[Well the armor might be familiar to some of you. Even the coloring. And you are already swearing under your breath, aren't you?]

[If you want to know why they're swearing, just keep watching. You'll catch on.]

You know what? I thought I finally caught a break. After dealing with all that shit with the Meta, all I want to be dreaming about is swimming in sea of snack cakes. Actually, I’m pretty sure that was what I was dreaming about before I got dumped here with the theme park mascot that came in and ruined everything. Yeah sure free candy is awesome, but at what cost? A long ass information dump that I may or may not have tuned out about three seconds in?

[Spoiler alert: he did tune out the Moogle.]

Whatever, I’m going back to sleep. This actually might be the first time I’ll be glad to wake up during one of Sarge’s staff meetings.

Gee, that's a shock. And I thought you Freelancers had a hobby of making everyone else miserable. [At least judging from how shit usually got bad right after one of you show up.] Name's Grif, just in case you need it for your list.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

Hey, take it easy. I'm just wondering when you're from. We've got a bit of a timeline mixup on our hands.

[Which is to say, what do you know about the project?]

[grifball]

Take it easy? [His catchphrase and time paradoxes will have to wait. We have a rant.] Every single time one of you assholes show up things get stupid really fast. And with the way things look now, that's going to be a fucking challenge. [Maybe crawling in a hole somewhere and staying there will be effective this time.]

[allfunandgamesuntil]

Which of us have you run into before? I can see that attitude if it was Wyoming.

[York ignores Delta's silent commentary on Wyoming in favor of moving on and trying for more info.]

Where'd you meet Wash and Church?

[grifball]

Oh so you know that asshole already. Guess I need to add in Tex, and Wash, and let's not forget that Meta-fucker. [In other words: MORE THAN HE'D LIKE TO KNOW.]

Huh? Oh you saw that. Let's see, Wash was after we got reassigned the first time and Meta started dicking around, and that Church was after Caboose stuck him in some weird alien thing in Sandtrap.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

[That makes close to zero sense to him, but at least he's gotten that this guy is from after he died, which was mostly what he wanted to know. Time to steer the conversation back away from serious things.]

Huh, so Wash didn't mention me. Figures.

[grifball]

[Wait we were being serious? Kidding, Grif rarely takes things seriously.]

Hey don't take it too hard. That dick doesn't let anyone know what's up until the last fucking minute, much less bore us with stories about the old days.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

So what did Wash drag you guys into?

[Yeah, he's totally fishing for info because he can now.]

[grifball]

[Hey so long as he gets an excuse to bitch, he's going to take it.]

Well first was the thing with the Meta and those AI and taking out Project Freelancer. Then the asshole turned around and tried to kill us outright to get to Epsillon. Both cases nearly got all of us killed at one point or another.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

Sounds pretty rough. This place isn't so bad; the dream eaters aren't as tough as a freelancer, that's for sure.
