holy crap, I haven't played Rochelle in forever

[axemeaquestion]

Sweetie? I'm glad you want me around again! TRUST me, I'm not kidding. I'd rather be out here than stuck with all the--weirdo, crazy mobster types you keep around now.

But please tell me I'm sticking around this time.

[streetsmarts]

Huh. [That's an...interesting attitude.]

Guess there's a first time for everything.

[axemeaquestion]

First time for... what, exactly?

And long time no see, Suit!

[streetsmarts]

For that kind of attitude. [Shrug.] Should've known you of all people would have a positive outlook.

Likewise. [A beat.] D'ya miss me?

[axemeaquestion]

Oh. [pfft] Well, I'm no Ellis, but I try, you know?

Mm. A little. [The good natured grin makes it obvious she's kidding. Otherwise the real answer is "yes".]

[streetsmarts]

No, you're not, and thank god for that. The last thing anybody needs is another one of him.

Just a little? Wow. Warming the cockles of my heart here, Ro. [Because that's much nicer than the 'no' he had been expecting.]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Oh man, Ro, am I glad t'see ya! An' so is my mun, too. But mostly me, 'cuz it's been a while since I seen ya. How ya been? And hey, don't sweat them mob types. I'm sure they're all just like Nick, all bark an' no bite. A real big teddy bear on the inside just like him!

I think, anyways.

[axemeaquestion]

Ellis! Hey, sweetie! Shit, you're not kidding. It's been a LONG damn while. I've been good, I've been good. Bored to tears, but good. What about you?

And I don't know. You don't know some of the mobster guys. They're pretty far gone from Nick.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Aw, that's good to hear, girl. 'm glad things are goin' well for ya! Things are good for me, too! Man you wouldn't believe the shit I been gettin' up to. I got me a Pokemon! Her name is Suee and she is the sweetest lil pig ya ever saw, and she breathes fire. How amazin' is that?

And this one time, me and my buddy Norman- this short lil dude with the coolest hair ever- we decided to go huntin' for owls. Only it was dark, and y'know how it is, noises all over the place at night. So I heard somethin' in the bushes and I was just like 'Oh shit, this is it, the zombies finally found me!' so I was all 'NORMAN RUN!' and he was all 'OKAY' and then I ran smack dab into a tree. Turns out it wasn't even a zombie! It was just my imagination, 'cuz Johto ain't got no zombies. But man that sure was a real big scare. 'bout broke my nose! Luckily I didn't. But runnin' into the tree made one'a the owls fall on me. So I guess it was like fate or somethin'!

How d'ya mean they're far gone? Like, are you sayin' they're actually doin' bad shit? 'cuz I don't see Nick actually hurtin' anybody except zombies. He sure does hurt them real bad though.

[axemeaquestion]

[There's no zombies around so Rochelle really has no excuse to stop his stories. So Ro's listening. As patiently as she can.]

I--oh. Okay. Wait, you got a pokemon? [pause] Actually, you know what? I can't even be suprised anymore. I was in a place that gave me superpowers about a year ago.

Like actually-doing-bad-shit bad. Nick's not literally psychotic.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[She may not be surprised, but that ain't going to stop him from clarifying. And man it feels good to tell a story without getting interrupted- something he's sort of getting used to, but at the same time it's still weird.]

Sure did! Oh man, you should come to Johto too! How great would that be? Nick's comin' too and we could travel all over the place and get gym badges and breed Pokemon and have the time of our lives! Oh and you should tell me all about them powers, 'cuz that sounds awesome! And did I ever tell ya how I'm also a wizard at Hogwarts? Because I damn sure am, Ro! I can do real magic! With a wand! And Nick's there, too. Man I love it there. Keith is there, too!

Ohhh. That sounds... bad. Ya definitely should stay away from 'em then. 'less ya got a gun, then ya can just shoot 'em if they try somethin'! Though... shootin' people's a lot more different than shootin' zombies. Sort of. I mean, zombies were people, so I guess... aw, ya know what I mean, right? Yeah.

[badonkadonks]

Buttz.

[axemeaquestion]

Butt-what?

[badonkadonks]

You heard me. You know what this is about. IT. IS. ON.

Come at me brah.

[axemeaquestion]

Whoah, whoah whoah whoah. Hang on, shortstop. I have no idea what this is about.

[badonkadonks]

Who you callin' short? I am the SIZE OF SEVENTEEN MAMA SKAGS STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER!

Not doin' any of that hanky panky bidness mind you. Don't go dirty on me.

eee, Rochelle! /fangirl squeeing over here, don't mind me

[worrywart]

I have to admit, it's nice to see someone around here with a positive outlook. It's... a little tiring hearing everyone bicker with their writers. [He offers a good-natured smile.]

Happy to oblige!

[axemeaquestion]

People still bicker about there writers here? Wow. That got old the first few times I heard it two years ago. At least I'm refreshing, I guess. [She laughs.]

[fuckinghysterical]

Hey now, the crazy, "weirdo" types aren't too bad once you get to know them, are they? Heeheehee!

But hi! Long time, no see, hmm?

[axemeaquestion]

Not when the crazy weirdo types like cutting people's ears off for fun. You wouldn't cut off my ears off for fun. Right?

Hey! No shit, huh? How've you been?

[fuckinghysterical]

[She raises her brows with a smirk.] Not yours, heheheh!

[Not that she was actually really into chopping off ears, but she supposed it was an idea for whoever pissed her off enough.]

But me? I'm on some weird spaceship now! Even with getting lost in the hallways, I still go a hell of a lot more stir-crazy there than I ever did in the Port.

[axemeaquestion]

... Thanks. [please don't cut off anyone's ears sarina pls]

Really? So you went from a crazy Canadian city to a spaceship?

Oh hai! I know you!

[burger_tanker]

Now, don't be frettin' at all there, girl. the fact your mun there still got ya around means that she's still got good feelings on ya. I'm just hopin' it ain't got nothin' to do with that game thing we supposed to be in.

OH HEY. Long time no see!!

[axemeaquestion]

Coach!

You mean the one with the even weirder zombies? Yeah, me neither.

I KNOW!

[burger_tanker]

Yeah, it's all kinda weird. They got shit that's freakier lookin' than the jockey and somethin' that makes the Tank look like a damn ant. It ain't right!

I am pretty damn flattered that they think I'm still able t' move around like this though. I may not be some dodderin' Boomer, but I ain't duckin' and rollin' the way they got me in the video.

[axemeaquestion]

No shit, right? I'd rather fight a Tank army at that point.

I dunno, big guy. You're getting pretty nimble. Then again, I can't high kick worth a damn.
