Bernard Bartlett reminisced with Andrew Atreides at 9:15AM, 4/3
BB: So Andy. Who're they?
AA: That is Jenny and Cassie. Over there are Robert, Kyle, and Martha.
BB: Hi!
CA: Uh, hi.
JB: Sup.
BB: So what's our old crew up to?
AA: Lantiel is sick, but he is still back on LoPaP.
AA: Napthe is gone, actually. A job on LoHaM. An architect.
BB: I knew he'd end up there. And the others?
AA: Jeremiah and Kersh... they died instancing. They were going for a hard mode achievement.
BB: Oh no. I'm gonna miss those two. They were the best.
AA: Christine is teaching another group. She is leading a tour group on LoCaW.
BB: Wait why... Oh right. I keep forgetting trolls can have human names.
AA: Redia just declined outright to take a trip this time. She's planning to become an officer.
BB: Her? An officer? I'm actually somewhat scared.
AA: You know she is wondering where you went?
BB: Oh right. Yeah, gimme her handle later. I'll hit her up again.
AA: So. What have you been up to, Bartlett? Where have you been for the past half year?
BB: Well, after I left, I tried living on LoUaD and LoDaC. Didn't work out too well.
BB: So I came back here.
BB: And you?
AA: I became a teacher.
BB: Wait, what? You know what we were like, right?
AA: No, I know what YOU were like. Not everyone was like you, you know.
AA: Thankfully for the rest of humanity...
BB: Oh come on! I wasn't that bad!
BB: Ok, I was.

>Bernard: Notice your friend's new habit.
Bernard Bartlett questioned Juliana Melinche at 6:08PM, 4/3
BB: That's... uh. Ok.
JM: Henderson gave me one. Then I asked him for another one. And another.
BB: This won't become a habit, will it? It spoils your taste. I would know.
JM: Just lemme have a little fun. I just got here!
BB: The Tower. It has not had, nor will it ever have ANY significance here ever. We're not sure why we built this thing, actually.
BB: Anyway, random pumpkins aside, that's the highest point we can go up to in the city.
JM: Can we drop something from up there?
BB: You can try. But it's windy up there. Unless you're packing a safe or something, it'll just blow out of the city.
BB: That is the Vokil Cafe. You shall never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. I'm quoting Battlestar Galactica.
JM: Isn't that where
BB: Yep. If anyone offers you a drink, don't take it.
BB: Better advice; don't go there. If the likes of Cirona and even my bro go there, it prolly ain't for us.
BB: Julia? You went there, didn't you...
JM: What're you waiting for? Get over here!

Party
>Bernard: Oh well.
Bernard Bartlett coyly conversed with Juliana Melinche at 6:16PM, 4/3
BB: So... Tacos and candy?
JM: I just have... different tastes.
BB: It'll ruin your taste. I mean, you could at least pick some good candy.
JM: Oh whatever, lemme live a little. I just got here.
BB: Anyway, so how's the world?
JM: It's fun! There's so much stuff to explore and do and see and all that.
BB: And this is only one planet.
JM: There's sixteen, right?
BB: Well, there's thirteen we can visit.
JM: What's with the other three?
BB: LoBaF and LoSaC are forbidden unless you got business there or something. Not that you would, anyway. LoBaF is allowing limited tours, since their sky islands and birds are just AMAZING. But they make you sign a waiver that says your family or friends can't 'whine about the crap you decide to do' if a really big bird decides to get breakfast.
BB: And LoSaC.... lemme tell ya. There's an instance you CAN but SHOULDN'T do called the Tiamat Culling that takes place on it. It's just black soil with a black sky, and everything's dark and depressing and some other word that begins with the letter d that would properly tell you how crappy the place is.
JM: And LoCaW?
BB: Cultist homeworld. Trolls only. No exceptions.
JM: A cult?
BB: The Cult of Fieri. I don't know anyone personally that could tell you more. I think you might've, but we both saw him get blown the hell up on live television.
JM: Is that the one with the purply ones?
BB: That's.... one way of puttin' it, yeah.
JM: So I should ask the slaver?
BB: NO. No, don't. She's touchy. And she's not actually part of them, from what I hear.
JM: Well, what have you heard?
BB: All I've heard is that she got kicked out for some blasphemy or somethin'.
JM: Simple. I'll ask her, then I'll read her. I ain't the hero of pulse for nothing.
JM: Also, I know what you're thinking, and no, I don't kiss on the first date.
JM: And no, you weren't too obvious about it. Rob just told me all boys are after that.

