[York lifts his hand in a kind of wave to Washington, before setting off to get to the lounge. There's an announcement overhead, though.]
'Agent New York report immediately to the lab, full armor.'
[York's brow furrowed.
The lab?
Well, if he was being called, he didn't have a choice but to go.
So, he ran down to his room to quickly grab his suit and pull it on before dashing out and going to the lab to see what he was needed for.]
[An... AI? Named Delta. Who was carved from and filled with logic. When asked his thoughts on it, York just stared into space for a moment.]
It's... weird. There's gonna be someone else inside my head?
[York was then told it wasn't really a person, but there would indeed be a new voice and presence residing in his mind, able to offer advice and even strengthen the enhancements in his armor.
Even though it would be helpful, it was still weird. York wasn't quite warming up to this idea. But he didn't really have a choice. Who knows? Maybe it would be fun.]
[It didn't take long at all, and soon there was a glowing green light at his face. The left side of his face, near his bad eye. He had to turn his head to look at the little holographic suit of armor.]
So, you're Delta, huh?
I am. And you are Agent New York. Position two on the leader-boards. You are an infiltration specialist, and you enjoy picking the locks presented to you.
I prefer the term 'breaking and entering'.
[Yea. This was definitely weird. There was... a whole new being in his head, sorting through his thoughts and filing them. York felt like he was being violated. Which, he kind of was. Right? Did it count if it was a computer program doing it?]

Date: 2012-08-16 03:02 am (UTC)He circles around at a slow pace, stopping here or there until he's behind Washington.
He fires a bullet aimed for Wash's torso, and then ducks behind another pillar to hide.]

Date: 2012-08-16 03:22 am (UTC)He keeps his distance for now, and Delta's keeping up the warning so York can check and know where Wash is before making any more movements. He walks out from his hiding place, and again starts to look for Wash, keeping his pistol raised.]
no subject
Date: 2012-08-16 03:43 am (UTC)He doesn't try to keep his movements as quiet as before. Now that he can't really move his upper body much, it's just more of a hassle to work on keeping his footing light.
At one point, he spots a sign of movement out of the corner of his eye. He pauses and turns his head, only to spot York disappearing behind another pillar across the training floor. Determined, he turns and starts heading over that way, moving in a straight line in order to gain some speed. His speed is already hindered by the paint, weaving between the pillars isn't about to help. It takes a minute, but finally he's close enough to York that he fires a couple shots; one is aimed for a shoulder, the other at York's leg.]
no subject
Date: 2012-08-16 03:48 am (UTC)He starts to stumble forward, pulling the trigger to release another bullet, hoping this one will catch Wash in the stomach.]

Date: 2012-08-16 04:06 am (UTC)...So, did anyone win?
[He asks.]
no subject
Date: 2012-08-16 04:19 am (UTC)When he hears York speak, Wash lifts his head to get a better look at him and puffs out a breath before just letting it fall back to the ground.]
I don't know. Can anyone win here? [He figures that if someone can still move, they probably win. ...He doesn't say this out loud, however, because he definitely can't move enough for it to be considered a win. He can't even get to his feet.]
no subject
Date: 2012-08-16 04:23 am (UTC)Um, probably not. I mean, unless you want to give the win to me.
[He grins from where he's lying on the ground.]
no subject
Date: 2012-08-16 04:41 am (UTC)[Wash shakes his head and just stares up at the ceiling far above. Hey, a tie was the closest he's ever come to beating York, though...he doesn't really count this as much of a victory because he hadn't exactly used much skill. Most of his hits had been made by firing randomly in York's direction as he emptied his pistol all at once. Not exactly how you wanted to behave in a real fight. ...He makes plans to do better next time.]
Well. This is kind of...embarrassing. [Both of them lying, stuck to the floor? Yeah, that wasn't something he wanted anyone to see.]

