SGRUB: The Prying Hackers [MOVED TO 2ND THREAD]

**Quincunx** · 07-27-2011, 09:40 PM

Aw, that's a shame. Mortus was fun. The 50+ pages of in-depth logs we had didn't tip you off, though?

**Phi** · 07-27-2011, 11:12 PM

Yeah, one would hope you'd...you know, done yer homework. OH WELL.

DREAMLOG: Signa talks to Malhaut! There is tea and PLANS.

**kittentoes** · 07-28-2011, 03:39 AM

Malhaut wakes up, tells Gallia the good news about the wizard lizards, and then they go to fight some stuff to wake up.

[02:19] CER RIGHT NOW opened memo on board BITTERSWEET NAP.
[02:22] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] had been woken by her shawl's incessant siren-song, but that doesn't mean she's -moved- from their snuggly-wuggly position on the couch; she's drifted into a comfortable resting state, not asleep, but relaxed, and listening to Malhaut's steady breathing. --
[02:26] CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
[02:26] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus's [CNN'S] previously ultra-content expression has faded into a very neutral sleeping one. If there was every any signs of discontent, they were mild, and spaced between his default sleeping look. --
[02:29] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus's [CNN'S] finear which isn't pressed into the couch (his left) twitches, and his head shifts slightly in position. --
[02:29] CNN: ....mf....
[02:29] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] wouldn't be creepy enough to watch Malhaut while he sleeps, right? ... right? ... yeah, right. Gallia was sad when she woke to see Malhaut's expression wsa contented no more, but it wasn't terribly surprising. When he finally shows signs of waking, Gallia speaks to him, voice soft. --
[02:29] CER: MalhauT...?
[02:37] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] breathes in a little deeper, then sighs quietly alongside a grumble. Normal stretching/waking-up noises that denote the person's being dragged out of a fairly deep sleep. Think of getting up for school or work. Ew. --
[02:42] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] watches him as he wakes, concern not quite able to show itself on her scarred face. She hopes he hasn't gotten into trouble. --
[02:43] CNN: ..fmph... Ooh.... jes... I am avake......
[02:43] CER: welcoume back...
[03:02] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] blinks, his brow furrowing slightly as he groggily opens his eyes. Welcome back?... Oh... wait... --
[03:03] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] notices they're both in the same position as before, basically. He relaxes with a quiet outward breath, then moves the hand that's still on Gallia in a small stroking motion. --
[03:06] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] breathes out, struggling with herself for a moment before she decides to ask, --
[03:06] CER: was iT a bad dream..?
[03:14] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus's [CNN'S] face wears a tired and small smile. He sounds and looks sincere enough...not that he might not be just a tad bit bothered. --
[03:15] CNN: Zankfully noot... Just quite a bit too zink aboout it... Zat is all...
[03:18] -- CURRENT equineReaction's [CER'S] face twitches into a sympathetic smile, and she rubs at his back, underneath his cloak. --
[03:18] CER: can I help, MalhauT?
[03:24] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] appears lulled by this rubbing, his eyelids drifting downwards some, but falling asleep again would be stupid. Heck, this is probably from Derse's damned tea. His dreamself's probably still sleeping a little light. --
[03:26] CNN: It is fine... Zere is noozing too help viz...
[03:27] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] hums contentedly in his chest though; He's at least glad that depressing thoughts can be combated with real solutions. --
[03:28] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] hums acknowledgement, but doesn't quite stop petting Malhaut's back. She can at least be sympathetic, right..? --
[03:29] CNN: ...Alzoough... I doo believe I may have soomezing too help viz joour curse...
[03:29] CER: ... ouh?
[03:32] CNN: ...Mh... I zink soo...
[03:32] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] breathes out again and shifts a little, if only to help wake him up a bit. He'd snuggle in closer to Gallia, but...MUST NOT FALL ASLEEP AGAIN VIA BEING TOO COMFY --
[03:33] CNN: ...Gallia, joour coonsoorts... Zey voork viz magic... Zeir culture is quite invoolved in it... Maybe joour soolutioon lies viz zem...
[03:37] CER: ... a magical... ouh, ouf course! why didn'T I Think ouf This?!
[03:37] CER: iT's sou simple!
[03:38] CNN: Heh... I knoov, right?... I shoould have zoought oof it sooner myself...
[03:45] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] purses her lips in thought, keeps her voice quiet as she says, --
[03:46] CER: buT righT nouw, Their magic is dampened by The Denizen. I may have Tou kill The Denizen, firsT.
[03:49] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus's [CNN'S] left and exposed finear has been pretty droopy this whole time, just from his drowsiness, although it probably adds to the slight frown that comes to his face after she says that. But, it soon fades away and is left with the expression he had before. A slight smile. --
[03:51] CNN: Perhaps... Perhaps... But at least zere seems too be a soolutioon in sight... Alsoo, if joou are lucky, zey still might have soomezing too at least make joour situatioon a bit less stressful...
[03:53] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] smiles, inclining her head a little in something like a nod. --
[03:53] CER: There's houpe yeT, MalhauT.
[04:27] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] returns the semi-nod. He would mention having a cup of tea with Signa, but he decides to save that for later, since, along with the pleasantness of her dreamself seeming functional, he'd have to point out the matter of the horrorterror's voices getting to her easier than before. He'd rather not make her worry about something right now.

