Prince of Washington DC

From Caelwiki

[15:16] >Ambiance<: Drip

[15:16] >Ambiance<: Drip

[15:16] Fiona: Um... Is there a leak?

[15:16] Rimblade: Chinese drip torture. It's come for us.

[15:17] *** Darien has joined #darkabode.

[15:17] Fiona: I didn't do it this time...

[15:17] Rimblade: I bet it was that guy.

[15:17] Darien: Where am I

[15:17] Kazuma: Caelestia

[15:17] Rimblade: You're in the home of Falerin, God of Caelestia. You need to pay me a 50 gold door fee.

[15:17] Kazuma: Falerin's abode, to be exact

[15:18] Kazuma: ignore him

[15:18] Kazuma: he's uh...crazy

[15:18] * Rimblade mutters something about Kazuma's lineage and sneevils.

[15:18] Darien: God is it

[15:18] Darien: Abode is it

[15:18] Darien: Falerin... falerin... that name

[15:18] Kazuma: yes indeed

[15:18] Dale: This is the not so humble abode of the Caelestian god of Evil, Falerin.

[15:18] Kazuma: He's the god of Evil, if it helps

[15:18] Darien: Armenia

[15:18] Kazuma: who?

[15:18] Darien: Spareribs

[15:19] Darien: Green Dye

[15:19] * iago looks up from his book, intrigued at Darien

[15:19] Rimblade: ....

[15:19] Deathbringer: Hmm?

[15:19] Darien: I am the prince

[15:19] Rimblade: Oh, right, that.

[15:19] Darien: I demand you return me to my domicile at once

[15:19] Darien: The resultant conflict will be quite cross unless that happens

[15:19] Rimblade: Ask The'Galin, if you will. We dunno how.

[15:19] Kazuma: eh, where is your domicile?

[15:19] Darien: The Gallon?

[15:20] Darien: The Galeon?

[15:20] Rimblade: Yeah, total badass Uncreator and Devourer of LORE, and whatnot.

[15:20] Darien: What is this idiocy

[15:20] Kazuma: th-gal-in

[15:20] Rimblade: He's awesomely cool.

[15:20] Darien: I am the kindred prince of Washington DC

[15:20] Kazuma: shut up Rimblade

[15:20] Kazuma: DC? from Terra?

[15:20] Dale: ThirdCity?

[15:20] Darien: You're greek?

[15:20] Fiona: I've never heard of that place...

[15:20] Deathbringer: Your a bit far from Washington...

[15:21] * Rimblade chuckles.

[15:21] Fiona: Many worlds away.

[15:21] Kazuma: whole nother universe

[15:21] * iago produces a small book called "A Visitor's Guide to D.C." and flips it over to Fiona

[15:21] Rimblade: Huh.

[15:22] Darien: kindynos

[15:22] Dale: Darien, are you from ThirdCity?

[15:22] Kazuma: ((telepathy? he never told us his name))

[15:22] Dale: (( >_> ))

[15:22] Darien: prigkipas

[15:22] Darien: brykolakas

[15:23] * Fiona looks over the book. "Hmm... The place looks pretty, aside from that smog..."

[15:23] Rimblade: Ohhh.

[15:23] Rimblade: I suggest we give him tea.

[15:23] iago: they have cherry trees... in some iterations...

[15:24] Darien: My domicile? My Domicile is the Smithsonian

[15:24] Darien: I am not from Smith's City

[15:24] Darien: I am from the SMITHSONIAN

[15:24] * iago looks intrigued as the word "Smithsonian" rings a bell

[15:24] Darien: quite different

[15:24] Rimblade: Do you have any aeroplanes?

[15:24] Kazuma: which one? There's one for natural history, one for art/

[15:25] Kazuma: some others

[15:25] Darien: The Magi Control Art

[15:25] Darien: Ours is Natural History

[15:25] Kazuma: I see

[15:26] Darien: Return me forthwith!

[15:26] * iago looks a bit confused.. "you literally *live* in a museum?"

[15:26] Kazuma: What year do you come from? There are many diffrent terras from diffrent timelines

[15:26] * Darien stares at Kazuma

[15:26] Kazuma: What?

[15:26] Darien: You are one of "them" then

[15:26] Kazuma: one of who?

[15:26] Darien: Infernal Diabolists

[15:26] Deathbringer: A what?

[15:26] Kazuma: no, not me

[15:26] Fiona: He is?

[15:26] Darien: Play with things they belong not playing

[15:26] Darien: Barriers

[15:26] Darien: Realities

[15:27] Darien: Einstein Rosen Bridges

[15:27] Deathbringer: Oh...

[15:27] Kazuma: gah, when will I learn to shut my mouth?

[15:27] Darien: They like Wykipedia

[15:27] Fiona: He can't even cast magic last time I checked...

[15:27] Rimblade: Ahhhh.

