The Epic - Session VI
From Caelwiki
[15:16] Falerin: <NIGHT FALL DAY 5>
[15:16] >Ambiance<: Running through a forest.
[15:16] >Ambiance<: You come upon him standing there and he seems trully suprised by your presence.
[15:17] Voice: "Well I suppose expecting immunity for long was a foolish endeavor. I should welcome it given my recent mood...."
[15:18] >Ambiance<: You grab him by the throat and reaching into his mouth pull out his tounge ripping it from the jaw
[15:19] >Ambiance<: With a single claw you pry each of his eyes from his head and peeling them like grapes pop them whole into your hungry mouth
[15:20] >Ambiance<: Then standing over his still living body you reach a paw into his chest ripping free his heart which you stuff into his mouth
[15:20] >Ambiance<: finally you use the pooling blood in his chest cavity to paint a message on the wall
[15:21] >Ambiance<: you awake with the copper taste of his blood still fresh in you mouth and your hands still covered in the gore. You do not hunger for breakfast. His tounge was surprisingly filling.
[15:22] >Ambiance<: <BEGIN DAY 6: The Number of the Day is 7>
[15:22] * Randal_Moonash yawns, and rolls off the couch, banging his head on the cofee table
[15:22] *** Reven has joined #EPIC.
[15:23] *** Mode change "+v Reven" for channel #EPIC by Falerin.
[15:23] * Lkeas blinks as the grey light penetrates her tiny room
[15:23] Randal_Moonash: Ow! sodding hellfire...
[15:23] * Gene_Clatic awakens, but is reluctant to get up.
[15:24] * Lkeas sighs as she looks out the window and spies the forest she thought she had escaped
[15:24] * Hadin awakens as his hands, having been the pillow his head was perched on, slip off of the head of his precariously balanced cane. With a hard crack, his head hits the floor, causing him to splutter nonsensical curses through the odd coppery taste dominating his mouth.
[15:24] * Reven awakens slowly.
[15:24] * Randal_Moonash clutches his head and tries to find the bathroom to wash up
[15:24] Randal_Moonash: where... the hell... are we?
[15:24] *** xaxtoo has joined #EPIC.
[15:25] *** Mode change "+v xaxtoo" for channel #EPIC by Falerin.
[15:25] * Blueman sits up and looks around cautiously...
[15:25] * Avarie groans softly, and rolls over to check the time. She sits up suddenly when she realizes that this isn't her apartment bedroom.
[15:25] Gene_Clatic: Immertot. What nightmares shall befall us this time, other than that dream...
[15:25] * Lkeas plods down the stairs
[15:25] * Leo wakes up and looks around the room.
[15:25] * Randal_Moonash clumsily opens his door and staggers out.
[15:25] * Gene_Clatic arises, and heads downstairs.
[15:25] >Ambiance<: VII V V is painted on the far inn wall in bright Crimson
[15:25] * Rimblade yawns and lifts his head off the floor.... just in time to bang it into a bedpost. "Ow! Was I sleeping under the bed... again?"
[15:25] Blueman: "What the"
[15:26] Lkeas: the dreams... they still persist
[15:26] * Avarie hearing the noise of footsteps outside, she peeks out her door, trying to get her bearings.
[15:26] Randal_Moonash: What in the bloody hell?
[15:26] * Leo follows the people walking downstairs.
[15:26] * Lkeas walks over to the cryptic numbers
[15:26] Randal_Moonash: Seriously... bloody.
[15:26] Lkeas: 755...
[15:26] Randal_Moonash: Frickin roman numerals...
[15:26] >Ambiance<: a pool of blood comes from behind the bar
[15:26] Blueman: Where am... what... uh......
[15:26] * Randal_Moonash looks over the bar carefully
[15:26] * Hadin drags himself back up into a sitting position, resting his back against the bed he couldn't sleep in after years of sleeping in his workshop. "What by the eight lords...oh...right..." His beginnings of outrage flutter still as he remembers the day before. Grabbing his 'laptop', he hobbles out of the room slowly.
[15:26] * Rimblade staggers down the stairs, clutching his throbbing head, and stares at the revealed scene.
[15:26] Gene_Clatic: Hm, that number seems farely common. Hm?
[15:26] * Falerin lies dead
[15:27] * Randal_Moonash lets out a low whistle....
[15:27] Lkeas: oh good god...
[15:27] Rimblade: "M-m-MURDER!?!"
[15:27] Leo: Well, that's rather disturbing.
[15:27] Randal_Moonash: "You expected anything less?"
[15:27] * Lkeas rushes over to Falerin
[15:27] * Reven stands up, finally fully awake, and hears a commotion downstairs, and a shout of "Murder".
[15:27] * Reven hurries down.
[15:27] Randal_Moonash: "Each time we arrive, the traveller says... one of US will die.
[15:27] Lkeas: i thought he said he couldn't die!
[15:27] *** Kraken has joined #EPIC.
[15:27] * Blueman after looking around the small room, heads downstairs to see a group of people crowded around something...
[15:27] * Avarie rushes downstairs at at the commotion.
[15:27] Randal_Moonash: "He never excluded himself... evidently the God of evil was not protecting him..."
[15:27] Gene_Clatic: Interesting. i wonder if his god will pop up soon.
[15:27] *** Kraken is now known as Wes.
[15:27] Randal_Moonash: "hence the dream... that was his voice."
[15:28] Hadin: "Now this is quite disturbing, lad...but what of, hmm. Did anyone else dream strangely?"
[15:28] Reven: Hmm? What is going on?
[15:28] Shock: again..
[15:28] * Blueman heads over to the group and sees the body
[15:28] Shock: at least i am home for it.
[15:28] Gene_Clatic: Hadin, all have the dreams I'm afraid.
[15:28] Rimblade: "What are you all babbling about!  This man is dead! He was murdered! We have to tell someone!"
[15:28] Randal_Moonash: "Tell who?"
[15:28] * Avarie takes in the scene and turns quite pale.
[15:28] Shock: Like?
[15:28] Randal_Moonash: "Complain to who.
[15:28] Lkeas: who praytell do you intend to tell? the undead? the forest?
[15:28] Randal_Moonash: "there is a beast among us and now the traveller lies dead"
[15:28] Gene_Clatic: Sir, it isn't something we can help.
[15:29] Hadin: "Most disturbing, I suppose...is there a wash basin somewhere around here, by chance?"
[15:29] Shock: The forest allways listens if you want to talk to it.
[15:29] Rimblade: "I think I'm going to be sick..."
[15:29] Reven: ...ah.
[15:29] Randal_Moonash: "Unless someone happens to be an all powerful cleric.. and even so.. a fool could see his soul has left his body..."
[15:29] Lkeas: not the traveller... but his other avatar..
[15:29] * Blueman turns to the person standing to his left
[15:29] Reven: Falerin... or rather, his avatar... is dead.
[15:29] Blueman: What is...
[15:29] Blueman: Is this all some sort of trick
[15:29] Randal_Moonash: The one known as the traveller right?
[15:29] Lkeas: i wonder, can an avatar of the god of evil become undead in immertot?
[15:29] Randal_Moonash: "No.. wait.."
[15:29] Rimblade: "You know this man? Oh gods... this is brutal..."
[15:29] *** Ellopez159 has joined #EPIC.
[15:29] Reven: It looks more like the avatar we were travelling with...
[15:30] Randal_Moonash: "Lkeas.. youre the one who understands this, which avatar was this?"
[15:30] Reven: The one that wished for death.
[15:30] Shock: What?
[15:30] Reven: Well, seems they got it, hehe.
[15:30] Randal_Moonash: "I know that much.."
[15:30] Lkeas: The Traveller walked off with Galrick back in Manhattan...
[15:30] Gene_Clatic: Lkeas, he said he couldn't.
[15:30] Shock: He is the dead man?
[15:30] Reven: Hmm.
[15:30] Reven: 755.
[15:30] * Blueman shouts "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!!"
[15:30] Randal_Moonash: "Reven, next time I'm leaving you unconcious..."
[15:30] Reven: I wonder what it means.
[15:30] * Hadin dries his hands on a corner of his robes before hobbling over to Randal, tapping him lightly with his cane and whispering to him. "Lad, we all seem to have blood on our hands...mind explaining that one to me?"
[15:30] * Avarie jumps at the sudden outburst.
[15:30] Lkeas: this Falerin, he was the deity's avatar here in Immertot
[15:30] Leo: Would you mind telling me whats going on and where is my current location?
[15:30] Reven: Maybe you are all murderers.
[15:30] Randal_Moonash: "Magic dreams, a beast among us, and one man dead. Any questions?"
[15:30] Lkeas: his family was brutally murdered
[15:30] Reven: And someone is messing with your mind... this beast perhaps.
[15:30] Leo: Falerin? The god of Evil, right?
[15:31] Randal_Moonash: "No.. this was one of his avatars.."
[15:31] Lkeas: yes, Falerin, the god of Evil, created this Falerin you see before him, to be his eyes in Immertot
[15:31] Lkeas: *before you
[15:31] * Randal_Moonash reaches in his coat and pulls out the laptop...
[15:31] Shock: Thats his body right over there you mean?
[15:31] * Rimblade shakes his head
[15:31] Randal_Moonash: "Falerin, the god, said this was a portal to his knowledge...
[15:31] Leo: So this is Immerot, but I thought this was all fiction...
[15:31] Randal_Moonash: "So did I"
[15:32] Reven: A fiction?
[15:32] Lkeas: welcome to your worst nightmare, Leo...
[15:32] * Blueman trembles, and sits down in a nearby chair
[15:32] Reven: Strange one would hear of it at all, without realising it was real.
[15:32] Reven: Perhaps you WISHED it was.
[15:32] * Lkeas looks around the room
[15:32] Randal_Moonash: "Evidently a Falerin has died. If the god does not already know, we should tell one of his counterparts...
[15:32] Lkeas: where's Caliban? he will wish to know what happened to his friend...
[15:32] Reven: Heh.
[15:33] Reven: I'm guessing our favourite god of evil probably knows.
[15:33] Reven: Or not, heh.
[15:33] Leo: How did you know my name, who are you?
[15:33] Rimblade: "You know the God of Evil?"
[15:33] * Hadin harumphs mightily as Randal seems to ignore him, then hobbles over to the bar and pulls out his own laptop and sets it upon the counter, whereupon he resumes his examination of the artefact.
[15:33] Randal_Moonash: "yes. we do."
[15:33] * Blueman , composing himself, gets up and goes to ask about what is going on
[15:33] Lkeas: i... you look like an analog i know... from another realm
[15:33] Lkeas: his name is Leo
[15:33] Shock: But he normaly comes back..
[15:34] * Randal_Moonash had already answered hadin and looks at his own laptop, putting it away
[15:34] Gene_Clatic: This is... frightening.
[15:34] Shock: This place is not a homey with no free beer.
[15:34] Leo: Probably just a coincidence, my dear.
[15:34] * Lkeas reaches around the back of the bar, trying not to smear herself with blood
[15:34] Reven: An analog?
[15:34] Reven: As opposed to a digital?
[15:34] * Lkeas pulls out a dusty bottle of green glowing liquor
[15:34] Gene_Clatic: An analog is an alternate you.
[15:34] Lkeas: heh. still here.
[15:34] * Randal_Moonash sighs
[15:35] Reven: Ab]
[15:35] Reven: Ah.
[15:35] >Ambiance<: reality shimmers breifly
[15:35] * Lkeas uncorks the bottle and offers it to Shock
[15:35] * Blueman walks to the person at the counter who is using a laptop
[15:35] Rimblade: "That was odd!"
[15:35] * Hadin quickly turns his 'laptop' back on, then blinks as everything seems to shimmer.
[15:35] Randal_Moonash: "it happens."
[15:35] * Wes appears on top of falerin's corpse and is quickly drenched in blood
[15:35] * Shock thanks Lkeas and takes it.
[15:35] * Randal_Moonash sighs looking about.
[15:35] *** Mode change "+v Wes" for channel #EPIC by Falerin.
[15:36] Reven: You encounter alternate versions of yourself regularly?
[15:36] * Blueman gestures to the dead man, "Do you know who that is?"
[15:36] Reven: Something is being most... unusual.
[15:36] * Lkeas looks towards the newcomer
[15:36] Gene_Clatic: Ah, a new arrival.
[15:36] Reven: Then again all the barriers do seem to be all over the place here.
[15:36] Lkeas: welcome, traveller, to the inn at Immertot
[15:36] Rimblade: "Well, if he was murdered by a... beast? I expect we'll all die violently in the night."
[15:36] * Avarie clasps her hands in front of her, trying to still their shaking. Addressing the room in general she asks, a slight tremor in her voice, "Please, where are we? What's going on?"
[15:36] Hadin: "Hmph, another one? Well, new lad, I hope you weren't plucked so violently as you arrived."
[15:36] Gene_Clatic: Do i know you?
[15:36] Randal_Moonash: "Were on Immertot, apparently. Welcome to hell.
[15:36] * Lkeas walks over to Avarie and places a hand on her shoulder
[15:37] Blueman: Well then
[15:37] Leo: Sorry to disturbe our current conversation, but would you mind introducing yourselves?
[15:37] Shock: Hell? i Rather like it here other then to death.
[15:37] Blueman: Immertot... I've heard stories
[15:37] Reven: Hell?
[15:37] Lkeas: i am sorry you were brought here... it is not a nice place to be
[15:37] Gene_Clatic: Ah, you are Wes! Haven't seen you in a while.
[15:37] Reven: This isn't hell...
[15:37] * Hadin returns regarding the laptop for a moment, pleased to see the colourful display boot back up from yesterday. Desiring further explanation of what it actually does, he gestures to Randal. "Sonny boy, come over here a sec."
[15:37] Reven: Well, perhaps it is for some.
[15:37] * Randal_Moonash heads over
[15:37] Wes: "how did i end back here?"
[15:38] Randal_Moonash: "I aint a sonny boy... I'm older than you, gramps"
[15:38] Randal_Moonash: "er... technically
[15:38] Reven: Hmm?
[15:38] Lkeas: i wonder if the undead will come at noon today
[15:38] * Reven wanders over to Hadin.
[15:38] Rimblade: "You're all talking nonsense. If this is another world, how did I get here?"
[15:38] * Leo sits down on the nearest chair.
[15:38] * Hadin glares at Randal with a very disbelieving gaze. "Regardless...ye have one of these, so how does it work exactly?"
[15:38] Gene_Clatic: The events this morning are particularly frightening.
[15:39] Shock: Proboly Lkeas, the allmost allways do.
[15:39] * Wes notices the body and jumps off
[15:39] Randal_Moonash: "weve already done that. Er.. you turn it on with the power button. The keys use electric signals through capacators, and the programming is in a binary code, series of ones and zeros interpreted by the computer itself"
[15:39] Reven: Heh.
[15:39] Randal_Moonash: "In any case, you turn it on, and it takes imput
[15:39] * Blueman heads back over to the group
[15:39] Randal_Moonash: "Depending on the program, interface, and so forth, it does different things.."
[15:40] * Reven turns away again, looking over at Wes leaping off the body, muttering "Electronics. More chaos than I could ever wreak is done by them."
[15:40] Gene_Clatic: Lkeas, may I speak with you a moment. Something is troubling me, and I need to hear from someone honest.
[15:40] * Lkeas looks at Moonash
[15:40] Avarie: You all seem accustomed to this... Last I really remember was leaving the bookstore through a rather unconventional exit. Do you find this happens quite frequently?
[15:40] Lkeas: will the laptops work here, though, i wonder?
[15:40] Wes: "ive been brought back here some how great"
[15:40] Shock: You turning it on and teleporting us away again?
[15:40] Lkeas: alright Gene
[15:40] * Shock frowns and falls to a chair
[15:40] * Lkeas walks over to a corner of the room with Gene_Clatic
[15:40] Reven: Well, in my life, Avarie...
[15:41] Reven: It's always been common... but now it seems to be happening for everyone else as well, and not of my causing.
[15:41] Reven: So something is going on...
[15:41] Randal_Moonash: "they work.. Mine does then again, its not exactly normal.."
