SuncaCity (5:13:10 PM):    "Is he still alive in there?"
FrozenFarce (5:13:10 PM):   any reason?  The arm I guess?
FrozenFarce (5:13:15 PM):   gotcha
FrozenFarce (5:13:20 PM):   well, let's assume the other guys
SuncaCity (5:13:21 PM): The officer with the taser asks.
FrozenFarce (5:13:25 PM):   are tasing the lone piece of fungus I knocked off
FrozenFarce (5:13:32 PM):   for scientific and descriptive purposes
SuncaCity (5:13:39 PM): You're receiving a call from Wilson.
FrozenFarce (5:13:56 PM):   [bluetooth] ANSWER
SuncaCity (5:13:58 PM): Wait, what are we assuming?
FrozenFarce (5:14:02 PM):   (i'm gonna assume this puts him in my call)
FrozenFarce (5:14:04 PM):   oh
FrozenFarce (5:14:10 PM):   that the other cops are tasing the lone piece of fungus I knocked off
FrozenFarce (5:14:15 PM):   unless it's dead?  I imagined it growing, though
SuncaCity (5:14:20 PM): It's growing, yeah.
FrozenFarce (5:14:27 PM):   bend the lamppost a bit
SuncaCity (5:14:32 PM): Well, we can assume they do.
FrozenFarce (5:14:33 PM):   and start shoveling fungus out of my way, RAPIDLY
FrozenFarce (5:14:38 PM):   until I can do the thing I say
FrozenFarce (5:14:45 PM):   open up the fungus and get the guy outta there
SuncaCity (5:14:46 PM): And yeah, as they do, you see that the little fungus tendrils react.
FrozenFarce (5:14:51 PM):   ideally don't physically touch it at all
FrozenFarce (5:14:54 PM):   (go on)
SuncaCity (5:15:11 PM): You're kind of pushing the fungus out of your way...
SuncaCity (5:15:17 PM): Although there's still bits on the ground.
FrozenFarce (5:15:20 PM):   right
SuncaCity (5:15:31 PM): You walk over them to the driver's side door.
FrozenFarce (5:15:42 PM):   [wilson] "Agent Wilson, we have some kind of deadly parasitic fungus that may have caused at least one fatality."
FrozenFarce (5:15:48 PM):   do this all as fast as possible, remember
FrozenFarce (5:15:53 PM):   rip the door off if need be
FrozenFarce (5:16:00 PM):   and yeah if I do get the guy out...
SuncaCity (5:16:02 PM): It's already open, but yeah.
FrozenFarce (5:16:03 PM):   just toss him on the ground somewhere safe
SuncaCity (5:16:08 PM): Grab him by the arm?
FrozenFarce (5:16:09 PM):   I don't care if he breaks a bone or something, I really don't
FrozenFarce (5:16:14 PM):   well, after I cleave the fungus open
FrozenFarce (5:16:24 PM):   I don't wanna DELIBERATELY break his shoulder or something haha
FrozenFarce (5:16:28 PM):   but if it's the only way, whatever
SuncaCity (5:16:29 PM): Hah.
SuncaCity (5:16:47 PM): Alright, you try to use the lamppost to cleave the fungus...
SuncaCity (5:17:01 PM): But because of the limited space in the interior of the car and the bluntness of the post...
SuncaCity (5:17:03 PM): It doesn't do much.
FrozenFarce (5:17:05 PM):   obviously, judge where the dude is so I don't just murder him
FrozenFarce (5:17:07 PM):   hmm
FrozenFarce (5:17:10 PM):   squash the post
FrozenFarce (5:17:15 PM):   and flatten it
FrozenFarce (5:17:29 PM):   or unbend it a bit
FrozenFarce (5:17:33 PM):   I think you know what I"m trying to do here heh
SuncaCity (5:17:35 PM): The end of the post has a fair bit of fungus on it.
FrozenFarce (5:17:36 PM):   just make it workable for the work area
SuncaCity (5:17:50 PM): And it's already growing a bit.
FrozenFarce (5:17:55 PM):   jesus
SuncaCity (5:17:56 PM): You still want to work on it?
FrozenFarce (5:18:00 PM):   hmm
FrozenFarce (5:18:11 PM):   if it's growing slowly, sure, just don't touch the fungus
FrozenFarce (5:18:17 PM):   ideally, multitask working on the post
SuncaCity (5:18:20 PM): You do so.
FrozenFarce (5:18:21 PM):   with squishing/killing the fungus that's there
FrozenFarce (5:18:29 PM):   "Wilson, you may want to deploy Jupiter."
SuncaCity (5:18:36 PM): And flatten the post.
FrozenFarce (5:18:38 PM):   "This fungus is very stubborn."
SuncaCity (5:18:43 PM): And try to squish the fungus...
FrozenFarce (5:18:55 PM):   Use my own Taser on the body of fungus as I go for round two, yank the guy out and gtfo there
FrozenFarce (5:19:02 PM):   hopefully that works
SuncaCity (5:19:05 PM): But instead just get some on your finger.
SuncaCity (5:19:09 PM): *fingers
FrozenFarce (5:19:14 PM):   oh not with my hand dude
SuncaCity (5:19:15 PM): It's not really squisable.
FrozenFarce (5:19:16 PM):   I meant
SuncaCity (5:19:17 PM): Oh.
FrozenFarce (5:19:19 PM):   between the ground and the post
SuncaCity (5:19:23 PM): Oh okay.
SuncaCity (5:19:23 PM): Hah.
FrozenFarce (5:19:24 PM):   I mean, probably harmless in small doses
FrozenFarce (5:19:28 PM):   but way less suicidal
FrozenFarce (5:19:34 PM):   I get you though
SuncaCity (5:19:35 PM): Alright, you do that.
FrozenFarce (5:19:36 PM):   it just oozes
FrozenFarce (5:19:39 PM):   basically
FrozenFarce (5:19:40 PM):   /I assume
FrozenFarce (5:19:46 PM):   maybe gets a bunch off the post istelf
SuncaCity (5:20:03 PM): Yeah, you get a lot off.
FrozenFarce (5:20:32 PM):   cool
SuncaCity (5:20:32 PM): Rotor: "I got a can of gasoline."
FrozenFarce (5:20:38 PM):   "Perfect."
SuncaCity (5:20:41 PM): "Heading back with it now."
FrozenFarce (5:20:46 PM):   "Any straggling amounts of fungus, kill them."
FrozenFarce (5:20:51 PM):   "On the roofs, the streets, anywhere."
FrozenFarce (5:20:55 PM):   "i'm going to see if I can save this man."
FrozenFarce (5:20:57 PM):   so yeah
FrozenFarce (5:20:59 PM):   tase
SuncaCity (5:20:58 PM): You grab the man's arm...
FrozenFarce (5:20:59 PM):   cleave
FrozenFarce (5:21:00 PM):   yank
SuncaCity (5:21:02 PM): Oh, right.
