<gameover> NEVER APOLOGIZE

[retested]

I did. He wanted to acknowledge your work in what we did for the Fog God's sake.

<gameover> she is also a HUGE BABY so this all tracks pretty well

[retested]

Yeah, I doubt he's doing very well right now. Give him some time, maybe.

<GREATFLOOD>

[noasark]

I'll do so.

[DRAMATIC SIGHHHH]

<saturnschild>

[marcato]

He did a poor job. When I expressed hesitancy at meeting a stranger while half of the peninsula is after my head, he called me an idiot.

<gameover>

[retested]

He didn't tell you I sent him?

<saturnschild>

[marcato]

I told him I didn't believe him.

Although I'll admit spite might have played a role in my response.

<gameover>

[retested]

Why spite?

[marcato]

Ah. Let me amend my statement:

When he first sent a message, I asked him if he was truly on my side. Priest or not, you can never be too careful. After all, AM is a priest.

[Yup, he sure did slam his boyfriend there.]

He called me an idiot for failing to trust him so readily. That was when the spite set in. He told me that if I trusted you, I should trust him.

But you've earned my trust, Amanda. He hasn't.

<gameover>

[retested]

AM's a worthless piece of shit. Noa can be trusted, for the most part. Let me make that perfectly clear: he'd never betray Her other children, but he won't necessarily assist in what he views as gratuitous violence...and he'll 'protect' others of the fold from assisting in such if THEY'RE averse to violence, too. I trust him, I've collaborated with him in the past and I'm sure I will again, but I wouldn't seek him out for everything.

I don't expect you to trust him immediately. But he'd have to have one hell of a death wish to tell you I sent him if I hadn't.

<saturnschild>

[marcato]

Then I'll listen to him. For now.

But I'm not fond of him. His personality is sour.

Action!

[hauntpadour]

[Egon has come to see Amanda, He doesn't know her... at all, but he is a vocal follower of the fog. He knows nothing about her other than she's the one people really fear, she's the crazy one.]

[He sure knows it now.]

Amanda, we need to speak.

[retested]

[The only reason she doesn't open the door with her gun already aimed and ready is because they're in Dyster right now. Amanda's perfectly aware how unpopular she can be among some of the Fog's children, but doubts any of them would have the balls to kill Her priestess in this partuclar little plane of reality.

Nevertheless, she does have the gun in hand as she opens the door, just in case. The muzzle is simply pointed at the floor.]

Oh yeah?

<gameover>

[retested]

He's been my boss at the Labs for years now. You'll get used to his personality over time.

[hauntpadour]

[He barely glances down at the gun, tail stiff behind him. If she kills him, that doesn't look particularly good. And he doesn't exactly fear death anymore.]

I just want to discuss was happened to Reira, when we destroyed Felfri.

[retested]

What's there to discuss? You know what we did.

["We" meaning her and Aunamee, of course.]

[hauntpadour]

I know, I just... was wondering what led you to decided to kill her specifically?

[retested]

Reira and Marco caused the disaster and we struck at the first one we could. The Fog God needed power. We couldn't be sure whether the human sacrifices would be enough, but an enemy priest...one of the two behind Felfri...that would count for a hell of a lot, right?

[Though that's not all.]

Besides...she needed to pay for what she'd done.

<saturnschild>

[marcato]

My condolences.

<gameover>

[retested]

He's not the worst boss in the world. He's preferable to AM, that's for fucking sure.

<saturnschild>

[marcato]

[Pause. ]

Amanda, I'm afraid I have something to share with you. About AM and me.

Despite my better instincts, we are lovers.

<gameover>

[retested]

[Oh for the love of fuck.]

You've got to be shitting me.

[hauntpadour]

They did, and they weren't doing anything to stop it- intentional or not- but don't you think Reira is a bit of an... easy target? She's just a child, after all. The fourth is using her more than anything.

<saturnschild>

[marcato]

I don't trust him. I don't even particularly like him. He's a vicious sadist who would just as soon turn on his allies as he'd devour his enemies.

And yet.

<gameover>

[retested]

And yet you can't keep it in your fucking pants.

If you're going to sleep with someone, you could do far better than AM. You know that, right?

[retested]

You think that absolves her of the shit she did?

[Normally, Amanda would say yes. Children are innocents. But she's literally unable to see what Reira did as unintentional--and separating Amanda from her parental figure of choice is the gravest crime one can commit against her. Even the vaguest, most unintentional suggestion that someone might drive even the slightest wedge between her and her parental substitute is enough to drive her to murder. Reira went above and beyond that threshold.]

If we didn't make her pay, how long do you think it'd take her partners in heresy to use her as their 'get out of jail free' card? "Hey, let's have the kid do it. No one will take a kid to task for this shit."
