[TEXT]

[lieutenantantichrist]

Good to know. That was keeping me awake nights.

Most people do. You never mentioned it, though.

[TEXT]

[when_turks_fly]

My bad! Its Valeria!!

You nerve mentioned yuors either, nnow that I think about it!

[TEXT]

[lieutenantantichrist]

Val, that's easy enough. Every other person here goes by something that's around six syllables of goddamn Chinese.

Carter Blake.

[TEXT]

[when_turks_fly]

Its nice to meety ou!

[ But clearly the most important thing to be asked out of what he said is -- ]

Whats Chinese?

[TEXT]

[lieutenantantichrist]

What people from China speak. You know, with all the squiggly lines.

So do you have a few extra thumbs or are you drunk?

[TEXT]

[when_turks_fly]

Ive never heard of China before. Unless yuo mean china. Who names a place afte rfancy diishes?

I'm tipsy, thak nyou for noticin!

[TEXT]

[lieutenantantichrist]

The same kind of people who torture you by dripping water on your face. And who make those finger trap things where the trick is to yank until they break.

You have any idea what time it is?

[a minute later]

Doesn't matter much. I couldn't sleep anyway.

[TEXT]

[when_turks_fly]

I thuoght only Wutaian people made those fi nger thingies.

[ About half a minute later. ]

Oh cmon Blake! Dont be a party popper. Its plenty early! when was teh last time yuos tayed up and just talked?

[TEXT]

[lieutenantantichrist]

If that's your name for China, sure.

Never. I'm not a teenage girl at a slumber party. I don't have anything to chitchat about.

[May never isn't exactly true, now that he thinks about it, but Val doesn't need to know that.]

[TEXT]

[when_turks_fly]

Ive nevre heard of china before, so its probaby la dfifferent place!

You seem liek a creative guy. Im sure you cuold come up with somethin!

[TEXT]

[lieutenantantichrist]

That or you slept through a whole lot of geography classes.

Nobody's ever accused me of that before. Creativity's overrated, if you ask me.

Hey. What's your line, anyway?

[TEXT]

[when_turks_fly]

I doubt its tha tlast thin.

WAit.
what do you mean?

[TEXT]

[lieutenantantichrist]

Job. Career. What you do when you're not chasing electric rats.

[TEXT]

[when_turks_fly]

Int his world or Gaia?

[TEXT]

[lieutenantantichrist]

The real world, whatever hippy crap you want to call it.

[TEXT]

[when_turks_fly]

Im a Turk!!1

[ As though this is the most self-explanatory thing in the whole world. ]

[TEXT]

[lieutenantantichrist]

No you're not, and being Turkish isn't a job.

[TEXT]

[when_turks_fly]

No no n o! Im not Turkish. Im a Turk. Im its liek

Black ops basiclly!

[TEXT]

[lieutenantantichrist]

Nobody names their black ops after a nationality. That's gotta get confusing. You couldn't call your military police The Belgians.

If it is, announcing that means you're not real good at it.

[TEXT]

[when_turks_fly]

not relly. Its a commonly knonw fact in my worl. i mean we're identifiable by our uniforms alone an this is a text conersatin on a n unregulated dvice. course, you could make a public annoucement, but even if you did theres no one from my world here whod cause me truoble. i watch the network like a hawk fo rthem.

turks isn ta nationality where im from. our miltary police is a diffrent branch alto gether.
