Aoi: "I spilled bubble tea on my PC pls tell me you got this message so I know everything works" (chart R1C3)[]

  • Aoi: I spilled bubble tea on my PC pls tell me you got this message so I know everything works

      • (Jump to below branch 'Aoi: omg thank all the gods. ...' )
    • Aoi: omg thank all the gods. Amir would never have let me live that down
      • > What kind of tea did you say it was?
        • Aoi: bubble tea! it's a milky tea with chewy little tapioca pearls

              • Aoi: ok don't make fun of me
              • Aoi: I didn't have room on my desk so I sat my drink on the tower. then I was settling in, getting comfy
              • Aoi: when I crossed my legs, my knee hit the bubble tea and BAM. Tea EVERYWHERE. Not a drop left in the cup!
              • > The weirdest part of that story was when you sat cross-legged at a computer desk.

                • Aoi: pity meee! I only got like one sip and bubble tea's tough to come by around here!
                • > Okay, fair enough. That sucks. Silver lining is you didn't break anything though, right?
                  • Aoi: I do love a silver lining ^_^
                  • > And we don't even have to tell Amir.

                          • Aoi: I simply separated the metal in the keyboard from the liquid (and tapioca) then rebuilt it ^_^ good as new!
                          • > Damn, your power are no joke.
                            • Aoi: aww shucks ^_^

Aoi: "do you know where my On-lyne CD ended up?" (R1C_)[]

  • Aoi: do you know where my On-lyne CD ended up?"
  • > Nope. Can you track it down with your metal powers?
    • Aoi: LOL I wish!
    • Aoi: the CD's plastic anyway
    • > Oh... Well, metal makes a big comeback in the future
      • Aoi: {Sly, gleeful emoticon}

  • > Quincy’s gunshots keeping you up?
    • Aoi: it’s fiiine. this is a big mall. I can always find somewhere further from Quincy to nap
    • > I’m sure he doesn’t need to shoot things at *all* hours.
      • Aoi: nah it’s for the best that I didn’t reach him. he needs to let off steam. I get it.
      • > I can say something to Arthur for you, if you want.
      • > That’s kind of you.
        • Aoi: why thank u
        • > Hey. I get it. I’d never tell Ordis how his jokes keep me up sometimes.
          • Aoi: Ordis a friend of urs?
          • > Yeah, he’s the Cephalon intelligence that runs my spacecraft.
            • Aoi: a Cephalon is like… a wut exactly?
            • > They’re people whose consciousness was uploaded to virtual space (usually by force.)
            • > They’re like a digital intelligence.
              • Aoi: oh! like a robot
              • > But without a body.
                • Aoi: oh! like the internet
                • (jump to "only hella futuristic")
              • > I suppose.

                    • > Sweet dreams {Convo. Ends}
          • > No, he’s the Cephalon intelligence that runs my spacecraft.
        • > You should really look out for yourself more though.
      • > As long as you’re getting enough sleep, that’s cool.
        • Aoi: u wouldn't believe how cozy clothing stores can be
        • (rest is same as the tree after "That's kind of you")
    • > You can still message him.
  • > Sounds like you’re having a tough time.
  • > [Don’t respond.]

Aoi: “u've told me so many awful stories {...}” (R4C6)[]

