 [10:00] AC: GreetingS, human. ThiS iS a valid handle, yeS?

 [10:00] CA: Hm, yes it is, you are?...

 [10:01] AC: RilSet LeyerS. Of Team MaSo. IS there are reaSon you are attemPting to coPy my choSen color?

 [10:02] CA: Beau Demain. Of Team SlamaJamm. This is the color I have always used, I hope that is not of issue...

 [10:06] AC: Ah. Then I SuPPoSe not. AS long aS thiS iS not Some Sort of obtuSe form of mockery.

 [10:06] AC: I noticed that of all the humanS, you were the only one I had not yet SPoken to. Since I am trying to Put on a more Sociable face theSe dayS, I thought I Should try and rectify that.

 [10:07] CA: So you must be one of the trolls I have yet to meet, It's a pleasure to meet you...

 [10:09] AC: Why? Or iS thiS Some Sort of Standardized greeting, Said at the Start of every firSt meeting? HumanS' Social ritualS Seem to me to be even Stranger than thoSe of my own kind.

 [10:11] CA: Yes, no offense meant, but I am simply being polite, I have not spoken to you long enough to know if it's truly a pleasure. Though it seems there still remains a large gap inbetween our two cultures, one that I doubt will ever be filled...

 [10:14] AC: PerhaPS not. PerSonally however, I find moSt of troll culture to be abhorrent. You are not miSSing a great deal not underStanding it.

 [10:16] CA: Oh? So you do not live by the rules of troll culture? Then what rules do you live by?...

 [10:17] AC: My own. I care my garden, and any and all PlantS which need my Protection. I kill any who would bring them harm. That iS my PurPoSe.

 [10:18] CA: Ah, I will make note to take care around plants in your presence...

 [10:18] AC: That would be wiSe.

