Hark! What's this? While the rust bloods bond over in the memo, THIS GUY sneakily messages you. Sneakily messaged messages during memos are practically the best kind of sneakily messaged messages.

[09:23] LA: And I wa$ hoping ¥ou ¢ou£d an$w€r $om€ qu€$tion$ ƒor m€, Mi$$ App€££öƒ.
[09:23] LA: Who i$ thi$ p€r$on, ƒor $tart€r$.
[09:27] PH: Ooo. Before I answer, how many questions were you ho?ing I could answer? >:)
[09:28] LA: I wa$ kind oƒ €xp€¢ting thi$ to b€ a kind oƒ ¢hain oƒ qu€$tion, €a¢h on€ £€ading into th€ n€xt organi¢a££¥.
[09:31] PH: All right. I'll ?lay that game!
[09:33] PH: "Who is celestialToxo?hilite?" A connoisseur of black romance! An incredibly irritating friend! A s?ooky girl full of s?ooky nonsense, which is, unfortunately, sounding like there's a lot of SGRUB related stuff s?rinkled throughout the mumbo jumbo.
[09:34] PH: >:| Ask her about stars. She's somewhat obsessed and says they whis?er things to her.
[09:34] PH: ...And her ?redictions are ?retty accurate. Sometimes.
[09:34] PH: Not always.
[09:34] PH: But sometimes.
[09:34] PH: Just ... every now and then.
[09:34] PH: Enough.
[09:35] LA: $o $h€'$ a p$¥¢hi¢?
[09:36] PH: She says she is!
[09:39] LA: Do ¥ou b€£i€v€ h€r?
[09:42] PH: Welllllllllllllllllll.
[09:42] PH: I believe that she's made a number of astonishing ?redictions!
[09:42] PH: Which ?sychic ?owers would ?robably ex?lain.
[09:43] PH: I don't know if they're the usual run of the mill weakblooded cull-me-don't-cull-me abilities, though.
[09:43] PH: And ...
[09:43] PH: ... ?ersonally ...
[09:43] PH: ... I think she may u??lay them sometimes ...
[09:44] PH: ... to make herself seem more ?owerful. Stronger! Less vulnerable!
[09:44] PH: >:) Can't blame her.
[09:44] LA: I $€€.
[09:44] PH: My turn! What do you think of her so far? Do you believe?
[09:44] LA: ¢an $h€ b€ tru$t€d?
[09:45] LA: W€££, V€r¥ w€££. But th€n ¥ou an$w€r to m€ again.
[09:45] PH: Have I ever failed to answer one of your questions, O delightfullest of Aascams??? >:)
[09:50] LA: $h€ ramb£€$ quit€ a bit. Not a$ bad a$ ¥ou, but $ti££. $h€'$ not unp£€a$ant to ta£k to $o ƒar. $€€m$ to b€ tr¥ing to hard to $ta¥ in ¢ontro£, an odd trait ¢on$id€ring h€r b£ood ¢o£our. Do I b€£i€v€ $h€'$ p$¥¢hi¢? Quit€ po$$ib£¥. But iƒ $h€ i$, $h€'$ mu¢h mor€ than th€ u$ua£ run-oƒ-th€-mi££ $€€r, a$ €vidan¢€d b¥ how $h€ $€€m$ to know quit€ a bit a
[09:50] LA: ¢om€$ ƒrom, $h€ know$ th€ ƒutur€ ¢an't b€ ¢hang€d, $o $h€'$ ƒr€€ to do what€v€r $h€ want$ without ¢on$€qu€n¢€.
[09:56] PH: Do you think that's how it would work if you knew the future?
[09:56] PH: That whatever you saw couldn't be changed, so you might as well just do whatever it is you want, because what's going to ha??en will ha??en anyway? >:\
[09:57] PH: I don't think I subscribe to that ?hiloso?hy!
[09:57] PH: And, hee. Most lowbloods like to be in control at least some of the time. They're just not used to trying for it if they've been beaten down by higher bloods too often. >:)
[09:57] PH: As for your question ...
[09:57] PH: ... Can she be trusted?
[09:58] PH: De?ends. Trusted, in what sense?
[10:01] LA: A$ in ¢an I b€ $ur€ $h€ won't ba¢k$tab iƒ $h€ manag€$ to £iv€ £ong €nough ƒor m€ to €ntru$t h€r with thing$.
[10:02] PH: Hmm. Is there anybody you're sure won't backstab if you entrust them with things?
[10:02] PH: I feel a desire for a frame of reference here.
[10:03] LA: I wou£d $a¥ I tru$t ¥ou, but on£¥ b€¢au$€ ¥ou $€€m ƒond oƒ m€.
[10:04] LA: $o £€t'$ $a¥ on a $¢a£€ oƒ 1 to 10, with 1 b€ing To£vaj and 10 b€ing ¥ou, how tru$tworth¥ i$ $h€?
