- [22:46] * [KC]Schultz knocks on the front door
- [22:47] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Who is it?"
- [22:47] <[KC]Schultz> Yo, Mama!
- [22:48] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> [sounds of puttering footsteps and the tapping of wood on plank]
- [22:49] * [KC]Schultz lifts her basket of miscellaneous foodage to the little peephole
- [22:49] <[KC]Schultz> I'm bearin' all sorts of wicked fruit!
- [22:49] <[KC]Schultz> Can't eat 'em 'less you're in wit' 'em, right?
- [22:50] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Eh? What was that? You better not be that furry fella ag'n, 'cause I tell ya I kip me axe by my pillow now I do..."
- [22:51] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> [sounds of rattling chains, and the front door swings open.]
- [22:51] * [KC]Schultz spreads her arms wide
- [22:52] <[KC]Schultz> I look like the kind wot got whiskers, Mama?
- [22:52] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "And if you be those sole-ees-eaters then I tell you, wutevar you sell I ain't--"
- [22:52] * [Nom]MamaSchultz pauses
- [22:52] <[KC]Schultz> Yo, Mama!
- [22:53] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Aw, it's me little Holly! Aw, Mama's missed you so!"
- [22:53] * [Nom]MamaSchultz goes in for a hug...but stops to put on a pair of half-moon glasses first
- [22:54] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Don't look toothy to me."
- [22:54] * [Nom]MamaSchultz sniffs
- [22:54] <[KC]Schultz> Aw, Mama, that's the other gal.
- [22:54] * [KC]Schultz hugs
- [22:54] * [Nom]MamaSchultz hugs her back
- [22:56] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Aw, me Holly's now a big girl. Or a bigger girl. Or did I shrink? Or were you start off this tall?"
- [22:56] * [Nom]MamaSchultz stands back and squints
- [22:56] <[KC]Schultz> Awwww, ain't no taller than when I struck out at all. You're jus' teasin', Mama!
- [22:58] <[KC]Schultz> An'...
- [22:58] * [KC]Schultz reaches out, her fingers gliding along the edges of her mother's glasses
- [22:58] <[KC]Schultz> When'd you get the groovy-lookin' lookers, Mama?
- [23:00] * [Nom]MamaSchultz smirks, which is a truly horrifying sight when your face looks as topographical as her's
- [23:00] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Not gunna lose to ya kids, I always be telling your pa. I be fush-son-able I be."
- [23:01] <[KC]Schultz> Aw, Ma, your digs be as swaggerin' as ever.
- [23:01] <[KC]Schultz> Now--
- [23:01] * [Nom]MamaSchultz bangs on her chest with pride, but that only demonstrates her fondness of the asthma puffer
- [23:01] * [KC]Schultz smiles and lifts her basket
- [23:02] <[KC]Schultz> Ya wanna be helpin' me pick offa the last o' these perishings?
- [23:02] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Oh, Holly brought Mama a gift. You really shouldna have."
- [23:03] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Come to the living room, Holly. I'll fix us some tea to go with them snacks, so we can have us a comfy chat without standing out in the draft."
- [23:03] <[KC]Schultz> Heh heh.
- [23:04] * [KC]Schultz closes the front door and joins her mother in the kitchen. Just as she thought, the plates are in the same place as usual.
- [23:04] * [Nom]MamaSchultz totters off again, mumbling something about the whippersnippers on her lawn being responsible for the chill
- [23:07] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "How many sugars was it, Holly? You can pro'ly do with some extra en'rgy if you been doing the stressful work at the mansion."
- [23:07] * [KC]Schultz grabs a knife and starts carving up one of the fruits, grabs randomly from the basket
- [23:07] * [Nom]MamaSchultz chuckles
- [23:08] <[KC]Schultz> Justa coupla scoops o' milk'll be groovy, Mama.
- [23:09] <[KC]Schultz> 'bout's the bouts that be keepin' me kneecaps from shatterin' ta smatterins.
