Lyra messages Axel

snuffshotMartyr [SM] began pestering flamingBlade [FB]
SM: Yo Ax, you still alive?
FB: Lyra!
FB: I haven't spoken to you in forever!
FB: Yeah I'm still alive, how are you doing?
SM: I hate to be a bother
SM: But not too great
SM: I think I'm the bad guy
FB: What?
FB: pfft
FB: you're not the bad guy! I've known tug since like...
FB: I don't even know! So what's wrong?
SM: In my session
SM: I keep scaring two of my coplayers, and calling someone else names in what I think is a joking way, and I'm mad at another for something she should have been totally justified in, and...
SM: Ax, someone who used to be one of my best friends is siding with a person who flinches every time I open my mouth.
FB: Hey. Don't worry.
FB: You're not the bad guy.
FB: So you're scaring them?
FB: What are you doing to scare them?
SM: One of them, Byron, is actually pretty normal. The game didn't affect him as much
SM: He ran to a different planet when Alex and I met him
SM: Because we just... didn't even flinch, we were joking about all the horrible stuff that's happened
SM: The other is a mind reader
SM: And when we're in the same building, he just
SM: Won't
SM: Stop
SM: Screaming.
FB: Uh. Wow
FB: No. It's ok, I mean maybe you just need to talk to him?
FB: I'm pretty sure we're all on this meteor
FB: Also I could finally meet up with you!
FB: Most of all. Don't panic.
FB: It sounds like you've gone through a lot more than me. The worst thing that's happened to me was seeing my dead dog.
FB: Are there any other guys worrying you?
SM: I'm not on a meteor, Ax
SM: Different campaign instances. I've got my party, you've got yours
SM: Though I'd be all for switching over. Better a dog than myself
SM: Tried talking. The end result is that I'm a dangerous sociopath, everyone should keep their distance before I invariably ruin everything, and I'm going to die over and over forever
FB: oh... i didn't think of that...
FB: But I will meet up with you! I know it!
FB: You're not a sociopath. You're not dangerous. It's okay. Maybe you just need to...
FB: wait... die over and over?
FB: are you okay?
FB: oh yeah, weird question as well but has anyone in your "session" died?... On the meteor, I think there's a murderer.
SM: Me.
SM: Me, over and over
SM: I have five in-game bodies right now, and at least two of them are dead already
SM: More, if Kek or the Queen has decided to stop playing around
FB: WHAT?!
FB: what.. How.. YOU HAVE FIVE BODIES?!
FB: TWO OF THEM ARE DEAD?!
SM: Not allowed to die
SM: No matter how much I want to at times
SM: Have to keep on playing
FB: Sorry for overreacting, but I though when you die, you...
FB: Die
FB: like game over. You're gone.
FB: Who would kill you though?
SM: First time was the meteor
SM: If that counts, which I guess would put it at six bodies, three dead
SM: Second one froze to death miles underground
SM: Third just started bleeding out of my face. Eyes, nose, mouth. Just... keeled over
FB: W...wow
FB: I.. I don't know what to say..
FB: Are you ok?
FB: It... It's going to be ok.
FB: I've played a lot of games...
FB: A lot of games.
FB: They are all possible to complete
FB: ALL OF THEM.
FB: I don't believe that this game is impossible.
FB:...
FB: Don't give up Lyra.
FB: Stay determined!
FB: You're not the bad guy.
SM: S'not a question of being possible
SM: I'm not sure I want to win anymore
FB: W..what?
FB: But.. That's what games are programmed to do. For you to win.
FB: Winning... Winning might be the only goal we have at the moment...
SM: Do you know how to win?
FB: Well...
FB: No.
FB: But we've got this far!
SM: How much farther? We could still be right at the beginning
FB: Uh...
FB: Um..
FB: Look, the point is that you can't give up.
FB: You've got to keep going.
FB: Even if we are at the beginning, we are still getting closer to the end.
FB: if you stop. You'll get stuck forever.
FB: Don't give up
SM: ...
SM: You honestly think we have a shot at winning?
FB: . . .
FB: I know we do.
FB: If we all have hope. We definitely have a shot.
SM: Well
SM: I mean
SM: What if we aren't s'posed to win?
FB: What?
FB: What kind of game would be designed for you to not win?
FB: No.
FB: There's no way we were sent here for no purpose...
SM: I didn't say no purpose
SM: Just that winning isn't it
FB: But.
FB: If winning isn't the purpose
FB: What is?
SM: Escape.
FB: How can we escape from life?...
SM: Not life
SM: Sabath
SM: Go off the rails, stop playing along
FB: But we saw the end of the world...
FB: The meteors...
FB: We can't escape from this. We've got to keep going
FB: It's... It's not possible to escape.
SM: It could be
SM: D'ya think it's worth a shot?
FB: I mean...
FB: Hey, you're definitely smater than me, if you think it's worth a shot, I'll trust you. Good luck!
SM: Wait
SM: Really?
FB: Sure!
FB: It's like one of those game theories, you put a lot of thought into it.
FB: And I trust you, so you might be on to something here.
SM: No but like
SM: You actually trust me?
FB: Well, yeah, obviously!
SM: *Why*?
FB: Why?
FB: Well, I've known you since...
FB: I don't know!
FB: But you've been the one who I've always been able to talk to, even if we're in different parties. And because of that I trust you.
SM: ...
SM: You actually mean that, don't you?
FB: Yeah. Of course I do.
FB: Why don't you think I mean that?
SM: I mean
SM: Huh
SM: I s'pose I'm kinda used to everyone else expecting everything I try to do to fail horribly
FB: :(
FB: I think you're really onto something with the idea though.
FB: Seriously.
SM: Thank you, Axel.
SM: That means a lot to me.
SM: S'pose I'd better go figure out how to pull it off, eh?
FB: No problem!
FB: Yeah, good luck with figuring it out.
FB: I know you can do it! Keep me in touch with how you're doing.
SM: I will. Thanks
