[open] They didn't have taro ice cream bars and I'm still vaguely butthurt.

[convictionary]

Who: Gaius (convictionary) and various and sundry other people, yes, it's ice cream time.
When: Post-Lasker intro log
Where: Lasker, starting off in an ice cream parlor because I can.
What: Investigating Lasker stuff while eating ice cream.
Rating: Probably some innuendo and mild cursing because it's me, and I might use a vulgar metaphor and/or analogy at some point.

[So, as Gaius stared at the ice cream bar shaped vaguely like Kaito's head (chocolate flavored) he couldn't help but say.]

That ain't right.

[They could get to Double Duo and doing other things in a second. Right now he's distracted by ice cream bars shaped like people he knew.]

[Hux only nods, once] I believe that would be the most advantageous option. The less we are recognized, the better...though it seems to me that we will stand out like sore thumbs at this rate. Blanc has seen to that. [what with their uniforms]

[convictionary]

If you're desperate I can fix that. [Five fingered discount, cloaks or some shit to drape themselves within.] But believe you me, the quicker we get away from the...you know [Hero thing.] the better, Hux.

[Nom on Kaito's ear.]

[endoftherepublic]

[he snorts softly at that] Being recognizable can sometimes be to the advantage of a fighting force, but I'm afraid not only with the uniforms but with the missions they are assigned, they are of little use.

Though, I do not doubt that it will be better for us the sooner we get away from it. [he's not a fan.]

What do you make of the clues left behind?

[convictionary]

What I make is that some people we know need a hobby.

[Immediate response! It's actually a conclusion he's reached before this talk.]

Figured it was best to leave the...scholarly folk to it. Get them to get some... [Generic hand wave.] answers outta it. Better them than me.

[endoftherepublic]

Oh? You don't prefer to work them out on your own? [more curiosity than judgement. He'll be interested in Gaius's answer--it might further define how Hux might be able to use him in the future.]

[convictionary]

Don't get me wrong. If it was just me, sure, I'd take a crack at it. And if it was just a few of us against this world you'd bet I'd be straining my brain over what they mean. But, as is...I figure I got better things to worry about and our bosses got better people for the job. You know. Local people. Smart people. People who know the area and what's going on, things only folk who're born here can pick up on.

And just between you and me [And maybe a couple of other people he'll later mention this to, but it's a small crowd.] I don't blame those of us who take a crack at it. But, personally speaking? I kind of want to see what our bosses come up with before swooping in and trying to help them out with yet another thing. Would be real telling if they needed us to bail them out on this one.

[Any dramatics involved in this statement was ruined by the fact he was eating ice cream the entire time and was occasionally punctuating his sentences by taking bites here and there.]
