[video], also [action] if you're nearby Lente

[Why yes, Scott had a very clean New Year's. He prayed and then he went to bed. If you have your video on, you might see Scott in a small kitchen inside his little pristine barracks inside Lente. Yes I just now picked that RZ for his HQ. lol. He's busy mixing what appear to be avian eggs, although they have a lot of rainbow speckles on them, and he

AT LEAST YOU ONLY ASKED ONE QUESTION THIS TIME.

Permatext 100% <-- look what Hypatia taught him

[cloverdaleboy]

(: Just as important as the others.

[Uses smilies on her, then wonders if they will show up as images like in his chat program on Earth.]

Don't tell me you have a hangover.

Permatext! Permaencrypted! So proud :')

[notafuckingkid]

I'M NOT ANSWERING ANY OF THOSE.

EVIDENCE POINTS TO YOU HAVING ONE.

He has a filter just for you, called "Secret Lady"

[cloverdaleboy]

Sounds like denial. Don't worry, I'll mail you the directions.

[Why yes, your HUD may or may not ping just now with a recipe for this monstrosity he's making. Which is good for you, mind you.]

Just a little one. The alcohol here is pretty rough. [About as rough as Brody's still, he's thinking.]

1/2; FFFFFF. "Lady", eh?

[notafuckingkid]

OR YOU COULD MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS FOR---

2/2

[notafuckingkid]

DID YOU SERIOUSLY JUST SEND ME A RECIPE.

[cloverdaleboy]

Yeah, it's good for you. Especially if you have a hangover. Which is what I'm guessing.

[He's like COME ON no one could use information like a hangover against you! ...But he's not saying it, of course.]

[notafuckingkid]

I DON'T HAVE A HANGOVER. [Whoops she did answer one question.]

1/2

[cloverdaleboy]

Gotcha.

[No small victory, damn it. But Scott's smiling like the jerk he is.]

2/2

[cloverdaleboy]

Was that so hard?

[notafuckingkid]

FUCK YOU. [She's unfortunately about two seconds from disconnecting, though.]

[cloverdaleboy]

Don't worry, everything said here is safe with me. Have to admit, though, you must be very skilled to keep important and also unimportant things to yourself. [He wants to ask her what made her this way, but damn if he isn't getting wise up on the no-questions-asked rule with CT.]

[notafuckingkid]

YEAH? OR YOU'RE FUCKING FLATTERING ME TO GET MORE INFO OUT.

[cloverdaleboy]

[He laughs but you can't tell.]

No, I mean it. Either you were trained well or you've been hurt. I'm hoping for the former, but either way, I respect it.

[notafuckingkid]

[Wait "respect?" She's not sure how to react to that, really. Still, she's not disconnecting, so that's a step in the right direction.]

YOU'RE NOT GETTING AN ANSWER EITHER WAY.

[cloverdaleboy]

Fair enough. But don't mistake my teasing for information-seeking. Most of what I need to know is laid plain in your tone of voice. [Rather, text. but you get the idea.] Intelligent, protective, generous-- to a certain point.

[It just occurred to him...yeah, we never really said hi.] So what should I call you? That's a question you can answer, right? Code names are always useful.
