Faerzen is scared of Nick

[22:12] <solemnSketcher_> are you still okay?... i am really worried about you, also... we have to talk about byron
[22:12] <visceralVanguard> <faerzen doesn't respond right away>
[22:12] <visceralVanguard> Oh, greetings, Nick!
[22:13] <visceralVanguard> How are you doing this fine day?
[22:13] <solemnSketcher_> uhhh... fine i guess?
[22:13] <solemnSketcher_> almost got killed
[22:13] <solemnSketcher_> but im getting used to it
[22:13] <visceralVanguard> Oh no!
[22:13] <solemnSketcher_> you seem.... happier than i expected
[22:13] <visceralVanguard> That certainly doesn't sound like "fine" to me, mister.
[22:13] <solemnSketcher_> not about my death obviously but...
[22:14] <visceralVanguard> I feel happier than I expected myself to feel as well.
[22:14] <solemnSketcher_> so... what happened?
[22:14] <visceralVanguard> Quite a few significant things just resolved themselves and are no longer burdens.
[22:14] <visceralVanguard> So now I feel quite liberated!
[22:14] <solemnSketcher_> oh
[22:14] <solemnSketcher_> like what?
[22:15] <solemnSketcher_> have you spoken to byron recently?
[22:15] <visceralVanguard> I almost feel like I can actually simply play this game for once without needing to feel like I need to pull the strings to make sure nobody dies, or run away from insurmountable threats, or face terrible things.
[22:16] <solemnSketcher_> oh
[22:16] <visceralVanguard> It's as though this is how the game is supposed to be.
[22:16] <solemnSketcher_> really?
[22:16] <visceralVanguard> Just some friends playing a game together, fighting monsters, and discovering adventures together
[22:16] <solemnSketcher_> everything is going fine for you then
[22:16] <solemnSketcher_> ...
[22:16] <visceralVanguard> Well, for now
[22:16] <solemnSketcher_> <me takes a while to respond>
[22:17] <visceralVanguard> Judging by how this game has been going I have absolutely no expectations of this lasting very long.
[22:17] <solemnSketcher_> i feel like you are hiding something
[22:17] <visceralVanguard> I fully expect everything to come crashing down momentarily
[22:17] <solemnSketcher_> but its okay
[22:17] <visceralVanguard> But I am trying to enjoy it while I can.
[22:17] <visceralVanguard> I think I need a break from agonizing over every little thing.
[22:17] <solemnSketcher_> so... again, have you spoken to byron recently?
[22:17] <visceralVanguard> Hiding something?
[22:17] <visceralVanguard> What do you mean?
[22:18] <visceralVanguard> Ah.
[22:18] <solemnSketcher_> must be my mind, dont pay me that much attention
[22:18] <visceralVanguard> Byron said the same thing to me as well.
[22:18] <visceralVanguard> It really is unfortunate that everything I have done so far has caused you two to have the exact same reaction
[22:18] <visceralVanguard> It's so unusual to see Faerzen actually happy about something, so something must be amiss.
[22:19] <visceralVanguard> I sincerely apologize for being such a wet blanket all the time
[22:19] <solemnSketcher_> you havent done anything wrong... but the faerzen i haev known in this few days wasn't de-stressed
[22:19] <solemnSketcher_> i quite like you being relaxed
[22:19] <visceralVanguard> I do believe it is very important, critical sometimes, to take problems seriously, plan ahead, and pick things apart
[22:19] <solemnSketcher_> dont be silly man, everything is okay for now
[22:19] <visceralVanguard> But for some reason I do not feel as though now is one of those moments
[22:20] <visceralVanguard> :)
[22:20] <solemnSketcher_> :)
[22:20] <visceralVanguard> I want to apologize for not talking to you earlier as well
[22:20] <visceralVanguard> I was rather preoccupied
[22:20] <solemnSketcher_> see? there's a smile right there
[22:20] <solemnSketcher_> oh.
[22:20] <visceralVanguard> I wanted to ensure I had set things straight before I jumped to any conclusions
[22:20] <solemnSketcher_> yeah... that's what i wanted to talk about
[22:20] <visceralVanguard> But I do have to ask you.
