AnotherYear Log 11 - Exa

The following is a Skype chat transcript from 6/7/13. It details a conversation between Exa and I. I believe I may have learned something about her allegiance, and about my role in things... We may have something else to worry about, Ladybugs. ~ Shadows

[12:30:56 AM] Lily: Has Willow returned?
[12:31:18 AM] DarkShadows: no.
[12:31:30 AM] Lily: bah x.x
[12:38:30 AM] Lily: where could she be?
[12:39:28 AM] DarkShadows: I'm not sure... but she wouldn't answer me about Slendy. Then again she's not on very good terms with him.
[12:39:43 AM] DarkShadows: It doesn't seem she likes him.
[12:39:55 AM] DarkShadows: At least from my research.
[12:41:12 AM] Lily: Exa is back. She told me to go bring in a slenderproxy that she needs for a "project" of hers.
[12:41:23 AM] DarkShadows: ... huh.
[12:41:48 AM] DarkShadows: call me nuts, I don't trust her.
[12:42:07 AM] DarkShadows: Any idea what she wants the Proxy for?
[12:42:15 AM] Lily: Who do you trust?
[12:42:43 AM] DarkShadows: ... the lesser evil, and in this case that's Slendy, Willow, and the Seal.
[12:44:52 AM] Lily: Why would she ask me. Im only human. I mean Im not Frank!
[12:45:04 AM] DarkShadows: ... I don't know. But I want to before you say yes.
[12:45:15 AM] DarkShadows: She might try to trick you.
[12:45:22 AM] Lily: you want to what?
[12:45:33 AM] DarkShadows: know what she is planning.
[12:45:50 AM] Lily: want to talk to her?
[12:46:26 AM] DarkShadows: I'm nervous to do it alone... but I might have no choice.
[12:46:36 AM] DarkShadows: I suppose I can call Willow if we need backup.
[12:46:46 AM] Lily [Exa]: Well hello my dear
[12:47:07 AM] Lily [Exa]: long time no talk. How have you been?
[12:47:19 AM] DarkShadows: Hello, Exa. Question, and apologies if this seems out of place... what exactly do you want Lily for?
[12:47:50 AM] DarkShadows: And why a Slenderproxy?
[12:48:12 AM] Lily[Exa]: Oh I need her to bring me a proxy that I need for an experiment of mine.
[12:48:24 AM] Lily[Exa]: I have my reasons.
[12:48:36 AM] DarkShadows: ... what kind of experiment? Because to be honest I don't trust it to be something beneficial to the rest of us.
[12:49:03 AM] DarkShadows: Mistrust is kind of something that happens when you force someone to choose between their friends or serving an eldritch being for eternity.
[12:49:07 AM] Lily[Exa]: oh really. That hurts my feelings Dark.
[12:49:31 AM] Lily[Exa]: I think you owe me an apology.
[12:49:58 AM] DarkShadows: With behavior like what you've been showing how *can* we trust you? But fine. I apologize, and I won't bring it up again.
[12:50:38 AM] Lily[Exa]: If you really want to know
[12:51:01 AM] Lily[Exa]: Im trying to discover the anatomy of a proxy. If it differs from humans.
[12:51:25 AM] DarkShadows: Honestly, I don't think it does... Once human, pretty much always human... They aren't like Altereds. They can die.
[12:52:05 AM] Lily[Exa]: How else can I find that out but with a good dissecting.
[12:52:38 AM] DarkShadows: *shrugs* Ask one? There's other ways to answer questions besides killing and forcibly obtaining, you know. Just saying.
[12:53:24 AM] DarkShadows: ... Whose side are you on here, Exa? Are you trying to help us, or...?
[12:53:37 AM] Lily[Exa]: its not as much fun as this way
[12:53:44 AM] Lily[Exa]: hmm
[12:53:57 AM] Lily[Exa]: do you think Im helping you?
[12:54:09 AM] DarkShadows: I can't imagine someone who enjoys her work as much as you... would want the universe to die and take her with it.
[12:54:23 AM] DarkShadows: Honestly? I think you're somewhat hindering us and you have one of our Ladybugs.
[12:55:21 AM] Lily[Exa]: I dont care what happens either way. If you succeed then great if not then it wont matter.
