DiscoDude: ---BEGIN SESSION---
DiscoDude: Session logging commenced
Ryusui: (shit's about to get real, folks)
Ryusui: (say what you want and then this party's going to get hot)
Reality Glitch: ((I already have. With out-of-character confirmation that I've already convinced Casper to not destroy the Notes the first until after I'm out of here, Selene's response to my argument against here using the Note is the crucial step to seeing if we truly need intervention.))
Sanchez: "...So how about that coffee?"
Reality Glitch: I stifle a laugh from the tension breaker; though, I doubt it'll do anything to sway <@!Kingfisher>. Instead, I look to <@!Selene> for a reaction.
Selene: "Don't you dare speak to me about what the Brambillas are! I know far too well the consequences of the purge carried on us, If i ever dare resurface from the underground I would be dead meat in mere weeks !" She yells at him quite angrily.
"This is the only way."
Ryusui: ( <@!Kingfisher>, anything to say? It's almost time. )
Reality Glitch: I say softly, "It doesn't have to be."
Kingfisher: "... Then rest, and join your family now." He pulls the trigger.
Ryusui: A gunshot does ring out.
Ryusui: But it's not Selene who crumples.
Kingfisher: (Wait, did the door open without us noticing?)
Kingfisher: (Are you seriously doing this again?!)
Ryusui: (there was never a physical door; the corridor opened straight up into the chamber)
Kingfisher: (Okay, but still! No defense?)
Kingfisher: (The one getting shot can't even roll?)
Reality Glitch: ((Wasn't <@!Selene> going to use a stunt?))
Ryusui: (someone else used a stunt, and for the record, it's not any of you getting shot)
Ryusui: (i mean)
Kingfisher: (Can I spend a FATE point to notice and re-aim to attack them first?)
Ryusui: (are you really going to kill my dramatic moment because you really want to shoot Selene)
Ryusui: (moreover)
Kingfisher: (No, I want to shoot the BBEG.)
Ryusui: (are you really going to kill two of my gaming sessions in a row)
Ryusui: (i don't get a chance to have the villain show up in dramatic fashion?)
Ryusui: (you gave me the perfect entry point for her)
Ryusui: (i was totally going to have her do this at the tensest possible moment)
Kingfisher: (Kingfisher kinda doesn't like letting people make dramatic openings.)
Ryusui: (you'll have ample opportunity to kill her once i've had a chance to say my piece here)
Ryusui: (jeez)
Kingfisher: (Alright; I just don't like the idea of Hazel getting axed without so much as a roll from anybody.)
Ryusui: (she ain't getting axed wtf)
Ryusui: (i said dramatic entrance)
Ryusui: (i mean after you put such a big deal down about how you trusted me even after last sesh)
Kingfisher: (I kinda assumed it was her getting shot, sorry.)
Ryusui: (hold your damn horses, plz)
Kingfisher: (Sorry, I'm being the stupid one here. Continue.)
Ryusui: (finally)
Ryusui: So, you all notice three things in quick succession.
Ryusui: First off: <@!Kingfisher>, you and Selene notice this more than Eli or Sanchez obviously, but your gun has suddenly jammed.
Ryusui: Second off.
Ryusui: Hazel drops to one knee, bleeding profusely from her leg.
Ryusui: And third off...
Ryusui: "I'm sorry, I just...had to interrupt. You all were making such a mockery of the proceedings."
Ryusui: <@!Sanchez>, you're the only one who recognizes the interloper. It's your "boss," Penny Farthing.
Sanchez: He looks and keeps quiet, a chill running down his spine. Shit, here comes the boss...I hope she doesn't notice me...
Kingfisher: (How far away we talking?)
Ryusui: (It's a big room. She's about 50 feet away.)
Kingfisher: Kingfisher pulls a secondary pistol and shoots her.
Kingfisher: !f 4 (Shoot)
DiscoDude: <@Kingfisher> rolled 4dF+4 for 5 [4dF = [+][ ][+][-]]
Ryusui: (spending a FATE Point to invoke [Modern Technology is So Unreliable!])
Ryusui: It jams, too.
Kingfisher: He throws it.
Ryusui: (for whatever it's worth she can only do this two more times; she gets four FATE Points on account of four PCs)
Kingfisher: !f 4 (Shoot)
DiscoDude: <@Kingfisher> rolled 4dF+4 for 6 [4dF = [+][+][+][-]]
Kingfisher: (Does she defend against that?)
Ryusui: (throwing things shouldn't be Shoot, I think?)