[22:21] <visceralVanguard> About your and Byron's altercation in my dream room.
[22:21] <visceralVanguard> Did you really say those things?
[22:21] <solemnSketcher_> <takes some time>
[22:21] <solemnSketcher_> what things?
[22:22] <visceralVanguard> For some reason, I was having a completely unrelated nightmare, but I heard your voice bleed through from time to time
[22:22] <solemnSketcher_> you heard my discussion with byron?
[22:22] <visceralVanguard> After I woke up on Prospit again, I assumed it was not a figment of my dream within a dream, but instead elements of reality seeping through.
[22:22] <visceralVanguard> No, I didn't
[22:22] <visceralVanguard> But some of the things I heard......
[22:23] <solemnSketcher_> i.. would like to know
[22:23] <visceralVanguard> I never want to hear you or Byron say them again
[22:23] <solemnSketcher_> you didn't hear the entire phrase
[22:23] <visceralVanguard> If you wake up on Prospit anytime soon, I apologize for my absence
[22:23] <solemnSketcher_> neither i got the chance to say it in its entirely
[22:23] <visceralVanguard> I woke up, and was utterly terrified
[22:23] <solemnSketcher_> blood on the bed?
[22:23] <visceralVanguard> I don't think I have ever feared for my life more
[22:24] <visceralVanguard> I ran away and am hiding
[22:24] <solemnSketcher_> that's mine... i caught a machete with my hand
[22:24] <solemnSketcher_> oh
[22:24] <solemnSketcher_> i...
[22:24] <solemnSketcher_> im sorry for causing you such fears faerzen
[22:24] <visceralVanguard> But.... I still need to ask, did you actually say some of the following phrases or was I just dreaming them?
[22:25] <solemnSketcher_> i know i kind of have a bad reputation with the whole thing about... my more violent tendencies
[22:25] <visceralVanguard> I don't remember everything exactly, but I hope I can get the main point
[22:25] <visceralVanguard> Let me see.....
[22:25] <solemnSketcher_> ...
[22:28] <visceralVanguard> Something about wiping the floor with someone's body, something about killing everybody, something about me being an ego-maniacal control freak, something about everyone being crazy
[22:29] <solemnSketcher_> ...
[22:29] <visceralVanguard> I don't think I've ever heard you so furious
[22:29] <solemnSketcher_> okay... lets start from the top
[22:29] <solemnSketcher_> i think last time, on prospit... we kind of fell asleep... in each other's arms...
[22:30] <visceralVanguard> So..... is that a yes?
[22:30] <solemnSketcher_> after i woke up i wandered around for a while
[22:30] <solemnSketcher_> im giving you a story
[22:30] <visceralVanguard> In some context, those things were said by you?
[22:30] <solemnSketcher_> and i went to hunt imps and put on the mask
[22:30] <solemnSketcher_> now, this is where it gets relevant
[22:30] <solemnSketcher_> after putting the mask on, i woke up in prospit to the pain of something in my hand
[22:30] <solemnSketcher_> a blade
[22:31] <solemnSketcher_> and on the end, holding it, byron
[22:31] <visceralVanguard> Yes, I know Byron was sent to kill both of us
[22:31] <solemnSketcher_> i catched it, disarmed him and we exchanged... furious words
[22:31] <solemnSketcher_> he tried to kill us in our sleep
[22:31] <visceralVanguard> he attempted to lie about it, but thankfully I had more information than he did and I backed him into a corner
[22:31] <solemnSketcher_> then, he tried to finish what he started and kill me
[22:32] <solemnSketcher_> but... im kind on the upper side of this situation
[22:32] <solemnSketcher_> we exchanged really furious words
[22:32] <solemnSketcher_> my vision almost turning red from the rage
[22:32] <solemnSketcher_> and then...
