  1. Jul 19 20:27:07 <Melons> Melanie stares out to sea, sitting on the rail of the deck. Being a monster is starting to get easier.
  2. Jul 19 20:29:07 <Knox> 5d6+5 You know how someone walks up behind you all quiet-like without intending to be a dick but they still kind of startle you because they forget toa nnounce their presence and suddenly they're there?
  3. Jul 19 20:29:08 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, You know how someone walks up behind you all quiet-like without intending to be a dick but they still kind of startle you because they forget toa nnounce their presence and suddenly they're there?: 20 [5d6=4,1,4,3,3]
  4. Jul 19 20:29:32 <Melons> 3d6+4 Crit perception, go.
  5. Jul 19 20:29:33 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Crit perception, go.: 14 [3d6=3,3,4]
  6. Jul 19 20:29:46 * Melons remains blissfully unaware.
  7. Jul 19 20:31:26 <Knox> Because Knox is doing that, now leaning forward on the railing next to Melanie. "Ugh. Bit of dead time until Abalone. Was going to just sleep it out for a bit but I couldn't settle. Nice weather, at least." he comments, loo, looking out at the impending rain coming their way.
  8. Jul 19 20:31:49 <Melons> 6d6+3 Melanie struggles to not fall off into the sea.
  9. Jul 19 20:31:50 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Melanie struggles to not fall off into the sea.: 27 [6d6=3,1,6,5,5,4]
  10. Jul 19 20:32:15 <Melons> She miracluously ends up freaking out, falling over the side, but catching the edge of the railing with her foot. "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
  11. Jul 19 20:34:09 <Knox> "...What?" He blinks, staring at the predicament Mel's gotten herself into before leaning over and pulling her back up.
  12. Jul 19 20:34:11 <Knox> 3d6+5 Athletics
  13. Jul 19 20:34:12 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Athletics: 14 [3d6=6,1,2]
  14. Jul 19 20:34:25 <Knox> Melons are pretty heavy, but up she comes.
  15. Jul 19 20:34:46 <Melons> Particularly this melons. "Maybe you don't fucking do that?"
  16. Jul 19 20:35:58 <Knox> "But I wasn't even trying to- fuck it. Fine, sorry." he groans. It seems like he's not in the greatest of moods today and his dickishness is at an all-time low for some reason.
  17. Jul 19 20:36:37 <Melons> "...did you want something?" Melanie seems just as angsty.
  18. Jul 19 20:38:56 <Knox> "...I don't know, wanted to pass the time or something. Hanging out? That's apparently what friends do." he says dryly. "Back on the Eclipse, there were a number of things we'd do to pass the time. Maybe you're interested in sparring or something? I don't even know. I'll just leave you alone if you want." he resumes leaning on the railing again. "Today has kind of been a mixed bag of
  19. Jul 19 20:38:56 <Knox> shittiness."
  20. Jul 19 20:40:04 <Melons> "...sure." Despite not seemingly wearing real clothing besides the partly visible Melkini, Melanie pulls a pokeball out of the area about her waste, in a most fantastically glitchy manner.
  21. Jul 19 20:41:08 <Melons> ...waist
  22. Jul 19 20:41:37 <Knox> 2d6 notice
  23. Jul 19 20:41:38 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, notice: 11 [2d6=6,5]
  24. Jul 19 20:43:33 <Knox> "...Nice trick. If hammerspace is one of the benefits of you-know-what..." He considers that a moment, but leaves it be as he backs up and fishes for a ball himself.
