The Epic - Session IV

From Caelwiki

[20:07] <>Ambiance<> Wind. A cold harsh wind drives the citizens of New York to ground with greater intensity then normal. Walking is difficult and staying outside in the wind quickly becomes painful. The weather marks the latest in a series of odd wether phenomena that have nailed manhattan in recent memory.
[20:08] * Namegduf_Live sets mode: +v-ao Namegduf_Live Namegduf_Live Namegduf_Live
[20:08] * Namegduf_Live is now known as Reven
[20:08] * Crash is now known as Hsarc
[20:09] <>Ambiance<> In spite of this the solitary figure sits on the bench at the edge of Washington Square park tapping idly on his laptop not seeming noticing that every one is moving with greater intensity into and out of the Greenwich village buildings arround.
[20:09] <Falerin> <Begin Day One>
[20:09] * xaxtoo has joined #werewolf
[20:09] * SemiRPG sets mode: +ao xaxtoo xaxtoo
[20:09] <>Ambiance<> Villagers Open Your Eyes
[20:10] * Randal_Moonash yells and thuds, belly flopping onto the snow in what appears to have been a badly ending teleport, right onto the sidewalk
[20:10] * Reven crawls out of the lake, soaking wet.
[20:10] <Reven> Blasted water.
[20:10] <Reven> Hit it the last five times.
[20:10] * Shock stagers to his feet
[20:10] <Reven> Least I didn't have to float fifty kilometres to shore this time...
[20:10] * Reven gets to his feet.
[20:11] * Avarie shudders with the cold, pulling her faux-furlined jacket closer about her.
[20:11] * Randal_Moonash stands, groaning a bit, brushing off his drenched trenchcoat
[20:11] * Julian_Lordspear looks out the window at the morons outside... swimming?!?
[20:11] <Shock> So..are we back in this NYC or the computer one again..
[20:11] * Reven waves his left hand, then shrugs when nothing happens.
[20:11] * Reven looks at the nearby Shock, wondering as to the topic of conversation.
[20:12] * Nicholas_Rayje has left #werewolf
[20:12] * Randal_Moonash looks about to see whos around
[20:12] * Elaith lands on his feet, takes a step forward, and trips over a root, quickly picking himself up *
[20:12] <Reven> Hmm.
[20:12] * Takun is now known as Naota
[20:12] * Avarie in her hurry, takes a wrong step and starts to slide. With an "oooff" she falls onto her backside and skids, only coming to a stop when she hits the bench
[20:13] * Reven smiles.
[20:13] <Reven> Heh.
[20:13] * Julian_Lordspear puts on a large overcoat and steps outside, fighting the icy winds.
[20:13] * Naota sets mode: +v-ao Naota Naota Naota
[20:14] * Reven wanders over to Shock.
[20:14] * Naota sits on a bench and glances idly at the strange people over his newspaper
[20:14] * Avarie attempts to stand up, but the icy walkway leaves her unsteady and she ends up grabbing the stranger with the laptop for support.
[20:14] <Reven> So... who would you be?
[20:14] <Avarie> "Oh, I'm terribly sorry"
[20:15] <Reven> Given I seem to either have arrived in your vicinity...
[20:15] <Reven> Or been drawn into it.
[20:15] <Shock> Just a random humanoid who happend to end up here..
[20:15] <Reven> Another traveller...
[20:15] <Shock> where did Scared get off to..
[20:15] * Hsarc rolls over, and feels oddly cold. He rubs his eyes and slowly stands up, sliding as he does so. "This is not the Inn where I feel asleep." He sees a group of people and wanders over to them.
[20:15] * Shock feels very alone
[20:15] <Randal_Moonash> "Wheres... everyone? oh.. Shock?
[20:15] <Reven> How interesting...
[20:16] * Shock runs over to Hsarc
[20:16] <Morgan> "Gah"
[20:16] * Randal_Moonash limps over, apparently having hurt his knee in the fall
[20:16] <Shock> Hey so did you finaly get her-Morgan?
