Days go by and they all SUCK

reluctant, meeting with the devils boss, don't you dare backstab me

the first tag is relevant to Crawford's interests. :| clairvoyeur October 20 2010, 04:40:17 UTC

[Crawford may or may not have known this was coming.

Oh, who're we kidding? He's Brad Crawford, the Oracle of Schwarz.

The knowledge is visible--it's in the crease of his suit, the absently unobtrusive bulge of his shoulder holster, the promptness with which the knock on the door is answered and the faintly amused tug of lips that keeps the smile on his face safely in the realm of 'smirk.' He's also nodding the other man in without complaint or even unnecessary baiting. Civil conversation isn't horribly distressing coming from this member of Schwarz, is it?]

weiss_tank October 20 2010, 04:50:50 UTC

[Not horribly distressing because at least Crawford tends towards civil conversation if he isn't right up shooting you.]

So, do I need to explain or do you already know why I'm here.

clairvoyeur October 20 2010, 05:04:52 UTC

It's not really an offer if you don't actually ask it yourself, Siberian.

weiss_tank October 20 2010, 05:06:26 UTC

[He's just going to SIGH at you. Stupid Oracle, making things hard]

Alright, so ya know I talked to Berserker the other day...and he went on 'bout the same things you did about working together.

I...dunno if I can BUT I've spoken to our current outside Weiss leader and she said to talk to you. Can I come in? I don't want any drones really hearing about this.

clairvoyeur October 20 2010, 12:03:33 UTC

[...oh, this is going to be fun. No precognition necessary to see that with absolute clarity.

Moving to gesture the Weiss into the living room does, of course, mean the slightest flash of the leather straps holding the gun to his shoulder. It's not the worst thing in the world. Like a silent "go on before the patient civility is forgotten in favour of a chaotic expression of discontent."]

weiss_tank October 20 2010, 14:35:02 UTC

[Ken's a little too well trained not to see that flash of leather.]

You're too kind. [He moves just inside the door and shuts it behind him and keeps his back to it]

Her name is Major General Olivier. She needs the hands. It wouldn't be directly workin' with us but still working to get us all the fuck out of here.

[He's trying to make this brief.]

clairvoyeur October 21 2010, 00:40:17 UTC

[This is not allowed to be easy or brief. It's far too amusing to see kittens squirm.

So have a politely inquisitive frown.]

All of us?

weiss_tank October 21 2010, 02:21:25 UTC

Yes all of us. You, me, everyone stuck here against their will. What did you think I would come here with an offer that would just benefit you?

[He gives Crawford the 'Are you stupid' look]

clairvoyeur October 21 2010, 03:25:24 UTC

You'll forgive me for not being instantly sympathetic to that cause.

weiss_tank October 21 2010, 03:28:42 UTC

Yeah yeah. But one would think it works towards yours too. You think you guys can do it on your own?

Look, it's what I can offer. Besides, I think even you might be able to respect the MG.

clairvoyeur October 21 2010, 04:29:23 UTC

[It's the sort of thing that would make a lesser man laugh. Crawford instead settles for a brief look of consideration.]

I expect you'll want something from us in return.

weiss_tank October 21 2010, 04:30:58 UTC

Yeah. Don't fuck her over like your last two bosses ok? We kinda need her.

[So he only knows half the story, but it's what he's got to go with. He doesn't want to bargain with Oracle because he knows he will most likely come out worse in the end. Briefly he wishes Aya were here. Aya's better at this sort of thing.]

clairvoyeur October 21 2010, 04:54:28 UTC

...to be clear. You're offering the... possibility that we'll be returned to our own timeline. For this faint chance, you're asking us to surrender our resources and a promise to stay on our best behavior.

weiss_tank October 21 2010, 04:59:03 UTC

That about sums it up. Don't get all snotty, it's the same chances for all of us. We're all hanging our hopes on a 'maybe'.

Shit, I know it might not work but I'm gonna try anyways. Better then just sitting around and letting a sentient town do whatever the fuck it wants.

All I ask is that you talk to her. What you two decide is none of my business.

clairvoyeur October 21 2010, 16:36:00 UTC

[Sometimes it's good to share your emotions. And sometimes it's good to be able to lie with a straight face.

Which time is this, Ken? Can you guess?]

Very well.

weiss_tank October 21 2010, 18:07:42 UTC

[He would take 'lies' for 300 there Alex.]

Alright, good, I think there isn't anything else...[He's sure he hasn't forgotten anything.]
