Man. Just when I swore I'd never ever get involved with anything SERO ever puts out there that's gimmicky, and then...

"Thermographic Night Vision Contacts".  What are those, they help you see better in the dark, but without goggles or anything? Do they really work? For stuff like...monster tracking, like Darwin-work, you think that'd really help a lot? Be useful?

I'm not even allowed in the arcade, but maybe I could borrow Riku's ID and get in on a late-entry team, if they're still takin' em. Is anybody here any good at laser-tag?

What's laser-tag?

[voice]

[madeinoblivion]

It's a game? You have...fake-guns, and vests, and...you try and shoot the other team's base?

I've only watched it once before, but it doesn't look too hard.

[voice]

[benditlikekorra]

Well, you have to have pretty good aim to be a pro-bender. I wouldn't mind giving it a shot.

[Voice]

[not_the_dreck]

...what the hell are you suggesting?

[And why are you suggesting it in public?]

[Voice]

[madeinoblivion]

You'd want to win a prize like that too, right?

[Voice]

[not_the_dreck]

Well, it would be... useful.

[As much as he hated to admit it.]

[presspasskey]

I'm pretty boss at it. I think I might be out of shape, but hey, it might make the playing field more level.

Though as far as the goggles go, I'd be worried about SERO lo-jacking them, or planting cameras, or a trigger to turn them off somehow.

[madeinoblivion]

Finally, somebody who's done this before! Is it easy?

...well, I guess we could look into it- you're right though, it does sound exactly like what SERO would do.

[presspasskey]

Depends who you're playing against, mostly. Using the equipment's easy, though.

[ Lois is being a wee bit arrogant here, but that's not unusual. ]

Hey, doesn't mean we can't grab 'em. At the least, we could take them to a secure--and unidentifiable--location and see if there aren't some techies who can scan for it, disable whatever needs it.

Do you really need such a thing?

[madeinoblivion]

No [you can hear his eyerolling] But it would be cool.

[capax_infiniti]

Do they make something that works for your nose as well?

Locked as she knows how to make it

[whitefeathered]

[Oh, Joe.]

Mm, are those kinds of contacts for sale anywhere else?

[madeinoblivion]

I don't know.

Probably for a lot of munny.

[whitefeathered]

You might want to find out for sure.

SERO might be fine with putting something out they haven't tested yet.

[bratziska]

... Why aren't you allowed in the arcade?

[Relevant questions.]

Re: voice;

[madeinoblivion]

Oh. Uh...

I was a little...reckless, there? One time I went with a friend?

[Intentionally sabotaging arcade games. Uh huh. Reckless.]

voice;

[bratziska]

Oh. Property destruction or vandalism.

[Not the most exciting of stories.] You should be lucky you didn't get into more trouble.

How could borrowing someone else's ID help you if you're banned from the arcade?

Re: [text]

[madeinoblivion]

We look the same.

[mouthbreathing]

That's... a useful coincidence. Wouldn't lying like that bother you, though? They must have a reason for keeping you out.

voice;

[motioned]

Are you sure it's safe to do anything related to SERO?

Re: voice;

[madeinoblivion]

Probably not, but most people don't think it's safe to go fighting monsters, either.

Sometimes you gotta live a little, no matter if things could be dangerous.

[pullsheavendown]

Do you really need much help getting around in the dark?

[madeinoblivion]

Have you ever wondered what you look like with heat vision?
