Marrin’s Assignment

From Caelwiki

[13:36] * Tirlerion (Falerin@GodOEvil.Caelestia.net) has joined #darkabode

[13:36] * Kiyodai looks digustedly at them. "Falerin intended for us to get through this by ourselves, to learn the value of unity: not to merely garner protection from someone else!"

[13:36] * Tirlerion reappears

[13:36] <Tirlerion> Did he?

[13:37] <Tirlerion> You would speak for the God of Evil would you

[13:37] <&Lkeas> That's what I want to know, Tirlerion..

[13:37] * &Marrin shakes his head

[13:37] <&Lkeas> I wasn't here when all of this took place...

[13:37] <+Brink> "Indeed."

[13:37] * +Cerbero walks down the stairs, seemingly more calm

[13:37] <Tirlerion> Seems to me that speaking for the God of Evil has gotten people into trouble in the first place

[13:37] * &Lkeas nods.

[13:37] <+Nick> Are we not unified when we all make the decision? last night was truly the most unified I have ever seen us act in the abode.

[13:37] <+Brink> "Are you asking for our Loyalty, or mere assisstance from you should we ask of our own will?"

[13:37] * Murray nods

[13:37] <Tirlerion> Here is the question I posed. One of pragmatism.

[13:37] <Kiyodai> "I would. Falerin has sheltered us all from harm! He has only done this so that we might realize the implications of division!"

[13:38] <Tirlerion> "Would Falerin wish you to accept the aid of an enemy and survive as a group"

[13:38] <Tirlerion> "Or would he prefer you struggle on your own even if doing so cost you some of your number"

[13:38] <&Marrin> "Which enemy?"

[13:38] <+Nick> And yet last night, none of us bickered, none of us argued, we faced the decision together. And we rose to the challenge, it was more unified then we had been in the last few months.

[13:38] <Tirlerion> "Which would actually be doing what Falerin wanted"

[13:39] <Kiyodai> "No. Falerin would wish us to struggle as a group. He would want us to face adversity, in the hopes that we might band together and conquer the obstacle: together."

[13:39] <Tirlerion> "He would...."

[13:39] <Tirlerion> "Would he"

[13:39] * &Lkeas tugs on a lock of hair as she considers. "A loss of any of our number would prove a greater loss, in his eyes. And mine.."

[13:39] * +Cerbero leans against a wall, fists tight and eyes closed.

[13:39] <Kiyodai> "And that was not unity: that was everyone agreeing that they should cover their butts so they would not come to harm."

[13:39] <Murray> I will go with whichever choice gives me the most pleasure. Ug!

[13:39] <+Brink> "Losing anyone of our own... would show as a loss to him..."

[13:39] * +Nick scoffs "You belittle what happened."

[13:39] <Tirlerion> "You really have no appreciation for the danger that the authorities of Fair Harbor represent.... Kiyodai

[13:39] <+Brink> "He'd be against death of any of us entirely..."

[13:40] <&Marrin> "Murray... Sinking troll. Keep that in mind."

[13:40] <+Selarep> "Falerin...is almost always wise in his judgements...However, I don't believe anyone is completely infallible, and his wish might not entirely represent ours..."

[13:40] <Tirlerion> "And I think it is perhaps time you learned"

[13:40] <Kiyodai> "And? So we follow the laws and survive as a group. We don't need magic in order to survive."

[13:40] <&Marrin> "Kiyodai. That was a threat if you didn't notice."

[13:40] <Tirlerion> "Don't you then?"

[13:40] * &Lkeas frowns. "That's not entirely true, Kiyodai.."

[13:40] <Tirlerion> "I wonder how Frogplushie might fare"

[13:40] <&Lkeas> Some seekers do depend on magic for their survival.

[13:41] <Tirlerion> "I might also point out that teleportation to and from this place counts as magic"

[13:41] <+Nick> Aye, or how I would...

[13:41] <+Brink> "How will we go from relam to realm, some of us thrive on magic, we use it everyday as if it's nothing."

