If you say so. You're probably going to want to look out for him if you aren't already. I don't know much about his...deal with Getaway, other than what you told me, but it sounds absolutely fucked. [ She doesn't doubt Riptide would do that already, though. She just feels the need to reinstate it. ]

Then they'd better be people you trust. Because otherwise this shit could blow up in about fifty different ways. [ She sighs, and grumbles to herself. ] I can't believe I'm doing this again.

I know.

[he sounds a little peeved. he knows what he has to do with that!!]

They are-- I wouldn't tell just anyone. Seeing as the point was not getting nullified and thrown in jail in the first place.

Do I even want to ask what you mean by nullified... [ That's not really a question. Sometimes Riptide is a bit too much. ]

Okay. I...don't know if "thanks for telling me" is what I'm supposed to say here. [ He'll get what she means. ] But you'd better be careful. And you need to tell me if Woden fucks with you for this, for his own dipshit reasons. Rubbing it in or whatever he's getting off on this week.

They have power nullifiers here. I got one slapped on me when me and Vos got into a fight.

[it probably sounds like the problem is riptide, but he's just really unlucky. (and very angry and ready to fight).]

Oh, don't worry. I'm sure if that happens he'll call you in tears after I leave him on a roof somewhere.

I also don't know if I even want to ask why you got in that fight.

[ But her voice trails off when she thinks about what he just said. Hmm. ]

First off- I wouldn't even answer the fucking call if that happened. He'll probably call Baal, if anybody. More importantly- where did the power nullifiers come from? The government?

Vos's teammate murdered one of my best friends, and he was taunting me about it. I don't regret it.

[riptide's life just sucks, honestly.]

I think so? You'd have to ask Jacob about them. I know RISE showed up with 'em but I don't know if they're imPort made or not.

Jesus, okay. [ There really is no end to terrible shit that's happened to Riptide. She barely knows what to say anymore. ] I see why you don't. Are all the people from your world who show up here assholes? Minus Tailgate?

[ As for the nullifiers...hm. She may have to tell Baal about this. ] And then I'll just have to look into those. It might be useful with dealing with this Woden bullshit...

Pretty much. We've been really unlucky, actually. Probably doesn't look good for your race when the only reps are two idiots and a group of psychos who probably eat protoforms for fun.

[he makes a small noise, like a lightbulb went off inside his giant empty skull.]

Oh! I hadn't thought of that! No, that might be a good peaceful resolution. Instead of, uh. All the other stuff.

Oh, I know the feeling. Probably not as fucked as you have it, but... [ She grumbles. ] Woden's more than enough to deal with.

And, yeah, it would. I'm tired of us just being caught in a loop of taking Woden out once a month. Like I told you- it's not an actual solution, it's just pushing this bullshit along. We need to find a way to end it.

[ She'd like to feel safe, for once. ]

Don't compare. It doesn't matter how bad one or the other of us has stuff.

...Well, talk to RISE about it. See if they can help. This probably isn't something you actually have to deal with alone, and I know it's the height of hypocrisy for that to come from me but...

...

...I got nothin'. Woden isn't 20ft tall?

I...right. [ She's the kind of person who feels the need to put everything in levels, though she knows what Riptide says is true. ]

No. He's fucking short, actually. I'm not even that tall and he's like a head shorter. [ Weird! ] He did once build a mech about your height. But it wasn't sentient and basically existed to shoot lasers out of the tits it didn't need. He likes everyone and their mum to know his shithead fetishes, clearly.

...

[despite himself, there's a short snort of laughter from the other end of the feed.]

That's awful. What did you do with it?

[ The laugh breaks the tension, a little. It was disturbing for a lot of reasons...but it was also so over-the-top that it was kind of funny. ]

The fight it was in deflated like a popped balloon once I showed up and told everyone to actually focus on the person causing the problem they were punching each other over...so I'm guessing Woden just found a way to put it in storage. For all we know he's making another one to terrorize us with.

[ Oh, wait, hm. That thought makes it stop being that amusing, and as she speaks her tone changes to accommodate the feeling. ]

If he is, he definitely doesn't know that I can summon a gun that can easily destroy anything human-made.

[brainstorm's weapons, as over the top as they are... they're useful. no-one can deny that.]

You do? [ Is that hyperbole or literal, she wonders. ] Is that the point of the gun?

That, and you'd have to hope it works on Pantheon tech. I think Persephone's the only one of us who can actually break Woden's shit.

Nah. It's just really big.

[which... sound logic? sorta?]

Well, the only way we'll find out is if he's actually doing that, and if my gun wouldn't work I'd just... I don't know.

[SAID VERY SERIOUSLY:] Punch its tits off.

Of course it is. [ Riptide. She should know you this well by now. ]

You'd have to punch its tits off, honestly. [ Okay, maybe her mood is improving again. ] Robots don't even need fucking tits. Woden is depressingly predictable sometimes.
