[13:32] <Reve_Hunter> <walks along the vineyard, interviewing the owner> So...what year would you say is a good vintage to buy?

[13:33] <Reve_Hunter> <writes down the response> I see, so, the AC 223 is a good year? I'll make note of that the next time I go and buy wine.

[13:37] <Reve_Hunter> <walks the owner to the vineyard back towards the villa> Well, it was a pleasure to meet you, this episode will air sometime in the new year. The station will notify you upon the exact dates.

[13:38] <Reve_Hunter> <extends hand> thank you very much sir for your time. It was quite educational.


[13:46] <Dez_Visir> <After enjoying his late breakfast, Dez had decided to pay the folks down at WSON a visit. His entrance had been anticipated for the past day or two, even feared perhaps. Rumors floated around that if things weren't up to snuff when this man was around, the station would be closed down and they would all be out of the job.>

[13:48] <Reve_Hunter> <walks back into the station, pleased with her day> Shit, I still don't know this station's layout, I'm so used to their New York and New Mexico locations...

[13:48] <Dez_Visir> <He's wearing a rather stylish black suit with a silver and black striped tie and Italian leather shoes. All of it very expensive, and all of it on loan to him from a worker at S8N. On his budget, he couldn't afford to dress this nicely, but the company had to keep up appearances...>

[13:48] <Dez_Visir> <Reve notices the receptionist isn't at her desk. Odd, considering it's not time for Lunch.>

[13:49] <Reve_Hunter> <groans to herself> Dammit, does no one work here?

[13:49] <Reve_Hunter> <notices the empty desk>

[13:49] <Dez_Visir> <The desk has been gone through. Papers are in a mess, drawers have been opened.>

[13:50] <Reve_Hunter> <turns to her new cameraman> You go look for someone, we gotta get this tape...<looks at the desk> hey wait a minute, um...what was your name again? Harold? Oh sorry, Horace...come here. <motions that he comes towards her>

[13:50] <Reve_Hunter> Doesn't this place look like someone's just ravaged the desk in some sort of hurry?

[13:50] <Reve_Hunter> And this place seems like a ghost town, no receptionist is about...

[13:50] <Reve_Hunter> <gets a bit nervous>

[13:51] <Reve_Hunter> <looks at her cameraman> don't worry, I'll protect you <notices her cameraman's face all white>

[13:51] <Dez_Visir> <A scream comes from down the hall, further into the building>

[13:51] <Dez_Visir> [Voice] "Please! Show mercy! I beg of you! Noooo!"

[13:52] <Reve_Hunter> <turns to her camerman> come on, get that tape rolling, we could have a story on our hands!

[13:52] <Reve_Hunter> <runs in the direction of the voice> hmm...where could it come from?

[13:52] <Reve_Hunter> <makes a motion to keep quiet>

[13:53] <Dez_Visir> <It seems to have come from the direction of the general manager's office, where the door is open.>

[13:54] <Reve_Hunter> <tip toes towards a door that was ajar... "Shhhhh you got it rolling?" she looks up at the door..general manager?...looks inside>

[13:55] <Dez_Visir> <Inside of the room is a man in a black suit with his back facing Reve. The General Manager is a wreck, his pudgey face flushed red and combover thin brown hair now askew.>

[13:56] <Dez_Visir> [General Manager] "If you tell DeMatin about my gambling problem...he'll fire me without severence.....that'll ruin my family...I won't be able to put my kids through school!"

[13:56] <Reve_Hunter> <looks inside, and makes sure that the tape is rolling...she tries to creep in closer to hear>

[13:56] <Dez_Visir> You should have thought about that before you gambled away funds that were supposed to be put into buying new equipment...

[13:57] <Dez_Visir> I'll be writing this into my report.

[13:57] <Dez_Visir> <He pushes up his dark sunglasses, then turns towards the door and starts to walk towards it.>

[13:58] <Reve_Hunter> <contains a gasp> embezzlement?

[13:58] <Dez_Visir> <The General Manager is in hysteria as Dez pushes open the door swiftly.>

[13:58] <Reve_Hunter> Shit! <tries to escape>

[13:59] <Dez_Visir> <Barely misses seeing Reve, as he's already on his way around the door to go further down the hall.>

[13:59] <Dez_Visir> <Mumbles> Poor bastard...