- [23:09] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Don't be like that, Holly. Ain't the war, y'know. Sugar's plenty an' cheap."
- [23:09] * [Nom]MamaSchultz frowns
- [23:10] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Not feeling die-ah-bee-tick are ye, Holly?"
- [23:10] <[KC]Schultz> All righ' all righ', I'll have 'em all ins.
- [23:10] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Or...ah-knee-mick?"
- [23:11] <[KC]Schultz> Naw way, Mama.
- [23:11] <[KC]Schultz> I just ain't gotta taste for blood sugar.
- [23:12] * [KC]Schultz gives a short laugh
- [23:13] * [Nom]MamaSchultz gives the teacups a stir
- [23:14] * [KC]Schultz takes one of the teacups and sips the contents. She's already set out a couple of plates for the fruit
- [23:15] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "The ol' doctor down in the village been warning me, y'know. Toss'n out all them fancy long words I dun' get. Your mama worries that you be the same too, now that ye be work'n."
- [23:15] <[KC]Schultz> Tell ya what, Mama,
- [23:17] <[KC]Schultz> If it look like I'm gonna have a day where's my heart'll start infarctonin', I'll take it off if I haveta beat the head maid 'round the braincase ta do so.
- [23:18] <[KC]Schultz> 'Sides, workin' for the Lady, ya get a good dental plan.
- [23:18] * [Nom]MamaSchultz chuckles
- [23:19] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Oh Holly, you always been a funny girl."
- [23:19] * [Nom]MamaSchultz sobers again
- [23:19] * [KC]Schultz notices the drop in Mama's smile, but tries futilely to keep the mood going
- [23:19] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "But lets 'ave us a seat in the lounge, so you can tell Mama everything since you been gone, mm?"
- [23:20] <[KC]Schultz> Hm...
- [23:20] * [KC]Schultz taps her chin
- [23:20] <[KC]Schultz> Ain't much ta write home 'bout, which's why I haven't.
- [23:20] <[KC]Schultz> I just 'bout started up, didna?
- [23:21] <[KC]Schultz> Been workin' with one o' the other maids, though.
- [23:21] <[KC]Schultz> She's a bit of a screwcase.
- [23:22] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Is that so?"
- [23:22] <[KC]Schultz> Straight square, she's.
- [23:22] <[KC]Schultz> Ahhh, and she got these nibbler down all the way down ta here!
- [23:22] * [KC]Schultz makes teeth by bending her fingers forwards and putting them near her mouth
- [23:22] * [Nom]MamaSchultz doesn't seem to be paying much attention as she sets her tea and some fruit down on a cozy and sits down.
- [23:23] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Oh, buckish, is she? That's great, dear..."
- [23:24] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Say, Holly. What kinda work been Remilia making you do for 'er?"
- [23:24] * [KC]Schultz talks around a slice of an orange
- [23:24] <[KC]Schultz> Nuthin' special.
- [23:24] <[KC]Schultz> You know, wipe the floors and sweep the dishes sorta stuff.
- [23:25] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Yer mistress 'asn't been mak'n ye...stay up, 'as she?"
- [23:25] <[KC]Schultz> Hmmmmm...
- [23:25] * [KC]Schultz thinks of "that incident", but dismisses it as unimportant.
- [23:26] <[KC]Schultz> Naw.
- [23:26] <[KC]Schultz> Place looks what it's got to have some grody bones supportin' it, but if there's some around there, it's all hidden from us.
- [23:26] <[KC]Schultz> What's up with the nance-face, Mama?
- [23:27] * [Nom]MamaSchultz is slightly startled
- [23:27] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Oh, was I look'n funny? Don't mind it Holly, old folks are all like this."
- [23:28] <[KC]Schultz> No way, Mama.
- [23:28] <[KC]Schultz> You're lookin' like you're twenty still, for certain!
