Alright, lets talk about something else. Athena, you can have control of Spips, but only under a condition: we have to have an agreement that you are not to try to overpower us with regards to your suspicion over fortuna using Blu's crew as an adversary.

My reasoning is that if Blu's crew is done away with, Fortuna will just summon a different end-game threat that's probably more in line with our previous crew's fortuna encounter, and it'd be easier to deal with a threat that's emotionally sympathetic to us and which we could still neutralize with a charisma check if it comes to a confrontation.

Hmmmmmm deal! I'll take Spips, and I'll stop suggest we weaken the Blu crew before we get to Fortuna. I still believe we shouldn't kill them, but whittle them down so that when it is shown they are the boss their stats and health will be a nice cozy low, but! A team game is made of compromises and this is one of them. I suppose if you trust them, then I must trust your trust in them, as I'm sure you will have to trust me on certain things later on.

I say we allow the 10 minute I told you so rule though. If Blu's crew isn't the final boss, you get to tell me you told me so, if they are, I get to tell you I told you so. We can even make a bet on this if you want.

I've got something for the bet! If I prove you wrong you should direct one of your god heads my way.

I thought that was the point of buying Nero, so I could make them in to a godhead for you to use? I suppose I'm not required to lend you usage of my godhead if you don't allow me to play in the next game, so I suppose we could make that a deal if that's something you really want.

Hmmm how about if you lose the bet, I don't get anything because friendship is its own reward then?

The reward of friendship if I lose? That would be just-

........ The reward of friendship, why are you highlighting that?

It's an important word. Also I haven't highlighted anything in a while.

Anyway! I'll take that deal too. Feel free to mull over what you really want and then come back to me. Now for what I get. If I win, you must pause the game, and then proceed to go outside. Once outside, in the non game word that is, I want you to take pictures! Of birds! Your birds! Then show them to me. I wish to view what your birds look like, real birds! If you could find an owl, that would be great, but all I require is any bird. I suppose you could cheat and grab pictures off the internet, I wouldn't be able to tell, but that is what I want! Like I said, mull it over, think about it, then come back to me.

Birds: birded. Aka I don't need to think it over, I'll take the bet.

Good! Perfect. The bet is on. Get ready to be, "served" as Nike says it, co-player!

Oh hey! Athena I ended up drawing you and Helios! Consider it a gift for being wonderful patrons. I'll go ahead and put it in a box so that we can give it to you directly instead of randomly throwing a drawing at our crew.

What a good picture co-player, you got my good side! Look how great and imposing I look! Your art art is wonderful, you should think about doing such battle portraits as a profession. If only you were here, there are many generals I could direct your way. I still need to finish my picture.

Thank you for the picture peon, it will look good on the fridge. You do seem to have a wide array of art styles.

If you think he's lying, he's not! He will not only do it, but put it in one of those tacky little frames and show it to others! Did you know he only owns a fridge to put pictures on it? What robot needs a fridge?
