Faerzen and RegentMom

[00:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> [22:36]  * Lyra_Bel steps outside
[00:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> [22:36]  * Lyra_Bel gets to work drawing a new pair of wings, smiling to herself
[00:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> [22:36]  * Faerzen_Norstov closes the door
[00:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> [22:37]  * Regent's shaking gradually lessens over time
[00:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> [22:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> Is that better?
[00:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> [22:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thank you for explaining that bit back there, by the way.
[00:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> [22:38] <Regent> A little
[00:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> [22:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> I didn't realize simply being in the vicinity of Lyra hurt you so much.
[00:08] <Terese_Tibalt> (No response)
[00:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> So, what was it you wanted to talk with me about?
[00:10] <Faerzen_Norstov> Or is it nothing in particular and you simply wished to be away from Lyra?
[00:10] <Terese_Tibalt> Y-yeah
[00:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> She really can be too much to handle sometimes.
[00:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> And by sometimes, I mean almost all of the time.
[00:11] <Terese_Tibalt> You haven't even been inside of her head
[00:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> I admire her for her drive, but how does she manage to put all of that drive in almost all of the wrong places?
[00:12] <Terese_Tibalt> It's a real mess up in there
[00:12] <Faerzen_Norstov> I can't even begin to imagine what that would be like
[00:12] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well
[00:12] <Faerzen_Norstov> Actually, I shouldn't blatantly lie about that
[00:12] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have been attempting to monitor her, even when I can't be here
[00:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> Just in case she decides to do something exceptionally stupid or destructive
[00:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have recently been able to read her surface thoughts to keep tabs on her
[00:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> But it hasn't been anywhere near as immersive as your connection with her
[00:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> And honestly, I am glad of that
[00:14] <Terese_Tibalt> And that's through that shimmering chain you have there?
[00:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> Indeed
[00:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> I would appreciate it if you wouldn't tell her about it however
[00:14] <Terese_Tibalt> Ok
[00:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> I intended it to be a two-way communications device initially
[00:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> But to my dismay, I found it only functions in one direction
[00:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't think Lyra would take it very well if she found out what I've been doing.
[00:15]  * Faerzen_Norstov sighs
[00:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> I feel like I can say that about anyone though.
[00:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> Why do I do things like this?
[00:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> And then keep doing them, even after they keep blowing up in my face?
[00:16] <Terese_Tibalt> Hey Faerzen
[00:16] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes?
[00:16] <Terese_Tibalt> Do you want to carry me around for a while on your head?
[00:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> I would much prefer that to leaving you with Lyra, yes.
[00:18] <Terese_Tibalt> Ok
[00:18] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't know if my head will be even remotely pleasant to knock about inside, but I can't imagine it would be worse than Lyra's
[00:18] <Terese_Tibalt> I'll not poke around your thoughts unless you give me permission
[00:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thank you
[00:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> I actually appreciate that a lot
[00:19] <Terese_Tibalt> It hurts me that you'd imply I would without asking
[00:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'm sorry
[00:20] <Terese_Tibalt> Basically I will gather your thoughts and a vague impression of some memories over time
[00:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> The way Lyra always talked about it, she made herself seem like such the victim
[00:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> Helpless against your influences
[00:20] <Terese_Tibalt> But I won't influence people, I'm not the kind of person who would do that sort of thing
[00:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> But I suppose she does that with everything
[00:20] <Terese_Tibalt> Lyra is an overdramatic Primadonna sometimes
[00:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> If you replace the word "sometimes" with "almost all the time", then yes, I agree
[00:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> It can be so aggravating sometimes!
[00:21]  * Faerzen_Norstov peeks out the window
[00:21] <Terese_Tibalt> Tch
[00:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> Where has she even gone off to now!