SuncaCity (5:21:05 PM): Tase first.
SuncaCity (5:21:16 PM): Yeah, you tase, which sends both the man and the fungus into a fit again.
FrozenFarce (5:21:25 PM):   better in a fit than dead
SuncaCity (5:21:36 PM): Cleave through much of the fungus...
SuncaCity (5:21:46 PM): And then immediately grab his arm and yank him out.
SuncaCity (5:22:03 PM): throwing him onto the sidewalk.
SuncaCity (5:22:10 PM): As lightly as you can.
FrozenFarce (5:22:14 PM):   kay jump outta funguCity
FrozenFarce (5:22:15 PM):   haha
SuncaCity (5:22:16 PM): Under the circumstances
FrozenFarce (5:22:19 PM):   right
SuncaCity (5:22:24 PM): You do so.
FrozenFarce (5:22:27 PM):   urgency over safety but don't want him to turn into a pancake
FrozenFarce (5:22:32 PM):   so is he unconscious?
SuncaCity (5:22:33 PM): "Your feet!"
FrozenFarce (5:22:37 PM):   or did he look all shocked and shit
FrozenFarce (5:22:39 PM):   oh damn
SuncaCity (5:22:40 PM): One of the cops is pointing at you.
FrozenFarce (5:22:51 PM):   use my lamppost
FrozenFarce (5:22:55 PM):   a fungus-free part
FrozenFarce (5:22:57 PM):   to scrape it off
SuncaCity (5:23:15 PM): You do so, sending it into the larger fungus mass.
FrozenFarce (5:23:25 PM):   drop the lamppost near whatever fungus is closest
FrozenFarce (5:23:28 PM):   car, the other road-fungi
FrozenFarce (5:23:28 PM):   whatevs
FrozenFarce (5:23:36 PM):   so, the guy I yanked out
FrozenFarce (5:23:42 PM):   KO'd?  awake but dazed?  what?
SuncaCity (5:23:43 PM): Oh shit.
FrozenFarce (5:23:46 PM):   what'd he look like
SuncaCity (5:23:46 PM): Forgot about Wilson.
SuncaCity (5:23:48 PM): Anyway.
FrozenFarce (5:23:52 PM):   hahahaha, and wilson, yup
FrozenFarce (5:23:55 PM):   sall good tho
SuncaCity (5:24:14 PM): The guy looks like nothing you've ever seen.
FrozenFarce (5:24:30 PM):   [wilson] "Never mind on Jupiter, Agent Wilson, but OFSPEC is absolutely needed."
SuncaCity (5:24:30 PM): Fungus is coming from his mouth, his ears, his lower regions.
FrozenFarce (5:24:36 PM):   go on
SuncaCity (5:24:40 PM): Basically every body cavity he has.
SuncaCity (5:24:48 PM): Is just pouring out fungus.
FrozenFarce (5:24:50 PM):   "My god."
FrozenFarce (5:25:06 PM):   is he alive, even?
SuncaCity (5:25:08 PM): Wilson: "They're already en route."
FrozenFarce (5:25:11 PM):   or does he just look like a host body at this point?
SuncaCity (5:25:23 PM): You see shallow movement of his chest.
SuncaCity (5:25:33 PM): You also see, now that much of the fungus has cleared...
FrozenFarce (5:25:38 PM):   if he looks conscious, that actually matters a bit
SuncaCity (5:25:44 PM): A laceration and some bruises along his forhead.
SuncaCity (5:25:59 PM): He doesn't look concious, but he does look alive.
FrozenFarce (5:26:25 PM):   damn, was hoping he was awake and knocking him out might do something
FrozenFarce (5:26:29 PM):   [to Taser Cop]
FrozenFarce (5:26:35 PM):   "Did he seem aware of what he was doing when this began?"
SuncaCity (5:26:58 PM): "By the time we got here, he was already under all... that"
SuncaCity (5:27:03 PM): He says, looking at the fungus.
FrozenFarce (5:27:17 PM):   note to self
FrozenFarce (5:27:16 PM):   nod
FrozenFarce (5:27:17 PM):   wristmounted flamethrowers
FrozenFarce (5:27:18 PM):   "My God, how can we help this man."
SuncaCity (5:27:20 PM): "When we got here, the people here said he had an accident."
SuncaCity (5:27:28 PM): "Got rear-ended by another car that drove off."
FrozenFarce (5:27:33 PM):   [rotor] "ROTOR!  How are our stragglers doing?"
FrozenFarce (5:27:40 PM):   oh shit
SuncaCity (5:27:45 PM): You hear Rotor flying overhead.
FrozenFarce (5:27:58 PM):   "Hmm.  Could it have been involved?"
SuncaCity (5:28:05 PM): "I'm going to dump some gas on the fungus patches I can find."
FrozenFarce (5:28:06 PM):   "A hit and run... it's difficult to believe that can be coincidence."
FrozenFarce (5:28:12 PM):   "New plan."
FrozenFarce (5:28:13 PM):   [to officer]
SuncaCity (5:28:13 PM): "Hopefully that should kill them."
FrozenFarce (5:28:18 PM):   "Describe the vehicle as quickly as possible."
FrozenFarce (5:28:34 PM):   "Have your men continue to control the fungus with your tasers."
FrozenFarce (5:28:41 PM):   "OFSPEC is on the way."
SuncaCity (5:28:53 PM): "It was a red Porsche SUV."
FrozenFarce (5:29:00 PM):   "Which way did it go?"
FrozenFarce (5:29:09 PM):   "Hurry!"
SuncaCity (5:29:24 PM): "It went North on the Beltway."
SuncaCity (5:29:27 PM): He points.
FrozenFarce (5:29:33 PM):   nod
FrozenFarce (5:29:38 PM):   JUMP UP TO A ROOF IMMEDIATELY
FrozenFarce (5:29:40 PM):   "ROTOR!"
FrozenFarce (5:29:49 PM):   "Red porsche!  SUV!  North on the Beltway!"
FrozenFarce (5:29:55 PM):   "THrow me the can and FIND THAT VEHICLE."
SuncaCity (5:29:58 PM): You do so, see Rotor pouring gas on a nearby roof.
FrozenFarce (5:30:03 PM):   right
FrozenFarce (5:30:05 PM):   jump over to him
SuncaCity (5:30:13 PM): He drops it to you.
FrozenFarce (5:30:14 PM):   "I'll take care of this.  Find that car!"
SuncaCity (5:30:19 PM): And flies off in that direction.
FrozenFarce (5:30:21 PM):   catch the can and lighter, then, heh
FrozenFarce (5:30:22 PM):   sweet
FrozenFarce (5:30:26 PM):   so yeah
FrozenFarce (5:30:30 PM):   kill all fungus not connected to the man
FrozenFarce (5:30:33 PM):   as fast as possible
FrozenFarce (5:30:37 PM):   jesus Rotor is already SO USEFUL
SuncaCity (5:31:13 PM): Wilson: "There's another possibility."
