  1. [23:30] <@Bash> *openSystem PESTERs "probably not current Emmara but god damn it I'm not a time player atm": ( Er, hi. I've been stuck thinking for the past few days, and I... well, first off, I need to apologize. You wanted a fight and I really just couldn't provide that. I don't know if you've found some other way to blow off that anger or what, but my offer to be a punching bag still stands. I... mostly, I just want to talk to you. I don't know if that works the other way, even if your future self seemed to be pretty okay with me. So at the least, sorry about that pitiful excuse for a fight. )
  2. [23:31] <@Bash> [You sigh and sit back in your chair. Everything seems to have gone to crap, lately.]
  3. 04[23:32] <Emmara> *vanishingPoint PESTERs "Sci-fi" : (Before we start, do you want to talk like this or in person?)
  4. [23:35] <@Bash> *openSystem PESTERs "Emmara": ( either way is... fine, really. I suspect I'd prefer to talk in person if only because I can't run away. )
  5. 04[23:36] <Emmara> *vanishingPoint PESTERs "Sci-fi" : (Alright. Your place?)
  6. [23:37] <@Bash> *openSystem PESTERs "Emmara": ( Sounds good. )
  7. 04[23:37] <Emmara> *vanishingPoint PESTERs "Sci-fi" : (I'll be there soon then.)
  8. 04[23:40] <Emmara> [You pack up from your Homefree and start making your way back to your spire. You're not going to time jump, it sounds like he needs the time to prep himself anyways. It takes you about fifteen minutes before theres a knock on the door.]
  9. [23:43] <@Bash> [You've since moved yourself to the kitchen, prepared a small plate of cheeses and crackers, and set it the table. You call out a simple, "it's open", when you hear the knocking.]
  10. 04[23:44] <Emmara> [You push it open and look around before finding him in the kitchen. "Hi." You say. You've got a small, worried smile on. "You wanted to talk?"]
  11. [23:48] <@Bash> [You gesture for her to sit. "Yeah, I figured that sooner or later, things needed to be said." You make a small frown at yourself. "Still not sure what all said things are, but either way long periods of avoiding contact aren't good. Would you like anything to drink, while you're here?"]
  12. 04[23:49] <Emmara> [You take your seat across from him leaning down on the table. "No, I'm good thanks. Unless its a tactic to try and buy yourself more time, in which case juice."]
  13. [23:55] <@Bash> ["A little of column A, a little of B." You quickly grab some juice for her and just a glass of water for yourself. "So, I... Mmmh, no, that's..." You close your eyes for a moment and take a slow breath. "I need to apologize for infecting you with the hextech. I had no idea it would do that, much less that I could spread it like that. I'm sorry that led up to a stupid, easily preventable
  14. [23:55] <@Bash> death." Your eyes remain fixed on your glass of water. ]
  15. 04[23:58] <Emmara> [You take a sip of the juice before responding. "That is as much my fault as it is yours. I was careless and stupid and didn't think about it. I was the one who said it was fine. I forgive your part in it. It was an accident and I certainly hope wasn't intentional."]
  16. [00:05] <@Bash> [You shake your head side to side, slowly. "It just feels like I was so careless. Perhaps we both were." You look up, trying your best to get your eyes to actually look at her. "Still... I guess you did tell me I wasn't to blame myself, but... I am scared of hurting the people I am close to, especially now knowing I have."]
  17. 04[00:08] <Emmara> [You're meeting his gaze, and none of the anger that was there before seems present. "You can't be cautious about things you don't know about. You know it now, and so you can be. But the past is done." Another sip of juice. "Honestly. I'm more frustrated that you felt the need to deal with this on your own, and saying that you didn't need time to deal with it. Life and death mistakes happen in the game, I'm not going to get too caught up in this accident that was not intentional."]
  18. [00:12] <@Bash> ["Uh, I kind of want to call bullshit, with how angry you were, but I digress. And just to be clear, the reason I felt I needed to deal with it on my own was pretty simple. It is really hard to get help from the person you just had to kill, especially when you feel like it was your fault you had to in the first place. I won't say it was a particularly /good/ reason, but... there it is."]