[00:21] <Terese_Tibalt> The Girl does have a mental disorder
[00:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> She's nowhere in sight
[00:22] <Terese_Tibalt> I think she flew off with the pen
[00:22] <Terese_Tibalt> Not sure where to
[00:22]  * Faerzen_Norstov sighs
[00:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> of course
[00:22] <Terese_Tibalt> Hey
[00:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'll keep an eye on her through the necklace
[00:22] <Terese_Tibalt> Faerzen
[00:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes?
[00:22] <Terese_Tibalt> Go easy on Lyra
[00:23] <Terese_Tibalt> You can't afford to get angry at her
[00:23] <Terese_Tibalt> Work out your anger through other methods
[00:23]  * Faerzen_Norstov sits down and puts her head in her hands
[00:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> I know I can't afford that, but it's so hard not to....
[00:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> Every time I look at her
[00:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> All I think of is all the anguish she causes herself and that she inflicts on nearly everyone she interacts with. Not only that, but all the time she spent with "Maskwraith", that detestible, vile man.
[00:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> And on some level, she liked him!
[00:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> HIM!
[00:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> Of all people?
[00:24] <Terese_Tibalt> Hey
[00:25] <Terese_Tibalt> That man is fucked up, sure
[00:25] <Terese_Tibalt> But he knows it
[00:25] <Terese_Tibalt> And he tries to avoid acting like it
[00:25] <Terese_Tibalt> He is no different then the Nick you know now I should think
[00:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> That doesn't change what.....
[00:25]  * Faerzen_Norstov shivers
[00:25] <Terese_Tibalt> Other than he went too far
[00:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> I like to think that I fixed this Nick though!
[00:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, "fixed" isn't the correct word
[00:26]  * Faerzen_Norstov sighs
[00:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> I even told myself I'd stop using that word
[00:27] <Terese_Tibalt> Hey
[00:27] <Terese_Tibalt> Shhhhhhhhhhhhh
[00:27] <Terese_Tibalt> Just stay calm Faerzen
[00:27] <Terese_Tibalt> You are doing a good job
[00:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, but for how long?
[00:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> All this game has done to any of us is continually try and tear us down. Test us.
[00:28] <Terese_Tibalt> Shhh
[00:28] <Terese_Tibalt> Faerzen
[00:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> I've tried to stand up in the midst of all of that. Told everyone never to give up. Keep going.
[00:28] <Terese_Tibalt> You know what you need?
[00:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> And it's worked!
[00:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> Everything I've done so far has been more or less successful.
[00:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> But all that's done is made everyone else rely on me! I've build myself up high on a pedestal and all that's bound to happen is for me to fall.
[00:29] <Terese_Tibalt> Faerzen
[00:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have so many things to worry about right now! There's no fucking way I can juggle everything
[00:29] <Terese_Tibalt> Faerzen
[00:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> What.
[00:30] <Terese_Tibalt> Do you have any ice cream in the fridge?
[00:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> What?
[00:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> What does that have to do with anything?
[00:30] <Terese_Tibalt> Because Faerzen
[00:31] <Terese_Tibalt> You need to slow down and do something for yourself
[00:31]  * Faerzen_Norstov rolls her eyes
[00:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> Like that is going to help at all.
[00:31] <Terese_Tibalt> Faerzen
[00:31] <Terese_Tibalt> Go make yourself a bowl of ice cream
[00:31] <Terese_Tibalt> And enjoy it
[00:32] <Terese_Tibalt> It will make you feel better
[00:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> Here, I have a lot of things to juggle so do you know what would help? Not doing ANY of them. That would be just great when everything is on a deadline.
[00:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> Who cares if I feel better?
[00:32] <Terese_Tibalt> I care
[00:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> In 7 hours, if I'm not prepared, Lyra will be BOUND in a contract
[00:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> Her SOUL will be signed away
[00:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> I can't sit by and eat ice cream!
[00:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> What if I need that time?
[00:33] <Terese_Tibalt> There is no possible way we don't win that trial on grounds of insanity
[00:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> What if I fail when I could have done better?
