[04:48] -- chessAficionado [CA] began pestering arcaneArtisan [AA] at 04:48 --

[04:48] CA: Hey Sami uh...

[04:48] CA: I think you should rethink this Tlaloc plan...

[04:49] AA: Yeah, that's what Null said, too.

[04:49] AA: Why, what's up?

[04:50] -- chessAficionado [CA] shows sami the recent Beau/Tlaloc log --

[04:50] CA: This...

[04:50] CA: I zoomed it in so you could read it evem...

[04:51] AA: Hehe. Thanks.

[04:54] AA: Oh wow.

[04:54] AA: Man....I knew he had it bad, but I didn't know it was this bad.

[04:54] AA: I feel so bad for him! He's clearly got a lot he needs to work through. :(

[04:55] AA: No wonder you got so angry at him though.

[04:56] CA: I'm going to try keeping an even, icy demeanor around him, see if showing no emotion around him weakens his lust...

[04:57] AA: Maybe HE needs one of those monorail dealies, too.

[04:58] AA: I've....been talking to some of the trolls. I was actually just talking to Null a little while ago about how bad Balish needs a monorail.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:59] CA: monorail? Do you mean moirail?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:59] CA: He already has one...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:59] AA: Yeah, okay, that looks more like what they were saying.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:59] AA: Oh, he does? I thought they were supposed to help trolls through their Problems.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:59] CA: Tlaloc I mean...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:00] AA: This certainly seems like a Problem!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:00] CA: I should probably tell him about it...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:01] CA: So, any news in Sami land?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:01] AA: Kinda. Like I said, I've been trying to figure out how this "moirail" business works, because I'm worried about Balish.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:02] AA: He really needs to talk to someone. :(

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:02] CA: hmm? from what happened at the christmas thing?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:02] AA: Yeah, but not just that I think.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:03] AA: He's gotten extra paranoid about Libby, too. And to be fair, from talking to Kate it sounds like maybe Libby really IS in more danger than before...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:03] CA: oh?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:03] AA: ...but still, I think it's got him all wound up inside. And I can tell she's feeling really lonely, too.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:04] CA: Yeah...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:04] CA: promise me if I land in that situation, you wouldn't leave me to my lonesome...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:04] AA: Heh. You have to promise me the same thing.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:05] CA: It's a deal...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:05] AA: Like I was telling Balish, if I had to choose between being lonely and safe, and being in danger with the people I care about, I'd choose danger every time.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:06] AA: You know Katie's going to have to leave the team soon, right?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:07] CA: Hmm?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:07] CA: Well she didn't see it fit to inform me it seems...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:07] AA: Some sort of message from the future, and something about doomed timelines, and also that thing the Big Naked Guy said. Katie's got to go with the trolls.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:07] CA: I suppose it's for the best then...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:08] AA: Yeah. I'll miss her, but she should be safe with the trolls.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:08] CA: And hey, she isn't leaving right now right? We'll get our goodbyes...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:08] AA: No, we get a little while yet. I don't think she can go until she's got that big wooden gear thingy, anyway.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:10] CA: Ugh, it had to be stolen by crowtantulas, couldn't have been plush animals?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:10] AA: Hehehe. I don't think Katie would have much time for plush animals.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:10] CA: Hmm I suppose, but still I worry...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:10] AA: I'll bet when she was little she tore them apart and stitched them back together again with different parts.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:11] -- chessAficionado [CA] eyes Sami's once broken leg --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:11] AA: What's wrong?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:11] CA: Oh! Nothing, just... wandering thoughts...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:12] AA: Heh. Know what that's like.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:12] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] stares off into the distance, resting her head on Beau's shoulder. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:12] CA: Tell me Sami, what was it like at Libby's...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:13] AA: Hmm. Not a whole lot to tell really. It was basically a giant library. It was just me and Libby....well, I guess Balish was there a lot, too.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:13] AA: Hehe. I guess now I realize it should've been obvious, but I didn't realize they were dating when I was there.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:14] CA: Really? I'd thought everyone knew by then...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:14] AA: I think I'm going to blame it on my eyesight.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:15] AA: I figure that excuse will get me by a little longer.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:15] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] grins as though she's getting away with something WICKED. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:15] CA: I'll get you glasses yet...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:16] AA: Heh. Doir said he could send the code for his glasses. But the prescription probably wouldn't be right.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:17] CA: Perhaps mixing it with your sheet?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:17] AA: I thought about that too, actually!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:17] AA: It made that little voodoo doll work. So I guess it put something of "me" into the voodoo doll.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:17] CA: My lessons get you cleverer each day...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:17] AA: Hehehe.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:18] CA: Like your soooouuul *evil finger waggle*...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:18] AA: Noooooooo~!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:19] CA: So you talk to anyone else about anything interesting?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:20] AA: I dunno. Anything on YOUR mind?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:21] CA: Well, Jossik and Ryspor broke up and they're having their fun little merry-go-round of blame and apologies...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:22] AA: I didn't even know they were dating. I guess the only trolls I talk to much are Balish and Null.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:22] AA: I think I made friends with Maenam, but we've only talked the once, still.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:23] AA: It's too bad they broke up though. Are they okay?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:23] CA: Mmm I guess I speak to quite a few of them...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:23] AA: Oh? Making plans, or just making friends?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:24] CA: Kind of both I guess...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:24] AA: Hehe. That sounds like you.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:24] CA: Oh, I found out that my aspect "light" represents luck, which is kind of funny...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:25] CA: Seeing as how luck isn't something I fully believe, just probability...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:25] AA: Wow, that's pretty cool! Too bad the lottery's gone or you could probably cheat your way to millions!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:25] AA: But then again, I guess that wouldn't really make much of a difference to you, would it?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:26] CA: Oh, but then I could take you on a 5 star cruise all expenses paid!...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:27] AA: Oh, you. =P

