1. [Not too long after the sprawl mission, Jen can be found talking to someone on a phone.]

What do you mean it counts as a default?! I got there with time to spare!

...Look, it's not my fault a ninja showed up to kill everyone!

[They say some more, and Jen just sighs.]

...Is the operation to get my drive replaced at least covered? I only just finished the payments on this thing...

[The person on the other end of the phone replies, and Jen slams the handset back down on the receiver-hard enough to shatter them both.]


...great. Today's great.

2. [Later, at the bar, Jen's sitting alone-and she's built up an impressive collection of empty bottles and shot glasses around her.]


Okay, normally I should definitely be blacked out by now...


...Are you really sure you're not an alcoholic?

Yes!

That much alcohol can't be healthy, you know.

Hello, Jennifer.

[Ren waves a little.]

Please don't mind me. It looks like you've been through a lot recently.
jianai: (Character development)

From: [personal profile] jianai


And so you kept on going?

[Ren looks up and down the pile of empty glass.]

That's impressive. And dare I say, quite unusual.

[Says the horned one.]

"Some weird stuff"? Did you try to have that checked?

I don't think Unity Group will bar you entrance from medical facilities, especially if they are not in use. After all...

You somehow made it here already, didn't you?

That sounds like a good idea. Let's try to take it slow, Jennifer. Everything looks better in the morning.

Will you need help finding a place to rest?

Drinking away your woes?

[Roger takes the next sit.]

After all that happened, I can't say I blame you.
a_louse: (opening face)

From: [personal profile] a_louse


Roger Smith. I was there when things went downhill. You might remember me as Unity Group's negotiator, or the man who threw the flash bomb.

[Or Big O's pilot, but Roger prefers not to mention that yet.]
a_louse: what does that even mean (tomato face)

From: [personal profile] a_louse


Similar interests. I like the work Unity Group is doing, and they are always looking for talented people. Including negotiators.
a_louse: (sunglasses at night)

From: [personal profile] a_louse


Ah. So you connected the dots.

Outside Paradigm I'm not exactly keeping the fact that I'm Big O's pilot a secret, but I'd like to ask you to you to be discreet about it regardless.
a_louse: (Default)

From: [personal profile] a_louse


I appreciate it.

What are you going to do now? Return to your job, try to work out the situation you stepped into?
a_louse: (the truth is out there)

From: [personal profile] a_louse


I wouldn't compare Unity Group to hired killers. They have a much stronger moral backbone, for one thing.

You'll figure out what to do eventually, I'm sure. In the meantime, I doubt the locals will mind if you stay here as long as you need and ponder your options.

... I'd like something that she hasn't drank up yet ma'am.

[That's... really odd. He turns his attention to Jen now.]

You know looking at all of that glass, you should actually be suffering from alcohol poisoning by now.

[Calvin couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous as he took the sleek, chilly glass as he turned to regard Jen.]

['This dame's got the scent of a white collar worker from one of the deadliest parts of the world. Wouldn't surprise me if she was. Job's gone sour... how I don't know... but I guess I should find out... might be something weird that could bite people in the ass if left alone.']

Well Miss I'd have to say, you'd probably make a killing in a drinking contest if you really could put it away like that. But I'm guessing this isn't normal is it?
in_over_his_head: Is a gigantic gary stu (I have one question.)

Sounds like a bad fantasy novel. Guess you can say the same about a lot of things happening around here though. I already talked to that one 'crazy knight'.

[He takes a sip of his glass... it was a lot lighter and just fancier than his usual fare. Still... a drink was a drink.]

But I'm guessing your line of work usually has some form of abnormality quotient if you said ninjas were 'one thing'.

['Sounds like a crazier night than a lot of people would care for... guess someone didn't want her to deliver the goods... or maybe wanted them for themselves. Maybe it might have something to do with why she isn't collapsing right now from all the drink.']
