PUBLIC CHANNEL

[dorkypantsuit]

The Psionic here with a very important announcement.

The sense of camaraderie in our department is at an all time low. So, to fix this, attendance at Rex the Rat's birthday party is now mandatory for all Labor Department members. Also I will be bringing twister and you absolutely will have to play.

Chiaki may have gotten out of planning, but Lars, don't think you won't have to make the food still. And I think we have someone new so if your name is Adrien and you're listening to this, please go ahead and publicly introduce yourself. Yes you will have to come to the party.

If anyone knows any party games that will force people to get up close and personal, I'm open to suggestions.

[Just laughter.]

Is that a no?

[dontpokethat]

That's a "you know perfectly well what I meant, don't make this sound bad for your own amusement". So, yes, it's a no.

[dorkypantsuit]

But I like being amused.

[dontpokethat]

Do you have to do it at my expense? The answer to that is, 'no', by the way.

[dorkypantsuit]

I'm sorry Ginko, but you make it so easy.

[dontpokethat]

Well, maybe you should challenge yourself more and not take such easy targets.

[dorkypantsuit]

I'll try.

[But will he really? No, probably not.]

Troll's honor.

[dontpokethat]

[Yeaaahh he doesn't really believe that. Ginko sighs.]

I sure hope so. What am I supposed to do otherwise, just assume everything you say is some kind of innuendo?

[Well...]

[dorkypantsuit]

Well...

[dontpokethat]

...Are you saying I should? Because I could just start ignoring you if that's the case, but I don't think either of us would consider that an ideal solution.

[dorkypantsuit]

Are you saying you'd miss having actual conversations with me Ginko?

[dontpokethat]

Well... yeah. What's your point?

[dorkypantsuit]

[Well, he was trying to tease you, but now that's backfired in his face.]

..Nothing.

I'll try to cut you some slack next time.

[dontpokethat]

[Ginko may be reluctant to admit to a lot of things, but enjoying his friends' company has never been one of them.]

I'd appreciate it. You know I'm not as equipped for that kind of conversation as some people here.

[dorkypantsuit]

... I'm only saying this so you know that I'm already staying true to my word. But it would be very easy to make a dirty joke about the state of your equipment right now.

[dontpokethat]

I--!

...

Thanks for letting me know.

[Words he apparently can't use anymore: Play, equipment...]

[dorkypantsuit]

[No Ginko, you just can't say your differently equipped to play in bed.]

No problem.

[dontpokethat]

[Better safe than sorry, okay.]

Anyway, I'll see you at the party, and... try not to be too easy a target, I guess.
