It's like pulling teeth out there

Is that, uh... do you often do that with less trouble?

[azure_savior]

I wouldn't know.

This is the first time I've had the need to, seeing as how I usually never bother so much as sending a Father's Day card for my father.

[emorangerpink]

Ah.

Well, if you think you might need to do it again... maybe one of the people with outside connections could help. Commander Jin, or Karaba...

[azure_savior]

Hopefully this'll just be a one-time thing. I don't intend of making a habit of this but...

... Well if it keeps Rim's other self from killing me in my sleep I'll do it.

How many crazies talking about ancient gods the end of the world did you have to shove out of your way?

[Either the last mission is talking through him, or Werter knows about Arkham's reputation.]

[azure_savior]

Not many.

The problem was I needed a guy who was willing to go to the South Pole to deliver a message for me. And yeah the distance is a bit much but that's supposed to be their jobs.

... And this is the crap I have to go through to try to build a bridge that's burning from both directions.

[saikyocivrobo]

Just what is it that you want to send to your father, anyway?

[azure_savior]

A request...

... I was told by Liana that he's made several machines, so I... sent a request offering he send one to coordinates where we'll be able to pick it up.

I can't stop Rim from piloting... I don't have that right, but I can at least give her a machine she'd be more comfortable with.

... Even if every step of the way makes me want to punch someone.

[And Vlaska lets out an inquisitive mewl, pawing at Josh's leg and looking up at him.]

Josh. Alright? Sound. upset.

[azure_savior]

That...

[He sighs and squats down to begin scratching Vlaska behind his ears.]

That's putting it lightly.

[russianbluerobo]

[Vlaska purrs happily at the scratching, both eyes closing before one opened up to peek at Josh.]

Why. Upset?

[azure_savior]

I'm upset that it's so hard to be a Good Samaritan these days.

Especially when the person I'm trying to help is my own sister.

[amber_damsel]

[Hey look Josh it's your good sister.]

Josh? Why were you sending a courier to the South Pole?

[azure_savior]

[Thank God for that. If Rim was here it meant some of her coffee was too.]

... So your other you has something more her style to fight with.

[amber_damsel]

EH? For Liana?

[azure_savior]

I can't stop her from piloting, and if she is I'd rather it be in a machine she'd prefer. It would keep you safer at any rate if she had a machine more to her style.
