 GA: hey! meouet

 GA: met your kid kolena! shes nice!

 TC: Doir. Ah yes. So far she is quiṭe a ṭreaṭ.

 GA: yeah! she reminded me about how mature you are, and responsible, and uh

 GA: well now ive got a team to take care of, think you could give me a few pointers?

 TC: Learn their personality types.

 TC: Assess upcoming risks based on their intelligence versus impulsiveness.

 GA: eesh, theyre pretty impulsive

 GA: two of them are half me :/

 TC: Rather than asserting authority, earn respect by - oh dear.

 GA: wait how do i earn their respect

 TC: making decisions that benefit the team. If the team doesn't understand in the short-term, explain during a safe time so they will.

 TC: If they still don't... well... Nothing can really be done to educate fools until they educate themselves.

 TC: Some people must learn the hard way.

 GA: okay!... got any tips on critical thinking and decision making?

 TC: I feel your offspring may be of that persuasion.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: yeahhh

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: for some reason all of the kids really want to make deals with jack.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: not just mine. like, even kolena.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Is that so...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: think i talked her out of it, but damn, the speed at which people will propel themselves into deals with devils is astounding

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Certainly, they can be warned against it. I'm sure I can get godOS to provide us with some footage of the demise of say... Jossik. Perhaps Tlaloc as well.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: To show what happens to those who makes deals with Jack.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: make*

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: ooh, you have contact with godos? ooooh, we can see how tlaloc died?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: heheh, i bet he died in a real stupid way

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: rip in peace

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: I'll need the Oracle's permission.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: In fact, I need to speak with her soon...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: I have a package for her.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: well, traumatizing the kids with videos of their alternate universe parents dying probably isnt needed *yet*

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: ooh, i heard about that

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: no mail guy any more?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: This is something personal.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: where is mail guy anyway

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: i liked him, he was funny

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: I believe the mail duties have been taken over by the Postal Princess in his absence.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: maenam?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: I am unsure.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: yeah maenams pretty busy over here trying to hatemack me

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: smh i thought wed leave the romance to the kiddies now

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: I hear it can be a very satisfying quadrant.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: human tho

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Though I'm not sure your upbringing and genetic code will -yes. that's where I was going with that.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: eh, it might happen

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: any ship with me has like a 50% chance of sailing

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: i mean remember that time it turns out i retroactively had a ship with jack? like damn

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Of course. With a friend like Ryspor and his shipping skill, how could you not have success?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: where is that guy anyway

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: He is with us.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: yeah but everyone says he went off on some journey

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: after stealing something? wtf ryspor

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: This is also true.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: its worryin cause jack is about and last time people went missing they died

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: It was very uncharacteristic of him. I want to say he was at least a bit more cautious than that.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: nah

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: that sounds about like ryspor

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: To be honest, I've lost a bit of touch what with the seclusion of those last few years.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: yeah, havent seen ya in a while! though maybe thats cause ive been a bit of a dick. sorry.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: We're all still growing up.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: tru

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Ryspor especially. I hear the maturity level for the higher bloods takes a bit more time to reach.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: eheheh

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: He'll return once he completes his task.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: what a silly goose. im gonna have to chastise him so hard for breaking the law

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: hows your world so far? besides being really easy to steal from?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: It makes me a little homesick.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: oh?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Pellok and I were in a village that had the same feeling as this place.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: ah

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Still...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: The kids won't really respect the locals.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: thats a shame

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Since the whole point is for them to learn and grow, I can't just give them the answer...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: I'm a little upset they chose the frog breeding planet first.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: im nodding sagely as we speak

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: hm, too tough for them?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Considering they've nearly killed the key once... yes.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: jeez!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: well, i suppose they say the best way to learn how to swim is to throw someone into the water

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: though that does sound like a lot of people would drown

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: I'm being a little subversive and allowing them to think they've messed up.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: smart! then they'll be more careful in the future!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: heheh, im gonna have to steal that trick