[13:59] <Reve_Hunter> <notices the well dressed gentleman walking the opposite direction...armani suit...shakes head...>

[14:00] <Reve_Hunter> <glances in the direction of the general manager's office...decides to see if he was alright>

[14:00] <Dez_Visir> <He then starts into another direction. To be more precise, further down the hall is where the reporters' desks are. All personel that see him get out of the way, hairs standing on end.>

[14:02] <Reve_Hunter> <opens the door slowly and hears a whimper then decides against it....I gotta get this tape to someone, they'll be expecting the wine documentary to be edited by next week....and this <takes the tape out of the camera> this stays with me. <glances at her cameraman who seems oblivious to everything that happened>

[14:02] <Reve_Hunter> <heads in the direction that dez was off to, figuring that he would know where he was going, or could at least direct her in the right direction>

[14:02] <Reve_Hunter> <makes a wrong turn and is now lost again> 

[14:02] <Reve_Hunter> Damn.

[14:03] <Reve_Hunter> I'm never going to get out of here.

[14:03] <Dez_Visir> Useless....boring..........boring...useless....

[14:03] <Dez_Visir> <He is currently rifling through Reve's desk, tossing papers and reports wherever they might land>

[14:04] <Reve_Hunter> <makes turn after turn, and then finally walks into the reporters room> 

[14:04] <Reve_Hunter> <notices the white haired gentleman rifling through her desk>

[14:05] <Reve_Hunter> EXCUSE ME?!

[14:05] <Reve_Hunter> And who are you to go through my things?

[14:05] <Dez_Visir> <Finds some sort of odd stress-relieving toy, the kind that has eyes and ears that bug out when you squeeze it>

[14:05] <Dez_Visir> Investigator....<Tosses the toy away. It squeeks upon impact.>

[14:05] <Reve_Hunter> HEY! Leave Mr. Tiggle Winkle Alone...

[14:06] <Dez_Visir> ...<Looks over his shoulder at Reve> Tiggle....Winkle?

[14:06] <Reve_Hunter> GRR! <picks up toy and then pats it affectionately> Yes, Tiggle Winkle. Mr. Tiggle Winkle my stress relief toy. I have one at every station.

[14:07] <Dez_Visir> .......<He's dumbfounded for a moment, then goes back to rummaging through her desk>

[14:07] <Reve_Hunter> Now, Mr. Well Dressed Invistigator, who are you?

[14:07] <Reve_Hunter> And why are you going through MY desk?

[14:07] <Dez_Visir> The Silencer.....

[14:08] <Reve_Hunter> Oh great, the Silencer...well, what good are you if you silence all the reporters? That's nonsense, who sent you?

[14:08] <Dez_Visir> <Whistles a shortened version of some song. The Silencer's trademark theme song, to be exact.>

[14:08] <Dez_Visir> DeMatin....

[14:08] <Dez_Visir> <Looks at a tape>

[14:08] <Dez_Visir> No labels....must be illegal.

[14:08] <Dez_Visir> <Tosses it into the trash>

[14:08] <Reve_Hunter> Where would news be without us? Oh, DeMatin <rolls eyes> the eccentric millionaire who no one ever sees...would be his idea wouldn't it.

[14:09] <Reve_Hunter> Well, tell him I want a raise while you're at it.

[14:09] <Dez_Visir> Alright...but he told me to fire anyone that asks for a raise...

[14:10] <Dez_Visir> <Scratches his head, then takes out a small notepad from his pocket and jots down something>

[14:10] <Reve_Hunter> <looks at the tape and then picks it up from the trash> Hey...that was my copy of Keith's cooking show...

[14:10] <Dez_Visir> Lovely....

[14:10] <Reve_Hunter> It was a good recipe...but then again, it may taste like shit, so I'd probably throw it out too..

[14:10] <Dez_Visir> <Sits down on top of her desk, with one foot on the seat of her chair>

[14:10] <Reve_Hunter> But that's besides the point, You can't just come in here and scare all these reporters half to death.

[14:11] <Reve_Hunter> We have a job to do, and you're interfering

[14:11] <Dez_Visir> My job, Ms....what is your name?

