If I ever suggest that getting kidnapped by aliens would be a fun way to spend a day, please knock me out. It'd save a lot of trouble.

I'm not exactly very good at these things, but... thank you to everyone who helped get me out of there. Really. I owe you one, and if you ever need anything... yeah. Right. Anyway

Wait, wait, wait, don't tell me while I was hiding out in my very fashionable bunker you got kidnapped?

[tehpuck]

Oh, the same results could be bought by simply asking me to play.

Oh, so terrible, but a burden I'm willing to bear.

Shoot.

[kittyjones]

You're only saying that because you haven't played me yet.

Yes, you shoot. With guns. Glad to see you're grasping the basics. ...Jokes aside, they fight as a unit, near perfect teamwork, which can make it tricky to get past them. And there are a lot of them - more than can be killed, I think. So the best plan is to keep moving as quickly as you can, get what you came for and get out. And... once you've taken your friend out of her machine, there's a good chance you'll have to carry her.

[tehpuck]

Kitty. I invented poker.

Then our biggest problem will be the sheer numbers. Ah. Well... carrying is no problem! We did that last time.

[kittyjones]

...Which means your game is probably getting sloppy by now?

Pretty much, sorry. But if you've had practice at rescuing, then I'm sure you'll be fine. Just... be careful, would you?

[tehpuck]

...No. Try again.

Yes, because I'm so altruistic and reckless, so rarely cautious, and haven't survived a thousand wars, I'll keep your advice in mind, I surely wouldn't have done that no matter what you said.

[kittyjones]

Hey, a girl can dream.

I'm sure we've talked about this before, you know: annoying and often-pointless concern is how most people show they care.

[tehpuck]

Of me? Feel free to.

"Most people" being those who think my name is Rob Fellows, and I'm merely a charming and successful car salesman. You're selling yourself short for the people I regularly con, Kitty.

[kittyjones]

...Right. Thanks for the permission.

Would you prefer it if I told you to get yourself killed, rather than to be careful?

[tehpuck]

You're welcome. Any time.

Kitty, if I thought you liable to tell me that, I'd not talk to you in the first place.

[kittyjones]

For all you know, I could be an evil psychopath.

[tehpuck]

I think I'd have noticed that, by now. Give me some credit, here.

[kittyjones]

I'm subtle.

[tehpuck]

Because that's such a common trait found in psychopaths.

[kittyjones]

You know me: I don't follow the trends, I set them.

[tehpuck]

You know, most people and, ah, the occasional historian, attribute that quality to me, don't you?
