AA: Hell0?
PH: Yyyyyyesss?
AA: I just wanted t0, well
AA: Say hell0
AA: It's been a bit
AA: Was beginning t0 w0rry
PH: Hee! What? Why? About what?
AA: Erm
AA: Ab0ut y0u
AA: I guess
AA: Y0u weren't answering any 0f my messages
PH: I'm pretty sure that when that little lizard thing's extensive network of allies decides to rise up from the rot and dessication of your barren wasteland world you'll be able to handle them!
AA: -0-h I've already met them
AA: They're quite...
AA: Ah.
AA: What's the w0rd...
AA: Incredibly spiteful and ann0ying jackasses.
PH: They sound delightful!
AA: -0-h y0u sh0uld meet them
AA: They'd find s0mething ab0ut y0u t0 piss them 0ff and swear a grudge f0r a th0usand generati0ns
PH: How many swee?s does one of their generations last generally?
AA: A few.
PH: Have you ?issed them off? Have they sworn a grudge against you, Cymmy? Do tell! I'm com?letely and utterly riveted!
AA: -0-h n0
AA: They see me as a messenger 0f their g0ds and as thus have fitted me with ridicul0usly tacky cerem0nial arm0ur and have instructed me t0 carry 0ut and wreak revenge 0n everything they have a grudge 0n
AA: I'm n0t sure h0w I'm g0ing t0 "P0p 0ut gravities eyes and squish them under y0ur b00t f0r daring t0 trip the High King"
AA: They seem t0 bear hatred f0r abstract c0ncepts
PH: Is "Fun" one of them?
PH: Because it sounds like "Fun" would be one of the abstract conce?ts they bear hatred for.
AA: -0-h they had fun 0nce
AA: They t0ld me it was terrible
AA: They've never lived it d0wn
PH: Hee, hee! Fun was ?robably like, in its most aghast voice!, "Heavens, these dull little savages won't sto? mo?ing around and ?ro?hesying the end! Why, they're not even delighting in the u?coming destruction! I never! I thought this was a classy establishment!"
PH: And then Fun dramatically swished its ?urrbeast stole over its shoulders and flounced away, never to be heard of again.
AA: Exactly
AA: They're d0ur little chaps
AA: If they grimaced any harder their faces w0uld rip 0ff
PH: Too dour ...
PH: ...even...
PH: ...for YOU?
PH: I'm a little bit shocked. ?erha?s even bemused!
PH: >;)
AA: -0-h st0p it
AA: I'm trying t0 be m0re fun bef0re I die
AA: Again
PH: Realllllly? How are you trying to be more fun? Do you have a ?lan with which you will storm the Citadels of Actually Having A Good Time?
AA: -0-h I will burst d0wn the Gates 0f Enj0yment and rip the still-beating heart 0f this "Fun" and delight in the juices 0f G00d Time as I sav0r every ill-beg0tten bite 0f enj0yment
PH: But ...
PH: ... Cymoth.
PH: >:\
PH: There is a ?roblem with that ?lan.
PH: I'm sure you can see it.
AA: The fact that I w0uld surely be sh0wn the back d00r if I ever tried t0 crash Funs establishment?
PH: Hee, Hee! Of course not. If you're bursting through the gates, I'm ?retty sure you've already by?assed the 'Why, No Sir or Madame, You Are Not Welcome Here, To The Backdoor With The Boot For You' clause.
PH: Look more clooooosely.
AA: Y0u kn0w h0w dumb I am
AA: Be a dear and p0int it 0ut already
PH: Still don't see it?
AA: N0pe
AA: Is it the fact that I am n0t a fun pers0n by nature anym0re?
PH: Awww. I'd be a bad friend if I just gave you the answer. Let's just say the ?lan is unsatisfactory. After all, how exactly are you going to obliterate the gates of the Citadel without the slightest clue as to where the Citadel is????
AA: -0-f c0urse
PH: But I bet it could be as sweet as cotton candy, trying to carry out vengeance for a bunch of demanding little inferiors!
AA: -0-h I've washed my hands 0f the whining little m0nsters
AA: I've g0t a much better s0urce 0f inf0rmati0n n0w
PH: Oh really? Information on what?
PH: >:?
AA: The game
AA: What we're d00med t0 d0
AA: What's d00med t0 happen
PH: You have my full attention, Cymoth! I am ra?t. I an entranced. I am intrigued. My eyes are just a little bit wide.
AA: -0-h n0w why w0uld that be
AA: Y0u have n0 reas0n t0 believe me
AA: In fact I d0ubt y0u believe even the simple truth 0f my n0t-s0-recent death
PH: Doomed, you say, and doomed to do? Beyond, well, ?laying? Whatever could it be? What sources could you have?
PH: Because if it's your future self, I'm ?retty sure she's not going to ?lay it straight with you.
AA: -0-h it's n0thing s0 simple
PH: Do you actually care whether or not I believe you?
AA: Yes
AA: But we can't get everything we care ab0ut
PH: Not without a good deal of luck! All of it, one might even say. The bright and shining a??roval of Destiny, the raw ardor of Illumination, etcetera, etcetera.
AA: Luck d0esn't really matter in a game with timelines
PH: ?shhhhht. Luck is the only thing that matters, other than Skill and Ambition!
