Griffin - Yesterday at 9:13 PM
Hail.
Adytus - Yesterday at 9:13 PM
Hail!
Hey Griffin. It's been a night.
Griffin - Yesterday at 9:15 PM
So I have seen.
The cabinet's dismissed?
Adytus - Yesterday at 9:15 PM
I believe Cormac pulled that order.
Trans is dismissed though.
Griffin - Yesterday at 9:17 PM
We will get through this.
Adytus - Yesterday at 9:18 PM
Yeah, I have faith. o/
I just remembered that Grad voted against me in the elections because Trans was his "son." Do you think they have a family chat too?
Griffin - Yesterday at 9:37 PM
Nearly every family does.
Monstressor?
Adytus - Yesterday at 9:37 PM
I'm not sure what the family is.
Griffin - Yesterday at 9:38 PM
But I'm sure there is one.
Adytus - Yesterday at 9:39 PM
Yeah.
Well Grad and Trans both came up for the leak. So it may be the family. But that is just speculation.
October 17, 2016
Griffin - Today at 7:39 PM
Hail.
Adytus - Today at 7:39 PM
Hail. o/
Griffin - Today at 7:39 PM
This is not good.
Adytus - Today at 7:39 PM
No, it's not.
Griffin - Today at 7:40 PM
In the end the government depends on the Pharaoh.
We need the Pharaoh. We need Cormac.
Adytus - Today at 7:40 PM
I feel bad, and Cormac doesn't deserve any of the shit people give him.
Griffin - Today at 7:40 PM
It's all bullshit.
Adytus - Today at 7:40 PM
Maybe we can cheer him up and back into the government somehow.
Griffin - Today at 7:41 PM
How?
Adytus - Today at 7:43 PM
I'm not sure. Maybe I can type something up and have people sign it that tells him we have his back or something. A forum version of a get well card, as cheesy as that may sound.
I think I will try to appoint an entirely fresh cabinet next turn too if I can.
Griffin - Today at 7:53 PM
I have tried.
But I did not succeed.
Osiris needs the Pharaoh.
Adytus - Today at 7:55 PM
Aw. Hm, I can try to talk to him, but I'm not sure if I will be any more successful.
Do you think he will be pharaoh until next April? I worry every time he wants to resign.
Griffin - Today at 7:57 PM
I don't know.
This is what Kemi wants.
She thinks she can bully people into a corner.
But I can't find the leak and if I can't find the leak I can't fix this.
Adytus - Today at 7:59 PM
If I can help let me know! I'm going to try and find enough people that can contribute before next term so I can appoint a fresh cabinet too, and just remove anyone that could be the leak.
Griffin - Today at 8:00 PM
The problem is though we can have all the responsibilities in the world, but it doesn't mean a goddamned thing.
Adytus - Today at 8:02 PM
We can dismiss the cabinet all together, or change the government entirely to something less leaking if we really wanted to. I'm not sure what the best option would be the deal with this.
Should I talk to Cormac?
Griffin - Today at 8:06 PM
Yes.
You want to know the frank truth?
Adytus - Today at 8:06 PM
Yes.
Griffin - Today at 8:06 PM
We are crippled without a Pharaoh.
The Pharaoh is the key to government.
And we need a Pharaoh, we need Cormac.
Adytus - Today at 8:08 PM
I hope I can get him to come back.
Griffin - Today at 8:08 PM
Do what you can.
Adytus - Today at 8:08 PM
The whole region is counting on it now.
Griffin - Today at 8:08 PM
We can't go six months like this.
We may turn our heads or say otherwise, but everyone will know the truth.
Adytus - Today at 8:10 PM
If Cormac doesn't come back, and I can't get him to come back, perhaps you should talk to him about resigning if the region is on the line, and we can be hurt this badly.
Griffin - Today at 8:11 PM
I don't want to do that.
Adytus - Today at 8:11 PM
I don't want you to have to do that either.
Cormac is great.
Griffin - Today at 8:11 PM
Cormac is Pharaoh. He worked for this. He earned it.
Adytus - Today at 8:12 PM
Cormac is the only reason I'm here to begin with, and why I'm not burning away in that defender hell, Lazarus. So I will do my best to talk him out of it. o/
Griffin - Today at 8:13 PM
Do you really think abdication is the final option?
Adytus - Today at 8:14 PM
No. I would really like to keep Cormac from abdicating. I will dismiss all the viziers before that.
Griffin - Today at 8:14 PM
Please talk to him.
Whatever it takes to get hm back. He can't go like this.
him*
I don't want to have to ask him to step down.
Adytus - Today at 8:17 PM
I'll give him some time before I talk to him so he can have some time to think. I was talking to him about Kemi about an hour ago.
Griffin - Today at 8:17 PM
Kemi is getting exactly what she wants.
Whether we change viziers or not.
She knows she's the reason for all this.
Adytus, mind if I walk you through this?
Adytus - Today at 8:19 PM
Please do!
Griffin - Today at 8:20 PM
Cormac is right that's it's not just the leak. We can rotate viziers in and out, but we don't know if they're talking to Kemi or not. We're changing the government because of her. She's psychotic, she's manipulative, but she's not stupid. She can put two and two together. She knows she can push the delegate into a corner and cripple us.
