  1. 3:05:05 PM@abrasiveCaliginist ==START!==
  2. 3:05:13 PM* abrasiveCaliginist began espering arkeUnbound.
  3. 3:05:21 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Vera, something's come up on Prospit.
  4. 3:05:39 PM@abrasiveCaliginist I'm afraid we won't be able to be as overt about things at the ball.
  5. 3:06:06 PMarkeUnbound Hey you
  6. 3:06:11 PMarkeUnbound What happened?
  7. 3:06:35 PM@abrasiveCaliginist The queen is... she's extorting me by threatening to harm a little girl I've grown attached to if I misbehave.
  8. 3:07:30 PM@abrasiveCaliginist I've... I've gotten her involved, and it never should have been so, but now that it's happened, I feel responsible for making sure nothing happens to her.
  9. 3:08:20 PMarkeUnbound Oh
  10. 3:08:31 PMarkeUnbound Threatning little girls is pretty villainous
  11. 3:08:38 PMarkeUnbound You want me to try and swoop in to rescue her?
  12. 3:08:53 PM@abrasiveCaliginist No, that won't be necessary. We'll just have to slow down a bit and take more care.
  13. 3:09:07 PM@abrasiveCaliginist That means no face-kicking at the ball, as hilarious as that would have been.
  14. 3:09:23 PMarkeUnboundWell
  15. 3:09:27 PMarkeUnbound I can still be overt, right?
  16. 3:09:47 PM@abrasiveCaliginist No. It's a threat to me, and I believe the expectation is that I keep you two in line, too.
  17. 3:10:14 PM@abrasiveCaliginist The thing is, if she takes or harms that girl, she's removed her only buffer.
  18. 3:10:31 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Which would be great, but I'm not the sort of calculating monster that would let a little girl die to justify a crusade.
  19. 3:10:42 PMarkeUnbound Also you still don't have guns.
  20. 3:10:48 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Right.
  21. 3:11:05 PM@abrasiveCaliginist I thought I had katanas, but it turns out that those things are... they're fucking handles glued to empty sheaths.
  22. 3:11:21 PMarkeUnbound Awwww.
  23. 3:11:25 PMarkeUnbound That would have been so cool
  24. 3:11:29 PM@abrasiveCaliginist I KNOW RIGHT?!
  25. 3:11:40 PMarkeUnbound Thats not just a normal crime
  26. 3:11:46 PM@abrasiveCaliginist I might have an idea. I doubt it'll work, but I might have an idea.
  27. 3:11:47 PMarkeUnbound that's a crime against amazing heroics.
  28. 3:11:57 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Yes, but you should have seen the heist I pulled to get 'em.
  29. 3:11:57 PMarkeUnbound Should I be worried?
  30. 3:12:03 PM@abrasiveCaliginist I was the smoothest operator ever.
  31. 3:12:29 PM@abrasiveCaliginist No, you shouldn't be worried. You might be armed fairly soon. MIGHT. Don't be too optimistic.
  32. 3:12:41 PMarkeUnbound YES
  33. 3:12:53 PMarkeUnbound I am so ready to punch some marshmellows and raise a ruckus!
  34. 3:12:59 PMarkeUnbound So ready Harken
  35. 3:13:03 PM@abrasiveCaliginist You'd be slicing.
  36. 3:13:04 PMarkeUnbound Like you don't even know.
  37. 3:13:17 PM@abrasiveCaliginist I know a katana isn't your weapon, but it'd be better than nothing.
  38. 3:13:33 PMarkeUnbound Guh
  39. 3:13:40 PMarkeUnbound can't you just get rid of these kid gloves?
  40. 3:13:40 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Vera.
  41. 3:13:46 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Do you have any idea
  42. 3:13:51 PM@abrasiveCaliginist What incredible things you can pull
  43. 3:13:54 PM@abrasiveCaliginist With a katana,
  44. 3:14:03 PM@abrasiveCaliginist And either incredible stylishness or super speed?
  45. 3:14:15 PMarkeUnbound Can it at least be a giant katana?
  46. 3:15:03 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Maybe. None of the ones I filched struck me as giant.
  47. 3:15:10 PM@abrasiveCaliginist But I can at least promise you two hands.
  48. 3:15:52 PMarkeUnbound Close enough.
  49. 3:15:57 PM@abrasiveCaliginist So, in review:
  50. 3:15:58 PMarkeUnbound I guess a heroine needs to make do!
  51. 3:16:02 PM@abrasiveCaliginist No facekicking.
  52. 3:16:15 PMarkeUnbound Can do.
  53. 3:16:17 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Don't just roll over, but do take care not to get caught.
  54. 3:16:23 PM@abrasiveCaliginist And...
  55. 3:16:33 PMarkeUnbound I mean, I can just go do ball things.
  56. 3:16:35 PMarkeUnbound More or less
  57. 3:16:37 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Well, what if you did...
  58. 3:16:49 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Ah, never mind. It's too farfetched.
  59. 3:17:03 PMarkeUnbound What?
  60. 3:17:04 PMarkeUnbound Tell me!
  61. 3:17:25 PM@abrasiveCaliginist What if you said yes?
  62. 3:17:36 PMarkeUnbound Yes to what?
  63. 3:18:11 PM@abrasiveCaliginist I'm gonna propose to you, right? What if you said yes, and we made our big spectacle that way?
  64. 3:18:31 PM@abrasiveCaliginist I can't actually ask you to do that, though.
  65. 3:19:21 PMarkeUnboundUh
  66. 3:19:30 PMarkeUnbound You mean while Innana snuck around.
