Session XXV
From Caelwiki
[16:48] * Lkeas looks up at Falerin. "Thank you, LoreMaster..." Falerin: "I am glad to see you have decided to cooperate Micah. Since
you are the mirror's official keeper I thought there might be a problem" bolt forms on its surface. He then touches several other places and the
lighning bolt changes shade to deep teal.... with a turquouse and
yellow band arround the extremes. The lighning bolt also straightens
into a single line with no jagged points like a strike of electricity you know Hadin would not have prefered to stay as he is now?" here, and they get stranger....we had better not linger...." here for some time yet as Falerin and Chronos converse. volunteer my thanks for choosing to not to interfere and even to help
with the task. It is, in a manner, quite dear to me as I am sure you
already are aware." suggest that they yet exist if you can send someone there. Or do I not
understand?" "You are not alone to have the gift granted to carry such a burden." heavily, sir Chronos, might I ask what you do to resist? Do you attempt
to prevent it in any way?"
[16:48] * Falerin takes out a cell phone
[16:48] Falerin: "Matthew Johansen"
[16:48] *** Useless is now known as Talo-Toecan.
[16:48] Besides,: it would be rude to ask me about someone else in their presence.
[16:49] * Useless chuckles softly and moves to stand. "An interesting turn of phrase, Lore Master."
[16:49] * Lkeas nods.
[16:49] * Zeltan places a hand on Lkeas' shoulder "Glad you're fine."
[16:49] Falerin: "14 to beam up Mr. Johansen"
[16:49] >Ambiance<: A large 7 pronged blue lighning bolt appears
[16:49] * Falerin looks about
[16:49] Falerin: "Well then"
[16:49] *** Damsel has joined #epic.
[16:49] Falerin: "Lets go"
[16:50] * Falerin steps into the lighning bolt
[16:50] * AlastorRyst appears from a dimensional tear, which quickly closes after his exit
[16:50] * Ness hesitantly follows Falerin
[16:50] * Lkeas follows Falerin into the portal
[16:50] * LordBarrius nods slowly and steps into the lightning bolt.
[16:50] * Dale yawns. "Another one." He then steps into the lightning bolt.
[16:50] * SplinterClaw cofusedly follows everyone else
[16:51] * Jeice follows as well.
[16:51] * Ness bows to Falerin when he arrives on the other end
[16:51] *** Mode change "+v Damsel" for channel #epic by Falerin.
[16:51] * AlastorRyst walks into the bolt, solemnly
[16:51] * limewirelord limewirelord follows everyone else
[16:51] * limewirelord slaps his head because of his typing error.
[16:52] *** Necro has joined #epic.
[16:52] Ness: Oh, Loremaster, do you anticipate combat during our little excursion?
[16:52] >Ambiance<: The portal exists out into a small cafe in Washington D.C. on a paralell earth
[16:53] AlastorRyst: Oh? A cafe again?
[16:53] * Falerin enters the Cafe
[16:53] Dale: Another one...
[16:53] Necro: Interesting...
[16:53] * Lkeas walks in after Falerin
[16:53] * AlastorRyst leans on the wall outside the cafe
[16:53] Micah: he is waiting upstairs
[16:53] * LordBarrius silently follows.
[16:53] * Falerin nods at Micah
[16:53] * AlastorRyst scans the area, and follows
[16:53] * SplinterClaw ignores the unusual looks he gets from the other customers
[16:53] * Falerin pushes pass the counter into the kitchen
[16:53] * Talo-Toecan follows after slight examination, still holding Damsel's hand in his.
[16:53] * Ness finds a seat and sits down
[16:54] Ness: So, what are we doing this time?
[16:54] Ness: Do we have a target?
[16:54] * Lkeas waves at Micah and follows Falerin into the kitchen
[16:54] * Falerin reenters the seating area Followed by matthew the two carry a large ornate mirror
[16:54] * Damsel smiles slightly at Talo-Toecan before turning her gaze to her surroundings.
[16:54] * Necro takes a seat next to Ness
[16:54] * Lkeas chuckles and follows Falerin right back out. "I feel like I'm in a parade or something."
[16:55] * LordBarrius tilts his head in curiousity at the mirror. "What is that for, Falerin?"
