DREAM!CALDER: And as much as I would be overjoyed to continue waffling about to our heart's content, the whims of fate seldom have such patience.
DREAM!CALDER: It seems that a dangerous "wildcard" Murrit had previously taken off the game table is now back in play, as it were, and with unknown motives.
DREAM!CALDER: Though we are unsure of the circumstances that led to the Dead Shufflers' apparent reunion, it is safe to assume they will feel the need to settle some scores with our resident Thief, at the very least.
DREAM!CALDER: I cannot imagine Jack Noir to be content in letting a betrayal slide. Certainly not one of this magnitude.
DREAM!SOVA: ah, right! that is the gang of criminals that Murrit used to be a part of, if i am not mistaken?
DREAM!MURRIT: ya and then i put em in dream jail
DREAM!MURRIT: sold em out n changed my ways so id get away w a smack on the wrist yadda yadda
DREAM!SOVA: surely we would have heard news of their escape by now if they are walking free...
DREAM!SOVA: unless their sentences have simply run their course?
DREAM!MURRIT: iunno jack was supposed to be stuck there 4 life
DREAM!SOVA: in that case, i can only imagine some sort of deal with the ruling monarchy has been struck
DREAM!CALDER: Yes, that is very well put, Sova. I think it's a likely scenario. The Derse monarchs are no strangers to all sorts of underhanded methods if it contributes to their strategic moves.
DREAM!CALDER: And I fear that if we stay our course, a confrontation is likely to be inevitable.
DREAM!MURRIT: long as i have anything to say about it there aint gonna be an inevitability
DREAM!CALDER: While I admire your conviction, that alone is only one factor in the equation needed for our success. You've only solved for X while failing to consider both Y and Z.
DREAM!CALDER: In order to reach the outcome we desire, the remaining variables must be established: Y, our strategy, and Z, our effort.
DREAM!JENTHA: wow youre such a n natural at this that you almost sound k kinda cool despite all the dorky shit you just said
DREAM!MURRIT: eh dont give him too much credit j
DREAM!CALDER: Ahem.
