Memo is now Invite-Only by CAT

CCC made AT an OP.
Memo is no longer Invite-Only by CAT
CURRENT taintedChampion [CTC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CTC: I'm back
CTC: This game
CTC: Is cool again
CAT: Hah.
CTC: Cyan seems awesome by the way
CAT: Hah, thanks.
CAT: These two characters are my children.
CTC: I thought your children were the Favoured Million
CTC: Wait
CTC: Wrong abomination
CAT: I can't associate myself with the Crawling Chaos like that legally anymore, sorry.
CAT: Last time I did, Nyarlathotep filed a lawsuit of cosmic proportions.
CTC: Would you mind if I included that in DTG
CAT: What, the lawsuit, or the Million?
CAT: Either way, go for it. I don't really care.
CAT made AC an OP.
CAT made TC an OP.
CTC: Well
CTC: You don't own the Million
CAT: You think.

CTC: Is anyone gonna show up?
CTC: Or is it just us
CAT: Eh, Generic might soon.
CAT: I'm going to stick around here for about fifteen more minutes before starting, so feel free to do whatever.
CTC: Wowie!
CTC: Fifteen minutes!
CTC: I could do a lot with fifteen minutes
CAT: ... As long as that whatever doesn't incriminate me.
CTC: Goddamnit
CAT: Hah.
CTC: This isn't over
CAT: You can get anybody else arrested, FWI. Just not me.
CAT: *FYI.
CTC: Yay
CTC: Please tell me if we got Plauge Doctor's oufits.
CTC: Those are fucking awesome
CAT: You got Witch-Doctor outfits, which are basically the same, oui.
CTC: Groovy
CTC: Oh my God
CTC: These fuckwits lose relationship points almost religously
CAT: Hah.
CAT: It takes quite a bit of effort to lose things that don't really exist, you know.
CTC: Yeah
CTC: It appears it is up to me now
CTC: To fix their shit
CAT: NOTICE: aeonic oracles cannot and will not write direct romance. Get a life, and some SHARDs.
CTC: I know
CTC: But for fucks sake
CAT: Hah.
CAT: This isn't DTG. DTG-levels of aggression and sociopathy aren't going to help you here.
CTC: This is me we are talking about
CAT: This is true.
CTC: Also for Twin's ARG didn't Tazzy make that noncanon?
CAT: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
CAT: Mayhaps.
CTC: ETA on Oddity?
CAT: Eh, about twenty seconds.
CAT: >Would you like to begin the game?
CTC: >y

CTC: >lazily move laser pointer around, pointing at several objects
CAO: You point at the broken backup engine, the navicomputer, and the back of your chair before stopping.
CAC: >Examine access cubes
CAC: >Open any sides of cube 5082 you haven't already
CAO: Ah, yes. You grabbed 5082, 1011, 0612, and 8751.
CAO: You opened five out of the six faces.
CAC: >Open last face
CTC: >open the six face
CTC: >dramatically
CAO: The sixth face yields... yet another holographic projection of Antonio Vazquez and Alexander Hamilton, this time with an overture of 'It Wasn't Quite Me and It Wasn't Quite You'.
CAC: >Consider incinerating the cube
CTC: >chuckle
CAO: That seems absurd. What if you need it. You opt to chuckle instead.
??? aeonicOracle [?AO] ??:?? FROM ???? responded to memo.
?AO: Cyan looks at you oddly for a few seconds.
CAC: "Yes?"
?AO: "Who's the second guy. The one who isn't Hamilton, or whatever."
CAC: "Uh..."
?AO: Would you like to recall who Antonio Vazquez is before speaking?
CAC: Is he a mexican warlock
CTC: >total recall
?AO: Antonio Vazquez is the Grand Warlock of Mexico, yes. He famously predicted Trump would not get the Republican nomination in the 2016 election, entirely correctly. He is currently regarded as the most famous occultist in the world.
?AO: Mainly because most other governments do not have Grand Warlocks.
CAC: >Tell Cyan that
CTC: >wonder about Crowely
?AO: "..."
?AO: "I'm kind of glad I missed the last election."