[14:11] <Reve_Hunter> <walks slowly towards him, and slowly takes his foot off her chair and then sits down in it> It's rude to put your feet on someone's chair, didn't anyone teach you that? And my name is Ms. Rêve Hunter.

[14:12] <Reve_Hunter> <stares at Mr. Silencer as if he should know who she is>

[14:12] <Dez_Visir> Damn.....

[14:12] <Dez_Visir> <Goes back to writing back onto the notepad>

[14:12] <Reve_Hunter> <stands up and tries to see what he's writing down> and what exactly are you writing up?

[14:13] <Reve_Hunter> What exactly are you investigating? The embez....um I mean...

[14:13] <Reve_Hunter> <swears under her breath>

[14:16] <Dez_Visir> <What he's writing down just looks like chicken scratch>

[14:16] <Dez_Visir> <He pulls his notepad away> Notes.

[14:16] <Reve_Hunter> <looks at his writing> hmm...is that a new form of short hand?

[14:16] <Reve_Hunter> <grabs the notepad from him> I've not seen it before.

[14:17] <Dez_Visir> <It's totally illegible>

[14:17] <Reve_Hunter> <examines and studies it closely then hands it back> 

[14:17] <Dez_Visir> <Snatches the notepad back, now irritated>

[14:17] <Reve_Hunter> And you understand this?

[14:18] <Dez_Visir> Of course I do. It's my handwriting....

[14:19] <Reve_Hunter> Listen, stop scowling at me. If you'll excuse me, I'd like to have my desk back. I've been so rudely invaded, my desk is in disarray, and well, there's a story to tell...so if you could please kindly get off my desk, it'd be greatly appreciated, Mr. Silencer.

[14:20] <Dez_Visir> <He lowers his glasses. If Reve were psychic, she could tell that he's using some sort of effect right now. It's meant to cause intimidation.>

[14:20] <Reve_Hunter> <stares at Dez> And you could stop trying that, I'm a psychic too...you can't intimidate me.

[14:20] <Reve_Hunter> <ignores him, and begins to clean her desk around where he's sitting>

[14:21] <Dez_Visir> <Grumbles, then pushes his glasses back up>

[14:21] <Dez_Visir> You're definitely going into my report...

[14:21] <Dez_Visir> I'm going to need your phone number and address.

[14:21] <Reve_Hunter> <smiles to herself> That's fine...what? Phone Number and Address? Well Mr. Investigator AKA Silencer, if you were so good, wouldn't you have that information at your disposal?

[14:22] <Reve_Hunter> I'm not going to do your legwork for you.

[14:22] <Dez_Visir> Don't be difficult, Ms. Hunter....

[14:23] <ReveHunter> <sighs> alright.

[14:23] <ReveHunter> Which address would you like?

[14:23] <Dez_Visir> ...You do live in the New York area, don't you?

[14:24] <ReveHunter> I live in Many Places Mr. Silencer

[14:24] <ReveHunter> My real home though is in North Carolina

[14:24] <Dez_Visir> Well....do you have a main one?

[14:24] <ReveHunter> Chapel Hill

[14:25] <Dez_Visir> Alright....and the address there would be?

[14:25] <ReveHunter> Very well, it's 323 Hunter Ranch Road...Chapel Hill, NC 12345 

[14:25] <Dez_Visir> <Writes that all down...> And your phone number?

[14:25] <ReveHunter> by the way...how did you know I was in New York?

[14:26] <Dez_Visir> Lucky guess...

[14:27] <ReveHunter> 704-555-1234

[14:27] <Dez_Visir> <Writes that down as well> And are you single....

[14:27] <ReveHunter> yes...HEY, what does that matter?

[14:28] <ReveHunter> what kind of investigation are you holding?

[14:28] <Dez_Visir> Data collection.

[14:28] <ReveHunter> oh.

[14:28] <Dez_Visir> Now....do you like holding hands and romantic walks on the beach...?

[14:28] <Dez_Visir> <Is saying this all in a very professional manner>

[14:29] <ReveHunter> yes, single, no dependents, been living at my home for 19 years, I have completed university, an annual income of 200,000 Credits a year...anything else Census Silencer?