- [23:29] * [Nom]MamaSchultz flashes Holland a grin as concrete evidence to the contrary
- [23:31] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Really, I shouldna be dally'n with ye, Holly. You be a big girl now, Mama sees. Or yer still a big girl. Or I'm small. Where was I?"
- [23:31] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "I mean'n to ask; has Remilia approached ye at all?"
- [23:32] * [KC]Schultz loses her smile.
- [23:32] <[KC]Schultz> ...
- [23:32] <[KC]Schultz> ...yeah, Ma.
- [23:32] <[KC]Schultz> ...but she depproached me first after.
- [23:32] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Oh."
- [23:32] <[KC]Schultz> So that's all kind of alright, right?
- [23:33] * [KC]Schultz looks a little nervous
- [23:33] * [Nom]MamaSchultz looks down into her tea a bit disappontedly
- [23:34] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Remilia never told ye about ye mother, did she?"
- [23:35] <[KC]Schultz> Well, ah--
- [23:35] <[KC]Schultz> She gave a coupla pointers leadin' to a one-of-a-kind conclusion, but I din't really bother checkin' up on those.
- [23:37] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Well, I tell ya a story now. Or maybe it's one of those I've already told ye. Repeatedly Every night before ye bed. I dun remember."
- [23:37] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Anyways, storytime."
- [23:37] * [KC]Schultz mutters "prolly not", but it's more to herself
- [23:38] * [Nom]MamaSchultz taps her hearing aid and shrugs
- [23:39] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "You should be knowing, Holly, that we Schultzes 'ave always been proud servants of the Scarlets. Your Mama's Mama and your Mama's Mama's Mama and your Mama's Mama's Mama's Mama and...er, where was I, Holly?"
- [23:40] <[KC]Schultz> A long line of recursive Mamas, Mama.
- [23:41] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "And your Mama's Mama's Mama's Mama's Mama--no deary, before that."
- [23:41] <[KC]Schultz> A long line of recursive miad Mamas, then, Mama.
- [23:43] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Ah right. Your Mama's Mama's Mama's Mama's Mama's Mama was also a maid. Damn proud we were. You should be knowing."
- [23:45] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "What I'm telling you is that we be 'aving an in'xplicable number of girlies in our fam'ly tree."
- [23:45] * [Nom]MamaSchultz pauses
- [23:45] * [Nom]MamaSchultz tries again
- [23:47] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "What I'm telling you is that your position with Remilia be a duty you be in'eriting from a lot of other Schultzes."
- [23:47] * [Nom]MamaSchultz pauses again
- [23:49] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Or maybe they not all be Schultzes and some of em be Krultzes and Frultzes and Achwarzeninglormmultzes, since we be used ta taking after the silly men names an'..."
- [23:49] * [Nom]MamaSchultz stops herself
- [23:49] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Maids. Yer Mama. You know."
- [23:50] <[KC]Schultz> 'sin our genetics, right?
- [23:51] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "That be 'xactly w'at yer Mama be saying. Except something different. Always been a smart lass, me Holly."
- [23:51] * [KC]Schultz laughs
- [23:54] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "As fer Remilia 'erself, she be 'aving a parculiar diet an' all. An' we Schulzes and Krultzes and Achwarzeninglormmultzes always were in charge'f 'er meals, in a manner of speak'n"
- [23:58] <[KC]Schultz> I'm guessin' you ain't talkin' particularly 'bout high dinin', Ma...
- [23:59] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "We let 'er bite us, dear."
- [00:00] <[KC]Schultz> Euh...
- [00:00] <[KC]Schultz> Well, when you're right, you're right...
- [00:02] <[KC]Schultz> Whatcha sayin', though, 'xactly, Ma?
- [00:03] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Blood dolls, they use'ta call us. When the Lady be needing a bite, a Schultz was always there."
- [00:03] <[KC]Schultz> I sayit again, Euh.
- [00:03] <[KC]Schultz> That don't sound like the sorta thing you wanna be puttin' on your resume...
- [00:04] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "I'm so sorry, Holly. I should be telling ye before but it be...ah."
