Valent1ne: hey harkee :)
[Team] Othinn: 0
Harkee: Hey Valent1ne.
CutySuzuki: Greetings Harkee... what brings you to Sai Kung =)
Harkee: Well I was wondering if Catzi and Skyscream were still putting on Monday Night Fight Club but apparently they aren't doing it this week.
CutySuzuki: ahh... =(
CutySuzuki: its been a quiet week...
Othinn: I heard they're experimenting with a new format for that.
Harkee: I know, it's a shame. But I can understand. Apparently Catzi has been pretty busy recently.
Harkee: Really? Well then that could be why!
[Tell] To Othinn: 0
[Tell] Othinn: 0
Harkee: Hopefully they can get it back up again! Everyone really enjoyed.
Othinn: I'm sure they will.
*Harkee nods.*
Harkee: Well that's all I'm here for. What are you three doing here?
Valent1ne: standing around
Othinn: Same.
Harkee: How exciting. Hehe.
CutySuzuki: I'm about to go to the satellite to decompile =)
CutySuzuki: Can never have too much clothes ^_^
*Shaylynn is offline.*
Harkee: Haha! Too true.
Valent1ne: hehe
*CutySuzuki giggles at Harkee.*
*CutySuzuki gives Valent1ne the thumbs up.*
Harkee: Harkee yawns.
*Harkee stretches.*

Harkee: Oh, Valent1ne, did you get a copy of my email I sent out today? I didn't add you to my list until just now.
Valent1ne: no i didn't
Harkee: I'll forward it to you now.
Valent1ne: kk
Harkee: Oh, and another thing! Who is the leader of the Vixens?
*DarkRider664 points Harkee upward.*
CutySuzuki: Well, I am off now =) See you all around =)
Valent1ne: asagi :)
Valent1ne: you interested in joining?
*ShadowTheCat is offline.*
Valent1ne: cya later cuty :)
Harkee: Ahh, okay. Thank you. And no, I'm good! Hehe
*Felton is offline.*

*DarkRider664 hugs Harkee.*
Harkee: Hey Dark.
*none (Allow)*
DarkRider664: Hey.
*Recursion.exivy is in The Matrix.*
DarkRider664: Kinda busy helping someone out at the moment, heh, they just asked of me.
*Harkee stretches.*
DarkRider664: Plus it's fun scaring the locals.
*You target [DarkRider664] the level 50 Expert Rifleman.*
*[DarkRider664] is friendly.*
Harkee: Okay.
*You are wondering about something.*
*EvilSuzuki is in The Matrix.*
*Eleutherophobia is in The Matrix.*
Harkee: Hey, have you two heard anything about that guy I was just talking to?
Othinn: No. I don't think so.
Valent1ne: DR?
Harkee: Okay, just wondering. He's the only Machinist that seems interested in me. He talks to me all the time. I was just curious if you knew if he had any other motives.
Harkee: Yeah.
Valent1ne: oh, i know lots about him....
Harkee: Really? Anything I should know about?
Valent1ne: yeah, probably
Valent1ne: it's kind of a long story
Harkee: Well you don't have to tell me it. I was just curious.
XElite: Hey Harkee.
Harkee: Hey XElite!
XElite: How'v ya been?
Harkee: I've been pretty good, actually. How about you?
XElite: How've*
XElite: I've been doing good too thanks.
Harkee: That's good!
XElite: It was a shame about that Morpheus sim....
Harkee: Yeah, it was. But it wasn't unexpected.
XElite: I wonder though... if it's likeness is close enough to that of Morphues...
Harkee: And at least we know the truth now instead of wondering.
XElite: could it have the same motivations?
XElite: Morpheus*
Harkee: I'm sure it could, actually. It's a sim, and it's obviously started thinking for itself.
XElite: Definitely. Or so it would appear.
XElite: Hmm.... if it did decide to help the Zion cause...
XElite: I wonder how or if it would be accepted.
*Catzi is offline.*
XElite: I better be off anyways.
*SilkPhoenix is offline.*
XElite: Good to see you again.
