Hey beta team!

It's my birthday on Saturday. Thought it might be fun to have more digital drinks and have a little party in Mac Anu. Meet some more people. Play some games - not the one we're playing obviously lol but party games. You get my drift.

I'll figure out how to get more drinks too. Lol

Anyway. You're all invited. Hope to see you there :-)

I don't see him twisting your arm all that hard anywhere.

[Yael you rolled over like a dog?]

[weaseled]

He's twisting it elsewhere. Trust me.

[Silence! Get out of here with your logic and reason!!]

[secondthoughts]

No I'm not?

[ophidie]

The plot thickens.

I suspect you two are in cahoots. Though he seemed so serious about the potential for things to go astray...

[secondthoughts]

He's just grumpy like that. You're just gonna have to forgive him.

Though we're not in cahoots lol that would be funny if we were

[ophidie]

Then I'll let it slide this time. Nevertheless, he's pretty certain you'll be able to handle whatever trouble gets thrown your way.

That's what you'd say if you weren't working together, too. Perhaps you could split the presents?

[secondthoughts]

Hard to faze me at this point. I can handle it. [ Unsurprisingly, Hector's pretty certain, too! ]

LOL I'll only split the presents if it's his birthday too

[ LITTLE DOES HE KNOW— ]

[ophidie]

Maybe it is. That'd explain why he needs to show up even if there's a high chance of trouble.

Try not to crash the game? I'm not sure I buy that the purpose of beta testing is just to see what breaks.

[secondthoughts]

[ Fair point. Maybe he'll ask at some point... ]

Keeping the game in tact is part of the plant. It won't be much of a party if we crash the servers in the middle of it all, would it?

[ophidie]

That depends entirely on who you ask, which is where the concern came from in the place, you'll recall.

Some people care for fireworks and some care for explosions.

[ophidie]

[The logic will continue until the truth comes out!]

Of course he is. That's why you're here giving him more fodder.

Unless you're trying to hide the fact that you're a plant?

[weaseled]

A plant? Excuse me?

[ophidie]

A plant.

Someone who's been contracted - or had his arm twisted, as it were - to join him in advertising this event by stirring up a little controversy. Hm?

[weaseled]

You're not seriously accusing me of being in on this, are you? I don't owe Hector any favors.

[He's gawked at his digital ass on multiple occasions! Yael owes him nothing!!]

[ophidie]

It's just speculation. Don't worry about defending yourself so quickly.

I thought your reactions would tell me if I was right or not. And based on what I'm seeing, I think it's more likely he has the upper hand. You did back down really quickly from your concerns about inviting the whole server.

[weaseled]

Yeah? Are you trying to imply something here?

[ophidie]

You give in easily. You've got kind of a soft spot, right?

[weaseled]

And what are you? Some kind of psychologist? Don't bother psychoanalyzing me.

[ophidie]

[Holy shit Yael????

He's so transparent that she doesn't even need to point it out - and likely won't get anywhere by doing so. We're just going to let him sit in his transparent corner!]

Oh no, I'm not. I'm just drawing some conclusions, don't worry.

It sounds like you're determined to have a good time no matter what else happens.

[weaseled]

[yael the unfriendly ghost: stop staring at my transparent ass, lady]

If I have to attend, I'm not going to make the experience unpleasant for everyone by moping around. That would be pretty shitty of me.
