It gives us something to yell at while we're confused.

She said she was the Maid of Time, I believe? Do you know if there's anything special to being a Maid? [Cuuurious, is all.]

[wontturntostone]

I'm not sure, honestly. I was a Slyph, and I still don't know what that means either, to be honest.

I suppose, given the way she seems to have taken to managing the dream bubbles, it could be literal. A caretaker, of sorts.

[healium]

Hmm.. well, from old fantasy stories, a Slyph was always a graceful being that took it upon itself to protect the other winged creatures. It's known as a living embodiment of air or as a fairy.

It's a shame we don't know more about those parts of our titles.

[wontturntostone]

I...[She isn't quite certain what to make of that particular description, though part of her can concede it is...a little...accurate.]

I suspect we'll never know now.

[healium]

For now, I suppose not. [In Jane's opinion, Kanaya fits the graceful attribute easily. In the meantime, she's finishing her drink and refilling it again.]

[wontturntostone]

[And Kanaya would be completely flustered if Jane actually said that.]

Some people have been here a very long time, it's entirely possible we won't return.

[After a moment of thought, she refilled her own drink also.]

[healium]

Would you want to stay, given the choice?

[wontturntostone]

[If only she had asked that in an few hours.]

I don't know. Possibly. Life here is...simpler.

But there are things we need to do there.

[healium]

[Ooopppsssss]

Right, I suppose that was the point of playing the game in the first place.

[wontturntostone]

Yes, creating a new universe. Stopping Lord English.

But if we all end up here...I suppose it wouldn't actually matter.

jane if you only knew-

[healium]

[She can't help looking downright curious. English isn't that popular of a last name; or is it?] Who is Lord English?

[wontturntostone]

[Kanaya blinks in surprise at that.]

I suppose you don't know in your session. He's something...like a final boss of everything, I suppose. From a game perspective.

[healium]

No, I've only just been receiving my game discs in the mail actually, and I don't believe the name has come up before from anyone else.

Oh? What has he been doing that makes him the final boss?

[wontturntostone]

Destroying large section of the universe, as far as anyone can tell. At least, that's what Dave thought he saw. Beyond that we don't know.

[healium]

Wow. Well, damn. That certainly does qualify him as the big bad villain, if that's the case!

[wontturntostone]

Yeah. It's...somewhat worrying. Even with four god tiers I am not certain how we are supposed to destroy something like him.

[healium]

Is there a way to get more god tier players?

[wontturntostone]

I don't believe anyone else from our session can do so, as most of us already died, and our quest beds were destroyed with our planets. Aradia did so through a loophole, and Vriska is dead...

From your own session, I suppose it's still possible. I don't really know the specifics there.

[healium]

How does one go about becoming god tier, anyhow?

[wontturntostone]

Well, the way we understood it was that you had to die on your quest bed, and your dream self would awaken as a God Tier.

But there do seem to be a few loopholes. Aradia's dream self never left her quest bed, but when she died the first time, she didn't revive. It wasn't till later.

I don't know. None of it is entirely consistent.

[healium]

Ah.. hm. [Well, it sounds a little unnerving to start with. Die on a quest bed?] That might not work for our session then, since.. well, I've been told I already have died and been revived. I know when I woke on Prospit, I had the misfortune of coming across Jake's dream self in the middle of his funeral.

[wontturntostone]

[Kanaya smiles faintly in sympathy, because that sounds awful...although she's not entirely clear on the exact nature of human corpse parties.]

Well, in theory you could die on the quest bed inside your respective planet...prospit for you, I would think, but maybe Derse...and revive as god tier. It worked for Rose and Dave but I am not precisely certain Why.

[healium]

[Rubbing her neck in thought, Jane just quietly takes another long drink.] It sounds scary, to die in the first place.

[wontturntostone]

...It is. It's horrible

[Kanaya hesitates. She tries very hard never to think about that moment, honestly.]

I hope you don't have to go through it.

[healium]

[Nodding gently, Jane then raises her cup and bumps it lightly to Kanaya's.] To not dying again until we're old and have lived out our lives!
