8:52 angry Reynie. He is in rare form
8:54 "and you helped put her there!" OOOOOOOH I SCREAMED
9:03 "I shouldn't have yelled" okay but you kinda should have Sticky needs a wake up call
9:06 "dont apologize. I like this side of you." IS THIS THE START OF REYNIE AND CONSTANCE HAVING THE BEST SIBLING RELATIONSHIP
9:22 "if you really cared about me, you'd want me to be happy instead of standing there telling me who I am" oh Sticky my dude I am NOT digging the manipulation
9:36 Reynie pulling out the BFF card!!! Also Reynie digging in his feet because he knows he's right!!!! That's great setup for his arc as a strategist later
9:48 "I'm telling you, Kate's fine." Narrator: Kate was not, in fact, fine.
10:03 "they'll notice." Sticky has made one (1) good point.
10:11 oh dear god are they fingerprinting this bitch
10:19 all this equipment, has no one walked up to the cliff and looked down???
10:23 HAHAHAHA WAIT THEY ACTUALLY HAVEN'T
10:27 "we've been out here all night" that means Kate has been clinging to a cliff by her fingers and toes ALL NIGHT????
11:04 babe I know it's been a long night but maybe wait a second for them to actually leave before you climb back up
11:15 BUCKET NO
11:22 she has to go get it. There's no way someone wouldn't find that shit, it's in plain view
11:37 "WAS"???? WHY ARE WE SAYING WAS????? NO PAST TENSE HERE MILLIGAN'S FINE
11:43 "I only wish we could've known him better" NOOOPE NONONO WE'RE NOT DOING THIS
11:47 Rhonda back at it as the voice of reason!!!!!
11:59 "I have never met a more competent swimmer" throwback to "the baaAAAYYYY"

12:11 NUMBER TWO, NOT HELPING
12:14 RHONDA'S FACE HAHENDJDKDN

12:54 MISS PERUMAL??????
12:56 MISS PERUMAL!!!!!!
13:00 SHE KNOWS HE'S RIGHT GAKSHDBDHEKSNND
13:09 "how hard can it be? It's an island!" PFFFFT
13:16 oh SQ baby boy please get out of there
13:25 "I certainly have my own suspicions" he said, looking at SQ why are you looking at SQ like that
13:31 SQ GET OUT OF THERE PLEASE IS2G
13:36 here we fuckin go
13:43 the captions have the f in forest capitalized like it's this special place
13:43 new hc that the Forest is a magical place like pixie hollow
13:57 TWO THINGS: 1. YES stand up for yourself baby!!!! 2. Shepard Quaid? Interesting! I don't think we ever got SQ's full name in the books, I hope TLS made that decision!
14:08 your "father hat"??? Oh my gosh shut the fuck up right there don't even continue
14:16 oh yeah real fuckin cute put on your "steward of this institution hat" and call that a good reason to be a shit person
14:43 "No." GOOD FOR HIMMMM GOOD JOB SQ
15:03 Kate's struggling right by the shore where a certain someone would be returning after a very hard swim, it would be a great time for a meeting wouldn't you think
15:09 KATE THE GREAT
15:11 "THE TRAPESE GODDESS" I WILL REFER TO HER AS NOTHING ELSE
15:26 sorry but that green screen of her falling was kinda funny
15:28 soooooo is someone, a very certain someone, gonna catch her...??????
15:36 YEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
15:43 IS THIS IT????@?@?!?
15:46 awww poor baby girl you can tell how tired she is
15:46 just putting this out there- they look so good in frame together
15:46 the actor who plays Milligan is fucking huge in stature so I wasn't sure how that would go but it looks so good
16:00 THE WAY HE'S LOOKING AT HER WITH HIS HAND ON HER SHOULDER I CANT DO THISSSSS
16:20 "keep going." 😭😭😭😭😭
16:23 "you dont understand." Ohhhh I think he does
16:25 "I think I do." What did I tell you, he's got your back babygirl
16:45 I'm so glad she's talking this out, and with Milligan of all people
17:01 it makes so much sense for Kate to feel alone in that situation, and when Kate feels anything less than positive she goes and does something, whatever that something is.