[13:41] <&Lkeas> What about the terrace gate?

[13:41] <+Brink> "One foul up and we are subject to persecution and jailing."

[13:41] <Tirlerion> "It is part of the Abode"

[13:41] <Tirlerion> "It left with the Abode"

[13:41] <&Lkeas> I see...

[13:41] <Kiyodai> "Yes...by themselves. Do you not realize the concept of unity? It is to cover each other's weaknesses in a time of need....you're all too concerned with how YOU will fare..."

[13:41] <+Nick> Last night was not just some "saving our tails" and you should do well to remember it.

[13:41] <+Selarep> "The Terrace would be like a magical technology anyway."

[13:41] <+Selarep> (Terrace Gate*)

[13:42] <Tirlerion> "You seem to be missing the point let me make it for you"

[13:42] * Tirlerion gestures

[13:42] <Kiyodai> "Then why were we forced to ask for it INDIVIDUALLY? That is a selfish act, in my eyes, Nick."

[13:42] <Tirlerion> A man appears startled

[13:42] * +Cerbero loosens his hands and opens his eyes

[13:42] <+Cerbero> ((:P))

[13:42] <&Marrin> "Dissention and Schemes indeed..."

[13:42] <Man> what is this

[13:42] <&Lkeas> You cannot force unity, Kiyodai.

[13:42] <+Selarep> "Err...Hello?"

[13:42] <+Brink> "Kiyodai, I do not NEED magic, but I use it as if nothing should I foul up will you have NO remorse, should the plushie die or Nick fall ill without it, would you not think twice about having yourself covered?"

[13:42] <Tirlerion> "Cast a simple cantrip. Flame finger or die!"

[13:43] * &Durroth looks at the man

[13:43] <Man> "What No..."

[13:43] <&Durroth> Who are you?

[13:43] <+Nick> And yet did we all not Agree Individually? Unity Kiyodai.

[13:43] <Tirlerion> "Cast the cantrip or DIE!"

[13:43] <Man> "But the authorities..."

[13:43] * +Nick looks at the Man and Tirlerion.

[13:43] <Murray> Marrin... sinking trolls will bring all those around under... Ug! I side no reason siding with Tirlerion is to get me in trouble... Ug!

[13:43] <Tirlerion> It is them or me.

[13:43] <Tirlerion> And I will kill you.

[13:43] * &Lkeas looks between Tirlerion and the man with alarm.

[13:43] * +Brink turns to the conversation unraveling.

[13:44] * +Cerbero frowns very frownily, with extra frowning and just a hint of frownation

[13:44] <>Ambiance<> The man a wizard casts a spell and his finger glows slightly like a tiny candle

[13:44] * &Marrin shoots a glance at Lkeas urging her back

[13:44] <Kiyodai> "I remember nothing of my past. My life is utterly worthless....so no, I care little for my own saftey."

[13:44] <>Ambiance<> The man vanishes abruptly

[13:44] * +Nick looks shocked "Where did he go!?"

[13:44] * &Lkeas blinks. "They.. they took him that quickly?"

[13:44] <DisembodiedVoice> You have been found guilty of unauthorized magic use. You are sentenced to 35 years hard labor.

[13:44] <+Selarep> "Son of a..."

[13:45] <+Cerbero> ...bitch.

[13:45] <+Nick> ...35 for a candle trick?

[13:45] <Tirlerion> A cantrip

[13:45] <Tirlerion> Less then level ome

[13:45] <&Marrin> "Just imagine if you wished to teleport."

[13:45] * +Nick looks shocked.

[13:45] <Tirlerion> As I said yesterday... it is 25-35 years per level

[13:45] * &Lkeas turns back to Tirlerion. "So your assistance provides a sort of permit for magic use without imprisonment?"

[13:45] * Murray looks startled

[13:45] <Tirlerion> A teleport without error at level 9 which most of you use freely

[13:45] <Tirlerion> Why thats.... 225 years?

