wait you replied here hang on

oh no was i supposed to keep answering here instead still

Okay! Now, we can talk. I'm glad you're all right. It might be worth looking into a way to "unplug" yourself...the network's been really busy lately.

[Atem you have addressed NOTHING she came to talk to you about.]

Yeah.......... :[

um but are you a little more okay now that's still important

And also Mukuro is important too but it's too late for that I guess so, you!!!

I'm making a play spot.

I'm a little more okay, yes. What I went for...it worked, for me and Ryou. It didn't work for Maya, or the Ring-Spirit...but maybe it'll help them along. And what's this about a play spot? I'm not a danger to the people in Hill House, but I understand if my presence is upsetting, so of course I'll follow those rules, but I'm not sure I understand what you're doing...

:/ I dunno she sounded kind of nervous but okay

(Maya's the one that wasn't on camera but still said something right??)

Oh!

Well, even though I know you're not dangerous, and Ray knows, Giorno is still really upset :/ Which is fair because you kind of did a lot to make people upset? On purpose. So um....I guess you did a good job of that but now he's really upset, and so's a bunch of others in the house, and I don't really like making things worse by saying 'well I don't care what you think I'm gonna let anyone I want inside', so.

So I decided I'd make a secret playhouse instead!

And that way you and Ray can still play together! I have a lot of coins so it's not that hard. :0

Don't worry. Like I said, I understand! I won't disturb the peace in your home.

[It was absolutely made to upset people. But not upsetting people wasn't protecting Atem's mind and memories. So, he doesn't mind shouldering the consequences.]

I told Ray the same thing. She wants me to be able to visit her wherever she is...but I knew going into this what the cost would be. I wouldn't have gone this far if I weren't willing to pay it. But a visiting room sounds nice...

[He decides not to confirm Maya. Not if Reira's not certain.]

Of course!

And well :[ Yeah it's good that you knew what was going to happen I guess, even if

[well she's not going to start an argument over something she can't do anything about but]

I just wish it didn't have to do stuff like this to your friends I guess :[

Friendship isn't just in one direction. When you make things happen that make it hard for your friends to see you, it affects them too.

Um!

I'll tell you when it's built ok?

Heh...are you saying I should regret what I did because it makes it harder for my friends to spend time with me? That's one I haven't heard yet!

Um, only sort of?

If you planned everything a different way, then you could've still done what you did without your friends getting sad about it right? Even if everyone else (that includes the ones that aren't your friends) was scared and mad, your friends would know for sure it was gonna happen, all the details, and be able to say 'it's okay because we PREPARED! >:0'

Like the playroom, but earlier or something.

Thinking ahead about everything is hard though. :[

If you'd known what I was planning, Reira, would you have tried to stop me? Not talk me out of it, but really stop me.

[Hmmm. She has to think about that. Eventually she asks-]

Would you have explained why you were doing it?

It's not really right to just ask if someone would stop someone, when that question isn't answered. There's a lot that can change what someone will do when you explain things.

Even with things like brain network, most people can't understand what someone means just by looking at them. Even that doesn't work all the time.

It's really hard to understand without explaining, so of course if no one explains why, people will try and stop them. It's when you explain why that the answer can change.

Ray's pretty sure it was to scare other monsters, not just people. And the best way to make someone watch TV is to make a post on the network, I guess. I think, maybe I would have told you to cut into the network instead though at least. That way, you wouldn't even have to make the newscasters do it.

I don't like that it got aired for a lot of normal people. There's lots of that already, so adding more just feels mean. But, it's pretty hard to get monsters to know you're scary I think. And if that was important, then that was important.

I'm afraid, then, that I'd have done something you didn't like either way... I want monsters and humans to be afraid of me. Monsters, so they'll think twice before hurting me and my friends...and humans, because that's the price of a new power from the Fog.

[Reira doesn't really answer so much as just re-send a picture of what she said, with certain parts underlined; specifically two parts. One being the 'should've cut into a station' (which if he thinks about it for half a second, wouldn't have changed anything beyond cutting out a middle man in the form of the TV station staff), and 'if it was important it was important' (which likely means that it's not about if Reira's upset or not, because ultimately she's still Here, isn't she?)

If there's no reply for a while she sends one more thing though.]

I'm not going to stop being friends just because they do stuff I don't like Atem.

That's almost all of my friends.

Just make sure the people you don't want to scare know things so that they can be more ready :/

You were saying I should have put it on the monster network, right? Like the video clips you post with Ray and Sonic?

[Is there a miscommunication here....? He's not getting what she's trying to say....]

[................ah]

oh

No!!!!!!!

A TV Station is also called a news network!!!! D:

You can cut into TV Channels if you do stuff right, so if you cut into the news network, you would've still gotten everything broadcasted without having to give the news people tapes :[

i'm sorry i didn't realize it sounded like laptop network............................

Oh, THAT was what you meant! That makes sense...it might have saved some trouble with the humans at the news station. Unfortunately, what's done is done...

[He'd been passing news tips and general human-population warnings to Katrina the anchorwoman for eight or nine months...but that relationship's burned, now. And somebody in the back made a copy of the tape and sold it...he'll be looking into that, too.]

Did you have any other critiques on my tier 3 offering?

[At this point, he's teasing.]

Maybe I should discuss what I plan to do for priest with an entire Fourth-aligned committee!

im going to live in my ball pit foreverrrrrrrrrr

[She'll message again don't worry Atem.]

Umn, yeah there's not lots you can fix after :/

UM!! BUT!

that's probably a bad idea i might have to stop you because??? I'm supposed to do that?? :/

A lot of people try different things to make the Fog rank them up but a big one is targeting Elias and I definitely can't just let you do that one B|

It's better to just not tell me if you do that one, then we just fight and see what happens.

um

For things to really not do though

You already scared everyone right? But more importantly, you only killed people who really deserved it this time. You didn't even do that part, technically...

But sometimes when people do stuff to get powers with the gods, they get a LOT of people hurt.

A lot.

So.

Even though whatever you do has to be big, probably...

Please try not to do something like that :[

I know. I don't want to create the kind of problems Javert did...that hurt a lot of people, including ones I care about. And, because I know he's your friend...whatever I do, I won't try to kill Elias. But I understand...if we have to fight, we'll fight! And I won't try to level anyone else up with me...so, the offering won't have to be as big, or have as many kinds of horror as the broadcast did.

Yeah................

Oh! Yay though! :D

It's a promise then! What happens will happen and we'll do our best if we have to :0

um

I'll tell you when the playroom is done though!!
