  1. [00:20:39] <Mackenzie> Lettuce rewind to the very early morning after the night of the jellyfish, just before arriving in Ark. Mack is awake before everyone else, before sunrise even, preparing to go work out on deck, which was totally a thing at the start of that session.
  2. [00:21:49] <Mackenzie> Mack already has his shirt off and a towel over his shoulder, but before heading up on deck, he goes to the convenient common phone and dials up Lecia. Ring ring, mofo
  3. [00:25:05] <Lecia> Lecia may or may not have to take back something she said earlier due to the way time warps! But it's of little consequence~! Ring ring, answer! "Hello, Lecia speaking! ...Is there a reason you're using this phone? I leave that one on ships in case something happens, you know."
  4. [00:32:50] <Mackenzie> "It's Mackenzie. And I'm sorry, but my phone has incidentally gotten some sea water in it, and it's no longer working. Anyway, something important is afoot anyhow. As I've known was impending since day one, my agent--in name only, she's more like my overlord--is coming to see what I've been up to. Just after my first visit there, I told her that I was dragged into a new movie, since
  5. [00:32:50] <Mackenzie> at the time that is what I believed. And soon she will be there, expecting to find me and possibly murder me. Well not literally, but she is not pleased, since she tried to call me after my phone stopped working, and presumed I had ran off and deserted. I attempted to send her an email to tell her that I would not be there for a few days, and that I might get her to stay in my hotel
  6. [00:32:50] <Mackenzie> room until I return. I... Am sorry if that was presumptuous on your part, but I've been having a hard time keeping up with this situation as well as my work."
  7. [00:32:54] <Mackenzie> "..."
  8. [00:33:00] <Mackenzie> "I may have rambled a bit."
  9. [00:41:12] <Lecia> "...Wait, you actually thought that? ...Never mind, I won't ask. Rather, your...overlord sounds terrifying, she sounds like she'd probably murder your spirit instead of you. Is there any way I can help out with that? Aside from getting you a new portable phone. One that's actually waterproofed!"
  10. [00:50:44] <Mackenzie> "I... Well the most important part is that I want to meet her first. So I can tell her everything straight-faced, and when she tells me I'm crazy, I can show her the real thing. I just... i want her to understand it the way I did. Being told everything, believing it couldn't possibly be real, and then realizing that it's true. That way I might actually win her support."
  11. [00:59:31] <Lecia> "Hmmm...I see, I see! I suppose that brings up the question as to how much proof she needs...and I don't really know the answer to that one, so what do you suppose I gotta do~?"
  12. [01:08:00] <Mackenzie> "I'm... Not sure."
  13. [01:09:33] <Lecia> "On a scale of 1 to 10?"
  14. [01:12:36] <Mackenzie> "A scale of how unsure I am?"
  15. [01:14:04] <Lecia> "Nah, a rough scale of how much it might take. If you absolutely seriously don't have any idea whatsoever at all period, just say 10."
  16. [01:16:53] <Mackenzie> "Maybe a 4 or 5. She's a reasonable woman, but I don't think she'd be likely to believe me after how I've already aggravated her. I still don't know if she'll react favorably even after she understands."
  17. [01:21:27] <Lecia> "Hmmm...I see. ...You know what, I guess it didn't matter what you said, I'd like to see her for myself! And make sure she doesn't eat your soul. If that's alright, I mean."
  18. [01:22:24] <Mackenzie> "I think Med might eat it before she gets the chance."
  19. [01:24:43] <Lecia> The timeline trembles. "Well, on the off chance she doesn't!"
  20. [01:29:14] <Mackenzie> "She's revealed that she has been interested in me for a while. I think her defenses went down a bit after the explosion in the restaurant, and the encounter with teh ghost jellyfish. When we're not in the middle of a mission and after I'm done begging for my life from my employer, I intend to get to the bottom of her recent instability."
  21. [01:33:04] <Lecia> The timeline contorts strangely, but actually seems to accept these changes. "Hmm...If you do that, well, good luck. Cause that dark aura she has is...well, similar to that of a Shadow Pokemon for a reason! If you're gonna return those feelings of interest, do it with care!"
  22. [01:33:41] <Lecia> "...And, well, make sure you know why she's interested in you. You're a movie star, right? Right!"
  23. [01:36:33] <Mackenzie> "More or less. I'm not expecting some magical true love to occur. And I hope she won't mind if I put work first, since... More often than not it turns out to be an actual life or death situation."
  24. [01:40:35] <Lecia> "Of course, but, well, don't mess it up horribly and it should work out, I guess! As for the work...well, you're definitely getting paid more than the standard wage, that's for sure! Hopefully she'll understand~"
  25. [01:41:24] <Lecia> Lecia decides that IF IT'S MED, MACKENZIE DIDN'T CALL. The timeline stops being bent out of shape!
  26. [01:41:55] <Roara> 3d6+6 intuit the fact mack had called lecia
  27. [01:41:56] <DiceMaid-9001> Roara, intuit the fact mack had called lecia: 14 [3d6=3,2,3]
  28. [01:43:22] <Lecia> You'd probably need a high roll to intuit something like that with no good reason! You're sleeping right now, after all.
  29. [01:45:09] <Roara> eh, if it's before sunrise, probably! but also i meant during the phone call with lecia, duuhhh
  30. [01:45:33] <Lecia> Same difference!
  31. [02:22:52] <Mackenzie> "Well... I suppose I've probably said more than I ought to anyway. I need to go get ready for our visit to Ark. Thanks for understanding about all this. It's been really weighing down on my mind lately."
  32. [02:26:37] <Lecia> "It's alright! You're working hard, it wouldn't be right not to listen! If you could arrange a time and place for me to arrive, that'd be great too~"
  33. [02:32:43] <Mackenzie> "Well I suppose once we're done in Ark we'll be heading to HQ if for nothing else than to meet Jennifer and fight for our lives, so I suppose we'll be meeting then."
  34. [02:35:14] <Lecia> "Oh, that works too! I'll see you then, then! Don't die in the meantime, she'd probably kill you if you do!"
  35. [02:35:18] <Lecia> "Somehow!"
  36. [02:37:31] <Mackenzie> "Well, I've still got enough beginner's luck to ride on for another few entire crews of pirates, so I'm not worried about it." No sarcasm at all, no sir or madam.
  37. [02:41:06] <Lecia> Well, he is a movie star with the inability to properly perceive, might as well take it at face value. "Well, I suppose I won't worry either, then! Good luck with that...everything!"
  38. [02:41:39] <Mackenzie> "See you soon."
  39. [02:42:01] <Mackenzie> Elegant click.
