funny when somebody #else hears it, but the smell of rosy #perfume still makes my blood boil.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Nowadays, nobody can take a #joke. They're always out for blood.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] You can't win. You will ALWAYS #offend somebody.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] And while some take it #graciously, many just LOVE feeling #insulted.[XS:dtalk,0] [STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] They RELISH the thought of #ganging up against something.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] And those hypersensitive #bastards are your clients - they're #the ones you have to target.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] I run a goddamn newspaper! The #whole point is to present news in the most #neutral way possible![XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Sure... let's go with that.)[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (I mean, it's not like he's totally #wrong, but...)[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Hearing it from him is kinda...)[XS:ph,8][E:14][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] So, I'm a bit interested in this #interview you had. Can you tell me anything #about it?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] You don't run any blogs, right? #No microphones hiding between your boobs?[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] ...do you have boobs at all?[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...*cough*[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] There's this one blog I wrote when I #was 12. But it just fills me with shame, #so I try to forget it exists.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Okay then.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] It started with the same boring #questions.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] How are you, why choose this #place, how's the city, the tour, new single, #blah blah blah...[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] It went by very quickly. It was #the "Regular Interview Stencil," as we call #it in the business.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:donface,smile][XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] So I tried some fun questions #afterwards.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] "How big are your tits? Is it #true that you don't wear underwear on stage? #Are you still a virgin?"[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] How did she react?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:donface,][XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] She answered them like it was #the most natural thing on earth![XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] I don't think I wanna know what #kind of questions other people have asked.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] I did it to get a reaction #out of her, but she just took it in her #stride.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Huh...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] In case you were interested, #the answers were: 91 centimeters, depends #on the costume, and no.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I see.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Her room backstage was filled #to the brim with gifts of all sorts.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Dolls, blue roses, chocolates, #fruit. I'm pretty sure I saw at least three #dildos in there too.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Perhaps too much info, but thanks #anyways.[STOPLIP:]

[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] I just finished an interview and #it must be posted as soon as possible.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] The fact that we're posting it #AFTER the chick finished her concert is #enough of a problem already.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Something delayed the interview?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] The interview was supposed to #happen last Friday![XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] One of the interns -- this meek #little girl -- was supposed to do it, but #for some fucking reason, she just didn't.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] I spent two days negotiating #something else instead.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] "Negotiating"... did you have to pay #or something?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Basically, when that encore #concert happens, I need to plaster that #chick's face all over the front page.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] They only accept people born or #raised in South California and go through #hellish training on a daily basis.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] They have to. No normal person can run #around in swimsuits in this cold weather.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] They have an interesting view on #the world and how it works, but they're #pretty sensitive too.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dtalk,1][C:20]Mr. Donovan:[C:C] Too many outlets have insulted #them in the past, so they are trigger-happy #against defamation.[XS:dtalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Okay, then. How's this for a #bonus payment?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Oh... the ticket from Friday.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Can't believe I still remember that.)[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] That guy was so nice in giving it #to me.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,dogs][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] ...too bad it was filled to the #brim with dogs. I would've enjoyed the drink #here otherwise.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (I don't think this ticket should be #valid...)[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (...but then again, they were #improvised, so there isn't really a #contract involved or anything.)[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] You know...[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Hm?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,smug][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] If you're lonely enough to start #talking to yourself, we could hit an #arrangement.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Keep me fed and I'll keep you #company.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] You'll still need to pay if you #want to get naughty, though.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I think I'll pass. I already have a #cat that does all that.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Do you pay him to-...[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Finish that sentence and I'll make #sure you truly become invisible.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,think][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. Consider this #a standing offer, though.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Oh! Hey John![XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] Ah, Dorothy.[XS:giltalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Didn't see you here last Friday.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] I was... dealing with some stuff #over the weekend.[XS:giltalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] AND Monday.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] Yeah, yeah...