[14:29] <Dez_Visir> Hmmm.....<Takes a sheet of paper out of his pocket and looks at it>

[14:29] <ReveHunter> um...this is a bit of a personal investigation don't you think? <taken off guard by the question> I do, but that's none of your business

[14:29] <Dez_Visir> I'm just going by the guidelines, Ms. Hunter...

[14:30] <Dez_Visir> <Checks something off on the sheet of paper>

[14:30] <ReveHunter> and DeMatin cares if his reporters enjoy holding hands and romantic walks on the beach? 

[14:30] <ReveHunter> i highly doubt that for some reason.

[14:30] <Dez_Visir> Yes. He does.

[14:30] <ReveHunter> strange man...

[14:30] <ReveHunter> why do i actually believe you.

[14:30] <Dez_Visir> <Holds out the paper towards her. It's all typed up. Next to each of the questions, there's a check box, and the one that's been last checked is the question about holding hands.>

[14:31] <ReveHunter> <looks at the check off sheet> Christ, you are serious.

[14:31] <Dez_Visir> Now....<Takes the sheet back>

[14:31] <Dez_Visir> Would you consider dating a man in his 60's?

[14:32] <Dez_Visir> <Somewhere, DeMatin is laughing his creepy, rasping laugh>

[14:32] <ReveHunter> <sits back down on her chair, and begins to munch on some cashews that were in a little cannister on her desk...at the question, she almost chokes, and spews it out> EXCUSE ME?

[14:32] <Dez_Visir> Men in their 60's...would you date one?

[14:32] <ReveHunter> NO, i would NOT consider dating a man in his 60s.

[14:32] <Dez_Visir> Alright....

[14:32] <Dez_Visir> Final question. If you were to marry a man in his 60's, theoretically, would you sign a pre-nuptial?

[14:33] <ReveHunter> I find that proposterous let alone almost grounds for sexual harassment....yes, I would sign a prenupt.

[14:33] <ReveHunter> to secure MY holdings.

[14:33] <Dez_Visir> <Checks that off> Uh-huh...

[14:33] <Dez_Visir> Well, I suppose that's all for now.

[14:33] <ReveHunter> he may run me over with his motor chair 

[14:33] <ReveHunter> who knows what could happen with a senior in your bed...

[14:33] <ReveHunter> <shudders>

[14:34] <Dez_Visir> <Gets off of her desk, dusting his pants off> You should clean this stuff up.

[14:34] <Dez_Visir> <Writes down on his notepad> "Messy...workplace..."

[14:34] <ReveHunter> I have full intention to, you were in my way

[14:35] <Dez_Visir> Hmm...Hunter....NC....

[14:35] <Dez_Visir> <Taps his pen against his chin in thought>

[14:35] <ReveHunter> by the way, Mr. Silencer, is your name really that? I don't think it is.

[14:35] <ReveHunter> Retrotech Inc. if you're wondering.

[14:35] <Dez_Visir> It's the only name I'm going to give you, Ms. Hunter. Company policy...

[14:35] <Dez_Visir> Retrotech?! I mean....Retrotech? Why would you be working for a rival company?

[14:35] <ReveHunter> Didn't want those gears working overtime.

[14:36] <ReveHunter> Well, I don't really consider it rival.

[14:36] <ReveHunter> Retrotech doesn't own a TV station or recording label.

[14:36] <ReveHunter> You're the best. So I chose you. 

[14:36] <ReveHunter> <all this matter of factly>

[14:36] <Dez_Visir> I'm flattered.

[14:37] <ReveHunter> No need to be, it's not your company, you just work for it, I guess DeMatin really deserves the flattery, however after that quiz i'm going to reserve praise

[14:37] <ReveHunter> I don't participate in Retrotech's affairs, really didn't inherit the love for Mobile Suits my parents have.

[14:38] <Dez_Visir> Mobile Suits...I see....

[14:38] <ReveHunter> My brother is closer to being a child of their own hearts...i well, I just spend their money <said almost guiltily...ALMOST>

[14:39] <Dez_Visir> Hmm...not a very good daughter, are you?

[14:39] <ReveHunter> black sheep more like it. However, home is home, I love my family dearly, we just have different business pursuits that's all, it's to be expected.

[14:39] <ReveHunter> now, are we finished Mr. Silencer?

