Fuck you, you Initiative bastards.

Do you honestly think that just saying 'sorry, someone hit the wrong button' is really going to cut it? You messed with our heads. Do you know what else messes with peoples' minds like you just did? Demons do. So care to explain to us how you may just differ? Because I see nothing in your defense.

[And the feed cuts....


for about ten minutes so she can stop yelling. She's still irked though, but let's try and keep this part civil.]

Is everyone else all right?

[He sighs.]

Being angry can still mean that you're okay. Anger is -- good, sometimes.

I just meant. Whatever you saw, you're -- dealing with it?

[uncalled_for]

No, it really doesn't. What I understood from that was you're used to it, so what's one more, there's nothing that can be done sitting right in front of me so I might as well look for some good in it. Am I wrong?

[fintastic]

You're halfway there, but I wouldn't say there's nothing that can be done! There's a lot that can be done, it's just a matter of what's going to get results! Has getting angry and yelling a lot gotten any results yet? I think not!

But being polite and cooperative has!

[uncalled_for]

So if I throw a fireball at every empty shop tonight because I'm angry, it will be acceptable because I'm angry?

[Deep breath] But yes, I'm dealing with it.

And by the way, that's the second time you've dodged my question. Or is that how you deal with things? Keeping them to yourself until someone corners you and figures things out?

[uncalled_for]

Becoming complacent about the matter helps how exactly?

And better than some, at least. And you?

[uncalled_for]

I'm very relieved to have your approval.

[What's that sound? Odear, it might be the sound of Fiona's jaw hitting the ground.]

... Thank me? That's not necessary.

[uncalled_for]

You'll have to remind me then, what exactly has it gotten us?

[fintastic]

They're going to try to put some horns for people into the VR! Because I asked nicely.

[ No, she doesn't care if that's not how the saying goes. ]

[woahwoahawkward]

[Okay, because he totally hasn't gotten the memo on filters -- he just talks really quietly toward his netbook.]

Yes, I was dodging the question. There was -- some business at Ostagar that I thought was done with the second time we had to kill the ogre there, but apparently not.

[uncalled_for]

Right. Never mind the fact that doing so was probably more beneficial for them.

[uncalled_for]

Third time. I asked how you were faring, not what happened. [Because if she remembers her history lesson correctly, she probably doesn't want to hear about this.]

[woahwoahawkward]

-- the implication was that I wasn't doing well as a result.

[uncalled_for]

[A short sigh]

I'm sorry then. They went into our memories and turned them against us in every possible way. The best thing to consider is that it isn't real. Not a single person or weapon or the ground you were standing on. They did it to mess with us and the moment you let something like that get to you is when you lose.

[And a little rage rolls back in~] Those bastards will break us into shadows of ourselves before they let us return home and away from their damned war. What better way to keep soldiers, right?

[fintastic]

How would horns be beneficial for the Initiative? They look really cool but they don't do much.

[uncalled_for]

Whatever. My point is that you asking for horns in this VR crap hinders nothing for them. So why would they argue against it?

[fintastic]

It's extra work for them, just for my amusement! Well, and so everyone else can look totally awesome, but still!

[woahwoahawkward]

Right, next they're going to be starving us because hungry soldiers fight better.

[He frowns.]

There's got to be a limit to what they can do to us.

[uncalled_for]

I'm not sure how you do it, but you're completely missing my point.

[fintastic]

I get your point. I'm disagreeing with it! If you keep having a bad attitude, everything's going to keep seeming like the worse thing ever, when it's really not.

[uncalled_for]

Haven't they already tried something similar to that?

[Snort.] And I doubt it. It's easier to shatter a person into obedience than it is to comply with their needs. If we fell in battle I wouldn't put it passed them to resurrect us. These bastards are certainly sick and twisted enough.

[There's a short pause.]

Just don't let it bother you, if you can.

[uncalled_for]

My attitude might not be the best, but at least I'm being realistic.

[woahwoahawkward]

[...right, because all those words were just completely reassuring there, mom Fiona.]

Working on it. I'll just hit myself over the head with something heavy until everything is a blissful dream.

[uncalled_for]

[She's new at this, okay? And she'll .... laugh a bit. Actually. Shocking, I know.]

At least it will help you sleep.

[woahwoahawkward]

Anora's snoring is enough to wake the dead...

[uncalled_for]

[Snortlaugh.]

You probably should have tried to whisper that one. I doubt she'll appreciate hearing that.