17:05 "So.. I...." "fell off a cliff and nearly died." Thanks for putting things into perspective Milligan
17:05 Milligan is such a good dad stop
17:19 "most of the way" is an understatement LMFAO
17:29 I'm so glad we know the intimate details of Milligan's illustrious swimming abilities 😂 out of all the new things wfrom the show that one wasnt on my radar
17:52 leave it to Milligan to come up with an escape plan off of an island with no water vessel with four kids in tow
18:08 THEYRE SO CUTE 😭😭😭😭
18:08 lowkey I'm super surprised they didnt take this opportunity to have Milligan's arduous swim force his memories out and have the father daughter bonding time they deserve. I hope they give that moment ample time to flesh out.
18:13 BUCKET!!!
18:13 wait that shot is so artsy hold up lmfao
18:13 this looks like someone's photography final hahahaha
18:26 THE TENDER MUSIC STOPPPP 😭😭😭
18:41 Sticky is still on that jumping to conclusions bs he got from Curtain
18:44 WETHERALL'S WIDGET 😭
19:31 "Kate... she's in danger..." NO SHIT SHERLOCK
19:36 "and it's all because of me." Not just because of you but love to see you taking responsibility
19:52 once again I am asking WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS IN THE OPEN
20:26 "Kate. She has changed." "Not really. She's always been who she is." "Her clothes. She changed clothes." PFFFT HAHHAHA they really took a moment of self-reflection and made it so much better
20:55 AYYYYY KATE'S DEPENDENCY ARC CONTINUESSSSS
21:35 yikes yikes yikes
22:16 I love that Mr. Benedict got closure in telling Miss Perumal that her words stuck with him
22:40 the way she just knows Reynie took the position of leader 😭😭
22:54 SHE WROTE HIM A LETTERRR
23:02 "Would it be possible to get this to him?" Ma'am what part of undercover spy don't you get
23:54 it's still really weird that we are now in a position where Reynie is the one who is not trusted and Sticky is the one in Curtain's favor
24:13 and here we see Curtain's thinly veiled anger issues shining through
24:21 "the little things matter. Every minor detail, it all matters!" CALLBACK TO MR. BENEDICT TELLING THE CHILDREN THAT THEY ALL MATTER
24:55 "I can tell with complete accuracy when a person is lying." first of all, no. second of all, I cannot wait for him to talk to Constance.
26:33 why is Mr. Benedict graphically explaining the children's potential trauma so funny to me
26:40 "you're catastrophizing." "Yes. I am. Quite severely. Thank you." WHY IS THIS FUNNY
26:58 MADGE!!!!
27:16 she's so prettyyyyy
27:33 GOOD JOB MADGE!!!!!
27:36 wait did she just take the LETTER??? she's delivering the LETTER?????
28:05 WHAT DOES "OKAY FINE" MEAN??? REYNIE??????
28:22 it's sad because it's true 🥺
28:24 "I miss my teacher from the orphanage" the best lies are the ones rooted in truth 🥺🥺🥺
28:48 roll credits
29:16 Reynie honey Orion's Belt isn't on the ceiling
29:29 the way he was so confident that he had it right 😑 Curtain Stop Being a Pretentious Fuck challenge
29:52 our babygirl is so smartttt
29:55 did Milligan plant his prints 😳 oh no OH NO
29:57 MARTINA???? WHATSUEJHDKD
29:57 is this the replacement for when they pin cheating on her????
30:03 THE KEY CARD!!!!
30:11 MADGEEEE
30:21 "one attacked me as a small child" honey you are a small child
30:24 "it did not win," she said, smiling menacingly
30:40 "so we dance again" WHY DID THE MUSIC REV UP WHEN SHE SAID THAT HAHAHAHA
31:01 ✨woodworking is a passion✨
31:58 "was it functional?" "Well I guess that depends on how you define functionality" RHONDA'S FACE IN THE BACKGROUND HAHAHAHA
32:10 OH HEY MARTINA
32:17 wait 🥺
32:22 that has to be SQ :)
32:28 hi sweet boy
32:34 please tell me they did that shot of the sandwich because Madge is about to take it
32:39 LMFAOOOOO
32:44 hi good girl!!! Enjoy your snackies
32:50 oh god oh no the LETTER
33:25 oh wow we're doing this NOW??
33:52 and here we see another example of Curtain's thinly veiled anger issues bubbling to the surface
34:10 hey what if you uhhh weren't such an asshole
34:33 that man's voice is buttery
34:52 REYNIE'S TRYING TO TELL SQ????
35:02 and they're talking about this right in front of the office door, WHY??
35:24 AND THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OFFICE DOOR, WHY????