CAC: >No comment
CTC: >Fucking Alister Crowely
?AO: A notice on your computer says that Delta is once more online.
CTC: /going to grab a bite to eate
CAC: >Message him
?AO: What shall you say? Or rather, what is the gist of what you shall say?
CAC ceased responding to memo.
CURRENT absoluteCoolness [CAC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CAC: Whoops, what'd I miss
?AO: ?AO: What shall you say? Or rather, what is the gist of what you shall say?
CAC: >Ask about the venator
CAC: >After greetings and such
?AO: Before you say anything, please remember that a) pleasantries are bullshit, and b) you haven't spoke to him since before fighting the Centurion Sorcerer.
CAC: >Well, just tell him everything that happened
CAO made AC an OP.
CAC: >Leave out the illegal thing
?AO: Very well.
?AO: Within three seconds of sending the message, a video chat request pops up on your phone.
CAC: What a massive single message.
CAC: >Accept
?AO: Delta is on the other end, same as ever. You can see him craning his neck to look in the screen for something on your end.
?AO: Cyan and Delta stare at each other like deer in headlights. Sort of.
CAC: >Describe Delta
CAC: >Actually, describe Cyan too while you're at it
?AO: This isn't my job. You're only getting the bare minimum, so you get your personal visions, like with Azure.
CAC: Ah.
CAC: >Let them stare at each other?
?AO: Delta's got the whole military officer deal going on, with the standard Grayholdian imperial robes, and the trademark orchid eyes.
?AO: Cyan, as was aforementioned, is about your height, obviously has cyan eyes, and that's all you're getting.
CAC: ...do you have azure eyes
?AO: You have blue eyes. But, the point here is really that you have blue hair. Dyed, of course.
?AO: These sorts of things don't happen naturally.
CAC: >Watch them stare at each other
?AO: "So, you didn't go insane from inhaling the fumes out there and start sending me bullshit. Huh."
CAC: I'm just going to imagine Azure as Joy from Inside Out.
CAC: >"Apparently not."
CAC: brb
?AO: You would probably be better off imagining her as Lapis in SU.

?AC: Did I miss coloured text or
?AO: Nothing after '?AO: You would probably be better off imagining her as Lapis in SU.'
CAC: >"Apparently not."
?AO: ((I don't think you'll miss colored text anymore? Should I test it?))
CAC: Surr
?AO: .
CAC: Sure
CAC: I saw that, huh
CAC: What changed
?AO: I think it had something to do with the fact that I was using prefix and suffix quirks on the other handle.
CAC: Ah
?AO: Now, I just have one layer of color tags, instead of the double.
?AO: Regardless, back to the conversation.
?AO: "So... hello there."
CAC: Who is he talking to
?AO: "Uh. Hi."
?AO: Cyan.
?AO: Sorry, I had to find the tags on my notes.
CTC: >"Cyan, Delta"
CTC: >"Delta, Cyan"
?AO: "I. We have to report this to the military command. Maybe a Vice Admiral's Secretary."
?AO: He points at the screen, in Cyan's direction, whilst speaking.
CTC: >internally regret not being sneakier
?AO: You're a bit too busy freaking out internally over the word choice to regret that, though you will soon, likely.
?AO: Please enter response.
CTC: >can you convince him to not do that, because we know Grayhold is filled with assholes.
?AO: How would you like to vocalize that?
CAC: >Ask Cyan what she thinks
CTC: >hit mute first
?AO: It's pretty obvious what Cyan thinks. You don't need to speak. Just sort of look at her facial expression.
?AO: Namely, some mixture of sheer fear and anger.
CAC: Hmm
CAC: Can they eavesdrop on us?
CAC: They being grayhold
CTC: I suggest we appeal to his morals
CTC: He knows how fucked up Grayhold is
?AO: SEMPER VIGILANTEM. ANNUIT COEPTIS.
?AO: Gsv vbv lu gsv Xrgzwvo lu gsv Nztv hvvh zoo.
CAC: wat
CTC: They are always watching
CAC: >"I'm sure they know about her already. "
?AO: "I don't think you understand. They know about... this, yeah. But they don't know how serious this might be. People coming out of /superweapons/? I... we need to have her /analyzed/."