[15:27] Fiona: ((I must be one of them. 0_0))

[15:27] Darien: I own the Museum

[15:27] Darien: Of course I live in it

[15:27] Darien: I am the PRINCE

[15:28] iago: I would call you a curator... how are you different?

[15:28] * Kazuma looks towards Fiona and wispers something.

[15:28] Kazuma: He's nuts

[15:28] Darien: The only thing I add to the Museum collection

[15:28] Darien: is corpses

[15:28] Darien: And they prefer those to be much older

[15:28] Fiona: Corpses...? Why?

[15:28] Deathbringer: No artifacts?

[15:29] Darien: The Curator works only during the day

[15:29] Darien: Well.. there has been some of those but they are privater

[15:29] Darien: they are not shown

[15:29] Darien: which hardly makes them worthwhile to the museum doesn't it

[15:29] Rimblade: Do they possess unspeakable power?

[15:29] Kazuma: yes

[15:29] Kazuma: and no

[15:29] Darien: I do like the antiquity

[15:29] Darien: That is why I stay there

[15:29] *** Zeltan has joined #darkabode.

[15:29] *** Mode change "+v Zeltan" for channel #darkabode by Reality.

[15:29] Darien: Antiquity reminds me of home

[15:29] Deathbringer: I would like to go to this museum someday...

[15:30] Fiona: We really don't know how you get here though...

[15:30] Darien: Your wish

[15:30] Darien: Is my command

[15:30] iago: My friend, how old are you?

[15:30] Darien: "Nonsense"

[15:30] Darien: "Patently"

[15:30] * Darien takes out a small cell phone

[15:30] Darien: Beam me up Scotty

[15:30] Dale: (( HAHAHAHA ))

[15:30] * Kazuma craks up

[15:31] Kazuma: ((cracks*))

[15:31] FemaleVoice: My name is not Scotty.

[15:31] FemaleVoice: Negotiating Coordinates

[15:32] Deathbringer: So... how are you going to take us to this museum?

[15:32] Darien: #announce Insanity and Tea? Maddness and Crumpets? Blood and Scones? Had your fill yet? No? Well join the all new Epic. Now with extra Riboflaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavinclavin!

[15:32] Rimblade: Huzzah! Madness goes quite well with pastries, I ken!

[15:32] Fiona: Hmm... To go or not...?

[15:32] Kazuma: you're coming along, Remeber what I said last time?

[15:33] Fiona: ... Fine.

[15:33] * iago puts down his book... this should be delicious

[15:33] * Zeltan stops his quill for a while. "I'm afraid I can't make it...headache is starting to get to me..."

[15:34] Darien: Excuses shall daunt the pathetic

[15:34] Deathbringer: I am coming. Sounds like an interesting place.

[15:34] Darien: And the half assed shall inherit the kingdom of Lot

[15:34] * Zeltan sighs.

[15:34] * iago chuckles

[15:35] Rimblade: Blessed are the cheesemakers.

[15:35] FemaleVoice: Target Acquired.

[15:35] Rimblade: For they shall inhibit their girth.

[15:35] FemaleVoice: Prepare for Decoherence/Recoherence.

[15:35] FemaleVoice: Accessing Delphi

[15:36] >Ambiance<: There is a flip and those not actively resisting are yanked from the world of Caelestia to some alternate Terra somewhere.

[15:36] >Ambiance<: Resumes in #Epic

[15:38] *** Kira has left #darkabode.

[15:38] * Zeltan resisted the forces trying pull him.

[15:38] *** Rimblade has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).

[15:39] Mariel: An interesting man

[15:39] Mariel: You deliberately isolate yourself

[15:39] Mariel: That is a peculiar coping strategy

[15:39] Zeltan: Indeed. I was just going throgh some logs.

[15:40] Mariel: So you are living in the past?

[15:40] *** Rimblade has joined #darkabode.

[15:40] *** Mode change "+v Rimblade" for channel #darkabode by Reality.

[15:40] Mariel: Life in the past offers very few rewards

[15:41] Mariel: and disunity offers many doors

[15:42] Mariel: I do hope you do not regret your tendencies in the future

[15:42] * Mariel Vanishes

[15:42] *** Darien has left #darkabode.

[15:43] * Zeltan sighs and continues with his writings, which has covered a good half of the book.

[16:24] *** GT has joined #darkabode.

[16:25] * GT enters room

[16:25] GT: "Greetings friends."

[16:25] Kazuma: ((Epic))

[16:27] GT: ((what?))

[16:29] *** Kazuma is now known as Kaz|food.

[16:32] * GT looks around "quiet, unusually quiet."

[16:35] *** Dale has joined #darkabode.

[16:35] *** Mode change "+v Dale" for channel #darkabode by Reality.

[16:38] GT: "Greetings."

[16:43] GT: ((man, why is everyone so quiet now?))

[16:44] >Ambiance<: A large klaxon is heard throughout the abode

[16:44] >Ambiance<: The abode begins to be filled with hissing wind

[16:46] *** Mariel has joined #darkabode.

