[23:07] <> [23:07] <> "Hey, sirs. What';ll you have?" [23:08] uhh.. somethin' light but with a kick. I don't have anything specific in mind. [23:08] * Charlie is in quite the apathetic mood. Days of sitting around can do that. [23:08] * Taluun`tzo shrugs. "Just give me what he's getting." [23:09] <> [23:10] * Taluun`tzo stays standing, 'cuz there really isn't a place for him to sit. "So why does Tim hate this bird so much?" [23:12] Well, it's always followin' him around. [23:12] You know this bird, barkeep? [23:12] "Oh, yeah. Comes in here for a nightcap about eleven every night. Sometimes for breakfast, too. Usually the owner's with him, though." [23:15] * Charlie thinks. "Not sure if I've seen him around recently. He's bound to be somewhere." *he drinks a bit* [23:15] "He's sulking. He's getting paid, but he's sick of being cooped up here." [23:16] Aren't we all? [23:16] I think we all are. Our employers don't have much for us to do lately. [23:16] "Been rumours of a mass AWOL for a night, but you didn't hear that from me." [23:21] hmm.. hope it doesn't come at an inoportune time. [23:21] "Well, they don't mean wrong, they're just bored." [23:22] There might be some action on the horizon. I don't know how big it's gonna be. [23:22] * Taluun`tzo chugs some. [23:23] My suit is still in the shob though. *Charlie's down to a third of his drink left* [23:24] Mine isn't, but it's not doing me much good right now. [23:24] (shop, that is) [23:26] * Charlie nods [23:27] <> "Tough break, man. I know you officers got it rough." [23:28] "Though I don't know much about you, sir." <> [23:28] * Charlie shrugs "I'd love to be out there fighting, but nobody can predict where the bugs will show up." [23:30] "That's what they tell me." <> "No more, man, last time you had three you attacked the bar mirror." [23:32] * Taluun`tzo releases a whispy sound thru his gills. "I'm not surprised. It's odd being here, but I signed up to do something, not just sit around." [23:32] * Charlie puts down an empty glass. [23:32] <> [23:33] * Charlie nods at the bartender, "What did the send ya here for, exactly?" [23:33] (*they send) [23:36] * Taluun`tzo drinks some more. "I'm not completly sure. Kinda to just be here, the Egg didn't give any specifics. I think my superiors just wanted to get rid of me, though. Fine by me, never liked them anyways." [23:37] * Charlie laughs. "Well, it's bound to be good to get out of that cave." [23:38] Too bad you're stuck in this 'cave' [23:38] * Taluun`tzo grins, but not largely. "Yeah. Makes me want to break something." [23:39] Hopefully this new development will give us somethin' to do. [23:40] <> [23:40] <> [23:41] The bird's drunk. [23:42] "Yeah, just don't get your finger near his beak. He gets that way." [23:42] ... So he is. [23:42] * Taluun`tzo finishes drinking, putting the glass on the table a little hard. [23:43] * Charlie is down to half of his second one. [23:43] <> [23:44] Do you ever know what you're doing before you head out? Or are we going to be in the dark all the time? [23:45] Used to be that we'd have set missions.. Ever since we found you guys and the cube though, it's been a different story. [23:46] <> [23:47] Seems like we sit around waiting a lot more now. [23:47] At least you do something. [23:49] Yeah. I suppose you were hoping for some action by coming here. [23:50] All we did was train and sit around all day. Nothing ever interesting... I'm going to miss Ays'selyt though. [23:51] And yes, I was certainly hoping for action. And hopefully, I'll get to squish some bugs soon. [23:53] Yeah. I can't wait to get my suit back. [23:55] It was supposed to be here by now, wasn't it? [23:56] * Charlie leans back.. his glass is not quite empty. [23:56] Yeah. I don't know what happened. [23:56] Something about the nanites not holding together? [23:57] * Taluun`tzo drinks more from his uber-sized glass. "They shouldn't have a problem. I've never ran into that, anyways." [00:02] <> [00:02] Our guys probably just don't know how to deal with it correctly yet. [00:05] Nanites are self-sufficent. They shouldn't require any maintanence. [00:05] ooh, that looks like coulda hurt. [00:07] * Taluun`tzo picks Lenin up, looking over the bird. "Strange. Most stop when they've drunk too much."
