... did that Traveler just trap you and Ace in a ball?

[whatspringislike]

I think the Traveler's the one on the inside of the ball.

Ace, we're swapping now, okay?

[thornsofmalkav]

Right, sorry, I was a little distracted with being accused of being part of a secret army.




We're going to have to investigate whether or not we are a secret army, aren't we. Between that and bident mechanics... [Have a mental sigh.]

[whatspringislike]

I mean, it's not like we aren't an army. We're just an Anti-Nightmare Army. A big enough army to hold that one guy back.

[thornsofmalkav]

What is it that humans say again? Be all that you might be?

But I meant someone else's secret army.

[whatspringislike]

Yeah, but who? Nobody in the Known Worlds has any use for a secret army, do they?

[thornsofmalkav]

If we knew they did, it wouldn't have to be a secret.

[lightnovelexperiences]

Ding ding ding.

If someone's been manipulating me, us, I want to know.

[thornsofmalkav]

Believe me, I do too.

[lightnovelexperiences]

Aid is forthcoming, hang on.

But, Thorn.



Think about how easy we found out it is to make more of us by accident.

I think Pepe Silva stumbled onto something plausible...

...But I'll be damned if whatever force he describes will use my Role to do it.

[thornsofmalkav]

No, no, you're right. It's something we need to investigate.



But if Pepe's right he's going to be unbearably smug and I just might dunk him head first into a spirit pool.

[stupidhelmet]

If the Illuminati are, in fact, confirmed...

[one full minute of Diabolin swearing, unskippable]

Let him be smug. He may have just saved Questing Country from us, if only by letting us know much much we need to check ourselves before we turn into the Second Fucking Diabolin Shattered Empire.

And Leah, you know why I think he's onto something.

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh diabolin hells--I'm going to have to tell Titan.

[lightnovelexperiences]

We are going to. I'm your second on this.

I... impressed him to the point that he said we share a Matrix.


I think you understand how much that means to him. God knows Pez does.

[thornsofmalkav]

... I. Yes. I do.

Dear gods.

[lightnovelexperiences]

Also, you've still got dibs.

[thornsofmalkav]

I never stopped having dibs.

[lightnovelexperiences]

Exactly! Knock him dead, and be grateful Conducting didn't remove the three -

Oooookay, who put "The Three L's" in this network and can we AVOID using that one on outsiders? I'm not angry, more 'amused and boy HOWDY do we not want to explain that one.'

[Thorn innately understands "the three L's" to be "Love, Lust, and Longing," apparently. And no one's likely to fess up on that meme getting added to the net.]

[thornsofmalkav]

I'm not gonna give you guys a play by play, you know.

[lightnovelexperiences]

Oh, I trust YOU with that, but just to make it clear:

I declare this imageboard a Lewd Free Zone. There is to be no lewding in the Imageboard. We have minors here.

Thank you.

[thornsofmalkav]

Does this mean I can't tell people about holding Titan's hand? Because that's very publicly affectionate for Hecatites.

[She might be teasing Leah a bit.]

[lightnovelexperiences]

Would that be like making out in a human movie or would shoot straight the the Rated R zone?

[whatspringislike]

Pez's fault.

[extrasaltypotato]

I categorically deny direct responsibility and question your motives in assigning me indirect culpability.

If I wished to be subtly... what is the human word? Ah, yes: bawdy... I would have deployed linguistic skill more elaborate, more subtle, and far more cunning.

[whatspringislike]

I didn't say you did it; I said it was your fault.