[14:40] <ReveHunter> I have to go about editing this wine documentary

[14:40] <ReveHunter> and I'd like to get the narration done.

[14:40] <Dez_Visir> Wine? I don't recall this station being assigned anything about a wine documentary...

[14:41] <ReveHunter> It's not, actually NY commissioned it, the vineyard is merely on L1, i figured while i'm here, to just pop into the station and work on it.

[14:41] <Dez_Visir> Oh....I see. L1? Which colony?

[14:42] <ReveHunter> to be honest, I don't know, the camerman had the directions, he flew the shuttle over...it was the Graydon Hall Winery....beautiful villa, great wine

[14:43] <ReveHunter> said that AC 225 was a good year.

[14:43] <Dez_Visir> Graydon. I think I've been there....<He's still writing things down>

[14:43] <ReveHunter> plan to buy myself a bottle when i get back.

[14:44] <ReveHunter> Really nice people actually, and they stick to traditional methods, have a little gallery on the history of wine

[14:44] <ReveHunter> quite a charming estate.

[14:44] <Dez_Visir> Uh-huh.....<He seems to have lost his whole air of proffesional intimidation....and is now more of a casual person.>

[14:45] <ReveHunter> If I were to retire, I'd like to either have a place like that or a Ranch like home...where I can ride my horse and be swept away in the breeze...<loses herself as well, almost forgetting that she was meaning to not like this Mr. Silencer>

[14:45] <Dez_Visir> <"Distracted....">

[14:46] <Dez_Visir> That sounds nice......I've always liked horses....but uh...<Shakes his head> I'm getting side-tracked here.

[14:46] <ReveHunter> mmm...could you picture, sitting down on the patio, the sun bright, illuminating a field of grapes, ready for the picking, the aroma tantalizing the senses, and drinking a nice glass of vintage red....

[14:46] <ReveHunter> oh yes..any more questions?

[14:47] <Dez_Visir> <Smooths back his hair and pushes up his sunglasses> Uh...no, none at all. Thank you for your time, Ms. Hunter....

[14:47] <ReveHunter> <almost embarassed that she lost her composure>

[14:47] <Dez_Visir> <Walks away, slightly confused> <"Damn it....need to stay professional......">

[14:47] <ReveHunter> <nods> I'd say it was a pleasure meeting you, but that'd be lying and would probably go into your report, however you seem quite the enigmatic fellow, with nice taste in suits i see, Armani...have a good day Mr. Silencer <smile>

[14:48] <Dez_Visir> <He stops, then looks over his shoulder. He shakes his head and starts towards the hallway again.>

[14:49] <ReveHunter> <sits back down at her desk and sorts out her sheets, and begins on that narration>

[14:49] <Dez_Visir> Get it together, Dez....

[14:49] <Dez_Visir> <"I need a cold shower and a drink."> <He exits through the station doors, and walks towards the parking lot>

[14:50] <Dez_Visir> <Another reporter walks over to Reve, apparently he's flabbergasted> [Richard] "Do you realize who that was?!"

[14:50] <ReveHunter> hmm..."Imagine, owning your very own vineyard...the sun shining, the grapes, ready for the picking...you're sitting there, drinking a nice red..." hey, good thing that i talked to that fellow...

[14:51] <Dez_Visir> <Dez unlocks his car and sits down, starting up the engine>

[14:52] <ReveHunter> <glances up at richard, annoyed> You're disturbing me richard, and after that little fiasco last night, I really don't want to talk to you, but yes, that was Mr. Silencer.

[14:52] <ReveHunter> <looks on desk and sees a wallet> wait....

[14:52] <ReveHunter> one moment richard.

[14:52] <Dez_Visir> [Richard] "Not just Mr. Silencer, he's The Silencer and and....."

[14:53] <ReveHunter> <runs towards the parking lot hoping to catch Mr. Silencer...notices him and some other gentleman talking by a car> Dammit, it's too far to hear anything

[14:53] <Dez_Visir> Excuse me? Boss? You must be mistaken...if you're looking for DeMatin, you're going to have to reach him up in L1...

[14:54] <ReveHunter> <decides to keep the wallet and walks back inside>

[14:54] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] Right... I can see that they don't teach you boys to thinks anymore. No, I'm looking for the Silencer, or whatever the heck he calls himself nowadays.