SuncaCity (5:31:34 PM): "It could be that somebody is trying to kill him with this power, but we have no record of it in our database."
SuncaCity (5:31:50 PM): "Could he be the source of the fungus?"
FrozenFarce (5:32:01 PM):   "It is possible."
FrozenFarce (5:32:10 PM):   "It was my first assumption."
FrozenFarce (5:32:15 PM):   "But I can't take any chances."
FrozenFarce (5:32:21 PM):   "I won't let another murderer get away."
FrozenFarce (5:32:28 PM):   that was an intentional slip, by the way
FrozenFarce (5:32:33 PM):   seems in character, though
SuncaCity (5:32:33 PM): "Is he concious?"
FrozenFarce (5:32:40 PM):   "Not as far as I could tell."
FrozenFarce (5:32:50 PM):   kill all the fungus as fast as possible
FrozenFarce (5:32:55 PM):   then get back to the guy once I'm "caught up"
FrozenFarce (5:33:02 PM):   guy being FunGuy
FrozenFarce (5:33:04 PM):   (I'm so sorry)
SuncaCity (5:33:09 PM): You start setting it ablaze with the gas and the lighter Rotor left.
SuncaCity (5:33:13 PM): Sorry, he had a lighter too.
FrozenFarce (5:33:16 PM):   right
SuncaCity (5:33:58 PM): "If this is somebody else's power, then there's nothing we can do other than find them and stop them."
SuncaCity (5:34:14 PM): "But if it's his, he might be able to control it, if he's awake."
SuncaCity (5:34:20 PM): "Or if worst comes to worst..."
FrozenFarce (5:34:26 PM):   "Understood."
FrozenFarce (5:34:42 PM):   "How long until OFSPEC can get here?"
FrozenFarce (5:34:44 PM):   after I'm done killing the fungus
FrozenFarce (5:34:47 PM):   hustle over to the man
FrozenFarce (5:34:49 PM):   "SIR!"
FrozenFarce (5:34:58 PM):   "CAN YOU HEAR ME?  PLEASE, TRY TO RESPOND.  EVEN WITH MERELY A NOD."
SuncaCity (5:35:19 PM): "OFSPEC is still a minute out."
FrozenFarce (5:35:24 PM):   kind of shovel/scrape fungus off to the side
FrozenFarce (5:35:30 PM):   "Wilson..."
FrozenFarce (5:35:36 PM):   "If I can't stop him.  Will they kill this man?"
FrozenFarce (5:35:41 PM):   -- and yeah keep burning it
SuncaCity (5:35:43 PM): An ambulance and more cop cars have arrived.
FrozenFarce (5:35:45 PM):   just in a controlled fire off to the side
SuncaCity (5:35:55 PM): The man doesn't respond at all.
FrozenFarce (5:35:59 PM):   hmm
FrozenFarce (5:36:02 PM):   I still have a first aid kid
FrozenFarce (5:36:05 PM):   try some smelling salts
SuncaCity (5:36:49 PM): Paramedics area already hurrying out...
FrozenFarce (5:36:55 PM):   to the medics
SuncaCity (5:36:55 PM): But they're stopping short, not sure what to do.
FrozenFarce (5:36:58 PM):   "I need to wake this man up!"
SuncaCity (5:37:01 PM): As the pool of fungus around the man grows.
FrozenFarce (5:37:03 PM):   "He doesn't have long, and neither do we!"
FrozenFarce (5:37:09 PM):   remember, I'm scraping it all off to a kind of
FrozenFarce (5:37:12 PM):   controlled fire at the side
SuncaCity (5:37:24 PM): One of the paramedics runs back...
FrozenFarce (5:37:29 PM):   feeding the fungus into it like kindling
SuncaCity (5:37:31 PM): Into the ambulance.
FrozenFarce (5:37:43 PM):   "SIR!  I WILL NOT FAIL YOU."
FrozenFarce (5:37:43 PM):   "WAKE UP!  COME TO ME!"
FrozenFarce (5:37:44 PM):   "COME TO MY VOICE!"
SuncaCity (5:37:59 PM): The fire kind of sputters, with mini-explosions that release flaming spores.
SuncaCity (5:38:05 PM): But they don't go too far.
FrozenFarce (5:38:10 PM):   no response to smelling salts, I assume
SuncaCity (5:38:11 PM): Before flaming out.
SuncaCity (5:38:22 PM): Oh, no.
FrozenFarce (5:38:27 PM):   right
SuncaCity (5:38:29 PM): Well, his nose is pretty much totally clogged.
SuncaCity (5:38:31 PM): For one thing.
FrozenFarce (5:38:32 PM):   haha, awesome
SuncaCity (5:38:34 PM): With fungus.
FrozenFarce (5:38:36 PM):   not even a little eh?  Alright.  I'll wait on the
FrozenFarce (5:38:38 PM):   oh right
FrozenFarce (5:38:39 PM):   LOL
SuncaCity (5:38:58 PM): A paramedic runs up to you.
FrozenFarce (5:39:01 PM):   "will they kill this man"
FrozenFarce (5:39:00 PM):   and yeah, is Wilson... did he say anything in reply?  It was an important question
FrozenFarce (5:39:05 PM):   because this is totally a mind control level threat unless they can neutralize him
SuncaCity (5:39:19 PM): "I can't say."
SuncaCity (5:39:33 PM): Sorry, that's wilson.
SuncaCity (5:39:46 PM): "The course taken will be up to the unit leader."
FrozenFarce (5:39:49 PM):   does he at least sound... penitent?
FrozenFarce (5:39:49 PM):   regretful?
SuncaCity (5:40:02 PM): He sounds pretty stoic about it.
FrozenFarce (5:40:03 PM):   ah
SuncaCity (5:40:21 PM): Anyway, paramedic is holding out a syringe.
FrozenFarce (5:40:24 PM):   [darkly] "I understand."
FrozenFarce (5:40:23 PM):   right
FrozenFarce (5:40:25 PM):   so, the medic
FrozenFarce (5:40:34 PM):   (test)
FrozenFarce (5:40:37 PM):   "I'll have to try to ensure their services aren't required, then."
SuncaCity (5:40:37 PM): "Epinephrine.  Adrenaline."
FrozenFarce (5:40:38 PM):   adrenaline, I assume
FrozenFarce (5:40:39 PM):   take it
FrozenFarce (5:40:42 PM):   nod
FrozenFarce (5:40:44 PM):   give it to the guy
FrozenFarce (5:40:45 PM):   no hesitation
FrozenFarce (5:40:48 PM):   nothing to lose here
FrozenFarce (5:40:47 PM):   right
SuncaCity (5:40:47 PM): "If that doesn't wake him up, I don't know what will."
