So I know I can't be the only one who's had the unexpected pleasure of coming into possession of messages that aren't intended for my consumption. I'm not talking about you getting someone's private love letters or metaphorical cat video links, which I've gotten and deleted.

If I were back home, I'd be sliding this info to my nearest and dearest investigative journalist type. Since I'm not, well, I guess I've got to take matters in my own hands.

It's an interesting read, so, I'm just going to include the unedited details for all.

[what follows is a copy of the message that peter had received earlier, sent from lydia gill-jade, which seems the sort of thing that would come up in a current headlines search if it weren't presumably a secret. well, so much for that, huh?]

Maybe it's just me, but do people usually name successors for campaign donations?

Is there an R?
It could be JRPG.

[impede]

He's joking. Even I doubt that it's it.

[variate]

That was a good one, too.

[impede]

I'm always happy to compliment you when you deserve it, but I'm afraid this isn't one of those times.

[variate]

Ouch.

[ well, at least his deadpan comes across in text. ]

[tribridfreakshow]

i'm not sure i even know what that is so i'm just gonna let it go.

[impede]

It's a type of video game. RPG, with the J tacked on—referring specifically to Japan, our home country.

I take it that you're not much of a gamer.

[tribridfreakshow]

ah not really. nothing against it, it's just not something i've done much.

[impede]

Ren here is quite the gamer! It's one of the few things he's better than me at.

[tribridfreakshow]

you know him pretty well then?

[impede]

Mmhm. We were teammates before.

Of course, he was the leader of that team.

[tribridfreakshow]

this was before you came here or after?

[impede]

Before! Ah, that would be quite the arrangement to have now, wouldn't it?

[tribridfreakshow]

i guess you're right. you're just as new as i am. sometimies i forget since you always seem so calm about everything.

[impede]

You might even say that I'm almost allergic to being in a state of panic. It doesn't suit me.

[tribridfreakshow]

we wouldn't want you to break out in hives or anything

[impede]

Anaphylactic shock would be the worse!

[tribridfreakshow]

the day you have a panic attack so bad you start to suffocate is the day i start to REALLY worry about the state of things

[impede]

Let's never allow that to happen.