[14:54] <Dez_Visir> ...That would be me. <He nods>

[14:54] <Cliff_Hunter> No problem

[14:54] <ReveHunter> <sits back down at her desk>

[14:54] <ReveHunter> Sorry Richard, you were saying? The Silencer and he does what?

[14:54] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas]..... quit joking. I'm not in the mood, jr.

[14:55] <Dez_Visir> [Richard] "He's only one of the best pilots to have ever flown in a war...."

[14:55] <Dez_Visir> <Dez is getting visibly irrtated.> Look mister, I don't know who you are, but I am certainly the Silencer...now if you'll please move away from my car...

[14:56] <ReveHunter> Oh, I see, no wonder he did a double take at Retrotech, he's more a mobile suit junkie...

[14:56] <Dez_Visir> [Richard] "And you were making small talk with him...wow...."

[14:56] <ReveHunter> <sighs> why must all men have an interest in mobile suits? they're alright I guess...

[14:56] <Dez_Visir> <Richard seems to be in awe>

[14:56] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] Look, kid... we've all got dreams, and maybe yours is to be "the Silencer" one of these days, but, until you grow up, you're the Silencee. So, play your part, and just shut up. <sighs>

[14:56] <Dez_Visir> Alright, that's it.

[14:57] <ReveHunter> we weren't making small talk, half of it was him asking me rediculous questions, did he ask you if you'd marry a 60 year old man?

[14:58] <Dez_Visir> <He gets out of his car and stomps over to Thomas, obviously ready to get into a fight> Now you listen here, old man, I am the Silencer, I have been the Silencer, I will always be the Silencer. You obviously have no idea what the Hell you're talking about, and if you want to insult my honor then we can settle this the old fashioned way.

[14:58] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] I don't have time for this.... <grumbles> Look, I appreciate your whole sense of pride..but I know the Silencer. For one, he's... well, taller, and older. That, and he'd have just run me over by now.

[14:58] <Dez_Visir> [Richard] "60 year old man? No...he was just asking me about how much I make."

[14:59] <Dez_Visir> Oh yeah?! Well wait right there.

[14:59] <ReveHunter> anything about holding hands walking along the beach?

[14:59] <Dez_Visir> <He walks back over to the driver's side of his car, and gets in>

[14:59] <Dez_Visir> [Richard] "No, of course not. Why would he ask questions like that?"

[14:59] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] Hey, kid. Just tell me where I can find the guy.

[15:00] <Dez_Visir> Hold on...you're about to meet the real Silencer....

[15:00] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] You're really serious... man... 

[15:00] <Dez_Visir> <Drives back in reverse, then revs up the engine and turns his car towards Thomas>

[15:00] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] <He winces, and dives to the left> Alright! <shouts> 

[15:01] <Dez_Visir> <Unfortunetly, Dez is a poor driver and crashes into a parking meter>

[15:01] <Dez_Visir> <The airbag deploys and smacks him in the face>

[15:01] <Dez_Visir> Mmf! <He fights to try and push it back>

[15:02] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] <Stands, brushing himself off. He walks to the driver's window> Smooth, dunkamph. <he grins> Now... 

[15:02] <Dez_Visir> <His hand gropes along the passenger's side, and pulls a large knife from under the seat. He holds it up to strike, and stabs the airbag>

[15:02] <Dez_Visir> <It deflates slowly>

[15:02] <Dez_Visir> <Dez's glasses are smashed>

[15:02] <Dez_Visir> Damn it...

[15:03] <ReveHunter> <looks into the wallet...hmm, Louis Vitton> Let's see...drivers license, let's hope he doesn't get into any accidents or he won't have this on hand, baby picture...how cute...a couple of bills...wait, Drivers License?

[15:03] <ReveHunter> <looks at the name> Oh, you've got to be joking.... First name Mister, Last name Silencer....Give me a break!

[15:04] <Dez_Visir> <Looks over at Thomas, now fuming.>

[15:04] <ReveHunter> I wonder how much DeMatin had to pay to hook him up with this.

[15:05] <Dez_Visir> Look, whatever your name is.....you've found me out.....

