You maayyyy have come across some meds lately. Painkillers? I need ya to deliver those for me. Or at last keep 'em safe 'til I can pick 'em up.

[sharktrash]

[ Oh that. He remembers it. Not in great detail, however. Being punched in the dick tends to mess with a guy's perception for a while. ]

[ He grins at the tablet, not particularly friendly. ]

Hey, finders keepers.

[clowngirl]

Finders wouldn't have found without moi. C'mon, be the fantastic you I know ya are and I'll let ya have your cut.

[1. Flattery. 2. ??? 3. PROFIT... right?]

[sharktrash]

[ Ugh it's so difficult to be an asshole when she's like this. ]

I want 30%.

[clowngirl]

[Woo! Haggling time!]

20%, and that's if you haven't taken any so far. 15% for samplin' the goods.

[sharktrash]

Too late, already fed some to a cyborg. 40%.

[ squalo you're supposed to go down not up ]

[clowngirl]

[GDI SQUALO]

25% and you deliver!

[sharktrash]

30% and I'll bring it to you once I'm healed. Final offer or I'm keeping it.

[ ...it's also his original offer but maybe these mafia types aren't that good at bartering huh ]

[clowngirl]

Fiiiiiine. You got yourself a deal. I might even throw in a thanks-and-sorry gift once you get here. Square?

[sharktrash]

Great. I'll let you know when I head out. Where are you guys anyway?

[clowngirl]

I'm in the first residential area, still on my way to meet up with Mr. J. Dependin' on his plans, we could be headin' back to the third after that, though.

[sharktrash]

Same here. Supposedly we're close to opening up the bunker, so everyone's gonna flock there.

[clowngirl]

Great! Catch you soon, Fishcakes!

[sharktrash]

So you do have something to hold over him. Nice.

[ That's kind of adorable. Also dumb, but hey. He grins; he probably just forgot about noodle boy's well being there but there's no reason to announce that. ]

Right. Might be best to take him outta your friend's head first.

[ but the makeouts can totally happen then, right ]

[ excuse that little bit of hyena laughter. ]

Well, if you'd rather have both...

[ teasing ]

[phaseshifter]

Yuh-huh. And I'm ruthless enough to use it, too. Grr.

[ LOOK SHE'S BADASS AS FUCK. Her face drops a little at the mention of removing Jack, though. How to even explain that tangle of bullshit?? ]

And, uh, don't count on Jack ever getting uninstalled. Seriously not likely to happen. It requires the removal of all Rhys' cybernetics, and it - you know, it's kinda like killing the guy? And Rhys is kinda a big softie like that. Killing someone is different when you know them, right? Harder. So. It's pretty safe to say he's always gonna be --

 

 

[ hey guess who's suddenly hyper fucking aware that Jack isn't watching right now ]

-- uh. Watching.

[sharktrash]

[ oh hey does that mean its time for A KISS ]

[ just kidding ]



[ He does listen to all of that tangle of bullshit, and honestly it's pathetic but it's also not something he can't comprehend. He has some soft friends of his own. He doesn't quite understand that adversity to killing, but he knows about it. ]

[ This just sounds so shitty, though. Didn't Angel mention she wanted that guy dead before? Was this all on Rhys then? ]

That's ass. You're just gonna put up with [ vague gestures at everything ] that forever? Best decisions aren't always the easy ones. If you need someone else pulling the plug --

[ he would kill your holographic father for you babe so your best friend doesn't have to HOWEVER THAT WOULD EVEN WORK he probably sucks with cybernetics but its the thought that counts ]

[ or they could just pour coffee on the shiny hole in Rhys' head that would work too right ]

[phaseshifter]

[ DON'T TEMPT HER, TOOFS MCGEE. Except ok no there are more important things than that right now -- ]

No! No no no. Don't do that! It has to be his decision. Rhys'. I - I mean, don't get me wrong, that's. Weirdly touching, actually, but. Don't.

[ tmw you're getting gooey eyed over someone offering to murder your shitty AI dad

~*~just angel things~*~ ]

Living with it isn't even that bad. You get, uh. Used to the limitations?

[sharktrash]

[ ~*~ THIS COULD BE THE ONLY CHANCE THEY GET ~*~ ]

You shouldn't have to get used to it.

[ master of sweet talking right there isn't he. ]

Fine. Legally, though, it's your decision.

[ if they were in a hospital the opinion of a relative would matter over the opinion of a friend (???) and all that. ]

[ also it sounds like noodle boy is choosing his embarrassing crush over his alleged best friend's mental well being just saying :/ have you considered getting new friends ]

[phaseshifter]

[ C E A S E, ]

Well. Life isn't fair, is it? None of us should have to scuttle our way through a post-apocalyptic snowy ass-scape, but. Here we are. We deal with it, right?

[ Grateful smiles all up in here. LOOK AT HER DECISIONS GETTING RESPECTED

D-DOKI! ]

Plus still getting to piss Jack off in safe ways now and then is pretty fun.

[sharktrash]

[ THEY COULD ALL HORRIBLY DIE EXPLODING INTO SPIDERS IN A FEW DAYS. ]

No. That's why you make it fair. Or fairer.

[ Like, you know, by MURDERING THOSE THAT MAKE YOU MISERABLE. ]

[ oh no is he accidentally hitting off her kinks ]

I thought pissing him off makes noodle boy's head explode.

[phaseshifter]

[ SHIT WHERE DID SHE PUT HER CHAPSTICK SHIT FUCK ]

Easier said than done! And that's why I specified pissing him off safely. There're only a few things that make him mad enough to get Rhys hurt, liiiike...

[ She starts counting them off on her fingers. As you do. ]

...talking about me - er, doing the do, talking about me kissing someone, talking about me holding hands with someone in a non-platonic manner, annnnd he once got super steamed when he found out about me dying back home. I've died here since then, though, and I don't think Rhys suffered many ill effects.

[ How fucked up is THAT. ]

So everything else is fair game! I hug Beckett a lot, he hates that.

[sharktrash]

[ ROLLING HIS EYES JUST A BIT TBH ]

Not a very extensive list. [ But hey, if she's determined to make her life suck, there's only so much he can do. ] If you change your mind, let me know.

[phaseshifter]

Oh, I totally will! And if the non-AI version ever shows up again, you can feel free to fri-- fuck him up without checking first. Rhys has no say in what happens to that one.

[ What a generous offer. ]

 

 

...I can't believe I brought you in here to ask you to murder less, and now I'm saying that.

[sharktrash]

[ That's actually good to hear. And here he was thinking she'd given all that agency to Rhys. Go girl. ]

[ Also, he's laughing. It's short, but probably pretty loud, as his voice tends to be in general. ]

Hey, we all do what we're good at.

[ IS HE SAYING YOU'RE GOOD AT TELLING PEOPLE TO MURDER or just that he doesn't mind doing more of it... who knows. ]

But I'll keep that in mind. I owe you that much.

[ Not gonna forget all those days of you feeding and possibly peeing him that easily, no worries. ]

[phaseshifter]

What...? You don't owe me anything, don't be dumb!

[ She's genuinely surprised. And also fucking delighted about the laugh, even though it sets her off glancing towards the door again. You never know how a thing like that can be misinterpreted, okay. ]

I'm pretty sure anything I've done to help you out is something I volunteered for. And kinda bullied you into accepting, a little. I'm the worst.
