[00:22] <>Ambiance<> A small shadowy doorway appears in the center of the Living Area

[00:22] * Selarep walks up to the doorway

[00:23] <Selarep> I wonder what this is....

[00:23] <>Ambiance<> Click Clang Clack

[00:23] <>Ambiance<> Clack Clang Clunk

[00:23] * Selarep knocks on the door

[00:23] * Grett blinks and stares at the doorway.

[00:25] <>Ambiance<> Clack Clang Clunk

[00:25] <Selarep> Do you think it would be safe to open it?

[00:25] <>Ambiance<> Thud thud thud

[00:25] * Ness wakes up

[00:25] <Grett> I have no idea.

[00:25] <Ness> Ahhh

[00:25] * Selarep pounds on the door

[00:25] <Ness> Welcome to the madhouse

[00:25] * Legault glances at it, "Huh?"

[00:25] * Ness laughs

[00:25] <Selarep> I'm going to try.

[00:25] <Ness> Try it

[00:25] * Selarep grabs the knob

[00:26] <Ness> What's the worst that can happen, right?

[00:26] * Ness laughs again

[00:26] * Selarep twists the knob and pulls back the door

[00:26] <Legault> A lot of stuff...

[00:26] <Ness> No kidding

[00:26] <>Ambiance<> The door swings open beyond "stands" a draconian figure apparently who was propped against the door he is well haired with leopard spotted markings

[00:26] <Ness> But so long as I'm not in the blast zone...

[00:26] <Selarep> Hello.

[00:27] <Selarep> Who are you?

[00:27] * Ness stands and saunters over to the door

[00:27] <Ness> Hm

[00:27] * Figure collapses through the door

[00:27] <Selarep> !

[00:27] <Selarep> Get him some water!

[00:27] * Legault stares at the figure, "Huh... He doesn't seem dangerous..."

[00:27] * Figure lands unconcious on the ground

[00:27] <Legault> Ness can do that.

[00:27] * Selarep kneels and checks the figure's pulse

[00:27] * Ness dashes the rest of the way, hoists the figure up and lays him on a couch

[00:28] <Ness> ((Assuming all that works, of course))

[00:28] <Grett> Another fainting visiter...

[00:28] * Damsel rouses from sleep at the odd commotion, peering about in a light haze of sleep and trying to figure out what is occuring.

[00:28] <Legault> We get that a lot, huh?

[00:28] * Figure does not appear to have been concious even when the door opened

[00:28] * Selarep is still checking his pulse

[00:28] <Grett> I wonder who it is this time.

[00:28] * Ness shrugs

[00:28] * LB|AFK stirs on the couch and wearily opens his eyes. "...huh..?"

[00:28] * Figure is breathing steadily if a bit labored as if he just excercised heavily

[00:28] <LB|AFK> ((That'd be LB. :P))

[00:28] <Selarep> Hmm...

[00:28] * Grett looks at the figure, looking for anything of notice.

[00:29] <Legault> ((No, it's LordBarrius | Away From Keyboard Mode. ;p))

[00:29] * Selarep glances at the figure's face

[00:29] * Ness shakes the figure to see if that will rouse him

[00:30] * Selarep shakes the figure as well.

[00:30] * Mobuis walks up to the entrance, with cuts, scraps, and bruises covering his body. He looks down at the figure, mumbling, "Nobody ever gets a break around here..."

[00:30] * Figure has a draconian jawline but its proprotions are near human excepting the muzzle. Several horn like protrusions come from his head. His head and his entire body is covered with the leopard patterned fur

[00:31] <Selarep> I've never seen a creature like this before.

[00:31] <Grett> A silari, perhaps? I thought they were extinct.

[00:31] <Legault> Hmm... So did I.

[00:31] * Damsel wipes at her eyes and stands, though she doesn't try and crowd around the form upon seeing how many people are already there.

[00:31] * Mobuis kneels down, "Well, clear out, let's move him somewhere comfortable."

[00:32] <Selarep> A silari?

[00:32] * Figure opens his eyes which are a deep yellow green with a small blue halo

[00:32] * Ness looks down at the figure "Hello, there"

[00:32] * Mobuis gently taps the ground next to the figure, "Can you here me, sir?"

[00:33] * Selarep waves his hand in front of the figure's face

[00:34] * Mobuis gives Selarep a cold glare, "Watch your manners."

[00:34] <Ness> Indeed.

[00:34] <Selarep> I'm seeing if he's okay.

[00:34] <Ness> Try not to anger unknown entities

[00:35] * Ness clears his throat and speaks up a bit "Sir, are you alright?"

[00:35] <Figure> Whence hath I wandere hither?

[00:35] <Selarep> Damn it! He speaks olde English...

