- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "Y<>u want t<> kn<>w what l1fe was l1ke f<>r me bef<>re the game?"
- Lily_Miller[silver]: "Yeah... You haven't talked much about it."
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "<>h, well 1t really wasn't very 1nterest1ng!"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "1 t<>ld y<>u 1 l1ved 1n Japan, r1ght?!"
- Lily_Miller[silver]: "Yeah, wasn't that why you didn't know about vaults?"
- Lily_Miller[silver]: "Or... at least their doors."
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "Hehe, yeah, 1 d<>n't really understand a l<>t <>f th1s future stuff!"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "1 l1ved <>n Altern1a f<>r a wh1le bef<>re then as well, but 1 d<>n't really remember much <>f that!"
- Lily_Miller[silver]: "Alternia?"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "<>h, y<>u d<>n't kn<>w ab<>ut Altern1a?!"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "1t's the w<>rld where tr<>lls c<>me fr<>m!"
- Lily_Miller[silver]: "Not really, never heard of it."
- Lily_Miller[silver]: "Another planet? Cool! But how did you get to earth then? If you don't remember much, you must have been pretty young."
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "1 th1nk 1 was ab<>ut 7 sweeps <>ld when 1 came t<> earth! Th1s creepy guy w1th a cueball head came <>ut <>f n<>where and bef<>re 1 knew what was happen1ng 1 was <>n Earth!"
- Lily_Miller[silver]: "Sweeps? Cueball head? What?" Is she just making this up as she goes along?
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "Sweeps are what Altern1ans use f<>r t1me, 1 th1nk 1 sweep 1s ar<>und tw<> years?!"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "1 never really f1gured <>ut h<>w t<> c<>nvert them!"
- Lily_Miller[silver]: "And Mr. Cueball for a head?"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "The cueball head guy was really we1rd, he had l<>ts <>f green stuff ar<>und h1m, k1nd <>f l1ke he was rad1at1ng 1t!"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "He st<><>d 1n fr<>nt <>f me f<>r a sec<>nd and then 1 just suddenly appeared <>n Earth!"
- Lily_Miller[silver]: "In... Japan. Ancient Japan?"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "Yeah!"
- Lily_Miller[silver]: "I've never seen a troll before. The people there couldn't have taken it well, especially with all the religious stuff they had going on. What happened when you got here?"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "Well, 1 was really c<>nfused, s<> 1 just wandered ar<>und f<>r a wh1le!"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "1 saw s<>me pe<>ple, but whenever 1 tr1ed t<> greet them they w<>uld run away, yell1ng 1n a language 1 c<>uldn't understand!"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "1 d<>n't kn<>w h<>w l<>ng 1 d1d that, but 1t felt l1ke a wh1le!"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "Eventually th<>ugh, 1 stumbled 1nt<> a cerem<>ny that was apparently t<> summ<>n a water sp1r1t, and they dec1ded 1 was <>ne!"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "S<> they bu1lt me a shr1ne, and let me stay there!"
- Lily_Miller[silver]: "That doesn't seem so bad, so why are you so happy? They all are probably dead now, but you don't seemed bothered by that at all!"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "Well... the w<>rsh1ppers were all very n1ce and respectful, and 1 really apprec1ated them d<>1ng all they d1d f<>r me, but they were all s<> d1stant!"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "1 th1nk that as much as they apprec1ted me, they st1ll th<>ught 1 was creepy and untrustw<>rthy!"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "S<> 1 never actually g<>t t<> make fr1ends w1th any <>f them, and 1 g<>t really l<>nely and depressed!"
- Lily_Miller[silver]: "Is that why you try to make friends with everyone now?"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "1 d<>n't th1nk s<>!"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "1 th1nk 1've always been l1ke th1s!"
- Lily_Miller[silver]: "Oh... I guess that makes sense." I gulp, the big question still needs to be asked. "Ezra, have you ever... killed someone?"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "1- um- well..." I look down at the ground and begin fidgeting with my hands, "1'd rather... n<>t talk ab<>ut that! 1f y<>u w<>uldn't m1nd!" I say laughing nervously.
- Lily_Miller[silver]: That hit a nerve. "You okay? I don't know much about Ancient Japan mannerisms, but answering like that almost guarantees a yes." I look up, not having noticed before I was staring at my hands. "You can tell me, I won't tell." Oh no, is she a murderer?
- Lily_Miller[silver]: Pleasedontbeamurdererpleaseno
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "1t's... uh... n<>t really s<>meth1ng 1'd l1ke t<> talk ab<>ut, 1 was 1n a really bad place when 1t happened, and 1'd really rather just put 1t beh1nd me!"