35:55 he's letting him go 🥺🥺🥺🥺
36:14 why does that look like a body bag
36:17 oh my gosh it definitely is a body bag, hey Martina
36:25 yep, that's about what I expected
36:36 "whoever did this to me, they're gonna pay" oh girl do I have some bad news for you
37:12 ahhhh, so Martina is the burnt out gifted kid who keeps going out of spite and sheer force of will
37:12 everything makes much more sense now
37:30 ohhhhh my gosh feelings time
37:44 "I think it's awesome." "Yeah. I know you do." THE SHIPPERS ARE THRIVING
37:54 THEY REALLY WANT TO MAKE THIS AS PAINFUL AS POSSIBLE HUH
38:10 "it's the least I can do" that's an understatement 😬
38:14 AAWWWWW SHKSHSLSBDK
38:20 "I don't know what I'd do without you, Wetherall" STOPPPPP
38:30 HEY BUD UH MAYBE CLOSE YOUR DOOR???
38:38 he's been writing letters to her every night and now he finally gets one back 😭😭
39:34 so Miss Perumal wrote this letter with the intention of it being sent to him, right- why did she write it like that?? 😂
39:34 they've gone to such lengths to communicate in code but the letter kind of undermines that- it was written in such a way that an onlooker would know Reynie was a spy but wouldn't know what he was doing or why. No wonder SQ was pissed
39:41 KATE!!
40:10 BREAKING NEWS: local bastard man treats everyone like shit
40:15 ohhhhh SQ bud please be careful
40:30 "always have time for my son," he said in a clipped voice that implied that he does not have time for his son
40:35 ohhh he's getting RIGHT INTO IT HUH
40:41 you mean to tell me he's never asked about Mr. Curtain's work?? Ever???? Somehow that doesn't seem right to me
40:57 hey uh what if you didn't talk down to SQ at every opportunity
41:02 "would you care to reconsider that answer, son?" "No." DIG THOSE HEELS IN SQ!!!!
41:22 I'm really not digging that Curtain is using the guise of openly expressing his feelings to communicate his anger and his unasked question. Not cool bitch head
41:33 the fact that he didn't answer SQ's spoken question kind of also answers his unspoken question
41:45 "I knew there was something off about that girl. But espionage?" "How do you so convincingly fake a tetherball obsession?" I love that this entire conversation could be about Martina or Kate interchangeably
42:34 WELL THAT'S NOT GOOD
42:36 IF IT WAS THAT EASY TO FIND WITH BINOCULARS HOW HAD THEY NOT BEEN SPOTTED UP UNTIL THIS POINT?!!?#? HOW????
43:05 Kate advocating for Martina with the Society 🥺🥺 the interaction I didn't know I needed
43:58 "I definitely don't like to leave anything unfinished." "That's true, I've seen you eat." PFFFFT
44:05 YESS YOU GO STICKY USE YOUR ACCESS FOR PRIME INTEL
44:19 "well, you can't succeed without me, so..." baby girl you have no idea how right you are
44:28 please let that be Milligan PLEASE LET THAT BE MILLIGAN
44:32 YEAAAAAHHHHH
44:35 I simply adore him
44:45 "would you mind helping me down, please? I'm stuck." Your honor I would die for this man
44:54 oh shit, Martina's tryna sleuth it out herself.. this can't end well
45:04 is she about to find Kate's marbles or something?? Callback to the book?
45:26 the absolute MURDER in her eyes
45:31 FUCKIN YIKES
45:41 "the clothes of someone who had given up" ASEJDGEIDNDLFK
45:47 well that's not good
46:00 WELL THAT'S NOT GOOD
46:04 PLEASE let them be on their way already, please
46:14 THEY MADE A BLIMP????
46:17 Goodyear is QUAKING
46:35 why the fuck is Number Two in red, that's upsetting on principle
THEYRE JUST ENDING IT THERE???? goddamnit!!!!
How surreal is it that next week is the finale?? Idk if I'm ready for that????

Lacie Skit
Night after Campaign 36
London-Yesterday at 7:52 PM
After escaping Faelian, London realized Aneris didn't take his hint to head to the bar, so he made a move to travel back to where the group arrived at Lacietown.
Aneris-Yesterday at 7:53 PM
"Oh, it's you"
Zarek-Yesterday at 7:57 PM
Zarek had been following London from a distance, going to a bar had sounded like a good idea after thinking about it, so he was waiting for him to find a bar and catch up with him inside. But stopped to spy on him when he noticed he had ended back where Aneris was, this was weird.