Kingfisher: (It's a projectile.)
Reality Glitch: ((It does; it's a ranged attack.))
Ryusui: (fair enough)
Reality Glitch: ((Thrown Weapons generally use shoot.))
Ryusui: !f 5 (Mastermind, because she can see it coming from figuratively a mile away)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui> rolled 4dF+5 for 5 [4dF = [ ][ ][+][-]]
Ryusui: (ticking a Mild Consequence, then; "Disarmed")
Ryusui: Because you are that good, you knock Ms. Farthing's pistol out of her hand with your own.
Reality Glitch: ((Bonk on the head.))
Reality Glitch: ((Oh.))
Kingfisher: (Stats we're allowed to see on her, please?)
Ryusui: "Bravo. Bravo." She smiles and steps forward, clapping. "I do believe we're approaching the end of this game, aren't we?"
Ryusui: (she has two 2-stress boxes and three consequence slots)
Ryusui: "I do believe my wayward daughter has set up something of a puzzle for us, hasn't she? Or perhaps not." She smirks and snaps her fingers; the dome sparks, but the field remains intact. Hazel laughs: "Your power only affects modern technology, mother. Or have you gotten senile in your old age?" She smirks and adds: "this magic is even older than you are, though I'd wager not by much."
Selene: (uh, jsut to be clear, Selene isn't laying on the ground dead due to a boolet, right?)
Ryusui: (no, Farthing has the power to make modern technology malfunction)
Ryusui: (and yes i'm aware the principle behind guns is hardly "modern" but Kingfisher's gun is a fairly modern make)
Ryusui: (her power might not work against an old-timey period TV set but it'd definitely cause a "modern" CRT to short out)
Kingfisher: (Permission to close the distance and attack again with Fight while they're grandstanding?)
Reality Glitch: "What's going on here?" I shout with great confusion.
Ryusui: (Anyone who wants to get close enough to her to attack is going to need to succeed on an Athletics roll. She's got distance.)
Selene: Selene is both offended and slightly shocked about Kingfisher just shooting her that it takes her a moment to realize what is going on and who the knew contender is.
Kingfisher: (Throwing knives, then.)
Selene: "Wha- huh?! How did YOU get here?!"
Ryusui: (i'll let you roll but lemme say one more line first)
Ryusui: "You lot. I have a deal to offer you," Ms. Farthing announces. "Whoever can get my daughter to surrender the notes will be allowed to do whatever they want with them...as soon as I'm finished using them myself."
Kingfisher: !f 4 (Shoot)
DiscoDude: <@Kingfisher> rolled 4dF+4 for 1 [4dF = [-][-][ ][-]]
Ryusui: !f 5 (Mastermind)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui> rolled 4dF+5 for 4 [4dF = [-][ ][-][+]]
Ryusui: (got a response?)
Kingfisher: (Is there a SWS on defense?)
Reality Glitch: ((Boost.))
Kingfisher: (Shit... Thinking...)
Kingfisher: (I spend the invoke on [Disarmed] and a FATE point on [Combat Pragmatist].)
Kingfisher: (I forget, do I still have the bonus FATE from last session?)
Ryusui: (i can't remember)
Reality Glitch: I cautiously backstep towards the pedestal the time prism is atop. Once over there I try to speak to Hazel Holiday without being heard by her mother. "Idea: I take your mom up on the deal but use it before she gets a chance; that way she never gets that chance. How does that sound?"
Kingfisher: "Better idea; use the last resort now."
Reality Glitch: ((Hold up; <@!Kingfisher>.))
Reality Glitch: ((Wouldn't you need to at least succeed an Overcome roll with Awareness?))
Ryusui: "...Your friend has the right idea. You don't know what my mother plans to use those Notes for. An eternal turn of the century; a world of perfect comfort for her."
Kingfisher: (We're right next to you, man.)
Kingfisher: (Response, <@Ryusui>?)
Ryusui: (yeah, you're all gathered together around the time prism)
Reality Glitch: ((That could have been better conveyed.))
Reality Glitch: ((I was under the impression that the group was in the middle.))
Ryusui: (the time prism is in the middle)
Ryusui: (it's a big circular room with a silo in the middle, and the time prism atop an old disused missile)
Kingfisher: (For the record, I'm winning the roll, <@Ryusui>.)
Ryusui: (i know, by 1 shift, hang on)
Ryusui: (gonna mark off one of her 2-shift boxes)
Kingfisher: And he throws two knives as he says this.
