-> is everyone alright? i can send some resources over if need be.

* { everyone here is fine, just. tired and sad and needing time to sort out our feelings. }

* { the offer’s appreciated though. }

Flaps, do you know about what Dia and Pathos did? Let’s just say Pathos won’t be allowed anywhere near your place for a good long while…Dia, on the other hand, is still being considered…

* [Your message has been intercepted.]

* { i’m holding off on letting him know. pathos is dead for the moment anyways. i don’t want to give him that kind of crisis right now. }

So, are you going to talk to Geist sometime later, Runiel? Maybe not right now, but it’d be nice for you two to talk things out eventually.

* { i do want to but i’m not sure if he’ll ever want to hear me out. i wouldn’t blame him for that. }

Will you just chill out? Dia’s sick of being demonized just like you are, and he’s been through untold amounts of stress ever since Pathos died…he almost completely snapped too…I get he killed your friend, but wouldn’t you want to kill the God of your world too? Don’t you hate them too? I’m sick of all the drama that’s happened lately, and so is everyone else, so can you two just settle your differences already and stop vagueing one another? And besides, I’m sure the rat will be okay soon…

* { we did stop. }

* { i understand where you’re coming from – and believe me, i’m damn tired of drama too. }

* { it’s just – scary. i want to trust him and i know flaps is going to want to try and get to know him, and i don’t want to stand in the way of that, but i just. }

* { we’ve been stabbed in the back by so many people nowadays???? it’s like, it just keeps happening. and i’m terrified that it’ll happen again, and maybe even worse, and i won’t be able to do jack shit about it because the asshole directing this all wants it to happen. }

* { like, i understand that he was under a lot of stress, i get it. but i’m fucking terrified of anything else happening and i took that out on him, and i guess it wasn’t right of me. i’ll. apologize later, i guess. i was tired and stressed and keyed up last night and i still am but it’s not much of an excuse. }

More good news! Prophet’s done with their research! But they’re kinda tired, so they should probably rest before they do anything else. In the meantime, maybe we can help get Flaps all set up, calm, and ready for his procedure?

* { little too late for that =P }

* { the research already happened! proph already finished doing their thing. flaps is just asleep right now, so we’ll have to wait to see if it worked… }

Great news, Prophet’s found a working ratio! He should be working on further tests as we speak! It’s 3 Determination, 4 Perseverance, 2 Justice, and 1 Kindness!

* { I’m aware, no worries. they cleared it with me before they started working on him. they’re still working on it right now. }

What is the solution for that magic? Did you find someone or something to get rid of it? Is the answer love?

* { proph and i were talking last night – they asked if they could have a copy of flaps’ code to fiddle with today. the help we were kinda counting on fell through, so…. they figured they could see if they could reverse it themselves. }

What’s your beef with Dia? Why do his actions bother you so much? Things will be fine, he’s already in a much better frame of mind thanks to Geist.

* { he killed my friend. }

Good news, Pathos is dead, you don’t have to worry about him ever again! He died out of spite because he refused a magic anon…you might want to take some notes! Bad news, Dia’s regretting it and is going nuts, and Geist has to deal with him and try not to die. I don’t think there’s anything you can do to help, just wanted to give you an update.

* { i didn’t really Want the update, thanks. }

But aren’t we obligated to bring harm to bad people, especially when no one else can or will? Bad people get off scot-free all the time and never change, and if we have the power to rectify that even in the slightest, don’t you think we ought to do so?

* { you aren’t obligated to do anything. }

* { yeah, it’s not right that people doing bad things get off scot-free, but you kinda have to look at the big picture a little more? }

* { most of what you guys do is just to pester and bother and piss them off. and where do you think that leaves the rest of us? >_> }

* { you can’t actually DO anything. not unless the higher-ups clear you for it. and usually everything that ends up falling into the clear category is just stuff that aggravates, and pesters, and all the other things. it makes a bigger mess out of something that could have been handled far better. }
