[Out of habit, her greeting starts with a sigh. Hey, for a long time the only person who called her was Sylens, and it really set a tone for phone conversations. Be glad it's just a sigh.]

What do you need?

Re: Late Day 99

[othellovonryan]

Bootyyyshaker9000: And what would be your decision?

Re: Late Day 99

[despitethenora]

aloy: That's simpler. I don't have any decisions to make.
aloy: What happens is what happens.

Re: Late Day 99

[othellovonryan]

Bootyyyshaker9000: Then I guess the real question is what do you want, Aloy?

Re: Late Day 99

[despitethenora]

aloy: When we're all on our feet again, I want to take the team out to hunt a large beast.

Re: Late Day 99

[othellovonryan]

Bootyyyshaker9000: Tryse mentioned that. Just let me know.
Bootyyyshaker9000: What else?

Re: Late Day 99

[despitethenora]

aloy: That's my main goal right now.
aloy: I made some deals with Salamander. Plenty of meat, for one of them.

Re: Late Day 99

[othellovonryan]

Bootyyyshaker9000: What are those deals anyway?

Re: Late Day 99

[despitethenora]

aloy: Getting a spear from him for meat and advice on how to deal in "loot boxes."
aloy: His help protecting Claudine in scenario targeting, if I use the boon to check something for him.
aloy: Nothing remarkable.

Re: Late Day 99

[othellovonryan]

Bootyyyshaker9000: Loot boxes? I know what those are in video games, what are those here?
Bootyyyshaker9000: You could have asked me for a spear.

Re: Late Day 99

[despitethenora]

aloy: Random items of different values. You take a chance on what you get.
aloy: You have plenty of other projects to deal with.

Re: Late Day 99

[othellovonryan]

Bootyyyshaker9000: I know that. I mean how are loot boxes a thing here?
Bootyyyshaker9000: Hamato and team projects all take priority.

Re: Late Day 99

[despitethenora]

aloy: They aren't a thing here. Yet. He's working on it.
aloy: I understand.

Re: Late Day 99

[othellovonryan]

Bootyyyshaker9000: Ah.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Do you? That you can ask me for help?

Re: Late Day 99

[despitethenora]

aloy: I'll be asking for your help with the hunt.

Re: Late Day 99

[othellovonryan]

Bootyyyshaker9000: And in the future?

Re: Late Day 99

[despitethenora]

aloy: We'll see what comes up.

Re: Late Day 99

[othellovonryan]

[A delay.]

Bootyyyshaker9000: What do you want our relationship to be, Aloy?

Re: Late Day 99

[despitethenora]

(...)

(...)

aloy: Right now?
aloy: We can be allies.

Re: Late Day 99

[othellovonryan]

Bootyyyshaker9000: And in the future?

Re: Late Day 99

[despitethenora]

aloy: I honestly don't know.
aloy: Maybe we'll be friends.
aloy: Maybe we'll stay allies.
aloy: Back on Earth, there's a man I've frequently threatened to put my spear through. It wasn't so long ago, I started wondering the same thing about him.

Re: Late Day 99

[othellovonryan]

Bootyyyshaker9000: Its funny how that can happen.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Including the threats phase.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Allies or friends though, we do need to communicate.
Bootyyyshaker9000: And not just when we're in a high stress situation.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Which is honestly something I have struggled with in the past, making sure to communicate, and I intend to correct that behavior.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Since I may have waited longer than I should have in this scenario.

Re: Late Day 99

[despitethenora]

aloy: We've been talking. It's been fine.

Re: Late Day 99

[othellovonryan]

Bootyyyshaker9000: If you think you can't ask me for things, then it hasn't been fine.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I make things.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I make things for people I have personal investment in, its what I do.
Bootyyyshaker9000: If you thought you couldn't ask me to make things, especially something as simple as a spear, then communication has broken down hard.

Re: Late Day 99

[despitethenora]

aloy: I also didn't have to make a deal for spear.
aloy: I could have just asked Airi to pass one along.

Re: Late Day 99

[othellovonryan]

Bootyyyshaker9000: Why did you go for the deal?