  • Aoi: u've told me so many awful stories about the Orokin... was there ever anyone who turned their back on their way of life?
  • > Most of them ended up dead. But Albrecht Entrati did, in his own way.
    • Aoi: ugh, that guy. always slipping through death's grip.
    • Aoi: and here I was hoping it'd be someone... cooler.
    • > Sorry to disappoint. He's your guy. Refused Kuva, which allows them to be immortal. Didn't go for the fashionable long arm. None of it.
      • only to chase after what served him best, I'm sure.
      • > What do you really think of Entrati? Beyond the "uncool" verdict.
        • Aoi: I have no respect left to lose for the guy ^_^
        • Aoi: people like him only pretend to be charming when it serves them
        • > So you found him charming at some point.
          • Aoi: i wouldn't go that far. more like I was open to respecting him.
          • Aoi: but he threw that away.
          • Aoi: he devours whatever he touches. not even the whole universe would be enough for him.
          • > And you knew that early on? You're the most intuitive in the Hex. If anyone would've had a gut feeling, it'd be you.
            • Aoi: thank you ^_^
            • Aoi: not right away, but pretty early, I got this sinking feeling like something bad was about to happen every time he was nice
            • Aoi: and back then, I didn't have the words for it, but it always felt like HE would be the one behind whatever went wrong.
            • Aoi: but when he has everyone around u fooled, what can u really do?
            • > Do you think he actually had everyone fooled?
              • Aoi: well, maybe not
              • Aoi: more like everyone was too scared to challenge him
              • Aoi: which annoys me to no end.
              • > You're not alone there. He left his mark on everyone.
                • Aoi: ugh, not even the future is safe from that guy.
                • > Yeah. He left behind his lover to mend the damage he did to countless people... and animals.
                  • Aoi: that's just him. that's what he does.
                  • Aoi: he's the only being of emptiness I've ever known.
                  • Aoi: when he finds something he wants, he consumes it completely, then tosses it away when it's spent. always in the most heartless, self-serving way.
                  • > I doubt even the people who like him would deny that.
                    • Aoi: give my regards to everyone he hurt in the future.
                    • > You know it's serious when Aoi starts using periods and stops using emoticons.
                      • Aoi: lol u know me so well it's scary
                      • Aoi: look, when I think of the doktor, I remember the first time I saw fear in Arthur's eyes
                      • Aoi: I think of Amir in total panic, Eleanor unable to speak, Quincy hardening his heart, and Lettie too overwhelmed to save the people around her
                      • Aoi: and I know the doktor would smile hearing that...
                      • Aoi: but there are also good things too
                      • > After a list like that, it's hard to imagine what those good things could be.
                        • Aoi: I have a collection of metal cranes that might one day grant me a wish
                        • Aoi: and every day, I see small acts of defiance from and old, forgotten mall in Höllvania that remind me the human spirit is unbreakable
                        • Aoi: and of course, I met u
                        • > Hmm. If nothing else, your perspective alone proves the human spirit really can't be broken.
                          • Aoi: (づ▽^)
                          • Aoi: as long as there are people who care for each other, people like Entrati will never consume everything
                          • > Well, you can count on me to care.
                            • Aoi: <3 I've never doubted u {Convo. Ends}
                          • > Let's make sure Entrati never wins.
                        • >You're right. Those are good things. (jump to above branch starting with 'as long as there are people who care for each other, people like Entrati will never consume everything')
                        • >That list seems pretty weak compared to Albrecht Entrati, Consumer of Worlds.
                      • > Would you count your powers among those good things?
                        • Aoi: u know what? I think I would. (jump to above branch starting with 'I have a collection of metal cranes that might one day grant me a wish')
                    • > Sorry If I dragged up some dark memories.
                      • Aoi: no, it's ok... (jump to above branch starting with 'look, when I think of the doktor, I remember the first time I saw fear in Arthur's eyes)
                    • >We don't have to talk about him ever again.
                  • > Yeah... "uncool" is starting to sound like an understatement.
                    • Aoi: LOL. I've never met anyone less cool!
                    • >Sorry If I dragged up some dark memories.
                      • Aoi: no, it's okay... (jump to above branch starting with 'look, when I think of the doktor, I remember the first time I saw fear in Arthur's eyes)

              • > If it's any comfort, he's had the same effect where I'm from too.
                • Aoi: that's... bittersweet, I guess.
                • >He left behind a daughter who's still trying to fix the pieces he shattered. Angry as she is, I feel like she can't help believing him. (jump to above branch starting with 'that's just him. that's what he does.')
                • Yeah. He left behind his lover to mend the damage he did to countless people... and animals. (see up)
            • > I guess you wait for them to see it for themselves.
          • >I'm inclined to agree with you.
          • >I don't know. There's an awful lot of universe out there :P
        • > What do you think he's really after?
          • Aoi: control. complete domination.
          • Aoi: not in the fun, pop star world-tour way either.
          • Aoi: he devours whatever he touches. not even the whole universe would be enough for him.
          • > And you knew that early on? You're the most intuitive in the Hex. If anyone would've had a gut feeling, it'd be you. (jump to above branch starting with 'thank you. ^_^')