Reality Glitch: ((I had thought the group was closer to the door, with Holiday projecting her voice.))
Ryusui: She grabs the first knife with viper-like reflexes. The second one grazes her thigh and embeds itself in the concrete. It's the first time you see her smile falter.
Kingfisher: (We're not; now cease speaking of this. We don't have time for Arguing Semantics.)
Kingfisher: Kingfisher is moving to close the distance as he does this.
Ryusui: (it'll be an Athletics roll, though FWIW she'll only be rolling her Soldier +2 against you)
Kingfisher: (I guess we're not in technical combat right now?)
Ryusui: (not any kind of formal combat i think, no)
Selene: "Like I would let HER take my chance!" Oh, Selene butted in too.
Reality Glitch: "I specifically added 'so she doesn't get a chance'."
Kingfisher: !f 3 (Athletics)
DiscoDude: <@Kingfisher> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [-][ ][ ][ ]]
Reality Glitch: "Is there at least a Good (+3) way to pop that bubble without scattering yourself across time as well?"
Ryusui: In the meantime, <@!Sanchez>, <@Reality Glitch>, <@!Selene>, Hazel is trying to crawl to the edge of the time prism. There's a fair bit of distance to go.
Ryusui: "That's the whole point in this bubble, remember?" she grunts. "A dead man's switch to keep the Notes out of the wrong hands."
Ryusui: !f 2 (Soldier)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui> rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [-][ ][+][ ]]
Ryusui: (it's a tie; you wanna push anything, <@!Kingfisher>?)
Sanchez: Sanchez keeps silent before talking, "Is there any way we could get you out of there safely?"
Reality Glitch: "It was nice to meet you; I hope we'll meet again."
Ryusui: (also <@!Selene> you said you wanted to get involved? 'cause again, it'll be an Athletics roll to catch her)
Kingfisher: (I don't actually have a second FATE point, that compel just replenished the one I already spent.)
Reality Glitch: I finally look up to make eye contact with Hazel.
Ryusui: Eli, she returns your gaze, and there's a wistful smile on her face.
Ryusui: "I really wish I could've helped all of you. But for now, there's only one thing I can do."
Ryusui: She looks back at the blood trail she's leaving behind, and at the end of it...the Notes.
Ryusui: ( <@!Kingfisher> then it's either a fail or a success at a small cost)
Kingfisher: (I get to her, but she acts first?)
Ryusui: (I'm gonna say she inflicts a little automatic damage.)
Selene: (OH crAP, Selene has no Athletics roll though)
Ryusui: <@!Kingfisher>, you close the distance, but she's got quick reflexes: she chucks the knife she caught at you and it grazes your shoulder. (1 shift)
Ryusui: ( <@!Selene>, don't forget, you still have shoot and she's not paying attention to you...)
Reality Glitch: ((Not a fit girl, I take it?))
Ryusui: (Hazel? She's been shot in the leg. Farthing? She's superhuman.)
Selene: ((I AINT GOT SHOOT EITHER :panic: ))
Ryusui: (oh whoop i thought you did)
Reality Glitch: ((Selene.))
Selene: ((And no, she is a mafia boss not a "eh mah papa can do whatevert im gonna do jumping puzzles parkour"))
Kingfisher: (I'm literally the only one good in a straight fight. XD)
Reality Glitch: ((Not true.))
Reality Glitch: ((Is it safe to assume the gonzometer's at level 3?))
Ryusui: (not right now)
Ryusui: (Farthing's stunt is level 1, just an FYI)
Reality Glitch: ((Really? But we're in the presence of a Methusala figment.))
Ryusui: (it's inside the Time Prism!)
Kingfisher: (We're in the presence of a Time Prism, then.)
Reality Glitch: ((Which itself would seem to at least make things level 2.))
Ryusui: <@!Kingfisher> "You're playing for the wrong side, you know. Look at yourself! You don't belong in this wretched excuse for a 'modern' world! You should be living in days of fire and glory, conquering your foes on the battlefield! I can give you a world a man of your skills can sink your teeth into! Imagine! The trenches can be yours forever!"
Ryusui: (...i'll concede that, <@Reality Glitch>)
Ryusui: (what did you have in mind)
Ryusui: ( also <@!Sanchez> are you gonna do anything? XD)
Kingfisher: !f 5 (Fight)
DiscoDude: <@Kingfisher> rolled 4dF+5 for 4 [4dF = [ ][-][ ][ ]]
Ryusui: !f 2 (Soldier)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui> rolled 4dF+2 for 1 [4dF = [ ][-][+][-]]
Reality Glitch: ((Level two stunt is "Attack with Knowledge +2 instead of shoot."))