Re: 216 Days (Mr. Mulder, Thou Art a Troll.)
So.... Any reason why I'm carrying all the books?
Because you're the older one!
Not by much. Also, stop holding that book like that. It's weird, and it makes it look like you're flipping off whoever's in front of you.
Well, what am I supposed to do with it? Read it? It's gonna be a short read.
Yeah well, you can usually get the gist of it from the back cover. They're books for a reason.
I just don't get why we're still doing this right before the big assignment.
We're tracking a Hunter virus outbreak, not killing a god or anything like that.
Can we?!
Oh. Aww. Alright, I guess that's ok. If you like ridiculously fast, strong undead whatsits that want to eat you.
At least they don't transmit by fluids. Though I do need to ask the teacher when we get back about why that is.
They die too fast or something? I don't even know.
You two! Drop them in the pile already. Save the chit-chat for the ungodly long ride home.
I got the gasoline! And the matches.
WAIT. Why do you have both of them? DAMMIT MAN. You couldn't even carry matches?!
Well, they were just matches....
Whatever. Alright, let's light it up!
I love the smell of burning ink in the morning.
Hey, I know I've said this before, but this is boring as hell. When do we go back to Avernus?
Just one last thing.
Attention delinquents and hoodlums! Subversive literature will not be tolerated! Those who dare spread dissent are not fit to even burn with their vile materials! Let this be a warning!

Rethiel Tarson panicked at Bernard Bartlett at 7:12AM, 4/5
RT: HUMAN! YOU IN THERE? ARE YOU AWAKE?
BB: Yeah, what's up?

Bernard Bartlett asked Rethiel Tarson at 7:17AM, 4/4
BB: The fuck's sake is going on here?!
RT: Undead. Lots of them. We can't figure out where they came from!
BB: Uh, how about LoSaC?
RT: If it is, that place is in a shit ton of trouble. How'd it get here, first of all, and why are they so fucking strong?!
BB: Dammit, who's even left?
RT: Most of us. We're all chillaxin' in the lobby. Only ones not here are the ones that are never in anyway.
BB: So when's the help coming?
RT: No idea. I heard most of 'em are in Kent right now, working their way over.
BB: That's on the other side of the city...
RT: Well, whatever. We got food, and we already sent people out to get the scoop on stuff.
BB: Did they call in the Drones?
RT: They've been called. Been out for a few hours, I think. Or so I got told.
RT: They're gonna barricade soon, so let's talk downstairs.
BB: Any idea who's dead?
RT: We're guessing only hundreds, really. From what I heard, almost everyone made it to the bunkers in time.
BB: The guild bases?
RT: Please. They're untouchable. They can't do jack shit since they all went to find some douchebag on LoSaC, so they prolly just went under and locked all the doors.
BB: I know this might sound weird, but what about the tournament grounds?
RT: That's... that's out there man. I don't know. It is a bit ways off from here, though, so I don't think any of 'em might go there.
BB: So what's your name anyway?
RT: Rethiel. I live about three units down from you.
BB: Bernie. I live... well, you know where I live.
RT: Class?
BB: Uh.... um...
>Bernard: Make one up
BB: Bard of hope.
RT: Damn! That's a... unique class. Mage of blood here.
RT: I don't see a codpiece anywhere, though.
RT: Not that it looks like you'd need the space, anyway.
BB: So I was right. Mages are male-only.
RT: I think I'm gonna like you.Last edited by Levenfish; 06-13-2012 at 07:38 PM.

pP: No need to worry, bro! Some of my instances are still beta, so they ain't got nothing in them yet. I'll just chill here till this is over.
iI: Have you heard from Lena?
pP: Yeah, I talked to her. She's fine. She's probably making out with Velias in the base.

>Bernard: Reload.
>Bernard: Find an alternate path to Lena's house.
Ok, so note to self: If you throw a rock, they won't go for where the rock lands, but actually loop around to where the rock would've come from.
Definitely not LoSaC.
>Bernard: Curse with your dying breath, then reload.
They can also communicate. Not with words, but something.

iI: Lena, would you stop worrying. I got this. I know exactly where to go, what to do. I got this shit locked down.

pP: Thankfully she's the only one, or I'd be having a hard time.
pP: Ok, getting back on topic.
pP: What happens if you get offed and her parents end up biting it too?
pP: You're going to leave her all alone.
iI: Not true. She still has her shipteasy friend. And she has you.