[16:55] Ness: ((D'oh I have to go))
[16:55] AlastorRyst: Might as well be...
[16:55] *** Ness has signed off IRC (Vanished: Be back later).
[16:55] * Talo-Toecan examines the mirror curiosuly. "Is that...what I suspect it to be, Lore Master?"
[16:55] Matthew: it is prepared Ardendor. I do hope you have figured out what you are doing
[16:55] SplinterClaw: Ardendor?
[16:55] Falerin: "Ah.. the mirror of the wyk it is good to see it again...."
[16:55] AlastorRyst: Falerin.
[16:55] * Lkeas frowns. "You still plan on following through with this.."
[16:55] AlastorRyst: That's his last name.
[16:55] * Daniel picks up on Damsel being there and dashes over to greet her silently *
[16:56]
[16:56] SplinterClaw: I've never met a god with a last name before, sorry for my ignorance...
[16:56]
Micah: "psh. As if I could have stopped my brother once he decided....
But I share his reticence. I do hope you have this matter fully figured
out"
[16:56] AlastorRyst: No problem.
[16:56] Falerin: "We shall have the answer to that soon enough...."
[16:57] AlastorRyst: He's Falerin, he is what he is.
[16:57] Falerin: "Open the doorway"
[16:57] * Damsel gives Daniel a half-smile before turning her attention to Falerin.
[16:58] Jeice: Where are we headed?
[16:58] * Daniel too turns his attention to the occurrances and pockets his Il Principe book as he watches *
[16:58]
[16:58] Falerin: "Pointless?"
[16:59] Falerin: "I do not believe I have ever seen such a portal before"
[16:59] * Matthew The points have something to do with relative limbs on the treee
[16:59] * Matthew Your destination is not the limbs but beyond
[17:00] * Talo-Toecan 's eyes widen as he realizes that he is learning something new alongside a god himself.
[17:00] * Matthew makes seveal other adjustments and the shape changes again untill a multiforked branching bolt
[17:00] * Damsel appears slightly startled, her worry palpable about such an endevour.
[17:00] Falerin: "The roots"
[17:00] * AlastorRyst tilts his head, staring at the mirror unimpressed
[17:00] Matthew: Aye
[17:00] * Necro observes, quite facinated with the mirror
[17:00] * LordBarrius frowns slightly, seemingly not excited at the prospect, but keeps his silence.
[17:01]
[17:01] * Matthew makes final adjustments and the image leaps off the surface of the mirror and Coalesces into the room
[17:01] * SplinterClaw watches silently, the idea of traveling through mirror facinating him.
[17:01] >Ambiance<: Several gunshots are heard outside followed by pounding on the Cafe door
[17:01] AlastorRyst: It seems we have company.
[17:01] * AlastorRyst turns around
[17:01] Voices: Time is rigid. Your attempts to alter time are a violation of reality
[17:01] * SplinterClaw draws thorn blade
[17:01] * Talo-Toecan whirls his head and tenses animalistically at the sound.
[17:01] Jeice: I can't imagine that is good...
[17:01] You: shall be normalized
[17:01] You: shall be normalized
[17:02] * Jeice turns towards the door.
[17:02] AlastorRyst: Is that so?
[17:02] * Damsel 's head whips around to face the offending noise.
[17:02] >Ambiance<: Speaking in our own voices
[17:02] You: shall be normalized
[17:02] You: shall be normalized
[17:02] SplinterClaw: -what?
[17:02] * Lkeas follows the noise. "What in the world..."
[17:02] * AlastorRyst sighs
[17:02] Falerin: I hear myself saying "Shall be normalized as a sort of Mantra"
[17:02] AlastorRyst: Shall I get rid of them?
[17:02] Lkeas: They are not Hitmarks..?
[17:02] Matthew: Transit now I recommend
[17:02] AlastorRyst: Or can't I?
[17:03] Talo-Toecan: "I do not like hearing my voice like that...it is, unnatural."
[17:03] Voices: We are You. We are you. Be one with us
[17:03] Voices: Normal
[17:03]
[17:03] AlastorRyst: Normal.
[17:03] AlastorRyst: What IS normal?
[17:03] * Necro nods in agreement.