- [00:04] * [Nom]MamaSchultz looks wistfully into some distance
- [00:05] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Not a bad spot, no, Holly. Because we be getting all intimate like with the mistress ev'ry night, we often get rather...oooh."
- [00:05] * [Nom]MamaSchultz blushes like a geriatric schoolgirl
- [00:06] <[KC]Schultz> ...giddy, Ma?
- [00:06] <[KC]Schultz> That's 'cause of the lack o' hemoglobin, I'm thinkin'.
- [00:07] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Oh no, Holly, we were very..close."
- [00:07] * [Nom]MamaSchultz giggles
- [00:07] <[KC]Schultz> Not quite getting your spake here, Mama...
- [00:08] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Oh Holly, don't make yer Mama say it out loud."
- [00:08] * [Nom]MamaSchultz is in a fit by now. Truly horrific.
- [00:08] <[KC]Schultz> ...
- [00:10] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Remilia could'be quite direct at times. Gets carried away an' all"
- [00:12] <[KC]Schultz> ...circulat'ry shock?
- [00:14] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Anyways, Holly, I was just 'fraid she be approaching ye all row-man-tick like, and I 'ere I am wit'out 'ave'n told ye anything 'bout it.
- [00:16] <[KC]Schultz> ...
- [00:16] <[KC]Schultz> ...so, ah.
- [00:16] <[KC]Schultz> ...you're wantin' me to hands-off your ex, then?
- [00:18] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Oh, no deary. Your Mama's Mama and your Mama's Mama's--er, I mean all Schultzes do it. It was just 'fraid I missed tell'n ye some things and gotten ye confuzzled."
- [00:19] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Anyways, yer Mama be 'appy with yer Papa and that's that."
- [00:19] * [Nom]MamaSchultz says that last line a bit louder than usual
- [00:19] <[KC]Schultz> ...I see, Ma.
- [00:19] * [KC]Schultz looks terribly uncomfortable.
- [00:20] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "I may 'ave been trying to make some point or draw some conclusion filled with me elderly wisdom, but I be forgetting it now. Yer Mama's old now, she be allowed to ramble a bit."
- [00:21] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "...And that darn Al Zimmers kid or something, the doctor man telling me about him. Oh, I'll get him one day, I will..."
- [00:22] <[KC]Schultz> ...
- [00:22] * [Nom]MamaSchultz clears her throat with a grating noise reminiscent of sandpaper
- [00:22] * [KC]Schultz briefly toys with mentioning "the Mencia", but decides to sip her tea
- [00:24] <[Nom]MamaSchultz> "Don't think about it too much, dear. Just work 'ard an' 'ave fun at the Scarlets now. That's a good girl."
- [00:24] * [Nom]MamaSchultz sips her tea as if nothing is odd at all
- [00:25] <[KC]Schultz> ...right on, Mama.
- [00:27] <[GM]Tetro> [Fade out]
- [00:31] <[GM]Tetro> [Meanwhile, or earlier, or later, or something, in the basement...]
- [00:35] <[GM]Flandre> [After a day of play, everybody crashes in Flandre's bed for the night. It is now morning.]
- [00:36] * [GM]Flandre zzzzz's, unconciously hugging Nali around the waist.
- [00:48] * [9]Marisa zzzzze's, a trail of drool hanging from her mouth.
- [00:51] * [Trm]Nali slowly awakens half aware that he has wrapped himself around someone.
- [00:53] * [9]Marisa mumbles in her sleep, most likely it's something about big, floppy mushrooms and how squishy they are.
- [00:57] <[9]Marisa> Nn... Noooo, Alice, don't chase me with those dooolls~
- [00:57] * [9]Marisa begins slamming her fists left and right.
- [00:58] <[9]Marisa> I just wanted to taste your mushroom... ze.
- [00:58] * [9]Marisa snores obnoxiously.
- [01:01] * [Trm]Nali realizes that it's not the young mistress he has found himself holding, but instead...
