[20:29:56] AM|Hate: Rei: *still waiting in the kitchen*
[20:37:54] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Returns to the kitchen* Well, that's sorted.
[20:38:16] AM|Hate: Rei: Good.
[20:39:45] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I'm ready to go.
[20:40:05] AM|Hate: Rei: Also good!
[20:41:10] AM|Hate: Rei: Do you mind if I use my time powers to speed things up?
[20:41:24] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Not at all.
[20:41:43] AM|Hate: Rei: Right. *offers her hand*
[20:41:59] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Takes her hand*
[20:42:33] AM|Hate: Rei and Dora: *they are in the elevator*
[20:42:39] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *They are there!*
[20:44:44] AM|Hate: Rei: I can't actually bring us up the elevator without time moving.
[20:46:17] AM|Hate: Rei: *14 seconds later, they are at the Hotel*
[20:49:42] AM|Hate: Rei: *takes Dora to the room* Well.
[20:50:24] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Hello, Miss Lovelark.
[20:51:44] AM|Hate: Rei: If it seems like it will take too long, feel free to not do all the work in one go.
[20:51:50] AM|Hate: Tei: *staring into space*
[20:52:01] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Um, is she... responsive at all?
[20:52:17] AM|Hate: Rei: If you talk to her.
[20:52:32] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: But she forgets most of it once it leaves her short-term memory.
[20:52:53] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Goes over to Tei*
[20:53:34] AM|Hate: Tei: *stares at Dora*
[20:53:51] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Hello, Tei.
[20:53:55] AM|Hate: Tei: 'lo.
[20:54:40] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Do you know what day it is?
[20:54:55] AM|Hate: Tei: Um. I think so.
[20:55:02] AM|Hate: Tei: They told me earlier... um...
[20:55:29] AM|Hate: Tei: I think they did, anyway...
[20:56:14] toothsomeCameo: Dora: :/
[20:56:38] AM|Hate: Tei: Um... Sorry, I can't remember.
[21:01:42] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Do you remember coming here?
[21:02:25] AM|Hate: Tei: Maybe? Where is here again?
[21:02:36] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: *Tells her the hotel name*
[21:02:41] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: In Seattle.
[21:02:59] AM|Hate: Tei: Why would I be in Seattle?
[21:06:59] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Shouldn't you know?
[21:07:51] AM|Hate: Tei: I know, but I don't!
[21:08:11] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Well, I actually -don't- know...
[21:08:30] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: She came to Seattle to deliver a message.
[21:09:19] AM|Hate: Rei: My other sisters are going to be attending Cyrus.
[21:09:38] toothsomeCameo: Dora: ...Was that it?
[21:09:46] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Seems like a phone call would have done the trick.
[21:10:40] AM|Hate: Rei: You've never met Dr Sakamoto.
[21:10:53] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Well, no.
[21:11:46] AM|Hate: Rei: Trust me, this kind of thing is very much in character for him.
[21:11:55] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Fair enough :/
[21:12:56] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Come to think of it, she has a good point.
[21:14:24] AM|Hate: Rei: Let's just say there's a reason I didn't question it and move on.
[21:14:34] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Very well.
[21:14:57] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Alright, Tei. Do you have any objections to me going inside your mind? Psychically?
[21:15:08] AM|Hate: Tei: Huh?
[21:15:29] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Rei brought me here to take a look at your mind with my powers.
[21:15:42] AM|Hate: Tei: Oh okay.
[21:15:50] AM|Hate: Tei: Who are you again?
[21:16:00] toothsomeCameo: Dora: My name's Dora.
[21:16:08] AM|Hate: Tei: Okay.
[21:18:00] AM|Hate: Rei: Be careful. She may seem harmless enough, but when she's not like this she's not the most trustworthy of people.
[21:18:29] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yeah, Joss talked my ear off about that.
[21:20:35] AM|Hate: Rei: Good luck.
[21:20:53] toothsomeCameo: Dora: The words "slimy smarmy little demon child" were used.
[21:21:00] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Doesn't fill me with confidence.
[21:21:16] AM|Hate: Rei: Appropriate terminology, except for the child bit.
[21:21:19] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Deep breath.*
[21:21:49] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Her reputation continues to grow.
[21:21:52] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Alright.
[21:22:00] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Sits down on a bed.*
[21:22:50] AM|Hate: Rei: *waits anxiously*
[21:23:20] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *The bubbling purple-and-black glow forms around her hands and Tei's head, and they both fall asleep.*
[21:27:30] AM|Hate: *and suddenly, Dora is no longer sitting on a bed in a shitty hotel room; she's sitting on much, much nicer bed in a much larger room. There are no windows in the room, and no door either; the entire wall is covered in bookshelves. the furnishing of the room, while opulent, also appears to be both incredibly old and very disused; dust covers every surface*
[21:28:00] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Looking around.*
[21:28:52] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Gets up from the bed.*
[21:29:20] AM|Hate: Room: *besides the lack of exits or windows, and the large number of bookshelves, the room seems pretty normal. There is a large wardrobe, a dresser, a writing desk and a bed (duh)*
[21:31:39] AM|Hate: Bookshelves: *jesus that's a shitload of books. there must be thousands of them*
[21:32:07] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Examines book titles.*
[21:32:37] AM|Hate: Books: *thickly bound in leather; none of them have titles on them*
[21:32:42] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Unless this is everything, which seems odd, one of these has to activate a secret door.
[21:32:48] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *pulls one out at random*
[21:33:12] AM|Hate: Secret Door: *right below Dora. Happy landings, Dora!*
[21:33:19] toothsomeCameo: Dora: GAH
[21:33:29] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Flail*
[21:34:01] AM|Hate: Dora: *lands in an almost identical room; specifically, on the bed. there are no bookshelves this time, but still no door*
[21:34:13] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Flop*
[21:34:40] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Ensuing cloud of dust. Cough cough.*
[21:36:27] AM|Hate: Room: *yeah, pretty much exactly the same except no bookshelves*
[21:36:48] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Tries opening the wardrobe.*
[21:37:10] AM|Hate: Wardrobe: *OH GOD SO MANY MOTHS*
[21:37:21] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Ack! *Flail again*
[21:38:14] AM|Hate: Moths: *head towards the wall and cluster around one area*
[21:38:43] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Examines the moth magnet area.*
[21:39:02] AM|Hate: Moth Magnet Area: *yep, it's a secret door*
[21:39:30] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Opens the secret door with the secret door switch.*
[21:40:06] AM|Hate: Secret Door: *you just push it, Dora, there's no switch*
[21:40:14] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Pushes it then.*
[21:40:33] AM|Hate: Door: *opens into a hallway*
[21:40:50] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Hooray, it's not another bedroom.
[21:40:56] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *walk walk tentative walk*
[21:41:53] AM|Hate: Hallway: *there's a window into the room Dora was just in; but it does not show the room Dora was in. for starters, there are bookshelves and for a second there's no dust or moths*
[21:42:26] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Raises an eyebrow, peers into Bedroom #3 a bit more closely.*
[21:42:37] AM|Hate: Window: *a painting*
[21:44:16] AM|Hate: Hallway: *it's also very, very long*
[21:45:06] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Sigh. She is not fond of very long brain hallways right now.*
[21:45:11] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Walkity walk.*
[21:45:33] AM|Hate: Dora: *right into a painting of a hallway. physical comedy!*
[21:45:47] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *FLUMPH*
[21:45:53] toothsomeCameo: Dora: herp
[21:46:02] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Shakes it off.*
[21:46:26] toothsomeCameo: (I love physical comedy. :D)
[21:48:23] AM|Hate: Hallway: *the other way is actually real, Dora, don't worry*
[21:48:40] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Yes she turns around and goes that way.*
[21:49:20] AM|Hate: Trap Door: *also real and right under Dora's feet. into another bedroom with ye!*
[21:49:27] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Gah!
[21:49:45] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Falls facefirst onto the bed.*
[21:50:02] AM|Hate: Tei: *in this one* o_o
[21:50:14] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Muffled* I feel like a pinball.
[21:50:26] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Sits up*
[21:50:28] AM|Hate: Tei: Where did you come from?
[21:51:00] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I fell through the trapdoor.
[21:51:17] AM|Hate: Tei: Not what I meant and you totally know it :I
[21:52:00] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Stands up, attempts to dust off her pants.* I'm visiting your mind with my psychic powers.
[21:52:20] AM|Hate: Tei: Oh, that makes sense. I thought you were some kind of paranoid delusion.
[21:52:33] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Nope!
[21:52:41] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Are you stuck in here?
[21:53:05] AM|Hate: Tei: Yep. No idea how to get out of this room. What's your name?
[21:53:09] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Dora.
[21:53:24] AM|Hate: Tei: Nice to meet you, Dora! I'm Tei!
[21:53:31] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Starts examining this copy of the bedroom.* Hello, Tei.
[21:54:37] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Did you ever get to walk around your... brain-house?
[21:54:43] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Or have you always been here?
