#the hot potato Job

[ziorite]

the hot potato job is underrated because what do you mean sophie mimics eliot's voice so well that eliot literally cannot speak in his natural tone??

sophie gradually deepening her voice and even sneaking in a bit of a southern accent at some points was already funny, but then eliot comes in as her accountant and is forced to just,, change his voice. because she stole it. underrated comedy GOLD

Realistically, I know Eliot taught Parker and Sophie how to fight (as shown in the hot potato Job and the tap out job) because he knew he might not always be able to protect them and he wanted them to be able to handle themselves in a fight if it ever came down to it.

But actually he just taught them that stuff so that they could beat up Hardison. No other reason.

Leverage Log: The Hot Potato Job

So if there's one thing Leverage seems to want to teach us its this: Museums and Government Facilities are easy low-stakes corruption, food production companies are Hardcore on a level that makes Satan blush.

Which makes sense, its an industry founded on a Maslow Hierarchy foundation, the only other industry that deals with something as essential to the human experience is Architecture/housing, and you only buy a house once, whereas you need 3 meals a day just to get by. It makes economic sense why food companies are capable of affording the stuff to be this scary is what im saying. Captive audience of billions, competitive industry, and unlike Government Contractors and Military Operations, they're in complete control over their own cash with no need to justify it to other parties. Remember folks, if someone says "military grade", its just another way of saying "Made by the lowest bidder"

Basically: Leverage crew should totally go up against Nestle.

Ah, hot potato both because its hot (in the market/demand sense) and because its been locked into a thermite walled cell.

---

Nate and Parker just kidnapped a schoolclass full of children. Also Parker refuses to believe they're really stealing a potato. She still hasnt seemed to grasp exactly how badass food megacorporations are.

---

Accidentally found an actual mole. Amazing. (not suprising, like i said the Leverage-verse food industry is competitive to a ridiculous degree)

---

Trevor smuggling it past security "standard procedure for all adults" Best school-trip ever, and a nice and simple way to dispose of your the evidence.

And the "true" start of a season-long arc with the reveal that our primary mark is actually getting away with it.

The range of Erik's potential diet is once again fascinating me, on the basis of the sheer number of things that can highly inconvenience/kill a human. Obviously there's the chemical/plant/animal poisons that first come to mind—y'know, arsenic, belladonna, the unpleasantness that happens if you try to eat a monarch butterfly, that sort of thing. And I do have fun wondering if Erik's the type of guy to just … snatch some poor, poisonously bright insect off the side of a trunk and pop it in his mouth, as is his due as a Dragon Slayer who are just kinda like that sometimes.

However. The thought of Erik carefully harvesting and making his own wild licorice and monkshood tisanes, making use of a well-loved copper teapot and his treasured, antique tea service painted with lead-based glaze … kicking back with a cordial of pure ethanol, and the cordial is of course made of lead crystal … Meredy wandering over to an unsupervised, brightly-colored cookpot because whatever's in there smells amazing, then suddenly Erik is tackling her away and shouting about the cyanide he just spiced his quail and grass pea soup with, did Oración Seis not tell her to not touch his cadmium-painted cookpots?! Just, Erik being fancy about his poison consumption, because humans sure have figured out a bunch of ways to really inconvenience themselves and he might as well take advantage of their mistakes.

Also, what counts as poisonous enough to use? Humans can intoxicate themselves on too much water. Can Erik use that? There are so many things that are nonlethally, and even unnoticeably, harmful to us, so how trace can a poison be before Erik can't convert it into magic? Carbon monoxide is a notoriously odorless, colorless gas that is very bad for us—can Erik convert a poison he can't perceive? Can he straight-up eat rotten food because it would otherwise be harmful for literally anything else to eat? Relatedly, does this mean he really likes fermented food, because that's essentially rotten food that humans like to eat? I have questions

#fairy tail #fairy tail headcanon #erik cobra #back on my 'erik my guy what the hell do you EAT' line of thought #remember when i was wondering if erik's element leaned more towards poison or venom? good times #this also spawns images of erik gleefully inconveniencing oracion seis when it comes to REALLY bad-smelling poisons #macbeth: impromptu chemical experiments are prohibited so long as i live in this house ERIK #erik: i was hungry #macbeth: then grab an apple instead of mixing household chemicals and nearly killing us with chlorine gas!! #alternatively: oracion seis immediately volunteering erik against his will for missions in locations that are just one big health hazard #'cmooon you might find something nice-smelling and good to eat you don't want us baseline humans to wander into a mold infestation!' #to me oracion seis is a gaggle of siblings and sometimes that means doing hot potato with the landfill job #until it lands on the guy that likes the smell of sulfur dioxide

for the record I’m playing P3P on my switch right now and remembering the theoretical persona au like “man I could do something with that” like it would not, by necessity, be like 200k words and overwhelm me halfway through. but. I could do something with that,

#just. part of the conceit of that au being impulse acting weird for game mechanics #while my makoto has a steady part-time job joined three clubs studies most nights then periodically shows up like. doing the wildest stuff #and will drop that job like a hot potato once my courage and charm are high enough! #studies four nights a week but sleeps through half his classes #and I’m looking at impulse and #…maybe honestky I need to retool it to a ‘my life is suddenly a video game’ au #it could even still be impulse he would try to minmax his own life if he got stats for it you KNOW he would #anyway put this down as ‘things I KNOW are impractical to write but would be sososososo cool’

I think a man is hot! I must jump off a cliff immediately #but whyyyy can't I be normal about it at least #other people get obsessed with normal things! like. idk. anything else #soo anyway the opening narration for the texas chainsaw massacre is great isn't it? he did such a good job :) what a nice voice :) I am not #going to be weird about this man any longer :) no I won't! I'm normal about him! I don't want to bite him or chew on his face or anything #like that. just normal things. uh. sex? that's what people usually want. yeah fine that. I mean I do. want. oh I think I'm doing it again #haha no it's fine I just think he's neat (he's the only person on earth no one else exists anymore he's so beautiful oh my god have you seen #his little face he looks like a cute little potato I've never seen anything prettier in my life haha I need to run my hands through his hair #and have you seen how tall he is and he's so cute and I need to. be taken outside and shot. god. #I keep. shrieking. every time I see him. at such a high frequency that it hurts my own fucking ears. because. I can't believe that he exists #I'm. so. stupid!!!! #annnd repeat this every time this happens blah blah blah i should jsut delete this blog right now oh my GOD.

To all the people saying Luka "groomed" Cereza because he knew the little version of her and now Platinum is trying to retcon that they've always known each other... Shut the fuck up. Shut all the way the fuck up. Shut up, until you reach the tip top of Shut Fuck Mountain where there are no more fuck ups to shut.

There is so much time travel bs going on here that this statement could only be made by asinine morons who have never experienced or even care about the actual horror of grooming. The Luka we know first saw Bayonetta when he was a child at the lake. Does that mean Bayo groomed him? How about the fact Bayo is actually over 500 years older than Luka? Hmmm? Oh! Nothing to say?

SHUT THE FUCK UP :)

#Bayonetta #bayonetta 3 #luka #luka redgrave #cereza #bayoluka #yall are stupid #I need to laugh or i will actually hurt someone #stop throwing this shit around like its hot potato #go the hell outside for once #damn #god damn #get a job or something