[15:41] Hadin: "I...see... Now to figure out why I was given this artefact, I suppose. Yet I have time, probably. Unless you notice anything of use upon it?" He gestures again to the colourful display, having already turned it on once.
[15:41] * Wes walks around "man one minute walking out of the bathroom the next falling onto a body"
[15:42] * Gene_Clatic whispers "I think the dreams aren't the only things that repeat every night. What is the last thing that goes through your mind, before you drift to sleep?"
[15:42] Randal_Moonash: "It looks like an ordinary windows computer, bloody hell if i know what mine is..."
[15:42] Randal_Moonash: "Scoot over... lemme see"
[15:43] * Hadin harumphs particularly so at the word 'ordinary', but moves aside with a hobbling side-step.
[15:43] Lkeas: i'm not sure i understand..
[15:43] * Leo looks directly at Lkeas.
[15:43] * Wes sits by Lkeas "i remember you"
[15:43] Leo: You seem very familiar, but you can't be...
[15:43] Leo: forget what I just said...
[15:43] * Randal_Moonash stands in front of hadins computer, looking at the screen
[15:44] Gene_Clatic: Lkeas, a few of my thoughts repeat nightly when here. Is it the same with you?
[15:44] Lkeas: a few, perhaps
[15:44] Lkeas: but are the thoughts our own, i wonder?
[15:44] Gene_Clatic: What is it that you think?
[15:45] Lkeas: i am not sure...
[15:45] * Hadin waits patiently, watching Randal almost as closely as he is watching the laptop itself, gleaning any information he can in case he tinkers further at a later time.
[15:45] Lkeas: we will have to be watchful from now on
[15:45] Wes: "well would anyone explain to me how i got back here?"
[15:45] * Avarie scrubs her hands against her jeans and begins to search the bar for something to take the horrible copper taste out of her mouth.
[15:46] * Rimblade continues to rub his temples
[15:46] >Ambiance<: Hadin's computer is rather normal and mundane thinkpad
[15:46] >Ambiance<: Its battery life is less then 10 min remaining
[15:46] Randal_Moonash: This won't last long...
[15:46] * Lkeas walks over to Hadin
[15:46] Gene_Clatic: You said a few thoughts repeat in the night. Please Lkeas, I must know! I have to know if... if...
[15:46] * Randal_Moonash clicks the start button and programs to see if theres anything unusual at all
[15:46] Lkeas: i don't think you'll be finding a charger around here..
[15:47] * Gene_Clatic cringes.
[15:47] * Lkeas turns to Gene
[15:47] Randal_Moonash: "nor do I"
[15:47] Hadin: "Last long? It has a life to it then...like magic that fades perhaps?"
[15:47] Lkeas: if i knew, i'd be able to do something about it..
[15:47] Randal_Moonash: "well it plugs into electricity"
[15:47] *** Ellopez159 has left #EPIC.
[15:47] Lkeas: the beast... who controlled the beast?
[15:47] Randal_Moonash: "we dont knwo that yet Lkeas.."
[15:47] Lkeas: or who did the beast control?
[15:48] Lkeas: ...
[15:48] * Reven breaks from merely watching the rather disorderly group and moves over to Hadin.
[15:48] Gene_Clatic: Alright. I'm fearful. That is why i want to know. If the thoughts hold relevence.
[15:48] Reven: Hmm... interesting. You do not in fact understand this device?
[15:48] Falerin: Internet
[15:48] Falerin: Outlook
[15:48] Falerin: Spider Solitare
[15:48] Falerin: -----------------
[15:48] Falerin: World of Warcraft
[15:48] Falerin: Microsoft Office Word 2008
[15:48] Randal_Moonash: "someones been playing Wow... and 2008? is that even out yet.. I didnt know it was a version..
[15:48] Rimblade: "Ah well. If we're all going to be murdered horribly in the night, I suppose I might as well enjoy it. Anything to do hereabouts?"
[15:48] *** RoD[MidtermCrusades] has joined #EPIC.
[15:49] * Randal_Moonash selects recent documents
[15:49] *** Mode change "+v RoD[MidtermCrusades]" for channel #EPIC by Falerin.
[15:49] *** Hadin has signed off IRC (Killed (Falerin (ghost))).
[15:49] Lkeas: i am afraid too, Gene
[15:49] *** RoD[MidtermCrusades] is now known as Hadin.
[15:49] Gene_Clatic: Hm, a Word 2008? See if it has any documents.
[15:49] Randal_Moonash: "thats what I'm doing.."
[15:49] * Blueman walks over to the group around the computer
[15:49] * Wes looks at Lkeas "how did i get back here?"
[15:49] * Avarie leans across the bar in order to peek at the laptop screen.
[15:50] Lkeas: Wes... i wish i could say
[15:50] * Reven glances at it.
[15:50] Lkeas: it seems the very universe has plans for us
[15:50] Reven: Impressive.
[15:50] Reven: Very very impressive.
[15:50] Lkeas: i thought that Falerin had something to do with my arrival in Manhattan
[15:50] Lkeas: but he denied it
[15:50] Wes: "how did you know my name you have never talked to me"
[15:50] Reven: I've tried, of course, but never succeeded.
[15:50] Reven: But this is proof... time ITSELF is part of this Chaos.
[15:50] Shock: Heh
[15:50] Reven: Or, some world with a different dating system...
[15:50] Gene_Clatic: Lkeas, I must tell you, I don't think my fears are the same as yours.
[15:51] Shock: Time is nothing but a mesurement.
[15:51] Avarie: A different dating system that while in the thousands is only 2 years different? Highly inprobable.
[15:51] Reven: Under some theories, Shock.
[15:51] Rimblade: "Time, you understand, means nothing outside of a single energy level."
[15:51] * Hadin blinks at the mention of Time. "Well, lad, chaotic or not, no man has enough time to do what they wish. Aye?"
[15:51] Lkeas: hmm... where DID i get your name? must've been my muse..
[15:51] Lkeas: you look very familiar though
[15:51] * Randal_Moonash falls over
[15:52] * Randal_Moonash goes thud
[15:52] >Ambiance<: Randal_Moonash vanishes
[15:52] Wes: "i dont know"
[15:52] *** Randal_Moonash has left #EPIC.
[15:52] Blueman: What the
[15:52] * Rimblade stares
[15:52] Wes: "What the?"
[15:52] Gene_Clatic: oh dear.
[15:52] * Leo curiously looks at Lkeas.
[15:52] Reven: He's gone?
[15:52] Shock: Where did..
[15:52] Lkeas: at least he didn't land in the puddle of blood..
[15:52] Gene_Clatic: Where's the laptop?
[15:52] Leo: You seem to know our names, but we never introduced ourselves.
[15:52] Shock: No...
[15:52] * Reven glances around where he was to check for the laptop.
[15:52] * Blueman passes his hand through the place where the man used to be
[15:52] * Hadin blinks worriedly. "Now that is an inconvenience...oh, and Reven was it? No, I do not know how this artefact works."
[15:52] Lkeas: i'll confess... in another realm, i am an archivist
[15:53] Lkeas: i have read much about many of you
[15:53] Wes: "archiv what ist?"
[15:53] Reven: How interesting... yet you do appear to be some kind of a magic user?
[15:53] Shock: Is the laptop still there? If not for the security on it i could proboly use it i have watched him use it alot.
[15:53] Reven: Not a frequent traveller of the 'verses?
[15:53] Lkeas: magic? oh no, i don't believe i possess any gifts
[15:53] Lkeas: i merely collect information
[15:53] * Leo shakes his head. "No, that's just not possible. This has to be a dream".
[15:53] * Reven is addressing Hadin.
[15:53] Rimblade: "What's all this talk, now?"
[15:54] Shock: Everyone does where i am from. Just very small magic.
[15:54] Gene_Clatic: Heh, I've traveled just a bit. Most places you don't know of though, so there is no point in me telling their names.
[15:54] Shock: Small to the point of nothing
[15:54] * Hadin grabs *his* laptop from where it remained on the counter, then gestures Gene over as well. "Ye knew what he was up to, hurry and look right quick before it dies." Turning back to Reven, he adds, "Artificer by trade, actually."
[15:54] Lkeas: where IS Caliban? he runs the bloody in for Eldron's sake
[15:54] Reven: Ah.
[15:54] Lkeas: *inn
[15:54] Reven: Well... assuming you mean what I think you mean...
[15:54] Shock: Get it charged then?
[15:54] Reven: Perhaps you should deactivate it if you wish to conserve it.
[15:55] Hadin: "I tend not to leave my workshop much, and I'm sorely missing its comforting confines and denizens right about now."
[15:55] * Gene_Clatic looks at the laptop. he begins scanning for recent Wrod documents.
[15:55] Reven: Denizens?
[15:55] * Wes looks at Lkeas "well my name is Wes i was here before and i was brought back nice to meet you uuhhh"
[15:55] Rimblade: "Perhaps this innkeep has already suffered a similar fate to this man?"
[15:55] * Lkeas sticks out a hand
[15:55] Lkeas: Lkeas
[15:55] * Hadin nods at the single-word query. "Denizens. My creations, if you'd prefer that term, but they have a life of their own."
[15:56] * Wes shakes her hand "nice to meet you Lkeas"
[15:56] Shock: Wait...the lap top will run out you mean? THE laptop?
[15:56] Lkeas: the same, Wes. i wish we could have met under better circumstances
[15:56] Wes: "okay well im thirsty"
[15:56] Gene_Clatic: This one of Hadin's Shock.
[15:56] * Hadin uses his cane to tap Shock on the shoulder. "I talk of *my* laptop...and I think you mean Randal's with all your concern."
[15:56] Leo: I feel like I should introduce myself to all of you.
[15:56] Reven: You create living artifacts? How very interesting...
[15:56] Leo: My name is Leo Biaxomus, it's pleasure to meet you all.
[15:56] Reven: At any rate...
[15:56] Shock: Oh..i see..
[15:57] Reven: If you wish to stop the 'magic' of the laptop from fading...
[15:57] Reven: You would do well to render it inactive.
[15:57] Blueman: Well, hello Leo
[15:57] Blueman: You can call me Blue
[15:57] Lkeas: is the search finished, Reven? Gene was looking for documents
[15:57] Gene_Clatic: i don't see any woed documents yet. I'm shutting it down for now.
[15:57] Rimblade: "Err... what is a 'laptop'?"
[15:57] Reven: One of those.
[15:57] * Leo shakes Blue's hand.
[15:57] * Reven points at Hadin's laptop.
[15:57] Reven: They seem to be appearing a lot lately.
[15:58] Blueman: It's good to meet you, although the circumstances are a little... how shall I say it...
[15:58] Blueman: Strange
[15:58] Reven: Sometimes with paradoxial powers.
[15:58] * Gene_Clatic shuts the computer down to conserve power.
[15:58] Rimblade: "And this thing can save your writings AND preform calculations?"
[15:58] * Hadin nods and finishes the shutdown process the same way he figured it out last time, then stuffs it away into his inner robes' pockets. "An' this one mundane, apparently."
[15:58] Reven: Doesn't seem unusual.
[15:58] Reven: Although it seems to be from the wrong time.
[15:58] Gene_Clatic: Hadin, that computer does have something special about it.
[15:58] Gene_Clatic: It is from a year beyond mine.
[15:59] * Reven considers attempting to copy the software on it and release it into the wild before it is even written, if they ever get back to Terra.
[15:59] Hadin: "Sure as hell seems odd to me, no matter what time tis from, lad."
[15:59] Wes: "looks like were all from different times"
[15:59] Gene_Clatic: Well, it at least has interest to me.
[15:59] Reven: Heh.
[15:59] >Ambiance<: the Laptop opens word rather then shutting down
[15:59] Rimblade: "And planes. This IS exciting! I absolutely must hear more about your home worlds"
[15:59] Reven: Well... technology was new to myself...
[15:59] Gene_Clatic: Ah!
[15:59] >Ambiance<: apparently you misclicked
[15:59] Shock: Huh?
[15:59] Reven: Hmm?
[15:59] Lkeas: hmm.
[15:59] Reven: How strange.
[16:00] * Hadin blinks, and does *not* place it into his pocket after all.
[16:00] Shock: What does it say?
[16:00] Gene_Clatic: What does it say?
[16:00] Avarie: You know, I always wanted to have an adventure, see other worlds, all that. I just didn't think it would start like this.
[16:00] >Ambiance<: the contents of the document it displays are as follows (<a href="http://docs.google.com/View?docid=d6m9khr_0dwj5kv">http://docs.google.com/View?docid=d6m9khr_0dwj5kv</a>)
[16:00] Reven: Someone doesn't know the difference between shutting down and processing words?
[16:00] * Avarie gestures vaguely at the body and bloody writing.
[16:00] Hadin: "That wasn't there before, lad."
[16:00] Lkeas: Matthew Twain?
[16:00] Shock: Who is he...
[16:01] * Leo glances at the computer screen.
[16:01] Lkeas: most troubling... troubling indeed.
[16:01] Shock: What Lkeas?
[16:01] Rimblade: "Simply astounding. If there were'nt a murderer loose, I'd be even more delighted!"
[16:01] Lkeas: in my archive i have run across that name a few times
[16:01] Leo: Matthew Twain? The founder of NOVA?
[16:01] * Hadin blinks, then sets about memorizing the information much as he would a clockwork diagram, before attempting to shut the computer down again.
[16:01] Gene_Clatic: Hadin, that computer has a lot of interest to me. Please whatever you do, don't loose it.
[16:01] Wes: "Hmmm Lkeas were you mentioning a trip to Manhatten?"
[16:02] Lkeas: yes, we had been there just prior to returning to Immertot
[16:02] Hadin: "If ye find a wax slate and a scribe tool, I can copy it."
[16:02] Wes: "and that says Trip to Manhattan authorized coincidence?"
[16:02] Gene_Clatic: Well, this place does allow magic. Let me see.
[16:02] Reven: Hmm?
[16:02] Reven: NOVA?
[16:02] Lkeas: not at all. nothing is ever coincidental, i've found
[16:02] Reven: Twain?
[16:02] Rimblade: "Where is Manhattan?"
[16:02] Reven: Now you are suprising me.
[16:02] Reven: What are these things?
[16:03] Reven: I apologise... Terra has never been a particular interest of mine...
[16:03] Wes: "who is Lisa adn R. Cartwright?"
[16:03] Gene_Clatic: Bah, I can't materialise the paper. My king still forbids it.
[16:03] * Avarie peels a rather loose label from one of the bottles behind the bar and searches her pockets for a pencil.
[16:03] Lkeas: there is a man by the name of Matthew Twain who runs an organization called NOVA
[16:03] Leo: I'm not sure what NOVA is, or what it does. I only know it does something.
[16:03] Reven: Chaotic, but never needed my help, and with little magic there I couldn't do much anyway.
[16:03] Lkeas: Lisa apparently works for NOVA as well
[16:03] Wes: "and R. Cartwright?"
[16:03] Reven: So NOVA is a group that does stuff
[16:03] Reven: And Lisa works for them
[16:03] Rimblade: "Is this NOVA dangerous?"
[16:03] Reven: ANd Twain made them.
[16:03] Reven: How useful information.
[16:04] Reven: You are evidently a first-class archivist.
[16:04] Gene_Clatic: Jeice, this world has magic darn you! Why won't you let me? I don't care if the average person doesn't exhibit magic!
[16:04] * Avarie passes both to Hadin. "You can use these to scribe the message."
[16:04] Reven: And this Cartright, as... that guy says?
[16:04] * Gene_Clatic is seemingly yelling to no one.
[16:04] Blueman: Excuse me, but uh, what are we going to do about that body?
[16:04] Shock: Body?
[16:04] Lkeas: Cartwright... i do not know that name.
[16:04] Shock: oh we have left many around
[16:05] Shock: They normaly rot away.
[16:05] * Gene_Clatic storms off in a huff.
[16:05] Blueman: Oh
[16:05] Blueman: Well then
[16:05] Rimblade: "What? Oh, yes, the cadaver. Can't we burn it?"
[16:05] Shock: Burn?
[16:05] Shock: We never burn them.
[16:05] >Ambiance<: This Program NOVABeacon.exe has stopped responding to the system. [End Task Now] [Cancel]
[16:05] * Hadin copies the information down from memory, almost mistake free other than spelling 'authorized' by habit of shorthanding.
[16:05] Shock: But if you...huh?
[16:06] * Wes gets up and head to the bar "hmmm Kraken Ale?eh might as well try it" grabs the bottle
[16:06] Reven: Hmm
[16:06] Leo: I hate computers...
[16:06] Reven: NOVABeacon.exe...
[16:06] Reven: Sounds like a tracking program.
