The Center of the Temporal Distortion

From Caelwiki

[00:57:13] <>Ambiance<> An odd warbling noise fills the abode and the house once again vanishes and reappears in yet another configuration

[00:58:08] * Granger walks out of the forest, looks up and raises an eyebrow, sure that the abode was here before he left.

[00:58:29] <>Ambiance<> A small bang is heard

[00:58:54] * Falerin (Falerin@idleasfrigginghell.Caelestia.Net) has joined #darkabode

[00:58:55] <Reality> [Falerin] <KatChianna> what is with you peoples and port 8067? <Scott> I dunno. Ask the port <Xyphos_Celestin> Port what now? <KatChianna> *** Notice -- Client connecting on port 8067: Xyphos_Celestin <KatChianna> Reens likes that one too <Xyphos_Celestin> That port is charismatic. I want to have its babies. <KatChianna> weirdo <Falerin> ZLOK apparently lusts after that unnatural port too

[00:58:55] * Reality sets mode: +qo Falerin Falerin

[00:58:58] * Granger catches a thunderous sound.

[00:59:04] * Mellisa looks around, slightly startled by the noise.

[00:59:07] <Granger> What is going on?

[00:59:32] <Falerin> "What in the nine hells is all of this then..."

[00:59:42] <Falerin> "Squatters?"

[01:00:12] <Granger> Hm?

[01:00:23] * Falerin turns and looks at Granger

[01:00:37] <Granger> Sir, I was returning to the home, when suddenly it vanished.

[01:00:52] <Granger> A complete mystery to myself, perhaps you can help me?

[01:00:53] <Falerin> "You have precisely negative two seconds to explain what you are doing in my home and who the hell you are"

[01:01:03] * Mellisa shrugs slightly, and decides to remain standing under the tree. Letting the locals deal with their own problems.

[01:01:21] <Granger> Oh I am Granger, I leaped here from alternate 375.

[01:01:50] * Falerin looks at Granger as if he has two heads

[01:01:59] <Granger> Terran alternate, I mean, I haven't any quarrel with any who live on these premises.

[01:02:17] <Granger> Did I say something foolish sir?

[01:02:25] <Falerin> "Terran?"

[01:02:39] <Granger> Yes, also known as Earth in some cases?

[01:02:46] * Falerin frowns

[01:03:12] <Falerin> I am familiar with Earth

[01:03:19] * Useless glances up and about, distubed from slumber for reasons as yet unknown to himself.

[01:03:26] <Falerin> "That fails to explain things very adequately...."

[01:03:38] <Granger> How so?

[01:03:44] * Falerin gestures and a small Telephone booth arises from the dust.

[01:04:06] * Falerin takes the phone off of the hook and punches some numbers in

[01:04:27] <Granger> Sir, may I ask, what is it your doing?

[01:04:41] <Granger> Pardon me for interrupting your call.

[01:04:55] <Falerin> "This is Falerin. Let me speak to Lord Aslyn

[01:05:06] <Granger> ...

[01:05:09] * Useless realizes yet another change has taken place to the abode, then notices a discussion ongoing nearby. After a quick stretch, he cautiously goes to see what is about.

[01:05:28] * Granger sits indian style in the dirt and watches Th strange yet powerful being.

[01:05:42] <Granger> ((the*))

[01:05:47] <Falerin> "Good evening Lord. I fear I shall be late for the Menagerie. I have something of a rather odd situation going on in my home....

[01:06:29] <Falerin> "Extrodinarily. A group of squatters have appeared from nowhere. Even more oddly none appear to be of a magnitude that can explain their presence here"

[01:06:34] * Ness ( Ness@2F6ECB50.9BC8DA26.A29168AC.IP) has joined #darkabode

[01:06:34] * Reality sets mode: +o Ness

[01:07:07] * Useless creeps close enough to notice Falerin and blinks. "An analog...?" he whispers softly to himself.

[01:07:08] <Falerin> "That's correct... some sort of.... Well the one is a Terran.... the others I cannot begin to wonder..."

[01:07:23] * Granger ponders, was it the house that was transported, or it's guests?

[01:07:38] <Falerin> "Send my regrets to Eldron. I did look forward to continuing our Quarrel...."

[01:08:13] <Falerin> "Yes indeed"

[01:08:15] * Falerin hangs up

[01:08:16] * Revenant is now known as Useless

[01:08:30] * Mariel appears in a flash of light....