- Lily_Miller[silver]: "Was it before the game?" Ohnoohnonono. Why was I pressing her? This won't go well...
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "1... 1 th1nk s<>, 1t was r1ght bef<>re 1 entered, but 1'd REALLY rather n<>t talk ab<>ut 1t, L1ly! 1 just want t<> f<>rget 1t ever happened!"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: I look at Lily, pleading her with my eyes, seemingly on the verge of tears.
- Lily_Miller[silver]: Wait, right before she entered? That might be the same situation as what happened to me with... "Okay, I can drop it. It's just... I'm scared. Everything in this game is terrible and I wanted to know if you were a part of it." I try to look comforting, but just accusing her like that, I don't think it'll work too well.
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: I give Lily a weak smile, and try to say thanks, but only manage a broken sob. Hearing my sob come out takes away the last of my composure and I collapse into a sitting position on the ground bawling with my head in my hands. "1'm s<>rry L1ly," I choke out between sobs, "1 just need a sec<>nd t<> get back t<> n<>rmal!"
- Lily_Miller[silver]: Ohnonono. I move over to her, hand out trying to calm her down a little bit. "Hey, if you need to cry, then cry. It's not good to hold that in forever." I should not be doing this if she's an enemy, but if she's not, even slightly, then she needs this. "I shouldn't have pushed you, I'm sorry. This is my fault." I rub her back, trying to help calm her down.
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "N<>," I draw in a shaky breath trying to force down my sobbing, "1t's n<>t y<>ur fault, 1 sh<>uldn't get s<> em<>t1<>nal!" Managing to gather some of my strength I look up and meet her eyes, mine in tears but deadly serious, "L1ly, 1 pr<>m1se y<>u that 1'm y<>ur fr1end and 1'm n<>t part <>f anyth1ng h<>rr1ble the game m1ght d<> t<> y<>u! 1 w<>n't ever hurt y<>u, <>k?!"
- ATtheorytime[DM]: *That's just what somebody trying to hurt you would say...* Lily thinks
- Lily_Miller[silver]: "Okay." I don't let my voice waver, but I can't help but think of the letter. Why would someone who has never met me try to hurt me?
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "Thank y<>u L1ly!" I say, as I turn around, with tears in my eyes and wrap my arms around her in a hug.
- Lily_Miller[silver]: I flinch, the letter said something about a deadly embrace. Realizing my mistake, I try to recover, hugging her back. "Not used to hugs, you startled me." Lies, it's a lie, all lies.
- ATtheorytime[DM]: < Ezra, roll WIS please >
- ATtheorytime[DM]: < Insight specifically >
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: roll 1d20+1
- `DM: Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp] rolled 1d20+1 [ 1d20=7 ]{8}
- ATtheorytime[DM]: Something is off with Lily, but you can't quite tell what
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: I pull back from the hug looking at Lily through my mostly dried tears, "L1ly, 1s s<>meth1ng wr<>ng?!"
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: "D1d 1 make y<>u unc<>mf<>rtable w1th my cry1ng?! 1f 1 d1d 1'm s<> s<>rry, 1 try t<> n<>t let myself get t<><> em<>t1<>nal, but s<>met1mes 1t's all t<><> much and 1t just bubbles <>ver!" I look to be about to start crying again, with a slightly panicked edge to my voice.
- Lily_Miller[silver]: She noticed the lie, of course she did. "No, the crying isn't a problem! It's fine, if you need to cry then you should cry. It's just..." Tears start to come to me too as I build a half-truth. "Bubby's still missing, and I have no idea where he could be!" It's not a lie, less of a lie at least.
- ATtheorytime[DM]: < Another Insight check Ezra <
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: roll 1d20+1
- `DM: Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp] rolled 1d20+1 [ 1d20=12 ]{13}
- ATtheorytime[DM]: Lily is definitely hiding something, but this also seems genuine in and of itself
- Lily_Miller[silver]: ((i gotta go real soon))
- Ezra_Rabbit[Vamp]: Why would Lily be hiding something from me, I thought we were friends, we are friends right? Oh god what if she's angry from when I punched her earlier, and she was uncomfortable around the imps and I made her stay around them, what if she's mad at me for that? Oh god what do I do? What do I do? Okay, wait try to calm down. I can't calm down, Lily was supposed to be my friend! I begin breathing heavily, feeling confused and scared, "L1ly, 1 just... um... 1 need a..." I gesture helplessly for a moment while tears well in my eyes. I look at Lily for a moment, and then panic running back towards the entrance of the dungeon as fast as I can.
