un: gorgug, text ( a day into the mission )

[tinflower]

Hey. What's everyone found out about the mission?

Do we want to share what jobs we have and if we need anything? I'm working engineering in Sprawl. How are people in Dreg? I heard it's bad?

[ ooc: An info-sharing post, if people would like that! It can be used throughout different points of the mission, and maybe if people have made network posts on their toplevel posts, they can link them in here, w/e w/e! Please feel free to tag inside freely. ]

I promise if nobody touches me nobody will get bitten.

[nimbuster]

You just said it's crowded, it's going to happen by accident. Don't bite people, period. Unless someone deliberately attacks you, then knock yourself out, but call security too and I'll get down there.

[miniroth]

[There is an extended pause, then the next message appears:]

Define 'deliberately attacks'.

[nimbuster]

Seriously? You know exactly what I mean. Tries to inflict bodily harm on you, specifically, on purpose. Clear enough?

[miniroth]

When orders are in writing it's best to be certain there are no misunderstandings. My idea of deliberate attack and bodily harm may differ from yours.

It's difficult to unbite someone without appropriate materia on hand after all. I will rely on non-biting methods of dissuasion. Thank you.

[nimbuster]

Don't stab anyone either!

[miniroth]

You're making this unreasonably difficult. Very well, I will not stab or bite anyone without being harmed first.

I suppose it is high time I brush up on my unarmed combat skills now that claws aren't getting in the way of being able to make a proper fist.

[nimbuster]

You're a lot tougher than most of these people, you can afford a little restraint. It's not unreasonable to NOT attack people for no good reason.

Just don't punch anyone hard enough to break anything unless you have to. Including bones and walls.

[miniroth]

[He can work with that. He knows ways to hit people without breaking a bone.]

I don't like being touched; I am exercising restraint at all times as it is. When we are off this train I would like to arrange a bath of lye, please.

[nimbuster]

Bathe in whatever you want. Look, I get it. I don't like people touching me without permission either. That doesn't make it okay to hurt someone who accidentally bumps into you or something.

[miniroth]

I will obey, but I do not have to agree.

[nimbuster]

You don't. I was hoping you would, though.

[He doesn't write You know, in the interest of not growing up to be a mass murderer. But only because there's no way to private messages on the network.

[miniroth]

[There may be a similar train of thought, because:]

I'm not intending to kill anyone. I just want some space.

[nimbuster]

[This time the pause is on Cloud's end before the next message comes:]

There are a couple of loopholes in the rules here. Pretty sure I can get you up into the Sprawls section without too much trouble. You can have my bunk.

[miniroth]

And where will you be in the meantime?

[nimbuster]

I can sleep anywhere. Don't worry about it.

[miniroth]

And what would removing me from this section require?

[nimbuster]

Give me a few. I'll get back to you.

[He's going to find out, and then message Sephiroth directly instead of continuing to use the network. Just in case.]

[miniroth]

[Instead of replying, he simply waits. And doesn't bite anyone, though the temptation remains.]