[21:55:06] AM|Hate: Tei: Not always, no.
[21:55:13] AM|Hate: Tei: But I'm here for a good reason.
[21:55:40] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Can you tell me what it is? *Examining things that might be secret doors while she talks.*
[21:56:15] AM|Hate: Tei: I'm not the most pleasant memory. Why are you in my brain, anyway?
[21:56:32] AM|Hate: Secret Doors: *none seem in evidence*
[21:56:57] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Tei's not doing too well. I was sent to uncover the problem.
[21:57:11] AM|Hate: Tei: How so?
[21:57:50] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Her memory's trashed.
[21:58:09] AM|Hate: Tei: Like, even the bits that aren't supposed to be trashed?
[21:58:18] toothsomeCameo: Dora: There are bits that are supposed to be trashed?
[21:58:42] AM|Hate: Tei: I'm 218. That's a lot of memories.
[21:59:00] AM|Hate: Tei: It's pretty naive to assume that none of 'em are traumatic.
[21:59:18] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Just establishing that.
[21:59:45] AM|Hate: Tei: Like me, for example. I'm a traumatic memory.
[21:59:54] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Really?
[22:00:01] AM|Hate: Tei: Yep.
[22:00:11] toothsomeCameo: Dora: From how long ago?
[22:00:31] AM|Hate: Tei: Bit longer than 200 years.
[22:00:54] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I probably don't need to know right now, then.
[22:01:24] AM|Hate: Tei: Yeah, I doubt I'm important to whatever's going on.
[22:01:32] AM|Hate: Tei: For now it's best to leave me where I am.
[22:01:45] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It happened in the last month or so, so I figured as much.
[22:01:54] AM|Hate: Tei: Try the wardrobe.
[22:02:02] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Does indeed try the wardrobe.*
[22:02:17] AM|Hate: Wardrobe: *there's a mirror in it*
[22:02:23] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Pokes the mirror*
[22:02:44] AM|Hate: Mirror: *yep, it's actually a door*
[22:03:01] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Time to go through the doormirror!*
[22:04:54] AM|Hate: Doormirror: *leads into a bathroom; it is large and opulent and, again, totally covered in a thick layer of dust*
[22:05:08] AM|Hate: Tei: Oi, try and find the maid and chew her out for not doing her damn job.
[22:05:19] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Is it really her job to dust the inside of your head?
[22:05:20] AM|Hate: Tei: Seriously.
[22:05:35] AM|Hate: Doormirror: *slams shut before Tei can answer*
[22:08:49] AM|Hate: Doormirror: *on the other side, it's just wall; it blends seamlessly into the rest of the wall, almost as if it were never there to begin with*
[22:08:52] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Pokes around in the bathroom.*
[22:09:05] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I hope I'm not gonna have to backtrack.
[22:09:19] toothsomeCameo: Dora: And that I'm not jinxing myself by saying that.
[22:10:41] AM|Hate: Bathroom: *there is a bath. it's big enough to fit, like, eight people and have room for more. and it's not one of those big, public baths, either. just a normal bath*
[22:11:20] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Huge bathtub. *continues poking around*
[22:12:40] AM|Hate: Bathtub: *it takes up like 75% of the room, Dora, you're gonna have to get in eventually*
[22:13:07] toothsomeCameo: Dora: * > Cut to the chase and begin bathtubbing immediately.*
[22:13:14] AM|Hate: Bathtub: *it's the most interesting thing in the room anyway*
[22:13:17] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *First she just stands in it.*
[22:13:32] AM|Hate: Bathtub: *nothing happens*
[22:13:43] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Walks over to the tap and turns on the water*
[22:14:14] AM|Hate: Bathtub: *turns into a slide that leads down*
[22:14:20] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Whee!
[22:14:36] AM|Hate: Bathslide: *dumps dora in yet another bedroom*
[22:14:47] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Again?
[22:15:11] AM|Hate: Bunny: *sitting on the bed*
[22:15:29] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Gives the bunny a look* Am I gonna have to put you in a box?
[22:15:40] AM|Hate: Bunny: What? No. That's dumb.
[22:15:56] AM|Hate: Bunny: *hilariously deep voiced*
[22:16:07] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Oh, good, you talk.
[22:16:18] AM|Hate: Bunny: Yep.
[22:16:20] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I'm Dora. Do you have a name?
[22:16:38] AM|Hate: Bunny: Nope. I'm a bunny. What more do you want from me?
[22:16:56] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I was hoping for some exposition.
[22:17:08] AM|Hate: Bunny: I'm a bunny, dude.
[22:17:28] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Okay, so what are you doing in here if you're just a bunny?
[22:17:32] toothsomeCameo: Dora: That talks.
[22:17:34] AM|Hate: Bunny: I dunno.
[22:17:48] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Have you been here for a while?
[22:18:12] AM|Hate: Bunny: The point is I have nothing to do with what's going on with Tei right now. I guarantee you that I am a random tangent.
[22:18:28] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Fair enough. Do you know the way out of this room?
[22:18:45] AM|Hate: Bunny: Cupboard's a door.
[22:18:51] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Thanks.
[22:18:55] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Opens the cupboard*
[22:19:13] AM|Hate: Cupboard: *into a kitchen. Rei is there furiously cleaning*
[22:19:29] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Through the door and into the kitchen.*
[22:20:00] AM|Hate: Rei: Auuuuggggghhhhhhhh.
[22:20:06] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Hello, Rei.
[22:20:26] AM|Hate: Rei: So much dust. Hello, Dora.
[22:20:40] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Ugh, you said it. Everything's covered in dust.
[22:20:56] AM|Hate: Rei: I'm doing my best, but this place is so big.
[22:21:06] toothsomeCameo: Dora: And hard to navigate.
[22:21:27] AM|Hate: Rei: Tell me about it.
[22:22:53] AM|Hate: Rei: Every month or so a new room pops up. Sometimes more often, sometimes less.
[22:23:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: So, about 2600 rooms, give or take.
[22:24:15] AM|Hate: Rei: I also think that her brain adds and removes rooms at random just to fuck with me.
[22:24:24] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Entirely possible!
[22:24:50] AM|Hate: Rei: Why am I even here?
[22:25:04] toothsomeCameo: Dora: To clean up, I guess?
[22:25:46] AM|Hate: Rei: I guess. I'm certain I'm not ACTUALLY Rei, but what the hell do I represent? Or does she just find the fact that I'm a maid amusing?
[22:26:10] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Well, what do you do around here? More specifically.
[22:27:00] AM|Hate: Rei: I clean. And there's a lot of rooms to clean.
[22:27:24] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Clean up after her messes? Or just clear out the dust?
[22:27:39] AM|Hate: Rei: The dust.
[22:27:45] AM|Hate: Rei: It used to be manageable but then recently ... SOMETHING happened.
[22:27:57] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Tell me about what happened.
[22:28:00] AM|Hate: Rei: And then suddenly there were a hell of a lot more rooms.
[22:29:19] toothsomeCameo: Dora: How many? Roughly?
[22:29:23] AM|Hate: Rei: But I don't know what caused it and it's very frustrating.
[22:29:35] AM|Hate: Rei: I don't know. Hundreds, maybe thousands.
[22:31:01] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Hmmmm.
[22:31:12] AM|Hate: Rei: Maybe more. I honestly can't count.
[22:31:20] toothsomeCameo: Dora: But at least a few hundred?
[22:33:06] AM|Hate: Rei: At least, but it is probably far more.
[22:33:11] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Has she ever added more than a room at a time before?
[22:33:56] AM|Hate: Rei: If she did it was before I came here.
[22:34:38] AM|Hate: Rei: Remember, I'm about a hundred years younger than her.
[22:35:11] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It sounds like she went through a lot of time in a... -compressed- sort of way.
[22:35:42] AM|Hate: Rei: ...
[22:35:51] AM|Hate: Rei: Hrm.
[22:36:01] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Biting her lip in thought.*
[22:36:11] AM|Hate: Rei: That sounds like it would do it. I don't know, though.
[22:36:17] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Like someone put her on fast forward...
[22:36:25] AM|Hate: Rei: I can't help you more. I'm just a figment of Tei's imagination.
[22:36:35] toothsomeCameo: Dora: That's fine.
[22:36:42] toothsomeCameo: Dora: You've been very helpful
[22:36:56] AM|Hate: Rei: You're very welcome.
[22:38:17] AM|Hate: Rei: There's a door over there. It's just a normal door.
[22:38:38] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yessssssss
[22:38:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Goes through the Normal Door.*
[22:39:12] AM|Hate: Rei: Well, not every door is ridiculous and wacky, or else the ones that are stop being ridiculous and wacky.
[22:39:30] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It would become just part of the routine.
[22:39:49] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Albeit a part that's inconvenient and annoying.
[22:40:01] AM|Hate: Normal Door: *leads into a bedroom. again*
[22:40:21] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Does she just copy and paste these bloody things?
