Protection Lifted

<>Ambiance<> The sky turns black as night and a howling wind is heard throughout the abode

[11:26] >Ambiance<: The sky continues to darken taking on the color of jet. Eventually growing so dark as seeming to begin to dim even the artificial and magical light sources available to the abode

[11:27] * Lkeas squints at the page she's reading, then looks over at her reading light to see what the problem is.

[11:27] Lkeas: Hey.. battery running low or something?

[11:27] * Kazuma sighs, "not this again"

[11:27] * Lkeas pokes the little light.

[11:27] * lightbringerlord opens his eyes

[11:27] lightbringerlord: Batteries?

[11:28] lightbringerlord: Never trust those.

[11:28] Kazuma: True

[11:28] Kazuma: but it isn't the batteries I fear

[11:28] * lightbringerlord 's eyes turn white

[11:28] * LordBarrius 's eyes remain focused out the window, his face emotionless as he stares outside.

[11:28] Kazuma: I'm afraid it may be time to listen, not write

[11:29] * Lkeas sighs and slides the pagemarking ribbon to mark her place, and sets the book down, then gets up to join LordBarrius by the window. "See anything, brother?"

[11:29] *** lightbringerlord has signed off IRC (NickServ (GHOST command used by Eye_Of_Meliaris)).

[11:30] *** Eye_Of_Meliaris has joined #darkabode.

[11:31] * Kazuma sighs, "Ironicly, I was just reading the the log with the fog earlier today."

[11:31] LordBarrius: "Besides the darkness, you mean? Even I cannot stare through it. It's rather curious."

[11:31] lightbringerlord: Well, something is going to happen today.

[11:32] Lkeas: That is... a bit foreboding. I worry the door has something to do with it...

[11:32] Lkeas: Ryuusei has been trying to find a way through the barriers protecting this realm.

[11:32] Kazuma: perhaps...maybe the door shall return soon

[11:32] * Lkeas turns to LBL. "That's right... the score of April.."

[11:32] Lkeas: Well, score and ten.

[11:32] Kazuma: Score and 10

[11:32] Kazuma: yes

[11:32] * lightbringerlord looks at archivist Any new ideas about Hebrew shores archivist?^^

[11:32] lightbringerlord: *

[11:33] * Ness wakes up "Wha? Whys it so dark?"

[11:34] * Lkeas shrugs. "I'm not sure. It may have just been a reference used to lead us to the Bible passage in Genesis."

[11:34] Kazuma: We don't know.

[11:34] Kazuma: oh wait

[11:34] Kazuma: do we know what Genesis 20:10 is?

[11:35] Kazuma: Why didn't I see that before?

[11:35] Lkeas: Genesis 20:10? Hmm...

[11:36] Kazuma: no good now

[11:36] Kazuma: We can't see much

[11:36] * Lkeas fumbles in the fading light over to the tome Damsel lent her a few days ago. She struggles to find the page for a few minutes. "I can't quite make it out... but it's a short sentence.."

[11:37] Kazuma: Short, but possibly important

[11:37] *** Kaz has signed off IRC (Operation timed out).

[11:38] * Lkeas gestures to the little reading light, which hovers over obediently but flickers ever more dimly. "What were you... afraid of..."

[11:39] Kazuma: ((are you talking or reading?))

[11:39] * LordBarrius frowns slightly, his eyes still locked out the window in silence as if trying to peer through the blackness.

[11:39] Lkeas: ((reading))

[11:39] Kazuma: ((okay))

[11:39] lightbringerlord: Gah! I won't be sitting under the darkness, even in Caelestia.

[11:39] * lightbringerlord closes his eyes

[11:40] * lightbringerlord creates two shiny light orbs, one in each hand

[11:40] Kazuma: oh come on, Surely even you can take this. I understand you are the Lightbringer Lord, but get a grip

[11:41] Voices: The score and ten is here. The end has come that much is clear.

[11:41] * lightbringerlord 's orbs suddenly fade

[11:41] Kazuma: oh no

[11:41] * LordBarrius frowns more deeply.

[11:42] Kazuma: The end?

[11:42] * Lkeas lifts her head out of the book. "The end of... what?"

[11:42] Kazuma: oh dear lord no

[11:42] Kazuma: No end is good at this point

[11:42] *** Kaz has joined #darkabode.

[11:43] Voices: The score in ten marks insurrection herein ends your sure protection.

[11:43] * Ness shrugs "The most important part of a story is its ending. Maybe the end isn't bad." Ness chuckles a bit.

[11:43] Kazuma: no...protection

[11:44] Ness: Perhaps Falerin's protection has been broken or revoked

[11:44] lightbringerlord: Oh my.

[11:44] lightbringerlord: Again?