[01:08:40] * Granger stands after seeing the being finish his conversation.

[01:08:44] * Useless looks at Falerin with an air of respect, but also wary of...and now suprised at Mariel.

[01:08:45] * Falerin looks at Mariel quite confused

[01:08:55] <Falerin> "Who are you...."

[01:09:00] * Granger is surprised by the other visitor.

[01:09:05] <Falerin> "Mariel, Scion of the Farpoint"

[01:09:13] <Falerin> "What do you mean by that?"

[01:09:17] * Ness wakes with a start

[01:09:23] <Falerin> "Really?"

[01:09:38] <Falerin> "I certainly would question your authority in these.....

[01:09:38] <Useless> "I take it, given your differing mannerisms, you are an analog to the Falerin we know. Curious...Mariel, might I inquire as to your purpose here?"

[01:09:48] <Falerin> "Yes well you get me here and we will talk....

[01:10:06] * Mariel turns and looks at Useless

[01:10:07] <Falerin> "

[01:10:17] <Granger> Hm... I suspected such as well, um...and you are my metallic friend?

[01:10:29] <Mariel> "It is simple Talo-Toecan.... you are currently about 2000 years in the past"

[01:10:55] <Mariel> "The falerin you see before you is not yet the Falerin you know....."

[01:11:00] * Useless grows more concerned. "The source of the temporal distortion leading to this change being...?"

[01:11:05] * Granger widens his eyes, surprised at such information.

[01:11:57] <Granger> A fine question indeed...

[01:12:00] <Mariel> "Though oddly the Falerin you know is in this time period but that was because he travelled back and went to Lore. And even that one would not know you as you are now because he is still from about 1000 years in the past caelestian time"

[01:12:19] <Falerin> "The vaugaries of cross dimensional temporal travel are a mess here"

[01:12:30] <Falerin> "You all claim to know me?"

[01:12:37] * Granger nods.

[01:12:41] * Ness sighs "Time travel...I HATE time travel."

[01:12:48] <Granger> Vaguely, but yes I know of you.

[01:13:03] <Mariel> "They all know you...."

[01:13:15] <Useless> "That much seems apparent, as otherwise a clearer answer might have been gained." He turns to Falerin for a moment, "In a manner of speaking, yes we do know you. I leave the explanation to Mariel, considering the potential for...complications..."

[01:13:57] <Ness> Yes, Falerin, we know you. Would you care to know HOW we know you or simply accept that we do? No disrespect in this question, of course, simply asking so I don't launch into a long winded explanation that you don't want to hear.

[01:13:58] <Mariel> "Explanations are not Forthcoming. This distortion is an unwelcome breach of the Farpoint"

[01:14:05] <Falerin> Farpoint?

[01:15:03] <Mariel> "Irrelevant, this distortion is an unacceptable chronological breach"

[01:15:16] <Useless> "Mariel, I merely was deferring to you in order to restrain from unwittingly interfering with the time streams and making this particular apparent breach into a larger issue than it already is."

[01:16:15] <Mariel> "Something or someone is engaging in temporal distortion. I am at the moment inclined toward the former. However the issue at hand does not look good for those of you who have already been warned about such .... machination"

[01:16:43] <Ness> Hm? Are you implying one of us has a hand in this?

[01:16:51] <Mariel> That you are the center of this effect, even if not its Genesis is more then slightly problematic

[01:16:54] <Useless> "So in more clear terms, we are being threatened with recrimination over this event."

[01:17:34] <Ness> Could this be the work of the Man in Black?

[01:17:44] <Mariel> "If such an effect centers on you and will continue to center on you. Your very existance on Caelestia threatens the directive"

[01:18:13] <Falerin> Therlion's Avatar has something to do with this?

[01:18:30] <Mariel> Dubious. Possibly

[01:18:40] <Useless> "Mariel, your concerns should be on the *cause* rather than the center of effect. After all, it is not the first time that a grand Shell Game is in the works."

[01:18:58] * Ness looks at Mariel "How much are we allowed to tell the Falerin of this time?"

[01:19:32] <Granger> Hm... this would be an excellent chance to rectify any future issues, though perhaps it best not to.

[01:19:34] <Mariel> "You miss the obvious point. If the effect requires you as a hook. The effect cannot take place if you no longer exist to issue the threat....