[10:11] PH: ...Aww, but now I'm curious to know where the others fall on that scale. :)
[10:12] PH: Urgh, my horns! >:)
[10:12] PH: There. Hornlessness just looks so unnatural.
[10:12] LA: Wh€r€ th€ oth€r$ ƒa££ on that $¢a£€?
[10:13] PH: Yes. aE, AA, lA, c?, s?.
[10:13] LA: That wi££ tak€ a mom€nt to ƒigur€ out, a mom€nt ¥ou ¢an u$€ to an$w€r how tru$t worth¥ Mi$$ €$tr€a i$.
[10:16] PH: Tee Hee Hee!
[10:17] PH: It's still a difficult question to ask ... because a blanket "trust" avowal? That's tricky!
[10:17] PH: However!!!
[10:17] PH: In my o?inion ...
[10:18] PH: ... given the locations of my name and Sky's on the Scale of Distrust ...
[10:18] PH: ... ?robably a seven.
[10:19] PH: I don't think she actually lies to often, so if you extract a concession from her, it will stick.
[10:19] LA: I $€€.
[10:22] LA: W€££ iƒ I w€r€ to grad€ th€ r€$t oƒ our ¢ohort$ on that $¢a£€, it wou£d b€ £ook $om€thing $imilar to: A€ 3, AA 8, ¢P 7, $P 5, ƒA 5.
[10:33] PH: You forgot someone.
[10:34] LA: Who?
[10:34] PH: Yourself! How much do you trust yourself???
[10:35] LA: That'$ an odd qu€$tion. I tru$t m¥$€£ƒ €ntir€£¥, oƒ ¢our$€. Wh¥ wou£dn't I?
[10:41] PH: A) If there are going to be cloned Aascams running around eventually to hel? re?lenish the Shi??ing ?ool, it's a ?erfectly valid question.
[10:42] PH: B) It's not really that odd a question, but I don't actually know how to ex?lain. >:O It's like, I guess, having a goal, and trusting yourself to always do right by that goal, and to choose a goal that will make you ha??iest. Or something!
[10:46] LA: W€££ I gu€$$ I'm ju$t mor€ $€£ƒ-¢onƒid€nt than mo$t.
[10:57] PH: >:) Or more silly.
[11:11] LA: What'$ ¥ou point?
[11:11] LA: *¥our. M¥ apo£ogi€$.
[11:22] PH: I'll forgive you the ty?o just this once. Next time, there will be severe re?rimands. The severest re?rimands.
[11:22] PH: The re?rimands I hand out: they are truly severe. Just so we're ?erfectly clear as light through glass.
[11:22] PH: >:)
[11:23] PH: My ?oint is that very silly trolls blindly trust themselves to always be right and always do what's in their own ultimate self interest.
[11:23] PH: Duh.
[11:23] LA: I $€€.
[11:24] LA: Ar€ ¥ou tr¥ing to t€a¢h m€ a va£uab£€ £€$$on, Mi$$ App€££öƒ?
[11:25] PH: Uh, Aascam?
[11:25] LA: ¥€$, Mi$$ App€££öƒ?
[11:26] PH: >:\
[11:28] LA: ¥€$?
[11:32] PH: Are you im?lying that any lessons I may or may not try to teach anyone would not be valuable?
[11:37] LA: No, I wa$ in ƒa¢t r€ƒ€r€n¢ing tho$€ book$ ƒor wigg£€r$ that hav€ an "important £€$$on" at th€ €nd £ik€: B€hav€ around Highb£ood, and, B€£i€v€ in ¥our$€£ƒ!
[11:39] PH: Hee, Hee, Hee! The ?lots weren't always the most exciting, but they were ?retty good!
[11:40] PH: My favourite was the one with the winged hoofbeast and the tealblood wiggler who couldn't shut his mouth! >:)
[11:40] LA: I don't think I'v€ r€ad that on€.
[11:42] PH: It was great! >:D It was about romance, ins?iration and destiny! The motto at the end was 'Take what is yours.' I'll alchemize it and send you the code if you'd like.
[11:42] LA: Iƒ ¥ou in$i$t, I $uppo$€.
[11:55] LA: Ba¢k m€ up h€r€, Mi$$ App€££öƒ.
[11:55] PH: Why, whatever do you mean?
[11:56] LA: I thought ¥ou wou£d jump at th€ ¢han¢€ to t€a$€ Mi$$ €$tr€a.
[11:57] PH: Me? Oh, Scamalicious. You're doing so well yourself! I'm actually quite shocked at your ?rowess. >;) Although, of course, all atwitter at being asked to tandem tease.
[12:01] LA: What ¢an I $a¥? ¥ou d€£iv€r $om€ oƒ th€ ƒin€$t produ¢t that I'v€ $€€n ƒor $w€€p$.
[12:31] PH: Swoon. Careful, Scam. >;) I may develo? a crush.