SuncaCity (5:40:57 PM): You stick it in, and inject him.
FrozenFarce (5:41:05 PM):   "SIR!"
FrozenFarce (5:41:11 PM):   "COME TO MY VOICE!"
FrozenFarce (5:41:19 PM):   "LISTEN TO MY VOICE.  I AM HERE FOR YOU."
SuncaCity (5:41:37 PM): After about ten seconds...
SuncaCity (5:41:41 PM): He jolts upright.
SuncaCity (5:41:51 PM): And begins clawing at his face.
FrozenFarce (5:41:51 PM):   don't stand too close heh
FrozenFarce (5:41:54 PM):   keep killin dat fungus
FrozenFarce (5:42:01 PM):   [bellow this loudly and penetratingly]
FrozenFarce (5:42:04 PM):   "SIR!!!!!"
SuncaCity (5:42:05 PM): The fungus covered bits, mostly.
FrozenFarce (5:42:09 PM):   "I know you are frightened."
FrozenFarce (5:42:17 PM):   "But PLEASE be calm, or I can promise that you WILL DIE."
FrozenFarce (5:42:27 PM):   "Whatever is happening to you, you are in control of that."
FrozenFarce (5:42:29 PM):   "Hear these words."
SuncaCity (5:42:28 PM): He starts thrashing around a bit...
FrozenFarce (5:42:32 PM):   "Believe them.  And BREATHE."
SuncaCity (5:42:37 PM): And the fungus starts growing faster.
SuncaCity (5:42:53 PM): "SHIT!"
FrozenFarce (5:42:53 PM):   "Whatever is happening to you is being worsened by your fear and your panic."
SuncaCity (5:43:00 PM): One of the cops calls out, and levels his gun at the man.
FrozenFarce (5:43:02 PM):   "I beg of you!  CALM YOURSELF."
FrozenFarce (5:43:05 PM):   "DON'T!"
FrozenFarce (5:43:07 PM):   put a hand out
FrozenFarce (5:43:11 PM):   keep burning the fungus
SuncaCity (5:43:23 PM): One of the medics runs back into the ambulance.
FrozenFarce (5:43:39 PM):   heh, same guy who administered the adrenaline shot I bet
SuncaCity (5:43:42 PM): Same medic as before.
SuncaCity (5:43:43 PM): Yeah.
FrozenFarce (5:43:47 PM):   that guy's good shit
FrozenFarce (5:44:11 PM):   "Please try to calm yourself.  LISTEN!!!!"
FrozenFarce (5:44:20 PM):   "I gave you an adrenaline shot to wake you up so you could CONTROL THIS THING."
FrozenFarce (5:44:29 PM):   "YOU have the power to control what is happening to you.  YOU AND NO ONE ELSE."
FrozenFarce (5:44:45 PM):   "Understand that!  Reach within yourself and find out HOW, but you ARE controlling this!"
SuncaCity (5:44:54 PM): And comes out with another syringe.
FrozenFarce (5:45:03 PM):   "The adrenaline shot, your fear, it's all made this worse!"
FrozenFarce (5:45:04 PM):   "But you CAN defeat this!  I will not fail you!"
SuncaCity (5:45:16 PM): He stops thrashing.
FrozenFarce (5:45:24 PM):   [to medic]
FrozenFarce (5:45:27 PM):   "That is?"
SuncaCity (5:45:26 PM): And lays, there, turns toward you.
SuncaCity (5:45:33 PM): Actually, two syringes.
FrozenFarce (5:45:35 PM):   (quietly, don't really want the guy to hear heh)
FrozenFarce (5:45:37 PM):   ah
SuncaCity (5:45:41 PM): "One's a seadative.
SuncaCity (5:45:44 PM): He holds one out.
SuncaCity (5:45:49 PM): "This is a muscle relaxant."
FrozenFarce (5:45:58 PM):   did the fungus slow down
FrozenFarce (5:46:00 PM):   when the guy calmed ?
FrozenFarce (5:46:05 PM):   even if not much?
SuncaCity (5:46:04 PM): "The sedative might help, but with the adrenaline..."
FrozenFarce (5:46:06 PM):   since, adrenaline and all
FrozenFarce (5:46:11 PM):   "It could kill him."
FrozenFarce (5:46:13 PM):   "I understand."
SuncaCity (5:46:18 PM): Yeah, it slowed down.
SuncaCity (5:46:26 PM): Relative to how it was when he was agitated.
FrozenFarce (5:46:26 PM):   Give him the muscle relaxant immediately
FrozenFarce (5:46:30 PM):   "I'm giving you a muscle relaxant."
FrozenFarce (5:46:39 PM):   "I promise it should help."
SuncaCity (5:46:44 PM): You put it in.
FrozenFarce (5:46:45 PM):   "All I am here to do is help you."
SuncaCity (5:47:04 PM): And after an intitial bit of fear, and fungus growth spurt...
SuncaCity (5:47:09 PM): He relaxes again.
FrozenFarce (5:47:14 PM):   and???????
SuncaCity (5:47:29 PM): The fungus seems to have stopped.
FrozenFarce (5:47:32 PM):   "This fungus is behaving in direct correlation to your emotions."
FrozenFarce (5:47:35 PM):   "You can make it stop."
FrozenFarce (5:47:42 PM):   "YOU have the power."
FrozenFarce (5:47:41 PM):   "It's already stopped growing."
FrozenFarce (5:47:48 PM):   "FORCE it from your body, and DO NOT grow any more."
FrozenFarce (5:47:56 PM):   "This is YOUR ability, it does NOT disable YOU!"
SuncaCity (5:48:07 PM): He nods.
SuncaCity (5:48:31 PM): And slowly you see the fungus start to turn brown.
FrozenFarce (5:48:36 PM):   I just realized Wilson and Rotor both heard me talking this guy down like a fucking boss
FrozenFarce (5:48:45 PM):   I'm sincerely proud of it
SuncaCity (5:48:53 PM): And begin to disconnect from his orifices.
FrozenFarce (5:48:58 PM):   yessssssss
SuncaCity (5:48:58 PM): And slide off.
FrozenFarce (5:49:08 PM):   scrape it alllll in the fire
SuncaCity (5:49:10 PM): Revealing his face.
SuncaCity (5:49:21 PM): You do, but even as you do it seems to be dying.
FrozenFarce (5:49:25 PM):   awesome
SuncaCity (5:49:26 PM): Much more rapidly than it should.
FrozenFarce (5:49:28 PM):   so fucking awesome
FrozenFarce (5:49:32 PM):   god I am loving every second of this
SuncaCity (5:49:45 PM): The man is just lying on the sidewalk, panting.
FrozenFarce (5:49:48 PM):   I was really determined to be a superhero there, and not just a threat minimizer
SuncaCity (5:49:55 PM): And crying.
