Mun's getting the itch for a Terry again, but muse is overloaded

[girlfriend_beyond]

I'd love to see him, too, but don't you think you've heaped enough on my plate already? Testing with GLaDOS, training with whoever will take me, not to mention that plot with Jaime... I'd be the one without enough time and energy for couple stuff, and that's if you don't have me backstab him right away.

If all you want a Terry for is to torture him, then I don't want to see him in Nautilus. He's better off in Gotham.

... Okay, wait, back up to the point where you could backstab him? Because that really doesn't sound like you.

[girlfriend_beyond]

It won't be me, not really. It'll be a Reach-controlled me. My mun's dead-set on that happening, and if Terry turns up while I'm like that, I wouldn't waste any time getting him controlled by the Reach, too.

quietly switching up journals sorry!

[forwardcompatible]

Well, that sounds really unpleasant for you and Ter. Typical of muns, but ouch. Who's GLaDOS?

[girlfriend_beyond]

Yeah. Which is why I don't want Terr to show up in the middle of it. Let it just happen to me.

GLaDOS is an AI and... she's kinda evil. Or at least amoral. But if anyone can design a good training course, she can. I don't think she'll kill me, and even if she does, I'll just be back in a week.

[forwardcompatible]

You don't have to so self sacrificing either, you know, I'm pretty sure Terry would still want to be there.

... Training course for what?

[girlfriend_beyond]

...he probably would. And if it weren't for the Reach stuff, he'd be great to have, for so many reasons, but...

Training so that next time Terr's work catches up with me, I won't be dead weight he has to babysit.

[forwardcompatible]

You're not going to have a lot of say in it either way, in the end. My suggestion? Just go with it and be happy when you can.

Terry's work's been catching up to you? [ beaaaat ] Since when do you even know about it?

[girlfriend_beyond]

Usually the school in general, but still, close enough.

I've known about it since a reality storm in my game sent me ten years ahead to when I was helping him, and when it was over, enough hints had been left behind for me to piece together what I'd been doing and why.

[forwardcompatible]

That sounds really complicated and -

Are you okay? It doesn't really sound like things are okay where you are.

[tenofhearts]

Don't do anything I wouldn't.

[girlfriend_beyond]

Think I will end up doing things you can't do. Unless you can enslave men with a kiss.

[tenofhearts]

Depends.

Are we talking literally or hyperbolically?

[girlfriend_beyond]

Literally.

[tenofhearts]

[Oh]

Yeah, that was always a little outside our realm of abilities.

Still, could be worse.

[girlfriend_beyond]

[Sarcastically:] Yeah, the Scarab might get the bright idea to infect the city we live in with the nanites.

[tenofhearts]

That would be pretty bad, yeah.

This is why I prefer staying under the radar these days. There's only so much that can happen to me.

[girlfriend_beyond]

Nautilus is the sort of place where if you stay under the radar too long, you get thrust into the spotlight.

[tenofhearts]

Maybe you just weren't far down enough.

Does this sort of thing happen to everyone there?

[mother_nature]

Feh! Who needs men around all the time anyway?

[girlfriend_beyond]

Actually, normally I'd look forward to having him around all the time.

[mirai_batman]

-.- I get enough abuse from the old man, do you really need to make my girlfriend do the same thing?

[girlfriend_beyond]

Sorry, Terr. Though I'd hope the old man wouldn't do what I'd do under the Reach's control.
