How long does it take for you to get over a cold exactly? There's an application to be done as well as doing some more canon review of related material. So, if it's all the same to you, buy some pills and get to work. Deadline's much closer than you think.

Have they even started yet? I dare say you may be falling behind. [was that a note of superiority?]

[james_bond]

It's not often my mun gets ill, but apparently when it does hit it hits quite hard.

[vesper_lynd]

Well that is a bit of misfortune isn't it. No matter though. I'm sure you'll be good enough to put the screws to him and get the job done.

[james_bond]

Well yes, especially given that my mun is easily taken away or distracted never helps staying on course. That said I am quite ready for this cold to move along.

[vesper_lynd]

Perhaps they can borrow a bit of your fortitude and speed up the recovery process a bit. Wish it were so easy for this one. It's a bloody wonder she can function at all I swear.

[james_bond]

I doubt they'd welcome my help. How do we get stuck with these ones again?

[vesper_lynd]

Oh I can answer that darling. It's all a matter of wish fulfillment isn't it. We have the health, skill, and fortitude that they cannot seem to achieve.

[james_bond]

Anyone wishing to be me is an idiot. Plain and simple.

[vesper_lynd]

I quite agree. The things we're but through in our line of work I wouldn't wish on someone as soft as this.

[james_bond]

Apparently that's what they want. Really don't think I'm ever taken seriously by my mun.

[vesper_lynd]

Yes well my Mun is telling me that they'll never get there with the eating habits they have at the moment. And I heartily agree with that.

[james_bond]

Are you joking? Mine has cookies. Right now.

Ridiculous.

[vesper_lynd]

What kind? [not that she's curious or anything right?]

[james_bond]

[No. Never.]

Chocolate chip. Homemade. With an orange soda-pop.

This is after they've finished their so called lunch.

[vesper_lynd]

Well the cookies sound nice but all that sugar and carbonation? And I don't suppose this "lunch" included a salad did it.

[james_bond]

Ha. No. It was rather- well it was rather greasy. I guess when ill my mun loses brain power as well.

[vesper_lynd]

Oh goodness. Shall have to teach him how to properly prepare a meal won't you.

[james_bond]

Doubt he'll listen to me. Doesn't matter, as long as he works on that application before the game starts accepting, should be fine.

[vesper_lynd]

Indeed. Getting full of anticipation are we?

[james_bond]

I just hate waiting. But I admit, I am a bit curious to see how the game unfolds considering the reserves that have been made so far.

[vesper_lynd]

Should be fascinating I'm sure. Do us a favor. Be a dear and handle the civilian recruits would you?

[james_bond]

And what is it exactly that makes you think they'll assign a 00 agent to training green recruits?

[vesper_lynd]

Wouldn't be the first time they've saddled one (or both) of us with an Agent in Training.

[james_bond]

True, but even then they weren't entirely new to the trade, they've witnessed missions from headquarters as well as having gone through standard training. Not fresh off the street.

[vesper_lynd]

Yes that could be a problem. Maybe the Control Core AI can handle it.

[james_bond]

Controlled training I could see. But you can't get the same level of field training through any simulations given by an AI.

[vesper_lynd]

I suppose at that point they'll be sent our way. [there's a haggard exhale]

[james_bond]

Part of the larger plan, isn't it?

[vesper_lynd]

The plan to pawn off extra work? Certainly.