[20:16] * Julian_Lordspear struggles out toward the stupid people chatting in the harsh winds outside
[20:16] <Hsarc> Now I remember him. He is Morgan. But who are all these other people? Heh. Must be locals.
[20:16] <Shock> When did he get here..
[20:16] * Randal_Moonash looks over
[20:17] * Galrick shudderss as Avarie grabs him
[20:17] <Shock> Long story, but most of them seem as safe as anyone at least.
[20:17] <Julian_Lordspear> "What on EARTH are you people doing out here?  It's far too cold to be chatting outside today!"
[20:17] <Randal_Moonash> Necromancers, sithspit. What next?
[20:17] <Galrick> "I beg your pardon?"
[20:17] <Reven> Local?
[20:17] <Reven> I'm not particularly local...
[20:17] <Avarie> I'm sorry.  There's just ice everywere.  I'm afraid I'm a bit of a clutz
[20:18] * Avarie giggles nervously.
[20:18] <Galrick> "Oh"
[20:18] * Naota has left #werewolf
[20:18] <Hsarc> So you're here on vacation? By the way, where exactly IS here?
[20:18] <Galrick> "Yes the ice is quite unpleasant... Seems odd for mid fall"
[20:18] <Reven> Heh.
[20:18] * Takun has joined #werewolf
[20:18] * SemiRPG sets mode: +ao Takun Takun
[20:18] <Randal_Moonash> Shock... where did everyone go? Does this happen often?
[20:18] <Shock> Here would be "new york city" i hear.
[20:18] <Reven> This isn't my kind of vacation...
[20:18] * Galrick turns back to his laptop idly
[20:18] * Elaith attempts to climb a tree once more and falls back down again, giving up due to its icy feel, finally giving up *
[20:18] <Shock> everyone? the spells seem to have people arive late sometimes..
[20:19] <Randal_Moonash> "and what is this weather... it is still October isnt it? this is definately Manhatten..."
[20:19] <Hsarc> New York City? Would any of you happen to know about Immertot and evil gods and what not?
[20:19] <Reven> Immertot rings a bell.
[20:19] <Hsarc> That is what I was in the middle of last I remember.
[20:19] <Shock> Well, Randal does a bit..
[20:19] * Julian_Lordspear stares at the people who still cavorted outside, talking about the weather. Well, if frostbite claimed them all, it was none of his business.
[20:19] * Avarie peers at Galrick curiously. "Aren't you cold? There are coffee houses open which are much more well suited for computer work than in this storm
[20:19] <Randal_Moonash> "Er... who are you?... well I do now..."
[20:19] <Reven> Mentioned by someone... elsewhere... a long time back.
[20:19] <Shock> we were sent back there for a short time..
[20:19] <Shock> a friend, Moonash
[20:19] <Reven> As for evil gods... there are many...
[20:19] <Randal_Moonash> "Well, judging by what Falerin said to me... he doesnt want me on Immertot..."
[20:20] * Reven stops.
[20:20] <Hsarc> Falerin? So you do know what I am talking about?
[20:20] <Reven> Falerin... Falerin... I know that name...
[20:20] <Shock> Yes...he has met him indeed..
[20:20] * Takun is now known as Takun|GunZ
[20:20] * Julian_Lordspear creeps back to his dwelling and slams the door on the whining air outside.
[20:20] <Reven> I'm guessing he is the evil god of which you speak?
[20:21] <Randal_Moonash> "Well, I guess. I actually live near here. Yesterday, somehow, I get all mixed up in all this stuff.... ending with teleportation, laptops that alter reality, necromancy..."
[20:21] <Randal_Moonash> "well, on Irc, he proffers himself a god... but at this point I dont know what's real and what's not.
[20:21] <Elaith> Er... who are you? *glances around and notices several people have appeared*
[20:21] <Shock> He allmost killed Falerin's avatar by makeing him bring a bottle of juice none the less through realms..
[20:21] <Hsarc> Well, Reven, I'm not so sure he is the evil god anymore. The entire situation has me totally confused.