[16:46] * Mariel looks about in alarm

[16:46] Mariel: A building paradox

[16:46] GT: "What is that?"

[16:46] Mariel: Something is not correct

[16:46] GT: "Yeah."

[16:46] GT: "I hope that we won't be attacked."

[16:47] GT: "Even though I would like to bash in some of The'Galin's minion's skulls."

[16:47] GT: "Everyone, get ready."

[16:47] * Paladin_Of_Souls fades in at a corner of the abode. "One would think paradox might be something chaotic enough to pique your interest, not set you to alarm, Mariel."

[16:48] * GT jumps "aah!"

[16:48] GT: "Don't do that!"

[16:50] Paladin_Of_Souls: "You would do well to learn that I do as I wish unless the Farpoint decrees otherwise, given my freedoms."

[16:51] GT: "I am on high alert here."

[16:54] GT: "Something's not right here, and I don't know what it is."

[16:56] *** Kaz|food is now known as Kazuma.

[16:57] Mariel: Paradox of a Temporal nature is never positive when mortals are doing it

[16:57] Mariel: They never are careful enough about the results their actions bring

[16:57] Mariel: They cannot change the past for the positive without paying a price

[16:57] Mariel: and rarely do they take the price on themselves

[16:57] Mariel: Which is what they should do

[16:57] Mariel: No they just make withdrawls

[16:58] Mariel: Without ever making deposits

[16:58] Mariel: so we all foot the bill

[16:58] GT: "So what you're saying is that the people who cause this don't blame themselves?"

[16:58] Mariel: Which is precisely why Chronomancy is so highly restricted by the Farpoint

[16:58] Mariel: Paradox incidentally is not at all about chaos

[16:58] GT: "I see."

[16:58] Mariel: Almost always a temporal paradox is caused by people trying to ENFORCE their idea

[16:59] Mariel: of a better Order

[16:59] Mariel: on the universe

[16:59] GT: "Like The'Galin..."

[17:01] GT: "Am I right?"

[17:01] Fiona: ((The'Galin is a god.))

[17:02] GT: ((His followers at the least...)

[17:06] *** Fulcan-[Detached] has signed off IRC (Interred: ).

[17:15] >Ambiance<: A howling vortex appears

[17:16] Voice: Return Mariel. I guarantee caelestian protection only if you do not interfere. The choice is not to be altered by your presence

[17:16] Mariel: "I see"

[17:17] * Mariel vanishes

[17:17] *** Mariel has left #darkabode.

[17:17] GT: "what...was that?"

[17:18] GT: "Well?"

[17:20] GT: "Hello?"

[17:35] *** Mariel has joined #darkabode.

[17:35] Rimblade: ((Beamed us up, even.))

[17:35] GT: (("borrowed?"))

[17:36] * Mariel frowns

[17:36] Fiona: ((Yeah, we get to watch Useless sit dead for a while.))

[17:36] GT: ((what? he doesn't bring me along?))

[17:36] * Lkeas looks over at Mariel. "What... what has happened..."

[17:36] Mariel: Divara killed the Ferret

[17:36] * Lkeas 's hand flies to her mouth. "No!"

[17:36] * Mariel looks about closely

[17:36] GT: "Can anybody explain that vortex that came in earlier?"

[17:36] Lkeas: He was... true to his word...

[17:37] Mariel: "You are once again a chronological nexus"

[17:37] GT: "Who are you talking about?"

[17:37] Mariel: "Caelestia can not bear the burdon of your continuance"

[17:37] Mariel: "As I am the acting representative I am the one to decide"

[17:37] Lkeas: Are we being evicted, at last?

[17:37] Mariel: "The abode is being cast out into Limbo"

[17:37] Kazuma: what?

[17:37] Mariel: "The entire thing is evicted"

[17:38] Kazuma: holy heck

[17:38] GT: "oh damn."

[17:38] Lkeas: What has caused this decision? I don't understand... chronological nexus?

[17:38] Mariel: "Falerin can fix the estate transference when he returns but there are too many tunnels back to Caelestia. Evicting people would fial"

[17:38] Mariel: "The time for explanation is past prophet"

[17:38] *** Nick has joined #darkabode.

[17:38] *** Mode change "+v Nick" for channel #darkabode by Reality.

[17:38] Mariel: "The next stage has begun"

[17:38] GT: "So what you're saying is that we are being moved?"

[17:38] * Lkeas shakes her head, too distraught to think clearly. "Talo-toecan.. gods..."

[17:38] Mariel: "Sentence is passed"

[17:39] GT: "This can't be good at all..."

[17:39] >Ambiance<: There is a large earth quake and then an explosion and all goes absolutely pitch black. When it returns the edge of the forest can be seen to be a wall of Chaotic Grey mist

[17:39] Kazuma: London brige fell...right on out heads

[17:39] Mariel: The Primal Chaos....