[XS:giltalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Was it a girl?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] I wish...[XS:giltalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] What did you do? What did you do?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] I'd rather not talk about it.[XS:giltalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Hey honey, what did he do?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Gil's been a complete mystery for as #long as I've known him.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] His past is like a nebulous mass that #tries to bite him every once in a while.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Nebulous?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You hear so much random stuff it's #hard to make connections about what happened #when.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And, you know, people lie.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Does your boss know about it?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She said "I'm not one to judge". Seems #like she knows what the hell's going on.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] But I think I'm better off not knowing. #It's not really that necessary and it's a #pain to think about.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] I'm... right here, you know?[XS:giltalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Did I tell any lies?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] No, but...[XS:giltalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] ...nevermind.[XS:giltalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Oh yeah. About your boss. Why was #she wearing a helmet?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She found it. She put it on. Now, #she's stuck.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,think][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Oh. Yeah, randomly putting on stuff #you find is problematic.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] No shit.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I mean, there's this girl that #wanted to see if she could use a glass #bottle as a-...[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] *ahem* A bit early for those stories, #don't you think?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Nope.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] By the way, it's weird that I didn't #see you yesterday.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I have a job too, you know?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Yeah, but you usually come before #you start.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,smug][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Aww... did you miss me that much?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Yesterday was a bit different. I #worked the entire day.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I don't know if I should ask.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Oh, it was weird, but not... #kinky weird?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] The guy paid me to spend ALL DAY #pretending to be his daughter.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Really?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Yeah, I go to his house at 11 a.m, #dress as requested and spend all day there.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Play some games, occasionally tell #him I love him, go to bed when ordered, #and leave.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,think][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Nothing sexual. I used to expect #him to push me against the ground and have #his way with me.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] But after three years, it's unlikely #that'll happen.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Three years?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Yeah. One day a year for three years #now.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Oh, but last year he also wanted me #to play the part on his daughter's birthday.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Wait a second... does he have a #daughter or not?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Had. Seems she died four years ago.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Oh...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,think][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Yup. I seem to attract that kind of #people for some reason.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What kind of people?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Nobody. I said nothing.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Gimme a Moonblast, would you?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Sure.[XS:mix,1][XS:ph,4][E:26][STOPLIP:]
[RES:][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Here.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] There's something interesting about #this drink.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I don't actually like it, but I #can't stop drinking them.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It tastes like a bit of sugar drowned #in pure alcohol. Small wonder you feel #like that.[XS:ph,5][XS:mix,0][E:27][STOPLIP:]
[RES:][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Here.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Alright, I'll take your offer this #time.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I'll let you know I don't do this #with everyone.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Right...[XS:ph,5][XS:mix,0][E:28][STOPLIP:]
[RES:][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Here yo-...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] And you're WRONG.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,smug][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] If I remember correctly, you have a #recipe book. Mind using it?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[XS:ph,5][XS:mix,0][E:29][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Hey, did you see something about a #concert outside?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] A concert?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Yeah. Now that you mention it, I #remember seeing a line near the stadium a #couple of blocks away.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,pachi][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] They couldn't take their eyes off #of me, so I took some photos with them.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Oh.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Why do you ask?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Someone was here just a minute ago. #Seems he was interviewing the star of the #show.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Really? What kind of person is #this star?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Some girl. He didn't tell me her name.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Seems she's a King-Class CH1A.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,think][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Oh...[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What's with that reaction?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Nothing, it's just that the CH1A is #the model that comes after mine.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Really?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,angry][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Yeah, they think they're so #important because they have more #sensitivity points in their skins.