  19. 04[00:14] <Emmara> ["That was me being caught up in the moment. I need time and something to take my frustrations of several months out on. And what about the others? Did you talk to Nath? Or Cora? Or anyone on the memo?"]
  20. [00:19] <@Bash> ["..." You look to the side. "I'm guessing you're going to tell me that the other two in my head don't count, huh? I talked to Nate a few days ago but not really about that. If anything, I'd say the one who's heard me talk the most about it is sleeping right now anyway."]
  21. 04[00:20] <Emmara> ["You tell me. Do they count? Cause I don't know. I'm just worried. It's not a /healthy/ habit to have."]
  22. [00:24] <@Bash> ["They're the same as I am. They don't have the same emotional attachments to you, so I guess maybe? Honestly, I have no idea." You take a sip of your water. "You're probably right about it being unhealthy."]
  23. 04[00:28] <Emmara> ["I am right. Trust me on that." You run a hand through your hair. "I guess its my turn to apologize. I'm sorry for taking my anger and frustration out on you. It wasn't fair and it didn't and doesn't mean I hate or blame you. Just that you were the best chance for an...equal opposing force."]
  24. [00:34] <@Bash> [You stifle a laugh. "I doubt I could actually take you at full tilt. I... it is relieving to hear that you don't hate me, because honestly I was really worried you might."]
  25. 04[00:37] <Emmara> ["No, I don't hate you. I love you, even if you're a little derpy at times." You smile at him. "I don't know if its reciprocated anymore, but all I can say is my part."]
  26. [00:45] <@Bash> [You're pretty sure a tear or two just welled up in your eyes. "I... didn't think I'd ever hear that again, for some reason. Of course that's reciprocated, of course I still love you, I..." You wipe at your eyes. "Skaia, but I worried you wouldn't ever talk to me again."]
  27. 04[00:49] <Emmara> [You refrain from rolling your eyes. "Growth, you need to work on reading people. I hadn't come by because it was painfully obvious you needed some time." You get up from your seat and walk around to give him a hug. "Besides, think of what the kids'd say."]
  28. [00:54] <@Bash> [You hug her back. "Yeah, I suppose the kids'd be pretty upset if their parents split up, huh. I probably wouldn't be the best single father for Thalia, anyway."]
  29. 04[00:58] <Emmara> ["Speaking of Thalia. Hows that going?" You sit down in his lap and lean into him, arms still wrapped around in the hug.]
  30. [01:04] <@Bash> ["She should be done in... probably a day or two before I can wake her up. Two things, do you think maybe you could figure out clothes for her before she gets stuck with my terrible fashion sense? And uh... does she get your last name since I don't really have one?"]
  31. 04[01:06] <Emmara> [You blink. "I, uh, guess? Didn't think she'd need a last name, but if she does she can take mine?" You're really not sure what to think of that. You'll sort it out later. "And I can do clothes. I'll need to see how big she is to get a decent idea, unless you want me to make a ton of each size."]
  32. [01:11] <@Bash> [You shrug. "The last name thing is more of me having no idea what to do, honestly. As far as size, I was thinking you could mostly just cheat and ask a future self. Or be the future self. Something along those lines. We can still go take a look at her, of course."]
  33. 04[01:14] <Emmara> ["Sure. I'd like that. And I think I'd like to meet her for the first time when its her first time too. Means a little more." You get up out of his lap and straighten your shirt. "Lead the way."]
  34. [01:22] <@Bash> [You nod, and lead her to the lab. The doors hiss open, and before you flick on the lights a blue glow dimly illuminates the room. You point to a strange pod in the corner. "She's in there." As Emmara gets closer to the pod, she would be able to make out the human shape somewhat floating in a semitransparant blue liquid.]
  35. 04[01:27] <Emmara> [You study her, noting her build and height for when you make clothes. "You said in a day or two?" You ask, not looking away yet.]
  36. [01:29] <@Bash> [You put a hand on Emmara's shoulder. "Yeah. I could probably wake her up right now, but I want to make absolutely sure she's ready first. She's beautiful, isn't she?"]