[17:39] Mariel: I wished Chaos to be with you

[17:39] GT: "what the hell was that?"

[17:39] Mariel: And now my wish is granted

[17:39] Mariel: Planar limbo

[17:40] Mariel: The Greater Void

[17:40] Mariel: The precreated

[17:40] Deathbringer: Oh fun...

[17:40] Kazuma: no more trees?

[17:40] Mariel: Au Reviour seekers

[17:40] Mariel: Untill your debt is called in and we again meet

[17:40] GT: "so now we're stuck here?"

[17:40] * Mariel vanishes

[17:40] * Kazuma sobs

[17:40] GT: "Dammit..."

[17:40] * Lkeas stares at her hands blankly. "What have we done..."

[17:40] Kazuma: perhaps...no.

[17:40] * iago looks around... "this is bad"

[17:40] GT: "I have no clue..."

[17:41] Voice: so fix it

[17:41] GT: "Fix what?"

[17:41] GT: "and how?"

[17:41] Voice: What you have done

[17:41] Nick: This is great...

[17:41] Mariel: This is a test

[17:41] Lkeas: I don't even know what we've done! Is this because of the nonsense with portals again? Extraplanar magic?

[17:41] GT: "So, we got ourselves stuck here, now we have to find out how to get out...

[17:41] Voice: Go completely Mariel

[17:41] Lkeas: Is it because of the truth seeking?

[17:41] Mariel: Leaving Leaving

[17:41] * Mariel vanishes

[17:42] Kazuma: erhaps Ryuusei was right

[17:42] Kazuma: ((perhaps*))

[17:42] GT: "I wonder what would happen if I walked into that fog..."

[17:42] Kazuma: maybe this *is* hell

[17:42] *** Namegduf_Live has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).

[17:42] *** Daniel has joined #darkabode.

[17:42] * Lkeas curses, tears streaking her cheeks by this point. "Now what..."

[17:42] Voice: Depends entirely

[17:43] * Daniel grumbles as he falls to the floor.

[17:43] Voice: On what I decided happened if you did that matthew

[17:43] Nick: Don't walk into the Fog GT

[17:43] Voice: Could be any number of things

[17:43] GT: "Ah, okay."

[17:43] Voice: The world is after all my oyster

[17:43] GT: "And my name is General Tommy, not Matthew."

[17:43] Voice: So you say in this meme

[17:43] * Lkeas frowns. "Who... who are you?"

[17:43] Voice: But I refuse to recognize the difference

[17:43] GT: "What?"

[17:43] * iago "or, what are you?"

[17:43] GT: "What are you talking about?"

[17:43] Voice: I am many things Erika

[17:44] Voice: Many people

[17:44] * Damsel sighs and stands, her expression complex.

[17:44] GT: "What do you mean by 'this meme'?"

[17:44] Daniel: This was done before to recognize analogs.

[17:44] * iago looks around, "you are many or one?"

[17:45] * Lkeas scratches her head. "That inflection is strange.."

[17:45] * Deathbringer shakes his head, removing his hood, his eyes calmed down.

[17:45] Daniel: Analyze. Identify. Ideas. Solve.

[17:45] GT: "So what did we do? I cannot solve our problem without figuring out what we did."

[17:46] Voice: Did?

[17:46] Voice: What you did was accept the invitation to play the game.

[17:46] Voice: And now unfortunately you must play

[17:46] Voice: Or else refuse

[17:46] Daniel: Then a paradox was created?

[17:46] GT: "game?"

[17:46] Nick: What are the rules of this "game" then?

[17:46] GT: "I guess I will play."

[17:47] Voice: The rules are beyond your ken

[17:47] Lkeas: Where... where are the other seekers?

[17:47] * Avarie arrives at the front door of the abode at a swift jog. Panting slightly, she enters and looks about, confusion plain on her face.

[17:47] Kazuma: ((were here, just quiet as heck))

[17:47] Daniel: If the issue is paradox, how many points are there to take?

[17:47] Kazuma: ((Or I could do what I did to GT))

[17:47] Fiona: ((Apparently we just reappeared, I dunno.))

[17:47] Lkeas: ((i dunno, you guys seemed confused on whether you needed an entrance))

[17:47] Fiona: ((We are. T_T))

[17:48] Kazuma: ((we kinda need something that tells us we're back))

[17:48] Nick: How do you expect us to play correctly if we don't know the rules? or even the object of this game?

[17:48] GT: "So, what happens next?"

[17:48] Daniel: ((As far as I'm concerned, Elaith is busy being in January.))

[17:48] * Avarie spots Daniel and a small look of relief crosses her face. Approaching him she intones quietly, "I think your place is gone..."

[17:48] *** Rimblade is now known as Alethyn.

[17:48] * Lkeas turns to GT. "What happens next? What have we always done? We seek the truth. We're just in a new playing field, right?"

