[They sigh, before accidentally slamming into the side of the table that holds that fragment. They swear quietly to themself before grabbing the fragment and beginning the entertainment.]

[They step off the tram, looking exhausted already. Having to go through that whole outskirts area was tiring, especially with all the extra bs there was to collect those codes...]

@the-clumsy-expendable

[Bc went through code route to get to Mantle Extraction, gonna like- input their normal monolog for the tram ride ("seems like somebody has been getting awfully nosey lately!"), but since it's after-]

"Filming will begin once you pick up that first token fragment" [they spoke]. "Good luck!" [They were feeling a little generous (? I think that's proper word), so they added the Lil 'good luck' to their bit]

[the-clumsy-expendable]

Yeesh... sorry yall for not posting much on here, my motivation went to shit. Will be trying harder to do stuff here tho! (If my brain let's me).

[the-clumsy-expendable]

Look, don't knock it til you try it. He is very polite, has a beautiful smile, and looks like he could bench press me. What's not to love?

Honestly, what do people see in the Crooked? Maybe I'm too old to understand.

[the-clumsy-expendable]

Ugh worst time of the year

[the-clumsy-expendable]

Where is that stupid fish....

[the-clumsy-expendable]

[They grab a random piece of paper and write 16 as big as they can, then folding it up and throwing it into their pocket.]

Alright. And I'll try. I mean if I wasn't safe, I would be here, now would I. Now have fun in your little security room, I'll go find that radio.

[Their tone went back to being more snarky. They are clearly trying to raise the mood a little.]

The intercom blares.

"Hey Cee can ya hear me? Turns out this booth does have an intercom and while it was locked I managed to get it working. A heads up to keep an eye out for these solider fellas down here. Don't know if ya encountered them already but watch your back. I'll monitor you from my the cams and check in from time to time"

(@stranded-urbanshade-guardsman)

[They look up to the closest camera, raising their arms in celebration.]

That's amazing! And those soldiers have let me be for now. They either haven't noticed me or don't think I matter. Appreciate the extra set of eyes though, will make life easier.

[the-clumsy-expendable]

Yeah... knowing Urbanshade you're already legally dead.

[They sit there and thinks for a moment.]

Which means welcome to the club! I think I've been legally dead for a year or two now. I don't have that much info and I'm not special enough to get a file, so not sure.

[They groan as they open the next door.]

And most likely, to save on resources, everything else here is basically dead once it gets grabbed. Well dead or recaptured. If they send more guards you get your rescue, so you have that to look forward to. Maybe even a retirement.

[the-clumsy-expendable]

Geeze... Urbanshade really is a horrible mess isn't it. If their main focus for hire is a bunch of criminals or people who are losing the game of life, I'm surprised the lockdown didn't happen sooner.

[They laugh to themself a little, before pushing off the desk lightly.]

I'm going to continue forward, I need to find a radio and all that. You can continue talking, just expect me to miss something from time to time.

[the-clumsy-expendable]

[They stop moving for a bit, before sighing and putting their hands on a desk.]

I would prefer to not say, if that's alright. It's not something I'm very fond of remembering or thinking about. I made mistakes, now I'm facing the consequences.

[They nod, looking away from the camera.]

Yeah I've read his document and everything he's done. Bastard sells the damn thing for a good chunk of research. He is, sadly, the main way to get supplies when not scavenging for it, and the most efficient way to learn about the entities. I don't trust him, but he'll play nice if I do, so I'm not worried. If it's an issue I'll go scavenge instead.

[They have begin searching through drawers, continuing to pocket anything that seems helpful. They bump into a few desk corners, but don't react to it.]

[the-clumsy-expendable]

If I find a corpse with it I will let you know!

[They do a small salute to the camera, grinning like a madman.]

Actually I could see if the fish has any I can buy from him... would save time and make me not smell like a corpse.

Yeah this place clearly wasn't built with comfort in mind, even for the employees, apparently. But good luck having them bring anyone down to ya, they've only been sending... y'know criminals and all that. Too dangerous to send anyone else.

[They dig through their bag and grab out some medical supplies, likely from one of the many medkits strewn about.]

You can take those while you're here, I'll be off. I prefer to not be in the same place for too long, those angler things seem to like circling around areas people have been. Good luck McDougal, and let's hope Urbanshade will at least spare some expense in getting one of their own back.

[They wave, and leave the security room. The sound of them falling is heard, as well as the sound of them scrambling back up and walking away.]

[They walk down the hallway, humming to themself while grabbing random bits of research and throwing it into their bag. They turn the corner to see a guardsman.]

Oh... o-oh no is Urbanshade sending guards down here now? Dang it, knew they were going to notice I disconnected the bomb...

[They are panicking, going through their bag trying to find anything to defend themself with.]

-Clumsy Expendable

"Woah woah woah hold on there pal I don't want any trouble! I am unarmed and have no desire to hurt ya" He says in a hastily fashion raising his hands to show he means no harm.

"How about you don't take anything out of that bag you have and we just talk about this?"

[the-clumsy-expendable]

Aye ai, captain!

[They say jokingly, doing a small salute along with it. They move, stumbling a little, and reach the window. They close the shudders fairly quickly.]

I've been looking for one of these rooms, since there had to be at least one somewhere with all the cameras out and around. Camera access would make dealing with all of the things that oh so love to run around screaming easier to deal with. That and I could use the P.A. system to annoy people who show up, rather than Hq do their whole run down, boring son of a gun.

[the-clumsy-expendable]

[They nod, again, begining to walk that direction, even though they don't know exactly where they are heading.]

Most likely thing that will sneak up is probably one of those wall things, and they can be delt with if you just hit them hard enough... usually.

[They nod, laughing a little.]

Might as well try to guarantee my survival, be it with so many odds stacked against me. I'm Cee, by the way. Most people just call me Clumsy though, so either works.

[They reach their hand out to shake, smiling.]

It's nice to see any type of friendly face here, other than that fish.