*none (Allow)*
*XElite gives Harkee some dap.*
Harkee: I don't know. It definitely wouldn't take the place of the real Morpheus, but it might be a good ally.
Harkee: It was good seeing you too, X. Take care.
XElite: Thanks, you too.
Harkee: Harkee yawns.
*Harkee stretches.*
*Recursion.exivy is offline.*
*Recursion.ZippyTheSquirrel is in The Matrix.*
DarkRider664: Guess that person didn't need me after all to help them.
Harkee: Oh okay.
*You target [DarkRider664] the level 50 Duelist.*
*[DarkRider664] is friendly.*
DarkRider664: So you three are kinda stuck with me.
Othinn: Sorry for bringing up a potentially unpleasant subject, Harkee, but is Nicho still bothering you?
Harkee: He hasn't talked to me in a while really. Why?
Othinn: I was just wondering. Sorry.
Harkee: That's fine. But he hasn't bothered me recently.
*Media Player Error :
Othinn: That's good to hear.
*Harkee nods.*
DarkRider664: Well if Nicho gives you a problem, tell me about it.
Harkee: I just might. Thank you.
Harkee: You leaving, Valent1ne?
Valent1ne: yep, caio
Harkee: Alright. See you later.
DarkRider664: Who you helping?
DarkRider664: Or not....
DarkRider664: Oh geez, hey again guys.
Diablito: sup man
*Asagi is in The Matrix.*
*Harkee looks around.*
Diablito: we still doing mish's to get his box 4 lol
DarkRider664: Heh.
*You are wondering about something.*
Harkee: By the way, I like your new look, Othinn.
Othinn: Thank you. The old coat finally decayed. Now I'm waiting for this one to do so.
Othinn: Hello Asagi.
Harkee: The new coat is a nice touch!
Asagi: helloes
DarkRider664: Heh, thought that was your usual outfit.
Harkee: Hey Asagi!
Asagi: heyas!
DarkRider664: Geez, more Vixens again.
Othinn: Hmm. Guess she didn't have time to talk.
Harkee: Guess not.
*Your mission team has been disbanded!*
*Harkee has joined the mission team.*
*Othinn has joined the mission team.*
*Harkee is now the leader of your mission team.*
DarkRider664: Too much fighting at Tabor West, she's off to join in.
Othinn: Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.
*Recursion.Toluca is offline.*
DarkRider664: If they're still fighting of course.
*You surround yourself with a Gaussian Blur!*
[Team] Harkee: Whoops! I didn't mean to start a team. Sorry about that. But now that you're here...
Harkee: What's going on in Tabor West?
DarkRider664: Oh not much, nothing that might interest you.
[Team] Harkee: I've read your Archival Science in a Post-War Simulation site and it's really nice. But I'd really appreciate it if you left out the part about me asking you about DarkRider. I don't want him getting wind that I'm suspicious of him.
Harkee: Hmm, okay.
[Team] Othinn: Ah. Sure thing.
Harkee: You've peaked my interest, though!
[Team] Harkee: Thank you very much! I knew you'd understand. We just need to keep a few things to ourselves. Hehe.
DarkRider664: Well you can always go find out, but like I said, the fighting's over.
[Team] Othinn: *nods*
Harkee: Eh, I'm sure I wouldn't have been much help anyway.
*Your mission team has been disbanded!*
*none (Allow)*
*Chat is already being logged. Use /logstop to stop logging.*
Harkee: Harkee yawns.
*Harkee stretches.*
DarkRider664: Well, do we have anything else to talk about, since I think I can see tumble weed rolling past.
*Recursion.Sugaree is in The Matrix.*
Harkee: Hah! No, I think we've moved past meaningful conversation and have moved into chit-chat.
*You have successfully changed your RSI's mood.*
DarkRider664: Heh.
Harkee: Is anything interesting going on with you two?
Othinn: Not right now. Just the usual patrolling and missions.
DarkRider664: Well besides this one program telling me what might happen to me and this girl, not much.
Harkee: That's cool, I guess.
*Othinn has joined the mission team.*
*You are now the leader of your mission team.*
*Mission team created.*
[Team] Othinn: 0
[Tell] To Othinn: 0
[Tell] Othinn: 0
DarkRider664: Anything interesting going on with you Harkee?