--
[04:53] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] lifts her hand from under his cloak, to trail down his cheek with curled fingers. --
[04:53] CER: iT's gooud news. Thank you.
[05:00] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] nods again, slowly, only slightly as she does so. Comfy... Sleepy... Duuuurrrpp... He blinks a little harder a couple of times before huffing out quietly, still contented. --
[05:01] CNN: It is fine... Alsoo, soorry. I just cannoot seem too vake myself up toonight.
[05:04] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] snorts, cupping Malhaut's chin in her hand and flashing a lopsided grin for a moment before beginning to shift her weight upwards. --
[05:04] CER: geTTing up generally helps, mm?
[05:06] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] blinks some more, then removes his cuddled-up grip on her to sit up slowly. He can't restrain a yawn, which plainly shows those pearly whites of his. Raaaaawr... Mh. --
[05:07] CNN: Ooi... Jes... Jes it dooes.
[05:09] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] chuckles, and reaches over to take one of his hands in her firm grip. God why is that so adorable she just wants to pick him up and hug him. --
[05:10] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] trails her other hand along the couch, to the arm, where she finds her glasses. She slips them on, and shakes her head to chase away lingering drowsy-feelings. --
[05:13] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] just kind of sits there at first, but he also partakes in head-shakery to get back to reality a little better. It works to a degree, and he takes his free hand and rubs his eyes, then turns to Gallia with a smile still on his face. --
[05:15] CNN: ...Mh... Perhaps a strooll voould be a good idea. Heh... Noozing helps too vake a trooll better zan slaughter, right?
[05:16] CER: hm... shall we make a daTe ouf iT?
[05:19] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] nods lazily. --
[05:19] CNN: Jes... I doo believe zat voould be quite nice... Anyvays, I vanted too test and see if zis clooak gets in ze vay too much...
[05:22] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] yawns, showing off her fangs, and then releases Malhaut's hand and picks herself off of the couch. --
[05:24] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] follows suit, then stretches good and long. A crack or two follows. Very painful sounding, but very good feeling. --
[05:26] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] herself rolls her shoulders back, stretching out. Hooooraugh. --
[05:29] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] fishes out his whip from his pocket so he has it at hand. --
[05:30] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] also readjusts his clothing so it's nice and straight, tucking his scarf back where it should be. It'll feel odd fighting in this cloak, but...better to test it out now than find out later when it's no longer convenient. --
[05:31] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] just whips her gloves out of her strife deck - they're sleeker things, now, not boxing gloves but combat gloves, with something like coral on the knuckles and hollow needle-tip points. --
[05:31] CER: sou - ready Tou hunT?
[05:36] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] turns to her, then fondly regards his matesprit's new COMBAT GLOOOVESSS WROOAARRGHHH!!... He approves. --
[05:36] CNN: Quite, and I see joou have a coouple oof nev friends zere?
[05:37] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] snorts, in a whuff, and grins lopsidedly. It's kind of a sinister expression on her scarred face. --
[05:39] CER: This oune's diploumacy and The ouTher oune's negouTiaTioun. leT's gou lay douwn Terms.
[05:40] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus's [CNN'S] expression goes from pleasant to devious as he smirks a bit crookedly, his teeth poking out. --
[05:43] CNN: Ah, jes~... A voonderful idea, mh?
[05:44] CNN: And, if zey doo noot vish too agree too zem...zey vill be finding zemselves in quite ze predicament anyvays. Hehe...~
[05:47] -- CURRENT equineReaction's [CER'S] grin has shades of a smirk, and her tone is wicked. She turns to the door - which is probably significant, because it means she's showing her back to him without expecting attack - and heads for the door, speaking over her shoulder, --
[05:48] CER: you knouw whaT They say abouT unsuspecTing prey~
[05:49] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] notices this, buuut...he's not planning on A. Getting a fist to the face, or B. doing it again, which very well may be brought on by getting her from behind %D --
[06:09] CNN: Mh, joou mean aboout zem being terribly easy too filet?
[06:09] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] frowns. --
[06:10] CNN: ...
[06:10] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] shakes his head and follows her out. Was that just a?...Gog, nevermind. He's not even going to think about it. --
[06:10] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] laughs at his misfortune, but mercifully, she doesn't call him out. Ohohoho~ --
[06:13] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] huffs quietly, then mutters to himself about how he's letting himself slip in that department. Damn seadwelling genes. Natural addiction to seapuns my ass. --
[06:14] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] then spends some quality time porking enemies --
[06:15] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] engages the enemies in a thoughtful and considerate discussion concerning their opposing viewpoints. In case it wasn't clear, she punched them. --
[06:37] CNN ceased responding to memo.

PERSEA PERSEA PERSEA PERSEA HE IS SO ADORABLE

Nibz and Persea talk:

And some more...

annnd a bit more

**BucketJockey** · 07-28-2011, 03:35 PM

Persea is cute but someone else is cuter.

**Quiskiver** · 07-28-2011, 05:34 PM

To make up for my absence of late, I'll won't be on for a tad longer....few days tops.

**ChameleonSushi** · 07-28-2011, 10:55 PM

NN and TP: Get randomly messaged by another poor troll flailing to get in a sessi-...Wait... This guy seems familiar somehow.

(Oh! Courtesy of BJ: "Mind you, Persea sat in his oceany hidey-spot and sobbed for 5 minutes before actually messaging Malhaut. This is necessary to know.")

**kittentoes** · 07-29-2011, 12:31 AM

Gallia and Persea: Who's this douchebag? ... he's pathetic.

**Quincunx** · 07-29-2011, 12:48 AM

Aragua: Who's this poor pathetic seadweller?

Get scolded for your poor eating habits:

Cuddle with moirail:

**Monster X** · 07-29-2011, 11:39 AM

I'm afraid to say that I can't keep up this much longer. I've been inactive for a very long time, and my pesterchum isn't really gonna work... So I'm afraid I must be leaving the RP. I've already worked it out with Chameleon Sushi, so that's all done... Thanks for everything, guys!

Here's Jezron's ending post.

**kittentoes** · 07-30-2011, 03:36 AM

Malhaut and Gallia feel the sting of losing a teammate (if only for his matesprits' sake), worry about Signa, make plans to fill the hole left by Jezron, and flirt some more.

Goddamn trolls always making everything about romance.