  25. Jul 19 20:44:35 <Melons> "What are you even...whatever." Out pops a magic lamp! 16 initiative+10 the first turn!
  26. Jul 19 20:50:00 <Knox> (Sorry, back)
  27. Jul 19 20:50:50 * Knox sends out QUARK, the Unown!
  28. Jul 19 20:51:02 <Knox> Initiative 20!
  29. Jul 19 20:51:46 <Melons> Djinni shrinks! Minimize.
  30. Jul 19 20:57:59 <Knox> "That isn't going to work." he remarks. "QUARK, Open Umbral Gate!"
  31. Jul 19 20:58:11 <Knox> 1d20 Hidden Power Dark, Keen Eye negates Minimize!
  32. Jul 19 20:58:12 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Hidden Power Dark, Keen Eye negates Minimize!: 7 [1d20=7]
  33. Jul 19 20:58:58 <Melons> Should still miss.
  34. Jul 19 20:59:02 <Melons> Well...wait..
  35. Jul 19 20:59:43 <Knox> 25 special defense, 5 evasion, Hidden Power is AC 2
  36. Jul 19 20:59:51 <Knox> It hits!
  37. Jul 19 20:59:59 <Melons> Illuminate is a thing, but Keen Eye might pierce that as well.
  38. Jul 19 21:00:16 <Knox> Effect: The user’s Accuracy cannot be lowered, their attacks cannot have Accuracy Penalties (such as from Illuminate), the user is immune to the Blind condition (but not Total Blindness), and the user ignores any Evasion not directly derived from Stats (such as from the Instinct Ability, or from moves like Minimize).
  39. Jul 19 21:00:23 <Melons> Ah yeah, then it hits.
  40. Jul 19 21:00:29 <Knox> SPECIFICALLY called out
  41. Jul 19 21:00:48 <Knox> 2d8+10+32
  42. Jul 19 21:00:48 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, 2d8+10+32: 50 [2d8=1,7]
  43. Jul 19 21:01:38 <Melons> The lamp is reeling, but still up!
  44. Jul 19 21:01:51 <Melons> 1d20 Heat Wave the silly words, AC4
  45. Jul 19 21:01:53 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Heat Wave the silly words, AC4: 12 [1d20=12]
  46. Jul 19 21:02:12 <Melons> 3d12+10+26
  47. Jul 19 21:02:13 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, 3d12+10+26: 58 [3d12=8,7,7]
  48. Jul 19 21:02:47 <Melons> And Round Trip to Shadeling!
  49. Jul 19 21:03:16 <Melons> (Actually wait, I used that attack early didn't I...)
  50. Jul 19 21:03:27 <Melons> (Since the initiative bonus would fall off and Quark would go again)
  51. Jul 19 21:04:27 <Knox> QUARK is blasted by the fire, but also still up!
  52. Jul 19 21:05:45 <Knox> "Switch over to ghost type!" he orders QUARK. Seem like he doesn't have to shout out that silly "Open ___ Gate" every time, at least for the unown.
  53. Jul 19 21:05:48 <Knox> 1d20 HP Ghost
  54. Jul 19 21:05:49 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, HP Ghost: 3 [1d20=3]
  55. Jul 19 21:06:19 <Melons> (Since that should have gone before the heat wave, want to just pick up post heat wave? Would be your attack with Banette out)
  56. Jul 19 21:07:35 <Melons> (And that totes misses)
  57. Jul 19 21:09:00 <Knox> (Eh, it's fine)
  58. Jul 19 21:09:06 <Knox> (Just let Shadeling go again)
  59. Jul 19 21:09:23 <Melons> The Banette disappears.
  60. Jul 19 21:10:20 <Knox> Knox frowns. The Unown doesn't actually have moves besides Hidden Power. "Bide your time and wait it out."
  61. Jul 19 21:10:22 <Knox> Pass.
  62. Jul 19 21:10:43 <Melons> 1d20 Phantom Fooooorce
  63. Jul 19 21:10:44 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Phantom Fooooorce: 10 [1d20=10]
  64. Jul 19 21:10:50 <Knox> POW
  65. Jul 19 21:10:54 <Melons> 3d12+10+32
  66. Jul 19 21:10:55 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, 3d12+10+32: 58 [3d12=5,9,2]
  67. Jul 19 21:12:50 <Knox> Again, QUARK reels, looking weak!
  68. Jul 19 21:14:19 <Knox> The unown sends out another wave of Dark energy at the Banette!
  69. Jul 19 21:14:22 <Knox> 1d20 HP Dark
  70. Jul 19 21:14:23 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, HP Dark: 1 [1d20=1]
  71. Jul 19 21:14:47 <Melons> "Oooh, bad luck!"
  72. Jul 19 21:15:09 <Melons> 1d20 The Banette creeps forth and strikes through the hivemindthing. Negative Touch
  73. Jul 19 21:15:11 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, The Banette creeps forth and strikes through the hivemindthing. Negative Touch: 1 [1d20=1]
