The Mess Room - Discussion Thread - OOC

[Matarael IX]

Thought I'd construct this thread to cover standard topics of discussion. Anything will do: the guild, life outside of work, whatever. Just make sure not to stray from the realms of sanity and say something disperaging to the corporation. That will not be tolerated.

Good plan, M.

Let me get the ball rolling by making it known that I have just come to possess a large sum of money, about 90k of Gaia's pitiful gold coins, and have started a new quest for physical greatness. However, with my superior mathematical skills, I have realised that this sum doesn't even come close to the dream. 90,000 / 3,000,000. I'll explain how it goes as time progresses.

This brings up an interesting point: I may be your lord and master, but even I have to scrape together to buy some things.  

[Matarael IX]

90,000g, huh? You could get someone killed for that. Of course, you could just ask one of us and we could do it for free. Have anyone in mind, sir?

 

[Van Allen]

I appreciate the offer, Matar, but that really won't be necessary right now. Unless... perhaps this is a good time to initiate Operation Blackmail My Little Brother Aka Mudokon Reborn...

Maybe not, it's unethical, and he has the money to buy a small defense force to counterattack. I'd win, of course, but think of the paperwork.

No, I shall continue to press on to my original goal, unless anyone else has any better ideas.  

[Matarael IX]

Understood, sir. By the way, have you been exploiting the services of the TekTek corporation? I only ask because its influence is growing, and would be a valuable asset to us.

 

[Van Allen]

Indeed, I have been looking over at them recently. In fact, they were the ones that compiled the resource-list needed to plan for the great quest in question.

I'm not sure we should buy them out just yet, not when they've only just added the April Donation Items to their stores.

Just reached 100,000 Gold, I'm sure you'll be pleased to know. That's exactly 30% of the money I need.

((In hindsight, this post makes no sense. Ignore it.))  

[Van Allen]

Another notice, my loyal minions. This post you see before you was written and implemented using a Nintendo Wii. Another weapon in our arsenal...  

[Van Allen]

Has anybody ever considered just how much three million gold is? I have been saving now for a good couple of months, earning as much as is humanly possible every night (almost) and I've barely got 5% of the money.

Yeah, that percentage a couple of posts down was a downright lie. I haven;t had a maths lesson in years.

Heeeelp!
I want a new name, I'm sick of this one! But I'm all out of suggestions... little help? ^-^;  

[Van Allen]

Something to distance yourself from your brother perhaps? You've always had a thing for the word 'Aria', so why not that. Though it's more than likely been taken already. Something else wind-themed, then.
I see here on the side of the Hellsing OVA box the words 'The Bird of Hermes', how's that?  

[Van Allen]

So these new Monthly Collectables, then. They consist of serious win, do they not. And cheap, too, at least they are now. I mean, look at me. Just look.

Your thoughts?
