18:55: [Kiki] Okay something’s wrong with this city.
18:55: [Kiki] Gaunt and I just fought some things. I don’t really know how to say this but they shouldn’t have been alive. They shouldn’t have survived long enough to get to us. They were like something out of a horror movie I swear.
18:57: [Gaunt] were ok tho
18:57: [Kiki] Mostly okay. I might have a broken rib but I’m just happy to be alive.
18:58: [Spike] Were mostly okay too
18:58: [Spike] Hopped a train or smth to take us west
18:58: [Gaunt] those r still going?? wait what
18:59: [Spike] No this shits not really a train idk what to call it tho
18:59: [Spike] Some long mechanical thing thats melting sand around it
19:00: [Gaunt] oh
19:00: [Gaunt] yeah i mean its fucked up but like
19:00: [Spike] Lyres breathing kinda weird tho I think she inhaled some dust
19:00: [Gaunt] why is everything weird all over this damn place
19:01: [Gaunt] lots to unpack
19:01: [Gaunt] oh shit wait
19:01: [Gaunt] Lyre u good??
19:01: [Kiki] Yeah Lyre are you okay?
19:02: [Spike] She hasnt said anything but she doesnt usually mention when shes hurt so idk

19:02: [Spike] Lemme ask ill need like 15 minutes
19:03: [Gaunt] will do
19:03: [Spike] And yeah everythings fucking weird
19:03: [Spike] Including my only companion
19:04: [Kiki] That’s kind of rude Spike. From what I’ve heard she’s helped you a lot. She’s probably just stressed.
19:05: [Spike] Okay well there is no other word for the shit she does
19:05: [Spike] You dont know so dont fucking nag me
19:08: [Kiki] Okay, sorry.
19:12: [Gaunt] so Lyre
19:12: [Gaunt] how’s it been for you lately?
19:12: [Lyre] Yes I’m okay
19:12: [Lyre] Yes I’m okay
19:12: [Lyre] The plan has gone alright so far, it’s been kind of boring so far, except when Spike does things I don’t expect, but mostly okay
19:13: [Gaunt] wait what do u mean by that last part
19:13: [Lyre] I can’t always predict what Spike does, so it interferes with my plans
19:13: [Gaunt] spike do u not like talk to her or some shit
19:14: [Spike] No she just never asks
19:14: [Spike] And she wont tell me her plans unless I ask specifically in like 3 different ways
19:16: [Kiki] Okay. Lyre, I think if you tell Spike your plans, he won’t interfere with them so much.
19:16: [Kiki] This sounds like a communication issue more than anything.
19:17: [Spike] Yes lyre it would be really helpful if you did this
19:17: [Kiki] Okay great! Glad this was resolved.
19:20: [Gaunt] wait Lyre actually whyd u send the same message twice
19:20: [Lyre] I was answering different questions, they just happened to have the same answer
19:20: [Gaunt] probably not a mistake cuz i mean theres no signal but werent these phones working anyway from like magic or something
19:20: [Gaunt] so it would be weird if it broke now
19:21: [Gaunt] yeah but u dont have to do that right lol
19:21: [Gaunt] also how do u type so fast all the time
19:21: [Lyre] I already know what to say so I’m prepared
19:21: [Kiki] Yeah I was wondering that too. You’ve got lightning fingers haha.
19:22: [Spike] Yeah she does this in conversations too no clue how
19:22: [Gaunt] okay sorry what how????
19:22: [Gaunt] like Lyre u just know what people say before they say it??????
19:22: [Lyre] Yes
19:23: [Kiki] Okay this is officially one of the weirdest things I’ve seen
19:23: [Kiki} And let me tell you that’s saying a LOT.
19:23: [Gaunt] okay what the actual fuck
19:24: [Gaunt] well
19:25: [Gaunt] like i said lots to unpack
19:25: [Spike] Dont expect answers anytime soon ive asked and come up with nothing
19:25: [Gaunt] figures
19:25: [Gaunt] i srsly doubt we get answers for any of this shit
19:26: [Gaunt] especially the shit i rlly wanna know abt
19:26: [Kiki] I mean at least it’s a good kind of weird? Precognition would definitely be useful.
19:27: [Gaunt] well yea but idk yknow its just weird and maybe theres bad parts too we dont know abt
19:27: [Gaunt] its just weird and idk what to do abt it
19:27: [Kiki] Well let’s focus on the good for now. If something else comes up we can deal with it then.
19:28: [Gaunt] tru
19:28: [Gaunt] idle speculation should remain that
19:29: [Spike] I hope we get some fucking answers tho
19:29: [Gaunt] hopefully
