* Morf is now known as Scarlet
* Scarlet comes through AutumnLeaf's bedroom wall with a drill
<AutumnLeaf> What the fu-
<AutumnLeaf> Hi Scarlet o.o
<AutumnLeaf> What's that for?
* Scarlet throws the drill aside
<Scarlet> Oh I'm just mining for mana.
<Scarlet> Say Leaf, who were those people who visited you last night? o_o
<Scarlet> Did they have anything important to say? I assume not since I wasn't informed.
<AutumnLeaf> Oh. Er, well, those people last night were looking for information on the one who attacked me
<AutumnLeaf> They're investigators of sorts and they've been pursuing him for a while
<Scarlet> Weren't you attacked by like six people?
* Scarlet slides her laptop out of her shoulder satchel and sets it down, tapping along on it and taking notes
<AutumnLeaf> They were referring to the one who punched me and nearly stopped my heart, if you must know
<Scarlet> Would you prefer that I not? '-'
<AutumnLeaf> No, it's not that, it's... okay, you stormed in here with a power drill and I am understandably a little on edge after recent events
<AutumnLeaf> Are you planning on pursuing him, too?
<Scarlet> I'm keeping myself focused on what Umbra tasked me to do, so not immediately, no. That said, I've been entirely out of the loop for so long that I lack basic understanding of most of what is happening with this situation.
<AutumnLeaf> Mmh, all right, but I trust you'll keep everything confidential, yes?
<AutumnLeaf> The main assassin and the one currently being targeted is known as Straw Man, though he apparently also goes by the moniker Vital Spirit. From what we know, he was hired by the bandit kings to kill me and steal my soul, and his method of doing so was first to place some sort of grip on my heart, then use a kill switch to stop it entirely
<AutumnLeaf> He managed to place his grip, but Salamenace and Namuzkil were able to fight him off before he could pull the trigger, and they took me to a hospital
<AutumnLeaf> While I was there, Straw Man came to finish the job, but he was once again fought off, and refused to complete his task because of some moral code of not causing chaos in places of healing, the hospital in this case
<AutumnLeaf> so he lost his grip and now he's on the run
<Scarlet> Am I to understand that you are not free of a potential 'triggering' event unless he re-ups his ability?
<Scarlet> *now free
<AutumnLeaf> Yes, that's right
<Scarlet> Good. And the others?
<AutumnLeaf> The others?
<Scarlet> The other assassins? There were others, right?

* KeetieSleepie is now known as Umbra
<AutumnLeaf> ...hm?
<AutumnLeaf> Hold on, I think Umbra just came home
* AutumnLeaf walks to the door
<AutumnLeaf> Umbra? Could you come up here, please?
* Umbra froze and she blinked. She nodded and closed the door behind her with a kick and headed on inside, her cloak floating to the hall tree before she followed her husband
<Umbra> what is it love?
<AutumnLeaf> Scarlet is here and she wants to know of what happened with Straw Man
<Umbra> ...that is a good question, what DID happen with the straw man love?
<Scarlet> Hi adopted daughter! I'm here to pester you about not calling me more.
<Scarlet> (Okay so before this starts I need to get a shower and lunch, and I will do so at a rapid pace, because I need to catch up)
<AutumnLeaf> (alright, and I will go take more laundry out of the dryer)
<Scarlet> (FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFAST)
* gatbreakfast has quit (Quit: We await your return, Warrior.)
<AutumnLeaf> (and back)
<Scarlet> (BACK)
<Scarlet> Hi adopted daughter! I'm here to pester you about not calling me more.
<Umbra> hello mother! How was your evening? did you bring something to eat?
<Scarlet> It was fine, and no, sorry.
<AutumnLeaf> Yes, she's here because she'd like information about what happened with the assassin
<Scarlet> And uh... everything else.
<Scarlet> I cannot begin to express to you how truly behind I am, but if I were to make an analogy, if this Egypt stuff was compared to all of Equestria's history, I'd be in the Jurassic. :|
<Umbra> ah...well..
* Umbra waved a hoof to the kitchen table
<Umbra> have a seat, let us bring you up to speed my darling mother
* AutumnLeaf nodded
<AutumnLeaf> Yes, you shouldn't be kept in the dark any longer
* Scarlet runs over to the kitchen table and scrambles to get up into her seat as quickly as possible
* Umbra joined her and looked to her husband
<Umbra> ...where to begin?