  74. Jul 19 21:15:25 <Melons> "...the sh-ship moved."
  75. Jul 19 21:18:45 <Knox> "Bad luck." he says, amused. "Mix things up!"
  76. Jul 19 21:18:59 <Knox> 1d20 Hidden Power Fairy
  77. Jul 19 21:19:00 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Hidden Power Fairy: 4 [1d20=4]
  78. Jul 19 21:19:30 <Melons> 1d20 Shadeling uses Negative Touch again as a Priority before the move.
  79. Jul 19 21:19:31 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Shadeling uses Negative Touch again as a Priority before the move.: 7 [1d20=7]
  80. Jul 19 21:19:42 <Knox> YUP
  81. Jul 19 21:19:51 <Melons> 3d8+10+32 Kerzoop
  82. Jul 19 21:19:53 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Kerzoop: 54 [3d8=2,3,7]
  83. Jul 19 21:20:11 <Knox> Aaand it's a KO!
  84. Jul 19 21:20:19 <Knox> very easily one
  85. Jul 19 21:20:47 * Knox swaps out QUARK for Spectrum, the kecleon popping out!
  86. Jul 19 21:21:08 <Melons> Initiative 7 by the way for Shadeling.
  87. Jul 19 21:21:20 <Knox> 4 for spectrum, but you interrupted.
  88. Jul 19 21:21:27 <Melons> Prioritized, technically.
  89. Jul 19 21:21:29 * Aori_Radidjiu has changed the topic to: Shadeling > Spectrum
  90. Jul 19 21:21:42 <Knox> 1d20 Feint Attack crit check, Protean to Dark type.
  91. Jul 19 21:21:43 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Feint Attack crit check, Protean to Dark type.: 4 [1d20=4]
  92. Jul 19 21:22:09 <Melons> Hits!
  93. Jul 19 21:23:39 <Knox> Oh right
  94. Jul 19 21:23:45 <Knox> (I keep getting distracted ;-;)
  95. Jul 19 21:23:57 <Knox> 2d8+10+22
  96. Jul 19 21:23:57 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, 2d8+10+22: 42 [2d8=2,8]
  97. Jul 19 21:24:09 <Knox> +2, it's 24 attack
  98. Jul 19 21:25:09 <Melons> Hits, but doesn't seem to do all that much.
  99. Jul 19 21:25:48 <Melons> Banette disappears again.
  100. Jul 19 21:26:16 <Knox> Spectrum makes a substitute!
  101. Jul 19 21:27:14 <Melons> 1d20 Hit a doll
  102. Jul 19 21:27:14 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Hit a doll: 2 [1d20=2]
  103. Jul 19 21:27:28 <Melons> Or don't do that.
  104. Jul 19 21:27:46 <Melons> Round Trip swap to Kei!
  105. Jul 19 21:30:18 <Knox> Whose turn then?
  106. Jul 19 21:30:25 <Melons> Yours.
  107. Jul 19 21:30:30 <Knox> Does round trip mess with the ini- okay
  108. Jul 19 21:30:41 <Melons> It would, but it's 1v1 and the relative difference is the same.
  109. Jul 19 21:31:01 * Aori_Radidjiu has changed the topic to: Kei > Spectrum
  110. Jul 19 21:31:59 <Melons> (Also these are limit 3 mons, so my mons have been completely revealed)
  111. Jul 19 21:32:18 <Knox> Okay, so Spectrum rushes at Kei with a Fire Punch, switching type again with Protean!
  112. Jul 19 21:32:20 <Knox> 1d20 Fire Punch
  113. Jul 19 21:32:20 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Fire Punch: 3 [1d20=3]
  114. Jul 19 21:32:27 <Melons> Whiff.
  115. Jul 19 21:32:35 <Knox> He flares up with SUN ENERGY and swings, missing, before poofing into a doll once more.
  116. Jul 19 21:33:03 <Melons> 1d20 Vacuum Wave to prevent any kind of counter priority bullshit!
  117. Jul 19 21:33:04 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Vacuum Wave to prevent any kind of counter priority bullshit!: 11 [1d20=11]
