[19:33] * Falerin appears with a bang and a scowl
[19:34] * Arc glances at Falerin, "Heya, Loremaster."
[19:34] * Fiona drops her book in surprise, looking around before noticing Falerin. "Ah... Good evening, Falerin. What's wrong?"
[19:34] * Strider walks down the stairs, having falen asleep earler.
[19:34] <Fal-away> Insufferable, pompous, prejudiced windbag
[19:34] <Fiona> "... Who?"
[19:34] <Falerin> To the nine hells with him
[19:34] * Arc raises a brow.
[19:34] <Falerin> I am done
[19:34] <Falerin> Done I tell you
[19:34] * Strider heres this. "Whoah, anger blast."
[19:35] <Arc> "Who're you talking about?"
[19:35] * Clyde looks puzzled at Fal, "With what particulary"
[19:35] * Cerbero appears in the abode along with Vaka. He is holding Elenor in arms
[19:35] - Damsel sets mode: +a Fal-away
[19:36] <Cerbero> Greetings, Falerin
[19:36] * Cerbero lets Elenor down
[19:36] <Vakametru> Hello Falerin
[19:36] * Vakametru walks to a couch, which is much comfier than the arena chairs.
[19:36] <Falerin> That insufferable ingrate Mori
[19:36] <Strider> "Mori?"
[19:36] <Arc> "Mori? Huh?"
[19:36] <Clyde> "Moridin, The HellSeeker..."
[19:36] <Falerin> to the nine hells with him and his ingracious preconceptions
[19:36] * Cerbero frowns
[19:36] <silversyte> Who?
[19:36] <Falerin> His stupid prejudices
[19:36] <Arc> "HellSeeker?"
[19:36] <Strider> "What did he do?"
[19:36] <Falerin> I valued his tendency to cause though
[19:36] <Falerin> t
[19:37] <Falerin> I welcomed it
[19:37] <Falerin> for many lost it
[19:37] <Cerbero> That pompous bastard
[19:37] <Falerin> but he is lying to himself
[19:37] <Falerin> and so full of his own self worth
[19:37] <Arc> "So what're you going to do?"
[19:37] * Clyde chuckles a bit, "Anything to find what you're looking I guess?"
[19:37] <Strider> "Sounds like he is Aragant.
[19:37] <Falerin> That I could sooner convince Narcissis to look away from a mirror
[19:37] <Arc> ( arrogant* )
[19:37] <Falerin> Then speak logic to that man
[19:37] * Arc chuckles, "That bad?"
[19:38] <Cerbero> If such mirror, even being metaphoric, reflected its personality... he would probably snap out of such narcisism
[19:38] <Elenor> Heh, now that would be something to see.
[19:38] * Vakametru sighs, and then laughs quietly to himself
[19:38] <Clyde> "Falerin that is litterally teaching an old dog, new tricks."
[19:39] <Fiona> "Huh, I remember Mori used to stop by here..."
[19:39] <Falerin> Bag
[19:39] <Falerin> Bah
[19:39] <Falerin> An old dog...
[19:39] <Falerin> You give him much underserved credit
[19:39] <Strider> "So what did he do Fal?"
[19:39] <Cerbero> an old dog with a rusted brain, if i may add.
[19:40] <Falerin> I am trying to sway a zealot
[19:40] <Falerin> And I am done
[19:40] <Clyde> "Well Falerin, you know what I mean."
[19:40] <Cerbero> Oriented to nothing but to willingless serving The'Galin.
[19:40] <Elenor> Aye, zealots always seem to take leave of reason and logic.
[19:40] <Cerbero> ((typo...<.<))
[19:40] * Falerin gestures and a scroll appears
[19:40] - Dale has changed nick to Dale|Sleep
[19:41] * Falerin drops the scroll to the table
[19:41] <Falerin> http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=11679767&mpage=1&key=&#11696153
[19:41] * Clyde picks up the scroll and reads it slowly.
[19:41] <Cerbero> Put it in the table so we all can read.
[19:42] * Clyde upholds a face of complete awe. "Wow, he's gone off the handle."
[19:42] <Strider> "Wow!"
[19:43] <Clyde> "Falerin you kinda went off on him though."
[19:43] * Fiona blinks. "He... Talks a lot."
[19:43] <Vakametru> You were right to react in such a way Falerin, I think.
[19:43] <Elenor> ... Idiot.
[19:43] * Cerbero reads
[19:43] <Cerbero> What a pompous, materialist idiot.
[19:43] <Strider> "Insults won't get us anywhere."
[19:44] <Clyde> "More like Idealistic."
[19:44] <silversyte> Stubborn.
[19:44] <Strider> "I agree with Clyde. And Fal you did kinda explode on him..."
[19:44] <Cerbero> Stubborn? I'd call him utterly stupid
[19:45] <Falerin> He has not seen one millionth of my ire sir
[19:45] <Falerin> I am done with hm
[19:45] - dalefanwill!dale@Caelestia-AC17F0A7.dsl.wlfrct.sbcglobal.net has joined #darkabode
[19:45] <silversyte> I think fal acted appropriatly.
[19:45] <Falerin> He can rot for all I care
[19:45] <Vakametru> A new student cannot defy its teacher. Falerin, im sure you have seen much, how can he contradict you with his narrowness? It is folly.
[19:45] * Fiona nods her head. "You tried, Falerin."
[19:45] <Elenor> Eh, I'd say Fal's reaction was justified.
[19:45] * Clyde shrugs, "Well Falerin giving up so easily doesn't mean much either."
[19:46] * Falerin looks through Clyde
[19:46] <Strider> "What happened to the love in this world?"
[19:46] <Fiona> "War killed it."
[19:46] <Strider> "So it seems..."
[19:46] <Falerin> You aparently have me mistaken for someone who gives a damn
[19:46] <Vakametru> I think Falerin bothering in the first place was more than enough. If he fails to see what we try and say, why should we try?
[19:46] <Cerbero> It is being slowly corrupted by those who manipulate oppinions and theories of other persons by showing evidence in a different way than they should.
[19:47] <Falerin> Easily...
[19:47] - Dale|Sleep has disconnected (Ping timeout)
[19:47] <Falerin> I have gone on with that one long enough
[19:47] <Falerin> The time for talk is past
[19:47] <Strider> "Lord of Evil indeed."
[19:47] * Clyde chuckles, "Stop acting so vigorous, you know you hold him dear to you."
[19:48] * Falerin scowls severely
[19:48] <Vakametru> God of Evil, not Lord.
[19:48] * Vakametru chuckles
[19:48] <Falerin> You suppose to tell me in my home what I hold dear.
[19:48] <Falerin> You suppose you know my motivations better than I know them myself...
[19:48] * Clyde stands up, "Maybe I do?"
[19:48] <Strider> "Falerin maybe some Tai-Chi would help. You seem to be kind of riled up."
[19:48] <Falerin> You are mistaken.
[19:48] * Fiona blinks, taking a few steps away from the scene.
[19:48] <Eitak_Razal> Guys, just leave it.
[19:49] * Elenor groans upon hearing Clyde's response. Fal ovbiously wasn't in a joking mood.
[19:49] <Eitak_Razal> You don't want to get on Fal's bad side.
[19:49] * Vakametru takes heed from Fionas actions, and walks away to sit on a couch
[19:49] <Eitak_Razal> Last time I did that, I ended up half way though a wall.
[19:49] * Clyde turns his head to the side and humphs, "Well Fal, lately I'm starting to believe you don't even know yourself anymore."
[19:50] * Cerbero raises an eyebrow "Falerin, he is not worth your ire"
[19:50] <Eitak_Razal> Clyde.
[19:50] <Falerin> "You sir do not know me in the slightest. You are as guilty of he when it comes to romantic notions"
[19:51] * Falerin looks at Cerbero
[19:51] <Falerin> "On that matter sir"
[19:51] <Strider> "Fal you should calm down mybe just a little."
[19:51] <Strider> *maybe
[19:51] <Falerin> "I could not agree more heartily. He is not only not worth my ire. He is not even worth my concern or attention"
[19:51] * Fiona takes her previous action a bit farther, returning to her seat and sitting quietly as not to anger Falerin more.
[19:51] * Elenor nods at Cerbero's comment, and Falerin's response.
[19:51] <Strider> "Then Fal why are you still mad about it?"
[19:51] - Insanity_Incarnated has disconnected (Distracted: )
[19:52] * Falerin smiles coldly
[19:52] * silversyte ponders how someone could be halfway through a wall
[19:52] <Falerin> "Why indeed..."
[19:52] <Fiona> ((Impact. ;o))
[19:52] * Falerin chuckles a mirthless dark laugh
[19:52] * Falerin vanishes
[19:52] * Strider backs up.
[19:52] <Strider> "Oh god..."
[19:52] <silversyte> I like it when he does that.
[19:52] <Arc> "He's going to kill him, isn't he?"
[19:53] * Fiona blinks and a shiver runs down her spine.
[19:53] <Strider> "Maybe I should not have said that."
[19:53] * Vakametru looks at Clyde, trying not to show it. Then he looks away once more
[19:53] * Elenor sighs. "I wouldn't presume to know what Falerin is going to do."
[19:53] * Clyde scowls unghastedly, "Falerin have you lost what's left of your mind? I believe someone said The Hellseekers and the Truthseekers are the same!"
[19:53] <Strider> "Elenor and Cerbero my good friends you will protect me right.
[19:53] * Strider is nervous
[19:54] <Elenor> ... Protect you from what?
[19:54] <Clyde> "We don't treat Truthseekers like they're thing we can throw away!"
[19:54] <Cerbero> ...
[19:54] <Clyde> things*
[19:54] <Strider> "Indeed we don't Clyde."
[19:54] <Fiona> "... Clyde. Get off your high horse, Falerin has the right to do whatever he wants after all he's done for us."
[19:54] <Abode> Throwing Away implies the volition is Falerin's own though.
[19:54] <Elenor> ... Pretty much.
[19:54] <silversyte> Yah what fiona said.
[19:55] * Strider shudders at the Abode as it talks. He has yet to get used to ti.
[19:55] * Clyde looks at Fiona displeased, "Well Fiona, if he wanted to ditch one of us and let us go, would you let him?"
[19:55] <Strider> *it
[19:55] <Cerbero> Clyde, he wouldnt.