Sanchez: (Sanchez is kinda scared pissless seeing their old boss being so powerful.)
Ryusui: (yeah she's taking her Moderate XD)
Ryusui: ([Bruised and Bloody])
Kingfisher: "Trenches are inefficient and cause needless suffering. Guerrilla is superior."
Ryusui: You have no idea what Farthing really is but she certainly feels like ordinary flesh and blood under your fists. A gutpunch followed by a solid sock to the face leaves her reeling.
Reality Glitch: "'Nam? Wait! No! Now's not the time for Devil's Advocate."
Ryusui: "Knighthood, then? You'd prefer an age of chivalry, perhaps?" She sneers, trying to right herself.
Kingfisher: (Just showcasing that he doesn't need high-and-mighty morals to say "fuck your reasoning.")
Reality Glitch: ((My turn to roll?))
Ryusui: (...why not XD)
Reality Glitch: "FUS RO DAH!"
Reality Glitch: !7
Reality Glitch: !f 7
DiscoDude: <@Reality Glitch> rolled 4dF+7 for 8 [4dF = [ ][+][+][-]]
Ryusui: !f 2
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui> rolled 4dF+2 for 1 [4dF = [-][ ][+][-]]
Ryusui: She
Reality Glitch: ((Seven shift.))
Ryusui: really has no response for the force of a frickin' dragon shout leveled at her.
Ryusui: She's sent flying into the wall by the sheer force of impact.
Reality Glitch: ((Severe consequence on one stress box fully absorbs it.))
Ryusui: There's a satisfying, crunchy noise of multiple bones breaking, and she slumps to the floor in a heap.
Ryusui: She's still staring at you all, a mad gleam in her eye, a twisted grin on her face.
Ryusui: "This...is only the beginning, I promise you. I'll make you all pay. Every single one. I won't just unwrite you from history, oh no. I'll turn each and every one of your timelines into your own personal, inescapable hell."
Kingfisher: (She "down," or still fighting?)
Ryusui: (sassing more than anything)
Kingfisher: Kingfisher keeps running at her, taking out his rifle.
Kingfisher: !f (Fight)
DiscoDude: <@Kingfisher> rolled 4dF for 1 [4dF = [-][ ][+][+]]
Ryusui: (and...last FATE Point)
Reality Glitch: "Bold of you to assume this is a fail-state for us."
Kingfisher: (Made you waste it. XD)
Ryusui: Ka-click. The rifle jams.
Kingfisher: (It was Fight.)
Selene: "...Try, I am already living mine." You did nothing, Selene- oh wait, she won't let that sink in, she still has some boss inside her i suppose.
Ryusui: <@!Selene>, <@Reality Glitch>, <@!Sanchez>, you're all still standing by the Time Prism, so you're the first to notice what's happening.
Ryusui: The field is starting to pulse.
Kingfisher: (The roll goes through, since I never intended to Shoot.)
Ryusui: (yeah, hang on)
Reality Glitch: ((What's their Fight ranked at?))
Ryusui: !f 2
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui> rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [ ][+][-][ ]]
Ryusui: (do you want to invoke anything)
Sanchez: "Uh, Hazel...? The thing is making a weird wave effect." Sanchez says, looking at the Prism.
Kingfisher: (Can I spend the free invoke on my gun's high concept via my stunt?)
Ryusui: (sure)
Ryusui: Hazel has reached the edge of the Prism. She's about to reach her hand outside.
Reality Glitch: "I suggest we try to clear the room; I have no idea what the blast radius is like on that thing." I then begin to book it to the exit.
Kingfisher: He has his rifle out, but in the moment Penny tries to focus on making it jam, she realizes too late that he's raised it as a club.
Sanchez: Sanchez reaches for Hazel's hand, "Hey! Not yet!" He yells back to the dragon.
Ryusui: (man)
Ryusui: (is it all right if I make the Time Prism explode at this precise moment)
Sanchez: (I'd be fine >w>)
Reality Glitch: ((Why not?))
Ryusui: (because that pose with Kingfisher with his rifle raised over Farthing's head is pretty badass to go out on)
Kingfisher: (Sure. I actually like Penny as a villain.)
Ryusui: There's an echo of shattering glass all around you.
Ryusui: The world goes pink...
Ryusui: ...and then, white.
Sanchez: "...shit."
