 [09:52] GT: Lily is on her way to Vyllen's room to find Doir.

 [09:52] GA: Dina's walking fast, faces pass, she's maenambound.

 [09:54] GT: And you know Lily'd walk a thousand miles if she could just see you.

 [09:55] GT: Which she does, at the end of the hallway.

 [09:55] GT: She waves. "Dad! Hey! Perfect timing!"

 [09:55] GA: She continues towards Lily, who is unfortunately in the way to her destination. "yo wassup lils"

 [09:57] GT: "So, I was thinking, and I realized that it's pretty likely I'm gonna die doing my whole revolution thing." She shrugs. "It's sad, but it's the truth. So I was thinking about backup plans and stuff, and I thought, hey, wouldn't it be cool if I could mae some kinda brain ghost of myself and preserve it somewhere?"

 [09:57] GT: "So I was gonna ask you if you had any idea how to do that."

 [09:57] GA: "well, i dont think a brain ghost works if your mind is dead."

 [09:58] GA: "but honestly, im not sure if a seer could do that nor do i actually know how to do it. it was just one of the like two powers i got when i god tiered."

 [09:58] GT: "No, I don't mean your mind ghost thing. I mean like, an imprint of my consciousness. Sort of a hard drive backup kind of thing."

 [10:00] GA: "...uh, i dunno, you can try?"

 [10:00] GA: "why are you still doing the revolution if you know youll get killed for it anyway?"

 [10:01] GT: "Because SOMEONE has to. The way I see it, either I'm going to overthrow Sami, or I'm going to die doing it and become a martyr people can rally around. Either way, I'm making a difference."

 [10:01] GA: "samis not even trying to be in charge any more"

 [10:02] GT: "Heh. Good joke. You saw the memo. You know what she's trying to do. Maybe you can't admit that to yourself, because you still see the old Sami in her, like I did. But the old Sami's gone, and we have to face that."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:02] GA: "what? but we just met an alternate sami on derse like a little while ago"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:03] GA: "samis getting me to check out her brizzains to see if its some kind of latent evil spirit or something within her"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:03] GT: "Yeah, but she's a future version of Sami, and probably just there to cover for her past self."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:03] GA: "thats not even how time travel works here"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:03] GT: "Well, that's what Libby said, and she's not usually wrong."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:03] GA: "are... you sure?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:04] GT: "Yup."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:04] GT: "It'd explain the two Samis thing, too. Set up future her as a scapegoat so she can win back our trust."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:05] GA: Dina looks frustrated. "she didnt need to win back my trust, i already trusted her!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:06] GA: "ive been doing this whole THING, yknow? like, being loyal, and moral, and at least somewhat justicey and she's just gonna go off the deep end?!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:06] GA: "is there any way to prevent it, back to the future style?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:06] GT: She shrugs. "Dunno. I think the best thing we can hope for is defeat future her and then keep a reeeeeal close eye on past her."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:07] GA: "what if doing that is what leads to the future her we see now?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:07] GT: "I'm not a Time player, man. Paradoxes make my brain hurt." She grins. "Luckily, I've got one on my side."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:08] GA: "are you siding with jack again because i sweat to christ lily"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:08] GA: *swEAR

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:08] GT: "No, jeez. I mean Kate."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:08] GT: ((SWEAT TO CHRIST AND YOUR SINS SHALL BE FORGIVEN))

