[04:54] -- abyssalArrow [AA] began trolling graciousTerminator [GT] at 16:54 --

[04:54] AA: Hello, Kikate.

[04:54] AA: I hope you're having better luck than I am.

[04:54] GT: { }

[04:54] AA: Something tells me you aren't.

[04:55] GT: { I }

[04:55] GT: { It's bad }

[04:55] AA: Oh no. What happened?

[04:57] GT: { Oh nothing much we somehow just fucked everything up and got our minds fried by an uncompromising twink }

[05:06] -- abyssalArrow [AA] is now an idle chum! --

[05:11] AA: Oh no. Did Jack get to your team?

[05:11] GT: { Libby, as it happens, was the catalyst. }

[05:12] GT: { Apparently we needed this golden calf or something shitty like that to complete our land's quest }

[05:12] GT: { But we missed it, earlier. After returning to where we last heard it, Libby contacted me and informed me that the calf was in her possession }

[05:13] AA: So, she gave it to you and Jack attacked?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:13] GT: { And that she would refuse to give it to me because it would just live out its life and die like a normal bull }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:13] GT: { Oh no }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:13] GT: { Jack never showed up Kate }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:13] AA: ...What?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:13] AA: ...Libby attacked you?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:13] GT: { It was a mental attack, but... yes. }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:14] GT: { I tried *so* hard, Kate }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:14] GT: { I knew I couldn't provoke her }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:14] AA: Kikate... I don't know what to say.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:14] AA: I'm shocked.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:15] GT: { I was surprised too and... I just don't know }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:15] GT: { She always seemed so logical and calculating }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:15] GT: { I told her that the calf was a sacrifice that had to be made for the greater good of the land }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:15] GT: { And that's true! But I failed. Like usual. }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:15] AA: No, no, don't think like that.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:15] GT: { She... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:15] GT: { She said that I never did anything good... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:16] GT: { That I only harmed and never saved anyone }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:16] AA: You and I both know that isn't true.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:16] AA: Your team is alive because of you and you know that.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:17] GT: { Alive... But not unhurt. I tried to calm Libby but I only angered her and we got attacked... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:18] AA: What did she do?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:18] GT: { It was a mental attack, I should've seen it coming }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:18] GT: { I can't even describe it... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:19] GT: { Just an eXplosion of thoughts in my mind, a rush of people and things }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:19] AA: That sounds... incredible.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:20] GT: { But it }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:20] AA: Not necessarilly good or healthy, but incredible.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:20] GT: { Indeed, and when it left... That was the worst }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:20] GT: { Just a crushing feeling of emptiness }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:20] AA: What of the calf?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:21] GT: { It's still in her possession as far as I know }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:21] AA: I don't think she will be swayed in that, then.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:21] GT: { She definitely won't hear any further reason from what the looks of this, yeah. }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:21] AA: What will become of your world, then?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:22] GT: { The bulls stay drunk forever, I guess }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:22] GT: { I think eventually wars will break out between the parties }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:23] GT: { And then the imps will just pick off what's left of them }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:23] AA: That's a shame, but I think not the worst that could happen.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:25] GT: { Maybe... It's going to be hard to salvage the quest from this. }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:25] AA: Do you have to complete it?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:25] AA: I know it seems strange to just walk away from it at this point, but it has given you so much trouble so far.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:26] GT: { }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:26] GT: { I can't }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:26] GT: { I'd like to, but it can't happen }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:27] AA: I know it's hard to give up on it after so long.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:28] AA: Maybe I can help you figure out an alternative.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:29] GT: { }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:29] GT: { Regardless of the truth to them... Libby's words stuck like glue }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:29] GT: { But I know that if I can complete this }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:30] GT: { Then I *know* I'm not just a leader that kept his members alive }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:30] GT: { I'm a leader, then, who could do that and still get the job done }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:30] AA: I believe if anyone can do it, it's you, Kikate.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:31] AA: There could also be a silver lining to all of this.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:31] GT: { }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:32] GT: { I really needed that... Thank you... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:32] GT: { And what kind of silver lining? }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:32] AA: Well. Despite whatever detrimental effects there could be from having suffered through an assault like that.