[16:06] * Hadin whistles over at Gene. "Lad! Get back over here, darn you."
[16:06] Leo: They never do precisely what I want them to.
[16:06] * Wes sits back down next to Lkeas
[16:06] Reven: They do exactly what I want.
[16:07] * Lkeas looks at Wes
[16:07] Reven: Which is all kinds of things.
[16:07] Lkeas: i know why you look familiar...
[16:07] Lkeas: there was a man named Kraken...
[16:07] * Wes looks at Lkeas "hmm?"
[16:07] Shock: All of these computers are so high tech compared to the ones im used to, its amazing.
[16:07] Reven: They are the best example of known and understood logic and order of operation... turning into Chaos due to complexity... that I can think of...
[16:07] Lkeas: i was in Immertot with him before
[16:07] Reven: Hehe. The more complex the technology, the more chaotic. I love it. Anyway...
[16:08] Wes: "okay what does he have to do with me?"
[16:08] Shock: So you want to burn the body?
[16:08] * Hadin copies down the name 'Program NOVABeacon.exe' and its reaction to the back of the drink label as well.
[16:08] Reven: It is interesting that NOVA would be tracking this laptop, is it not?
[16:08] Gene_Clatic: What Hadin? The computer? What is it saying now?
[16:08] Lkeas: i'm not sure yet, Wes... he was taken by the beast and became undead
[16:08] Rimblade: "If NOVA is dangerous, and tracking this laptop, wouldn't it be best to destroy the computer?"
[16:08] Hadin: "I wonder, dare I do anything *else* since shutting it down is not looking like an option?"
[16:08] Wes: "beast? undead?"
[16:08] Reven: I think you can, Hadin...
[16:09] Lkeas: the beast... the one that killed Falerin
[16:09] Reven: Computers are strange and chaotic... simply trying again can sometimes remedy the issue.
[16:09] * Hadin shows Gene the error dialog.
[16:09] Gene_Clatic: NOVAbeacon... that might be a tracking program.
[16:09] Wes: "falerin?the dead guy i fell on?"
[16:09] Reven: And a slight error on your part may have triggered the document... as opposed to shutdown.
[16:09] Gene_Clatic: Hit cancel. That is what I would do.
[16:09] Shock: Burn body yes or no? something new could be fun.
[16:09] Reven: End Process
[16:09] Reven: Stop the program
[16:09] Avarie: You can always use the default of holding the power button in for several seconds, if the shutdown command isn't working
[16:09] Reven: We don't want to be tracked
[16:09] Hadin: "Reven has beaten you to that conclusion of the 'program's nature."
[16:09] * Avarie shrugs helplessly.
[16:09] Reven: If we return to where it can function...
[16:10] Lkeas: but do we want to shut it down? shouldn't we try to figure out what it's tracking?
[16:10] Gene_Clatic: We are in Immertot, what can they do?
[16:10] Reven: I assume it's current error is due to being slightly out of range...
[16:10] Reven: It is being tracked
[16:10] * Hadin selects the [End Task Now] option, then attempts to hut it down a third time.
[16:10] Reven: The laptop is WHAT is being tracked, it seems
[16:10] Avarie: With less than 10 minutes of power remaining? Unless someone has a spare battery...
[16:10] Gene_Clatic: i say hit cancel and keep it running. It might be interesting.
[16:10] Wes: "if this NOVA is tracking that laptop no problems arent we in a different world?"
[16:10] Avarie: Say, couldn't we take the one from the other laptop?
[16:10] Reven: The shutdown should be done...
[16:10] Reven: Incase we wanted to examine it later.
[16:10] Reven: Unless you see a power point around here?
[16:10] Hadin: "How did I come to have a laptop that is tracked, when there are no such artefacts in my homeland?"
[16:11] Lkeas: the laptop apparently belongs to this R. Cartwright person
[16:11] Lkeas: since the Memorandum was sent to him
[16:11] Wes: "Lkeas what does this Kraken have to do with me though?"
[16:11] Reven: Heh.
[16:11] Reven: Conforming to whatever standard the laptop is designed for?
[16:11] Reven: As for that Hadin...
[16:11] Gene_Clatic: The other one does'nt look like it has a compatible battery.
[16:11] Reven: How did I wind up here?
[16:11] Lkeas: like i said, Wes, i'm not sure... you just seem to have something in common..
[16:11] Lkeas: another analog, perhaps?
[16:11] Rimblade: "Unless whatever this program thing was was actually tracking NOVA and their messages."
[16:11] Wes: "analog?"
[16:11] * Avarie mutters something along the lines of "probably a Dell."
[16:11] Hadin: "I've asked that about myself as well, Reven.  Your guess is as good as mine."
[16:11] Reven: My guess is fairly good.
[16:12] Reven: Chaos.
[16:12] Reven: There's chaos in the verses... the barriers are breaking down...
[16:12] Rimblade: "Chaos wouldn't do that. You describe entropy."
[16:12] Reven: Time itself seems no longer so absolute as it should be... and that is something I've never managed to stir up.
[16:12] Reven: Ah, you understand the different.
[16:12] Wes: "wait whats this part mean?"
[16:12] Reven: ce.
[16:12] Wes: " deal with the problem there have been authorized. Proceed as directed in dealing with the situation.
[16:12] Wes: MT
[16:12] * Hadin frowns at the mention of Chaos. "Do tell me that you are not a devout follower..."
[16:12] Reven: Hehe.
[16:12] Reven: What was your first clue?
[16:13] Reven: And what is wrong with that, I pray ask, oh great artifier?
[16:13] Wes: "deal with the problem proceed as directed in dealing with the situation?"
[16:13] >Ambiance<: the computer blacks out its power light blinking rapidly
[16:13] Reven: Ah well.
[16:13] Lkeas: well... so much for that.
[16:13] Avarie: Well as the heading is "The problem of Galrick" I'd imagine that is likely what they're talking about.
[16:13] Shock: No..
[16:13] Shock: it cant go out..
[16:13] Reven: Magic gone, one so unknowing of technology.
[16:13] Reven: Understood?
[16:13] Wes: "what is Galrick?"
[16:13] Lkeas: the problem of Galrick..
[16:13] Reven: Hmm.
[16:14] * Hadin growls in frustration as the laptop decides to cut out rather than being shutdown like he had attempted, then whacks Reven's foot with his cane.
[16:14] Reven: Some person I chased for a while.
[16:14] Avarie: I think I heard Randal saying something about Galrick in the bookstore...
[16:14] Wes: "what is this galricks problem?"
[16:14] * Reven steps sideways away from Hadin.
[16:14] Reven: Heh. I wasn't expecting that...
[16:14] * Blueman , after belwiderdly watching all of this; turns to Leo, the only person he knows
[16:14] Lkeas: Galrick has... a bit of history
[16:14] Reven: You yourself aid and are an agent of Chaos.
[16:14] Hadin: "Or, lad, one might ask if Galrick is NOVA's problem."
[16:14] Leo: I can't hold this question back any longer.
[16:14] Wes: "history what do you mean by that?"
[16:14] Reven: Hmm.
[16:14] Leo: Lkeas, does the Truth Encyclopedia ring any bells?
[16:14] Gene_Clatic: My king is getting on my nerves. My very life could be at risk here, and he won't let me use my power. Bah! This is rediculous. *sighs* I'm getting far too stressed. Jeice is right.
[16:15] Lkeas: yes, that is my archive... how did you know of it?
[16:15] >Ambiance<: There is a keening wailing throughout the forest
[16:15] *** SleepyBeo is now known as Beo.
[16:15] Reven: Galrick was in New York... if I recall my Terra correctly...
[16:15] Lkeas: shhh
[16:15] Lkeas: that sound...
[16:15] Reven: That's Manhatten.
[16:15] * Wes drinks down the ale he got
[16:15] Lkeas: they come
[16:15] Blueman: What is so interesting about that computer
[16:15] Rimblade: "What's this?"
[16:15] * Lkeas opens the front door
[16:15] * Lkeas walks out towards the edge of the forest
[16:15] Gene_Clatic: Here come the undead.
[16:15] * Hadin guffaws at Reven's 'compliment'. "I'm just a crochety old man, actually, and do not like being so insulted."
[16:15] Wes: "what the?"
[16:15] * Leo quickly follows Lkeas.
[16:15] Reven: The undead of Immertot rise now...
[16:15] >Ambiance<: The corpse of Caliban lies beheaded at the front stoop of the inn
[16:15] Reven: How... concerning.
[16:15] * Wes steps outside
[16:15] Shock: !!!
[16:15] * Lkeas stops
[16:15] Wes: "eww"
[16:15] Shock: NO!
[16:15] Reven: Well, if you want to go out there to greet them, you can.
[16:16] * Avarie visibly cringes.
[16:16] Reven: I'll stay in here.
[16:16] Lkeas: no...
[16:16] Shock: No..
[16:16] Blueman: Another body?!
[16:16] Wes: "did i step in something?"
[16:16] * Lkeas drops to her knees
[16:16] Reven: Another body?
[16:16] Lkeas: dear Caliban...
[16:16] Reven: Ah.
[16:16] Gene_Clatic: No! Not Caliban!
[16:16] * Hadin packs the laptop away into his inner pocket, then hobbles over to look for a drink not laden with alcohol.
[16:16] * Reven wanders over and takes a look.
[16:16] Reven: Yup, dead all right.
[16:16] Shock: The lap top.. I have to try...
[16:16] Gene_Clatic: My fears seem to have been misguided then.
[16:16] Shock: give it here
[16:16] Blueman: Caliban?
[16:16] * Reven wanders over to the bar and gets a drink.
[16:16] Reven: No innkeeper, no rules, right?
[16:16] Rimblade: "I was afraid that might happen. I fear that whatever this beast is, it means to slay us every one."
[16:16] Blueman: Well it sure didn't take mercy
[16:16] Shock: Hadin may i see your laptop?
[16:16] * Wes steps off to the side
[16:17] Reven: As for you... Hadin...
[16:17] * Lkeas cries
[16:17] * Wes sighs
[16:17] Gene_Clatic: I regret the loss of him, but I'm thankful that my fears were incorrect... for now.
[16:17] Lkeas: i barely knew him...
[16:17] Reven: I take umbrage...
[16:17] Hadin: "And here I was thinking of paying the man later...alas, free drinks then, I suppose."
[16:17] Reven: Chaos is not an insult...
[16:17] Reven: Hehe, you THINK like me as well.
[16:17] * Wes pats Lkeas on the back "its okay"
[16:17] Lkeas: and yet i knew... he was a great man
[16:17] Reven: Deny it all you like... call it an insult...
[16:17] Reven: But you are not so different.
[16:17] Lkeas: he returned to Immertot of his own will
[16:17] Lkeas: he didn't have to
[16:17] Shock: Hadin i ask again. may i see your lap top?
[16:17] Rimblade: "Saeklas."
[16:17] Lkeas: he asked his deity to let him return
[16:18] Lkeas: and now he has paid the price..
[16:18] Gene_Clatic: He said he died before.
[16:18] * Lkeas turns to Gene
[16:18] Reven: As I said to Randal... so long ago...
[16:18] Gene_Clatic: I hope that means that his soul is safe.
[16:18] Reven: Immertot...
[16:18] Reven: Sounds a great place for a holiday.
[16:18] Hadin: "Reven, I am a man normally of the tenants of Balance, and as such shall return to its tenants once I've acclimated myself to this situation...if that ever happens." Turning to Shock, he adds, "No. Tis out of 'power', and I shall tinker with it later."
[16:18] Leo: I never knew him, so I can't be sad over his death.
[16:18] Lkeas: still... would you have wanted to suffer this horrible fate... again??
[16:18] >Ambiance<: The corpse of Caliban bursts into flame
[16:18] Shock: I wish to..
[16:18] * Lkeas jumps back
[16:18] Shock: !!
[16:18] * Reven hears a whoosh.
[16:18] >Ambiance<: The corpse of Falerin bursts into flame
[16:18] Shock: what the..
[16:18] Shock: !!
[16:18] * Blueman freaks out
[16:18] * Reven sees the second.
[16:18] Shock: what is going on?
[16:18] Gene_Clatic: Ah, they may be coming back!
[16:18] Leo: How odd.
[16:19] Reven: Burning corpses.
[16:19] Lkeas: the deities
[16:19] * Avarie jumps with a small "eek."
[16:19] Reven: How nice.
[16:19] * Hadin staggers away from Falerin's corpse, having obtained some vodka near the body.
[16:19] * Wes "hey who burnt him?!?!?" walks away from the burning corpse
[16:19] Rimblade: "Oh dear...."
[16:19] Reven: At least we don't have to get up close and personal with this Falerin avatar.
[16:19] Lkeas: they would not let their Avatars become undead after all..
[16:19] Reven: He reeked while he was alive.
[16:19] >Ambiance<: the corpse of Falerin catches the alcohol nearby on fire
[16:19] Gene_Clatic: It must have hurt... I must thank them for being the targets this time if they do come back.
[16:19] Lkeas: oh no...
[16:19] Shock: The inn!
[16:19] Gene_Clatic: Uh oh...
[16:19] Lkeas: the inn!
[16:19] Shock: NO
[16:19] * Wes grabs lkeas "RUN!"
[16:19] Lkeas: can't we stop the fire?
[16:19] * Leo sighs.
[16:19] * Hadin coughs and splutters at the strength of the alcohol after taking a swig...then promptly hobbles *away* from the burning alcohol.
[16:20] * Blueman turns to the man who had suggested burning the body "Well, you got your wish..."
[16:20] Lkeas: isn't there water somewhere??
[16:20] Reven: Hehe.
[16:20] * Avarie glances around for some water.
[16:20] Gene_Clatic: Jeice... I need to use ice magic! Give me permission!
[16:20] Reven: Well, I DO like it here...
[16:20] Gene_Clatic: Jeice!
[16:20] Gene_Clatic: Crud.
[16:20] Lkeas: we need shelter from the rain...
[16:20] Shock: i have to try..
[16:20] >Ambiance<: a cold wind emenates suddenly from Gene and a cold rain begins to fall
[16:20] * Gene_Clatic gets his distance from the fire.
[16:20] * Avarie runs upstairs to a room and grabs a heavy bedsheet.
[16:20] * Reven searches the bar for a water tap.
[16:20] Avarie: Help me smother it!
[16:20] Rimblade: "Where did this fire come from!? It cannot be ex nihilo!
[16:20] Shock: ...
[16:20] Shock: i..
[16:20] Blueman: Did you not want to burn the body?
[16:20] Reven: Hmm, nothing here.
[16:20] Wes: "never mind"
[16:20] Shock: I must try
[16:21] * Lkeas takes the stairs two at a time and grabs her own blanket
[16:21] * Wes lets go of Lkeas
[16:21] * Shock snaps his fingers in the direction of the inn and produces a chunk of ice. Startled by something actualy happening, the ice grows into a flame that burns the sleve of Shock's shirt. He imideitly drops to the ground and starts to roll.
[16:21] * Avarie blinks as the rain washes into her face.
[16:21] * Reven heads over to the fire, and waves his hand in an attempt to increase his own oxygen intake.
[16:21] Shock: Ow!
[16:21] Shock: darn it!
[16:21] >Ambiance<: the corpse continues burning but the fire to the inn is exstinguished
[16:21] Shock: Normaly its single molecules..
[16:21] * Hadin grimaces in displeasure as the cold rain starts to fall, and redoubles his grimy outer robes over the pocket containing the laptop just as he would with one of his critters.
[16:21] >Ambiance<: The flaming corpses begin buring white hot
[16:21] Shock: What the..
[16:21] Wes: "whoa"
[16:22] * Shock gets to his feet clutching his burned arm
[16:22] * Reven stops, seeing it was no longer needed.
[16:22] >Ambiance<: A face appears in he flames of the nearby fireplace
[16:22] * Lkeas comes back down the stairs in time to see the face in the fireplace
[16:22] Lkeas: what...
[16:22] * Reven sees the face and laughs.
[16:22] Reven: Hehe.
[16:22] * Avarie backs away as the heat dries the rain on her body almost as soon as it accumulates.
[16:22] Reven: And now the fire speaks.
[16:22] Face: Your deity Genoclysm has no influence in this world
[16:22] Shock: Huh?
[16:22] Gene_Clatic: Ha! He's not a deity!
[16:22] Gene_Clatic: That is funny!
[16:23] * Hadin turns towards the face in the fireplace, no longer capable of being shocked without promptly being dead at this point in his long life.
[16:23] Gene_Clatic: He is a king that I pledged my allegience too.
[16:23] Face: He grants you the power or denies it to you... by the definitions of this world he is therefore a deity
[16:23] * Leo sits down on the nearest chair.