BB: Fine. Just a little light-headed. It'll pass.
BB: Dammit.
RT: What?
BB: There's nothing to do. I can't go outside, and I can't go to my room.
BB: So... What's up?
RT: Eh, nothing much. The stations are back on again, so everyone's watching television or something.
RT: A few went upstairs. No idea why.
BB: I'm sorry, but exactly what's the point of having a damn barricade if you can just undo that fast?
RT: We said that at first, but one of us went to the bathroom and....
RT: We thought it was blood. Then we thought it was tears.
RT: Then we realized it was worse.

BB: Moment over. Good bye. Shoo.

BB: And I quote, Oh my dear, I loooove you but I haaaate all that youu staaaand for, but I think we shoooould go have sloppy makeouts in the cargo hold!
RT: So that's a yes?
BB: Fuck no! I'm merely quoting C-3PO. Now, that guy knew what the he was saying.
RT: And what's wrong with me, exactly?
BB: Nothing, but I'm already taken.
RT: You just said you didn't have a blackrom!
BB: No, I have a redrom. Hopefully, anyway.
RT: So you still have a free quadrant.
BB: NO. FOR... Humans don't have blackroms!
BB: Besides, why...
BB: Ok, let me get this straight. There are like, 50 other trolls here, none of whom I've conveniently seen save for those four idiots in the background till now.
BB: And you ask the ONLY HUMAN here.
BB: What is wrong with this picture.
RT: So.
BB: WHATTHEFUCK DO YOU MEAN SO?

RT: So... your place or mine?
BB: WHY.
RT: Come on, just do it. It's fun! And you can keep your redrom too!
BB: NOPE NOPE NOPE.
RT: COME ON! It'd be so easy to hate me!
BB: The universe hates me today.
RT: Oh, so you'll have one with an abstract concept, but you won't have one with someone sitting next to you? Great!
BB: Excuse me, I need to go punch a kitty. Don't follow me.

Lomak Sharpash greeted Cirona Keates at 11:34AM, 4/5
LS: Hi Lady Svelko! Hi Cirona! Hi... everyone else whose names ah never got.

CK: Sup Restil.
RG: Hey.
CK: And the idiot is... well, he's himself.
BB: Good to see you too, Cirona.
LS: So how was the trip?
CK: TRIP? This wasn't a trip. This was an ACTUAL mission. We went to kill the Trickster?
LS: The who? Oh right, that guy!
BB: Is it just me, or is he even more disgustingly enthusiastic?
RG: Eh, he's just being himself. Kinda like you.
>Cirona: Begin venting/whining
CK: STUPID. JUST RIDICULOUS.
CK: You know what the guy did? He shot himself!
BB: Uh... what?
LS: Isn't that a good thing?
CK: No. They thought it'd convince us they died.
CK: There's no gunshot wound, to begin with. Second, their bodies disappeared.
CK: You NEVER assume anyone's dead until you see the body! Then pump a few more rounds into it.
BB: So I don't see a lot of people left.
LS: Oh no, did the Trickster kill them?
CK: No. We got ambushed by a xenos queen. We couldn't kill it.
BB: Wait. A queen? The
CK: Yeah. The same one in the Culling. The same one I faced a few years back.
CK: LOMAK WHAT THE HELL.
LS: Ah was told ah should do this.
CK: BY WHO?!
LS: Restil.

RG: Well, Bernard did say you need to get laid.
RG: A completely friendly bear hug does nothing for that, but it is fairly hilarious.
>Bernard: Capture this obviously heartwarming moment to be recorded for all eternity.
CK: BERNIE! YOU DID NOT JUST DO THAT.
BB: Oops. Lomak, keep hugging her while I run away. She needs it badly.
CK: Out of my way!