[01:19:52] * lightbringerlord opens his eyes as light rays fall behind him, more faintly this time

[01:19:56] <Ness> You're assuming that we're more than simply the center

[01:20:17] <Ness> It could be a coincidence or simply convenient for whatever is causing it to focus on us

[01:20:31] <Mariel> "I am the god of Chaos"

[01:20:46] <Mariel> "Coincidence... is a nonexistant premise"

[01:20:52] <Useless> "Ness, be wary what you say...Mariel apparently would rather remove us from the equation. Which might well be a greater misstep and solidify your position in the trap Mariel."

[01:20:59] * LB|Sleep is now known as LordBarrius

[01:21:06] <Granger> Hm, well a Zephyr I believe entered this world

[01:21:11] <Granger> .*

[01:21:14] <Ness> I was just pointing out other possibilities

[01:21:21] <Granger> Might he have any implication to this issue?

[01:22:21] <Mariel> "I am more or less certain that he does"

[01:22:45] <Granger> Hm...

[01:22:45] <Ness> Could this be the work of...what was the name? The project that was yanking us around

[01:22:46] <Ness> Delphi

[01:23:15] * Granger sits down once again indian style in the dirt, his head down and listens.

[01:23:48] <Ness> That was, I believe, at least partly the work of Dr. Zephyr

[01:23:51] <Useless> "Delphi had purposes that made themselves known, as far as I have been aware...and Orphic as an entity cannot be entirely to blame. Yet, regardless, the number of possibilities that have led to this precise conclusion still astound."

[01:24:35] * Useless glances between Mariel and Falerin several times. "I cannot, in all my logical freedoms, begin to comprehend why we are here and what our presence has already done."

[01:24:55] <Mariel> "Your own actions are responsible for being tied into this as you are to begin with"

[01:25:10] <Mariel> "In at least one sense therefore you are responsible for the effect"

[01:25:42] <Mariel> "None the less... for the moment I shall defer.... your own eventual fate is under advisement.

[01:25:51] <Ness> To simply remove us, though, would be like treating the symptoms instead of the infection.

[01:25:53] <Useless> "For the God of Chaos, you splice evidence together and argue points far greater than any...what was the term...lawyer."

[01:26:02] * Mariel gesures and reality folds inward Falerin vanishing entirely

[01:26:02] * Granger slips a medium sized bottle out of his pocket and slips it under the dirt, hoping nobody noticed, then pats the ground.

[01:26:15] * Mariel The abode reconfigures to the second form it had.....

[01:26:20] * Mariel vanishes

[01:26:22] * Falerin (Falerin@idleasfrigginghell.Caelestia.Net) has left #darkabode

[01:26:30] * Granger stands.

[01:26:35] * Useless makes an effort to lock Mariel's telepathic signature prior to the effect.

[01:26:44] <Granger> Hm...the word odd is an understatement in this world I suppose.

[01:26:53] <Ness> ((Wait, did the Abode simply reconfigure or are we back in present-day?))

[01:27:04] <lightbringerlord> ((doubt it))

[01:27:09] * Mariel reappears

[01:27:15] <lightbringerlord> ((see?))

[01:27:20] <Granger> ((present-day I think it reconfigured,due to us being in present day.))

[01:27:32] * points at Granger

[01:27:39] * Mariel points at Granger

[01:27:44] * Ness looks at Granger

[01:27:54] * Granger looks at Mariel, "yes?"

[01:27:56] <Ness> Oh no...you didn't...

[01:27:57] <>Ambiance<> A bottle flies out of the earth and explodes into a million peices

[01:28:02] * Ness winces

[01:28:06] <Granger> ...That was uncalled for.

[01:28:12] <Ness> That was really, REALLY stupid

[01:28:15] * Mellisa blinks a few times, starting to get concerned by another reconfiguration.

[01:28:24] <Granger> No. it was vintage.

[01:28:25] * Useless narrows his eyes at Mariel, weathering the small fragmented shards of glass without notice.

[01:28:34] <Mariel> And what pray might have happened since you buried that in the past mid transit

[01:28:45] <lightbringerlord> ((Lesson 1: DOn't joke with gods.))

[01:28:51] <Mariel> Had it been discovered by another

[01:29:14] <Mariel> Your actions are an overt violation of the farpoint

[01:29:23] <Granger> , the other may have felt quite uplifted after drinking such I suppose?

