"... Dangerous territory, Slick. Yeah. I think it might have."

Raidou nods, taking the warning for what it is. "Would they have been punished in turn for that?"

[rosewater_path]

"If it was part of the game. But like I said - Sage had left the game. That's never happened before. I mean, never never, not just mortal-never."

[breakaleginhalf]

"How many times have you guys played this, that makes literally-never never so significant?"

[rosewater_path]

She shrugs. "I don't know. Numbers... aren't as simple as you guys think they are. Just like I can't tell you how old I am, and have it mean anything. We've pretty much always played it. Like, always-always. Since we realized you were real."

[capital_asset]

"How did that happen? Realizing we were real, I mean."

[rosewater_path]

"Trial and error, Slick. It took us a long, long time to figure out. And, honestly, it was an accident. We weren't looking for you."

[breakaleginhalf]

Gil frowns slightly. "How did you guys go affecting places before you had us?"

[rosewater_path]

"The way you mean 'affect' and 'places?' We didn't."

She does the fingerquotes.

[breakaleginhalf]

"Okay, uh. Did you guys have other pieces that represented your hac... haecceity, in your rounds? Before us?"

[rosewater_path]

"Not the way you mean."

[capital_asset]

"What were you doing when you found us?"

[rosewater_path]

"... Yeah, sorry Champ. If I talk too much about stuff like that, I could get DQed so hard I bounce. I think we better wrap this up. Unless you've got one for the road?"
