[08:01] TA: Lily! 3=:D

[08:02] GT: On my way now, hold your horses.

[08:02] GT: Where you wanna meet?

[08:02] TA: My room.

[08:02] GT: Oh my. So forward.

[08:02] TA: Oh please.

[08:02] TA: *Thiago rolls his eyes dramatically*

[08:03] TA: -

[08:03] GT: Lily knocks on his door. "Thiagooooooo, I'm heeeeeere. You'd better not be plotting to murder me."

[08:03] TA: He opens the door. "Why would I do that?"

[08:03] GT: "You thought Machiavelli had valid points."

[08:04] TA: His face makes a straight line.

[08:04] TA: "Anyway, I have an idea."

[08:05] GT: "About the shenanicite?"

[08:05] TA: He nods.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:05] TA: "But before I tell you, I need to know... Can I trust you?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:06] GT: She hesitates, before nodding. "Yes. Absolutely."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:06] TA: He blinks.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:06] TA: "Seriously, nothing I say in here leaves this room, kay?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:07] GT: "What the fuck are you planning, Thiago?" Lily looks slightly nervous.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:07] TA: He smiles. "I've got a way to..." He leans in and whispers. "Beat Jack."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:09] GT: "...What?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:09] TA: He nods, triumphant.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:10] TA: "He gave us the instruments for his destruction, you see."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:11] TA: "If my sources are correct and extrapolations true, / we can use the shenanicite to change our classes, see?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:12] GT: "So, what, you're saying we change our classes into something actually useful?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:12] TA: "More than useful... The best. Master classes. The lord and muse."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:13] TA: "You and I, Lord of Hope, and Muse of Mind. Together, strong."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:13] GT: "You're monologuing."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:14] TA: "Sami said there must be a muse for every lord, vice versa" He smiles, knowing full well what he's doing but fuck you lily.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:14] TA: "Therefore, becoming a lord or a muse is difficult."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:14] TA: "But what if we tried to change our classes at the same time?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:15] TA: He raises his eyebrows, signalling the end of that line of monologue.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:16] GT: "Do you think it'll work?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:17] TA: He pauses.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:17] TA: "I hope so. Otherwise, we may have lost before starting."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:18] GT: Lily seems to think about something. "...OK. Let's do this."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:19] TA: "Excellent." He smiles sweetly. "I knew I could trust you, Lily."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:20] TA: "Now."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:21] TA: "I'm going to prepare a few things before we try this thing. / I will let you know when I'm ready."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:24] GT: "Why can't we do it now?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:25] TA: He draws a shaking breath. "Because... I haven't worked up the nerve."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:27] GT: "Pfffff, what? It'll be fine! I mean, it's not like we're gonna explode if it fails or something, right?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:30] TA: Thiago sweats visibly. "That's... actually what I am afraid of." He sighs. "Although... Dreamselves?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:31] GT: "Mine's dead. Pretty sure, anyway." She sighs. "I haven't woken up on Derse in a long time."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:32] TA: "I doubt it."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:34] GT: "Well, whatever. Still doubt it's hale and hearty."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:36] TA: "I'll call you soon enough, don't worry."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:37] GT: "OK. Just..." She looks at him with a strange expression. "Do it soon, OK? Please. And try to stay with other people. Don't go off alone."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:37] TA: He blinks and smiles. "I'll keep my door locked."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:38] GT: "You'd better." She puts her hands on her hips with a stern expression. "I order you with my authority as Aunt Lil-Bit."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:39] TA: He salutes. "As you demand, my lady."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:41] GT: "Verily, good sir." She giggles. "All right, take care. See you at go time."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:41] TA: He nods and shows her out the door, locking it behind her.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:42] GT: Approximately 30 seconds after you lock the door, there's a knock.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:42] TA: Thiago calls out. "Who is it?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:42] GT: "Me!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:42] TA: He opens the door.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:43] GT: Lily is standing there, blushing furiously for some reason. "Forgot something," she says tersely.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:43] TA: He blinks, confused.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:44] GT: She grabs his shoulders and kisses him firmly on the lips.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:45] TA: His eyes open wide and he staggers back. "U-uh... Lily?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:46] GT: She teeters nervously. "Uh. Bye!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:46] GT: She then runs down the hallway like a streak of lightning.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:46] TA: He blinks and unsteadilly closes the door behind her again... locking it slowly.