[16:23] Face: He cannot even hear you while you are here.
[16:23] Rimblade: "Dyn preserve us.... what plane is this then?"
[16:23] * Blueman stands there, speechless
[16:23] Lkeas: then... was it you who caused the rain?
[16:23] Gene_Clatic: So that is why...
[16:23] Face: None the less I have substituted for him....
[16:24] Reven: So who would you be?
[16:24] Hadin: "I believe it is called Immertot, if I recall..."
[16:24] Blueman: Indeed
[16:24] Reven: Falerin?
[16:24] Gene_Clatic: Usually our communications go through, no matter what the distance.
[16:24] Wes: "wo are you then?"
[16:24] Face: And have granted your prayers effectively as my cleric.....
[16:24] Reven: Hehe.
[16:24] Shock: Who..are you then..
[16:24] Gene_Clatic: Your Cleric?
[16:24] Face: You forget that this world is normally closed off to outside powers
[16:24] Face: That is the nature of the farpoint
[16:24] * Lkeas turns to Gene
[16:25] Lkeas: a Cleric of a farpoint deity? you should be honored
[16:25] Rimblade: "Err... and the Farpoint being...?"
[16:25] Reven: Heh... congradulations Gene.
[16:25] Voice: I did not say I was a farpoint deity
[16:25] Reven: You serve the fire now.
[16:25] Blueman: What
[16:26] Voice: I do serve that jurisdiction however
[16:26] * Lkeas looks closer at the face
[16:26] Lkeas: who are you?
[16:26] Gene_Clatic: Thank you, but understand, I'll be more loyal to my king than to a foreign deity to his world. He saved me from a terrible life. I'll obey him first and foremost if I obey anyone.
[16:26] Voice: I am Therlion
[16:26] * Avarie peers at the face, approaching as close as the heat will allow. "Who are you?"
[16:26] Blueman: Therlion?
[16:26] Shock: Therloin?
[16:26] Voice: My office is diversity
[16:26] * Hadin sits himself down in the nearest chair. "Clerics now...first Chaos and now a Cleric...by the Lords things just keep going for extremes." Sighing to himself, he begins opening a few internal aperatures in his cane and fills them with the vodka.
[16:26] Reven: You don't have a choice, Gene.
[16:26] Reven: You serve the fire now.
[16:26] Gene_Clatic: Hah, I didn't say I wasn't going to.
[16:26] Shock: Sounds like a good steak
[16:26] Reven: Or rather, our dear Therlion.
[16:26] Blueman: I give up
[16:26] Lkeas: Therlion... it is indeed a great honor, i have heard much of your exploits
[16:26] Leo: Someone once told me of this Therlion.
[16:26] Hadin: "He serves Diversity now, actually."
[16:27] Shock: should be easy to remember
[16:27] * Blueman joins the two men sitting in chairs
[16:27] Gene_Clatic: I just said that Jeice has my loyalty.
[16:27] * Reven turns to Hadin and snickes.
[16:27] * Leo looks at Lkeas.
[16:27] Reven: rs
[16:27] Voice: And you stand in my creation.....
[16:27] Shock: The inn?
[16:27] * Reven proceeds to take a number of bottles of vodka and secret them within his robe.
[16:27] Voice: My power wanes.... as the planes of instability shift
[16:28] >Ambiance<: The Face Vanishes and the fire returns to normal. All that is left of Falerin and Caliban is a caustic boneash
[16:28] Wes: "hey get me some more Kraken ale whoevers stealing the vodka!"
[16:28] Shock: I need to lay down..my arm hurts alot...see you then..
[16:28] * Blueman sees a man stealing bottles of vodka and sighs dramatically
[16:28] * Reven also checks once more for his daggers, poisons, and other possessions.
[16:28] Gene_Clatic: Hm.
[16:28] Reven: Nope.. nothing.
[16:28] Reven: WHich is kind of annoying.
[16:28] Wes: "so what did i hear earlier about undead?"
[16:28] *** Rimblade has signed off IRC (NickServ (GHOST command used by Rimblade311)).
[16:28] Reven: I'd gotten rather fond of that pet rat, and that enchanted dagger. Gave people hallucinations.
[16:29] Lkeas: the wailing... it is supposed to signal the coming of the undead
[16:29] Reven: Ah well.
[16:29] Lkeas: they might have arrived while we were trying to put out the fire
[16:29] Hadin: "As bereft of your usual accompaniment as am I, eh Reven?"
[16:29] Wes: "where are they?"
[16:29] Reven: Not really now...
[16:29] Gene_Clatic: Well, i guess i can ignore Jeice's orders in this case. I'm sure he'd understand. he can't do anything about it anyways. If Therlion allows power, then I'll use it.
[16:29] *** Rimblade has joined #EPIC.
[16:29] Blueman: So that... that fire was the act of the undead?
[16:29] Lkeas: they appear by the forest
[16:29] *** Mode change "+v Rimblade" for channel #EPIC by Falerin.
[16:29] Reven: I carry round Vodka on a regular basis, as well as other things.
[16:29] Lkeas: no.. the undead do not cause fires like that...
[16:29] * Hadin addresses the others. "In your rooms, by chance was there anything of clockwork nature?"
[16:29] * Wes stares at the forest "this forest seems strange"
[16:29] Lkeas: at least.. not while i've been here
[16:30] Reven: You miss your watch, Hadin?
[16:30] Falerin: The general undead do not....
[16:30] Reven: I haven't swiped it, in this case.
[16:30] Falerin: ((GRR...))
[16:30] Morgan: The general undead do not....
[16:30] Lkeas: time is irrelevant here, Hadin.. you may find that your stay in Immertot may be days, or only seconds on your home world
[16:30] Hadin: "How quiant, Reven, but far from the point."
[16:30] Gene_Clatic: I must find a way to contact him... he'll want to know where i am first of all. Haha, I did dissappear from his Castle when i came.
[16:30] * Lkeas turns to Morgan
[16:30] Lkeas: you..
[16:30] Wes: "ehh???whos this"
[16:30] Gene_Clatic: Oh, hello Morgan.
[16:30] * Avarie spins to face the newcomer
[16:30] * Rimblade turns to Morgan
[16:30] Reven: You seem rather obsessed with your possessions... and hating of Chaos.
[16:30] Lkeas: were you watching this whole time?
[16:30] Rimblade: "Hi!"
[16:30] Hadin: "Time is not the issue, Lkeas, but rather clockwork itself."
[16:30] Morgan: I thought I might do you a favor....
[16:30] Reven: And yet, you claim to be of balance.
[16:31] Leo: Curious.
[16:31] Morgan: Undead slaved to the beast with the power of the gods....
[16:31] Shock: Morgan! Where is Scared! What did you do to him!
[16:31] Morgan: Would be... unfortunate for many....
[16:31] Lkeas: yes... it would
[16:31] Morgan: He is in training Shock
[16:31] Blueman: What the
[16:31] * Hadin perches his chin on the head of his cane and watches the exchange between Morgan and Lkeas.
[16:31] Lkeas: but would Caliban and Falerin be slaves to the beast? i thought they were protected?
[16:31] Shock: Training?
[16:31] Wes: "i remember Morgan"
[16:31] Morgan: It is none of your concern what I have done with him....
[16:32] Lkeas: why did their bodies burn?
[16:32] Shock: What for? And it is. He is a friend.
[16:32] Morgan: "It would appear that Falerin was convinced by someone to "just let his avatar go"
[16:32] Lkeas: ...
[16:32] Blueman: I have heard many say something about "the beast"
[16:32] Shock: !!
[16:32] Morgan: "So he withdrew all protection"
[16:32] * Lkeas curses
[16:32] Shock: We did it?
[16:32] Shock: But..
[16:32] Blueman: What is this beast you speak of
[16:32] Morgan: "The beast immediately detected this
[16:32] Reven: The avatar got what he wanted...
[16:32] Shock: We never said..
[16:32] Shock: No.
[16:32] Wes: "did you do that convincing Morgan?"
[16:32] Reven: Or rather, what he asked for...
[16:32] Shock: He never wanted to die.
[16:32] Lkeas: undeath was never what Falerin wanted...
[16:32] Reven: Whether he really wanted it or not.
[16:32] Gene_Clatic: Oh dear...
[16:32] Rimblade: "Who is this person, and why is everyone so worked up about him?"
[16:32] * Lkeas turns to Gene
[16:33] Reven: No clue.
[16:33] Wes: "all i remember is hes a necromancer"
[16:33] * Avarie watches quietly.
[16:33] Lkeas: you... did you witness Falerin addressing his wife and child?
[16:33] Gene_Clatic: My fears were partially correct then.
[16:33] Morgan: "It was Falerin's intervention that kept his Avatar as it was... he stopped me from killing him when he accepted it himself did he not"
[16:33] Lkeas: he did indeed
[16:33] Shock: I see..
[16:33] Morgan: "Do not act suprised. the only way the god could grant the request was by withdrawing his power"
[16:33] Wes: "yeah"
[16:33] Morgan: "He did so...."
[16:33] Morgan: "This was the result"
[16:33] Morgan: "Unfortunately its too late"
[16:33] Lkeas: but what of Caliban? surely Eldron would have kept an eye on him?
[16:33] Wes: "but where are the undead?"
[16:34] * Hadin levers himself up, no longer so interested at the conversation now that what little explanation that would hold sway over his experience was acknowledged, and begins looking for tools and clockwork in any adjacent rooms...
[16:34] Morgan: "The forest claimed them before I even sent the fire"
[16:34] Lkeas: no...
[16:34] Morgan: "Eldron.... has never protected Caliban in the same way...."
[16:34] Shock: I never wanted Falerin to kill him just treat him better..
[16:34] * Blueman walks over to Hadin "What are you looking for?"
[16:34] Reven: You expected the God of Evil to treat his pawns... well...
[16:34] Morgan: "Caliban unlike Falerin Chose to be here"
[16:34] Reven: Hehe...
[16:34] Lkeas: that's true..
[16:34] Morgan: "He directly took that risk upon himself"
[16:34] Morgan: "Eldron allowed it...."
[16:34] Morgan: "What a shame...."
[16:35] Hadin: "Tools, typically finer and smaller the better...and clockwork. Anything of clockwork."
[16:35] Gene_Clatic: it might have been me. I wasn't wanting undeath for him though. I wanted true release. Falerin was supposed to do it himself, not let him be taken by the forest!
[16:35] Morgan: "Apparently Caliban was awoken by what happened and tried to intervene on Falerin's behalf"
[16:35] Wes: "but what of this analog that Lkeas was talking about of mine?"
[16:35] * Blueman pulls up his sleeve and points to his watch. "Like this?"
[16:35] Morgan: "You repaid the inn keeper for his kindness by beheading him"
[16:35] Shock: What?
[16:35] Lkeas: the dreams..
[16:36] * Hadin barely restrains himself from grasping the watch. "Yes, anything like that or of its sort. I need the guts of clockwork."
[16:36] Reven: Well, every good deed deserves its reward.
[16:36] * Lkeas glares at Reven
[16:36] * Reven turns to Hadin, in suprise.
[16:36] Shock: Thats no reward...
[16:36] Reven: What an obsessive person you are...
[16:36] Morgan: "No good deed goes unpunished"
[16:36] Reven: Obsessed with your own possessions...
[16:36] Morgan: "Unforutnately this leaves you without aid"
[16:37] Morgan: "I once again offer my services to you"
[16:37] Shock: I heard a song about that...
[16:37] Shock: and no
[16:37] Reven: And now trying to take all artifacts you can.
[16:37] Lkeas: your services...
[16:37] Shock: No one wants it. But i cant speak for the others. Go betray us if you wish.
[16:37] Lkeas: how does your version of undeath solve anything?
[16:37] * Hadin waves Reven aside. "I tinker, it is what I always do. My medium is clockwork, and unless you expect me to think of what the rest of you cannot, I need my medium to provide service or benefit.
[16:37] * Blueman removes his watch and hands it to Hadin, who seems almost ravenous. Uh, it's not very good, but here, I've been wanting to get rid of it actually...
[16:37] Shock: Its slightly nicer
[16:37] Morgan: "Choose quickly as the seasons have shifted.. Night will become progressively longer and it will come progressively faster now.... "
[16:38] Wes: "Morgan where are the undead and my analog!?
[16:38] Wes: "
[16:38] Gene_Clatic: Falerin, if you can hear me, this is NOT what I wanted for him! If he has been taken by the forest... he wanted release, darn you! You better have made sure he had true release! If you want to keep respect that is. I can do nothing else. If you still can, please help your servants soul!
[16:38] Shock: He cant.
[16:38] Morgan: Falerin is not an omnipotent deity
[16:38] * Hadin slips the watch into a pocket with a nod of thanks, then gestures Reven over.
[16:38] Morgan: No deity really is
[16:38] *** Rimblade has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[16:38] * Reven wanders over cautiously.
[16:38] Shock: So true..
[16:38] Morgan: They are always restricted by something or other
[16:38] Morgan: even if its just their own nature
[16:38] Reven: What now, oh possession lover of balance?
[16:39] * Hadin whispers into Reven's ear carefully.
[16:39] Reven: Hmm?
[16:39] Morgan: Falerin did exactly what you asked. When he left newyork he took his mantle with him"
[16:39] Shock: Well at least i aggre with your intelect. I still dont want your help though.
[16:39] Morgan: "It is not Falerins fault that you subsequently came back to immertot"
[16:39] Morgan: "On the contrary the deity has more or less been otherwise engaged"
[16:39] Gene_Clatic: He could have waited untill a better time.
[16:39] Lkeas: hindsight is always 20/20
[16:39] Morgan: "He is not omniscient either"
[16:40] Morgan: "You made your demands now...."
[16:40] Morgan: "You should not cast off blame that belongs squarely on you...."
[16:40] Morgan: "Well I see none of you are willing to fight the beast...."
[16:40] Wes: "i demand to know where this analog of mine is"
[16:40] Lkeas: how can we fight him?
[16:40] Morgan: "Good.. er... night...."
[16:40] Lkeas: or her?
[16:40] >Ambiance<: Night Falls
[16:40] Shock: Demands? We made no demands. I will now though. Leave. Help or leave.
[16:40] Lkeas: damn.
[16:40] * Reven mutters something back to Hadin.
[16:40] Blueman: What is this beast you keep speaking of?
[16:40] * Morgan vanishes
[16:41] Hadin: "I prefer to understand what I would choose to fight, mind you all."
[16:41] Avarie: I will fight if possible. Are there weapons about?
[16:41] Wes: "MORGAN! awww crap"
[16:41] * Gene_Clatic goes into the inn.
[16:41] Lkeas: the beast, blueman... it is what kills in the night
[16:41] Leo: He is correct, I do not wish to fight this beast.
[16:41] * Avarie begins searching the inn in ernest
[16:41] Blueman: Wait, did that guy just vanish?
[16:41] >Ambiance<: as always night within immertot causes an deep drowsiness that cannot be resisted.....
[16:41] *** Sonic12040 has joined #EPIC.
[16:41] Lkeas: we'd better get back indoors
[16:41] Hadin: "While you search...hmm...maybe in the morning, actually."
[16:41] >Ambiance<: Villagers have 1 minute to get to their rooms before they must close their eyes
[16:41] * Lkeas walks up to her room slowly, with trepidation
[16:41] * Wes goes into the innn grabs some Kraken ale and heads into a room to sleep
[16:41] * Shock runs up to his room and gets some sleep.
[16:42] * Hadin hobbles towards his room after hearing what Reven has to say.
[16:42] * Leo walks slowly up the stairs to his room.
[16:42] * Reven heads upstairs past Hadin.
[16:42] * Blueman tries to fight his exhaustion for a minute before he heads up stairs
[16:42] * Reven hurries into his room and collapses on his bed, instantly asleep.
[16:42] * Avarie gazes about her as everyone trudges off, and decides to follow. She decides that she will sleep with her back to the door instead of using the bed.
[16:43] * Blueman lies down in his bed
[16:43] * Hadin sits on the floor of his room, and rests his head on pillowed hands atop his cane, just as before.
[16:43] Morgan: VILLAGERS CLOSE YOUR EYES
[16:44] Falerin: ((All players have 1 minute to pm me with the answer to the following question. If you were the beast who would YOU kill this night.))