[22:32] <solemnSketcher_> he grabbed you
[22:33] <solemnSketcher_> he grabbed you by the neck, and pressed the blade... the same blade he tried to use to kill me, against your neck
[22:33] <solemnSketcher_> i have never felt such intense rage in my life
[22:33] <solemnSketcher_> i threatened byron
[22:34] <solemnSketcher_> but i couldn't risk anything in this situation
[22:34] <solemnSketcher_> we exchanged even more idioticly angry words at eachother
[22:34] <solemnSketcher_> and then... i just sort of... defused the situation
[22:34] <visceralVanguard> It sounds like you are describing almost every single one of your conversations so far
[22:35] <solemnSketcher_> sounds like it
[22:35] <solemnSketcher_> so like... we then calmed down
[22:35] <solemnSketcher_> and insulted each other for a while
[22:35] <solemnSketcher_> and then he fell asleep on your tower
[22:35] <solemnSketcher_> you were on the ground at this point
[22:36] <solemnSketcher_> so i carried you, put you back on your bed and just sort of... plummeted down and fell asleep next to you
[22:36] <solemnSketcher_> that's it
[22:36] <solemnSketcher_> and those insults were to byron... except for one, that was to prove a point
[22:36] <solemnSketcher_> a phrase i never ended
[22:36] <solemnSketcher_> ....
[22:37] <solemnSketcher_> are you okay?
[22:37] <visceralVanguard> Honestly?
[22:37] <visceralVanguard> No.
[22:37] <visceralVanguard> I am glad that your account of events matches what I now believe to have occurred.
[22:37] <solemnSketcher_> want to let me finish the phrase?
[22:37] <visceralVanguard> But that does not lessen the sting that any of this happened in the first place!
[22:38] <solemnSketcher_> as harmful as it may be?
[22:38] <visceralVanguard> If you would like, you may, but that particular phrase is the least of my worries.
[22:38] <visceralVanguard> Hell, it's likely even deserved.
[22:38] <solemnSketcher_> please let me...
[22:38] <visceralVanguard> It is the other ones that concern me more.
[22:38] <solemnSketcher_> its... i feel wrong thinking about what you heard
[22:39] <visceralVanguard> As wrong as it was, is what I heard not representative of the feelings you and Byron had at the moment?
[22:39] <solemnSketcher_> i.. what?
[22:40] <solemnSketcher_> i have no feeling for him
[22:40] <visceralVanguard> ?
[22:40] <visceralVanguard> Oh, I apologize, that came out incorrectly.
[22:40] <solemnSketcher_> i fucking despise every small chunk that makes his body... but i sort of respect him
[22:40] <visceralVanguard> By feelings, I meant to say the heated argument you had.
[22:41] <solemnSketcher_> im guessing he told you about the kiss in the cheek i gave him?
[22:41] <solemnSketcher_> i meant to give it like "i hate you but i will let you live because we are cool for now"
[22:41] <solemnSketcher_> but still... yeah...
[22:41] <solemnSketcher_> the argument
[22:41] <visceralVanguard> He didn't mention that specifically, but I worked it out
[22:41] <visceralVanguard> He isn't terribly great at hiding details
[22:42] <visceralVanguard> I completely understand Byron tried to kill you, and was threatening to kill me
[22:42] <solemnSketcher_> yep
[22:42] <visceralVanguard> And I appreciate that you stood up to him and worked for my safety
[22:42] <solemnSketcher_> then he started rambling about his father
[22:42] <visceralVanguard> But some of those things you said.....
[22:42] <visceralVanguard> I don't care what Byron said or did, we are all on a team here!
[22:43] <solemnSketcher_> i have noticed
[22:43] <visceralVanguard> For all we know, the death or harm of one of us may spell doom for the whole team!
[22:43] <solemnSketcher_> REALLY
[22:43] <solemnSketcher_> let me finish the phrase
[22:43] <solemnSketcher_> i wanted to deliver
[22:43] <solemnSketcher_> i know... we sort of have to... cooperate right now
[22:44] <solemnSketcher_> and....
