[Center][h2]Ryan Dwyer-Jacks Headquarters[/h2] [@Old Amsterdam][@ProPro][@BCTheEntity][@Eklispe][/center] Ryan frowned as both Raymond and Chatterbox grilled him over his actions involving the dinosaur girl, but he waved it off easily as he took another sip of his beverage. [color=gray]"Let's walk you through the situation step by step. I have a girl with an unknown power on my hands, I have no idea whether tying her up would do any good. Which it wouldn't have by the way, unless you're stupid enough to think that rope can hold a rampaging dinosaur."[/color] He set his drink down on the counter as he continued his explanation. [color=slategray]"And no, I couldn't have just 'tased her into unconsciousness', that would've only lasted a minute at most. So yeah, I try to use some psychology to make her run away or something. Sure it backfired, but my other option was to tase her so hard that she wouldn't wake up for hours on end. So unless you wanted me to give her permanent brain damage, I think I made the right call. Unless you wanted me to, I'm sure the PRT would love to find out that the new bad guys on the block are open to those methods."[/color] Heartless paused for a moment to collect his thoughts before he continued. [color=slategray]"Speaking of the PRT, let's talk about PR. Public Relations that is. I save a Ward, how does that look to the public? What do the common citizens think of the Jacks, we steal from the Community, we save little girls from burning buildings, are we really the bad guys? And if the public thinks we're just keeping the peace, how is the PRT going to look if they go after us?"[/color] This was all a load of bullshit of course, but it was well crafted bullshit. In reality, Ryan just wasn't willing to let an eight year old die. That's fucked up, even for him. [color=slategray]"If you have any other complaints, you can shove em up your ass."[/color] With that being said Ryan listened to Broker answer everyone's questions. His frown only grew deeper as he listened to Broker explain why the other Whimsy needed to die, she just wasn't useful. This lead to a lot of questions about his own worth that he just didn't want answered. He didn't care so much about the Illuminati business, as long as they didn't fuck with him they could take over the world for all he cared. But the thought that the last guy he replaced was now functionally brain dead was... [color=slategray]"I think I'm gonna go to my room too. This has been a night I would like to forget about forever."[/color] It was only by the time he got to his room that he realized how much he was shaking, just like Chatterbox had been. Ryan had a lot to think about that night, so he opened up his laptop and hopped on the forums. Looks like tonight was going to be another sleepless one.