      • Hah. I'm not an Orokin. I'm just from their empire. Very different.
    • > Yeah, um... I'll think of a cool Orokin. Give me a minute.
      • Aoi: well, there's u, I guess ^_^

      • >Hah. I'm not an Orokin. I'm just from their empire. Very different.
        • Aoi: ooooh. confusing
        • Aoi: i really didn't like entrati, though. people like him only pretend to be charming when it serves them
        • > What do you think he's really after? (jump to branch above starting with 'control. complete domination.')

Aoi: would u believe I just listened to an album {...}[]

  • Aoi: would u believe I just listened to an album that dropped the line "chicks actin dumb" in four different songs?
  • Aoi: straight to the trash is goooes!
  • > Besides those lyrics, was the rest of the album okay?
  • > Sounds incredibly lame.
    • Aoi: meaning aside, using the same line that many times is TOTALLY unoriginal
    • Aoi: ... but I admit my personal experience might be clouding my judgement. other parts of the album were fine.
    • Aoi: should I fish it out of the trash for u so u can give it an unbiased listen? ^_^
    • > I'll pass, but I'd love to hear what personal experience you're referring to.
    • > Back up. Personal experience? Who's ever called you a "chick acting dumb?"
      • Aoi: oooh I've heard it aaall
      • Aoi: even when I served with distinction in the ICR. Officer Barnier saw me bopping to a song in my head one time and said, "We need to do something about that one. She's ditzy."
      • > What an asshole.
        • Aoi: well, it said more about him than me. he showed me nice and early that he wasn't worth my time
        • Aoi: a blessing in disguise ^_^
        • > His loss.
          • Aoi: [complicated emoticon] {Notes: 8}
          • Aoi: I came to the conclusion a long time ago that it's an advantage to be seen as ditzy
          • > How so?

Aoi: “hey, um...” (R4C4)[]

  • Aoi: hey, um...
  • Aoi: this might sound corny, but it's important to me, so I'm just gonna say it.
  • Aoi: u make me feel like I belong
  • > I don't know if I can take credit for that. Someone as incredible as you always belong with good people.
    • Aoi: maybe... in a way
    • Aoi: I mean, I know how to fit in anywhere, but that's not the same as truly belonging.
    • > I get that. Being appreciated is one thing. Feeling seen for who you really are is another.
      • Aoi: exactly. and that's what you give me. even when things are chaotic or scary, with you, I feel... hmm...
      • Aoi: at home
      • > You've always felt like home to me too. Maybe I just didn't know how to say it until now.
        • Aoi: sorry, I don't want to sound selfish, but... could you expand on that?
        • > I like you, Aoi. More than a friend. A lot, actually.

      • > You're a rare kind of friend, Aoi. One of the best. I'll always make sure you feel seen.
    • > No, I guess it's not. Belonging is being seen for who you are and knowing that's enough.
    • > Truly belonging is a tall order.
  • > Me? But Aoi, everyone in the Hex absolutely adores you. Trust me.
  • > The thought that you don't always feel that way honestly breaks my heart.

Aoi: "may I introduce u to a friend? 'Mr Piano' is his name." (R4C7)[]

