==> Kalfour: Ask these strangers for help

[bizango]

This is it. You're definitely hopelessly lost and the heat has, once again, become unbearable. You worry for awhile that this might really be it and you'll die out here in the sand, but right as you feel ready to faint, a grand building resolves itself out of the hazy air.

Or. Part of a building. By the time you reach its odd black foundation, you realize half of it is gone, sliced clean away. Still, what's left provides more then enough shade and you head inside to rest for a time. It's only after you've awoken from a fitful nap that you notice the empty spiderwebs strung across the ceiling and into the corners and you manage to become... mildly disturbed. This is unlike anything else you've seen so far and you wonder if perhaps you've been pursuing the wrong quest all along. Perhaps there's another puzzle? The outside of this building certainly looks like a larger, far more intricate version of the temples in your consorts' cities. And these webs look new enough that something must have strung them recently...

Confused and, if you're honest with yourself, desperate, you take out your husktop and start up trollian.

[soundtricks]

maybe you should make a faster way to get around
I made hover boots, maybe you can make something like that

[bizango]

Oh~that's a gOOd idea~
what did yOu maybe COmbine~

You haven't messed around with your alchemiter much. This may be just the thing you need!

[soundtricks]

um, let me think
a spare pair of boots
some spare parts from something a friend of mine was trying to salvage
and a little model female laughassassin from that Secondary Existence game

[bizango]

alright~
ahaha~
i might be able tO COme up with sOmething~
maybe~
Once i get baCk~

[soundtricks]

yeah
honestly, the weirdest combinations of things work out pretty okay in this game
who knows, you might think up something better than boots

[bizango]

ahaha~
maybe~
i definitely have~
maybe bOOts tO spare~
but i dOn't have any mOdels~
Or spare parts~
sO i think maybe i'll see~~

Maybe a hover skirt. That'd be really fantastic, wow.

[soundtricks]

The skirt would launch itself into space without you and then where would he be?

got anything with wings♫
or like
any sort of propulsion or whatever♫

[bizango]

Without a skirt but not unwilling to try again. Maybe if you put a chain on it before it floats away...

ah~
i have a bOOk Of angels~

Which you hope doesn't make you sound too strange. It was previously useful to you to know a lot about the occult...

[soundtricks]

why the fuck do you have a book about those creepy things♫
though I guess if you have it
I dunno, those things are supposed to have wings or something, right?
maybe you can make yourself a shirt with wings

[bizango]

i used tO hunt ghOsts~
befOre this~
sO i~
wanted tO knOw a lOt abOut~
that kind Of thing~
and it was Cheap~
a shirt with wings wOuld be niCe~i think~

[soundtricks]

how the hell do you 'hunt' ghosts♫
and what's even the point♫
it's not like you can kill 'em twice, or eat 'em or anything

yeah, it might be
let me know how that goes for you

[bizango]

ah~i guess maybe~
find~
is a better wOrd~
we alsO matbw tried tO exOrCise them~
when it was pOssible~
beCause it was fun~
she wanted a ghOst related~
reality shOw~
eventually~

[soundtricks]

...you realize reality show stars never last more than a season, right♫
not unless they're highbloods

[bizango]

...

it dOesn't really matter~
anymOre~dOes it~

[soundtricks]

mmm, guess not
a lot of things don't, though

[bizango]

yes~that's right~
i was Only maybe answering yOur questiOn~
sOrry~

[soundtricks]

nah, you've got a point
I don't really know how to stop before my mouth says shit it shouldn't though

[bizango]

ah~
i think sOmetimes it helps~
tO sit baCk and maybe breathe fOr a mOment~
if yOu're getting angry Or~
having sOme Other emOtiOn~
that yOu dOn't want~
in my experienCe~

[soundtricks]

nah, I'm good at being angry
that part's easy
it's the parts where I say things that make people feel bad I got trouble with
don't always mean to, but sometimes it just happens

[bizango]

well~
i think even then~
maybe sitting baCk and~
COnsidering the Other persOn~
helps~
espeCially if yOu really are trying~
nOt tO hurt anyOne~
and maybe if yOu dOn't mind me saying~
i think it's easier tO dO that~
when yOu're nOt angry~
alsO~
ahaha~
sOrry~yOu prObably dOn't want my adviCe~
ignOre this~~

[soundtricks]

it's not like I'm ~always~ angry, geez
I just don't like anyone acting like I have to treat 'em like they're special all the time
no one's got time for that in the real world


eh
I don't mind, I guess

[bizango]

ah~sOrry~that maybe wasn't what i meant~
ahaha~
but i think maybe~
everyOne is speCial~
when there's Only thirty Of us left~
and we're playing a game tOgether~

Which is not precisely real world circumstances at all... as far as you can tell.

[soundtricks]

I'm still not going to give anyone special treatment cause of that
they can suck it up

[bizango]

Oh~well~
then i guess that's maybe fine tOO~

It's likely best to let her do what she do. You're unlikely to change her mind by the looks of things. You've probably already questioned her too much when it's not your place anyway.

[soundtricks]

you wouldn't change the way you act for some jerks you never met before, would you♫

It's an honest question, because really, you're starting to wonder about the entirety of trollkind.
