4th Wall Day

[shenghuanzhe]

Everyone just keep calm. These usually don't last more'n a couple'a days, awright? Just settle yourselves down.

[Kage lights up a cigarette and leans back in the deck chair on Deck 02.]

[luna_kitsu_blu]

Ack, we need to get around to fixing your relationship with that loser cook.

[shenghuanzhe]

What relationship.

[Kage snorts.]

He was a fuck, we fucked, he fucked off. Works for me.

[luna_kitsu_blu]

Which is why you were so pissy when you guys spoke last.

Either way, it wouldn't completely suck to be on good terms with him, right?

He'll get over that Erol thing eventually.

[shenghuanzhe]

...

[Kage grunts.]

Whoever th'fuck you are, I ain't talkin' about this kinda shit over a public comm.

[weaponxi]

Hello, Pappa.

[shenghuanzhe]

Hazar. Girly, how you doin'?

[weaponxi]

I have been performing my job well enough at home.

What about you? Are you getting any rest?

[shenghuanzhe]

Not nearly enough. You eatin' awright? Takin' care of yourself?

[thesecondrule]

[Can you hear the sound of crunching chips, Kage?]

I always found panic kind of exciting to watch.

[shenghuanzhe]

Tyler. Yeah, it's good.

[Kage can hear the crunching over the comm. Very nice, Tyler.]

Just makes my job harder. What you up to, man?

[thesecondrule]

Aww shucks. You know my name.

[Crunch crunch crunch. He laughs.]

Now telling you that would spoil the surprise.

[shenghuanzhe]

No shit I know your name, man.

[The hell is this?]

We hung out just a few days ago, Tyler. You havin' memory problems again?

[ttlynotawizard]

What lasts a few days?

[shenghuanzhe]

... if you ain't noticed that somethin's off, go play with string for a while, Whitecastle.

[ttlynotawizard]

You'd be a fool to not notice there's more arrivals than normal. Please don't tell me it's that.

[shenghuanzhe]

You won't remember any explanation I give when this wears off, so don't worry about it.

[illbestillalive]

Remember, the Aperture Science bring-your-daughter to work day is the perfect time to have her tested.

[shenghuanzhe]

Sounds awright, but tested for what? I know she ain't sick.

[illbestillalive]