[17:49] * Alethyn opens the door of a closet and peers out warily.

[17:49] >Ambiance<: A loud pop is heard as Useless appears in mid-air, falling to the floor with a deft twist to land on his paws.

[17:49] GT: WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?!

[17:49] * iago jumps

[17:49] Nick: Things suprise you less and less in this place...

[17:49] * Daniel assumes a frown similar to that of his cousin. "Well, that's pleasant. I want it back. Looks like it requires more playing."

[17:49] * Lkeas gasps as she sees the ferret appear. "But... I thought you were dead!"

[17:49] * Kira is shocked to see the ferret moving

[17:49] Lkeas: Your uncle...

[17:50] GT: "This doesn't seem physically possible..."

[17:50] * Damsel chuckles quietly, expressing her relief.

[17:50] * Alethyn shudders for a moment, and the talisman at his side turns grey.

[17:50] Useless: "Analogs make many interesting things 'possible'."

[17:50] Kazuma: Indeed

[17:50] *** Alethyn is now known as Neverborn.

[17:50] GT: "Okay then."

[17:50] Elaith: Well, if we were sent, chances are paradox was created.

[17:50] Fiona: ... Whew... That... Was odd.

[17:51] Elaith: Geez, it was when I first was an omninaut paradox amounts were talked about.

[17:51] Neverborn: Paradox is a fairly comonplace thing, I trow, Elaith.

[17:51] Elaith: However, it's not a good thing, and does have to be dealt with.

[17:51] GT: "We have to find out what to do...If only Ricobabie was here..."

[17:51] * Useless shivers slightly before hopping up to a couch

[17:51] William: Paradox happens daily

[17:51] * Deathbringer walks to a window, "So that is Primal Chaos..."

[17:51] Fiona: ((What IS your obsession with her? >_>))

[17:51] Neverborn: I'd noticed.

[17:51] William: But all action is purposeful

[17:52] William: Please do not bother with those silly things.

[17:52] GT: ((What? I like her, she likes me, what's wrong with that?"

[17:52] GT: ))*

[17:52] William: While I am here I refuse to recognize the distinction anyway

[17:52] Neverborn: 'There's a divinity which shapes our ends, rough hew them as we will'

[17:52] William: All worlds we touch are but other worlds not yet known

[17:53] Fiona: ((Obsessions are a dangeroussss thing. :p))

[17:53] Kazuma: ((ask bule))

[17:53] William: Do we have free will then... if all possibilities are seen. Perhaps Perhaps not but we do have answers

[17:53] Kazuma: but do you have some for us?

[17:53] Lkeas: It never seems like we have enough answers...

[17:53] Fiona: Hmm... Is there any way to even leave here?

[17:53] Neverborn: I think we've too many answers.

[17:53] William: and for my own part it matters what story gets told

[17:53] Lkeas: Or maybe we have too many, but not enough understanding.

[17:53] Kazuma: answers for questons we have, ot don't have

[17:53] William: That just might be me though

[17:54] William: You have here a choice.

[17:54] GT: "We've got to find out what is going on and how to fix it..."

[17:54] Kira: I think we have many answers, just not enough questions...or well not the right ones.

[17:54] Deathbringer: I don't think so Fiona... this looks like a different plane...

[17:54] William: One structured for you by The'Galin himself

[17:54] William: I am here as his harbringer as I am ACTUALLY neutral

[17:54] Neverborn: Lovely. You're a rare fellow then.

[17:54] William: While I care about ALL of the characters in this I am not vested in any

[17:54] Kazuma: such a thing is possible?

[17:54] William: I like the story

[17:54] William: And I know that in the story some must die

[17:54] Fiona: Story?

[17:54] iago: Neutrality... the easy way out

[17:54] William: some must live

[17:54] William: Thats just the way it is

[17:54] Elaith: You are Falerin's over-power. The "uberpersona beyond him".

[17:54] Useless: "Life and death are a part of any story."

[17:55] * Deathbringer nods.

[17:55] Neverborn: Indubitably, Useless.

[17:55] William: I am the author

[17:55] Damsel: "I suppose in many ways that in unavoidable."

[17:55] Kira: true Neutrality is very difficult to maintain.

[17:55] GT: "If somebody must die, I will do that."

[17:55] William: But I write not in exclusion

[17:55] William: The tale is not mine alone

[17:55] William: And no...

[17:55] William: I am not really him

[17:55] William: I am a direct analog of him with limited knoweledge that he chose to create for this specific purpose

[17:55] GT: "We have to find some way to fix this."

[17:55] William: I am no more real then Falerin

[17:56] Neverborn: Hmmmph. You're not the antithesis then.

[17:56] William: And no less either

[17:56] William: Real and Fake

[17:56] Lkeas: What is your purpose then? Will you explain to us this choice?

[17:56] William: Are after all words

[17:56] Kazuma: true

[17:56] William: Simple enough

[17:56] Useless: "Just as I am no greater nor lesser than any other analog of myself, aye?"