  • Aoi: may I introduce u to a friend? 'Mr Piano' is his name.
  • > Sign me up.
    • Aoi: let us begin first with: why music? why piano?
    • Aoi: it's easier to start a piano lesson this way because umm, i can't find a piano. so let's stick to theory.
    • > Ok, let's stick to theory.
      • Aoi: yay! so, to really catch you up, music has been really important here for like, ever. guys and girls would sit at a piano instead of a tv and just create.
      • Aoi: playing... writing... really a song is a bit like communicating through music. you don't even need lyrics!
      • Aoi: but imagine it - creating something for this world of ours that can make people cry? dance? sing? it's magic to me.
      • > Magic? I don't think so. I do like a good song though.
      • > Music has been part of what I've been though. Memories through songs, I get it.
        • Aoi: Please tell me about a song then.
        • > Music can define memories. "Smiles from Juran" is a song I heard in mind, the memories, of someone who lost everything.
        • > Music can be hopeful. There's something about knowing "We All Lift Together", right?
          • > Finding joy through song, meaning, shared experience.
          • > It's fun. It's hopeful. A lot of us don't get to choose our life circumstances.
          • >But we can still choose to sing together, about it all. About nothing. Just sing.
          • Aoi: Music is powerful.
          • Aoi: this is embarassing but, i have a similar story. not nearly as heavy but still... maybe you'll understand.
          • Aoi: when i was a kid, like 'kid Aoi', i wanted to be friends with everyone.
          • > Sounds like the Aoi I know.
            • Aoi: [happy emoticon]
            • Aoi: but there was this one kid, who the bullies would ALWAYS pick on. Always.
            • Aoi: and they would sing mean songs about the kid. awful, mean songs.
            • Aoi: and when i saw music being used to cause pain, it broke something in me as a kid. i didn't understand.
            • Aoi: i still don't understand. but i knew then that i could fight back without raising a fist, even if it meant embarassing myself.
            • > So what did you do?
              • Aoi: i sang louder than the bullies. it was a stupid song, i don't even remember how it went.
              • Aoi: but it worked.
              • Aoi: and when they tried to bully me, they would throw CD's at me, but guess what?
              • > The CD's were made of metal?
                • Aoi: ha! nope. i got free music! score for Aoi!
                • Aoi: i guess wut i'm hoping you know and everyone here, is that i'd sing louder for all of you.
                • Aoi: always.
              • > You crushed them?
                • Aoi: ha! nope. i got free music! score for Aoi!
                • Aoi: i guess wut i'm hoping you know and everyone here, is that i'd sing louder for all of you.
                • Aoi: always.
            • > Did you embarass yourself?
          • > Really? Aoi being Friendly?
        • > Music can be evil, Aoi. These people that I tried to save, they were cursed by song. "For Narmer" they sang out.
    • > How hard did you look?
      • Aoi: well, kinda hard? i wansn't sure about going into empty apartments out there...
      • Aoi: ugh. Scaldra. they probably destroyed them. why would they let something hopeful like an instrument survive this place?
      • Aoi: but wait, let me ask u then, if there is music in the future, maybe there's hope. so...
      • Aoi: Please. tell me about a song then.
      • > Music can define memories. "Smiles from Juran" is a song I heard in mind, the memories, of someone who lost everything.
      • > Music can be hopeful. There's something about knowing "We All Lift Together", right? (Look up)
      • > Music can be evil, Aoi. These people that I tried to save, they were cursed by song. "For Narmer" they sang out.
    • > Where would we find a piano?
  • > Not right now. [End.]

Aoi: "I've never thanked u for being so cool with Eleanor"[]