[20:21] <Randal_Moonash> "Oi! I wasn't trying.."
[20:21] <Randal_Moonash> "He offered!"
[20:21] <Reven> They are indeed an evil god...
[20:22] <Shock> I know you were not trying to, but...
[20:22] * Avarie peers over Galrick's shoulder at what he must find interesting enough to stay outside with in this weather.
[20:22] <Reven> A well known one.
[20:22] <Reven> Travels mostly... steals books apparently.
[20:22] * Randal_Moonash moves over to Avarie
[20:22] * Shock laughs
[20:22] <Randal_Moonash> I'm sorry. This is going to sound insane... but what month is it?"
[20:22] <Shock> well its quite a story at least
[20:22] * Galrick stands up and nods politely to Avarie before entering the park... the only thing she sees of his activities before he closes his PC is a grey rabbit
[20:22] <Reven> I'd like to see what happened if I set his stores on fire...
[20:22] <Reven> Heh.
[20:22] <Avarie> err..  October, though nearing the end
[20:22] <Reven> So, who would you people be?
[20:22] * Elaith notices people talking quite animatedly and moves closer to listen in a bit*
[20:22] <Randal_Moonash> What... wait... Glenn?
[20:23] * Randal_Moonash shakes his head for a moment
[20:23] <Reven> There are events involving Caelestia her-
[20:23] * Reven turns to Elaith
[20:23] * Galrick crosses the park rapidly not appearing to notice the assemblage of oddities
[20:23] <Reven> Do you mind?
[20:23] <Reven> We are having a conversation here.
[20:23] <Randal_Moonash> Sorry... this weathers insane.. looks like I didn't miss much time... Glenn? damn... missed him..."
[20:23] <Reven> It involves your world and possibly your life, but not you as a participant.
[20:24] * Randal_Moonash excuses himself from avarie heading after Galrick
[20:24] <Elaith> My apologies. It just seemed very interesting as something to listen to. My life has been rather dull as of late.
[20:24] <Randal_Moonash> "Galrick! Wait up...!"
[20:24] <Reven> May you live in interesting times.
[20:24] * Reven turns back and notices the person leaving.
[20:24] <Reven> Heh...
[20:24] <Shock> Randal, mabye now is not the best...too late for now at least..
[20:24] * Reven runs after.
[20:25] * Shock sighs
[20:25] * Randal_Moonash slowly slows down, his knee visibly hurting him
[20:25] * Shock runs after Moonash
[20:25] <Shock> You allright?
[20:25] * Randal_Moonash winces and limps back
[20:25] <Randal_Moonash> "Yeah.. banged my knee..."
[20:26] * Julian_Lordspear turns on the radio and attempts to zero past the static in the air
[20:26] * Reven ignores Randal, continuing after the departing Galrick.
[20:26] * Takun|GunZ is now known as Takun
[20:27] <Shock> Well what now..
[20:27] * Takun is now known as Takun|Foodstuffs
[20:27] * Elaith wishes Reven safety as well, but Reven has already left *
[20:27] * Avarie shakes her head in confusion, shrugs, and continues on her way to the bookstore.
[20:27] <Shock> Thrown back into the NYC, and now the beast is here.
[20:27] <Randal_Moonash> "Are you sure?"
[20:27] * Reven runs back, having lost Galrick.
[20:27] <Shock> Falerin said he would follow us..
[20:27] <Reven> So... back to what we were discussing...
[20:28] <Randal_Moonash> "but it may not come each time?"
[20:28] <Reven> There are events involving Caelestia here?
[20:28] <Shock> Yes..there are..
[20:28] <Reven> Or is there some... other reason this god has become involved?
[20:28] * Sasori_Yaiba has quit IRC (Drowned: �)
[20:28] <Shock> Look. Leave. Now. Just run far away.
[20:28] <Hsarc> I've not the slightest idea. Last I knew, I was sleeping in an Inn outside of a forst in Immertot. Then I awoke here to find all of you.