[15:05] <Dez_Visir> The other Silencer is missing, I'm the new guy...

[15:05] <ReveHunter> <continues to go through the wallet and finds a copy of the check list, this time with a heading on top that wasn't on the original one that he showed to her... Dez's Personal Sweet Talk Checklist>

[15:05] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] Congrats... you just banged up a classic piece of automobile genius... <winces> New guy?

[15:05] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] <jaw drops> New.... guy? Ah, crap...

[15:06] <Dez_Visir> That's right....I told you, I am the Silencer, and I meant it...

[15:06] <ReveHunter> <laughs to herself> quite a charmer really, too bad we had to meet under such circumstances.

[15:08] <Dez_Visir> And now...the Silencer needs to call a tow truck.

[15:08] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] How dramatic.... <sighs> Alright kiddo, I guess I'm stuck. You've got no clue where Silencer sr. is?

[15:09] <Dez_Visir> He disappeared during a battle with this bastard....Kairn....ever heard of him?

[15:12] <Dez_Visir> Yeah, well he was busy trying to bully his way into this outpost on the L3 colony...we suspect it's because it's the closest jump point to the Venus colonies....and there was this huge explosion, lots of radar interference. The both of them vanished into some asteroid field.

[15:12] <Dez_Visir> I'm still getting messages from Kairn, though. In the form of android assassins.

[15:12] <ReveHunter> <puts the wallet into her purse> Richard <almost distractedly> what else do you know about Mr. Silencer?

[15:13] <Dez_Visir> [Richard] "Well, he's supposed to be in his 30's or 40's...."

[15:14] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] Sounds like you're in deep... well, can't say I'm not surprised. <shrugs> Well, if my pals gone, that means I've got no means of talking to your people. Shame.

[15:16] <Dez_Visir> You can communicate with them through me, if you wanted to....

[15:17] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] You? I don't imagine you have enough pull to get me anywhere...

[15:18] <Dez_Visir> Not true, mister. I've got quite the influence in the corporation....

[15:19] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] Right... okay, working on the assumption that you are halfway influencial.... <sighs> Fine.

[15:19] <Dez_Visir> See, I told you....now, do you have a cell phone?

[15:20] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] <fishing around in his coat, he comes up with a cell phone> Ta dah!

[15:21] <Dez_Visir> <Takes the cell phone away and starts to dial in some numbers>

[15:21] <Dez_Visir> Hello.....DeMatin's office? Thanks.....

[15:21] <Dez_Visir> <He waits while organ muzak is played over the phone>

[15:22] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] <thinks, "Great... I come looking for the Silencer, and I get a jr. Cub Scout with an attitude problem. So much for good contacts...">

[15:22] <Dez_Visir> I heard that.

[15:23] <Dez_Visir> Uh, hello? Mr. DeMatin? I uh.....crashed the car. Oh yeah, bad traffic, I'm glad to be alive. I need another one. The research at the station went well...yeah.....

[15:23] <Dez_Visir> Well let's see, I have my notes right...<Looks around in his pocket> My wallet's missing.....damn....

[15:24] <Dez_Visir> You'll have another car waiting? Alright. Thanks...I really appreciate it. Ok, I'll keep in touch. <He closes the cell phone and tosses it back to Thomas>

[15:24] <Dez_Visir> I dropped my wallet somewhere inside of the station, I need to go look for it.

[15:24] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] <Shrugs, catching his phone> Fine.

[15:25] <Dez_Visir> Call a tow truck. Make yourself useful.

[15:25] <Dez_Visir> <He gets out of his car and walks back towards the station, trying to smooth out his clothes and look as if nothing happened>

[15:25] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] <glares, and then, realizing that Silencer jr. is his only source, does so.>

[15:26] <ReveHunter> <still writing up the narration, biting her pencil, she's reclining in her chair, deep in thought>

[15:26] <Dez_Visir> <Dez enters the television station again, much to the dismay of the staff there.>

[15:26] <Dez_Visir> [Shift Manager] "Something I can help you with, Mr.Silencer?

[15:27] <Dez_Visir> Yes, I dropped my wallet.....have you seen it? Black leather, it's got a gold "S" insignia on the front...?

[15:27] <Dez_Visir> [Shift Manager] "No, not at all, but we can help you find it...isn't that right, guys?