[17:56] Deathbringer: Very true.

[17:56] William: The Reality that spawned your analogs is very very very close

[17:56] William: The person who made the decision is a nutcase in the extreme

[17:57] Neverborn: We seem to deal with many of those.

[17:57] William: but a deliberate one

[17:57] GT: "nutcase in the extreme? Who might that be?"

[17:57] Kazuma: Rimblade?

[17:57] William: So statistically

[17:57] Fiona: Hehehe.

[17:57] William: The reality in which he sent you to the past

[17:57] Kazuma: I couldn't resist

[17:57] William: That is the far more likely reality

[17:57] William: MUCH MUCH more likely

[17:57] Kazuma: ((hint hint))

[17:57] Neverborn: Ah. That's how reality works, is it?

[17:57] William: Recoherence therefore will Favor that reality

[17:58] GT: "Can you give us a straight answer please?

[17:58] GT: "

[17:58] Useless: "And yet until Recoherence, I am here and whole."

[17:58] Kazuma: nope, that's what people do to us

[17:58] Kazuma: yay

[17:58] William: The only real way of stopping it of course is to do something to make the divergence quite a bit more drastic and permanent

[17:58] William: The pathway to do that exists in the past

[17:58] * Kazuma snuggles Useless

[17:58] William: Since both analogs are aware of each other

[17:58] Neverborn: Indeed?

[17:58] GT: "So we have to go to the past to figure this out."

[17:58] William: You can do that easily enough

[17:58] William: Diviara told you he would Kill Useless

[17:59] William: because he already remembered doing so

[17:59] GT: "Thanks for letting us know."

[17:59] William: In the past

[17:59] Kazuma: poor Ferret

[17:59] William: Diviara KNEW that he killed the Useless from the future

[17:59] William: and KNEW that he had no choice at the time

[17:59] GT: "So first off: find out how to get to the past."

[17:59] Damsel: "Oh of course..."

[17:59] Neverborn: So. You DO favor wyrd.

[17:59] Kazuma: Delphi does that

[17:59] William: So the event was quite unavoidable from his view

[17:59] Useless: "Poor me? Everything is an experience...however, what we learn from them is key."

[18:00] William: Diviara also KNEW that Gil was Killed by Ryuusei

[18:00] GT: "Okay then, anybody know how to get to the past so that we can fix this?"

[18:00] William: And in the future where Diviara had that knowledge

[18:00] William: Gil must indeed die by his hand

[18:00] Elaith: That means in this path the baby dies as Ryuusei knows also?

[18:00] Lkeas: But how did he come to know these things?

[18:00] William: He was there Prophet

[18:01] William: He was there

[18:01] William: For him your future was his past

[18:01] GT: "I think I get this."

[18:01] William: He knew those things because they happened months ago

[18:01] GT: "We need to get to the past."

[18:01] Neverborn: What is he then, Chronos?

[18:01] Lkeas: So the Diviara we have been meeting has travelled in the past, er.. present?

[18:01] William: No

[18:01] William: He did these things in the past

[18:01] William: YOU TRAVELLED back in time

[18:01] Nick: What?

[18:01] William: and that intersected with his past self

[18:02] Dale: I.. I get it.

[18:02] Useless: We could have not followed...but we decided to

[18:02] William: Thus the Past Diviara killed the Now Useless

[18:02] William: The Now Diviara is on Lore

[18:02] * Damsel nods her head.

[18:02] William: he has no say in any of this

[18:02] William: But he did warn you

[18:02] GT: "Okay, so we stopped what was meant to happen."

[18:02] William: Whether for his own interest or not

[18:02] William: he told you

[18:02] Nick: Which means he's is in some sense of the word...Good?

[18:02] *** Kazuma has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).

[18:02] Fiona: Diviaria is already there...? I hope everything is okay...

[18:02] William: And herein lies the rub

[18:02] Elaith: Question: Does the baby die in Ryuusei's past in this line as well then? He was certain the baby died when I asked about it.

[18:03] William: Diviara is a bit disturbed by the paradox too I think

[18:03] William: Elaith he has faith in the prophecy

[18:03] William: And in the surety of his win

[18:03] William: Why are you wasting my time

[18:03] William: Do you want your riddle or no?

[18:03] GT: ((just so everyone knows, Ricobabie is comings soon, be nice to her and keep her up to speed."

[18:03] Neverborn: Yes, please.

[18:03] GT: "Sure."

[18:03] GT: ))

[18:03] William: If so I am not here to discuss anything else about the saga

[18:04] Deathbringer: Lay it on us.

[18:04] William: Herein lies the truthseeker's bane

[18:04] William: Save two or let them die

[18:04] William: If Ryuusei fails and Gil lives then the paradox created makes that world different enought that this Useless lives

[18:04] William: And clearly Gil lives too

[18:05] Useless: And the ramifications of that? The costs?

