[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?

As long as he's not moving his head and shoulders around too much, that'll be fine. If he's seated or prone, I can sneak up in human form; but if he's on his feet, I'll need the space to be shifted. Unless you find a make-out spot with a convenient footstool so I can reach that high.

[Stacia is a tiny girl. She knows she's a tiny girl. It's why she's made it a point to find out who will give her piggyback rides: those people can be affectionately bullied into letting her climb on them.

She rolls her eyes and gives him an affectionate smile.]

Hey, I haven't had to give you the "your blood belongs inside your body" talk. That puts you up on more people than I'd like to admit.

[hallelujahjunction]

I reckon we can manage that. We'll just have to find a room with a chair or something I can push him into, or vice versa. [Somewhere with a door to hide behind or something so Stacia can rush in the moment the opportunity presents itself.]

Oh, is that where blood's supposed to be?

[credit_not_blame]

I'll do some prowling around, see if I can find something appropriate. Or set something up, if I find a good location.

[That'll also give her some prep time for an additional plan...

She rolls her eyes and sticks her tongue out at Dan.]

Don't you even start! And 'internal bleeding' doesn't count either!

[hallelujahjunction]

Alright. I'll keep my eye out too. Also, if you see Planker in a particularly good or sleepy mood, let me know so I can come do some recon.

[Dan hasn't told Stacia or anyone but Bunny and Price about his ability to make people relive their emotions, but it could come in handy to make Planker more pliable.

He laughs.]

Internal bleeding is for folks without the guts to do it externally.

[credit_not_blame]

I don't think he has good moods, unless you count 'sadistic'.

[Stacia groans, covering her eyes briefly.]

I will fight you!