[00:33] <Terese_Tibalt> It is already a clear cut case
[00:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> How can you be so certain?
[00:33] <Terese_Tibalt> What has Abyss claimed?
[00:33] <Terese_Tibalt> A single contract breach that Lyra was unaware of
[00:34] <Terese_Tibalt> Insanity wipes that all away
[00:34] <Terese_Tibalt> Given that Lyra is actually inside and I've been in her head
[00:34] <Terese_Tibalt> I can prove it
[00:35] <Faerzen_Norstov> You explicitly told me though that you have no training in universal law, and neither do I.
[00:35] <Faerzen_Norstov> How do we know what the rules are on dictating insanity?
[00:35] <Terese_Tibalt> Faerzen
[00:35] <Terese_Tibalt> You
[00:35] <Terese_Tibalt> Bowl
[00:35] <Terese_Tibalt> Ice Cream
[00:35] <Terese_Tibalt> No more wasting time talking
[00:35] <Terese_Tibalt> I have this under control
[00:36] <Terese_Tibalt> Let me take this burden from you
[00:36]  * Faerzen_Norstov sits in silence
[00:36] <Terese_Tibalt> You deserve this much at the very least
[00:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> I.....
[00:37] <Terese_Tibalt> Shhh
[00:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't know if I'm going to actually be able to do this.
[00:37] <Terese_Tibalt> You don't always have to do everything yourself
[00:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> Believe me, I want to pretend for a moment as though all of this didn't exist.
[00:37] <Terese_Tibalt> Trust me
[00:38] <Terese_Tibalt> Now Faerzen
[00:38] <Terese_Tibalt> I can actually make you go up and get some Ice Cream if your subconscious desire is great enough
[00:38] <Terese_Tibalt> I don't want to stoop to that level
[00:39] <Terese_Tibalt> Seriously, just take a minute to relax with some ice cream
[00:39] <Terese_Tibalt> Or read a book
[00:39] <Terese_Tibalt> Or take a shower
[00:39] <Terese_Tibalt> Do something you want to do for yourself
[00:39]  * Faerzen_Norstov sighs
[00:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> I haven't had a shower in at least 4 days
[00:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> It's honestly disgusting
[00:40] <Terese_Tibalt> Alright then
[00:40] <Terese_Tibalt> Uh, I guess you can just take me off and leave me outside the room somewhere
[00:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, I would very much prefer to do that
[00:40] <Terese_Tibalt> Alright
[00:41] <Terese_Tibalt> Completely reasonable
[00:41] <Terese_Tibalt> Make sure that you enjoy the shower
[00:41] <Faerzen_Norstov> I just realized something.
[00:41] <Faerzen_Norstov> I haven't the slightest clue how to wash hair this long.
[00:42] <Terese_Tibalt> Well, I could try to give you tips
[00:42] <Terese_Tibalt> That might be extremely uncomfortable for you though
[00:42] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'm sure it won't be that big of a deal. I'm hardly even dirty anyways since this is my dream self.
[00:43] <Faerzen_Norstov> Wishing yourself to be clean is certainly a lot easier than a shower.
[00:43] <Terese_Tibalt> True
[00:43] <Terese_Tibalt> How are you feeling Faerzen? :)
[00:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> You know what, as long as I'm going for this whole "break" thing, I might as well go further
[00:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'll take TWO showers
[00:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> one for each of me
[00:44] <Terese_Tibalt> That's the spirit
[00:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'm sure Nick knows it's the other me that needs the shower
[00:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> Speaking of which, I told him to meet me at home. I wonder where he is
[00:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> I had a surprise for him.
[00:45] <Terese_Tibalt> Hmm, I wonder
[00:45] <Terese_Tibalt> Oh?
[00:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> I mostly simply want to see his reaction when he sees it because it will likely be most entertaining.
[00:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> Is that bad?
[00:46] <Terese_Tibalt> Hey, are you feeling totally ok towards Nick?
[00:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> ....