[18:05] William: But tit for tat will always win

[18:05] William: All actions have cost

[18:05] William: Exchange is not always equivalemt

[18:05] Neverborn: Every action...

[18:05] William: Sometimes much less

[18:05] William: sometimes much more

[18:05] Useless: Who will bare them

[18:05] William: but there is ALWAYS a cost

[18:05] * Lkeas nods slowly.

[18:05] Nick: We screw with Time even more...

[18:05] William: On the other hand

[18:05] William: Which would The'galin prefer you do...

[18:06] Useless: First Father and now me...the irony does not escape me

[18:06] Nick: But if Ryuusei loses isn't that a good thing?

[18:06] William: It might appear that he wants you to act to destabilize reality because that creates uncreation

[18:06] Neverborn: I'd doubt it.

[18:06] William: It might be that he wants you to betray your friends and prove your lack of devotion

[18:06] William: Either is a disturbing possibility

[18:06] Lkeas: Indeed... this will take a bit of thought.

[18:06] Damsel: "Aye, that is true."

[18:06] William: Of course it might be that he WANTS you to do the former

[18:07] William: for the opposite reason

[18:07] William: To be willing to RISK uncreation to save somehting worth saving

[18:07] William: It really is a multifaceted riddle

[18:07] William: And you do not have time to debate

[18:07] Fiona: ... Testing us?

[18:07] William: Not at all

[18:07] iago: And if we do nothing, be thouroughly neutral?

[18:07] William: The epic resumes

[18:07] William: RIGHT NOW

[18:07] GT: "okay then."

[18:07] *** Ricobabie has joined #darkabode.

[18:07] Fiona: Not again...

[18:08] GT: "Hello my love."

[18:08] Deathbringer: Graz'zt be damned....

[18:08] *** Neverborn is now known as Rimblade.

[18:08] >Ambiance<: The voice vanishes

[18:08] Elaith: Things must resume their course.

[18:08] GT: "Everybody, bring Rico up to speed."

[18:08] Damsel: "Well then... let us not keep them waiting..."

[18:08] *** Kazuma has joined #darkabode.

[18:08] *** Mode change "+v Kazuma" for channel #darkabode by Reality.

[18:10] Elaith: I would stay the course we are currently on.

[18:11] *** Ricobabie has signed off IRC (Distracted: AQStats Web Client).

[18:12] GT: "Hmm...let's decipher this riddle."

[18:15] GT: "Well?

[18:15] GT: "

[18:18] William: They already are

[18:18] William: In the appropriate venue

[18:18] GT: "Huh?"

[18:18] * William falls silent completely

[18:18] *** Mariel has left #darkabode.

[18:19] GT: "Man, why can't people give a straight answer for once?"

[18:20] *** Nick has left #darkabode.

[18:24] *** Eitak_Razal has joined #darkabode.

[18:25] GT: "So much confusion..."

[18:26] * Eitak_Razal stumbles into the Abode. She takes two steps forwards then colapses. There is a large gash on her head as well as her chest. She is covered in cuts in various other palces as well. There is blood dripping from her face

[18:27] Fiona: ((Too bad no one is here to heal you. :p))

[18:27] GT: "What the hell happened to you?"

[18:27] * GT casts healing spell ((Yes, my guy knows healing spells))

[18:27] Eitak_Razal: ((She's out cold))

[18:27] * Eitak_Razal is uneffected

[18:30] * Eitak_Razal regains coniusness

[18:31] GT: "What happened to you?"

[18:31] Eitak_Razal: Got attacked by a monster in Lore;

[18:31] GT: "ouch."

[18:32] * Eitak_Razal casts a spell healing her own wounds

[18:32] Eitak_Razal: Where are we anyways...

[18:32] GT: "We're trying to figure out this riddle..."

[18:33] Eitak_Razal: Did the others get picked up by the'Galin's Minions?

[18:34] GT: "I do not know."

[18:35] Eitak_Razal: If only I could bring my Scyring Pool from home... This place rejects most magical objects...

[18:36] GT: "odd how my claymore didn't get rejected then..."

[18:36] Fiona: ((It's almost over, someone will heal you.))

[18:36] *** TheTraveller has joined #darkabode.

[18:36] *** Nick has joined #darkabode.

[18:36] *** Mode change "+v Nick" for channel #darkabode by Reality.

[18:36] * TheTraveller gestures and the rest appear

[18:36] Eitak_Razal: I said most...

[18:37] TheTraveller: Now then

[18:37] Rimblade: There we go. We foolishly stuck with our moral values.

[18:37] Eitak_Razal: ((Eitak healed her wounds when she woke up)

[18:37] Eitak_Razal: What happend???

[18:37] TheTraveller: Oh yes....

[18:37] * Kira looks over Gil to see if he can find any injuries that need patching

[18:37] * Korban appears then looks at Dale, seeming Badly wounded.

[18:37] Deathbringer: Ah... back to chaos.

