<sUe> well that's an existential fuckfest. what's the point of anything if everything that could happen has happened?
<RoL> Because we are ourselves, in our lives. This life matters. That is enough. Do not give in to nihilism; embrace the knowledge that your future is infinite.
::03-18-2023-log::
<sUe> okay. let me make sure I have this straight
<sUe> there's an infinite number of timelines in the "gigaverse"
<sUe> and penny comes from one of them
<sUe> so she's A penny, not THE penny
<RoL> And you are A Sue, not THE Sue. There is not THE anyone.
<RoL> In truth... she doesn't know how she got here. There is no road back to her exact home. And if it's not EXACT, well, she may already 'be there' and that won't work either.
<sUe> So we're stuck with her.
<RoL> She's lost, Sue. Adrift. And deserves better than she had.
::01-13-2023-log::
<RoL> Okay, hear me out. An attack on The Palace is hardly unworthy.
<sUe> agreed. we good
<RoL> So... you aren't mad?
<sUe> nope
<RoL> Capital! I'm glad to hear that.
<sUe> when's she going home?
<RoL> ...ah. About that. She... can't.
<sUe> don't like this scifi bullshit man
<RoL> Our stock in trade is scifi bullshit. And if we wish to purge Polybius... we may need to concern ourselves with, let's say ADJACENT instances. And Penny's allies are key to that. You'll see soon enough.
::01-08-2023-log::
<sUe> Okay, what did you do now
<RoL> Can it really be considered a crime? Tresspass, perhaps, but we gave them more dolls than they had originally. Why, it's an anti-crime!
<sUe> Locksley dude look I know you're having fun with your new friend but c'mon
<sUe> Look, I don't trust her. she comes outta nowhere and there's this thing with the cat and I know weird shit is normal for us but this is very weird shit
<RoL> Trust my word that she is trustworthy. And she is our in-road to a much wider... how did she put it? Gigaverse?
<sUe> Uh-huh. and what's this about a cat
<sUe> did she seriously take her pet cat on a heist
<RoL> That is... a longer story.
<sUe> I got all the time in the world.
<RoL> Okay. Likely the public won't know of this for years to come, but the reason is because he is actually
::09-30-log::
<sUe> okay wtf my dude
<RoL> I can explain. Our new recruit stole a plushie from Ben and Matt, which is of course abhorrent. So... I taught her how to rob The Palace instead.
<sUe> And you got caught on camera.
<RoL> No verifiable identification, fortunately.
<sUe> So what's your story?
<PL> I'm a thief by trade; so was my mom, before she died. It's all I really know how to do but I do it well. I've gotten by on it for years. Locksley says you need stuff stolen?
<sUe> We're cooking up plans. Hold tight.
::07-17-log::
<PL> Hey uh am I doing this right
<PL> Hi everyone! I'm Locksley's friend Penny and I'm happy to be joining the GMs!
<sUe> Okay to be clear, you aren't one of us. Not yet. You're an auxiliary member, a hang-around. Got it?
<PL> Sure, that's cool.
<sUe> When do you think I could meet her? if she's important to you she's important to me.
<RoL> Mmm... things are about to get hectic for us. Hectic and dangerous. Give it... a year or so, then I'll introduce you to Miss Penny Larceny.
::05-24-log::
<RoL> I assure you I'm on-task. Observe and report, as promised.
<sUe> just don't like to hear you're out of position
<RoL> Penny needed me. I'm the only family she has since her parents passed. I make no apologies for that.
<sUe> okay okay... I get it. fam is good
<sUe> first I'm hearing about penny, tho. is she cool?
<RoL> She won't snitch on us if that's your concern. She's a thief by trade, for lack of a better option.
<sUe> I mean cool in a general sense
<RoL> I'd like to think so. She's funloving and has a good heart.
<P1NK> K's put together a lot of this. Not all but some, is that a problem?
<nbCLY> Not at this point.
<sUe> How'd K get their hands on the info tho?
<nbCLY> Maybe an Iris...? We don't control them, we only host them.
<sUe> worrying. but OK. We're on track.
::05-22-log::
<sUe> We are so close to the end on this thing, wide release is next week
<sUe> I want a check in, report
<nbCLY> Server farm's booted and ready.
<RoL> Grace is busy with her game. Good for us.
<INKY> Getting the word out.
<P1NK> I'm concerned about K.
<sUe> there was a blinky in the 90s who was a conspiracy theorist and first started looking into polybius
<sUe> a lot of what we know came from him.
<sUe> but dad used me to refocus us on blackmail and info gathering so that fell by the wayside
<sUe> we're finally indie again.
::04-17-log::
<sUe> I'm the first sue, yeah, but not the first ghost monster. I inherited the group.
<RoL> So they've existed since the eighties?
<sUe> Yeah. Hackers, crackers, phreakers, you name it. Come and go, wax or wane, but the GMs have been around a long time.
::03-26-log::
<sUe> been quiet lately.
<nbCLY> Wide release is in two months. I'm nervous.
<sUe> huh. usually you're the one assuring and comforting me
<nbCLY> I just want to do right by her. She's been through so much and deserves a fair shot at this.