[01:29:25] * Granger was kicked by Reality (you are evicted (Falerin))

[01:29:54] * Ness sighs

[01:30:06] <Useless> "It is regrettable that your point is so clearly valid, even after my subtle warnings within our 'discussion'..."

[01:31:45] * Granger (kjmoney91@Caelestia-7A251B87.hsd1.nj.comcast.net) has joined #darkabode

[01:32:05] * Falerin sets mode: +b Granger!*@*

[01:32:59] * Useless continues to evaluate Mariel, his narrowed eyes never leaving the frame of the manifestation of the God of Chaos

[01:33:17] <lightbringerlord> ((Fal, I know you'll smite me for this but... you are a bit overreacting.))

[01:33:33] * Mariel scowls

[01:33:53] <Mariel> do some take exception to my sentence?

[01:34:12] * Ness watches silently

[01:34:51] <Mariel> The laws of the farpoint are not given to exception. Serian would have killed him for that.

[01:35:07] <Mariel> Violating the farpoint is a Capitol offense

[01:35:24] * Useless frowns softly. "I understand the logic behind issuing such a sentencing by the unwritten laws that we are not precisely privy to, even if by the same logic I am forced to wonder how you might have come to your position so apparently unoppposed."

[01:35:35] <Mariel> I happen to be a bit more laid back where such things are concern

[01:35:56] <Mariel> There is nothing subtle about this....

[01:36:09] <Mariel> That bottle did not exist 1500 years ago

[01:36:17] * Ness sighs

[01:36:19] <Mariel> Yet here it is buried in the soil

[01:36:29] <Mariel> To age in the intervening period

[01:36:37] <Useless> "I have not claimed subtlety was involved. Either in sentencing or in the offence itself."

[01:36:42] <Mariel> A huge bundle of displaced chronology

[01:37:07] <Ness> This is true. But in all fairness, it was just a drink.

[01:37:10] <Mariel> You are apparently of the conclusion that because it is a bottle.... its effects are negligible... After all its not sentient?

[01:37:45] * Useless glances at Ness. "I am saddened that the logic I was born with fails to be quite so commonplace...alas..."

[01:37:46] <Mariel> Very well then... I am the god of Chaos... You wish me to undo what I did... I shall do so...

[01:37:57] <Mariel> The burden is on you/....

[01:38:04] <Ness> No, no.

[01:38:12] * Mariel the bottle reassembles and flies back into the dirt

[01:38:13] <Ness> I fully agree the bottle should be removed.

[01:38:35] <Ness> However, in this instance it seems that education would be better than expulsion.

[01:39:04] <Granger> Why have I returned...?

[01:39:08] * lightbringerlord turns at Granger You ok?

[01:39:15] * Granger nods.

[01:39:18] * Ness walks to the spot the bottle flew to and quickly digs it up

[01:39:18] * Mariel vanishes

[01:39:24] <Ness> This should NOT remain.

[01:39:34] * Granger sighs.

[01:39:38] <Useless> "The damage is already done, Ness."

[01:39:48] <Granger> I can be so dense sometimes.

[01:39:54] <>Ambiance<> The abode shimmers and alters... all that is left is a burned out husk

[01:39:54] <Granger> Give that to me please.

[01:40:03] <lightbringerlord> What?!

[01:40:10] * LB|Dinner is now known as LordBarrius

[01:40:11] <lightbringerlord> Not again..

[01:40:18] * Ness sighs "Gods...sometimes they should just..." Ness sighs again.

[01:40:22] <>Ambiance<> The bottle vanishes from Ness' hand having been discovered sometime in the intervening years

[01:40:30] * Granger stares in shock as he jerks his neck nearly off to see the pile of burning rubble.

[01:40:44] * Useless scowls softly.

[01:40:45] <Granger> Argh!!!!!

[01:40:49] * Mellisa frowns deeply. "What the hell?"

[01:40:52] <>Ambiance<> The abode appears to haveb

[01:41:04] * Ness glances at the burned abode and looks up "Mariel, you know full well I didn't inted for the bottle to stay."

[01:41:08] * Granger punch's a tree which then falls over to knock down the one behind it.

[01:41:13] <>Ambiance<> The abode appears to have been destroyed some time ago. It has not been inhabited in centuries.

[01:41:25] <lightbringerlord> I wonder what will god of evil do when he sees a bunch of people staying at his burnt abode.