  37. 04[01:32] <Emmara> [You nod, and reach up to grab his hand. "Yeah." You say quietly. "I'd like to be here for that, if I can?"]
  38. [01:32] <@Bash> ["I won't wake her up without you, don't worry."]
  39. 04[01:35] <Emmara> ["Thanks." You turn and hug him.]
  40. [01:36] <@Bash> [You pull her close and pat at her hair. "Don't mention it."]
  41. 04[01:39] <Emmara> ["Also, I'm guessing I should refrain from calling you a dirty old man for seeing her naked like this." You poke at his sides.]
  42. [01:42] <@Bash> [You reflexively twitch to the side as she pokes you. Damn ticklishness. "Well, I /built/ her, so... that'd be a bit silly, yes. Though I suppose most of the last part was technically me cheating and figuring out how to grow the hextech so that she'd look human."]
  43. 04[01:45] <Emmara> ["Un huh. You might want to leave out the naked part if you talk about how she was...grown?...some people'll probably not really understand it." You stretch up and kiss him. "And how'd you manage that last bit?"]
  44. [01:51] <@Bash> ["Yeah, wasn't planning on leaving that in. Honestly, it... actually wanted to assume a human shape. I can only guess that's because it came off of me? I had to screw around and make sure it wasn't trying to make a male, though. That was scary for a bit, but I worked it out eventually."]
  45. 04[01:54] <Emmara> ["Well good for you." You nudge him. "So you still expecting to take her with you through the door?"]
  46. [01:57] <@Bash> ["I sure hope so. At the very least, with you and I as parents, I bet she'll be more than equipped to go through the game. Admittedly, I am worried about any being that is unlucky enough to have me as a parent." You smile wryly.]
  47. 04[01:59] <Emmara> ["Hey, give yourself some credit. And I can more than make up any of the miniscule deficits you might have." You say with a grin.]
  48. [02:00] <@Bash> [Forehead bonk her. "Alright, alright. Then together, we'll do our best, yeah?"]
  49. 04[02:01] <Emmara> [Bonk. "Yup. And who knows. I might get to keep her." You stick your tongue out.]
  50. [02:04] <@Bash> ["I'd be sad, but at least she'd be with her mom, eh?"]
  51. 04[02:04] <Emmara> ["Growth, that sounds weird. 'Mom'."]
  52. [02:06] <@Bash> ["It feels a bit wrong on my tongue, somehow, yeah."]
  53. 04[02:07] <Emmara> ["Probably cause no one should be born into the Game." You look at the case again, frowning this time.]
  54. [02:12] <@Bash> [You frown with her. "Yeah. I have to admit, there's probably a significant amount of hubris in my actions, here. But at the same time..." You look hopefully at Emmara. "I have to hope it will turn out okay. Any other hopes would just break my heart."]
  55. 04[02:13] <Emmara> ["Its a bit too late now, for anything else, isn't it?" Still frowning at Thalia.]
  56. [02:15] <@Bash> [You choose to respond by hugging her close, rather than saying anything.]
  57. 04[02:18] <Emmara> [You turn and hug him. Suddenly unsure about all of this.]
  58. [02:23] <@Bash> [You kiss her forehead. "It'll be okay."]
  59. 04[02:25] <Emmara> ["I hope so. For her sake." You say sadly. "Suppose that means we'll have to be very sure shes ready."]
  60. [02:30] <@Bash> ["Yeah, we definitly will. We probably have to do that just to make sure she's gonna be safe this session."]
  61. 04[02:33] <Emmara> ["I have no idea how to raise a kid properly."]
  62. [02:36] <@Bash> ["...yeah, neither do I. To be fair, she's an AI, so it'll be easier than an actual human kid."]
  63. 04[02:38] <Emmara> ["I hope so." You hold him tighter.]
  64. [02:41] <@Bash> [You're doing the right thing, you're pretty sure. Even so, you hold her close and pray for the best.]
  65. [02:49] <@Bash> [[Scene]]