[11:44] Kazuma: Again? When did this happen before?

[11:45] lightbringerlord: We barely survived last time.

[11:45] Kazuma: oh my

[11:45] Voices: Mark these words mark them sure there exists no haven forevermore

[11:46] Kazuma: There are no more Havens

[11:46] * Kazuma frowns

[11:47] *** Kazuma has signed off IRC (Suppressed: class time. *Kazuma hates classes BTW).

[11:47] Voices: From the begining this dichotomy paired. Truth Seeker Warrior why should either be spared.

[11:48] lightbringerlord: Warior?

[11:49] Voices: Here in lies your gambling plight refuge rescinded as the time strikes right. You may stay and do as you wish herein. But Ardendor's sheilds won't deter them again

[11:49] * Lkeas feels her way along the edge of the couch and closes her fingers around the hilt of her blade. "This does not bode well..."

[11:49] * lightbringerlord shivers

[11:49] lightbringerlord: Not again...

[11:49] * Korban sits listening quietly,to the eerie voice

[11:50] Ness: Deter whom again?

[11:50] * lightbringerlord turns at Lkeas What are we going to do now mistress?

[11:50] Korban: Hm, so we're on our own now?

[11:50] * Korban sighs.

[11:50] Lkeas: What happened to Falerin?

[11:51] Korban: So any who wish to harm us, can walk right in.

[11:51] * Korban shrugs, uncertain of him ever "being" here in the first place.

[11:52] Falerin: And herein lies the participants shame a failing on which you take the blame. This end in coming was preapportinedd. To activate when your task you had abadonded. When in activity you did fall lax. My contigency activated to stop you in your tracks. The orchestrator and conductor plainly see is none other then myself yes... me...

[11:53] Dale: ...

[11:54] *** Falerin has joined #darkabode.

[11:54] *** Mode change "+qo Falerin Falerin" for channel #darkabode by Reality.

[11:54] Lkeas: Orchestrator...

[11:54] * Falerin appears with Galrick in tow

[11:55] * Falerin frowns

[11:55] * Lkeas 's face falls. "It's true..."

[11:55] Falerin: Not good...

[11:55] * Falerin looks at the sky

[11:55] Ness: Hm?

[11:55] Falerin: "My spell was activated...."

[11:55] * Lkeas turns to Ness. "Haven't we been lax in our search lately?"

[11:55] lightbringerlord: By who?

[11:55] Falerin: "... not good in the slightest...."

[11:56] Falerin: "Oh it could not be activated by one individual it would require concensus neglience"

[11:56] Falerin: *Negligence

[11:56] Lkeas: We've lost our way..

[11:56] Falerin: "Well then clearly you have grown complacent in your shelter..."

[11:56] Falerin: So your shelter will be revoked

[11:57] Falerin: You may use my home as you wish

[11:57] Falerin: but so may they

[11:57] * Falerin gestures

[11:57] * Lkeas frowns. "And there is nothing we can do?"

[11:57] * Falerin turns and looks at Galrick

[11:57] Falerin: "NOT A WORD"

[11:57] lightbringerlord: That... that is not good news at all.

[11:57] * Galrick closes his mouth.

[11:58] * Galrick closes his mouth.

[11:58] * Falerin shudders

[11:58] * Falerin shudders

[11:58] Lkeas: Can you at least... bring the light back up in case some of us wish to continue searching?

[11:58] * Falerin frowns

[11:58] Falerin: The light

[11:58] Lkeas: It's a bit hard to read through scrolls in the dark.

[11:59] Falerin: Why would the light be altered

[11:59] * Falerin looks at the sky

[11:59] Falerin: Strange...

[11:59] Falerin: There is something out there....

[11:59] lightbringerlord: This is not your doing?

[11:59] Falerin: Something that prevents the natural sun of caelestia from getting through to the abode

[11:59] * Lkeas points to her reading light. "It's not just 'out there'... it seems to be affecting all the artificial light as well.

[11:59] Falerin: And since the artificial continuous light is now extingushed

[11:59] Falerin: you would be relying on those natural day and night phases

[12:00] Falerin: ... ah...

[12:00] Falerin: Antiprotons

[12:00] lightbringerlord: Unlight?

[12:00] Falerin: *Antiphotons

[12:00] Falerin: Yes... though photons are indeed their own Antiparticle.

[12:00] Falerin: This is not darkness

[12:00] Falerin: This is unlight

[12:01] Ness: Hm

[12:01] Ness: Well

[12:01] Ness: We haven't exploded yet

[12:01] Ness: That's good

[12:01] Falerin: Unlight is not explosive

[12:01] Falerin: Photons are their own antiparticle

[12:01] Ness: Physics isn't 100% cross-realm compatible. Someone could have exploded.