<AutumnLeaf> Well...
<AutumnLeaf> Scarlet, do you know who the Sunborn is?
<Umbra> a good place to start
<Scarlet> I know that you're the reincarnation of an Egyptian Pharaoh, you were killed by some no-reason-bandits in a past life but they bungled things up and your soul escaped or whatever.
<Umbra> ...mostly correct
<AutumnLeaf> Kind of, yes
<Scarlet> There's that one lady who is... I thinnnnnk a reincarnation of your past ladyfriend as well. Or is she just her but in the future?
<Scarlet> I mean, the latter's a stretch, but uh... it happens -u-
<AutumnLeaf> She's more or less a reincarnation of a past Accountable Moon, or wife to the Sunborn
<AutumnLeaf> Neith is her name
<AutumnLeaf> For whatever reason, the bandit kings, after having been dormant since the fall of the Egyptian pantheon, have re-emerged, and they need Pharaoh's soul to complete their ascension
<Umbra> He isn't just a reincarnated pharoah, he is a god, Ra specifically. He reincarnates every time he dies. In the past He destroyed the bandit tribes that were roaming his land, but he missed a few and they somehow found a way to resist the powers of the sunborn. They ended up slaying him, but a servant fled with his soul and it was allowed to travel on to the next life before the bandits caught it. They waited for his soul to
<Umbra> reincarnate and eventually, autumn returned to egypt to learn of his life and past and...
<Umbra> ...that triggered events
* AutumnLeaf sighs
<Umbra> they want the soul of the sunborn to rule egypt and perhaps even lands beyond, by using the power of Ra which is intrinsically tied to the land of egypt
<AutumnLeaf> Yes, apparently I traveled too close to the hornet's nest
* Trotsky (Trotsky@you.are.already.trotskied) has joined
<ChanServ> [Trotsky] Everyone is an Idiot except me *Squidward laugh*
<Scarlet> I'm guessing they might also want revenge for having their tribes wiped out, yeahuh?
<Umbra> perhaps? It has been an extremely long time
<AutumnLeaf> They wiped us out, not the other way 'round
* Umbra sighed and leaned back
<AutumnLeaf> Without the soul, their plans were doomed to fail and they simply went into hibernation while the land around them turned into a decaying sandy wasteland
<Umbra> not quite...
<Umbra> they laid other plans
<Umbra> they have an army of what I believe to be undead
<Umbra> they were waiting for us when we escaped the bandits the first time
<Umbra> and they have taken control of egypt in several ways, though not in any official capacity
<Umbra> they have an army, they have weapons, they have mercenaries and spies, and they have assassins
<Scarlet> You said that the god living inside of Leaf's chest destroyed the bandit tribes that were 'roaming his land', tho.
<Umbra> I did
<Umbra> how they got these new followers or their undead I cannot say
<Scarlet> Thaaaat's what I was referring to.
<Scarlet> Well I mean, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the folks who are reanimating themselves are probably some sorta neck-ro-mancery thing.
<Scarlet> But hey, undead, that's some good intel, I wasn't aware.
* Umbra got up and she began to pace
<Umbra> ...somewhat
<Umbra> ...they do have some kind of undead
<Umbra> but they have living allies too
* Jack-o-phone has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<AutumnLeaf> Hired help, yes
<Myrtle> > Straw Man leans in through the window and waves his wiggly noodle arm, then leans out again :D
<AutumnLeaf> Like the Straw Man who attacked me in the park
<Scarlet> Yup, probably some merc group.
* Jack-o-phone (androirc@172.58.llw.shl) has joined
<Umbra> there is a mercenary company in egypt, the desert sands, they are the primary defenders of egypt, and they have a huge amount of public support
<Umbra> they are also working under the bandit kings
<Umbra> and that is the only group we know of
<Umbra> they have other allies...
* Umbra looked to Scarlet
<Umbra> you have heard of Cambio's curse?
<Umbra> the one that cursed him is also a part of these bandit kings group
<Umbra> a cult of some kind
<Umbra> as you can see, Autumn is quite the prize, and I don't mean in the way I view him, for those with dark intent, the soul of a god is a temptation that is hard to resist
<Scarlet> Uhhh, Umbra, I'm out of the loop? I wasn't aware that Cam is cursed.
<Umbra> oh, yes he is cursed
<Scarlet> I mean, I thought he might already be, since he's like, 1/57th demon, 1/34th alien, and maybe 1/96th three-toed sloth.