Harkee: Besides sitting here with you cool chaps, nope!
Othinn: Heh.
*Nemases is offline.*
DarkRider664: Oh geez, now that damn program wants help, guess I'm off to help her then.
Harkee: Alright. Take care, Dark!
DarkRider664: I'll be back later, hopefully.
*Your Gaussian Blur has faded away.*
Othinn: He certainly seems like he wants to help people.
*Tysias is offline.*
*Asagi is offline.*
Harkee: Sure does.
*Asagi is in The Matrix.*
[Tell] DarkRider664: (Brewko, Tabor West I think)
Othinn: How's the crew of the Logos II?
*Tysias is in The Matrix.*
[Tell] To Othinn: 0
[Tell] Othinn: 0
Harkee: They're just splendid. Niobe's...sorta... gotten past her rage about the Morpheus sim. Ghost is as pensive as ever.
Harkee: And Stigmatism and Trepetia are doing great!
Othinn: That's good. I helped repair something on my hovercraft earlier, and apparently got some sore arm muscles because of it. It should be fine by tomorrow.
*Othinn holds his left wrist with his right hand and rotates it a bit.*
Harkee: Well be sure to rest your arm! I'm sure it will get better.
Othinn: Thank you.
Othinn: Sorry if I'm a bit of a bore.
Harkee: Psh. As if I'm any more interesting. You aren't a bore.
Othinn: Thanks. I guess it's good that nothing hectic is going on. Gives me some time to do other things as I wait for the next big thing to happen.
Harkee: Mm-hmm. It's nice to sit back and relax instead of running around doing stuff.
Othinn: Definitely.
Othinn: Never know who you run into when you're just sitting back.
Harkee: Yeah. Tons of people have run by us while we're just sitting here.
*Valent1ne is offline.*
Othinn: Sai Kung Central is a fairly popular hardline from what I've seen.
Harkee: I didn't know that, actually.
Othinn: Yeah, I tend to see a lot of people here.
*Valent1ne is in The Matrix.*
Othinn: Though Tabor West definitely brings a crowd.
Harkee: Hmm, I have a question, actually. Do you know of any people that have switched organizations recently? When I sent out my email to my list, I got a few replies telling me that so-and-so had switched organizations and I wasn't aware of it.
Harkee: Maybe you're more up to date with that. Do you know anyone?
Othinn: Hmm. I'm not sure. I'm pretty neutral, so I don't really mind when people change organizations. I guess I don't really notice it most of the time.
Harkee: Okay. Just checking.
Othinn: It's all right. Thanks for asking, though.
[Team] Othinn: 0
Othinn: Busy people.
Othinn: Hello Free.
Freelancer117: Hello Othinn. Am I interrupting something?
Othinn: Oh, no. Just hanging out with Harkee. She claims she's more boring than I am. I'm sure I can find some proof to the contrary.
Harkee: Harkee laughs.
Harkee: Psh. Whatever!
Othinn: Heh.
[Team] Othinn: 0
Othinn: How are you, Free?
[Tell] To Othinn: 0
[Tell] Othinn: 0
Freelancer117: Well enough, I suppose.
Othinn: Good, good.
Freelancer117: You?
Othinn: Pretty good.
Freelancer117: Good to hear.
Othinn: Pardon me for prying, Harkee, but do you have any long term goals?
Harkee: Goals for what?
*Skyscream is offline.*
Othinn: Anything, I guess. Trying to make conversation.
Freelancer117: You know, I don't think we've formally met, Harkee. I'm James Thompson, or Freelancer, whichever you prefer./leanwallloop
Freelancer117: ((Stupid chat window...))
*Eleutherophobia is offline.*
Harkee: Well, I hope to be a good liaison and actually keep up with things every once in a while. And I really want to unite Zion. We're too seperated and spread out. We need to work together.
*Akilina is offline.*
*Othinn nods.*
Freelancer117: *laughs* Ah... idealism... I remember that...
Harkee: It's true what the General said. Before, Zion used to have the fires of war burning within them. But now...