London-Yesterday at 8:01 PM
London glanced around ensuring the area was as seemingly clear as it was when they first arrived, then he brought out his crystal ball to instantly get to work and spy on the priest. "Let's see if he's made it. Hopefully we'll get a clue where they are." The thought of seeing the dead alive again was kind of frightening, but he held back any worry in anticipation.
Aneris-Yesterday at 8:02 PM
"Hopefully he didn't fall into the ravine or something" Aneris mutters
DM-Yesterday at 8:03 PM
London is able to see the priest sitting in what appears to be a small room. It is rather well lit and he is reading a book. He closes it and looks up when he realizes he is being watched by London. He gives an okay sign and nods.
London-Yesterday at 8:04 PM
"Looks like the job is done. Are you okay with heading over there right now?" He stopped scrying.
Aneris-Yesterday at 8:05 PM
"I'd prefer now actually. Think she's back at the house again?"
London-Yesterday at 8:08 PM
"If she woke up like nothing happened, then probably.. Only one way to find out."
Aneris-Yesterday at 8:09 PM
That's good enough for Aneris so she heads off towards the house where Lacie was probably murdered and Pawo was defenitly knocked the fuck out.
Zarek-Yesterday at 8:10 PM
Zarek just watched them from afar, and decided to slowly follow them from a safe distance. Normally he would approach any of them but seeing them together like this was a bit suspicious.
DM-Yesterday at 8:10 PM
they find it as empty as it was left when they arrived the first time, however minus one little girl this time. Im assuming zarek trailed, and likely found this supicious
London-Yesterday at 8:14 PM
London scratches his head awkwardly and considers bringing out the crystal ball again. "You think he's close enough for telepathy?.." Judging where to look just by visuals is hard. "I guess I could try to scry on her.. But that seems wrong without giving her a warning first." He tries to judge if the priest is close enough for telepathy.
Aneris-Yesterday at 8:15 PM
"If you don't want to scry her why don't we at least check in with the priest from this town? Since he, you know, had the body"
London-Yesterday at 8:16 PM
"Um, yeah.. Let's do that then." Heading to the next location
DM-Yesterday at 8:17 PM
group heads to the church where they find mr priest man standing outside waiting for them
Aneris-Yesterday at 8:19 PM
Aneris gives half a wave. London gets to greet, she's better than that.
London-Yesterday at 8:21 PM
London walks forward trying to hide any shame in not realizing this was probably the obvious destination to begin with. "Hey, so how'd things go?"
Zarek-Yesterday at 8:22 PM
Zarek was really confused, maybe he was too far away but that didn't look like the town's priest...he resembled the priest that healed Salt more in fact.
DM-Yesterday at 8:23 PM
The man greets the group and explains Lacies condition. "The revival was successful and she is free of that blight you described to me after her initial death. She appears normal now aside from her arms. She's currently sleeping upstairs."
Aneris-Yesterday at 8:23 PM
Aneris sweats. "Aside from her arms? I thought you said you could help with that?"
DM-Yesterday at 8:24 PM
"The magic isnt allpowerful. She's going to need a good deal of time to adjust." He explains
London-Yesterday at 8:25 PM
"Ah.. that's fine. You've done more than enough. Thank you." He's not sure whether to expect sword arms or no arms, but they'll see soon enough.
Aneris-Yesterday at 8:25 PM
Aneris frowns but says nothing.
London-Yesterday at 8:27 PM
" It's okay! We were both talking about how she needed a way to defend herself anyway, right? I'm sure she's fine! " He hoped that'd help comfort her, but he was starting to worry, himself.
DM-Yesterday at 8:28 PM
"Well, I assume you'd like to see her, come inside." He gestures to the open door
London-Yesterday at 8:29 PM
They follow
DM-Yesterday at 8:32 PM
The priest leads the group to the upper room of the church. They enter what appears to be a guest room of a kind with at least five empty beds and one occupied one. A familiar shade of hair peeks out from under some blankets and appears much cleaner upon immediate glance than what the group first encountered. Lacie sleeps quietly with her back towards the group, undisturbed by the faint amount of light in the room.
Aneris-Yesterday at 8:33 PM
"You get to wake her up, hero magic man" Aneris mutters
Zarek-Yesterday at 8:33 PM
Zarek, seeing them enter the church, declares this as 'way too suspicious' and decides to enter too.