[13:46] <Tirlerion> "You will have to excuse me..."

[13:46] <+Selarep> "What the hells is the point of this law, anyway?"

[13:46] <&Marrin> "More.. it's combined with gate. Interplanar."

[13:46] <Tirlerion> "I have to.... exonerate that prisoner"

[13:46] <Kiyodai> "You all may do as you choose...you're right: I cannot force unity. I just hope......that we can eventually realize what it means to be unified."

[13:46] * Tirlerion vanishes

[13:46] * +Nick sighs "Wow...I am truly grateful of your presence now Tirlerion, without you we'd well...I don't really want to think about it"

[13:46] * &Lkeas smiles slightly. "I had hoped he would.."

[13:46] <&Marrin> "Kiyodai."

[13:47] <&Durroth> ... I dont want to know how he plans to exonerate him

[13:47] * Murray sees no more reason to side will tirlerlion.

[13:47] * Tirlerion reappears

[13:47] <Kiyodai> "What is it, Marrin?"

[13:47] <&Marrin> "YOu do know what that means, Durroth?"

[13:47] <&Lkeas> All taken care of?

[13:47] * Tirlerion stares at Durroth

[13:47] <Tirlerion> "I confessed to forcing him to use magic under duress"

[13:47] <&Durroth> ah

[13:47] <Tirlerion> "Of course I was in an unbreakable disguise at the time"

[13:47] <&Durroth> sorry I doubted you

[13:47] <Murray> I renounce the protection of tirlerlion! Ug!

[13:47] <Tirlerion> "And after my own sentencing vanished"

[13:48] <&Durroth> ... your an idiot murray

[13:48] <&Lkeas> Ah, that's quite tidy.

[13:48] * Tirlerion nods at Murray

[13:48] <Tirlerion> As you wish

[13:48] <Tirlerion> You no longer have my protection

[13:48] * +Nick looks at Murray "Wow...how you've just thrown away a gift..."

[13:48] * &Elenor looks down from the stairs.

[13:48] <&Lkeas> Tirlerion, I'd like to join the others in your care, actually..

[13:48] <Murray> I use no magic! Ug!

[13:48] * &Elenor walks downstairs.

[13:48] <Genoclysm> If my guess is correct, Kiyodai, TaloToecan is guaranteed the slammer due to his psionic nature. He needs the protection.

[13:49] <+Nick> The frog, me, talo, many of us here are magical beings by nature...

[13:49] <&Marrin> "Did you know, Murray, that you may also not teleport away?"

[13:49] <Tirlerion> Oh? And how do you think extraplanar travel is recognized Troll

[13:49] <&Elenor> And I have a hell of a lot of enchantments on me.

[13:49] <Tirlerion> Regardless of how it works?

[13:49] <Kiyodai> "I.....realize that. I just.....I have no memory of my home...and I thought I'd finally found one. Then this happens and....I'm sorry."

[13:49] <Tirlerion> It is converted downward into lowest terms

[13:49] <Murray> I walk... Ug!

[13:49] <&Lkeas> Considering I am already in your debt for my existence at all...

[13:49] <Kiyodai> ((It's))

[13:50] <&Marrin> "And as I had said yesterday, Tirlerion, I will happily be your agent. Place needed redecorating, anyway."

02: [13:50] * Lucas_Michaels (leekrs1@Caelestia-F407510F.unk.tds.net) Quit (Interred: )

[13:50] <Tirlerion> Was it mentioned to you Kiyodai by any chance that Falerin is now my direct superior within the Caelestian Pantehon

[13:50] <Tirlerion> That is right. I no longer anser to Therlion at all. In fact I outrank him by two full orders

[13:50] * Geno|college| is now known as Genoclysm

[13:50] <+Cerbero> Does that mean that you now have his former seat, Tirlerion?

[13:51] <Tirlerion> Therlion is a demipower. I am an intermediate power.

[13:51] <Murray> I live in a fair harbor inn! Ug! I do not 'teleport'...