[22:41:12] AM|Hate: Tei: Hey, you try coming up with 17,000 unique rooms.
[22:41:34] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Seventeen thousand?
[22:41:52] AM|Hate: Tei: At least, yeah.
[22:42:05] AM|Hate: Tei: I only put effort into the important ones.
[22:42:09] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Such as?
[22:43:09] AM|Hate: Tei: Like when really important things happen. There's a few exceptions. Like that one with the traumatic memory trapped in.
[22:43:47] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Is there more than one of those? Because I met one already, and she was just in another of these bedrooms.
[22:44:14] AM|Hate: Tei: She's the big one, and I'm pretty sure she's the only real exception that I can think of.
[22:45:08] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Go on.
[22:45:12] AM|Hate: Tei: But, like, that bathroom? Was part of the London Blitz.
[22:45:20] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Eyebrow raise*
[22:45:33] AM|Hate: Tei: So was the kitchen. That's when Rei was born.
[22:45:43] AM|Hate: Tei: Made. Whatever.
[22:45:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Sucky time to be born.
[22:45:56] AM|Hate: Tei: She died at least once, I think.
[22:46:52] AM|Hate: Tei: So. Did you figure out what happened yet?
[22:48:41] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It was at least a thousand years. You had more than a millennium crammed into your head in a short time.
[22:49:16] AM|Hate: Tei: Good job! You're a smart kid, ain't 'cha.
[22:49:19] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I am.
[22:49:33] AM|Hate: Tei: Way smarter than that troll chick.
[22:50:25] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Which one, Joss?
[22:50:48] AM|Hate: Tei: I only met the one.
[22:50:57] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Definitely Joss.
[22:52:01] AM|Hate: Tei: Yeah.
[22:53:13] AM|Hate: Tei: I think that's the one. Even in here, it's hard to remember everything.
[22:54:09] AM|Hate: Tei: I've got a lot of nothing to sort through to find information.
[23:02:04] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yeah, I can see how it'd get in your way. Especially given how much of a maze it is in here.
[23:02:10] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Are you another memory?
[23:02:21] AM|Hate: Tei: Yep. A more relevant one, too.
[23:02:37] toothsomeCameo: Dora: What are you a memory of?
[23:02:50] AM|Hate: Tei: I don't know exactly what happened.
[23:03:05] AM|Hate: Tei: But I'm pretty sure I'm the memory of whatever caused this.
[23:03:11] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Give me your best approximation.
[23:03:31] AM|Hate: Tei: Well I could. But that's too easy for you
[23:03:38] toothsomeCameo: Dora: :| Naturally.
[23:03:57] AM|Hate: Tei: Hey, you're a smart kid. I figure you should be able to figure it out by now.
[23:04:19] AM|Hate: Tei: You know everything you need to, I think. And I've been dropping not-so-subtle hints.
[23:04:29] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Did you make all those new rooms?
[23:04:51] AM|Hate: Tei: I'm just a memory.
[23:05:58] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Fine, whatever.
[23:07:25] AM|Hate: Tei: Hey, you went into this expecting me to be unhelpful.
[23:07:52] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yeah, you have a point.
[23:09:13] toothsomeCameo: Dora: So. Tei's punishment for pissing off Henry and Joss was having a thousand years and change's worth of nothing stuck into her head?
[23:09:50] AM|Hate: Tei: You're getting close!
[23:09:58] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Seems like overkill.
[23:10:09] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Pretty massive overkill.
[23:10:17] AM|Hate: Tei: I think this is as much as you can get out of me right now.
[23:10:34] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Alright. Gonna point me to the door?
[23:10:34] AM|Hate: Tei: You need more information. Go ask Rei.
[23:10:46] toothsomeCameo: Dora: The same Rei I was talking to?
[23:11:16] AM|Hate: Tei: No, not that Rei. The real Rei.
[23:11:31] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Alright.
[23:11:59] AM|Hate: Tei: Good luck.
[23:12:43] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *She knows a scene transition when she sees one. Time to blow this popsicle stand.*
[23:12:52] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Cuts the connection, wakes up.*
[23:13:01] AM|Hate: Rei: What did you find out?
[23:13:34] toothsomeCameo: Dora: She's got over a thousand years of nothing taking up space in her head.
[23:13:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: And I think it was a punishment for pissing off Henry and Joss.
[23:13:59] AM|Hate: Rei: What?
[23:14:13] AM|Hate: Rei: How on earth did that happen...
[23:14:15] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I think the time must have been artificially inserted.
[23:15:29] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Because the alternative involves time travel, and brainwashing and mind control are easier to pull off.
[23:15:41] AM|Hate: Rei: Usually she doesn't get punished at all, so I insisted she actually suffer some consequences for being rude for no good reason.
[23:16:26] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Bit of an overreaction, don't you think?!
[23:16:57] AM|Hate: Rei: Well, I gave the suggestion that she be sent to her room for a year or so, but not a thousand!
[23:17:19] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: So Doctor Sakamoto came up with this on his own?
[23:17:31] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Does the man have no concept of proportion?!
[23:17:36] AM|Hate: Rei: I don't think it could have possibly been intentional.
[23:18:34] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: *Looks highly dubious* Well, I've never met him. You're the expert.
[23:18:47] AM|Hate: Rei: He's not malicious at all.
[23:18:57] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: What about insane?
[23:19:29] AM|Hate: Rei: He's old. I don't know exactly how much, but at least three hundred.
[23:19:47] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Does it affect him?
[23:19:59] AM|Hate: Rei: He's... somewhat absent minded.
[23:20:35] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: I'M "somewhat absent-minded". This is grossly negligent at best.
[23:20:45] AM|Hate: Rei: Very absent minded.
[23:21:03] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I might be able to improve her condition but I don't have a lot of experience with making changes and it's like a maze inside her head.
[23:21:08] toothsomeCameo: Dora: A really dusty maze.
[23:21:20] AM|Hate: Rei: Enh?
[23:21:46] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I can change minds as well as explore them.
[23:21:55] AM|Hate: Rei: No, the dust thing.
[23:22:07] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Damn near everything was covered in dust.
[23:22:19] AM|Hate: Rei: *slight twitch* Ugh.
[23:22:42] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Imaginary dust is not any more fun to get in your face than real dust.
[23:22:59] AM|Hate: Rei: Blech. *as a maid, she cannot abide a mess*
[23:23:07] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Blech is right.
[23:24:11] AM|Hate: Rei: ... Anyway, the best I can fathom as to what happened is something like this. I told Dr Sakamoto to punish Tei by sending her to her room for a year or so. Somewhat extreme, but this is a girl who has never been punished that I know of in her life.
[23:24:28] toothsomeCameo: Dora: That explains a few things.
[23:25:46] AM|Hate: Rei: And then he thought that he couldn't manage without her for a year so he came up with... a time compression machine or something. Like... a year a minute.
[23:26:24] AM|Hate: Rei: And then went to do something else while she was in it in order to pass the time, and... got distracted.
[23:26:56] toothsomeCameo: Dora: And left her in there all day.
[23:27:20] AM|Hate: Rei: *wince* That... that would explain it. *fret*
[23:27:24] toothsomeCameo: Dora: That fits. She said there was one room per month - give or take - and there were seventeen thousand new rooms.
[23:28:23] AM|Hate: Rei: You're sure you can improve her condition.
[23:28:48] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I don't have a hell of a lot of practice with altering things.
[23:28:58] AM|Hate: Rei: Do what you can.
[23:29:36] toothsomeCameo: Dora: What if I make it worse?
[23:29:54] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: That would be a difficult proposition.
[23:30:11] AM|Hate: Rei: I don't think that she can get much worse than she is without becoming straight-up braindead.
[23:30:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I didn't find the real Tei. Just memories of her.
[23:30:59] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Also one of you, Rei.
[23:31:04] AM|Hate: Rei: Really?
[23:31:21] AM|Hate: (Bunny: And me. No respect, I tells ya'.)
[23:31:32] toothsomeCameo: Dora: And a random bunny that sounded like a plumber from Brooklyn.
[23:31:51] AM|Hate: Rei: What.
[23:31:59] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: What?
[23:32:27] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It explicitly told me it was a random tangent.
[23:32:32] toothsomeCameo: Dora: She probably has a lot of them.
[23:32:47] AM|Hate: Rei: I would assume so o_O;
[23:33:01] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Why Brooklyn?
[23:33:11] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I dunno, to make it sound more like a tough guy probably.
[23:33:28] AM|Hate: Rei: ... This is silly.
[23:33:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yeah. We're getting distracted.
[23:34:36] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Alright. I'm gonna go back in.
[23:34:47] AM|Hate: Rei: Okay.
[23:34:58] AM|Hate: Rei: Good luck.
[23:35:34] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Does the brainy thing a second time. Back into the brainhouse.*
[23:35:56] AM|Hate: Tei: Hi, again!
[23:36:13] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Am I back where I was, then?
[23:36:40] AM|Hate: Tei: I suppose so? Kind of sucks that you've backtracked.