PH: So what are your sources? I'm actually curious now, instead of just ?assing the time until I finish climbing.
AA: They're um
AA: Quite...undefinable
AA: As in I can't even begin t0 pr0n0unce their names
AA: Seri0usly it hurts my m0uth t0 even try
PH: >:O Waaaaaaiiiiiit a second.
AA: Why?
AA: Has y0ur luck revealed s0mething t0 y0u?
PH: Are they sinister and broodfestering voices soaked in malice as a seas?onge is soaked in brine? Do they whis?er at your subconscious and slowly eat away at your mind until your memory's all holes and falls and random stretches of em?ty nothing???
AA: Uhm
AA: I guess?
AA: N0t really sure'
PH: Isn't that just a thing that ha??ens to mutants?
AA: -0-f what s0rt
AA: I am a mutant 0f a kind, remember?
PH: What, really? I had no idea -- when I ty?ed "Isn't that just a thing that ha??ens to mutants?" I was in no way trying to im?ly that ?erha?s the 'sources' aren't actual 'sources' at all and are in fact just hallucinations because that's what ha??ens to some trolls.
PH: >:P
AA: -0-h
AA: Alright then
PH: Not that they necessarily have to be hallucinations, but you shouldn't discount that idea just because magic a?ocaly?se game and all.
PH: Also, listening to anything that matches the descri?tion I just ty?ed sounds like a reci?e for doom.
PH: And reci?es must be followed!
PH: If the reci?e for doom is NOT followed, no doom.
AA: They've already t0ld me that I die
AA: S0 I guess I'm d00med already
PH: Ahahaha well didn't you die already? So what if you die again?
AA: They said that it w0uld be the end 0f this feeble b0dy. A permanent death f0r the Cym0th y0u kn0w.
AA: But I d0n't really care
AA: As l0ng as I make sure we win the game in the end I d0n't care much at all
AA: It s0unds rather relaxing, actually
PH: Lame.
PH: I don't intend to die.
AA: Well g00d 0n y0u
AA: I'd rather y0u all didn't g0 ab0ut and d0 that
AA: Dying, I mean
PH: Es?ecially not just because some s?ooky voices tell me it's inevitable.
AA: Hey, d0 I tell y0u h0w t0 be a...
AA: Man I d0n't even remember what y0ur title is
PH: You know what I say to those s?ooky voices of inevitability? I say, "Yeah? Watch and learn, wigglers. Dare or disa??ear." Followed by, ho?efully, a montage of not-immediate death >:D
AA: If 0nly I c0uld be s0 inspired
PH: Hey, you're ins?ired to crush on little Torent! How's that going? Have you managed to inject his black ?redilictions with a little ?ink yet????
AA: N0 such luck as 0f yet
AA: And t0 be h0nest I'm n0t sure whether it w0uld be w0rth it t0 c0ntinue t0 pursue him
AA: He's nice but...I have m0re imp0rtant things t0 f0cus 0n
AA: Like n0t dying until I'm g00d and ready f0r 0ne
PH: Gosh, Cym. There are so many things wrong with what you just said I don't even know where to begin.
AA: Why?
PH: When exactly do you think you're going to be "good and ready" to die?
AA: When I'm finally d0ne d0ing the things I'm meant t0 d0 in this festering shitpile 0f a game and I can finally just lie d0wn, sleep, and n0t wake back up
AA: I'm tired
AA: S0 very, very tired
PH: You're boring. You're very, very boring. Look, Cym, I'm not trying to offend you, but don't you think you're being more than a little defeatist? I don't care if you want to lie down and slee? forever, but while you're NOT in that blessed state of nothingness, you could try to savor some of it! The game sucks. I think we can all agree that it's like a nightmare. Not a cool one, wherein you get to slay a lot of screaming things, but it's also disturbing; a ?retty awful one, wherein your entire civilization is destroyed and you're like, Okay? What now?
PH: But there's a lot of cool stuff, too!
PH: It's an adventure!!!
AA: Fine! If y0u're g0ing t0 be that way, I'll just fucking stand up, st0p wasting my time, and sav0ur every stupid inane m0ment 0f this while I have time left. But it's just a little bit hard t0 be as bright and cheerful as y0u, 0k?
AA: I'm trying, f0r fucks sake
PH: Good! Maybe you should ditch your land. Try to go to someone else's for a while.
AA: That's what I was planning 0n d0ing
AA: I was waiting t0 meet up with Aascam bef0re heading 0ff
PH: Ooohhhhhhhh? Is Torent's the first on your list???????
AA: He's just my player is all
PH: Oh, Scamalicious? Huh. Okay, I'm sure his land will be cool, too.
AA: We've been w0rking t0gether already
AA: I was helping him s0lve the idi0tic riddles he needed t0 c0mplete t0 gain s0me s0rt 0f artifact
PH: S?eaking of riddles, about to be busy! Later, Cym!
AA: Alright
AA: Wait, bef0re y0u g0
PH: Once Lamia is in, I miiiiiiiight o?en a memo so we can discuss reaching Endgame.
AA: D0 y0u want t0 meet up at s0me time? Just hang 0ut 0r s0mething f0r a bit.
PH: La