[00:35] <Ness> The abode of Falerin on Caelestia

[00:36] <Mobuis> "Do not worry, you are well, sir?

[00:36] <Figure> I art Loraine

[00:36] <Legault> Lorian...

[00:36] <Ness> You are safe here, sir. If you're in danger to begin, that is.

[00:37] <Grett> Greeteth, or however you say it.

[00:37] <Figure> I am called Xilar by common nomen

[00:37] <Grett> I was wondering...

[00:37] * Legault blinks.

[00:37] * Selarep bares a grim expression

[00:37] * Damsel nods her head.

[00:37] <Grett> Cilar, doest thou knoweth The`Galin.

[00:37] * Figure groans slightly and passes back into unconciousness

[00:37] <Grett> ((?*))

[00:37] * Selarep backs away from the figure

[00:37] <Ness> Xilar....hm, for once I regret my limited knowledge of the histories

[00:37] <Selarep> This is bad...

[00:38] <Ness> I know Xilar was...important, but I don't know what for.

[00:38] <Grett> Not necessarily.

[00:38] <Damsel> "It may not be."

[00:38] * Mobuis slightly backs off to give him room.

[00:38] <LordBarrius> frowns slightly and sits up. "How did....he get here?"

[00:38] <Grett> It depends on when he's from.

[00:38] <Selarep> Should we kill him? Or chain him up and interrogate him?

[00:38] <Damsel> "There has been much time passed between what he once did and now."

[00:38] <Mobuis> "..."

[00:38] <Legault> None of those things.

[00:38] * Damsel frowns at Selarep. "Neither."

[00:38] <Selarep> I still say we should interrogate him.

[00:38] <Ness> Shut up, Selarep

[00:38] * Selarep looks at Damsel. "Why not?"

[00:38] <Mobuis> "Would you like to sit, sir?"

[00:39] <Ness> This place is a safe haven for ALL who wish it.

[00:39] <Legault> Hrm... Wasn't he mentioned in one of the'Galin's logs?

[00:39] * Mobuis motions at his couch.

[00:39] <Grett> Depending on the timeframe, I doubt he's dangerous.

[00:39] <Selarep> He was The'Galin's first agent...

[00:39] <LordBarrius> "Let him rest. He probably needs it."

[00:39] * Mobuis nods.

[00:40] * Damsel shakes her head. "People change. What was once written, what he once did, may no longer be indicitive of his current choices."

[00:40] <Ness> Indeed.

[00:40] <Selarep> Why would you trust him? Once an agent, you can't go back. Even if he has changed...

[00:40] <Ness> As I said, this is a safe haven for all.

[00:40] <Ness> Is that so, Selarep?

[00:40] * Diviara appears

[00:40] <Legault> He believed in The'Galin, does that truly mean he's an agent?

[00:40] * Damsel glances at Selarep. "I trust both Galrick and Diviara. It can be said that..."

[00:40] <Grett> Diviara! Greetings.

[00:40] <Diviara> Indeed?

[00:40] * Damsel trails off.

[00:40] <Diviara> Is that the case?

[00:40] * Ness looks over "Welcome, Diviara."

[00:41] * Mobuis remains silent.

[00:41] <Grett> Diviara, Xilar seems to be paying us a visit. Do you know anything about this?

[00:41] * Diviara froms looking at Xilar

[00:41] <Selarep> Well, I trust Galrick and Diviara as well, but not him...

[00:41] * LordBarrius scowls slightly at Selarep, though he refocuses his attention on Diviara and a faint smile reaches his face.

[00:41] <Diviara> Do you suppose that my rare visit so shortly after his arrival is accidental Odecyian?

[00:41] <Damsel> "I am glad to see you, Diviara."

[00:41] <Ness> They were agents.

[00:41] * Legault turns around to face Divaria, "Greetings."

[00:42] <Grett> Of course not.

[00:42] <Grett> And why does everyone know about me?!

[00:42] <Selarep> Hello, Diviara.

[00:42] <Selarep> Do you know of him?

[00:42] * Selarep points to the figure

[00:42] <Diviara> You are dealing with Powerful Telepaths

[00:42] <Grett> Ah...

[00:42] <Diviara> What do you suppose the answer might be?

[00:43] <Legault> I'd assume a yes.

[00:43] * Diviara turns toward Xilar

[00:43] <Diviara> His arrival is quite....

[00:43] <Diviara> Strange

[00:43] <Ness> What is the CAUSE of his arrival?

[00:43] <Selarep> I meant do you know if he's still evil.

[00:44] <Ness> "Evil"?

[00:44] <Damsel> "Evil... I am coming to dislike that term..."

[00:44] <Selarep> And I don't really care for a debate about the definition of evil.

[00:44] * Ness sighs

[00:44] <Diviara> Xilar the Silari?