[18:37] TheTraveller: I never would have recommended that path

[18:37] TheTraveller: You willfully altered time

[18:37] * Fiona falls to the ground with a thud. "Ow..."

[18:37] TheTraveller: Now

[18:37] Nick: Aye, Rim but it's better than not doing anything and regretting it later...

[18:37] * Useless blinks

[18:37] TheTraveller: Even after being so very very aware of the results

[18:37] TheTraveller: You chose your course even after seeing the damage it might cause

[18:37] * Lkeas nods. "Promoting uncreation, yes..."

[18:38] TheTraveller: You commited to helping an individual even over uncreation of a mass

[18:38] * Damsel carefully examines Dale's wounds while listening carefully.

[18:38] TheTraveller: That was a rather selflessish thing to do

[18:38] Kazuma: That's what you do when you care

[18:38] TheTraveller: Yes simultaneously selfless and selfish

[18:38] Rimblade: Absolutely!

[18:38] Rimblade: I did it all for me!

[18:38] TheTraveller: Not really very altruistic

[18:38] Nick: Thats how we roll...

[18:38] * Dale chuckles. "I'll be fine, Damsel. All I need is some rest."

[18:38] TheTraveller: But it was caring

[18:38] * Deathbringer blinks.

[18:38] Lkeas: Is there such a thing as pure altruism?

[18:38] Useless: "But at least they *chose*."

[18:39] Eitak_Razal: What happened... I go to lore, almost get myself killed, while you guys are off dealing with The'Galin.

[18:39] GT: "Sometimes sacrifices must be made for the greater good."

[18:39] TheTraveller: Interesting Question Lkeas

[18:39] * Eitak_Razal points to her still healing wounds.

[18:39] * Damsel frowns slightly. "At the very least, let me bind it."

[18:39] TheTraveller: Stumps Philosophers of all worlds.

[18:39] *** maieo has joined #darkabode.

[18:39] *** Mode change "+v maieo" for channel #darkabode by Reality.

[18:39] Lkeas: Indeed.

[18:39] * Elaith frowns, still convinced it should not have happened.

[18:39] TheTraveller: Tell me when you find the answer.

[18:39] Kazuma: ((* TheTraveller dodges))

[18:39] TheTraveller: As of yet the jury is out.

[18:39] Rimblade: I'd search for it, but I'm too busy making money.

[18:39] Eitak_Razal: Whats going on?

[18:39] * Lkeas smirks. "That may be one Truth we do not discover on this journey."

[18:39] iago: The greater good, and our personal good was served

[18:39] TheTraveller: By selling bad insurance

[18:39] GT: "Rim, we are in a crisis here."

[18:39] Rimblade: Well... yes.

[18:39] TheTraveller: May as well resume that now

[18:39] * Dale shrugs. "You're the healer. Do as you must."

[18:40] TheTraveller: Since you have had my home cast out of my plane

[18:40] TheTraveller: Thanks for that by the by

[18:40] TheTraveller: Anyway... so here we are

[18:40] TheTraveller: You acted

[18:40] Rimblade: Was it a good choice?

[18:40] TheTraveller: And now you get the consequences

[18:40] iago: And?

[18:40] TheTraveller: A tit for tat

[18:40] * Fiona hands Eitak the bottle from the day earlier. "I tested it, it works."

[18:40] GT: "Is there a way to fix it?"

[18:40] Deathbringer: Yay... the reprocusions...

[18:40] Rimblade: Er. Do we get sued?

[18:40] TheTraveller: Two people lived

[18:40] Nick: So what do we get slapped with?

[18:40] * iago braces

[18:40] TheTraveller: At least one of them should not have

[18:41] Eitak_Razal: Thanks

[18:41] Lkeas: Why?

[18:41] GT: "So we should kill one of them."

[18:41] TheTraveller: Though should is a harsh word

[18:41] * Damsel chuckles and unrolls a length of clean cloth bandages from a pouch on her belt which she uses to bind Dale's wounds.

[18:41] TheTraveller: Allow me to rephrase

[18:41] Eitak_Razal: What happend to you guys?

[18:41] TheTraveller: History already recorded firmly the death of one

[18:41] Dale: We must choose between Useless and Gil, yes?

[18:41] Eitak_Razal: You guys look worse than me.

[18:41] TheTraveller: Someone will pay the compensation for that unbalance

[18:41] * Damsel occasionally glances up at TheTraveller as she works.

[18:41] TheTraveller: But lets think happier thoughts

[18:41] TheTraveller: Have some scones

[18:41] GT: "If somebody must pay, I will take it."

[18:41] * TheTraveller gestures and a 20 course meal appears

[18:41] TheTraveller: Well thats a bit more then scones

[18:42] TheTraveller: but it works

[18:42] Deathbringer: Woah!

[18:42] * TheTraveller vanishes

[18:42] *** TheTraveller has left #darkabode.
