Walks into this fandom 15 minutes late w/Starbucks...also gameseeking maybe

[storyseeker]

Come on, mun. I'm willing to go pretty far for a story, but a whole different world might be pushing it. It's not like I don't have enough excitement in my life; that's part of the deal when you hang out with treasure hunters.

...all right, I'll tell you what. Throw in a camera and the possibility of screen time and I'll consider it.

With they way you're talking I'd say you were ready to meet them halfway from the get go.

Willing to go to an brand new world for a story... If I didn't know better I'd say I was rubbing off on you.

[storyseeker]

Hey, if I am, and I'm not saying you're right, that's called dedication to my job.

Or maybe you're just a terrible influence on me.

[halftuckhero]

Oh, it's called something alright and either way you look at it that's as good as saying that I am right.

[storyseeker]

No way, I'm not giving in that easily. I was speaking hypothetically. It's not like I'd have to go that far just for a story, not when you and Sully are always up to something crazy.

[Not that any of those adventures have made it on air, but. Minor details.]

[halftuckhero]

[Elena, if you didn't think Nate wasn't going to call you out on those minor details you are very, very wrong.]

Funny you should mention that, because as far as I can remember I don't think any of our "crazy adventures" ever aired.

[storyseeker]

[Damn it, Drake, stop being inconveniently perceptive.]

Yeah? Well in that case, I guess you still owe me a story. Ever plan on paying up?

[youhavebeenflynned]

It can be a lot of fun...

I'd hope you won't end up in one of those dark torture games tho. I wouldn't want that fate on anyone.

Her favorite person!

[storyseeker]

I'm tough enough to handle it. Wouldn't be much to report on, though, would there?

"Something horrible and traumatizing happened today—must be a day that ends in Y." Wouldn't even make it to prime-time news.

Sorry for the late! I've been moving.

[halftuckhero]

[But where would the fun in that be?]

Not particularly, but I could probably be convinced.

Oh, no worries! Good luck with that, moving is a pain.

[storyseeker]

And here I thought your sense of honor would be enough—oh wait.

[youhavebeenflynned]

It's funny how you actually think there will even be television where you're going.

[storyseeker]

There might be. I did do my research—news is definitely a thing in some of these worlds, and news stations need reporters.

It's not like I have no say where I might go. Do you think you know any better?

[youhavebeenflynned]

Sure. I can only speak from my own experience and in that experience news television was NOT a thing.

Me? Why would I have a say in where you go? Far away from me I hope. To be frank, my own mun doesn't seem to know what to do with me, other than throwing me at random cast mates.

[storyseeker]

Surprise, surprise, you don't know everything.

Maybe you should think about why that is. They might have better luck finding the right place for you if you were less inclined to blow people up with grenades when they're trying to help you.

[youhavebeenflynned]

I know more than you barbie.

Says the girl whose husband is a mass murdering, city destroying maniac. Pretty sure I already covered this anyhow? All that kept that grenade secure was my finger. Life isn't a fairy tale love, it's a bitch.

[storyseeker]

Is that supposed to make me defensive? Sorry if I don't put a lot of weight on the opinion of someone willing to team up with a literal warlord who wanted to conquer the world.

You could have tried to throw it. Or just not died with a stupid grudge as your last thoughts. But I guess I can't get too upset when the only person you managed to kill was yourself.

[youhavebeenflynned]

It was a job which would have gotten me set for life.

Throw it? Bloody throwing it? As soon as I let go it would blow up in my face! Nate deserved everything he got. Considering you dumped him twice I don't see why you get so defensive.

[storyseeker]

I guess that's the risk you take when counting on a man like Lazarevic setting you up for life.

You know what? We actually agree, just now how you think. Nate did deserve what he got. And your information's out of date—we're doing just fine. [...ish.]

[youhavebeenflynned]

I miscalculated. He was a lot clever than I expected. It screwed me over. I should have been more on guard when dealing with him. [That's about as much of him admitting he made a mistake you would get.]

Touching. Glad you realize he isn't exactly a saint. Well considering I got a city dropped on my head, I woukd expect ny intel to be outdated.

[storyseeker]

[It's more than she expected, so she'll let that rest and not rub the admission in his face. It's the least she can do for someone who died for his errors, even if he is a huge dick in her eyes.]

He isn't, but he has done more good for the world than you think, and he's got good things in his life to show for it.

Why do you even want to compare yourself to him, though? Out there, things may be done for you, but there are more opportunities here, and they're not all in scary torture worlds. You could find a better place, maybe even make a life for yourself.

[youhavebeenflynned]

Funny how that goes. And the men murdered? They were just collateral?

I've been in two places already love. One being a magical castle and the other was Tartaros. I hanged around there for awhile but never quite managed to build up my reputation. Just saying.

[storyseeker]

Do you honestly think you're going to turn me around and make me call him a monster? It's not going to happen.

Then maybe you should think about what all these places have in common. No one can force you to be an asshole.

[youhavebeenflynned]

Just pointing out the irony of your statement. Us villains suffers too.

Oh I'm reserve my assholeness to special people. I can be really friendly to those whom doesn't cause trouble for me. I made several friends y'know.

[storyseeker]

Maybe thinking of yourself as a villain is half your problem.

Friends, or people you could use?

[youhavebeenflynned]

It's how you and everyone else sees me. So why don't I own it instead of feeling "guilty" about it?

Friends. Actually.

[storyseeker]

I can't speak for anyone else, but that's now how I see you. I just think you're a tremendous dick.

Good for you.

[youhavebeenflynned]

I'm touched by your faith in me.