 [10:19] AC: What of you? Do you conform to your Society'S ruleS?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:19] CA: Yes I believe I do, after all, if I didn't, I would be unable to thrive...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:20] AC: Even now? After the death of your civilization?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:21] CA: Of course, there are exceptions, like the avoidance of violence, but yes, I try to keep on this track, in a way it keeps me sane...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:22] CA: If we were all to turn barbaric at the loss of society, we would not make much progress in this game at all...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:23] AC: Sane SeemS to be a fairly fluid concePt theSe dayS. And I am not certain barbariSm iS not an aSSet in Playing thiS game.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:23] AC: It ServeS me nicely.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:24] CA: Well yes, it is all part of keeping a balanced team, if we were all muscle over mind, we would lose, if we were all mind over matter, we would lose, the balance is the key to survival...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:25] CA: That is how I see it anyway...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:26] AC: I concede that intelligence and Scheming are imPortant aS well. I SimPly leave that uP to trickier individualS than mySelf.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:27] AC: How do thingS fare on your team then? You do have Nullar with you, yeS?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:27] CA: Yes I do, we are on my planet, the land of amber and fools...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:29] AC: Ah. Then from what I have heard, your imPS are very difficult to kill. I Sent a few codeS the the human Nate, that might helP to take care of them. HaS he alchemized them yet?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:30] CA: He did make mention of them during the strategy meeting, and he distributed the codes to the team, you are speaking of those electric nets, yes?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:30] AC: Indeed. Tell me, haS hiS behavior towardS Nullar Seemed odd, in any reSPect?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:31] CA: Not that I can tell, he seemed to act the same as he usually does...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:31] CA: although...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:31] CA: I think he called her 'Dear' once or twice...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:32] CA: Why do you ask?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:33] AC: Oh, no real reaSon. SimPle curioSity, that'S all.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:34] AC: He doeS know She haS a mateSPrite though, yeS? The creature Jack.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:35] AC: She iS Prone to flirting, which SometimeS getS otherS in trouble.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:36] AC: If you would not mind, could you make Sure Nate'S moirail knowS thiS? I would not want her leading him on.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:36] CA: I wonder though, did you, by any chance, put Nate up to something? Nate himself also has a matesprite, and even then he is not one to use terms of endearment that way, and you being curious about how Nate has been acting with Nullar forms a very suspicous circle, wouldn't you agree?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:38] AC: Ah. I did tell you I waS not a natural Schemer. YeS, I did aSk Nate to do thiS for me. Though he did Seem quite eager. I SimPly thought it would be funny.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:39] CA: Hm I see, Honestly, I can see why he would agree to it, you are already giving us useful weaponry, a few simple words is a very nice price...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:42] AC: It coSt me little to give them to you. And I would rather See Nullar alive than dead. Though I feel I Should warn you, I waS not lying when I Said that Nullar waS a flirt. You may wiSh to keeP a cloSe eye on your teammateS, leSt they are encouraged to do Something fooliSh.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:43] AC: That goeS for moSt of her quadrantS, I might add.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:43] CA: I will remember this for when need be, though I must ask, what is your relationship to Nullar?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:45] AC: A former moirail. A Poor one, if I am honeSt. While I am critical of how the human Sami haS been doing, at leaSt She iS willing to Stand uP to Nullar once in a while. I waS a comPlete PuShover.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:48] CA: Well, I can see why you'd be concerned of her status...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:50] AC: Are you cloSe with the human Sami? I did not mean to SuggeSt that Nullar would be unfaithful to her. Her Problem lieS more in the red and black realmS.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:50] CA: Yes, I am her matesprite actually...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:54] AC: Ah. Then you might be cloSe enough to them to helP me. I don't wiSh to tread into Sami'S territory, but I do worry that She might not alwayS underStand troll romance. For inStance, haS anyone Shown intereSt in Nullar'S black quadrant?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:55] CA: Not that I know of, but I am not to invested into Nullar's personal quadrants...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:57] AC: Of courSe you aren't, I did not mean to imPly anything. It iS juSt that She can be rather erratic at time, and I believe a Stable black relationShiP might helP to calm her. She can be quite clever, when She iS not Stumbling over herSelf in romance.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:58] CA: Though as I recall, she does harbor black feelings for Balish, but because of Libby, that relationship is not one she can persue...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:59] CA: And I do not think her mind is as consumed by romance as you say, in fact she seems quite satisfied in her quadrants for the time being, she has been a great asset to the team...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [10:59] AC: Oh? Then PerhaPS I am SimPly worried over nothing. Pay me no mind then.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:00] AC: I am Sorry if I have made you uncomfortable. I really Should talk with Sami about Such thingS.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:00] CA: It is fine, it cannot hurt to be careful, and I'm not uncomfortable either...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:01] CA: So you have no need to apologize...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:03] AC: My uPbringing waS rather lacking in teaching Social SkillS, So I SometimeS find mySelf commiting faux PaS left and right. DeSPite all my fine wordS, I am no romantic exPert either.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:05] AC: So, feel free to ignore all that I have Said, if you judge it beSt.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:06] CA: Hm, it seems we are polar opposites...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:06] AC: Oh? In what way, other than the order of our letterS?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:08] CA: While you are lacking in social skills, your physical strength and power is what keeps you alive, on the other side of the coin, I am almost completely devoid of physical power, and make up for it with strategic prowess and mental ability...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:09] CA: It seems if you take the story of your upbringing and switch 'social' with physical, it completely matches my upbringing...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:10] AC: Hmm. IntereSting, that we Should be Such clear oPPoSiteS.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:12] AC: JuSt a coincidence that we Share a Similar color font and inverted letterS, I SuPPoSe. Or elSe the game haS a Strange SenSe of humor.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:12] CA: Honestly, I would not be suprised if it did...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:12] CA: Just another shock twist to be added to the pile of things this game can do...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:14] AC: It doeS Seem to like to keeP uS on our toeS. I will be glad to claim our final reward, and leave thiS Place. I fear my garden SufferS from my frequent abSenceS.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:15] CA: Yes, I doubt anyone doesn't want to finish this game as soon as possible...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:16] CA: Anyway, it truly was a pleasure to meet and speak to you, please, do not hesitate if you wish to speak again, but for now I will say farewell...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [11:16] AC: Farewell to you aS well.