[20:28] * Reven waves his hand again.
[20:28] <Reven> I really don't think I can.
[20:29] <Reven> Not working, as unpredictable as my skills are.
[20:29] <Shock> Look why do you keep...skills?
[20:29] <Reven> And I've never been one to be afraid to meddle in the affairs of the gods...
[20:29] * Elaith pulls his coat closer and decides the best thing to do may be go and read a book considering the chilly climate, and heads towards the bookstore *
[20:29] <Randal_Moonash> "Magic energy on earth is low. I don't think that will work"
[20:29] <Reven> Or to fear for my own existance, heh.
[20:29] <Shock> are you a wizzard as well..more magic great..magic is not this bad of a thing back at my home..
[20:29] <Randal_Moonash> "though this weather is driving me nuts..."
[20:30] <Reven> A wizard...
[20:30] <Reven> Of a sort, perhaps...
[20:30] <Shock> Its also not as powerfull..
[20:30] <Julian_Lordspear> "And still this stupid thing doesn't work.  Ah well.  I should probably go out for some groceries."
[20:30] * Johnno has joined #werewolf
[20:30] <Randal_Moonash> "Alright, lets just see the situation. Most of these guys ive never seen..."
[20:30] * Julian_Lordspear straps on his coat and leaves, walking briskly out for a store.
[20:31] <Shock> Allright..
[20:31] <Randal_Moonash> "This whole teleport throguh relms thing is doing wonders of damage on my confusion..."
[20:31] * Avarie takes a seat in the bookstore's cafe near the open windows. She continually glances up from her paperback to peer at the people gathered outside in the storm.
[20:31] <Shock> Just try not to think about it..
[20:31] <Shock> lets think from where we are now.
[20:31] <Reven> So... you are locals... drawn into the affairs of the gods...
[20:31] <Randal_Moonash> "Well, we lost galrick.. but we know he's here.."
[20:31] * Elaith continues down the street towards the bookstore, careful not to fall on ice, with people commenting on the plaid coat in whispers as he walks on
[20:31] <Shock> No..
[20:31] <Reven> With some others from other places...
[20:31] <Shock> i am hardly a local
[20:31] <>Ambiance<> The sky is lit up by a flash of intense light.
[20:32] <Randal_Moonash> "I'm from New york.. cant speak for the others"
[20:32] <Shock> !?
[20:32] * Randal_Moonash covers his eyes
[20:32] * Reven looks up to the sky.
[20:32] <Randal_Moonash> ow...
[20:32] <>Ambiance<> A tremendous roar fills the sky
[20:32] <Reven> Heh...
[20:32] <Shock> The beast? It is here..
[20:32] * Julian_Lordspear glances upwards, mouth an O of surprise
[20:32] <Shock> Scared where are you..
[20:32] <Randal_Moonash> That's the beast?!
[20:32] * Elaith looks around startled *
[20:32] <Randal_Moonash> "you have GOT to be kidding..."
[20:32] <Shock> Im not sure..
[20:32] <Hsarc> The beast?
[20:33] * Reven is still staring into the light, ignoring the pain now shooting through his eyes.
[20:33] * Avarie puts her book down, forgotten and studies the sky
[20:33] <>Ambiance<> It begins to snow
[20:33] <Reven> A beast?
[20:33] <Randal_Moonash> "Wait... what?!"
[20:33] <Shock> Snow again..
[20:33] <Reven> Ah, more snow.
[20:33] <Reven> Meaning more yellow. Or not.
[20:33] <Randal_Moonash> "the last time it snowed in October... let's see... well i was in another.. well anyway it was more than a decade ago..."
[20:33] <Randal_Moonash> "Man.."
[20:33] * Julian_Lordspear curses under his breath and heads along the road at a run, determined to reach the store before the snow got too deep.
[20:33] <Randal_Moonash> "Its NEVER been this cold.."
[20:33] * Elaith wonders if he really heard anything or if it were his imagination and pulls on his hood *
[20:33] <Shock> Hsarc, you were there..