[04:47] CER RIGHT NOW opened memo on board DEAD IN A MINER.
[04:49] CBJ ceased responding to memo.
[04:52] CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
[04:52] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] has been out and about today with Gallia for the most part, slaying enemies and whatnot. Further perfecting battle techniquest. In Gallia's case, probably getting used to her new fighting gloves. The normal grind. At the present moment, they've take a stop in a fairly safe area (either that or the enemies have just learned to avoid them!) --
[04:52] CNN: *taken]]
[04:54] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] had, at some point in the battle, taken a syringe of something from her apron and injected it into the coral - and the next few enemies she took care of seemed to have a terrible case of chemical burns. The gloves are off, right now. --
[04:55] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus, [CNN,] who is sitting cross-legged on a bulging and folded-up piece of canvas with a bag of jerky, ends up getting a message that certainly leaves his expression far from content. His finears lower a bit, and his expression goes somewhat blank. Oh Gog no... Not again. --
[04:57] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] looks up, from her perch on the canvas fold, and frowns. That's... not good... --
[04:57] CER: MalhauT?
[04:59] CLA ceased responding to memo.
[04:59] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] doesn't answer yet. He's 100% focused on what's being sent to him, and his typing speed is quick and efficient. He brings up another conversation window and messages whoever they are at the same time. The look on his face is intense, and still remains mainly static. --
[05:00] CIM ceased responding to memo.
[05:01] -- CURRENT equineReaction's [CER'S] concern only grows, but she doesn't disturb him. She just watches. --
[05:04] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] will be absorbed by this for at least a few minutes before finishing, staring down at his screen. He's still got one message window open, but there's no exchange of messages going on. He stares...and stares...then slowly breathes out, bowing his head slightly to rub his temples. --
[05:12] CSN ceased responding to memo.
[05:12] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] reaches up, to gently pat Malhaut on the shoulder. Whatever it is... it must be bad. --
[05:14] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] stays like this for a little while... At least he's the maste of composure, although that doesn't defuse the slowly rising guilt inside him. --
[05:14] CNN: *master]
[05:15] CNN: ...I zink ve may oonly be 11 again, Gallia.
[05:16] -- CURRENT equineReaction's [CER'S] scarred face doesn't register the subtle changes in emotion; it's already showing as much of a twitched-down frown as it can, after all. She lays her hand on his shoulder, and breathes out. --
[05:16] CER: ... I undersTand. whou was iT?
[05:17] CNN: ...Jezroon... I am zankful it vas soomeoone vhoo has prooved zemself too be unstable, but still...
[05:18] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] keeps going over a question in his mind. Malhaut, why didn't you just take Aragua's suggestion? Sure, his reasoning may have been sound, but it doesn't stop him from thinking of all the "what ifs". --
[05:19] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] doesn't continue the though, and switches to part two of the topic. --
[05:19] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] grunts, a 'hn' of affirmation. She wisely chooses not to say anything. --
[05:20] CNN: ... Agatha and Megdul are oon zeir vay too pick Juniprei up.
[05:21] CER: ... gooud.
[05:23] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] gets bombarded by an ass-load of additional worries. FFFF --
[05:24] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] bites the inside of his cheek and stops massaging his temple, but leaves his hand and fingers in place to rest his forehead on. He appears to be frustrated, or at least mildly so. That's probably just his face making it less obvious though. --
[05:25] CNN: Gallia, ve are gooing too need anoozer replacement. I hoope Drix vill be able too doo soo again vizoout issue.
[05:26] CER: anouTher replacemenT... we have doune iT ounce befoure, iT is poussible.
[05:26] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] pats his shoulder, in silent worry. --
[05:30] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] continues to stew in what he believes is his epic failure, although he won't say anything of it. When he next speaks it's comes out as more muttery than before.\ --
[05:30] CNN: Damn...Vish Drix vas oon moore ooften... Must be quite busy...
[05:31] CER: we'll find him, MalhauT...
[05:34] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] feels a migrane-ish thang coming on. That on top of the fact he's a bit tired from fighting and shizz...FFF it shoots his mood in the gut. He thinks things through a bit more, and /does/ find a bit of a silver lining, which he expresses. --
[05:35] CNN: Jes, ve proobably vill... At least viz zis...
[05:35] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] sighs quietly. Although down and droopy, he appears a little better off than before. --
[05:36] CNN: ...zere shoould noot be any fear oof miner-related rampages again. Heh... Maybe zat vill help me sleep easier during ze day.
[05:37] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] says this "heh" without much meaning behind it. A little bitter. --
[05:37] CER: ... iT's beTTer he's goune, MalhauT. iT was ounly a maTTer ouf Time befoure he snapped again.
[05:44] CNN: True, true... Strangely enoough, zat seems too be ze zeme oof oour grooup's tvoo deazs soo far.
[05:46] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] bites his lip, now looking a bit thoughful on top of a bit troubled. It's better to be a little of both than a lot of one of the other in this situation, right? --
[05:47] CNN: Booz resulted in us loosing troolls zat vere harmful in soome vay... Hm.
[05:47] CER: The faulT doues nouT resT wiTh us... and even if we should be wary ouf anyThing which could Take Jezroun douwn... aT leasT iT Toouk him and nouT Juniprei.
[05:48] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] smiles slightly, although it's sad and not relieved. --
[05:49] CNN: Jes... Agreed. I just hoope zat Agatha and Megdul get zere befoore soomezing dooes harm her.
[05:49] CNN: Froom here too her voorld?... Zat is a very, very loong trip.
[05:50] CER: Megdul is fasT... and AgaTha is nouT slouw. if Juniprei Takes couver, she should be able Tou survive.
[05:52] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] nods slightly to himself. Yes, right, there shouldn't be anything to worry about... right?... --
[05:54] CNN: Mh... I doo still have her messaging vindoov up oon Troollian as vell soo zat ve doo noot loose toouch. She is still zere...
[05:55] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] looks down at his Trollian, just to make sure what he's said is still correct. He types...yep. A response comes in, no matter how flat and worrisome. --
[05:56] CNN: ...Poor zing zoough...
[05:56] CER: ... were They clouse?
[05:57] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] remains silent at first, his expression fairly melancholy. --
[06:00] CNN: ... Juniprei... She... called ze man by affectioonate terms. Quite avhile agoo, I alsoo picked up voord zat zey vere, vell...moost likely invoolved viz each oozer.
[06:01] CNN: ...After all... he has been ze oonly trooll viz her since zis game began, taking care oof her all ze time she vas ill...
[06:01] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] is truly troubled by this, and it shows. It hits him in one of his sensitive pity spots. --
[06:02] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] shakes her head, breathing out in a sigh. It's her turn to feel the tug of guilt, now, for not fulfilling her duty of being there. But it's more difficult to tell, aside from the downwards turn of her lips, on her scarred face - and she puts it aside for Malhaut's sake. She scooches closer to him, and puts an arm around his shoulders in something of a side-on hug. --
[06:13] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] doesn't resist the side-on hug. He doesn't have his cloak on right now. He'd stowed it away again after fighting for awhile, just because it was making him a little too hot. (As a side note, he was able to fight rather well with it on, probably because of his current fighting style. The one time it did get snagged, he was able to unclasp it easily. Yey for snaps!

) --
[06:19] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] rubs his shoulder, quietly. --
[07:21] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] breathes out silently. --
[07:22] CNN: ...Regardless oof vhat he himself had doone...I oonly feel soorroov foor her situatioon. Ze fact zat she spooke too me at oone pooint aboout having loost a mooirail back oon Alternia dooes noot make zings any better.

[07:49] CNN: I even coonsidered it... Ooi vay.
[07:50] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] shakes his head. He still can't help but blame himself for at least some of this. --
[07:51] CER: iT is nouT your faulT... if I had been douing my joub, she would have aT leasT had soumeoune else Tou rely oun.
[07:55] CNN: ...I am sure joou can still doo joour joob. At least vhen she is broought back.

