Please be realistic. My responsibilities lie with Val and the shop, and yours in your academics. Neither of us can afford to have our attentions diverted elsewhere.

Besides, you couldn't possibly send me somewhere. Not in good conscience! Jillas and Gravos — they'll protect him with their very lives. Of that I have no doubt. But they... They're... [ somewhat incompetent, if their scoreboard over the course of the series is any indication...

A-HEM. ]

In any case! I belong in the shop and you belong, well, wherever it is you are! This shouldn't even be up for debate. In fact, it isn't.

Well, your perspective is a bit skewed there~.

[aurous]

And your perspective on my perspective is just spot-on accurate!

[trollsdragons]

[He chuckles.]

You make it so easy to read, though!

[aurous]

Honesty is a respectable trait!

[trollsdragons]

It can be, but it can be quite boring at times as well~.

So - I'm curious. Does the mun have any places in mind yet?

[aurous]

I would choose boring over the complications born of dishonesty any day!

Absolutely none, and that had best not change.

[trollsdragons]

Of course you would~.

Even if that means leaving a close friend all alone? I can think of a pair of places where there's a Lina that could use some company...

[aurous]

As any sensible person would.

Mister Gourry isn't with her?

[trollsdragons]

I do believe he's quite dead in all instances - including the one a few threads down! These games are quite vicious about people that aren't there, it seems~.

Come to think of it, there's three I know of, but the third is a Lina that doesn't even know us yet, so I don't think she quite counts.

[aurous]

[ Leave it to Xellos to share his knowledge of different Linas like they were discussing racing horses or teas. ]

That's...incredibly unfortunate.

[trollsdragons]

[Well, for one, it's Xellos. For two, he's sharing headspace with one of them. He's earned the right to be blunt about it!]

It is - without him around, things are certainly far less entertaining.

[aurous]

[ Wow, Xellos! Totally the wrong reason here!! ]

I meant for Miss Lina. Not for you.

[ ... Wait. Does that mean...that at these games, she's 'dead', too?

8|a... ]

[trollsdragons]

Well, I do suppose it is, in a way...

[In one of them, at least! Sort of. Possibly. It could go either way, since the rules allow wiggle room.]

[aurous]

I wouldn't expect someone like you to understand.

[ She doesn't like the idea of being dead in different places. Especially if Xellos was still alive. How unfair! ]

These games she's in - how are their speeds? Not that I'm saying yes to anything - Val and the shop, you see.

[ Actually, she hopes he doesn't. ]

[trollsdragons]

[He just chuckles.]

Mm. The one below is a slower game, I believe. I've only just arrived there myself. It does require some alterations to setting, however. [He won't mention the fact of having been taken down some notches in strength, because he does have his pride.]

The others are of a medium pace. One has Miss Lina after we dealt with Dark Star - called to another reality to fight a war against reality-destroying creatures. The last has Miss Lina from before she met either of us, trapped in a tower of terrors.

[aurous]

[ Blood-thirsty face? DNW. ]

The-They don't sound very pleasant, do they? [ Yet a "tower of terrors" only conjures up the image of a tower with nothing but slugs and lettuce to eat--

Oops, she's not taking this seriously enough. Sorry, Lina. ]

Well, if there's any game to be in, it would be the slower one. [ Even if he's there. ]

[trollsdragons]

[Given the prospect of having the two people around whose cages he loved to rattle the most, can you blame him?]

Oh, the tower is quite a lovely place~. The reality-war isn't quite my cup of tea, but mun does enjoy it there. [Far too much hope and perseverance for Xellos' taste.]

The slower place is imperial_saga. Here is a directory of where one can get the proper information needed.

aw yeah dragons

[aurous]

[ Are you kidding? Filia can probably find a way to blame him for anything.

And what's that about cages? ]

... She's reading it. I'm not promising anything, though.

Re: aw yeah dragons

[trollsdragons]

[This is true, but then again, Xellos probably has a hand in enough things that her blame would work half the time.]

Ah, but it's not your call to make, now is it?

[aurous]

The call is as much mine as it is hers!

[trollsdragons]

I think you underestimate the influence of these Muns, Miss Filia~.

[aurous]

Or maybe you're just weaker in will than I thought.

[trollsdragons]

[Oh you just had to point out that it applied to him too, didn't you? Damned gold dragon, you know just how to get under his astrally-projected skin.

Do not lose composure. Damn it.]

Oh no, not at all! It just happens that going to that place was quite beneficial to me.

[aurous]

Oh? Now you're trying to excuse your lack of will by calling the game beneficial? How pitiful.

[trollsdragons]

I am excusing nothing, as the game is quite beneficial, being an entirely new place to stir things up within.