[20:34] <Shock> you had the dreams as well and you know it.
[20:34] <Hsarc> I recall those now.
[20:34] * Reven looks at the snow in almost awe.
[20:34] <Reven> Across the verses, the one consistent, most resistent to control, part of chaos is weather...
[20:34] * Reven looks back at the people.
[20:34] <Hsarc> There were a group of you that denied the dreams, yet deep down you knew you had them.
[20:34] <Reven> Heh.
[20:34] <Shock> It has not been that long at all...What has this teleportaion done to your memory?
[20:34] <Hsarc> The beast...I understand now.
[20:35] <Reven> A beast...
[20:35] <Shock> Yes..
[20:35] <Reven> Nearby?
[20:35] <Reven> Far?
[20:35] * Takun|Foodstuffs has quit IRC (Ping timeout�)
[20:35] <Reven> Among us?
[20:35] <Shock> I...I dont know.
[20:35] <Reven> Some combination?
[20:35] <Shock> But here..somewhere
[20:35] <Reven> So nearby.
[20:35] <Shock> in the realm at least
[20:35] <Reven> Ah.
[20:35] <Hsarc> I have been in a prison for the better half of my life. I spent years in a room with no windows. No light. My mind is a puzzle now.
[20:35] <Shock> Mabye not near
[20:35] <Reven> Heh.
[20:35] <Randal_Moonash> "who knows... all i know is realitys been fuzzed here.."
[20:35] * Julian_Lordspear walks quickly past the group of people gabbing nonsensically about beasts
[20:36] * Reven turns to look at Julian.
[20:36] <Randal_Moonash> "one... random roars do NOT come from the sky. two: it does not snow... not this much, in october, in New york City."
[20:36] * Reven watches them.
[20:36] <Reven> All is not as it seems.
[20:36] * X has joined #werewolf
[20:36] * SemiRPG sets mode: +ao X X
[20:36] <Shock> The beast will destroy..and we have no other true options now, Scared is not here..
[20:36] <Randal_Moonash> "but morgan is...."
[20:36] * Elaith enters the book store and picks up a book on Machiavelli, then orders a coffee, sits, and looks through it *
[20:36] <>Ambiance<> The sky is lit up by a flash of intense light.
[20:36] * Shock shudders
[20:36] * Randal_Moonash looks about for morgan...
[20:36] <Shock> Again!?
[20:37] <>Ambiance<> A tremendous roar fills the sky
[20:37] * Julian_Lordspear freezes and glares up at the sky
[20:37] * Reven looks up again.
[20:37] <Randal_Moonash> "What... is that sound?!"
[20:37] * Hsarc shields his eyes from the light.
[20:37] * Elaith spills coffee on his lap *
[20:37] <Elaith> I know I wasnt hearing things this time...
[20:37] * Avarie stands at the window, staring out through the falling snow, as a shudder passes through her.
[20:37] <Shock> Am i the only one who dose not think that to be at all farmiliar of a noise?
[20:37] <>Ambiance<> Lightniing strikes the ligntning rod of one of the nearby buildings
[20:37] * X is now known as X|WoW
[20:37] <Shock> What the..
[20:37] <Randal_Moonash> "Ok... lightning is IMPOSSIBLE in this cold..."
[20:37] <Reven> This are getting quite... electrifying.
[20:37] <>Ambiance<> The snow intensifies
[20:37] <Shock> snow first now lighting..
[20:38] <Shock> this makes no sence
[20:38] <Shock> get inside
[20:38] <Julian_Lordspear> "What the...  Oh dear....  I'm going to be caught out here..."
[20:38] <Reven> Sense is overrated.
[20:38] <Randal_Moonash> "Lightning in a snowstorm? Ive seen that maybe ONCE?!"
[20:38] <Hsarc> Something is wrong here.
[20:38] <Elaith> Looks like we may get snowed in this bookstore, eh miss?
[20:38] <Randal_Moonash> "ya think!?"
[20:38] <Shock> just find shelter this cannot be good.