Harkee: Well... let's just say there is room for improvement.
Freelancer117: Now, we're a bunch of bickering children looking for fights to pick...
Harkee: And hi, Freelancer. No, we haven't met before, but I'm glad to meet you now!
Othinn: I'm glad I never saw the war, though. I'm not sure I'd want to fight. I'm more of a diplomat. Or at least that's the way I see myself.
Freelancer117: Glad to meet you, too.
*EvilSuzuki is offline.*
Freelancer117: The war was hell Othinn... I'm glad I saw it, though.
[Team] Othinn: 0
*CutySuzuki is in The Matrix.*
Harkee: Oh, me too! I'm glad I didn't have to go through the fear people went through when they ran from the sentinels. And I'm glad I didn't have to witness my home in Zion being destroyed by them.
*Othinn nods.*
Harkee: But it would have been nice to meet people who were willing to do anything for what they believe in. Like Morpheus and Neo and Trinity.
Othinn: I encountered Morpheus once during the whole code bombing incident. That's about it.
Freelancer117: The war was a time for heroes... now...
Harkee: Lucky you! The closest I've come to him was that sim.
Othinn: Not sure it could be called lucky. He was talking about his disappointment in redpills defusing his bombs. Then Ookami and her Lupines showed up and attacked.
Othinn: This was at Hammersfield Court in Eshean, by the way.
Harkee: Yes, Freelancer. Now people can get by with sitting back and watching this cold war unfold. If you did that back then, you'd probably be dead.
Freelancer117: You don't have to tell me. I'm a vet of that war. Was fighting differently back then, though...
*You target [Freelancer117] the level 50 Kung Fu Grandmaster.*
*[Freelancer117] is friendly.*
[Team] Othinn: 0
Harkee: It really seperated the heroes from the rest of the group. Now I'm not so sure we have heroes anymore.
Othinn: Hmm ...
Harkee: I'm glad you made it out of that war alive, Freelancer.
Freelancer117: The heros are the ones fighting for justice and honor, now. They'll never admit to being heroes, though.
[Tell] To Othinn: 0
[Tell] Othinn: 0
Freelancer117: I'm not, Harkee. Seeing what came after is making me regret the fighting I did...
Harkee: That's true. And yes, you're right, they're out there. It's just more uncommon than it was back then.
Harkee: Really? Why do you say that?
*Vector-Hostile.Dreami is offline.*
Freelancer117: Look at us! You'd have never seen people working for that damn Frenchman back then! The Machines I can understand, but not that self-centered, glorified mob-boss....
*Monday, June 18, 2007 11:57 PM*
*Bouyancy is in The Matrix.*
Freelancer117: Then, you have the bickering... EPN is beyond childish... they have heart, though...
Harkee: Haha, that's true. People we tried to awaken thinking they would be a great asset to our cause and people we believed deserved to know the truth have stabbed us in the back to work for that man.
*Akilina is in The Matrix.*
Freelancer117: Zion's lost its morals, too... the ideals I fought for during that war? They're dead now.
Freelancer117: 'course, war is all I've ever known, so I'd probably have fought anyway...
Harkee: I think it would be hard not to fight. When people you know and love are killed all the time by the Agents and the sentinels, it would be hard to stand by and watch that.
Freelancer117: I had no loved ones at the time... they were all dead by that point...
[Tell] jl10899: where was the event and what was it
[Tell] To jl10899: (Machine event on Recursion a few hours ago.)
Harkee: It seems like that would give you even more conviction, then.
[Tell] jl10899: omg i missed it, was it cyph or mech
[Tell] To jl10899: (Machine, I think.)
[Tell] jl10899: (damn)
Freelancer117: Well... I take that back... There were my brother and sister... but they were safe at the time. They were blues. They died shortly after the war, though.
Harkee: Aww, I'm sorry. What happened to them?
[Tell] jl10899: ( i got 2 50's there a mech and a cyph both )
Freelancer117: I was responsible for their deaths...
[Team] Othinn: 0
Freelancer117: It's a long story...
Harkee: Okay. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.