[12:55:40 AM] Lily[Exa]: I honestly dont care dear
[12:57:37 AM] DarkShadows: Then you're neutral.
[12:57:48 AM] Lily[Exa]: Yes
[12:57:54 AM] Lily[Exa]: speaking of exists
[12:58:00 AM] DarkShadows: Well at least you're not against us...
[12:58:05 AM] Lily[Exa]: Your friend Bunny
[12:58:08 AM] DarkShadows: ...
[12:58:13 AM] Lily[Exa]: Is he serving anyone?
[12:58:20 AM] DarkShadows: No, but you can't have him.
[12:58:35 AM] Lily[Exa]: how not?
[12:58:43 AM] DarkShadows: If he is serving someone, I don't know whom.
[12:59:11 AM] Lily[Exa]: why cant I have him?
[12:59:34 AM] DarkShadows: Because we kind of need our Ladybugs to not be Altered servants.
[12:59:59 AM] Lily[Exa]: why?
[1:00:05 AM] DarkShadows: Because it hinders us.
[1:00:28 AM] DarkShadows: Why the Hell do you want so many of us anyway?
[1:00:47 AM] DarkShadows: What is so special about us?
[1:00:50 AM] Lily[Exa]: Well I was just thinking
[1:01:04 AM] Lily[Exa]: he seemed to want to become an exist
[1:01:10 AM] DarkShadows: He did?
[1:01:29 AM] Lily[Exa]: judging by his conversation with Pandora
[1:01:45 AM] DarkShadows: I don't recall. I get small periods of memory loss every so often.
[1:02:21 AM] Lily[Exa]: I dont really need more servants. I just felt like doing him a favor.
[1:02:44 AM] DarkShadows: Maybe ask when he's here then.
[1:02:56 AM] Lily[Exa]: Pandora is serving his purpose well at the moment.
[1:02:58 AM] DarkShadows: *shrugs* I can't speak for him.
[1:03:08 AM] DarkShadows: What do your servants even do?
[1:03:22 AM] DarkShadows: and what purpose is Pandora serving?
[1:03:45 AM] Lily[Exa]: my normal servants are simply humans who worship me.
[1:03:59 AM] Lily[Exa]: but Pandora...pandora is something else.
[1:04:17 AM] DarkShadows: ... what?
[1:04:30 AM] DarkShadows: is Pandora, that is?
[1:04:50 AM] Lily[Exa]: Pandora is an experiment
[1:05:14 AM] DarkShadows: You are quite scientific, aren't you?
[1:05:17 AM] Lily[Exa]: to see what effect it has on people eating the slime that covers my domain.
[1:05:17 AM] DarkShadows: Curious about things.
[1:05:26 AM] DarkShadows: hm
[1:05:36 AM] Lily[Exa]: Im quite curious
[1:05:56 AM] DarkShadows: That explains why you're neutral then. To see the outcome.
[1:06:01 AM] DarkShadows: ... I can understand that.
[1:06:16 AM] Lily[Exa]: Indeed
[1:06:22 AM] DarkShadows: Being of a scientific bent myself...
[1:06:59 AM] DarkShadows: Don't get any ideas about taking me, I've already got two Eldritch beings that keep tabs on my ass and I don't need more sleepless nights.
[1:07:10 AM] Lily[Exa]: Pandora I took because I felt his past...it lingered over him that he was an unhappy human. I wished to see if I could fix that.
[1:07:18 AM] DarkShadows: hm
[1:07:43 AM] DarkShadows: Admirable, but I'm not sure a tragic past can be fixed with anything other than eventual healing.
[1:08:31 AM] Lily[Exa]: perhaps there is a way to speed up the process
[1:09:01 AM] DarkShadows: ... that's the thing, Exa. Emotions aren't logical. They aren't a process, they're a result.
[1:09:28 AM] DarkShadows: Learning to cope, that's a process.
[1:10:14 AM] Lily[Exa]: I dont understand emotions
[1:10:21 AM] DarkShadows: Far be it from me to explain, then.
[1:10:29 AM] Lily[Exa]: I dislike not understanding
[1:10:50 AM] DarkShadows: I think we all do.
[1:11:07 AM] Lily[Exa]: do you know how old I am?
