[2/16/2014 7:34:48 PM] Holly: Grayson follows Wynn and Janis.

[2/16/2014 7:35:25 PM] Janis: So...what's your Allys like?

[2/16/2014 7:35:51 PM] Holly: Grayson: She's pretty awesome, actually. Hard to keep up with.

[2/16/2014 7:36:04 PM] Janis: ...really?

[2/16/2014 7:36:41 PM] Holly: Grayson: Yeah. I have to train an extra hour or two a day and I'm *still* behind most of the time.

[2/16/2014 7:37:19 PM] Janis: Janis makes a face as she tries to match that with her Janis.

[2/16/2014 7:37:20 PM] Wynn: ....you should know something.

[2/16/2014 7:37:45 PM] Wynn: I know you think it's all fake now, but you'll realize what she said sooner or later.

[2/16/2014 7:38:03 PM] Wynn: ....Tarak didn't want me to be too hard on her, and you shouldn't be either.

[2/16/2014 7:38:17 PM] Holly: Grayson: What she said about what?

[2/16/2014 7:38:25 PM] Wynn: Leaving the Saint's service

[2/16/2014 7:39:11 PM] Wynn: Oaths are big for people like us, and she broke hers. Left for Bahamut.

[2/16/2014 7:39:51 PM] Janis: To become a lame pacifist.

[2/16/2014 7:40:02 PM] Holly: Grayson: What *happened* to her, anyway? If that's really Allys.

[2/16/2014 7:40:13 PM] Janis: I think you did.

[2/16/2014 7:40:27 PM] Wynn: It's probably better if they filled you in, but, yes.

[2/16/2014 7:40:41 PM] Janis: I overheard her and older you talking one time.

[2/16/2014 7:41:01 PM] Janis: I didn't get much but it sounds like you killed somebody she knew, or something like that.

[2/16/2014 7:41:04 PM] Wynn: There was a war, Tarak was really torn up by it, and Allys turned away because of him.

[2/16/2014 7:41:19 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks at Janis sideways.

[2/16/2014 7:41:49 PM] Janis: Janis ignores that

[2/16/2014 7:41:51 PM] Wynn: What are you *talking* about?

[2/16/2014 7:42:10 PM] Janis: Back when Raven first came back I followed him to the forest.

[2/16/2014 7:42:12 PM] Holly: Grayson: ... *I* made her like that?

[2/16/2014 7:42:27 PM] Janis: ...and then I...might have went and listened at Allys's door for a bit.

[2/16/2014 7:42:34 PM] Janis: And I picked up a word or two.

[2/16/2014 7:43:01 PM] Wynn: Wynn frowns at Janis and turns to Grayson. "She thinks you- *he* thought of her as a monster for how she acted. So she stopped."

[2/16/2014 7:43:34 PM] Holly: Grayson: ... we-ell, Allys can be kind of, um, enthusiastic sometimes, but she's not a monster. She's a good person, actually.

[2/16/2014 7:44:07 PM] Wynn: Well, as Tarak is fond of telling me, war is terrible.

[2/16/2014 7:44:53 PM] Janis: You should tell her that.

[2/16/2014 7:44:58 PM] Janis: I think she'd like to hear it.

[2/16/2014 7:45:36 PM] Holly: Grayson: Yeah, except that doesn't look like Allys to me. It looks like an aunt.

[2/16/2014 7:45:50 PM] Janis: But it is Allys.

[2/16/2014 7:46:15 PM] Wynn: ....I think I may be able to prove it.

[2/16/2014 7:46:27 PM] Holly: Grayson: How?

[2/16/2014 7:46:38 PM] Wynn: But only if Janis *swears* not to listen.

[2/16/2014 7:46:45 PM] Janis: .......why not?

[2/16/2014 7:46:52 PM] Wynn: Because it's not my story to share.

[2/16/2014 7:47:09 PM] Janis: Janis frowns and puts her hands over her ears

[2/16/2014 7:47:31 PM] Wynn: Wynn whispers to Grayson the bunny story Allys told her.

[2/16/2014 7:48:01 PM] Wynn: Would I know about that if Allys wasn't really herself?

[2/16/2014 7:48:10 PM] Holly: He turns bright red. "... no. No, probably not."

[2/16/2014 7:48:22 PM] Janis: Janis sees she's not whispering and uncovers her ears

[2/16/2014 7:48:34 PM] Janis: I also know you dropped a rock on her when you were little.

[2/16/2014 7:48:51 PM | Edited 7:48:54 PM] Wynn: Wynn chuckles a little. "Yeah, I suppose I could have just gone with that one."

[2/16/2014 7:48:57 PM] Holly: Grayson: It was an accident. It just slipped out of my hands.

[2/16/2014 7:49:08 PM] Janis: See? This is real.

[2/16/2014 7:49:54 PM] Wynn: Anyway, here's the storage room. Let's get a change of clothes for each of the new ones.

[2/16/2014 7:50:17 PM] Wynn: Do you have any other questions, now that reality is established?

[2/16/2014 7:50:20 PM] Holly: The storage room has the stuff in it!

[2/16/2014 7:50:33 PM] Holly: Grayson: ... should I be saluting you? Or her? Or... anyone?

[2/16/2014 7:50:45 PM] Wynn: ...I don't think so.

[2/16/2014 7:50:46 PM] Janis: You should salute me.

