Er, I'm a girl. And I'm not sure why you just flipped things on me like that.

@Meta

Dude is gender-neutral where I come from. Also, from my "it's really dark because I'm tired" perspective, it looked like you just appeared out of nowhere. It's hard to let my guard down when that kind of thing happens, you see.

Where are we going to get the rest?

@Host

As soon as I can.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

*Looks at you sadly*
Yeah, I figured.

@Meta

Sorry, dude. Hey, although I'm not completely convinced that you're not a Twisted, do you think you could point us in the direction of the wisest old storyteller around here?

*Looks down*
I meant about the town.

@Host

Well, I now have an account of the general technological progress of this civilisation. It'll be better once the documents I sent to the tech analysts back at the Encyclopedia get back to me with how advanced they actually are. Now I need to find out who knows the most history—I have everything up to the collapse and no further.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

How does that work?

@Meta

One the one hand, I can accelerate natural change—change is about the most orderly that chaos can get. On the other hand, I can make disruptive things happen using a combination of reality-warping magic and other spells.

*Sighs*
What's the plan now?

@Host

To ask again, basically, but this time with a deliberately changed perspective on what's socially acceptable to do between friends?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

What's your ability, Soren?

@Meta

Organised chaos. And, occasionally, unorganised chaos.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

You're asking someone else to do something you yourself wouldn't do?

@Host

I mean... Yeah, I messed up there.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Not really my thing. Sorry about that Soren.

@Meta

I feel you; thanks anyway.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

But you just asked!

@Host

Maybe someone else will think that's totally appropriate to do between friends and then I'll be justified in asking and also possibly get what I want.

Eirene. Yours?

@Meta

Soren. Nice to meet you. Hey, could you punch me?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

That's not a cool thing to do.

@Host

I concede to the point. That's why I don't punch anybody, even if they ask for it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

You don't just punch someone!

@Host

I mean, I literally asked for it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

No!

@Host

*Looks at Eirene* Hey, what's your name?
