022014-KikateMeouet

 TC: Meouet is writing something in a small book, not noticing much around her.

 GT: { Kikate clears his throat softly, trying not to be too obnoXious. }

 TC: Meouet flips a page, and sees Kikate out of the corner of her eye. Unfortunately she's had a few too many encounters with everyone else... "What do you want, Jossi-... oh. Sorry."

 GT: { Kikate chuckles to himself at the thought of being confused with his moirail. "Heh, don't worry about it. Whatcha writing there, hmm?" }

 TC: "Just a checklist of things to do."

 GT: { "Ah, yes. I was going to talk to you about something along those lines, actually." }

 TC: "Great."

 GT: { "Normally I would tell Ryspor, but I haven't been able to find him. Has there been any insight into what eXactly his prophecy is for this land?" }

 TC: "I'm not sure of his assessment of it yet, though I've gathered a few of my own clues."

 GT: { "Care to share, hmm?" }

 TC: "I'm not aware of a White Queen, but Sotsias is. On that note, if you get with her, you'd possibly be sparing her an awful fate. She's pretty hurt."

 GT: { "Her fate? Do you mean the arranged marriage?" }

 TC: "Yes."

 GT: { "Yes, I was aware of that... It's not my intention to leave her to such a thing. My dream self, in fact, is arranged to marry Seriad on Prospit." }

 TC: "... Yeah, everyone seems to be getting into these strange outer-species relationships..."

 GT: { "One is enough for me, thanks." He sighs and leans against a wall. "Perhaps you think it reckless, but I put it upon myself to do everything within my power to bring my team to success. Normally I would get with Sotsias, she's definitely a capable ally and a good source of information. Not to mention a good person, hell, I could see myself being red for her." }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GT: { "But this time I can't do it, even for the team... I would just feel like I was betraying another, yeah?" }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "I suppose. At any rate, it's not a path we can pursue so... Alternatives must be discussed. This is the land of Little Waves and Tadpoles, no?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GT: { "Unless I'm severely misinformed, it is." }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "Have you seen either of these things?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GT: { "A few waves near the beginning, not a tadpole to be found." }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "... I had seen a tadpole."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GT: { "Really?" }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "Yes. Though I need to talk to Ryspor about it."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GT: { "I can relay something. Have to drawn any conclusions through it?" }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "Mostly that Sotsias is likely very important and we need to treat her better." She breaks eye contact.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GT: { "..." }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GT: { "What a situation..." }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "Have you any thoughts about what we're supposed to accomplish on this land?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GT: { "Well, there is something that's been on my mind. Earlier, the moment that I mentioned that Ryspor was a hero of space, there was instant recognition in Sotsias. The same way the consorts of my land would react to a hero of mind. And then, if you remember, Sotsias thought that we were going to kill Leon." }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "How fortunate of us to meet the Consort right from the start..."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GT: { "Indeed. A large part of the puzzle is the recepient of Leon's power, I would think." }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "So Seriad will be important..."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GT: { "I believe so." }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "... I can't think of anything else to discuss... We've come to similar conclusions. I hope they're right. <span style="color:rgb(85,85,0);">"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GT: { "Yes... I might talk to my current matesprite regarding the situation with Sotsias. The former is quite logically-minded, hopefully she'll understand if I need to maintain the illusion of a relationship with Sotsias in order for the mission to suceed." }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "I am certain creating the illusion of a relationship will not solve the problem."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "We need to find another candidate."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GT: { "When I say illusion I mean essentially becoming Sotsias's matesprite, though my heart would never be in it. Though if you really think it wouldn't work, what candidate would you suggest?" }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "I'm unaware of someone with a free Red quadrant."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GT: { "Hm. I don't think Vejant has anyone red for him at the moment... Maybe, assuming that Sotsias can fall for him." }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "Even if she can't... it may work..."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "I would like to ask her first."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> GT: { "I'll leave you to it. If she still only feels for me it is... negotiable, I suppose." }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "We'll see..."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> TC: "Perhaps you can talk Ryspor into a group meeting. I feel like it will benefit all of us."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"><span style="color:rgb(0,58,110);">GT: { "That's a good idea. I'll let him know if I get him before you do. Until neXt time, then." }

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