 [02:58] AC: "wait, his dreamself, is dead, too?"

 [02:59] GA: "| Yeah, it was in the papers... Along with his new 'lord' title, still not sure what that even means. I stayed out of his evil schemes or whatever he did in his free time.|"

 [03:00] AC: "he was a, lord? that's, mighty interestin' seeing as, my intel told, me he was a, Page of Hope"

 [03:01] GA: "| Mhm, he raised it recently, I think. Not sure why. Maybe he liked the sound of it more. |"

 [03:03] AC: "damn, Hope is hella, hard to control, I wouldn't be, surprised if he'd've done, a lot of damage, to us, if he was still around"

 [03:04] GA: Tethys sighs. "| Maybe. I think inside he was a good guy, but he did kind of betray me and my Prince, and he wasn't exactly the most faithful. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:07] GA: Tethys looks down. "| Yeah, I just wish I could have stopped him. I'm a Knight, I have to be protecting the people around me. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:08] GA: "| Space. I hear some Herald guy could teach me, but I haven't seen him. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:09] AC: "I wouldn't be looking, for him really, he ain't the most, forward thinker"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:09] GA: "| What, is he like, racist too? |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:11] AC: "not racist, no. but he's sexist, as all get, out"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:12] GA: "| So, last night, my dreamself kind of got half-possessed with a really horny ghost? |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:13] GA: "| She's pretty chill though. Just wants to do Merrow and doesn't like do any weird horror crap. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:14] AC: "how's she gonna, with them, wheels you got, there?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:14] GA: "| Oh. This happened like last week, and only to my waking self. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:16] GA: "| But I don't need to be pitied. I have GRAPPLING HOOKS. |" She takes 'em out and shoots two punching bags.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:16] AC: "pfft. it's hard, to pity someone, who hasn't got, shit on you"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:16] AC: "I had my, blood ripped out, of my body"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:16] AC: "and lived, mind oyu"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:19] GA: "| I mean, I didn't really get an evil vibe, just a 'really pissed' one, but I have to make sure. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:21] AC: "relatively no, but yeah, callous as a, barefoot kid walking, down the freeway, in the middle of, July"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:22] GA: "| Oh, I can so relate. The roof of the palace gets really, really hot sometimes. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:27] GA: "| Well, I think he's colorblind, at least. Never asked. Just assumed. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:28] AC: "then why weren't you, on his team, for the last round, of worlds?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:28] GA: "| Shrug? |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:29] AC: "did you just, say 'shrug' out loud, instead of actually, shrugging?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:30] GA: "| Yeah, actual shrugging is kind of painful right now. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:30] GA: "| I was eaten by a hydra. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:31] AC: "fun, I got, eaten by a snake before"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:33] GA: "| Nice. Yeah, no, my snake just had a room with some kind of magical destiny galaxy frog with some kind of offer. Didn't take it. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:35] AC: "yeah, mine was my, denizen, so I had, to go in, to finish my, quest. so I know, all about, the inside of, snakes being, important areas for, Knight's quests"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:36] GA: "| Oh, it wasn't my quest. Was that rotorhead Mari's, in what I think was her denizen. I left and let her take the deal to finish the quest. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:36] AC: "huh, why'd you, go in then?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:37] GA: "| All eight heads were attacking me. Thought it'd be easier to kill it with only stomach acid in my way. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:38] AC: "fair, enough"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:39] GA: "| Are you a Knight, then? |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:43] AC: "not so much tips, as demonstrations, maybe"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:43] AC: "easier to show, than tell"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:45] GA: Tethys nods in excitement. "| Let's see, then, uh Claudin. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:45] GA: "| Elyan the White, maybe? Lancelot? |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:45] AC: "claw what?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:46] GA: "| One of the Knights of the Round Table. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:46] AC: "right, was always more, a fan of, more modern history"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:47] GA: "| Heh, yeah, the story of those two ecoterrorists binding our planets together with that big tree was always my favorite. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:48] AC: "that ain't one, I'm familiar with"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:48] GA: "| Eh, history's not important any more. So, a demonstration was mentioned? |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:49] AC: "right, you see that, medicine ball, over there?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:49] GA: She nods, looking at it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:51] AC: the medicine ball begins rolling towards Tethys, stopping at her feet, "throw it at, me"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:51] GA: "| Sure. |" She leans over, picks it up, and throws it with ease. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:53] AC: about halfway to Nate, the ball stops dead in the air, blocked by a small circle of white light

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:54] GA: "| Ooooooooooh. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:55] AC: "heh, that's nothing" the white circle detonates and the ball begins speeding off perpendicular to it's orginal course

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:56] GA: "| OOOoooooooooooooooh! |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:57] AC: "but yeah, blocking and redirecting, are pretty standard, fare for Knights"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:58] AC: "we're sorta, the shields, of the classes"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:58] GA: "| I see. I've used my powers but once, to move everyone a hundred meters forward when we were trying to outrun a sentient storm. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:59] AC: "that's a pretty, good distance, for a rookie, especially moving, multiple targets"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:00] GA: "| Cool. I'm +2 Space now, though, and I have a Space Ghost from a Space Skull to help me, so maybe I can do like three hundred meters. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:01] AC: "ehh, getting more, powerful with your aspect, tends to see, exponential gains, both through, increased power and increased, control"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:02] AC: "but 100 meters, may not be a baseline, if that's your only, experience"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:02] GA: "| Ooooooh. Hey, throw the ball at me, I bet I could redirect it with Space. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:03] AC: "alright" Nate flies over to grab the ball and flings it dead on towards Tethys' face

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:09] GA: "| Spacebending Ball Redirection! |" Tethys makes Spacey hand movements at the ball and it disappears only a foot from her face, reappearing just a few inches behind her.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:09] GA: And hits the ground with a thud.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:10] GA: "| I redirected it to behind me! |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:12] AC: "hmm, that's not too bad" the ball leaps into the air and sails right into the back of Tethys' head "but you should, never redirect, things behind, you"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:13] AC: "especially, because, in the future, you may have, teammates, standing behind you"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:14] GA: "| Oof! Point taken. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:15] GA: "| You're pretty cool, alternate universe Nate. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:16] AC: "heh, likewise"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:20] GA: "| Well, I have no further questions, so you can get back to your training if you'd like. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:21] GA: "| Was nice meetin' you in a non-combat situation. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:22] AC: "alright, if you want, to practice some more, I'll be around, maybe I'll teach ya, about attacking, with your aspect, once you have, some more mobility"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:22] GA: She nods. "| Thanks. Oh, what's your handle, by the way? |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:25] AC: "acquiredCarne"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:26] GA: "| gallionicAcrobat. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:28] AC: "alright, later"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:28] GA: Tethys grunts, and gets to punchin' bags.
