Characters either like or dislike others CHIRPER profiles. These responses are private between the characters involved.

For those who do post a top level, CHIRPER toplevels are worth five extra points regardless of if they are put up willingly by the character themselves. These five extra points do apply to the 25 maximum per month.

You're kidding.

You weren't able to keep track of it the first time. What makes you so certain you can now?

I didn't even know who she was when she first stole it. Now I know what happens when someone makes off with it.

New plan is to give it to someone else I trust, and not tell me where it is unless I'm actively using it for tests.

If only you could get it back.

You said you were going to. Do you want me to ask? Beg?

[This is Goth Jock on Nerd Jock violence.]

I said I could get it.
Not that I could return it to you.

And what are you going to do to keep it safe?

Where do I spend most of my time, Talis?

How am I supposed to know? I don't follow you around. You just show up, like an inopportune zit.

[What NOT to say to the kid you're enlisting for help.]

Exactly.

So your point is that you'd keep it safe, because I haven't bothered to stalk you and find out where you live?

Even if you wanted to, you wouldn't be able to.

Whereas I could map out your daily routine with ease. I could find your "someone you trust". How difficult do you think getting information out of them would be?

[That sends a hot shiver of panic down his spine.]

Now you're threatening me? I'm of half a mind to tell Jinx to keep it.

Don't be stupid. If I wanted to hurt you, I wouldn't bother with vague threats.

My point is that you are not as capable of keeping things under lock and key as you seem to think you are.

[He's quietly fuming and pacing before he responds. Needed a moment to find what he'd consider a reasonable enough response. Fortunately, that's the benefit of text.]

Your point is made. I still need it for my experiments. If you retrieve it from Jinx, please return it to me so I can use it, and then you can guard it whenever it's not in use.

[If that doesn't work, he's going to have to resort to his own threats.]

And if I say no?

Then you're just another thief and I'll ask someone else to get it from you.

[Is what he says. What he really would do is ask Aurora for more gemstones.]

You know that would be ineffective.
How many of these gemstones exist in your world?

If you're not going to even let me have it back for research purposes, then we have nothing more to talk about.

You're well-aware there are ways to get your hands on things that aren't taking them back from her. Were you avoiding that for any particular reason?

Is it due to how dangerous they are?

Good day, Robin.

[Meanwhile, his internal monologue to himself.]

You want to borrow a dangerous item so you can research it in a very small and enclosed location of which none of us are permitted to leave.

I hope you realize what you're asking, Talis. Any respectable scientist would understand my response.

[Unfortunately, he's easily brought back to confrontation when it's about his special interest.]

Everything's dangerous. We have people here who could kill everyone, easily, if they decided to! Aurora could turn on us! Echo could decide to just end the missions, and shut this all down, leaving us inside with no air. What's the plan for those situations? Or are you only focused on me because I'm the only one you can handle?

What makes you think you're the only one I'm focused on? You aren't that important. You are one of many, and not even particularly high up the ladder of my concerns.

If it's not important, than leave me, and this situation, alone.