<Scarlet> Like, he might be cursed with respiratory issues like a bulldog or something?
<AutumnLeaf> No, no
<AutumnLeaf> He was petrified, as was Shansai
<Cotton> > No Autumn wait...
<Cotton> > she might be onto something
<Umbra> it is some kind of mirror curse. We aren't certain exactly what it does, but in general terms it is a spying curse, either he can be seen, or they can somehow see through his eyes
<Umbra> we aren't entirely sure how it works
<Scarlet> > If you think about it, a half-Great Dane, half-Chihuahua mix is basically just a walking curse
<AutumnLeaf> have any steps been made to have the curse lifted?
<Scarlet> ...
<Scarlet> Oh JESUS CHRIST
<Scarlet> Oh my FUCK that's OHHHH NO
<Scarlet> CAMBIO got afflicted with that?! Fuck fuck fuck fuck
<AutumnLeaf> Whoa, whoa, relax!
<Scarlet> Relax?!
<Scarlet> Are you insane?!
<AutumnLeaf> I think even Cambio can realize when he needs to start putting some thought into his actions
<Scarlet> That's like having that curse placed on NIGHTCRAWLER, but Nightcrawler is also half Xavier!
<Umbra> {...that's a comic book character, right?}
<AutumnLeaf> ...but yes
<AutumnLeaf> {I think so? I'll need to ask Keet later}
<AutumnLeaf> That should probably be lifted
<AutumnLeaf> As soon as possible
<Scarlet> YES O~O
<Scarlet> Oh god can it like, learn stuff he already KNOWS?! Shit, we're FUCKED
* Thessa has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
<Scarlet> GyyYYYYeeeEEEEEGHHHH
* Scarlet slams her elbows onto the tabletop and grabs her head, squeezing on its sides
* Ayla is now known as Shansai
<Umbra> deep breaths mother, deep breaths
<AutumnLeaf> I don't think it can read his mind, Scarlet
<AutumnLeaf> ...and heck
<AutumnLeaf> I can do the same thing
<AutumnLeaf> One of the spells I have learned through my training with Neith allows me to essentially project my sight elsewhere, including through the eyes of someone closeby
<AutumnLeaf> but that's it. I can't hear what they're saying or read their thoughts
<Scarlet> That's soooo creepyyyyy... =~=
<Scarlet> Ugh. Magic.
* Scarlet rights herself.
<AutumnLeaf> says the mare capable of turning herself into a helicopter
<Umbra> among othe rthings
<Scarlet> Okay, so the person who can forcibly read and change emotions in others and has some sort of familial connection to literally everyone in Canterlot is a Palantir for Sauron, got it.
<Scarlet> And hey, my helicopter thing isn't magic, it's end-times power.
<Scarlet> It's different, 'cuz I like it.
<AutumnLeaf> Po-tay-to, po-tah-to
<AutumnLeaf> In any case...
<AutumnLeaf> Umbra here is thinking of ways to fight back
<Umbra> ...yes
<Umbra> Now, mother has already been recruited
<Umbra> as has blueblood
<Umbra> Blueblood is going as an official diplomat and will be my ears in their embassies
<Umbra> Mother is going to be commanding my forces on the ground when I get her targets
<Umbra> but for now? We must drive out this assassin
<Umbra> that...is the problem at the moment
* Blueblood 's little soldier man song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQRC1lYpQ8c
<Umbra> Now, the public is aware of the presence of assassins and they are looking for anyone who is unusual or stands out in a crowd, this is putting pressure on our (oh hey blueblood! I didn't know you were here) killer to force him to be sloppy
* Blueblood wave [ouo]/ )
<Umbra> (you can join the scene if you wish)
<Scarlet> Ayup.
<Umbra> and now we know more
* Umbra nodded to Autumn
<Umbra> Straw man was your thing, want to pick up here?
<AutumnLeaf> Yes. I've already explained to her who Straw Man was and why he was after me
<AutumnLeaf> He, and anyone else coming after me, all have the same end goal: to claim my soul and return it to Egypt
<AutumnLeaf> As such, I, well, I won't exactly be going outside much seeing as how I can't even walk to the park without being assaulted
<AutumnLeaf> and if I do leave, Neith will ensure I have protection
<Scarlet> Alright, so a hired gun. And yeah that kinda sucks, but such is the way of things I guess.