  • Aoi: I've never thanked u for being so cool with Eleanor
  • Aoi: so thank u <3
  • > You don't need to thank me, but I appreciate it.
    • Aoi: u wouldn't have been the first in the Hex to be wary of Eleanor. and, trust me, I love everyone in the Hex, so I would've understood-but also would've worked hard to change your mind.
    • > People doubted Eleanor? Seriously?
    • > I find it hard to believe Arthur ever tolerated people being wary of his sister.
      • Aoi: in the early days , Lettie and Quincy had their doubts. they worried she might go full-tech-rot. Arthur wouldn't hear it, so they kept their concerns quiet, but we all felt it on some level. and if *we* sensed it, imagine how sharp and clear it was to Eleanor
      • > Thank Sol for Arthur. He's a good brother.
      • > That must have been unbearable for her, always knowing what people were thinking.
        • Aoi: they were just scared. fear makes people act in strange ways.
        • > Clearly, the team has come a long way since then.
          • Aoi: I've heard it said that what really traumatizes people isn't what happens to them, but how they react to it. knowing who Lettie and Quincy are at heart, I'm sure if their fear had led to anything happening to Eleanor , they'd never have forgiven themselves.
          • > Did it almost come to that?
          • > It's hard to blame them for being human, I guess.
            • Aoi: after the transformation, Eleanor paid close attention to how everyone reacted. I could see her weighing her options, thinking she might do more harm than good by staying. she wanted to help the Hex, but the way some people looked at her made her wonder if she could help more from a distance.
            • > That's ridiculous. With psychic powers like hers? She's invaluable.
            • > That's so unfair. They didn't see how much she was willing to give up for the Hex.
              • Aoi: she thought she could use her powers from afar, stay connected without burdening us with her presence.
              • > I see. She was willing to sacrifice being with the team just to make them feel safe.
              • > Being alone in Höllvannia would have put her in so much danger.
                • Aoi: one night, when even Amir had gone to sleep, she actually did almost leave. quietly, in the dead of night. she didn't want to burden us with goodbyes.
                • > That's heartbreaking.
                  • Aoi: i hate to imagine what could have happened... I'd been keeping an eye on her tho, trying to be there for her.
                  • Aoi: u know that feeling when ur with someone but they're not really there? when their mind keeps drifting, no matter how much they try to stay present? I noticed that...
                  • > It sounds like you were exactly what she needed in that moment.
                    • Aoi: I wasn't sure how much of her distance was just her learning to manage her psychic powers or her consciously checking how people saw her. so, I started keeping tabs on her too.
                    • Aoi: the second I sensed her atomicycle booting up, I locked down every atomicycle in the garage and ran on to stop her.
                    • > So it was you. You're the reason she stayed.
                      • Aoi: I would've let her go if that's what she really wanted. but she wasn't leaving without a heart-to-heart with me first, haha.
                      • > That's so you haha. I'm guessing the heart-to-heart went well?
                      • > I'm glad you were there for her. That night probably changed everything for her.
                        • Aoi: oh, we talked until the sun came up. since Amir was asleep, we even played some pinball-just the two of us.
                        • Aoi: it was silly and fun, the kind of fun Eleanor desperately needed.
                        • > How did you convince her that everything was okay?
                        • > Sometimes, the simplest things make the biggest difference.
                          • Aoi: I don't think it was any one thing I said. it was just... being there. being a friend.
                          • Aoi: it was the first time since her transformation that someone showed her she was more than Arthur's fragile sister to be protected. I think that night helped her see she could carve out her own place in the Hex.
                          • > I'm glad you did that. She needed it.
                          • > That's what true leadership looks like, Aoi.
                            • Aoi: I need it too, honestly. we're all stronger when we know we belong.
                            • > Eleanor's stronger than people give her credit for, but having you by her side made all the difference.
                              • Aoi: I guess I just realized, having u join us, we could havbe relived that whole awful chapter again
                              • Aoi: but we didn't have to. u understood right away
                              • Aoi: so thank u
                              • > Eleanor deserves to be seen for the amazing woman she is.
                              • > It was nothing. We've got each other's backs.
                              • > Thanks for being there for Eleanor.
                              • > You're the glue that holds this team together Aoi.
                                • Aoi: ur one of my favorite people <3 just so u know [End.]
                            • > Well, I commend you for keeping that team together.
                      • > And that heart-to-heart probably saved her-and the Hex.
                    • > That was brave.
                  • > When it comes to the team's happiness, nothing gets past you.
                • > Luckily for everyone, she clearly didn't.
                • > She must have felt so alone at that moment.
        • > I wish they could have seen past their fear back then.
      • > I'm really dissapointed in Lettie and Quincy.
  • > Of course. She's part of the Hex.
  • > You were worried I'd be mean to her?

Aoi: "Quincy told me he'd kill me if I ever told anyone this story" (R5C4)[]

