[Better hope hard, James.]

sounds good to me

i'll try and learn a bit before we go, i can ask togusa or tatsuo without bringing up your name. they both know enough that they won't question it and that way it'll be less obvious

[frostythehitman]

Good, keep my name out of it. Especially if you're talking to Togusa. He's been helping me out with the range and all, but I know he's not exactly excited about me knowing my way around a gun. Something tells me he wouldn't like me teaching all that to others.

[darkinferno]

[James won't know it, but Dante's snorting on his end. Understatement of the century.]

togusa's a stick in the mud

no that's not fair, he means well but he needs to realize he can't make our decisions for us, i've told him that

don't worry, i'm pretty sure i could tell them i was blowing up the retrospec building and their only question would be where i'm getting the bazooka to do it

[frostythehitman]

Yeah? How'd you manage to get on a leash that loose?

[darkinferno]

i don't ask permission and they know they can't stop me

so the next best thing to do is make sure i don't get myself killed in the process and even that part's debatable

[Really, he's pretty amazed that only one person has threatened to knock him out to make sure he couldn't do something stupid. It's pretty nice, not having to constantly argue his decisions!]

[frostythehitman]

Oh yeah? What's the worst thing they've caught you doing so far?

[darkinferno]

well

togusa was the one that helped me out when i got arrested by the rpd so you do the math

tatsuo wasn't on the network yet though, the worst he's seen is me when i was... pretty wasted

[Look...]

[frostythehitman]

What'd you get arrested for?

[darkinferno]

bullshit

[Seriously. He still wants to know who it is that tipped the cops off...]

they didn't have anything they could charge me with and they knew it. togusa watched me goad one of their officers into flipping a table then congratulated me and offered to get me coffee if he could watch me do it again to another of them

[He's... actually not really exaggerating all that much, either. Sure, Togusa had sat him down and warned him first about what could happen if he didn't come clean with him about what he was doing at the art museum, but after that? After that it had been what sort of coffee he wanted before he sent Fynn Izunia in to watch him work his magic.]

[frostythehitman]

Was it Officer Izunia?

He's the one who arrested me too, except I just kept refusing to talk to anyone except Togusa until they sent him in.

[darkinferno]

nah, it was juzo who flipped the table and then gabranth slammed the door open to kick him out. then togusa came in and said he wanted to send fynn in to watch me piss him off next

and after that gabranth tried

what'd you get arrested for?

[frostythehitman]

Seriously? Is the entire Recolle PD full of loose cannons?

I got arrested for arson. I was trying to burn one of my Retrospec "gifts" to get rid of it permanently. I barely even got the fire going before Izunia pulled up and arrested me.

[darkinferno]

i'd say yes but then you've got people like togusa and tatsuo

they seem like they're a lot more levelheaded

arson? were you trying to burn down a place?

[frostythehitman]

They're probably the only ones keeping that place together.

Aside from the trash can I was trying to burn stuff in? No. But they thought I was trying to burn the lot.

[ This is a lie. But it's a much easier excuse to explain his arrest than "I was trying to burn a dismembered body part." ]

[darkinferno]

sounds like bullshit to me, but from what i've seen fynn's the type to shoot first and ask questions later

[frostythehitman]

[ Thanks for being enough of a jackass that that excuse passed muster, Fynn! ]

Yeah go figure. I didn't know he's like that at the time, but I'm glad I held out for Togusa to show up, or they probably would've held me in jail or something.