DM-Yesterday at 8:34 PM
guessing Zarek doesnt see them downstairs
Zarek-Yesterday at 8:34 PM
Zarek looks around for any trace of them or anyone that could be downstairs
DM-Yesterday at 8:35 PM
go roll on that one
London-Yesterday at 8:35 PM
"What? Why don't we let her sleep? She's been through enough to deserve a little rest." London responds mostly to delay the suspenseful reunion
Zarek-Yesterday at 8:36 PM
/r 1d20+1
POS diebotBOT-Yesterday at 8:36 PM
@Zarek:
1d20+1
= (19)+1 = 20
DM-Yesterday at 8:37 PM
zarek is able to deduce they went upstairs and sneaks up there without being seen by anyone else
Aneris-Yesterday at 8:37 PM
"Because who knows when she'll wake up on her own, plus aren't we heading out in the morning? We don't really have time to wait around."
DM-Yesterday at 8:37 PM
he finds the room where London and Aneris are and waits outside it
London-Yesterday at 8:41 PM
"Yeah, I guess so..." He is reluctant and turns to the priest. "Do you mind if I see the state of her arms?"
DM-Yesterday at 8:44 PM
london rolls dex for sneak
go for it though
"Of course" The priest replies
London-Yesterday at 8:47 PM
/r 1d20+1
POS diebotBOT-Yesterday at 8:47 PM
@London:
1d20+1
= (2)+1 = 3
London attempts to move the covers off Lacie delicately but this goes terribly and she wakes up immediately with a bit of a jump. She recoils as far back as possible into the wall and bangs her head on it. She wakes up immediately at least but has trouble bringing her arms to the back of her head. Her arms, noteably, are indeed arms, rather than blades. They appear obviously prosthetic, but move regardless.
Zarek-Yesterday at 8:54 PM
Zarek hears a loud bang against the wall and immediately enters the room. "What are you two doing?"
Aneris-Yesterday at 8:54 PM
Aneris flinches at London's fuck up, this isn't the first time she regrets letting a bard doing something.
London-Yesterday at 8:56 PM
London holds his position not expecting such an extreme reaction. He recoils a bit before speaking. "Lacie, are you okay?" He basically ignored Zarek, oops.
Aneris-Yesterday at 8:58 PM
Aneris turns to Zarek. She then realizes she doesn't really have a good lie on hand so she just gives half a shrug before also ignoring him and turning to the girl. "I'm really sorry about him, and your head. Mostly your head."
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:00 PM
Zarek, completely ignored but too surprised over seeing Lacie laying on a bed, not buried, simply walks up to london and puts his hand heavily on his shoulder. "Telepathy. Now" He mutters to him
London-Yesterday at 9:01 PM
"Uh, yeah.." Telepathy is on between the three, but he wasn't really ready to start a conversation
DM-Yesterday at 9:01 PM
Lacie manages to get a grip on reality after a minute and looks around the room. "Oh, hello again Mr. magician. And everyone..." She continues holding her head and attempts to hide a yawn.
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:02 PM
Zarek smiles at the girl and waves at her "Good evening" Care to explain?
London-Yesterday at 9:03 PM
London grows less tense and let's out a bit of a sigh. "Did you have a nice sleep?"
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:04 PM
"Sorry he woke you up." London woke up a child, he's really clumsy. Isn't that much obvious?
"Are the priests being nice to you?"
DM-Yesterday at 9:04 PM
"Uuh... not really..." She brings her arms down from her head.
"They are being nice though. Why are you all here again?"
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:05 PM
Oh, did you London? I might need your help to wake up a couple people, since I guess you specialize in really DEEP sleeps
London-Yesterday at 9:06 PM
"Um, we didn't say bye remember? It'd be rude to leave without doing that much."
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:07 PM
Aneris sucessfully turned the focus to London! "Uhh, we were passing by the town again and wanted to see how you were doing."
London-Yesterday at 9:07 PM
Their cooperation in this is bad.
DM-Yesterday at 9:07 PM
"Oh okay..." Lacie looks down, a little dejected.
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:08 PM
Zarek smirks at this shitshow of a lie.
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:08 PM
Why didn't you ask the priest what she rememebred? Why did you rush and wake her up??
London-Yesterday at 9:09 PM
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa This is a lot of pressure for a guy.
"What matters is we're here right now! Why do you seem down?"
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:09 PM
Aneris smacks London and shoots a glare at him. Don't do that
DM-Yesterday at 9:09 PM
Lacie looks up at the two adults in front of her fighting
London-Yesterday at 9:11 PM
He rubs where he got hit. "We're just playing around, don't worry."