  • Aoi: Quincy told me he'd kill me if I ever told anyone this story
  • Aoi: but he's all talk and u and I are so very close now so I'm just gonna get it off my chest
  • Aoi: sorry ur involved too now <3
  • > Uuh no I'm not. Don't tell me. I'm not signing up for a problem with Quincy.
  • > Tell me everything.
    • Aoi: ok, so we were on this mission to sabotage Scaldra weapon production. I was doing the metalwork, Quincy had my back, watching for any patrols.
    • Aoi: it went supers smoothly! exactly as planned, but on our way back, we got stopped by a bunch of kids. they recognized Quincy instantly.
    • > Sorry, was that a typo? I'm sure you meant "we got stopped by a bunch of SCALDRA who recognized Quincy instantly."
    • > Oh no. These poor kids must have been terrified.
      • Aoi: not quite!
      • > Well, what did he do?
      • Aoi: guess!
      • > Used colorful language and no uncertain terms to tell them to get out of his way?
      • > Shoved past them?
      • > Ignored them?
      • > Was he... really nice to them?
        • Aoi: why yes he was! you know our Quincy better than I thought <3
        • Aoi: he SMILED at them. it was like he forgot I was there for a sec. dropped the whole tough guy act
        • > Those kids must have adored him.
          • Aoi: he knew them by name! "Hey Miko, I found one of those tammpets you told me about. Swiped it for ya."
          • > So Quincy went on a side quest to find a tammpet for some Höllvanian kid?
            • Aoi: I swear on Zeke's life!
            • Aoi: Quincy actually pulled one of those little digital pet things out of his pocket and gave it to the kid.
            • Aoi: Sol only knows how long he's had it, or how long he'd spent searching through Höllvania to find it
            • Aoi: once that funny little horned creature appeared on screen, I don't know who was smilling bigger. the kid or Quincy seeing the kid so happy
            • > You know, now that I'm picturing it, that really sounds like him.
              • Aoi: u think? either ur hella good at reading people or u and Quincy have a special bond <3

                • Aoi: ya <3
                • Aoi: he pretends he's all about the mission, but deep down, he's got a heart of gold. he still goes out sometimes just to bring a bit of happiness to those kids
                • > Think he could find me a tammpet?

'You know...' (About the Arcade) (R3C4)[]

    • Aoi: oh, I thought about it. a few times, actually. but when it comes to leading people into battle, there's only one thing more important than good gear: good morale.
    • > Morale?
      • Aoi: scrapping the arcade would crush Amir. it's not just games to him, u know? it's a reminder of normalcy, something that keeps him smiling.

                  • Aoi: they were great. just kinda distant.
                  • Aoi: we didn't always see eye-to-eye
                  • > I'm sure that's true for most kids.
                    • Aoi: ur probably right. funny how we can all be so similar yet so different.
                    • Aoi: I had a very high risk tolerance for my own life. my parents? not so much
                    • Aoi: they were so upset when I told them I'd enlisted to be a soldier. didn't make much difference to them that it was for peace keeping
                    • > They were concerned for their daughter's safety.
                      • Aoi: definitely. wish I'd been more grateful for that at the time... and more understanding.
                      • Aoi: I'm incredibly lucky to have parents who cared as deeply as they did. it's just a shame our family never found a way to show it openly
                      • Aoi: if I get a chance to see them again, I'll make things right. I'll shower them in love haha
                      • > You'll see them again one day. I'm sure of it.
                        • Aoi: u know, hearing someone else say that makes it feel more true <3
                        • Aoi: it's nice to be asked about mom and dad:)
                        • Aoi: most of the hex get so bummed out remembering home. we don't talk about home much.
                        • > I can understand why they'd feel that way.
                          • Aoi: ya. me too.
                          • Aoi: well, I'd better get going for now
                          • > Thanks for letting me get to know you better.
                            • it's easy when you make me feel so safe <3 {chat ends}

(About Aoi being the strongest/most heroic) (R5C3)[]