[19:55] <Abode> Falerin has never been a man of great patience. That he has gone as long as he has entertaining and even welcoming a being whose nature is so antathetical to his own experience in his home shows how much he did care
[19:56] <silversyte> In your face clyde.
[19:56] <Abode> But I assure you this his status as hellseeker is irrelevant.
[19:56] <Abode> Falerin would wash his hands on any that far lost in self deception
[19:56] * Vakametru turns round a shivers. He had never heard the abode speak until now.
[19:56] <Abode> Foolishness is the one thing he will not abide
[19:56] <Cerbero> Ah, dont worry... patience is a quality that i lack as well.
[19:57] <Eitak_Razal> That's just the house.
[19:57] <Eitak_Razal> I forgot to mention it was alive
[19:57] * Eitak_Razal smiles
[19:57] <Strider> "So it seems."
[19:57] * Elenor looks at Cerbero. "Then why the hell are you still with me? I practically exist to try people's patience."
[19:57] * Fiona sighs. "Yes, I would Clyde."
[19:57] * Strider wonders if he should ask the Abode if it likes to party.
[19:57] - Ferret|MrWoffordCompetition has changed nick to Ferret
[19:58] <Eitak_Razal> And while We're on the topic. Although I don't always agree with Fal, I know better than to tell him that.
[19:58] <silversyte> Actually i try peoples patience quite alot.
[19:58] <Vakametru> I wouldnt disagree with a god, is my stance on the matter
[19:58] - Arc has changed nick to SleepingSeraph
[19:58] <Strider> "Even gods can be wrong."
[19:58] * SleepingSeraph falls asleep on the couch.
[19:58] <Elenor> Eh, I'd disagree with any other god...
[19:59] <silversyte> Why dont you tell him that then strider?
[19:59] <Vakametru> Wrong or right, they were put there for a reason... but, maybe your right. I just wouldnt want to be on the end of Falerins fury.
[19:59] <Strider> "I would if he was still here Silver."
[19:59] <Elenor> But divine power doesn't change the fact that he's a person too.
[20:00] <Elenor> ... And I respect the person Falerin, not the God of Evil.
[20:00] <Abode> he has no respect for those who fear him you know
[20:00] <Cerbero> Elenor, i'm still with you because i have patience thanks to you. And because I love you.
[20:00] <Abode> Falerin's respect is likely quite a bit higher for strider and clyde on this matter then for Eitak
[20:00] <Cerbero> I'm learning to live again, thanks to you.
[20:00] <Abode> And he most assuredly is aware of hidden sentiment.
[20:00] <silversyte> I dont fear him but i respect him
[20:01] * Vakametru turns, looking for the source. "Then Falerin has a strange way of showing respect"
[20:01] <Eitak_Razal> I don't fear him.
[20:01] <Abode> On the other hand there does eventually come a point from which return is not possible
[20:01] <Elenor> Eh, I think I've shown that I don't fear him enough. Remember when he came back here after Lkeas.. well, you know.
[20:01] <Strider> "You people say you don't fear him yet all of you seem to back away when he says something."
[20:01] <Abode> may be beyond that point
[20:01] <silversyte> I didnt back away.
[20:01] <Vakametru> I have not said I dont fear him Strider.
[20:02] <Eitak_Razal> Dude, I walked up and slapped him. If thats not showing I don't fear him, I don't know what is.
[20:02] <Fiona> "Falerin is a god, even a brave person should know when to back down."
[20:02] <Cerbero> Nor have I.
[20:02] <Elenor> ... It would be only natural for most people to fear someone who can wipe them from existence at a moment's notices.
[20:02] <Vakametru> Indeed Fiona.
[20:02] <Strider> "Fiona god or not he is a person."
[20:02] <Abode> Falerin is rarely wrong
[20:02] <Cerbero> I do not fear Moridin.
[20:02] <Strider> "I dont care if he was THE God he can still be wrong."
[20:02] <Abode> He may be here... but he does have a point
[20:03] <silversyte> I just so happened to agree with Fal on this matter.
[20:03] <Cerbero> You begin to sound just like Moridin.
[20:03] <Abode> When did it become his job to convince Moridin of anything
[20:03] <Elenor> Fal tries his hardest... he does make mistakes though.
[20:03] <Strider> "Thank you Abode."
[20:03] <Vakametru> A person with the abiltiy to wipe you from existence. Like the abode said, Falerin is rarely wrong. I wouldnt want to take my chances arguing and being wrong.
[20:03] <Elenor> As I said before, divinity doesn't mean that you stop being a person.
[20:03] <Clyde> "Fiona, God's have empathy too. Just because one is a god doesn't mean he is different from you or I."
[20:03] <Abode> Falerin has no responsibility to ANY of you
[20:03] <Clyde> Gods*
[20:03] <Abode> He acts of his own desire... and if that desire is abated...
[20:03] * Strider is wondering whose side the Abode is on.
[20:03] <Fiona> "Regardless of whether he's a person or not, he's still beyond that."
[20:03] - Rimblade!Rimblade@Operator.Caelestia.net has joined #darkabode
[20:03] <Fiona> ((Beyond us*))
[20:04] <Elenor> In power, yes.
[20:04] <Abode> Little you can say or do will restore that desire
[20:04] <Vakametru> Exactly.
[20:04] <Strider> "Not in humanity Fiona."
[20:04] <Clyde> "Fiona, you're silly believes will get you uncreated."
[20:04] <Abode> Save proving him wrong by example
[20:04] <silversyte> He is beyond us in knowledge and understanding.
[20:04] - SleepingSeraph has disconnected (Iced: Keep hope within.)
[20:04] <Strider> "Silver emotions can blunt that at times, as you should know."
[20:04] <Abode> A task for which I wish you the fondest luck
[20:05] <silversyte> As i should what do you mean?
[20:05] <Strider> "Thank you Abode."
[20:05] * Rimblade walks in, whistling.
[20:05] <Abode> Fell free to walk down the road with Moridin as you wish. His welcome is not rescinded.
[20:05] <Fiona> "And yours, Clyde could easily get you killed."
[20:05] <Clyde> "Falerin may know more than us, but YOU certainly cannot believe he will always be there! Fiona this shows how much self respect you have for own ablities."
[20:05] <silversyte> Stride what did you mean by what you said to me?
[20:05] <Strider> "Silver even the slightest emotion can sharpen or blunt your knowledge. That is common since.
[20:05] <Elenor> Clyde spoke what he believed.. That's something.
[20:05] <Strider> "
[20:05] <Abode> That alone speaks to the fact that Falerin is in fact not angered at him but frustrated and despairing.
[20:05] <Cerbero> Elenor, Vaka, do you wish to return to Vir'Trae?
[20:05] - Macer has changed nick to Malcolm
[20:06] <Rimblade> "Dispairing, eh?"
[20:06] <Elenor> Not yet.
[20:06] <Abode> Had the man actually angered him. Then his welcome would be nonexistant
[20:06] - Cerbero has disconnected (Suppressed: )
[20:06] <Fiona> "Clyde, this is Falerin's estate, he is always here."
[20:06] <silversyte> I have to go meet a someone see you all later.
[20:06] <Strider> "Which means he sees how badly you disrespect your own skills."
[20:07] * Clyde moves his head from side to side in disappointment, "Keep telling yourself that."
[20:07] * silversyte disappears in a flash of black light
[20:07] <Strider> "And Fiona even if he does have the power to uncreate doesn't mean he will use that power."
[20:07] - silversyte has left #darkabode
[20:07] <Elenor> It means he can use that power.
[20:07] <Vakametru> I would rather i followed his word and he didnt than be like Moridin.
[20:08] <Falerin> in so far as Arden and myself are both his avatar... he is indeed always here
[20:08] * Fiona nods.
[20:08] <Strider> "Vaka is it your job to disdain someone for there Beliefs?"
[20:08] <Clyde> "Fiona if you want too then by all means put on your blind fold and walk in any direction, but as for us who want to do our job and bring unity to this world will do what is best."
[20:08] <Rimblade> "That's nearly ominous!"
[20:08] <Eitak_Razal> I forgot you were also his Avatar Abode....
[20:09] <Clyde> blind fold on*
[20:09] <Eitak_Razal> Clyde!
[20:09] <Eitak_Razal> That was uncalled for.
[20:09] <Strider> "Clyde is right Eitak."
[20:09] <Vakametru> No, i dont preach to others to follow my example. I am simply defending my opinion Strider.
[20:09] <Abode> He is wrong
[20:09] <Strider> "Oh really Abode?"
[20:09] <Abode> Down that path is not unity in the slightest
[20:09] <Eitak_Razal> If everyone wore blindfolds we would be united...
[20:09] * Eitak_Razal giggles
[20:10] * Strider scrowls at Eitak.
[20:10] <Elenor> And also a bloody bunch of fools.
[20:10] * Vakametru smiles at that thought
[20:10] <Abode> He is impugning the nature of those who have given everything to that cause... even those who have done so when there was no call to do so

[20:10] <Eitak_Razal> Morning?
[20:10] - EOn has changed nick to Eon
[20:10] <Eon> "Oh it appears I oversleept"
[20:11] <Eon> "How unfortunate."
[20:11] * Fiona frowns. "Clyde, you've completely missed my point. I respect Falerin, thus I see no reason to disparge his decisions."
[20:11] * Eitak_Razal looks at her watch. "Yeah... It's 10PM... I think you kinda missed your wake-up call."
[20:11] * Eon props open his spiral notebook full of notes from what he read so far int he encyclopedia.
[20:11] <Eon> "Wow I have read so much."
[20:11] <Vakametru> That is exactly what i feel Fiona. I trust him more than my own decision, becasue he is a god. He obviously knows more than me. If he didnt, shouldnt i be the god?
[20:11] <Strider> "All I say is this. Respect or fear, Fal has his humanity as us and his emotions. A emotion can dull even the sharpest blade of thought. Keep that in mind."
[20:12] <Strider> "Even if he is god."
[20:12] <Fiona> "And an emotion can sharpen even the dullest blade, I'd suggest you keep that in mind too."
[20:12] <Elenor> His divine status puts more pressure on him than we could even begin to understand.
[20:12] <Elenor> ((ever begin to understand))
[20:12] * Eon lights his long ornate pipe and puffs on it as he studies his notes.
[20:12] <Eon> "Oh yes very interesting."
[20:13] <Strider> "Indeed Fiona. Indeed."
[20:13] <Elenor> It can't be anywhere near easy doing what Fal does.
