[alexander]

ZA: You did?
ZA: And they scared you?
ZA: Are you ok?
ZA: What did they say?
ZA: What color was their text color?

[eiffel1]

PE: I-I-I did.
PE: V-venn was t-t-there too...
PE: I-I'm f-f-f-fine...
PE: ...S-sort o-of... T-T
PE: T-they s-s-s-s-said all k-kinds of m-m-mean t-things...
PE: ...M-mostly at m-me...
PE: ...And t-they s-s-s-said s-something ab-bout h-how V-v-venn and I m-messed everything up... ;-;
PE: A-after t-that they k-kept saying m-mean things t-t-t-to m-me w-which m-made V-v-v-venn angry.
PE: T-then everything s-sort of f-f-fell apart...And V-Venn and the t-t-t-troll j-just started y-yelling at each o-other.
PE: As f-f-f-for their t-text...It w-was p-p-purple...I t-think... QQ

[alexander]

ZA: Did they now?
ZA: I think I know who you're talking about.
ZA: Don't worry, I'll take care of it.
ZA: If she contacts you again, point her to me.
ZA: I am glad Venn was there though.
ZA: But don't worry about being told you messed up.
ZA: I got told the same thing.
ZA: Apparently I'm the one that screws you all over.

[eiffel1]

PE: T-t-t-that c-can't be r-right...
PE: Y-your really s-s-smart and c-capable, Alex...
PE: If a-anything it m-makes m-m-more s-sense t-that I w-w-w-would mess something u-up...
PE: ...O-only I'm n-not s-s-s-sure w-what it i-is I'm s-supposed to m-mess up in the f-f-first place... ;-;

[alexander]

ZA: Nah, I doubt it would be you that does anything to mess up.
ZA: At least, I don't see anything you could really do.
ZA: Venn, his bravado might get him in a spot.
ZA: But that might be it.
ZA: As for me, I'm sure I could screw it up somehow.
ZA: Anyway.
ZA: I'm hoping to be your server player.
ZA: Is that ok with you?

[eiffel1]

PE: ...W-w-well r-regardless...
PE: I-if we all t-t-t-try h-hard I'm s-sure we can k-keep each o-other f-f-from m-messing up t-to b-b-bad...
PE: ...L-like Venn s-s-says...We're all f-friends...
PE: And f-f-friends look out f-for each o-other...
PE: T-t-t-t-t-t-thats f-f-f-f-fine with m-m-me.
PE: ...H-having you as a s-s-server s-s-seems r-really good s-s-s-since you're already in the g-game...
PE: ...So you p-probably h-have a g-g-good idea of w-what to d-do...

[alexander]

ZA: Yeah.
ZA: Haven't really done anything yet though.
ZA: Either way, don't worry.
ZA: I'll keep an eye on you during the whole thing.
ZA: So you won't get hurt.
ZA: I know you're a bit nervous about this.
ZA: So I want to make sure you can ease into this as much as possible.

[eiffel1]

PE: T-t-t-thanks A-alex.
PE: Y-you and V-venn h-have been doing a l-lot to m-m-m-make me f-feel better about all of t-this...
PE: ...I r-really appreciate it...
PE: A-anyways, I'll be sure to d-do my b-b-best as y-your c-client player!

[alexander]

ZA: You'll do fine.
ZA: You really give yourself too little credit.
ZA: I never really got why you're so hard on yourself like this.
ZA: Personally, I'm sure you'll be pretty good at this.
ZA: Once you get the hang of it and all.
ZA: And of course, I'm here to help if you need it.

[eiffel1]

PE: ...I-I-I...Um...
PE: I d-don't really k-know w-w-why I'm like t-this either...
PE: I just s-s-start t-thinking about doing s-s-s-something and then m-m-messing it up...
PE: ...And it just seem s-s-s-so likely...
PE: ...Then I g-go and m-mess things up f-f-for r-real...
PE: B-b-b-b-b-but I p-promise not to m-mess any of t-t-this up!
PE: O-or at l-l-least try my b-best not to... ;A;

[alexander]

ZA: Like I said, you'll do just fine.
ZA: Don't worry about messing up, ok?
ZA: Even if in the event that you do.
ZA: I'll fix it.
ZA: Trust me, you'll do fine.
ZA: Plus there are so many things I'd like to show you.
ZA: But that'll probably have to wait a bit.

[eiffel1]

PE: B-b-b-but I don't w-want to t-trouble you and m-m-make you f-f-f-fix all my m-mistakes...
PE: ...W-which is why I'll b-b-b-be sure not to m-mess up in the f-f-first place...
PE: W-what sort of t-t-things d-did you w-want to show m-me...?
PE: ...A-and would it involve m-m-meeting t-through the g-g-game?
PE: I r-r-remember someone s-saying that w-w-we c-can d-d-do t-that...
PE: ...Which would be r-r-r-really n-nice.
PE: ...I-I really w-w-w-want to m-meet you and a-all the r-r-rest of our f-f-friends in p-person.
PE: ...Eventhoughsomeofourfriendsarekindofscary... ;A;
PE: W-well...Not so m-much s-s-scary as sort o-of i-intense...
PE: L-like G-gwen...Or S-sage...
PE: Gwen's n-n-nice enough...B-but she can be r-r-really...I t-think the w-w-word she uses is h-hardcore...?
PE: S-somthing l-l-like that...
PE: And S-sage is r-really f-friendly b-b-b-but she gets o-overly excited at t-times.
PE: ...D-d-despite t-that I still w-want to m-m-meet them.

[alexander]

ZA: Well, I guess I'll show you later.
ZA: Really.
ZA: I think gold suits you better than purple.
ZA: But anyway.
ZA: And yeah, we can meet through the game.
ZA: I'm rather looking forward to that part.
ZA: Even if it means having to deal with Cash.
ZA: Really.
ZA: He can go away.
ZA: I don't blame Gwen too much though for her nature.
ZA: With Gail as your sister?
ZA: Christ, that's some shadow.
ZA: It'd be a miracle if she wasn't such a hothead.
ZA: I admit.
ZA: I don't envy her Server player.
ZA: Sage I think is just enthusiastic.
ZA: So.
ZA: Who're you looking forward to meeting the most?

[eiffel1]

PE: ...G-g-gold...?
PE: I don't...Um...O-okay...
PE: C-c-cash isn't s-s-s-so b-bad...
PE: ...The w-way he t-t-talks is k-kind of amusing and e-exotic...
PE: And always m-makes me think of the b-b-b-beach...
PE: ...Hersisterisreallyscary...
PE: Idon'tmeantoberudebutshe'sdownrightterrifying.
PE: I k-kind of f-f-feel bad f-for Gwen...H-having a s-s-sister like t-that must be h-h-hard...
PE: ...W-who am I...?
PE: Y-you and V-venn mostly...
PE: And L-lela too...Since she's p-p-part of our t-team...
PE: I'd l-l-like to m-meet A-alto t-too...He's b-been p-p-pretty n-nice to m-m-me...
