You people sure do know how to have a good time. Teamwork aside, a girl could get used to this.

You might want to watch where you're going.

You never did answer my last question, Jade.

[chessassin]

I was probably ignoring you.

[JEEZE, DAD! You're so EMBARRASSING!]

Re: Video

[master_of_the_game]

Then here's your chance to show you're not completely immature. What right do you have to judge anyone, considering how you make your living?

[I live to trap you in uncomfortable conversations.]

Video

[chessassin]

I'm allowed to have opinions. I'm entitled to opinions. Not my fault if you don't like them.

[Curses. This is why she left. The uncomfortable conversation parade!]

Re: Video

[master_of_the_game]

That's deflecting my question entirely. As usual, you're becoming defensive, just like your sister. Peas in a pod, you two.

[chessassin]

If anything, she is just like me. Firstborn. I set the example.

It's good that she's following in my soundless footsteps and not taking after your lack of style.

[master_of_the_game]

Honestly. I don't know how genetics works in our family. Artemis may take after her mother's style, but she got my share of looks, while you're the opposite.

When you are you going to get over it, already? You didn't even stay for a full year of your training. You act like I raised you in a tiger cage. Your grandfather trained me much harder than you were trained, and I was even younger.

[totallyhisniece]

This could be considered the opposite of laying low.

[chessassin]

What can I say? I'm getting cocky. It's a curse.

Re: video ARROWLOCKED 100% that sounds so cool omg

[totallyhisniece]

You better be careful, Jade, I'm not going to be able to step in if you get cornered. Can't you at least try to be careful?

video ARROWLOCKED 100% Damn right it does

[chessassin]

I am being careful. I just happen to also be bored now that I don't have an excuse for neutralizing civilians.

Re: video ARROWLOCKED 100%

[totallyhisniece]

What, you can't find a nice book to read or something?

video ARROWLOCKED 100%

[chessassin]

Couldn't find the one I was looking for.

Don't worry too much, sis. I found someone to play with.

[Not even going to ask why. This is Cheshire he's dealing with, and who knows what she's even up to? Now his guard is suddenly up and he stops in his tracks to look around.]

Alright. Where are you?

Audio; filtered

[chessassin]

[Oh, she's up to something, alright.]

A little to the left. Two steps forward.

Audio; filtered

[angroy]

[Darn right she is. She's up to no good. Does he even dare to step forward?]

I'm not looking to play any of your games, so why don't you just come out?

[Just...no smokebombs, please.]

[ACTION]

[chessassin]

But they're just so much fun~.

[Cheshire gracefully drops down from the ceiling two steps in front of him. No smokebombs, just the grin on her mask.]

Did you miss me?

[ACTION]

[angroy]

Not for all of us.

[He takes a few steps back and crosses his arms and glares. She was a lot closer than he thought.]

How'd you know where to find me? [Answering a question with a question is the way to go.]

[ACTION]

[chessassin]

Duh. It's my job.

[Also, she literally had nothing else to do but wait for him to lurk near one of the high-traffic areas and then follow him around.

She lifts her mask up and smiles. It... it's kind of a dangerous-looking smile.]

Oh. Look what the cat dragged in.

That must make you what the cat spit up.

Don't suppose you might have been one of the ones making this whole operation cozier for him and all, would you have?

But you probably wouldn't wanna spoil the surprise.

[chessassin]

Why don't you be a good boy and lock this for me, and maybe I'll let you in on a little secret.

[unfiltrating]

What's the matter? Can't do it yourself?

I'm not the tech expert here.
