[03:14] -- arcaneArtisan [AA] began trolling conciseTactician [CT] at 03:14 --

[03:15] AA: Hi Balish.

[03:15] CT: HUMAN Sami.

[03:15] CT: What do you WANT.

[03:15] AA: TROLL Balish!

[03:15] AA: Well, I hate to keep bugging you about this, but have you had a chance to research anymore on that chucklevoodoo thing?

[03:16] CT: NO.

[03:16] AA: This sweater is really uncomfortable. :(

[03:16] CT: My MATERIAL is in my HIVE.

[03:16] AA: Oh.

[03:16] CT: And He's BEEN...

[03:16] CT: Is that ALL you want?

[03:16] AA: Well....that's not all I want, no.

[03:16] CT: Oh GOOD.

[03:16] CT: What NOW?

[03:17] AA: Well....I heard about what happened with Null.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:17] CT: Good for YOU.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:17] CT: You are at the level as EVERYONE ELSE.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:18] AA: Yes, yes, "Balish is unimpressed by my human concern," bluh.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:18] CT: No, I am UNINTERESTED in you MEDDLING in my QUADRANTS.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:18] AA: Huh?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:18] AA: Oh....you heard about that?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:18] CT: So POLITELY, stay OUT.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:19] AA: Look, I'm sorry! I was worried about you.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:19] CT: And NOT POLITELY, keep your NOSE out of OTHERS BUISNESS.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:19] AA: Okay, I know it wasn't any of my business. But you being okay IS my business. We're friends.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:19] AA: Plus, you're the one who was always telling me about how important it was to keep a Team Functioning Properly or whatever, right?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:20] CT: Yes AND? Your worry is of NO CONERN of MINE. Do you have ANY IDEA how much I need to TRUST that Maenam wasn't PUSHED INTO this relationship?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:20] AA: Oh, you know it was Maenam, too?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:21] AA: Okay, but look, I didn't push her at all. All I did was ask her how she felt about you and told her I thought you two would be cute together.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:21] AA: Which is true.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:21] CT: You MAY have INFLUENCED her.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:21] CT: It's an OPTION.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:23] AA: Well, maybe I influenced her into feeling more self assured about it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:23] AA: But I didn't plant the idea.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:23] CT: Sami, WHY did you DO it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:23] CT: I KNOW why.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:23] CT: I want to SEE you SAY it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:24] AA: Because I'm worried about what's going to happen to you if you lose control.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:24] AA: I mean I was worried even before I got in the same situation....but I mean now I've actually HAD teammates pointing guns at me over something else taking over my body.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:25] CT: You CALL me a friend yet cannot TRUST me enough to maintain CONTROL, so you TALKED to someone I was CLOSE TO, hurrying a RELATIONSHIP that could VERY WELL RESULT in her DEATH, to COLLAR me?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:25] CT: DO NOT compair ME to YOU.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:27] AA: It's not that I don't trust you, Balish! I just think everyone needs to have a shoulder they can cry on when things get too intense.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:27] AA: I mean I'm sure you COULD handle it without a friend like that....but I'm not sure you could handle it without hurting yourself on the inside somehow.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:28] CT: I CAN HANDLE IT.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:28] CT: I HAVE HANDLED it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:30] AA: Yeah, I know. But that doesn't mean you can handle it as well as you COULD be handling it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:30] CT: Sami you STILL don't GET it, this ISN'T some NEW THING, this is a BATTLE I've been FIGHTING all MY LIFE.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:31] AA: Yeah. I guess I'm starting to see that.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:31] CT: I can HANDLE it WITHOUT have a QUADRANT-MEDDLING GREYSLUT poking AROUND.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:31] AA: Wait, I thought I was a paleslut?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:31] AA: Now I'm a greyslut?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:31] CT: I-