FrozenFarce (5:50:02 PM):   crouch beside him
FrozenFarce (5:50:06 PM):   put my hand on his shoulder
FrozenFarce (5:50:09 PM):   "What is your name?"
SuncaCity (5:50:20 PM): He shakes his head.
SuncaCity (5:50:32 PM): Then seems to collect himself a bit.
SuncaCity (5:50:40 PM): "I'm -"
SuncaCity (5:50:54 PM): He spasms, coughs.
SuncaCity (5:51:01 PM): Some dead fungus flies out of his mouth.
SuncaCity (5:51:10 PM): And lands on the sidewalk.
FrozenFarce (5:51:23 PM):   I'm sincerely considering recruiting this guy
SuncaCity (5:51:25 PM): He coughs some more.
FrozenFarce (5:51:29 PM):   yeesh
SuncaCity (5:51:36 PM): Then stops.
SuncaCity (5:51:44 PM): "I'm Clyde."
SuncaCity (5:51:49 PM): His voice is super raspy.
FrozenFarce (5:51:52 PM):   "Clyde."
FrozenFarce (5:52:02 PM):   "Save your strength, I don't expect you to speak much after something that harrowing."
FrozenFarce (5:52:11 PM):   "I do not know if you know of me, but I am the Keeper."
SuncaCity (5:52:22 PM): He nods very slightly.
SuncaCity (5:52:30 PM): He can't seem to move too much.
FrozenFarce (5:52:34 PM):   right
FrozenFarce (5:52:37 PM):   "I only want you to know that you were incredibly brave."
FrozenFarce (5:52:44 PM):   "You may have saved lives with your strength."
FrozenFarce (5:52:46 PM):   snap to the paramedics
FrozenFarce (5:52:50 PM):   "Help this man!"
FrozenFarce (5:53:06 PM):   Give kind of a
FrozenFarce (5:53:06 PM):   super super super ginger squeeze, like the kind I'd give a toddler
FrozenFarce (5:53:08 PM):   given his state
FrozenFarce (5:53:12 PM):   then take my hand off his shoulder and stand
SuncaCity (5:53:19 PM): "Thanks."
FrozenFarce (5:53:38 PM):   "I want you to know that saving your life meant absolutely everything to me today, Clyde, and it fills me with triumph to know that you're alright."
SuncaCity (5:53:50 PM): Rotor is down the street...
SuncaCity (5:54:03 PM): Pouring gasoline on the bit of fungus that was down there.
FrozenFarce (5:54:08 PM):   "I understand that what you've been through is.... terrifying.  Unspeakable.  I can only imagine the fear you felt.  But I promise you the worst of your ordeal is over."
SuncaCity (5:54:32 PM): He nods slightly again.
FrozenFarce (5:54:33 PM):   you know what, I'm loving this situation
SuncaCity (5:54:39 PM): And closes his eyes.
FrozenFarce (5:54:41 PM):   let's just pause so we don't have to abbreviate it too much
FrozenFarce (5:54:44 PM):   since I'll be on break in a couple hours anyway
FrozenFarce (5:54:48 PM):   but first
FrozenFarce (5:54:53 PM):   exhale a sigh of relief
SuncaCity (5:54:52 PM): Hah, I've gotta go to class, unfortuantely.
FrozenFarce (5:55:02 PM):   "Cancel the OFSPEC team, Agent Wilson."
FrozenFarce (5:55:11 PM):   "Everyone is fine."
SuncaCity (5:55:21 PM): "I heard."
SuncaCity (5:56:00 PM): "They're still coming in to clean up the mess."
SuncaCity (5:56:13 PM): "I had them hold off while you calmed him down."
FrozenFarce (5:56:37 PM):   pause
FrozenFarce (5:56:41 PM):   "I appreciate it."
SuncaCity (5:56:44 PM): "They'll take him into custody, but I don't think much else should be necessary."
FrozenFarce (5:57:02 PM):   "Good."
FrozenFarce (5:57:04 PM):   [bluetooth] "End call: Agent Wilson."
FrozenFarce (5:57:10 PM):   [to Clyde]
FrozenFarce (5:57:19 PM):   okay well, let's pause
FrozenFarce (5:57:22 PM):   but real quick
FrozenFarce (5:57:27 PM):   take in the crowd reaction
SuncaCity (5:57:27 PM): Alright.
FrozenFarce (5:57:37 PM):   cops, paramedics, lollygaggers, firemen, pedestrians...
FrozenFarce (5:57:42 PM):   I just made a HELL of a positive scene there
SuncaCity (5:57:50 PM): Well, the crowd is pretty much just police and paramedics.
SuncaCity (5:57:55 PM): With OFSPEC coming down.
FrozenFarce (5:57:55 PM):   even better
FrozenFarce (5:57:59 PM):   they matter the most
FrozenFarce (5:58:02 PM):   trustwise
FrozenFarce (5:58:03 PM):   but yeah
SuncaCity (5:58:09 PM): But even the normal civillian onlookers probbaly cleared off once the spores came out.
FrozenFarce (5:58:10 PM):   describe their reaction to my awesome
SuncaCity (5:58:25 PM): They're still looking on, not sure what to do.
SuncaCity (5:58:38 PM): But they definitely look relieved, and a least a few cops are watching you.
SuncaCity (5:58:44 PM): Looking impressed.
SuncaCity (5:59:06 PM): Oh shit.
SuncaCity (5:59:14 PM): I'm actually going to be late for class.
SuncaCity (5:59:20 PM): I totally lost track of time.
SuncaCity (5:59:25 PM): Christ.
SuncaCity (5:59:31 PM): That was really fun, but yeah.
SuncaCity (5:59:34 PM): Talk to you later.
FrozenFarce signed on at 9:29:16 PM
Tuesday, September 15, 2015
FrozenFarce (12:33:27 AM):  so i'd really love to finish up with Clyde and all that junk
FrozenFarce (12:33:40 AM):  it was a pretty big character moment that we both needed to bail on simultaneously
SuncaCity (12:33:59 AM):    Yeah.
FrozenFarce (12:34:33 AM):  so, I'd just finished calming clyde down
FrozenFarce (12:34:40 AM):  and had kinda stood up/was looking around
FrozenFarce (12:34:47 AM):  take it from there, God
SuncaCity (12:35:38 AM):    Kay.
SuncaCity (12:35:44 AM):    Lemme paste some of the log.
SuncaCity (12:36:17 AM):    FrozenFarce (5:55:02 PM):"Cancel the OFSPEC team, Agent Wilson."
FrozenFarce (5:55:11 PM):"Everyone is fine."
SuncaCity (5:55:21 PM):"I heard."SuncaCity (5:56:00 PM):"They're still coming in to clean up the mess."SuncaCity (5:56:13 PM):"I had them hold off while you calmed him down."FrozenFarce (5:56:37 PM):pause
FrozenFarce (5:56:41 PM):"I appreciate it."
