[10:03] AG: So. This whole tallent show 8uisness.
[10:04] GC: Oh. 1 suppos3 you do w4nt to p4r1c1p4t3 1n th4t.
[10:07] AG: I figured that I might as well. It would 8e a gr8 way to 6e social. Granted I could have ended up with a 8etter partner for it.
[10:07] AG: I suppose you haven't put much thought into it at all.
[10:07] GC: No.
[10:07] GC: 1 h4v3 not.
[10:09] AG: Well if you aren't feeling up to the challange of 8eing creative and entertaining on stage, then I understand. A tallent show must 8e so difficult for someone like yourself.
[10:09] GC: Y3s.
[10:09] GC: 1 suppos3 1t 1s 4 compl3t3 fluk3 th4t 1 m4n4g3d to w1n th3 l4st on3.
[10:09] AG: W8 what.
[10:10] AG: You won the last one?
[10:10] AG: How did you manage that? Who was your partner, 8ecause clearly they must have done most of the work there.
[10:11] GC: Qu3r1n. You c4n 4sk h3r 1f you l1k3.
[10:11] AG: Perhaps I will.
[10:11] GC: 1 suppos3 4ll 1 d1d h4v3 to do w4s p1ck s3v3r4l locks wh1l3 ch41n3d to 4 wh33l.
[10:12] GC: 4nd 3sc4p3 w1thout b3tt1ng s3v3r4l kn1v3s stuck 1n my body.
[10:12] GC: But r3g4rdl3ss.
[10:12] GC: You 4r3 4 cr34t1v3 4nd 3nt3rt41n1ng p3rson.
[10:12] GC: You must h4v3 1d34s.
[10:12] AG: You? Pick a lock? I must say that sounds a tad 8it out of character for someone so uptight as yourself.
[10:12] GC: S3v3r4l locks.
[10:13] GC: Both 4rms. 4nd my w41st.
[10:17] AG: Well 8efore I start to go through all of my own ideas, why don't you tell me what skills you have.
[10:18] AG: 8esides lock picking, since it wouldnt 8e a good idea to have repeats of last year.
[10:18] GC: You h4v3 4lr34dy s33n wh4t 1'm 4bl3 to do w1th my st4ff. Now you know 1 c4n p1ck locks. Thos3 4r3 sk1lls.
[10:19] AG: Ugh, yes. They are. 8ut unless I am going to tie you to another 8oard and throw sharp items at you, or we set up a few practice dummies for you to hack up, we have nothing to work with. And those are hardly acts.
[10:20] AG: What else can you do.
[10:20] GC: Wh4t c4n you do?
[10:23] AG: A 8etter question would 8e what can't I do. 8ut to start a list of the many things I can do that would 8e useful for this event, one would 8e that I can walk a tight rope.
[10:32] GC: So you'r3 sugg3st1ng som3 sort of 4crob4t1cs show1ng.
[10:33] AG: Well if you won with a daring escape act, then I can forsee acro8atics going over well with the crowd.
[10:34] AG: Spends sweeps on seas does well for sure footing. Would you 8e a8le to manage an act like this.
[10:34] GC: 1t sounds f41rly tr1v14l.
[10:35] AG: Trivial??
[10:35] AG: Fine, then what would you suggest!
[10:39] GC: 1 would f1rst sugg3st th4t you not t4k3 cr1t1c1sms so v3ry p3rson4lly.
[10:39] GC: But wh4t pl4ys w1th th3m.
[10:39] GC: 4t l34st, to my knowl3dg3.
[10:39] GC: S33ms to b3 th3 dr4m4t1cs.
[10:39] GC: Th3r3 h4s to b3 som3 3l3m3nt of d4ng3r b3yond 1mpr3ss1v3 phys1c4l1ty.
[10:41] AG: Well danger is simple enough to cre8. I would suggest to light the ground 8eneath on fire, 8ut we are in a ship in space. So what a8out placing o8jects that we could easily impale ourselves on should we fail.
[10:43] GC: So long 4s you'r3 compl3t3ly c3rt41n you know how to t1ghtrop3 w4lk.
[10:45] AG: Well of course the two of us will practice 8efore hand. It would 8e a shame to throw a wrench into the act such as accidental death.
[10:49] GC: So you w4nt to t1ghtrop3 w4lk. W3'd us3 two rop3s?
[10:50] AG: Well unless you have another routine in mind, yes.
[10:50] GC: ...M4yb3.
[10:51] AG: Just a "may8e?" Either you do or you don't.
[10:52] GC: 1t's 4 poss1b1l1ty.
[10:52] GC: S4m3 rop3.
[10:52] GC: M33t 1n th3 m1ddl3.
[10:52] GC: 4nd f1ght.
[10:52] GC: W1thout th3 sp1k3s b3low.
[10:53] AG: Hm.
[10:53] AG: That isn't exactly a terri8le idea.
[10:54] AG: Would the intention of the fight 8e for 8oth of us to remain on the rope, or would it 8e until one of us falls.
[10:55] GC: W3ll.
[10:55] GC: Th3 l4tt3r m1ght m4k3 for 4 good show.
[10:56] AG: I couldn't agree more.
[10:56] AG: Well then, I think we have an act.
[10:57] GC: Good.
[10:57] GC: 1 4m look1ng forw4rd to 1t.
[10:58] AG: As am I. And certainly it will 8e quite the show stopper when the loser drops from the rope.
[10:58] AG: A friendly suggestion would 8e to practice landing from a gr8 height.
[11:00] GC: 1 4m not 1n th3 h4b1t of l3tt1ng mys3lf grow rusty.
[11:01] AG: Well now, then that is something we happen to share in common.
[11:02] AG: Now, I guess we should attempt this routine one or twice with each other 8efore the main event. For your sake.
[11:03] GC: Pl34s3.
[11:03] GC: 1'd lov3 noth1ng mor3.
[11:04] AG: Then how a8out we meet up in a day or two for our first practice.
[11:04] GC: Y3s.
[11:04] AG: That should give you plenty of time to learn how to fall with grace.
[11:07] GC: You'r3 v3ry conf1d3nt 1n yours3lf.
[11:07] GC: Th4t's good.
[11:07] AG: Confidence is key.
[11:08] AG: Without it I may second guess myself on how likely it is that I will 8e winning.
[11:08] AG: 8oth the fight, and the show, just to clarify.
[11:10] GC: You m4d3 yours3lf cl34r.
[11:14] AG: In that case, I think we are done covering the topic of our act.
[11:14] AG: I'll take my leave then.
[11:16] GC: D1sm1ss3d.