  118. Jul 19 21:33:16 <Melons> 2d6+8+28+14 Kerslpoosh
  119. Jul 19 21:33:17 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Kerslpoosh: 55 [2d6=1,4]
  120. Jul 19 21:37:21 <Knox> The substitute barely holds up!
  121. Jul 19 21:37:32 <Knox> Fire type isn't weak to Fighting, after all.
  122. Jul 19 21:38:13 <Knox> 1d20 Shadow Sneak to ALSO prevent counter priority bullshit? I think.
  123. Jul 19 21:38:13 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Shadow Sneak to ALSO prevent counter priority bullshit? I think.: 10 [1d20=10]
  124. Jul 19 21:38:25 <Knox> 2d6+8+24 and changing type to Ghost
  125. Jul 19 21:38:26 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, and changing type to Ghost: 37 [2d6=1,4]
  126. Jul 19 21:40:41 <Melons> 1d20 Things, Ghostly Grasp crit check not like it matters
  127. Jul 19 21:40:41 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Things, Ghostly Grasp crit check not like it matters: 20 [1d20=20]
  128. Jul 19 21:40:44 <Melons> Fuck you dicey
  129. Jul 19 21:40:48 <Melons> Fuck you in the face.
  130. Jul 19 21:41:13 <Melons> 4d8+10+28+14 GOOD THING THIS DOESN'T CARRY PAST THE DOLL.
  131. Jul 19 21:41:14 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, GOOD THING THIS DOESN'T CARRY PAST THE DOLL.: 66 [4d8=7,3,3,1]
  132. Jul 19 21:41:31 <Knox> The doll explodes into a million pieces, revealing the Kecleon!
  133. Jul 19 21:41:36 <Knox> 1d20 Shadow Sneak again
  134. Jul 19 21:41:37 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Shadow Sneak again: 7 [1d20=7]
  135. Jul 19 21:42:35 <Melons> (Wait, did I do the math wrong? I don't think that doll should have still managed to be up?)
  136. Jul 19 21:43:01 <Knox> The doll had 27 HP and it was dealt 25 by the vacuum wave
  137. Jul 19 21:43:15 <Melons> (55-25 is 30? Do you have other stats from something?)
  138. Jul 19 21:43:46 <Knox> ... oh
  139. Jul 19 21:43:49 <Knox> MY math is bad
  140. Jul 19 21:43:52 <Knox> DERP
  141. Jul 19 21:44:02 <Knox> Then the substitute broke and Spectrum is crit!
  142. Jul 19 21:44:32 <Melons> That shadow sneak misses by the way.
  143. Jul 19 21:44:41 <Knox> Spectrum is BARELY up and misses his retaliation!
  144. Jul 19 21:45:11 <Melons> 1d20 Hidden Power ghostsplosion
  145. Jul 19 21:45:13 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Hidden Power ghostsplosion: 18 [1d20=18]
  146. Jul 19 21:45:40 <Melons> 2d6+10+28+14
  147. Jul 19 21:45:40 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, 2d6+10+28+14: 59 [2d6=1,6]
  148. Jul 19 21:45:59 <Knox> Kaboom! Spectrum goes down!
  149. Jul 19 21:46:25 * Knox swaps him out. "...and I'm getting stompted. Figures." he snorts. "Let's turn this shit around, Oscilla!"
  150. Jul 19 21:46:32 <Knox> Out comes the Malamar, speed 21!
  151. Jul 19 21:46:35 <Melons> "Not exactly THAT stomped..."
  152. Jul 19 21:47:21 <Knox> what was Kei's speed?
  153. Jul 19 21:47:26 <Melons> 26
  154. Jul 19 21:47:38 <Knox> I think Oscilla still gets to move then
  155. Jul 19 21:47:46 <Knox> ...maybe? I forget how this works
  156. Jul 19 21:47:56 <Knox> Anyway, she comes out swinging with PSYCHO CUT
  157. Jul 19 21:47:58 <Knox> 1d20
  158. Jul 19 21:47:59 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, 1d20: 8 [1d20=8]
  159. Jul 19 21:48:02 <Melons> It would be more work to include trainer speeds, so just assume a fainted switch still lets you act if you hadn't yet acted.