[20:13] <Strider> "Heres a idea, we change subject!:
[20:13] <Strider> *"
[20:13] * Vakametru sighs. "Cerbero, I would very much like to return to Vir'Trae now. May we please go?"
[20:13] * Durroth yawns as he reads his book
[20:14] * Eon eyes Durroth. "You got a problem!?"
[20:14] * Clyde sighs, "Fiona, I see your point and by all it's meaning it is unclear. Suppose Falerin gets mad at you one day and feels like it is your turn to be killed, let alone uncreated. How'd you feel then?"
[20:14] * Eon cackles with laughter! "Just kidding young chap!"
[20:14] * Vakametru looks around and realises Cerbero isnt here. "Oh, that was quite foolish..."
[20:15] <Strider> "Damn it Clyde! CHANGE SUBJECT!"
[20:15] <Fiona> "Then that... That's my fate."
[20:15] * Eon puffs eagerly on his pipe. "Oh yes, very interesting are my notes..oh yes..."
[20:15] <Clyde> "Fiona if you are to scared to raise your voice, then you don't deserve it."
[20:15] <Durroth> ... I'm nine thousand four hundred and ninety four years old kid, dont call me young chap
[20:15] <Strider> "Meh, Fiona you die to easily. I'm supprised you defied The'Galin with that attidtue."
[20:15] <Strider> *attidtude
[20:15] <Strider> *attitude
[20:15] <Durroth> ((ninety three*))
[20:15] <Elenor> After all, The`Galin is a god as well.
[20:16] <Eon> "Wow old man, calm down , go get your free coffee at mickey d's!"
[20:16] <Clyde> "If you don't think you can stand up and fight for what you believe in...then you don't deserve anything at ALL!"
[20:16] <Strider> And The'Galin WILL Uncreate you. Fal MIGHT."
[20:16] * Eon grins "Just joshing ya there buddy!"
[20:16] <Vakametru> Strider, to accept your death isnt easy. Its an honourable thing to do, and Fiona thinks it is right.
[20:16] * Eon continues puffing on the pipe.
[20:16] * Clyde sits down, "I rest my case."
[20:16] <Fiona> "If The`Galin is indeed testing us, then defying him is following his will."
[20:16] <Elenor> You shouldn't just give up your life like that.
[20:17] <Strider> "And following his will might save us."
[20:17] <Elenor> I couldn't care less if it's his will or not.
[20:17] <Fiona> "I am a cleric, as such, I place my life in the hands of the god's, whoever or whatever they may be."
[20:17] <Strider> "You see doing what someone wants is a complex buisness. If I want to live and Following his will by defying him works. I will do it."
[20:17] <Strider> "Fiona that is sad."
[20:17] * Elenor shakes her head at Fiona.
[20:18] <Strider> "If that god is evil like Fal then you put yourself in bad hands."
[20:18] <Strider> "Next thing you know your on the pole being uncreated."
[20:18] <Stromy> "Falerin may be evil, but that doesn't make him bad."
[20:18] <Elenor> I know it's been said a lot around here, but I feel like I should repeat this saying for you two: "What is evil?"
[20:18] <Vakametru> Strider! To call a belief 'sad' is not a valid point, its offensive. Your view doesnt matter with her belief, so its not right for you to say its sad that she follows that belief.
[20:19] <Strider> "I'm not trying to impede on her beliefs.
[20:19] <Strider> I just do not agree and that is it."
[20:19] <Elenor> Beliefs aren't always right. In fact, I've found them quite often wrong.
[20:19] <Fiona> "Evil isn't always bad, Strider."
[20:19] <Vakametru> But Fiona may not have found hers to be wrong. To call it such a thing is impeding on it.
[20:20] <Eon> "You can always just plead the fifth"
[20:20] <Eon> "Or drink the fifth."
[20:20] * Eon chuckles.
[20:20] <Elenor> If I haven't found something, does that mean it doesn't exist?
[20:20] * Clyde looks up to Fiona displeased, "Well now, I guess you have no response then Fiona? How disappointing."
[20:20] <Vakametru> Not at all
[20:21] <Elenor> Then your arugment is meaningless.
[20:21] <Fiona> "You've said nothing after 'I rest my case', Clyde."
[20:21] <Elenor> Just because you haven't found your belief to be wrong, doesn't mean it isn't wrong.
[20:21] <Eon> "You cant handle the truth!"
[20:21] <Vakametru> Yet that doesnt mean it is wrong either
[20:21] * Eon slams his fist on the table.
[20:21] <Strider> "Fiona please. Though I don't really believe in Evil and Good as there just points of view, the typical evil is bad.
[20:21] <Eon> "DAMNIT!"
[20:22] <Elenor> Strider, what is bad?
[20:22] <Strider> It depends on who you are.
[20:22] <Strider> Your point of view
[20:22] <Elenor> Ah ha.
[20:22] <Elenor> So Evil is relitave?
[20:22] <Strider> However if I had to say
[20:22] * Falerin appears besides Strider
[20:22] <Strider> I would say killing a person who has done nothing wrong.
[20:22] * Strider is shocked by Fal.
[20:22] <Elenor> Who's to say if they've done something wrong?
[20:23] <Strider> Whos to say they have not?
[20:23] <Elenor> So you don't know.
[20:23] <Falerin> (softly) "If you do not value my aid and mistrust my motives feel free to absent yourself from my domicile and world as well sir"
[20:23] <Strider> ANd neither do you
[20:23] <Vakametru> WE can only believe.
[20:23] * Strider looks at Fal.
[20:23] <Elenor> That's my point, Strider. Is that we don't know. We can't claim to know what abstract concepts like Evil and Good mean.
[20:24] <Falerin> (softly) "I am sure you will find better elsewhere"
[20:24] <Strider> "Fal I value you aid and trust your motives. However sometimes these motives can be a little off."
[20:24] <Falerin> (softly) "And sometimes annoyance is absolutely called for..."
[20:24] <Strider> "Sometimes annoyance is helpful..."
[20:24] <Falerin> (softly) "We have not infinite time to make our decsisions"
[20:25] <Falerin> (softly) "We have not infinite time to think it out"
[20:25] <Strider> "Indeed you are right."
[20:25] <Eon> "Absolutely!"
[20:25] <Falerin> (softly) "We are beyond on borrowed time already...."
[20:25] <Strider> "And borrowed time can change..."
[20:25] <Falerin> (softly) "No sir"
[20:26] <Strider> "Why not?"
[20:26] <Falerin> (softly) "This clock cannot be rewound"
[20:26] <Falerin> Are you at all familiar with neurology
[20:26] <Stromy> "Yes"
[20:26] <Strider> "No."
[20:26] <Elenor> I'm not even quite sure what neurology is.
[20:26] <Falerin> How nerve impulses travel from nerve cell to nerve cell
[20:26] <Stromy> Yes
[20:26] <Strider> "I have heard of it."
[20:26] * Clyde nods.
[20:26] <Rimblade> "Ewep."
[20:26] <Elenor> ... Cell?
[20:26] <Falerin> There are chemicals... neurotransmitters in the cells...
[20:27] <Strider> "So I have read."
[20:27] <Falerin> They travel via electical mecahnisms to the end of the cell and spill out into the synapse
[20:27] <Eon> "Never heard of that."
[20:27] * Fiona sighs. "Here's a saying someone told me a long time ago... 'Evil is Live spelled backwards.' "
[20:27] <Stromy> "Yea, that's why we feel pain"
[20:27] <Falerin> The amount that spills out depends on the strength of the impulse to that point
[20:27] <Strider> "Indeed."
[20:27] <Falerin> The chemcicals bind to the next cell in line
[20:27] <Falerin> starting the cycle again
[20:27] <Strider> "And?"
[20:27] <Falerin> But firing is not instantaneous
[20:28] <Falerin> All cells have a fixed action potential
[20:28] <Falerin> A threshold
[20:28] <Stromy> "Somehow its being blocked? Is that what you mean?"
[20:28] <Falerin> Which much be reached before a nerve cell fires
[20:28] <Falerin> The thing is...
[20:28] <Eon> "This is some real talk."
[20:28] * Elenor wonders what Falerin is getting at, because she has less than no clue what he's talking about.
[20:28] * Eon puffs on the pipe
[20:28] <Falerin> that nerve cells firing is an all or nothing process
[20:28] <Strider> "So it takes a while to build up something?"
[20:28] <Falerin> Once that action potential is reached
[20:28] * Stromy mutters about people on drugs
[20:28] <Falerin> You cannot stop a never from firing
[20:28] <Falerin> It WILL fire
[20:29] * Strider backs up a little."
[20:29] <Stromy> "So we are on the threshold of some great event?"
[20:29] <Vakametru> That we cannot stop
[20:29] <Rimblade> "Er."
[20:29] <Falerin> The action potential of Lore was reached with the arrival of omega
[20:29] <Eon> "Or it wont, is what your sayin? Its either gonna do it all or do nothin. No half assed nerve firings.
[20:29] * Fiona lets out a heavy sigh before leaning back quietly against her chair.
[20:29] <Falerin> What comes cannot be stopped
[20:29] <Elenor> We cannot stop life from moving forward.
[20:29] <Strider> "Or maybe Fal is pissed?"
[20:29] <Rimblade> "Thought we'd been around there fore some time, really."
[20:29] <Stromy> "This bodes ill."
[20:30] <Eon> "Actually this bodes dark."
[20:30] <Falerin> The nerve fires even now as we sit in discussion
[20:30] <Falerin> And it fires the other nerves
[20:30] <Strider> "And what happens?"
[20:30] <Falerin> Time cannot be bought
[20:30] <Falerin> Time is up
[20:30] <Strider> "Then stop the clock."
[20:30] <Falerin> We have already gone beyond our action potential
[20:30] <Stromy> "We cannot be everywhere at once, nor can we be omniscient, we can only act when we are notified of events."
[20:30] <Falerin> it is too late now to use chemicals to dull the nerves
[20:30] <Falerin> they fire
[20:30] <Falerin> whether we wish it or not
[20:30] <Vakametru> WE cant stop the nerves from firing Strider, or change it so they dont, theyre going to carry on through each synapse
[20:31] <Falerin> and we must deal with the consequences
[20:31] <Strider> "And what will happen when they fire?"
[20:31] <Falerin> If our manner of dealing with those conseeunces is to ignore this situation
[20:31] <Stromy> "Couldn't we elimiate the threat?"
