 [02:14] GA: ---

 [02:15] GA: Dina enters the Base through Lily's house. "hello? um. what is this place."

 [02:16] GT: Lily is waiting outside the door. Her face is very, very blank. "The Base."

 [02:16] GA: "what happened to the ragtime? howd you get back here?" Dina's tone is inquisitive, but not stern or anything.

 [02:17] GT: "The Denizen is dead."

 [02:17] GT: "And that was Jack."

 [02:17] GA: "aw man, so i dont get any loot?"

 [02:18] GA: "man i never get to be in the denizen killing fights"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:18] GT: "No. We got sh-shenanicite." Lily pulls it out.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:18] GA: "oh cool"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:18] GA: "whatcha gonna do w/ it?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:18] GA: "raise your mind to +5? ooh, try raising it to like, +25."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:19] GT: "I'm raising Deceive, actually."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:19] GA: "oh? why?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:19] GA: "i mean, being god tier is pretty sweet."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:20] GT: "I don't want that much power."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:20] GA: "why not?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:21] GT: "Because you could kill someone."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:22] GT: She's shaking slightly. "I don't want to kill someone."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:23] GA: "uhh, are you okay, lil-bit? you seem a bit... well, shaken?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:24] GT: "No." Her shoulders slump. "No, I'm not OK."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:24] GA: "need a ticket to hugtown?" Dina opens up her arms.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:25] GT: Lily totters forward, then clings to her like she's the only solid being in the universe.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:26] GA: Dina hugs her tight for a while in silence. "whats the story, morning glory? howd you get all up and like this?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:27] GT: "He killed someone, Dad."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:27] GT: "He finally fucking killed someone."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:27] GA: "jack? who?? erisio????!?!?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:29] GT: "Jack, yeah." She takes a shuddering breath. "Shenanicite comes from trickster bones, yeah?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:29] GT: "He made Fate trickster. Then he cut her head off."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:30] GA: "oh, no..." Dina hugs tigher.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:33] GA: "lily, did he hurt you? did he hurt anyone else? where's erisio??"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:33] GT: "No, everyone else is fine. Better than fine, actually; everything turned out pretty great except for that, and I mean, he had Thiago kiss her so she'll wake up on her moon, but..." She shudders. "He carved her skeleton out of her corpse and gave us the pieces as a reward for helping him."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:35] GT: "I dunno how Erisio's doing. He was on the other team." She winces. "Shit, he must hate me right now."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:35] GA: "other team? what happened?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:35] GA: Dina, for once in his/her life, looks genuinely concerned.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:36] GT: "Jack beamed us all onto some chessboard planet and told us we could either help Merrow fill Acey's Primer or help Jack do it instead."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:37] GT: "Three guesses to which team I picked."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:37] GA: "dont worry about it. its done now."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:37] GT: "I was gonna try and doublecross him initially, but...God, I'm glad I didn't now."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:38] GA: "erisio will forgive you, and i forgive you, and im sure the merrow guy will forgive you i guess."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:39] GA: "what happened to acenia?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:39] GT: "She's Jack's Partner now, but he's letting her stay matesprits with Merrow."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:40] GA: Dina sighs. "poor girl. that's not going to end so good for her."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:40] GA: "acenia's the chick i saved at halloween, and the merrow guy seemed to really love her."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:46] GT: "Yeah, they are really happy together." She sighs. "I mean, all things considered, things turned out about as good as they could have. I shouldn't be so down."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:48] GA: "yknow, me, sami, beau, null, meouet, nate, and maybe... rilset? i dunno, on beaus land we almost found secret trickster stuff in the trickster mines. but when we got in there, we ended up turning back."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:49] GA: "it was a two to one vote, but uh, i suppose i almost got me, nate, and beau, and potentially the others if they had managed to catch up killed."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:52] GT: "Tricksters are scary anyway." She giggles quietly. "Fate was INCREDIBLY sparkly."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:53] GA: "ok, but like. ok. but. check this out." Dina pulls out her henshin pen and spins around a bit, magical girl sparkles sparkling all around. "im sparkly."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:53] GT: "Yeah, but she was...TECHNICOLOR."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:54] GA: Dina stops. "what, like, maenam?