[07:55] CER: mm... a pound ouf cure, yes.
[07:58] CNN: ...Maybe...zis is just oone oof zoose zings. Perhaps, foor fate's sake...she vill be better ooff in ze loong run.
[07:59] CNN: ...Eizer zat, oor ve vill have jet anoozer insanity case.
[07:59] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] is left with a bad taste in his mouth after thinking that. --
[08:01] CER: ... whaTever coumes, we will handle iT.
[08:09] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] nods slowly. Despite coping with this alright, he generally appears a little drained. A little droopy. He eats a piece of jerky. --
[08:10] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] is concerned with it; she stays where she is, next to him, providing wordless support. --
[12:21] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] gets a message on her shawl, after what is likely some sulky silent times. She keeps an arm around Malhaut, but gestures to reply with the other. --
[12:38] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] keeps his message window up during this span of time. But... even in mild misery, he does keep a careful watch out for enemies. Sitting still this long never makes him feel that safe...even if the enemies seem to be avoiding him, mostly. --
[01:32] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] types... but she rubs Malhaut's shoulder, too, makes sure she stays -there- for him. --
[01:49] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] sighs, waving away her interface. She, too, looks troubled. --
[01:49] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] looks up from his watching, and frowns. He asks, quietly: --
[01:49] CNN: ...Any moore bad nevs?...
[01:50] CER: ... Signa seems Troubled. The hourrourTerrours are speaking Tou her again... and I fear There is soumeThing else she is nouT Telling me.
[01:52] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] takes in a slow breath, his ears less droopy now, but slicked back. He's uneasy, but focused. Oh dear... What could this be? --
[01:54] CNN: ...I see... I had caught vind oof zat myself. Doo joou knoov anyzing specific zey are sajing? Additioonally...
[01:54] CNN: ...doo joou have any ideas oof vhat zat may be?
[01:54] CER: ... she says... They say ThaT Time is running ouT.
[01:55] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] breathes out in a long sigh. --
[01:55] CER: and asked wheTher The game had a Time limiT.
[02:06] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] feels his vasculature sink in his chest; These sort of subjects tend to do that to him. He wonders...and worries if this might be true. --
[02:07] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] would never /admit/ that she's worried... but her actions betray her. --
[02:07] CNN: ...It very vell may... I dearly hoope noot.
[02:08] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] slides the gloved fingers of his right hand through his hair. Oi vay... --
[02:08] CER: ... iT proubably doues. we should mouve. be The example They need.
[02:09] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] pauses...then nods, slowly. He doesn't quite sound discouraged. It's more or less serious and grim. --
[02:10] CNN: Agreed... zere is just ze matter oof zis hoole ve noov have too fill. First zing is first, ve need too bring anoozer trooll in.
[02:10] CNN: Perhaps zey can zen travel viz a grooup zat is high enoough leveled and skilled enoough too poover zroough viz zem tagging aloong. Zey shoould learn froom zeir example.
[02:11] CER: ... houpefully sou.
[02:11] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] starts falling into analytical, Malhaut-brand planning mode. His focus on thinking is obvious from his fixed and intense stare into nowhere, despite his head being bowed to some degree. --
[02:13] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] doesn't interrupt him, though... neither does she let her hand fall away from his shoulders. She won't interrupt him. --
[02:19] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] thinks...and ponders...and wonders...and speculates...Drix can almost certainly bring in a new player... They have to be from the same timeline, even if not on the same spot... They would be Gallia's server, and servered by Sototh... --
[02:22] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus's [CNN'S] mind slowly drifts in a somewhat unexpected direction. That troll's text color... Wait, what? Why did /that/ come to mind first instead of the fact that he spoke to a guy the other day that was trying to get in a session himself?! --
[02:24] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus's [CNN'S] expression becomes a mixture of troubled, concerned, and a bit perplexed. The look of concentration on his face softens. That guy... --
[02:29] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] rubs his shoulder, in silence. --
[02:31] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] mulls this idea over... Mh... He sounds like a wimp, but... mh... Just that feeling. It reminds him of something, almost, although he's not sure what it is. Maybe it's... --
[02:31] CNN: ...
[02:32] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] manages to finally speak up, but the question sounds unsure and timid, like it's something he's afaid might be shunned if he asks. --
[02:33] CNN: ...Gallia...did joou... speak viz any individuals recently oof a cooloor much like Agatha's?... A t trooll stuck in ze middle oof zat shoover oof meteoors?
[02:33] CNN: *A trooll]
[02:38] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] is surprised by his tone, if not his question. She snugs him towards her a little, patting at the side of his shoulder, in a silent show of reassurance as she answers, --
[02:38] CER: yes. he was weak ouf mind and would nouT sToup panicking.
[02:42] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus's [CNN'S] gaze is tilted downwards slightly. He rests his chin on a curled hand. --
[02:42] CNN: Mh...I voould agree...
[02:42] CNN: ...but zere is...soomezing familiar aboout him...
[02:43] CER: his coulour is very similar Tou AgaTha's.
[02:43] CER: iT is ounly naTural you would feel soume affiniTy Tou soumeoune sou similar Tou our medic.
[02:43] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] seems so sure of her answers. What's she denying this time? --
[02:46] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] bites the inside of his cheek again, gently. He's not sure if he should continue on saying this or not. He hasn't encountered such a strong feeling of conversational fear in awhile. The thought is stuck in his head, and the words are stuck in his throat. Due to how he is...this internal conflict might not even show. --
[02:49] CNN: ...Perhaps...
[02:50] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] doesn't speak for awhile. Geeze, what's gummed him up so bad? The master of tact getting stuck?... That's just sort of creepy. --
[02:51] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] just keeps petting his shoulder, leaning into him a little with her one-armed hug. --
[02:56] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] tries to relax...but it just doesn't work. The feeling nags at him. No, he can't deny it. This almost feels like his urge to keep Pallida in check, only...stronger? Also, where's the platonic hate? There's no /hate/ here, or /frustration/. Just...concern, and a protective urge. --
