Did you all think you were going to get to spend your whole mission time just watching Dawson's Creek and going to bars and reading trashy romance novels and watching cats fly while Gar did all the work all week long?

Nice try.

Various duties are below - your characters will be dragged along on some of them over the course of the week. Feel free to pick and choose what your character might have volunteered (or been "volunteered") for.

So in this scenario is James Franco with the Knights? Or are you guys... [He pulls up finger air quotes] "partners"?

[slays]

The second one. [ She dismisses it easily. ] So, we finish stealing ... whatever the heck it is, I don't speak Chinese -- I don't think I speak Chinese, do you think I speak Chinese? [ Oh, the sidebars amnesia can bring us. She moves on. ] Anyway. We get onto the roof to escape and they're like shooting at us from helicopters and James Franco almost gets hit but I pull this cool, like, spy move, you know, and tackle him. And there's all this sexual tension but then our helicopter shows up and [ she makes a hand gesture of flying ] fwoom, off we go.

[nosdacaraid]

... Talk about unfortunate timing.

[slay]

But fortunate for the interest of keeping the game PG-13. Besides. This way, there's no shattering of any preconceived illusions I might have. [ She slurps at her drink. ] It's safer.

[nosdacaraid]

... Probably safer for the listening audience, at least.

But I wouldn't really call that creative. [Yep. Being called out.] Pretty sure I saw that movie.

[slay]

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure I played Candyland every day until I was 10. And you're busting my chops for creativity?

[nosdacaraid]

How was I supposed to know you made up the same thing when you were a kid? [yep, he doesn't know what

candyland is

either....]

[slay]

... It was a board game, Mark.

[nosdacaraid]

... Ok, well that does explain a few things.

[slay]

You mean to tell me you've never played Candyland.

[nosdacaraid]

I had... very strict parents?

[slay]

Very strict parents that raised you in a barn?

[nosdacaraid]

Something... like that.

[slay]

Hm. [ She's not pushing. ] Whaatever. Oh, and by the way? That was so not a movie.

[nosdacaraid]

You're probably right. Let's say you won this round.

[slay]

Winning isn't the point. [ She deflates a little, pouting and eyeing the front of the building. ]

[nosdacaraid]

[She's not the only one who seems a little deflated. He looks forward, pressing his lips together and chewing on the inside of them for a moment]

Maybe a new game.

[slay]

Here's one. How about the grab life by the horns, be assertive game? [ She groans. ] There has to be more we can do than just sit in this smelly car -- no offense.

[nosdacaraid]

Protocol. We want to make sure somebody's on hand if things go south quickly for some reason, and Gar winds up in danger.

[slays]

She's a secretary. What's she gonna be in danger of, a leaky pen? [ She's being bratty, but COME ONNNN. ] It's just -- She's got experience in this stuff, right? Or Wynn wouldn't have assigned her. So, I don't see why we have to be all paranoiathon that she might screw up and require cavalry.

[nosdacaraid]

What if they work out that she's a spy and chloroform her?

[slays]

Shouldn't we be hoping she's a good enough spy that they don't work it out in the first place?

[nosdacaraid]

I'm pretty sure this is her first ... spy assignment.

[slays]

Her first -- What? [ omg are you kidding me. ] But -- But, she has training, right? Wynn assigned her to her first spy mission when there's a freaky immortality amulet of death at stake?

[nosdacaraid]

I'm pretty sure he had Sir Koraith brief on what to do - I know she was dead set on not letting Wynn down, so if I know Gar, she wouldn't have gone in unless she felt like she knew what she was doing.