[00:47] <Terese_Tibalt> I'm picking up on a bit of hesitance
[00:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> I....
[00:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> Honestly, I don't know.
[00:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> I *want* to feel okay
[00:47] <Terese_Tibalt> What's wrong?
[00:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> Long story short?
[00:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'm not really sure how to summarize it but I suppose I would say it's a mixture of guilt and fear.
[00:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> I know he said he forgave me for everything, but what else was he going to say?
[00:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> I completely used and manipulated him, and then dumped all of that on him right after he professed how utterly broken he would be without me
[00:49] <Terese_Tibalt> I don't have any context here I'm afraid
[00:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, I'm sorry.
[00:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hmmmm.
[00:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> Let me try and give you a quick synopsis then.
[00:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, you know about doomed Nick, I suppose
[00:50] <Terese_Tibalt> Mr Maskwraith, Lyra refers to him as
[00:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes
[00:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well as it turns out he sent me and Nick some... gifts
[00:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> He took the Faerzen and Byron from his timeline and sent them back to die in front of Nick and my eyes
[00:53] <Terese_Tibalt> ...
[00:53] <Faerzen_Norstov> He told Nick about everyone he murdered
[00:53] <Faerzen_Norstov> He even stranded Nick with the baby I had because Maskwraith raped me in the timeline
[00:53] <Faerzen_Norstov> Everything about him has only caused me and Nick inordinate pain and suffering
[00:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> And Nick and I knew that he was the same person as Nick
[00:54] <Terese_Tibalt> < *Eye twitch >
[00:54] <Terese_Tibalt> < Nick and I, you mean >
[00:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> < sigh >
[00:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> < yes >
[00:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> < wait, no>
[00:54] <Terese_Tibalt> < Sorry, Grammar Nazi here >
[00:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> <it's definitely me>
[00:54] <Terese_Tibalt> < Maybe? >
[00:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> <everything about him has only cause i inordinate pain and suffering>
[00:55] <Terese_Tibalt> < Aw fuck >
[00:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> < rekt >
[00:55] <Terese_Tibalt> < Damn Grammar >
[00:56] <Terese_Tibalt> < ==> >
[00:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> Nick began to get lost in his own mind out of fear that he would be the same monster
[00:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> I was honestly terrified of both him and doomed Nick
[00:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> Especially after what he did to me in the doomed timeline.
[00:56] <Terese_Tibalt> < She is a truly cruel mistress >
[00:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> I could see Nick easily spiraling down inside his own dark thoughts and becoming that monster
[00:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> And if I left him alone there was nothing that would prevent that
[00:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> So I tried to befriend him
[00:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> I can understand and deal with equations, numbers, logic, plans
[00:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> Sometimes even people
[00:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> But when it comes to myself? Especially my emotions? I'm hopeless.
[00:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> It was honestly one of the most challenging things I've ever done
[00:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> I needed to come across as friendly. As a caring and stabilizing force in his life.
[00:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> But every single ounce of my existence was terrified and repulsed by what I saw.
[00:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> I attribute the fact that he didn't notice earlier simply to the fact that he needed someone to keep him from himself so badly that he didn't notice.
[01:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> But I kept trying.
[01:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> I noticed he started developing..... romantic interests in me.
[01:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> I tried to ignore them since I didn't want to get anywhere near romance with someone who..... yeah.
[01:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> But I soon found out refusing him would only cause more damage so I manipulated him again
[01:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> I made the first move to make it seem like I reciprocated his feelings
[01:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> I mean, he seemed as though he could be a nice person, but there was no way I was ready for anything genuinely romantic
[01:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> From there on out, I essentially tried to distance myself as much as I could while still being able to maintain our sort of "relationship"
[01:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> It was all a big project. Just another plan to keep myself safe.
[01:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> And if it saved everyone else from him too, then all the better.
[01:03] <Terese_Tibalt> Have you told him this?
[01:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Nick was just another cog in the great machine of this game I needed to stabilize lest things fall apart.
