Daughter of Twain

From Caelwiki

<Korban> Question, I never understood, do the Cor-dem, Vor-dem, etc., resemble those from the terran universe, being that they are located in Lore's?

<Korban> I mean, we judge them by Terran standards.

<Maxwell> They are located in Lore's universe?

* Korban shrugs.

<Korban> I mean originally, before the Outlands.

<Maxwell> I can not say, but they are not native to our universe.

<Maxwell> So they do not really count as a terran race.

<Korban> Hm.

<Korban> But yet we hold the same constellation.

<Korban> Is that to say that the race doesn't exist at all in the Terran universe?

<Jeice> Maxwell, I've just looked through the demons in AQ, and I'm rather stumped as to why there are so few. What causes one category of them to form is obvious, but I would think they would be growing in number rather than being uncommon.

<Maxwell> Perhaps that is the reason.

<Zeltan> That depends on how they form

<Jeice> They seem to form from being corrupted by evil spirits feeding on negative emotion.

<Zeltan> Well, why should they be growing in numbers? It's not like they breed

<Jeice> Negative emotions should be more and more common as the fighting grows more intense though, right?

<Maxwell> But are the evil spirits?

<Maxwell> Are they common?

<Jeice> Well, what happened to the evil spirits? I don't know.

<Zeltan> :)

<Maxwell> That is right, you do not know.

<Maxwell> And it will stay that way.

<Kaz> heh

<Jeice> :<.:<

<Jeice> Why will it stay that way?

<Maxwell> Why would it not stay that way?

<Jeice> Because you could tell me?

<Maxwell> Could I?

<LordBarrius> Some things are better left quiet for the moment, I presume.

<Jeice> I suppose you could.

<Maxwell> I suppose I could too.

<Maxwell> I suppose I could also not, tell you.

<Jeice> Would you please tell me?

<Maxwell> Let me think it over.

<Maxwell> No

<Jeice> >.<

<Kaz> bribe him with the lost episodes of Lost

<Maxwell> Perhaps what you want to know is nothing.

<Maxwell> Or perhaps it is something.

<Maxwell> Do you really want to know something if it is nothing?

<Kaz> yes

<Maxwell> And how do I tell you something if it is nothing?

<Kaz> so then we know it's nothing

<Kaz> just tell us flat-out

<Maxwell> Perhaps by me telling you nothing I am telling you something, perhaps it is me telling you everything you want to know.

<Kaz> you dont know, huh?

<Maxwell> Does anyone ever really know?

<Kaz> God does

<Jeice> Yes, sometimes.

<Maxwell> God knows nothing?

<Zeltan> XD

<Kaz> God knows everything

<Maxwell> If it is nothing why would he know it?

<Maxwell> He knows everything yes, but does he know nothing also?

<Kaz> You confuzzle me

<Kaz> perhaps I should get Ovid to translate

<Maxwell> You can not know everything and then nothing, nothing is not a part of anything.

<Zeltan> @_@

<Maxwell> So if you want me to tell you something that is in fact nothing.

<Maxwell> I just told you everything.

<Maxwell> By not telling you anything.

<Kaz> oh! I get it

<Kaz> You don't know it

<Kaz> :P

* Deathbringer has joined #755

<Maxwell> You are right, I do not know nothing.

<Maxwell> I know something.

* Kaz prods Ovid to translate

<Maxwell> It is not simple, for there is nothing to tell you.

<Maxwell> You ask for something when there is nothing.

<Maxwell> So all I can tell you is nothing, that gives you something.

<Kaz> paradox

<LordBarrius> Not really.

<Jeice> Having fun, Maxwell?

<LordBarrius> Saying nothing still *does* say something, technically.

<Maxwell> The something is the nothing, and that is your answer.

<Maxwell> Your right, it is something.

<Kaz> he must write good essays when he doesn't understand the topic

<Maxwell> I understand the topic Kaz.

<Kaz> no no no I'm being offf topic again

<Kaz> Why do I ask questions when I know the answer will confuse me??

<Maxwell> Because like most humans you are looking for something, even when there is nothing to find.

<Kaz> true

<Kaz> it is human nature to explore

[14:56] Lkeas: Heya Max

[14:57] Maxwell: Heya :D

[14:57] * Maxwell snuggles Lkeas

[14:57] Lkeas: need some advil?

[14:57] Maxwell: Naaa

[14:58] Maxwell: Nothing seems to help actually.

[14:58] Lkeas: hmm. migraines?

[14:58] Maxwell: Yep

[14:58] Maxwell: every day..

[14:59] Lkeas: :(

[14:59] Kaz: :(

[15:04] Lkeas: so has anybody asked you for more help with the map yet?

[15:04] Lkeas: we were trying to figure out what P and B could stand for.

[15:04] Maxwell: I know what they mean.

[15:05] Maxwell: And the O does not go Ou

[15:05] Maxwell: It goes Op

[15:05] Lkeas: Pleiades, Ptaah, Pink Hippo.. i dunno.

[15:05] Lkeas: oh? how come station 5 was listed as Ou then?

[15:05] Maxwell: Ou is for the meaning, which was named for Outland Station

[15:05] LordBarrius: Well, that changes things....

[15:05] Zeltan: Ahaha!

[15:05] Zeltan: I knew it

[15:05] LordBarrius: So the u was a lie.

[15:05] * Zeltan does a vistory dance

[15:05] Zeltan: Not its' not

[15:05] Maxwell: But the name of the station is a part of the name of that station

[15:05] Zeltan: If you recall

[15:05] Maxwell: Op - Ou -

[15:05] Lkeas: so when you say Op, does that mean O.P. something? Or a word that begins Op?

