Are things actually going to get done, or is this just some passing fancy? Just pick a bloody game and slap me in it so I don't have to hear about all these ideas of yours because they won't happen if you don't do anything.

Just stop your whining about the fear of application rejection, setting, plot, and/or premise of games. Pick one, don't give a shit which one, and go with it. I'm rather tired of your waffling.

[Your quartermaster is silently laughing at your pain.] Troubles, 007?

[james_bond]

Of the childish kind, yes. Don't think I've ever been this frustrated.

[breadcrumbs]

They do have a certain way about them, these muns.

[james_bond]

I'd say most of them need a swift kick.

[breadcrumbs]

The suggestion is usually enough to earn one for yourself.

[james_bond]

Wouldn't be the first time I've earned one.

[breadcrumbs]

No, I'm sure we were all aware of that.

[agent_widow]

Still dragging around? [the softness of her approach borders on the unnatural]

[james_bond]

I've been drug around by a car before and I think I'd prefer that to this.

[agent_widow]

At least there's forward motion with the car right?

[james_bond]

[Stern nod.] I swear if this dolt of a mun doesn't find a game soon I'd heavily consider running them over with a car.

[agent_widow]

Oh geez you are in a bad mood. But I don't think that would accomplish much outside of adding another mark on your file.

[james_bond]

Given how many I have on my file, I doubt they'd care if another one slipped in there. Besides, they've all been justified. At least by me.

[agent_widow]

And we both know how malleable self justification can be.

[james_bond]

You really think I just go random killing sprees?

[agent_widow]

[She gives a little smirk] Well I did see the word "Reckless" printed in there several times...

[james_bond]

Ah. One of the three R's. 'Reckless. Relentless. Retributive.' But yeah, that one in particular seems to be in there a lot more than the others. Or at least, that's what I hear the most when I'm being debriefed.

[tobeagod]

These are things that should be considered before slapping you somewhere.

You never know what's waiting there for you.

[james_bond]

I've given up the right to be cautious about anything the moment I accepted my current occupation. Besides, staying holed up in the middle of nowhere sounds much worse than plunging in, don't you think?

[tobeagod]

Nowhere could be safer for you than ending up somewhere that would be, shall we say, bad for your health.

[james_bond]

Not that your unexpected concern for my well being isn't welcome, but if I kept an eye on my health I would have been fired within a week.

[tobeagod]

It was advice freely given. Those trapped here with me don't need more of the likes of you trying to be their hero. I would hate to send another to their premature demise.

[james_bond]

Hero?? [A corner of his mouth curls into a half smirk.] I'm hardly a hero to be sure. I may go a bit beyond the orders of my superiors every now and then, but little more than that. Certified killer, are you?

[feathertyrant]

Ideas are nothing but the fruit of failed effort.

At least in my experience.

[james_bond]

Must not have been good ones then? Or just not executed properly.