  160. Jul 19 21:48:07 <Melons> Miss
  161. Jul 19 21:48:46 <Melons> 1d20 Knox retaliates with the flying might of his foot.
  162. Jul 19 21:48:48 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Knox retaliates with the flying might of his foot.: 10 [1d20=10]
  163. Jul 19 21:48:50 <Melons> ...er...Kei
  164. Jul 19 21:48:54 <Melons> AC2
  165. Jul 19 21:49:09 * Knox is Melanie's pokemon now. ;-;
  166. Jul 19 21:49:22 <Knox> That does indeed hit.
  167. Jul 19 21:49:31 <Melons> 4d10+15+28+14 Kerkicked
  168. Jul 19 21:49:32 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Kerkicked: 83 [4d10=10,4,10,2]
  169. Jul 19 21:49:38 <Knox> Holy shit.
  170. Jul 19 21:50:52 <Knox> She takes massive damage from that! She then pulses in a rhythm that automatically puts Kei to sleep!
  171. Jul 19 21:50:56 <Knox> Hypnotic Hypnosis!
  172. Jul 19 21:51:47 <Melons> 1d20 Quick, wake up!
  173. Jul 19 21:51:48 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Quick, wake up!: 7 [1d20=7]
  174. Jul 19 21:51:52 <Melons> Or don't.
  175. Jul 19 21:52:07 <Knox> 1d20 PSYCHO CUT THE SECOND
  176. Jul 19 21:52:07 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, PSYCHO CUT THE SECOND: 5 [1d20=5]
  177. Jul 19 21:52:19 <Melons> Stupid sleep ;-; Totes hits
  178. Jul 19 21:52:48 <Knox> 2d10+10+23
  179. Jul 19 21:52:48 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, 2d10+10+23: 47 [2d10=7,7]
  180. Jul 19 21:53:02 <Melons> Kei is massively KOed. ;-;
  181. Jul 19 21:54:03 <Melons> The lamp comes back out! 16 Initiative +10 this first turn.
  182. Jul 19 21:54:28 <Knox> Faster than Oscilla!
  183. Jul 19 21:54:53 <Melons> 1d20 It explodes with its second Heat Wave!
  184. Jul 19 21:54:54 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, It explodes with its second Heat Wave!: 9 [1d20=9]
  185. Jul 19 21:54:57 <Melons> AC4
  186. Jul 19 21:55:13 <Knox> Hits
  187. Jul 19 21:55:27 <Melons> 3d12+10+26 Kerfloosh
  188. Jul 19 21:55:28 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Kerfloosh: 59 [3d12=3,8,12]
  189. Jul 19 21:56:14 <Knox> And with poor Oscilla weakened from Kei's mighty blow and no priority moves of her own... she's KO'd, at -7.
  190. Jul 19 21:57:23 * Knox pops his neck, watching this for a moment, before recalling the squid. "That's three. You kicked my ass." he stares for a moment, making it unclear whether he's pissed or not, but then he grins. "Not bad."
  191. Jul 19 21:57:56 <Melons> "Still too far to go."
  192. Jul 19 21:58:17 <Knox> "You and me both, then."
  193. Jul 19 21:58:44 <Knox> "I don't really give a shit about the league, but if we're stopping in Abalone... might be a good chance to sharpen up."
  194. Jul 19 21:59:18 <Melons> "I only have enough interest to compete for the point that I can get a research grant or something...but...it's a bit hard when you focus on one type."
  195. Jul 19 22:00:06 <Melons> Melanie rubs her lamp affectionately...burning her hand a little in the process with a sour look.
  196. Jul 19 22:01:08 <Knox> "Literally everyone in the league tends to focus on one type, doesn't usually slow them down. I like poison types, obviously, but don't center my style around them."
  197. Jul 19 22:01:38 <Melons> "Not the challengers though...challengers generally do things more...sensibly. Mirai kicked my ass last time we...hey...how...how do you do the zero shits thing?"
  198. Jul 19 22:01:47 <Knox> "Having some kind of focus really does give you an edge in this kind of thing."
  199. Jul 19 22:01:56 <Knox> "What zero shits thing? About losing?"
  200. Jul 19 22:02:32 <Melons> "No...the...zero shits thing about other people. I mean, pretty sure you'd fight tooth and nail for someone if you had to...but even with people you like you're...so...cool?"
  201. Jul 19 22:06:13 <Knox> "I just don't let myself get worked up over things that don't matter. Everyone has their breaking point, though." he says a bit sourly, though not directed at Mel, before he turns and leans out over the rail.
