dismal waning descent? or is it another place?

have you tried going?

[threatmewted]

That's the one. By the time he told me about it, it was already closed. He showed me how he can teleport there, though.

[insinning]

How?

[threatmewted]

I dunno, he just did? All I saw was him disappearing and then reappearing from my side.

Cubia gave them the ability to warp directly there since they can't just use the gates I guess.

[insinning]

maybe it's their cores? but then you would be able to teleport too

[threatmewted]

Maybe he gave them a special ability?

I guess the cores could be different, too.

[insinning]

Is there anyone else with a Lily core that will speak to you about him?

[threatmewted]

...Dunno. Don't think so.

[insinning]

What about Fandaniel? Are you two close in any way or...?

[threatmewted]

I have no idea anymore. He was digging at me for info on Zelkova's bracelet when the shield monsters showed up, and now he's a big Lily fan.

I'm not really sure what to make of it anymore.

[insinning]

I'd say Lily promised him something like Barrett, but it doesn't mean much now that we know Lily can replace memories entirely.

What did he want to know about your bracelet?

[threatmewted]

No idea. It was so early on, he might've just been scoping out Zelkova's people.

[insinning]

you're probably right

it's weird though

zelkova and lily are brothers, but they couldn't be any more different in how they've worked

[threatmewted]

Maybe it's got something to do with their original coding?

[insinning]

If Harald Hoerwick threw Cubia away, then Cuba didn't fulfill his intentions as an AI while Zelkova did. Zelkova has been helpful, but hands off, and not very communicative in a way that's easy to understand. Cubia talks a lot, but most of that seems to be unreliable and manipulative.

[threatmewted]

Almost like two sides of the same coin.

[insinning]

"One's own shadow', even.

[threatmewted]

Yeah, sounds about right.

Were they supposed to be a package deal, maybe? Like one program, except all the stuff they didn't want in there got taken out?

[insinning]

You think they were one but got divided? it'd make sense

they appear to be a similar class, and they have similar abilities. except zelkova lives on the surface and lily doesn't.

[threatmewted]

It sounds like the garden he hangs out in has other NPCs and data that was meant to be deleted. Including those shield monsters. That's how Misteaks practiced with his bracelet.

[insinning]

A flower garden

I can't believe he's been with Lily this whole time. No wonder he was so defensive.

[threatmewted]

He's a nice, friendly guy. He was probably an easy target.

[insinning]

and he lost someone

it means he's vulnerable

[threatmewted]

Even easier for Cubia to take advantage of.

[insinning]

yeah. that's a lot of people here
