Hygiene issues aside, is anyone actually enjoying anything about Paris?

@POINTANDKICK While certainly not favourable qualities it's mostly just how surrounding noise and presence effect the mood of observing works of art
@POINTANDKICK I like creating a baseline for my observations before i compare the experience within loud and crowded spaces
@POINTANDKICK Hope that made sense

@POINTANDKICK Yeah for that reason I doubt i'd ever retire early. Once my bones and muscles give out and i succumb to old age perhaps...but that'd go against my wish to have a dramatic or dignified death.

[pointedlook]

@BROKEBACKSTAB Made sense. Kinda hipster and pretentious, but alright.
@BROKEBACKSTAB Hate to break this to you but death isn't dignified no matter what. We all shit ourselves after.

[handsomefoil]

@POINTANDKICK You know what
@POINTANDKICK I'll take that, I deserved it.

@POINTANDKICK Haha true. Guess it's a good thing I wont give a damn when I'm dead

[pointedlook]

@BROKEBACKSTAB Only thing we can hope to do is leave poor sods shitting themselves in death behind us.

@BROKEBACKSTAB Humor me for a sec– what do you remember before coming here?

[handsomefoil]

@POINTANDKICK If i had a drink, I'd drink to that

@POINTANDKICK Not much to be honest. Came home late, went to bed. I'm positive I came here of my own volition though. No evidence of foul play when I came to the next day. But this doesn't really seem like a cause Id willingly join.

[pointedlook]

@BROKEBACKSTAB I'd say let's grab some, but you're likely to get typhoid just looking at the taverns here.

@BROKEBACKSTAB Not into history reversal? Villain type? Too much effort?

[handsomefoil]

@POINTANDKICK I think it'd be in our best interest to look into slightly more upscale venues

@POINTANDKICK No interest if there's no monetary compensation for my services
@POINTANDKICK Can't say my curiosity isn't piqued but I'm pretty sure even the most shitfaced version of me wouldn't accept a job like this without some down payment

[pointedlook]

@BROKEBACKSTAB With what money? I can pickpocket, but this atmosphere makes me somewhat reluctant to do so.

@BROKEBACKSTAB Fair. Money talks. For something like this it had better be charming the pants off us, yeah?

[handsomefoil]

@POINTANDKICK Where there's a will there's a way

@POINTANDKICK I would sure hope so but since Im here now and no way to get back except to finish what I apparently started
@POINTANDKICK Might as well make the most of it.
@POINTANDKICK Maybe clean up the whole lot of them when it's all said and done, we'll see.

[pointedlook]

@BROKEBACKSTAB I hope that's not a set up for a Shakespeare joke

@BROKEBACKSTAB Leaving things unfinished is unprofessional. As much as I dislike the circumstances, I don't make a habit of ignoring loose ends.

[handsomefoil]

@POINTANDKICK Nothing of the sort fortunately. Through sheer willpower I literally intend on getting my hands on some quality spirits even if it almost kills me.

@POINTANDKICK Good to know we're on the same wavelength here.

[ he thinks he likes you already and he hasn't actually met him yet, how nice ]

[pointedlook]

@BROKEBACKSTAB That's impressive. Stupid, maybe, but impressive.

@BROKEBACKSTAB Loose ends usually come to kill you. Learned that the hard way; I don't intend to make the same mistakes twice.

[ Arthur isn't sure how he feels about this guy just yet. But, he's a suspicious person. Nothing personal. ]

[handsomefoil]

@POINTANDKICK So i've been told before but I wont be going it alone apparently
@POINTANDKICK Seems there's plenty others willing to be stupid and impressive with me

@POINTANDKICK I know that feeling well. Everyone always learns a thing or two about loose ends when you're in a dangerous line of work


[ not to worry, that is pretty much par for the course for henry. don't trust anyone and don't expect them to trust you. ]

[pointedlook]

@BROKEBACKSTAB Sounds like you've got that handled. Make sure you've got an exit strategy. You know. Better than "we'll just dive into the most".

@BROKEBACKSTAB Nothing like learning by example. You in dangerous lines of work?

[handsomefoil]

@POINTANDKICK Yes mother I've got a few.

@POINTANDKICK Perhaps no more dangerous than yours

[pointedlook]

@BROKEBACKSTAB Mother? Really? You're gonna go there huh.

@BROKEBACKSTAB Alright, I'll play. What do you do?

[handsomefoil]

@POINTANDKICK You have to admit you sounded a little concerned for me. Im touched, really

@POINTANDKICK Im afraid you might laugh

[ he's not. not really. but it feels silly of him to just give that answer outright. ]

[pointedlook]

@BROKEBACKSTAB Mostly I'm concerned with changing the potential future. And the possibility of it coming back to the rest of us. Oh, and losing headcount.

[ Details, details. ]

@BROKEBACKSTAB Can't be any more laughable than someone I knew who'd gone from covert ops to gigolo.

[handsomefoil]

@POINTANDKICK All very valid concerns
@POINTANDKICK I promise not to rip any holes in time and space while on a hunt for a drink

@POINTANDKICK No judgement here
@POINTANDKICK I'm an assassin
@POINTANDKICK Still just an assassin

[pointedlook]

@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.

[handsomefoil]

@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?

[pointedlook]

@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.

[handsomefoil]

@POINTANDKICK Only if you're that interested in the outcome :)

@POINTANDKICK Why, do you need something stolen?

@POINTANDKICK Try me

[pointedlook]

@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.

[handsomefoil]

@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 ]