[03:02] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] shakes his head to himself. --
[03:04] CNN: ...I voonder zoough... If vhat Signa says is right, and ve are running oout oof time...searching foor anoozer, moore suitable plajer may noot be an ooptioon. Additioonally, in being soo timid in nature...maybe it vill be safer.
[03:04] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] tries to rationalize as much as he can. Yes, maybe this would be helpful to bring him in...right? --
[03:05] CNN: ...Better a pansy zat can be trained zan a psychoopaz...
[03:05] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] frowns. Don't underestimate her -- she's the Hero of Heart; she can tell when Malhaut is rationalising. --
[03:06] CER: The hourrourTerrours said ThaT. you may remember Them froum Their acTs ouf brazen malice Touwards us.
[03:06] -- CURRENT equineReaction's [CER'S] voice is dry, almost humored. --
[03:07] CER: ... buT They are suppoused Tou Tell The fuTure, like The clouds in ProuspiT.
[03:08] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] breathes out, in a long sigh. --
[03:08] CER: ... oukay. if you wanT Tou Take him in, I'll Take him oun. soumeoune sou weak will need Training.
[03:13] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] doesn't know what to think about the wave of sheer /relief/ that hits him when she responds that way. His body relaxes a little, but had he allowed it, it would have gladly melted. It's like the feeling he recalls getting when Gallia was given her glasses and she could see...only more...warm and fuzzy and prissy instead of loving, caring, and satisfying?... Aw, come ON Malhaut nodiamondwhoaringbeforeyouevenmeetsomeonetoowt --
[03:15] CNN: Zat voould be alright viz me... Zank joou.
[03:15] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] would have facepalmed, if it wouldn't have been blatantly inappropriate; she can already feel - not from her other senses, but -physically- through contact with this guy - how much this new troll is affecting him. Gallia DOES NOT APPROVE, and plans begin to hatch. --
[03:34] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] wants to mentally slap himself, but... Yeah. Atch, what the heck. He decides Gallia's his matesprit...and he kind of feels like shit for not saying anything. Maybe her ego-boosting him so much has worked some? Maybe he's not as stuck on keeping concerning crap to himself anymore? --
[03:37] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus's [CNN'S] face denotes he gives up too. Kind of that face that says "oh shit what the fuck am I thinking". Flat, and annoyed with themselves. --
[03:44] CNN: Hmph... Gallia... I vill be hoonest here. I stroongly suspect, judging by zis irritating and irratioonal prootective feeling zat he may be in soome relatioon too my ancestoor's mooirail. In oozer voords... Pallida's oovn relatioon.
[03:45] -- CURRENT equineReaction's [CER'S] response is to the point: --
[03:45] CER: yes, I can Tell. why dou you Think I am dealing wiTh him, and nouT you?
[03:48] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] appears to feel much better just getting that off of his chest. Yes. Ego boosts work. Even Gallia's response doesn't put him down...he thinks? --
[03:49] CER: Thouse irraTiounal feelings could be harmful... buT if you Think iT will be a proublem, I will Take care ouf him insTead.
[03:50] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] breathes out, in a quiet whuff. --
[03:50] CER: ... frankly, in any ouTher siTuaTioun I'd suggesT you find anouTher player. buT Time is shourT.
[03:51] CNN: Jes... Agreed.
[03:51] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] rubs his temples and chuckles half-heartedly. --
[03:54] CNN: Heheh...Damn... I zink I alsoo agree viz it poossibly being harmful. Zis feeling is like ze oone zat tagged aloong viz Pallida...oonly much stroonger. It is very frustrating.
[03:54] CNN: Zat must alsoo mean zat... vait...
[03:54] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] whuffs, again, and lifts a hand to flick one of Malhaut's ears. --
[03:54] CER: heh... if you geT ouT ouf line, I'll smack you.
[03:57] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] frowns, looking quite perplexed, but Gallia's little ear flick makes him flinch and close his eyes, but with a little smile. --
[03:58] CNN: Psh~... Soounds like fair terms.
[04:00] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus, [CNN,] as an additional note, is sitting on Gallia's left side, facing her with his right. As they converse, his left finear seems intent on flicking this way and that quite sporadically, turning towards her as she speaks, but turning away as soon as she finishes. He makes a habit of peeking around once in awhile too. --
[04:01] CNN: But...at least, froom vhat I can tell, he is lacking spine instead oof lacking manners.
[04:02] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] breathes out in a slightly overemphasized puff of air. --
[04:02] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] notices, but she doesn't say anything. It's normal, after all - they're outside, unprotected, and for some strange reason her matesprit seems to like getting the drop on enemies instead of wrecking them on whatever terms. --
[04:05] CER: ... buT whaT musT ThaT alsou mean, MalhauT? I inTerrupTed you.
[04:05] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus's [CNN'S] finears perk up a bit when he's spoken to about that. --
[04:06] CNN: Ah, jes. I vill coontinue.
[04:06] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] goes back to looking thoughful, and slowly to looking puzzled as well. --
[04:07] CNN: ..Zat zis may be ze /actual/ decendant oof...vhat vas his name... Loockejav I believe? Jes, I zink zat is it. If zat is soo zoough...vhat dooes zat make Pallida?
[04:07] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] looks upwards into the sky a bit as he thinks. --
[04:07] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] snorts. It's a surprisngly horsey sound. --
[04:07] CER: a freak.
[04:08] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus's [CNN'S] face goes flat for a second...but, his reaction is a simple shrug, and a crooked and non-serious frown. --
[04:09] CNN: Hm, maybe. Perhaps zey have soome...moore indirect relatioon?...
[04:11] CER: a... whaT?
[04:12] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] seems to be tussling with a little mental puzzle here, yet it seems to be interesting to him. It's like a cat playing with a crinkley foil ball, only that ball is an idea instead. --
[04:15] CNN: ...Maybe... /soome/ oof zeir genetics are similar? Like...Loockejav...coould have been soomezing like her...half...ancestoor?... Zey did have similarities, surely, Pallida and him.
[04:15] CNN: It just soounds soo...tvisted.
[04:16] CER: half-ancesTours?! buT ThaT's impoussible!
[04:17] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] frowns. Quiet, Gallia. Kitty's too busy playing with his sparkley pookie concept of delight. --
[04:18] CNN: ...Maybe noot...ancestoors exactly, in ze coonventioonal vay. Just...
[04:18] CNN: ...Vell...ve are all built oof ze same sample, all froom ze moozer grub, and ze moozer grub gets zat sample froom all ze oof ze mated trooll pairs. Let me try and explain zis.