<AutumnLeaf> It is...
* AutumnLeaf slumps his head onto the table
<AutumnLeaf> It sure is.
<AutumnLeaf> but whatever
<AutumnLeaf> Once the assassin is caught and removed, then we can start taking the fight to them, and for me, that means learning more from Neith
* Blueblood softly gasps
<Blueblood> Is that the sound of a downtrodden, demoralized, despondent and otherwise distressed table-targeted head-thump I hear!?
<AutumnLeaf> It sure is.
* Blueblood swings in from around the corner
<Scarlet> Heyo, Blueblood.
<Blueblood> Well it's a good thing I brought coffee then. u.u https://i.pinimg.com/originals/07/b0/95/07b0954f8197901072a898f16b94da4d.jpg
<AutumnLeaf> Coffee sounds nice right now, actually. Thanks
<Umbra> coffee? excellent
<AutumnLeaf> You've done us a great service, Future Uriel
<Blueblood> My, tall praise! ^^'
<Scarlet> Woo!
* Blueblood passes out coffee
* Scarlet takes hers and uncaps it, letting it cool faster
<AutumnLeaf> Good of you to join us. We were speaking about you-know-what
<Blueblood> Now, I believe I overheard there was a sellsword, slinking about suspiciously in our safe, sanctified city streets? Stabbing the citizenry?
* Umbra chuckled
<Umbra> {it is uncanny how much Uriel looks like him}
<AutumnLeaf> There is, yes, and he is still at large and being pursued as we speak
* Scarlet nods
* Jack-o-phone pokes head in maybe
* Blueblood sips his coffee
<Blueblood> Any leads?
* Byakhee (IceChat9@35.22.xms.pqy) has joined
<AutumnLeaf> None so far as I know. I haven't heard anything
<Umbra> he hasn't struck again...yet
<Umbra> but he has taken the money from the bandit kings
<Umbra> so I imagine he will try again soon
<Umbra> and...we know some new information
<Umbra> have you ever heard of the world government?
* Blueblood ...would have!
* Jack-o-phone flops "world what now"
<Blueblood> Riiiight the world government the government specifically for governing worldly the world's government
<Umbra> (basically? Interpol with a bit more security and turned more towards the fantastical interpertation)
<Jack-o-phone> Oh right.. them
<AutumnLeaf> They've been after Straw Man for a while now
<Scarlet> Hmm
<AutumnLeaf> So it's nice to know that I have some allies that aren't entirely in my inner circle
* Jack-o-phone salutes Leaf
<AutumnLeaf> Eh?
<AutumnLeaf> Oh, Jack. Do you have any plans for this?
* Umbra blinks
<Umbra> {...how do they get in?}
<Umbra> anyway...
<Umbra> the world government...
<Jack-o-phone> I just want to be involved again. I was on a long hiatus on my home island
<Umbra> The Straw Man was an agent of theirs
<Umbra> he was almost at the top of their ranking system, he was about to be promoted from second tier to top, when he suddenly just...left
<Umbra> and took some of their restricted fighting techniques with him
<Umbra> that is what he has been using on Autumn and those around him
<Umbra> and that is also why we have a world government airship in our skydock
<Umbra> two of their officials are here to help us track him down
<Umbra> we don't know the straw man's true name, but we do have an alias of his; Vital Spirit
<AutumnLeaf> Well, Jack, if you want to make yourself useful, you could help track down Straw Man
<Scarlet> If.
<Jack-o-phone> I can do that. Takes an assassin to catch an assassin
<Umbra> you're an assassin?
<Scarlet> \: |
<Blueblood> You're surprised?
<Blueblood> I am also an assassin. u.u
<AutumnLeaf> I thought you were some sort of big hero in Neighpon
<Umbra> now I KNOW that is not true
<AutumnLeaf> and come now, Prince
<AutumnLeaf> You're way too sparkly to lurk in the shadows
* Blueblood puts on a ninja headband
<Blueblood> You know nothing of my elite clan the village hidden in the chest fluff O.O
<Jack-o-phone> Never talked about my family history haven't I
<Umbra> ...
* Umbra started to chuckle
<Umbra> that sounds quite endearing
<AutumnLeaf> Okay then, Jack. Please indulge us
* Scarlet sits forwards and rests her chin on her hooves
<Scarlet> Yes. :)
<AutumnLeaf> How does your family history relate to the task at hand?