[16:50] >Ambiance<: You sneak behind the tinkerer who is fussing with the remains of a watch he somehow obtained. His insomnia overcoming even the dire pull of sleep....
[16:51] >Ambiance<: You raise both claws and place a single claw nail from each right through his carotid artery and jugular at each side
[16:52] >Ambiance<: a deep crimson glow emenates from your hand as you unleash the power
[16:52] >Ambiance<: the blood pumps forcibly from the dying mans heart gallons and gallons and gallons....
[16:53] >Ambiance<: well beyond what his body could have contained. His bone marrow actively producing blood due to the magic even as he dies
[16:53] >Ambiance<: you bathe in in....
[16:53] >Ambiance<: you drink in it....
[16:53] >Ambiance<: as it fills the common room in a three foot pool you even swim in it
[16:54] >Ambiance<: and then you open the inn door so that the blood pours out toward immertot forest proper.....
[16:54] >Ambiance<: Villagers awaken in the middle of the night by the keening wail normally heard only at noon
[16:55] >Ambiance<: you are covered litterally from head to toe in gore
[16:56] >Ambiance<: the moaning grows lounder and you can see the undead moving in the far distance following the river of blood unable to resist the draw toward bloodied flesh
[16:57] Gene_Clatic: Oh, crud!
[16:57] * Lkeas runs as carefully as possible to Gene's room
[16:57] * Wes wakes up covered in blood and hearing the undead "uh oh"
[16:57] Shock: wow...
[16:57] Lkeas: quick! the undead approach!
[16:57] Lkeas: can you summon the rain again?
[16:57] Shock: thats alot of blood...
[16:57] Gene_Clatic: Therlion, can you hear me?!
[16:57] * Leo wakes up, shaking his head. "This all just a dream, remain calm"
[16:57] * Reven awakens to moaning.
[16:57] * Avarie opens her door and looks about.
[16:57] * Wes runs out of the room
[16:57] * Blueman sits up coughing up... blood
[16:57] Reven: Hmm?
[16:57] Blueman: AACHHHH
[16:57] * Lkeas slips on a puddle of blood and skids into Gene's room
[16:57] Reven: Another blood bath... good for the skin, but means someone else lost theres.
[16:57] Reven: Or more than one with this amount.
[16:57] >Ambiance<: Some of the undead coming upon the flesh of other undead covered in the gore begin feasting on each other
[16:57] Gene_Clatic: Therlion, the blood needs washing away! Therlion, please hurry!
[16:57] * Lkeas turns to the others
[16:58] Shock: All i can do i kill myself with fire, its no good. We are doomed. They may come and kill us no?
[16:58] >Ambiance<: a soft rain begins to fall
[16:58] Lkeas: the blood, it attracts the undead..
[16:58] * Wes looks out the window as he runs into Gene room "WE GOT COMPANY!"
[16:58] * Reven wanders out into the corridor.
[16:58] Avarie: Oh no! We're covered too!
[16:58] Reven: Undead...
[16:58] * Leo walks out of his room.
[16:58] Lkeas: thank Therlion, the rain is back..
[16:58] * Blueman runs downstairs away from his room, only to find more gore...
[16:58] Leo: What's going on?
[16:58] * Gene_Clatic climbs out the window into the rain.
[16:58] * Lkeas goes outside to stand in the rain
[16:58] Gene_Clatic: Everyone wash!
[16:58] Shock: No idea.