[22:44] <solemnSketcher_> you want it or not here it goes
[22:44] <visceralVanguard> please continue if you so wish
[22:45] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <I love how Faerzen has completely managed to steal the spotlight in the beginning of the conversation, and then totally shift it away without explaining anything>
[22:46] <visceralVanguard> ((faerzen's p good at explaining things when he wants to and getting away with not explaining anything when he doesn't :P ))
[22:46] <solemnSketcher_> "megalomaniac ego control freak... faerzen? surprise surprise... she is the same faerzen (refering to him thinking about female you being different... and here's what he didn't hear) we are all messed up byron... and who in the hell would care if faerzen wants to pull a string or two? i would follow him blindly if i had to, because i trust him
[22:46] <visceralVanguard> OH FUCK WHAT IS GOING ON OWWWWWWWCDSJKLDSCJ
[22:46] <solemnSketcher_> that's.... what i meant to actually say... but when insults are flying you cant stop to give a detailed question
[22:46] <solemnSketcher_> WAIT
[22:46] <solemnSketcher_> FAERZEN?
[22:47] <solemnSketcher_> FAERZEN ARE YOU OK?
[22:47] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Was this planned by you two?>
[22:47] <visceralVanguard> <no response for a couple minutes>
[22:48] <solemnSketcher_> HELLO?!
[22:48] <solemnSketcher_> ....
[22:48] <solemnSketcher_> DEAR GOD NO... PLEASE BE OK, ANSWER AS SOON AS YOU CAN
[22:48] <solemnSketcher_> please
[22:48] <solemnSketcher_> ((yeah... i realized what was going on))
[22:49] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <You up to date on Faerzen's story?>
[22:49] <solemnSketcher_> ((yep))
[22:49] <visceralVanguard> Hello?
[22:49] <solemnSketcher_> ((i went... what the fuck? then... ah right.. wings))
[22:49] <solemnSketcher_> FAERZEN
[22:49] <solemnSketcher_> YOU OK?
[22:49] <visceralVanguard> Are you there still?
[22:49] <visceralVanguard> I... think so?
[22:49] <solemnSketcher_> YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART STOPPING ATTACK!
[22:49] <visceralVanguard> I blacked out for some reason
[22:49] <visceralVanguard> Owwwwwww, my head
[22:49] <solemnSketcher_> what happened!
[22:50] <visceralVanguard> How long..... was I out?
[22:50] <visceralVanguard> I am just going to continue lying here on the floor if it's okay.
[22:50] <solemnSketcher_> its been
[22:50] <solemnSketcher_> like an hour
[22:50] <solemnSketcher_> or two
[22:50] <solemnSketcher_> are you harmed?
[22:50] <visceralVanguard> I feel.... okay, I think?
[22:51] <solemnSketcher_> oh... goodness
[22:51] <solemnSketcher_> i dont know what i would do if something happened to you... when you left so abruptly i...
[22:51] <visceralVanguard> I feel pins and needles everywhere, but that is a common symptom of having lost consciousness
[22:51] <solemnSketcher_> ....really?
[22:52] <solemnSketcher_> mine just sort of feel like a headache and the beating of my heart in all my body
[22:52] <solemnSketcher_> but that's me
[22:52] <solemnSketcher_> you are important now
[22:52] <solemnSketcher_> what the hell just happened?
[22:52] <visceralVanguard> I found..... a shop? I don't really know what other name I would give it.
[22:53] <visceralVanguard> I purchased a beautiful piece of art and promptly blacked out
[22:53] <solemnSketcher_> how did you pay?
[22:53] <visceralVanguard> I still feel like parts of it have yet to return to my waking memory
[22:53] <visceralVanguard> I don't recall paying anything
[22:54] <solemnSketcher_> take your time
[22:54] <visceralVanguard> It was free
[22:54] <solemnSketcher_> im not going anywhere
[22:54] <solemnSketcher_> i think my leg's broken
[22:54] <solemnSketcher_> so... free?
[22:54] <solemnSketcher_> a creppy free shop with... art?
[22:54] <visceralVanguard> That pretty much exactly describes the scenario, yes
[22:55] <solemnSketcher_> and the shopkeeper?
[22:55] <visceralVanguard> To quote yours truly, "creepy"
[22:55] <solemnSketcher_> let me guess
[22:55] <solemnSketcher_> robe
[22:55] <solemnSketcher_> dark fingernails
[22:55] <solemnSketcher_> sketchy voice
[22:56] <visceralVanguard> Why do you believe it looked like that?
