Um. Hi. It's me.

I wanted to say that I'm sorry. And ask if the socks fit.

[the_deadeye]

Yes. Hello. I know who it is.

...why do I get the obnoxious colored ones?

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

It was the only color I had!

...well, except for pink, but I didn't think you would like those.

[the_deadeye]

They're green. At least pink is a lighter red. I'm one color off from being a bad Christmas ensemble.

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

Nobody's going to see your socks under your boots, Jersey. I'm not sure what you're so worried about.

[the_deadeye]

They're NEON GREEN.

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

Sorry! I'll do better next time!

Do they at least fit?

[the_deadeye]

No it's fine. They fit. I'll just wear my boots and hope they don't come off.

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

But why would they come off if they fit?

[the_deadeye]

I was meaning my boots not the socks, Oquirrh.

hehehehehe New Felix

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

ohhhhhhh right! Well, I can only think of a few people who would see you with your boots off, so you should be okay.

Re: hehehehehe New Felix

[the_deadeye]

You better not be alluding to what I think you are.

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

Alluding? To what? It's a valid point!

[the_deadeye]

Uh hunh. I'm sure it is. They're nice regardless.

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

Thanks.

And I wanted to say I'm sorry.

[the_deadeye]

You're welcome.

...I'm sorry too. For the whole kicking you out.

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

I mean. I kind of deserved it. More than kind of, really.

And I regret doing that to you two.

[the_deadeye]

It made sense. Why you decided to go to that blue For Hire asshole. Just wasn't the best way to do it. At least you got that freedom you wanted, right?

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

I didn't want freedom for me, Jersey. I want it for Louisiana. And I'm so scared that this will backfire on her.

What Control is asking her to do, against her family? It's not right.

[the_deadeye]

Well it already is. Word is Control will be recalling us for assessments. No idea when but it'll happen sooner or later and we'll have to answer without hesitation. I have a feeling they'll test L's loyalty while there.

Well Florida should be the only one. I thought he was covered by the contract? Besides he didn't exactly seem like he couldn't handle himself.

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

No. Please, no.

You of all people how well that contract has "protect"ed him. How dare Control even pretend they're upholding their end of the contract?

[the_deadeye]

Yea. It's happening whether or not anyone likes it.

That contract you're trying to counter? It was updated after the failed capture on Florida. Wanna guess what's in it? A new name under the family clause. Butch Kain. The only Butch in the database belongs to Butch Flowers aka the Informant, the Captain or Florida. They couldn't have upheld that until the addition was made.

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

They knew what she meant by "family" long before she made that update, and they exploited the loophole that she left by not specifying who. Addding name was a formality forced on her by semantics.

She's met some good people here, Jersey. Do they deserve to have Control come after them just because they've befriended her?

[the_deadeye]

It's not their fault for taking a literal sense. It should've been done in the first place if he meant that much. However you aren't wrong.

Control isn't interested in this rookie or his family. They're retaliating for what they think was done. They believe Florida killed those men. Now ten others are added to the list the For Hires have killed. York was my fault. Louisiana is the only reason we've been working clandestine jobs unlike Armonia.

But there's been enough fighting and arguments. Let's just allow things to calm down before making any other moves.

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

You're right that there's been enough fighting. Between the teams, and between us.

It's probably too much to hope that things will smooth out between them. And us. But I really am sorry that I hurt you, Jersey.
