Valentine has only been in the bar a couple days, but after seeing the sign about the T-minus things, she can't help herself. She has one, and is fussing with it in a corner.

fawkesianPundit is signed on.

[ooc: Slowtime will be in effect soonish, but Val wanted her new shiny.]

...huh. That's interesting.

repositoryBadger [RB] began trolling fawkesianPundit [FP]

RB: ...Val?

FP: Yes? Is it that obvious?
FP: Who is this?

RB: This is Claudia.
RB: It's that obvious to *me,* but I'm not sure if anyone else would necessarily get it.
RB: It's kinda hilariously appropriate for you.

FP: Oh! Claudia! I'm sorry.
FP: I didn't know your name on here.
FP: There's something I think I'm missing.
FP: Is this Fawkes as in Guy Fawkes the terrorist?
FP: Also, how do these things pick the names?

RB: You got me. Joshua's changed when he got his new job.
RB: It probably is as in him.
RB: ...Yeah, I guess if the government's locked down on what's on the Internet and how you can get to it, they'd've wiped out all traces of Anonymous.

FP: That's... odd. Why did it change?
FP: And who or what is Anonymous?
FP: It's obviously not just someone not giving their name

RB: No clue. His isn't the only one I know of that's changed.
RB: It's closer to mine now, possibly because we're working in the same place. The first one also had more to do with the teleportation stuff.
RB: No, Anonymous is a group of people not giving out their name.
RB: Using the Internet to ~change the world,~ at least in theory. Sometimes they have a good point, sometimes they're just being dbags, and sometimes the good points get lost in being dbags.
RB: But considering the pseudonymous prodding at politics you're up to? Hilariously appropriate.

FP: Huh. So maybe it's tied to you, and something about him changed, so the name changed.
FP: It's kinda like philotics, connections between people.
FP: Huh. They actually sound like the kind of people Peter would really like.
FP: Probably people I'd want to avoid like hell.
FP: Hey. I guess I can embrace it.
FP: No one here knows or cares.

RB: Possible.
RB: One of my friends was pretty butthurt that he couldn't get it to give him anything that didn't include either 'powered' or 'powerless,' so I think sometimes they troll people.
RB: Yeah, no one here'll care. Same reason I talk about work a lot more than I'd be allowed to back home - it's not the weirdest thing around here.

FP: What's so bad about powered or powerless?
FP: Was he one of the two?
FP: I guess it's actually good to frelling talk about it.
FP: Frell, I might be able to actually get some help if I get stuck in something instead of having to go to Peter.

RB: I think it was a 'salt in the wound' kind of situation, yeah.
RB: That you could.
RB: I'm sure there are some other political types around here, and at the very least I'm good at bouncing ideas around. You're free to tell me they're full of shit, though.

FP: Ah. So there's a lot of powers in his world, then, and he doesn't have any?
FP: I'm sure that you're not full of shit, Claudia.
FP: I'm pretty sure you're better at things than you think.
FP: You turned going to jail into getting a job.
FP: That has to count for something.

RB: Pretty sure if they hadn't been willing to take a breakdown of exactly how I got past everything and into the system as a fair trade, I would be in jail. But that's how the Warehouse rolls.
RB: Besides, that's not exactly juggling global politics.
RB: I'm not saying I have no strengths whatsoever - that's Joshua's department.