Freelancer117: No... I've come to terms with it...
*Recursion.Sugaree is offline.*
*Recursion.ZippyTheSquirrel is offline.*
Rezzurection: doesnt matter
Freelancer117: The Merv killed them after I failed an assassination attempt on him... I failed horribly, and I paid for it. I shouldn't have even been there... but I wanted vengeance...
[Team] Othinn: 0
Harkee: Wow. I'm so sorry.
Freelancer117: Yeah... he killed my parents, too, but that was 14 years earlier, and I didn't find out until after the war...
Harkee: How did he manage that?
[Tell] To Othinn: 0
[Tell] Othinn: 0
Freelancer117: He sent an assassin to kill another exile trying to horn in on his business... my parents died in the ensuing shootout.
[Team] Othinn: 0
Freelancer117: They were innocent bystanders...
Harkee: I see. That's a shame.
Freelancer117: Yeah... well... what can you do?
Harkee: Kill the Merovingian. But that wouldn't really solve anything.
Freelancer117: I tried. That's how my siblings died.
[Team] Othinn: 0
Freelancer117: "Casuality" he said...
Harkee: Of course he would. That bastard.
Freelancer117: That was the moment I decided to take personal feelings out of my work... but, anyway...
Harkee: Well it's probably for the best.
Freelancer117: Sometimes I wonder...
[Team] Othinn: 0
Harkee: Wonder what?
*all (Allow)*
*CutySuzuki is offline.*
Freelancer117: I lot a lot of my youthful idealism that day. That's why I'm the cynic you see today. What I wonder is if being impersonal is for the best. I detatch myself from everyone, so as to make it easier to do whatever is asked of me.
Freelancer117: lost*
*areyl is offline.*
Harkee: Detaching yourself isn't really a good thing. You'd save yourself a lot of pain but you'd also be denying yourself a lot of joy.
*You are now using the Self Defense martial arts style.*
[Tell] To Othinn: 0
[Tell] Othinn: 0
Freelancer117: This is true, but I can't really afford personal attatchments. Unfortunately... it's easier said than done.
Freelancer117: I always seemed to get involved in everyone elses problems...
*areyl is in The Matrix.*
[Team] Othinn: .
Harkee: Yeah, easier said than done.
*Enalius beckons Vengeis.*
Freelancer117: Take this last week for example... nah... I'm sure your tired of hearing my whine about how bad I've had it...
Freelancer117: you're*
*Zaiken waves.*
Harkee: Not at all. It's nice to get to know my fellow operatives.
*You stretch.*
Freelancer117: Well... last week, there was an epidemic in Edgewater... an exile named Mendelvius, a disease control program, infected hundreds of people... I got involved, but I wasn't able to save anyone... I took that harder than I should have...
Freelancer117: Mendelvius is gone now, but even though I know he's the sole cause of it... I can't help feeling responsible.
[Team] Othinn: 0
Harkee: You shouldn't feel that way. I really don't know what to tell you except that you shouldn't have taken that so hard on yourself.
Freelancer117: I know... but a few days earlier, I'd had the opportunity to kill that bastard... but I let him live... out of mercy...
Freelancer117: I guess that's what really weighs on me.
Freelancer117: It never gets any easier...
[Team] Othinn: 0
Harkee: I'm sorry that happened. But like I said, you shouldn't take that too hard on yourself. Everything happens for a reason.
Freelancer117: I just can't believe that, Harkee. Plenty of stuff goes on without any sort of grand reasoning behind it.
Harkee: What makes you so sure there isn't a grand reason behind something?
Freelancer117: Look around you... serial killers, rapists, murderers... there's no grand reason behind that... just malice...
[Tell] To Othinn: .
[Tell] Othinn: .
Freelancer117: The only comfort I find is in continuing to try to save people and killing those that choose to threaten the innocent.
