> Derrick: There's plenty of time until the night, be the new you, treat your boys to something sweet, maybe waffles?

I also support this. Lucas needs people to hang out with especially because we saw Malice a while back.

Seconding dear Panur. Waffles sound great, and Lucas needs some good vibes to shake off Malice.

Derrick: There's plenty of time until the night, be the new you, treat your boys to something sweet, maybe waffles?

Derrick: Sure, come with us.
Lucas: Where are we going?
Derrick: I was thinking of getting some waffles.
Garreth: Waffles sound nice, let's go to my house then.
Garreth: I have waffles I'd like to get rid of. I prefer pancakes and so I never eat them.
Garreth: My parents like them though.
Derrick: Okay, cool.
Lucas: I don't think I've been to your place.
Garreth: You haven't. You two will be the first guests of mine.
Lucas: Oh wow! I'm honoured.
Garreth: As you know, I don't make friends easily.

Down the street, you spot Lexii ushering Alice on the route you take home, hopefully your sister won't be too much of a handful for Lexii... Or vice versa.

Garreth: I'll lead the way, follow me.

You arrive at Garreth's place. To you it feels much like your house, only a bit smaller.

Lucas: Nice place you got here!
Garreth: Thanks. Sorry if you find it a bit cramped.
Lucas: Nah, I'm sure we won't even notice!
Garreth: Derrick, leave your goods here, so you don't forget them.
Derrick: Alright.

The sun sets. The current time you have is 4:30pm.

> Chill and take care of school stuff while you get the waffles ready.

Sh*t! The countdown's already begun and that means we gotta get a move-on! Uhh... what do we do?! (join us in the #command-center-spoil room over on Discord)

>Garry and Derrick: Its best to be relaxed. Lets establish how long it will take to get to the hospital before we make any specific time for departure

>Garry and Derrick: Its best to be relaxed. Lets establish how long it will take to get to the hospital before we make any specific time for departure

Agree.
However we should wait until lucas leaves before doing any hospital related stuff, wouldn't want him to get suspicious of anything.

>Garry: Tell Derrick you need a few minutes to talk to Lucas and drag him off somewhere secluded to have a talk with him. Without revealing Derrick's plans for the evening, convince him to join our side and act in order to fix all of the blunders and cruelties Alice has done so far. Make it clear that Daydream, now being on the path to redemption thanks to Emily's guidance, needs to see an alternate universe where everybody lives, not just Derrick. Then ask him to be honest and tell you if Alice sent him to spy on Derrick.

Downvoting, we agreed to not take lucas because it would be too risky, talking to him about dd would be something we could do perhaps after lucia is safe, i also feel like these questionings might feel threatening to lucas

if we are gonna go through with this, itd be good to get a consensus, this feels like jumping the gun to me

Agreeing with Terra, unseconding that post, nN. That goes against the whole reason we brought Lucas along, and could have massive negative repercussions on both the current mission and longterm for the session. That's not the kind of command one person should make on their own without discussion.

With the current situation, I feel like it would be most logical for Lucas to take this as sort of a "We should get together and dick Alice over." round-robin mutiny thing, which - and we want him to be more healthy in his busted ass relationship with the girl (possibly cutting off the crush altogether since she doesn't actually give a flap about him) - would go against everything he's currently fighting for and thus make him very ill-disposed towards Derrick and Garry, and possibly us if he realizes our hand in it.

Which he would because you said for Derrick to talk to Lucas about DD - and Waking Derrick knows nothing about Daydream. Only we, the Observers, do in regards to Derrick. Derrick would be talking about things he doesn't know about, trying to convince her strongest supporter to turn on her. None of that makes sense, mi amigo.

downvoting as well, this seems like a bad idea as we don-t really know what will lucas- reaction be to facing a choice between friends vs daydream.

yeah, lets go with that

Lucas: So when have you and Garry gotten so close? I suppose this was your idea?
Derrick: ... It was sort of random, this is our first outing.
Lucas: I see.
Lucas: I guess you probably wouldn't have invited me if I didn't ask, huh.
Derrick: ......
Derrick: It's not like that.
Lucas: I'm just messin'! What, you think I'm jealous or something??
Lucas: I guess being at home by myself hasn't been the best lately, so I thought I'd chill with the bros.
Lucas: Thanks for inviting me.
Derrick: It's not a problem.
Lucas: Do you have something eating you? I saw you in math class briefly, you had some serious head in the clouds back there.
Derrick: Oh..! Uhh...
Derrick: I'll tell you later.
Lucas: Ehh? Later?
Lucas: Why not now while it's still hot?
Derrick: It's sorta... touchy.
Lucas: Ohh, I see... I'm gunna guess it's connected to your sister.
Derrick: Nothing gets past you.
Lucas: Oh har har har, Mr. Sarcasm.
Lucas: Well whatever it is... Don't sit on it.
Lucas: That'll be a recipe for dark thoughts.
Derrick: Hey... What is it you like about my sister anyway.
Derrick: I mean, sure you said she was cute or whatever but, you don't know her.
Lucas: .....
Derrick: I can't understand because I'm her brother but... From where I stand now...
Derrick: Anyone pursuing her would be like a moth to a flame.
Lucas: ...... Heh, I guess you might be onto something.
Lucas: Y'know I ask myself that often.
Derrick: I mean you only met her a couple days ago.
Derrick: I can't get my head around it.
Lucas: You and me both.
Lucas: Sometimes I wish I could just... turn my heart off.
Lucas: But here I am, shackled up.
Lucas: Sure it's been a short time but... To me it feels like I've always known her.
Lucas: It feels like I've tried for her attention, and saved her from danger over and over and over...
Lucas: As if I was her knight. Fighting to protect her.
Lucas: I could only hope that she sees my efforts as something worthy of her praise and adoration but...
Lucas: It's just a feeling of mine... None of it is real.
Derrick: That's really sad. Why don't you just tell her?
Derrick: Sure she'll reject you, but then you can begin to heal and move on.
Lucas: .......
Lucas: When you fight for something for so long, you begin to think it's who you are.
Lucas: In my example, I used a knight.
Lucas: I really feel like I'm her knight in shining armour.
Lucas: If I was told I was not needed, who would I protect then?
Lucas: Who would I fight for?
Derrick: Yourself?
Lucas: ......... You see things so simply. I wish I could.
Derrick: All this is... exaggeration right?
Lucas: OH, of course.
Lucas: Like you said it's only been a few days right? Haha...
Derrick: You really feel strongly about people. I like that about you.
Derrick: Me? I tend to be neutral about most.
Derrick: But to be honest, I think I'm better off for it.
Derrick: The less people around me that I care for, the less likely I'll get hurt.
Lucas: But then the only ones who can hurt you the most would be surrounding you.
Derrick: .....
Lucas: It's nice to build walls to protect yourself, but you'll die alone in that fortress.
Lucas: I like people for the most part.
Lucas: If someone is worth it, you fight like hell for them.
Lucas: Sure I have walls, but I don't build them too high.
Lucas: I'd like to look over once in a while so I don't miss out on any great people out there.

