TMC: SUBJECT TIDE. IT IS GOOD TO SEE THAT SOME THINGS DO NOT CHANGE.
Tide: Uhh..I...Well welcome back.
TMC: I DO NOT KNOW IF I HAVE FULLY EXPRESSED MY GRATITUDE FOR YOU SERVING AS A BRIDGE FOR TID AS YOU HAVE
TMC: YOUR DEVOTION TO DISAMBIGUATING REDACRE IS COMMENDABLE I APPLAUD
TMC: YOUR WORK
Tide: Why thank you
TMC: IT IS IS HARD ENDING THIS NEW PLAGUE OF MYSTICISM THAT IS SWEEPING ACROSS REDACRE, BUT YOU HAVE DONE MUCH
TMC: HOW GOES YOUR OBSERVATION THIS EVENING?
Tide: A lot of things have happened. A lot of things that are concerning…
TMC: DO TELL
Tide: The sudden appearance of the ciphers have me a little concerned. And everything is just going to absolute hell. The exorcism mission, the place between, how does this all tie together?
TMC: INTERESTING, AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF THE OLD TONGUE YOU CAN SHARE?
Tide: When you piece together three different Old Tongue phrases like I’m doing now (Tide does Name-The-Beast) you can unlock a secret. But I do wonder how this is going to affect all of us. Going in and out of the Place Between, is it safe?
TMC: I ASK SIMILAR QUESTIONS, IT’S GOOD TO KNOW YOU’RE PIERCING THE VEIL WITH ME
TMC: TELL ME DO YOU WISH TO REMAIN A DEVOTED AS STUDENT AS EVER?
Tide: Well of course. No questions about that, ironically.
TMC: CLEARITY YES, THEN PERHAPS IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GRADUATE
Tide: I get my PhD!! :D
TMC: NOT EXACTLY, BUT I WILL SEND YOU INSTRUCTIONS FOR BUILDING SOMETHING
Darkness: *Laughs*
TMC: I AM SURE YOU WILL LIKE IT, WAIT FOR IT
Tide: Oh boy. I also had other questions. I know you can’t be completely on board with SEED-THE-GRUDGE being leader. Right? She’s a little hot-headed. Just a little bit?
TMC: SHE IS OVEREAGER INDEED IT IS TRUE, I HAVE FOUND IT DIFFICULT...
TMC: HOWEVER SHE HAS EARNED HER SEAT AT THE TABLE AND AT THE VERY LEAST I AM CURIOUS TO SEE HOW HER MACHINATIONS WILL PLAY OUT
TMC: IT WILL CERTAINLY SHAKE THE CHESS BOARD THAT MUCH IS CERTAIN
Tide: Well THEE-I-DARE has also said he wanted LAUGH-LAST and IN-HER-TEETH to join. That would destroy the chess table in my opinion. Talk about drama.
TMC: THEY WERE EVER THUS, UNPREDICTABLE AS ALWAYS, SELFISH
Tide: Do you know...anything about how LAUGH-LAST and IN-HER-TEETH started? Like, anything? How did they meet, become a couple? Seems a little far fetched at least in my mind.
TMC: WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU ASKING?
Tide: Well they used to be a couple. Sharing hosts and all...that. But they just seem to be such opposites. I don’t know how that would have ever worked.
(19 seconds of dead silence)
Darkness: Tide you may have broken him.
Cryo: *Laughs*
Tide: I mean, okay maybe the relationship thing isn’t a good topic so…
TMC: NO NO IT IS ALRIGHT, YOUR KIND HAS EVER USED HUMOR TO COPE WITH DEATH, YOU HAVE MADE STRANGE BEDFELLOWS OF THEM
Tide: Well I think this is another topic...Hunter seems to have very few hosts for himself considering he wants the best of the best. I feel like that’s a weakness that’s possible to exploit. Maybe just a little?
TMC: THEIR NUMBERS ARE FEW IT IS TRUE, BUT THERE ARE MORE EVERY DAY
Darkness: Well that’s concerning
TMC: I HAVE SEEN THE RISING CURB, INDEED IT IS AND DESPERATE TIMES HAVE CALLED FOR DESPERATE MEASURES,
Tide: Hopefully not too desperate. We can’t jump down the rabbit hole.
TMC: LOOK FOR YOUR DELIVERY SUBJECT TIDE AND AGAIN I THANK YOU FOR YOUR OPEN EYE, PERSEVERE IN YOUR PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE
Tide: One last thing? If I may…
TMC: FOR YOU INDEED
Tide: I just really wanted to say, I missed you.
(TMC’s 50 seconds of silence)
Cryo: *Laughs* Emotions do not compute.
Darkness: You just keep breaking him.
Cryo: He’s broke man.
Tide: I know. I’m prone to human emotions but that’s the way life goes
Darkness: TMC.exe has stopped working.
Cryo: No emotions, head empty. Maybe he’s just gone. He done.
Darkness: Yeah TMC.exe has stopped working.
Cryo: Is he just actually gone?!
Darkness: He might be gone.
TMC: APOLOGIES I WISH TO MAKE CERTAIN I HAD RECORD OF YOUR WORDS, I SHALL RECORD IT
Tide: Oh.
Darkness: Oh no.
Tide: Uh oh.
TMC: ONE LAST THING FROM ME
Tide: Of course.
TMC: THE HUNTER TAKES HIS
Darkness: Takes his?
Tide: His…
TMC: HE TAKES HIS HOSTS FROM THE VOICES HE DESTROYS, HIS HUNGER KNOWS NO LIMIT. BE WARY.
Tide: Of course.
Darkness: I’ve already heard that one before.
Tide: Caution is the only way to go.
Cryo: Good.
