[ A. Valentine's Day shenanigans? What Valentine's Day shenanigans?

Let's not talk about that. Why don't you check out China's new sweet ass tank instead? You know, the one rumbling along down the street in the direction of the bank?

[[And this would be Theta, limping along towards the tank. Those things aren't exactly meant for speed, and if she does her damnedest to ignore the pain she can limp pretty quickly in short bursts.

Tank.

Taaaaaank. *_*

Theta wants to touch it~. And if she gets close enough, she'll try!]]

[peonymarket]

[brb turning up the speed from 10 mph to 40 so you're left in the dust-

NO THAT WOULD BE VERY MEAN and China's not even aware that you're trying to keep up. He does come to a slow stop though to avoid crushing some non-drones.]

[ergaleomancer]

[[It stopped! This is Theta close enough to touch. This is Theta limping faster. This is Theta reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaching. This is Theta, patting the side of your tank. The look on her face is akin to a child with a kitten or puppy.]]

[peonymarket]

[The top opens and China pops his head out to get a breath of fresh air.

Oh hi. That's his tank you're touching.]

Ah?

A

[beamiracle]

[...why is there a tank]

[peonymarket]

[because YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH]

[beamiracle]

[/SCREAM

Actually, no, Lion will just watch the tank roll towards him in dumbfounded silence.]

[peonymarket]

[The turret swivels in Lion's direction.]

[hwamei]

[ When constantly trying to slam the door on his foot fails, ]

What do you want? [ why are you taking this job seriously, that's not right... ]

[peonymarket]

[in a voice that's definitely not tight with pain or anything-]

Aiyaaah, shut up and read this.

[He opens his briefcase and hands over a copy of the note and addendum, the smile gone from his face.]

[hwamei]

[ She takes the note and reads it, but she stops after the second paragraph. ]

"He can hear us?"

[peonymarket]

[He just nods, looking grim.]

B

[sanctusdei]

[Theo is your frequently bored and crabby coworker and he's wondering why you've been at that machine all day.]

You're going to overheat that thing.

[peonymarket]

[A little startled, then puts on his own grumpy face.]

.....will not. It be fine.

[sanctusdei]

[He's totally sneaking a peek over you to see what you've been making so many copies of.]

[peonymarket]

[Plays the "NO IT'S A SECRET!!" game for like ten seconds, then just shows it to Theo.]

B

[scentofbauhinia]

[trying to be inconspicuous, you say? well obviously Hong Kong's going to mildly ruin that and be nosey... is he really triad hq...

ANYWAY, leeeeaning on the machine now and nomming on a sping roll]

Like, what are you doing, teacher?

[also tanks make him kind of edgy... especially Chinese commie ones. so if he's been avoiding you a bit today, until now, that's why.]

[peonymarket]

[Sorry broson, teacher just wanted to show off what little firepower he has right now. It helps him put the reality of their relative helplessness in this town way in the back of his mind.

Anyways, he glances around to make sure there aren't any drones nearby and pushes a copy of the note and addendum over to Hong Kong.]

See for yourself.

[scentofbauhinia]

[He stuffs the remainder of the food in his mouth as his eyes flick over the two things. Only briefly over the note though, as he recognises it almost immediately.

In hushed tones:] Oh, yeah. I like, typed this up on my laptop so it's saved somewhere.

...That Billy kid really is a freak. Me and Charles like, snuck upstairs to look around when the Smiths had a house party. He caught us. Totally lucky he didn't set us on fire.

[peonymarket]

Ah, good. Can never have enough back-ups.

[goes back to making copies, putting the finished ones in his briefcase as he talks]

What he say?