[20:31] <Falerin> and sit for some years in debate
[20:31] <Eon> "This reminds me of this old saying."
[20:31] <Falerin> We shall die in that debate
[20:31] <Elenor> I'm not even going to pretend to understand the techincal descriptions, but I think I get what you're saying.
[20:31] <Falerin> and no ammount of wishing shall undo it
[20:31] <Eon> "But I dont know what it was. But it was important."
[20:31] <Rimblade> "That doesn't seem promising!"
[20:31] <Falerin> It is not promising
[20:31] <Stromy> "If we knew how we could help, we would"
[20:31] <Strider> "Indeed Rim."
[20:31] <Elenor> It isn't promising.. It simply is.
[20:32] <Falerin> It is what it is
[20:32] <Stromy> "But we are sorely lacking one important category."
[20:32] <Strider> "Its the truth of the matter. Reality."
[20:32] <Rimblade> "I'm quite along side the whole 'death' thing, but I'd really rather wait a bit longer, all things considered."
[20:32] <Strider> "So Fal what is the point of all of this?"
[20:32] <Falerin> It is especially not promising for those who at the 11th hour still procrastinate
[20:32] <Falerin> who still deny
[20:32] <Falerin> who still argue
[20:32] <Eon> "True that!"
[20:32] <Stromy> "The coldest place in hell..."
[20:32] <Falerin> That I am done...
[20:33] <Falerin> I am done aiding those who do not want my aid
[20:33] <Stromy> "Is reseverd for those who remain passive in times of struggle...or something like that"
[20:33] <Falerin> I am done even caring for them
[20:33] * Clyde nods, "Well evening Falerin."
[20:33] <Stromy> "We need your help"
[20:33] <Falerin> I have heard them clearly
[20:33] <Strider> "What if there crying out for help? They were just trying to test there nerve on a god?"
[20:33] <Falerin> Even in my own home
[20:33] <Stromy> "Nay, maybe not 'we,' but I at least wish to help and would like some help from you."
[20:33] * Clyde sighs, "Weither we like it or not Falerin we need your help."
[20:33] <Falerin> Then they will die without it... I am not a god of Forgiveness
[20:33] <Eon> "Wait I thought the coldest place in hell was reserved for mutineers!?"
[20:34] <Falerin> Such does not fit my portfolio description
[20:34] * Strider sighs as well. "I see what you are saying."
[20:34] <Stromy> "But you do know of matters beyond our comprehension"
[20:34] <Fiona> "Falerin's helped us so much already..."
[20:34] * Clyde scowls, "Wow you gave up on Mori and now us? How pleasing..."
[20:34] <Elenor> ... So very true.
[20:34] * Falerin looks at Clyde
[20:34] <Elenor> ((Response to Fiona's comment))
[20:34] <Stromy> "For that we are indebted to him"
[20:34] <Falerin> Feel free to leave at any time sir
[20:34] <Stromy> "But now we need more help."
[20:34] <Falerin> Do not let the door hit you on your rear
[20:34] * Strider smiles. "Come to think about it Fal I would have died if you never let me come here."
[20:35] * Clyde walks up to Falerin, face to face. "You disgust me..."
[20:35] <Stromy> "Well..."
[20:35] <Falerin> You may try preaching to me again when you have done one millionth of what I have done
[20:35] * Fiona can't help but let out a small giggle at Falerin's remark.
[20:35] <Falerin> I have acted way beyond my responsibility and call already
[20:35] <Strider> "You have acted nice."
[20:35] <Falerin> And you are simply annoyed that I too have limits
[20:35] <Strider> "No been nice."
[20:35] <Stromy> "I wouldn't call it nice"
[20:35] <Vakametru> He has come here as a guest, to observe. And already he has told us more than we know...
[20:35] <Stromy> "But helpful, yes"
[20:35] <Falerin> Well I do have them
[20:35] <Clyde> "No I told Fiona you HAVE limits!"
[20:35] <Strider> "I am not annoyed you have limits! I stated all gods have limits!"
[20:35] <Falerin> They have been exceeded
[20:36] * Strider backs away again.
[20:36] <Falerin> You are simply wrong about what they are
[20:36] <Stromy> "Are you still willing and able to help us?"
[20:36] <Falerin> Where are the older seekers
[20:36] <Falerin> I need to speak to them
[20:36] <Stromy> "I am the only one here right now"
[20:36] * Falerin issues a spell of summons
[20:36] <Stromy> "Though I have been gone for a while"
[20:36] <Elenor> ... I don't know, I've been here only a short time.
[20:36] <Eitak_Razal> I'm here fal
[20:37] * Eon refills his pipe and continues smoking on it.
[20:37] <Fiona> "I'm not sure where Damsel and the others went..."
[20:37] <Eon> "Interesting indeed!"
[20:37] <Stromy> "If you wish I can impart you words to them when they return"
[20:37] <Rimblade> "I think they've become hoist of someone else's petard, if you know what I mean."
[20:38] <Eon> "Captain Picard?"
[20:38] <Stromy> your*
[20:38] <Strider> "Fal tell me, what will you do now?"
[20:38] <Rimblade> "Pe-TARD."
[20:38] <Eitak_Razal> Fal, please think things over before you do something you regret...
[20:38] * Clyde turns his back to Falerin. "I think you should leave then if you're so willing to give in...."
[20:38] * LordBarrius descends the stairwell and glances around. "What....? Falerin?"
[20:39] <Falerin> Tell me Clyde
[20:39] * Damsel 's nearly twinned selves appear in response to the summons, both looking as if they were roused from sleep during transit.
[20:39] * Durroth looks up from his book
[20:39] <Falerin> What is it you think I owe you
[20:39] <Elenor> ... Danm, where did Cerbero go?
[20:39] <Falerin> Because I rather think I ow you nothing
[20:39] <Falerin> It is quite the opposite I fear
[20:39] <Stromy> "You've hit it on the head"
[20:39] <Clyde> "You don't, but I own you nothing."
[20:39] <Fiona> "We owe you so much..."
[20:39] <Clyde> owe*
[20:39] <Stromy> "But what can we mere mortals do for you?"
[20:39] <Falerin> You do not.... is that what you believe....
[20:40] <Elenor> ... And some of us even owe you our lives.
[20:40] <Falerin> Delusion runs in your family too I see
[20:40] <Stromy> "By all means tell me, because I am more than willing to help you."
[20:40] <Falerin> Fine... I owe you nothing
[20:40] <Falerin> Feel free
[20:40] * Eitak_Razal bites her Lip. She is unsure of what she owes Fal.
[20:40] <Strider> "Fal ever stop to think you are going a bit TO FAR!!?"
[20:40] <Falerin> I will hold you to nothing either
[20:40] <Clyde> "Like Mori?"
[20:40] <Eitak_Razal> I know I owe you for letting me stay here. Despite...
[20:40] <Falerin> Your welcome is withdrawn
[20:40] <LordBarrius> "Falerin...."
[20:40] <Eitak_Razal> Fal?
[20:40] <Stromy> "Falerin..."
[20:40] <Strider> "Fal don't do this."
[20:40] <Falerin> You may not use my home for your crash pad
[20:40] <Strider> "FAL!!"
[20:40] <Falerin> I am owed nothing
[20:40] <Stromy> "Give it a day Fal..."
[20:40] <Clyde> "Crash pad? Is that what you think of it?"
[20:41] <Eon> "Wow."
[20:41] * Both Damsels look about confused, trying to fully awaken and get a grasp on what's being discussed.
[20:41] <Eitak_Razal> Fal please!
[20:41] <Falerin> It is apparently what YOU think of it
[20:41] <Eitak_Razal> Think this over?
[20:41] <Stromy> "You are owed...he just doesn't realize it"
[20:41] <Falerin> Since you owe me NOTHING
[20:41] <Eitak_Razal> ((*!)
[20:41] <Strider> "Fal your getting mad! Take a second and breathe in and out.!
[20:41] <Falerin> I release any and all claim on you....
[20:41] * Fiona remains silent, trying to word together something more then a name and criticism.
[20:41] <Elenor> ... I can see why he's getting mad though, to do all of this for us and then have you tell him you owe him nothing.
[20:41] <Falerin> I owe you nothing. You owe me nothing.
[20:42] <Falerin> Of course since I owe you nothing.
[20:42] * Stromy retreats into a corner, knowing nothing that he does or says will help now
[20:42] * Strider grabs Fal's shoulder trying to get his attention. "DON'T DO THIS!!"
[20:42] <Falerin> You have a lot of nerve getting angry with me at all
[20:42] * TaloToecan shakes his head furiously to clear it and get to grips with the current scenario.
[20:42] <Falerin> Since after all... why should I help you
[20:42] <Falerin> What pray is in it for me
[20:42] * Eon smokes his pipe heavily
[20:42] * Eitak_Razal waits for Strider to get thrown through the wall
[20:42] <Eon> "Intense."
[20:42] * Clyde slams his fist to the wall. "Well Fal you're one to talk about getting angry over nothing."
[20:42] <Stromy> "Don't confuse him with the rest of us Falerin"
[20:42] <Falerin> I do not act from altrustic motives Clyde
[20:42] <Falerin> I do not even believe in altruism
[20:43] * Eitak_Razal shouts "STOP IT!"
[20:43] <Falerin> Every act we take even the seeming selfless ones are driven by selfinterest
[20:43] <Strider> "It doesnt believe in you."
[20:43] <TaloToecan> "Angry...at Falerin? What? Who? Why would you...?"
[20:43] <LordBarrius> "F....Falerin....we DO respect your help."
[20:43] <Falerin> So... I really must say my need to help you.... is... abated
[20:43] <Falerin> My desire to help you has been rebuffed
[20:43] * Damsel 's younger self glances at Talo and shakes her head, indicating she's not very sure either.
[20:43] <Falerin> I am not giving up on you...
[20:43] <Stromy> "No Falerin, only by one person"
[20:43] <Falerin> I am letting you choose for your bloody self
[20:43] <Stromy> "We still wish your help"
[20:43] <Falerin> And if you do not like that choice
[20:44] <Eitak_Razal> He's talking to Clyde alone Stormy
[20:44] <Falerin> That is too bad
[20:44] <Falerin> Life is not fair clyde
[20:44] <Eitak_Razal> I think...
[20:44] <Falerin> Least of all for me
[20:44] <Stromy> "I wish to keep it that way"
[20:44] * Clyde nods in agreement.
