[ Event: Ball ]
[Just as evening starts to fall, one of the parks in Sector 4 has been festooned with streamers, bright lights in a variety of colors, a big upraised dais, tables of refreshments, and music. It looks like a perfectly normal party from the outside. Optional masks are provided in little bins beside the dais, but you're responsible for your own costumes...!

...And if you're dressed as a character, the moment you step onto the dais, you will believe yourself to have led that character's life for your whole life. This effect will last until "midnight", in this case Sunday, even if you leave the party.]

	...? [Tieria didn't know what to make of that at all.] What? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You were there. [She doesn't feel the need to explain any more than that, nor does she feel she can. Tilting her head down, her eyes are concealed under the brim of her hat.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	For what happened here or at home? [After all, he saw Ribbons bring about his own demise twice, in a way...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	["Both" is what she wants to say, but instead she only nods slightly.] All I ever wanted was to please him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Have you ever considered being independant?

[Tieria had never answered directly to Ribbons. Anything he had done had come and gone through VEDA, though he couldn't deny the possibility that he'd been fed information from Ribbons at times to sway Celestial Being's actions. He wasn't sure, but he wouldn't have been surprised to find out if that had been case. However, even then, he'd been working for VEDA, not on his own. Losing it had been a hard blow, but the experience had taught him more than any information download could have. He could act on his own and make his own decisions. In a way, Ribbons had inadvertanly given him something of a gift.]

You don't always have to work just to please someone else.

	I don't have a choice now. [She raises her voice a little, but then sighs, letting go of him and turning her back. There's more she wants to say, but she would rather sit at a table.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He crossed an arm over himself, gripping the opposite elbow with his hand. He felt ridiculously exposed in this outfit. He sighed a bit as she turned away, turning to the side himself to look over the crowd.] There's something else...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2011-02-15 09:46 am UTC (link)
	[She sits down nearby. Her tone is calm, but with a hint of confusion. She doesn't understand, but she's willing to listen.] How can you expect me to willingly go against my purpose? Why would I ever do such a thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He moved closer to hear her, his own voice soft as he finally spoke.]

Part of our purpose is protecting others, not just fighting interventions. How can we expect humanity to accept our guidance if they distrust us? You cannot force someone to follow you. It must be of their own free will.

We can have free will. We can make our own decisions on how we reach our goal. There is no need for anyone, even Innovades, to follow instruction blindly simply out of devotion.

We must live our lives as we want others to. We cannot do that if we give up one of the main marks of humanity.

[And, for a moment, Tieria might have actually sounded sympathetic towards her.]

	[It's a lot to think about and it makes her anxious. The implications are frightening. She just wants Ribbons to come back and for things to go back to the way they were. That would be easier than braving the unknown.] But I don't know how to live any other way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2011-02-16 02:26 am UTC (link)
	Neither did I. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2011-02-16 04:35 am UTC (link)
	What am I supposed to do? [She feels lost, with regards to what Tieria is saying and just in general.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2011-02-16 05:36 am UTC (link)
	That is for you to decide. There is no one here you have to answer to anymore. No one you have to please but yourself. [It was something Regene had told him once...] You're free. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2011-02-17 08:21 am UTC (link)
	[It still doesn't seem like such a good thing to Hiling at the moment. Ribbons' approval had always brought her such happiness. What else could compare?] What if I make a bad decision? [It seemed likely, as little experience she had with making them on her own.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2011-02-17 08:24 am UTC (link)
	Then you learn from it and move on. Not everything is always going to work exactly as you want it to. You have to learn to adapt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2011-02-18 05:54 am UTC (link)
	[She looks confused and blinks at him. Never had she been told it was okay to make mistakes.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2011-02-21 05:41 am UTC (link)
	Hm? [He quirked an eyebrow a little.] Do you not understand something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2011-02-21 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	That's... not how it works. [She was surprised at how much she could get away with while Ribbons was here. Was that really how it was supposed to be?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

And you're so sure. [Tieria sighed, looking out over the room.] Things are not as cut and dry as Ribbons made them seem. Quantum Brainwaves or not, being with him or VEDA will show you that. [His expression, even if not pointed at her, however, showed that he understood it wasn't easy to adapt. After all, he was the one with prior experience on just that kind of situation.]

	Why do you even care? I thought you hated me. [At least that's the impression she got most every time they talked.] What do you want? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He did. But this wasn't a time for being mean.]

Because I know this isn't easy. Losing someone you care about, losing VEDA, it is not an easy adjustment to deal with.

[He sighed a little.] I don't want anything. It just seemed like... you wanted someone to talk to. [Maybe... just maybe, without Ribbons around, Hiling's attitude would change a little. This might be good for her.]

	limeskittle 2011-02-22 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	I thought it would be weird talking to you like this, but I guess it's not so bad after all. We do have a lot in common. [She stares down at the table with her hands in her lap and glances over at him] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2011-02-23 01:50 pm UTC (link)
	[Well, now they did. Before arriving in Marina, Tieria could have easily contradicted that statement with a million thing that might have been different. Of course, before arriving in Marina, he probably would have done just that if she had made such a comment.] I suppose we do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2011-02-23 07:22 pm UTC (link)
	[She wouldn't have even talked to him on good terms before Marina. What she's starting to realize is that there's no point in fighting here. That she needs to find herself a new purpose. But she still needs time to think about it.] Well, I should-- [She stands up] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2011-02-24 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	[Tieria straightened a little, nodding.] Ah... yes. [He assumed she meant she should leave.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