Bernard Bartlett explained to Cirona Keates at 12:15PM, 4/5
BB: Ok, so
BB: OW. Dammit why do you have to do that?
CK: Because you could just run. I would.
BB: Ow. Anyway, as I was saying.
BB: If you haven't heard already, there was a zombie outbreak yesterday here.
CK: A what.
RG: I believe Lord Chekov will inform Lord Virken soon. He was directing the guilds yesterday on clearing the infected.
LS: Ah heard only trolls got infected. Should we be worried?
RG: Possibly, but this is neither the time nor the place to discuss it. I would much prefer to hear what convoluted, zany shenanigans Mr. Bartlett has gotten himself into.
BB: Anyway.... so I'm stuck inside all day, right? Lobby's the only safe place.
BB: So Rethy over there comes to me and starts hitting on me.
BB: Says she wants me to be her kismesis.
BB: I keep saying no, but she's persistent. She actually hits me right in the... well, again.
BB: This would help if troll biology didn't involve the term "double Windsor-knot reproductive carbon fiber bulge stringing."
RT: Simple. That comes right after the "rapid plateau shame globe pacification," and it's around that point that a second bucket can come in, though
CK: Ok, enough crap about how liquids can start spilling all over because some glands got the equivalent of a written notebook.
BB: Holy shit, what was I just witness to.
>Cirona: This is stupid
CK: Whatever. So he's your kismesis, even though he says he isn't.
CK: And he brought me here so I could fill that quadrant.
RT: Supposedly. You seem... well, you look exotic.
RT: You got a little time?
CK: Nah, I'm not into that right now.
RT: Come on! How about one of you?
LS: Uh, ah wouldn't know what to do.
RG: Sadly, I'm already taken.
RT: Well, I can teach you if you want!
CK: No, Lomak. Forget it. You're too young.
BB: Well, he is an adult, technically. He is thirteen, after all.
CK: Yeah, but I don't think he knows how to hate properly.
BB: True.
RT: So...
CK: What guild you in?

CK: Freelancer? What's the highest instance you been in?

>Bernard: Be the good guy
It's not even one yet. Cirona, why are you such a bitch....
Bernard Bartlett consoled Rethiel Tarson at 12:19PM, 4/5
BB: Rethiel? Could you open the door please?
BB: Rethiel?
RT: It's not locked.
BB: Alright then. I'm coming in.
BB: Uh... listen, don't listen to her. She's always like that.
>Bernard: Oh great.
BB: So... err...
RT: Do you remember when you asked why, out of all the trolls there, I asked you?
BB: ... yeah?
RT: It's because no one else would. No one ever talks to me.
BB: Why not? You seem like a... perky... fun person to be with.
RT: It's because I don't go instancing like everyone else.
RT: I've never stepped inside an instance. I don't even have a specibus.
BB: I can help you with that if you want.
RT: No, it's not that I can't, it's that I don't want to.
BB: Why not?
RT: I hate having to do that, risking my life just so I can get some shiny piece of junk that enables even riskier stuff.
RT: Not to mention that I'm probably the only one in this whole building that doesn't.
RT: So no one else wants to even be associated with me, cause I'm weak.
RT: You know how many people die everyday because they screw up on some boss and end up getting killed? Most of my friends are dead because of it, and the rest don't talk to me.
RT: I was looking for a kismesis because I want to feel like I'm actually a rival to someone.
RT: And...
RT: WHY. WHY'D YOU DO THIS?
BB: Wait, me?!
RT: LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO HATE YOU NOW?!
BB: Um... Well, do you have a matesprit?
RT: No. I've never had a quadrant. Not even the platonic ones.
>Bernard: Well, you know what to do.
BB: Uh.. Listen. You don't have to feel so down. I've never had any relatio— quadrants with anyone either.
BB: Plus, maybe a blackrom isn't for you. Maybe a redrom would work better.
RT: If I couldn't get anyone to notice that I exist, getting someone to like me is impossible.
>Bernard: Nope, you still know what you have to do.
BB: Well, that's not entirely true. I'm here.
RT: So you're red for me then? You pity me?
BB: I wouldn't call it that, but...
BB: No, I don't. It's a genuine, human liking, I think.
RT: Well... thank you. That means a lot to me.