- [01:01] <[Trm]Nali> Shut up
- [01:02] * [9]Marisa 's snot bubble pops.
- [01:02] * [9]Marisa tries to roll over and go back to sleep.
- [01:03] * [Trm]Nali shoves Marisa off of the bed
- [01:03] * [9]Marisa hits the floor with a thud.
- [01:04] <[9]Marisa> ... ze.
- [01:04] * [9]Marisa rolls under the bed and continues snoring.
- [01:04] * [Trm]Nali gently tries to disentangle himself from the mistress
- [01:05] * [GM]Flandre stirs and murmurs at the sudden violent movement, reasserting her grip on Nali's midsection and smiling sleepily.
- [01:06] * [9]Marisa has an idea.
- [01:06] * [9]Marisa starts kicking the underside of the bed beneath Nali.
- [01:07] <[Trm]Nali> St-t-t-ooo-p-p-p
- [01:08] * [9]Marisa stops for a moment.
- [01:08] * [9]Marisa then continues kicking at twice the speed.
- [01:08] * [GM]Flandre frowns and stirmurmurs again.
- [01:09] <[Trm]Nali> M-m-iiiis-s-s-tres-ssss
- [01:11] * [9]Marisa rolls back out from under the bed, stands, and looks at Nali triumphantly.
- [01:11] * [9]Marisa boogies to the door.
- [01:11] * [Trm]Nali with the young mistress and all takes chase.
- [01:12] * [GM]Flandre is no longer around Nali's waist.
- [01:12] * [9]Marisa speeds up.
- [01:12] <[GM]Flandre> TAG!
- [01:12] * [GM]Flandre barrels into Marisa from behind.
- [01:12] * [9]Marisa tumbles over then comes to a stop.
- [01:13] <[9]Marisa> Ahahaha... Ya got me, ze.
- [01:13] * [GM]Flandre straightens up to sit on her captive's stomach, grinning.
- [01:13] <[GM]Flandre> I got ya good, didn't I? But what am I going to do with you now?
- [01:15] <[9]Marisa> You should run because I'm it! I'm gonna get yooouuu!
- [01:15] <[GM]Flandre> Eek!
- [01:15] <[Trm]Nali> ...
- [01:15] * [GM]Flandre flies up and away towards the ceiling, shrieking with laughter.
- [01:16] * [9]Marisa wiggles her fingers about at rapid speeds, a huge grin on her face.
- [01:17] * [9]Marisa looks over at Nali.
- [01:17] <[9]Marisa> Ah? Do you want to get tagged instead, ze?
- [01:20] <[Trm]Nali> Yeah, tag me.
- [01:20] * [9]Marisa charges at Nali, her hands straight out in front of her.
- [01:21] * [GM]Flandre swoops down and grabs Nali, pulling her out of the way.
- [01:21] * [Trm]Nali gets ready to...
- [01:21] <[GM]Flandre> Ha! You won't get us that easy!
- [01:21] * [9]Marisa gives chase, jumping along the way.
- [01:21] <[9]Marisa> Ah! Ah-! Not fair!
- [01:22] * [GM]Flandre tug/carries Nali through the hallway into the tunnels.
- [01:23] <[Trm]Nali> If we split up she can't catch us both.
- [01:23] <[GM]Flandre> Don't worry, I've got a plan.
- [01:24] <[Trm]Nali> If you insist...
- [01:25] * [GM]Flandre zigzags around a couple of corners, gaining a lead on the black-white pursuer.
- [01:26] * [9]Marisa is way behind, but still jogging.
- [01:26] * [GM]Flandre waits until she's just out of sight, then veers suddenly left where there is no corner, into the wall, or rather, through it.
- [01:27] * [Trm]Nali is pelted with debris
- [01:27] <[GM]Flandre> [The wall appears undamaged; that is its purpose. An illusion, and a small, empty conclave behind it.]
- [01:28] * [Trm]Nali or so he thought
- [01:28] * [9]Marisa eventually reaches that spot and continues jogging down the tunnel.