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:31] CT: NEVERMIND that.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:31] AA: Okay, whatever.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:32] AA: But what, you're telling me I shouldn't be concerned about you just because you've been dealing with this forever?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:32] AA: We're teammates. And friends. How could I not be concerned for you?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:33] CT: BECAUSE I do NOT need to be CODDLED like some kind of WOUNDED MEOWBEAST.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:33] AA: Everyone needs to be coddled from time to time, Balish. I know you're strong, but people are at their strongest when they're allowed to NOT be strong from time to time.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:34] AA: No one can be strong all the time.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:34] CT: I NEED to BE, it's NOT an OPTION not to.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:35] AA: I'm just worried that if you never give yourself a break, you're going to break when you're not ready for it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:42] CT: You STILL don't UNDERSTAND.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:42] CT: I won't LET MYSELF break.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:42] CT: If I DO, then it ENDS.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:42] AA: I hope you're right Balish. I just want to help.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:42] CT: Don't.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:42] CT: Quadrants are NOT SOMETHING you can help with.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:43] AA: And I would've come right out and said it to your face, but I know you're shy about that sort of thing, so I figured it would be better not to embarrass you.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:43] CT: They are SOMETHING that NEED to HAPPEN, WITHOUT push.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:43] AA: I guess I can see that. I'm sorry then.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:43] AA: I didn't mean to cross a line.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:43] CT: EMBARASS me? You think THIS is BETTER? How would you have LIKED it if SOMEONE was breathing down Beau's neck to enter YOUR flushed relationship?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:44] CT: Could you EVER REALLY trust her?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:44] AA: Who, Beau? Of course I could.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:44] CT: HOW?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:44] AA: What do you mean? How would I not?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:44] CT: You're telling me there would be NO DOUBT that she is ONLY with you because of the PRESSURE?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:44] AA: Beau wouldn't betray me.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:45] CT: Or ONLY to PROTECT everyone ELSE, not for her OWN REASONS?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:45] CT: No doubt AT ALL?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:45] AA: Oh. I didn't know you meant like that.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:45] AA: ...I guess that would kind of suck, yeah.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:45] AA: I mean if she told me, I'd believe her.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:45] AA: But I guess I could see there maybe being a little doubt.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:47] CT: Now take THAT and put it with SOMEONE like ME.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:47] AA: Yeah. I guess you're slower to trust people than I am. :(

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:47] AA: I'm sorry, Balish. I guess I didn't think it through.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:48] CT: You're RIGHT, you didn't THINK.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:48] AA: Well, I'd say it won't happen again, but it's too late for that anyway I guess.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:49] CT: I'm GIVING Maenam a CHANCE, but I am UNSURE if I should offer YOU the same result.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:49] AA: You mean....you don't want to be my friend anymore? :(

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:49] CT: I don't KNOW.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:49] CT: This is HARDER for me OKAY?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:50] CT: Maenam's put at SERIOUS RISK in this ROLE.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:51] AA: I would've never told her to go for it if I didn't really believe in my heart that you'd both be happier for it. And if I didn't really believe that you were strong enough to keep her safe from the....other you.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:51] AA: But I understand why you're scared.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:51] AA: I would be too. In fact, I guess I *am* too. I know you said "Not to compare us," but it's not like I don't have to worry I'm going to hurt someone I care about eventually.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:52] AA: I even told Nate that if he has to shoot me to keep the others safe, I wouldn't blame him for it!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:52] AA: Even though I'm really scared to die. Especially if it meant I was forever stuck in Jack's gallery afterward.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:53] CT: What?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:53] CT: GALLERY?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:53] AA: That thing he's got on....I think Null called it LOWAD?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:53] AA: I guess that's where he put my dream body when he cut me open and time froze me.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:54] AA: Part of my almost took Null up on her offer when she offered to kill my dream body if she could find it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:54] AA: ...but I've got to hold out hope that some day we'll beat Jack and I can be healed. Or something like that.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:55] CT: I SEE.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:55] AA: Plus....I guess part of me thinks if I did that, it'd be like letting him win. I think he WANTS me to be so scared of sleeping I agree to have my dreamself killed.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:55] CT: You are CORRECT.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:55] CT: It's what I would WANT, at least.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:56] AA: You mean the OTHER you, right?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:56] AA: I mean this You isn't THAT mad at me, are you?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:56] CT: No...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:56] CT: Sami I'm...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:57] CT: Don't WORRY, my anger will FADE.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:57] AA: Okay. I'm glad to hear that. I'd like us to be friends again.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:58] CT: Yes.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:59] AA: I guess I'll give you your space then.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:59] CT: You're STRANGE in troll eyes, you KNOW that?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[03:59] AA: Hehehe. I guess that makes sense.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:00] AA: Trolls are strange in my eyes.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:00] CT: WEIRD.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:00] CT: We seem the BETTER of our two speices.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:01] AA: What, you mean trolls are better than humans?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:01] CT: CLEARLY.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:01] CT: Everything to PSYIOLOGY to CULTURE.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:01] AA: Hmm. See, from my perspective, I think being a troll must be really lonely. And scary.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:02] AA: Not as bad as being a twink though.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:02] CT: SERIOUSLY, though, pregnancy?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:02] CT: GROSS.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:04] AA: Oh, right....Null mentioned that you guys got to see that first hand. Hahaha!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:04] AA: Honestly, pregnancy is kind of gross to us, too. And scary, for us girls.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:05] AA: But....having a family is really nice. And babies are so adorable and fun to play with.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:05] CT: YES, nothing like the EFFICIENCY of a brood hatching or a tube birthing.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:05] AA: Even if they're a lot of work.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:05] CT: YOU think SO?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:05] CT: Huh, I'll KEEP you in mind then.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:05] AA: Huh? For what?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:06] CT: For a PROCESS which will put you in PROXIMITY with children