[01:41:25] <Useless> "By the Kindred's Spirit! The folly's of Man never cease!"

[01:41:46] * Granger sighs.

[01:42:07] <Granger> All this... over an old bottle of whiskey...

[01:42:27] <Ness> Your point is proven, Mariel.

[01:42:32] * Useless scowls further and two pinpricks of flame shimmer into existance. "This. Is. Wrong."

[01:42:40] <Granger> Worst of all I didn't even get to taste it.

[01:42:58] * Useless whirls on Ness. "The changes are far more DIRE than just the bottle itself."

[01:43:17] <Granger> I was not familiar with your laws, I broke them and now they pay the price truly wrong in all senses of the word.

[01:43:40] <Granger> ((price.*))

[01:43:45] * Ness looks at Useless "Did I say they weren't?"

[01:44:19] <Granger> What was his name, Mariel?

[01:44:29] <Useless> "Subtle warnings are lost on the lot of you all...this is wrong. Wrong. So very Wrong."

[01:44:31] <Granger> Is there a way to contact him?

[01:44:40] * Ness sighs

[01:44:42] <Ness> He's a god.

[01:44:44] <Ness> Try prayer.

[01:44:46] <lightbringerlord> Yeah, just break a law.

[01:44:59] <Granger> I'd rather not sir.

[01:45:10] <Useless> "Prayer...is not going to work."

[01:45:22] <Granger> But if prayer is what is needed, though it won't do much good, for he is not a god I share faith in.

[01:45:36] <Ness> I'm sure he's watching us now, anyway.

[01:45:38] <Useless> "Not prayer to Mariel. Nor Falerin."

[01:45:59] <lightbringerlord> Just wait then

[01:46:02] * Useless glares over at Ness as the pinpricks of flame begin to circle him in undulating sine patterns.

[01:46:03] <lightbringerlord> This isn't over.

[01:46:04] <Granger> Mariel!

[01:46:05] <Ness> And by the Gods of all realms, we don't want Serian involved in this.

[01:46:22] * Mellisa sighs, and walks over to the group. But remains silent, just trying to overhear.

[01:46:45] <Granger> I openly would like to be banned from this universe in order to save these people, just give me back the damned bottle and return me home before ths Occurence!

[01:46:45] <Ness> ((Him Useless or him Ness?)

[01:46:54] <Useless> ((Myself))

[01:46:59] <Ness> ((k))

[01:47:36] * Useless breathes deeply, attempting to center himself. "This is so wrong...and you all are so blind to it..."

[01:47:51] * Malice ( Z@Operator.Caelestia.net) Quit (Ping timeout)

[01:48:13] * Ness looks at Useless "Blind to it? You don't think I'm panicking on the inside? You don't think I'm scared on the inside?"

[01:48:17] * Granger hears no answer, nor sees a sign, and drops to his knees.

[01:48:33] <Ness> I'm just trying to think of a way to fix this and losing control isn't going to help that.

[01:48:44] * LordBarrius is now known as LB|AFK

[01:48:49] * Useless gestures for silence as he closes his eyes.

[01:49:05] <Granger> Please...I see you do not have high regards for me, but please turn things back to the way they were, for them, if not for them then to uphold your authority.

[01:49:43] <Useless> "Silence Granger...all of you, bide me a moment in silence...what is amiss bodes ill..."

[01:50:40] * Granger sits silently, falling back onto his rear tearing on his lap.

[01:51:29] <Voice> Who awakens me in my slumber....

[01:51:32] * Useless moves his hands in a complicated gesture, unwittingly moving to aid his focus as he tries to set up a blanket of nonexistance about them all with what telepathy he has.

[01:51:44] * Useless winces as the Voice issues...too late...

[01:51:57] * Ness looks around

[01:51:59] * Granger looks up speedily.

[01:52:11] <Granger> Is that the god know as Mariel?

[01:52:20] <Granger> ((known*))

[01:52:26] <Voice> Mariel is dead

[01:52:29] <Ness> I don't think so...

[01:52:39] <lightbringerlord> His body maybe.

[01:52:41] <Ness> Dead?

[01:52:50] <Useless> "Do not call for the other members of Farpoint either...they are dead or gone as well."

[01:52:57] <Granger> Then who are you sir? Are you one to repair this deed?

[01:53:14] <Voice> The upstart was killed off with his entire coeterie when they attempted to enslave me....

[01:53:35] <lightbringerlord> Who are you?