[23:37:00] toothsomeCameo: Dora: So, you're Traumatic Memory Tei?
[23:37:14] AM|Hate: Tei: Yep! Nice to see you again.
[23:37:39] toothsomeCameo: Dora: You too.
[23:37:55] AM|Hate: Tei: Did you find out what happened?
[23:38:05] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yeah, we pieced it together.
[23:38:26] AM|Hate: Tei: What happened?
[23:38:58] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Time compression. A day went past for everyone else, but for you it was around 1400 years.
[23:39:07] AM|Hate: Tei: o_o
[23:39:11] AM|Hate: Tei: Seriously?!
[23:39:16] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Seriously.
[23:39:45] AM|Hate: Tei: Wow. And I thought that I was a shitty memory.
[23:40:04] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Raises an eyebrow.*
[23:40:27] AM|Hate: Tei: And I'm a pretty shitty memory, so that's saying a lot.
[23:41:54] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I'm still not going to pry.
[23:42:10] AM|Hate: Tei: I don't particularly mind.
[23:42:51] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It seems rude to poke around someone's irrelevant traumatic memories. Would Tei herself mind?
[23:43:16] AM|Hate: Tei: She doesn't remember.
[23:43:38] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Well.
[23:43:46] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Tell me, then.
[23:43:51] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It might help.
[23:45:14] AM|Hate: Tei: Well, when Tei was very young, she lived in China for a period of time. She's... never been back since. For a good reason.
[23:45:25] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Raises eyebrows*
[23:45:31] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Did you die?
[23:45:52] AM|Hate: Tei: Worse.
[23:46:16] AM|Hate: Tei: I'm immortal, remember?
[23:46:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Well, apparently you and Rei can come back from the dead.
[23:47:01] AM|Hate: Tei: Yeah, that's about it.
[23:49:25] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Worse than murder, then. Torture?
[23:50:02] AM|Hate: Tei: Closer.
[23:50:21] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Rape? I'm running out of ideas.
[23:51:14] AM|Hate: Tei: Ding ding ding.
[23:51:24] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Wait, really?
[23:51:42] AM|Hate: Tei: Yep. That's me.
[23:51:55] royalFawe: (Gaaaaaaaaah damn you TVTropes.)
[23:52:05] toothsomeCameo: (It is a black hole.)
[23:52:26] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Do... Um. Do you want a hug?
[23:52:34] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Oh god she has no idea how to respond.*
[23:52:49] AM|Hate: Tei: I wouldn't say no to one.
[23:53:28] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Hugs Memory Tei.*
[23:53:29] AM|Hate: Tei: *seems more adorable than the more recent Tei for some reason*
[23:53:33] AM|Hate: Tei: ^_^
[23:56:19] AM|Hate: Tei: Um, anyway. If you've met a more recent Tei, that's why she's like that.
[23:57:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I haven't met her personally.
[23:59:55] AM|Hate: Tei: It's for the best. People cope with trauma in different ways. I coped by becoming a con artist.
[00:03:11] AM|Hate: Tei: I used to be more... genuinely pleasant.
[00:06:48] toothsomeCameo: Dora: The only you I've met, on the outside, is zombie you.
[00:07:09] AM|Hate: Tei: But you've heard of me, right?
[00:07:15] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Lots of horror stories.
[00:07:33] AM|Hate: Tei: And you met a more recent memory of me?
[00:08:30] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yeah. She was a little rude, but not that bad.
[00:09:15] AM|Hate: Tei: Probably because you had something she wanted.
[00:09:21] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Fair enough.
[00:09:37] AM|Hate: Tei: I used to be less like her and more like me.
[00:09:59] toothsomeCameo: (*Linkin Park begins to play*)
[00:10:12] AM|Hate: Tei: But now I'm locked in a room.
[00:10:21] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Do you want out?
[00:10:24] royalFawe: (Crawling in your skin.)
[00:10:53] toothsomeCameo: (I was actually thinking of "Numb".)
[00:11:02] AM|Hate: Tei: It's very boring in here.
[00:11:13] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Takes out her faithful crowbar.*
[00:12:41] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It would be easier if I had a saw, but I'll try to make this work. *Bashes the pointy end into the wall.*
[00:12:54] AM|Hate: Tei: ._.
[00:13:08] AM|Hate: Wall: *falls apart pretty easily*
[00:13:27] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Yay! What does it open onto?*
[00:14:51] AM|Hate: Rei: D: what did you do?
[00:14:58] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Busted down the wall.
[00:15:00] AM|Hate: Tei: Hi, Rei!
[00:15:09] AM|Hate: Rei: I'm going to have to clean that up :(
[00:15:21] AM|Hate: Rei: Why would you do that :<
[00:15:40] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I thought it might help if I let this Tei out.
[00:15:56] toothsomeCameo: Dora: And I'm trying to make this place easier to navigate.
[00:16:02] AM|Hate: Tei: You could have just taken me through the door, you know.
[00:16:15] AM|Hate: Rei: Fair enough.
[00:16:22] toothsomeCameo: Dora: True.
[00:17:35] AM|Hate: Rei: Do you really think it will help?
[00:17:45] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I'm not sure.
[00:18:04] AM|Hate: Tei: It can't hurt.
[00:19:45] AM|Hate: Rei: Still, I think it's best you not change too much.
[00:19:53] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Probably not...
[00:20:07] AM|Hate: Tei: You've already let me out!
[00:20:19] AM|Hate: Rei: Yes, best to see the effect that had first.
[00:20:40] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Hopefully it won't make things worse.
[00:21:27] AM|Hate: Tei: I should hope not!
[00:23:13] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Maybe just establishing a map, or locating her consciousness...
[00:23:22] toothsomeCameo: Dora: One of those things would probably help with the other.
[00:23:44] AM|Hate: Tei: Good luck!
[00:24:11] AM|Hate: Rei: Yes. Good luck.
[00:26:49] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Hmmmm.
[00:30:06] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Don't suppose either of you know where to find her?
[00:30:42] AM|Hate: Rei: She must be very deep in.
[00:30:53] AM|Hate: Tei: It, um, could take a while.
[00:31:22] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Aw, man...
[00:35:49] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I don't have all day.
[00:36:07] AM|Hate: Rei: Hrm.
[00:36:22] AM|Hate: Rei: Well, it might be best to see what the changes you've made have resulted in.
[00:36:49] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Changing one variable at a time. Good scientific principle.
[00:40:29] AM|Hate: Rei: It's common sense.
[00:44:09] toothsomeCameo: Dora: See you later.
[00:44:15] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I'll undoubtedly be back.
[00:46:05] AM|Hate: Tei: Thanks for letting me out!
[00:47:13] toothsomeCameo: Dora: You're welcome.
[00:48:48] AM|Hate: Rei: Thank you for attempting aid.
[00:48:58] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Nods*
[00:49:31] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Bye for now.
[00:49:36] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Back to the real world!*
[00:49:56] AM|Hate: Rei: Hello again.
[00:50:13] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Looks over at Tei*
[00:50:19] AM|Hate: Tei: *waves*
[00:50:28] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Blink* That's an improvement.
[00:50:56] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I let out a repressed memory, but it was a pretty old one that didn't have much to do with what's happening now.
[00:51:36] AM|Hate: Tei: You're... Dora, right?
[00:51:41] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yeah.
[00:52:19] AM|Hate: Tei: And you're... Uh... begins with a g?
[00:52:27] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Gareth.
[00:52:35] AM|Hate: Tei: And you're Rei. I know you.
[00:54:28] AM|Hate: Tei: Right. I think I can handle this.
[00:55:06] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Handle what, exactly?
[00:55:49] AM|Hate: Tei: Bluh, it's hard to put it into words.
[00:56:09] AM|Hate: Tei: I... think my brain's working a bit better, I guess, is what I want to say.
[00:56:16] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Fantastic!
[00:56:36] AM|Hate: Tei: So... should I just, like, stay in Seattle for now?
[00:56:48] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: I think you're entirely correct. You're acting far more lucid.
[00:57:05] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Do you have a place to stay?
[00:57:15] AM|Hate: Tei: Here, I guess?
[00:57:28] AM|Hate: Tei: I, uh, can't think of anywhere else.
[00:57:49] AM|Hate: Rei: She's not welcome in the cloneplex. And I'd still rather her not wander Seattle alone.
[00:58:09] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Well, yeah, either one of those would be worse.
[00:58:52] AM|Hate: Rei: So, yes, for now stay here. Call me if you need anything.
[00:58:57] AM|Hate: Tei: *nod nod*
[00:59:26] toothsomeCameo: Dora: If you want me to help some more... well, you know where to find me.
[01:00:09] AM|Hate: Rei: *sternly* also, don't spend too much money on room service. I have to pay and I don't have infinite money.
[01:02:00] AM|Hate: Tei: I wasn't gonna!
[01:05:19] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Departs the hotel room*
[20:29:56] AM|Hate: Rei: *still waiting in the kitchen*
[20:37:54] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Returns to the kitchen* Well, that's sorted.
