[recollecters]

So here's the thing… We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too. How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here. So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready. Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

You hit the nail on the head

Doubt they'll compensate us either--not like we can put down 'Retrospec' as our employer on our taxes

So yeah, pretty damn rich of them to offer it now

[jurai]

Yeah I was waiting for the right time to tell you guys but

You know how things escalate

It was this really blue colour and it talked


Heh don't be jealous, though. YOU were the true MVP a week ago

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, they sure do. We've been really busy the past few months.

But that's so cool! Blue's a great color- does it have a name?

Haha, thanks. But I wouldn't go that far to say that.

[jurai]

Yep. I called it 'Ordine' or something. Pretty fancy, don'tcha think?

[But there's a lighthearted sigh behind the feed. Between you and Rean, I swear.]

I mean it

You really pulled through for us

[jurai]

NOT IN THIS OR ANY LIFETIME I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW

[WOW Don't pick on him James!!]

But I guess dual guns just wasn't enough

un: BIG DECK ENERGY

[jurai]

Good for you getting out and getting some fresh air

Too much work makes for a dull, unfulfilled life!



And I'm not gonna complain about the free of charge thing but...well, money matters to things like bill collectors. So you sure about that?

[flametheif40]

The second I went to his house that cat wanted to kill me, and as far as I know, he only likes 5 people at most.

What happened to the gray one?

Looks like it had a rough life the poor guy. :(

[fiddlestick]

Ordine...yeah, that's a very fancy name. Like something you hear in legends.

[.....

Ugh. Crow's being sincere. Way to make him feel guilt.]

No, it was my fault to begin with. I'd knew about that power of his for awhile, I just I didn't know how to tell you guys. And so you were caught off guard and...

No excuses. I'm sorry. It was luck my spell even worked, I didn't know it would. And if it hadn't, it could've gotten much worse.

[jurai]

You know what they say

When in Rome





Slowly take over Greece

[That's not the phrase.]

I'm pretty used to the cold being from up North but I'll have to look into some heavy duty winter gear

[jurai]

[Oh my god Elliot not you too.]

Even if you told us...None of us knew Rean would get it here

Or when it would trigger. We'd be caught off guard no matter what


Sure, you could've told us, and it might've helped. But I don't think that would've stopped whatever got ahold of Raina from going after me

Point is, you're forgiven

[fiddlestick]

[Crow just because you'd let him get away with actual murder doesn't meant he can't feel guilt!!]

I...guess so. I wasn't expecting it to come to light in that way.

[Schwarzers sure are something]

Thanks Crow. I'm still going to feel bad about it for awhile. Especially when I still haven't found Rean.

[fiddlestick]

Hey, I have faith in you!

Still can't help be a little worried about it.

[jurai]

Take all the time you need. We're our worst critics and sorting through that bullshit's just gotta take its course

[But his tone even in text form changes when Rean's brought up.]

He's been leaving me on read ever since it happened

[fiddlestick]

Haha, you don't have to apologize. I think it's really sweet. You two love each other a lot.

Yeah, that would complicate things. But the fact you're still holding onto feelings for them must mean they're really special. What are they like?

[belligerentwarrior]

yeah. back when magatus was having all these ghost problems we had to go fix, this big buy was lurking around. got the feeling he was trying to protect people. sometimes he'd nudge us in the right direction or show us somewhere safe to stay. guide people from a distance if they got lost in the woods, that sorta stuff, right out of some folk tale

nice guy

[belligerentwarrior]

right. the conditional kind of friendly.

that wolf's probably looking after the townsfolk if things are getting bad out there. with the way everything's shaping up, i hope those dragons of yours have the mind to do the same when the shitstorm heads their way

[brushy]

It’s wonderful, Crow! Have you ever rolled around in the grass? I don’t think I can sleep tonight with so much to do.

I am still making the correct preparations, but not to worry! Everything is under control and being done correctly.

[fiddlestick]

He has?

But you didn't do anything wrong. You just defended yourself.

[brushy]

How lovely! What is his name?

[usurpers]

A Giant Robot
You can get a Giant Robot and you didn’t tell me

[ FRIENDSHIP ENDED WITH CROW ]

[usurpers]

Explore the sixth layer, but I’m pretty sure just a different part of it now.

It depends on what it’s for. I’m almost worried there wasn’t enough time, though.

[jurai]

[BABY COME BACK!!! NOT WITH OUR SOON TO BE ASSIGNED CHILD ON THE WAY!]

I was a little busy, yannow

[You know, not getting the shit stabbed out of him.]

I can give you deets now, though

[morgrim]

i'm not surprised that sorta thing happens a lot!
hopefully he's taking good care of the cat!

the gray one's phoenix
she was in pretty bad shape when she was brought in
needed extra care so i fostered her for awhile
problem was that she was older and kind of fussy
so we didn't think she'd get adopted
i loved having her around so i took her in myself!
i don't really know what happened to her though

[fiddlestick]

Hm. Well if we're checking out Magatus this month, Zee might be planning to check the layers in all the regions.

Wasn't enough time for what?

just for u

[ he knows why malik can't but look. if malik's gonna go there. ]