[12:01] * Ness shrugs

[12:02] Falerin: It is just light modulated in such away to cancel all light in visible freuqencies

[12:02] * Lkeas turns to Ness. "How can you joke at a time like this? If we can't see we can't exactly pick up where we left off.."

[12:02] Falerin: This effect is brought about by a shell

[12:02] Falerin: Similiar to an antimagic shell but not restricting normal magic within

[12:02] Falerin: Nor normal magic without

[12:03] * lightbringerlord shrughs

[12:03] Falerin: only magic from without from crossing directly within

[12:03] lightbringerlord: *shrugs

[12:03] Falerin: It is in fact a very odd...

[12:03] Falerin: Ah... uncreation

[12:03] lightbringerlord: I've seen this before..

[12:03] Falerin: The abode is covered in a dome of uncreation

[12:03] Falerin: Well then...

[12:03] Ness: The

[12:03] Lkeas: Mmm. Yes, I suppose we should have mentioned that...

[12:03] Ness: The'Galin did that earlier

[12:03] Falerin: Your protection such as it is is being provided by he you seek to defeat

[12:03] Falerin: Intriguing

[12:03] Falerin: Come Galrick

[12:03] * Falerin vanishes

[12:04] * Galrick vanishes

[12:04] *** Falerin has left #darkabode.

[12:04] lightbringerlord: Just like the last time.

[12:05] * Lkeas sighs in the dark. "Well... I don't suppose anybody has a really good memory? I guess we'll have to try to figure out clues the old-fashioned way, through the spoken word."

[12:07] * LordBarrius blinks. "Protecting those who seek his defeat....just because of a debt? Is that all it is?"

[12:08] lightbringerlord: My guess is he is trying to divide us.

[12:08] Lkeas: Remember who he said he was protecting us from..

[12:10] lightbringerlord: only magic from without from crossing directly within

[12:14] *** Ness has signed off IRC (Vanished: School).

[12:20] *** Fulcan is now known as Alastor.

[12:22] lightbringerlord: That's even more stranger

[12:22] Alastor: Hm?

[12:23] * Lkeas looks over at the window as the rays shine through. "Well, that should help things a bit."

[12:24] *** Kaz has signed off IRC (Operation timed out).

[12:25] *** lightbringerlord has signed off IRC (Interred: ).

[12:32] * Brink awakes and smiles at the others from his corner. He notices the light shining in from the window and stands as he removes his book fomr his pocket. He begins to read.

[12:59] Falerin: What are you doing Galrick?

[12:59] Alastor: Hm?

[12:59] Galrick: Er just checking my myspace memos and making a post....

[13:00] * LordBarrius tilts his head and listens quietly.

[13:00] Falerin: And using the laptop to send a message to Caelestia to the effect....

[13:00] Alastor: Hello Galrick, Falerin.

[13:00] Galrick: Er yeah

[13:00] Falerin: Trying to lie to me is pretty stupid...

[13:00] Galrick: Er yeah

[13:00] Galrick: Lets go our plane is leaving

[13:00] Alastor: Where are you headed?

[13:01] Falerin: Saved by the bell are we...

[13:01] Falerin: Very well then

[13:01] >Ambiance<: Their voices fall silent

[13:02] * LordBarrius turns and walks over to his tote bag, digging through the scrolls within.

[13:04] * Brink turns his attnetion away from his book and yawns. After that he returns to reading.

[13:05] * Lkeas sits up and cracks her knuckles. "Right then, we know what we have to do."

[13:05] Alastor: Doesn't anybody in here have access to a computer?

[13:07] * Brink notices Alastor and Lkeas "What's all the camotion about?"

[13:08] *** Gilphon has joined #darkabode.

[13:08] *** Mode change "+v Gilphon" for channel #darkabode by Reality.

[13:08] Lkeas: Well... you might have missed it, Brink, but the voices pretty much told us we doomed ourselves by abandoning the truthseeking.

[13:11] * Brink shows a look of slight worry "Do you mean Falerin and Galrick? If so, what exactly can we do at the moment, i mean, from what i've missed i'm not of much help. And i don't believe any clues have been given lately that i think of."

[13:11] Lkeas: Soooo, we managed to get our protection from Falerin rescinded by our inactivity. The only thing protecting us right now is the dome of uncreation instilled by The'Galin himself.

[13:12] Alastor: Perhaps when that subsues we shall need to take arms...

[13:12] Alastor: I do hope it does not come to that.

[13:13] Mariel: Everything expressed here is a clue to something...

[13:13] * Lkeas shrugs. "Our protection right now is thanks to our helping to save a life. I'm not sure how long it will last, but it seems clear to me that we get what we give."

