 [09:15] GT: ~Mary!~

 [09:15] GT: ~Mary, are yov here?~

 [09:15] TT: D-Dad?!

 [09:16] GT: ~Oh, Mary, I am ʃo terribly ʃorry I made yov worry. ~

 [09:19] TT: It.. It's ok.. It's ok it's all ok because you aren't dead

 [09:19] GT: ~...Well.~

 [09:19] TT: oh god those ...s do not look very nice

 [09:20] GT: ~I ʃvppoʃe if one wantʃ to get EXTREMELY technical, I am perhapʃ not exactly 'alive' at thiʃ point in time.~

 [09:20] TT: Uuuuuuh..

 [09:21] GT: ~Bvt I certainly do exiʃt, ʃo really, that'ʃ all one can aʃk for.~

 [09:22] TT: s-so you are dead.. but you're existing??

 [09:23] GT: ~Yeʃ, I ʃvppoʃe that wovld be accvrate.~

 [09:23] GT: ~It'ʃ rather complicated.~

 [09:23] TT: ;~;

 [09:24] GT: ~Do yov remember my pvniʃhment for ʃtealing from the fovntain?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:24] TT: y-yeah

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:26] GT: ~Well, it wovld appear that I waʃ vnwittingly taking part in an vnholy ritval that, once complete, cavʃed me to vndergo a rather...draʃtic tranʃformation.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:26] GT: ~I am now what iʃ called a ʃervant of the Boneʃ.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:26] TT: uhhhh

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:26] TT: m-meaning?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:26] GT: ~The cloʃeʃt approximation wovld be a genie. I am bovnd to ʃerve whoever holdʃ my boneʃ.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:27] GT: ~It'ʃ qvite griʃly, really.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:27] TT: who uh... who are you serving.. r-right now?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:28] GT: ~Worry not, my boneʃ are ʃafe with Libby.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:29] TT: Oh thank g-goodness

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:30] TT: I was worried I'd have to go g-get them myself, if they were in the wrong hands..

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:32] GT: ~I wovldn't let it come to that, Mary, I promiʃe yov. I wovld deʃtroy myʃelf before I made yov go throvgh that.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:36] TT: Well, it's ok, because it h-hasn't come to that.. I guess

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:48] GT: ~Indeed it haʃ not, and hopefvlly it never will. I am taking every precavtion to enʃvre it doeʃ not, reʃt aʃʃvred.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:51] TT: Oh ok, ok, yea, r-rest assured, I'll t-try and do that

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:53] GT: ~Excellent. I promiʃe, yov will have nothing to worry abovt.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:53] GT: ~Now.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:53] GT: ~I have been informed that yov received a gift from Jack.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:53] TT: Y-Yea

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:53] TT: A headband..

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:54] GT: ~I cannot expreʃʃ how vrgent it iʃ that yov deʃtroy it immediately.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:55] GT: ~Jack iʃ a very dangerovʃ man. It iʃ almoʃt certain that thiʃ 'gift' iʃ a trap in diʃgviʃe, no matter how beneficial it may ʃeem to be.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:55] TT: Y-Yeah, I sorta got told that already..

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:57] GT: ~Then yov have ʃvrely already diʃpoʃed of it, yeʃ?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:58] TT: I guess it's a little hard to let go off..

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:59] TT: When I wear it, I become human...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:59] GT: ~...Oh, Mary.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:59] GT: ~I'm ʃo ʃorry.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:01] GT: ~Believe me, if I covld in good conʃcience allow yov to keep it, I wovld.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:02] TT: N-No, there might be a way around this..

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:02] TT: Maybe I can figure out how to replicate the magic without the possible booby traps

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:03] TT: Or well.. I guess I can live without it.. I've done it for 18 years already..

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:03] GT: ~That iʃ vnacceptable. I am ʃvre we can find a way.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:04] GT: ~There are a great many bookʃ on magic of all kindʃ on my planet. They are all in Engliʃh, however, ʃo we will need ʃomeone flvent in it to aid in tranʃlation. I preʃvme yov are? I am only capable of recognizing the letterʃ, vnfortvnately.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:05] TT: I am self taught, so I can do my best

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:06] GT: ~Excellent! I ʃhall make a jovrney there aʃ ʃoon aʃ I can and bring aʃ many relevant titleʃ aʃ I can find.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:06] GT: ~I mvʃt confeʃʃ, I am not exactly the moʃt proficient with magic, however. It wovld be nice if we had a ʃcholar of magic, aʃ Leon waʃ...~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:07] TT: I won't claim to be a magician myself.. but according to Kolena, sylphs are like fairies, so maybe I have it in me!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:09] GT: ~It iʃ moʃt definitely worth a ʃhot!~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:09] GT: ~In the meantime...~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:10] TT: And I suppose there is one other option.. but I'm not sure how mch I want to think about it, from what I've seen on LoBaE

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:10] GT: ~Have yov ever attempted vʃing makevp to make yovr appearance leʃʃ troll-like?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:10] TT: Yes, I have actually. It doesn't work as well as one might hope