SuncaCity (5:56:44 PM):"They'll take him into custody, but I don't think much else should be necessary."FrozenFarce (5:57:02 PM):"Good."
FrozenFarce (5:57:04 PM):[bluetooth] "End call: Agent Wilson."
SuncaCity (12:36:34 AM):    And then you were going to say something more to Clyde...
SuncaCity (12:36:36 AM):    But didn't.
SuncaCity (12:36:42 AM):    I can go back further if you want.
FrozenFarce (12:36:47 AM):  was I?
FrozenFarce (12:36:54 AM):  I remember basically comforting him
SuncaCity (12:36:57 AM):    FrozenFarce (5:52:50 PM):"Help this man!"
FrozenFarce (5:53:06 PM):Give kind of a
FrozenFarce (5:53:06 PM):super super super ginger squeeze, like the kind I'd give a toddler
FrozenFarce (5:53:08 PM):given his state
FrozenFarce (5:53:12 PM):then take my hand off his shoulder and stand
SuncaCity (5:53:19 PM):"Thanks."FrozenFarce (5:53:38 PM):"I want you to know that saving your life meant absolutely everything to me today, Clyde, and it fills me with triumph to know that you're alright."
SuncaCity (5:53:50 PM):Rotor is down the street...SuncaCity (5:54:03 PM):Pouring gasoline on the bit of fungus that was down there.FrozenFarce (5:54:08 PM):"I understand that what you've been through is.... terrifying.  Unspeakable.  I can only imagine the fear you felt.  But I promise you the worst of your ordeal is over."
SuncaCity (5:54:32 PM):He nods slightly again.FrozenFarce (5:54:33 PM):you know what, I'm loving this situation
SuncaCity (5:54:39 PM):And closes his eyes.
FrozenFarce (12:37:06 AM):  yeah that's pretty much where I'm leaving it for now
FrozenFarce (12:37:21 AM):  I plan to make contact with Clyde again after he's calmed down and all
SuncaCity (12:37:23 AM):    Those two segments are in reverse order.
FrozenFarce (12:37:26 AM):  but he's been through a hell of a lot
SuncaCity (12:37:28 AM):    Yeah.
SuncaCity (12:37:37 AM):    So what did you want to do?
SuncaCity (12:37:45 AM):    Just stick around until OFSPEC carts him off?
FrozenFarce (12:37:53 AM):  I guess
FrozenFarce (12:38:01 AM):  maybe mingle with some cops/Rotor
FrozenFarce (12:38:03 AM):  let people tell me how great I am
SuncaCity (12:38:05 AM):    Ah, alright.
FrozenFarce (12:38:14 AM):  and I sincerely am curious if it's gonna be
FrozenFarce (12:38:20 AM):  Captain Greater Good that shows up
FrozenFarce (12:38:33 AM):  .....and his last name being Goode, for irony's sake, would be kind of amusing
SuncaCity (12:38:48 AM):    Hah, I guess I won't rule it out.
SuncaCity (12:38:55 AM):    But anyway...
SuncaCity (12:39:16 AM):    You back off from Clyde...
SuncaCity (12:39:32 AM):    I guess heading in Rotor's direction as he comes in to land?
SuncaCity (12:39:37 AM):    There's some cops over there too.
FrozenFarce (12:39:55 AM):  yeah
SuncaCity (12:40:24 AM):    The two paramedics approach Clyde and put him on a stretcher.
SuncaCity (12:40:47 AM):    He tries to help as best he can, but seems pretty feeble after the whole ordeal.
FrozenFarce (12:40:51 AM):  Kind of breathe a sigh of relief.
FrozenFarce (12:41:06 AM):  "Rest easy, Clyde.  You'll be taken care of.  I promise."
SuncaCity (12:41:34 AM):    A middle aged cop approaches you.
FrozenFarce (12:41:42 AM):  turn to him
SuncaCity (12:41:47 AM):    He nods in Clyde's direction.
SuncaCity (12:42:04 AM):    "That was pretty damn impressive, what you did."
FrozenFarce (12:42:24 AM):  "Thank you."
FrozenFarce (12:42:31 AM):  "I'm far more impressed by him, though."
FrozenFarce (12:42:33 AM):  gesture to Clyde
SuncaCity (12:42:39 AM):    "I think I'm pretty good at talking people down, but I have to admit I didn't really have any idea what to do in a situation like this."
FrozenFarce (12:42:48 AM):  "I can only imagine the fear he must have felt.  I don't know if I could have overcome it myself."
SuncaCity (12:43:08 AM):    "Yeah, that's true."
SuncaCity (12:43:26 AM):    "Don't think many people could have calmed themselves down in a situation like that."
SuncaCity (12:43:42 AM):    Rotor has landed and is standing nearby.
SuncaCity (12:43:47 AM):    Just looking around, mostly.
SuncaCity (12:44:08 AM):    "You're the Keeper, yeah?"
FrozenFarce (12:44:16 AM):  [the cop?]
SuncaCity (12:44:19 AM):    Yeah, heh.
FrozenFarce (12:44:21 AM):  "That's correct."
SuncaCity (12:45:05 AM):    "Alright.  Glad to see you know how to handle this kind of shit."
SuncaCity (12:45:33 AM):    "i've been doing this for twenty years, and I've seen a lot of people like you who have the power..."
SuncaCity (12:45:52 AM):    "But not enough sense to use it properly."
SuncaCity (12:46:36 AM):    The OFSPEC... helicopter?
FrozenFarce (12:46:43 AM):  probably?
SuncaCity (12:46:44 AM):    I forget if I gave them something more exotic.
FrozenFarce (12:46:54 AM):  you might've, hah
FrozenFarce (12:46:58 AM):  anyway
SuncaCity (12:47:00 AM):    But whatever, for now let's just say helicopter.
FrozenFarce (12:47:06 AM):  "At times I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard."
SuncaCity (12:47:09 AM):    It arrives overhead, and begins descending.
FrozenFarce (12:47:26 AM):  "I was lucky.  I ... 'awoke' in my own bed.  Had I been out in public, I shudder to think what may have happened."
FrozenFarce (12:47:57 AM):  "I suppose I knew how to talk to Clyde because I've often pictured the fear and panic of it in less ideal circumstances."
SuncaCity (12:48:26 AM):    "Well, glad you figured it out, because I sure as hell didn't know what to do."
FrozenFarce (12:48:49 AM):  nod respectfully
SuncaCity (12:48:56 AM):    "Hope you keep at it.  I should go deal with them now."
SuncaCity (12:49:05 AM):    He looks in the direction of the helicopter.
FrozenFarce (12:49:10 AM):  "I will do this as long as I have breath."
FrozenFarce (12:49:14 AM):  Pause
FrozenFarce (12:49:28 AM):  "Make sure they're kind to him, yes?"
