the que2ion i2 when will i de2ide to read them, and in what order
oh okay, out2ide time, not 2ubjective time
why do you a2k?
carnivalsorphans
straight up just curious.
valencedichotomy
the building it2elf ha2 been around for a 2olid decade or 2o, but the mo2t re2ent renova2ion2 have been trickling in over the la2t 2weep mo2tly
valencedichotomy
the 2ell2 were all in the mo2t re2ent renova2ion
carnivalsorphans
oh, huh.
so what, it was just a hive first?
valencedichotomy
yeah
i got veliu2 to make a di2gui2e amulet that let2 me look any ag2e, 2o i've been 2ighted there on and off 2in2e I "hatc2hed"
carnivalsorphans
...... wait is it your actual legal hive?
so, technically, this has been in the works since before you broke us outta jail.... wow fuckin wild
valencedichotomy
no one in univer2e know2 I'm involved, and no one out of univer2e ha2 a22e22 to in-univer2e building record2
2o... yep, technically.
i knew about the hive then, but i hadnt been there yet.
carnivalsorphans
fuck, time travel is fuckin wild as shit
valencedichotomy
i havent gone through mo2t of the time loop2 required to build it yet, either.
carnivalsorphans
..... really?
huh!
valencedichotomy
the me you're talking to
but yeah
carnivalsorphans
so it would be a bad idea, speakin purely hypothetically, to kill this version of you right now
valencedichotomy
that will probably be over the nex2t 2ix2 month2 or 2o, a few hour2 a week
carnivalsorphans
oh, have you changed numbers since the last time you told me?
valencedichotomy
yeah, if i die unex2pectedly and 2tay dead, a lot of temporal loop2 2nap.
valencedichotomy
i don't ac2ually remember what the la2t number I told you wa2
carnivalsorphans
... i think it was either ten or eleven, i'd have ta look up to check
i could be wrong.
valencedichotomy
probably eleven, that2 what my page 2aid
carnivalsorphans
and are you still eleven?
or are we up to a fun new number
valencedichotomy
we're right around the border between 12 and 13 right now, 2o yeah. you're talking to 13 rn.
carnivalsorphans
hot
what two things were big enough to change em?
valencedichotomy
the 11/12 border wa2 the rebellion going down.
the 12/13, 2poiler2
carnivalsorphans
faaaair enough.
i'll remember that this time, or i'll try.
... may fuckin haps you should update your pages
valencedichotomy
did that earlier tonight ac2ually
carnivalsorphans
oh damn
valencedichotomy
hone2tly you'd be the only per2on to u2e the number2 2y2tem muc2h
it'2 kinda intere2ting to hear 2omeone el2e acknowledg2e it
thank2
carnivalsorphans
might as well keep it in mind, just in case.
;o)
valencedichotomy
Juryrigg'2 pretty alright, you were right
carnivalsorphans
see, i know what i'm about sometimes
valencedichotomy
2eem2 that way
carnivalsorphans
hey, if wicked wanted to let latere out, would you let him
valencedichotomy
i'd a2k him not to, and he'd 2top
carnivalsorphans
good.
.... i actually never thought that the power balance between you was actually like
even, like that
valencedichotomy
... i dont a2k him muc2h, or tell him what to do.
but, he tru2t2 me, and we've dealt with the horrorterror thing together.
carnivalsorphans
still, like. the fact that you do is a lil more than i expected
carnivalsorphans
honk
> No, bad Ringleader, stop being bristly about that.
valencedichotomy
and having tempting, rea22uring, dubiou2ly tru2tworthy influen2e2
carnivalsorphans
huh. good to hear.
i mean, i figured he'd probably listen to me too, but you're all linked up so you'd be the one more liable to talk at him bout it
... hey, you ever been mind controlled?
valencedichotomy
i mo2tly bitc2h and let him figure 2hit out. but, if he got tempted, he'd hear 2ome bitc2hing.
and that'2 u2ually all he need2.
carnivalsorphans
cute
valencedichotomy
and there'2 an in2tan2e of me watc2hing that 2ell 24/7.
