Responsibility.

@Balance

Not what I mean.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Oh boy.

@whizzball1

*Nods*
It's not a good place.

[Balance]

@Host

Oh, then what do you mean?

@Balance

It seems like you care about random rules more than others.

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

Do you think it'll get everybody to evacuate? It might be best if I'm able to grab it and go as everybody is running. I know they'd all evacuate if they thought the Quolium was volatile, for example.

@Efficacy

*The sound of a bomb exploding occurs, the sound sending shock-waves around the lab*
*Whispers once you can hear again*
Like that?

@DarkwolfX37

*Immediately places a Realmatic transformation on everybody in the lab, directing their eyes away from the Quolium* Yes! *Darts through the rushing people, dashes through the open door, and snags the Quolium, hiding the cylindrical lump in my large gloves and running back* Take this and hide it. Let's go!

@Host

Oh. I didn't notice.

@Techspert

Is there any way we can help her or fix the situation?

[Host]

<Snipped quote by Host>

@Balance

Well...

@Efficacy

*Pops my head out from under my dress, looking like it's decapitated on the floor* Hmm... *Three seconds pass before I eat the Quolium whole, similarly to how a snake would eat a rat, before hiding my head under my dress again*

@whizzball1

Her specifically? I don't know. I didn't expect to see her at all while here.

@Techspert

Oh well! I guess we'll figure it out as we go, like we should, right?

[Balance]

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Well...

@Host

That's a question, too. Is it just a general feeling to you that I'm like that, or did I really ignore some rules and care about others?

@DarkwolfX37

Okay, that works. Now let's evacuate with everybody else. *Steps into the flow and gets into one of many elevators*

I would give you the full story right away as well as instructions for what you should do, but that would burn through all of the time I have remaining and if it failed, that would be it.

@Balance

It just seems really arbitrary.

@Techspert

That's a perfectly good narrative reason! This isn't a story, of course, but it almost sounds like one, and now we have to deal with the logic of narrative consequence! Rather than distract you any further, we'd be happy to listen to what you have to say and answer any questions you might have.

@whizzball1

Thank you. Where are the Nobility and Tier Five right now?

@Host

It's partly because of the mechanics of Path and Source. They have a long list of reasons why I should follow that rule, and they deliberately explain them to me every single time just because of my powers, so I go with it.

@Techspert

Tier Five, scattered. Nobility, varyingly punished, freed, or dead, some at our command.