[13:51] <Kiyodai> "I have little knowledge of the poltics of Cealestia......so that has little meaning to me."

[13:51] <+Beo> Cealstia?

[13:51] * &Lkeas blinks in surprise. "That's... a bit unexpected.. but why would you place yourself under his supervision, Tirlerion? Were you not seeking to replace him all together?"

[13:51] <Kiyodai> ((Caelestia))

[13:51] <Tirlerion> I agreed to put aside my challenege Lady Lkeas

[13:51] <+Cerbero> Forget what I said then, I heard wrong.

[13:51] * &Marrin chuckles "You are from Lore, Murray."

[13:51] <Tirlerion> And he found a Portfolio from me

[13:51] * Tirlerion looks at Murray.

[13:52] <Tirlerion> "You seem oddly active on the world of your Origin to have never left this plane in recent memory"

[13:52] * &Randal leans up from the couch, book over his face, then leans back down, shaking his head

[13:52] * &Lkeas scratches her head. "Your motives ever elude me... but I suppose congratulations are in order."

[13:52] <Tirlerion> "None the less suit yourself. Do not leave. Do what you will"

[13:53] <&Elenor> Tirlerion.. What else is included in the protection, aside from magic?

[13:53] <Tirlerion> "The Portfolio I was granted is new. It was carved from Falerin's Own as an office under his direct agency"

[13:53] * +Brink sighs and steps forward from his place on the wall "I ask protection, Tirlerion."

[13:53] <Tirlerion> "Namely Dissention and Schemes"

[13:53] <Kiyodai> "Tirlerion, while I apologize for my ignorance of your status, I do not ask for your protection....I believe Falerin had a motive in rescinding his."

[13:53] * &Lkeas chuckles. "Schemes involving bakeries included, no doubt.."

[13:53] <&Marrin> "Suit yourself then Kiyodai."

[13:53] <Tirlerion> "Since that clearly falls under the perogative of Evil in a general... I answer to him"

[13:53] <Murray> I shall stay. Ug! I shall resist! Ug! No matter the cost! Ug!

[13:54] <&Marrin> "You will not be protected from any agents."

[13:54] * +Nick looks at Kiyodai and grimaces "Good luck to you..."

[13:54] <Tirlerion> "Since there is no intervening level I could have been up to a greater power... but my portfolio is considered more ancillary and so I am intermediate"

[13:54] * &Marrin chuckles at murray

[13:54] * Murray salutes the war god

[13:54] <Tirlerion> "But I can and have taken ancillary deities under my own wing as demipowers

[13:54] <Kiyodai> "And? I would hope that I would recieve aid from my friends....but if I do die...well, my life has little meaning to my anyway."

[13:54] * &Elenor sighs.

[13:54] <Tirlerion> "I had to get clearance... for the most recent one..."

[13:55] <Kiyodai> ((me))

[13:55] <Tirlerion> "Given the nature of what it represents but... it is accepted"

[13:55] * Tirlerion looks at Marrin

[13:55] <&Lkeas> Marrin, you mean?

[13:55] <&Marrin> "Who is it, Tirlerion?"

[13:55] <Tirlerion> "You have been assigned "forbidden" magic"

[13:55] * &Elenor raises an eyebrow.

[13:55] <&Marrin> "Oh? Sounds ... interesting."

[13:55] <&Elenor> Forbidden magic?

[13:55] <+Nick> Forbidden?

[13:55] <Tirlerion> "That places you directly under me but indirectly under the god of Magic"

[13:55] <Tirlerion> "Of course"

[13:56] <Tirlerion> "He is an AuraMancer"

[13:56] <&Marrin> "Which one's the god of magic again?"

[13:56] <Tirlerion> "and that is forbidden"

[13:56] <&Elenor> As I thought...

[13:56] <&Lkeas> Aslyn, I think..

[13:56] <Tirlerion> "Aslyn aye"

[13:56] <&Elenor> ... Ugh, that was so my fault for screwing up.

