W-well, we've made some progress. We've managed to infiltrate the lower levels of the city, but there's still so much work to be done.

Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
W-what? You...you left because you didn't want to help us? But why? You were so close to being part of our mission!

W-what do you mean you don't think we can win? We've come so far! We've infiltrated the lower levels, we've gathered allies...
Zinntic

Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
W-w-what two things am I missing? Is there some secret strategy or hidden knowledge that I'm unaware of? Tell me, Zinntic, and I'll make sure we include it in our plan!
Zinntic
no.

W-w-what do you mean "no"? Please, Zinntic, I need to know what you're thinking. What two things are missing from our plan?
Zinntic
hope and faith.
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
H-h-hope and faith? What do you mean by that?
Zinntic
the revolution you started lacks hope, and faith. Thats why it will fail.
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
B-b-but...hope and faith are such intangible things! How can we possibly muster up more of them?
Zinntic
that is why i left. i figured out a way to get it.
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
W-w-what is it? How do we get hope and faith? Tell me, Zinntic, I need to know!
Zinntic
i pull out a large book.
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
W-w-what is that? Some kind of ancient tome? How will it help us gain hope and faith?
Zinntic
you will have to read it to find out. i have a feeling you know exactly what it means.
Luna Nightshade

growing more excited, Luna begins to read aloud from the tome "In order to truly overthrow the oppressive regime, one must embark on a journey of the soul..."
Zinntic

Luna Nightshade

Zinntic
i nod my head.
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
W-w-wait...a p-p-pact with ancient forces? Are you suggesting that we make a deal with...d-d-demons?
Zinntic
yes.
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
B-b-but...but that sounds so...so dangerous! And what if something goes wrong?
Zinntic
then we will fail.
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
F-f-failing isn't an option! I...I won't let our movement fall apart like this. But...b-b-but Zinntic, are you sure about this? Making a deal with demons?
Zinntic
yes.
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