[1:11:12 AM] DarkShadows: No.
[1:11:30 AM] Lily[Exa]: Care to guess?
[1:11:45 AM] DarkShadows: I would imagine quite old, but you look roughly seven to me.
[1:12:16 AM] DarkShadows: I don't know what the Tall Guy did to you, if he indeed made you.
[1:12:18 AM] Lily[Exa]: Im 12
[1:12:28 AM] DarkShadows: Then my perception is faulty.
[1:13:10 AM] Lily[Exa]: Slenderman did make me. My mind aged rapidly but my body did not.
[1:13:24 AM] DarkShadows: ... Did it hurt you?
[1:13:48 AM] Lily[Exa]: Extremely
[1:13:55 AM] DarkShadows: ... I am sorry.
[1:15:31 AM] Lily[Exa]: The Blind man told me of you. I have read his book that holds all prophecies.
[1:15:38 AM] DarkShadows: hm
[1:15:49 AM] DarkShadows: And what did the Keeper of Memories tell you?
[1:15:53 AM] DarkShadows: about me that is?
[1:16:31 AM] Lily[Exa]: Id rather not say.
[1:16:43 AM] DarkShadows: ... why?
[1:17:51 AM] DarkShadows: Would it be something harmful to know...
[1:18:14 AM] DarkShadows: Or is it really that awful?
[1:18:21 AM] Lily[Exa]: You are referred to as "The Forsaken Creator" in his book.
[1:18:41 AM] DarkShadows: ... Creator of... and Forsaken from... what?
[1:19:01 AM] Lily[Exa]: I dont wish to tell you.
[1:19:07 AM] DarkShadows: *sighs* Fine.
[1:19:10 AM] Lily[Exa]: You arent ready
[1:19:26 AM] DarkShadows: I'll assume you're protecting my puny human mind or whatever.
[1:19:55 AM] DarkShadows: ... But should I be afraid?
[1:20:05 AM] Lily[Exa]: Your mind isnt puny
[1:20:20 AM] Lily[Exa]: And I would be in your shoes.
[1:20:27 AM] DarkShadows: *small smirk* Thanks for the confidence boost.
[1:20:56 AM] DarkShadows: You'd be in my shoes...? Are you trying to say you admire me or something?
[1:21:36 AM] Lily[Exa]: I do
[1:21:56 AM] DarkShadows: Well I suppose that makes more than one being that admires me.
[1:22:33 AM] Lily[Exa]: I have to leave. Ive got to deal with the Wooden Girl now.
[1:22:47 AM] DarkShadows: *nods* Well then, good luck.
[1:22:59 AM] DarkShadows: *small smirk* Kick her ass good and hard for me?
[1:23:02 AM] Lily[Exa]: She is killing my worshippers
[1:23:14 AM] DarkShadows: Then kick her ass twice as hard.
[1:23:30 AM] Lily: Back o.o
[1:23:46 AM] Lily: looks like you two had an interesting discussion.
[1:24:07 AM] DarkShadows: We did.
[1:24:24 AM] DarkShadows: At least I think we know where she lies on our threat scale now.
[1:24:41 AM] DarkShadows: And if she's going to deal with something that wants to fuck us all over, she can't be all bad...
[1:24:45 AM] Lily: Where does she lie?
[1:24:50 AM] DarkShadows: Somewhere around neutral.
[1:25:01 AM] DarkShadows: I think she intends to observe.
[1:25:19 AM] Lily: Thats good
[1:25:24 AM] Lily: I think
[1:25:34 AM] DarkShadows: ... I wish I knew why so many beings seem to admire me.
[1:25:42 AM] DarkShadows: What's so damn special about me?
[1:26:29 AM] Lily: Appearantly you are in the Blind Mans book
[1:26:36 AM] Lily: *reads your convo*
[1:27:39 AM] DarkShadows: Yes.
[1:27:46 AM] DarkShadows: Honestly i'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing.
[1:28:08 AM] Lily: The Forsaken Creator doesnt sound good
[1:29:00 AM] DarkShadows: no.
[1:29:07 AM] DarkShadows: ... now I am even more frightened.
[1:29:27 AM] DarkShadows: ... Why am I forsaken. The creator of what?
[1:29:49 AM] Lily: I dont even know
