"TAM--" He gestured wildly, helplessly. "Are you really CONSIDERING this?" "Of course I am. It makes a lot of- whoa, Bat, calm down! It'll go just fine!" She took his wrist in her hand. "Relax." Just now, Halcyon The Only said: Bat stared at him, horrified. "You're just going to--- Cricket, I thought you cared about her!" That made her pause.
NameIess Posted January 20, 2025 Posted January 20, 2025 3 minutes ago, TwinStorm said: "It's not convincing to Malan if she's awake. Though... maybe we could make it seem like she just became conscious again." Malevolence nodded. "I see. Well, I could rig something with Nullite to put her unconscious. Even if we don't go with this plan, we'll have to have some reasonable method for me to 'contain' her."

She took his wrist in her hand. "Relax." That made her pause. 2 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said: Bat stared at him, horrified. "You're just going to--- Cricket, I thought you cared about her!" "MORE THAN ANYTHING!" he screamed suddenly. "DO YOU THINK I WANT TO PUT HER IN DANGER? DO YOU THINK I...." he broke down in tears, suddenly sobbing.

Do you think something that looked like Nullite would work? I don't want to be completely helpless."

"She'll need to be Enulled, at least at the beginning." he said, gasping softly, trying to regain composure.

It'll go just fine!" She took his wrist in her hand. "Relax." That made her pause. "You--- you're just going to blindly trust this guy?" He gestured to Malevolence. His frantic was growing. "Tam, what did you do to yourself?" Just now, NameIess said: Malevolence nodded. "I see. Well, I could rig something with Nullite to put her unconscious. Even if we don't go with this plan, we'll have to have some reasonable method for me to 'contain' her." "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Bat roared.

His frantic was growing. "Tam, what did you do to yourself?" "I . . . I already told you . . ." she said quietly, leaning away. 2 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said: "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Bat roared. She'd . . . she'd never seen him like this. What was going on?

He wouldn't be able to make her see. He wouldn't be able to make anyone see. Nobody would listen to him. Why had he ever tried? He swallowed hard, looking away.

NameIess Posted January 20, 2025 Posted January 20, 2025 "Let's all calm down." Malevolence pulled out a pencil and a notepad. "So current plan is: Tam is enulled or knocked unconscious. Cricket is disguised as Stone. Bat will be teleported in after Malan makes his appearance." He pointed at Bat. "You think it's too dangerous for Tam. Please, tell me how we can mitigate this risk to improve the plan." @TwinStorm @Halcyon The Only @Through The Living Glass