[15:05] Zeltan: S<no.>: Title: Name

[15:06] LordBarrius: Hm.

[15:06] Maxwell: It is a word that begins with Op

[15:06] Kaz: OPerator?

[15:06] Maxwell: Named after Twain.

[15:06] Zeltan: Oprah?

[15:06] Zeltan: >.>

[15:06] Kaz: Op my got!

[15:06] Kaz: Hehe

[15:06] Lkeas: Optical, Operative...

[15:06] Lkeas: which twain, matthew or robert?

[15:06] Zeltan: Named after Twain...

[15:06] * Kaz picks up a nearby hardwire and disappears

[15:06] Maxwell: They were all named by one man.

[15:06] Zeltan: Took the words out of my mouth Lkeas

[15:06] Maxwell: One man who was very sick when he named them.

[15:07] Lkeas: someone before matthew, even?

[15:07] Maxwell: They all have their meaning, but very little kno what they really stand for other than what they do.

[15:07] Zeltan: His father?

[15:07] Lkeas: wait wait, not Optico? from the isle d'oriens?

[15:07] Maxwell: know*

[15:07] Zeltan: Has the name appeared before?

[15:07] Maxwell: Twain was not in his right mind.

[15:07] Kaz: doesn't Twain mean twenty? he had 20 kids

[15:08] Kaz: >.> <.<

[15:08] Maxwell: But the stations are suppose to tell a twisted story of the life and death of his daughter.

[15:08] Kaz: are they?

[15:08] Lkeas: That's... disturbing.

[15:08] Maxwell: Well, no they are not a very clear story.

[15:08] Maxwell: He was not in his right mind like I said.

[15:08] Kaz: no, that's...twisted

[15:08] Lkeas: what does NOVA have to do with his daughter?

[15:08] Maxwell: What do you think her name was?

[15:09] Damsel: Lisa?

[15:09] Zeltan: Lisa? >.:<

[15:09] Lkeas: er... Nova?

[15:09] Zeltan: Jinx

[15:09] Maxwell: Her name was Nova.

[15:09] *** Ras has joined #755.

[15:09] Zeltan: Wow

[15:09] Lkeas: So it's not Matthew Twain then.

[15:09] Kaz: Wait...Nova?

[15:09] Lkeas: Unless Nova is Lisa's real name

[15:09] Jeice: I doubt that.

[15:09] Maxwell: Born on Earth, in the month of October.

[15:10] Lkeas: is Nova Lisa's real name?

[15:10] Jeice: I think he said Nova died.

[15:10] Kaz: that's the 8th month...there goes my idea

[15:10] Maxwell: I can not say.

[15:10] Lkeas: maybe Twain thought she died, but she didn't

[15:10] Zeltan: She works for NOVA, how can he not know?

[15:11] Zeltan: Unless

[15:11] Lkeas: or maybe Lisa is a clone, or something.

[15:11] Jeice: Crud, dinner.

[15:11] Kaz: if dinner's that bad >.> <.< Make Ramen!

[15:11] Lkeas: Anyway, so how does Nova's life relate to a word beginning with Op?

[15:11] Zeltan: TWAIN, NOVA

[15:12] Kaz: perhaps she was an oprative

[15:12] Zeltan: >..>

[15:12] Maxwell: The Daughter

[15:12] Maxwell: The Father

[15:12] Maxwell: The Reaper

[15:12] Maxwell: The Event

[15:12] Maxwell: The Remains

[15:12] Kaz: for the Network of Vesperian Agents

[15:12] Zeltan: The Reaper?

[15:12] Lkeas: That could mean Robert after all. Aka Dragon, aka Ptaah.

[15:12] Lkeas: he did kill Matthew after all...

[15:13] Zeltan: What event killed his daughter

[15:13] Maxwell: That is not the event.

[15:13] Maxwell: This all took place long before that.

[15:13] Lkeas: Oh.

[15:13] Zeltan: Ah

[15:13] Lkeas: Birth?

[15:13] Zeltan: So the event is related to Nova

[15:13] Maxwell: Yes, it is.

[15:14] Zeltan: Was it happy or sad?

[15:14] Maxwell: A happy event for some, sad for others.

[15:15] *** Kazuma has joined #755.

[15:15] Zeltan: Which was it for Twain?

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

[15:15] Maxwell: Like I did not tell you enough already.

[15:15] Lkeas: Heh.

[15:15] Zeltan: Mmmk

[15:16] Lkeas: Well, where should we go from here? We still don't know how to go about finding the locations of the stations.

[15:16] Lkeas: We have a vague idea of where the first station is, and the second one orbits Sol 3...

[15:16] Maxwell: I suppose you need some Hope and Faith.

[15:16] Maxwell: I can not help you with it.

[15:16] Maxwell: And I must be going.

[15:16] Lkeas: Alright, take care

[15:16] Zeltan: Ok, see ya

[15:16] LordBarrius: Seeya later.

[15:17] Kazuma: buh bye

[15:17] Maxwell: If it helps, the stations are not all in the same universe.

[15:17] Kazuma: that helps a bit

[15:17] Maxwell: And for a very good reason.

[15:17] Lkeas: Hmm.

[15:17] Zeltan: Hmm.

[15:17] Kazuma: (Wonderwall@755.755.755.755)

[15:17] Kazuma: >.>

[15:17] Lkeas: So it's possible two stations could be in the same location, in different realms/timelines?

[15:17] Kazuma: yes

[15:17] Zeltan: He just made it harder

[15:18] LordBarrius: Eh.