>Derrick: This is s rather heart felt conversation, maybe it'd be a good idea to at least tell Lucas about how Alice blatantly lied to you. after all he seems a bit... lonely.

also Boo.

> Derrick: Someone you stood up for intentionally hurt you... Ask if Lucas' eyes are they still worth fighting for

I feel that Derrick needs an idea of Lucas viewpoint. I'm pretty sure that Lucas still thinks that if the person they care about hurts them, that they're still worth fighting for. However, I believe he'll note that Derrick would need to understand the reasoning for why said 'person' hurt him and work out a better way.

This exploration might force Lucas to look at himself and notice a level of hypocrisy in that Lucas knows why Alice is using him and hurting him, but he never tries to improve the situation. For Derrick, it imparts a sense that he should work to improve the situation with Alice and repair, rather than just push her away forever.

>Derrick: This is s rather heart felt conversation, maybe it'd be a good idea to at least tell Lucas about how Alice blatantly lied to you. after all he seems a bit... lonely.

I don't think that is a good idea, it ruins Lucas' viewpoint about Alice (and indirectly, Daydream? I don't know his feelings as we haven't tried Be Lucas yet.)

For Derrick, it imparts a sense that he should work to improve the situation with Alice and repair, rather than just push her away forever.

Probably this'll need to wait until midnight comes.

Our situation is quite tangled right now, so what I'll suggest is:
> Derrick: Be Lucas.
> Lucas: Inquire more about Derrick's situation.
The second command is quite risky, I know, but there is a chance that Derrick'll just hide it off Lucas, pushing Lucas to take his own conclusion and move on.

(I'm a long lost observer who hasn't posted since centuries ago... It's nice to be back, I guess.)

For Derrick, it imparts a sense that he should work to improve the situation with Alice and repair, rather than just push her away forever.

Probably this'll need to wait until midnight comes.

I believe it can't hurt to impart ideas for people to mull over. We're not in the business of forcing people to do things, we push them in a direction that they are willing to take. Having Derrick in the mindset that the relationship between him and Alice is something to be repaired rather than ignored makes future commands easier... from what I understand.

Also! Welcome back! ^u^

I believe you're my senior as an Observer, but then, most are. :P

For Derrick, it imparts a sense that he should work to improve the situation with Alice and repair, rather than just push her away forever.

i dont think "repairing" their relationship is ever gonna work out, in fact, its gonna make things worse when the moment of the reveal happens, because alice would be betraying derricks trust again, and personally, i'd rather derrick push alice away forever, some things just cant be forgiven

Oh Lucas you poor bby TnT)

Thirding RC

Down voting because

> Derrick: Someone you stood up for intentionally hurt you... Ask if Lucas' eyes are they still worth fighting for

is essentially the same but doesn't seem like an attack on Alice which may make Lucas automatically shift to protect her, so I'm gonna go with this one. I'd just ask for also

> Derrick: emphasize the fact that they lied to you , that they have been lying to you for who know how long, which not only hurt you but is making you question if you actually ever knew this person, not to mention the fact that to protect them and their lies you may have ended up hurting and pushing away other people who didn't deserve it.

seconding this, way better

...

You know what, i see absolutely no reason why all these commands can't just go one after another.

So i'm also seconding Pan's command but unseconding Terra and Pan's unseconding of RC's command (because really Pan, your commands are kind-of the same thing, with yours just being a bit more verbose and specific.)

Also adding my own, because this command queue is getting pretty long now and i'm sorry to do this to you there IP >.>)

>Derrick: Finish by thanking Lucas for being such a good listener and always being cheerful for others even when he may be feeling a bit down himself. However, make it clear that at this point, what Alice needs saving from the most is Herself.

Derrick + Garreth : Introspective thoughts on what the actual plan is for when you get to the hospital

I kinda feel like Alice is going to snap and attack Lexii, possibly even murdering her. Not sure if that's just paranoia or my gut giving me a warning, but it popped into my head and I thought i'd share it. Maybe at some point during the night, contact Lexii and get a status report?

I doubt we're going to lose a character off screen without being given any indication it's a possibility.

iP can always cut our viewpoints and transition to Lexii at anytime, though.

Seconding this. We should be cautious though, we don't know how Derrick will respond to a barrage of commands. I hope Lil Mal wouldn't pop out at an important time like this.
