[02:25] GT: ~ʃami, hello, ah...~

[02:25] GT: ~I have ʃome...vnfortvnate newʃ.~

[02:25] AA: Oh, hi. This is Ryspor, right?

[02:26] GT: ~Yeʃ, thiʃ iʃ he.~

[02:26] AA: Oh no! I thought it was unusual for you to be contacting me. Did something happen to Team Dangan Ronpa?

[02:26] GT: ~...Yeʃ, yov covld ʃay that.~

[02:27] GT: ~It, ah...Well, allow me to get ʃtraight to the point.~

[02:27] GT: ~Kikate and Joʃʃik are dead.~

[02:27] GT: ~Permanently ʃo.~

[02:27] GT: ~And Libby iʃ gone.~

[02:27] AA: What?!

[02:27] AA: Libby too? What happened?!

[02:28] GT: ~Kikate and Joʃʃik kidnapped Libby from the tower ʃomehow, and attempted to trade her to Jack for ʃtimʃ.~

[02:28] AA: Holy crap.

[02:28] GT: ~Then a horrible monʃter the likeʃ of which I have never ʃeen before attacked, killed them both, and Jack eʃcaped with Libby in the panic.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:28] AA: Oh wow. Was it some kind of imp?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:29] GT: ~...No, it waʃ mvch more...mammalian, I'd ʃay. Very...fvrry.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:29] GT: ~And very, very, deadly. JACK looked afraid of it.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:29] AA: Wow.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:29] AA: Maybe we need to try to make friends with this thing somehow then.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:30] GT: ~I highly dovbt it can be reaʃoned with, if the ʃeverity of itʃ attackʃ are anything to jvdge by.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:30] AA: I was sort of being wistful rather than making a real suggestion.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:30] GT: ~Oh, haha.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:31] AA: Okay....man. I hate to hear that about Kikate and Jossik. Jossik's been though so much already. And I don't know Kikate that well, but Kate really liked him.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:31] AA: She's probably going to be devastated. T_T

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:32] GT: ~Oh GodOʃ, Kate, I hadn't even thovght abovt her.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:32] AA: As for Libby....do we have a plan for how to get her back from Jack?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:33] GT: ~Not at the moment, no, I'm afraid. Ovr beʃt bet ʃo far iʃ to complete ovr world qveʃt aʃ faʃt aʃ poʃʃible, aʃ it'ʃ poʃʃible the creatvre that attacked waʃ a devolvtion of a creatvre, and jvdging by how it attacked thoʃe who were a threat to Libby, it'ʃ poʃʃible it iʃ friendly after all.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:33] GT: ~It'ʃ a bit of a long ʃhot, bvt it'ʃ the beʃt lead we've got aʃ of right now.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:34] AA: Okay. So that's one idea. Have we thought about negotiating with Jack?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:35] AA: Obviously we're going to get the worse end of the deal, but....it's an option, even if it's an ugly one.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:36] GT: ~...I ʃvppoʃe. If worʃt comeʃ to worʃt, we may have to bvckle down and deal with the angel aʃ yov ʃvggeʃt.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:36] AA: Angel?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:36] GT: ~Vm, yeʃ. I thovght it waʃ a rather fitting compariʃon. Doeʃ the word mean ʃomething different in yovr cvltvre?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:38] AA: Angels in our cultures are messengers or servants or something for a god.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:38] AA: I guess there've been a lot of evil angels in movies, but usually that's supposed to be a BIG TWIST when it happens.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:38] GT: ~Intereʃting. On Alternia, angelʃ are fearʃome beaʃtʃ that vʃher in the end of paradox ʃpace.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:40] AA: Well there are a couple like that I think in our stuff, but people usually focus on the ones that bring good messages for some reason.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:40] AA: We would probably call it a deal with the devil in this case.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:41] GT: ~It'ʃ alwayʃ faʃcinating to me to note the differenceʃ and ʃimilaritieʃ between ovr ʃeparate cvltvreʃ. They're alike in ʃo many wayʃ, and yet ʃo different at the ʃame time.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:42] AA: So do you think we have time for you guys to beat your world before we try to do something to help Libby?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:43] AA: I mean....I think she said she didn't think Jack was planning to kill her when I asked her about it--said something about a "prisoner exchange," I think--but I'm sure whatever it is isn't good.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:43] GT: ~If we hvrry, yeʃ. I will do my beʃt to hvrry my team along; we're rather notoriovʃ for getting bogged down in relationʃhip drama, vnfortvnately.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:44] GT: ~That ʃhovld be leʃʃ of a problem now, thovgh, ʃeeing aʃ two of ovr memberʃ are gone, haha, ha...~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:44] GT: ~Oh GodOʃ that ʃovnded bad.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:44] AA: :( Okay. I guess that's all we can do then. Is there anything you want us to do?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:46] GT: ~I ʃvppoʃe be on yovr gvard for ʃtrange white-fvrred creatvreʃ with glowing red eyeʃ.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:46] AA: Okay. I'll keep an eye out. Assuming it can even get here from LOLWAT. I guess there could be more than one though.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:47] GT: ~Goodneʃʃ knowʃ there've been ʃtranger thingʃ in thiʃ game than teleporting monʃterʃ.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:47] AA: Yeah. That's true. Heck, I have stranger things living inside my brain than teleporting monsters.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:48] GT: ~Ooh, yeʃ, yovr cvrʃed ʃweater. Did yov have any lvck with Beav on negating the avra of bad lvck?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:50] AA: Oh. I'm not wearing it anymore. But there's more to it than that.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:50] AA: It's not important right now though.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:51] GT: ~Oh, all right then. I'm glad yov got the ʃweater off, in any caʃe.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:51] AA: You just focus on beating your world. I'll tell the others on Slammajamm what's up.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:51] AA: ...oh. Does Balish know?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:51] GT: ~He'ʃ...miʃʃing, actvally. No one qvite ʃeemʃ to know where he iʃ.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:52] AA: Oh man. Even more bad news.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:52] GT: ~Libby didn't ʃeem pertvrbed when I contacted her a ʃhort while before the incident, thovgh, ʃo I'm not particvlarly worried.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:54] AA: Man. Everything's going crazy.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:55] GT: ~It really iʃ, iʃn't it?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:57] AA: Well, good luck Ryspor.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:58] AA: I'll try to put feelers out to get in touch with Balish. Maybe I should ask Maenam if she knows where he is.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:58] GT: ~Actvally, ʃhe'ʃ the one who brovght it to my attention, ʃo I dovbt yov'll have lvck there.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:58] AA: Oh. :(

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[02:59] AA: Well....I guess I'll just keep trying him then.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:00] GT: ~Good lvck on yovr tireleʃʃ crvʃade for the ornery indigoblood, then.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:00] AA: Thanks.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:01] GT: ~Yov too.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:01] AA: All right. Talk to you later.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:01] GT: ~Farewell, ʃami!~