FrozenFarce (12:49:39 AM):  "At times they seem to treat these people like a.... commodity."
SuncaCity (12:50:15 AM):    "I'll keep an eye on him."
SuncaCity (12:51:09 AM):    "Nothing I can do if they decide he's dangerous, but I don't think that will happen."
SuncaCity (12:51:13 AM):    "I hope not, anyway."
FrozenFarce (12:51:25 AM):  "He's already shown incredible control."
SuncaCity (12:51:34 AM):    "You don't have to convince me."
FrozenFarce (12:51:54 AM):  "Right.  I apologize.  The man's been through such a nightmare already.  I only hope it doesn't have to be worse."
FrozenFarce (12:52:01 AM):  [to rotor]
SuncaCity (12:51:59 AM):    The helicopter is pretty much at the ground now.
SuncaCity (12:52:02 AM):    "Alright."
FrozenFarce (12:52:02 AM):  "Any luck with that vehicle?"
SuncaCity (12:52:12 AM):    The officer heads off towards the chopper.
SuncaCity (12:52:26 AM):    What vehicle are you talking about?
FrozenFarce (12:53:03 AM):  the hit and runner
FrozenFarce (12:53:08 AM):  that I sent Rotor after
FrozenFarce (12:53:10 AM):  while I was burning the spores
FrozenFarce (12:53:19 AM):  back when I thought they might've been a perpetrator
FrozenFarce (12:53:21 AM):  /controlling the spores
SuncaCity (12:54:22 AM):    "I didn't find them, and I gave up after I knew they hadn't caused it."
SuncaCity (12:54:39 AM):    "There's cameras on the lights, though."
SuncaCity (12:54:50 AM):    He points to the cameras mounted on the traffic lights.
SuncaCity (12:55:13 AM):    "I expect they'll be found."
FrozenFarce (12:55:36 AM):  nod
FrozenFarce (12:55:46 AM):  "You made the right call."
SuncaCity (12:55:48 AM):    Hah, got Rotor's voice a bit wrong.
FrozenFarce (12:55:52 AM):  haha
FrozenFarce (12:55:56 AM):  yeah he's a little rigid
SuncaCity (12:55:56 AM):    But whatever.
SuncaCity (12:56:42 AM):    "Yeah."
FrozenFarce (12:58:21 AM):  "I'm glad this worked out the way it did."
FrozenFarce (12:58:26 AM):  glance over at the chopper
FrozenFarce (12:58:32 AM):  see if the field commander is somebody I recognize
FrozenFarce (12:58:36 AM):  from past escapades
SuncaCity (12:59:24 AM):    "For sure."
SuncaCity (12:59:27 AM):    "Sun is coming up."
SuncaCity (12:59:36 AM):    "Been a long night."
SuncaCity (1:00:40 AM): OFSPEC agents have come out, and are taking Clyde off the gurney...
SuncaCity (1:00:46 AM): And putting him onto one they've brought out.
SuncaCity (1:01:23 AM): And into a pocket.
SuncaCity (1:01:31 AM): Wheeling him into a pocket dimension.
SuncaCity (1:01:42 AM): Don't forget if I had a simpler name for those things.
FrozenFarce (1:01:47 AM):   "You can head home if you want to."
FrozenFarce (1:01:55 AM):   "I think I'll stay out a bit."
FrozenFarce (1:02:00 AM):   do I recognize the field commander?
SuncaCity (1:03:02 AM): Hah, OFSPEC wear full body armor, including the head.
SuncaCity (1:03:03 AM): So no.
SuncaCity (1:03:13 AM): You'd only be able to recognize him by his voice, probably.
FrozenFarce (1:03:21 AM):   oh
FrozenFarce (1:03:26 AM):   ....well
FrozenFarce (1:03:33 AM):   does the commander have a familiar build?
FrozenFarce (1:03:39 AM):   i figure there's not too many of these guys
FrozenFarce (1:03:43 AM):   walk over to them
SuncaCity (1:04:12 AM): You walk over, and a couple of OFSPEC agents turn to face your direction.
SuncaCity (1:04:23 AM): The guy who you noticed as the captain isn't one of them.
FrozenFarce (1:05:28 AM):   isn't one of the people that faces me?
FrozenFarce (1:05:31 AM):   hah
FrozenFarce (1:05:32 AM):   "Hello."
SuncaCity (1:06:13 AM): "Hi.  Nice job."
SuncaCity (1:06:38 AM): One of the OFSPEC officers says that to you, but is still standing pretty much in front of you.
SuncaCity (1:06:54 AM): Blocking you off from Clyde being boarded on to the helicopter.
SuncaCity (1:07:29 AM): You can sense somebody has come up behind you.
SuncaCity (1:07:42 AM): Not sneaky or anything.
FrozenFarce (1:07:45 AM):   right
SuncaCity (1:08:23 AM): Well, I realized the previous sentence made it sound kind of foreboding.
SuncaCity (1:08:39 AM): OFSPEC guys aren't saying anything more.
SuncaCity (1:09:06 AM): Just kind of watching you
SuncaCity (1:10:12 AM): Alright, guess you're AFK or something.
FrozenFarce (1:10:15 AM):   oh no I'm not
FrozenFarce (1:10:23 AM):   was waiting for whoever's behind me to say somethin
FrozenFarce (1:10:24 AM):   okay so
FrozenFarce (1:10:29 AM):   "I have information that may be pertinent."
FrozenFarce (1:10:49 AM):   "As far as I could tell, it seems that this was his... awakening.  He was startled by a car accident where he was hit and run."
FrozenFarce (1:11:16 AM):   "Started this whole mess.  After giving him an adrenaline shot and a muscle relaxant, I was able to talk him down.  He seems to have control of his ability, as he was able to kill the fungi and spores."
FrozenFarce (1:11:31 AM):   wait to see if the captain acknowledges me at all
SuncaCity (1:11:36 AM): "Alright."
SuncaCity (1:12:30 AM): "We're going to have our people interview the cops and the paramedics, but I'll pass your info along too.
SuncaCity (1:12:31 AM): "
SuncaCity (1:13:15 AM): "Who's your friend?"
SuncaCity (1:13:36 AM): He gestures with his weapon (but not actually pointing it at anyone) over your shoulder.
FrozenFarce (1:14:08 AM):   is this captain someone I've worked with in the past?
FrozenFarce (1:14:30 AM):   "That is Rotor.  You could say he's my partner, I suppose.  He's been helping me out tonight, and doing a damn fine job of it."
SuncaCity (1:14:34 AM): You're not talking to the OFSPEC commander.
FrozenFarce (1:14:37 AM):   I'm guessing it was Rotor
FrozenFarce (1:14:39 AM):   oh
FrozenFarce (1:14:42 AM):   just an agent?
SuncaCity (1:14:43 AM): Yeah.
SuncaCity (1:14:48 AM): You don't recognize him.