[13:15] Mariel: Remind me to smack the living HELL out of Falerin when I see him...

[13:15] Ness: Hm? Why?

[13:15] *** Dale has signed off IRC (NickServ (GHOST command used by Dalefanwill)).

[13:15] *** Dale has joined #darkabode.

[13:15] * Lkeas smiles. "It kind of gives me an answer to something I had been sulking over a few days past... why do we bother seeking? Well, for one thing if we DON'T, stuff like this happens..."

[13:15] *** Mode change "+v Dale" for channel #darkabode by Reality.

[13:15] Mariel: He clearly knows we are seeking him to deliver a message and he is not staying still anywhere long enough for us to get it to him

[13:15] Mariel: His preoccupation is inane.

[13:16] Ness: Preoccupation with what?

[13:16] Mariel: Tirlerion is now officially calling for Falerin's seat

[13:16] Mariel: I should imagine he would want to know

[13:16] Alastor: Where is Tirlerion?

[13:17] * Ness shrugs

[13:17] Ness: If he wants to let Tirlerion take his mantle unopposed, let him, I suppose.

[13:17] Alastor: Ness, shut up.

[13:17] *** bule has joined #darkabode.

[13:17] *** Mode change "+v bule" for channel #darkabode by Reality.

[13:17] Alastor: Don't say that.

[13:17] Alastor: You do NOT want Tirlerion in Falerin's place, trust me.

[13:18] * Ness shrugs again "You know how I feel about gods."

[13:18] * LordBarrius scowls at Ness's comment but focuses instead on Mariel's comments. "How much longer can he be kept from obtaining Falerin's position while he is absent? Can he be refused for much longer, or need we concern ourselves with a new 'owner' in the near future?"

[13:18] * Mariel reappears

[13:18] Ness: Granted, Tirlerion being the God of Evil would pose significant problems

[13:19] Mariel: I do not know how you feel about gods Ness

[13:19] Mariel: Why not enlighten me

[13:19] * Alastor looks at Ness, "See what you've done now?"

[13:20] Mariel: Then I can enlighten you about how I feel about ungrateful ingrates... only I will use an object lesson

[13:20] Mariel: How about that

[13:20] Alastor: Please forgive him Mariel, he speaks before he thinks.

[13:21] * Dale yawns.

[13:21] Mariel: Do you speak and think for him now Ryst....

[13:21] * Ness looks at Mariel "While in general, I accept the authority of the deities of the realm, I generally find gods of most realms to be complacent, condescending, and generally distasteful. However, I actually find the Farpoint to be a few steps above most other gods I've met.

[13:21] Mariel: Will you then bear responsibility for his actions

[13:21] Alastor: No I do not.

[13:21] Dale: At times I wonder if he can think at all, what with the things he says.

[13:21] Alastor: However, if you intend on harming him in any way, even removing him...

[13:22] Alastor: I don't know what I'll do.

[13:22] Alastor: To be honest.

[13:23] * LordBarrius eyes Alastor. "If Mariel chooses to remove Ness from here, you'll deal with it. That's what you'll do."

[13:23] Mariel: Complacent.... indeed serveral are. Condescending... to descend to you at all requires condescension. Distastefull see the above comment about ungrateful ingrates...

[13:23] * Lkeas sighs and shakes her head before turning to Mariel. "What exactly is Falerin 'preoccupied' with? We can't seem to figure out why he's dragging Galrick around all over the place."

[13:24] Ness: As I said, Mariel, the Farpoint manages to avoid most of the things that make other pantheons unbearable

[13:24] Mariel: How in the 9 hells should I know... you are the purported prophet... why not prophesy... he has spoken to you more recently then me....

[13:25] * Lkeas laughs rather inappropriately, although the expression on her face is hurt. "Yeah... I suppose I should have prophesied Diviara coming and Amilara being forced to leave, too... maybe I could have done something about that..."

[13:26] * Paladin_Of_Souls fades in behind Mariel. "Whatsoever it may be, it did indeed lead towards myself being freed. Which you also know was supposed to be yet another one of his abject lessons." He nods towards Mariel deferently. "And good day to you, God of Chaos."

[13:26] * LordBarrius sighs slightly. "Surely he has his reasons. It would be nice to know, but perhaps he has his reasons for not telling us also."

[13:27] *** Jeice has joined #darkabode.

[13:27] *** Mode change "+ao Jeice Jeice" for channel #darkabode by Reality.

[13:30] * RoninOfDreams makes a gesture as if 'tasting' the air.

[13:30] * Lkeas leans over the arm of the couch and grabs a few scrolls. "It's not as though I can prophesy at will, anyway. I'll just have to glean information the usual way, through research."

[13:33] * LordBarrius seats himself beside his tote silently and again goes digging through his records.