[01:53:49] <lightbringerlord> ((I can think only one name..))

[01:53:56] * Useless grimaces and gives all who are awake a very, very crystal clear impression of DANGER via his telepathy...and a warning to be very careful in their words.

[01:54:26] <lightbringerlord> (( Therlion )))

[01:54:29] * Granger nods though his eyes not fixed on the one relaying the message.

[01:54:55] <Ness> May we ask your name?

[01:55:36] <Voice> I am ImmerÜbel

[01:56:08] <Granger> May I call you Im for short sir?

[01:56:13] * Mellisa remains silent and still. Not wanting to be offending. Though, worries slightly about the fact her long white dress, with various decrotive frills, might cause a reaction from said voice.

[01:56:22] <lightbringerlord> Why did the Farpoint gods try to enslave you?

[01:56:26] <Ness> And your position?

[01:56:33] <Useless> "Granger, if you do not show respect and watch your tongue...you may well regret it."

[01:57:06] * Granger looks to Useless, "I've had enough of your two sense droid, silence yourself."

[01:57:16] <Voice> I am EndloseBösartigkeit

[01:57:28] * Ness looks at Granger "Silence."

[01:57:42] <Ness> Now is NOT the time for internal quarrels.

[01:58:08] <Ness> I am afraid I'm not familiar with the term, ImmerUbel.

[01:58:21] <Granger> Very well EndloseBösartigkeit can you help restore this world to it's former way?

[01:58:39] * Useless brushes Granger's insult aside for the time being and focuses on attempting to either glean knowledge from the Voice...or by telepathic resounances that might remain.

[01:59:16] <Voice> In worlds other then these I have been called Cthulu

[01:59:33] <lightbringerlord> ((Research time!))

[02:00:25] <Voice> Fleisch kosten lassene Verdorbenheit

[02:00:38] * Granger is now fully confused.

[02:01:11] <Ness> I mean no disrespect, but I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with you.

[02:01:13] * Useless closes his eyes again and runs several loops of logic in his still clockwork-esque mind.

[02:02:07] * Ness appears

[02:02:22] * Useless appears

[02:02:27] <lightbringerlord> Terran langueage..

[02:02:29] * Granger appears

[02:02:31] <lightbringerlord> *language

[02:02:35] * Lkeas appears

[02:02:40] * Damsel appears

[02:02:47] * Marrin appears

[02:02:58] * Lightbringerlord appears

[02:03:01] * Useless glances at the new arrivals with interest...while also keeping well in mind the danger of the situation.

[02:03:04] * FulcanRyst appears

[02:03:18] <lightbringerlord> My... analog?

[02:03:23] <lightbringerlord> But I don't have one.

[02:03:25] * Granger eyes his counter part still confused, yet his counter part seeming more so.

[02:03:34] <>Ambiance<> One by one ALL of the truth seekers appear

[02:03:42] * Ness looks around

[02:03:52] * Granger looks around the perimeter.

[02:04:02] <Voice> (coming from the truthseekers) I am the truth

[02:04:06] <Voice> (coming from the truthseekers) I am you

[02:04:20] * Useless would mention the total fallacy of such an assumption by lightbringerlord, but he is far too busy otherwise. In this case, attempting to telepathically probe his doppleganger.

[02:04:37] * Ness stares at his counterpart

[02:04:53] <Voice> I am EndloseBösartigkeit

[02:05:29] <Voice> I am the darkness within the soul. All who live and breath and do wickedness by their nature worship me even if they follow another

[02:06:01] <Voice> I am the revelation of all wickedness. The awakening of all corrupt potentials.

[02:06:41] * Mellisa shrugs, and still refrains from commenting.

[02:07:25] * Useless sighs before voicing a potentially very dangerous question. "Then what of your counterpart? Where stands that which embodies the light within all souls, they who live and breathe and do good by thier nature?"

[02:08:11] * Granger hears these words escape Useless's lips and can't help but look to where the voice comes from to await an answer.

[02:08:18] * Ness winces

[02:08:45] <Voices> Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn

[02:09:12] <Granger> Your language is foreign to my knowledge.

[02:12:30] * Useless glances at his counterpoint and yet again attempts to establish a telepathic bridge.