[2/16/2014 7:50:53 PM] Wynn: Wynn rolls her eyes.

[2/16/2014 7:50:54 PM] Janis: I'm the greatest bounty hunter in the worlds.

[2/16/2014 7:51:00 PM] Janis: That's gotta be worth something.

[2/16/2014 7:51:07 PM] Wynn: Tarak's never mentioned anything of the sort, and Allys... isn't a paladin anymore.

[2/16/2014 7:51:13 PM] Wynn: She's a priestess now.

[2/16/2014 7:51:42 PM] Janis: Also, Tarak's Wynn's...teacher I guess, so I guess you outrank her by proxy.

[2/16/2014 7:52:14 PM] Holly: Grayson: But I'm not him.

[2/16/2014 7:52:26 PM] Janis: Janis shrugs

[2/16/2014 7:52:27 PM] Wynn: No, you're not.

[2/16/2014 7:53:00 PM] Wynn: Wynn grabs a set of clothes that looks like they might hopefully fit each of the three new guys and starts heading back.

[2/16/2014 7:53:28 PM] Wynn: I *am* his apprentice, but I'd wager that by this time tomorrow, you probably will be too.

[2/16/2014 7:53:40 PM] Holly: Grayson follows her. "... is that... good?"

[2/16/2014 7:54:11 PM] Wynn: He's just trying to rub a little of the idealism off.

[2/16/2014 7:54:36 PM] Janis: He has idealism?

[2/16/2014 7:54:45 PM] Janis: Isn't that like being happy and stuff?

[2/16/2014 7:55:02 PM] Wynn: Not anymore... but look at *him*. He used to.

[2/16/2014 7:55:16 PM] Wynn: No, it just means believing in the best possible version of things.

[2/16/2014 7:55:39 PM] Janis: ...that still doesn't sound like Tarak.

[2/16/2014 7:55:39 PM] Holly: Grayson: ... doesn't everyone do that?

[2/16/2014 7:56:11 PM] Wynn: Like I said, not anymore.

[2/16/2014 7:56:40 PM] Holly: Grayson takes a deep breath and exhales slowly.

[2/16/2014 7:56:59 PM] Holly: Grayson: ... this is a lot to take in, and also, it is pretty depressing. I'm apparently really messed up in the future.

[2/16/2014 7:57:14 PM] Wynn: I think it's just a *possible* you.

[2/16/2014 7:57:30 PM] Holly: Grayson: And cynical and wow, extra icing on the poo-cake, I also *smell.*

[2/16/2014 7:57:33 PM] Wynn: Things will be better if you don't end up going to the war... which ended like... fifteen years ago.

[2/16/2014 7:58:00 PM] Janis: ......................

[2/16/2014 7:58:03 PM] Wynn: I don't think you *have* to end up that way.

[2/16/2014 7:58:38 PM] Janis: But once he goes back, won't he have to go to war like other Tarak did?

[2/16/2014 7:58:46 PM] Wynn: Who says he has to go back?

[2/16/2014 7:58:57 PM] Wynn: Or that there isn't still some version of him going through that?

[2/16/2014 7:59:16 PM] Wynn: I think he's his own person now..... *now*.

[2/16/2014 7:59:49 PM] Holly: Grayson: ... I'm always my own person.

[2/16/2014 7:59:54 PM] Janis: I think we don't know anything about any of this and we certainly can't trust where it came from.

[2/16/2014 8:00:30 PM] Wynn: Wynn shrugs. "But we might as well go in a direction until we do. Maybe it's the idealism speaking, but I'd like to think he can still be saved from that."

[2/16/2014 8:01:17 PM] Wynn: Wynn slows a little. "Do you have any other questions before we get back to them?"

[2/16/2014 8:02:54 PM] Holly: Grayson: ... it's all kind of a lot to take in.

[2/16/2014 8:03:09 PM] Holly: Grayson: I'd actually like to go pray for a little bit, if that's okay. If there's a quiet place.

[2/16/2014 8:03:13 PM] Wynn: It's a lot to take in, even if you aren't a magic body double.

[2/16/2014 8:03:39 PM] Wynn: Well, there's a forest, and you can have your own room. I think the others are in the observation deck, though the view is really something right now.

[2/16/2014 8:04:32 PM] Holly: Grayson: .... I'm pretty sure I'm a person, Miss Wynn.

[2/16/2014 8:04:54 PM] Janis: Why do you call her miss?

[2/16/2014 8:04:56 PM] Wynn: Just Wynn.

[2/16/2014 8:05:04 PM] Wynn: And that's not really what I meant.

[2/16/2014 8:06:03 PM] Holly: Grayson: ... it's just polite, that's all.

[2/16/2014 8:07:42 PM] Wynn: Do you have a preference for location?

[2/16/2014 8:08:11 PM] Wynn: There's also a library and a training room.

[2/16/2014 8:08:54 PM] Holly: Grayson: Nah. I've been staying in a monk's cell, so I don't really have a lot of requirements.

[2/16/2014 8:09:25 PM] Wynn: Ok, well, I guess I'll just show you your room then.

[2/16/2014 8:09:46 PM] Holly: Grayson: Right.

[2/16/2014 8:10:48 PM] Janis: .......I guess I'll see if the others are on the observation deck

[2/16/2014 8:10:58 PM] Janis: I'll meet you there when you're done.

[2/16/2014 8:11:06 PM] Janis: Janis leaves
