TEST DRIVE MEME

> The Park. Man, what a nice day out. Why not enjoy it? I'm sure -- shit, yep, there's some echo monsters.
> The Mall. Exactly what it says on the tin! Dodge the hordes of teenage mallrats or take part, whichever suits your tastes.
> Rainy Day. Agh, it's fucking awful out. And is it raining those vermilion things?? Now you've got an Echo to contend with on top of everything else. Find some shelter, quick!
> PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, HOW FUN
> The most horribly kitschy Arts and Crafts Fair you can imagine.
> NEW YEARS. What better way to start out the new year than to learn that everything you know is a lie? Or if you are already acquainted with the network pass out some resolutions.
> A food fight has just broken out in the cafeteria. Join? Flee? The choice is yours alone.
> Wild Card! Make up your own.

[loveyoubaby]

Just keep telling yourself that.

[he crosses his arms, frowning briefly as he takes another glance around the place]

Unbelievable. Well, now that I've got that figured out, I guess that means the alien thing is true too, huh?

[sassymaru]

I do. Because it's true.

[The paperclip fidgeting turns into uneasy typing.]

So it would seem. I haven't seen any... but it's likely.

[loveyoubaby]

[Max just rolls his eyes. Poor, delusional Yuji.]

Wow. You know, I'm starting to think transferring here was a mistake. At the same time though, that's kind of badass.

[sassymaru]

So am I.

[He is completely serious there.]

I would wait to say that until you suddenly develop these memories.

[loveyoubaby]

Already have.

[All things considered, this doesn't really bother him. on the outside, anyway. He shrugs and crosses his arms.]

That's how you get the numbers, right?

[sassymaru]

Then you must be one of the lucky ones. Who got the decent memories, rather than bad.

[More aggressive typing, dammit he used to have a good poker face.]

So it is. You know more than you let on.

[loveyoubaby]

[His first memory had been pretty goddamn terrible, but he's not about to share it with Creepy McPurplehair over here. Instead, he just offers a shrug]

Believe it or not, I do pay attention from time to time.

[As in he's super nosy. Max gestures with a little nod at the aggressive typing, probably looking far more amused than he should be]

You seem a little stressed, huh? Aren't you used to stuff like this by now?

[sassymaru]

Do you now? And here, I had thought your oversized vibrator had destroyed all your brain cells.

[He grimaces for a second, before forcing his fingers to slow down and... pound a little less aggressively on the poor keyboard.]

My job is the very picture of stress. Regardless of odd numbers and memories.

[loveyoubaby]

Hey, hey! Dis me all you want, but you don't get to insult my bike, buddy.

[he loves it more than people okay]

Whatever. You homicide guys got it easy. You don't have to cruse around pulling over drunk rednecks that may or may not have a shotgun sitting in their passenger seat.

[sassymaru]

Being likened to a vibrator is hardly an insult.

[He should know.]

No, but we do have to barge in and arrest them. Which typically results in a lot of rage.

[loveyoubaby]

It absolutely is! Vehicles have feelings too, y'know.

[why should he know that. has he been likened to a vibrator before? Takenaka what.]

Right, sure. Well whatever, I didn't come over here to have a pissing contest with you.

[sassymaru]

Since when?

[Since you WERE one, moron.]

No, I suppose not. Do try to keep from making it one, then.

[loveyoubaby]

Since forever. They're more reliable than people, anyway.

[i'm not a vibrator. what. no what. THIS WENT SOMEWHERE CONFUSING]

Couldn't help but notice that your partner's all buddy-buddy with Sherman.

[Yep that sure is a drastic subject change. And the word "partner" sure IS spat out mockingly.]

[sassymaru]

That's your opinion, I suppose. I have a very reliable person in my life, thank you.

[Even if that person goes off and does stupid shit every five minutes.]

Is he.

I hadn't noticed.

[loveyoubaby]

Just one?

[Yuji that's half the people in your life though]

Come on. You're not that stupid.

[sassymaru]

One. Nick doesn't count. He's too reckless by half.

[AND HE'S STILL MAD AT HIM.]

Maybe I'm in denial.

[loveyoubaby]

So you've picked up a gold digger. Good for you.

[WELL GOOD YOUR PARTNER IS A MORON]

Or maybe you're too trusting, hm?

[sassymaru]

You assume I have gold to dig. How kind of you.

[NO IT'S TERRIBLE.]

Or perhaps you're too paranoid.

[loveyoubaby]

What, you've got a good job. You're the kind of person gold diggers go for.

[AMUSING AS HELL THOUGH]

See, it's not called paranoia, it's called experience. I figured someone up in the years like you would be able to know the difference by now.

[sassymaru]

I sincerely doubt anyone considers a homicide detective to be good prospects for anything money-wise.

[Your face is amusing as hell.]

Then clearly I'm not as "up in the years" as you've convinced yourself.

[loveyoubaby]

What, it's not like you're working fast food or something.

[My face is amazing you shut your mouth]

Even if that's the case, there's no excuse for being so naive.

[sassymaru]

No, but you do get shot at, just as frequently.

[And sometimes shot in general but.]

I have faith in the good of humanity and the power of friendship.

[loveyoubaby]

Yeah. Sucks, don't it?

[okay wait no

no you did not just say that

Apparently that's the funniest thing Max has heard all weak because he's laughing like a raucous asshole. Ooooh friendship.]

No shit? What kiddy shows have you been watching?

[sassymaru]

Such a kind way of phrasing it.

[He just goes back to typing.]

[Yeah, no you're getting ignored here, funny man.]

You can thank Nick for that line. Not television.

[loveyoubaby]

Well it's accurate, isn't it? Getting shot does suck.

[hey you're the one telling jokes over here pal]

Well then he got it from a kiddy show. No self respecting badass goes around spouting lines like that.