*You target [id10t1c4l] the level 38 Karate Master.*
*[id10t1c4l] is friendly.*
*You are now using the Hacker Style martial arts style.*
*You enter combat.*
*You restore 90 health to id10t1c4l!*
*You restore 90 health to id10t1c4l!*
*You restore 15 health to id10t1c4l!*
id10t1c4l: thanks
*You restore 15 health to id10t1c4l!*
*You restore 15 health to id10t1c4l!*
*You leave combat.*
*You restore 15 health to id10t1c4l!*
*You restore 15 health to id10t1c4l!*
*Elite Guard was just killed by id10t1c4l.*
Harkee: But the effect it has on other people could lead them to do great things. Maybe someone, after having their child murdered, would go on to be a great police officer and saving countless lives.
*Elite Guard was just killed by id10t1c4l.*
*You enter combat.*
*You restore 90 health to id10t1c4l!*
*You leave combat.*
Freelancer117: Yeah, but that's not the reason, that's the result. What about the child who grows up in an abusive home and goes on to become a murderer?
[Tell] To Othinn: .
[Tell] Othinn: .
Harkee: Then he would go on to kill the child who's mother or father becomes a national hero or something. In the grand scheme of things, who's to say that murderer didn't have a hand in saving the world?
Freelancer117: Who's to say he did?
Harkee: Well, I guess nobody. But still, we don't know if there is a master plan to all of this. But I'd rather remain optimistic about it all.
Freelancer117: I admire that, but after what I've seen people do... I can't share that point of view. All I can do is fight to try and prevent such terrible things from happening.
Harkee: And, you see, you wouldn't have had such a purpose without first witnessing the terrible events in the first place.
*DarkRider664 waves to Harkee.*
*DarkRider664 waves to you.*
Harkee: Welcome back, Dark.
DarkRider664: Glad to be back, been working a little to hard.
Freelancer117: No, I had that purpose before witnessing those sorts of things... like I said, I've been a soldier all my life.
Freelancer117: Fighting is all I know how to do, might as well fight for the innocent.
[Team] Othinn: 0
Harkee: ...
Harkee: Alright, you got me there. Hehe.
Freelancer117: Anyway... how'd you get awakened Harkee? If you don't mind my asking...
DarkRider664: Here, read this.
DarkRider664: DarkRider664 opens up his PDA and types in a few things and tosses it up to Freelancer.
DarkRider664: Oh, and don't ask how I got it, I just happen to have a few files on people.
Freelancer117: If that's an intel file, I could have pulled one up myself. I am a Zion "Intel" Officer, afterall. Thought I'd ask to hear it in her own words.
Freelancer117: But, thanks.
[Team] Othinn: 0
DarkRider664: Alright, pass that PDA back.
Freelancer117: Freelancer117 tosses DarkRider his PDA back.
Harkee: Well, I had a brother. One day he disappeared and after that I was pretty upset and I didn't know what to do wih my life. Eventually, a Zion crew contacted me and they showed me the truth.
DarkRider664: DarkRider664 fumbles to catch it and drops it.
Freelancer117: Sorry, Dark...
Freelancer117: I'm sorry to hear about your brother, Harkee.
DarkRider664: My fault, I dropped it, good thing I coded it to self repair.
Freelancer117: Yeah, that is a handy little feature.
Harkee: That's alright. In a way, he's still with me.
Freelancer117: Freelancer117 pulls a cigarette from the carton in his pocket, puts it to his lips, and lights it with a custom Zippo lighter.
Freelancer117: I know what you mean. Memories don't die.
*Othinn nods.*
Harkee: Harkee nods.
DarkRider664: Too true.
Freelancer117: Freelancer117 begins field stripping and reassembling his pistol, over and over.
DarkRider664: Word to the wise, never help a program with a few missions they have.
Freelancer117: Yeah, learned that one a while back.
DarkRider664: Just learnt it now, and it hurts.
[Team] Othinn: 0
Freelancer117: It's funny... never really realized how much I've come to rely on this weapon... had the "Ace of Spades" for a long time now...
Freelancer117: One of three things I'm overly sentimental about, I guess...
Freelancer117: So, which program did you get burned by, Dark?
Harkee: Ace of Spades?
DarkRider664: A Evangelus.
Freelancer117: Yeah. I named my handgun...
Harkee: Oh. Haha. Well that's cool.