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:06] AA: I....don't know how to react to that. Where would you even find children? You mean like baby consorts?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:07] AA: (( Ack, Sami probably shouldn't know that terminology. Oh well. It's an obvious enough word I guess. ))

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:07] CT: I'll TELL you when it is MORE RELEVANT, allright? I'm NOT an ANSWER machiene.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:08] AA: Okay. Sorry. Here I was intending to give you space and I let my curiosity get the better of me.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:08] CT: No, NO, it's ALRIGHT, just SOMETHING I'm not SURE about anyways.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:08] CT: Okay.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:08] CT: I SHOULD provide an EXPLAINATION for my ACTIONS.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:08] AA: Oh, wow. Here I thought there wasn't much left in the game you WEREN'T sure of anymore.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:09] CT: You are INCORRECT, I do NOT pester Libby about such TRIVIAL concerns.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:10] CT: Not WHILE it is NOT CURRENTLY relevant.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:10] AA: Well yeah, but you're always in her library, and you always seem to know this stuff before the rest of us...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:10] AA: ...I don't know, I just figured you basically had a Strategy Guide tucked away in your back pocket or something.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:11] CT: Of COURSE not.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:11] CT: If I DID, you wouldn't be HAVING so much TROUBLE with that GEAR.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:12] AA: Oh, Libby helped me with that actually. We're going to get Beau and Nate to use Light and Hope on it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:12] AA: And....I guess hope we get lucky somehow.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:12] AA: I don't really know the details.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:12] CT: TELL them to GO with their GUT and feel the POWER themselves, it's NOT our PLACE.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:12] CT: Like HOW can you DESCRIBE feeling the AIR?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:13] CT: Or USHERING a BREEZE forth?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:13] CT: LET them do what they DO, they'll FIND OUT.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:13] AA: ...yeah, I guess you're right.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:15] CT: ALRIGHT, this is ENOUGH of THIS, I have MATTERS to attent to CONCERNING another, LESS PLEASANT witch.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:15] CT: Have you SPOKEN your PEICE?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:15] AA: Huh? Maenam's totally pleasant!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:15] CT: Scarlet, Sami, I am SPEAKING to her.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:15] AA: Oh! Sorry.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:16] AA: Yeah, I've spoken my piece. I'll get out of your hair.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:16] AA: I'm sorry again, Balish.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:17] CT: WHATEVER.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:18] CT: Good BYE, Sami. TRY not to DIE before the NEXT time you MESS SOMETHING up.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:19] AA: Nah, at this rate it'll probably be immediately afterward. :)

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[04:19] AA: Good bye, Balish.