- [01:28] <[GM]Flandre> There. We can be alone for a little while, here. She'd never find this unless she already knew it was here, which she doesn't.
- [01:29] <[Trm]Nali> Won't she get lonely?
- [01:29] <[GM]Flandre> This won't take that long.
- [01:30] <[Trm]Nali> I don't see where you're going with this.
- [01:30] * [GM]Flandre is an order of magnitude more... what's the word? Melancholy? Not really, but that works. More melancholy than she's seemed at all this past day, or possibly ever.
- [01:31] * [GM]Flandre sits down with her back to the far wall, "feathers" tinkling as she spreads her "wings" along it.
- [01:31] <[GM]Flandre> ...she doesn't have a clue, does she?
- [01:32] <[GM]Flandre> Remi, I mean, of course.
- [01:32] * [Trm]Nali thinks she knows where this is going.
- [01:32] <[Trm]Nali> I'm not sure.
- [01:32] * [GM]Flandre shakes her head slowly.
- [01:32] <[GM]Flandre> If she did, you would be. But she's kinda dense, and forgetful.
- [01:33] <[GM]Flandre> What made you do it?
- [01:34] <[Trm]Nali> There really was no motivation.
- [01:35] * [GM]Flandre scowls, actually scowls up at Nali.
- [01:35] * [Trm]Nali realizes that he has worded that horribly
- [01:35] <[GM]Flandre> Don't give me that. Nobody goes beyond death without a damn good reason.
- [01:36] * [GM]Flandre realizes she has reacted to that horribly.
- [01:36] <[Trm]Nali> Oh, I think we're on two different tracks here.
- [01:36] <[GM]Flandre> Oh... what'd you think I meant?
- [01:38] <[Trm]Nali> Gender... Nevermind.
- [01:39] <[GM]Flandre> Oh, *that*?
- [01:40] * [GM]Flandre lightens the atmosphere by giggling a little.
- [01:40] <[GM]Flandre> No, no, that's no big deal. I mean, it might be, but girls like me don't make jokes like that.
- [01:42] <[Trm]Nali> Of course, I know.
- [01:42] <[Trm]Nali> Shall we try this again?
- [01:43] * [GM]Flandre sombers back up.
- [01:44] <[GM]Flandre> If you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you.
- [01:51] <[Trm]Nali> There isn't much to it, you know?
- [01:51] <[Trm]Nali> If you're talking about my extended life.
- [01:54] <[Trm]Nali> It's not that death ever worried me, it's just that I'm not adventurous.
- [01:55] <[Trm]Nali> You know, death and reincarnation.
- [01:56] <[Trm]Nali> I could have allowed myself to experience both and maybe be born into something exciting, but I was content.
- [01:56] * [GM]Flandre tilts her head quizzically.
- [01:57] <[GM]Flandre> I don't get it.
- [01:58] <[Trm]Nali> There really isn't much to get. I simply didn't care to live a different life so I decided to stick with this one.
- [01:59] * [GM]Flandre frowns, but not anywhere close to as severely as she did before.
- [02:00] <[GM]Flandre> I still don't really get it... but never mind.
- [02:01] <[GM]Flandre> What made you follow us, then? I find it hard to believe this is a coincidence.
- [02:03] <[Trm]Nali> I thought we were friends? That's why I'm here. Like I said, I was content with the way things were going for me.
- [02:04] <[Trm]Nali> I'm not all that partial to change. Once again, not very adventurous of me.
- [02:04] <[GM]Flandre> Oh... ohhhhhhh...
- [02:04] * [GM]Flandre gets a dawning look.
- [02:05] <[GM]Flandre> You just... wanted the old days to come back? Or rather, you wanted them to never leave...
- [02:05] <[Trm]Nali> Exactly, it's childish now that I think of it.
- [02:06] <[GM]Flandre> Yeah...