[00:44] <Ness> He was never "evil"

[00:44] <Diviara> He was never evil

[00:44] <Diviara> As to the implied question

[00:44] <Mobuis> "Why not just shut up about useless topics."

[00:44] <Ness> People do enjoy throwing that word around.

[00:44] <Diviara> He still serves the lord of uncreation

[00:44] <Selarep> I'm not dictionary. I picture things in my own general definitions.

[00:45] <Selarep> (not a*)

[00:45] <Legault> He followed the'Galin because he believed in him, just like we believe in our cause, is that evil?

[00:45] <Grett> Does he still not understand his lord's heart?

[00:45] <Diviara> That sir is a fault. I recommend you fix it

[00:45] <Selarep> Just forget it...

[00:45] <Ness> He still serves The'Galin...

[00:45] <Ness> Hm.

[00:45] <Diviara> He more or less always did understand our Lord's Heart

[00:45] <Diviara> Xilar is the Second

[00:46] <Ness> That makes him dangerous. But I, personally, stand by what I said before. This is a safe haven for all who wish it.

[00:46] <Selarep> The second?!

[00:46] <Diviara> he is high arch communicant

[00:46] <Selarep> Who was the first?

[00:46] <Diviara> The'Galin

[00:46] <Diviara> Clearly

[00:46] <Selarep> The'Galin was his first agent?

[00:46] * Damsel smiles faintly

[00:46] <Ness> And what is the cause of his presence here?

[00:46] <Grett> How exactly does that work?

[00:46] <Diviara> You speak a strange idiom

[00:46] <Selarep> We're clearly on two different topics.

[00:47] <Diviara> I never said Xilar was the Second "agent"

[00:47] <Grett> Ah.

[00:47] <Diviara> I said he was the second

[00:47] <Selarep> The second what, then?

[00:47] <Ness> The Second.

[00:47] <Selarep> ...

[00:47] <Ness> Capital S

[00:47] <Selarep> ...

[00:47] <Diviara> Yes yes whatever linguistic convention you wish to employ

[00:47] - Elaith!DRichmond9@Caelestia-BD79BC2E.nap.wideopenwest.com has joined #darkabode

[00:48] * Selarep sees it's impossible to get the answers he wants and sighs

[00:48] <Ness> He isn't the second anything. In The'Galin's chain of command, he is THE Second.

[00:48] <Diviara> Xilar was and is The'Galin's second in command

[00:48] <Diviara> The first manifesta

[00:48] <Diviara> His presence on Caelestia is troubling

[00:48] <Selarep> You could have said that earlier...

[00:48] <Selarep> Ah. Now we agree on something.

[00:48] <Ness> Well, I thought it self-evident.

[00:49] <Grett> Does the Farpoint know about this, then?

[00:49] <Diviara> I am relaively sure I spoke common quite commonly

[00:49] <Ness> Again, what exactly, is the cause of his presence.

[00:49] <Selarep> I am aware of that.

[00:49] <Diviara> I sensed in on Lore

[00:49] <Legault> No, he was out cold when we found him...

[00:49] <Diviara> I am not a God

[00:49] <Diviara> What do you think?

[00:49] <Grett> Good point.

[00:49] * Damsel glances at the form of Xilar. "You are unaware of why he has come to this place then?"

[00:49] <Grett> I see what you mean.

[00:49] <Selarep> Is he strong?

[00:49] <Grett> Why haven't they acted then?

[00:49] <Ness> Oh, boy. The Farpoint knows.

[00:50] <Ness> We're going to get blamed for this, you know.

[00:50] <Diviara> The'Galin keeps his own counsel

[00:50] <Diviara> Particularly lately

[00:50] <Diviara> I should not imagine I have any idea whatsoever only that it does not fit with anything I have heard

[00:50] <Ness> Hm.

[00:50] <Damsel> "I understand."

[00:51] <Diviara> Save that his reawakening likely means that a new manifesta is being prepared for

[00:51] <Ness> I am increasingly liking the idea of binding and questioning him. But I must stick by my original response.

[00:51] <Legault> The few words he said were a tad odd...

[00:51] <Selarep> How is he still alive?

[00:51] <Diviara> The last time he awoke was during the partial bodning of Myr

[00:51] <Selarep> He was thought for dead, last time I heard.

[00:51] <Ness> And the planned vessel for Manifestation

[00:51] <Diviara> Xilar is the direct foot servant of a God

[00:52] <Diviara> How do you imagine he is alive

[00:52] <Grett> Was that really a Faceless Myr recieved, then?

[00:52] <Selarep> No idea.

[00:52] <Legault> If he knew where he was going, why would he ask if we knew The'Galin?

[00:52] <Diviara> If a person infected by a blood parasite can last millenia

[00:52] <Diviara> How long can a person infested with a God's energy persist

[00:52] <Selarep> Blood parasite? Is that what The'Galin uses on his agents?