  202. Jul 19 22:07:06 <Melons> "...Mirai and I broke up. Or...I broke up with her..." She slides back to her normal witch form for the first time in a while.
  203. Jul 19 22:07:21 <Knox> "...what? Is this because of what I did?"
  204. Jul 19 22:08:21 <Melons> "No...she shouldn't have even been with me in the first place. And then I thoughted Auriga wanted me but she didn't, and then Luna and I went and saw Kanaloa and as the result of a bunch of shit she owed me so I made her be in a relationship with me for a week...I fucking suck at this."
  205. Jul 19 22:14:44 <Knox> "..." he's quiet a moment. "Well, I sure as fuck don't have any advice to give, I don't really do the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing, as you know. Is that why you were acting off this morning? ...well, anyway. If you felt like you had to break up with her, that's your business."
  206. Jul 19 22:15:04 <Knox> "...But you still feel bad about it, which is why you asked how to give zero shits."
  207. Jul 19 22:16:35 <Knox> "..." he awkwardly scratches the back of his head. "I'm really not an expert advice giver for this kind of thing. I break hearts more easily than I can fix them."
  208. Jul 19 22:17:50 <Melons> Melanie walks to the rail next to him and puts her head on his shoulder. "...did I take it too far with the prisoners?"
  209. Jul 19 22:21:33 <Knox> He's surprised at the sort-of- affection she's giving from that,but doesn't really flinch. "...You're probably asking the wrong person. I went in ready to slowly melt their flesh off. But given they weren't actually part of aether, and that they could be turned to help us instead, probably in our best interest not to go -too- far. I saw the way the chick flinched when she mindread you,
  210. Jul 19 22:21:33 <Knox> but other than that... I guess I can't call you too heavily on what you did? There is some deal of restraint you have to show with these things. I probably would have stopped you if you went too far, as ridiculous as that sounds."
  211. Jul 19 22:22:52 <Melons> "Hm...think they'll stay? Or try to stab me and run away?"
  212. Jul 19 22:24:18 <Knox> "I think we made it clear that we have connections that can and will track them down if they bail. But Pierce also made it clear he's probably willing to do stupid shit if you mess with Shyla too much. As of right now, no, I don't think they'll do anything, but I'm not exactly a great judge of people, myself."
  213. Jul 19 22:26:05 <Melons> "...did you really not see the similarity between their predicament and yours?"
  214. Jul 19 22:27:10 <Knox> "Aether really hadn't turned on them yet, which was a pretty big detail. Besides that, yeah, I guess there are some similarities?"
  215. Jul 19 22:28:06 <Melons> "What do you think Aether'd do if we let them go?"
  216. Jul 19 22:28:30 <Knox> "Losing their entire white water division... yeah, probably would have hunted them down afterwards."
  217. Jul 19 22:28:57 <Knox> "I'm going to guess they'd opt for the mind control suits over killing them though."
  218. Jul 19 22:30:23 <Melons> "...how do you make a telepath with no reason to trust you trust you?"
  219. Jul 19 22:33:35 <Knox> "Good question. I hate dealing with mindreaders, sometimes." he thinks. "If they can check your thoughts, then usual manipulation isn't going to work very well. Maybe try to open up a little. Not fucking spewing your soul out, I guess, but little by little bring up things that put your situations in similar lights or something. Give yourself common ground with her?"
  220. Jul 19 22:33:59 <Knox> "Don't be too much of a hardass, but don't immediately become buddy buddy either."
  221. Jul 19 22:34:04 <Melons> "...I already gave her the image of me pulling her eyes out...barehanded."
  222. Jul 19 22:34:11 <Knox> "Nice." he says flatly.
  223. Jul 19 22:34:32 <Knox> "You've got some work ahead of you, then."
  224. Jul 19 22:34:57 <Melons> "Also how do you stay friends with someone you broke up with?"
  225. Jul 19 22:35:16 <Knox> "In this case... I'd probably get other people involved. If she can't trust you directly, have her trust you through others trusting you."
  226. Jul 19 22:35:26 <Knox> "..."
  227. Jul 19 22:35:57 <Knox> "I'm telling you, I'm shit at this, but let's see. That entirely depends on how the breakup went. Did you let her down gently?"