  • > You've got to be the strongest hero in the Hex. I mean, considering everyone here is partly metal, you're definitely not one to be messed with.
    • (Line required)
  • > I've been thinking, out of everyone on the team, your instinct to always look out for others makes you the most heroic of us all.
    • Aoi: <3
    • Aoi: u sound just like Amir
    • > First time in my life I've been told that.
      • (Line required)
    • > Why thank you. How so?
      • Aoi: it's just that when Amir first joined the Hex, he'd joke about me being this superhero
        • (Jump to below branch 'Aoi: ... and him being my sidekick' )
    • > Really? What makes you say that?
      • Aoi: it's just that when Amir first joined the Hex, he'd joke about me being this superhero
      • Aoi: ... and him being my sidekick
      • Aoi: it was sweet but also a little sad
      • > That's surprising. Amir always seems so confident.
        • Aoi: it took time. Amir joined us without any military experience, so the fighting was overwhelming for him
        • Aoi: he just needed to see that being a hero wasn't all about combat
          • (Jump to below branch 'Aoi: I always knew that a hacker...' )
      • > A sidekick, huh? That doesn't sound like the Amir I know now. What changed?
        • (Line required)
      • > Sad? I thought you two were close.
        • Aoi: oh, we are! Amir's my best friend. some of my favorite memories are us in the arcade, gaming and rocking out to On-lyne
        • Aoi: but the whole sidekick thing? I could tell he felt... small.
        • Aoi: I always knew that a hacker as great as him could be a hero in his own way
        • > So what changed for him? He doesn't seem like anyone's sidekick now.
          • Aoi: I can't take all the credit, but I was there when he had his breakthrough.
          • Aoi: one day, I caught this wild broadcast from an On-lyne fan who'd pieced together some shady details about HitMaker (that's On-lyne's label)
          • Aoi: she was basically begging for someone to help them, and Amir jumped in without hesitation
          • > How'd Amir get involved in something like that?
            • (Line required)
          • > Amir? I thought it would have been you running to On-lyne's rescue.
            • (Line required)
          • > This sounds like a legendary Aoi-Amir team-up to me.
            • Aoi: a super-fan joining forces with a super-hacker? nothing could stop us!
            • Aoi: he hacked into their manager's emails and uncovered a mess of deals with the Scaldra. they'd been cloning the band and putting them in danger, all covered up by their management
            • Aoi: bleh!
            • Aoi: without Amir's skills, none of that would've come to light
            • > Wow. That's incredible. Amir really uncovered all that?
              • (Same as below branch)
            • > You know, if it's true that knowledge is power, hackers really are powerful.
              • Aoi: u bet. the whole ordeal totally helped him realized he wasn't just a sidekick. he was a hero in his own right ^_^
              • > As if there could ever have been any doubt.
                • Aoi: right?
                • Aoi: ur a hero too, u know <3 {Continues the same as the "And you still get to rock out..." branch}
              • > And you still get to rock out in the arcade together
                • Aoi: just two heroes taking a break!
                • Aoi: ur a hero too, u know <3
                • > That means a lot coming from you.
                  • Aoi: oh u <3 {Convo. Ends}
                • > Makes me feel awfully good hearing that.
                  • (Line required)
                • > You charmer.
                  • Aoi: guilty;) {Convo. Ends}
        • > And you played a big part in helping him realize that, didn't you?
          • (Jump to above branch 'Aoi: I can't take all the credit...' )
    • > Is that a compliment?
      • (Line required)

(About coming to Höllvania / Meet Hex) (R3C4)[]