[00:53] <Legault> No...

[00:53] <Legault> He uses a god's energy.

[00:53] <Ness> Is the planned vessel for Manifestation Tralin?

[00:53] <Grett> Diviara probably wasn't told that, Ness. No offense, Diviara.

[00:53] <Diviara> The identity of Omega is sealed to me... if in fact I ever knew

[00:54] * Ness nods

[00:54] <Grett> So Omega is the one he will manifest in?

[00:54] <Selarep> He can brainwash you?

[00:54] <Ness> So the Manifestation is at hand.

[00:54] <Ness> He is a God, Selarep.

[00:54] <Selarep> Or uncreate memories, maybe?

[00:54] <Grett> Someone said that Omega is the ninth Avatar among eight, and there was no Hope.

[00:54] <Diviara> Not neccesarily

[00:54] <Legault> Locking a memory isn't difficult for a god...

[00:54] <Diviara> Omega causes the manifestation

[00:54] <Damsel> "Even if that is so, it seems odd that Xilar would be brought to this of all places."

[00:55] <Diviara> How...

[00:55] <Diviara> Is unknown to me

[00:55] * Mobuis remains listening quietly.

[00:55] <Selarep> He may have come here to inform us of something, if his intentions are not malicious.

[00:55] <Diviara> What is more odd.... is that this Xilar is from the future

[00:55] <Ness> At any rate, which is our goal? To survive what happens after the Manifestation or to prevent it altogether.

[00:55] <Diviara> Not the now

[00:56] <Grett> From the future? weird.

[00:56] <Legault> Hmm...

[00:56] * Damsel frowns slightly in thought. "That is indeed odd."

[00:56] <Grett> But possibly a good thing.

[00:56] <Diviara> There is a distinct... temporal discontinuity

[00:56] <Ness> Oh, hell.

[00:56] <Legault> Heh, we're used to that sort of thing now.

[00:56] <Ness> We're REALLY gonna get it from the Farpoint.

[00:56] <Xilar> Save the baby

[00:56] * LordBarrius smirks slightly at the discussion regarding Xilar's longevity briefly, then reverts his eyes to Xilar's form. "This Xilar, then, may have been awake for longer....still, why come here?"

[00:56] <Grett> Do you think he would willingly share information with us?

[00:56] * Legault looks at Xilar, "Save who?"

[00:56] * Xilar vanishes in an explosive flash of light and a scream of agony

[00:57] <Selarep> Daniel?

[00:57] <Ness> Hm.

[00:57] * Grett stares in surprise at where Xilar was.

[00:57] * Damsel appears concerned. "Is he... Will he be all right?"

[00:57] <Ness> Well, it seems that was something he wasn't supposed to tell us.

[00:57] <Selarep> ...

[00:57] * Legault steps back in suprise.

[00:57] <Grett> Please tell me the Farpoint didn't destroy the poor guy...

[00:57] * LordBarrius blinks in surprise and steps back a bit from the flash.

[00:57] * Selarep waves his hand in the area where Xilar was

[00:57] <Diviara> No... that version will not be

[00:57] <Ness> Anyway, my question stands: Are we trying to survive the Manifestation or prevent it?

[00:58] * Mobuis averts his eyes, being next to the flash, "Gah..."

[00:58] * Damsel looks at Diviara. "What just happened?"

[00:58] <Diviara> His timeline exists on a branch of the tree that has ceased to be a posibility

[00:58] <Legault> I doubt we ourselves could stop it...

[00:58] <Diviara> He existed here in a discontinuity

[00:58] * Damsel appears startled.

[00:58] <Diviara> That discontinuity caught up with him

[00:58] <Selarep> This is the first time I've witnessed a form of uncreation...

[00:58] <Diviara> He was uncreated

[00:58] <Grett> Did he try to escape?

[00:59] <Diviara> I do not think so

[00:59] <Ness> Huh

[00:59] * Mobuis blinks repeaditly, "Wow..."

[00:59] * Damsel shakes her head, obviously saddened.

[00:59] <Diviara> Indeed I believe that what he just said to you ensured his uncreation

[00:59] <Ness> Well, that was certainly interesting.

[00:59] <Diviara> By saying it he uncreated himself

[00:59] <Damsel> "Yes, that was the impression I also received."

[00:59] <Legault> Save the baby... Huh.

[00:59] <Selarep> How so?

[00:59] <Diviara> I must return to the Temple

[00:59] <Ness> With full knowledge that it would do so?

[00:59] <Diviara> yes

[00:59] <Grett> Ok, I'm stumped.

[01:00] <Diviara> With full knowledge

[01:00] <Ness> Must be important.

[01:00] * Diviara vanishes