[13:56] <+Brink> "Gods under wings, eh?"

[13:56] * &Marrin ruffles his wings "Worst pun of the day..."

[13:56] <Tirlerion> "Now then... Forbidden Magic carries all sorts of fascinating dark arts too"

[13:56] <+Brink> "Sounds like you've become giving."

[13:56] <Tirlerion> "Naturally you can grant your clerics immunity for the farpoint prescription against auramancy"

[13:57] <+Nick> Wow...

[13:57] <&Elenor> Ohh?

[13:57] <Tirlerion> "Or at least lessened effect"

[13:57] <&Elenor> So he can let people use aura here?

[13:57] <&Elenor> Not that I should be interested, considering how badly I fucked that up.

[13:57] <&Marrin> "Most excellent. Should I be contacting Aslyn, or where may i find out the rest of the details?"

[13:57] <Tirlerion> "Gods typically can typically weave pathways arround things"

[13:57] <Tirlerion> "You could try finding him... But I sure you will define your own position in time"

[13:58] <Tirlerion> "Self Definition is the most important type of defintion in the long run"

[13:58] * Tirlerion looks at Kiyodai

[13:58] <Tirlerion> "You are absolutely and unquestionably correct"

[13:58] <Tirlerion> "Falerin has a purpose"

[13:58] <&Marrin> "Always is." *gives a grin*

[13:58] <Tirlerion> "I think however you miss aprehend what that is"

[13:58] <&Lkeas> Will the Loremaster be staying away from us for a while? From what I gather he's rather pissed..

[13:59] <&Elenor> Well, that's good to hear.

[13:59] <Tirlerion> "Should you not find it funny. That those who know him best all have acted so unilaterally"

[13:59] * &Elenor was referring to Marrin's aura hax.

[13:59] <Kiyodai> "I-I suppose..."

[13:59] <Tirlerion> There are other laws that apply as well Troll. I only hope you do not come to regret your recalicitrance.

[14:00] <Tirlerion> "I force myself on none. However I am less forgiving then my predecessor in this role."

[14:00] <Tirlerion> "Never forget. I am NOT falerin."

[14:00] * Tirlerion vanishes

[14:00] * Tirlerion (Falerin@GodOEvil.Caelestia.net) has left #darkabode

[14:00] <&Elenor> That was somewhat of an omninous exit.

[14:00] <+Nick> But not undeserved.

[14:] <&Lkeas> I wonder about him sometimes...

[14:] <Kiyodai> "That those who know him best....have all acted so unilaterally?"

[14:] <&Durroth> well then, congratulations Marrin

[14:] * Kiyodai appears to be muttering to himself.

[14:] * &Lkeas nods to Kiyodai. "I believe we have all so far chosen the same.."

[14:] <+Selarep> "Hmm...I require a refresher. What is Lady Nyx the goddess of?"

[14:] * &Elenor looks at Marrin. "So you've can use aura again here? That's great."

[14:02] <&Marrin> "Oh.. and so much more, elenor..."

[14:02] * +Nick smiles "Wonderful!"

[14:02] <+Brink> "He has his poers as a god here, if I am nto misusing th term agent within my head."

[14:02] <&Elenor> So you get clerics and stuff now?

[14:02] <+Brink> "Am i right Marrin?"

[14:02] <&Lkeas> The Lady Nyx is involved with dreams.

[14:02] <Kiyodai> "I..I just don't know what to do anymore...I guess...I'll just go and train."

[14:02] <+Selarep> "Ah. Makes sense."

[14:02] <>Ambiance<> Mariel appears

[14:02] * Kiyodai walks off to the training room, looking confused.

[14:02] * +Cerbero raises an eyebrow

[14:02] <&Elenor> Kiyo... stop

[14:] <+Nick> Mariel?

[14:] <&Elenor> You're going to train teleporting?

[14:] <Kiyodai> "No."

[14:] <+Brink> Good day, Mariel.

[14:] <Mariel> "What did you want....Tirlerion?"