[20:38] <Reven> I wouldn't say that, but something is definitely afoot.
[20:38] <Randal_Moonash> "Where'd morgan go.."
[20:38] * Sasori_Yaiba has joined #werewolf
[20:38] * Reven snickers.
[20:38] <Julian_Lordspear> "Thunder in winter always sounds so ominous..."
[20:38] * Avarie glances at Elaith. "In this weather, I'd be more concerned about the power going out... and the heat."
[20:38] <Shock> I dont know where he went..
[20:39] <Randal_Moonash> "Thats because it DOESNT happen.."
[20:39] <Reven> There's a lot more Ominous than that, my dear, for the God is afoot.
[20:39] * Lord_Me has quit IRC (Ping timeout�)
[20:39] * Reven is addressing Julian.
[20:39] <Shock> God?
[20:39] * Julian_Lordspear shakes his finger at the sky
[20:39] <Elaith> Well, at least we are inside and relatively safe.... *searches for the woman's name*
[20:39] <Reven> Of Evil...
[20:40] * Avarie finally tears her gaze away from the window.
[20:40] <Reven> Unless he's had a change of heart.
[20:40] <Shock> What do you know of him and how?
[20:40] <Julian_Lordspear> "Very religious sounding, but this is NOT natural!  Or did you realize that?"
[20:40] <Randal_Moonash> "I would worry less about a god of evil and more of all this stuff..."
[20:40] <Avarie> I'm sorry.  I'm being rude.  My name is Avarie.
[20:40] <Reven> I've told you...
[20:40] * Avarie extends her hand to Elaith.
[20:40] <>Ambiance<> Lightniing strikes the ligntning rod of one of the nearby buildings
[20:40] <Reven> I've heard of him... he isn't exactly unknown...
[20:40] <>Ambiance<> A tremendous roar fills the sky
[20:40] * Elaith warmly shakes Avarie's hand*
[20:40] <Shock> More..
[20:40] * Julian_Lordspear glares at the sky again
[20:40] <Randal_Moonash> "what is this!?"
[20:40] <Shock> lighting..
[20:40] <Reven> I've even spent a brief time in Caelestia... although I was not exactly made to feel welcome where I arrived... and managed to depart fairly quickly.
[20:41] <Elaith> I am Elaith. It is a pleasure to meet you.
[20:41] <Shock> this cant happen..
[20:41] <Randal_Moonash> "this is... not good.."
[20:41] <Reven> Heh.
[20:41] <Reven> Everything here is so screwed up.
[20:41] <Elaith> We'd best be getting a bit farther away from this window with the storm being so fierce.
[20:41] <Shock> Well i dont belive we have crossed paths before. Greetings.
[20:41] <Randal_Moonash> "but it is happening.. I know falerin said something was messing up... but this is just insane"
[20:41] <Hsarc> I fail to see how it CAN'T happen when it very clearly IS happening right in front of us.
[20:41] * Takun|Foodstuffs has joined #werewolf
[20:41] <Reven> Hello.
[20:41] <Randal_Moonash> "Well, physics says no.
[20:41] <Avarie> Those fools, don't they realize how dangerous it is to be outside right now?
[20:41] <Reven> Physics is overrated.
[20:42] <Randal_Moonash> "It's clear Physics is changing. And we should go inside"
[20:42] <Reven> I was rather annoyed at being uprooted beforehand..
[20:42] <Julian_Lordspear> "Will you all stop babbling?  This is very seriously dangerious wether!"
[20:42] <>Ambiance<> the heavy artic wind gusts blowing the rapidly falling fine powdery snow all arround at a rapid rate of speed
[20:42] <Reven> But now I think I would much rather be here than back where I was.
[20:42] * Avarie crosses over to the door, and grimacing into the wind, shouts at those standing about in the park.
[20:42] <Randal_Moonash> "alright... thats it... " *starts heading for the bookstore"
[20:42] * Reven grins.
[20:42] <Avarie> "Are you crazy? Get inside!"
