[08:53] TA: 777 Merrow, can you speak for a momen7? 777

[08:53] TA: 777 i7s fairly urgen7 777

[08:53] AA: Seems like everyone's having a crisis. Did something happen to you as well?

[08:53] TA: 777 no7 me necessarily 777

[08:53] TA: 777 well 777

[08:54] TA: 777 okay some7hing happened 7o me bu7 7ha7s no7 wha7 I am bugging you abou7 777

[08:55] TA: 777 have you spoken 7o Lily recen7ly? 777

[08:55] AA: Yes, actually, I just spoke to her. Or rather, to Erisio who was interpreting for her.

[08:55] TA: 777 in7erpre7ing? 777

[08:56] AA: Yes. She did not feel explaining the exact circumstances to me, but apparently she has lost her eyes.

[08:56] AA: So she cannot see to type on her own.

[08:57] TA: 777 I 777

[08:57] TA: 777 I see 777

[08:57] TA: 777 7ha7 is 777

[08:57] AA: Yes. A tragedy.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:58] AA: She seems to be taking it as well as can be expected though.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:59] TA: 777 yes 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:59] TA: 777 7ha7 is 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[08:59] TA: 777 good I suppose 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:00] TA: 777 did she men7ion any7hing abou7 her a77acker? 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:00] AA: No.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:01] TA: 777 damn 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:01] AA: She was very interested in highbloods though, and had some sort of falling out with her mother.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:02] AA: So it's possible she attacked Balish and this was his way of "punishing" her for it. And that her mother was upset with her either for being so reckless, or for harming Balish.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:02] AA: That is pure conjecture on my part though.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:02] TA: 777 Commander Balish? 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:02] AA: Again, I am only speculating.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:03] AA: She told me that they hadn't encountered him.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:03] AA: But it's the best I can figure out for why she would be asking about him.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:03] AA: At a time like this.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:05] TA: 777 I canno7 say for sure bu7 I know 7ha7 she has had a con7en7ious rela7ionship wi7h her mo7her 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:05] TA: 777 perhaps 7here is some connec7ion be7ween her and Balish? 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:05] AA: I believe everyone has had a contentious relationship with Libby at this point.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:06] AA: And yes, there is a connection between them. They are former lovers. Or rather, the Balish on her side was Libby's lover at one point.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:06] TA: 777 7he man has poor 7as7e in women if 7ha7 is 7he case 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:06] AA: We have been forbidden from harming the Balish on this side by Libby, unless we are defending our own lives.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:07] TA: 777 I will 7ry 7o live wi7h 7his agreemen7 as bes7 as I can 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:15] AA: Nor me. I am giving no orders to follow her dictates in that particular area. But it would pay to be wary of indiscretion in this area.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:19] TA: 777 I doub7 I could do any7hing 7o seriously injure 7he good commander bu7 I will 7ry and show res7rain7 none7heless 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:19] AA: He has much to answer for, whether he is responsible for Lily's predicament or not.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:19] TA: 777 ah yes 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:19] TA: 777 speaking of which 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:21] AA: What's that?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:23] TA: 777 I may be 7he reason behind 7he a77ack on Lily 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:26] AA: I'm not sure I follow you.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:27] TA: 777 Lily and I en7ered in7o a rela7ionship 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:28] TA: 777 and 7hen con7inued af7er being warned of reprocussions 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:28] AA: I see. So Lily's falling out with her mother may have been related.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:28] AA: Still, it seems unthinkable that that would be how she lost her eyes.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:28] AA: Unless the Oracle is more like Tyrian Bloods than I assumed.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:29] AA: Or Highbloods. Which would explain her interest in Balish.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:29] TA: 777 I can'7 really say 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:30] AA: She has certainly made violent threats toward me and the other players. Even Acenia.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:30] AA: Wait. You have spoken to your alternate parent?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:30] TA: 777 yes, 7he o7her version of Meoue7 Piraya 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:31] AA: So the other players have arrived?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:31] TA: 777 I 7hink 7ha7 she was a special case 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:32] TA: 777 she was 7he one who con7ac7ed us regarding Lily over my PDA 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:46] TA: 777 7his raises a few concerns over jus7 how much reign 7hese players have over us 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:47] AA: Indeed. I have suspected for some time that they will attempt to wrest control of the session from us by virtue of their experience.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:47] AA: And it is possible they have the Oracle on their side.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:48] AA: I am as of yet undecided on whether or not we should accept their leadership readily. Admittedly they will know the game much better than we do, having survived at least part of a session already, but nevertheless...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:48] AA: ...as a Prince the idea of kneeling to anyone is not one that sits well with me.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:48] TA: 777 agreed 777

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[09:55] AA: I don't think she can offer us most protection from Libby if we call down Libby's ire though. The best she seems to be able to offer is a chance.