[02:13:20] * ComputaFreak ( ComputaFre@C3E9E3BB.C4D71162.B1594542.IP) has joined #darkabode

[02:13:41] * ComputaFreak re-appears, hands covered by gloves

[02:13:46] <ComputaFreak> "Hello all"

[02:14:10] <Useless> "Even though eventually I might decipher what you say, Cthulu, I doubt you would give me either the time nor the energy to do so. So I ask you, politely, to speak clearly in a language we few can truly understand."

[02:14:49] <>Ambiance<> The abode reappears

[02:15:02] * Ness looks at the abode "Huh..."

[02:15:18] * Granger scratches his head in bewilderment.

[02:15:20] <>Ambiance<> The voice fades to nonexistance

[02:15:45] <Ness> What...

[02:15:48] <>Ambiance<> A bottle flies up from the dirt and explodes into a million shards

[02:15:57] * ComputaFreak looks around from his position in the forest and begins to walk back to the abode

[02:16:11] * Ness looks around "Mariel?"

[02:16:17] <Granger> I have a feeling I'm leaving...

[02:16:32] * Useless blinks, recognition coming quite clear to the event at hand. He whispers in the barest telepathic whisper to Ness. "This time, the sentence stays."

[02:16:46] <lightbringerlord> I felt, strange. Like somone was manipulating me.

[02:16:47] <Mariel> The bottle was an increasing mass of chronological displacement.

[02:16:48] * Ness nods slightly to Useless

[02:16:51] <lightbringerlord> *someone

[02:17:20] * Granger nods.

[02:17:20] <Mariel> it was discovered by Therlion's Avatar when spying on Falerin and attempting to unseat him

[02:17:53] <Mariel> The avatar used that energy to create a rift and kill the four farpoint deities before they ever arose to power

[02:18:30] <Mariel> He then seated himself in the throne of power and amassed an army of the dark gods to overthrow the rest of the pantheon

[02:18:36] <Useless> "All actions have consequences."

[02:18:43] <Granger> I am... truly sorry, beyond forgiving, I am deeply sorry.

[02:19:23] * Ness nods to Mariel "As I said, the bottle is a problem."

[02:19:32] <Mariel> he then absorbed the other dark gods they became one great amalgam. The living embodiment of the very corruption within creation that The'Galin fights

[02:19:56] <Mariel> He spread himself throughout the entire local omniverse before slumbering

[02:20:22] <Granger> ... And I awoke him?

[02:20:40] <Mariel> You would have MADE him.....

[02:20:41] <Mariel> You would have MADE him....

[02:20:49] <Mariel> Not awoken... Created...

[02:21:06] <Mariel> The smallest act can have the gravest consequence.

[02:21:18] <Mariel> Consider that simulated reality your ultimate warning.....

[02:21:31] * ComputaFreak watches with great interest

[02:21:33] <Useless> "Which adds yet more weight to your arguement for our removal, unfortunately."

[02:21:34] <Granger> I... understand.

[02:21:35] <Granger> ....Take me away now, please.

[02:21:42] <Mariel> Violate the farpoint again even accidentally... and you WILL be held accountable.... and next time it will not be an eviction

[02:21:56] <Mariel> I am weary of the mess you people make

[02:22:03] <Mariel> It's all on you now

[02:22:06] * Granger seems surprised.

[02:22:20] <Granger> Well, thank you I am truly in debt to you sir.

[02:22:24] * Ness sighs "Mariel...no disrespect, but do you really think its easy on us either?"

[02:22:51] <Granger> May I ask for a list of all rules and regulations of the Farpoint?

[02:22:56] <Mariel> What pray makes you think I care whats easy on you Ness

[02:22:57] <Useless> "No, you must realize, the sword now hangs by the merest thread above our heads Granger. All of our heads."

[02:23:02] <Granger> So as to abide them all of course.

[02:23:15] <Granger> I understand.

[02:23:18] <Mariel> What delusion would make you believe that what is easy on you matters to me in the slightest

[02:23:33] * Ness shrugs "Not a thing"

[02:24:03] <Mariel> You are guests in my world. And while Falerin will be held accountable for opening the door to you. YOU shall be held accountable for the veil YOU have unleashed

[02:24:44] <Mariel> Do not cry to me about fairness. Do not worry me with your distress. I am cold to your plight. I am chaos. Not kindness.

[02:25:30] <>Ambiance<> A in rush of air is heard and Mariel vanishes. Notably the abode is still not in its original configuration but rather in that second configuration that appeared yesterday.