[20:38:16] AM|Hate: Rei: Good.
[20:39:45] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I'm ready to go.
[20:40:05] AM|Hate: Rei: Also good!
[20:41:10] AM|Hate: Rei: Do you mind if I use my time powers to speed things up?
[20:41:24] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Not at all.
[20:41:43] AM|Hate: Rei: Right. *offers her hand*
[20:41:59] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Takes her hand*
[20:42:33] AM|Hate: Rei and Dora: *they are in the elevator*
[20:42:39] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *They are there!*
[20:44:44] AM|Hate: Rei: I can't actually bring us up the elevator without time moving.
[20:46:17] AM|Hate: Rei: *14 seconds later, they are at the Hotel*
[20:49:42] AM|Hate: Rei: *takes Dora to the room* Well.
[20:50:24] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Hello, Miss Lovelark.
[20:51:44] AM|Hate: Rei: If it seems like it will take too long, feel free to not do all the work in one go.
[20:51:50] AM|Hate: Tei: *staring into space*
[20:52:01] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Um, is she... responsive at all?
[20:52:17] AM|Hate: Rei: If you talk to her.
[20:52:32] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: But she forgets most of it once it leaves her short-term memory.
[20:52:53] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Goes over to Tei*
[20:53:34] AM|Hate: Tei: *stares at Dora*
[20:53:51] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Hello, Tei.
[20:53:55] AM|Hate: Tei: 'lo.
[20:54:40] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Do you know what day it is?
[20:54:55] AM|Hate: Tei: Um. I think so.
[20:55:02] AM|Hate: Tei: They told me earlier... um...
[20:55:29] AM|Hate: Tei: I think they did, anyway...
[20:56:14] toothsomeCameo: Dora: :/
[20:56:38] AM|Hate: Tei: Um... Sorry, I can't remember.
[21:01:42] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Do you remember coming here?
[21:02:25] AM|Hate: Tei: Maybe? Where is here again?
[21:02:36] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: *Tells her the hotel name*
[21:02:41] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: In Seattle.
[21:02:59] AM|Hate: Tei: Why would I be in Seattle?
[21:06:59] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Shouldn't you know?
[21:07:51] AM|Hate: Tei: I know, but I don't!
[21:08:11] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Well, I actually -don't- know...
[21:08:30] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: She came to Seattle to deliver a message.
[21:09:19] AM|Hate: Rei: My other sisters are going to be attending Cyrus.
[21:09:38] toothsomeCameo: Dora: ...Was that it?
[21:09:46] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Seems like a phone call would have done the trick.
[21:10:40] AM|Hate: Rei: You've never met Dr Sakamoto.
[21:10:53] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Well, no.
[21:11:46] AM|Hate: Rei: Trust me, this kind of thing is very much in character for him.
[21:11:55] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Fair enough :/
[21:12:56] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Come to think of it, she has a good point.
[21:14:24] AM|Hate: Rei: Let's just say there's a reason I didn't question it and move on.
[21:14:34] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Very well.
[21:14:57] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Alright, Tei. Do you have any objections to me going inside your mind? Psychically?
[21:15:08] AM|Hate: Tei: Huh?
[21:15:29] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Rei brought me here to take a look at your mind with my powers.
[21:15:42] AM|Hate: Tei: Oh okay.
[21:15:50] AM|Hate: Tei: Who are you again?
[21:16:00] toothsomeCameo: Dora: My name's Dora.
[21:16:08] AM|Hate: Tei: Okay.
[21:18:00] AM|Hate: Rei: Be careful. She may seem harmless enough, but when she's not like this she's not the most trustworthy of people.
[21:18:29] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yeah, Joss talked my ear off about that.
[21:20:35] AM|Hate: Rei: Good luck.
[21:20:53] toothsomeCameo: Dora: The words "slimy smarmy little demon child" were used.
[21:21:00] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Doesn't fill me with confidence.
[21:21:16] AM|Hate: Rei: Appropriate terminology, except for the child bit.
[21:21:19] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Deep breath.*
[21:21:49] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Her reputation continues to grow.
[21:21:52] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Alright.
[21:22:00] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Sits down on a bed.*
[21:22:50] AM|Hate: Rei: *waits anxiously*
[21:23:20] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *The bubbling purple-and-black glow forms around her hands and Tei's head, and they both fall asleep.*
[21:27:30] AM|Hate: *and suddenly, Dora is no longer sitting on a bed in a shitty hotel room; she's sitting on much, much nicer bed in a much larger room. There are no windows in the room, and no door either; the entire wall is covered in bookshelves. the furnishing of the room, while opulent, also appears to be both incredibly old and very disused; dust covers every surface*
[21:28:00] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Looking around.*
[21:28:52] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Gets up from the bed.*
[21:29:20] AM|Hate: Room: *besides the lack of exits or windows, and the large number of bookshelves, the room seems pretty normal. There is a large wardrobe, a dresser, a writing desk and a bed (duh)*
[21:31:39] AM|Hate: Bookshelves: *jesus that's a shitload of books. there must be thousands of them*
[21:32:07] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Examines book titles.*
[21:32:37] AM|Hate: Books: *thickly bound in leather; none of them have titles on them*
[21:32:42] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Unless this is everything, which seems odd, one of these has to activate a secret door.
[21:32:48] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *pulls one out at random*
[21:33:12] AM|Hate: Secret Door: *right below Dora. Happy landings, Dora!*
[21:33:19] toothsomeCameo: Dora: GAH
[21:33:29] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Flail*
[21:34:01] AM|Hate: Dora: *lands in an almost identical room; specifically, on the bed. there are no bookshelves this time, but still no door*
[21:34:13] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Flop*
[21:34:40] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Ensuing cloud of dust. Cough cough.*
[21:36:27] AM|Hate: Room: *yeah, pretty much exactly the same except no bookshelves*
[21:36:48] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Tries opening the wardrobe.*
[21:37:10] AM|Hate: Wardrobe: *OH GOD SO MANY MOTHS*
[21:37:21] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Ack! *Flail again*
[21:38:14] AM|Hate: Moths: *head towards the wall and cluster around one area*
[21:38:43] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Examines the moth magnet area.*
[21:39:02] AM|Hate: Moth Magnet Area: *yep, it's a secret door*
[21:39:30] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Opens the secret door with the secret door switch.*
[21:40:06] AM|Hate: Secret Door: *you just push it, Dora, there's no switch*
[21:40:14] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Pushes it then.*
[21:40:33] AM|Hate: Door: *opens into a hallway*
[21:40:50] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Hooray, it's not another bedroom.
[21:40:56] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *walk walk tentative walk*
[21:41:53] AM|Hate: Hallway: *there's a window into the room Dora was just in; but it does not show the room Dora was in. for starters, there are bookshelves and for a second there's no dust or moths*
[21:42:26] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Raises an eyebrow, peers into Bedroom #3 a bit more closely.*
[21:42:37] AM|Hate: Window: *a painting*
[21:44:16] AM|Hate: Hallway: *it's also very, very long*
[21:45:06] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Sigh. She is not fond of very long brain hallways right now.*
[21:45:11] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Walkity walk.*
[21:45:33] AM|Hate: Dora: *right into a painting of a hallway. physical comedy!*
[21:45:47] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *FLUMPH*
[21:45:53] toothsomeCameo: Dora: herp
[21:46:02] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Shakes it off.*
[21:46:26] toothsomeCameo: (I love physical comedy. :D)
[21:48:23] AM|Hate: Hallway: *the other way is actually real, Dora, don't worry*
[21:48:40] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Yes she turns around and goes that way.*
[21:49:20] AM|Hate: Trap Door: *also real and right under Dora's feet. into another bedroom with ye!*
[21:49:27] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Gah!
[21:49:45] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Falls facefirst onto the bed.*
[21:50:02] AM|Hate: Tei: *in this one* o_o
[21:50:14] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Muffled* I feel like a pinball.
[21:50:26] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Sits up*
[21:50:28] AM|Hate: Tei: Where did you come from?
[21:51:00] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I fell through the trapdoor.
[21:51:17] AM|Hate: Tei: Not what I meant and you totally know it :I
[21:52:00] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Stands up, attempts to dust off her pants.* I'm visiting your mind with my psychic powers.
[21:52:20] AM|Hate: Tei: Oh, that makes sense. I thought you were some kind of paranoid delusion.
[21:52:33] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Nope!
[21:52:41] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Are you stuck in here?
[21:53:05] AM|Hate: Tei: Yep. No idea how to get out of this room. What's your name?
[21:53:09] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Dora.
[21:53:24] AM|Hate: Tei: Nice to meet you, Dora! I'm Tei!
[21:53:31] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Starts examining this copy of the bedroom.* Hello, Tei.
[21:54:37] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Did you ever get to walk around your... brain-house?
[21:54:43] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Or have you always been here?
[21:55:06] AM|Hate: Tei: Not always, no.