>Restil: Stop them trying to kill each other
Restil Garath interceded for Cirona Keates at 3:16PM, 4/5
RG: Bernie, Cirona, I think both of you should take a break for just a moment.
JM: Maybe someone can tell me what we're talking about?
BB: What's your problem, bitch?!
CK: Me? She's the one refusing to do jack shit.
BB: What, so we all have to like risking getting killed every time we step into an instance?
CK: The hell did I say about liking it? She's just being a spoiled brat.
BB: What, so you hate it, you just happen to be such a god that you have an instance modeled after you?
CK: I never said that. I said that she should face facts; if she wants to get some, she needs to start getting into this stuff.
CK: Why do you think I keep saying I can get it whenever I want? I'm one of the best around!
LS: Guys? You're getting awfully loud.
BB: Let me tell you something; have you ever even stopped doing this for a day? Have you EVER not had the things you do?
BB: How could you possibly know how we feel? You're a damned cultist! You were raised to fight.
CK: Watch your fucking mouth.
BB: Make me, bitch! You're gonna hear me.
JM: Bernie, you really shouldn't push this....
BB: So is this it? You were soooo sociopathic that even the cult didn't want you!
CK: Hah! As if.
BB: No, but your guardian obviously didn't.
RG: Shit.
JM: Restil, call Aiolos. Fast.
CK: What did you say?
BB: You're obviously touchy about that topic. You don't have one, do you? You were an orphan and you got raised in a state home.
CK: Yeah right! We have state homes? Shows how much you know.
BB: Then you had one. But she must've hated you.
CK: Shut the fuck up.
BB: She must've. She must've known what a bitch you would grow up to be.
RG: He's not picking up...
CK: You want to die?
LS: Is Lena free?
BB: So she pulled a few strings. You got kicked out. Your own guardian rejected you.
CK: And what about your own guardians?
CK: They got killed by their own kind.
BB: You don't know anything!
JM: I'm trying the Legion again.
CK: Yeah! Your own little species threw a tantrum, and they ended up hurting themselves more than they did us!
BB: Bitch, shut your mouth before I do it for you.
CK: I'd love to see you try.
CK: So your guardians. Did they do it themselves? They were setting up the bomb and one of them accidentally detonated the bomb early?
CK: So was it your father or your mother?
BB: I had better ones than you!
CK: Mine didn't die!
BB: Mine at least loved me!
>Lomak: Cringe.
LS: Bernie! You okay?!
RG: Come on, come on... Tripis? Where's... never mind. How soon can you get here?!

Menu
>Bernard/Cirona: Begin whining to Lena/Tripis
Lena Travencal began scolding Bernard Bartlett at 3:41PM, 4/5
LT: Alright, you have an explanation, right?
BB: Yeah. But why do I have an icepack on my head for a black eye?
LT: Think of it as your punishment. Anyway, go ahead.
BB: Alright, so you remember how...
Tripis Mavler began interrogating Cirona Keates at 3:37PM, 4/5
TM: Alright girl, start talking. What happened?
CK: Ok, so...
LT: So you decided to risk getting beaten to a pulp just to get rid of a girl?
BB: Well, some stuff's changed, so I don't have to worry about that either way. And it seemed like a good idea at the time.
LT: ... Really?
BB: Ok, so I didn't think it through all that much.
TM: Understandable. I'd be similarly... well, no, I'd be pissed, but I'd have gone with it and seen where it went.
CK: So besides the fact that you really get around, you understand me, right?
TM: Yeah, I understand perfectly. I don't blame you for saying the truth. We don't like it, but if the weak don't make themselves strong, we can't help that.
CK: So why can't the dumbass get that then..
TM: Humans are a whole 'nother thing. You just gotta take them for what they are.
BB: But you know she's wrong! You can't help it if you don't want to do any of that stuff!
LT: I know. This actually comes up a lot in my work too.
LT: They keep saying most of us don't do anything useful, that we have such a spoiled perspective, and all that junk.
LT: Don't listen to her, Bernie. She's a troll, she can't help it. She was raised to follow that perspective.
LT: Plus, I never said they were wrong.
BB: But then why would you support me?
LT: But I never said they were completely right either.
TM: Alright, I'll talk with Lena, get this sorted out.
TM: What'll probably happen is that he'll apologize, you'll accept it, say you're sorry that you're strong enough to one-shot him, and things will go on.
CK: Now that I think about it, why is he with us anyway?
TM: Rob thought that Julia could use another human friend in the group.
CK: And it has to be him?
TM: Well, I don't know if you've noticed, but he isn't actually that big a noob.
TM: You see, Lena kinda cajoled us; and by cajoled;
TM: I mean she whined and pouted and then got Velias to do the same until Aiolos gave in.
TM: Then he whined until I gave in.
TM: So we set up an exp farm for him. We never bothered to dismantle it, though we probably will until he hits the farmed exp cap at 90.
CK: Oh right. He's 83. Forgot he's not absolutely useless.
BB: So why are you dressed up anyway?
LT: Night on the town. With all the crazy going around with the bombing and the plague, I haven't gotten a good sleep since I left the hospital.
LT: So I took some caffeine, and I'm going out on the town with Velias.
LT: Then I'm crashing for about twelve hours so I can get some rest.
BB: Oh. Well, you look pretty.
LT: Why, thank you!
CK: So what's the update on the Trickster?
TM: No good. We don't have any leads. And we got worse stuff.
TM: The Skaian Dreamers are taking responsibility for the bombing.
CK: Those guys? Dammit, the incomprehensible gibberish isn't enough?
CK: So they moved up to bombing now?
TM: Yep. We've got a hell of a year ahead of us.Last edited by Levenfish; 06-18-2012 at 06:24 PM.