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] And because their voice modulators #are more advanced.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] They do?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,think][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] ...n-no, I'm just kinda jealous #that they do.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I had to mod myself to have what #they have from the get-go, you know?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Wait, they don't make DFC-72s like you #anymore?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,angry][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] My line is quite alive and well, #thank you very much.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] The difference with the CH1A is #mostly that they sacrifice functionality #for appearance.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] They don't have an expansion port in #their heads and their senses and abilities #are more akin to those of humans.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] They're mostly for human #stand-ins, while my line is slightly more #work-oriented.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Huh, I see.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Oh yeah, I think I saw the concert #poster outside the bar.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Poster...?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] You work here, you should know which #one![XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I... kinda forget things on that #entryway from time to time. All because #of Didi and Gogo.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Who?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] The vending machines outside. They #blabber so much I've learned to ignore #anything on the door.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Oh! And here I was wondering why #their volumes were reduced so much.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] They're interesting to talk with, they #just talk... so... much.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You can actually get physically sick #from listening to them for too long.[XS:ph,6][E:30][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] There's something I've been meaning to #ask you...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,pachi][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Yes, I'm single and I don't mind #that you're a girl.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Do you actually mind what anyone is?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Not at all.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Anyway, it's not about that...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Do all DFC-72s look like kids?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Yes and no.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Out of factory, we look like kids #because our development needs to be as #close to human as possible.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Then you look like babies outside the #factory?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Nope, every fresh DFC-72 looks about #10 to 13. It makes it easier to upgrade #later.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Upgrade?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Once a DFC-72 passes three #"maturity tests" it can opt for a factory #upgrade. [XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Said upgrade alters its body to #something older.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Some go for it, some don't.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Will you go through it?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,think][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I don't know. Right now, I'm a #rarity.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] You don't find many like me in my #line of work, so I have an advantage.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] And I really need that advantage, #you know?[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] How so?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,think][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] When people hire me, half the time #it's not because I'm me.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] The amount of roleplaying I have to #do on a normal night is ridiculous.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] So, if I stop looking underaged, #I'll lose my advantage over everyone else.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I didn't think about it that way.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Should I think about it at all?)[STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I mean, maybe I'll go through with #it if I ever decide to retire or something.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] But right now I'm just fine the way #I am![XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I see.[XS:ph,6][E:31][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Not really.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] It would happen less if Jill would #just let people call her Jules.[XS:giltalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I heard restaurants do that from #time to time.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] You don't seem too upset about it.[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] You have the same stern look to #your face.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] The guy made me dress in a school #uniform with a training bra and some bunny #panties.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Then he asked me to stand near the #bed and say "What are we doing for homework #today?"[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] He started spouting nonsense, like #he was trying to live all of his fantasies #at the same time or something.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:doroface,pachi][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] If you need a price list, I have a #convenient card with updated fees![XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I can give you a discount if you pay #for the room or invite me to dinner.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Is it true that the DFC-72 line leaves #tracking nanomachines in the other person #after... well...[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] That's a semi-myth that nobody has #tried to dispel.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] It's true, but also not true at the #same time.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jamieface,][XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Care to explain?[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] We do have tracking nanomachines, #but they're released when the body enters #alert mode.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] When we're being assaulted or the #like. That way, the authorities can chase #down the attacker.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,think][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] It's kind of buggy, though. [XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I've heard stories of DFC-72s who #marry, get nervous on their wedding night, #and BAM![XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Their partners end up spending the #honeymoon in jail.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] I see.