[ hello we are somewhere. and to just get right into things, we are trapped in a bubble. ]

Uhhh. The hell?

[fleshedout]

The hell is right. Ugh-!

[She's going to try to punch out with some color, and then-]

[The world of Tubular Bells is not a kind one. A foe to defeat, to protect a young girl, and the vital mission she's gone through. But even so, the tables seem to turn. One hand, sliced off. The other, sliced off. But she knows she's had the upper hand.]

[For when he goes to blow another of his balloon animals to direct to her, the "scent" is already on the flesh integrated with his body forces them back within his own head. She gives him a choice. Pass out and die, or choose the hard way.]

[And of course, in his anger, he chooses the hard way.]

[The bubble dissipates. Hot Pants stands...and just closes her eyes.]

...Tch.

[highrisk]

[ hELLO

damien just looks increasingly distressed by all this? which has more to do with seeing her bloody and fucked up than the particular metal balloon animal ability.

listen damien loves to tough talk but he does not actually deal with much... dismembering? ]

Jesus Christ.

[fleshedout]

...

[She frowns disapprovingly at his reaction, but she shrugs, her tone a little dry.]

Can't be different than what you got going on in your world, right?

[highrisk]

It's very different, thanks.

[fleshedout]

...

[Yeah, she's just teasing.]

I'm glad it is. You don't need to deal with this stuff.

[highrisk]

Anyone from my world would be dead. God.

[ he shudders because honestly that shit's unsettling! ]

[fleshedout]

Maybe we should combine forces and let Stand users from our world deal with the AM. See if they can handle it.

[highrisk]

[ he snorts a little laugh, pleased at the idea briefly, but ]

Not to underestimate Stand users, but it's one branch of one organization. Success wouldn't mean anything, failure would mean putting people in danger.

[fleshedout]

That extensive, huh.

[She's not surprised.]

Is it the type of place that has people to even replace the person who runs the whole thing?

[highrisk]

Probably. I assume it's kind of a hydra situation.

Agent Wadsworth is a bitch, but take her down and nothing changes.

[fleshedout]

[Hm. Bad.]

So you just have to kill the whole thing in one go?

[highrisk]

Then what replaces it? It's run by the government, they'll just make a new organization.

And I doubt the AM is the only one out there. It's just probably the best one there is.

[ which is. bad. ]

[fleshedout]

...

Could just kill the president.

[SHE SAYS THIS SO EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY]

[highrisk]

No.

[ MA'AM ]

[fleshedout]

Well, that was our plan was where I come from.

[ALSO SERIOUS????????]

[highrisk]

I, uh. Don't think it would really pan out for me.

I'm not cut out for killing.

[fleshedout]

That's good.

[She's sincere about it.]

It takes a certain kind of person to do that, after all.

[highrisk]

... Right.

[ haha. sincerity. ]

[fleshedout]

[THROWS SINCERITY IN THIS GRUMPY CAT'S FACE]

You're the type of person who likes working in the background, don't you? Hacking and all.

[highrisk]

Preferably.

But even if I'm not cut out for it - I can do what needs doing.

[fleshedout]

That's important. Even support is needed in a battle...even if it isn't really a "battle", persay.

[highrisk]

... Yeah.

[ he realizes the bubble is still here. and it has been for way too long, so he gives a little nod at it like a 'i'm just gonna take care of this' and...

then they have to watch him drunk dial someone before noon. just the worst. just the most embarrassing shit for a grown man to be doing. help. ]

[fleshedout]

...

[Ah. Yes, this is a bit shameful, but the content of this. Listening to him talking through it, and Mark outlining things he's done...kidnapping a kid, as a threat...]

[You know my bark is worse than my bite.]

[Your bark is your bite, Damien.]

[She turns to look at him, staring him down, before saying, bluntly:]

...You do realize you're very bad at lying, do you, Damien?

[highrisk]

[ he hates it here ]

... Okay?