  • > So, how did you end up in Höllvania?
    • (Same as below branch)
  • > How did you meet the Hex, anyway?
    • Aoi: that cheery tale begins with the ICR (International Crisis Response) unit I served on with Arthur
    • Aoi: nations united in an endless battle for peace! they sent us to Höllvania
    • > Fight and peace always look funny when paired in a sentence
      • Aoi: the irony's not lost on me
      • > So, why did you join the ICR?
        • Aoi: hmmm
        • Aoi: u ever have someone try to get all philosophical on you, saying something like...
        • Aoi: "we all THINK we'd stand up for what's right, but u never kno til ur actually in the moment of truth. u might just freeze up! the intensity could totally overwhelm u!!"
        • > Oh yes. I know exactly the type.
          • Aoi: right? dont you just hate that kinda posturing?
          • Aoi: whether I'd answer the call or not was never a question for me. honestly, I spent most of high school just trying not to fight- or at least not to argue
          • > Why hold back?
            • Aoi: I always believed in the whole "pick your battles" thing... not that I would have admitted it back then
            • > What kind of battles are we talking here?
              • Aoi: anything about the strong picking on the weak got under my skin. that and bad leaders
              • > Makes sense you and Amir would get along well
                • Aoi: ^_^ we have a blast! everyone else is serious *all the time* lol. honestly, without him, I'd probably feel pretty isolated (continues as below)
              • > I'm guessing you've wanted to deck Quincy a few times.
                • Aoi: LOL hey, Quincy's not as mean as he pretends to be. he's always looking out for the underdog, so he's good in my book.
                • > So, when the chance to fight for peace with the ICR came along, it must've felt natural.
                  • Aoi: exactly
                  • Aoi: enlisting in the ICR felt like a way to channel the fire I always had into something meaningful
                    • > No regrets enlisting in the ICR?
                      • Aoi: none. I really believe someone has to fight to protect those who call for peace
                      • Aoi: no matter what happens to me, I know I spent my life fighting for that ideal. I'm proud of that
                        • > That's not the answer I expected, but I've come to expect the unexpected from you.
                          • Aoi: u know how I love to exceed expectations;)
                          • Aoi: talk more soon?
                          • > Yeah, I'd like that.
                          • Aoi: (੭˃ᴗ˂)੭ {Convo. End}
                • > I think I would have liked having you as a friend growing up.
                  • Aoi: cuz u have that fire inside too, don't you? I like that about u
                  • Aoi: enlisting in the ICR felt like a way to channel the fire I always had into something meaningful
                    • > No regrets enlisting in the ICR?
                      • Aoi: none. I really believe someone has to fight to protect those who call for peace
                      • Aoi: no matter what happens to me, I know I spent my life fighting for that ideal. I'm proud of that
                        • > That's not the answer I expected, but I've come to expect the unexpected from you.
                        • > I'm beginning to see how exceptional you are. Thank you for letting me in on a deeper level.
                          • Aoi: only fair, right? since I wanna know you on that deep level too
                          • Aoi: talk more soon?
                          • > Yeah, I'd like that
                          • > Sure.
                            • Aoi: • ᵕ • {Convo. End}

(About Duviri)[]

  • >Look who's online
  • >So. What's on Aoi's mind today?
    • Aoi: how kind of you to ask! i was wondering about Duviri, if ur willing to share
    • >Heh. Right, well, you remember those literal dragons I told you about? That's where they were.
      • Aoi: i really want to see them they sound SO COOL
      • >You know how I can use Transference to steer you around? I can use Transference on an Orowyrm too. That is *really* weird.
        • Aoi: (Surprised emoticon)
        • Aoi: what's it like to be a dragon?!?!
        • >The turning radius is shokingly *terrible*
        • >Strange, at first. But getting to fly? That's so much fun.
          • >I just wish it lasted. And that it wasn't trying to actively *kill me*
          • Aoi: but they sound like they'd be fun to fight, though
          • >I think with you by my side, nothing could stop us. Not an Orowyrm. Not the Indifference. Nothing.
            • Aoi: ヽ(*´︶`)ノ♡
            • Aoi: u got that right {Convo. Ends}
          • >When you've got family beside you, watching your back? Nobody stands a chance.
          • >Easy there. They're huge. And dangerous.
      • >They can be, when they're not trying to kill you.
    • >Duviri can be beautiful but it's... also dangerous, like all storybook worlds. Filled with monsters and lessons to learn.

(About Transference) (R5C6)[]

  • > I wanted to ask you something about Transference. {Pondrous emoticon}
    • Aoi: go on... u mean when you 'wear' a warframe? like the thing i am or becoming, i guess?
    • > Yeah. I don't want to make things weird, but I need to know where you stand. Does it bother you?
      • Aoi: I think the Kind answer to give you is the honest one... .. no. It doesn't at all. BUT it could. If I didn't... know you.
      • Aoi: because I trust you. I trust you wouldn't do anything I wouldn't do.
      • > Is there anything you wouldn't do?
        • Aoi: {Quizzical emoticon}
        • Aoi: of course. the list is so long
        • Aoi: i wouldn't leave someone behind if i could save them
        • Aoi: i wuldn't accept a no-win scenario
        • Aoi: shoooooooooould i keep going? i can do this all year
        • > Please. Continue.
          • Aoi: i wouldn't spend my downtime trying to see if my partner was testing my values {Convo. Ends}

(Motivation <stub>) (R5C5)[]

  • > One thing i really admire about you
  • > You've got an impressive amount of drive