[17:03] Micah: (looking out the door) "3 dozen hitmarks
[17:03] Daniel: Analogs merging?
[17:03] * Lkeas shudders. "I've had enough problems with analogs for now, thank you.. let's go."
[17:03] SplinterClaw: I'm not the type of person for normality.
[17:03] * Damsel nods slightly. "Yes, I think perhaps we should take action soon."
[17:04] * AlastorRyst sighs once more
[17:04] Jeice: 3 dozen?! I don't think we should wait around.
[17:04] Micah: Mark 7's
[17:04] Falerin: Mark 7's
[17:04] Lkeas: Why do they sound like us?
[17:04] Falerin: That is a new model?
[17:04] Micah: Doppelgangers
[17:04] * Daniel downs the rest of his hot chocolate and ditches it *
[17:04] AlastorRyst: New model?
[17:04] * Dale yawns. "New model?"
[17:04] Falerin: I see
[17:04] Falerin: Lets not stick arround to meat
[17:04] * AlastorRyst orders an espresso
[17:04] Falerin: er meet
[17:04] * LordBarrius snorts. "I don't care for look-alikes much. I'm ready to leave."
[17:05] * Micah gestures an an espresso appears before Alastor
[17:05] * Lkeas shivers again. "Let's not let them turn us INTO meat."
[17:05] SplinterClaw: Or pie... let's go!
[17:05] Falerin: "A bit vulgar for you isn't it... I thought you were the subtle one?"
[17:05] * AlastorRyst nods to Micah, and drinks his espresso in one gulp, despite the heat
[17:05] * Talo-Toecan turns back to Falerin. "This is your endeavor, even if it is to benefit my father. We wait on you."
[17:05] Micah: Desperate times...
[17:05] * Falerin enters the forking bolts
[17:05] * Lkeas looks back again at the mirror.
[17:06] * Jeice follows Falerin.
[17:06] * SplinterClaw looks around and jumps in after them
[17:06] * Talo-Toecan glances at Damsel, then tugs lightly on her hand as he walks to enter the bolts.
[17:06] >Ambiance<: Unlike the normal swirling mist there is a tower of black mist stretching toward eternity
[17:06] * Damsel takes a steadying breath, squeezes Talo-Toecan's hand once and steps in after him.
[17:06] * LordBarrius turns and follows quickly.
[17:06] * AlastorRyst tosses Micah a gold coin on his way through the portal, "You conjure a good espresso."
[17:06] * Dale walks after the rest.
[17:06] * Necro follows the others into the portal
[17:06] * Daniel dashes to go through the mirror as well.
[17:06] * Lkeas leaps in after Daniel
[17:06] >Ambiance<: An old man appears dressed in flowing pleated gray robes
[17:07] SplinterClaw: who are you?
[17:07] * Talo-Toecan examines the man critically.
[17:07] Falerin: "I did not expect to see you here. Arent you a bit beyond your element"
[17:07] * AlastorRyst tilts his head at the man
[17:07] AlastorRyst: Who's this guy?
[17:08] Man: You tell me Ardendor. Your plan involves my element in every manner shape and form
[17:08] * Lkeas looks from Falerin to the old man. "You know him, LoreMaster?"
[17:08] * Damsel reguards the man with curiousity in her eyes.
[17:08] * Necro observes the man, curious as to who he is
[17:08] Jeice: That wouldn't be Eldron... would it?
[17:08] Falerin: "You have not had worshippers on this plane for what... 1000 years nearly 2000"
[17:08] Man: You might be surprised who still worships me. In my many guises.
[17:09] * AlastorRyst narrows his eyes
[17:09] Dale: I take it you're a deity of some sort, then?
[17:09] AlastorRyst: Who IS this thing?
[17:09] SplinterClaw: what is he?
[17:09] * Daniel wonders what guises have been taken *
[17:09]
Man: And aside from that you are engaging in a temporal game. Which
means I can respond from any epoch. In fact I knew you were coming and
expected your arrival. I remembered it clearly. One of the effects of
living backwards
[17:09] * Talo-Toecan gestures Alastor and the others to silence and watches the exchange curiously.
[17:09] * Lkeas flashes Alastor a warning glance. "It's not really very proper to address someone as a 'thing'."
[17:09] Falerin: "You plan on stopping me then?"