[20:44] * Falerin turns his back coldly
[20:44] <Falerin> "I have not forgotten your threats to me either"
[20:44] * Clyde 's back is already turned coldly.
[20:44] <Strider> "Fal how about thinking about what your saying?@"
[20:44] <Strider> *?!
[20:44] <Falerin> "They are held suspended...."
[20:44] * Damsel 's elder version speaks quietly. "Falerin..."
[20:44] * TaloToecan frowns in the general sense. "I am...quite distressed that someone has stirred your ire so, Falerin."
[20:44] * Vakametru lowers his head, and retreats to the far end of the room in silence
[20:44] <Stromy> "Strider..."
[20:44] <Elenor> ... We can't even begin to imagine the kind of pressure Fal is under.
[20:44] <Falerin> "The Farpoint will act on them the second your welcome is withdrawn"
[20:44] <TaloToecan> "Lessons seem to have been forgotten."
[20:45] <Falerin> "For the sake of whatever friendship we might have had"
[20:45] <Strider> "Fal stop this!?"
[20:45] <Stromy> "History repeats itself?"
[20:45] <Falerin> "I wish you please leave quickly"
[20:45] <Eitak_Razal> Indeed they have Talo...
[20:45] * Rimblade looks from side to side, somewhat nervously.
[20:45] <Falerin> "I do not want to see you annihilated for foolish talk"
[20:45] * Strider looks at Fal.
[20:45] * Clyde takes his steps toward the exit of the Abode.
[20:45] <Falerin> "But they will do so... and once my protection is withdrawn"
[20:45] * Strider gets infront of Clyde
[20:45] <Falerin> "It is out of my hands"
[20:45] <Strider> "Stay."
[20:45] * Clyde stops.
[20:45] <Strider> "We can talk this through!"
[20:45] <Clyde> "Move Strider."
[20:45] * Stromy attempts to grab Strider
[20:45] <Falerin> "You threatened to kill me... and I held back the punishment you deserved...."
[20:46] * Stromy mutters to Strider, "You can't stop this"
[20:46] * Strider pushsesStromy
[20:46] <Falerin> "But quite right... You do owe me nothing."
[20:46] <Falerin> "Nothing at all"
[20:46] * TaloToecan frowns heavily at this news. "Who would dare such impropriety? Again, no less?"
[20:46] <Strider> "no Clyde
[20:46] * Stromy moves away
[20:46] <Elenor> Stop and consider this for a moment.
[20:46] * Eitak_Razal walks in Front of the door.
[20:46] <Strider> "Stay!"
[20:46] <Eitak_Razal> Please
[20:46] * Falerin walks away
[20:46] <Stromy> "Strider, STOP!"
[20:46] <Eitak_Razal> Both of you.
[20:46] * Eon tokes on his pipe like crazy! "Wow this is getting out of hand!"
[20:46] <Eitak_Razal> Stop it...
[20:46] <Strider> " MAKE ME!"
[20:46] * Damsel 's selves both sigh, though at slightly different moments of time.
[20:46] <Strider> "Fal you really went to far this time..."
[20:47] <Falerin> "Abode withdraw the order of protection arround the seeker Clyde at my mark"
[20:47] <Rimblade> "Cor, easy Talo. Only an idiot, immortal or Seeker would threaten gods regularly, I'm afraid."
[20:47] <Stromy> "There is no reason to fight, I have no quarrel with you, I only wish to prevent you from doing as Clyde did"
[20:47] <Falerin> "Since he desires not my favor..."
[20:47] <Strider> "FAL STOP THIS!!"
[20:47] * Elenor sighs.
[20:47] <Falerin> "And does not feel it beholds him in anyway
[20:47] <Strider> "Fal do it and don't think I can't hurt you!"
[20:47] <Fiona> "... I don't see how so, Strider. On some worlds simply threatening royalty in the slightest gets you killed."
[20:47] <Falerin> "Since he credits not my actions"
[20:47] <Strider> 'Don't do this!!"
[20:47] <TaloToecan> "Far? Far?" He harumphs in a manner quite similar to Hadin that it is almost disturbing. "Foolish choices..."
[20:47] <Fiona> "Atleast Falerin is allowing him to live..."
[20:47] <Stromy> "Strider, you don't know who Falerin really i s do you?"
[20:47] <Elenor> Strider, don't be an idiot. Threatning Fal falls under the "Insanely stupid" catagory, especially right now.
[20:48] <Falerin> That is the policy here too
[20:48] * Clyde head slightly turns in Fal's direction, "So Fal....did you enjoy this when you did it to Mori?"
[20:48] <Stromy> "He is a GOD, you cannot hurt him"
[20:48] * LordBarrius descends the stairwell fully and begins to follow Falerin. "Falerin....you know what I feel. Not all of us believe that way! I greatly respect you, for all you've done for us...."
[20:48] <Falerin> I did not do this to Mori
[20:48] <Strider> "I don't care who he is! Don't do this!"
[20:48] <Rimblade> "Sure you can!"
[20:48] <Vakametru> And he held back proper punishment...
[20:48] <Falerin> Mori is stil welcome here
[20:48] * Strider sheds a tear
[20:48] <Strider> "Please don't!!"
[20:48] <Falerin> I simply washed my hands of trying to convince him
[20:48] <Stromy> "Not if he doesn't wish it in his abode"
[20:48] <Falerin> I am too pressed with other responsibilities
[20:48] <Eon> "Wow now hes crying.."
[20:48] <Strider> "This is madness!"
[20:48] * Eon chuckles.
[20:48] * Strider looks at Eon
[20:48] <Stromy> "No, you are the mad one."
[20:48] * Clyde sighs, "Damn it guys..."
[20:49] <Strider> "Shut up Eon!"
[20:49] <Falerin> You can speak to me of self righteousness when you have lived a tenth as long as I
[20:49] * TaloToecan moves to stand next to the younger Damsel and take her hand in his. "This is far from what I had hoped for the course to take upon...such blessings and gifts."
[20:49] <Vakametru> He brought it on himself Strider... Falerin cant be blamed for what Clyde said...
[20:49] * Eitak_Razal holds her Hand out stright out in front of her and the Chronosblade forms "Stormy, Strider, Clyde... All three of you calm down.
[20:49] <Falerin> "Are you prepared to go Clyde?"
[20:49] <Strider> "Fal its not about years or hardships! What happened about unity! About friends!"
[20:49] <Stromy> "I am not angry"
[20:49] <Rimblade> "Rediculous, Stromy. Madness is not a title so easily bestowed."
[20:49] <Falerin> "What indeed"
[20:49] <Elenor> What happened to respect?
[20:49] <Stromy> "Not your kind Rim..."
[20:49] <Strider> "Fal edon't do this!!!"
[20:49] <Stromy> "He cannot acheive your level"
[20:49] * Clyde sighs at the question, "Well did I find the Truth?"
[20:49] * Damsel 's younger self sighs softly again as she entertwines her fingers with Talo's. "Some people refuse to learn, I suppose, or accept what is clearly before them."
[20:49] <Falerin> "My friend thinks he owes me nothing"
[20:49] <Falerin> "Ask him what happened"
[20:50] <Strider> "How about making him owe you!"
[20:50] <Falerin> "How my aid became so worthless"
[20:50] <Strider> "Clyde isn't thinking straghit!!!"
[20:50] <Falerin> "I did... the truth is he is in delusion"
[20:50] <Strider> "Hes mad and your mad!!"
[20:50] <Elenor> That's not the point. We all owe Fal, wether we realize it or not. Some more than others, but still.
[20:50] <Strider> "Talk it over!"
[20:50] <Falerin> "I am in fact forgiving his debt in full"
[20:50] <Falerin> "he is released from it"
[20:50] * Stromy looks at Strider, shakes his head and walks away
[20:50] <Strider> "Fal don't...
[20:50] <Falerin> "The time for talk ended"
[20:50] <Falerin> "Did you miss that lesson"
[20:50] <Strider> "Like Hell it has!"
[20:50] <Falerin> "This is not my action...."
[20:50] <Falerin> "This is HIS"
[20:51] <Strider> "ITS BOTH OF YOURS!"
[20:51] <Falerin> "He is the one turning his back"
[20:51] <Falerin> "No"
[20:51] * Stromy says, to no one in particular, "So this is what it has come to."
[20:51] <Strider> "yes!"
[20:51] <Falerin> "I am simply letting him go"
[20:51] <Strider> "You should hold tighter!"
[20:51] <Strider> "Letting go will do nothing..."
[20:51] * TaloToecan turns to glare at Strider. "You are wrong. The choice is indeed Clyde's, not Falerin's. And so is any blame for this recourse."
[20:51] <Falerin> "You may try to hang this on me... but in the end... I have LESS responsibility for this then you all do"
[20:51] * Fiona remains silent.
[20:51] <Falerin> "I offered my home"
[20:51] * Eitak_Razal is standing by the door, with her sword. "I don't like doing this guys, but no one, save Fal, is going to make me move and let any of you out."
[20:51] <Falerin> "I gave of my power"
[20:51] * Elenor nods agreement at Talo's comment.
[20:51] * Strider stares at Fal
[20:52] <Falerin> "The clerics of my own church get FAR LESS personal attention"
[20:52] <Strider> "And you ripped it away."
[20:52] <Falerin> "I mean that"
[20:52] <Falerin> "FAR LESS"
[20:52] <Stromy> "Eitak?"
[20:52] <Rimblade> "'S the hometown syndrome, eh?"
[20:52] <Strider> "It seems you are indeed Fal...The God of Evil..."
[20:52] <Falerin> "I was spurned"
[20:52] <Stromy> "What do you hope to acheive by this useless idea?"
[20:52] * Elenor facepalms at Strider's comment.
[20:52] <Falerin> "Is it evil to not hold someone against their will"
[20:52] <Falerin> "Good then"
[20:52] <Falerin> "I am evil"
[20:52] <Strider> "No
[20:52] <Elenor> What is Evil?
[20:52] <Falerin> "The invitation to leave is open to you as well..."
[20:53] * Eitak_Razal laughs.
[20:53] * Damsel 's elder version shakes her head sadly. "And still they do not try to understand."
[20:53] <Strider> "It is evil to look just let go a close friend like he was nothing."
[20:53] <Falerin> "I might note you too have threatened me injury"
[20:53] <Strider> "Be it his fault oor not."
[20:53] * Stromy looks at Damsel nodding, "Such are the new seekers."