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:28] AA: So you're the Heir of Light, right? So what does that mean, you inherit luck or something?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:28] CA: Apparantly the heir is someone who starts out weak in their aspect, then over time becomes strong...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:28] AA: Oh. So you start out unlucky, and get lucky later?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:29] CA: Well like I said, I don't really believe in luck, so perhaps over time I come to embrace the idea of luck?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:29] CA: Who knows...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:29] CA: Any idea what witch of breath means?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:30] AA: I think it means I get to wear this nice hat and make the wind blow.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:30] CA: Well you did that thing when people were coughing up smoke...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:31] AA: Yeah. Some kind of windy thing. I tried to do it when we were fighting Troll Santa, too, and I think I pulled it off....but I don't think it made much of a difference.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:32] CA: It ended up all good right?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:32] CA: We even got these sweet instruments...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:32] CA: Shame I have no idea how to play...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:33] AA: Well there's no time like now to practice!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:33] -- chessAficionado [CA] deploys the harp and strums a few notes --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:33] CA: nope still no idea...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:34] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] pulls out her piccolo and makes a few rough tweets. It squeaks a few times and hits a few sour notes, but it is recognizably "Three Blind Mice." --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:35] CA: Is it possible you're the fourth blind mouse :o ...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:35] AA: Hey!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:35] CA: Ah I'm sorry that was rude...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:36] AA: Yes, it was VERY rude.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:37] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] is smiling though, and clearly isn't at all upset. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:37] CA: I know something ruder...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:37] AA: I'm VERY sensitive about my wimpy eyes.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:37] -- chessAficionado [CA] leans in and kisses Sami --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:38] CA: See? Doesn't make the mouse comment so bad by comparison...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:38] AA: So rude!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:38] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] is still smiling. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:39] CA: *Beau stifles a laugh* yeah ok...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:40] -- arcaneArtisan's [AA'S] smile fades a bit, as her face changes to "thoughtful." --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:41] CA: What're you thinking about?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:41] AA: Hey Beau....would you be upset or jealous or anything if I offered to be Balish's Moirail-thingy?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:41] AA: I mean I don't know if I'm going to yet. I don't know if I COULD yet.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:41] CA: What?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:41] AA: But he really needs someone.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:41] CA: Why would I?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:41] AA: And I was told it was most emphatically NOT a kissing thing.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:41] AA: I don't know. I think the trolls think of it as romance.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:41] AA: Even though I don't get that part.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:42] CA: You most certainly have my blessing, but you have to save the kisses for me...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:42] AA: Deal.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:43] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] is the one who leans in for the kiss this time. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:43] CA: Someone's a fast learner...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:44] AA: Hehehe.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:44] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] is blushing a little, but it's faint. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:45] CA: Aw, I almost miss the way you turned beet red...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:46] AA: I'm sorry! I guess I'm just getting used to this sort of stuff.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:48] CA: Heh, it's fine, no need to apologize...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:52] CA: Anyway, let's not hold up the group with our kisses...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:52] AA: Oh, wow, yeah!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:52] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] does blush more this time. --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:52] AA: Let's go.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:52] CA: And we can't fall behind, Nate will get mad again...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:53] AA: Hehe. He totally would.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:53] CA: Right behind you...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[05:53] -- chessAficionado [CA] ceased pestering arcaneArtisan [AA] at 05:53 --