[15:27] <ReveHunter> <notices a stirring in the office> bloody hell, you'd think the queen were coming to visit.

[15:27] <Dez_Visir> <The other staff members scramble around, eyes to the ground>


[15:28] <ReveHunter> <turns to her laptop and begins to type out her draft>

[15:28] <Dez_Visir> <Dez retraces his steps....into the General Manager's office...then down the hallway, to Reve's desk>

[15:29] <ReveHunter> <tap tap tap tap tap> Shit...that sounds so corny..<puts on her glasses, now really resembling a reporter hard at work>

[15:29] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] <Outside, a tow truck comes along, and begins to latch itself to Dez's car .>

[15:29] <ReveHunter> <stares at the screen, oblivious to the scrambling around her, word having been spread like wildfire that Dez was back in the office>

[15:30] <Dez_Visir> <Two eyes float above the top of Reve's laptop screen. Familiar blue eyes, in fact.> Hello again, Ms. Hunter.

[15:31] <ReveHunter> <doesn't look up> Richard, is that you with the coffee? you can just leave it there....

[15:31] <ReveHunter> <waves him away>

[15:31] <ReveHunter> <continues typing>

[15:31] <ReveHunter> <sighs> I said you can leave it there. <turns around and notices Dez>

[15:32] <ReveHunter> Dez, i mean, Mr. Silencer, you came back.

[15:32] <Dez_Visir> Dez? Ha ha...uh, that's not my name....

[15:33] <ReveHunter> Oh, that's what it said on the check list...what was it...<opens up her purse to take out the wallet with the check list> Dez's Sweet talk Check list...

[15:33] <ReveHunter> I just assumed you were dez <smile>

[15:34] <Dez_Visir> That was....someone else's....Dez is just some boring guy around the office...

[15:34] <ReveHunter> oh, i see.

[15:34] <ReveHunter> <hands back the wallet and the check list>

[15:34] <ReveHunter> i'm assuming you came back for this

[15:34] <ReveHunter> I was going to call head office.

[15:35] <Dez_Visir> <Takes the wallet and checklist> Yeah, well....thanks.

[15:35] <ReveHunter> Hey...you've been to graydon hall right..

[15:35] <ReveHunter> Do you mind going over this?

[15:36] <Dez_Visir> Uh....well, sure. I guess I have some time. <Meanwhile, Thomas is left to wait outside>

[15:36] <ReveHunter> <moves her chair over so that he could have a look at her laptop> do you think it sums it up appropriately?

[15:36] <Sean`Carver> [Thomas] <sighs, glancing at his watch> Takes his time... maybe he is the Silencer. Certainly has the same concept of time.

[15:37] <ReveHunter> I wanted to paint a picture for the viewer, as if they could see themselves as lords of the manor...

[15:39] <Dez_Visir> It looks alright to me...not exactly breathtaking, but it does the job.

[15:40] <ReveHunter> <gives dez an incredelous glance> are you serious? you don't think it paints the picture? <sighs> alright, i'll go over it a bit later, i'm exhausted, and editing doesn't happen till next week, that's when i recite the narration anyways.

[15:41] <ReveHunter> <begins to pack her laptop up and puts her stuff away>

[15:41] <Dez_Visir> Just giving you my professional opinion.....

[15:42] <Dez_Visir> Is that all?

[15:42] <ReveHunter> is what all?

[15:42] <Dez_Visir> I mean, is that all you wanted...?

[15:42] <Dez_Visir> My opinion?

[15:42] <ReveHunter> well, yes.

[15:42] <Dez_Visir> Oh, alright...

[15:42] <ReveHunter> what else would I ask for? an English Tutor? would you be offering your services?

[15:43] <ReveHunter> <walks away a bit hurt that her work wasn't up to par to his standards>

[15:43] <Dez_Visir> Ah...ha ha....uh, well uh........good luck with that report?

[15:43] <ReveHunter> <mumbles> thanks.

[15:44] <Dez_Visir> <Puts his wallet back into his pocket and scratches the back of his neck>

[15:44] <Dez_Visir> <"Guess I hurt her feelings.">

[15:45] <Dez_Visir> <Walks away from the reporters' office, hands in his pockets>