[01:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Approximately half an hour ago, yes
[01:03] <Terese_Tibalt> Oh
[01:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> That is where my hesitation comes from
[01:04] <Terese_Tibalt> Yes, I see that now
[01:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> Over time, I noticed Nick becoming much more stable and well-rounded
[01:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> Odd, yes, but beginning to be genuinely happy
[01:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> Driven to help others
[01:04] <Terese_Tibalt> Faerzen, it's ok to cry if you need
[01:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> Playful
[01:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> I....
[01:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> I already did quite a lot of that, I'm afraid.
[01:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> And I suspect at this rate that I will again.
[01:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thank you.
[01:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> Over time, I began to try to bury the doomed nick that I once knew
[01:05] <Terese_Tibalt> If I had a corporeal body that wasn't yours I would hug you right now
[01:06]  * Faerzen_Norstov wraps her wings around herself
[01:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> This will have to be good enough then.
[01:06]  * Faerzen_Norstov closes her eyes and sighs, remembering
[01:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> I.....
[01:06] <Terese_Tibalt> Honey...
[01:06]  * Faerzen_Norstov 's voice begins shaking
[01:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> I honestly have no clue what I'm doing with him anymore
[01:06] <Terese_Tibalt> Shh shh shh
[01:07] <Terese_Tibalt> Listen
[01:07] <Terese_Tibalt> When was the last time you slept
[01:07] <Terese_Tibalt> And I mean slept, not this silly Dreamself thing
[01:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> I-Is that even possible?
[01:07]  * Faerzen_Norstov puts her head in her hands
[01:07] <Terese_Tibalt>  Shhh
[01:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> S-sometimes I wonder if I'm just going to end up m-making things worse in the end
[01:08] <Terese_Tibalt> Let's head to a mattress and take some time to sleep
[01:08] <Terese_Tibalt> I will make it so that you simply dream
[01:08]  * Faerzen_Norstov wipes her eyes
[01:09] <Terese_Tibalt> I will also ensure you wake up plenty early for the trial
[01:09] <Terese_Tibalt> You need some rest Sweetie
[01:09] <Terese_Tibalt> Is that ok?
[01:10]  * Faerzen_Norstov begins crying in earnest again
[01:10]  * Faerzen_Norstov shakes her head
[01:10] <Faerzen_Norstov> Y-yeah
[01:10] <Terese_Tibalt> Darling
[01:10] <Terese_Tibalt> Please don't cry
[01:10] <Terese_Tibalt> I know it hurts so much
[01:10] <Terese_Tibalt> And I can't fix that
[01:10] <Terese_Tibalt> But I don't want to see you cry
[01:10] <Terese_Tibalt> Here's the mattress
[01:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> C-can....
[01:11]  * Faerzen_Norstov sniffs
[01:11] <Terese_Tibalt> Let us disembark from this world and responsibilities for a short while
[01:11]  * Faerzen_Norstov feebly laughs amidst her shaky breaths
[01:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> Y-you're reminding me of my mom, y-you know? hehehe
[01:12] <Faerzen_Norstov> God, I wish I knew where she was
[01:12] <Terese_Tibalt> You were asking something?
[01:12] <Faerzen_Norstov> ?
[01:13] <Terese_Tibalt> I interrupted you earlier
[01:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> O-oh....
[01:13]  * Faerzen_Norstov sniffs and wipes her eyes
[01:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> I....
[01:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> I r-really want to sleep in my own bed
[01:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> With..... M-m-maskwraith around here....
[01:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't really feel safe...... especially in this b-body
[01:14] <Terese_Tibalt> Maskwraith isn't around right now
[01:14] <Terese_Tibalt> The Judge banished him far away
[01:15] <Terese_Tibalt> He couldn't possibly show up for at least another week or so
[01:15] <Terese_Tibalt> And Honey
[01:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> C-can't he j-just use that watch?