[21:55:13] AM|Hate: Tei: But I'm here for a good reason.
[21:55:40] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Can you tell me what it is? *Examining things that might be secret doors while she talks.*
[21:56:15] AM|Hate: Tei: I'm not the most pleasant memory. Why are you in my brain, anyway?
[21:56:32] AM|Hate: Secret Doors: *none seem in evidence*
[21:56:57] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Tei's not doing too well. I was sent to uncover the problem.
[21:57:11] AM|Hate: Tei: How so?
[21:57:50] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Her memory's trashed.
[21:58:09] AM|Hate: Tei: Like, even the bits that aren't supposed to be trashed?
[21:58:18] toothsomeCameo: Dora: There are bits that are supposed to be trashed?
[21:58:42] AM|Hate: Tei: I'm 218. That's a lot of memories.
[21:59:00] AM|Hate: Tei: It's pretty naive to assume that none of 'em are traumatic.
[21:59:18] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Just establishing that.
[21:59:45] AM|Hate: Tei: Like me, for example. I'm a traumatic memory.
[21:59:54] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Really?
[22:00:01] AM|Hate: Tei: Yep.
[22:00:11] toothsomeCameo: Dora: From how long ago?
[22:00:31] AM|Hate: Tei: Bit longer than 200 years.
[22:00:54] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I probably don't need to know right now, then.
[22:01:24] AM|Hate: Tei: Yeah, I doubt I'm important to whatever's going on.
[22:01:32] AM|Hate: Tei: For now it's best to leave me where I am.
[22:01:45] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It happened in the last month or so, so I figured as much.
[22:01:54] AM|Hate: Tei: Try the wardrobe.
[22:02:02] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Does indeed try the wardrobe.*
[22:02:17] AM|Hate: Wardrobe: *there's a mirror in it*
[22:02:23] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Pokes the mirror*
[22:02:44] AM|Hate: Mirror: *yep, it's actually a door*
[22:03:01] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Time to go through the doormirror!*
[22:04:54] AM|Hate: Doormirror: *leads into a bathroom; it is large and opulent and, again, totally covered in a thick layer of dust*
[22:05:08] AM|Hate: Tei: Oi, try and find the maid and chew her out for not doing her damn job.
[22:05:19] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Is it really her job to dust the inside of your head?
[22:05:20] AM|Hate: Tei: Seriously.
[22:05:35] AM|Hate: Doormirror: *slams shut before Tei can answer*
[22:08:49] AM|Hate: Doormirror: *on the other side, it's just wall; it blends seamlessly into the rest of the wall, almost as if it were never there to begin with*
[22:08:52] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Pokes around in the bathroom.*
[22:09:05] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I hope I'm not gonna have to backtrack.
[22:09:19] toothsomeCameo: Dora: And that I'm not jinxing myself by saying that.
[22:10:41] AM|Hate: Bathroom: *there is a bath. it's big enough to fit, like, eight people and have room for more. and it's not one of those big, public baths, either. just a normal bath*
[22:11:20] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Huge bathtub. *continues poking around*
[22:12:40] AM|Hate: Bathtub: *it takes up like 75% of the room, Dora, you're gonna have to get in eventually*
[22:13:07] toothsomeCameo: Dora: * > Cut to the chase and begin bathtubbing immediately.*
[22:13:14] AM|Hate: Bathtub: *it's the most interesting thing in the room anyway*
[22:13:17] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *First she just stands in it.*
[22:13:32] AM|Hate: Bathtub: *nothing happens*
[22:13:43] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Walks over to the tap and turns on the water*
[22:14:14] AM|Hate: Bathtub: *turns into a slide that leads down*
[22:14:20] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Whee!
[22:14:36] AM|Hate: Bathslide: *dumps dora in yet another bedroom*
[22:14:47] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Again?
[22:15:11] AM|Hate: Bunny: *sitting on the bed*
[22:15:29] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Gives the bunny a look* Am I gonna have to put you in a box?
[22:15:40] AM|Hate: Bunny: What? No. That's dumb.
[22:15:56] AM|Hate: Bunny: *hilariously deep voiced*
[22:16:07] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Oh, good, you talk.
[22:16:18] AM|Hate: Bunny: Yep.
[22:16:20] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I'm Dora. Do you have a name?
[22:16:38] AM|Hate: Bunny: Nope. I'm a bunny. What more do you want from me?
[22:16:56] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I was hoping for some exposition.
[22:17:08] AM|Hate: Bunny: I'm a bunny, dude.
[22:17:28] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Okay, so what are you doing in here if you're just a bunny?
[22:17:32] toothsomeCameo: Dora: That talks.
[22:17:34] AM|Hate: Bunny: I dunno.
[22:17:48] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Have you been here for a while?
[22:18:12] AM|Hate: Bunny: The point is I have nothing to do with what's going on with Tei right now. I guarantee you that I am a random tangent.
[22:18:28] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Fair enough. Do you know the way out of this room?
[22:18:45] AM|Hate: Bunny: Cupboard's a door.
[22:18:51] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Thanks.
[22:18:55] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Opens the cupboard*
[22:19:13] AM|Hate: Cupboard: *into a kitchen. Rei is there furiously cleaning*
[22:19:29] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Through the door and into the kitchen.*
[22:20:00] AM|Hate: Rei: Auuuuggggghhhhhhhh.
[22:20:06] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Hello, Rei.
[22:20:26] AM|Hate: Rei: So much dust. Hello, Dora.
[22:20:40] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Ugh, you said it. Everything's covered in dust.
[22:20:56] AM|Hate: Rei: I'm doing my best, but this place is so big.
[22:21:06] toothsomeCameo: Dora: And hard to navigate.
[22:21:27] AM|Hate: Rei: Tell me about it.
[22:22:53] AM|Hate: Rei: Every month or so a new room pops up. Sometimes more often, sometimes less.
[22:23:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: So, about 2600 rooms, give or take.
[22:24:15] AM|Hate: Rei: I also think that her brain adds and removes rooms at random just to fuck with me.
[22:24:24] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Entirely possible!
[22:24:50] AM|Hate: Rei: Why am I even here?
[22:25:04] toothsomeCameo: Dora: To clean up, I guess?
[22:25:46] AM|Hate: Rei: I guess. I'm certain I'm not ACTUALLY Rei, but what the hell do I represent? Or does she just find the fact that I'm a maid amusing?
[22:26:10] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Well, what do you do around here? More specifically.
[22:27:00] AM|Hate: Rei: I clean. And there's a lot of rooms to clean.
[22:27:24] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Clean up after her messes? Or just clear out the dust?
[22:27:39] AM|Hate: Rei: The dust.
[22:27:45] AM|Hate: Rei: It used to be manageable but then recently ... SOMETHING happened.
[22:27:57] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Tell me about what happened.
[22:28:00] AM|Hate: Rei: And then suddenly there were a hell of a lot more rooms.
[22:29:19] toothsomeCameo: Dora: How many? Roughly?
[22:29:23] AM|Hate: Rei: But I don't know what caused it and it's very frustrating.
[22:29:35] AM|Hate: Rei: I don't know. Hundreds, maybe thousands.
[22:31:01] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Hmmmm.
[22:31:12] AM|Hate: Rei: Maybe more. I honestly can't count.
[22:31:20] toothsomeCameo: Dora: But at least a few hundred?
[22:33:06] AM|Hate: Rei: At least, but it is probably far more.
[22:33:11] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Has she ever added more than a room at a time before?
[22:33:56] AM|Hate: Rei: If she did it was before I came here.
[22:34:38] AM|Hate: Rei: Remember, I'm about a hundred years younger than her.
[22:35:11] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It sounds like she went through a lot of time in a... -compressed- sort of way.
[22:35:42] AM|Hate: Rei: ...
[22:35:51] AM|Hate: Rei: Hrm.
[22:36:01] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Biting her lip in thought.*
[22:36:11] AM|Hate: Rei: That sounds like it would do it. I don't know, though.
[22:36:17] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Like someone put her on fast forward...
[22:36:25] AM|Hate: Rei: I can't help you more. I'm just a figment of Tei's imagination.
[22:36:35] toothsomeCameo: Dora: That's fine.
[22:36:42] toothsomeCameo: Dora: You've been very helpful
[22:36:56] AM|Hate: Rei: You're very welcome.
[22:38:17] AM|Hate: Rei: There's a door over there. It's just a normal door.
[22:38:38] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yessssssss
[22:38:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Goes through the Normal Door.*
[22:39:12] AM|Hate: Rei: Well, not every door is ridiculous and wacky, or else the ones that are stop being ridiculous and wacky.
[22:39:30] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It would become just part of the routine.
[22:39:49] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Albeit a part that's inconvenient and annoying.
[22:40:01] AM|Hate: Normal Door: *leads into a bedroom. again*
[22:40:21] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Does she just copy and paste these bloody things?
[22:41:12] AM|Hate: Tei: Hey, you try coming up with 17,000 unique rooms.
[22:41:34] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Seventeen thousand?
