<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:22] GT: ~"I knew I wovld be teʃted, bvt keeping her location ʃecret for 2 yearʃ waʃ...not an eaʃy taʃk."~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:23] GA: "yeah i was wondering where she was but i assumed she either died or skipped town or something and stopped caring about three seconds after thinking it"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:23] GA: "you guys are such drama queens seriously whyd she even do that"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:27] GT: ~"I agree that it waʃ not the beʃt method of handling it, bvt once ʃhe getʃ her mind arovnd an idea, ʃhe iʃ not eaʃily diʃʃvaded from it. All I covld do waʃ make ʃvre ʃhe did not cvt herʃelf off completely from ʃociety."~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:37] GA: "either way, youve made tons more stupid decisions, and you're actually trying not to."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:42] GT: ~"My thankʃ for yovr vnending ʃvpport," he ʃayʃ flatly.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:42] GA: "i tell it like it is. and how it is, is that you are one stupid motherfucker, dude."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:43] GA: "i mean, dont get me wrong; i do stupid things too. its just that im doing them because i just dont give a shit if i die or fall into eternal suffering or anything like that. you genuinely need to work on your common sense."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:44] GA: "otherwise when we get to the new session youre just going to die in the first five minutes."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:44] GT: ~"Dvly noted. Are we qvite finiʃhed here? Or are there more thingʃ yov'd like to rvb in my face to better illvʃtrate my general failingʃ aʃ a perʃon?"~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:44] GA: Dina slowly paps his face.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:45] GA: "simbaaaaa."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:45] GT: ~"I think yov'd make...actvally a rather excellent Rafiki, bvt that'ʃ beʃide the point." He grabʃ Dina'ʃ hand and pvllʃ it off hiʃ face.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:46] GA: She takes her other arm and rubs that one on his face. "siiiiiiiiiimbaaaaaaa."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:47] GA: She leans her whole face forward and just rubs her head against his. "simmmmmmmmbaaaaaaa."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:47] GT: ~He pvʃheʃ her away. "ʃTOP."~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:47] GA: "simba noooo."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:48] GA: Dina dramatically collapses on the floor.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:49] GT: ~Ryʃpor rollʃ hiʃ eyeʃ and tvrnʃ to walk away.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:49] GA: She gets back up. "look, ryspor, you *died* the other day. im worried about you, and i dont want you dying again."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:52] GT: ~He pavʃeʃ, and tvrnʃ back, ʃighing. "Inʃvlting my intelligence iʃ likely not the way to go abovt preventing that."~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:53] GA: "i dunno. everyone insults mine, and at least i always know when im being stupid now."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:53] GA: "i already always knew, but now i always know harder. maybe it could work on others."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:57] GA: "and i was insulting your wis, not your int, dumbass."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [09:59] GT: ~He rollʃ hiʃ eyeʃ. "Not everyone ʃeeʃ the world aʃ yov do, Dina. I think yov perhapʃ need to vnderʃtand that a bit better ʃometimeʃ." He ʃighʃ. "I appreciate yovr concern, and I know yov have the beʃt intentionʃ at heart, bvt...ʃometimeʃ yov make it very hard to be yovr friend."~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:00] GA: "i know exactly how everyone else sees everything, and i know i make it hard. i dont care, dude."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:01] GT: ~"Then yov will continve to drive away yovr friendʃ, aʃ yov have already done with ʃami." He ʃhrvgʃ. "If thiʃ iʃ what yov want, then ʃo be it."~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:02] GA: "its not what i want, its just how it is. sure, im inconsistant, slightly sociopathic, hidden beneath like four levels of mask, and just generally an asshole, but i do like you guys, and im trying to stay friends here despite how terrible i am."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:02] GA: "but i cant just give up all of my mannerisms to be more likable."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:03] GT: ~"I vnderʃtand that. Bvt attempting to meet otherʃ halfway doeʃ not reqvire changing yovr entire perʃona."~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:04] GA: "nonsense, that breaks down everything i am and strive to be." Dina shifts into a more heroic pose. "my lifestyle is about the nonsensical, the insane, and the inconsistant. its about embracing- LIVING insanity so deeply, that the world itself has forgotten im insane!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:05] GA: "meeting you halfway would be just like meeting you fullways, so i meet you nowhere!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:05] GA: "youll never meet me! none of you will!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:06] GA: "WE HAVE NO MEETINGS HERE."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:07] GA: "youre so mean."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:11] GA: "IF YOU WALK AWAY NOW, RYSPOR, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:11] GT: ~"That we will no longer be friendʃ, I'm aʃʃvming?"~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:11] GA: "PROBABLY."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:12] GA: "AND IF YOU LEAVE ME NOW, I'LL ONLY HAVE LIKE TWO BEST FRIENDS LEFT. BEAU AND NATE."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:12] GA: "AND THIS IS A CLEAR DOWNWARD TREND. NEXT IT'LL BE BEAU. AND THEN NATE. OR MAYBE IN A DIFFERENT ORDER IDK."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:12] GT: ~"Perhapʃ that'ʃ the jolt yov need to get a blaʃted grip on yovrʃelf and realize the extent of yovr hypocriʃy when yov ʃay I lack common ʃenʃe." Hiʃ gaze hardenʃ. "My Lore may be +2, Dina, bvt at leaʃt my Empathy iʃ +4."~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:13] GA: "I CAN FEEL MY VILLAIN FLAG BEING RAISED, RYSPOR."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:13] GA: "JACK IS LIKE, NOT THAT FAR AWAY."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:14] GA: She dramatically Ace-Ventura points and Ryspor. "ARE YOU GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN, RYSPOR?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:15] GT: ~"PERHAPʃ I ʃHALL," he yellʃ. "PERHAPʃ I ʃHALL, AND WATCH YOV BVRN THIʃ ARK TO THE GROVND, BECAVʃE IT WILL BE EAʃIER THAN HAVING TO DEAL WITH THIʃ, WITH...*YOV* ALL THE TIME."~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:16] GA: "I THOUGHT WHAT WE HAD WAS SPECIAL."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:16] GA: "BEST. FRIENDS. FOREVER."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:17] GA: Dina starts tearing up, and rips off her friend bracelet, throwing it on the ground. "IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:18] GT: ~"I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T KNOW IF YOV'RE EVEN TRVLY HVRT! THIʃ COVLD BE ANOTHER GODDAMN ACT FOR YOVR PRECIOVʃ *AVDIENCE*!"~
