[See Kakine. See Kakine looking completely drained and pissed off. Not like that's too out of the ordinary...]

That's it. Damn it. Really? I've completely given up on this place revealing its true nature or me being able to leave. Fine. Whatever.

But, considering I'm not an idiot or easily amused, which is hard to come by here -- what do I do to pass the time without embarrassing myself? Get a job, and do someone else's lowly dirty work? Have fun in all the pointless competitions and shit? Make pleasant conversation? Like hell. I'll keep my dignity. [and his oversized ego.]

I wouldn't have made this public if it was just me whining about being bored...I need a goal to work towards. So. Who wants a partner in crime? ...So to speak. [Smirk.] What I'm offering is experience in underground operations. I have a few ideas for some...investigations, and operations, myself. Though I'd be willing to help out for someone else as long as I'm given adequate respect for my abilities.

Feel free to inquire. Don't feel free to lecture me on why I'm an asshole, since that seems to happen a lot here.

My, my, someone sure sounds desperate.

[ippotsuko]

Maybe you should take the fucking hint, then.

[dark_matter]

Oh, stop. You're hurting my feelings.

[dark_matter]

Haha. Enlighten me, Accelerator, what's the moral of the story that I haven't caught on to yet?

[Entries like these attract him like a starving man to a free 'all-you-can-eat' buffet.]

... Really. Suppose it's one thing to be an arse in public and all that--no, no I really don't care so I'm certainly avoiding that lecture you've so brilliantly circumvented-- [casts his eyes up and shrugs.]

--but you do realize everybody knows your face and voice now; we'll all associate you with the phrases "partner in crime" and "underground operations."

Good job mate, bet all the prospective partners you're looking for have just added "shit awful at discretion" to that little list.

Please. Where I come from I work underground even though everyone I'm working against knows exactly who I am. It's not a matter of concealing your identity. I don't give a shit if people know I'm up to no good. Nobody's ever caught me yet, because I'm good at what I do and I'm not stupid.

[bursting into laughter.]

Good Lord, tell me you're not serious.

[dark_matter]

Someone I don't know thinks I'm stupid? Oh, no! My feelings are just getting hurt over and over again. I might cry.

[unionjackass]

Didn't say that, did I? Assumptions, honestly.

Go on then, keep talking! I want to see if Asgard can withstand an ego this size.

[histories]

Why not get a hobby instead? Reading is always a possibility, among other hobbies.

Does a place this size even HAVE an "underground"? Seems rather isolated.

[parasiteye]

Skills? [ as in, LIST 'EM 8> ]

[orphean]

It's not very underground if everyone knows about it, is it?

Re: video;

[dark_matter]

Some people have an ego because they're self absorbed and clueless. Some people are just aware of their talents.

[dark_matter]

...

Are you fucking kidding me.

[dark_matter]

Every community has things going on behind closed doors that would surprise you.

[dark_matter]

If they know how it operates and what its goals are? Yes.
If they're only aware it exists? No.

Re: Video

[a_most_debonair_corsair]

And something makes you think you can tap into that? You're barely a boy.

[dark_matter]

I'm willing to take on dangerous and difficult duties if I can take charge. I'm experienced with locating and dealing with anyone you might want to get dirt on or capture, and I won't question the reason. If it's ever necessary, I'm as knowledge as they come when it comes to advanced mathematics and physics.

[dark_matter]

Haha! Like you know anything! Where I come from, I've got a pretty impressive resume.

Re: Video

[a_most_debonair_corsair]

[That earns a small smirk from him. He leans back in his seat, tipping his hat back.]

Oh really? Do tell, then. Impress Johnny.

[dark_matter]

...Let me make sure you'd understand what I do enough for this to be worth wasting my time explaining.

Do you know what an esper is?

Re: Video

[a_most_debonair_corsair]

Not really. Lay it out for me.

Video

[dark_matter]

Then what I do won't make sense to you, and I don't care to explain.

Re: Video

[a_most_debonair_corsair]

Oi, oi. Come now, don't be so unsociable.