[20:42] <Hsarc> I can agree with you, stranger. I'm glad to be out of prison.
[20:42] <Reven> Crazy, I have been called.
[20:42] <Reven> Hehe.
[20:42] * Shock follows Moonash
[20:42] * Elaith smiles a bit, noticing the quite commanding tone Avarie carries *
[20:43] * Reven doesn't move.
[20:43] * Shock sighs as he enters
[20:43] * Sasori_Yaiba has left #werewolf
[20:43] <Shock> Well...i have seen worse..
[20:43] * Julian_Lordspear follows Moonash, hoping the store will have emergency power
[20:43] * Avarie moves away from the door and the freezing air.
[20:43] <>Ambiance<> A bicycle messenger stops right in front of Randal
[20:43] <Shock> Nothing can beat Blood rain..
[20:43] <Randal_Moonash> "Umm... hi?"
[20:43] * Hsarc follows the group who knew about Immertot towards shelter.
[20:43] <Galrick> "Randal Moonash?"
[20:44] <Randal_Moonash> "Galrick? We just saw you!"
[20:44] * Elaith runs out for Reven *
[20:44] <Messgnege> Randal Moonash?
[20:44] * Reven suddenly shudders,
[20:44] <Randal_Moonash> "er...y es?"
[20:44] <Elaith> Sir, you'd best be inside. It is safer there.
[20:44] <>Ambiance<> Galrick is nowhere to be found though his voice was clearly heard moments ago by Randal
[20:44] <Randal_Moonash> "what in the.."
[20:44] * Reven is suddenly aware of how he is still wet from arriving via a icy cold pond, and barrels straight into the store.
[20:44] * Julian_Lordspear pushes past the moron staring at nothing and enters the store.
[20:44] <Messenger> This package is for you sign hee please
[20:45] <Randal_Moonash> "er.. sure..."
[20:45] * Reven knocks several books onto the floor as he does so.
[20:45] * Elaith is whipped across the face by snow, causing several red dots and dashes after Reven back into the bookstore *
[20:45] <Falerin> ((BEATS HIS NEW KEYBOARD TO DEATH))
[20:45] * Randal_Moonash signs trying to see what it is, but more concerned about the weather
[20:45] * Hsarc wanders into the store, wondering why he bothers going on in misery.
[20:45] <Reven> Heh...
[20:45] <Julian_Lordspear> "Ugh.  Bloody weather.  I wonder if they've got that new novel in?"
[20:45] * Messenger hands Randal a slightly scratched up black notebook computer
[20:46] * Reven shivers and moves to the back of the store, where it is relatively quiet.
[20:46] <Randal_Moonash> "wait is this... galricks..."
[20:46] * Shock calls out from the door-Randal get in here!
[20:46] <Elaith> Thank you for holding the door open for me Avarie.
[20:46] * Messenger rides off on the bike
[20:46] <Randal_Moonash> "Coming!"
[20:46] * Randal_Moonash runs inside
[20:46] * Reven pulls and knocks a number of books off shelves, into a pile on the floor.
[20:46] <Shock> So what was that about?
[20:46] <Randal_Moonash> "What the... this laptop.. is it the same?"
[20:46] <Shock> !!
[20:46] <Shock> be...carefull..
[20:46] * Julian_Lordspear peruses the shelves, reading quickly the titles of the fantasy stories, and moving quickly on to the physics section.
[20:46] <Randal_Moonash> "Umm... I heard Galricks voice.. and a messenger gave me this laptop..."
[20:46] * Reven sits down by them, and considers how best to light a fire.
[20:46] <Manager> "Hey I saw that pick those up at once"
[20:46] <Randal_Moonash> "I dont think its the same one..."
[20:46] * Reven turns to the Manager.
[20:47] <Shock> mabye we should not accsess it..
[20:47] <Reven> Ah, our fine owner?
[20:47] <Randal_Moonash> "I know i know... but we should at least find out...."
[20:47] * Reven stands up.
[20:47] <Shock> But..