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:08] GA: "oh. wait, what? whys she against sami?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:08] GT: "They killed her moirail. You tell me."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:09] GA: "but we didnt kill him! he was already dead, or something."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:09] GT: "The message said Sami Heston did it. That's kind of incontrovertible evidence."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:09] GA: "i was right there!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:10] GA: "theres no way she could have done that! at least, not past her!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:10] GA: "or... present her?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:10] GT: "Again, two Samis. Future her could've easily done it, giving past her a perfect alibi."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:11] GA: "she would never, ever kill ryspor though!!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:11] GT: "Can you really say that? After she killed Thiago because he MIGHT have become dangerous?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:12] GT: "Maybe she thought Ryspor would just be a liability. Go insane and become a PKer or something."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:12] GA: "but libby was totally for it too!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:12] GT: Her face hardens. "No. She wasn't."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:13] GT: "She said that if Thiago kept doing what he was doing, she might have to step in and take permanent action."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:13] GT: "Sami just took that and used it as an excuse to take him out."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:14] GA: "ryspor wasnt doing anything bad though! he was just hurt and confused and sami was worried when he suddenly started dying!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:15] GT: "And she successfully lied to everyone's faces about killing Thiago for days."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:16] GA: "because she was ashamed of it and would have broken down if everyone turned on her because she needs her friends so much."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:17] GT: "For protection, sure. Nothing more valuable than a loyal cadre of elite fighters that will work tirelessly to maintain her health and public image."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:18] GA: "no!! moral support! she's just a broken pollyanna!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:19] GT: "Exactly. She's broken." Lily crosses her arms. "And when people break, they get dangerous."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:19] GT: "I'm not saying she started out like this. But I do think this is what she is now, or what she's on the road to becoming."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:20] GA: Dina's crying now. Good job Lily. "you dont know any of that for sure!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:22] GT: Lily frowns sadly, and wraps him up in a hug. "I know. It's hard. She was like a mom to me. I don't wanna believe this stuff either."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:22] GA: "why do all of my friends have to go evil T_T"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:23] GT: "I dunno, man. I dunno."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:24] GA: "i have to go help them sedate maenam. she went tyrian crazy. what if they kill her too??"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:24] GT: "Yoooo, what. Dude, holy shit. Maenam?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:24] GT: "MAENAM?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:25] GA: "she snapped! got pissed at sami for her whatever leader thing she was doing!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:25] GT: "Shit." She lets go. "Let me come with you."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:25] GA: "nooo, the other vets are gonna be there and they'll murder both of us."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:26] GT: "Not if we don't let on. Look, just say you ran into me and talked me out of my stupid, and then told me about Maenam. Sami'll let me help, I'm a Muse."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:27] GA: "noooo... what?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:28] GT: She tilts her head. "What?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:28] GA: "the fuck is a muse"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:28] GT: She blinks, very, very slowly.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:29] GT: "You...seriously don't know."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:29] GA: "am i supposed to?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:30] GT: "..." Lily runs a hand down her face. "OK. So."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:30] GT: "You know how Thiago was a Lord."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:30] GT: "I HOPE you know how Thiago was a Lord."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:30] GT: "No pun intended."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:30] GA: "yes. i knew that."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:31] GT: "OK. Good. So, Muses are the female counterparts of Lords."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:31] GA: "ohhh... ooooooh. so thats what you did with your shenanicite?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:31] GT: "Thiago and I rose together. Except we kind of didn't, because we didn't realize the game auto-balanced itself and how there's another Lord and Muse running around but details."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:32] GA: "wait, what? i know about rilset... who are the others?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:32] GT: "Not telling. They need their privacy."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:32] GA: "dooessss sami know?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:33] GT: "Mmmmaybe?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:33] GT: "Not sure, actually."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:35] GA: "alright... but i dont know what to do now. should i be sticking by the vets?? theyre so gonna hate me for talking to you."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:36] GA: "well, sami said she wouldnt hate me if i changed sides. but i bet she'd be really sad. and if shes not evil yet then itll be genuine sadness."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:37] GA: "if i betray her for what she might become, am i not going down a similar path?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:39] GT: "Not if it means you live to see another day. Look, just stay with them for now. Try not to act suspicious. And..." She looks around, then whispers in his ear. "I'm gonna be hosting a meeting pretty soon in my room. Come down if you can make it. We could use a double agent."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:40] GA: "i dont want to be a double agent! and, seriously? wasnt her whole point that everyone would live to see another day?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:41] GT: "Then don't come, fine. Stay with your precious vets who are probably insane and definitely murderous."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:42] GA: "no! i dont want to lose my friends..."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:42] GA: "why do you have to do this? why cant you just work together??"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:42] GT: "Because they're trying to KILL US!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:43] GA: "but if we dont work together they *will* kill us!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:45] GT: "Not if we take them out first."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:45] GT: "I don't want to kill anyone. That means I'm like them. But I'm not letting them pull this shit."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:46] GA: "holy crap, that is literally exactly the same thing as theyre doing! they're taking out people first before they can cause too much damage!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:46] GT: "OK, great, except so far that hasn't been going so well, has it?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:47] GT: "100% mortality rate so far."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:48] GA: "*im* gonna snap with all of this moral dilemma shit! theyre willing to work together and not kill anyone else if you want to work together and make sure nobody does stupid shit!! i swear, you guys are being stupider than people in tv shows with situations half as serious and important to not be stupid in as this one!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:49] GA: "it would work out if you all just stopped working against one another!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:52] GT: "Great! Let's sit down and chat about our mutual differences over a spot of tea!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:52] GA: "yeah basically!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:53] GA: "thats how wars end peacefully without one side being totally destroyed!!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:54] GT: "Fine." She throws up her hands. "FINE! Take me to her! Let's fucking TALK THINGS OUT!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:57] GA: Dina's still crying. "im sorry, i know its a stupid idea but its my *best freaking try* so please at least give it your best shot too?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:58] GT: Lily starts breaking down too. "I know! I know I should just talk with her but SHE KILLED MY MOIRAIL FOR NOTHING!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:58] GT: "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FORGIVE HER? HOW DO I KNOW SHE WON'T DO IT AGAIN?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:59] GT: "I CAN'T! AND I DON'T!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:59] GA: "and she maybe killed my best friend of all time! but i have to forgive her, because if i dont then ill just lose more friends!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:00] GT: "Fine. I don't...fine. Let's go talk or some shit. Magically end this bullshit and dance off into the sunset."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:01] GT: "You had better not make me fucking regret this."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:02] GA: "i cant promise that at all! the only thing i can promise is if i end up being told to kill someone because this doesnt work out, im fucking straight off to the dreambubbles too!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:03] GA: "lets go!" Dina marches off.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:03] GT: Lily begrudgingly walks off after her.
