Aria was about to fall asleep when she suddenly sat up.

[color=e3bbc6]”Oh! I’m sorry. The current situation has me on the edge of my seat, and I can’t [i]wait[/i] to see where everyone decides to hold the meeting! It feels like it’ll be months before this is all over and my little heart just can’t take the drama.”[/color] It wasn’t clear how Aria was getting her intel, but surely someone could message her about what was going on. Her phone was in her lap, and Binky was a trusted friend of hers. [color=e3bbc6]”But before you go to sleep, Summer, that isn’t [i]really[/i] how you feel is it?”[/color] She folded her hands together. [color=e3bbc6]”I mean, your condition is related to your specialization. I would think using a red coin, getting a wish, or any other such tool could be used to remedy that with ease. Everyone likes to hate on Penrose because of how violent it can be, but I find it hard to want for anything. If you’re unhappy about anything, you can change it with nary a thought.”[/color]

This was one of the few times the smiling gourd member pursed her lips. [color=e3bbc6]”Though it is difficult to be unique in Penrose, or even effective. Just a few hours ago I told Binky that Mariette had made a coin specialist just like her by using a red coin. Can you believe it? Imagine all of the studying and hardships that she had to endure, and someone else got access to that knowledge for free. Poof! They just used a red coin and acquired the knowledge. Initially she felt cheated by this, but do you know what she told me afterwards?”[/color] a grin crept onto Aria’s face. [color=e3bbc6]”She said that was fine. She knew the coin maker wouldn’t be able to make anything significant because they hadn’t suffered like she had. It was enduring all that pain and all those setbacks that gave her the drive to see her dream to the end. Sure enough, I haven’t seen any coins appear anywhere.”[/color] She pointed at Summer. [color=e3bbc6]”Your situation isn’t all that different. ‘Copycats’ aside, the effort the lot of you put forth is the [i]only[/i] reason Kain is here now. Penny wasn’t going to save him, neither was Beacon, Mint, Cradle, or even me. Maybe you didn’t shape the stars, but you did get a small victory for yourself. If it matters to you, the struggles you endeared in your little ‘side plot’ was a hell of a lot more interesting than…”[/color] Aria waved her hand at the TV. [color=e3bbc6]”Whatever the [i]fuck[/i] this is suppose to be.”[/color]   

Maybe Summer decided to continue laying down, maybe she had something else to say. Aria wasn’t going anywhere. Or was she? [color=e3bbc6]”It’s so out of character for me to give pep talks. What are the lot of you doing to me?”[/color] With a sigh, she folded her arms. [color=e3bbc6]”Anyway! Who wants to see if we can track down Miss ‘All A stat’ Mac? I think there may be some clues where that relic exploded!”[/color]
