You sure it's a wise idea for me to go out with a username like that? Wouldn't want to make people suspicious of me now, would we?

[All complete and utter sarcasm.]

It's like the complete opposite of a healthy hobby.

[jailbreaks]

And staying inside like a hermit is.

[negativegate]

Y--I am not a hermit!

[jailbreaks]

Pretty sure that's what they call you types that never go outside. [Beat -- 1, 2, 3.] Though I guess it doesn't quite apply anymore.

[negativegate]

Hey, I went outside even before we met! Just...not as often as you.

[jailbreaks]

Pretty sure it doesn't count if you can count the number of times you went outside on one hand.

[negativegate]

Sh-shut up. It doesn't matter!

[Or she has no argument for that.]

[jailbreaks]

Right, right.

[Pretty sure too much of a good thing is bad, so time to let it rest.]

[negativegate]

...You're still suspicious.

[jailbreaks]

Never said I wasn't.

[negativegate]

W-whatever.

...It's still nice to have you around, I guess.

[jailbreaks]

Aww, you say that as if you actually missed me!

[negativegate]

What do you mean, actually?

--Uh--I-I mean-

So what if I did?!

[jailbreaks]

The great Rita Mordio proclaiming she missed some Lower Quarter delinquent? What will happen if someone finds out?

[negativegate]

Nothing would happen, idiot! I'm a genius, not a noble.

[jailbreaks]

You sure it wouldn't ruin your credibility or something? [Snicker.]

1/2

[negativegate]

Hmph! Anyone who judges my work because of something like that isn't worth my time, anyway.

[negativegate]

Besides, I can use you as an example: here's what happens to people who don't use their brains.

[He will not make jokes about how her lack of sun made her breasts not grow, and thanks to an incredible amount of self-control, he won't. No matter how tempted he is.]

Don't quit your day job, Rita.

[negativegate]

[The smuggest of smirks now. She thinks she's won whatever this is.]

This coming from the guy with no day job in the first place.

[jailbreaks]

[No, no she hasn't. Yuri just allows her to enjoy her small victory.]

Dealing with the Schwann brigade was two jobs.

[negativegate]

[And she's well-practiced in denial.]

Please, dealing with those goons is a pastime.

[jailbreaks]

[Yeah, it has become a running gag at this point.]

Guess I'll have to find something new to entertain myself.

[Which would be traveling the world, but he can at least pretend he'll be bored.]

[negativegate]

[One of many reasons Rita loves research--there's always something new.]

As if you'll be that bored. The only question here is whether it's something else that'll get you arrested.

[jailbreaks]

There's always something I'll be arrested for.

[Shame? What's shame?]