- [02:06] * [GM]Flandre gazes down sadly at a stray rock and kicks at it with one foot, still seated.
- [02:06] <[GM]Flandre> I wish they would come back, though...
- [02:07] <[GM]Flandre> I miss the sun... I miss playing with you and sis...
- [02:08] * [GM]Flandre pushes herself up off the floor and brushes the dust from the seat of her skirt, eyes still downward.
- [02:08] <[Trm]Nali> Don't look like that.
- [02:08] <[Trm]Nali> We are in the middle of a game.
- [02:09] * [GM]Flandre tosses her head and scoffs, a decidedly unchildlike gesture.
- [02:10] <[GM]Flandre> There's no game here.
- [02:10] <[GM]Flandre> Games are fun, because you don't know who's going to win.
- [02:10] <[GM]Flandre> But I can't lose anymore. That's why she put me down here.
- [02:11] <[GM]Flandre> I might get caught, but only if I let it happen.
- [02:12] <[Trm]Nali> I can't say I've ever thought of that before.
- [02:17] <[GM]Flandre> I can't think of anything else.
- [02:18] <[Trm]Nali> Are you sure you always win?
- [02:19] <[GM]Flandre> What do you mean?
- [02:20] <[Trm]Nali> Marisa is just being nice to us.
- [02:21] <[Trm]Nali> I'm sure that brat would be fun to play with if she tried.
- [02:21] <[GM]Flandre> She has tried.
- [02:22] <[GM]Flandre> That shrine maiden, I dunno if you've met her yet, but she tried, too. They both tried really hard.
- [02:23] <[GM]Flandre> If I'd tried as hard as they did, I'd have broken them. But it was so much fun that I stopped short and let them win, so that they'd come back and do it again.
- [02:23] <[GM]Flandre> Marisa's come back... a couple of times since then. But that's it.
- [02:27] <[Trm]Nali> I know what could be fun.
- [02:32] <[Trm]Nali> We could team up with Marisa and play upstairs.
- [02:33] <[GM]Flandre> ...what?
- [02:35] <[Trm]Nali> Who's going to stop us?
- [02:36] <[GM]Flandre> W, well...
- [02:36] <[GM]Flandre> The... the door's more than just locked, you know...
- [02:37] <[Trm]Nali> And what else would it be?
- [02:39] <[GM]Flandre> It's... I dunno. Sealed, somehow. To keep whatever's inside, inside.
- [02:40] <[GM]Flandre> Unless you have the key, there's no getting out of here... I've tried, believe me, I've tried.
- [02:40] <[Trm]Nali> What about the ceiling?
- [02:41] * [GM]Flandre rolls her eyes.
- [02:41] <[GM]Flandre> I've tried. Everything.
- [02:41] <[GM]Flandre> It's just... not that easy.
- [02:42] <[Trm]Nali> You've Low? )
- [02:42] <[Trm]Nali> [02:33] <Ataisai> the real mooninites
- [02:42] <[Trm]Nali> [02:33] <~[GM]Flandre> D:
- [02:42] <[Trm]Nali> You've tried everything.
- [02:42] <[Trm]Nali> But I can get us out.
- [02:42] <[GM]Flandre> How?
- [02:47] <[Trm]Nali> You'll see, but first we need that witch.
- [02:47] * [GM]Flandre considers, then grins. Happily?
- [02:47] <[GM]Flandre> You always were the one coming up with the schemes.
- [02:47] <[GM]Flandre> Leave it to me!
- [02:48] <[GM]Flandre> Oh, wiat.
- [02:48] <[GM]Flandre> *wait
- [02:48] * [GM]Flandre grabs Nali's arm and tugs him back through the wall.
- [02:48] <[GM]Flandre> There. Head back to the bedroom, I'll meet you there.
- [02:48] * [GM]Flandre flies off down the hall and out of sight.
- [02:48] <[Trm]Nali> Damn... Left or right?
- [02:50] <[GM]Flandre> [By generally heading in one direction, you manage to find your way back alright.]
