I'm sure this is fine.

WELCOME TO THE R4 LIVEWATCH: AIRLOCKED REACH EDITION

I had assumed they had simply changed the "gimmick" after the second season.

[the penguin ruined everything]

[cyan_maid]

No...well, probably, yeah, but...mm. I don't know. It's still such a weird outlier.

[daughterofthemark]

Perhaps it is a matter of the Overseer responsible.

[cyan_maid]

Which one - Giada Petuu?

[I mean that's. Not her name, but, no one who isn't Roxy should get to be called 'Rox'.]

[daughterofthemark]

Giada...?

[No, that's not important. She shakes her head.]

Yes, her, in comparison to Sir Bolton, Sir Kip, and Sir Blaze.

[cyan_maid]

That's the celebrity she looks like from my world - Giada De Laurentiis. I...am not calling her by her name.

[A pause.]

But I do agree with you on that front.

[daughterofthemark]

[Oh, of course, because to her "Rox" would be Roxy.]

Sir Bolton and Sir Blaze in particular would understand what can drive a good person to commit murder. Dame... Giada , I am certain, knows nothing of that.

[cyan_maid]

It honestly seems like she couldn't give a lark so long as she got her results.

[daughterofthemark]

But so far, she has not.

[cyan_maid]

...But she eventually does.

[Because we know how doom goes.]

[daughterofthemark]

...perhaps it will be Sir Blaze who succeeds. Sir Bolton and Sir Jamie took turns in your season.

[cyan_maid]

...I feel like that if anyone dies, she wins. And we know they will...so...ngh. [She shakes her head.] I just don't like her. I think I've said that about everyone who's hosted one of these things but she's incredibly unlikable.

[daughterofthemark]

And she continues to work with the network, even knowing the truth. I do not wish to judge her without knowing her circumstances, but...

[YOU'RE MAKING HER WANT TO DO A HATRED, ROCKS PATOOEY.]

[cyan_maid]

[GOOOOOOOD FEEL THE HATRED WITHIN YOU]

I'm sure we'll learn those circumstances at some point - we always seem to.

[daughterofthemark]

[NO?! SHE LIKES BEING A CINNAMON ROLL]

...I am not certain I wish to.

[cyan_maid]

I thought that, too. But in the end...I learned about Kip, and Blaze Dudely, and Jamie and Bolton. I'm sure we'll learn of her in due time.

[daughterofthemark]

It is simply that... our enemy seems to grow still more powerful with everything we learn.

[cyan_maid]

...

[Jane huffs slightly, narrowing her eyes.]

Well, there's an old saying. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall" - and none of us are going to rest until they topple right the heck down.

[daughterofthemark]

...right.

[This seems like an excellent opportunity to never, ever mention what happened in her last memory regain.]

But... still, I believe they are more than sufficiently large already.

[cyan_maid]

[ah shit]

No, I agree, they don't need to be any bigger to cause us more trouble.

[daughterofthemark]

[The bigger they are, the worse it is when they don't stay down.]

...do you believe it possible that she is Dame Nina?

[HEY WOULDN'T IT BE CONVENIENT IF THEY ACTUALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER NEW ANTAGONIST AFTER ALL]

[cyan_maid]

...It could be possible. Mister Ein said she was going by Nina when he knew her, but she might have changed that since. Still...unless we get his confirmation, we won't know.

[daughterofthemark]

I... simply would prefer to think that we had only a single enemy.

[cyan_maid]

To focus all the hurt that we've got on, right? [Jane considers it for a moment.] One enemy...would be really nice. I wish we'd only had one back home, but sometimes it seemed like we had at least a dozen.

[daughterofthemark]

We... rarely had any clear enemy. There were people who stood between us and our goals, but we usually faced only the dangers of the Labyrinth itself.