Kingfisher: (Only sorry that I couldn't specifically contrive that bloody rifle-club face-smash Joseph Joestar did.)
Ryusui: And all of you have the faintest sense of pages flying past, into the unknown.
Kingfisher: (Where he swings it behind him and stuff.)
Ryusui: The next thing you all know...
Ryusui: ...you're seated at a diner. The scenery is familiar; it's a little place in East Pomodoro. Praxy's, you think it's called?
Ryusui: A bright pink cat with the name "Rosa" on a badge approaches the table. "Are you folks ready to order? I can recommend our shawarma sandwiches!"
Selene: "...Right, Whateve- shit." it takes a few blinks to notice what's happening, huh, since when did she get here?
Reality Glitch: I sit there; eye as wide as dinner plates in fear of having just skipped the intervening time with no memory of it.
Kingfisher: (This better be a reference and not a direct crossover. XD)
Reality Glitch: ((With what?))
Kingfisher: (Never mind.)
Ryusui: (it's a reference XD)
Reality Glitch: ((To?))
Ryusui: (an in-joke from the first campaigns i ran with these folks)
Sanchez: He blinks, and looks around, looking at the waiter, then back at the menu. "Yeah can I get uhhh...A Gyro Wrap?" He asks. "And a large coke?"
Reality Glitch: ((Rolling Knowledge to Create an Advantage, placing Retrocognitive Uplink on myself.))
Reality Glitch: !f k
DiscoDude: <@Reality Glitch> rolled 4dF for 2 [4dF = [+][+][ ][ ]]
Reality Glitch: (Plus 5 makes 7.))
Ryusui: (what are you doing, Eli?)
Reality Glitch: ((Did you read the post I made immediately prior to the roll declaration?))
Kingfisher: Kingfisher definitely felt something in that jump. He couldn't quite remember whether he finished off Penny or not, but... he was definitely at least semi lucid for the... 'time' leading up to them sitting here. Or, wait... it didn't exist? He'll need to mull this over.
Sanchez: "Hey when did I have so much money?" Sanchez asks, pulling through his wallet to find himself stacked.
Ryusui: "Ugh," someone from the next seat over mutters. The pages of his newspaper ruffle as he turns them. "Will they ever shut up about that incompetent moron." "Honey, it's just politics," the man's wife says. "No need to get so worked up over it." "I swear, there is no way a man like Ronald Bridge could win an election without some kind of chicanery. The man can barely wipe his own ass! Look at him! Strutting around with that damn piece of paper in his pocket all the time!"
Ryusui: You can hear him tapping a photo in the paper as he says this.
Kingfisher: (XD)
Sanchez: Sanchez blinks, "Whoa wait hold on. Turn back the clock." He stands up. "...Who am I?"
Reality Glitch: ((I at least get my memories back; right?))
Selene: "U-ugh, my head is splitting apart, where are w- huh?" She tries to sneak a bit closer to have a look at the photo, this is weird but she is fairly confident she can do it...maybe she drank something very bad last night...
Ryusui: (Nobody lost their memories, just FYI)
Ryusui: (though your recollections might be a little confused as your minds sync back up with the adjusted timeline)
Reality Glitch: ((The uplink would support both, though.))
Kingfisher: (Oh my god; we're going to have to deal with Vladimir again, aren't we? XD)
Ryusui: (can you just explain to me what the hell you were gunning for with that roll, <@Reality Glitch> )
Selene: (yes)
Ryusui: (i can't respond if i can't understand the damn action)
Ryusui: <@!Selene>: The photo depicts a rotund naked mole rat in an obvious toupee giving the classic Nixon double-V salute. The headline reads "BRIDGE WINS PRIMARIES." You know this guy; he's a businessman even the mob won't deal with, a self-aggrandizing dumbass who apparently moved into politics when he couldn't pretend like his business deals were turning a profit anymore.
Ryusui: And yes, just as the man said, there's a piece of parchment carelessly jammed into the front pocket of his cheap suit.
Selene: I shall assume Selene can't recognize it, if it is of any importance?
Ryusui: It's certainly incongruous but you can't be sure what it is. (Eli could though...)
Reality Glitch: ((My assumption was that we were jumped forward in time in the sense that I was still present for the intervening time, but with no recollection of it (a la the Crimson King reference). In light of the fact that I've been jaunted to an alternate timeline instead would imply that I (the player) would get to have some say in what that time was. (in which case I would like to say that it is a past that no version of me had traveled back to, so there's nothing but the singular continuity that was physically transported again.)))