[14:] <&Elenor> Then what?

[14:] * +Selarep nods to Mariel.

[14:] <&Lkeas> Greetings, Mariel. Tirlerion called you?

[14:] <Mariel> "Tirlerion summoned me here. Did he have some purpose?"

[14:] <&Elenor> Oh, heay Mariel.

[14:] <&Lkeas> I.. I'm not sure.

[14:] <&Elenor> ((*hey))

[14:] <&Marrin> "He just left. May any of us help you?"

[14:] <&Durroth> Good Evening to you Mariel

[14:] * +Selarep glances at Tirlerion.

[14:] <&Durroth> how are you today

[14:] <&Elenor> ((Tirlerion isn't here))

[14:] <+Dale> "Would I be under Mariel's protection, or Tirlerion's. Confusing."

[14:] * +Cerbero sighs

[14:] <Kiyodai> "I'm well aware of the possible outcomes...I suppose I'll just practice moving around with my weighted cloak."

[14:] <+Selarep> (Whoops)

[14:04] <Mariel> "Under my protection? I should think not"

[14:04] <+Dale> Well, that solves that one then.

[14:04] <Mariel> "I will not act against a directive issued by a farpoint God even though it was not issued toward me"

[14:04] * &Lkeas looks at Dale. "Ah, you are his cleric, or something of the sort, yes?"

[14:05] * Kiyodai walks to the training room.

[14:05] <+Dale> I guess so, yeah. And Mariel, I understand.

[14:05] <Mariel> "I will continue to function as a source of your magical ability...."

[14:05] <Mariel> "But directed protection shall not be forthcoming"

[14:05] * +Dale nods.

[14:] <Mariel> "What in the world did Tirlerion want of me... He said something about verification"

[14:] <Mariel> "But now he is gone"

[14:] <&Marrin> "Verification? Of what?"

[14:] * &Marrin rises, brushing himself off

[14:] <&Durroth> I havent the faintest

02: [14:] * +Dale (dale@Operator.Caelestia.net) Quit (Drowned: Rebooting, brb.)

[14:] <&Lkeas> Verification of... who has accepted his protection, perhaps? I can't say I quite understand either.

[14:] <Mariel> "I could hardly know lord of Forbidden Magics"

[14:] <&Marrin> "Ah... I believe that would be me."

[14:] <Mariel> "He is your superior, you would know better then me"

[14:07] <&Marrin> "Ah.. hmm."

[14:07] * &Lkeas chuckles. "Don't let it get to your head, Marrin."

[14:07] <&Durroth> congratulations Marrin, you already have a shiney new title

[14:07] <&Marrin> "He did not mention anything.."

[14:07] <Mariel> "His sought verification... could mean anything.

[14:07] <&Marrin> "It isn't shiny, but it is always wise to show respect to those who deserve it."

[14:07] <Mariel> "Well... I suppose I shall chalk this up to another odditiy on the part of the God of Schemes and move on"

[14:07] <&Lkeas> It seems a bit early for final decisions, I believe a few seekers are still wrestling over whether they want to accept his protection.

[14:08] <&Marrin> "It is possible. Though he, no doubt, had a reason."

[14:08] * &Durroth changes his hair color to dark green as he puts it into a braid for some reason

[14:08] * Mariel nods

[14:08] <&Lkeas> Perhaps you're supposed to verify Marrin's appointment?

[14:08] <&Marrin> "He's very confusing. Possibly as much as Falerin."

[14:08] * &Lkeas shrugs helplessly.

[14:08] <Mariel> "Well he falls under Falerin's domain. If he needs farpoint verification again recommend he consult his own superior"

[14:08] * Mariel vanishes

[14:08] <+Nick> Why would it be too soon. This is Tirlerion we're talking about here.

[14:09] * Kiyodai walks out of the training room, and heads outside, muttering. "Going to the beach.....and I'm going to find some rocks to lift."

[14:09] <&Marrin> "Do be careful."
