on finding a game

[agent_birkin]

Considering some of the conversations you've made me have? I have to admit that I am less than thrilled with the idea of you putting me somewhere, Mun.

I really hope that you put some thought into it, and ask that maybe you consider not making my life even harder than it already is? It would be greatly appreciated, giving the entire mess I just got myself out of.

Thanks for listening, at the very least.

You could always ask for a paycheque.

[What Would Jake Do 101.]

[agent_birkin]

You would tell me to do that.

[Sherry looks amused. How typical of you, Mr. Muller!]

[pathogenetic]

[A bit of a smirk and an easy shrug.]

Can you blame a guy for trying?

[agent_birkin]

[Sherry just shakes her head at him, smiling at the same time.]

Nope. Some things never change.

[pathogenetic]

Some do.

[That's. A surprisingly honest statement from one Jake Muller, even if he's not looking at her when he says it. Instead, he scuffs his knuckles along the side of his nose and then shakes his head.]

Anyway. Your mun seen anywhere worth going yet?

[agent_birkin]

Oh? What changed, then?

[Jake, you are just so funny when you're being honest. It makes her smile even more, and kind of want to tease him.]

Not so far, but I'm sure she'll come up with something pretty quick here.

[pathogenetic]

You know what changed.

[Too bad he's hard to tease.]

Good. Make sure it's somewhere warm. Sandy beaches, blue skies. The whole nine yards.

[agent_birkin]

Alright, maybe I do.

[Dang it. Oh well, she'll find another way, she promises!]

That sounds nice, though unfortunately my mun tends to go with things that are on the darker side. I can only hope for a setting like that.

[pathogenetic]

[His expression shifts to the realm of vaguely frustrated, and then he waves a hand in annoyed dismissal.]

Guess it's a good thing you'll have your partner when you go, huh?

[big_badass_hero]

I have a feeling Kennedy and I would both rest easier if you got a normal job, like a waitress or something. [Not that your bad at your job, but hey he says the same to Claire]

[agent_birkin]

[Oh that makes her laugh.]

I don't think I'm waitress material, honestly. Besides, I couldn't just sit back and live an apple pie life knowing what is out there.

[big_badass_hero]

Yeah, doesn't work for Claire either. Keep tryin' though. [He sighs a little.]

Other than not being placed anywhere they treatin' you okay?

[agent_birkin]

That depends... does having to interact with Albert Wesker and having ice cream dumped on my shoes sound lovely to you?

[big_badass_hero]

The ice cream might have been funny.

[The Wesker bit earns the glare for a moment. He shares headspace with two versions of you Sher, one being raised by the ex captain, the other stuck on a boat with him.]

What is it about muns throwing you at him. And Still not sorry for killing him. Just wish dropping the lab on him back in Raccoon had done the job. Would have saved a lot of lives.

[agent_birkin]

Maybe for an on-looker, but my shoes certainly didn't find it funny when they became friends with the dumpster. [But Sherry is smiling despite her sarcasm. It fades a little bit at the comment about Wesker dying and it having the potential to have saved a lot of lives.]

Unfortunately the invention of the time machine is still on hold.

[big_badass_hero]

[Sorry but he can't stop snickering.] Why you think I keep to combat boots? Nothing trashes em.

We need someone to work on that

[contentious]

Realist thoughts aside, I am hoping you get better treatment than what I've been seeing, Sherry.

Someone out of all of us needs to be the lucky one to get a break.

[agent_birkin]

I have this feeling I won't be the one to catch that break, but I appreciate the sentiment anyway. Besides, I think you deserve one much more than I do. You've been doing this since I was a kid.

[contentious]

Well you know what they say— no rest for the wicked. I think I'll get a break when I stop hearing the words 'bioterrorism' and 'potential global catastrophe'.

[piously]

It's not a question of whether they put thought into it, Agent Birkin. Seems like what all of us have to worry about is the kind of thought they put into finding us a home.

[agent_birkin]

Either way, knowing my luck it won't be anything good. Is your Mun treating you well, at least?

[piously]

[ There's a thought to argue that it doesn't matter how good or bad her luck is - making the best of it and pulling through is what counts in the end. But he decides against it. He's heard and seen enough here to understand her concerns. ]

Better than most. We have our disagreements [ especially when it comes to the Captain ] but that's to be expected. Does your Mundane have a place in mind?
