Private thoughts, written before she went to Corel

[girlfrommideel]

So I'm going on a mission tomorrow. I'm excited! It's always nice to have something to do that's more interesting than hanging around the office. This type of stuff is what I signed up for, way back when.

Tseng was the one that told me about this. He's barely talked to me since I got back here... I don't know what that means. I guess it's been a while since we saw each other, just here and there, but it's just... all business, now. Is he being twitchy because I'm technically working for him again?

Really, someone needs to teach that boy how to relax. Except I thought I had.

[ooc: This was written on Tseng's computer. Which she used without permission. Hell, she's done that before. Old habits die hard? She emailed this to herself, as she sometimes does with random private thoughts when she doesn't have any better way to record them, but maybe she just... conveniently forgot to log out of her email. So this will be waiting for Tseng whenever he comes back to his office.]

phone call to Victoria

[Tseng found the email draft when he came back to check his computer. He stared at the screen for several moments before he dialed a number on his phone, listening to it ring.]

[She's standing with Siira, Elfe, and Reno, waiting for a mysterious fifth person to show up, when her phone rings. Tseng? She blinked at it, then smiled. He got her message then? But right now, she has something else on her mind, and doesn't even let him get a word in before asking]

Hey, Tseng, is there a reason you didn't tell me there were supposed to be two other people showing up for this mission? I could have left without them, you know.

I didn't give orders to anyone but you three, Victoria. If anyone else is there, they're not supposed to be.

Re: phone call to Victoria

[girlfrommideel.livejournal.com]

Really. [She mutters, then speaks away from the phone] Tseng says you're not supposed to be here.

Re: phone call to Victoria

[turk-commander.livejournal.com]

Give Reno the phone Victoria, I'll discuss matters with you later.

Re: phone call to Victoria

[girlfrommideel.livejournal.com]

Er... alright, sure. [And again with that more distant sound.] He wants to talk to you.

[He's not paticularily pleased sounding.]

What?

Re: phone call to Victoria

[turk-commander.livejournal.com]

You're not going anywhere near Corel, Reno. That's an order.

[redturkred.livejournal.com]

What else would you have me do? Huh? Sit around my parent's some more? At least I know where Elena is and can get her stupid ass back here. Soon as I know where Rude is I'm going after him.

[He's not going to abandon any of the three of you and you're perfectly safe. He's ignored orders to rescue Elena before you know.]

Reno, I /made/ the team choice based on people who don't have a bias about the situation.

Re: phone call to Victoria

[redturkred.livejournal.com]

When have I let a bias rule when I'm on duty? Or do you need to review all the missions you know I hated and had moral conflict with that I did anyway because it's my job?

Re: phone call to Victoria

[turk-commander.livejournal.com]

Reno, this mission was delegated to those I judged best capable of handling it. [Tseng sounded tired.] But I don't have time to argue with you. Who are you waiting on?

Re: phone call to Victoria

[redturkred.livejournal.com]

...no idea. All I know is that she'll be along. Of course, it might be one of the three you already put on the mission.

Re: phone call to Victoria

[turk-commander.livejournal.com]

You can take Siira's place. Give the phone back to Victoria and go. There's no need to wait for anyone else.

Re: phone call to Victoria

[girlfrommideel.livejournal.com]

Me again.

Re: phone call to Victoria

[turk-commander.livejournal.com]

Would you explain why you felt the need to use my computer, Victoria?

Re: phone call to Victoria

[girlfrommideel.livejournal.com]

Why did I--oh! I just needed to check my email, and it was faster that way. I figured you wouldn't mind.

What, did I leave it open or something?

Re: phone call to Victoria

[turk-commander.livejournal.com]

...Yes you did, Victoria, and I get the feeling it wasn't quite accidental.

Re: phone call to Victoria

[girlfrommideel.livejournal.com]

I'm not really sure what you mean by that. You know you can always just close it, right?

Re: phone call to Victoria

[turk-commander.livejournal.com]

...Victoria, do I need to go over the rules with you again? I seem to recall we had this discussion far too many times the last time you were active.

Re: phone call to Victoria

[girlfrommideel.livejournal.com]

And we can have it again if you want, sometime when I don't need to be piloting a helicopter. If you don't want to have to worry about whoever else is supposed to be showing up, we need to get going.

Re: phone call to Victoria

[turk-commander.livejournal.com]

Contact me as soon as you three land.

Re: phone call to Victoria

[girlfrommideel.livejournal.com]

Alright. I'll talk to you later. [With that, she hung up.]