DM-Yesterday at 9:12 PM
"Mmm, okay" She nods. "Is the big coat man okay?"
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:12 PM
"The red guy?"
DM-Yesterday at 9:13 PM
she nods
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:13 PM
"He a bit stuck up but he's doing fine besides that."
London-Yesterday at 9:15 PM
"Yeah, he's doing okay. He said he had fun spending time with you." He never actually said that but it sounded believable enough
DM-Yesterday at 9:15 PM
She smiled a little, as it was believeable enough
London-Yesterday at 9:15 PM
Talking to the priest about how long she's been awake and what she remembers really would have helped.. But things seem okay, right?..
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:16 PM
You have no idea what's going on below the surface
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:16 PM
Here I thought I was the only one who was lost.
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:17 PM
I really just wanted to hand the kid some knives and see her on her way, that asshole said the arm thing would be taken care of
Why are you here even? Aneris turns to Zarek again
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:18 PM
I was following London to "a bar", but I guess you two had an appointment already
London-Yesterday at 9:19 PM
"Sorry we left so suddenly last time. Are you really doing okay? If you need anything you can just ask. We're just visiting again, but if you want, we can come by again later. The red coat man got this cool ability to teleport, so he can visit anytime." He just doesn't know you're alive yet.
You were following me?..
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:19 PM
You got lost trying to find a bar in a town you've already been in? Aneris deflects
"He had some . . .. magic things to go do?"
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:21 PM
I wasn't the only one lost it seems. He narrows his eyes a bit and stares at London.
DM-Yesterday at 9:21 PM
Aneris's simplicity registers more with Lacie and she understandingly acknowledges the importance of said lie. "You already helped me, thank you." She bows her head a little
London-Yesterday at 9:25 PM
I'll explain everything in a bit, okay!! "If you're sure.. Guess you need to sleep though, huh? I'm happy we got to see you again."
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:26 PM
Aneris gives Lacie a thumbs up. "Don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't wake you up again."
DM-Yesterday at 9:28 PM
"Mmhm, I'm happy I met you all." She smiles at the group behind tired eyes
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:28 PM
Zarek sighs and then smiles.
London-Yesterday at 9:28 PM
"Goodnight, Lacie."
He starts to head out, giving a nod of gratitude to the priest before leaving
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:30 PM
Zarek waves to Lacie and the priest and follows behind.
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:31 PM
Aneris also heads off, hoping Zarek will question London.
London-Yesterday at 9:34 PM
After exiting, London turns not-so-prepared to explain, " Soo..."
"You saw that."
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:34 PM
Aneris attempts to sneak off
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:35 PM
"Yeah, she banged her head pretty loudly. Aneris, don't extend this more than we need to."
London-Yesterday at 9:36 PM
"Aw, let her go. It was my idea anyway." He tries to help
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:37 PM
Aneris turns back around. "I just figured he'd be able to asnwer questions better and didn't want to get in your way" Aneris glares at London, mad that he's trying to help her.
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:38 PM
"I'm starting to have my doubts since he hasn't answered a single question yet"
London-Yesterday at 9:38 PM
He grimaces. It wasn't his fault she got caught.
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:38 PM
"Have you even asked a question though?" Aneris
"A real question?"
London-Yesterday at 9:39 PM
"I just didn't want to answer anything while we were in there. It was a sentimental moment. Now that we're out I can."
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:40 PM
"Then I'll repeat myself, what are you two doing here?"
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:40 PM
"Saying hi"
"See we're co-operative, so we're done here then?"
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:41 PM
"Wow you weren't kidding about him being better at answering" he turns back to London
London-Yesterday at 9:42 PM
"Uh, well, were you there when I was talking to Pawo and the others about the whole revival thing? That kind of happened after I already started something.."
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:42 PM
Aneris shuts up, she knows she should take Zarek's responce as a victory but hearing that the bard is better was a hit.
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:42 PM
"Go on..."
London-Yesterday at 9:45 PM
"You don't really need Aneris here for the whole spiel, right? She's just going to be bored hearing a rehash of stuff that's already happened."
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:46 PM
"I don't need you defending me"
Aneris did indeed want to leave a minute ago, but she wanted to elave on her own terms.
London-Yesterday at 9:47 PM
"Then why are you still here if you wanted to get away so badly? If you want to join in the conversation, then suit yourself." He's buying time. This is a difficult thing to confess to.