[22:41:52] AM|Hate: Tei: At least, yeah.
[22:42:05] AM|Hate: Tei: I only put effort into the important ones.
[22:42:09] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Such as?
[22:43:09] AM|Hate: Tei: Like when really important things happen. There's a few exceptions. Like that one with the traumatic memory trapped in.
[22:43:47] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Is there more than one of those? Because I met one already, and she was just in another of these bedrooms.
[22:44:14] AM|Hate: Tei: She's the big one, and I'm pretty sure she's the only real exception that I can think of.
[22:45:08] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Go on.
[22:45:12] AM|Hate: Tei: But, like, that bathroom? Was part of the London Blitz.
[22:45:20] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Eyebrow raise*
[22:45:33] AM|Hate: Tei: So was the kitchen. That's when Rei was born.
[22:45:43] AM|Hate: Tei: Made. Whatever.
[22:45:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Sucky time to be born.
[22:45:56] AM|Hate: Tei: She died at least once, I think.
[22:46:52] AM|Hate: Tei: So. Did you figure out what happened yet?
[22:48:41] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It was at least a thousand years. You had more than a millennium crammed into your head in a short time.
[22:49:16] AM|Hate: Tei: Good job! You're a smart kid, ain't 'cha.
[22:49:19] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I am.
[22:49:33] AM|Hate: Tei: Way smarter than that troll chick.
[22:50:25] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Which one, Joss?
[22:50:48] AM|Hate: Tei: I only met the one.
[22:50:57] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Definitely Joss.
[22:52:01] AM|Hate: Tei: Yeah.
[22:53:13] AM|Hate: Tei: I think that's the one. Even in here, it's hard to remember everything.
[22:54:09] AM|Hate: Tei: I've got a lot of nothing to sort through to find information.
[23:02:04] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yeah, I can see how it'd get in your way. Especially given how much of a maze it is in here.
[23:02:10] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Are you another memory?
[23:02:21] AM|Hate: Tei: Yep. A more relevant one, too.
[23:02:37] toothsomeCameo: Dora: What are you a memory of?
[23:02:50] AM|Hate: Tei: I don't know exactly what happened.
[23:03:05] AM|Hate: Tei: But I'm pretty sure I'm the memory of whatever caused this.
[23:03:11] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Give me your best approximation.
[23:03:31] AM|Hate: Tei: Well I could. But that's too easy for you
[23:03:38] toothsomeCameo: Dora: :| Naturally.
[23:03:57] AM|Hate: Tei: Hey, you're a smart kid. I figure you should be able to figure it out by now.
[23:04:19] AM|Hate: Tei: You know everything you need to, I think. And I've been dropping not-so-subtle hints.
[23:04:29] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Did you make all those new rooms?
[23:04:51] AM|Hate: Tei: I'm just a memory.
[23:05:58] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Fine, whatever.
[23:07:25] AM|Hate: Tei: Hey, you went into this expecting me to be unhelpful.
[23:07:52] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yeah, you have a point.
[23:09:13] toothsomeCameo: Dora: So. Tei's punishment for pissing off Henry and Joss was having a thousand years and change's worth of nothing stuck into her head?
[23:09:50] AM|Hate: Tei: You're getting close!
[23:09:58] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Seems like overkill.
[23:10:09] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Pretty massive overkill.
[23:10:17] AM|Hate: Tei: I think this is as much as you can get out of me right now.
[23:10:34] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Alright. Gonna point me to the door?
[23:10:34] AM|Hate: Tei: You need more information. Go ask Rei.
[23:10:46] toothsomeCameo: Dora: The same Rei I was talking to?
[23:11:16] AM|Hate: Tei: No, not that Rei. The real Rei.
[23:11:31] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Alright.
[23:11:59] AM|Hate: Tei: Good luck.
[23:12:43] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *She knows a scene transition when she sees one. Time to blow this popsicle stand.*
[23:12:52] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Cuts the connection, wakes up.*
[23:13:01] AM|Hate: Rei: What did you find out?
[23:13:34] toothsomeCameo: Dora: She's got over a thousand years of nothing taking up space in her head.
[23:13:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: And I think it was a punishment for pissing off Henry and Joss.
[23:13:59] AM|Hate: Rei: What?
[23:14:13] AM|Hate: Rei: How on earth did that happen...
[23:14:15] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I think the time must have been artificially inserted.
[23:15:29] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Because the alternative involves time travel, and brainwashing and mind control are easier to pull off.
[23:15:41] AM|Hate: Rei: Usually she doesn't get punished at all, so I insisted she actually suffer some consequences for being rude for no good reason.
[23:16:26] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Bit of an overreaction, don't you think?!
[23:16:57] AM|Hate: Rei: Well, I gave the suggestion that she be sent to her room for a year or so, but not a thousand!
[23:17:19] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: So Doctor Sakamoto came up with this on his own?
[23:17:31] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Does the man have no concept of proportion?!
[23:17:36] AM|Hate: Rei: I don't think it could have possibly been intentional.
[23:18:34] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: *Looks highly dubious* Well, I've never met him. You're the expert.
[23:18:47] AM|Hate: Rei: He's not malicious at all.
[23:18:57] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: What about insane?
[23:19:29] AM|Hate: Rei: He's old. I don't know exactly how much, but at least three hundred.
[23:19:47] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Does it affect him?
[23:19:59] AM|Hate: Rei: He's... somewhat absent minded.
[23:20:35] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: I'M "somewhat absent-minded". This is grossly negligent at best.
[23:20:45] AM|Hate: Rei: Very absent minded.
[23:21:03] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I might be able to improve her condition but I don't have a lot of experience with making changes and it's like a maze inside her head.
[23:21:08] toothsomeCameo: Dora: A really dusty maze.
[23:21:20] AM|Hate: Rei: Enh?
[23:21:46] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I can change minds as well as explore them.
[23:21:55] AM|Hate: Rei: No, the dust thing.
[23:22:07] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Damn near everything was covered in dust.
[23:22:19] AM|Hate: Rei: *slight twitch* Ugh.
[23:22:42] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Imaginary dust is not any more fun to get in your face than real dust.
[23:22:59] AM|Hate: Rei: Blech. *as a maid, she cannot abide a mess*
[23:23:07] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Blech is right.
[23:24:11] AM|Hate: Rei: ... Anyway, the best I can fathom as to what happened is something like this. I told Dr Sakamoto to punish Tei by sending her to her room for a year or so. Somewhat extreme, but this is a girl who has never been punished that I know of in her life.
[23:24:28] toothsomeCameo: Dora: That explains a few things.
[23:25:46] AM|Hate: Rei: And then he thought that he couldn't manage without her for a year so he came up with... a time compression machine or something. Like... a year a minute.
[23:26:24] AM|Hate: Rei: And then went to do something else while she was in it in order to pass the time, and... got distracted.
[23:26:56] toothsomeCameo: Dora: And left her in there all day.
[23:27:20] AM|Hate: Rei: *wince* That... that would explain it. *fret*
[23:27:24] toothsomeCameo: Dora: That fits. She said there was one room per month - give or take - and there were seventeen thousand new rooms.
[23:28:23] AM|Hate: Rei: You're sure you can improve her condition.
[23:28:48] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I don't have a hell of a lot of practice with altering things.
[23:28:58] AM|Hate: Rei: Do what you can.
[23:29:36] toothsomeCameo: Dora: What if I make it worse?
[23:29:54] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: That would be a difficult proposition.
[23:30:11] AM|Hate: Rei: I don't think that she can get much worse than she is without becoming straight-up braindead.
[23:30:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I didn't find the real Tei. Just memories of her.
[23:30:59] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Also one of you, Rei.
[23:31:04] AM|Hate: Rei: Really?
[23:31:21] AM|Hate: (Bunny: And me. No respect, I tells ya'.)
[23:31:32] toothsomeCameo: Dora: And a random bunny that sounded like a plumber from Brooklyn.
[23:31:51] AM|Hate: Rei: What.
[23:31:59] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: What?
[23:32:27] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It explicitly told me it was a random tangent.
[23:32:32] toothsomeCameo: Dora: She probably has a lot of them.
[23:32:47] AM|Hate: Rei: I would assume so o_O;
[23:33:01] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Why Brooklyn?
[23:33:11] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I dunno, to make it sound more like a tough guy probably.
[23:33:28] AM|Hate: Rei: ... This is silly.
[23:33:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yeah. We're getting distracted.
[23:34:36] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Alright. I'm gonna go back in.
[23:34:47] AM|Hate: Rei: Okay.
[23:34:58] AM|Hate: Rei: Good luck.
[23:35:34] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Does the brainy thing a second time. Back into the brainhouse.*
[23:35:56] AM|Hate: Tei: Hi, again!
[23:36:13] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Am I back where I was, then?
[23:36:40] AM|Hate: Tei: I suppose so? Kind of sucks that you've backtracked.
[23:37:00] toothsomeCameo: Dora: So, you're Traumatic Memory Tei?
