 -- chessAficionado [CA] began pestering arcaneArtisan [AA] at 03:10 --

 [03:10] CA: Hey Sami, what's up?...

 [03:10] AA: Oh, hey Beau.

 [03:10] AA: Not much. Getting used to being able to walk again is all...

 [03:11] CA: I wanted to ask you about that bad dream you had...

 [03:11] AA: Really? Haha, it was just a bad dream, nothing big or anything.

 [03:12] CA: Well, I still want to hear about it, if anything I get to pick apart your subconcious...

 [03:13] CA: In other words, hehe, guess at symbolism...

 [03:13] AA: Eh, you know how you tend to forget dreams afterward....Jack was there. He was a jerk. That's really all there is to say on the matter.

[03:13] -- chessAficionado [CA] gets a wide eyed expression on her face --

[03:13] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] bites her lip. --

 [03:13] CA: Sami, are you sure it was a dream?...

 [03:14] AA: What? Oh, yeah, sure! Haha.

 [03:14] CA: Kate's powers attract Jack, and you were in there, what a week by your perspective?...

 [03:14] AA: It's not like Jack snuck into that time warp dealie and messed with me or something.

 [03:14] AA: That's....not a thing that happened.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:15] AA: It was just a REALLY bad dream. Which is why I'm probably going to try not to sleep much anymore.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:15] AA: ...ever.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:15] CA: Sami, I know it was a scary dream, but sleep is important...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:15] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] chuckles nervously. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:16] CA: Sami...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:16] CA: What did Jack say?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:16] AA: ...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:17] CA: I understand if you don't want to talk about it...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:17] AA: ...he said we were going to play a game.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:17] CA: oh...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:18] AA: But there wasn't really much of a game. Just him being a jerk. As per usual.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:18] AA: Had to choose between something bad happening to Katie and something bad happening to me.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:18] AA: Like that's even a choice, right?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:19] CA: yeah *half hearted chuckle*...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:20] CA: Is that why you don't want to sleep?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:20] AA: Yeah. He said he was going to do something to my dreamself. It....didn't sound nice.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:21] AA: Look, don't tell Katie, okay?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:21] CA: Why?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:21] AA: I just....don't want her to worry.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:22] AA: She might blame herself or something.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:22] CA: hehe, wow you really do put everyone else before yourself...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:22] CA: I guess that's one of the reasons I-...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:22] AA: Nah. It's cool. I'm tough. I can handle it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:22] CA: I-I-I think of you as such a good friend hahahaha...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:23] AA: Me too, Beau.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:23] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] smiles at Beau. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:23] -- chessAficionado [CA] smiles back --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:23] CA: stop you'll make me blush...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:23] AA: Haha.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:25] CA: Sami I need to tell you something...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:25] AA: Sure thing, Beau. You can tell me anything!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:25] CA: Well um... I kind of sorta...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:26] CA: I like you, like a lot...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:26] AA: I like you a lot too, silly. That's what friendship IS!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:26] CA: No like, more than friends...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:26] CA: you know, I like-like you...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:26] AA: Oh, like BEST FRIENDS. Yeah, me too.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:27] CA: No Sami! Like, I...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:27] CA: I love you...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:27] AA: Aww, you.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:27] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] shoves Beau playfully, clearly still not getting it. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:28] CA: Sami! Please listen...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:28] AA: Okay.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:29] CA: I love you, like Kate loves Kikate...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:29] AA: But....Kate and Kikate are DATING, Beau.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:30] CA: Yes, I know, that's what I'm saying...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:31] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] turns completely red, as comprehension finally starts to dawn on her. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:32] -- chessAficionado [CA] turns a beet shade of red as well --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:32] CA: yeah...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:32] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] appears to be frozen in place though. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:33] CA: Sami? you ok?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:33] -- arcaneArtisan's [AA'S] experssion does not change, and she does not respond. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:33] CA: Oh man, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you, it was a stupid idea...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:34] CA: uh Sami...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:35] CA: Sami at least give me a response...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:35] -- chessAficionado [CA] taps sami on the shoulder --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:35] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] continues to stare forward with exactly the same expression on her face. She still has not moved. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:38] -- chessAficionado [CA] puts on her best colonel impression --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:38] CA: "SAMANTHA HESTON IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP"...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:38] -- arcaneArtisan's [AA'S] eyes flicker a little. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:39] CA: "YOU NEED TO GET READY FOR um SCHOOL YOUNG LADY"...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:40] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] still seems to be in BSOD mode. It must be a bad one if even the Colonel impression is still not working. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:41] -- chessAficionado [CA] pulls Sami into a deep hug --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:41] CA: please...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:41] CA: just say something...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:41] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] blinks a little and eventually hugs Beau back. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:42] AA: Beau, I...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:42] AA: ...I don't know what to do.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:43] AA: I only know about friendship. I don't know how to be someone's...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:43] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] somehow manages to turn even redder. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:43] CA: Don't you freeze up on me again...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:43] AA: ...I don't know if I'd be any good at it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:44] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] looks up at Beau with nervous eyes. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:44] CA: Sami you're the kindest, nicest, most empathetic and strong willed person I know...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:44] CA: There's a reason I... well you know...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:44] AA: No, no, I'm just a normal girl.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:44] AA: Don't be silly.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:45] CA: Does a normal girl get third degree burns and break their legs to help their friends?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:45] AA: Well sure.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:45] AA: ...don't they?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:45] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] looks genuinely confused. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:45] CA: Does a normal girl fight monsters just to make sure we all make it to dinner time?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:45] AA: Well dinner is important...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:47] CA: and does a normal girl go through dangerous time magic/surgery because you don't want to slow everyone else down?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:47] CA: No they don't Sami...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:47] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] looks down at her feet. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:47] CA: You aren't a normal girl, you're the most awesome girl I've ever met...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:48] AA: ...you're awesome too, Beau.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:48] -- chessAficionado [CA] hugs Sami again --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:48] CA: Ohh, I'm nothing compared to you...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:48] AA: But are you sure this is what you want? I mean....there are people out there who would be way better at romance.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:49] CA: There's no one I'd rather be with...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:49] AA: ...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:49] AA: ...okay. I'll try. For you.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:50] AA: But don't say I didn't warn you. I'm probably going to be the worst girlfr....GIRLFRIEND ever.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:50] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] seems a little proud of herself for being able to get the words out at all. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:50] -- chessAficionado [CA] puts her forehead against Sami's --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:51] CA: You're already the best...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:52] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] grabs Beau's hand, but doesn't say anything. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:53] -- chessAficionado [CA] squeezes Sami's hand --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:53] CA: come on, we should catch up with the others...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:53] AA: Yeah. You're right. I went through that whole mess so as to NOT hold them up.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:53] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] walks a little closer to Beau than is strictly necessary, though. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:55] CA: Well, we better not hold anyone up, come on...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:56] -- chessAficionado [CA] quickens her pace --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:56] CA: come one, I bet I can beat you to the rest of the group!...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:56] AA: Haha, you're on!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:57] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] runs to catch up. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> -- arcaneArtisan [AA] ceased pestering chessAficionado [CA] at 03:57 --