  67. 3:19:47 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Maybe. I'm going to discuss this with her, too.
  68. 3:20:08 PMarkeUnbound I'll think about it.
  69. 3:20:10 PM@abrasiveCaliginist The ring's been fitted to you, by the way. The jeweler seemed terribly surprised by my request, but I think she's the only one who knows.
  70. 3:20:23 PM@abrasiveCaliginist So it should come as a big surprise to everyone.
  71. 3:20:30 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Very dramatic, and very cool.
  72. 3:21:42 PM@abrasiveCaliginist But I digress; how long until you get to us? We're getting antsy, and extremely weary of the ass droids.
  73. 3:22:12 PMarkeUnbound I dunno!
  74. 3:22:14 PMarkeUnbound Soon
  75. 3:22:15 PMarkeUnbound ish?
  76. 3:22:20 PMarkeUnbound I have pirate girls to outfit!
  77. 3:22:25 PMarkeUnbound And punching.
  78. 3:22:27 PMarkeUnbound Lots of punching.
  79. 3:22:37 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Something in my heart of hearts doesn't believe that that will take anything less than an eternity.
  80. 3:22:52 PMarkeUnbound Then you clearly haven't seen me fight.
  81. 3:23:00 PMarkeUnbound I got this :D
  82. 3:23:07 PM@abrasiveCaliginist If you say so.
  83. 3:23:21 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Someday, I ought to show you how *I* fight. It's a helluva hoot to watch.
  84. 3:24:16 PMarkeUnboundLots of bullets?
  85. 3:24:20 PMarkeUnbound Ive seen the matrix.
  86. 3:24:23 PMarkeUnbound Oh gosh
  87. 3:24:25 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Oh yes. And swords soon, too.
  88. 3:24:28 PMarkeUnbound I should show you the matrix.
  89. 3:24:37 PMarkeUnboundYou need to come to movie night.
  90. 3:24:52 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Sure. You're a helluva long way away, but I build up pretty steadily.
  91. 3:25:22 PM@abrasiveCaliginist The trick is to invest in portions. Ask your server's sprite if they can sort of watch your grist cache and build you up with a portion of all your build grist earned.
  92. 3:25:36 PM@abrasiveCaliginist My percentage is 40 percent. It works out really nicely.
  93. 3:25:43 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Cerxes is very helpful in this way.
  94. 3:26:17 PMarkeUnbound Uh well
  95. 3:26:20 PMarkeUnbound Mine doesn't really talk.
  96. 3:26:27 PMarkeUnbound But Lexi's big brother is helping so its fine.
  97. 3:26:29 PM@abrasiveCaliginist No, your server's sprite.
  98. 3:26:38 PMarkeUnboundOhhh
  99. 3:26:39 PM@abrasiveCaliginist That shitty, slutty demon with a huge sword.
  100. 3:26:51 PMarkeUnbound Not Lexi's brother?
  101. 3:26:53 PMarkeUnbound Hes pretty cool
  102. 3:26:56 PMarkeUnbound A little wet.
  103. 3:26:58 PMarkeUnbound But still.
  104. 3:27:06 PM@abrasiveCaliginist He's pretty cool, yeah. I'm gonna get him to teach me how to sword pretty soon.
  105. 3:27:20 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Winona wants me to head up and help her cope with... something. I'm too lazy to dig up what.
  106. 3:27:31 PM@abrasiveCaliginist So before that I'll get him to teach me the ways of the blade.
  107. 3:27:42 PM@abrasiveCaliginist It's gonna be so.
  108. 3:27:44 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Frickin'.
  109. 3:27:47 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Cool!
  110. 3:27:55 PMarkeUnbound Is Nona feeling bad?
  111. 3:28:02 PM@abrasiveCaliginist I think so.
  112. 3:28:07 PMarkeUnbound I'm on the case!
  113. 3:28:12 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Nah, nah, I got it.
  114. 3:28:18 PM@abrasiveCaliginist She's my matesprit, and I can handle it.
  115. 3:29:11 PMarkeUnbound Oh did you two settle on a romance square thing
  116. 3:29:15 PMarkeUnboundCongratulations!
  117. 3:29:55 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Nah! Innana is still after her and she hasn't exactly said no.
  118. 3:30:18 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Innana tried to goad me about it not too long ago, but I thought it was really hypocritical of her to do so, so I just let it lie.
  119. 3:30:32 PMarkeUnbound So she isnt your matesprit really?
  120. 3:30:51 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Well, she is.
  121. 3:30:55 PM@abrasiveCaliginist She's also Innana's matesprit.
  122. 3:31:18 PMarkeUnbound I thought that wasn't how it worked?
  123. 3:31:20 PM@abrasiveCaliginist It's a little irritating that she doesn't seem to have the bravery to choose, or the heart I guess (I imagine the one refused will be terribly disappointed).
  124. 3:31:21 PMarkeUnbound I don't get troll romance.
  125. 3:31:36 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Well, there are a few bad practices regarding troll romance.
  126. 3:31:50 PM@abrasiveCaliginist One is having the same person occupy two of your quadrants.
  127. 3:31:57 PM@abrasiveCaliginist The other is having two people in one quadrant.
  128. 3:32:06 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Nona is currently doing the later.
  129. 3:32:25 PMarkeUnbound I should really talk to her huh...
  130. 3:33:25 PM@abrasiveCaliginist Thing is, though, I'm feeling pretty zen about all of this right now...
  131. 3:33:29 PM@abrasiveCaliginist I dunno.