[22:56] <solemnSketcher_> you get used to get those sorts of vendors in my time... usually they sold trinkets... or "magical" stuff
[22:56] <solemnSketcher_> dirty shopkeepers
[22:57] <solemnSketcher_> if you tried to haggle
[22:57] <solemnSketcher_> bad luck, they dissapeared the next day
[22:57] <visceralVanguard> Interesting
[22:57] <solemnSketcher_> they were sort of... wandering... guys?
[22:57] <solemnSketcher_> like hermits?
[22:57] <solemnSketcher_> yeah
[22:58] <solemnSketcher_> if someone tried to take something from then they usually woke up with their guts on the outside
[22:58] <solemnSketcher_> but Im GLAD... like SO FUCKING GLAD you are ok
[22:59] <visceralVanguard> The shopkeeper quite explicitly said that I was perfectly at liberty to take one item without any additional payment required
[22:59] <solemnSketcher_> interesting
[22:59] <visceralVanguard> I appreciate your concern for my well-being
[22:59] <solemnSketcher_> :)
[22:59] <visceralVanguard> Although :)
[22:59] <solemnSketcher_> yes?
[22:59] <visceralVanguard> Do you mind if I reciprocate for a little while?
[23:00] <solemnSketcher_> ...s-sure?
[23:00] <visceralVanguard> Oof, let me sit up here first.
[23:00] <visceralVanguard> This is actually really quite uncomfortable.
[23:00] <solemnSketcher_> go on
[23:01] <visceralVanguard> This is going to come across as quite blunt, but I honestly do not care because I want to say it anyways.
[23:01] <visceralVanguard> It is about that mask of yours.
[23:01] <solemnSketcher_> corvo
[23:01] <visceralVanguard> I saw you wearing it again on Prospit
[23:02] <solemnSketcher_> yes...
[23:02] <solemnSketcher_> it just sort of... appeared on my face
[23:02] <visceralVanguard> It takes a great deal of mental concentration or emotional connection to an object to be able to summon it in a dream
[23:02] <visceralVanguard> To summon any object, for that matter
[23:03] <solemnSketcher_> i noticed when summoning my weapon
[23:03] <visceralVanguard> The fact that it so easily and involuntarily travels into your dreams with you is actually quite concerning
[23:03] <solemnSketcher_> ... and after this i have some questions for you
[23:03] <solemnSketcher_> you think im attached to it?
[23:03] <visceralVanguard> I have been thinking about this, and I have come up with two probable causes
[23:03] <visceralVanguard> Neither of which I like
[23:04] <solemnSketcher_> i dont like where this is heading
[23:04] <visceralVanguard> 1. The mask has some sort of consciousness or force of its own and is able to move itself into dreams or at least make it so easy you can do it subconsciously without even thinking about it
[23:04] <solemnSketcher_> i doubt it
[23:05] <visceralVanguard> 2. You have developed such a strong mental connection to the mask that it naturally travels along with you
[23:05] <solemnSketcher_> possible
[23:05] <solemnSketcher_> want to hear 3?
[23:05] <visceralVanguard> Both of these actually have the potential for very negative consequences if left unchecked
[23:05] <visceralVanguard> You have a 3?
[23:05] <visceralVanguard> Yes, please
[23:06] <solemnSketcher_> 3. i did horrible stuff for that mask... and its sort of... there in my mind forever
[23:06] <solemnSketcher_> and by that... 2 is valid
[23:06] <solemnSketcher_> but the mask itself is not a different me... i have come to the realization but a few hours ago
[23:06] <solemnSketcher_> sorry if this scares you
[23:07] <solemnSketcher_> or if im being cryptic
[23:07] <solemnSketcher_> but the doomed version of byron said that i tried to prevent "this" and failed....