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:47 PM
"Come on London! At this rate I'm going to be the bored one here"
London-Yesterday at 9:49 PM
"Okay, okay." Caught so fast. "In the city full of lanterns and stuff, I met with the priest and asked him if he could revive Lacie. He said it would be a hefty price, so Aneris decided to show off and pay for me. Are you happy now?"
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:50 PM
Aneris tries to sneak off again
London-Yesterday at 9:52 PM
London sees her but doesn't comment
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:52 PM
Zarek turns to look at Aneris in surprise but catches a glimpse of her trying to leave the conversation and turns back to London. "How much was it?..."
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:53 PM
Aneris flinches are turns around again. "Wow that's kind of rude, I don't ask how much you spend on things."
London-Yesterday at 9:54 PM
London makes sure Aneris isn't in the new secret telepathy chat. Like 100,000...?
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:54 PM
How did you bribe her!? "My bad, I shouldn't ask that kind of thing" he replies to Aneris
London-Yesterday at 9:55 PM
"I guess I should admit, she also was the person who mentioned I should talk to a priest in the first place. She really loves to rub it in how ignorant I am." He huffed.
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:55 PM
Aneris glares at London suspiciously.
"I don't need this." Aneris mutters and heads off.
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:56 PM
"See you later" Zarek says as she leaves
London-Yesterday at 9:56 PM
"Oops.." He mumbled. Guess that was too obvious..
Aneris-Yesterday at 9:56 PM
Aneris ignores the nosy fuck.
Zarek-Yesterday at 9:57 PM
After seeing her leave he asks London again, this time out loud "What were you doing with her? How did you bribe her?"
London-Yesterday at 10:01 PM
"I didn't bribe her. Do you think someone like her would even take a bribe from me? She'd probably set anything I offered on fire just to watch me burn."
Zarek-Yesterday at 10:02 PM
"100,000 is just...a lot of gold, I didn't know she had that kind of money with her...or that she would use it on someone else"
London-Yesterday at 10:07 PM
The night before we left this city the first time, I met with Aneris and talked about bringing Lacie back. She was the one who suggested going to a priest and even went as far as offering to pay for her revival. It's not like it's the first time she's ever done a nice thing, but you saw how she kind of got along with Lacie anyway. Is it that hard to believe? He reverted back to telepathy. Something like this was definitely easier to say out of range of the elf's ears.
Zarek-Yesterday at 10:10 PM
"I didn't really see much her with the girl to be honest, but...that's nice to hear. I'm just, confused is all." Zarek smiles "but I'm really happy you two did this, she really deserved to keep living."
London-Yesterday at 10:16 PM
"Oh yeah, you definitely sounded happy chastising me for waking people up from their DEEP sleep earlier." He countered, but he didn't let that bother him for long. "Sorry for hiding the secret from you. It was kind of an impulsive decision, but I don't regret it. I'm glad you understand."
Zarek-Yesterday at 10:18 PM
He smirked "Chastising may be going a bit too far, but God by the way you were so hesitant to answer it really seemed like you had done something way worse"
London-Yesterday at 10:21 PM
London replied with a laugh. "Aneris acts like nice acts are the worst things in the world. I had to be careful." He didn't laugh for long though because he remembered the chance she was eavesdropping was still there and coughed. "Yeah, I guess I may have been a bit overly ambiguous."
Zarek-Yesterday at 10:25 PM
Zarek laughs. "All's good then." He paused a bit "Are you telling the rest?"
London-Yesterday at 10:30 PM
"Um, I'm thinking about it. I was keeping it a secret mostly for Aneris's benefit, and I guess it felt wrong to bring up sad memories just after they all finished grieving over her. But after that conversation about revival with Pawo, I do feel kind of guilty keeping it a secret. If he finds out what happened, he'll be ticked.."
Zarek-Yesterday at 10:37 PM
"Yeah, I understand...Its a complex situation..."
London-Yesterday at 10:38 PM
"We'll only be here for a day, so I'll decide tomorrow or something. But I really feel like it would be better not to distract everyone from the upcoming situations we'll be facing."
Zarek-Yesterday at 10:39 PM
“That’s true…I’m still kind of surprised you would do this with Aneris out of all people. I guess…maybe I should ask you something..possibly”
London-Yesterday at 10:43 PM
“I guess we are kind of an odd duo. She did threaten to kill me once or twice, but I’m starting to see a disparity between her actions and words. I’m not -as- worried about her anymore..” Although the worry is still there. “What is it?”
