I'm not even going to try to dignify this with context.

[lockpick]

[Someone sounds uncharacteristically bad-tempered, today.]

Yeah, yeah. You're all real funny.

[...okay, it would be funnier if the joke wasn't on him. He's always been sort of defensive about getting motionsick. Namecalling is just insult to injury.]

Do I have to come knock some sense into you or something? I've still got things to do while you're busy messing around, y'know.

[Terra winces. Because her mun is laughing far too much at all of this.]

...Oh dear.

[lockpick]

[Terra help. :( You're on his side, right?]

This is getting ridiculous.

[temptsfate]

...what did you do before I joined?

[edgar_roni]

He stole and spied for me.

[Helpful.]

[temptsfate]

That's rather helpful of you. [A'yup.] So essentially he was a spy and thief.

[edgar_roni]

And mighty good at his job, too, might I add.

[temptsfate]

It's nice to see a man who's dedicated to his work.

[edgar_roni]

Some may call him a workaholic.

[lockpick]

[OKAY THAT'S THE LAST STRAW.]

That's treasure hunter-!

[temptsfate]

Treasure hunter my ass.

[ethereal_earth]

Locke, I... I didn't know you felt like that about him...

[She is, but her mun sure isn't. BRB DYING OF LAUGHTER.]

[2/2] I AM SO SORRY

[ethereal_earth]

...Wait. Is that what my name was changed to?

IT'S COOL I BLAME JESSA FOR EVERYTHING also 1/idk

[lockpick]

[...wait, she doesn't think-]

2/

[lockpick]

[Locke squawks in indignance and holds his hands up defensively.]

Woah, woah, you've got the wrong idea here-

3/3 DONE

[lockpick]

[...Oh, but she figured it out. Sharp as always, Terra, he knew he could count on you. He clears his throat.]

I guess it could have been worse?

Everything is beautiful right now.

[ethereal_earth]

Yes. It could have.

[She looks quite upset, all the same.]

Why must they do such things to us? I just don't understand.

[lockpick]

[Aw, don't be upset Terra. And then Locke stops being indignant for his own sake and worries about her instead.]

Hey, don't let 'em get to you. Could be worse, you could actually be Edgar.

[He grins to show he's joking, of course.]

1/2 I'm not sorry.

[biggs]

[AHAHA that guy is such an ass- OH woah hey what are you doing over here, you're supposed to be all hypno-crowned and stuff.]

There you are, witch! We've been looking all over for you.

[and_wedge]

Do you have any idea how much trouble we'd be in if you got lost?

[A lot, that's how much.]

Get over here!

Ohmigod where did you come from. I LOVE YOU.

[ethereal_earth]

[She looks scared for a moment - totally and completely vulnerable and terrified.

Then she draws her weapon. Sorry boys, this is endgame!Terra, and she's not gonna take your crap.]

Stay away from me!

Well, there was this Esper in Narshe and then everything got fuzzy for a while...

[biggs]

[Wait, that isn't supposed to happen.]

Hey, remember, you're not supposed to draw a weapon on your superiors. Come with us now or we'll-

...

You tell 'er, Wedge.

And then some weird circus with a guy in a mask...

[and_wedge]

Er... Or we'll...

[Uh. They weren't briefed on this. Wait, there's something definitely missing here.]

Hey, where'd your crown go?

And some weird guy named Pierre showed up too somewhere...

[ethereal_earth]

The crown is long gone, and you are no longer my superiors. I live for my friends, and for the children of Mobliz... and for myself!

[She begins chanting.]

1/2

[biggs]

[Oh crap. Neither one of them wants to find out firsthand just how fast she can fry a couple armored soldiers.]

[But they're prepared for such eventualities. Biggs looks to Wedge and gives him a brief, curt signal-]

2/2

[and_wedge]

[-Which consisted of a panicked look and a thumb pointed the opposite direction.]

Let's get outta heeeerreeeee!
