That is generally what it means- yes. [The sarcasm and eye-rolling doesn't play as well in text form.] When you get a real job, life's going to get so much harder for you.
I think we're employing a different definition here. You're not really trying to imply that those temporary gigs are on par with being president of a major corporation, are you?
[ EAT IT, NERD-- ] Of course. Speaking of which, just FYI I'm going to be out of the country on a super educational school trip for the next week, so I can't really book anything with you guys up until the end of the month.
[ It's not super educational, it's Hawaii. It COULD be super educational, but it won't be because it's Ann and she plans on wasting most of her time eating on the beach. ]
[He could still have you fired, you know.] Do you really think that's a valid excuse for missing work? I mean I'm currently out of the Earth's atmosphere and I'm not shirking in my duties. Also I find your wording dubious at best.
[ He could, and she could also care less. Where one door closes, another opens. ] I do, because unlike you, I'm still in high school, which unfortunately for us both takes priority. I still can't believe you have a space station. Also, don't worry. I'll be sure to bring you a sea shell or something. Enjoy the cold depths of space while I bask in the sun in Honolulu~.
[She couldn't hear him audibly scoff at the mention of high school. What a useless facility most of those were but hey- not everyone had undergone a rigorous learning program that he had. He couldn't argue with it being necessary for most.] Right. High School. You should see about improving your scores. What's so unbelievable about that? I'm capable of anything. [There's a pointed pause] Other than learning how to get a tan, what could you possibly be studying there? Why are you really going to Hawaii?
[ If he were to mention how useless high school is, she'd agree. It's a giant waste of time that she hates. So... useless for very different reasons. ] How do you know what my scores are? Jeez, I didn't know I had to keep them away from one of my bosses, too. It's not unbelievable like that! It's just unbelievable how accomplished you already are. When I say unbelievable, it's meant in a good, impressed context. [ ...That's. Kind of funny, and she's glad he can't hear her giggling right now. ] It's literally just a class trip. We're meant to be doing stuff, but I feel like this is going to just sort of be a quick vacation. Also, my school seems to have very little to no hold on what their students get up to, so I'm not banking on much other than laying on the beach with a non alcoholic beverage in hand.
Shujin doesn't have a crack security team. [Realizing he might have tipped his hand a little too much he swiftly moves on] Besides, background checks are a requirement. Kaiba corp is thorough. [Don't worry, some things were left out of the report] You should be impressed, given who you're talking to. [Look, he might be more used to being trash talked than complimented. His bad there] Somehow I feel this is more for the faculty's benefit than for their students. What a mismanagement of school funding... [Still, it's a loophole he can't refute. Enjoy your vacation you opportunist you]
Sure doesn't, so much for being a prestigious learning facility. [ JUST HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW SETO? ] I mean, that's not a bad thing. Safety first, wouldn't want terrorists or something working for you. [ Thank goodness, jeez-- ] Well, I'm very impressed! I'll bet the planet looks really pretty from up there. [ Don't worry, she's not gonna trash talk you, Seto. You haven't done anything to deserve that. ] I think so, too, but I guess it'll be easy enough to relax for a few days, at least. In all seriousness though, if there's anything you need for whatever reason while I'm there, I'm more than willing to go and grab it if it's in my capabilities.
[THAT IS THE ETERNAL QUESTION, ISN'T IT?] It's standard operating procedure. [Spoken like a true company man] It also looks easily obtainable. Soon- there won't be a corner of the planet that's outside of my reach. [How scared should you be. Kaiba is up there- surveying his kingdom. LOL] Heh- like what would I need you to pick up? A bottle of milk.. I think it would be spoiled by the time you returned to Japan.
[ THIS IS CONCERNING ] Of course it is. [ Seto... she squints at her phone. ] That sounds like some doofy evil mastermind NPC dialogue. But whatever floats your boat! [ VERY SCARED LMAO ] I was thinking more along the lines of any sort of cards that may be in the area or whatever, but I can try to smuggle a pineapple onto the plane if you want. I can probably do it.
[It probably should be. About 90% of this conversation should be raising red flags] I wouldn't expect you to understand what this feels like, Ann. [World domination. Through his own means, not through war or armed assault but financial entanglement. His mouth was practically salivating with the prospects.] There haven't been any duel monsters exclusives sent to the Hawaiian islands, and if their had I'd have to wire you the funds to acquire it. [Chuckling a bit as he envisioned her looking over common booster packs in the shops or what all] If I think of anything, I'll let you know
[ Sometimes she really wishes you wouldn't overshare these things.... ] Nope, and I don't want to know, either. That's not my cup of tea. [ Seriously, stop oversharing, dude... her friends are already side eyeing you... ] Mm, even still, I'd be willing to grab whatever. I don't think there's going to be a whole lot to do other than hang out at the beach, anyways.
[Least he's only oversharing with her? Currently] Suit yourself. [As long as none of them are looking over your shoulder right now, it should be fine right. Though that hacker friend of yours might be following these conversations anyway. There are plenty of reasons for them to be suspicious. Power does kinda go to Seto's head] You could pick up a souvenir for Mokuba, he'd appreciate that. [Personally, Kaiba was hard to shop for since he mostly shopped for himself.]
[ Yes, and she's trying to keep it that way!! ] Consider myself... suited. [ She's pretty sure he has no idea just how many times she's had to change the subject off of him... don't worry about Futaba, pretty sure she's more interested in Ren's phone right now, anyways. Maybe. Just don't use the wording 'world domination', for the love of god, via text or out loud!! ] I can do that, there's plenty of stuff here I think he'd probably like. Actually, I think I've just thought about something that YOU might like, too.
