"Hello."

"Okay. So, Dream, you said you had something you wanted to address?"

"Yeah. Well, I told you before, I want Tommy exiled."

There's another pause before Tubbo nods with visible reluctance. "...Yes. That is true."

This... Is going poorly already. He'd hoped Dream would be happy with probation, happy enough to open with it.

"I told you, you had three days to think about it and you can come back to me, we can have this meeting…?"

"Okay. Well. I don’t t-- Is th-- I’m just trying to think of any other alternative. I want to-- I want to do bargaining, if you will. Is there any other alternative we can do, which doesn’t involve that, perhaps? Or is that really the only one?"

"What's your proposition?"

"Okay. Here is my--"

"I mean, I’ve put-- I’ve put a lot of work into putting those walls up and maintaining them-- I don’t know if you noticed, but they’ve actually doubled in size since the last time we talked!"

"...I did. I did notice that. Okay, right--"

"I also have right now in my inventory eight stacks of obsidian more that I can add onto it."

"Hooooly crap, do you sleep? Right. Okay. Okay! So, right. I really want this to come to a peaceful resolution, where we don’t have to exile anyone. We want to-- we want the best for our country."

"Well, you are considering it-- You are considering it, right? You are considering exiling Tommy…?"

"...It's an option on the table. But it's the last resort."

He does not have a great idea of how hard it is to get obsidian, but he has gained an appreciation for exactly how much a stack is.

The fact that Dream is leaning so hard on exile-- there has to be a way to convince Dream to not but he can't think of it.

Dream whispers to TommyInnit: :)

The unfamiliar human in a beanie speaks up. "I think... I think what the president here is trying to say is that we're willing to compromise. Alright? Tommy has been on his good behavior and he’s done reports and he’s bettered a lot, um, and I think we really are willing to compromise. And we’re all willing to compromise, alright? We can-- we can..." He sighs. "We can maybe keep the walls, perhaps?"

"Yes, okay! Maybe not forever, but--"

"Not forever, not forever! But TommyInnit at the end of his probation, he will end up being a good man! So, I think, maybe let’s leave it at that?"

"So what's the proposition?"

"Okay, here’s what I’m thinking. So, TommyInnit remains on probation, which, I know would suck for you, Dream. I see how that could be bad for you. But what I suggest is--"

"For how long? How long is he on probation?"

"Uhhhhh... For at least two more weeks from now. Two if not three."