2o
valencedichotomy
... all of the 2tuff that act2 like voi2e control2 i2 ju2t remote control2.
carnivalsorphans
hahahahahahahahahaha
brother you're a wonder sometimes
valencedichotomy
And latere'2 connec2ion goe2 to 2hit every time 2he trie2 to 2pill her coordinate2
carnivalsorphans
hilarious
how many times she done it?
valencedichotomy
$number (( I have no idea, but at least once ))
well, okay, i'm from a little ahead, but that'2 within a couple of the total number 2he'2 going to do
carnivalsorphans
.... damn, it woulda been interestin to bounce her from one place to another, so the coordinates'd be wrong, and then see who tries to show up
.... we could probably set it up ta bounce them somewhere else...
course, we only got two cells, and i doubt frownin at people is gonna make em just give up
carnivalsorphans
but fuck. interestin.
valencedichotomy
or feed her phone fal2e info about it2 loca2ion
carnivalsorphans
yeah
valencedichotomy
there'2 way2
carnivalsorphans
.... mind control, yes or no?
valencedichotomy
depend2 what you cla22ify a2 mind control, and what the ac2ual 2our2e of 2ome 2tuff i u2ed to do i2
barring weird 2hit, no.
carnivalsorphans
.... huh. you know how hard it'd be to mind control you?
valencedichotomy
why do you a2k?
carnivalsorphans
i got a serket messagin me about the security of the place 'outta curiosity' and it makes a motherfucker just a liiittle paranoid
carnivalsorphans
i doubt she gives enough of a fuck to actually do anythin, but it makes a motherfucker think, ya know?
valencedichotomy
latere gave her 2ome pretty de2ent bribe2 to look into it, but no formal agreement2 are in pla2e yet.
I'm keepin an eye on it.
carnivalsorphans
hahahahahahahaha
i'm tempted to say somethin just to spook her, now
valencedichotomy
I'd rather you didn't, ac2ually.
carnivalsorphans
how come?
valencedichotomy
In the branc2he2 where 2he make2 it far enough, I pa22 her a job offer.
carnivalsorphans
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
fuckin fair
carnivalsorphans
you mind keepin me updated? i'm curious now.
valencedichotomy
flat fee in caegar2 for a full copy of her plan2 and re2earc2h, +100% bonu2 if i think it will work, +400% if 2omething el2e
i'm 2till de2iding on the pay 2truc2ure, a2ide from what it ha2 to add up to if 2he give2 in.
carnivalsorphans
hot
.... still, mind control is a concern.
valencedichotomy
yeah, i'll keep you updated on her
carnivalsorphans
i'm assumin you'd tell me no if i wanted to prod just ta see
valencedichotomy
wicked could do it ju2t a2 ea2ily
ac2ually con2idering I live with vel I 2hould probably have wicked c2heck anyway2
carnivalsorphans
..... i'm actually kinda impressed you never thought a that
valencedichotomy
he'2 been really con2i2tant about how 2hit like that would be evil.
carnivalsorphans
that's fair.
... i just wanna see
i won't do nothin in there
you'd know if somethin bad happened
valencedichotomy
my pan'2 not that intere2ting, dude
carnivalsorphans
says you
everyone's pan is interestin
valencedichotomy
2orry, no.
carnivalsorphans
that's fair
carnivalsorphans
.... hey what happens if i take off these fuckin bracers
valencedichotomy
you re2ume turning into a trick2ter, but run out of energy before c2hanging all the way over
carnivalsorphans
.... horrifying
they've been botherin me
valencedichotomy
that'2 the trick2ter part
they itch becau2e they're working.
carnivalsorphans
ughhhh....
valencedichotomy
what'2 2he been a2king?
carnivalsorphans
if there's more than two cells, if there's anythin other than the cells in the building
how everythin even showed up....
valencedichotomy
It'2 intere2ting to watc2h her work
carnivalsorphans
a little bit about how your involvement even worked
ain't it?
valencedichotomy
I2 2he being 2ubtle, or ju2t going for it?
That'2 a lot
carnivalsorphans
she's.... uh. i dunno how subtle i'd call it
i could snatch the log for ya real quick
valencedichotomy
I'd be curiou2
carnivalsorphans
she said some stuff didn't mesh up without you bein involved and she says she was just curious but she seemed fussed

valencedichotomy
thank2
carnivalsorphans
i dunno that i'd call it subtle, but i'd call it coy
valencedichotomy
It i2
2he tried to di2tract you with the "clipping into the ground" joke
carnivalsorphans
can't believe she thought that'd work...
valencedichotomy
And 2he'2 right, if 2omeone cared why the 2ell wa2 where it wa2, it doe2n't make muc2h 2en2e without me being there.
But I don't think anyone el2e ha2 noti2ed or cared
No one el2e ha2 been looking
carnivalsorphans
the fact that she cares....
that's honestly the only reason i'm suspicious, she ain't the 'caring' type
