I've a question, I know that hobbies and the like keep morale high but is there any way to raise sanity without therapy? Cea's sanity has become worryingly low after that last decrease.

They don't want to do it with Hermes. Trust me if Hermes was an option I would have been all over that by now.

Who knows though maybe we still have a chance to do it with Echidna. Kelda's still here. And if she ends up going on a rampage or something and crashes through the party then we have our opportunity and can kill 2 birds with 1 stone here by removing her from the situation and testing out room trap for the first time it's win-win. Just deal with the giant clockwork dragon attacking your party by trapping it in a room it's fine

This would put a 100 ft+ infectuous clockwork in the same room as our patrons though. I was also under the impression that this ability put the rest of the game on pause while it happened so unless we were to kill or cripple Kelda we'd be no better off.

Edit: We might be able to use our roomtrap on the lady or one of her guests.

> A bet you say? What'd be the stakes?

A friendly wager seems like a good way to get on Athena's good side. As long it's nothing like "We'll let you run the entire crew next game" or anything like that.

I'm not sure we'd gain anything from this. Helios or Athena would probably tell us the answer to whatever we could think of as long as it's not too personal and we could always check the Cosmodex. Only god this wouldn't work for is Apollo.


EDIT 2: I've got it! If we prove Athena wrong we should see if she'd be willing to direct one of her God Heads our way. We may not be able to directly make one but it shouldn't be too hard to find one if we can get their patron deity to direct them our way.

Athena will willingly put her godhead on our crew if she manages to make one and we let her stay our patron in the next run.

How about if we win Athena has to wear a silly hat?

[Image: chV1oYZ.gif]

I thought that was the point of buying Nero, so I could make them in to a godhead for you to use? I suppose I'm not required to lend you usage of my godhead if you don't allow me to play in the next game, so I suppose we could make that a deal if that's something you really want.

[Hmmm how about if you lose the bet, we don't get anything because friendship is its own reward? :>]

The reward of friendship if I lose? That would be just-



[Image: chV1oYZ.gif]

........ The reward of friendship, why are you highlighting that?



[Image: bou7seU.gif]
It's an important word. Also I haven't highlighted anything in a while.



[Image: chV1oYZ.gif]

Anyway! I'll take that deal too. Feel free to mull over what you really want and then come back to me. Now for what I get. If I win, you must pause the game, and then proceed to go outside. Once outside, in the non game word that is, I want you to take pictures! Of birds! Your birds! Then show them to me. I wish to view what your birds look like, real birds! If you could find an owl, that would be great, but all I require is any bird. I suppose you could cheat and grab pictures off the internet, I wouldn't be able to tell, but that is what I want! Like I said, mull it over, think about it, then come back to me.

Seconding.

Now, Athena said we could mull over what we want so lets do that. Even if we don't win we could use this as an opportunity to show our capacity for practical thought by picking something we couldn't get otherwise that'd have some pretty good benefits. That way at the very least Athena may respect us more.

We're probably not gonna get rid of Athena next run so no need for the godhead. I can't see friendship working out as a reward either unless Athena forced herself to view us as friends, although it might earn us some points with Helios. A silly hat could be amusing.

>Athena I must warn you, if we give you bird pictures you will be literally showered with them. Helios can confirm this, we wanted to give him some new markers once and kinda went overboard.

>...Although that was about 300 years ago, I'm not sure if Helios would remember.

>Marble: Avoid telling Edel that it was Cea who made the deal with this guy. Just say you hired him and leave it at that.

>Wait what, you only wanted the shell? Then why did you take the AI too?

>Nikki: Dunno, h-haven't gotten the thing yet. P-probably because you just told me I took the AI too now. ;3

Oh and if Nikki responds by just time traveling away like the ass he is,

Hey Hermes! I got a fanart for whichever handsome lad steals Nikki's mask.

Missed your highlighting, Helios. It is helpful and reassuring to see. Glad it's back.

First of all, thanks for that mental image.

I imagine he would do us one better, but with a catch: He could just use his Notail genetic knowledge to produce a cure, but that would be too simple. He could pull out the Cure-All just for the "How?!" points, but... no; we lost that priveledge by being rude about it. I think he would actually provide something that, while also fixing the problem immediately, would be much more sinister; like a certain object that Cleo can use to strike a deal with a certain someone...

Okay, enough AU fantasies for now. It's entirely possible that I am waaaaaaay overestimating what Nikki is capable of. Either way, I'm third-ening Fellow's suggestion.

I wonder if I could get around to going to the zoo before the bet is over. I wanna contribute something to this whole shebang and taking pictures of animals for anetha sounds like a nice adventure.

and now to ruin everything