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:54] GT: "Yeah. Exactly like Maenam."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:55] GA: "hehe. man, i really feel bad about the whole maenam sitch. i hurt her feelings so bad she hates me!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:55] GA: "with like, troll romantic fury."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:56] GT: "Yeah, hatemance is confusing." She grins. "Oh yeah, I totally kissed Milly."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:58] GA: "what, again? hahah, cool"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:59] GA: "wait, should i be like, egging you on for black romance and kissing people? is that what parents do?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:00] GA: "i mean i guess miloko is a pretty good kid. kinda stabby, but nice."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">[03:00] GT: " Yeah, she's cool. I like her."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[3:49:52 AM] GT: "Which is weird, because I'm supposed to hate her."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[3:50:06 AM] GA: "but you kissed... do you love her, or hatelove her?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[3:59:51 AM] GT: "I'm...not...sure.. I love Sorser, I know that. But I also love Milly. But I ALSO love Thiago, not that he can ever know that." She shrugs. "So really, who the fuck knows."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:00:19 AM] GA: "well youre probably just, like. uh. whats the word... polyamarous?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:00:51 AM] GT: "I thought that was only for trolls."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:02:00 AM] GA: "trolls are monogomous in their quadrants, but humans have polyamory too."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:03:06 AM] GT: "But I can't, like, be in a relationship with all of them at once, can I?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:03:42 AM] GA: "uh, no, you can. as long as everyone in the relationship is okay with it."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:04:39 AM] GA: "you dont have to all love each other, i think, but you can?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:05:31 AM] GT: "Well, damn." She runs a hand across her head where hair would be. "Do... Do you think they'd go for it though?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:07:04 AM] GA: "uh... you said milokos issue was due to not feeling loved enough by maenam, right?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:07:21 AM] GA: "so shes probably a bit possessive and jealous, that would be hard to get around."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:07:30 AM] GA: "also, she hates you."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:08:51 AM] GA: "thiago and sorser, well, maybe. i dont know them so well. why cant you be with thiago, though?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:10:07 AM] GT: "Because Thetz would fucking kill me."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:10:46 AM] GA: Dina counts her fingers. "one, two... hey, thats not a troll or a human name."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:11:13 AM] GT: "Nickname. Jack came up with it."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:11:28 AM] GA: "its an evil name then."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:11:36 AM] GT: "Not twinkjack."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:12:22 AM] GA: "ooh, are you both pining after thiago?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:12:42 AM] GT: "Because she's his matesprit and she nearly did the first time we shacked up."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:14:09 AM] GA: "by shacked up, you mean..."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:14:27 AM] GA: "why do you keep telling me about your sex life??"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:16:00 AM] GT: She goes bright fuschia. "DAD. NO."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:16:28 AM] GT: "We kissed, then cuddled, and that was IT."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:17:57 AM] GA: "alright, alright. so, basically, you need to get all four people to be okay with this. that thets sounds like the jealous, uptight type. it could work, though."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:18:42 AM] GA: "yknow, i was in a threesome once. lasted less than a week, and one of the members had all of her memories of romance taken away from her, but. it was cool."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:19:09 AM] GA: "then someone else came along who i loved more and i was like damn im outta here but then they betrayed me."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:19:31 AM] GT: "Wow."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:20:13 AM] GT: "Why do we always get the most fucked-up romance escapades?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:20:52 AM] GA: "mavico curse"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:21:28 AM] GT: "Clearly."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:22:23 AM] GT: "I don't think I'll risk it with Thetz, though. I don't wanna lose her as a friend."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:23:06 AM] GA: "nah, dont worry. i didnt lose my friendships with any of my friends who i dated, and i dated like most of my friends."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:23:58 AM] GA: "lessee, uh, there was seriad, ryspor, seriad and kate, ryspor again, then nate."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:24:16 AM] GT: "But I'm stealing her matesprit. It's a little different."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:24:23 AM] GA: "plus, unrequited crushes on... kikate, jossik, leon, and beau."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:24:44 AM] GA: "would she be up for a relationship that included the both of you?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[4:25:14 AM] GT: "It'd be weird as heck."
