Nobody in the Bar has said anything about Reality Rifts... unless this is another instance of a Type I Reality Rift, and the characters can now hear OOC conversation?

Bell takes a long hard look at the three men. He waves over a bartender and acquired another three glasses and a bottle.
"Gentlemen, please, have a drink. I'm not going to resist arrest, and this isn't my first rodeo with a kidnapping. Might as well have a drink while telling me all about your plan."
He takes a drink.
Again, he thinks. How does this keep happening to me? What is this, the third time? Is it my cologne? Is it the goat? I bet it's the damn goat!
"Is this about the military-grade goat?"
"Mr. Bell, all we ask is your...cooperation." The man takes off his glasses and gives Bell a cold stare. It appears that your goat has been living two lives, Mr. Bell. One of these has a future. The other--"Excidium Planetis wrote:Permission Granted. That's all the message said. The chief of security who doesn't yet have a name got up and went over to a strange device. He pressed a few buttons on it.
A robotic voice responded to the command. "Meta-bomb deployed." A Type II Reality Rift was created.
The man's eyes glint with a combination of fear and anger. He draws a handgun and fires directly at Bell's head. The bullet exits the chamber without being changed into anything non-lethal, but it slows immediately to a crawl. The bullet travels through the air slowly, leaving ripples in the air behind it.
"What?" the man snarls. His men flicker out of existence around him. The remaining man stumbles back and fires his gun again and again, emptying it of bullets. All of them slow down and almost stop in place along their trajectories.
"No! It's not possible!" The man tries to get up, but his foot flickers away for a moment, sending him to the ground again. He turns to face Bell as his form flickers in and out. "I will have that goat, Mr. Bell." Then he disappears.
Ogenbond stares in confusion for a moment. "Huh." He reaches over and plucks a bullet from the air. "That isn't normal, is it?"

Janis grinned, as entertainment walked in. "Oh, hey, uh, Ty, right? I've been meaning to ask - you guys are human, right? If you're taking the methanol drinks outside the Bar, and beyond the weapons nullifiers, won't you end up poisoning Ari and Ahume?"

"Oh, nothing," she said, with a grin that belied her words. "Was just talking to your... intern? How does that differ from an aide, by the way? Is he an ambassador-in-training?"
Araraukar wrote:"Ahume," Janis said quietly, watching the third Wad talking to the cactus, "does Ty know about the hivemind? I mean, how it works? And that it's probably looking up his contact info to answer him via his phone or pad or whatever those communicators of yours are? Talking to houseplants is one thing, but them talking back tends to be a shock to most people."

AHUME: Hmmmm. Did you know, someone sent him videos of enormous plants eating cats? That... couldn't possibly be the hivemind, could it?

"Well, sometimes "ambassador material" means just that you survive long enough to pass on the message," Janis mused. "The ABC tends to deal with the whole "pecking order" issues of ambassadors in much more, shall we say, physical way. "Melee" is the word that comes to mind, though only bureaucratic weaponry is allowed. Binders, staplers, viciously sharp-edged papers, all that, you know. Clip-boards got banned last year, after someone chipped a tooth."AHUME: Hmmmm. Did you know, someone sent him videos of enormous plants eating cats? That... couldn't possibly be the hivemind, could it?
"Nah," Janis said, making a dismissive hand gesture, swiping off one of the papers she had had stacked on the bar counter. "It seems to think all cats are sapient, and wouldn't even dream of harming them," she explained as she bent down to pick up the paper. "I'm just glad it includes humans on that no-kill list too."
She quickly shuffled the paper in its rightful place and closed the binder, which was titled "Retkikunta Liagolasiin". For anyone who could read Araraukarian, that meant "Expedition to Liagolas".
"Besides," she added, showing her teeth to Ahume, "it doesn't give warnings."OOC notes: Janis isn't kidding about the Araraukarian Bureaucratic Corps annual melee. She's just omitting the fact that you're allowed to wear safety gear, as long as it's also office material. Metallic mesh paper baskets came into season after the tooth-chipping incident.
Also, Janis doesn't know his cat (of the WA Kitty Kops) is sapient and thinks the PPU hivemind just has a soft spot for cats and thus "elevates" them to sapiency to have a good excuse to not wanting to hurt them.
And lastly, if Liagolas ever comes back from his absence, the contents of that binder will play a big role in what we've planned.
EDITs because bah, code.