[20:53] <Mariel> the matter of the threat has been recorded
[20:53] - John has left #darkabode
[20:53] * Stromy adds, "And some of the old"
[20:53] <Falerin> Thank you mariel
[20:53] * Falerin sighs
[20:53] * Strider stares at Fal.
[20:53] * Clyde turns to Fal after hearing Eitak and Strider, "Well Falerin...I do owe you something..."
[20:53] <Falerin> "You are right of course"
[20:53] <Falerin> "You can harm me"
[20:53] <Strider> "Fal I won't deny it."
[20:53] * Vakametru looks at Stromy and raises and eyebrow
[20:53] <Falerin> "Emotionally"
[20:53] * Eon sits in a cloud of tobacco smoke looking about in a dazed manner.
[20:53] <Falerin> "You are indeed doing that"
[20:53] <Strider> "I DO owe you something."
[20:54] <Falerin> "But pain.... is sometimes neccesary"
[20:54] <Fiona> ((Falerin owes him a punch in the face. :D))
[20:54] <Falerin> "I have learned where I stand"
[20:54] * Strider twitches
[20:54] <Falerin> "I shall go stand there"
[20:54] <Clyde> "You brought Lkeas back to the group that needed her the most...the group that I clearly don't belong in..."
[20:54] <Strider> "So what now Fal."
[20:54] <Strider> "your just going to let go the pain?"
[20:54] <Falerin> You decide your own belonging
[20:54] <Eitak_Razal> Clyde...
[20:55] <Vakametru> You do belong Clyde...
[20:55] <Eitak_Razal> You do belong with us... But your pushing us away...
[20:55] <ElderDamsel> "You know the opinions of these few are not those of the whole, Falerin. I stand with you now as I always have."
[20:55] <Falerin> Apparently however the group you need is one whose leader does it all for you
[20:55] <Falerin> and who never backs down
[20:55] <Falerin> Please seek him....
[20:55] <Beo> Me?!
[20:55] <Strider> "Fal please don't
[20:55] <Falerin> Perhaps Tirlerion can serve
[20:55] * Strider begins to shed more tears
[20:55] * Falerin enters the kitchen coldly
[20:55] <Strider> "Please don't..."
[20:55] <Eitak_Razal> Fal...
[20:55] <Eitak_Razal> Please...
[20:55] <Elenor> I wouldn't let anyone else, not even another god, lead me.
[20:55] * YoungerDamsel looks alarmed. "Falerin, no. Please, do not allow these young fools to sway you..."
[20:56] * LordBarrius 's gaze lowers. "Falerin....no. I respect you so....please don't feel this way. You say that I do not owe you, but indeed I owe you much. If not for your open invitation and caring...." he glances quietly at Damsel a moment before turning back to the kitchen. "Please...."
[20:56] <Abode> Curious
[20:56] * Rimblade looks around.
[20:56] <Abode> He instructed me to act on his mark
[20:56] <Abode> He never gave said mark
[20:56] <Rimblade> "Where DOES your voice come from, anyway?"
[20:56] * Strider is shocked
[20:56] <Clyde> "..."
[20:56] <Strider> "Indeed he didn't Abode!"
[20:56] <Vakametru> I guess you owe him something now...
[20:56] <Eitak_Razal> Same place all disembodied voices come from..
[20:56] * Eon falls asleep.
[20:56] <Elenor> Vaka, he already owed Fal..
[20:56] <Rimblade> "Ahhh. Peru, then."
[20:56] <Falerin> He does not forget things just from being emotional
[20:57] <Vakametru> But he didnt believe so Elenor
[20:57] <Falerin> *Abode
[20:57] * Fiona can't help but let out a small smile.
[20:57] * Damsel 's elder version hurries into the kitchen, not wishing Falerin to feel alone, if he is even there still. The younger looks at Talo, who still has her hand, as if asking what the bioandriod thinks.
[20:57] <Rimblade> "But he is quite dramatic."
[20:57] <Strider> "Fal...my question still stands. What now?"
[20:57] <Eitak_Razal> Drop it Strider...
[20:57] <Rimblade> "I'll tell you true- the stage mourns the loss of such a good actor to divinity."
[20:57] <Abode> It seems to me that he did answer that
[20:57] <Abode> He said what now is up to you
[20:57] <Abode> It is your problem
[20:57] <Abode> not his
[20:58] * Strider spreads his wings
[20:58] <Eitak_Razal> First Fulcan... Now Clyde... Who's next...
[20:58] * TaloToecan growls softly low in his throat as he shakes his head in sad frustration. "Do not turn to the route that Tirlerion would so entirely enjoy and benefit from." He gives the younger Damsel a pleading look and then turns to head to the kitchen, hoping she too will join him in being with Falerin.
[20:58] <Strider> "I need to think
[20:58] <Abode> he will respect whatever decision you make
[20:58] - Eon has disconnected (Exterminated: )
[20:58] <Rimblade> "Though, come to think of it, the stage never actually talks."
[20:58] * LordBarrius follows the elder Damsel into the kitchen, just as unwilling to turn his back on a dear friend.
[20:58] <Eitak_Razal> How long before I'm forced out too..
[20:58] * Strider goes outside and flies into the sky, thinking about the night. He needed to clear his head. "I will return..."
[20:58] * Durroth puts down his book and follows them
[20:58] <Abode> My voice is within your thought processes but is constructed to be percieved as external speech
[20:58] <Abode> The method is actually crafted telepathy
[20:58] * Eitak_Razal was blocking the door...
[20:59] * Eitak_Razal never moved
[20:59] * YoungerDamsel, not having yet had time to drift far from her 'analog,' had also desired to head for the kitchen and easily follows alongside Talo.
[20:59] <Rimblade> "I suspected as much. I guess you're the latest in 'smart house' technology, eh? Get it? Get it?"
[20:59] <Abode> Though I can produce a magical mouth for things that require true audio
[20:59] <Abode> Smart house... yes
[20:59] * Clyde tries to grasp what is happening. "What...does this mean?"
[20:59] <Abode> Technology not so much
[20:59] <Abode> I am alive
[20:59] <Abode> Not technological
[21:00] <Rimblade> "Well, technology in the broadest sense, possibly a tad beyond the word itself."
[21:00] <Abode> It means Clyde only this
[21:00] <Rimblade> "I can't possibly ruin a bad joke for the sake of accuracy."
[21:00] <Abode> Turn your back and walk out but only if you never intend to return
[21:00] <Abode> ever
[21:00] * Elenor goes into the kitchen, as well. "Fal... I wouldn't let anyone else lead me, god or no."
[21:00] <Abode> But if you select to stay
[21:00] <Abode> You accept the debts falerin has implied
[21:00] <Abode> and you acknowledge they bind you absolutely
[21:01] * Fiona glances at the kitchen, contemplating before hopping down off the chair and glancing at Clyde. She smiles slightly before turning and walking off towards the kitchen.
[21:01] <Abode> and acknowledge also his final judgement on matters of his own morality
[21:01] <Abode> Like everything else
[21:01] <Abode> Falerin has hung the choice
[21:01] <Abode> on you
[21:01] * Stromy leaves for the kitchen
[21:02] * Clyde looks to Fal, "Well apparently I'm important to these people...I'll stay."
[21:02] * Eitak_Razal lets go of her blade and it vanishs. She then walks over to a chair and sits down
[21:02] <Abode> As for why falerin washed his hands of Moridin and actually unleashed you and cast you aside
[21:02] <Abode> That is apparenrt
[21:02] <Abode> Moridin attacked Falerin's ideals and beliefs
[21:03] <Abode> To the point that it wore falerin down
[21:03] <Abode> But you attacked his nature and person itself
[21:03] <Clyde> "I shouldn't have gone at youl iek that Fal, I stood up for a person I hardily knew."
[21:03] * Falerin is not in the kitchen... the terrace door is open
[21:03] <Clyde> Like*
[21:03] <Stromy> "Abode, do you know anything of this occuring danger that Falerin mentioned? It seemed quite serious?"
[21:04] <Abode> No
[21:04] <Durroth> ...
[21:04] <Stromy> "Thanks"
[21:04] <Abode> I am a purely caelestian construct
[21:04] <Stromy> "Ah"
[21:04] <Abode> knowledge of lore is outside my purview
[21:04] <Rimblade> "I figure as that Fal, omni-womni and whatever else he is, he's still only got so much he can take. And the warning there is...."
[21:05] * Elenor looks out the terrace door.
[21:05] <Rimblade> "If you break it, we've all bought it, terminally!"
[21:05] * Stromy looks at the group and says, "Though Falerin said he was worn out, he did give us the threat of the immenent danger"
[21:05] * Stromy walks out onto the terrace
[21:05] * Korban awakes from his nuzzled positon on the shoulder of the chair, slowly peaking his head up having somhow over heard conversation, he then hops down to the chair and transforms into his old, large inimidating form, with the same old warm smirk.
[21:05] * Damsel 's elder self looks around a moment, then heads out onto the terraces, still searching for Falerin. The younger pauses long enough to look askince of Talo, though it's obvious she wishes to follow her counterpart.
[21:05] <Stromy> "Falerin, are you still here?"
[21:05] * TaloToecan blinks a few times, realizing his error, and proceeds towards the terrace gate in pursuit of Falerin. Presumably, he pulls the younger Damsel along with.
[21:05] * LordBarrius quickly exits through the terrace door and doesn't stop there, seeking Falerin out actively and hoping to keep him company.
[21:05] * Fiona watches the others leave and tags along after Talo.
[21:05] * Clyde walks out to the Terrance Gate in search for Falerin,
[21:06] * Durroth walks out onto the terrace, looking for fal
[21:06] * Stromy continues searching for Falerin, calling his name frequently
[21:06] * Abode stands in the Garden looking up at the sky
[21:06] <Fal-away> *Falerin
[21:06] * ElderDamsel calls out softly, "Falerin?"
[21:06] <Falerin> Do you know how long it has been
[21:06] * Vakametru realises practically everyone has gone... so he gets up and walks out into the garden
[21:06] * Elenor walks up to Fal.
[21:06] <Falerin> Since I have seen the sky of my own world at night
[21:06] <Falerin> The sky I was born under
[21:06] * Korban stands almost following the others, but stops at the doorway only peeking out to see enough of who is outside.
[21:07] <Vakametru> A long long time?
[21:07] <Elenor> ... I can't even begin to comprehend how much pressure you must be under.
