Roland/Lily - Listless

==START==
* stardustBlockbuster began contacting lonelyCanine
stardustBlockbuster
whoa thats different
lonelyCanine
Yeah, I just
I'm not feelin' well. That's all.
stardustBlockbuster
whats up
i mean i had some serious shit to tell you
but lets talk about your feelings first
lonelyCanine
No, just go. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything.
stardustBlockbuster
well if you insist
theres problems
lonelyCanine
Alright. Trouble on Prospit?
stardustBlockbuster
a dersite took the queens ring
i dont know WHY thats problems
but i was informed
its problems
lonelyCanine
Yeah, that's fuckin' problems.
stardustBlockbuster
hows it problems
or is that "spoilers"
lonelyCanine
And the Prospitians aren't going to retort... I may have to take back some things I said to Levi.
In any case....
It's a ring of power.
stardustBlockbuster
oh like lord of the rings
lonelyCanine
Get that ring, hand it to any ol' idiot, they put it on, BOOM. They've got my face, my revolver, a cigarette, and anything else y'all put in the kernels.
stardustBlockbuster
oh so it takes our prototypings
fucking hell
that is problems
why did we even prototype anything
wouldnt it have been easier just to leave it blank and fight normal enemies
lonelyCanine
Not prototyping is disastrously. We're givin' birth here, man. Not prototyping is like not fertilizing the egg.
*disastrous. Whatever.
stardustBlockbuster
so it would have fucked us
i guess it has something to do with the genesis frog
lonelyCanine
Harder than bulky kismesis on the worst of hate dates.
stardustBlockbuster
also i know about the genesis frog now, which i assume has to do with the creation of a universe which was mentioned before
prospitarians, as it turns out, are an excellent source of information
lonelyCanine
The "baby" in the "giving birth" analogy
stardustBlockbuster
ok heres a hazardous guess
the frog
IS
the universe
crazy right
but crazier things have happened
like these jellyfish dancing around this fire
lonelyCanine
Jellyfish, huh?
stardustBlockbuster
yeah
my contorts i guess
stardustBlockbuster
ok mr grumpy guts what the fuck is up with you
i wasnt around to piss you off so it must have been something else
lonelyCanine
She's dead, which is good, I think?
I
I couldn't do it. Couldn't pull the trigger.
Christ, the blood.
stardustBlockbuster
whoa whoa whoa
Portias dead?
lonelyCanine
I'm lookin' at her corpse.
stardustBlockbuster
what the fuck happened to staying alive
lonelyCanine
She IS alive. She's just not here right now.
stardustBlockbuster
wait
what
so shes like
lonelyCanine
I couldn't pull the trigger. I didn't want to make her do it.
stardustBlockbuster
do you mean she god tiered
lonelyCanine
I can only pray that is so. I have no confirmation from Skaia on the matter. It has been infuriatingly vague on a lot of stuff.
stardustBlockbuster
is there any way we could have like
known
she god tiered?
lonelyCanine
You could have seen it on skaia. A huge heart.
I can't see from here.
stardustBlockbuster
a heart
should i ask
lonelyCanine
If she's not... If she didn't
I don't know what I'll do
stardustBlockbuster
i was a bit too busy looking down on prospit to look up at skaia
lonelyCanine
Her face... Christ...
stardustBlockbuster
and currently i cant see skaia cuz im underground
ill check with the others
christ
how am i going to explain this to everyone
lonelyCanine
You're not. Not until I can confirm everything.
I've got one issue to tie up here, then I'm flying to the Battlefield, as all sprites do.
stardustBlockbuster
"dont worry guys, the heart in the sky is just an after effect of portia killing herself and becoming a god."
whats that
lonelyCanine
I have to check for something. Something that might have been left in the void.
There may be something I can use
stardustBlockbuster
ughhh so vagueeeeeeee
i pray you find your thing
lonelyCanine
Well, the funny thing is
It's vague cause I have no clue what'll be there.
stardustBlockbuster
so its a mystery, even to you
and your spritey omniscient
lonelyCanine
Yeah. There are other things to do. I'm going to figure out everything related to God-tiering, then I'm planning a counteroffensive to get that God damn ring back.
That shouldn't have happened.
They shouldn't have stolen that ring.
stardustBlockbuster
so shits more fucked than we know
lonelyCanine
Not yet.
The Reckoning hasn't started.
We've got time.
But we're going to get that god damn ring back
It's one helluva an omelet.
And we're going to have to crack a few eggs to make it
And for eggs, read "Dersite Heads."
stardustBlockbuster
i already did some of that
well
i never killed any of them
they offed themselves
lonelyCanine
So, it wasn't just a theft.
stardustBlockbuster
but i chopped on guys nuts off
lonelyCanine
It was a minor offensive?