<Jack-o-phone> The hassasins of Masyaf. Those are my ancestors
<AutumnLeaf> ...and what about you?
<Scarlet> Oh my. I see, I see. So what does that mean, Carl?
<Jack-o-phone> Grandmother trained me when was young. Additional training in the military
* Salasleep has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
<Umbra> ...I have a different question
<Umbra> how will you track this assassin?
<Scarlet> No no no.
* Scarlet sets a hoof on Umbra's shoulder
<Scarlet> He shouldn't reveal his secret assassin jutsu.
* Salasleep (androirc@73.85.tzu.yzl) has joined
<Jack-o-phone> Predicting his next move would be a good start
<Scarlet> Brilliant. That's exactly the sort of tactics that an assassin would use.
<AutumnLeaf> Er... yes
<Umbra> alright Jack, if you want to take on this Assassin then you may go ahead
<Scarlet> I think we'd all appreciate you apprehending the Straw Man, jack.
<Scarlet> You should get on that right now!
<AutumnLeaf> Please, another pair of hooves is appreciated
<Scarlet> Absolutely! You're very great.
<AutumnLeaf> but be warned that the Straw Man is very dangerous
<AutumnLeaf> Simple lurking won't be enough to apprehend him, unless he foolishly completely drops his guard
<Scarlet> Oh yes. Only an elite warrior with tactical skills can defeat him.
<AutumnLeaf> and with the World Government on his tail, I doubt that'll happen
<Blueblood> Well, this has been lovely but I think I'm going to go bang my head against a wall uwu
<Umbra> ...why?
* Blueblood stands up, and leisurely trots around the corner
<AutumnLeaf> Oh. Uh... okay, bye, Prince
<Jack-o-phone> ..... maybe this is why I don't talk about myself or at all
<Scarlet> Eh? What do you mean?
* AutumnLeaf turns to Jack
<AutumnLeaf> What's the matter?
<Jack-o-phone> Could be just in my head, seeing hostility that isn't there
<Scarlet> o.o
* AutumnLeaf sighs
<Scarlet> Hostility? Uh, no. Anyway!
<AutumnLeaf> Hostility or not, you must have a thicker skin. Concentrate on the objective and how you'll achieve it
<Scarlet> Absolutely! What do we know of the Straw Man's last location, anyway? Was it in the hospital with you, Leaf?
<AutumnLeaf> Yes, he vanished after his aborted plan, but the WG believes him to still be around here somewhere based off his character. He's determined to see his task through one way or another, and he can't do that if he flees completely
<Blueblood> *WHAM*
<Blueblood> *WHAM*
<Blueblood> *WHAM*
<Umbra> ...
* Umbra gets up and she heads around the corner to speak to Blueblood
<Scarlet> Vanished, huh? Teleportation, then?
<AutumnLeaf> Portals, more like
<AutumnLeaf> I saw him use them during the battle at the park
<Jack-o-phone> This won't be easy though. His methods are different from mine and I don't know how much he knows
<Scarlet> Interesting. So he's likely still in the city. But hey, portals are better, right? I bet they leave some sort of magic residue you can track.
<Jack-o-phone> Oh certainly.. if they rely too much on portals they can be tracked
<AutumnLeaf> He also seems to have a code of ethics
<AutumnLeaf> Like how he wouldn't trash the hospital to get at me
<Scarlet> So anyway, Umbra, any preliminary information I can work on on my end?
* Byakhee has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
* AutumnLeaf takes another sip of coffee
<AutumnLeaf> Something tells me we'll need to take a break here
<Scarlet> Eeegh --
* Umbra is around the corner at the moment, talking to bb
* Umbra will return shortly
<Umbra> > however, there is a request from Umbra to scarlet
<Umbra> > she wants her to locate where the desert sands are getting their military resources and funding, as well as try to locate any military allies they may have outside of the country
* Salasleep has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
<Umbra> > that way Scarlet can sever those ties
* Umbra comes bakc around and she sits down
<Umbra> ...so...
* Jack-o-Lantern (Kuroishi@24.50.lnm.p) has joined
<AutumnLeaf> Everything okay?
<Umbra> yes
* Umbra looks over at Scarlet
<Umbra> I have a job for you, my General
* Scarlet nods to Umbra
<Umbra> now...
