[It's the early evening at Alhambra when the one and only Abyss Empress makes her arrival via TSEN.  She's also wearing a more modern and sensible dress than the ones she ends up sporting whenever she invokes the Abyss Sanction.]

So I'm here to pick up my date for the evening... assuming he didn't forget.

[Whee for the aftermath of this thread.  Anyone who wants to tag along in seekrit, discussing stuff with each other is free to do so, as is pre-date discussions!]

You say that but the only payroll I'm getting right now is access to the cafeteria. At my age it's good to know what your limits are.

Besides, if I was any better I should have been able to do much more than I have able to.

I wouldn't about that, I have been living out of a robot for the last decade. It does sound like they really got into the whole parenting though.

That they did. Took a little getting used to though. They were meant to be my retainers, as we talked about when we met.

Though Willis...



Please don't discount the good you have done for people here though. Seta's... well obviously it's not hard to see some of myself in her. But I spent my life surrounded by people who knew what I was and were willing to support me in spite of every reason to hate me.

You did something for her that possibly nobody else could've.

Like I said, you're giving me too much credit.

[This is said with the same sly smile that he always has on.]

[empress_without_a_throne]

And you're giving yourself too little... so let's just say it averages out somewhere in between.

[a_linear_mind]

That's still probably too much for me.
