First sight [text]

[godseer]

No sooner do I finish one interstellar voyage than I find myself the unwitting participant of a second one.
I hope, for all our sakes, that its ending is not quite as explosive as my first.
I have my misgivings about this ship, but sudden and catastrophic destruction is not one of them.
That would be too easy.

To the part-time residents of the two universes I've intimately familiarized myself with, hello again.
To everyone else, greetings. My name is Rose Lalonde.
I look forward to the new acquaintanceships, brotherhoods, and nemeses of the coming days here. I get the feeling that we're going to need them.
I have no intention of blindly submitting to the whims of whomever is in charge here. I shall proudly wear citrus as my hue of choice when it suits me. Noir doesn't feel especially appropriate given recent events.

I seem to remember your ruthless murders of thousands within the game session, including several of my friends a few times over, had questionably grounded motives themselves.

[barkstabbark]

its called winning a war
anyway none of thats important now
does this look like the incipisphere to you

[godseer]

No. It looks like a ship where, if you make the slightest move towards killing someone again, there will be a lot of people looking to put you down, because conflict on a ship full of already-confused and lost souls is the last thing we need right now.
And I'll be the first in line.
That was not a war. That was genocide. And if you think otherwise, you're far from convincing me you've changed your ways.

[barkstabbark]

thats exactly what i just said stupid
so even if i did want you dead i wouldnt be stupid enough to make that move
and i dont
not even a little
as hard as that might be for you to accept

im not even asking for much here
just dont actively try to kill me
i havent even done anything here
go ahead and ask anyone
im clean as a fucking whistle

[godseer]

Do me a favor. Tell me about the place where you were before this one.

[barkstabbark]

so you know about that

it was a space station
the assholes in charge had a thing for pulling people out of doomed timelines and experimenting on them
its about as fun as it sounds

[godseer]

It sounds like an exceptionally large and rambunctious barrel of primates.
What else happened there? Were you joined by other members of my or the trolls' session?

[barkstabbark]

do you want a fucking timeline here
be a little more specific kid im not gonna sit here all day listing off shit thats happened
ive been there a hell of a long time
but yeah there were a fuck of a lot of players there
trolls humans you name it
even had a few other dersites and prospitians for awhile
not that most of em stuck around

[godseer]

I'm primarily interested in if you met your previous master, and a friend of mine. I'm sure you know the one.

[barkstabbark]

shes not my fucking master

what about her

[godseer]

If there's anybody who I personally would put you in close proximity to, if I thought you could change your ways, it would be her. That is why I'm curious what happened at your previous universe.

[barkstabbark]

oh yeah
so youre saying youd put your bets on jade being the one to change my mind
is that it

[godseer]

She is your most massive weak point which is not fried and covered in pork fat.
I doubt she can change your fur's color, but perhaps she could alter its texture.
You didn't answer my question.

[barkstabbark]

thats because i felt bad for your shitty guessing skills
for a seer youre not very good at this

i didnt have all my prototypings when i got there
so nice try but youre still wrong
i barely even talked to jade until after i got that last prototyping

go ahead and try again though
youve got a 1 to 3 chance now
id be pretty fucking disappointed if a seer of light couldnt even beat those odds

[godseer]

[ ....aslkjasdfs

Jack if you wanted to gain her trust this is not the best way to do it. ]


For your information, I'm not in my element. Which is to say, the game.
But if Jade wasn't your primary means of declawing, if that's the case, I would hazard a guess towards the torture.

[barkstabbark]

[HE CAN'T HELP IT, HE KNOWS SOMETHING THE SEER OF LIGHT DOESN'T

the urge to rub it in her face is irresistable

no one ever said he was good at this]

ive still got claws
just use em for a different purpose now

and you didnt even take my 1 in 3 hint
but i guess thats part of it
cant exactly say the experiments didnt affect me
no one really gets out of there without a few scars

if youre looking for some easy explanation for this shit youre not gonna find one kid
im pretty damn sure you wouldnt believe me if i gave you the real reason

[godseer]

Try me.
I would assume your trifecta refers to the remaining three of my closer social circle.
I'll be surprised, though pleasantly so, if indeed I was the cause of your turn from genocide.

[barkstabbark]

wheres the fun in just giving it away
but wrong again

youve got one guess left
come on im sure you can beat fifty fifty odds
or maybe even a seer of light shouldnt bet against an ace

[godseer]

If you're looking for a Seer of Mind, she hasn't arrived yet. I suggest you wait a jump or two.
This isn't about luck. I'm getting information from you with every question, whether you know it or not.
A final guess is a moot point since I'll get what I need whether I answer correctly or not. But to placate: John.

[barkstabbark]

oh yeah great interrogative skills youve got there
except yknow
im not trying to hide any of this
ill be more impressed when you figure something out without me just saying it to your face

youre not even trying anymore
talk about being a wet blanket
but yeah still wrong

[godseer]

Forgive me if I don't particularly care to impress a mass murderer.
What exactly happened between you and Dave?

[barkstabbark]

the kid lives up to his title and i repay my debts
thats all you need to know

[godseer]

Now we're getting somewhere. Intentional vagueness, aside, but I've no right to complain about that. Did that hurt?

[barkstabbark]

did what hurt
repaying my debts
thats none of your business

[godseer]

You divulged just a little bit of what happened without griping too much and, I assume, received no accompanying physical pain. From the way I had to weasel that out of you, I'd suspect surprise from your end at your apparent resilience to truth.