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:11] GT: ~Well, perhapʃ for yovr average troll, it doeʃ not. Yov, however, are ʃpeaking to a former FLARPer. There iʃ no makevp obʃtacle I cannot overcome.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:12] GT: ~I once managed to diʃgviʃe the entire, moʃtly male party aʃ women, and not a ʃingle perʃon batted an eyelaʃh.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:14] GT: ~I am qvite poʃʃibly the beʃt makevp artiʃt of all trollkind and, thankʃ to the admittedly vnfortvnate deʃtrvction of both ovr vniverʃeʃ, I can aʃʃvre yov I am not exaggerating.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:15] GT: ~When I am done with yov, yov will look ʃo fabvlovʃ people are liable to forget yov ever even reʃembled a troll in the firʃt place.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:16] TT: and.. my horns?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:16] TT: I hope you don't plan to sand them off

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:17] GT: ~Good GodOʃ, no. It iʃ...admittedly ironic that yov of all people wovld ʃvggeʃt that, conʃidering what happened to yovr father'ʃ, bvt I wovld not do that to yov withovt yovr fvll and willing conʃent.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:18] TT: Well.. as riveting as it is to talk about the horrors my d-dad faced, I might not even need make up eventually

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:19] TT: After all, I have no idea what to expect on LoPaP, it was a very magical place from the glimpse I got of it..

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:31] GT: ~Well, vntil we can find an alternative, we ʃhall ʃimply have to look vpon them aʃ a faʃhion acceʃʃory.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:32] GT: ~Or perhapʃ do yovr hair vp in the beehive faʃhion?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:32] TT: I know my main fasion choices are a hoodie and jeans, but I still have a little sensse that I'm not from the 1940s

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:33] GT: ~Merely a ʃvggeʃtion.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:36] TT: It's not a big priority! Really, there are more important things..

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:37] GT: ~Nonʃenʃe! Yov are my davghter. It iʃ my firʃt and foremoʃt priority to enʃvre yovr happineʃʃ and well-being.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:38] TT: But well, what about the world quest? And the thing with this Jack guy?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:40] GT: ~Oh piʃh-toʃh. We're ʃtvck in a pit, we have nothing elʃe to do.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:41] TT: Pish... tosh?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:42] GT: ~...Yeʃ?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:42] TT: Did you hit your head?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:43] TT: Do you need medical attention?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:43] GT: ~Not that I am aware of? It iʃ entirely poʃʃible that I am incapable of being killed now, in actval fact.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:46] TT: Well, if that's incorrect, I could always use the practice

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:47] TT: better s-safe than sorry

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:47] GT: ~I ʃtill don't vnderʃtand the reaʃon for alarm. Piʃh-toʃh iʃ a perfectly valid expreʃʃion.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:48] TT: M-Maybe in your universe :P

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:49] GT: ~3=>:|~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:57] TT: Well.. anyways.. I'm sorry Ryspor.. if I had just taken the coins, you'd still be alive..

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:58] GT: ~No, it'ʃ not yovr favlt. Yov covldn't have known thiʃ wovld be the reʃvlt. In any caʃe, I am the one at favlt for taking them in the firʃt place.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:01] TT: well, at any rate, blame is useless now, I'm just glad we can still talk.. even if you're a little bit d-dead

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:02] GT: ~Ahaha. Only a little bit?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:02] TT: we are still talking, and you are still you, I lively heart is what counts the most

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:16] GT: ~I ʃvppoʃe ʃo, yeʃ. I am glad I'm ʃtill here. I know how mvch it hvrtʃ to loʃe a loved one. I'd hate to pvt yov throvgh that.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:16] GT: ~...Not again, at leaʃt.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:17] TT: .. yeah.. well! You're here now, and that's what really matters right? ^_^

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:18] GT: ~Indeed. And I promiʃe I will not leave yovr ʃide again.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:20] GT: ~I'll ʃee abovt getting yov one of my boneʃ, and Thiago aʃ well. In a way, thiʃ iʃ a good thing - it meanʃ I'll alwayʃ be right there whenever yov need me!~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:21] TT: Nor I yours! and yes, I'll try not to abuse this power.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:21] TT: Wait so, does this mean you can be in two places at once?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:22] GT: ~I don't think ʃo, no. I'm likely only capable of anʃwering one ʃvmmonʃ at a time.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:24] TT: Interesting.. I still have yet to meet my half brother, I should do that!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:24] GT: ~Aʃ I ʃaid, thiʃ iʃ qvite a recent tranʃformation. Only time will tell what new abilitieʃ I have gained.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:24] GT: ~He'ʃ qvite a nice boy! I think the two of yov will get along very well.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:27] GT: ~ʃpeaking of, I ʃhovld inform him and my fellow veteranʃ of my...condition.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:27] TT: Ok, good luck Ryspor!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:27] GT: ~Thank yov! I'll ʃee yov ʃoon! 3=:)~
