[09:18] GT: Where are you.

[09:18] CA: I am in the queen's room...

[09:20] GT: On my way.

[09:20] GT: --

[09:21] GT: Lily arrives. She looks very, very haggard.

[09:22] CA: Beau is in the process of flipping a handful of coins. They sparkle in the air and all land heads up. He raises his head up when he sees that Lily has arrived....

[09:23] GT: "Did you know," she says.

[09:23] CA: "Hello Lily, are you feeling alright?"...

[09:23] CA: "I know lots of things, because I am a light player. Please be more specific"...

[09:23] GT: "Did you know," she says slowly, "about Thiago."

[09:23] GT: "Because if you did, and if you were KEEPING IT from me..."

[09:24] CA: Beau sighs. "Yes Lily, it is very tragic." His eyes show remorse. "I am sorry for your loss."...

[09:24] GT: She pinches the bridge of her nose. "Did you KNOW he was a GHOST."

[09:25] CA: "Everyone turns into a ghost when they die. So, yes, I did know that. I am also a ghost. Or are you trying to imply someone brought him from his bubble back into the game?"...

[09:26] GT: "That's what Dad said!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:26] CA: "Because if so, no I did not know."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:26] GT: "Do you have proof," she says. "That you're not lying."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:27] CA: "Lily, I cannot prove anything because I have no idea what you are talking about."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:27] GT: "In the - oh, God damn it, you weren't in the fucking memo, were you."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:27] GT: "Christ."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:27] CA: Beau pinches the brige of his nose. "Of course there was a memo I missed."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:28] GT: "Long story short, apparently Thiago's..." She hesitates. "Thiago's back. Libby...brought him back, I guess? Like you?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:29] CA: Beau raises his eyebrows. "...No, I did not know that."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:29] CA: "I have not seen him around though."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:30] GT: "Yeah, he's...Libby's been interrogating him or something."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:30] GT: "And she didn't tell me."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:30] GT: "Because apparently she can't be bothered to tell her daughter that her fucking MOIRAIL isn't actually dead!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:31] GT: "No, I had to wait until Dad cheerfully informed me in a god damn memo to find out. Talk about special treatment."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:33] CA: "I'm sorry to hear that Lily, are you alright?"...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:35] GT: "I'll..." She sighs. "I'll be fine, I guess."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:36] GT: "Might as well update this..." She reaches out as if to decaptchalogue something, then frowns. "Wait."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:37] CA: "Hm?"...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:37] GT: "Where's my fucking notebook?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:37] CA: "Did you misplace it?"...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:38] GT: "No, I haven't taken it out for like a day! It should be in my sylladex, but it's fucking gone!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:39] CA: Beau raises a single eyebrow. "Odd, are you sure you haven't used it at all recently?"...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:40] GT: "No, I..." She trails off. "N-ye-no?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:40] CA: "It sounds to me that in all this stress, your mind has become scattered."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:41] GT: "No, but...I didn't...I didn't use it." She frowns. "Did I?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:42] CA: "If you are misplacing things, and forgtting things, might I reccomend speaking to our sylph of light? I'm sure she will be able to help you."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:43] GT: "No, but...this is weird. I've got an eidetic memory, I should KNOW."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:45] GT: "Oh jeez." Her eyes go wide. "Maybe Dad's right."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:45] CA: Beau sighs, crouching down to retrieve the handfull of coins off the ground. "Right about what?"...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:47] GT: "Well, a while ago, Dad told me I came to him right after Meouet did her whole thing, then freaked out and ran off, but I didn't remember it at ALL. And now my notebook's gone, but I don't remember what happened to it."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:48] GT: "He said maybe Jack was...stealing my time or something?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:51] CA: "Stealing your.. time? An interesting theory, and it brings me back to the last time I saw this occur, with your father, in his entrance."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:51] CA: "What other phenomena have you experienced?"...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:52] GT: "Uh, well, last time I got some kind of vision thingy of Meouet with these tentacle thingies."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:52] CA: "Hmm"...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:52] CA: "Interesting."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:53] CA: "Though if that is what you saw, I doubt Jack is stealing your time."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:53] GT: "Welp." She makes jazz hands. "Hooray, unexplained memory problemssss."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:54] CA: "Like I said, talk to the sylph of light, she will help you see again. Or perhaps you could talk to your father. He is a page, which means he can act as a sylph of mind."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:54] CA: "Hell, I am an heir of light, I might be able to help myself"...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:56] GT: "Which one's the sylph again?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:57] CA: "Seriad, it would make due to learn your teammates, as they are your only allies."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:59] GT: "Haha, oh fuck, the STRIPPER?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[10:00] CA: "Lily that is a very rude thing to say."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[10:00] GT: "No, she was literally a stripper in this universe."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[10:03] CA: "Actually, according to what I was told, she was a burlesque dancer. And again, Seriad is not the same as she was in your universe. She deserves your respect."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[10:05] GT: "Dude, chill. I can differentiate between you guys and your counterparts."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[10:09] GT: "I will give her all the mad respect, yo, you don't even KNOW."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[10:10] CA: "That you should."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[10:13] GT: "Yes." She nods. "I am the most responsible, it is me."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[10:14] CA: "Mm, ok, I will see you later then Lily."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[10:15] GT: "Yeah." She grumbles. "Ugh, I'm gonna have to get a new notebook."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[10:16] CA: Beau decaptchalouges a gray pocket notebook. "Here take this." He tosses her the book....

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[10:17] GT: "Oh, sweet!" She catches it. "Thanks a bunch!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[10:19] CA: "No problem, see you later Lily."...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[10:20] GT: She leaves, waving as she does.