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:32] AA: Perhaps... it could also be your path to discovering the power of mind.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:34] GT: { You think so? It's definitely possible... I feel different, for sure... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:34] GT: { Well, there's basically no way I could go through that unchanged. }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:35] AA: It is surely painful right now, but you can learn from it, I'm sure.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[05:35] AA: One way or another.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[08:59] GT: { Yeah, I think I know what you mean by that }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[08:59] GT: { I used to think that mind was more logic-based, but it goes way beyond that }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:00] GT: { I mean if you think about the brain }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:00] AA: I also thought my aspect was simpler than it is, but I was shocked to find out the depth.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:01] GT: { Yeah. Everything we can do and perceive is almost always determined by our minds }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:01] GT: { It's a lot to take in... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:02] AA: There is no one better to take it in, I think.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:02] GT: { Oh you }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:02] GT: { You flatter me }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:03] AA: Not at all.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:03] AA: Of our mind players, you are most certainly the most capable and powerful.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:04] AA: You know your limits, for the most part, and are cautious, but still thirst for improvement.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:05] GT: { Yeah... Obviously I didn't know my limits with Libby just now... Maybe I should'nt even tried using my aspect there. But then again, I guess it's learning... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:05] GT: { Silver linings, like you said~ <3 }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:06] AA: I count a hostile encounter with a twink where you don't die a good hostile encounter.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:09] GT: { Yeah that's a reasonable way to classify it I think }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:11] GT: { So you mentionned your recent endeavors briefly at the beginning of this conversation }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:12] GT: { Do you want to tell me about them? }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:12] AA: Oh yes.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:12] AA: Of course.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:12] AA: Well, currently it is a little slow.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:12] AA: You see, and keep this under wraps between us, Sami has tapped into some dangerous powers.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:12] AA: Something took her over briefly and she destroyed the cog we were trying to get.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:13] AA: I am mostly not worried, since we can probably fix it, but it'd be safest to get all of the pieces.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:14] GT: { That's good }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:14] AA: So, the spiders are looking for it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:14] GT: { Spiders? }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:14] AA: The imps, combined with crowrantulas, military officers, and the like.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:15] AA: Difficult, but not impossible to deal with.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:16] AA: So, I think that once they find it, we can steal it from them and restore it with hepheastus.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:16] AA: Or if that fails, I can... time it back together.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:17] GT: { Obviously that'll be a last resort. We don't want to get Jack on the scent again, but you knew that already }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:17] AA: Kikate, what do you think about the idea of... asking Jack for permission?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:18] GT: { To use your time powers? }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:19] AA: Yes.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:20] GT: { I don't know... It depends if we think that he can even be reasoned with. Has there been anything to indicate such a quality within him? }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:20] AA: Nullar seems to have found at least some shred of it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:22] GT: { Well, why do you think Jack comes after anyone displaying time abilities? I wouldn't know... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:22] AA: It seems to me he wants to control time completely, so it stands to reason that making like a lowly begger of time wizardry would make for a good stroking of his control complex.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:24] GT: { Ah, so he desires to have mastery of the aspect all to himself. That clears that up... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:24] GT: { Anyway, I would go for it }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:24] AA: Okay.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:25] AA: I may ask Nullar's opinion on the matter first.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:25] GT: { If there's a chance of it suceeding without any potential of harm to you, then there's no reason not to try it }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:26] GT: { And that would be best, asking Nullar first. She seems to know Jack so well, after all. Or at least more so than any of us. }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:26] GT: { What do you think of her, incidentally? }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:26] AA: I think she's in danger, but then, all of us are.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:27] GT: { Yes indeed }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:29] GT: { We had a bit of a disagreement over ideaologies when we spoke }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:29] AA: I do not hold disagreements of the sort against her.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:29] AA: So long as her ideas do not end up in the endangerment of us and our success.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:30] GT: { Yeah it's not bothering anyone }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:30] AA: It's not like Jack needs her for information or anything.