The Fellowship of the Thing-Other Stories

"Yeah, I'm...not sure. And I don't want to go back to them. Not yet. Not until the record is set straight, set even. Letting us stay here safe from your government is helping." T sinks into thought and begins to plan.

"We just need to stay here until our group shows up or T is ready to portal back to them, then we'll leave you be."

"That's the problem, Hiiri. Being left be is kind of all that ever happens to us." Alex plopped down on a chair in the corner. "I'd like to actually do something for once."

"And I get that feeling. That's why I need to go after her." She pauses, thinking. "I'll... probably need help, although I don't want to put anyone else at risk."

"On a scale of one to ten, how risky does the word 'risk' mean in this situation?"

[Mist she/her]

"It...depends. If you just come along and keep me from dying when I pass out when I portal, pretty low, so maybe 2 or 3. If you're fighting, much higher." T  thought for a minute. "Honestly, if you come along and fight, if you don't surrender it could get dangerous if we lose."

 

[Channelknight Fadran]

"How dangerous? Scale of one to ten."

"It's better to leave it the way it should be."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"I'd rather not leave it that way..."

[Mist she/her]

"And what even is the way it should be?

Honestly, if she has no reason to keep you alive and you fight against her, 9?" I could use the help, but I don't want anyone's injuries on my head.

[Channelknight Fadran]

"So is... fighting and death a thing you guys do often?"

[Condensation she/her]

"Depends. For me, yes."

Mist... who's 9?

 

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Is it hard?"

[Condensation she/her]

Hiiri chuckled. "Some days, yes."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Wow. That's cool." Alex thought about that. "Do you think that... we could live a life like that?"

[Condensation she/her]

"Why would you want to?"

Quote

She's not actually trying to understand. She volunteered for this life and happens to like it. But it's not right for everyone, and she knows that.

 

[Channelknight Fadran]

"It sounds a whole lot more exciting than what I'm currently doing."

[Condensation she/her]

"Exciting isn't always a good thing."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"It's certainly better than living under a tyranny." Alex glanced around, silently praying that there weren't any government listeners or something like that.

[Condensation she/her]

"Then maybe do something against the tyranny. But it's really not safe with us."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"How many multi-universal governments have you tried to overthrow?"

[Condensation she/her]

"More than you think."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Completely overthrow? Something like Fenon?"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Davey, who had taken the safe out of the treehouse to put it somewhere, climbed back up the ladder. "Whatcha' talking about?"

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Overthrowing the government."

[Condensation she/her]

"Which I do not condone," said Hiiri.

She does... she's like Wit in some ways.