Zarek-Yesterday at 10:47 PM
“You aren’t allowed to tell anyone though. Absolutely anyone. I want you to swear your life on it.”
London-Yesterday at 10:50 PM
“Um, sure…” Somehow he didn’t think this was something worth swearing on his life.. “Need me to make a binding vow or anything?”
Zarek-Yesterday at 10:52 PM
“A what? No… I was just thinking, about Aneris..since you’re closer to her than I expected I guess.” He turns his head away “ I was thinking maybe you had some love advice you could give me?”
London-Yesterday at 10:56 PM
For a moment, London just stared at Zarek letting the request sink in. It wasn’t something totally unexpected, but it was still news to him. “I didn’t see that coming.”
Zarek-Yesterday at 10:57 PM
Zarek gets visibly flustered “Y-you don’t have to answer if you have nothing I guess…”
Aneris-Yesterday at 10:58 PM
Aneris, sitting in her room at the inn sneezes. “Fucking clerics”
London-Yesterday at 11:01 PM
“No, I just needed to think it through.. You two really do make a great combo together in battle. And she got you that horse, too. I can see the possibility of it happening.” London nodded to himself imagining the scenario - intentionally biding his time just to see the other grow more embarrassed.
Zarek-Yesterday at 11:03 PM
Zarek just looks away even more. “Maybe..”
London-Yesterday at 11:20 PM
As if gaining insight, he beamed, “Yeah, I can help you out. You’ve done a lot for me already, it’s the least I could do. Trying to get with someone like Aneris sounds tricky, but I think, if anyone, you’re probably the most capable for the job. And well, after recent events, I’ve grown to like the two of you, so seeing the two of you together could be nice.” Or something?
Without wasting time and giving no chance for negotiation, he pulled Zarek closer and lowered his voice. “You see, what you need to do is build up points with her through fighting. Take some mercenary jobs - that will do the trick! Then later, after a long day of working together, camp out alone in a cave or something and make your move. You have to say something romantic!” He cleared his throat before doing an obscure impression of Zarek’s voice, “ After this is all over, let’s keep fighting alongside eachother - just the two of us. ” +wink. He released him to gain some space just to gesture in emphasis - “That’s when you make your move! You’ve got to kiss her!! And what happens next will come naturally, hehe..” He nodded to himself proudly just imagining it.
Zarek-Yesterday at 11:25 PM
Zarek listens carefully, quietly nodding until London gets to the last part and pushes his face away. “Come on! I don’t have a death wish!….B-but the rest could really work…” Zarek thinks on it really focused. “Mercenary jobs…I’m not sure how feasible it is in our current condition but it sounds like the perfect middle ground between us.” Zarek smiled “Thanks a lot!…also, never do that impression of me again.”
London-Yesterday at 11:29 PM
London smiled in return. “Sure thing!” Responding to both remarks. “Will you let me know how it goes? I’ll be cheering you on, regardless.”
Zarek-Yesterday at 11:31 PM
Zarek pauses a bit “I would owe you that much if it actually worked I guess…But we can never mention this out loud again. Never.”
London-Yesterday at 11:37 PM
London gave an ‘ok’ with a hand. If you want to spend an extra day in town, I’m sure the rest of the team won’t mind. I know you’re always in a hurry for the benefit of the team, and Phalanx is probably going to be looking for that rebel group in search of us next, but I’m sure they’ll be safe. Ethis said he was in contact with that girl he mentioned, after all. I don’t think he’d suddenly betray her. It might make things harder on us, but it’s not something we won’t be able to overcome.
Zarek-Yesterday at 11:40 PM
Don’t worry, I’m not that selfish. I’m sure I’ll find the time in our journey. I don’t want to let this mess my priorities up too much
London-Yesterday at 11:44 PM
Ah, good call. Got to admire how responsible you can be. Anyway, did you need anything else? If not, I’m probably heading to bed. It got late. You don’t mind not telling anyone about the Lacie thing, do you?
Zarek-Yesterday at 11:44 PM
after making you swear on your life about my secret? Don’t worry. Goodnight.
London-Yesterday at 11:46 PM
Heh, yeah, don’t worry about it. He stopped the telepathy before waving him off as he headed to the inn. “Night!”
Zarek-Yesterday at 11:47 PM
Zarek waved and then gave him some distance. It would be awkward to walk besides him after saying goodbye. But where else was he gonna head but the inn.
