adstring_npc: (Chairman)

[The PCD comes on, focused on a rather orderly desk. The 'inbox' on the desk is full and Donna is standing next to it. Chairman Springsteen leans into the shot, reaching to grab and open one of the files.]

No, they all say the same thing. Reasonless panic. [He shrugs and moves it to the 'outbox.']

It's not their fault that you have them looking for anything that changes. Or that they're stupid mice, the most of them. How big is the change? [Donna's smirking and leaning over the desk, toward him. It can be noted that her blouse is low-cut, and her heels are perhaps a bit higher than are professional.]

Less than .002%. Nothing to panic over. Though the chemists are bothered. Some substance they were messing with turned into cola. [Springsteen is smirking as he rests his elbows on the desk.]

Well. This world is... [Donna shrugs.] ...predictable in its unpredictability. If they're so bothered, send some of them out. Bao wants out of her cage.

[The Chairman shakes his head.] No. I have her busy with other things.

[Donna straightens, clearly pissed off. Her lips tighten.] Another side project that you didn't tell me about?

[He snorts.] Hardly. It got approved by all of us months ago. It's just taken time to get her to head down that road. She's hardly as biddable as Morimoto was. He was useful, you know.

To a point. [She no longer looks quite as angry.] Send some of the mice out to look around, then. Ones that the snakes won't bite.

Snakes don't bite mice. They swallow them whole. [Another file gets opened; he's not paying so much attention to Donna anymore.] But some of ours should be safe. Send Andrew in on your way out. We'll pick a few.

[Slowly, very slowly, Donna adjusts her blouse. Her voice is frosty.] On my way out. There were several other things on the agenda, as you--

[The PCD times out.]

What if I send Abbot? You're the one that fawns over her.

Yes. Because there's satellite here.

Outsider isn't obvious?

I keep hoping that one day someone will be original. So far you're all disappointing.

That can't be the only reason, unless you're very weak to a girl's figure.

You're married right? Shouldn't your vows mean something?

Of course I'd help Caroline, but what could she possibly do out here? She's a botanist.

[identity profile] adstring-npc.livejournal.com 2010-04-07 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Because no one sane wants to eat bugs.

It is boring. What would you call it... [His voice trails off as he flips through a file cabinet.] Arienette?

Big tits and she puts out when told.

Why? They're words.

[identity profile] adstring-npc.livejournal.com 2010-04-07 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
She couldn't do much, you're right. But if anyone's a mouse, it's her. It might be amusing to see what happens.

It is not for the prey to be entertained.

When you send your pawns from the safety of your hole... let them know first, about the dangers of the big, bad wilderness of the Outside, and the dangers they face --

In the form of unoriginal children.

[Honestly this is how she pretty much assumes most humans are at heart]

You're not romantic at all. You should work on that, it's not appealing.

And if you can't keep your word, you don't have much. Even liars can honor oaths. &hearts

[identity profile] adstring-npc.livejournal.com 2010-04-07 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, right.

You're nothing. But if you want to send your dog to attack people who can't give you information or get you anywhere, that's your business.

I can't see anyone out here hurting her, though.

You act like we're all savages and war machines. We're just people, pulled into this world, the same as you and the others. That's all.

You don't have power or looks. I don't want to appeal to you.

She knew what the arrangement would be when she signed the contract. She ggot to use my money and my name, I got to use her body.

Its a rather vague reference coming from someone in the inner city.

True enough, 'less they're a lizard-person, or just a lizard.

An' that's a tough one! Maybe Abraxas? Always liked th' sound of that one.

Oh. I see you've done your research.

[One moment, two...]

Ewwwwwwwww. Pervy old man! You're the worst!

[Which does not actually stop her from continuing with the rest of the conversation.]

So it's just a work contract to you, again politics. Don't you ever think of anything else?

[identity profile] adstring-npc.livejournal.com 2010-04-07 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
You know lizard people?

Abraxas. [Now he's grabbing a book off the shelf.] Gnostic. Stones and planets. You're Gnostic?

[Voice]

[identity profile] adstring-npc.livejournal.com 2010-04-07 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
It pays.

[identity profile] adstring-npc.livejournal.com 2010-04-07 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
I'm practical and political. Why should I hide what I am?

[Video] (dashes are him spacing things out verbally.)

I see we have a genius here.

In-si-der is someone from the In-ner Ci-ty.

Out-si-der is someone from the Out-er Ci-ty.

I'm not sure I can use smaller words.

If you have to have a little girl explain it's a wonder you're in charge.

Or maybe people like you anyway, though I don't see why.

[identity profile] cornered-circle.livejournal.com 2010-04-07 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Hopefully not! Don't want to, neither.

Maybe. Just a bit, though 'ow do I know your-world Gnostics are like mine? Did think sis shoulda named me Sophia...

People don't ever expect someone to be rude and blunt and still know the difference between honesty and blurting things out. They expect the rude people to hide behind "I'm just honest!"

I'm rude. And I have connections. That's how the real world works, little girl.

[Maaaay or may not be vaguely impressed, but he's pretty sure someone else came up with the PCD idea. Yep.]

Then you'll know by now that I am not content to employ mice.

And as for attacking those that venture... I wouldn't dream of it.