[21:07] <Stromy> "How long ago was that>"
[21:07] <Stromy> ?*
[21:07] <Rimblade> "Fifteen?"
[21:07] <Falerin> "My birth?"
[21:07] <Stromy> "Yes."
[21:07] <Korban> Too long I'd suspect.
[21:07] <Falerin> "Or my last seeing of them"
[21:07] <Stromy> "I wish to hear whatever you wish to tell."
[21:07] * Clyde looks down at the grass and flowers. "I haven't been at my home world in a while either."
[21:07] <Stromy> "Both if you wish."
[21:07] * TaloToecan moves to stand near Falerin's side, joining him in gazing at the sky, and listening to him speak rather than interrupting.
[21:07] <Durroth> I'm guessing either would be "A long time ago"...
[21:07] <Falerin> "Depending on how you reckon it either 3000, 2 million, or 230 million years before Lore was made"
[21:07] <Korban> Curious... you almost sound home sick.
[21:08] <Clyde> "Falerin, I didn't mean to come at you like that. I shouldn't have stuck up for a person I hardly knew at all."
[21:08] <Falerin> "No?"
[21:08] <Rimblade> "So, Fifteen wasn't it."
[21:08] * Damsel 's selves lasp into silence as well for the moment, suspecting that Falerin has a point he wishes to make.
[21:08] <Falerin> "You miss the point Clyde"
[21:08] <Stromy> "More like 42 I think"
[21:08] <Falerin> "I encourage you to stick up for the defenseless"
[21:08] * Stromy becomes pensive
[21:08] <Falerin> "Whether you know them or not"
[21:08] <Falerin> "I defend a world I hardly know in the scheme of things"
[21:09] * Strider lands on the beach by the Abode and sits down, staring at the waves.
[21:09] <Falerin> "Though I have lived through it since its first creation"
[21:09] * Korban mumbles to himself aloud, "I wonder if it get's tiring having to stand ahead of others instead of beside them..."
[21:09] <Falerin> "It is compared to my own life the breifest of flirtations"
[21:09] <Falerin> "I have not been here looking at this sky"
[21:09] <Falerin> "Actually looking"
[21:09] <Falerin> "In over 240 years"
[21:10] <Korban> It's the small things.
[21:10] <Stromy> "And what do you see in the sky?"
[21:10] <Elenor> ... about twelve times longer than I've been alive.
[21:10] * Clyde takes a flower into hish ands and holds it up the sky. "It is beautiful."
[21:10] * Korban smirks slightly.
[21:10] <Falerin> I have gone through in that time Arden, and 14 predecessors
[21:10] * Fiona remains quiet, happily listening to Falerin's reminicence of his home.
[21:10] <Falerin> And never once looked
[21:10] <Falerin> "I never came out here"
[21:10] <Falerin> "When I arrive what do I do"
[21:10] <Vakametru> Why?
[21:10] <Clyde> "I...how is Arden?"
[21:10] <Falerin> "I appear in the abode"
[21:11] <Falerin> "I never look at my own world"
[21:11] <Falerin> "Because I defending a world that does not value my defense"
[21:11] * Damsel 's elder self walks quietly towards LordBarrius and reaches out to gently take his hand in her own as the discussion continues.
[21:11] * Falerin gestures and gravity seems to just vanish in the terrace
[21:12] * TaloToecan turns his head towards Falerin and smiles. "You worry about so many things Falerin, including us. You've lost the time to enjoy the small things, haven't you? Until tonight, and even this..." he gestures towards the sky and then at the others, "...came at a sad price. I am sorry for the follies we commit. The lot of us."
[21:12] * Clyde takes a look of guilt into his expression. "Falerin, it was foolish of me to compare you to my own past expericences. I'm sorry."
[21:12] * Falerin floats up into that night sky allong with all of the loose objects on the Terrace surface
[21:12] * Strider opens his wings and sales up into the air again
[21:12] <Rimblade> "Bigawds, he's afloat!"
[21:12] <Falerin> "It is not the first time you have done that to me"
[21:12] * Korban stands in the door way feeling no effects.
[21:12] <Stromy> "But yet, you still help us."
[21:12] <Falerin> "If you want an emotionless, all knowing, transcendant deity I am not he"
[21:12] <Clyde> "I can't let go...I just can't..."
[21:13] <Elenor> I would never follow such a person.
[21:13] <Korban> Oh and who are you?
[21:13] <Stromy> "Why do you act like that so often then?"
[21:13] <Falerin> "Unfortunately in my experience deities like that"
[21:13] <Falerin> "Are..... distant"
[21:13] * YoungerDamsel "Falerin you are valued here, greatly so. It was not lightly that we called you the patriarch of this family. Without you... we would be much less than what we are now."
[21:13] <Stromy> "We wish to interact with you, but you distance yourself from us/"
[21:13] <Rimblade> "AND without cell phones."
[21:13] <Falerin> "They let things happen... so you will get even less aid from them than from I"
[21:13] <Fiona> "I... Uh, Falerin, I assure you... Even if it might not seem like it, I'm sure many people on Lore appreciate your help, really."
[21:13] <Falerin> Would Moridin say the same?
[21:14] * Rimblade looks around for Moridin.
[21:14] <Falerin> "Or would he call me another who meddles where I have no right
[21:14] <Stromy> "Does it matter?"
[21:14] <Falerin> "Yes"
[21:14] <Korban> Value does not suffice to the greater good, but please don't assume I haven't been taking in your word.
[21:14] <Falerin> it matters absolutely
[21:14] <Elenor> This is why I will follow you... You're a person, too. You've much greater powers, have lived for longer than I could even imagine, and must be under more stress then I could even comprehend, but you're a person.
[21:14] <Falerin> You must understand
[21:14] <LordBarrius> "Falerin, we do not want such a deity. We want YOU. It is as my dearest said...." he squeezes her hand softly in support. "....you are more than a leader. You are a father to us."
[21:14] <Falerin> He questions by what right The`Galin acts
[21:14] - Lucas_Michaels!leekrs1@Caelestia-A619B269.salmky.tds.net has joined #darkabode
[21:14] <Falerin> The`Galin is the being CHARGED with acting
[21:14] <Stromy> "Why should you value the opinion of one who disrespects you more than a whole group who utterly revere you?"
[21:14] <Falerin> I am an outside force
[21:15] <Rimblade> "Now wait, though. If you're not going to meddle, who is? Not that I want that answer, mind."
[21:15] <Falerin> So If The`Galin is unwelcome so am I
[21:15] <Korban> So you feel you are steering the natural course?
[21:15] <Falerin> One cannot have your cake and eat it
[21:15] <Stromy> "with open arms"
[21:15] <Korban> Stopping what must be done morals aside?
[21:15] <Fiona> "That's... No, Moridin probably doesn't appreciate it... He thinks he can do everything himself."
[21:15] <Falerin> "No he does not"
[21:15] <ElderDamsel> "YOu would allow one to taint your vision of Lore as a whole?"
[21:15] <Falerin> "That is the problem"
[21:15] <Falerin> "He is fully aware that he cannot do what he seeks"
[21:16] <Elenor> The dissenting voices ususally speak the loudest.
[21:16] * Falerin continues floating now some 2000 feet above fair harbor
[21:16] * Korban is astonished at how Falerin takes the judgement of others to heart.
[21:16] * Clyde sighs, "Falerin...I have alot to learn from you...to everyone."
[21:16] <Stromy> "Or are they just the ones heard by the ones in power the loudest?"
[21:16] * Fiona sighs. "Dreamseeker might be a better title for him..."
[21:16] <Rimblade> "No, I'm pretty sure they shout."
[21:16] * TaloToecan kicks out lightly, moving more by nudges of telekinesis than the motion, and wraps an arm around the Younger Damsel. "Falerin, I would not be here were it not for you. Hadin would not have left his workshop till his end days. For my blood-kin, I thank you, and would never wish you to leave. And I think the rest of my sibkin would agree."
[21:16] <Falerin> I think perhaps I shall challenge one who loves me and knows me
[21:17] <Stromy> "They shout yes, but they shout meaningless hate-filled words"
[21:17] <Falerin> You tell the others Talo
[21:17] <Falerin> Why the opinion of Moridin matters more then 100 who revere me
[21:17] <Korban> Please, do.
[21:17] <Falerin> What makes his one opinion so important to me
[21:17] <Falerin> Postulate
[21:17] * TaloToecan nods slightly and turns to the others. "I shall try, sir."
[21:18] * Falerin literally lays downhere in the air
[21:18] <Strider> ((Postulate??))
[21:18] * Falerin stares up at the night sky
[21:18] <Stromy> ((Make hypthesies))
[21:18] <Elenor> You're not one to brush off someone's opinion just because they don't agree with you. You don't just cover your eyes and pretend it doens't exist by ignoring it.
[21:18] * Korban now looks rather annoyed at the actual action of one looking down his nose, at *the* Falerin Ardendor, to be so devistating.
[21:18] * Damsel 's younger self frowns, floating alongside Talo. She has a few suspicions herself as to why this might be, but lets her love front the question as asked.
[21:18] <Stromy> "Falerin?"
[21:19] * Rimblade rummages in his pockets, hoping to find a resometer which doesn't exist.
[21:19] * Fiona quietly turns her attention to Talo, although she continues to look off at they sky.
[21:19] * Korban now contemplates flying his way upto the others(?)/Falerin.
[21:20] <Falerin> Let me guide it somewhat
[21:20] <Falerin> The problem is not that I do not value you
[21:20] * LordBarrius gently wraps an arm around his Damsel, listening quietly.
[21:20] <Falerin> Or your opinion of me
[21:21] <Falerin> For indeeed I do
[21:21] <Korban> But...
[21:21] * Damsel 's elder self rests her head against LordBarrius' shoulder lightly, her own thoughts not much differing from those of her other self, unsurprisingly.
[21:21] <Falerin> The problem is related to this.... as was so succinctly state earlier that I make no distinction between HellSeeker and TruthSeeker
[21:21] <Stromy> "In my limited lifetime I have gleaned one piece of knowledge that I would like to impart to you. Take it for what you will but just listen to what I have to say. For years I let the hate of others govern my actions, only in the recent past have I realized how little they care for the words coming out of their mouthes. All they care is that the words hurt the ones that they hate. It took many years for me to realize that I shou
[21:22] <Falerin> ((Cutoff at I shou))
[21:22] <Stromy> ((?))
