Lyra and Alex talk

snuffshotMartyr [SM] began pestering unmotivatedMeatshield [UM]
SM: Hey
SM: Can you do me a favour?
UM: Yeah sure what?
SM: I need you to use your future Internet and find me some information
SM: Can you look up and download webpages about comas, manga, trebuchets, and abortion?
SM: I have a plan
UM: what the fuck
SM: Yes
UM: uh
UM: What am I supposed to be looking for in those things?
SM: Nothing
SM: I just need you to save, you guys have Wikipedia, right? Or some other information database?
SM: Save offline copies of pages for those topics, and send them to me
SM: Please?
UM: yeah sure. I already have the entire thing saved so let me send you those pages.
-- File received! --
SM: Thanks
SM: I owe you one
SM: ... again...
UM: nah you're good
UM: actually can I spend one to ask what the hell youre doing
SM: Manga for art. I wanna get better with my pen
SM: Trebuchets I think will be our key to getting into the queen's castle on Derse. If I can force myself to make one
UM: I wasn't actually talking about those two
SM: Yeah, I figured. Worth a shot, at least
SM: Comas. I've been doing a lot of thinking about the nature of this game
SM: Way back when, I mentioned the possibility of everything being a dream while I die, or am in a coma, or something
SM: On the plus side, that's almost certainly been proven wrong, so shouldn't need to worry about that anymore
SM: I just wanna get information, maybe find some insight into the game
UM: ok that makes sense. What about the other one then
SM: Um
SM: Would it sound stupid if I told you that was a red herring to throw off any mind readers?
UM: No, but now you've ruined it
UM: It cant be a red herring anymore now that they know right
SM: Here's where things get bayesian
SM: I know they know, which means they have to wonder whether it's the real red herring or if it's a fake one meant to cover up the real red herring amongst the other three
SM: And then the question is whether or not it's a herring at all, as opposed to just looking like one
SM: And more importantly, I have the files downloaded. That could still serve to fake someone out
SM: Or I'm lying to you about this whole thing, and it was just an excuse to get some other information out of you
SM: Or keep you distracted, or waste your time
SM: Heck, maybe I didn't do any of this in the first place and I'm just hallucinating doing it
UM: what the fuck lyra
UM: why does this have to be so complicated
SM: Because ~Sabath~
SM: Fun stuff
SM: Full disclosure, I don't know exactly *what* I'm doing
SM: I'm just throwing out as many possibilities as I can think of, and hoping that for once, something will stick
UM: i mean in our last encounter i became able to fight everything and you resurrected
UM: so something worked there
SM: Heh, exactly
SM: So it's clearly a good system
SM: Planning doesn't work, so flail and see what happens
SM: We'll hafta figure out some other way to waste time once I get there
UM: Eh we survived the caves we'll find something
SM: I guess we will
SM: Or things will start to suck again
UM: If we get really bored we can try out this wish and i can one v one the black queen
SM: Two v one.
SM: I ain't letting you have all the fun
SM: :P
UM: nice we can take this torturing bitch anyday
SM: Aww yeah
SM: Just gotta make sure we hit her first so she can't use her stupid spears
UM: Oh right
UM: hopfully i can tank that now though
SM: You probably can, if Mister Spooky Grim Whatever was telling the truth
SM: Issue is if she kills me and I respawn on another planet
SM: Don't wanna miss the regicide
UM: thats why you gotta let me flex my spooky grim wish powers and do this myself
SM: No.
SM: You don't get to leave me out of this
SM: Alex I swear if you steal my kill I will
SM: Um
SM: Well probably just be happy she was dead anyway
SM: But then I'd whine about it a bunch later on
UM: ok that sounds good
UM: oh right do you have any sweet powers from dying all special
SM: Just flight
SM: Pretty useless considering I could just make wings, but hey, not gonna complain
UM: oh
UM: thats it?
SM: Yeah
SM: S'far as I can tell, that's it
SM: Me switching bodies again wasn't that big a deal, I don't think
UM: I expected the whole skull bed thing would be more relevant
SM: ??
UM: Oh right you were dead
UM: that weird death guy was like 'yo put her corpse on this weird skull bed thing' so i did
SM: Huh
SM: Like Byron said, I guess
SM: Shoot, I guess that means Tarane was right after all
SM: She asked if I died on a bed
UM: yeah
UM: well you didnt really die on the bed but you died and then were put on the bed
SM: Yeah
SM: Thanks for that, by the way
SM: Dunno if it did anything, but s'nice that at least one of me got a resting place
UM: yeah
UM: im still not totally sure why you get all the lives
UM: I want some too dammit
SM: Have you died yet?
UM: no
SM: Then maybe you've got just as many extra lives as I do
SM: It's a video game, Alex
SM: You just gotta stop being so tough
UM: i think im going to be just as tough as usual i dont think ill be dying any time soon thank you very much
SM: Then stop saying how much you wanna respawn!
SM: Can't really get back up until you die first
UM: oh shit true
UM: are you on your way to faerzen's?
SM: I'm heading to the cliff place
SM: Then I'll go through the gates until I reach you
UM: alright cool
SM: And then!
SM: Then we get to take the Queen.
UM: yeah gonna fuck that bitch
SM: Enstate ourselves as supreme overlords
UM: if we can get out of those annoying ass cages
SM: Dude
SM: We can smash 'em from the outside once we've got her stupid spears
UM: but im still stuck on the inside, how does that work
SM: Y'ain't in there right now
SM: Either we both head over there right now, then break other-us out
SM: Or I go there myself and let us out to attack the Queen, though that means I gotta get through without being seen by the hive mind
UM: yeah i am on derse im in the cage
SM: Not dream-you
SM: You, right now, in your current awake body
SM: The one where I kinda, um, bled all over your suit
SM: ... and face
UM: oh shit youre right im all bloody
UM: but what is this about dream me
SM: Sorry for that
SM: Didn't mean to
SM: You've got your yellow pyjama body on Derse with other-me, and then there's the awake-you that I'm talking to now
UM: wait I have a Byron pajamas body?
SM: Alex
SM: The yellow Prospit one on Derse in the cage
SM: Not the Byron pyjamas
UM: oh right that.
UM: i haven't slept in a while I sort of forgot
SM: :P