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:31] GT: { Well, it's just that... And maybe this is me being stupid but }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:31] GT: { I just find it so hard to sympathize with Jack like she can }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:31] GT: { And I don't hold that against her }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:31] GT: { It just surprises me. I mean, that's the guy that's gonna murder my moirail in a couple of days }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:32] GT: { Maybe I'm just overreacting though... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:32] AA: You're absolutely not overreacting.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:32] AA: But I think her presence may be doing us good than you think.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:33] AA: What would have happened if he didn't have someone to distract him?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:33] GT: { Indeed, she's definitely an asset }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:36] AA: Hopefully she can help us even more.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:36] AA: But we'll see.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:37] AA: I'll talk to her when I've gathered my thoughts.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:37] GT: { Indeed. I'll remain wary of basically everything, like always. }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:39] GT: { Do you think the other humans will like me? I haven't really talked to any of them besides you and Doir. }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:39] AA: I am certain they will.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:40] AA: You and Doir will work very nicely together.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:40] AA: However, we could change up the plan.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:40] AA: After all, your team needs you.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:40] GT: { Yeah, I was a bit worried about that }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:40] GT: { We have a team member MIA at the moment }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:40] GT: { Along with wrapping up this quest... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:40] AA: Would you prefer to stay? I could switch from Balish's team to yours when I am finished there.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:41] GT: { Right, Balish. I'm sure he'll have some *fantastic* things to say about me. But I think your plan is the most logical }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:41] GT: { So we can go ahead and roll with that if you're okay with it }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:41] AA: The only thing is, we need a strong fighter to replace me.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:42] GT: { Yes indeed... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:43] AA: Who is the next best fighter?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:44] GT: { Hm. Jossik is alright, but that's basically out of the question because we can't seperate him from Ryspor... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:45] GT: { Ryspor would probably say the same thing. Seriad's nice, but not the best fighter... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:45] GT: { I can't believe I'm doing this but I'm tempted to suggest Tlaloc }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:45] AA: I don't know much about him.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:46] GT: { He's a bit of an ass, and that is to say a regrettably good troll }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:47] AA: Unfortunately.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:47] AA: There is also his relationship with Beau to consider.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:47] AA: Though... This might simply be entertaining.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:48] GT: { I guess that's one way of looking at it }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:48] GT: { He does seem to have quite the thing for her }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:48] GT: { I take that it's unrequited? }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:49] AA: Yes.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:49] AA: But that may make him more motivated to perform better.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:51] GT: { Possibly, yes }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:52] GT: { He always has struggled with motivation... And now that I have Jossik pale for me we won't have to worry about breaking up another quadrant }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:52] AA: It's settled then.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:54] GT: { Yeah. I wonder who Balish's team will send over... }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:54] AA: That is a mystery indeed.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:55] GT: { Yeah.. You know I love you, right? }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:56] GT: { I can't even think of what I'd be doing right now if not for you... If you should need my life, you have it in a heartbeat. }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:58] AA: Don't worry. I don't intend to take it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[09:59] AA: But I appreciate the offer.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[10:00] GT: { }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[10:01] GT: { That's not what I meant! X.X }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[10:01] AA: Oh.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[10:02] AA: What did you mean?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[10:02] GT: { I'm saying it wrong. I mean. To the best of my abilities (recognizing that we're planets away at the moment) }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[10:02] GT: { I'll always protect you, alright? }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[10:02] AA: And the same goes to you.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[10:03] AA: When you run out of time, I'll give you some more.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[10:04] GT: { Thanks <3 }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[10:04] GT: { NeXt time we talk I'll have some really romantic Mind version of that for you. It'll be so great. }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[10:06] AA: I await with bated breath.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[10:08] GT: { Can't wait. Talk to you later, love. }

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[10:08] AA: Until then.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[10:08] GT: { <3 }
