Hygiene issues aside, is anyone actually enjoying anything about Paris?
@BROKEBACKSTAB There's nothing more glorious than war. To die in battle is a sacred honour.
@BROKEBACKSTAB You must be from an entirely different era... One where humans have grown lazy and weak, because they have so many luxuries at their fingertips. Luxuries they didn't have to plunder for themselves.
@BROKEBACKSTAB You seem to be knowledgeable. What happens after these people take their country back? I'm curious.

@BROKEBACKSTAB You'll have to forgive my disbelief of any said promises. Guilty until proven innocent, etc.
@BROKEBACKSTAB That's a lot better than I was coming up with. No, I'm not mentioning them.
@BROKEBACKSTAB Any thievery or forging skills? You know. Just in case.

@ACHEELIES Well worry not, I do not intend to persuade you to think otherwise
@ACHEELIES For the most part yes
@ACHEELIES Can't say the same for any third world countries that still don't have access to basic needs but myself specifically yes.
@ACHEELIES That's an entire semester's worth of history that I certainly don't want to get into but
@ACHEELIES Let's just put it this way
@ACHEELIES Lots of people die, in battles and out, structures of government changes violently and repeatedly, the country goes through social changes, then eventually becomes a civilization for lazy and weak humans with luxuries at their fingertips
@ACHEELIES At least thats the gist of it

@BROKEBACKSTAB I thought so. No need to be ashamed. This is your chance to broaden your horizons!
@BROKEBACKSTAB I appreciate your wit. I guess this means they'll discover baths, or so I hope. The stench of filth and fish in the air is far too strong for my liking.
@BROKEBACKSTAB There are no bathhouses to be found anywhere. Not even in the more rich districts of Paris.

[ henry laughs. some funny characters here tonight. ]
@ACHEELIES Looking forward to it
@ACHEELIES Bathhouses are certainly much more... modern
@ACHEELIES The sewage system here is basically nonexistent so unfortunately it'll take some time before the stench dissipates.
@ACHEELIES I'm highly considering soaking my sleeve in absinthe and breathing that in to kill all sense of smell

@POINTANDKICK Forgiven. Just stick around and see if you get a weird feeling in the air or something
@POINTANDKICK Well
@POINTANDKICK I specialize mostly in murder
@POINTANDKICK But I suppose going undercover a lot provides a lot of opportunities for thieving.
@POINTANDKICK Like to think I can do a little bit of anything if I set my mind to it
@POINTANDKICK Now what about you?

@BROKEBACKSTAB They have no sewer? Well, I can't expect all countries to be as great and innovative as Greece.
@BROKEBACKSTAB The rich are no better. They soak themselves in perfumes to presumably hide their own stench.
@BROKEBACKSTAB Just breathe through your mouth, wherever you go.

@BROKEBACKSTAB What, like I'm some sort of dowsing rod for stupidity? Or promises being upheld?
@BROKEBACKSTAB Given, since that's in the requirements for an assassin career path.
@BROKEBACKSTAB Alright, fair enough.
@BROKEBACKSTAB It's not going to make much sense, I'll admit.

@ACHEELIES Can't say for sure if it's literally no sewer but Im pretty sure
@ACHEELIES Yes that's what Ive been doing mostly
@ACHEELIES No sense in wasting perfectly drinkable absinthe
@ACHEELIES What era of Greece do you hail from
@ACHEELIES Yes that's what Ive been doing mostly

@POINTANDKICK Only if you're that interested in the outcome :)
@POINTANDKICK Why, do you need something stolen?
@POINTANDKICK Try me
@POINTANDKICK Why, do you need something stolen?
@POINTANDKICK Try me
@ACHEELIES Ah ancient greece then
@ACHEELIES Suppose it all makes more sense now
@ACHEELIES I had a feeling that was going to happen
@ACHEELIES The United states, formerly Ireland
@ACHEELIES The former hadn't been named during your time so I don't think you'd recognize it as is