[17:10] SplinterClaw: living backwards?
[17:10] * Falerin takes out a large hour glass
[17:10] * AlastorRyst whispers to Lkeas, "I think he made it clear he's not a man, or a woman."
[17:10] Falerin: "I do not think you will"
[17:10] * Man gestures and the hour glass is ripped out of Falerin's hands
[17:11] * Man You forget yourself Ardendor
[17:11] Man: I am a deity here. You are not. No matter how old my portfolio may be"
[17:11] * LordBarrius tilts his head at the unfamiliar figure, a little surprised by the display.
[17:11] * Damsel 's eyes go wide at this, in both surprise and worry.
[17:11] * AlastorRyst braces himself
[17:11] * Lkeas blinks in surprise.
[17:11] Falerin: "Fine Chronos"
[17:11] SplinterClaw: crud
[17:11] Falerin: "Then what exactly do you plan to do...."
[17:11] * AlastorRyst widens his eyes
[17:11] * Dale smiles. "Chronos, what a surprise."
[17:11] Falerin: "Why do you get involved rather then your Oracles of time"
[17:12]
[17:12] Chronos: "I wonder... perhaps because Johansen threatened them"
[17:12] Jeice: That seems to be a somewhat common name.
[17:12] * Necro continues to observe, interested in the conversation
[17:12]
Chronos: "Said he would tear Horizon Chantry assunder if they
interfered... and somehow convinced Alexandria Smith to go along with
his hairbrained idea
[17:13] Falerin: "Ooh one of your own Oracles supports me"
[17:13] * Lkeas chuckles. "Ah, teamwork."
[17:13] Falerin: "How delightful. Well her husband and he are... friends"
[17:13] Falerin: "So... You are here to stop me then is it God of Time"
[17:13] * Daniel smiles, but doesn't say anything *
[17:13] * AlastorRyst smirks
[17:13] Chronos: "No"
[17:14]
Chronos: "Though rest assured you would be stopped had that been my
attention. My many analogs on other worlds that still have influence
would combine to stop you."
[17:14] Chronos: "I am after all ALL gods of time"
[17:14] Chronos: "But no...."
[17:14] Chronos: "Chronomancy has never been illegal... Or else it would just be impossible outright"
[17:15] Chronos: "However since you plan to alter the timeline of the entire omniverse"
[17:15] * Talo-Toecan tilts his head to one side, digesting such information.
[17:15] Chronos: "As you have been fated since before you were born"
[17:15] Chronos: "I figured I would supervise to make sure it was done correctly and with minimal damage"
[17:16] AlastorRyst: I don't believe in "fate."
[17:16] * Damsel brings a hand to cover her mouth, speechless.
[17:16] Falerin: "
[17:16] * LordBarrius raises an eyebrow. "So you intend to....supervise?"
[17:16] SplinterClaw: Don't tempt gods with such talk
[17:16] SplinterClaw: perhaps it is our fate to change time
[17:17] Jeice: Changing the entire Omniverse? Falerin, what are you planning to do?
[17:17] Chronos: "I will relay your disbelief to the Moriae myself... Alastor Ryst"
[17:17] *** SplinterClaw is now known as SC_Battleon.
[17:18] Chronos: "I am sure Clotho Lachesis and Atropos will be crushed by your disbelief"
[17:18] * Dale smiles again.
[17:18] AlastorRyst: ...
[17:18] AlastorRyst: Very well then.
[17:18] * Damsel 's eyes twinkle with amusement, as she continues to hide behind her hand, which now covers a wide smile.
[17:18] Falerin: "Are we prepared Falerin"
[17:18]
[17:19] Chronos: smiles
[17:19] * Falerin frowns
[17:19] Falerin: "I do that not you"
[17:19] Falerin: "Not on this world you do not"
[17:19] AlastorRyst: Nevertheless, I appreciate your decision.
[17:19] Falerin: "Damn it chronos stop it"
[17:19] Falerin: "Make me"
[17:19] Falerin: "By the planes I swear"
[17:19] * Damsel can't surpress a giggle though she tries mightily.
[17:20] Chronos: "Very well then"
[17:20] * AlastorRyst sighs
[17:20] Chronos: "Are you ready for your plan Ardendor"
[17:20] AlastorRyst: Can I get a portal back home?