[04:22] CNN: Anoozer might have been boorn zat vas /almoost/ ze same...but noot enoough too be a decendant.

[04:23] CER: buT ThaT's impoussible! geneTics doun'T wourk like ThaT, eiTher soumeThing -is- our iT -isn'T-...
[04:23] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] is trying. He really is. %D --
[04:23] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] has a silent hateboner for Pallida. Goddamn whore making everything complicated. --
[04:25] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] rubs his chin in contemplation. Gallia's denials don't seem to phase him at all. --
[04:26] CNN: Vell...I /did/ actually talk viz anoozer trooll oonce. It vas an...unnerving coonversatioon too say ze least.
[04:28] CNN: I spooke too him befoore leaving Alternia. His blood cooloor vas nearly my oovn... and amoong zat, and oozer zings...

[04:29] CNN: ...ve vere eerily similar. I coould noot deny zere must have been soomezing too it.
[04:29] CER: hmph... couincidences.
[04:31] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] breathes out in a small huff. All he says, flatly, is: --
[04:31] CNN: Gallia...
[04:31] CNN: ...lusus feelings.
[04:32] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] whuffles, in a very horsey sort of snort. --
[04:32] CER: ThaT was a coumpleTely differenT subjecT, and doun'T even Try Tou use oune win Tou make anouTher!
[04:33] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] puts on the innocent, yet not-so-innocent face and looks away somewhat as he watches for enemies. In a teeny tiny voice, he mumbles. --
[04:33] CNN: denilal
[04:33] CNN: *...Denial.
[04:33] CER: ouh, shuT up!
[04:34] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] seems huffy, more than legitimately angered. Protecting her dignity? --
[04:35] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] keeps his little pouty-frown on, but it disolves and gets replaced from a playful little smirk. Tee-hee~ >u> --
[04:35] CNN: *replaced with]
[04:36] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] snorts, and shakes her head. --
[04:36] CER: ouh, you're -charming- when you Think you're righT.
[04:37] CNN: Tch... Can joou proove me vroong?
[04:37] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] says it in the bitey sort of way which could be seen as sarcastic, but... he probably knows it's not~ --

[04:38] CER: if There were such a Thing as ancesTours oune sTep remouved, soumeoune would have nouTiced by nouw.

[04:43] CER: wh- have I read oune! ouf course I've - well nouT oun ThaT specifically, nouT in -depTh- -
[04:44] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus's [CNN'S] gaze shifts over to her and lock on. He looks smug as a bug in a rug. Gallia, he smells your weakness

--
[04:46] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] swats at Malhaut's shoulder, turning her face away in a bit of a huff. Hmph! --
[04:47] CER: ... anyway, soumeoune would have made a claim oun soume ancesTour's fourTune. soumeoune would have Tried Tou geT soumeThing They were ounly-half enTiTled Tou.

[04:51] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] really can't deny that Malhaut is hot when he does this. Frustratingly, brilliantly hot. --
[04:51] CER: hmph.
[04:52] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] chuckles deep in his chest. She's so cute when she can't make a valid argument...

--
[04:54] CER: if you had ThaT sourT ouf infourmaTioun, iT wouldn'T serve you Tou Tell!
[04:56] CNN: Ah, it certainly voould noot...but...
[04:57] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] scootches a little closer to Gallia and trails one of his pointer fingers over her leathery shoulder armor. --
[04:57] CNN: ...zere is noo coonsequence here, is zere?
[04:59] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] can't suppress a small shiver, looking over to him. Goddamn hot smug Malhaut stop proving her wrong in such an appealing manner. --
[05:05] CER: m-maybe nouT.
[05:06] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] chuckles deeply again, removing his finger to give her MERCY FFF --
[05:08] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] still tries to pay attention to what's around him, but devotes just enough focus into being a creep. He slinks even closer to her and nearly whispers in her ear when speaking. --
[05:10] CNN: Let me tell joou soomezing... Ve vere ze keepers oof secrets, oones zat vere noot too be toold, and zat ve vere trusted too prootect and keep in such an unknoovn state. Too tell... it voould have meant deaz foor me.
[05:11] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] grins slightly, but with a sort of evil quality to it. Eugh.. --
[05:12] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] shivers, again - is she -blushing-? Malhaut, your creepiness is not having the desired effect. Still, she tries to keep her composure, and huffs: --
[05:14] CER: you are being Toou frisky, misTer Oubliquus.
[05:15] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] can smell her hormones of yes; Much nicer than smelling oil paints~ >||D --
[05:20] CNN: Mh...~...Perhaps, perhaps... I am /sure/ zoough... zat joou voould razer me get too frisky zan never get frisky at all.
[05:20] CER: ouh, yes...
[05:20] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] snickers, nearly resting his chin on her shoulder. Man is he being a creep tonight. ,'8D --
[05:21] CER: ... buT we were in The middle ouf soumeThing, w-we can'T dou anyThing ouT here, soumeThing could sneak up oun us!
[05:23] CNN: .../Exactly/ vhy I have been listening zis vhoole time too prevent zat...~
[05:24] CNN: But...joou are right, regardless.
[05:24] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] sliiips back into his former position with the smooth grace a Malhaut should have on all nights. --
[05:28] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] is left flustered and... almost wishing they had more sense than they do. BUT THEY DO! ... and wasn't Gallia being conservative before Malhaut turned the charm on? She's still right. --
[05:29] CER: ((^less sense Than They do.))
[05:30] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] retains his elevated mood; Much better than worrying about Lockejaw decendants, right? Right. --
[05:32] CNN: Actually, coome too zink oof it... perhaps it is time ve get back too ze hive?
[05:33] CER: hmh... perhaps sou. I fear our game's goune Tou ground.
[05:34] CNN: Zat very vell may be soo, oor at least here. It is too bad zat zere vill be noo oone too share vatch duty viz us...but...at least ve vill be aloone...
[05:35] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] hasn't been able to wipe the smile from his face. Unph. --
[05:36] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] is glad that her scars hide most of her blush, even if her eartips betray her. Why yes, they CAN make everything about sloppy makeouts, they're teenagers, why do you ask. --
[05:42] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] looks down at his Trollian again...and that does manage to take away at least some of the smugness that's crept into his mind, then closes the device up but doesn't close the chat window itself. He turns the beep on. Malhaut doesn't like to do that normally so he doesn't get distracted, but...it's kind of important to do so tonight. --
[05:42] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] stands himself up and offers Gallia a hand. --
[05:43] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] takes the hand, and picks herself up, breathing out. --
[05:45] CER: leT's gou back, MalhauT.
[05:47] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] nods to her once she's up, taking the hand he'd offered her to now take ahold of his whip good and proper. He takes a brief moment to admire what he uses daily, yet probably takes for granted without realizing it. --
[05:48] CNN: Jes... Hoopefully ze enemies vill leave us in peace at ze hive as zey have here.
[05:48] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] smiles to him, looking sly - --
[05:49] CER: if They dou, we'll geT Tou crush Them.
[05:52] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] returns the smile, which starts out fairly regular...but, fairly quickly, gains the same trait as hers. --
[05:54] CNN: Ah, jes, certainly.
[05:58] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] briefly considers putting his cape back on, but he figures there's not much reason for him to when it's so pleasant out. He's already practiced fighting with it on anyhow. --
[06:02] -- CURRENT equineReaction's [CER'S] smile flutters into a smirk for a moment, before she turns and heads back to the hive. ... yeaaaah she's totally going to be hitting on him later. HE STARTED IT! --
[06:03] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] follows along. Really, his mind wasn't on macking upon getting back, but...it's likely Gallia might make a fairly convincing argument. Who knows. Maybe he'll let her win /this/ one. --

You want to see Gallia talking to Signa? You want to see Gallia talking to Signa?! ... okay!

