Broadchurch/Gracepoint/recent DT icon searching. :P Mun procrastinating on a job search too ugh.

[scots_fuzz]

Oi, what're ye doin' pullin' me back out 'ere? You've got tae get yer arse in gear abou' tha' externship job search ye've been whingin' abou', fer months, for college bloody credit, lady. Ye're no' supposed tae be icon searchin' or pootlin' around on here.

Ye've got plenty'f icons stored awey. --No I doen't need anythin' new, I promise I doen't look any diff'rent than th' last search ye did when DI Hardy got all tha' media attention. Yes, I know I'm no' as scruffy as him. Shoosh an' stop wastin' yer time. 

Jus' ... go back tae chattin' on AIM wi' Em's mun. We're both happy there anywey. I have a feelin et's gonnae be like pullin' teeth tae get her mun tae let Emma come out here at any rate. She's got 'er own responsibilities tae keep up wi'. 

An'... yeh, I miss Tyler, too. I guess there's no' many ways tae recover from burnout. She'll come back when she's ready, I s'pose. Jus' hope I'm around when she does, aye? 

Jus' get tha' job lined up an' make sure ye keep et past yer required extern hours--Ef ye made second choice on tha' last interview, I bet ye'll make first choice at another place.

You c'n do et, love. Get that job, settle in, then put me an' th' others back out here. One theng at a time, love, you'll get et.

I vaguely remember you.

[scots_fuzz]

I remember you, too.

[ofdrumsthesound]

I'm touched.

[notveryspecial]

Tell her to hurry up for reasons of ninja.

[scots_fuzz]

[snorts] I doen't thenk tha's enough motivation for her, dearie.

[notveryspecial]

How cruel. There aren't any detectives and yet there are mysteries to solve. You should convince her.

[scots_fuzz]

Sorry, love, I'm relatively certain she's not got a lick of int'rest in th' ninja culture. An' no amount of convincing will work, even wi' things tae solve.

[notveryspecial]

Please tell her that's ninjaracist.

[scots_fuzz]

I dunno, I wouldnae call et that. She's content wi' wha' she knows about 'em an' tha's fine. She'll be happy ef she learns a wee bit more incidentally, bu' she's no' gonnae go seekin' ev'rythin' out about et.

I s'pose et's like sittin' through yer worst subject in school, aye? Y'learn just enough tae get by, but ye're no' gonnae go look up anythin' extra jus' because ye can.

[notveryspecial]

*bl i nks. don't talk so quickly.*

...What did you just say?

[scots_fuzz]

[apfft, he's talking at his normal speed. Lots of people understand him!

He smirks a wee bit; she's kind of experiencing his point about his mun there, isn't she.]

Too much information about somethin' ye doen't know anythin' about can be overwhelming an' offputting, can't et? Tha's sort'f houw she feels about th' whole idear.

[notveryspecial]

[Hey now, her first language isn't Scottishenglish it's Ninjajapanese, cut her slack, mister.

...but nope. Still mostly missing the point he's driving at.]

She can be gradually introduced to the idea.

[scots_fuzz]

[Well he's not going to talk to her like she's a child, is he? He's guessing she's quick enough that she can figure his cadence and accent out. He might slow down a little; he's cutting her that much slack.

Her mun's just being her usual stubborn self interpreting for the muse, isn't she? Liam is familiar with this tactic. And isn't falling for it.]

She doesnae have th' time tae learn another culture. An' isnae terribly int'rested either. When she's ready she wants tae put me somewhere we're both relatively comfortable in going without learnin' too many new thengs. Ninjaland isn't it. [There, direct enough for you?]

She's no' asking for a resort island or anythin' [Though of course he wouldn't be opposed to that...], jus' somewhere neutral tha' she won't be overwhelmed learnin' th' ropes.

[notveryspecial]

[Sure she is! Just...give her a bit...

and she has no comment on that, sir scot.]

You know, most of the resorts try to kill you at night, or force you to have sex with people. With that in consideration, it's in your best interest to team up with us against her.

[...
...

......She can come up with another strategy one day if the bargaining fails.

She can.

Just wait.]