[23:07] <solemnSketcher_> you know faerzen
[23:08] <solemnSketcher_> i know my demons... they are many... possibly more than i can count
[23:08] <solemnSketcher_> but i rule over them
[23:09] <solemnSketcher_> i will not be carried away by the dark part of my mind
[23:09] <solemnSketcher_> and this mask... it feeds of it
[23:09] <solemnSketcher_> it feeds from my pain and anger
[23:10] <solemnSketcher_> an attunement of my deepest thoughs
[23:10] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <You say that like it is a bad thing :P>
[23:12] <solemnSketcher_> an attunement... yes... i can hear myself better when wearing that mask, but i never let it take over, its part of me.... and that's okay... i have seen my demons, they are many, i have seen the devil... and its me
[23:12] <solemnSketcher_> a master of them
[23:13] <solemnSketcher_> their ruler, and king
[23:14] <solemnSketcher_> so, i am not afraid, of the voices in my head, because i know, i know they are just a part of me, and down the darkest road, or cheeriest travel they will always be there
[23:15] <solemnSketcher_> i am nickolai varnegs... and im not scared of my mind
[23:17] <visceralVanguard> Interesting. This is more or less what I had in mind for 2.
[23:19] <visceralVanguard> You have accepted this mask and its influence to the degree where you see it almost as a natural extension of yourself, something you are okay with and something intend to conquer
[23:19] <visceralVanguard> But this is precisely what I want to say
[23:19] <solemnSketcher_> is it wrong to feel that?
[23:19] <visceralVanguard> I think that precisely the attitude you just described can be incredibly dangerous.
[23:20] <visceralVanguard> I do not think it is wrong to feel that.
[23:20] <visceralVanguard> I think it is natural.
[23:20] <visceralVanguard> But nonetheless dangerous.
[23:20] <solemnSketcher_> how so?
[23:20] <visceralVanguard> The things you have done to get that mask, I cannot fully comprehend their atrocity
[23:20] <solemnSketcher_> terrible
[23:21] <visceralVanguard> But on the flip side, the things you have done because of that mask, I do not want to fully comprehend their atrocity
[23:21] <visceralVanguard> You say the mask feeds on your pain and anger
[23:21] <solemnSketcher_> the weight of that place is forever in me
[23:21] <visceralVanguard> But I would venture to say that it feeds on them only to return them to you
[23:22] <solemnSketcher_> good point
[23:22] <visceralVanguard> Yes, it feeds on them, but it also causes them to grow
[23:22] <visceralVanguard> An no matter how much you try to use the mask to prevent this, using it will only further the issue
[23:22] <solemnSketcher_> but holding them back would cause them to build up
[23:23] <visceralVanguard> And believing that you can control them so easily is dangerous
[23:23] <visceralVanguard> I believe we saw a glimpse of this recently on Prospit
[23:23] <visceralVanguard> You were not yourself.
[23:23] <solemnSketcher_> yes i was
[23:23] <visceralVanguard> I have never seen or hear you so furious or threatening before
[23:24] <visceralVanguard> and you even said yourself we were all lucky you were able to calm yourself down before things got out of hand
[23:24] <solemnSketcher_> saying i was not myself for being threatening or furious is....
[23:24] <solemnSketcher_> look faerzen
[23:24] <visceralVanguard> No, but that's the problem!
[23:24] <solemnSketcher_> im messed up
[23:24] <visceralVanguard> It is yourself!
[23:24] <solemnSketcher_> exactly
[23:24] <visceralVanguard> This mask only amplifies those areas of you
[23:24] <visceralVanguard> I
[23:24] <visceralVanguard> I'm not saying this mask is entirely to blame
[23:24] <visceralVanguard> We both know from your previous experiences that this isn't true
[23:25] <visceralVanguard> We all have the potential for great destruction and suffering inside of us
[23:25] <solemnSketcher_> it does not amplify... it just... provides a way to channel them into something else
[23:25] <visceralVanguard> Into what though?
[23:25] <solemnSketcher_> yes we have
[23:25] <visceralVanguard> More anger and destruction?
[23:25] <visceralVanguard> Except this time inflicted upon others?
[23:25] <solemnSketcher_> ...not necesarilly...