Freelancer117: Evangelus, huh? Seen her around.
DarkRider664: Just hope someone on my crew knows massage techniques or I'm ****ed.
Othinn: ...
DarkRider664: Well I wouldn't be able to get off my bunk once I lie down on it.
Freelancer117: Yeah... just seemed to fit, Harkee. Wherever I take it, death is dealt.
*Ieena cheers for Sephr1.*
Harkee: Haha. Nice.
Freelancer117: Yep. A little character quirk of mine, I guess. I had another one before I got the "Ace". Named that one, too.
Harkee: What did you name it?
Sephr1: Seems we keep running into people...
*You must be standing to use this ability.*
[Team] Othinn: .
DarkRider664: Well I hear the waterfront in this area is quiet.
Sephr1: *nods* Usually.
Sephr1: Not used to seeing zionites... Or machines in this area...
Freelancer117: The "Jack of Diamonds". I have a thing for cards... that, and I always have my pistols chambered for a .52 custom round. Another quirk of mine.
Sephr1: Ready Leena?
*Sephr1 points Ieena upward.*
Harkee: You seem very quirky. Hehe.
Ieena: Yes, Daddy.
DarkRider664: .52 custom round, that must of hurt if you were hit by it.
Freelancer117: Wait... did she just say Daddy?
Freelancer117: So that's his daughter...
DarkRider664: Well that was stupid in me thinking of other things.
Freelancer117: Anyway, yeah. I chamber them in .52 for a reason.
Harkee: And what would that reason be?
DarkRider664: 52, the number of cards.
Freelancer117: Yep.
[Team] Othinn: .
DarkRider664: Was worried I wasn't right then.
*Sephr1 points straight ahead.*
Harkee: Oh okay! Duh.
DarkRider664: Heh. You were just a little slow putting the clues together there Harkee.
Freelancer117: And yes, it does hurt to get hit by one. Had my own gun used against me a couple of times.
DarkRider664: I better not get on your bad side.
*Sephr1 claps at Ieena.*
Freelancer117: *smirks* Yeah, but there's more than one reason why you wouldn't want to do that.
[Team] Othinn: .
DarkRider664: I don't think I would like to know......
Freelancer117: Freelancer117 shrugs.
*You target [Harkee] the level 25 Martial Arts Initiate.*
*[Harkee] is friendly.*
*Freelancer117 stretches.*
DarkRider664: Heh, rather quiet around here.
[Team] Othinn: 0
Freelancer117: Indeed.
Othinn: Give us some time to relax.
*Recursion.Nicks is offline.*
Othinn: Quiet is good.
Harkee: Mm-hmm.
Freelancer117: Freelancer117 twirls his reassembled gun in true gunslinger fashion before returning it to his shoulder holster.
DarkRider664: Oh and I got something for you Harkee that I picked up on one of those missions.
*Endomorph laughs at Harkee.*
Harkee: Really?
DarkRider664: Yeah, hope you like it.
Harkee: Aw, well thank you!
Harkee: I love the dress.
DarkRider664: Well I noticed it was purple then I thought of you.
Freelancer117: Thoughtful.
Harkee: Hehe.
[Tell] To Othinn: .
[Tell] Othinn: .
Harkee: Well, it's getting pretty late, boys. I think it's time for me to head off.
*You target [Harkee] the level 25 Martial Arts Initiate.*
*[Harkee] is friendly.*
*You bow formally at Harkee.*
*none (Allow)*
*Freelancer117 bows his head to Harkee.*
DarkRider664: Later Harkee.
*Harkee hugs you.*
Othinn: Good night, Harkee.
Freelancer117: Was nice meeting you.
*Harkee hugs DarkRider664.*
*Harkee hugs Freelancer117.*
*You have successfully changed your RSI's mood.*
Harkee: It was nice meeting you, too, Freelancer.
*Harkee waves.*
*Cadsuane is in The Matrix.*
Harkee: Take care, you three. I'll see you around.
*Clavo waves.*
Othinn: You too.
*Harkee waves to Clavo.*
Freelancer117: And you.
DarkRider664: Hopefully.
*Harkee is offline.*
