> Just sort of ask Raziel to block the door if it's not ok, then leave and reenter the room.

Seconding this one because the reapers have never seen Raziel in motion.

Actually I'm pretty sure Raziel has been harassing them for awhile. So they likely have.

in slighty unrelated, but most likely wanted news, I made a Ruu

>Garreth: Could you signal Skully to quietly message Lucia about Alice's arrival? We'd rather not have Lucia be caught by suprise.

We're not at garry at the moment but I'm gonna make the command anyway, just in case, since we seem to be switching back and forth.

Itamie: Ask Raziel if it's cool first. He's just kinda sitting there... MENACINGLY



You're startled to find Raziel has moved, and quite silently at that.

Itamie: Look Ghen..!
Ghen: Oh shi...
Ghen: Welp, Maybe this is a good sign.
Itamie: ...?
Ghen: It must be just as curious as us!
Itamie: I don't think so, Ghen.
Itamie: We should not do this.
Ghen: ... You're probably right.
Itamie: It just doesn't feel safe.
Ghen: Let's keep it moving.
Itamie: Okay.

You are now Emily, stunned as your environment is pulled from you, leaving you temporarily blinded by the change of scenery.

Daydream: Mind if we talk about stuff?
Emily: Whoa...
Emily: I uhh..
Daydream: Take a minute.
Daydream: I've never done that before, so it is weird for the both of us.
Daydream: Pretty interesting.
Emily: What do you want to talk about?
Daydream: ... Hold on a sec.
Daydream: I'll need to stop reviewing so I don't miss anything.

>bob: do a dance

Seconding the shit out of this.

>bob: do a dance

Seconding, because silly dances are the most important thing

> Bob: Cuddle the statue of yourself.

>don't mind the dance. you talk while we listen until we see fit to politely butt in.

colored commands that can't be ignored! what now IP?

I said it elsewhere, but I'll say it again here, I think we shouldn't talk at first. It might be something important that Daydream wants to talk about, like her therapy sessions with Emily, or even about what she's thinking about the current situation. Either way, there's a chance we won't find out if we just start mouthing off.

Luckily, dancing is silent so we can do the shit out of that.

>bob: do a dance

second lets make this dance dance revolution!

>ladies: feelings jam

Seconding. Interrupting the mood/privacy just to be silly is more than a little disrespectful. If Daydream takes offense she can easily just turn Bob off or kick us out of here and we won't know what's going on.

Daydream has finally sought Emily out to talk with her. This is the first real instance of her reaching out for help. Unless we have something important to say or add, I say we keep piped down.

>ladies: feelings jam

Seconding.

1. Love the Ruu. My precious Daughter is precious.

2. HI HELLO i'M NEW

3. thirding the ladies having a feelings jam, and I'm also agreeing for us to all be quiet so we can hear what the two of them have to say. I agree with what Kayriel said also. It would be rude for us to interrupt a moment with Bob dancing because this situation is very real and painful for them, and I'm not all for dancing around right now.

1. Love the Ruu. My precious Daughter is precious.

All I needed to hear. Welcome ClearlyACat, have a complimentary tinfoil hat!... is what I'd say but as a Ruu appreciator I'd think you'd prefer this new and impRUUved Tiaruu!

I'd argue thats more the reason for us to be silly. If we let darkness and depression completely push out all the silliness of the venture we're likely going to end up being less productive because everyone is in a bad mood. Sure, there are times where we should take things more seriously, but theres an equal or even greater amount of times where it's a good idea to lighten the mood.

>Bob: BE ADORABLE DAMN IT.
>Anywho, just ignore Bob for a bit, we just wanted to see them be cute <3

To be fair, we might very well just push Daydream out whatever bravery she screwed up to have this session. Which is even worse, since then we won't have an opportunity to find an actually good time to insert levity and cheer her up. Timing is very important, frivolously early timing can completely sabotage any attempt to help, and being too late clearly is just going to be annoying.