[23:25] <visceralVanguard> I agree with you that these emotions can most certainly be channeled into something else positive and useful
[23:26] <solemnSketcher_> ...i can see better with it, eyes like those of a bird
[23:26] <visceralVanguard> But there is *significant* risk of that not being the case and you losing the ability to control that
[23:26] <solemnSketcher_> ... i dont want that to happen
[23:27] <visceralVanguard> I have no doubt that this mask is a significant part of yourself, but I believe it is foolish to believe you can control it
[23:27] <visceralVanguard> Well, control it consistently
[23:27] <visceralVanguard> Anger and emotions inherently are irrational
[23:27] <visceralVanguard> impulsive
[23:27] <visceralVanguard> exciting
[23:27] <visceralVanguard> powerful
[23:28] <solemnSketcher_> look... there's is nothing different in how the mask handles my emotions... but it can channel them into power... all the anger i felt, it was mine, and THAT is bad
[23:28] <visceralVanguard> And I fear for the day when this mask causes you to get carried away and do something you truly regret
[23:28] <visceralVanguard> I understand that!
[23:28] <visceralVanguard> But giving your anger and emotions all of that power isn't always a good thing!
[23:29] <solemnSketcher_> ...
[23:29] <solemnSketcher_> i... i know but...
[23:29] <visceralVanguard> Think about Prospit!
[23:29] <visceralVanguard> You put yourself in check.
[23:30] <visceralVanguard> You defused the situation and handled Byron's ridiculousness
[23:30] <visceralVanguard> But the things you said
[23:30] <solemnSketcher_> look... if i had to go trough all of hell to make sure this never gets out of control
[23:30] <solemnSketcher_> ill do so
[23:30] <visceralVanguard> If you were given the power to follow through with those?
[23:30] <visceralVanguard> What is stopping you?
[23:30] <visceralVanguard> Except for yourself?
[23:30] <visceralVanguard> And what happens if just once, that fails?
[23:31] <visceralVanguard> There is no going back. What happens, happens, regardless of how much regret you have later
[23:31] <visceralVanguard> I am not doubting your sanity, your feelings, or your desire to keep this under control
[23:31] <visceralVanguard> I just want you to be careful
[23:31] <visceralVanguard> Because that mask, together with you, *is* dangerous
[23:32] <solemnSketcher_> ...
[23:32] <solemnSketcher_> ill... ill be careful faerzen
[23:32] <solemnSketcher_> dont worry
[23:32] <visceralVanguard> I'm here to talk
[23:32] <visceralVanguard> About anything
[23:33] <visceralVanguard> I know we can do this together
[23:33] <solemnSketcher_> faerzen
[23:33] <visceralVanguard> I just don't want you to get careless and think that this mask is something you can easily keep harnessed.
[23:33] <visceralVanguard> Yes?
[23:33] <solemnSketcher_> thanks you
[23:34] <visceralVanguard> <3
[23:34] <solemnSketcher_> ...
[23:34] <solemnSketcher_> <3
[23:34] <solemnSketcher_> mind if i derail this conversation a bit?
[23:35] <solemnSketcher_> eariler you mentioned feeling uncomfortable in your current position... are you on prospit?
[23:35] <visceralVanguard> I do believe I have manhandled the steering wheel for this conversation long enough, so it is only fair you get a turn. ;)
[23:35] <visceralVanguard> Right now I am awake on LOWAB
[23:36] <visceralVanguard> I blacked out and was laying facedown on the floor
[23:36] <solemnSketcher_> oh!
[23:36] <solemnSketcher_> and i guess the shopkeeper ran away with your free art?
[23:36] <visceralVanguard> No, he is still here in his shop
[23:37] <solemnSketcher_> uhhhh....
[23:37] <solemnSketcher_> then... what happened
[23:37] <visceralVanguard> I am not entirely sure?
[23:37] <visceralVanguard> He isn't saying anything
[23:37] <visceralVanguard> I am trying to remember, things are making a bit more sense now
[23:38] <solemnSketcher_> your pockets? you have everything?
[23:38] <visceralVanguard> I took the art..... he told me......
[23:38] <visceralVanguard> Wait a moment.

[23:38] <visceralVanguard> Yes, everything is still here in my sylladex.
[23:38] <visceralVanguard> Hmm.
