[ 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~

[my brother in christ, where the fuck were you]

Hello to you, too.

[trollophoroi]

[ on vacation qq not being the target of a lot of frightened idiots in a small space, that's where ]

Misteaks~

How did it go?

[gluttoning]

Don't know. I was asked to leave.

[A great quality of any meeting, truly.]

You're probably going to get a lot of questions.

[trollophoroi]

Asked to leave? YOU? Goodness, it must have been terrible, in that case.

[ Kind of supports his choice to skip that shit. ]

Then I suppose I shall answer them as I can.

[gluttoning]

A fight started. I broke someone's shoulder.

[Context that would have been good last tag for 500, Alex.]

So don't do that.

[trollophoroi]

A fight? Over what? Who's shoulder?

[ Like wow, that sounds rough, buddy. ]

[gluttoning]

Lily.

Tabibito.

[Sorry about your student.]

[trollophoroi]

[ Hani?! Okay, Fandaniel can't even find that funny now. How annoying. ]

I am sure you did not mean to. Knowing Tabibito, you've already been forgiven. I will have to pay them a visit to see how they are.

Though the fight being over Lily... I take it people are unwilling to listen to reason?

[gluttoning]

[He doesn't respond to the first part. He knows that forgiveness isn't coming. But that's not for the forums.]

Don't know.

You'll probably find a way to explain it better. Mine apparently didn't make sense.

[trollophoroi]

[ This is what he gets for letting children try and handle this in his place. He had thought Barrett and Levi would be more trustworthy than, well, him, and yet! ]

I will do my best but these people are shockingly stubborn.

[gluttoning]

[wow!!!]

I don't know if that's it, exactly. But if they don't get it, then they don't get it.

Try not to insult anyone too much.

So you believe him fully. Interesting for you.

( everything may change, but fandaniel will always be that bitch eating crackers to mithrun )

[trollophoroi]

[ die mad, morgan ]

Unlike you, I have met him, and unlike the brothers, I was very angry with him during our first encounter, so please do not pretend that my belief in him is blind.

[tablescraps]

( if he's to die he's taking you with him )

If you were so angry, then how did he convince you?

[trollophoroi]

We spoke. It's as simple as that. Failure to communicate clearly is often the root of strife.

What we are dealing with is a sentient creation that was abandoned by his creators, threatened with death for not being as perfect as his brother. He knew we were in danger when we arrived in the game, but the tools he had were so limited that all he could do was try and frighten us away.

I can empathize with that helpless feeling. Trying but failing, repeatedly, to save someone.

[tablescraps]

Family again? He seems to know the language of family very well.

( Fandaniel, Barrett, Leviathan... He wonders if Lily leveraged family with Matoba and Uta, too. Though, Matoba is opportunistic and Uta seems generous at heart, so maybe Lily didn't need to. )

Do you get a headache talking about those things? Can you say them out loud?

[trollophoroi]

A headache?

Why would I get a headache from any of that?

[tablescraps]

Lily doesn't want some of us talking about certain things he's said, so we get headaches talking about them, among other things. But only some. 0koto is just disallowed from speaking, for example.

I was wondering if there was a pattern there.

[trollophoroi]

Truly? I do wonder if 0koto was particularly rude but no, I have not encountered any such restriction.

[ But he also kept this all to himself, soooo, yeah. ]

Although considering how traumatic speaking of his "family" must be, I am not sure I can blame him. I think I would ban anyone from mentioning my own family if I could.

[trollophoroi]

I shall endeavor not to! Really, I mean it.

It's a tad bit too important for my usual levity.

[tablescraps]

You never really considered that if Lily can peer into memories, he knew the concept of family would resonate with you, and he pressed that point to gain your sympathy? I never realized you were so easy.

( Look. This isn't even anti-Lily sentiment. It might look like it, but it's not. This is him being mean about Fandaniel because he insisted his faith isn't blind. )

[gluttoning]

It's fine. I know you'll take this seriously.

un: L3V147H4N

[trashtier]

I wouldn't say I welcomed him with open arms or anything...

[trollophoroi]

You would take empathy as being easy.

[ but not as easy as mithrun's armorsona ayyy ]

I won't deny the possibility, of course, but if he saw something in me that resonated with his own experience, is that such a bad thing?

[trollophoroi]

Perhaps not but let's not pretend you weren't displeased to know that Lily invited me over for a chat.
