Who is this lady, anyway?

It used to be Yaksinis.

[wow my expression got a little dark there]

Aaaaaand you don't like her.

[ what does she win ]

In a matter of speaking, yeah.

[you'd win something if we'd gotten that far in my heartgame BUT WE'RE NOT THERE YET OOPS]

Yaksinis was a little different. This Echo... well, Rook and I got a trial by fire with her last time around.

She's not going to give us good options in the end.

[ SOME DAY SOON ]

Yeah, because the others do that so often.

[An empty chuckle. Yeah, yeah, your point stands.]

Still. Just... be careful, alright?

I don't know what I'd do if you got yourself hurt again.

Technic. [ gentle but firm ] I can handle myself.

I know.

Doesn't stop me from worrying about you.

Who is that supposed to be?

[ frown ]

She is - was, I guess - an Echo that cycled with the seasons. Until recently, she ran her own sets of games, sometimes resorting to violence and bloodshed.

This new Echo that's taken her place is more... ruthless in her punishments.

[ hmph ]

Sounds like someone else who needs to be smacked around a few times.

[A weak laugh, surprised.]

Yeah, probably.

[ She may be a nice, self-sacrificing lady, but she likes to punch shit. ]

Hmm...I am Capella. It is nice to meet you.

Technic. It's a pleasure.

I'm pretty sure it's the other half of Yaksinis. The new one that appeared, after [ Ha ha that sure is a voice crack!! ] the game she ran with Nyssa.

...Sorry?

Yeah ... that one.

Fuck this.

I completely agree.

Now ... I was definitely less on board over the relationship question than I am on this one. But I'm still skeptical about this one, too. Especially because it sounds like an "all of us" answer.

[ strength in numbers, right? ] We can handle it, Rook.

Oh right I didn't get your name...

[ Yes let's talk about his name instead of games by shitty Echoes that broke him completely. ]

Rook, it's Rook. It's nice to meet you.

[You and Technic look really stressed so obviously probably need distractions??? he's a good dog.]

I'm Percy! Nice to meet you Rook. Have you been here a long time too?

I've been here from the very beginning.

How long is that?
