 -- galliardTartarologist [GT] began pestering timidTheurge [TT] at 22:47 --

 [10:47] GT: Lily knocks on Miloko's door.

 [10:48] TT: the door opens, "yes?"

 [10:49] GT: Lily waves. "Hey."

 [10:49] GT: "Can I come in?"

 [10:49] TT: "oh s-sure?"

 [10:49] TT: "w-what's up?"

 [10:50] GT: She walks inside, and closes the door behind her, looking around furtively as she does so. "Have you talked to Kolena lately?"

 [10:51] TT: "no?"

 [10:52] GT: She frowns. "You're sure?"

 [10:52] GT: "You didn't...let anything slip?"

 [10:53] TT: "I'm f-fairly s-sure? s-seeing as I've n-never r-really t-talked to her?"

 [10:54] GT: "Hmmmmmmmm."

 [10:54] TT: "h-hmmmm?"

 [10:55] GT: "It's just that she was acting REALLY weird today. I started talking to her about Muses and then suddenly she just up and left, like I'd insulted her mom or something!"

 [10:55] GT: "So I was wondering if you had told her I was a Muse, was all."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:56] TT: "no? and f-frankly I'm h-hurt t-that you t-think I'd t-tell p-people w-without y-your p-permission?" Miloko pouts a little

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:57] GT: "Ah jeez, I'm sorry. I should've known better. I just...with all the shit that's gone down lately..." She sighs. "You can't be too careful, y'know? I didn't think you'd've done it on purpose, but..."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:58] TT: "it's o-okay, I f-forgive you?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:00] GT: She smiles. "Thanks." Then she frowns again. "So, if she doesn't know I'm a Muse, then why'd she react so weird?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:00] TT: "w-what did you say?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:02] GT: "Well, she started pressing me for info cause I let slip there were a bunch of Muses running around, and I told her as much as I felt comfortable with. Then she asked me...ooh, I remember this bit, she asked me if one of the Muses I knew the identity of was in the room, and - " She slaps her forehead. "God damn it."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:04] TT: "an o-oddly w-worded q-question? but n-nothing d-definite?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:04] GT: "No, but that was when she left the room. I said I might, and then she stormed off. Told me to 'be more discreet with the info in the future'."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:05] GT: "And since we were the only two people in the room, and she doesn't know I'm a Muse..."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:05] TT: "I d-don't k-know?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:06] TT: "I m-mean, u-unless s-someone e-else f-from t-this g-game c-cheated it's not v-very l-likely?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:07] GT: "Yeah, I guess you have a point. Do you think I should talk to her about it? Clear up the confusion a bit?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:07] GT: "Then again, she seemed pretty mad. Maybe you'd better."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:07] TT: "I g-guess I c-could?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:08] TT: "if she is t-though? s-should I t-tell her?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:09] GT: "Hmmm. She seemed to take the Master Classes pretty seriously. I think we can trust her not to spread it around."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:10] TT: "t-that's f-fair?" Miloko begins staring at her feet "I was t-thinking of t-telling e-everyone a-actually? a-about me?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:11] GT: "Whoa, what?" She frowns, concerned. "Are you sure? We already lost one Master Class because they weren't careful enough with their identity. Do you think it's worth the risk?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:11] GT: ((says lily, who's told like 8 people at this point))

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:13] TT: "I'm a M-Muse of R-Rage? me l-living is a r-risk? I t-think it's o-only f-fair t-that e-everyone g-gets a say in w-whether t-that r-risk is w-worth it?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:13] TT: "I d-didn't ask for t-this?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:14] GT: "I know. I'm sorry you got mixed up in all this."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:14] GT: "But...what if they decide it isn't?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:14] TT: "I w-won't f-fight?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:15] GT: "Well, FUCK that," she says fiercely. "I'LL fight."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:16] TT: "no, p-please d-don't?" Miloko's eyes begin to water "I d-don't w-want a-anyone to get h-hurt b-because of me?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:16] GT: "You said it yourself, you didn't ask for this! Anyone who thinks you deserve to die for something you never wanted in the first place is more of a threat than you are."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:17] GT: "And I've had it coming for a while now. Don't know how I've managed to survive this long with all the stupid shit I've done. What's one more thing?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:18] TT: "s-some men are b-born g-great? o-others h-have g-greatness t-thrust u-upon t-them?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:19] TT: "you can r-replace g-greatness w-with m-many t-things?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:19] TT: "and the s-statement w-will s-still be t-true?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:19] GT: She waggles her eyebrows. "Some girls are born hot, and other have hotness thrust upon them?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:21] TT: Miloko giggles "I g-guess t-that's t-true?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:22] GT: "But seriously." She looks down. "I don't want to lose you too."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:24] TT: "d-don't w-worry? w-whatever h-happens, h-happens?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:25] TT: "and I m-mean, it's not g-going to s-stay s-secret f-forever? e-especially s-since you a-already k-know?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:26] GT: "I guess, yeah, but I'm not gonna fucking kill you in your sleep, unlike SOME people I could name."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:27] TT: "c-chill? I was m-making a j-joke?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:28] GT: "Oh." Realization hits. "OI!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:28] GT: "OK, yeah, admittedly like 8 fucking people know I'm a Muse now, but I haven't told ANYONE about you!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:29] GT: "And it's not like I INTENTIONALLY do it, it just sort of...HAPPENS!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:30] TT: "I k-know? and I'm p-proud of you for k-keeping my s-secret?" Miloko kisses Lily on the cheek

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:31] GT: She blushes and returns the kiss. "Yeah, well. Can't let nobody mess with my kismesprit, right?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:42] TT: "why w-would you let p-people m-mess w-with me?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:42] GT: "Don't get grammar nut on me, bucko."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:44] GT: "You know what I mean."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:44] GT: "Can't let ANYBODY mess with my kismesprit."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:45] TT: "and t-that's why I l-love you?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:45] TT: "y-you're s-spirited, a-attractive, and e-easy to t-tease?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:47] GT: She pouts. "Your FACE is easy to tease."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:48] TT: "I h-happen to d-disagree?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:49] TT: "I g-guess w-we'll h-have to t-test w-witch one of us is r-right?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:49] GT: "Up for a vigorous bout of lipwrestling?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:52] TT: "I c-could s-squeeze it in b-before I t-talk to K-Kolena?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:55] GT: She grins, standing. "Then I say we thoroughly explore both sides of this debate."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:55] GT: "In as much detail as possible."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:56] TT: "yes? and w-would you be up to c-continue 't-testing' a-after I t-talk w-with her?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:57] GT: "Oh, absolutely. I think this argument won't be resolved for a good long while."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:58] TT: "t-then we s-should a-adjourn to the bed so you may g-give y-your o-opening r-remarks?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:00] GT: "I'll have to proofread it first, of course. Remove any...extraneous statements."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:02] TT: "s-sounds l-like a lot of w-work? p-perhaps we s-should b-begin say... now?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:04] GT: She grins. "That's the best idea you've had all night."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:04] GT: ((FAED 2 BLAPCK?))

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:05] TT: ((yes))

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:05] GT: ((upost))

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:05] TT: ((fine))

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:05] GT: ((ty bb))