[23:37:14] AM|Hate: Tei: Yep! Nice to see you again.
[23:37:39] toothsomeCameo: Dora: You too.
[23:37:55] AM|Hate: Tei: Did you find out what happened?
[23:38:05] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yeah, we pieced it together.
[23:38:26] AM|Hate: Tei: What happened?
[23:38:58] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Time compression. A day went past for everyone else, but for you it was around 1400 years.
[23:39:07] AM|Hate: Tei: o_o
[23:39:11] AM|Hate: Tei: Seriously?!
[23:39:16] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Seriously.
[23:39:45] AM|Hate: Tei: Wow. And I thought that I was a shitty memory.
[23:40:04] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Raises an eyebrow.*
[23:40:27] AM|Hate: Tei: And I'm a pretty shitty memory, so that's saying a lot.
[23:41:54] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I'm still not going to pry.
[23:42:10] AM|Hate: Tei: I don't particularly mind.
[23:42:51] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It seems rude to poke around someone's irrelevant traumatic memories. Would Tei herself mind?
[23:43:16] AM|Hate: Tei: She doesn't remember.
[23:43:38] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Well.
[23:43:46] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Tell me, then.
[23:43:51] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It might help.
[23:45:14] AM|Hate: Tei: Well, when Tei was very young, she lived in China for a period of time. She's... never been back since. For a good reason.
[23:45:25] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Raises eyebrows*
[23:45:31] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Did you die?
[23:45:52] AM|Hate: Tei: Worse.
[23:46:16] AM|Hate: Tei: I'm immortal, remember?
[23:46:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Well, apparently you and Rei can come back from the dead.
[23:47:01] AM|Hate: Tei: Yeah, that's about it.
[23:49:25] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Worse than murder, then. Torture?
[23:50:02] AM|Hate: Tei: Closer.
[23:50:21] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Rape? I'm running out of ideas.
[23:51:14] AM|Hate: Tei: Ding ding ding.
[23:51:24] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Wait, really?
[23:51:42] AM|Hate: Tei: Yep. That's me.
[23:51:55] royalFawe: (Gaaaaaaaaah damn you TVTropes.)
[23:52:05] toothsomeCameo: (It is a black hole.)
[23:52:26] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Do... Um. Do you want a hug?
[23:52:34] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Oh god she has no idea how to respond.*
[23:52:49] AM|Hate: Tei: I wouldn't say no to one.
[23:53:28] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Hugs Memory Tei.*
[23:53:29] AM|Hate: Tei: *seems more adorable than the more recent Tei for some reason*
[23:53:33] AM|Hate: Tei: ^_^
[23:56:19] AM|Hate: Tei: Um, anyway. If you've met a more recent Tei, that's why she's like that.
[23:57:44] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I haven't met her personally.
[23:59:55] AM|Hate: Tei: It's for the best. People cope with trauma in different ways. I coped by becoming a con artist.
[00:03:11] AM|Hate: Tei: I used to be more... genuinely pleasant.
[00:06:48] toothsomeCameo: Dora: The only you I've met, on the outside, is zombie you.
[00:07:09] AM|Hate: Tei: But you've heard of me, right?
[00:07:15] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Lots of horror stories.
[00:07:33] AM|Hate: Tei: And you met a more recent memory of me?
[00:08:30] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yeah. She was a little rude, but not that bad.
[00:09:15] AM|Hate: Tei: Probably because you had something she wanted.
[00:09:21] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Fair enough.
[00:09:37] AM|Hate: Tei: I used to be less like her and more like me.
[00:09:59] toothsomeCameo: (*Linkin Park begins to play*)
[00:10:12] AM|Hate: Tei: But now I'm locked in a room.
[00:10:21] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Do you want out?
[00:10:24] royalFawe: (Crawling in your skin.)
[00:10:53] toothsomeCameo: (I was actually thinking of "Numb".)
[00:11:02] AM|Hate: Tei: It's very boring in here.
[00:11:13] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Takes out her faithful crowbar.*
[00:12:41] toothsomeCameo: Dora: It would be easier if I had a saw, but I'll try to make this work. *Bashes the pointy end into the wall.*
[00:12:54] AM|Hate: Tei: ._.
[00:13:08] AM|Hate: Wall: *falls apart pretty easily*
[00:13:27] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Yay! What does it open onto?*
[00:14:51] AM|Hate: Rei: D: what did you do?
[00:14:58] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Busted down the wall.
[00:15:00] AM|Hate: Tei: Hi, Rei!
[00:15:09] AM|Hate: Rei: I'm going to have to clean that up :(
[00:15:21] AM|Hate: Rei: Why would you do that :<
[00:15:40] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I thought it might help if I let this Tei out.
[00:15:56] toothsomeCameo: Dora: And I'm trying to make this place easier to navigate.
[00:16:02] AM|Hate: Tei: You could have just taken me through the door, you know.
[00:16:15] AM|Hate: Rei: Fair enough.
[00:16:22] toothsomeCameo: Dora: True.
[00:17:35] AM|Hate: Rei: Do you really think it will help?
[00:17:45] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I'm not sure.
[00:18:04] AM|Hate: Tei: It can't hurt.
[00:19:45] AM|Hate: Rei: Still, I think it's best you not change too much.
[00:19:53] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Probably not...
[00:20:07] AM|Hate: Tei: You've already let me out!
[00:20:19] AM|Hate: Rei: Yes, best to see the effect that had first.
[00:20:40] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Hopefully it won't make things worse.
[00:21:27] AM|Hate: Tei: I should hope not!
[00:23:13] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Maybe just establishing a map, or locating her consciousness...
[00:23:22] toothsomeCameo: Dora: One of those things would probably help with the other.
[00:23:44] AM|Hate: Tei: Good luck!
[00:24:11] AM|Hate: Rei: Yes. Good luck.
[00:26:49] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Hmmmm.
[00:30:06] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Don't suppose either of you know where to find her?
[00:30:42] AM|Hate: Rei: She must be very deep in.
[00:30:53] AM|Hate: Tei: It, um, could take a while.
[00:31:22] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Aw, man...
[00:35:49] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I don't have all day.
[00:36:07] AM|Hate: Rei: Hrm.
[00:36:22] AM|Hate: Rei: Well, it might be best to see what the changes you've made have resulted in.
[00:36:49] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Changing one variable at a time. Good scientific principle.
[00:40:29] AM|Hate: Rei: It's common sense.
[00:44:09] toothsomeCameo: Dora: See you later.
[00:44:15] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I'll undoubtedly be back.
[00:46:05] AM|Hate: Tei: Thanks for letting me out!
[00:47:13] toothsomeCameo: Dora: You're welcome.
[00:48:48] AM|Hate: Rei: Thank you for attempting aid.
[00:48:58] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Nods*
[00:49:31] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Bye for now.
[00:49:36] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Back to the real world!*
[00:49:56] AM|Hate: Rei: Hello again.
[00:50:13] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Looks over at Tei*
[00:50:19] AM|Hate: Tei: *waves*
[00:50:28] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Blink* That's an improvement.
[00:50:56] toothsomeCameo: Dora: I let out a repressed memory, but it was a pretty old one that didn't have much to do with what's happening now.
[00:51:36] AM|Hate: Tei: You're... Dora, right?
[00:51:41] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Yeah.
[00:52:19] AM|Hate: Tei: And you're... Uh... begins with a g?
[00:52:27] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Gareth.
[00:52:35] AM|Hate: Tei: And you're Rei. I know you.
[00:54:28] AM|Hate: Tei: Right. I think I can handle this.
[00:55:06] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Handle what, exactly?
[00:55:49] AM|Hate: Tei: Bluh, it's hard to put it into words.
[00:56:09] AM|Hate: Tei: I... think my brain's working a bit better, I guess, is what I want to say.
[00:56:16] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: Fantastic!
[00:56:36] AM|Hate: Tei: So... should I just, like, stay in Seattle for now?
[00:56:48] toothsomeCameo: Clone Gareth: I think you're entirely correct. You're acting far more lucid.
[00:57:05] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Do you have a place to stay?
[00:57:15] AM|Hate: Tei: Here, I guess?
[00:57:28] AM|Hate: Tei: I, uh, can't think of anywhere else.
[00:57:49] AM|Hate: Rei: She's not welcome in the cloneplex. And I'd still rather her not wander Seattle alone.
[00:58:09] toothsomeCameo: Dora: Well, yeah, either one of those would be worse.
[00:58:52] AM|Hate: Rei: So, yes, for now stay here. Call me if you need anything.
[00:58:57] AM|Hate: Tei: *nod nod*
[00:59:26] toothsomeCameo: Dora: If you want me to help some more... well, you know where to find me.
[01:00:09] AM|Hate: Rei: *sternly* also, don't spend too much money on room service. I have to pay and I don't have infinite money.
[01:02:00] AM|Hate: Tei: I wasn't gonna!
[01:05:19] toothsomeCameo: Dora: *Departs the hotel room*