Re: 216 Days (And the Understatement Award of the Year Goes To....)
Dear, you sure you're fine? You're only gonna be here for a few days! I don't want you to strain yourself!
No worries, Mom! I'll be fine!
Don't you have to go to the city in a few days, sis?
Yeah, but it's harvest season! Plus, I wouldn't miss the chance to be with my little brother!
So, what's new? Did you make new friends?
Yeah! I met lots of neat people! And the teacher's awfully nice too! The walk's long, but I don't think much of that.
Do you have lots of friends at the city?
You bet I do! There's sooo many people to meet, places to go...
They keep sending me everywhere and seeing lots of stuff!
I brought an album of places I've been. When we go inside, I'll show you them after dinner!
So... when do you get to come back to stay? I miss you!
Aww, don't worry! I'll be back soon.
But you always say that, and you NEVER actually stay for longer than a week!
Well, I'm really sorry about that, okay? I honestly don't know when, but one day I'll come back, and I'll be back to stay, okay? That's a promise!Last edited by Levenfish; 06-18-2012 at 09:36 PM.

—ions of dreamselves, as well as—
"So how do you think the others are doing?"
"Worried about Daniel and Michael. Cassandra and Jennifer, on the other hand, they should be fine.
And even then, the worst I can think of is that someone overhears Michael doing a Red vs. Blue skit and pissing off someone else."
"Right. You done yet? They're almost here, and we can't fight in this small a place."
"Just a little longer. Analysis.... done!
Alright, let's see....
Huh."
"What?"
"This report is completely useless. How disappointing."
"Oh. So we still don't know why you're like this?"
"There's precedent to this somewhere, even if they don't know it. The girls will figure it out.
In any case, I believe Aiolos will have brought the elite of Skaia's military to us. We should move."
"The dreams. They still pop up?"
"Yes. Fragments, not to mention the fact that I cannot understand through what game mechanics I have these dreams.
But enough for now. They're coming down. I'll use the noise machine, you field us while it disrupts them."
—Enough. Your death approaches, my dear.

>Bernard: Complain, as usual....
Bernard Bartlett did his usual thang with Lomak Sharpash at 9:14AM, 4/6
BB: Alright, so how did the fight go after I left?
LS: Not so well. We lost really fast. Cirona just yelled at us and left after a while.
LS: What about you? You just... fell after the third time.
BB: Yeah, I don't know. I'm fine now, though.
RT: She's a feisty one, isn't she?
LS: Ah guess so.
RT: So, what should we be looking for?
BB: Ok, Lena likes pets, but her parents are allergic. She did lose her bag after the bombing, so we can get her one.
BB: And Jason... actually, he needs a new gun. I kinda... lost it.
RT: How did you lose a gun? And where?
BB: I lost it when I had a close call during a Culling run. It was either the gun or me.
LS: Are we even allowed to buy guns? Ah think you're actually the oldest here.
BB: Rethy, what month? You're 14 in human years, right?
RT: Yeah. I turned that about two months ago.
BB: So then I'm older. November last year. Wow. I'm actually the oldest here. And for once, I'm also not the shortest!
BB: Alright, so the bag first then? Let's go. Rethy, you're leading.
BB: If Lomak and I walked in there... well, I don't have a preference, but I already had sights on others first.
LS: Preference for what?
RT: Eh, just a human thing, Lomak. Anyway, let's go! Finding a true bag will take a hell of a lot of time!

