[04:24] -- chessAficionado [CA] began pestering arcaneArtisan [AA] at 04:24 --

[04:24] CA: Hey Sami~...

[04:24] AA: Hey.

[04:25] CA: I wanted to... apologize for Tlaloc's behavior...

[04:25] AA: It's okay. I wasn't being too jealous, was I?

[04:25] AA: I think I might've been....unfriendly for a second there.

[04:26] CA: Oooh, if anything you were protecting me...

[04:26] AA: Yeah, but he looked so hurt when I glared at him like that...

[04:26] AA: ...I'm worried I was rubbing it in his face or something.

[04:27] CA: Well, you did get a bit showy about it...

[04:27] AA: Oh god, I did didn't I?

[04:28] CA: It's fine really! I'll speak to him, clear the air...

[04:29] AA: I don't think I've ever been jealous before. It feels weird.

[04:29] CA: I don't even see what his problem is, first it's "this relationship wasn't real" now it's "I'm going to pursue you even though you are in a relationship"...

[04:30] AA: So he WAS getting too chummy with you? I wasn't just imagining that?

[04:30] CA: No you were not, it was really awkward...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:31] AA: Well....I still feel bad about being a butt to him, even so. I should've found a better way to tell him it was making me uncomfortable.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:31] CA: It's ok, we'll work on it...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:31] AA: I should make him a peace offering. Do you know anything he likes? I could make him something so he knows there are no hard feelings.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:32] AA: Nothing with an alchemiter though. Not until this curse is gone.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:33] CA: That's a great idea, but yes, that curse will be a problem...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:35] CA: I should see what else I can find out about THAT sweater...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:35] AA: Oh, that's right! I forgot all about it. I should tell Libby about what I learned!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:36] CA: What'd you learn?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:36] AA: You remember I told you that Jack....well, about Jack while I was in that time warp?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:36] CA: yeah, that...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:36] AA: I had a flash of inspiration and tried to get him to look at that picture I drew in my sketchbook. He grabbed it from you and looked through, but he was totally unaffected!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:37] AA: He even mocked me about it, like "Ha, like I would be affected by that!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:37] AA: I thought I had been so clever, too...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:37] AA: I'm not sure what it means, though.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:38] CA: Even *I* haven't thought of weaponizing it's effects, you were definitly being clever...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:38] CA: but man, he was completely unfazed?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:38] AA: Yeah! Not even a woozy head or anything!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:38] AA: Or at least he didn't seem woozy headed. Just went on with his dumb game.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:39] CA: It's probably part of his arsenal of hacks and cheats...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:39] AA: Man. Thinking about Jack has me all worked up about Doir again, too.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:39] AA: I hope he'll be okay. I just have such a bad feeling...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:40] CA: I'm sure Ryspor will get through to him perfectly fine...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:40] AA: I hope you're right.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:40] AA: And that it's not too late. Jack can be petty.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:41] AA: I mean look how he tried to punish Katie just for messing with Time, even though she wasn't doing anything to hurt him!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:41] CA: Yes, it is certainly troubling...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:42] AA: And I thought he LIKED Katie. I mean, I don't think he thinks of her as a friend or anything anymore, but I thought he sort of respected her a little more than the rest of us, at least.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:43] CA: I suppose he doesn't like people messing with his rukes...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:43] CA: *rules...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:44] AA: I wonder if he would tell us what his dumb rules were, so we know not to break them?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:44] AA: Either way, I'll bet "taking his presents" is against at least one of them.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:45] CA: Oh dear, now I've gone and started worrying...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:47] CA: oh hey, I do have something for you, my own little christmas gift for you...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:48] -- chessAficionado [CA] pulls out a piece of paper --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:49] CA: Now I know I'm not as good an artist as you, but here...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:49] AA: Oh wow. Beau, you didn't have to do that. I didn't have time to finish the present I wanted to make for YOU!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:49] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] looks at the paper. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:50] CA: On the paper is a rather poorly drawn picture of Sami, with the words "love of my life" written next to it...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:50] AA: Aww, Beau. This is so sweet!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:51] AA: Thank you.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:51] CA: Hehe, you're welcome...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:52] AA: I feel like such a butt for not getting yours finished in time. It's a lot more work than I thought it would be!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:52] AA: But I don't want to spoil it yet. I might give it to you for Valentine's Day instead.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:52] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] blushes a little as she says this. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:53] CA: Heheh, ok, I won't pry...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:54] CA: Oh wait, there's one more thing, it's something I found at that winter world...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:54] CA: Close your eyes...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:54] AA: Something ELSE?! Beau, now you're really making me feel like the worst...!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:55] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] obeys, though, still objecting a little. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:56] CA: Ok, open...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:56] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] opens her eyes. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:56] CA: When you open your eyes, you're greeted with Beau, blushing, holding a piece of mistletoe over your head...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:57] CA: merry christmas...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:57] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] takes a while to process what's happening. When she realizes what's happening, she turns completely red again. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:58] CA: Oh no! You aren't going to freeze again are you?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:58] AA: M....merry christmas...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:58] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] is clearly struggling not to freeze though. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:59] CA: Oh, it can wait, I don't want you to do anything you aren't comfortable with...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:59] -- chessAficionado [CA] pulls Sami into a hug instead --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:59] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] closes her eyes and breathes in, then goes for the kiss as Beau goes for the hug, bumping into her face as she does so. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:59] AA: Ow!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:59] CA: heh, watch it...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:00] AA: Oh man. I killed the moment, didn't I?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:00] -- chessAficionado [CA] kisses Sami --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:00] CA: nope...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:00] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] has turned redder still, but she's smiling, and she's touching her fingers to her lips. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:03] AA: I have to...I've gotta...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:03] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] kind of runs off in a daze. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:03] CA: Talk to ya later Sami...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:03] -- chessAficionado [CA] ceased pestering arcaneArtisan [AA] at 05:03 --
