<@Ciara> [Night of Tuesday, April 20th, 2004] <@Ciara> [Wataru has gotten an e-mail from Katie regarding Taki, with an offer to explain more.] <@Ciara> [They have agreed to talk over AIM.] <@Ciara> [Spontaneous IM Session Start!] Katie? hi. Hi. What did she do. Oh hang on. What card did you draw last time? what? Last time we were together, what was the last card you drew? Uhhh. Magician. You don't mean like the one I drew from the teacup? Why? Wait, why. Making sure it's you. I'm kind of paranoid. Oh.... Sorry. ... Okay well no cause over here I just thought "oh shit oh shit what Taki did has something to do with the Magician aaaa we're doomed" so Paranoid high five? omg I'm really sorry!! Nah. It's ok. Just wanted to show you, like.. Paranoid's ok or someting :) lol well you're in good company then I guess Anyway with Taki it's not really Magician. It's Hierophant. Hah. Well I knew that part already ;) Oh, no I mean, I didn't know that I knew the thing about the good.. never mind. Hierophant? Her girlfriend's sister? Yeah her. Wait this channel is encrypted right? Um I think so? I had Kaede look at all of my computer stuff at some point b/c I'm the worst. ok. (paranoid party) carry on. :) lol! Ok so Taki's been meeting with her because dating her sister and stuff. Okay. Like Chaperone? & recently Taki also got this anonymous tip Yeah! Taki is uh um how do I put this She is was maybe in love with me? And maybe Satoshi? And uh the Hierophant wanted to make sure she behaves. * yamadadenki12 is seen to be typing then stopping then typing then stopping, then: Okay, that's a thing Ha it really was a thing. Too bad I kind of hate her now. Because of what happened with the Hierophant? No because of stuff from two years ago. I just try to get along with her because Haruko is friends and we were on the same side and I don't want her to be dead. Friends make everything more complicated. : / yeah * katrew is silent for a minute. You still there? Yeah sorry. cool. Taki also got an anonymous tip. not 2 years ago. ;) Now. Right. That's what I was saying - who the hell is giving her of all people tips I mean okay, I mean, maybe I'll have a different opinion at the end of this conversation but I actually kind of like Taki But even then, like idk she doesn't seem the kind of person you'd give anonymous tips to. Like who even is she? Someone with blue & red hair? who lives v firmly in denial land Like I'd buy it from Kaede or even like Haruko, who is a social butterfly but yeah, I mean isn't Taki trying *not* to Arcana? Moving away and cooking things and stuff? Yeah. WHy would someone go to her? It's weird. But, sorry, go on. idk really ok anyway (sounds like a trap is what I'm saying anyway) Yeah so Haruko should be bringing the documents over & also the key. It's all Shuffle & GPS & Aka stuff. So hopefully I can get you to check it out, maybe find some things out. Wait, wait Also maybe the letter the mystery people sent so they can be less mystery. I think some of your messages didn't send? ? you said Taki got a tip but I didn't get anything more about it. And then something about docuents and a key. Yeah that's what Taki got. Like a whole PACKAGE with all this STUFF She got -- whaaat yeah Yamagata? So anyway uh Haruko's got it now. Yamagata talked to Taki before. She might hone in on her. SHe said she wanted to help her. Yamagata is my first guess but could be anybody. Maybe this is her idea of helping. If I get the letter maybe we can figure something out. Yeah. I can take a look at it, I guess. Thanks for keping me in the loop. Sure but anyway my point is Taki told the Hierophant about it. About... The tip, leak, whatever The Hierophant is in on our investigation? idk what but you should k why don't you k Because TAKI ok ok wait let me get this straight Taki told the Hieropant about - the tip, but so also all the shit we're trying to work through?? And she did this without asking anybody. yeah p much I mean I knew she asked about the Council of Mystery books b/c she said she was going to But that was before we knew about Shuffle & Council & stuff. Do we trust the Hierophant? I know nothing about her except belts and maybe Russian? Also I always confuse the Hierophant and Hermit cards but they're very different people This time she said Hinako asked about things she missed or dismissed & Taki said she almost told her about what Satoshi found in America. Are you fucking kidding me. Well "almost" is uh nope a bullet dodged Almost is not Taki thinks It's Taki reality is relative idk what she actually said vs what she THINKS she actually said Jesus Christ. pretty much So do we trust the Hierophant Ummmm Well okay so here's the deal. She was on our side vs Sho One of the big things he did was fuck with her powers so she couldn't see what she needed to clearly. & she also gathered us for the battle at the end & etc. We also know she's on this Council thing & it's not like she told any of us about it. She's *on* the Council? That means she's working with EvilMom, doesn't it? Yeah probably. god fuck sorry what how I mean dkfsn Taki said she's "doubtful" about the Council's direction but thinks that they're the best way for peace or whatever. wha tthe FUCK is wrong with Taki is i mean she didn't SEEM like an idiot is she an idiot agh AGH brb k * yamadadenki12 is away for a few minutes! * katrew hangs out, maybe? Okay, I'm back. * katrew responds immediately: you ok? Yep. ok I had to let out some steam. Didn't break anything or anything! Well a kleenex box but whatevs Good! lol When I read Taki's e-mail I had to leave for like an hour and just run around idk is that weird? don't think so. She emailed you about all this? Haruko first about the tip but yeah then Taki about the Hierophant stuff. Yeah you said Haruko's enabling? Right so I don't know for sure but Haruko's kind of got a history of this sort of? what of being too nice to idiots Of being weird about secrets and playing multiple sides. Also yeah that too like Haruko is the only one who really wants to be friends with Taki I think? Ugh multiple sides can'T we just have the one also: not true, I.. did? before? I guess? legitimately want to be friends with Taki. I'm not sure anymore : / Sorry. She screwed up really bad in the past I don't trust her not to screw up again. well uh case in point right sounds like she already did case in point yeah So what do we do? Not sure. Thinking. I mean Taki teleports it's not like we can keep her in a sunny room full of comics and baking supplies and wait for this to blow over lol Wall her off in Osaka. oh shit that's true she's leaving to UNSUPERVISED-LAND is this bad I hope not...? Well either way I'll keep Taki out of all loops from now on and uh await further instructions :P lol I'm sorry. Sounds like I'm ordering you around. Fearless leader. Don't worry about it, I mean, I just want to do what's best for everybody pretty much and I would lose my shit if she started telling people about what Satoshi found in America so I'm going to listen to what you Arcana sempais have to say here, for sure. aw :) Well I kinda typed in a lot of caps at her so I hope she doesn't let's cross fingers and toes. Crossing toes is hard. :( God it's like... I don't even know ha yes it is Well, thanks for telling me what went down. I hope we're just overreacting and everything turns out unreasonably fine Yeah. Me too. I still know better now than to trust Taki with my secrets That's best. I * katrew goes silent for a minute. * yamadadenki12 is patient. I hoped she learned some stuff by now. And was just less her. I guess. I should get going. Kyon will be home soon. But she's the same + souffles? mmm yeah maybe Still running. Yeah, honestly I'm falling the sleep now Asleep even wtf lol FALLING THE SLEEP LOL it's okay there's sleep at the bottom I am though Sleep well! :) falling all the way down the sleep Thanks! You too. lol! Talk to you soon. Yes. Good night. <@Ciara> [End!]