[17:20] AlastorRyst: I need to check on some things, then I'll return.
[17:21] Chronos: "Which Home... Alastor"
[17:21] AlastorRyst: Vishna, the Nether Realm.
[17:21] Chronos: "I exist beyond time. what never was still is to me"
[17:21] Chronos: "I can send you to timelines which have been erased even...."
[17:22] AlastorRyst: No...
[17:22] AlastorRyst: I have to stop a war.
[17:22] * Falerin looks alarmed
[17:22] AlastorRyst: It will make me stronger in doing so.
[17:22] Falerin: "Do not...."
[17:22] AlastorRyst: Besides, you can't just move on and forget happenings, as if they never DID happen.
[17:22]
[17:22] AlastorRyst: It's unnatural.
[17:22] Falerin: "Recreation in that manner will just result in the Uncreation wave catching him too"
[17:22] Falerin: "And you know it"
[17:23] * Lkeas frowns. "worlds which no longer exist... possibilities that can no longer be touched..."
[17:23] AlastorRyst: ...What?
[17:23] Daniel: Chronos, does modifying an erased timeline have an effect on existing timelines?
[17:23] Falerin: "That time line is not.. it would be a fantasy. An ephemeral existance followed by destruction"
[17:23] * Talo-Toecan glances back at Falerin, then nods as actual comprehension begins to unfold in his ind.
[17:23] * Necro facinated with all of this, pays attention closely as not to miss anything
[17:23] Chronos: "That it would.. but if you wanted for instance... to...."
[17:23] * Chronos gestures
[17:24] * Damsel mutters softly, "Incredible."
[17:24] * FulcanRyst appears
[17:24] * Falerin frowns
[17:24] Falerin: "DO NOT!"
[17:24] * Lkeas 's eyes widen. "Fulcan!"
[17:24] * LordBarrius frowns. "Who is that?"
[17:24] Falerin: "What have you gone MAD?!"
[17:24] * AlastorRyst looks at Fulcan, "You look so familiar..."
[17:24] * Talo-Toecan growls low. "Fulcan Ryst..."
[17:24] AlastorRyst: You're me...
[17:24] AlastorRyst: What?
[17:24] Jeice: I get the feeling he acts as a siren...
[17:24] AlastorRyst: Ryst?
[17:24] AlastorRyst: Oh my god...
[17:24] Chronos: you try to know all timelines that were and are not and would have been and once were
[17:25] * Damsel glances between her companions, confused by the reactions.
[17:25] AlastorRyst: He IS me...
[17:25] Chronos: you try to see and know ALL times that might be yet and might never be
[17:25] * Lkeas looks at Talo-Toecan. "You remember too..."
[17:25] Chronos: You try FALERIN
[17:25] * LordBarrius looks at Lkeas and Talo with an expression of shock and confusion. "What? What's wrong?"
[17:25] Chronos: And then.. once you do...
[17:25] Chronos: Tell me about madness
[17:25]
[17:25] Chronos: Every time The'Galin acts... I FEEL IT in my being
[17:26] Lkeas: Even in your new form, your memory...
[17:26] Chronos: I feel the pain not only of the uncreated beings
[17:26] * AlastorRyst looks at Fulcan, still shocked
[17:26] Chronos: I feel the pain of the UNIVERSES themselves
[17:26] Chronos: I feel it all ARDENDOR
[17:26] * Necro looks at Fulcan, confused at why there is a big fuss being made
[17:26] * Talo-Toecan shakes his head at Lkeas. "Another time, Archivist."
[17:26] * Lkeas looks at Chronos in awe. "I cannot imagine..."
[17:26] Falerin: "But you cannot simply recreate entire timelines...."
[17:27] *** SC_Battleon has signed off IRC (Vanished: AQStats Web Client).
[17:27] Falerin: "You just make snatch things from that nether that never was.... half beings.. insane mutations"
[17:27] * Damsel watches Chronos with a bit of sympathy. "How horrible."
[17:27]
[19:32] * Dale shrugs. "So every time a
being is uncreated, you feel it? It must not be that bad, seeing as
[19:32] * Chronos gesures
[19:32] * Fulcan vanishes