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Well, perhaps. They may give up.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: It's a fine line.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: not really sure its possible to give up here

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Sure you can.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: im sure theyll learn! eventually.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Everyone can give up.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: well, yeah, you *can* give up, but like, we've come so far already!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: whos givin up now? losers, thats who!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: We inch closer and closer to it every second without even realizing it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: ...also true.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: In fact...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: isn't our goal to give up?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: We want to stop playing the game, don't we?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: well, yeah, but not by giving up, by winning

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: i think

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: uh, what happens when we win? do we just die?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Your perspective is wrong. :)

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: is winning to give up?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Depends on how you win.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: we win by uh...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: creating a new universe?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: and then in that universe, they play the game. which null said jack was really against for some reason.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Hm.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: I wonder about that.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: which was why he was trying to kill us? but jack might have just been pulling her leg, as he did later kill her.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Indeed, something to ponder.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: him being back is probably the worst thing ever

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: any ideas on how? like. wtf.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: or why? i can see the appeal of being alive again, but i though everyone had just accepted he was a changed man or whatever.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: everyone but me, of course. i saw this coming.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Some fool probably developed a soft spot for him. Something about a tragic backstory and unfulfilled potential.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: yeah thats usually how stuff happens around here

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: I wonder what Beau knows about it?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Certainly HE's got to know something.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: if he knew he'd come straight to... unless he was the one who did it...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Weren't they trapped together?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: I wonder if Beau can leave now, too...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: but beau is... like, come on, he wouldnt

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: shit

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: it was totally fuckin beau wasnt it

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: HE's not our beau...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: we appointed him as the overseer too

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: we've had the kids telling him everything

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: ...nah, beau definitely wouldnt let jack back alive just because of some silly empathy?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Don't you humans have that belief system where you forgive and forget?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: And something about turning your mouth-pouches.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: okay no

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: im not accepting that beau did this

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: you can confront him if you want, but i am tired of making people cry for stupid reasons. beau would *never* do that.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: I don't need to confront anyone.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: he knows how evil jack is, and he knows we would never forgive him for doing such a thing and getting the REST of us killed.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: I'm not saying HE did or didn't.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: It's just curious to note, is all.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: what, are you saying i did?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: damn, the evidence does point to me

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Who else would have freed him?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: previous lover, hacker, uh, just pointed out jack's not-too-evil motive

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: and if i did free him, jack could just steal my time and i wouldnt even know

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: wait shit

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Oh, was it you?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: i dUNNO MAN

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: YOURE FREAKIN ME OUT

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Doir, I expected some growth in those 5 sweeps.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: I THOUGHT I DID GROW

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: For shame.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: FUCK

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: I have accepted my inevitable heroic death, however.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: I won't blame you too much.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: HOW DO I UNDO THIS

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: You may want to talk to Seriad about that. I think her team has the two new Time players on it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: nah, wait

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: im way too traumatized by jack and far too genre savvy to ever do such a thing

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: How will you ever be able to go back in time and stop yourself, though?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Perhaps ask Kate.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: no wait it couldnt have been me

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: remember im shit at hacking

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: and i *did* grow!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Ah, you know who it could be?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: who?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: I wonder if Sami was behind it? After all, I think she'd like to get revenge on him truthfully for killing her Beau.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: okay no i think shes more emotionally stable than that

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: What are you thinking, then?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: are you just messing with me to see who ill believe did it?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: We are trading real theories here, Doir.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: You've been in my undergarments, albiet for devious reasons with another human. I think there is a certain level of intimacy we can share.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: im really not sure if youre joking here

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: people dont... 'intimacy' with me

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: That syntax was horrid.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: yeah i know

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: i actually was at the top of my class in english

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: i just choose not to use it

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: with great power comes great responsibility

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Which you shirk, like the chores one's lusus assigns.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: Ah. I should probably go.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GA: pfft i did all my chores

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"><span style="color:rgb(0,150,0);">GA: okay! see ya later alligator!