* Umbra placed her hooves on the table
<Umbra> Egypt is NOT a weapons manufacturing super power, in fact it does not produce weapons, ammunition or firearms of any kind
<Umbra> that means they are importing their arms and armaments
* Umbra looks to Scarlet
<Umbra> I want you to find out where they are getting their arms and armaments
<Umbra> (and that first thing about egypt should be "egypt is not a significant producer of yadda yadda yadda)
<Scarlet> Can-do, Umbra.
<Umbra> now...
<Umbra> the plan is to strangle their supply
<Umbra> first, at the source
<Umbra> whoever is supplying them, I want either through diplomacy or violence, to have this line of supply reduced or destroyed
<Umbra> secondly, their literal supply lines, vehicles bringing in weapons, armor and ammo, I want them destroyed
<Umbra> if we can strangle their supply, they will be significantly reduced when armed conflict comes
<Umbra> after we have severed or reduced these lines, I will have agents infiltrate their camps and detonate their ammunition dumps
<Umbra> this will further strain what they have
<Umbra> perhaps we can end a conflict before it begins
* Umbra looks to scarlet
<Umbra> what do you think?
<AutumnLeaf> Seems befitting for War, I'd say
<Scarlet> Well, it depends what sort of resources they have, Umbra. If they have their own secretive manufacturing efforts, then we've a problem with that plan at the source. Indeed, I have some worries pertaining to that for other reasons. We should look into their supply before taking any major steps. IF they are susceptible to this, then I say yea to it; a changing regime has its own issues, including a lack of preparedness and comprehension
<Scarlet> of logistical routes.
* Umbra nods
<Umbra> as stated, Egypt is not a major weapons manufacturer, and so we can be reasonably sure that they do not have any weapons plants in country. If they do though, we can destroy them secretly
* Thessa (uid60594@ntmfhjozqf.irccloud.com) has joined
<Scarlet> I suppose. Perhaps.
<Thessa> MOTHERFUCKER
<Scarlet> That said, I will note that Desert Sands is an outside contra-
* Thessa tackles through a window
<Scarlet> (For fuck's sake, Fetti)
<Thessa> (Sorry)
<Thessa> (disconsider)
* Shansai is now known as Miranda
<Scarlet> That said, I will note that Desert Sands is an outside contractor. Even if we strangle the military's supplies, they are likely to have their own routes, and their own expertise in acquiring materials.
<Scarlet> Then again, if you thought that you could win the day through subterfuge alone, I wouldn't be here, hm? -u-
<Umbra> indeed
<Umbra> I will be providing you with targets
<Umbra> you will be destroying them
<Umbra> but you do raise a valid point about their routes
<Umbra> and those are the routes we need destroyed
<Scarlet> I do hope I can pursue my own discretionary interest as well; I have acquired information I believe to be extremely pertinent to the discovery of our enemy's intentions.
<Umbra> I trust you and your discretions, you may act how you please, I didn't ask for you to do this so I could micromanage your every decision
<AutumnLeaf> ...Huh.
<AutumnLeaf> I didn't realize you were such a good orator, Scarlet
* Umbra simled
<Umbra> smiled*
<AutumnLeaf> and it's reassuring to know that everything will be handled so professionally
<Umbra> you have to get her in the right mood
<Jack-o-Lantern> I like to stay on her good moods if I can
<Scarlet> I don't fuck around when it comes to doing shit that matters.
<Scarlet> I mean hey, I'm still me. But a nation is at stake here, not to mention your life, Leaf. I'm not going to make a game out of the suffering of the people of Egypt, or Equestria.
<Umbra> ...well then
<Umbra> shall our next meeting be after the situation with the Straw Man develops?
<AutumnLeaf> That seems reasonable
<Umbra> excellent, then we shall reconvene then
<Scarlet> ... erm, also, once I've finished another meeting I have planned, I will begin moving on Egypt itself.
<Umbra> of course
<Scarlet> Excellent. =
<AutumnLeaf> ...but come on
<AutumnLeaf> Do the two of you really need an occasion to come and see me?
<AutumnLeaf> I'll be all locked up with Neith and very lonely u.u
<Scarlet> Heh... I'll try and make time to come visit, hun.
<AutumnLeaf> Excellent
<Umbra> and I live here
<Umbra> so naturally I want to see you
<Jack-o-Lantern> ...hmmm.. ok see ya soon
<AutumnLeaf> Just wanted to make sure
<AutumnLeaf> Bye, Jack
* Jack-o-Lantern trots off
