Granted, emphasis on "loved" being past-tense.

Granted, but it's more "pine" than "apple."

I wish my brother would stop blasting music I don't like.
Granted, but just because you can doesn't mean you do. You forget to go see it on the day it happens.

I wish I could eat as much as I want and stay healthy.
I'm down, but discord is all wonky on my pc. Basically mic doesn't work. I'd be able to hear you all but not talk verbally. Would typing in discord chats be ok?

Otherwise, I'm a a PF veteran as both player and GM. So I'm down for stuff.
I wish for all my jokes to be appreciated.


Granted, but only by that one guy with an annoying laugh. He finds your jokes hysterical.

I wish that I'll sleep well tonight.
"Wait," Geno began, slowing almost to a standstill as he spoke behind the group. "Are you saying that we are this supposed council?" His tone mutated from inquiry to complaint quickly, continuing before the Caretaker could respond. "Because if so, don't you think our memories would be a bit more important? Was it truly impossible to maintain the mental health of a small group like us, even at the expense of those still sleeping?"

He quickened his pace again, marching to the center of the group to address this towering idol more directly. "And if not, what are we doing here? Why us in particular? And why not everyone else here?" His arms threw themselves out wide, gesturing with clothed hands at the many pods of still sleeping people that surrounded them as they walked.
@RyuShura This proposed reaction of his was my first instinct to write about, so I suppose he is/can be that kind of person (not unlike myself). So that's what I'll write about.
@RyuShura so my follow up question would be, is it within the realm of reasonability that Geno could think that the Caretaker is trying to say that we are the council?
@RyuShura that wasn't really my concern. Verbally, what the Caretaker said made sense. But as a reader, I very obviously can't hear her inflection or tone. That's where my question comes in.
"Eventually, the Architect discovered a complication with the core that we can no longer overlook. As per protocol 'A-13' of the programmed statutes inscribed into my mind; in the event of a Class-5 emergency, I must override any previous master protocol I had been assigned and awake the council in priority to ascertain new orders. As for what happened next... Well, that explanation is better heard from the mouth of the Oracle herself."


I'm not sure if I'm reading this wrong, but based on the context and grammar, I'm not sure if she's implying that she already woke the council or not. I was going to have Geno ask if we are said council but everything else she talked about there is in past tense. I'm sure if we were roleplaying verbally it would be easer to ascertain, like it would be for our characters talking to her right now.