Date: 2012-08-16 05:03 am (UTC)[York's seen him in enough embarrassing situations, and he doesn't want to hear about any of them again.
Wash falls silent and he listens as apparently, York's managed to break himself free of the paint. He waits patiently for the mocking, expecting York to just leave him here because that's just something he would find funny. It's a surprise then, when instead York comes over and helps him. Wash blinks and, once he's able to sit up, he does so and brushes of what he can of the bits of paint that are still stuck to his armor. ...He's going to have to clean it later.]
Thanks.

Date: 2012-08-16 05:08 am (UTC)[York smirks through his visor, before just removing his helmet so Wash can see his expression.
He then gets to his feet, and walks over to return his gun, carrying his headgear in his hand. He looks over his shoulder back to Washington. He doesn't really believe Wash would do this just to be nice because, really. Who would willingly suggest playing with lockdown paint? Especially if York was supposed to be better with an AI (which he didn't yet seem to be)? He then looks down again, wondering if maybe he's just thinking too much on it?]
no subject
Date: 2012-08-16 05:20 am (UTC)[Wash shrugs and stands himself back up. It's not like this was a big deal, or anything. They've trained together with the paint before.
He steps after York, setting the pistol back where he'd grabbed it from and pulls out the extra clip he never ended up using, then set it back with the gun too. York may have taken his helmet off, but Wash leaves his on. He looks back over at the other freelancer and raises an eyebrow, even though York can't see it.]
How was it with Delta?
no subject
Date: 2012-08-16 05:25 am (UTC)It was... interesting. Only a few things were different. Like, he detected where you were. That was pretty handy.
[He turns on his heels and starts to walk out, expecting Washington to follow.]
Let's get somethin' to eat. I'm hungry.

Date: 2012-08-16 05:46 am (UTC)Once he's satisfied, he follows York over to the table and sets his things down in front of the seat opposite. He sits himself down and pulls his helmet off, setting it to the side. He's glad that things aren't weird anymore. They seem to have gotten past it already, and he's glad for that. So, he settles in to eat, his eyes sweeping over the cafeteria as he does so.]
no subject
Date: 2012-08-16 05:52 am (UTC)After a few moments, he finally speaks up, lifting his gaze to Washington.]
So... Still against kissing me?
[He thought that maybe he could drop that whole thing, but it turns out he can't. Because if there's any chance, he wants to know.]
no subject
Date: 2012-08-16 05:59 am (UTC)Every single bit of relief that things were back to normal shoots out the window, and Wash freezes up. He looks back at York, then around to the tables nearby. No one's paying them any mind, so his eyes rest on York again.]
Yes. We-we can't. I told you. I gave you good reasons. We. Can't. [He uses a hushed tone, but he makes it as firm as he can in order to make his point. He doesn't want to discuss this again now, not here, and not ever.]
no subject
Date: 2012-08-16 06:04 am (UTC)[Sure, they were good reasons. That doesn't mean York likes them.]
Just--One more time!
[Because maybe with one more shot he could change Wash's mind.]
One more time wont hurt.
no subject
Date: 2012-08-16 06:22 am (UTC)I never said it wou--what? [He's not expecting York to ask for one more kiss, and it throws him off a little. He looks across at York, then down at his plate, though he doesn't really see it.] It's... It's not a good idea...
[Not a good idea, but that doesn't stop him from being extremely tempted. Their second kiss, which he'd told himself before he did it would be their last, had been too light, and York had broken it to ask what was wrong. He still wanted to finish that kiss, but...well, maybe...maybe one more really wouldn't hurt?]
no subject
Date: 2012-08-16 06:27 am (UTC)[Just one last chance is all he wants. And if it didn't work, then he'll probably stop trying.
...Just joking.
He doesn't stop until he gets what he wants.]
no subject
Date: 2012-08-16 06:47 am (UTC)...I--fine. But just one more. That's it. [He can only hope that this one more doesn't make York want it even more than he already does.]
no subject
Date: 2012-08-16 06:52 am (UTC)Good. Finish up, then, and meet me in my room. And if you don't, I'll just catch you another time.
[He stands up with his tray, going to dispose of the food he hadn't eaten before walking out of the cafeteria and back to his room.
...And he maybe shoots up a victory fist on the way there.]