Well that could have gone much better. You worry about your little redblooded friend. What could be concerning her?

**ChameleonSushi** · 07-30-2011, 04:16 AM

NN: Get contacted by someone before... who the flipping fuck is this white-texted douchebag?? (Offscreen snuggles and potential make-outs were prevented by this message; Mutual WTF and worry between Gallia and Malhaut ensued~)

God I seriously flipped my shit when this happened. I have no idea who did this. X'D

Alsoooo...he got this on the 20th of June. Just never posted it, so thought now might be a good time. %D

Our Dearly Departed (Deceased Characters)

Agatha Heiter (Played by Stinatron)

>Be the anatomy bookworm.

You are now AGATHA HEITER, and even though you don't care much at all for the hemospectrum, you expect people to treat you with somewhat respect due to your LAVENDER blood color. You are about 7 AND A HALF sweeps old, placing you at roughly 16 in Earth years.

Your personality is somewhat dry, but you like to call it REFINED and EDUCATED. This is most likely because in your spare time, you do nothing but READ DETAILED BOOKS ON ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY. Due to this, you have a profound interest in the study of MEDICINE. You simply can't get enough of the beautiful detailed illustrations of troll anatomy, it's so enthralling!

You don't care much at all for the hemospectrum, even though your blood color is that of SEA-DWELLERS. YOU PREFER TO STAY ON LAND regardless, however. Water seems to ruin your PRECIOUS BOOKS. You feel that, as a student of medicine, everyone has the same organs inside of them that makes them live. Why should blood color matter if the patient is ailing? You secretly have a SOFT SPOT for helping people, but you prefer not to advertise this as if you were some huge sappy billboard. You like to KEEP YOUR EMOTIONS TO YOURSELF.

Besides medicine, some of your other interests include READING CLASSIC LITERATURE, SOLVING PUZZLES, and even though it's on the creeperish side, you enjoy collecting DANGEROUS and PAINFUL-LOOKING MEDICAL EQUIPMENT.

Your LUSUS is a GIANT SERPENTBEAST that is very wise, but chooses not to tell you anything to make you find it out for yourself. You don't mind this, but you find it TROUBLESOME at times when you especially need guidance.

Your strife specibus is Syringekind, which allows you to throw needles and/or inject some sort of harmful substance into the enemy. Your fetch modus is DEUS EX MACHINA, only allowing you to take the item you need at the LAST POSSIBLE SECOND. Your trolltag is transcendentAsclepian and you tend to trail off in a thoughtful manner...

An alternate universe -- one where Agatha died, and everything was thrown into turmoil -- is at its end, and flings a light into the darkness to at least try to help those who'll persevere.

Gallia, stop spading yourself.

[09:14] CER RIGHT NOW opened memo on board CALL FOR RECOGNITION.
[09:16] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] leans against Malhaut, puzzled and worried. Stupid weird white text guys... she'd almost gotten Malhaut to stop -worrying- for a moment... --

[09:20] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] is getting that nasty pit in his stomach feeling again. All this... this night and day have just been much too unnerving and stressful so far. He appreciates Gallia's physical contact with him; At least he doesn't have to go things alone. --
[09:23] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] is disturbed by something popping up on her shawl, a message which makes her visibly agitated. She lifts a hand up to gesture out a curt reply. --
[09:25] CER: * ?ER ??:?? FROM ???? opened memo on board SGRUB INFOURMATIOUN.

[09:25] CER: * CER: speak.
[09:26] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] hears that Gallia's getting a message and...um...that's her text color, isn't it? He almost wishes he wasn't looking over her shoulder while this was happening, but... --

[05:33] CNN: * CNN: I doo noot plan oon letting zat happen...and I voould razer soolve ze prooblem zan take zat rooute.
[05:34] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] feels mildy ill at the idea of having to kill even Gallia's dreamself. He tries not to let this conversation get him feeling too negative...although that's quite hard to do. --
[05:34] -- CURRENT equineReaction, [CER,] herself, just sneers. --
[05:35] CER: * CER: loouks like you didn'T knouw everyThing abouT your pouwers, eiTher.
[05:35] CER: * CER: iT's counTained.
[05:49] CER: * ?ER: ... gooud four you.
[05:50] -- CURRENT equineReaction, [CER,] for some reason, doesn't seem disturbed by that message. --
[07:05] CNN: * CNN: Have joou ever had ancestoor coontact vizin joour sessioon? Vhat good did it doo joou if joou did?
[07:05] CER: * ?ER: ouh, sure, They counTacTed us. buT we had moure impourTanT Things Tou wourry abouT, mousT ouf The Time.

[07:14] CER: * ?ER: you pushed yourself Toou hard. iT needed Tou happen, ouf course, buT you pushed yourself Toou hard.
[07:18] -- CURRENT equineReaction's [CER'S] expression is severe, lips lifted up in a bit of a snarl. It might not be a directed sort of dislike, though; she might just dislike the idea of Malhaut working himself literally to death. --
[07:19] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] knows he would do this if he had to. This is something that bothers him. :\ --
[07:23] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] also figures, knowing himself, that such inspecific information about his condition besides being brought down by broken ribs probably mean he was hiding something else. Hey, it's not like he doesn't do that himself sometimes! Gallia would slap him upon reading this. %D --
[07:26] CNN: * CNN: I see... At least I can be be zankful zat he did noot die useless, hoovever zings vent, but...oon viz questioons, if I can zink oof any moore.
[07:26] CNN: *CNN: Ah, denizens. CNN: Please tell me aboout joour experiences viz zem.