Ryusui: (You've been bumped sideways. It's the same date - which you can confirm if you look at the newspaper - but I'll tell you that you can detect that history has been subtly altered, in a myriad of tiny different ways. Ways the approximate size and shape of pieces of parchment paper.)
Sanchez: Sanchez quietly goes through some papers and finds out he's a filthy rich detective by pulling out his own business card from his wallet. "Wow...I'm filthy rich." He sits back down. "That blows."
Ryusui: (phone?)
Sanchez: (Oh, right)
Ryusui: (you don't have a cellphone; it's the '80s, remember?)
Reality Glitch: I come back out of my recollection attempt at least knowing there was now mised time, but rather, I've been yanked around the time stream once again by the--"Merlin's Notes!" I blurt out before slapping one hand over my mouth.
Sanchez: (Time period...)
Ryusui: Oh my. <@!Selene>, Eli's outburst just gave you a thought about that piece of paper in the picture.
Selene: "...Oh, Cazzo! No way those are...!" She shuts herself up, and sneaks back to try and shut Eli up too.
Reality Glitch: With a quick look around to get my barrings, I get another Good( (+3) look at Sanchez, causing me to give a scream as I tumble out of the booth; fortunately, I was able to abort the cry enough so as to appear to be due to me landing on my tail .... at least to anyone other than the trio I'm been blasted through time along side.
Reality Glitch: "Ow!"
Reality Glitch: I stand up rubbing the now sore base of my tail where I collided with the floor of the dinner, before sliding back in, eyes shut, unaware of any attention I just drew to myself and/or the others.
Sanchez: Sanchez looked down, "Why are you so afraid of me?" He says, staring down at them.
Reality Glitch: "Pathological Arachnophobia. I have no intention of that stopping me from treating you like a person."
Reality Glitch: "I deeply apologize for the autonomic response."
Ryusui: (is anyone going to look at the photo besides Selene)
Ryusui: (or is Selene going to draw anyone's attention to the photo)
Sanchez: He folds his arms, "Well...If you can't control it I guess it's fine." Sanchez looks down at the photo that Selene has.
Selene: (The latter :V)
Reality Glitch: "Anyway;" turn my face close-eyed face towards Selene, "It sounds like you found something important."
Selene: With the info of the photo, she tries to gather...this people, still scrambling to remember who the spider was.
Whispering, she explains. "I don't know what happened, but I think I found the Merlin notes...In the hands of some Idiot, of all things! A mole named Bridge."
Kingfisher: "Priority target, then."
Ryusui: <@Reality Glitch>, if you take a look at the photo...it's definitely not the entire notes but he does have, in his pocket, carelessly crumpled like a handkerchief, one whole page of Merlin's Notes.
Reality Glitch: I sneak a peek in the direction Selene was looking, and sure enough, that's what it appears to be. "Guess we know our next move then."
Kingfisher: "Question; we appear to have moved sideways in time. I... think, anyways. Is your quest to return to the future still feasible?" He turns and points to <@!Selene>. "What happened to your family this time?" He turns and points to <@!Sanchez>, but lets his finger drop. "You... had no conflict with me. Never mind."
Kingfisher: (Really hoping that we can at least somewhat mitigate the conflict of interest.)
Ryusui: Your memories are all trying to realign with the new timeline. You know how things went originally; but how things have happened now is...uncertain.
Ryusui: <@Reality Glitch>, your magical memory shenanigans only do so much to help; it's rather like trying to navigate a map with a bunch of little holes in it. You can only surmise that those holes are the influence of the Notes - dozens of subtle alterations which are starting to have a ripple effect.
Selene: Selene gives Kingfisher the kind of look someone with a migraine has "I... I... Am not sure? I need some... time to think..."
Sanchez: Sanchez waves at Kingfisher, "Yea, I'm just a freshie."
Reality Glitch: I turn to look at Kingfisher "All I can say is that I'm no more from the part of time than the one I was in previously. It's equally likely that this obliterated my chances as it is that it's helped ensure them; I can't know for sure without the Notes."
Ryusui: (Last lines, <@&543250225570119681>?)
Sanchez: ( nothing from me )
Selene: "Not even an hour in and I'm hating this..."
Reality Glitch: ((<@!Kingfisher>?))
Kingfisher: "Then it remains to be seen if you are no longer my enemies."
Reality Glitch: "I'd say 'We have no time to lose.', but that ships already sailed." I stand up from the table, "Let's get moving."
Reality Glitch: !end
