[locked] More Intel

[parannoyed]

In the spirit of sharing information that we found while monster-hunting [and on a separate post because like hell is he going to purposefully comment to Price] we also need to share what we found on one of the laptops while snooping around.

Apparently the company is worried about outside threats, someone called The Bey and some pirates, and a group called the Ryecatchers. They don't seem to think the pirates are much of a threat other than The Bey - maybe their leader? The person writing the memo thought the Ryecatchers were a worse threat.

Information about Jorgmund's enemies seems useful to know.

[She shouldn't be laughing, having an alien slug crawl into your head an enslave you is horrifying. But, oh Gaia, he just referred to Scientology as "the competition", she can't even.]

Yeah, that would certainly make it more complicated to go on press tours and do performances and the like. A stroke of luck for the people trying to fight back, that's for sure.

We're all going to feel really bad for making fun of them when we find out that they're perfectly nice people who like rubbing hallucinogens on their genitals.

...Or whatever the hell happened that caused the whole Salem witch trials debacle, I'm not actually all that clear on it.

Even with the Stuff, I would imagine it would be a little much to bring him back.

[fromfryingpantofire]

Pretentiousness can be survived, at least. Or ignored, for the most part. Long enough to be able to work with them, at least.

[fromfryingpantofire]

To the best of my knowledge, that didn't happen in my world. Also, unsurprisingly, the trials never got any real witches. Most of them are a lot better at hiding themselves.

[credit_not_blame]

Judging by what I know of history, if the Salem witch trials got any real witches, they were probably good witches who were just trying to help people.

[fromfryingpantofire]

You're not wrong. Not that we have a lot of those in my world, either, but we have a few. It tends to run in bloodlines rather than the darker kinds of magic that come from dealing with demons.

[prairietroubador]

Sam, I'm in a relationship with an actual Knight of the Round Table. Compared to that, an author comin' back from the dead ain't really that farfetched.

[fromfryingpantofire]

Okay. Wasn't expecting that one, but fair. I mean, I guess it wouldn't even be that weird on my world, in some ways.

[ Somewhere Ric is laughing so hard right now I swear. ]

[walkingballpit]

Coming back from the dead is far-fetched?

[ He sounds genuinely curious about this concept. ]

I mean it’s not like common but isn’t far-fetched a stretch?

[walkingballpit]

Hey can we not throw around words like mutated like there a bad thing? Have a little sensitivity.

Most of them essentially stopped leaving this part of California and had to cancel most plans. Some would travel to New York, but that place is so thickly populated it's difficult for a widely recognized individual to regularly reach the Pool unobserved. There were many requests for portable Pools, but those are a limited resource, and most of the Yeerks involved were not particularly highly ranked.

By the end of it there was some public comment about, what was it? the density of culture in the San Barbara district, or something to that effect?

[fuckingaqua]

I dunno, it's kinda been a while. First impressions are gonna be a huge deal. 'cause I'm not trying to challenge her authority or Game of Thrones her out of power. I just wanna have a good time.

So like... "Hey, girl. I'm really into the way you had that traitor executed. How about we go somewhere more private so you can tell me how you're gonna run the world, and we see what happens?"

[ Requisite eyebrow waggling goes here. If you aren't willing to throw the ball first, no Bey will ever hit it back. Reach for the stars. ]

[fuckingaqua]

Yeah, I kinda only got the sword by falling in a hole when I wasn't paying attention.

Which if you look on the bright side, I could totally demonstrate again.

[fuckingaqua]

I'm just saying you miss 100% of the shots you don't take! If I don't go for it and I find out too late that she's lowered her standards all the way down to where she might tolerate me, I'll.. I'll never be able to live with myself.

[fuckingaqua]

Dude, who's saying it like it's a bad thing? I'm gonna sit on her shoulder like a sexy parrot and treat her right while she lays waste to the Livable Zone.

Or saves it?

Wherever she's at morally these days.

[ragefeathers]

Bro, I hate to tell you this but she would never lower her standards that much. She's Beyoncé.

[fuckingaqua]

Then I'm gonna wear the honor of getting shot down by her like a kickass war medal. Doing this is the only thing I've ever wanted to commit to.

[prairietroubador]

I did say it was less improbable than a cowboy dating a literal Arthurian knight. Ain't sure what else you want from me.

[prairietroubador]

That ain't all you need to be thinkin' about. As I recall, the lady did say "If you liked it you shoulda put a ring on it."

[fuckingaqua]

Oh, gross! Who's thinking long-term in this economy?

[ragefeathers]

Okay man, your funeral. Just don't cry about it when she grinds your dick into powder with her heels or whatever.

[prairietroubador]

Hey pardner, I don't make the rules. Post-apocalyptic Beyoncé does.

[fuckingaqua]

[ The way that Kenzie organically speaks his language. If he looks like he is having fun, no he doesn't!!! No one can prove it. ]

I can't believe you're gonna cyber-bully me after all the gross shit we snooped through as a team. What are we even going to all the H.R. pep rallies for?
