and that she'd been totally alive the whole time and was just being held somewhere else as a prisoner.

hoshinya.

@piraguas

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:46 PM

holy crap

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:47 PM

I spent nine months talking about what an effect her death had on Robin and she nodded and smiled and totally went with it.

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:47 PM

NINE MONTHS.

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:48 PM

what I'm trying to say is

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:48 PM

don't trust Red.

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:49 PM

ALWAYS QUESTION WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE DRIFT FLEET.

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:49 PM

ALWAYS BE SUSPICIOUS.

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:50 PM

because she never lies about anything but she'll totally let you go assuming something for a year and a half before revealing that it's been some other thing this whole time.

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:52 PM

and she's running 80% of the world plot.

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:52 PM

@endlessthyme

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:53 PM

I feel so safe now

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:55 PM

(actually it may have been closer to six months but... still)

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:55 PM

I lived with her and never once guessed

@blahblahRen

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:55 PM

omfg that's so impressive

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:55 PM

she'd been playing me the whole time...

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:55 PM

SHE DOES THIS ON THE REGULAR

@blahblahRen

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:56 PM

I would have loved to see your reaction to the reveal omfg

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:56 PM

it was

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:56 PM

"SHE'S WHAT"

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:56 PM

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:56 PM

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME"

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:56 PM

I think Robin's reaction was to slam his head down on the floor where he was sitting

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:56 PM

and scream

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:57 PM

"aaaaaAAAUGH THIS WHOLE TIME!?"

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:57 PM

dude pretty sure it was more like nine months

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:57 PM

IT WAS A LONG TIME...

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:57 PM

from robin getting shot in the head to finally introducing Irahl as a concept and finally catching him and finally talking to him

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:57 PM

also remember those twenty minutes you let me think you killed off Saeliss

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:57 PM

like I think I was close to crying or something

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:57 PM

I really bought it

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:57 PM

I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT LONGEr

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:58 PM

but you couldnt handle it ghfdkj

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:58 PM

I must have looked so upset

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:58 PM

YOU LOOKED SO

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:58 PM

DEEPLY BETRAYED

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:58 PM

I'm like HOLY SHIT SAELISS IS HORRIBLE BUT

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:58 PM

SHE DIDN'T DESERVE TO HAVE HER HEAD BLOWN OFF

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:58 PM

like, it was the worst thing I'd ever done to you

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:58 PM

I was into the ship just then and everything

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:58 PM

deeply betrayed

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:58 PM

WE HAD JUST SPENT SEVERAL MONTHS SETTING UP THAT SHIP

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:58 PM

and you were like

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:58 PM

but we were just

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:58 PM

starting to ship

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:58 PM

how could you let me....

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:59 PM

I ALSO SNEAKILY INTRODUCED NEL AS AN NPC

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:59 PM

oh, guess I did that with Irahl too

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:59 PM

I didn't want your knowledge of them as main characters to get in the way

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 4:59 PM

and they're both supposed to be overlooked because of their station in life... so it was so legit...

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:00 PM

I wanted it authentic

@blahblahRen

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:00 PM

you are my hero

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:00 PM

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:00 PM

Red is a mastermind

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:00 PM

she's a monster

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:00 PM

a wonderful, crafty monster.

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:00 PM

and I'm really bad at predicting plot twists so I'm just like !???

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:00 PM

!!!????!?!?

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:00 PM

BUT HOW COULD????

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:01 PM

lololol you even knew that I was introducing new characters

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:01 PM

so if y'all find out this has been an Inception-based game the whole time or something like that

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:01 PM

don't say I didn't warn you

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:01 PM

and then the little NPC skank on Robin's lap switched over to a real journal

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:01 PM

I WAS... SO SURPRISED

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:01 PM

HAHA yeah don't trust me.

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:01 PM

please.

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:01 PM

SURPRISED AND UPSET

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:01 PM

I am the nice writer

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:02 PM

I am absolutely not.

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:02 PM

I write about how you can gather cactus and collect glowing fish

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:02 PM

she writes about how boy isn't it funny that you've never actually met any audience members and literally no one knows what you're talking about

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:02 PM

and I slip in little details that aren't going to have relevance until like a year down the line

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:02 PM

ha ha ha

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:03 PM

NOTHING IN THIS GAME'S WRITING IS AN ACCIDENT

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:03 PM

nothing is without a reason

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:03 PM

there is no game mechanic that doesn't serve some kind of narrative purpose.

@blahblahRen

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:03 PM

screams

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:03 PM

man you make us sound so cool

@blahblahRen

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:04 PM

well I mean you are pretty cool and the game is also really cool

@blahblahRen

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:04 PM

so that's fair

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:04 PM

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:04 PM

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:04 PM

THOUGH I GOT RED, ONCE...

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:04 PM

so I guess I'm not totally innocent...

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:05 PM

you have the capacity to be evil

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:05 PM

you just usually use your powers for good

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:05 PM

me on the other hand

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:05 PM

I like using my powers for good...

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:05 PM

my gender is villain

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:06 PM

Locke Neutral

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:06 PM

yeah I use my plot twists to strengthen the bonds between characters and you just use them to destroy people :>

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:06 PM

gkjfdhgkjh

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:07 PM

HEY! that destruction is also to bring people together

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:07 PM

I've always said

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:12 PM

I think I know about 80% of what Red knows

@endlessthyme

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:12 PM

You must... have an outline... somewhere?

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:12 PM

but there's this 20% issue

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:12 PM

ha ha ha so there is this thing

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:12 PM

that I do

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:12 PM

where I have this elaborate plan in my head that I am SURE I will never forget the details of

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:13 PM

and then I also forget that I have a really, really shitty memory

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:13 PM

so I don't write it down

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:13 PM

/cough future tek cough

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:13 PM

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:14 PM

--which is also where Diamond originally comes from

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:29 PM

with our powers combined it's actually kind of doable

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:30 PM

now I just wish I had time to play in it more...

@stick

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:31 PM

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:41 PM

Basically what I have derived from all this is that Red needs a diabolical mustache to twirl at appropriate times

@redpyre

Wed, Sep 23, 2015 5:52 PM

who says I don't have one already
