What trick is this?

[voice]

[absolute_npc]

This is no trick.

[voice]

[eristical]

Then what is it?

[voice]

[absolute_npc]

An unexpected and rather unfortunate series of events.

[redeify]

Can't you ask a little more prettily, Lilith?

really shouldn't tag when i first wake up sob

[absolute_npc]

Grand Master Dai, only you would have such a request at a time like this.

...How may I phrase it better to your liking?

ldfmdl I just woke up myself.

[redeify]

Perhaps something along the lines of:

Oh, Magisters! I don't think I could bear to live if you were to get hurt! Please be careful with yourselves. Especially you, Grand Master Dai. Why, if you ended here, I would have no-one to teach me of love, and it would get so terribly lonely.

If you all survive, maybe I'll reward your bodies with something nice! ♥

... It has far greater appeal when one speaks breathily, additionally.

[absolute_npc]

...

I do not understand. Why is this manner of deliverance preferable?

[factive]

[A long pause, broken only by soft, slightly wheezed breathing. And then there's words spoken in a tone that's, all things considered, quite calm.]

How do the effects and events taking hold over many of the people here concern you?

[voice]

[absolute_npc]

On a personal level, they do not. I have merely been instructed to assist the foreigners in their stay here. Your wellbeing is my highest priority.

[silenteloquency]

[You'd think all of this would have an effect on Rude. Not really. He's used to sounding like a computer sometimes.]

Explain.