[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:doroface,][XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] And besides, I've modded myself so #much that if any tracking nanomachines were #still being released...[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] I'd have to commend their tenacity #to be honest.[XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] There's also this urban myth that #those nanomachines help improve performance, #but that's just silly. [XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:dorotalk,1][C:18]Dorothy:[C:C] Now I get to ask you something![XS:dorotalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] You know, years ago I met the lead #engineer of the moon cannon.[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What kind of guy was he?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] A bit cocky. He said he started the #project to pick up girls.[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Apparently he always told them he'd #name it after them.[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Seems it was *this* close to being #called the Simonetta cannon instead of the #Selene cannon.[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Huh...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] That one poem about it would've been #pretty weird like that.[STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I think there was a Chinese emperor #that died from drinking mercury mixed with #powdered jade.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] That would cause liver failure, #mercury poisoning, and brain death.[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Hey, are there many gun-for-hire types #in this city?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Not really. There's maybe two girls #and three guys, myself included. Why?[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Yesterday, there was this client #talking about how a White Knight killed #his daughter.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Said he sent someone to "take care" of #the guy. That the hire brought back the #guy's head.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] So, I wanted to know if it sounds #familiar to you.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Hm... can you give me the guy's #name?[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] What could that be?[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] First it was how a professional #assassin could be so polite and pleasant #to be around... [STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...but I guess your line of work #doesn't have to have any bearing on your #personality.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jamieface,][XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Thanks a lot.[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] What I've often wondered about is how #you can be so calm here?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Aren't you worried about police or the #like?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Well... first of all, I try to keep #everything as clean as possible.[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] Have you tried asking her?[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] She told me "It's more interesting if #it's left a mystery."[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Which leads me to believe that she #might have started some of the rumors #herself.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jamietalk,1][C:23]Jamie:[C:C] They're believable because she's her.[XS:jamietalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Maybe I'll see her in action one day.[STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Eh?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:mikitalk,1][C:42]*Kira* Miki:[C:C] Yeah, you know. Like spinning #bottles and lighting drinks on fire. That #kind of stuff.[XS:mikitalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] When I was in college, I tried going to #a party once.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] The bartender who tried those tricks #gave me a nasty bump on the forehead when #the bottle slipped his hand.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Those kind of theatrics usually feel #pointless and seem to slow down the process #of actually making a drink.[STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] So, how is it?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:mikitalk,1][C:42]*Kira* Miki:[C:C] It could be a bit sweeter but #it's delicious.[XS:mikitalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[RES:][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Here.[STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And what did you need?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:mikitalk,1][C:42]*Kira* Miki:[C:C] Something that'll wake me up, #or help me sober up a bit before going #back.[XS:mikitalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You could've said so earlier and I #would've fixed you something like that.[STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I can see that you enjoy what you do, #but how much of it is about the music?[STOPLIP:]

[XS:mikitalk,1][C:42]*Kira* Miki:[C:C] I had concerts every week and #part-timed in bars with a jazz band.[XS:mikitalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Whoa...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Why the change?[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Going from jazz and piano to idol...[STOPLIP:]
[XS:mikiface,][XS:mikitalk,1][C:42]*Kira* Miki:[C:C] Have you ever thought about the #power music has over people?[XS:mikitalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:mikitalk,1][C:42]*Kira* Miki:[C:C] You could argue it's just #noise, but it can make you feel a wide range #of emotions.[XS:mikitalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:mikitalk,1][C:42]*Kira* Miki:[C:C] And that power is universal. #It can transcend language and culture.[XS:mikitalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:mikitalk,1][C:42]*Kira* Miki:[C:C] Being in a jazz band or #performing recitals, I can only take that #power to so many people.[XS:mikitalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:mikiface,smile][XS:mikitalk,1][C:42]*Kira* Miki:[C:C] But being an Idol, I can take #that power and spread it far and wide![XS:mikitalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I'm not picky, but I do prefer versions #with no lyrics.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:mikitalk,1][C:42]*Kira* Miki:[C:C] Why?[XS:mikitalk,0][STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I like to listen to music while #working, and lyrics distract me.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And besides, it always bothers me #when people nonchalantly start singing songs #with creepy lyrics.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I think only half of the listeners #actually care about what's being said.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:mikitalk,1][C:42]*Kira* Miki:[C:C] Oh, that's a bummer.[XS:mikitalk,0][STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Something tells me you're one human #sacrifice away from being a pagan goddess #of sorts.[STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I'm surprised you remember all those #names.[STOPLIP:]
[XS:mikitalk,1][C:42]*Kira* Miki:[C:C] I try to remember as many of my #fans' names as possible. I'd be a bad Idol #if I didn't.[XS:mikitalk,0][XS:ph,10][E:65][STOPLIP:]