This is the worst possible scenario. Cormac can't let her control the delegacy like this.
She cannot win.
Adytus - Today at 8:23 PM
I'll tell him that!
Griffin - Today at 8:23 PM
And if that doesn't work then, fuck, I'm not sure then.
Adytus - Today at 8:24 PM
I have faith we will have a solution. Hopefully it doesn't come to anything we don't want.
Griffin - Today at 8:26 PM
And if he won't come back, then maybe I'll go too because I don't think we can survive for six months like this.
The Pharaoh is the Pharaoh.
Adytus - Today at 8:28 PM
Go talk to him?
Griffin - Today at 8:28 PM
I'm not sure what to say. I'm sorry to pile this on you.
Adytus - Today at 8:28 PM
Or go too as in you'll resign too?
Please don't resign!
Griffin - Today at 8:29 PM
I'm not doing too terribly much good for Osiris in this current state.
Cormac is a friend. How the fuck do I tell a friend that they either need to come back or step down? He brought me back, he let me in, he trusted me, and helped me. But when he needs me most I can't help him when he does this.
Say what you feel Adytus, no need to hold back.
Adytus - Today at 8:33 PM
I'm not sure... This is a terrible situation, we must do our best to get through it. I'll talk to Cormac, and hopefully I can do something! He is my friend too, and I would seriously hate to see him or you leave over this.
I will try my best, but I am afraid that it may not be good enough.
And I'm nervous about what happens to Osiris after that. I really want us to do the best we can.(edited)
Griffin - Today at 8:34 PM
Kemi is holding us hostage.
I don't like to put pressure on him but the truth is he's the only one who can decide.
The longer we're like this the worse we'll be and the more emboldened she'll become.
Adytus - Today at 8:36 PM
Maybe we should both talk to him as friends.
Griffin - Today at 8:36 PM
I think that would be best, together.
You're calmer than Cormac or me right now.
Adytus - Today at 8:38 PM
I hate this happening though. Cormac deserves better than this. You both deserve better than be held hostage by someone that isn't even in the region.
Griffin - Today at 8:38 PM
I know.
But unfortunately fairness is not part of the equation.
I'm not sure if he's online.
Adytus - Today at 8:40 PM
Want me to start a group with us?
Griffin - Today at 8:40 PM
Yes, I also don't know how Discord works.
Adytus - Today at 8:40 PM
Haha I'm kind of getting the hang of it. I'm on here more than skype.
Griffin - Today at 8:46 PM
You will need to start. I'm trying find the right words.
Adytus - Today at 8:46 PM
Alright.
Griffin - Today at 8:51 PM
And?
Adytus - Today at 8:54 PM
This is hard.
Finding the right words.
Griffin - Today at 8:55 PM
Then we just tell him the truth.
Griffin - Today at 9:06 PM
I have failed.
Adytus - Today at 9:07 PM
Not yet hopefully.
This is harder than i thought it was going to be. I need to prepare myself better for these conversations in the future so I don't fail anyone again.(edited)
Griffin - Today at 9:07 PM
There's no one foot in, one foot out.
Either you're Pharaoh or you're not.
Adytus - Today at 9:11 PM
I don't know what to tell him on abdicating other than I really don't want him to do it.
Griffin - Today at 9:11 PM
I don't want him to.
But he always asked me when we talked what is best for Osiris.
So, what is best for Osiris? Osiris is what brought us together and why we're here.
Adytus - Today at 9:13 PM
Are you asking me what is best for Osiris?
Griffin - Today at 9:13 PM
Yes.  Not what's easy or best for you, or me, or Cormac, or any one individual.
Adytus - Today at 9:14 PM
"The options are to abdicate, to reduce my role, or to sit day in and day out talking to and directing a Vizier, or more than one Vizier, who is Kemi's snitch and who is actively working to destabilize Osiris."
If he can't reduce his role because it would hurt Osiris, and he does not want to continue talking to the viziers, then he has to resign. If those are our only three options.
But I seriously don't want him to resign. I love Cormac.
But that is what is best for me.
Griffin - Today at 9:15 PM
Fuck.
Then we tell him.
Six months of this would hurt Osiris and him.
We both don't want to say it but we know deep down it's true.
But we tell him together.
Adytus - Today at 9:17 PM
Alright.
This is extremely difficult.
Griffin - Today at 9:17 PM
We can do this.
Otherwise we're just players with fancy titles.
Adytus - Today at 9:18 PM
Yeah. How should we tell him together?
Griffin - Today at 9:18 PM
Tell him what's in your heart and what needs to be done.
Uhhhhhhh.
Fuck fuck fuck.
Adytus - Today at 9:30 PM
I know.
Griffin - Today at 9:30 PM
Then let him know.
Because I've said all I could.
The government will all be on you.
Do you want six months of this?
We need to find the leak.
Adytus - Today at 9:50 PM
Yeah.
Perhaps I can send false information to individual viziers.
I will probably say the same thing to Grad and Trans and see where that goes.
Griffin - Today at 9:50 PM
I have failed you.
And Osiris.
Adytus - Today at 9:51 PM
Don't be so hard on yourself.
We will get through this.