[17:05] * Gene_Clatic complies.
[17:05] Wes: "this is taking to long Gene"
[17:05] Reven: Maybe I can delay them.

[17:05] * Reven turns to the front of the inn, walks to the window, and waves his hand at the undead, attempting to create a mass hallucination... despite the fact he knows his powers are likely not powerful enough to do this.
[17:05] Blueman: Do it

[17:06] * Reven anxiously looks out on the Undead, waiting to see any signs of his illusion.
[17:06] Voice: Registered your retinal pattern

[17:06] Reven: I wonder if they could be immune, or my power simply non-functional...
[17:07] Blueman: Did the computer work?
[17:07] Gene_Clatic: Computer, take us to Manhattan!
[17:07] Wes: "REVEN HELP ME OUT HERE!"
[17:07] * Wes points to Reven pocket of vodka"

[17:07] Shock: Sure say yes..
[17:07] Reven: Why do you want it?
[17:07] Gene_Clatic: Yes, now hurry!

[17:09] Reven: We need to go
[17:09] Gene_Clatic: Proceed!
[17:09] Lkeas: we're going to cause a panic..
[17:09] Blueman: WHAT IS GOING ON??!!
[17:09] Gene_Clatic: Everyone get close!
[17:09] Reven: And this time we need to share the paradox

[17:10] * Leo heads towards Gene.
[17:10] >Ambiance<: All goes black and for a moment you are floating in nothing there is a flip in your stomach like a car going over a hill suddently and then.... You are standing in a cold corn field. The half moon hangs over your head.....
[17:10] Blueman: What about that hallucination thing you were talking about?
[17:10] Reven: I accepted my path and I follow it to my...
[17:10] Reven: And I am safe.
[17:10] Reven: Or so it seems.
[17:10] * Lkeas blinks
[17:10] Shock: ok...
[17:10] Reven: I tried to create an illusion that the undead were wounded.
[17:10] * Blueman is speechless
[17:10] Lkeas: this... doesn't look like the Manhattan i know...
[17:10] Reven: Just for a moment.
[17:10] Shock: where are we...
[17:10] Voice: Localized population low. Paradox Gain 3 points. How shall I distribute.
[17:10] Gene_Clatic: Oh dear...
[17:10] Reven: And hope the undead would turn on each other.
[17:10] Elaith: I'll take all the paradox. Then at least I won't have to carry anyone, eh?
[17:10] Shock: 3 points..
[17:10] Reven: No...
[17:10] Shock: darn it
[17:10] Blueman: This... is not Manhattan
[17:10] Leo: this is very confusing...
[17:10] Shock: wait
[17:11] Shock: WAIT
[17:11] Lkeas: what are our options for distribution?
[17:11] Gene_Clatic: Computer, what does one point do?
[17:11] Voice: Localized population low. Paradox Gain 3 points. How shall I distribute.
[17:11] Reven: If I understand paradox...
[17:11] Shock: chose
[17:11] Shock: lets split it
[17:11] Wes: "take us to Manhatan 2008!"
[17:11] Reven: And now I've had it, I think I do...
[17:11] * Avarie looks around, confused.
[17:11] Gene_Clatic: Computer, what does one point do?
[17:11] Reven: It causes hallucinations...
[17:11] Shock: Reven can take 2, Lkeas can take 1
[17:11] Reven: No...
[17:11] Lkeas: Wes, we can't afford to keep gaining paradox points
[17:11] Falerin: "The effects of paradox vary...."
[17:11] Shock: Give Reven more
[17:11] Voice: Localized population low. Paradox Gain 3 points. How shall I distribute.
[17:11] Shock: ok..
[17:11] Shock: who wants it then..
[17:11] Reven: I understand it...
[17:11] Gene_Clatic: Give them all to me.
[17:11] Shock: ok..
[17:11] >Ambiance<: Affirmative
[17:12] Reven: That doesn't mean I am immune.
[17:12] Wes: "no remember the word document 2008! if ewe go to year 2008 then we might be safe"
[17:12] Lkeas: no, gene! what if you lose consciousness! we'll have to register another user!
[17:12] Leo: What the heck is a paradox anyway?
[17:12] * Avarie winces.
[17:12] Shock: I can try again..
[17:12] Reven: They won't.
[17:12] Shock: Gene you ok?
[17:12] Gene_Clatic: So be it! Someone else is always available!
[17:12] Reven: From my experiences with 10 points...
[17:12] Blueman: What?
[17:12] Reven: I doubt three would have that effect...
[17:12] * You have gained a paradox flaw. Murphys Technologist
[17:13] Avarie: If I understand it correctly, it would be best that those who know how to opporate the machinery or have information on what's occuring should not take paradox points.
[17:13] Reven: Avarie is also correct...
[17:13] Reven: In short...
[17:13] *** Takun has joined #EPIC.
[17:13] >Ambiance<: Paradox distributed.
[17:13] Blueman: So who takes them?
[17:13] Reven: Quiet points are something similar to being under a few of my spells... although NONE seem to be functional right now...
[17:14] Reven: Or paradox... as this system calls them...
[17:14] Reven: I never saw them in person before...
[17:14] *** Takun has left #EPIC.
[17:14] Reven: Nor expected to...
[17:14] * Avarie studies Gene.
[17:14] Blueman: Are we going to Manhattan or not?!
[17:14] Reven: Ah well... this should be fun... we will have to see what the effects of this paradox is...
[17:15] VOICE: CRITICAL SYSTEM ERROR>>>>>>> SYSTEM SIEZURE
[17:15] Gene_Clatic: Uh oh...
[17:15] Blueman: What the?!
[17:15] Reven: Hmm?
[17:15] Reven: What's happening now?
[17:15] * Avarie bites her knuckles, expecting the worst.
[17:15] Leo: What...
[17:15] Shock: huh?
[17:15] Shock: what the..
[17:15] >Ambiance<: the computer locks up and does not function
[17:15] Lkeas: well... wherever we are... we're probably stuck here for a while..
[17:16] Shock: !!
[17:16] Reven: I wonder if that is related.
[17:16] Gene_Clatic: Um...
[17:16] Wes: "at least were away from the undead"
[17:16] * Lkeas looks at Gene
[17:16] Shock: Gene?

[17:16] Lkeas: guys, best leave it alone
[17:16] Shock: ?
[17:16] Avarie: eeek
[17:16] Reven: Seems you can't operate a computer.
[17:16] Gene_Clatic: Someone take it!
[17:16] Reven: I will.
[17:16] >Ambiance<: as blueman grabs the coputer it immediately reboots
[17:16] Shock: Moonash is going to kill us for..
[17:16] Lkeas: hmm

[17:16] Shock: huh?
[17:16] Blueman: Well then
[17:17] Shock: what the?
[17:17] Reven: Ah well... he got it first.
[17:17] Gene_Clatic: Oh that is just fine and dandy...
[17:17] Reven: Paradox has bad effects...
[17:17] * Gene_Clatic rols his eyes.
[17:17] Reven: My dreams... while pleasant by my definition...
[17:17] Lkeas: Murphy's Technologist...
[17:17] Blueman: Some one log in
[17:17] Gene_Clatic: Better put that key back on.
[17:17] Lkeas: is that like Murphy's Law?
[17:17] Reven: Would not be ones most would enjoy...
[17:17] Shock: So it works for everyone but me? awsome, this god sure trusts me i bet.
[17:17] Gene_Clatic: Seems that way Lkeas.
[17:17] Lkeas: :(
[17:18] Shock: uh oh..

[17:18] *** Hadin has joined #EPIC.
[17:18] * Blueman gestures to the computer he is still holding. "Some one needs to log in"
[17:18] Lkeas: no wonder the computer stopped working for you..

[17:18] Gene_Clatic: Right, I'll try not to...
[17:18] Reven: Register "Reven"
[17:18] Blueman: When I grabbed it it rebooted
[17:18] Gene_Clatic: When it boots, ask it where we are.
[17:18] Lkeas: Gene might still be able to handle non-technological things
[17:18] Shock: yes

[17:19] Voice: This appears to be the first time you have utilized CaelOS
[17:19] Lkeas: hmm
[17:20] Shock: 3 points was just bad luck
[17:20] Shock: 10 was a coma
[17:20] * Wes place his finger on the scanner
[17:20] * Avarie tilts her head to the side and contimplates Wes
[17:20] Voice: Please place your finger on the biometric scanner
[17:20] Gene_Clatic: i might have prefered the coma.

[17:20] Shock: oh really?
[17:20] Shock: why is that?
[17:20] Voice: Please place the optical disk on your left eye
[17:20] Gene_Clatic: V will kill me if I touch any of his stuff now...
[17:20] Elaith: Murphy's Technologist is probably more than bad luck if Murphy's Law applies to it.
[17:20] Shock: you get what i mean...
[17:20] * Wes places the optical disk on his left eye
[17:21] Shock: V?
[17:21] >Ambiance<: Bright light scans Wes' eye

[17:22] >Ambiance<: The Year is 2006 CE
[17:22] Shock: ok..
[17:22] Blueman: What?
[17:23] Gene_Clatic: Ask it to tell us the name of our location.
[17:23] Blueman: This isn't Manhattan 2006?
[17:23] Lkeas: strange. shouldn't Manhattan be a bustling city in 2006?
[17:23] Avarie: CE? That's new
[17:23] Lkeas: Common Era
[17:23] Blueman:Â Ask it to tell us the name of our location.

