[ After the meeting and all has been said and done, Fandaniel, who had made no appearance whatsoever, pops onto the forum with this little message: ]

So how did your little meeting go?

Have you all decided to condemn an abandoned child for trying to warn in with the only tools they were allowed? Be not shy, friends. I have no doubt dear little Lily was one of the grand topics of the night~

I don't think I'm in any position to make judgment. Everything is an argument of character, and interpretation of the facts is based on what you believe the motive of the actor is. If you believe Lily is malicious, you'll interpret him giving out the armor as malicious. If you believe Lily is benevolent, you'll interpret him giving out the armor as well-intentioned.

Still: while Lily is ambiguous depending on how you interpret his actions, CC Corp exists in a much less nebulous space... though I guess I don't have to tell you that, given what CC Corp did to you. I don't think it's strange that some players want to look to Lily, who seems to have some ability to help them, and take a chance on him.

Have you experienced any side effects from the casket, also?

[secondthoughts]

So it's way more complicated than we think it is. Too many "buts" about this whole thing. Lily feels like a spanner in the works for reasons I can't really describe.

Thanks, Mithrun. Seriously.

[ The resident note taker... Hector is recruiting him (in his mind). ]

What casket? Lol

[tablescraps]

Sure.

( so long as he gets off barrett's tail... and it seems like he is, so, )

Let me know if you figure out what's bothering you about Lily.

Also, this.

[secondthoughts]

[ Mental note: Will do. When he's not drowning in waves of grief. Lol. ]

Oh, right.

No, I don't think so. I don't feel any different than I did before it happened. Do you think I'm supposed to?

[trollophoroi]

Are you certain you were only suspended? You have no idea if anything has been done to your body, correct? After all, Uta was murdered.

[ And let's not pretend people aren't thinking CC Corp isn't connected to that is, of course, the implication. ]

Besides, for me, I simply did not want to. I reached out to several people in reality to warn them that death in the game could be real and yet! They continued to play!

What about you, Hector?

Had I told you, would you have quit? Or kept playing regardless, if only to protect those you would not be able to warn?

[trollophoroi]

lol

[secondthoughts]

[ Hector sees this and frowns. Pouts, even.

This is no lol'ing matter, Fandaniel. Why must you hurt him so. ]

[trollophoroi]

[ Because Yael was an asshole who probably got himself killed. That ain't a tragedy like poor Uta, come on. ]

I was sleeping. But it didn't sound very fun at all anyway.

Oh, are you friends with Lily too?

[secondthoughts]

[ It's a tragedy to Hector.

Because he got him killed. :( ]

[trollophoroi]

Stop calling him an it.

[trollophoroi]

Again, you tried stuffing a deadly fish full of spikes down your throat entirely by choice.

You are in no position to say that I am not bright.

[trollophoroi]

A bit more like family than just friends but yes.

Sleeping through it was certainly the right call, though. It sounds like they managed to get nothing of use done.

[trollophoroi]

Are we even discussing Lily anymore?

Who killed Yael?

[tylorific]

really? Like a sibling?

Well, I think sharing all that info wasn't so bad. But all this stress really isn't good for anything except wrinkles and getting angry.

[trollophoroi]

Exactly like a sibling.

[ see, here's the big problem with fandaniel: he's decided to replace his dead family with a sad AI, so, yeah ]

How is Hani doing, by the way? I heard that he was hurt during the whole ordeal.

[secondthoughts]

It doesn't matter.

[trollophoroi]

It does.

A monster? CC Corp? Another player?

[userunfriendly]

[ sorry that he's not yet done (begun??) aggroing Mithrun ]

So because there are multiple people, all are incapable of being accountable for their own choices in any way?

[trashtier]

[He leaves this post for two seconds and this is what he comes back to.]

Wow, thanks for the public psychoanalysis.

But I agree with you on the last part.

[secondthoughts]

Then what am I supposed to call this entity?

[secondthoughts]

It's complicated, and it doesn't matter.

[trollophoroi]

He? Him? Maybe by his name?

Do you call Zelkova an it, too?

[trollophoroi]

Now who's the one who isn't sharing information, Hector?

[tablescraps]

Are you capable of thinking of any other argument against me, or is your brain so small you can only regurgitate the one?