  228. Jul 19 22:36:51 <Melons> "In twenty years on this earth, I'd only really made two friends. So...I spewed out the entirety of what happened last night since she blacked out the moment whatshertits wanted her body and included the breaking up bit in there. So...no, not really..."
  229. Jul 19 22:37:34 <Knox> "..."
  230. Jul 19 22:37:55 <Melons> "Hey, you're still infinitely better than I am at it."
  231. Jul 19 22:38:36 <Knox> "Okay, here's the thing. Mirai is probably the most reasonable person I've met on this ship, but even that's probably going to be a shock. You should go back, talk to her, apologize and explain your reasoning better."
  232. Jul 19 22:39:08 <Melons> "To be fair, I've tried to tell her to find someone better like two other times and she refused to see that I'm a horrible person."
  233. Jul 19 22:41:17 <Knox> "That's generally a -preferable- trait in someone you want to be in a relationship with."
  234. Jul 19 22:41:57 <Melons> "Yeah, which is why she should be with someone better. And not a literal monster in addition to metaphorical."
  235. Jul 19 22:44:01 <Knox> "You're really shitting on your self-esteem." he says, looking at her. "The fuck is wrong with being a monster, anyway?"
  236. Jul 19 22:45:03 <Melons> "Oh, no I just know what the score is. She's awesome and nice and all that, and I'm a bitch. It makes no sense for her to do that to herself. Also I'm pretty sure Mele...Lesieli's job is to kill me."
  237. Jul 19 22:45:44 <Lesieli> (Uh, wha? Not that I'll stop you from thinking that~)
  238. Jul 19 22:46:17 <Melons> (Mele keeps shit from getting out of line, Melanie shouldn't exist and even Swanna wanted it destroyed, it's an easy assumption!)
  239. Jul 19 22:46:34 <Melons> (*Missingno)
  240. Jul 19 22:52:29 <Knox> "We'll burn that bridge after we cross it, rather than before it. Anyway, if you feel like it's not going to work out, then that's your decision."
  241. Jul 19 22:53:23 <Melons> Melanie nods. "So...just to be sure...I am the craziest one on the boat, right?"
  242. Jul 19 22:58:26 <Knox> "Honestly? I have no fucking clue."
  243. Jul 19 22:58:36 <Melons> She froooooowns. "Reeeeeeeeeeally?"
  244. Jul 19 23:01:26 <Knox> "We have Mack, who keeps acting like this is some kind of movie, and.." he considers a moment. "...No, I think Phantasia's just eccentric. Marie last night count? Maybe not. ...Yeah, Okay, you can be the craziest one on board, sure." he says flatly.
  245. Jul 19 23:01:48 <Melons> "I don't think you reeeeeeally mean it."
  246. Jul 19 23:08:04 <Knox> "It's just a crazy question to ask." he says, tongue in cheek.
  247. Jul 19 23:08:45 <Melons> "...you honestly expected anything less?"
  248. Jul 19 23:10:02 <Knox> He honestly seems a bit amused that she thinks being crazy is a compliment.
  249. Jul 19 23:11:41 <Knox> "Maybe not. You -are- the most interesting person on the ship, I'd say. Are you interesting because you're crazy, or crazy because you're interesting? The fuck defines crazy, anyway?"
  250. Jul 19 23:11:49 * Knox shrug.
  251. Jul 19 23:13:15 <Melons> "Preeeeeeetty sure I do~!...and...thanks...for actually like...listening to me..." Knox gets one of the most awkward hugs on the planet. It's like she's trying to hug him as tightly as possible from as far away as possible. "...I'll be in my room..." She turns to leave.
  252. Jul 19 23:15:22 <Knox> "No problem. I think I'll try and get more sleep again, myself. Fucking battles against gods when we should be sleeping... that's two for two."
  253. Jul 19 23:15:46 <Melons> "...Remind me to formally introduce you to Kanaloa some time."
  254. Jul 19 23:16:30 <Knox> "...not sure if that's intriguing or a terrible idea. Probably both."
  255. Jul 19 23:16:47 <Knox> "Hell, I guess I might be up for it sometime."
  256. Jul 19 23:17:22 * Knox starts heading back down.