How many were there?
stardustBlockbuster
there were
a lot
lonelyCanine
Ball park it.
stardustBlockbuster
err
possibly more than one hundred
lonelyCanine
God damn it.
stardustBlockbuster
probably more than one hundred
lonelyCanine
Least they coulda done was make it cool, arranged some special task force.
stardustBlockbuster
definitely more than fifty
lonelyCanine
Like "four guys sneaking deep into enemy territory special forces bullshit."
stardustBlockbuster
just four?
lonelyCanine
Well
stardustBlockbuster
they would have to be the best 4
lonelyCanine
Of course.
stardustBlockbuster
do they normally just send 4
lonelyCanine
I mean, the dersites would need to have a problem, and no one else would have to be able to help.
And the Dersites would have to be able to afford it. But if all those factors lined up...
They could have hired... THE A-TEAM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyz_2DEah4o
stardustBlockbuster
why doesnt prospit have an A Team
why arent we fucking retaliating
lonelyCanine
We ARE Prospit's A-Team.
So like I said, I'm gonna plan an offensive.
stardustBlockbuster
oh
lonelyCanine
Basically,
It boils down to
1) Go to Derse
2) Kill everything
3) Get the ring back.
stardustBlockbuster
are we even strong enough to do that yet
i mean shouldnt we all hit the god tier first
lonelyCanine
You're right. I'm just a *wee bit* upset right now.
I'm not thinking clearly.
stardustBlockbuster
also are you willing to commit mass genocide against them
they seemed more sentient than your average imp
lonelyCanine
Well, I *wasn't*... till now, anyway.
lonelyCanine
Can't believe the Dersites would pull a move like that.
Foul play at its finest. Taking the ring is a cheap shot.
stardustBlockbuster
as your friendleader i forbid you from doing any brash actions until you think straight
lonelyCanine
The brash actions can wait. I feel like... I'm blaming myself for something I'm not... I dunno.
stardustBlockbuster
i mean the time for blaming yourself is over
lonelyCanine
But when I'm done, I'll make them... hurt. A lot. I'm just... I feel... angry? Sad?
stardustBlockbuster
i think you need some sort of emotional buddy
someone to vent all these feelings to
who will listen
and as a group we need to find portia
if she is god tiered she
she will be importanter
lonelyCanine
Not until you can fly.
I'll handle the Battlefield for now.
stardustBlockbuster
dude i can fly so well
im the flyest on the block
lonelyCanine
Keep your dreamself on Prospit for now.
There's... a lot happening on the Battlefield.
Most of it is slaughter.
stardustBlockbuster
shit youre right, i gotta talk to the queen
lonelyCanine
And bloodshed.
And death.
Might shoot a few rounds myself.
stardustBlockbuster
roland you might wanna talk to iris
lonelyCanine
No!
I mean,
stardustBlockbuster
on one hand you need her to help you destress
lonelyCanine
Naw. Don't feel right.
stardustBlockbuster
on the other she needs your motivation
lonelyCanine
I can't
stardustBlockbuster
roland im actually a bit afraid right now
she sounded like levi
lonelyCanine
Well, you should be afraid. God damn Dersites.
stardustBlockbuster
nah im not afraid about that
im angry about it
lonelyCanine
What are you afraid about then?
stardustBlockbuster
im afraid of iris and levi deciding they need to go off and get themselves killed by fighting some big mean motherfucker thats ten times their strength
levi im less afraid about but iris
shes not built for war
lonelyCanine
Man, what are we, morons? This is Tactics 101
God damn, just... I'll talk to them privately, but I'm makinga memo.
We have to have a talk as a team about tactics.
stardustBlockbuster
thank you
of course
i
i need to think about where we need to go from here
prospit is just about as safe as derse now
so i dont want people to just sleep willy nilly
but we still have to FIND you
lonelyCanine
Avoid combat for now. At ALL COSTS. We're in a delicate situation right now.
stardustBlockbuster
like even in our waking selves
lonelyCanine
Well,
stardustBlockbuster
grist is super fucking important
lonelyCanine
it'd be a nice bonus, but you don't HAVE TO I guess.
stardustBlockbuster
or it sounds like it
lonelyCanine
For Levi, I might just tell him to avoid combat entirely. That bastard keeps bringing himself to the brink of death in combat.
While it's REALLY sweet of him to fight like that on behalf of his friends,
stardustBlockbuster
he needs to do something else
lonelyCanine
It's dangerous, and dangerous behavior is starting to piss me off.
stardustBlockbuster
maybe talk to his conforts
lonelyCanine
Haha, I love those things.
stardustBlockbuster
mine are chill
they got me some clothes
lonelyCanine
Nice.
stardustBlockbuster
i look like a total hippy now
but
its better than my torn up rags
lonelyCanine
Alright. I'm leaving. I'm making this memo. 'Sides
Things are just getting... a little real for me.
stardustBlockbuster
yeah
i need to check out this stuff
you uh
lonelyCanine
Need to think about things. Calm down a bit.
stardustBlockbuster
stay alive
stay sane
lonelyCanine
Technically, I'm not alive to begin with.
stardustBlockbuster
and keep believing in yourself and ourselves
w/e
technicallities
lonelyCanine
I'm taking Portia's crap and seeing if sprites have hyperdrives.
stardustBlockbuster
alright
i... pray you find her
lonelyCanine
I will. One way or another.
stardustBlockbuster
catch you around broland