[17:23] >Ambiance<: "The Town of Manhattan"
[17:23] Blueman: It is
[17:23] Reven: No... not a normal one...
[17:23] Blueman: What?
[17:23] Gene_Clatic: Oh crud.
[17:23] Shock: Then why..
[17:24] Reven: And Manhattan is not a town... it is a city...
[17:24] Gene_Clatic: Ask it the name of the planet, or dimension.
[17:24] Lkeas: uh oh
[17:24] Blueman: Hmm...
[17:24] Avarie: Hmm.. Could there be multiple Manhattans? Like Springfield?
[17:24] Lkeas: the "town" of manhattan?
[17:24] Reven: Or the one we wanted was a city.
[17:24] Reven: We are in the wrong place.
[17:24] Lkeas: no one said city
[17:24] Reven: Be more specific
[17:24] Wes: "take us to the city of manhattan year 2006 CE"
[17:24] Lkeas: oh geez
[17:24] Lkeas: more paradoxs
[17:24] Reven: We want to go to Terra, America, New York, Manhattan, somewhere secluded and out of site
[17:24] Lkeas: perhaps it would have been better to ask to go to ThirdCity
[17:25] Reven: Be VERY specific
[17:25] Falerin: "You are located in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Sol System. The Town of Manhattan, Montana"
[17:25] Lkeas: since we were supposed to go there anyway
[17:25] Blueman: Aachh
[17:25] Reven: How interesting...
[17:25] Gene_Clatic: Hahaha!
[17:25] Blueman: Wait
[17:25] Reven: We seem to be on the right planet at least.
[17:25] * Leo chuckles.
[17:25] * Reven smiles at Leo's laugh.
[17:25] Reven: Heh.
[17:25] Wes: "take us to the city of manhattan year 2006 CE"
[17:25] Lkeas: no
[17:25] Lkeas: there would be no point
[17:25] Reven: If wes breaks it...
[17:25] Reven: I'm not taking the Paradox.
[17:25] Reven: Not a point.
[17:25] Gene_Clatic: Woah, no!
[17:26] Reven: And nor am I carrying him.
[17:26] Gene_Clatic: Don't do that!
[17:26] Lkeas: we don't even know whether we met Galrick and The Traveller in that year
[17:26] Blueman: Be specific
[17:26] Blueman: What?
[17:26] Blueman: Galrick?
[17:26] Blueman: The Traveller?
[17:26] Reven: What time are you from, Lkeas?
[17:26] Lkeas: my time does not matter
[17:26] Gene_Clatic: Ask it to provide transportation that won't cause paradoxs.
[17:26] Reven: Yes... it does if we are trying to reach that time.
[17:26] Reven: A good idea.
[17:26] Lkeas: what matters is the time where we can make forward progress
[17:27] Reven: Come to think of it...
[17:27] Wes: "list NOVA members"
[17:27] Falerin: "the City of Manhattan Year 2006 CE"
[17:27] Blueman: What
[17:27] Lkeas: ...
[17:27] Voice: "Multiple matches found"
[17:27] Blueman: Uh oh
[17:27] Lkeas: oh thank goodness, at least it wasn't an automatic jump
[17:28] Wes: "list matches"
[17:28] * Avarie nods to Lkeas in agreement.
[17:28] Lkeas: we need to think before we make decisions
[17:28] Reven: Yes
[17:28] Gene_Clatic: I'm about ready to bail.
[17:28] Falerin: "City of Manhattan, Terra"
[17:28] Gene_Clatic: gah
[17:28] Falerin: "City of Manhattan, Terra"
[17:28] Reven: Why not just try to rob someone blind, take their money, and get a train?
[17:28] Reven: We are a fairly large group.
[17:28] Gene_Clatic: This whole trip is frustrating.
[17:28] Shock: uh...
[17:28] Falerin: "City of Manhattan, Terra Prime"
[17:28] Lkeas: Terra Prime?
[17:28] Gene_Clatic: Terra Prime?
[17:28] Lkeas: oh boy..
[17:28] Reven: No paradox generated if we do it that way.
[17:28] Falerin: "City of Manhattan, Terra Prime"
[17:29] Falerin: "City of Manhattan, Magiocracy Prime"
[17:29] Falerin: "City of Manhattan, Magiocracy Prime"
[17:29] Lkeas: why are there two of each listing?
[17:29] Reven: The computer is bugged...
[17:29] Shock: two of each?
[17:29] Blueman: Wait
[17:29] Reven: Wait...
[17:29] Avarie: Not necessarily Reven
[17:29] Reven: Wes, I need you to do something for me...
[17:29] Blueman: Magiocracy Prime?
[17:29] Falerin: "Please select your destination"
[17:29] Wes: "hmm?"
[17:29] Gene_Clatic: Magiocracy Prime? Sounds like my kind of place.
[17:29] Lkeas: ask it why there are two listings for each location
[17:29] Reven: Ask the computer if every world currently has a duplicate...
[17:29] Gene_Clatic: Maybe they have some way to remove those earlier effects.
[17:30] Wes: "does every world currently have a duplicate?"
[17:30] Lkeas: would a Magiocracy be any better than a Technocracy?
[17:30] Reven: I think... possibly the barriers between the multiverses are breaking down.
[17:30] Blueman: Wait
[17:30] Reven: Magiocracy and Technocracies can be cruel... or just... or chaotic or orderly...
[17:30] Voice: Duplicates imply two. Each world has several trillion duplicates
[17:30] Blueman: What?
[17:30] * Blueman gives up and sits down
[17:30] Reven: Ask it why it only read two of each world.
[17:30] Lkeas: ask it WHY it listed two
[17:31] Avarie: That's not surprising if you abide by the theory of parallel universes
[17:31] Wes: "why did you list two of each destination?
[17:31] * Lkeas nods in agreement with Avarie
[17:31] Shock: i see...
[17:31] Shock: it answerd
[17:31] Voice: Listings imply local ambit. Do you wish to expand beyond local ambit?"
[17:31] Reven: Ask it if there is two of each world within our local ambit.
[17:31] Lkeas: hmm. jumps outside of local ambits are harder to make
[17:31] Reven: Seems to be the term for our... parallel world.
[17:31] Shock: there are more then two
[17:31] Gene_Clatic: Bah, i just want to be able to use my magic to get out of here. I'm about ready to curse my vow.
[17:31] Lkeas: if i recall
[17:31] Shock: two shows that there are MANY
[17:31] Reven: WITHIN our local ambit.
[17:32] Wes: "are their two of each world within our local ambit"
[17:32] Voice: "Negative. There is one"
[17:32] Shock: oh...
[17:32] Shock: ok...
[17:32] Reven: Then ask it why two were listed...
[17:32] Shock: fine you win..
[17:32] Reven: In a listing of the local ambit...
[17:32] * Avarie 's brow creases in thought.
[17:32] Voice: "Transport window to Manhattan, Terra is closing"
[17:32] Reven: Hmm.
[17:32] Shock: ?
[17:32] Lkeas: listen. we need a reason to go to Manhattan at all. why do we think we would be any better off there than here?
[17:32] Reven: Cancel it.
[17:32] Falerin: "If you wish to select this location you must do so Now"
[17:32] Shock: wha?
[17:32] Shock: do it
[17:32] Blueman: Do it
[17:32] Shock: now
[17:32] Blueman: Wait
[17:32] Reven: We have no need to go there.
[17:33] Falerin: "The next transport window will not be for 24 hours"
[17:33] Shock: NOW!
[17:33] Blueman: We don't need to
[17:33] Reven: We can go to Thirdcity instead if we wish...
[17:33] Shock: yes we do
[17:33] Blueman: We can go other places
[17:33] Shock: ...
[17:33] Gene_Clatic: We might could find Falerin.
[17:33] Reven: Why, Shock?
[17:33] Shock: Like?
[17:33] Shock: Do it.
[17:33] Lkeas: if we jump into the middle of a Terran city COVERED IN GORE we will be in major trouble
[17:33] Reven: Yes...
[17:33] Shock: no we wont...
[17:33] Blueman: Probably
[17:33] Gene_Clatic: Ask it to cleanse us first.
[17:33] Shock: we can make for a lake
[17:33] Wes: "clean us"
[17:33] Reven: Joy.
[17:33] Blueman: Can it do that?
[17:33] Shock: uhh
[17:33] Gene_Clatic: I don't know.
[17:33] Reven: Gene gets MORE paradox points for that suggestion.
[17:33] Blueman: Smart computer
[17:33] Shock: at the cost of paradox points
[17:33] Avarie: that sounds like cause for paradox points, if putting out a fire did the same.
[17:34] * Avarie nods at Shock.
[17:34] Reven: Putting out a fire involved turbing back the clock...
[17:34] Shock: lets go
[17:34] Shock: now
[17:34] Lkeas: did putting out a fire give us paradox points?
[17:34] Blueman: What are these paradox points?
[17:34] Shock: just take us there!
[17:34] * Blueman gets up
[17:34] Reven: And got me unconscious until Falerin aided us.
[17:34] Lkeas: are we sure Falerin was in Terran Manhattan?
[17:34] Shock: yes
[17:34] Gene_Clatic: Whatever.  I'm getting frustrated with this mess. I coma would be a rest to me.
[17:34] Reven: WHat Falerin?
[17:34] Reven: Our Falerin avatar is dead...
[17:34] Gene_Clatic: I'm pretty sure Lkeas.
[17:34] Blueman: wait
[17:34] Shock: Wes you have to talk to it
[17:34] Blueman: Locate Falerin
[17:34] Lkeas: good question Reven... i thought the Falerin in Manhattan was the one we slaughtered in Immertot
[17:34] Blueman: Tell it to locate Falerin
[17:34] Reven: They were...
[17:35] Wes: "Locate Falerin
[17:35] Gene_Clatic: The Traveler was in the Terra Manhattan I believe.
[17:35] Reven: Hehe.
[17:35] Reven: I need to chill.
[17:35] Lkeas: we passed The Traveller briefly
[17:35] Reven: You guys and your lack of any clue, and jumping to actions without considering...
[17:35] Shock: there are MANY Falerins...
[17:35] Lkeas: but the Falerin we followed to the penthouse was the one from Immertot
[17:35] Reven: Is amusingly chaotic.
[17:35] * Shock sighs
[17:36] Avarie: I'm not sure amusing is the word I would use.
[17:36] Lkeas: anyway
[17:36] Lkeas: we're still not sure 2006 is the right year we need
[17:36] Gene_Clatic: If there are any more paradox points, just give them to me. Better I not accidently touch electronics and sleep than bother with this mess.
[17:36] Lkeas: and whether we were in Terra or Terra Prime anyway
[17:36] Lkeas: i thought Reality said we were somewhere near ThirdCity when we were last in Manhattan
[17:36] Lkeas: that doesn't sound very Terran to me
[17:37] Reven: No...
[17:37] Gene_Clatic: Tell it to take us to the Manhattan closest to the Thirdcity then.
[17:37] Reven: Let me make this clear...
[17:37] * Avarie listens carefully.
[17:37] Reven: Thirdcity is a WORLD
[17:37] Blueman: What is this ThirdCity?
[17:37] Reven: With a city in it called Thirdcity...
[17:37] Shock: This is hopeless
[17:37] Reven: Terra is the Earth you know...
[17:38] Reven: Both Thirdcity and Terra have copies of Manhattan, last I heard...
[17:38] Gene_Clatic: I do remember it saying we were close to it...
[17:38] Lkeas: the computer didn't list a Manhattan in the ThirdCity world though
[17:38] Lkeas: is it outside our local ambit?
[17:38] * Shock sighs again
[17:38] Reven: Maybe...
[17:38] Shock: wes you have fallen silent.
[17:38] Gene_Clatic: Take us to the Manhattan we were last in before this one.
[17:38] Shock: only you can talk to it.
[17:38] Shock: please do so.
[17:38] Blueman: We probably missed our chance to go to Manhattan by now...
[17:38] Reven: No...
[17:38] Shock: No kidding...
[17:38] Lkeas: why do you want to go to the Terran Manhattan so badly?
[17:38] Reven: I think we should make our way on foot...
[17:39] Reven: We are on Terra
[17:39] Reven: In the Sol system
[17:39] Shock: hmm..
[17:39] Reven: We are IN the same nation
[17:39] Shock: we are in manhatten though
[17:39] Blueman: But I thought you said there are duplicates of every world
[17:39] * Blueman gives up and sits down again
[17:39] Reven: We are in the TOWN of Manhattan...
[17:39] * Lkeas sighs
[17:39] Gene_Clatic: We could use the help of Falerin. Ask the computer if we are in the same world that we were last time.
[17:39] Reven: A DIFFERENT Manhattan
[17:39] Shock: oh..
[17:39] Shock: i see...
[17:39] Lkeas: we need a guide...
[17:40] * Avarie studies Wes.
[17:40] Shock: We need wes to wake up...
[17:40] Wes: "i am awake
[17:40] Gene_Clatic: We need a hitchhiker's guide.
[17:40] Wes: "im pondering"
[17:40] Shock: then listen to what we have to say
[17:40] * Blueman mutters I know what you mean
[17:40] * Avarie murmurs something about having forgotten her towel.
[17:40] Shock: we do the thinking for you then, you just say it if you must.
[17:40] Lkeas: we can't afford to jump willy nilly across the multiverse, every time that happens one of us gets affected
[17:41] Falerin: "The next transport window will not be for 24 hours"
[17:41] Falerin: "select now"
[17:41] Shock: do it
[17:41] Shock: now
[17:41] Lkeas: do what, Shock?
[17:41] Gene_Clatic: Ask if it'll have paradox points.
[17:41] Lkeas: of course it will
[17:41] Wes: "Take us to the city of manhatten world Terra year 2006"
[17:41] Shock: it will..
[17:41] Shock: it was 3 for a cross realm
[17:41] Shock: so cant be bad
[17:41] Reven: Tell it to take us somewhere SECLUDED
[17:41] Lkeas: too late...
[17:41] Blueman: Too late
[17:41] Reven: It depends on the number of witnesses...
[17:41] Gene_Clatic: I hope that was specific enough...
[17:41] Reven: Ah well.
[17:41] * Avarie chews her bottom lip.
[17:42] Shock: oh..
[17:42] Lkeas: we aren't clean yet...
[17:42] Reven: You, wes, get the consequences of your hurry
[17:42] Reven: You
[17:42] Shock: Wes...
[17:42] * Blueman stands up and sighs a deep sigh
[17:42] Wes: "you all hurried me!"
[17:42] Blueman: Are we going to Manhattan or what?
[17:42] Lkeas: Shock, you told him to "do it"
[17:42] Shock: ...
[17:42] Shock: yes i did.
[17:42] Shock: as we should.
[17:42] Lkeas: "it" was not very specific
[17:42] Avarie: Look, it's no use placing blame or otherwise.Â
[17:42] Lkeas: i would rather have at least gone to the Magiocracy
[17:42] Avarie: We are stuck in this together, for good or ill.
[17:43] >Ambiance<: Collapsing Wave and Decohering
[17:43] Lkeas: sorry, Avarie...
[17:43] Avarie: Let's at least have a modercrum of respect
[17:43] * Lkeas nods
[17:43] Reven: I will...
[17:43] >Ambiance<: all goes black momentarily thee is a flip and you find yourself....standing infront of a tan brick building
[17:43] Blueman: Well
[17:43] * Reven continues talking without losing his posture.
[17:43] >Ambiance<: a person walking by stares at you momentarily and then shakes his head
[17:44] Blueman: Did it work?
[17:44] Reven: But I'm not carrying either a victim or a single paradox point...
[17:44] >Ambiance<: Non Awakened population Paradox Elevated
[17:44] Lkeas: heh. New Yorkers.
[17:44] Shock: we are butchters
[17:44] Blueman: Uh oh
[17:44] Shock: meat
[17:44] Shock: got it?
[17:44] Voice: You have gained 7 Paradox points.... how shall it be distributed
[17:44] Gene_Clatic: As i said, I'm already stressed enough, going into a coma would be relaxation. If none of you want them then give me the points.
[17:44] Leo: I'll take them...
[17:44] Shock: very bloody butchers
[17:44] Blueman: 7?! That's bad right?
[17:44] * Wes runs to an alley "come on everyone"
[17:44] Shock: no..
[17:44] Elaith: You should give me some, as I am less useful with technology.
[17:44] Shock: we must split them
[17:44] >Ambiance<: there are no skyscrapers anywhere
[17:44] Gene_Clatic: I already have 3, 10 is a coma, give me the 7.
[17:44] Lkeas: we don't know if it will be the same effect, Elaith
[17:45] Shock: that could give you a coma Leo.
[17:45] >Ambiance<: the skyline is definitely not new york city
[17:45] * Blueman follows Wes into the alley
[17:45] Shock: huh?
[17:45] Gene_Clatic: Wait... oh crud...
[17:45] Shock: where are we?
[17:45] Blueman: Wait
[17:45] Gene_Clatic: Where are we now?
[17:45] Leo: I don't care about myself.
[17:45] Voice: You have gained 7 Paradox points.... how shall it be distributed
[17:45] Elaith: Well, either way, I still have none for right now.
[17:45] * Blueman runs out of the alley
[17:45] Lkeas: why oh why didn't anybody specify new york??
[17:45] Leo: This is all just a dream...
[17:45] Shock: fine..take them wes..
[17:45] * Avarie looks about her, desperate to recognize anything.
[17:45] Shock: what?
[17:45] Voice: You have gained 7 Paradox points.... how shall it be distributed
[17:45] Blueman: Uh oh
[17:45] Shock: we said new york I thought...
[17:45] Shock: Ok..
[17:45] Elaith: The user needs to distribute our points...
[17:46] Voice: You have gained 7 Paradox points.... how shall it be distributed
[17:46] Shock: if Leo wants them he can have them.
[17:46] Gene_Clatic: Darn it, we can't have problems with everyone. Don't split them.
[17:46] Shock: Wes?
[17:46] Elaith: Otherwise it will threaten random assignment like last time.
[17:46] Leo: Just give them to me Wes.
[17:46] >Ambiance<: Distributing among all
[17:46] Lkeas: do you really want them, Gene?
[17:46] Shock: ...
[17:46] Lkeas: damn
[17:46] Blueman: What!?
[17:46] Shock: wounderfull
[17:46] Wes: "give 2 to me 1 to shock 1 to Reven 1 to Lkeas 1 to Avarie 1 to Blueman
[17:46] Falerin: Paradox Distributed
[17:46] Shock: too late
[17:46] Lkeas: too late wes
[17:46] Reven: ...
[17:46] Gene_Clatic: Uh oh.
[17:46] Lkeas: now what?
[17:46] Shock: this is bad
[17:46] Reven: Yes well...
[17:46] * Avarie grimaces, waiting for the result.
[17:47] Elaith: I can't carry all of you...
[17:47] Shock: so whats our poison?
[17:47] Shock: Elaith..
[17:47] * Shock laughs
[17:47] * Lkeas flops on the ground
[17:47] Gene_Clatic: You should have listened to me. I already had problems. I was already partially disabled. I hope the effect isn't too bad...
[17:47] Shock: I cant belive im laughing at a time like this..
[17:47] Shock: Lkeas?
[17:47] * Blueman sits down for the third time
[17:47] Voice: paraodx levels raised by .8
[17:47] Shock: Lkeas is a fish?
[17:47] Reven: This is not tolerable...
[17:47] Blueman: What?
[17:47] Blueman: How did?
[17:48] * Avarie takes a seat next to Lkeas, a hand on her shoulder.
[17:48] Lkeas: this is ridiculous. we're lost in some random Manhattan, for who knows what reason, we've lost our guides...
[17:48] Reven: Your foolishness... amusing but it breaks my will...
[17:48] Reven: Hmm...
[17:48] >Ambiance<: there appears to be no obvious after effect
[17:48] * Reven considers what course of action to follow now.
[17:48] Shock: wow..
[17:48] Elaith: I can go find out where we are.
[17:48] Shock: we should split them more often
[17:48] Blueman: I guess it would be too risky to try again?
[17:48] Shock: that worked out
[17:48] * Elaith dashes after the passerby to ask what city we are in *
[17:48] Shock: ..
[17:48] Gene_Clatic: No Shock, they'd add up.
[17:48] Shock: your coverd in meat.
[17:48] Gene_Clatic: Then we'd all be disabled.
[17:48] Wes: "list distributed Paradox Points
[17:49] Lkeas: we can't guarantee we'll ever get a chance like Reven did to get rid of his paradox points
[17:49] Falerin: Reven 10.8
[17:49] Shock: ok..
[17:49] Falerin: Gene 3.8
[17:49] Lkeas: hmm.
[17:49] Falerin: All others 0.8
[17:49] Blueman: Hmm
[17:49] Elaith: Excuse me, kind sir? What city is this?
[17:49] Shock: i see.
[17:49] Shock: ah..
[17:49] Shock: your a butcher.
[17:49] Lkeas: the computer is obviously a great asset, we just have to ask the right questions
[17:49] * Elaith is talking to the man who shook his head *
[17:50] Wes: "Computer standby mode"
[17:50] Shock: Lets find somewhere to wash up
[17:50] Man: looks at Elaith as if he is crazy
[17:50] Gene_Clatic: I've got to get out of here...
[17:50] man: "Manhattan
[17:50] * Lkeas walks up to the man
[17:50] Blueman: Manhattan...
[17:50] Lkeas: is there anywhere we could get a hot shower?
[17:50] Lkeas: we're kinda new here..
[17:50] * Blueman walks up to the man as well
[17:50] * Falerin shakes his head and marches off
[17:50] Blueman: That's one way to put it
[17:51] Falerin: ((*MAN))
[17:51] Falerin: ((GRRRRRRRR))
[17:51] * Wes runs after the man
[17:51] Lkeas: well don't scare him, he might call the cops or something
[17:51] Elaith: Well, at least we know where we are.
[17:51] * Blueman starts to run after Wes before sitting down again
[17:51] Man: "Who the hell are you people stop following me"
[17:51] Wes: "sir do you know if there is anywhere around here called a NOVA building"
[17:51] Shock: eh..
[17:51] * Man Maces Wes
[17:51] Shock: Heh
[17:51] Blueman: Woah
[17:51] Lkeas: well... so much for that.
[17:51] * Blueman stands up
[17:51] * Gene_Clatic goes to another passerby and asks "Sir, I suffer from very bad amnesia, where in the U.S. are we?"
[17:51] * Wes collapses on the ground dropping the laptop
[17:51] Avarie: Do we? As we saw, Manhattan is very vague
[17:51] Shock: You ok wes?
[17:52] Citizen: Hahaha very funny
[17:52] * Blueman runs to retrieve the lap top
[17:52] * Lkeas sighs
[17:52] Shock: Its just mace..why are you on the ground..
[17:52] Wes: "i thought women only carried mace"
[17:52] Citizen: walks awy from gene
[17:52] Shock: no..
[17:52] * Avarie sighs.
[17:52] * Wes grabs the laptop
[17:52] Gene_Clatic: Crud... it didn't work.
[17:52] Blueman: Is it broken?
[17:52] Wes: "no"
[17:53] * Wes sighs "Well we need to find a place to wash up"
[17:53] Blueman: Well, at least we're a little bit lucky
[17:53] Gene_Clatic: Why wouldn't they believe someone about amnesia?
[17:53] * Avarie begins to look in trash cans, trying to locate a newspaper.
[17:53] Wes: "or a hotel"
[17:53] Elaith: Perhaps there is a store nearby where we can ask this stuff and maybe buy some food.
[17:53] * Wes opens the laptop
[17:53] >Ambiance<: the fact that you are all covered in drying diluted blood likely does not instill confidence
[17:53] Lkeas: perhaps we should figure out what this tan brick building is
[17:53] Shock: lets see..
[17:54] Wes: "show map of Manhattan"
[17:54] * Lkeas looks up searching for some identifying signs
[17:54] Shock: Why dont we find some city water
[17:54] Shock: its better then nothing
[17:54] Falerin: A sign proclaims the buiding to be the Riley County Court House
[17:54] Lkeas: uh oh..
[17:54] Lkeas: we'd better get out of here
[17:54] >Ambiance<: the computer accesses a map database
[17:54] Shock: uh...
[17:54] Shock: lets go far away
[17:54] Shock: Wich way is water?
[17:54] * Blueman wipes off as much gore as possible
[17:54] Wes: "show all hotels in area"
[17:54] Gene_Clatic: I'm tempted to just burn these clothes and generate some more, despite my promise.
[17:55] Shock: We cant go to a hotel..
[17:55] Falerin: <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.190142,-96.586818&spn=0.11,0.18)http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.190142,-96.586818&spn=0.11,0.18">http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.190142,-96.586818&spn=0.11,0.18</a>