CTC: >summon that useless shit Strangelove
?AO: What, you mean turn him on?
CAC: Are gems common knowledge?
?AO: No.
CTC: >Yes, can he explain this shit better
?AO: You weren't aware they existed until you... became one.
?AO: The glowing neon lights on Doctor Kaiser Strangelove, MD, ignite in the relative darkness of the ship.
CAC: Where did we get strangelove's schematic
?AO: Nowhere strictly legal.
?AO: You picked it up on the ship when you won it in the, uh, illegal gambling deal.
CTC: Sabaac
?AO: Hah.
CTC: With Lando
?AO: You mean Ando Calrissien?
?AO: Regardless, Strangelove appraises Delta.
?AO: "NINETY-FIVE PERCENT LOGIC, ZERO REGARD FOR EMOTIONS IN THIS SITUATION. MISS LAPIS, YOU HAVE PICKED A WONDERFUL FRIEND."
CTC: Aw fuck
?AO: "IN MS. AMARANTHINE, THAT IS."
?AO: "NOT THIS... THIS."
?AO: "... What the fuck."
CAC: Is Strangelove the one using 95% logic?
?AO: Strangelove was appraising Delta's mental state. And also using 95% logic as well, yes.
CAC: Wait what
CAC: So is Delta?
?AO: Strangelove was referring to Delta with the 'NINETY-FIVE PERCENT LOGIC, ZERO REGARD FOR EMOTIONS IN THIS SITUATION.'
CAC: Ah.
CTC: He was calling Delta a piece of work
?AO: ^
CTC: Should we have Strangelove explain?
?AO: "Okay, this is insane. I'm reporting this right now."
CTC: Okay
CTC: This is bad
?AO: You can see Delta pull up another holoscreen on the side.
CAC: >"No!"
CTC: >"Bad fucking idea."
?AO: Delta spins around in his chair, looking back at you. "... Why not? It's the right thing to do?"
CAC: Hmm, does Delta know we're a gem.
CAC: Don't say that
?AO: He does not.
CTC: >redact previous command
CAC: But he knows Cyan is.
CAC: ?
?AO: Yes.
?AO: Thanks to YOUR account.
CTC: Goddamnit
CTC: We are sooooooooo fuuuuuucccked
?AO: You can see Cyan slowly backing away from the screen, eyes wide.
CAC: >"It's the thing Grayhold would want... But that doesn't make it the right thing to do."
CAC: "Cyan evidently doesn't want to..."
?AO: "Yep, you clearly don't understand the situation. Grayhold wants what it wants, and the will of His Imminence is the law. End statement."
CAC: Balh
CTC: Goddamnit I have to leave
?AO: Aw.
CTC: Alright Ciao everyone
?AO: We'll be doing this again tomorrow.
CTC: I'll read the recap
CTC ceased responding to memo.
?AO: Anyhow, now it is up to you. Please enter response.
CAC: Hmm, if Delta's using 95% logic...
CAC: >Ask Strangelove to help persuade him
?AO: Strangelove mutes the chat before speaking.
?AO: "MASTER, THIS ISN'T HOW PERSUASION WORKS. HIS LOGIC IS EVIDENTLY BASED AROUND THE LAW. NOT MORALS."
?AO: He unmutes the chat.
CAC: >Remember the pertinent lae
CAC: Law
?AO: There is one law. Verbo eius est lex.
CAC: What does that mean.
?AO: "His word is the law."
CAC: ... Okay, what's his relevant ... Word
?AO: Well, His current word appears to state that Cyan should be reported.
?AO: So there's that.
CAC: >does it say anything about doing it immediately
?AO: Delta continues to type into the side screen.
?AO: You don't really think you have much time. All he seems to need is photographic evidence now. Which he sort of has.
?AO: This is bad.
CAC: Well, the law seems to be soild so...
CAC: Eh
CAC: Blah
?AO: ((Want me to try to get more people in here, to help?))
CAC: Hmm, sure
CAC: I have a desperate idea, but, probably won't work