@BROKEBACKSTAB Maybe yes, maybe no.
[ He's going to keep tabs anyway, because he's a nosy fucker. ]
@BROKEBACKSTAB No, just digging for information.
@BROKEBACKSTAB Alright. I work in corporate mind heist. Essentially, the stealing of information and ideas through a process called extraction.
@BROKEBACKSTAB It utilizes a technology that hasn't been invented in this time yet, obviously.
@BROKEBACKSTAB Technically, I don't do the extraction– it's never been my specialty, as that takes an abundance of schmoozing I don't care for. But, research, wiretaps, hacking, blackmail, record digging; you name it in that quarter and I've done it.

@POINTANDKICK I'll keep you in the loop
@POINTANDKICK Funny enough, I think I follow
@POINTANDKICK Sounds complicated though. Probably would make more sense if I were to witness it in person rather than hearing it as an explanation
@POINTANDKICK So this tech allows you to root through what, their actual mind? Hence "mind heist"?
[ he's had to fight an anime girl in his own subconscious dream before so lbr, this sounds reasonable enough to follow ]

@BROKEBACKSTAB That's the nicest thing someone has said to me in months.
@BROKEBACKSTAB If I had the technology handy, it would be much faster to explain. Kind of a "see it to believe it" deal.
@BROKEBACKSTAB Something like that. There's an art to it– you've got to know the target, understand how not to set off their subconscious, what they'd accept as reality vs. fiction.
@BROKEBACKSTAB Most of the time they've got their secret or information locked in a vault, so it's about coercing them to give it to you willingly.

@POINTANDKICK Let me guess, nobody in your circle keeps you in the loop
@POINTANDKICK I get it. Sounds like fun
@POINTANDKICK Like building an elaborate lucid dream
[ not that he understands a lot of what arthur means by "set off" their subconscious, but he thinks he gets it. he also doesn't realize just how literal this exchange between them and their target is. ]

@BROKEBACKSTAB It's like they're all allergic to telling me things. Me. The guy that keeps the whole job together.
@BROKEBACKSTAB That's exactly what it is. Lucid dreaming, without the target knowing it is.
@BROKEBACKSTAB There's a ton of ways to build it, but the best way is to disguise a maze underneath it all. It keeps the target from slipping through the cracks and gives whoever knows the maze a way out, just in case the subconscious starts trying to shoot you full of bullets.
@BROKEBACKSTAB Risky business, in dreamland and topside, but it pays well.

@POINTANDKICK Maybe a training exercise is in order
@POINTANDKICK Now I'm very curious to see what all this is about
@POINTANDKICK Damn you for getting me so interested in your job that I most likely will not get to see in action
@POINTANDKICK No doubt it does. But nothing's worth doing if there's no risk involved.
@POINTANDKICK At least thats my rule of thumb

@BROKEBACKSTAB I don't know, maybe? I could set up treats, like agility training.
[ PEOPLE AREN'T DOGS, ARTHUR........ ]
@BROKEBACKSTAB Sorry, should I have made it less appealing?
@BROKEBACKSTAB Oh, I guess you get shot at a lot. And the pain is residual– if you're shot in the kneecaps in a dream, the pain can follow you topside.
@BROKEBACKSTAB I got eviscerated once and felt phantom pains for a few days.
@BROKEBACKSTAB Depends on the risk. Generally I agree.

@BROKEBACKSTAB It is certainly a great offense to the senses, fortunately I've never been stuffed into an Orlesian getup.
@BROKEBACKSTAB I am actually very consistent when it comes to my undergarments. It's possible they picked it because they knew I spoke the language? They thought it was amusing? I suppose it could be worse.

[ Haha he finds that funny ]
@POINTANDKICK Whatever you think would work
@POINTANDKICK Interesting
@POINTANDKICK Ive had a similar experience before but I don't think the residual effects were very pronounced
@POINTANDKICK But any attacks inflicted did hurt when I was there in the moment
@POINTANDKICK Do you die topside if you die within the dream
@POINTANDKICK Any hard No's?