[21:22] <Korban> ((Yuppers.))
[21:22] <Strider> ((It cut off))
[21:22] <Elenor> ((Your message got cut off))
[21:22] <LordBarrius> "There is no great difference between them."
[21:22] <Korban> ((Realize that I shou-))
[21:22] <Stromy> ((ah ctd))
[21:23] <TaloToecan> "Reverence, even when of true love for another as a friend or a brother, colors the mind and the nature of an arguement. When one is neither fond nor close, but rather instead distant, they are unrestrained in their points and uncolored in context. Moridin, it is not that he colors himself a Hellseeker, it is that his arguments are uncolored by a close relationship with Falerin like the bulk of us are."
[21:23] <Falerin> Yes
[21:23] <Falerin> That indeed is a large part of it
[21:23] <Rimblade> "Huh. I never thought of it that way."
[21:24] <Fiona> "So... Unbiased opinions mean much more to you then biased ones?"
[21:24] * floats gently. "I do believe my love puts it even more succinctly, perception taints truth." He squeezes the younger Damsel gently. "Or you could share your enlightenment, dear heart."
[21:24] * TaloToecan *floats gently. "I do believe my love puts it even more succinctly, perception taints truth." He squeezes the younger Damsel gently. "Or you could share your enlightenment, dear heart."
[21:24] <Korban> Though this relationship is shifted in the opposing direction I suppose?
[21:24] <Falerin> It is also this... the sitiation with Moridin is not as clyde might think that I gave up on him
[21:24] * Damsel 's selves share a mirrored smile, Talo having spoken their thought aloud.
[21:25] <Falerin> It is not that I care little for him
[21:25] <Falerin> But rather that I care too much...
[21:25] <Elenor> You're frusturated... and you care.
[21:25] <Falerin> Naturally one is not disturbed by people who think highly of them
[21:25] <Falerin> At least normally
[21:25] <Korban> Because he is blinded... or because he can not be saved...?
[21:26] <Falerin> But if you care for someone
[21:26] <Falerin> And
[21:26] <Stromy> "ld pay more attention to those who love and care for me because they wish to help...not harm you with their thoughts. Their thoughts convey love and hope vs hate and agony."
[21:26] <Stromy> "In my limited lifetime I have gleaned one piece of knowledge that I would like to impart to you. Take it for what you will but just listen to what I have to say. For years I let the hate of others govern my actions, only in the recent past have I realized how little they care for the words coming out of their mouthes. All they care is that the words hurt the ones that they hate. It took many years for me to realize that I shou
[21:26] <Stromy> ld pay more attention to those who love and care for me because they wish to help...not harm you with their thoughts. Their thoughts convey love and hope vs hate and agony."
[21:26] <Falerin> You give Moridin far too much malevolence
[21:27] <Falerin> what drives him is not malice or desire to harm by hurtful words
[21:27] <Elenor> He's.. arguing for what he believes in.
[21:27] <Falerin> He makes the statements he makes
[21:27] <Rimblade> "Ah. It's at times like this which I like to apply my personal motto."
[21:27] <Korban> I'd prefer to hear the man who has had more life and death experience than any of us combined, just until he is finished with his word, I'm a bit confused.
[21:27] <Falerin> Because he believes in them fully
[21:27] <Falerin> And that troubles me beyond all else
[21:27] * TaloToecan frowns gently. "Ignoring the opinion of those who do not love and care for you is folly. What else would keep you level-headed, if all you hear is supportive thought and caring compliment?"
[21:28] <Falerin> Because he does not value me enough to hear me at all
[21:28] * Stromy looks at Talo, "I ignore the hate, not the words"
[21:28] <Korban> I think even you made the point that not all minds can be swayed, it's his will.
[21:28] <Falerin> I feel as I do for moridin because quite simply I have already failed him
[21:28] <Korban> hm...
[21:28] <Stromy> "How have you failed him if he never wished to succeed by the means you tried to teach him?"
[21:28] <Elenor> .. It's not your fault. You can't convince everyone and do everything.
[21:29] <Vakametru> I dont really understand... why is it your fault if he does not value you? Is it not his fault?
[21:29] <Falerin> The factual knowledge of fault makes little difference
[21:29] <Falerin> this is not about fault
[21:29] <Fiona> "I... Don't think Moridin is completely lost..."
[21:29] <Falerin> This is about chosen obligation
[21:29] * Clyde falls back, now lying on the grass facing the beautiful night sky. "...."
[21:29] <Korban> Ah, your obligation.
[21:30] <Falerin> I feel homesick but tonight I will leave Calestia
[21:30] <Falerin> Because I love Lore
[21:30] <Fiona> "Thank you."
[21:30] <Falerin> I love Caelestia too
[21:30] <Stromy> "You should come and talk with us more often"
[21:30] <Falerin> But Caelestia needs me less
[21:30] <Stromy> "We miss you a lot"
[21:30] <Rimblade> "Will you build there a massive tower with a huge laser beam within it?"
[21:30] <Falerin> Caelestia is not at a time of crisis
[21:30] <Stromy> "Can we help you in LORE?"
[21:30] <Stromy> "Seek answers?"
[21:31] <Stromy> "Seek Truth?"
[21:31] * Strider lands in the Abode, in time to hear Falerins last few comments. He stays back at the Door where he can not be seen.
[21:31] <Elenor> Isn't that what we're here to do?
[21:31] <Stromy> "Yes."
[21:31] * TaloToecan smiles gently. "And if it does...when it does, depending on Tirlerion...there are those of us who will try to return the favor."
[21:31] <Falerin> The time of the fire is coming
[21:31] <Stromy> "I'll be sure to bring a hose."
[21:31] <Falerin> Some may not survive the flames
[21:31] <Falerin> One I care for a great deal expects fully to die
[21:31] <Falerin> and i cannot dissaude him
[21:31] <Fiona> "Galrick...?"
[21:32] * Korban sighs for The one Galrick.
[21:32] <Falerin> I have tried to convince him to leave
[21:32] * ElderDamsel speaks softly. "Some already have been lost to it as well... but they will not be forgotten."
[21:32] * Strider mutters so noone heres. "What is this..."
[21:32] <Falerin> to hide away from Ryuusei on tera
[21:32] <Falerin> Untill this ends
[21:32] <TaloToecan> "He has the spirit of the warrior, in that sense."
[21:32] <Falerin> But Galrick is not done with Lore
[21:32] <Falerin> He will not be swayed
[21:33] <Stromy> "Some cannot just sit idly by..."
[21:33] <Elenor> Aye..
[21:33] <Korban> A man who hides in a brick house, will still have fears waiting on the other side of the door.
[21:33] <Rimblade> "Because they've got rythem and soul!"
[21:33] <Falerin> And I fear he has made a self-fulfiling prophecy
[21:33] <YoungerDamsel> "Galrick..."
[21:33] <Falerin> He expects to die... and acts on that exectation
[21:33] <Stromy> "One cannot be swayed by prophecy"
[21:33] <Falerin> I cannot say I favor his chances
[21:33] <Stromy> "One must live life"
[21:33] <Korban> You don't think, he'd try to fulfill said prophecy at any costs, being he puts so much belief into it?
[21:33] <Falerin> You miss the point
[21:34] <Elenor> If you expect to die, you throw yourself into situations where you are likely to. I know this from firsthand experience.
[21:34] <Falerin> he has prophesyed his own death
[21:34] <TaloToecan> "It is his choice, Falerin, though you love him as you do."
[21:34] <Falerin> and by his choice
[21:34] <Elenor> Since you already consider yourself dead, you just go ahead with it.
[21:34] <Fiona> "We'll do our best to help him, even if he's expecting to die, right...?"
[21:34] <Stromy> "That doesn't mean that it will happen the way he sees it."
[21:34] <Falerin> may make that very thing true
[21:34] <Clyde> "Does the Huntress have to do with this?"
[21:34] <Falerin> His actions already assume he will die
[21:35] <Falerin> and thus he probably will
[21:35] * Korban sighs, "Beliefs, so much is lost because of them."
[21:35] * Strider mutters own breath again. "So this is what the pressure for Fal must feel like. What have I done?"
[21:35] <Rimblade> "Ahhh. That's why he keeps hitting on the Huntress then. Because he's assured himself of death."
[21:35] <Stromy> 'I sure hope he doesn't die"
[21:35] <Stromy> "With that I bid you all adieu"
[21:35] <Elenor> I know how he feels. At least somewhat.
[21:35] <Falerin> Of course I always knew he would likely die that he was too entangled to be safe in the end
[21:36] <Falerin> But I would have liked to spare him anyway
[21:36] <Rimblade> "I sure hope not too, operating under the assumption that, in all cases, death is the worst fate in his fatal scenario."
[21:36] <Stromy> "Hasta Manaña"
[21:36] <YoungerDamsel> "I think we'd all like to see him spared."
[21:36] <Stromy> "Buenos Noches:
[21:36] <Falerin> An empty hope though
[21:36] * Stromy walks back inside
[21:36] - Stromy has left #darkabode
[21:36] <Falerin> My burden is that I can never realize what I seek
[21:37] <Strider> "Stromy
[21:37] <Rimblade> "Hah! A worthless hope is better than nothing, though."
[21:37] <Falerin> I try too hard to deny fate
[21:37] <Elenor> But that doesn't mean you should stop trying.
[21:37] <ElderDamsel> "Perhaps some way may yet be found."
[21:37] <Falerin> Free will is two sided
[21:37] * Strider looks at Stromyas he walks past the Door. "Sorry for yelling..."
[21:37] <Korban> Indeed, and constantly flipping.
[21:37] <Rimblade> "Seven-sided, and rolled by insane gamblers."
[21:37] * Falerin gesutres and the assembled return slowly to the ground as gravity reassets itself at first quite mildly but upon landing softly fully
[21:38] <Rimblade> "To rip a metaphor to shreds."
[21:38] <Falerin> I have been through this sort of thing before
[21:38] <Falerin> It never gets easier
[21:38] <Falerin> but I still end up putting myself in these situations
[21:38] <Falerin> Yet many would persume to teach me patience
[21:39] <Falerin> or lecture me when I speak from annoyance
[21:39] <Falerin> None here has ever seen me angry
[21:39] <Falerin> not ever
[21:39] <Falerin> Count yourselves lucky
[21:39] * Damsel 's elder self sighs softly. "Forgive us our foolishness."
[21:39] * Falerin vanishes