FrozenFarce (1:14:58 AM):   right
FrozenFarce (1:15:10 AM):   so the commander's just kinda ignoring me?
SuncaCity (1:15:26 AM): Yeah, he's done getting Clyde into the helicopter...
SuncaCity (1:15:38 AM): And is now overseeing collection of some samples of the fungus.
FrozenFarce (1:15:41 AM):   also heh, confirm that it's actually rotor over my shoulder before I say that other stuff
SuncaCity (1:15:47 AM): Hah, alright.
SuncaCity (1:15:50 AM): Yeah, it's Rotor.
FrozenFarce (1:15:54 AM):   cool
FrozenFarce (1:16:06 AM):   walk over to the captain
SuncaCity (1:16:05 AM): The OFSPEC agent turns to Rotor
SuncaCity (1:16:11 AM): Wait, which captain?
FrozenFarce (1:16:12 AM):   (you can finish this part first)
FrozenFarce (1:16:17 AM):   OFSPEC
FrozenFarce (1:16:17 AM):   heh
SuncaCity (1:16:39 AM): Well, the OFSPEC guys are kind of blocking your path.
SuncaCity (1:16:43 AM): So, around?
FrozenFarce (1:17:10 AM):   yeah walk around em I guess
SuncaCity (1:17:53 AM): The guy you were talking to holds up his arm.
SuncaCity (1:18:06 AM): "Please stay back."
SuncaCity (1:18:29 AM): "You've done great, but we'll take it from here."
SuncaCity (1:18:42 AM): Oh, he holds out his arm.
SuncaCity (1:18:43 AM): Not up.
FrozenFarce (1:19:55 AM):   "What's the concern?"
FrozenFarce (1:20:02 AM):   "I just wanted to speak to your captain a moment."
SuncaCity (1:20:29 AM): "No concern, but this is now a crime scene."
FrozenFarce (1:20:37 AM):   "I understand."
FrozenFarce (1:20:46 AM):   "I suppose I'm used to handing the evidence over personally."
FrozenFarce (1:21:00 AM):   Back to him.
FrozenFarce (1:21:10 AM):   "I was hoping to speak to your captain directly, but relaying through you is fine."
FrozenFarce (1:21:31 AM):   "This entire incident was an accident.  The only wrongdoer here was the individual that fled from an accident."
FrozenFarce (1:21:46 AM):   "I can only imagine the stress of being hit and run worsened all of this."
FrozenFarce (1:22:16 AM):   "The man that this happened to regained control of himself once I'd woken him up and talked him down.  Despite what his powers would ENABLE him to do, it seems quite clear to me that he is not a threat."
FrozenFarce (1:22:19 AM):   pause
FrozenFarce (1:22:24 AM):   "Just, be good to him."
FrozenFarce (1:22:26 AM):   "He didn't ask for this."
SuncaCity (1:23:26 AM): "I'll pass it on.  If you're right, he'll be back to his normal life in a day or two."
FrozenFarce (1:23:33 AM):   nod
FrozenFarce (1:23:38 AM):   "Alright."
FrozenFarce (1:23:44 AM):   "I was worried that concerns about what he COULD do..."
FrozenFarce (1:23:53 AM):   "May trump the matter of what he ACTUALLY WILL."
FrozenFarce (1:24:07 AM):   that emphasis isn't meant to be yell-y heh
FrozenFarce (1:24:09 AM):   I just can't italicize
SuncaCity (1:24:11 AM): Hah, okay.
SuncaCity (1:24:44 AM): "We only take action when we have to."
SuncaCity (1:25:16 AM): He turns back towards Rotor.
SuncaCity (1:25:39 AM): "You registered?"
SuncaCity (1:25:55 AM): Rotor: "No."
FrozenFarce (1:26:25 AM):   hah
FrozenFarce (1:26:28 AM):   good man
SuncaCity (1:26:36 AM): "Might want to think about it."
SuncaCity (1:26:42 AM): Oh, that's OFSPEC guy.
FrozenFarce (1:26:46 AM):   right
SuncaCity (1:26:59 AM): "If you want to keep doing this, it helps to be registered."
FrozenFarce (1:27:19 AM):   yeah whatever you fascist
SuncaCity (1:27:42 AM): "Maybe I shouldn't tell you this, but it means we can't just arrest you at a whim."
SuncaCity (1:28:09 AM): "And it would let you testify in court, if you need to to help put somebody away."
SuncaCity (1:28:26 AM): "While keeping your identity a secret."
SuncaCity (1:28:37 AM): Rotor: "From everyone but you."
FrozenFarce (1:28:45 AM):   listen carefully to rotor's tone on that one
SuncaCity (1:28:46 AM): Rotor: "I thought aboout it.  I decided not to."
FrozenFarce (1:28:50 AM):   glad he's on the same page though
SuncaCity (1:29:06 AM): The OFSPEC agent shrugs.
SuncaCity (1:29:09 AM): "Alright."
SuncaCity (1:29:52 AM): "Hopefully you don't need it."
SuncaCity (1:30:17 AM): All the other OFSPEC agents are going into the helicopter.
SuncaCity (1:30:26 AM): "Hernandez!  Ross!"
SuncaCity (1:30:40 AM): The two agents you've been talking to look around.
FrozenFarce (1:31:02 AM):   that was the captain yelling I'm guessing
FrozenFarce (1:31:06 AM):   familiar voice?
FrozenFarce (1:31:07 AM):   build?
SuncaCity (1:31:11 AM): Yeah, commander.
SuncaCity (1:31:15 AM): Not familiar to you.
FrozenFarce (1:31:18 AM):   alright
FrozenFarce (1:31:30 AM):   "By the way..."
FrozenFarce (1:31:35 AM):   "Not sure if this kind of detail gets overlooked at times."
FrozenFarce (1:31:46 AM):   "But his name is Clyde.  And it seemed to help a great deal that he knew I cared about his well-being."
FrozenFarce (1:31:51 AM):   "I'm going back on patrol."
FrozenFarce (1:31:56 AM):   "Rotor, are you calling it a night?"
FrozenFarce (1:32:01 AM):   jump away
FrozenFarce (1:32:02 AM):   to a roof
SuncaCity (1:32:37 AM): gimme a min
FrozenFarce (1:33:41 AM):   heh
FrozenFarce (1:33:46 AM):   I actually need to get gonig
FrozenFarce (1:33:47 AM):   but
FrozenFarce (1:33:52 AM):   I don't work until 7EST tomorrow
FrozenFarce (1:33:59 AM):   and intend to be in an internet place a few hours prior
FrozenFarce (1:34:02 AM):   we should do stuff
SuncaCity (1:34:18 AM): Yeah, I'll probably have some time somewhere in there.
SuncaCity (1:34:51 AM): Alright.
SuncaCity (1:35:00 AM): Guess we'll call it a night, even if Ben isn't.