[17:55] * Blueman remains silent
[17:56] Gene_Clatic: We're in Kansas? Where's Toto?
[17:56] Elaith: Shall we head towards the river, or the state park?
[17:56] Shock: wait..
[17:56] Shock: thats a long way away
[17:56] Gene_Clatic: It's been a while since i've seen that movie. Heh.
[17:56] Wes: "show all hospitals in area"
[17:56] Shock: !!
[17:56] Shock: good plan!
[17:56] * Wes sishs "well time to go with a sick and dieing plan"
[17:57] Shock: hehe
[17:57] Blueman: We don't look injured though
[17:57] Shock: car accident
[17:57] Blueman: Just covered in gore
[17:57] Shock: uhh
[17:57] Shock: hmm
[17:57] Wes: "were covered in blood aint that enough"
[17:57] Gene_Clatic: Nope.
[17:57] Shock: hmm...
[17:57] Gene_Clatic: Nore sores or injuries.
[17:57] Falerin: ((It displays that web page literally))
[17:57] Falerin: ((Use the interface to find local hospitals))
[17:58] * Wes grabs a piece of metal and cuts his arm
[17:58] * Lkeas studies the map
[17:58] Lkeas: there is a creek to the east
[17:58] Shock: Lkeas is a fish man now right? What with the flopping? Can we go to a hospital for that?
[17:58] Shock: Wes?
[17:58] Lkeas: no i'm not a fish, thank you
[17:58] Shock: what the..
[17:58] Lkeas: the creek is away from the population, we would attract less attention there
[17:58] Shock: car accedent
[17:58] Shock: perfect
[17:58] Shock: there is the blood
[17:58] Shock: from his arm
[17:58] Blueman: And we could wash off
[17:58] Shock: go find a car
[17:58] * Wes goes around and cuts everyone a bit
[17:58] >Ambiance<: a small blue lightning bolt appears off to the side and a man steps out of it looking arround him absently before darting across to the Court House
[17:59] * Avarie steps away from Wes
[17:59] Lkeas: what the?
[17:59] Wes: "there we look the part"
[17:59] Avarie: There's no way that will account for the amount of blood
[17:59] Blueman: What was...
[17:59] Shock: lets hot wire one to get in and beat it up some so we ca...
[17:59] * Lkeas runs after the man
[17:59] Lkeas: wait!
[17:59] Shock: who is...
[17:59] * Leo follows Lkeas.
[17:59] Blueman: Wait
[17:59] >Ambiance<: the man stops and sniffs the air
[17:59] Blueman: You two are covered in blood
[17:59] * Avarie jogs after Lkeas.
[17:59] * Wes grabs Lkeas
[17:59] Man: (without turning arround) "You are literally covered in blood. I can smell it"
[17:59] Lkeas: and you just appeared out of nowhere
[18:00] Lkeas: i'd say we're about even
[18:00] Wes: "get away!"
[18:00] Man: (without turning arround) "That is not a particularly wise way to appproach my kind"
[18:00] Shock: uh...
[18:00] Lkeas: your kind?
[18:00] Lkeas: are you an undead?
[18:00] * Wes sighs " back away beast"
[18:00] Shock: my kind?
[18:00] * Elaith takes off his coat hoping his shirt is less blood-spattered before walking up *
[18:00] Blueman: What
[18:00] * Avarie studies the man.
[18:00] * Lkeas backs a few steps away
[18:00] Wes: "i know your the beast"
[18:00] Man: (without turning arround) "Undead... yes...."
[18:00] Man: (without turning arround) "I am kindred"
[18:00] * Blueman walks slowly towards the man
[18:01] Shock: what is this place...
[18:01] Lkeas: kindred?
[18:01] Wes: "computer scan Lifeform
[18:01] * Wes points the computer at the man
[18:01] >Ambiance<: Lifeform is Kindred
[18:01] Shock: ok..
[18:01] Lkeas: what is a kindred?
[18:01] Wes: "more information on Kindred
[18:01] Leo: Well that was helpful...
[18:01] * Blueman at a safe distancce walks to the side of the man
[18:02] * Lkeas addresses the back of the man's head
[18:02] * Avarie whispers to Lkeas, "I think I've heard of it before. Something to do with vampires, if I'm not mistaken."
[18:02] Lkeas: you... you're not coming after us though..
[18:02] Lkeas: do you not crave?
[18:02] Wes: "computer more information on Kindred"
[18:02] Lkeas: vampires...
[18:03] Gene_Clatic: Listen guy, what are you here for?
[18:03] Shock: how do you..
[18:03] Falerin: "Yes... I am a vampire.... and I am not coming after you.. because I am in control of my thirst"
[18:03] Shock: I see...
[18:03] Shock: !!
[18:03] Lkeas: oh thank Lorithia
[18:03] Man: others would not be so... controlled
[18:03] Shock: Vampire town..
[18:03] Blueman: What?
[18:03] Elaith: What is your name by the way?
[18:03] Shock: and we are blood coverd
[18:03] Blueman: Vampire?
[18:03] Blueman: Thirst?
[18:03] Blueman: What is going on?
[18:03] Wes: "well Kindred tell us your name and purpose here"
[18:04] Shock: He lives here
[18:04] * Blueman nears the point where he will be able to see the man's face
[18:04] * Man turns arround he has long brown hair feathered to each side and is dressed in black pinstripe suit
[18:04] Gene_Clatic: We could use some help, whoever you are.
[18:04] Falerin: "My name is Matthew Johansen"
[18:04] * Blueman walks back to the group
[18:04] Blueman: Well then...
[18:04] Wes: "and your purpose here?"
[18:04] Lkeas: pleased to meet you, my name is Lkeas
[18:04] * Avarie stands beside Lkeas, ready to fight or flee, should the situation arise.
[18:04] Lkeas: i would offer my hand, but... it's a bit covered at the moment
[18:04] Matthew: "Clearly"
[18:04] Leo: It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm known as Leo Biaxomus.
[18:04] Elaith: Well, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Elaith Craulnober. You may call me Elaith.
[18:04] Blueman: You can call me Blue
[18:05] Lkeas: might i ask where we might be able to wash up?
[18:05] * Blueman offers his hand, despite the gore
[18:05] Wes: "Im Wes or Eric whichever you please"
[18:05] Gene_Clatic: I am Gene.
[18:05] Matthew: "How exactly did you get covered in so much gore?"
[18:05] Wes: "uhhh long story"
[18:05] Lkeas: we... we escaped from a realm called Immertot..
[18:05] Blueman: What he said
[18:05] Matthew: ...immertot...
[18:05] Lkeas: it is a terrifying place
[18:06] Wes: "lets just stick with Beasts and dead people and undead"
[18:06] * Matthew frowns severely
[18:06] Gene_Clatic: Uh, a beast possessed our dreams, created a pool of blood, and swam in it.
[18:06] * Matthew gestures and the blood literally vanishes from all of you
[18:06] Blueman: Well
[18:06] Wes: "thank you"
[18:06] Blueman: That was
[18:06] Lkeas: thank you
[18:06] Leo: Thank you.
[18:06] Blueman: Um
[18:06] Blueman: Thanks?
[18:06] * Avarie relaxs a little.
[18:06] Elaith: Thank you very much. *Elaith puts his coat back on*
[18:06] Avarie: My thanks
[18:06] Lkeas: you have heard of Immertot?
[18:06] Gene_Clatic: You are pretty gifted in magic. Might I ask how?
[18:06] Matthew: "Why were you in Caelestia"
[18:07] Gene_Clatic: We were pulled in.
[18:07] Wes: "we were pulled into there"
[18:07] Lkeas: we aren't sure, exactly, we have been shifting between realms for some time now
[18:07] Lkeas: there was a power surge in Immertot forest
[18:07] Matthew: "That is impossible that realm was rendered inert"
[18:07] Wes: "we came here because of this computer"
[18:07] Leo: This dream gets stranger by the minute.
[18:07] Lkeas: it was The Traveller's doing
[18:07] Matthew: "I was part of the group that did so...."
[18:07] Gene_Clatic: Magic seems uncommon in this area. You've gotten my curiosity Matthew.
[18:07] Lkeas: you rendered Immertot inert?
[18:07] Wes: "you were with Falerin?"
[18:07] Matthew: "Whois this Traveler"
[18:08] Matthew: "Yes I was with Falerin"
[18:08] Gene_Clatic: The beast and Morgan came back Matthew, if those names ring a bell.
[18:08] Lkeas: he was an avatar of the god of evil, of the farpoint director
[18:08] * Matthew scowls
[18:08] Wes: "you were one of the ones who chased the original Beast into somewwhere and killed him?"
[18:08] Gene_Clatic: A new beast actually.
[18:08] Matthew: "Falerin has been sending multiple avatar now?"
[18:08] Lkeas: apparently
[18:08] Matthew: "How... typical"
[18:08] Matthew: "Playing by the rules is never enough for the god of evil"
[18:08] * Avarie studies Matthew very carefully.
[18:09] Lkeas: The Traveller attempted to pull the energy from a pocket of creation out of LORE and out of The'Galin's reach
[18:09] Lkeas: i guess it ended up in Immertot
[18:09] Matthew: "The'Galin?"
[18:09] Matthew: "Who is The'Galin?"
[18:09] Lkeas: the Uncreator, the Devourer...
[18:09] Gene_Clatic: A monster beyond all others.
[18:09] Wes: "computer information The'Galin"
[18:09] Leo: The Devourer.
[18:09] Lkeas: a man who was made immortal by Lorithia's love
[18:09] >Ambiance<: the Computer pulls up a rapid series of screens which flash by in a few seconds
[18:10] * Matthew frowns
[18:10] Shock: woah...
[18:10] Wes: "okay i got some of that"
[18:10] Matthew: "Another world.... besides....."
[18:10] Matthew: "This LORE"
[18:10] Wes: "computer information NOVA"
[18:10] Blueman: What is NOVA?
[18:10] Lkeas: have you not heard of LORE?
[18:10] Matthew: ((The computer displays NOVA's myspace page))
[18:11] Matthew: "Not outside of a computer game"
[18:11] Blueman: Hmm...
[18:11] Shock: i see...
[18:11] Matthew: "But I am not suprised to be honest that the game is a front for something more profound"
[18:11] Lkeas: so we've seen
[18:11] Matthew: "There is nothing new under this sun... no any other"
[18:11] Matthew: "I have buisness in the court house"
[18:12] Blueman: What is that supposed to mean?
[18:12] Lkeas: do you work there?
[18:12] Matthew: "Wait here I will return shortly"
[18:12] Shock: Thanks for cleaning us off.
[18:12] Lkeas: alright
[18:12] Lkeas: thank you for your help
[18:12] Elaith: By the way...
[18:12] Elaith: What time is it?
[18:12] * Avarie tilts her head to the side, at his remark.
[18:12] Wes: "okay we will be here probly"
[18:12] * Matthew dashes quickly over to the court house and walks TRHOUGH the front door
[18:12] Shock: woah..
[18:12] * Lkeas chuckles
[18:12] Wes: "whoa"
[18:12] Blueman: It's, uh... good to meet you
[18:12] Blueman: So...
[18:12] Shock: Vampires are cool
[18:12] Blueman: Do we trust him?
[18:12] Shock: Sure why not
[18:12] Gene_Clatic: Using the door is pointless if you don't open it.
[18:12] Avarie: I think... I've heard that phrase somewhere before.
[18:13] * Avarie shrugs.
[18:13] Blueman: What phrase?
[18:13] Lkeas: i'm surprised he didn't know who The'Galin was..
[18:13] Avarie: "There is nothing new under this sun... nor any other."
[18:13] Wes: "computer information Matthew Johansen"
[18:13] Blueman: It has people?
[18:13] Wes: "bout to find out"
[18:14] Blueman: Well as long as we're waiting here
[18:14] * Gene_Clatic sits down and rests.
[18:14] * Blueman sits down
[18:14] Blueman: So...
[18:14] Blueman: I really haven't gotten to know anyone
[18:14] Blueman: You can call me Blue
[18:14] * Lkeas takes the opportunity to look around the area
[18:14] Matthew: Patrick Johansen. Analog of Micah Matthew Johansen who took an alternate name when he permanetly relocated to this world. He now passes of as his brother. Was reported killed in another ambit but then mysteriously reappeared. Is credited by some as being the Balance Wyrm.
[18:14] Voice: Matthew Patrick Johansen. Analog of Micah Matthew Johansen who took an alternate name when he permanetly relocated to this world. He now passes of as his brother. Was reported killed in another ambit but then mysteriously reappeared. Is credited by some as being the Balance Wyrm.
[18:15] Blueman: Wait
[18:15] Matthew: ((The first one was the script being an idiot ignore)))
[18:15] Blueman: If he passes off as his brother
[18:15] Blueman: Was that him?
[18:15] * Matthew appears next to Wes and stares down at the computer
[18:15] Blueman: What the
[18:15] Matthew: "How touching...."
[18:16] * Lkeas looks back, startled
[18:16] Wes: "well he is credited by some as being a balance wyrm so i suppose he....is right behind me"
[18:16] Lkeas: i'll never get used to people apparating
[18:16] Shock: wow
[18:16] Matthew: "If you look further you will find that I am tenured professor of Archaeology at the University of Cairo as well"
[18:16] Shock: the computer is awsome
[18:16] Lkeas: very impressive
[18:16] Matthew: "It ought to be...."
[18:16] Shock: i see.
[18:16] Matthew: "I designed it"
[18:16] Wes: "really?"
[18:17] Lkeas: you designed this computer?
[18:17] Shock: the computer?
[18:17] * Avarie blinks in surprise
[18:17] Wes: "so your a leader in electronics too?"
[18:17] Matthew: "I see the god of evil has no problems appropriating technology and modifying it for his own use...."
[18:17] Lkeas: hmm.
[18:17] Lkeas: how do you know Falerin?
[18:17] Gene_Clatic: He knew the avatar of Immertot Lkeas.
[18:17] Wes: "lkeas he was one of the original group who lead the beast and killed him remember!"
[18:17] Matthew: "I lived in Caelestia for a few hundred years.... served as Cleric Mage under Aslyn"
[18:17] Matthew: "It was a blast..."
[18:18] Matthew: "Later on though I was drawn back in.. particularly into Immertot...."
[18:18] Shock: killed who? what group?
[18:18] Matthew: "John and I... put an end to that beast"
[18:18] Lkeas: i see..
[18:18] Wes: "well good job on the computer"
[18:18] Shock: huh?
[18:18] Shock: but...
[18:18] Gene_Clatic: Matthew, what can you tell us about the beast? This new one has given us much trouble.
[18:18] Matthew: "I am not wholely suprised that another returned"
[18:19] Matthew: "As we had discovered another one in a roman village in 1040 when we visited there"
[18:19] Wes: "you defeated the other one could you help us defeat the new one if possible"
[18:19] Matthew: "Their race seems quite efficacious at what they do, unfortunatley they also apparently learn with time"
[18:20] Lkeas: why would a beast paint "755" onto a wall...?
[18:20] Matthew: "Where is Falerin now... why is he not with you...."
[18:20] Shock: He..
[18:20] Wes: "he is..."
[18:20] Shock: well
[18:20] Lkeas: his Avatar in Immertot..
[18:20] Gene_Clatic: Falerin was released.
[18:20] Shock: one of him died
[18:20] Wes: "dead im afraid"
[18:20] Lkeas: not dead
[18:20] Matthew: "I could not begin to imagine why a beast would paint 755"
[18:20] Lkeas: he's joined the undead of the forest
[18:20] Wes: "as did Caliban"
[18:20] Wes: "and the undead tried to KILL US!"
[18:20] Lkeas: the beast got him
[18:20] Matthew: "Thats impossible"
[18:20] Gene_Clatic: He no longer slaves for the god.
[18:20] Avarie: I'm not sure that's entirely true, Lkeas.
[18:21] Lkeas: the god of evil released his protection on his avatar..
[18:21] Matthew: "He is a servitor and avatar of the god. His being raised as undead..... is not....possible "
[18:21] Gene_Clatic: The god of evil finally granted his wish, at my request.
[18:21] Shock: the undead only attack when under control. who was controling the,?
[18:21] Matthew: "I am not entirely sure that the god could even allow that if he wanted...."
[18:21] Gene_Clatic: He was released from service.
[18:21] Shock: hmm...
[18:21] Shock: yes..
[18:21] Wes: "matthew does this thing run on a battery or does it have an unlimited charger?"
[18:21] Lkeas: then is there hope for the Avatar yet?
[18:21] Matthew: "He could allow him to die"
[18:22] Matthew: "But his sould would be immediately reclaimed"
[18:22] Wes: "wait he never joined the undead"
[18:22] Matthew: "Absorbed back into his source"
[18:22] Shock: I see..
[18:22] Wes: "his body and Calibans were burned some how "
[18:22] Gene_Clatic: Ah, that is what I requested for him.
[18:22] Matthew: "His corpse might be raisable
[18:22] Gene_Clatic: That is good to know.
[18:22] Shock: Not his soul
[18:22] Gene_Clatic: His corpse was burned.
[18:22] Matthew: "But...it would be mindless"
[18:22] Shock: its in Falerin now
[18:22] Lkeas: not quite, Gene.. you asked for release, but Matthew said his soul returned back to the source
[18:22] Gene_Clatic: Exactly Lkeas.
[18:23] Gene_Clatic: That was how he would get release.
[18:23] Lkeas: if the deity brings him back, i'm sure the avatar would not be too happy...
[18:23] Wes: "hey Matthew is there a bathroom in the courthouse i can use?"
[18:23] Matthew: "It is nearly 8 pm"
[18:23] Matthew: "THe courthouse closed a few hours ago"
[18:23] Wes: "why did you go in then?"
[18:24] * Lkeas glances at wes
[18:24] Lkeas: that's probably none of our business..
[18:24] Matthew: "I was retrieving a document from vital records...tracking someone"
[18:24] Gene_Clatic: Lkeas, he no longer bares his burden. If Falerin gets another, I should think that he will use a different part of himself.
[18:24] Shock: i see.
[18:24] Wes: "your right"
[18:24] Matthew: "That computer is mixing it's ambits you know"
[18:24] Wes: "but i really gotta use a bathroom"
[18:24] Lkeas: how so?
[18:24] Shock: Ambits?
[18:24] Matthew: "The reality where those things it told you is true, is ThirdCity"
[18:24] Matthew: "We are not currently in that Reality but in a paralell"
[18:25] Shock: ah...
[18:25] Shock: Is everyone here a Kindred or just you?
[18:25] Matthew: "Then again if it processes cross ambit and you just demand information"
[18:25] Matthew: "It probably makes no distinction"
[18:25] Lkeas: heh.
[18:25] * Matthew looks at shock
[18:25] Matthew: "Mu"
[18:25] Shock: Mu?
[18:25] Lkeas: what is in ThirdCity? why would someone tell us to go there?
[18:26] Leo: It means it's not important Shock.
[18:26] Matthew: "
[18:26] Matthew: "Not it means the question is flawed"
[18:26] Shock: I was just woundering..there is nothing like there where i am from, only stories.
[18:26] Shock: ok..
[18:26] Matthew: "He asked is it just me... or is it everyone"
[18:26] Matthew: "That choice omits the other posibilities that exist"
[18:27] Matthew: "It is neither just me... nor is it everyone"
[18:27] Shock: I mean are the natives to this city Kindred?
[18:27] * Avarie shakes her head in mock dispair.
[18:27] Lkeas: of course, there are probably mixtures of several beings
[18:27] Matthew: "There are kindred other then me in this city"
[18:27] Lkeas: within the population
[18:27] Matthew: "I do not know who the local prince is..."
[18:27] Wes: "question the computer mentioned East kindred and west kindred which one are you or are you neither?"
[18:27] Matthew: "I tend to ignore those social conventions"
[18:28] * Elaith finishes adjusting his time to the time Matthew said *
[18:28] Matthew: "Occidental"
[18:28] Matthew: "The oriental kindred are... quite different"
[18:28] Matthew: "Though I am in fact more then either"
[18:29] Wes: "well why are we just standing in the middle of manhatten we need somewhere to rest."
[18:29] Shock: I suppose.
[18:29] Wes: "Do you know anywhere we can stay i dont think any of us have any money"
[18:29] * Lkeas is still wondering about ThirdCity
[18:30] Elaith: I have a little, but I don't know if my card even works here, and I only have 5 in cash...
[18:30] Shock: 5 what?
[18:30] Elaith: US dollars.
[18:30] Shock: Mabye your currency is worth alot..oh yeah..your from the NYC.
[18:31] Matthew: "If you need funds I can assist you"
[18:31] Wes: "we're all weary from this dimension hoppping we went from Immertot to Manhatten in montana to here"
[18:31] * Matthew pulls out a platinum mastercard which he hands to Lkeas
[18:32] Wes: "why does she get the card?"
[18:32] Lkeas: sweet
[18:32] >Ambiance<: the Second Lkeas touches it it becomes imprinted with her full name
[18:32] Shock: Wow. We met a very nice person.
[18:32] Gene_Clatic: Woah!
[18:32] Avarie: Thank you sir
[18:32] Lkeas: yes, thank you!
[18:32] Matthew: "Also you seem to have.. magical backlash... associated with you"
[18:32] Matthew: "All of you"
[18:33] Lkeas: you mean the paradox?
[18:33] Gene_Clatic: Yeah, I've gotten rather bad luck...
[18:33] * Avarie nods conformation
[18:33] Wes: "magical backlash?"
[18:33] Elaith: Yes, how did you know?
[18:33] Matthew: "You know the term paradox?"
[18:33] Matthew: "How peculiar"
[18:33] Lkeas: we've been accumulating it every time we use your computer
[18:33] Wes: "yes the computer mentioned it"
[18:33] Matthew: at anyrate
[18:33] Gene_Clatic: It was your computer.
[18:33] * Matthew concentrates and a warm light suffuses the group
[18:33] Matthew: I have taken the paradox into myself and redirected it elsewhere
[18:34] Elaith: Thank you very much!
[18:34] Gene_Clatic: Nice, now we have two registered users without problems.
[18:34] Lkeas: you have done many things for us
[18:34] Avarie: Once again, my thanks
[18:34] Wes: "we owe you a lot this computer has been very helpful we'd all been dead without it and your helpful too!"
[18:34] *** Rimblade has signed off IRC (Vanished: I like quitting. Is that wrong?).
[18:34] Leo: Thank you.
[18:34] Lkeas: is there something you wish us to do?
[18:34] * Shock says jokeingly-Can you follow us around and do this everytime we mess up. We mess up alot by the way.
[18:34] Matthew: I am sure that if I have need of a favor and opportunity to call upon you I will keep you in mind...
[18:35] Matthew: "Now is there someplace you desire to go?"
[18:35] Lkeas: we're not entirely sure... that's how we ended up here in the first place
[18:35] Gene_Clatic: We wish to find an avatar of Falerin.
[18:35] Lkeas: indecision
[18:35] Wes: "somewhere we we can sleep and has food and entertainment"
[18:35] Avarie: If we knew what we were being gathered for, perhaps we could answer that more accurately.
[18:35] Matthew: That is generic as hell
[18:35] Shock: Heh
[18:35] Elaith: Is there anyplace you think we should go to get information and assistance?
[18:35] Wes: "no shock urging me that got us here"
[18:35] Lkeas: yes, hell is rather generic isn't it.
[18:35] Gene_Clatic: He was in some version of Manhattan New York, but we don't know which.
[18:35] * Shock sighs
[18:36] * Matthew closes his eyes you feel a brief buzzing at the edge of your mind as if something is looking at your surface thoughts
[18:36] Shock: Its better then our normal NYC, we would be under arest there.
[18:36] * Lkeas thinks about ThirdCity
[18:36] * Elaith is thinking of the hot chocolate he left behind to catch up vaguely as well as Machiavelli *
[18:37] * Avarie wishes she had some answers to all these "odd" occurances.
[18:37] * Gene_Clatic wishes he was back at Odeycia.
[18:37] * Wes thinks about all the uses of the computer
[18:37] * Matthew snaps his fingers and a five pointed blue lighting bolt appears
[18:37] * Shock is thinking about what the others must be thinking about.
[18:37] Shock: woah
[18:37] * Leo thinks this is one weird dream.
[18:37] * Matthew vanishes
[18:38] Shock: Huh?
[18:38] Shock: Uh oh..
[18:38] Wes: "what?"
[18:38] >Ambiance<: The lightning bolt hangs there and expands portal like
[18:38] Shock: go in?
[18:38] Elaith: Well, time to go again.
[18:38] Matthew: (voice) That will take you someplace useful
[18:38] Shock: Better then no where
[18:38] * Elaith goes in*
[18:38] * Avarie peers into the portal.
[18:38] Matthew: (voice) Good luck
[18:38] * Shock jumps in
[18:38] * Wes steps in
[18:38] Lkeas: thank you once again, Matthew
[18:38] * Leo enters the portal.
[18:38] Avarie: Thank you once again
[18:38] * Wes still holding the computer
[18:38] * Gene_Clatic goes through.
[18:38] * Lkeas follows after the group
[18:38] * Avarie smiles at Lkeas
[18:39] * Avarie steps into the portal
[18:39] Lkeas: hope this credit card works, wherever we're going...
[18:39] >Ambiance<: END OF SESSION