[01:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> He s-showed Lyra it earlier.
[01:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> I saw.
[01:20] <Terese_Tibalt> Listen, Faerzen, Darling
[01:20] <Terese_Tibalt> Don't worry about him
[01:20] <Terese_Tibalt> Time travel won't work for him here
[01:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> W-what I was g-going to ask
[01:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> Was f-for you to take me home
[01:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> I.... don't think I can float myself there now
[01:21] <Terese_Tibalt> I can't quite do that, but I can manage something a tiny bit close
[01:21] <Terese_Tibalt> But first let me say this
[01:22] <Terese_Tibalt> Your body is a beautiful thing you should not feel embarrassed or vulnerable about
[01:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> W-what?
[01:22] <Terese_Tibalt> You said you felt vulnerable in this body
[01:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> Only because of.... him!
[01:23] <Terese_Tibalt> There is no need to feel that way
[01:23] <Terese_Tibalt> Listen, I know it seems bad
[01:24] <Terese_Tibalt> It is bad
[01:24] <Terese_Tibalt> But you can't let what happened over there to influence your actions or feelings in this timeline
[01:24] <Terese_Tibalt> That is just what Maskwraith wants
[01:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> But....
[01:25] <Terese_Tibalt> You have a beautiful body that you should feel proud of
[01:25] <Terese_Tibalt> Don't you?
[01:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> T-that's so m-much easier to say
[01:25] <Terese_Tibalt> Faerzen, nothing is easy
[01:25] <Terese_Tibalt> And it sucks
[01:26] <Terese_Tibalt> Here, let me stir up a lovely daydream for you of memories of your bedroom
[01:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> I..... e-even had this whole argument prep-p-pared for alternate Lyra and this case
[01:26] <Terese_Tibalt> Shh shh shh
[01:26] <Terese_Tibalt> You still have time to prepare it
[01:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> and I c-can't even believe it myself
[01:26] <Terese_Tibalt> Faerzen
[01:26] <Terese_Tibalt> Not now
[01:26] <Terese_Tibalt> Right now
[01:26] <Terese_Tibalt> Sleep
[01:26] <Terese_Tibalt> Later
[01:27] <Terese_Tibalt> We take on our problems
[01:27] <Terese_Tibalt> Right now though
[01:27] <Terese_Tibalt> You've had a horrible horrible week or so
[01:27] <Terese_Tibalt> You need some mental and physical beauty sleep for that body of yours
[01:28]  * Faerzen_Norstov heaves a heavy sigh of resignation and exhaustion
[01:28] <Terese_Tibalt> The different hormones may be causing mood swings, and the like you realize
[01:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'm......
[01:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'm just so done right now
[01:28]  * Faerzen_Norstov tried to stand, but falls to her knees
[01:28] <Terese_Tibalt> Honey
[01:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> J-just tell me where to sleep
[01:29] <Terese_Tibalt> The bed is right there
[01:29] <Terese_Tibalt> Lie your beautiful face and let loose your worries for a while
[01:29]  * Faerzen_Norstov drags herself over to the mattress
[01:29] <Terese_Tibalt> Only rest now
[01:30]  * Faerzen_Norstov floats herself shakily up onto the mattress and collapses
[01:30] <Terese_Tibalt> *Regent conjures up happy memories of your bedroom, and of the feeling of a gentle warm hug surrounds you*
[01:31]  * Faerzen_Norstov smiles, wrapping her wings around herself and drifting off to a well-needed sleep
[01:31] <Terese_Tibalt> Rest your pretty head now, you deserve so much better than this
[01:32] <Terese_Tibalt> Drift away to a dreamland where you can be happy and with your friends without the stress of this world
[01:32]  * Faerzen_Norstov 's breathing slowly stabilizes and slows to a regular, peaceful rhythm
[01:33] <Terese_Tibalt> Sweet dreams, and know it is  cruel how this game creates such bitter things and yet also springs to life the lovely things like you, Regent whispers
