Threatening the others or the people we're trying to stop? Either way, not really.

@Malevocholy

Threatening everyone to work together. I was thinking a coalition of your strongest could be pretty convincing.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Not that I know of. Our only option seems to be to whittle down the weaker people. If we don't keep everyone occupied at once, we're not going to have much chance.

@Malevocholy

I don’t guess threatening them is an option?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I just hope it stays that way.

@Malevocholy

I know it will. Is there anything else you can do if all else fails?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

UUugh. That's the problem. I'm not totally convinced that I haven't already driven away half of them, and I don't think what Ulthar's planning is going to help with that. But we took so long deciding whether to do anything that we basically have one window left, and I'm not going to sit by and let us miss that one too just because we can't all agree that the method is the best. It's the only one we've got, so to not do it is to lose, and I don't like losing.

@Malevocholy

Well, you don’t lose. That’s always been your thing.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Sorry that I can't think of anything. If I could, I'd definitely have you help.

@Malevocholy

How are you going to "unite" any of the codex? I always thought that not working together was the greatest talent of that group.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I don't know. I guess just keep being you. Your support means the world.

@Malevocholy

You’re never losing that. I wish there were something tangible I could do though.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Me personally? Just to try to unify everyone. But for Ulthar and her friend, it's a prison-break.

@Malevocholy

How can I help?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Hugs you with one arm*
I know, I know. You did a good job, given the circumstances. And now it's my turn to try to save everyone. Our turn, the Codex, again. I wish we had everyone's support, but we can't wait anymore. Hopefully success here will help unite the others, but... From what I've been told, we're not exactly the favorites to win this.

@Malevocholy

What are they forcing you to do?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Smiles*
Yeah, some other girl. But this whole thing is sort of your fault, you know. The Balkan System apparently inspired her decision. And to be honest, I don't think the new System is going to stop her.

@Malevocholy

*Puts my hands behind my head*
It's always somehow my fault. Besides, Tier Five caused the Balkan System—I tried to save everyone from both of them.
*Kicks my foot*
Lot of good that did me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

The threat of doing nothing might be worse. It's basically either this, or we're stuck with a new queen of Existence.

@Malevocholy

Who isn’t you, I’m guessing. Because that doesn’t sound so bad.
