[Locked to New Hires]

[hallelujahjunction]

[Dan shows up on video, clearly on the muggy roof trying to get one of his contraband cigarettes in without ending up butterfly chow. It's put him in a good mood, adding the spice of daring-do to the morning smoke. He's got a sneaky grin on his face.

Better to actually get to work on doing something instead of wallowing in raw memories.]

Hypothetical question. [He glances over his shoulder and sees that none of the wildlife is about to attack him, then takes a drag.] If you could pick Planker's brain, what would you want to know?

[ In his bunk, Robbie actually cries “But he’s evil!!” aloud this time and can’t stop himself from falling into an internet argument loop. ]

I’m not saying people can’t have random hookups if that’s their thing, but he’s [ Evil. ] He’s a creepy sadist who stares at walls in his spare time!

[hallelujahjunction]

See, he's good at entertaining himself! That's a recommending quality if ever I heard one.

[walkingballpit]

You have no idea how much I want to save you from yourself right now.

[hallelujahjunction]

I get that a lot.

[walkingballpit]

Do you do things like this a lot?

[ Because that may be a clue. ]

Because, seriously, he’s evil, and you’re inviting him to a party in your pants. This whole thing could go Basic Instinct.

[hallelujahjunction]

Depends on how you define "like this" and "a lot" but yeah, I'd say I do.

[Winking.] Good thing I'm a professional at this sort of thing.

[walkingballpit]

Superhero spies just got a whole lot less sexy.

[ If this is what Black Widow and Invisible Kid get up to, please leave Robbie on the Brute Squad. ]

Not you specifically and not anything against your looks.

[hallelujahjunction]

It wouldn't be heroic if it were self-interested, after all.

[walkingballpit]

Frak heroic. It’s not willing.

[hallelujahjunction]

I’m willing. [Dan’s aware he uses promiscuity as a mean of self-harm, but he’s not anticipating a position where consent is an issue.] You don’t need to look the gift horse of having a Rig bicycle down to get up and personal with the staff in the mouth.

[walkingballpit]

Hey. Don’t call yourself that. You shouldn’t slut shame yourself.

[hallelujahjunction]

Who said nothing 'bout shame?

[walkingballpit]

You called yourself the Rig bicycle?

[ Where Robbie is from, that’s not a sex positive expression. ]

[hallelujahjunction]

Sure, and it ain't inaccurate nor nothing I'm ashamed of. We all got hobbies.