[07:31] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] gets...ANOTHER MESSA-wait wtf oh damn it's that weird white text dude again. Malhaut's face automatically becomes a bit concerned as he types... --
[07:32] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] glances to Malhaut when she hears the new message bleep, frowning to see his concern. --
[07:32] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] breathes out, and gestures into her shawl: --
[07:32] CER: * CER: whaT sourT ouf chouice?
[07:34] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] has a mild look of "...what the shit..." on his face. Um... Eugh. --
[07:34] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] asks, quietly: --
[07:35] CER: is everyThing oukay?
[07:35] CNN: * CNN: Excuse me. Have joou ever heard oof a... d0cScratch?...
[07:35] CER: * ?ER: four me, iT was wheTher I'd be a midwife... whaTever ThaT is. I killed iT, oubviously.

[07:36] CNN: * CNN: ...Hoopefully it is a good zing zen.
[07:36] CNN: * CNN: As foor ze denizen infoormatioon, zat is very interesting.
[07:36] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus's [CNN'S] own response is steady and quiet, sounding unsure. --
[07:37] CNN: ...I am noot sure... I have just gootten anoozer message froom ze strange individual zat uses vhite text.
[07:37] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] offers his whip handle to her so she can look at it and highlight the text if she'd like. --
[07:39] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] frowns, and reaches up to lay a hand on Malhaut's arm, patting it gently in a silent show of support. --
[07:46] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] only messages this guy for a short while longer before getting back to the main memo. FFF... Gog...this is bothersome. His mind's had quite a bit of punishment lately. --
[07:50] CNN: * CNN: Alsoo, froom vhat has been said, joou knoov at least soome infoormatioon aboout abilities. Did joou ever see any oof joour felloov trooll's oovn poovers in actioon? Vhat vere zey?

[07:56] CER: * ?ER: ThaT's righT.
[07:56] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] rubs his chin. Yes, that /would/ explain a lot. Maybe that's...naahh...or...maybe it is?... Maybe that's why he felt terrible for her when she was upset, and angry at her when she was enraged, and friendly towards her when she was...friendly? --
[07:58] CER: * ?ER: buT iT's Time four me Tou gou, kids. The meTeours are falling, and I have a daTe wiTh The King.

[07:59] CER: * ?ER: you Tell me houw ThaT wourks ouT four you. our doun'T.
[08:00] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] looks over at Gallia and raises an eyebrow, slightly. He was hoping that she was just taking it as normal hate, but...just the fact that she mentioned it means she probably didn't. --
[08:00] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] snorts and gives him a -look-. It's the 'if you say anything your face is going to be slapped so far off your head you're going to see your ass' look. --
[08:01] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] still has the look, although he does keep his trap shut. The incredulous seatroll goes back to typing. --
[08:02] CNN: * CNN: If it is time foor joou too depart, Googspeed too joou zen. At least if joou die, make sure too die in gloory. If joou have made it zis far, I dooubt joou voould noot.

[08:04] CNN: * CNN: Noov, give ze king troouble he vill noot soon foorget. Heh, perhaps if joou are lucky ze scuffle vill be vritten aboout in Dersite textbooks.
[08:04] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] doesn't like this Gallia a lot, but she /is/ still a Gallia. Might as well send her off with something glorious to think about instead of SHIIIT --
[08:05] CER: * ?ER: you and I bouTh knouw iT's nouT gounna happen.

[08:08] CER: * ?ER: loouk afTer Them, Gallia.
[08:08] CER: * ?ER ceased responding To memo.
[08:08] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] breathes out in an irritated whuff, leaning back against Malhaut. --
[08:08] CER: I'm such an asshoule.
[08:09] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] closes his own Trollian up (except for Juniprei's window, of course) and places an arm over Gallia's shoulder to stroke her other shoulder. --
[08:10] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] breathes out. This has left him pretty worn-out. --
[08:11] CNN: Mh... "Asshoole" is subjective zoough, I suppoose... Seems ze Gallia ve just spooke too fits zat definitioon pretty vell zoough.
[08:11] CER: heh... nou, This wasn'T soume sourT ouf perverTed inverse self siTuaTioun.

[08:12] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus's [CNN'S] left finear twitches as he goes deep into thought. His expression is tired, but still indicates he's thinking pretty hard about things. --
[08:13] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] leans against Malhaut, bringing a hand up to wrap around his waist in a shameless hug. Stupid unsettling timeline shenanigans. --
[08:14] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] relaxes as bit as she does this, and he leans against her a bit heavily. At least this allows him a small smile. --
[08:15] CNN: ...She vas proobably ze same as joou zen...just in a coompletely bootched-up situatioon... A shame, really.
[08:15] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] mutters, under her breath: --
[08:15] CER: Thank The doucTour, Thank The fucking doucTour.
[08:16] CNN: Jes... Zank ze dooctoor. Zank Agatha...
[08:17] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] breathes out again, melting a bit more against Gallia. He stares off into space absentmindedly as he speaks again, only this time sounding a bit more spacey. --
[08:18] CNN: ...Heh...at least it soounded like my oozer self took quite a bit oof punishment befoore he vent... and joou lasted vell too... Zat is good, zat is good...
[08:18] CER: ... doun'T you gou douing ThaT, oukay? doun'T Think I woun'T have soumeThing Tou say if you dou.
[08:19] CER: I knouw we're Tough, nou need Tou hammer The pouinT houme by dying. hn.
[08:19] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] trails off some when talking. It sounds like tonight and today's been taxing on him. He chuckles in his chest weakly, and nods. --
[08:19] CNN: Oof coourse... I voould noot vant too goo djing oon joou anyvays...
[08:21] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] gives him a bit of a squeeze, though not -too- strong, and nods against his shoulder. --
[08:21] CER: oukay... gooud.
[08:22] CER: ... gooud day, MalhauT...
[08:24] -- CURRENT nefariousNautilus [CNN] notices he's starting to nod-off, so he pockets his whip, a little clumsy while doing so. His body slowly goes slack, his own head drifting towards hers until it leans against it. --
[08:25] CNN: Mh... Good day, loove...
[08:26] -- CURRENT equineReaction [CER] can't help but smile as she relaxes. That's something all those other timelines don't have... Malhaut. --
[08:27] CNN ceased responding to memo.

Hey, I was wondering. I know I left as a hacker, but do you think I could try again, as a meddler? I'll try and act less like a total idiot. I'll also do some reading up in preperation. So is that okay?

**Phi** · 08-01-2011, 02:03 PM

I don't think you should be allowed back in...but that's up to CS.