>Group: Watch the shiny idiot flat box thingy
"Leto Vantas here, with your daily Skaian news!
The Skaian Dreamers, a terrorist organization thought to be responsible for the bombings of Kent, Serkara, Verdammak, Tiamat, and more recently, Nespar and Alternis, has now taken responsibility for the bombing of the Royal Court, which sadly took from us the Royal Chaplain Amistad Makara, as well as the High Commander Delphi Terrilan, among others. The organization claims the attack was a prelude to another, even more sinister attack. Whatever they have in plan, I trust that the military will adequately defend us from the terrorists' vile intents. In any case, here's correspondent Brileno Julisop, live near the court building. Bril?"
"Thanks, Leto. Anyway, I'm getting told that the 7th Legion, along with some other guilds, think differently. They believe the Alternis and Court bombing, as well as the very recent plague, was actually instigated by a group that they have labeled 'The Remnant.'"
"And exactly who is this Remnant, anyway Bril? What are they?"
"Lord Virken and Lady Svelko say that whoever they are, they are very low-leveled, but have equipment that has never been seen before in the system! The sooner they are found, the less of a threat they can pose. In addition, it is believed that one of their members is a Trickster, an ancient mythological creature."
"Well, if they did, it would explain why they target the exact cult that would know how to stop them. I was actually eating outside when I saw some ships leaving the system. 7th Legion. Have they commented on that?"
"Yes. They said that the Trickster has escaped to LoSaC. They pursued the target, but a rebellious group of humans aided them."
"Ugh. It isn't ever easy, is it? I hope they got their just punishment?"
"All seventeen were executed, obviously. Befitting of traitors. However, it doesn't change the fact that they're still out there. They had no comment on whether they knew where the rest of the Remnant even is."
"Whoa whoa, there. No need to be so alarmist. Panicking will get us nowhere!
Anyway, that's Mr. Julisop for you.
Up next, the determination ceremony for the next High Chaplain is underway, coming up next. Don't go away!"
Bernard Bartlett expressed his confusion to Rethiel Tarson at 9:41AM, 4/6
BB: Huh?
RT: What?
BB: Strange. Jason always told me some troll terrorists did all of them except Tiamat and Verdammak.
RT: No, can't be. Why would they attack Kent? That's not a human area.
BB: He said it was to shift the blame or something. I'll ask him later. Or I could just write a note on the gun so I remember on his birthday.
BB: Wait.
BB: Lomak, didn't Cirona say a xenos queen or something came, and that was only after the Trickster escaped?
LS: Yeah, ah think so. Wonder why they didn't say that?
RT: Well, Vantas has to be a pawn of the system whenever he's on the news. I usually check his blog since he can speak more freely there.
BB: Alright. So anyway, we checked... all of them, I think. Only two more floors.
LS: How big is this place?
BB: Nothing compared to LoPaP. That place has malls bigger even the Royal Palace.
RT: Really? I kinda doubt that.
BB: We should take a trip there sometime, then. There's plenty to see.
BB: Anyway, to the 4th floor!

Bernard Bartlett conversed with Rethiel Tarson at 1:42PM, 4/6
BB: I have to ask. How much longer are we going to be here?
BB: I mean, I kinda expected you to take some time after for your own shopping, but you haven't bought a single thing yet!
RT: I have very, very specific tastes.
LS: Ah don't mind.
BB: Dude, this is for your own good. Do not enable her.
RT: No, let him! Don't you brainwash him!
LS: You can do that?
BB: I'm not brainwashing him, you're confusing him.
RT: Well, whatever. So yeah, it'll take a few more hours.
BB: Alright. Lomak, when do we have to go back to that bitch?
LS: Cirona said to show up by four.
RT: Oh, her.
BB: Yeah, I told you earlier, right? This eye right here is exactly why I hate her.
BB: I'm still lightheaded. And I keep getting minor headaches.
RT: Plus, you should be happy. You offered to pay, and I'm still holding you to that.
LS: If you need money, ah can give you some.
RT: Thanks, but maybe later. Anyway, we need a map. I forgot where that shop is with the pink entrance.

Re: 216 Days (Five Floors and Nary a Fashionable Bag in Sight.)
Have you heard the news recently, dear?
Mom! You know where I work; I end up making some of it!
Of course! How could I forget?
But anyway, have you heard about the colonies?
No. What did I miss?
They're going on about taxes, as usual. The new silicon tax just went in, and they're all in a tizzy about it.
I say, they need to go about it differently. If they'd just organize, I'm sure the government would be willing to listen.
Yeah, but they're always unhappy. Plus, they keep finding some way around it. I once got rotated into a customs house. Mom, the amount of contraband we picked up! You wouldn't believe how many smugglers are out there!
Oh dear! Well, they better be scared. You're out there, after all!
They're quite a strange lot, those Elysians!