Still, with any luck she'll just ignore that this is happening and tell us to behave.

Alright, I can see where you're coming from with this. I would still prefer for us to not dance at least, and perhaps do something of a smaller scale? I'm kind of liking juddy555's idea. Just have Bob be really cute! (Although, let's be honest, he's cute all the time).



Also, ActivelyAnonymous. I'm saving that Tiaruu picture. It's my desktop BG now.

BOO!
I scared you with my sudden presence! I was not expected!
Nah, don't worry about me.
>Bob, do a little jig. But don't make it too noticable.

Daydream: Okay, there.
Emily: ...
Daydream: So I was thinking about what you said, before.
Daydream: ... And while thinking about it, my thoughts wandered...
Daydream: Ideas came into my head...
Daydream: And I really feel that, I'm not who I used to be.
Daydream: I mean we all change, but not here.
Daydream: Time is still, frozen. Or really, false.
Daydream: To change, is to grow... And.
Daydream: I have been growing... Very slowly, but still.
Daydream: I've come to realise that... Now that you're here with me, I'm not alone. I can succeed.
Daydream: And then I think about, how it used to be. In the beginning.
Daydream: How strong willed and independent I felt.
Daydream: How sure I could do this.
Daydream: Compared to then, and now. The growth has been...
Daydream: In my own eyes, unfathomable.
Daydream: I never imagined I'd be this version of myself.
Daydream: The vast amount of instances I've traversed, searching for the way to fix everything...
Daydream: Literally, thousands.
Daydream: If I could give you an exact number of how many instances I've tried and failed.
Daydream: My best guess would be between 14,000 and 22,000 times.
Emily: The gap of unknown is quite large.
Daydream: Only because so much has been a blur.
Daydream: I... Felt I was so strong.
Daydream: Since meeting the Aliens... And you coming here.
Daydream: I've actually had hope restored in myself.
Daydream: I cried over and over in this paradigm.
Daydream: Tears for Derrick. Tears for myself.
Daydream: Tears for the pointlessness of everything I've done.
Daydream: Tears for my unwillingness to change.
Daydream: But deep in my heart, my resolve was unshaken.
Daydream: Until just a moment ago.
Daydream: I felt that I was not strong. And because I was not strong is why I needed your help.
Daydream: I understood that because of my lack of strength to do what was necessary, I had to rely on you, and the Aliens.
Daydream: And that is when...
Daydream: I saw it.
Emily: You saw what?
Daydream: Fucking.
Daydream: Malice.
Emily: ???
Daydream: I've been running this place for as well as I could manage for over 14,000 cycles.
Daydream: And never once had I seen that thing in here.
Daydream: That's why I brought you here. I am in danger.
Daydream: If I continue how I am, it'll get to me.
Daydream: I'm terrified I'll turn again.
Emily: Oh... I remember...
Daydream: If that happens to me here, while I'm in this place...
Daydream: I don't think I'd be able to continue my work.
Daydream: And if I don't work, time stands still for everyone in here.
Daydream: You'd all be trapped forever.
Emily: Oh no!!
Daydream: I'm glad you understand the gravity of this problem.
Daydream: All I ask of you Emily, is to keep doing what you're doing.
Daydream: Keep being supportive.
Daydream: Don't change...
Emily: All I can be is myself.
Emily: I'm sure if I do change, the change will be necessary.
Emily: But I understand. It must be so lonely, taking on this task for as long as you did.
Daydream: It was... Incredibly.
Daydream: But at the very least, not anymore.
Emily: Do you want to take a session?
Daydream: ... Not yet. I mostly did this to let you know.
Daydream: As well as the Aliens, as to what was going on. I'm starting to trust them more.
Emily: That's good!
Daydream: Sorry if you wanted to tell me anything Aliens, this wasn't a normal encounter.
Daydream: But I guess...
Daydream: I'll be open to anything you have to say before continuing.