[20:47] * Randal_Moonash sits down and opens the laptop
[20:47] * Hsarc wanders to the group, wondering what the commotion is about.
[20:47] <Shock> NO
[20:47] <Reven> May I interest you in a novel?
[20:47] <Randal_Moonash> "Relax Shock... I'm not gonna do anything stupid... this time..."
[20:47] * Reven pulls a random book off a shelf and offers it to the Manager.
[20:47] * Elaith goes back to his seat, and pretends to read, really watching what is going on over his book and coffee *
[20:48] <Manager> "Look budy just clean up the books before I call the Police"
[20:48] <Hsarc> Why so much hassle over opening his laptop?
[20:48] * Julian_Lordspear grabs a book and heads over to the main desk
[20:48] <Shock> Please be carefull..
[20:48] <Reven> You think your dear enforcement will be out in this weather?
[20:48] * Avarie goes to the cafe counter and orders a hot chocolate, curling her fingers around it and savoring the warmth.
[20:48] <Reven> Hmm...
[20:48] <Randal_Moonash> "last laptop I opened messed up reality..."
[20:48] <Reven> Are you familiar with Immertot?
[20:48] <Reven> You should take a vacation there someday.
[20:49] <Hsarc> Heh. Reality....I would alter mine in a heartbeat, given the chance.
[20:49] * Reven turns and begins to pick up the books he knocked off.
[20:49] <Shock> OK look, sounds crazy but it sent us into a digital world, there i said it, now just laugh at me and move on.
[20:49] <Reven> Open it, then...
[20:49] <Shock> No
[20:49] <Shock> Be very carefull..
[20:49] <Hsarc> What was the name of that world?
[20:49] <>Ambiance<> Lightniing strikes the ligntning rod of one of the nearby buildings
[20:49] * Reven wanders over, his job of picking up the books done.
[20:49] * Julian_Lordspear taps his foot idly and looks at the titles behind the desk, trying to ignore the posturing of the people behind him.
[20:49] * Xforce has quit IRC (Drowned: �)
[20:49] * Randal_Moonash looks at the laptop, turning it on
[20:49] <Reven> Technology is... interesting...
[20:49] <Reven> Hehe...
[20:49] <Shock> Rendal, do what you wish..
[20:50] <Reven> Let us see what occurs, then...
[20:50] <Shock> But this thing is amazing
[20:50] * Avarie sips her drink and returns to the window, staring out at the sky.
[20:50] * Elaith wanders back towards the general commotion, curiousity abound*
[20:50] <Shock> It talks back to you.
[20:50] <Computer> Welcome to CaelOS 3.0
[20:50] <Randal_Moonash> 3.0... wait..
[20:50] * Reven shivers again, his face clearly becoming blue.
[20:50] <Shock> It upgraded?
[20:50] <Reven> Cael3.0...
[20:50] <Julian_Lordspear> "Bah.  I just had to get trapped in a building with a bunch of lunies."
[20:50] <Shock> did it not?
[20:50] <Randal_Moonash> It upgraded.. last one was 2.56...
[20:50] <Reven> My dear...
[20:50] <Shock> !!
[20:50] <Elaith> So how did you all get here anyways? I didn't see you when I started trying to climb the tree.
[20:50] <Reven> I am offended you class my lunacy in with theirs...
[20:51] <Reven> My mind is my own...
[20:51] <Randal_Moonash> "well... Put it this way. magic... not much more"
[20:51] <Julian_Lordspear> "Yes, I'm sure that you have your very own ward."
[20:51] <Voice> Please Select Your Login
[20:51] <Reven> And in this case... you are the lunatic...
[20:51] * Reven wanders over.
[20:51] <Reven> Reven.
[20:51] <Randal_Moonash> Hmm...
[20:51] <Randal_Moonash> "Well if this thing messed up reality.. maybe it can fix it..."
[20:51] <Shock> Moonash agian, no?
[20:51] <Shock> just...just log in..
[20:51] <Randal_Moonash> "Just not accessing those networks..
[20:51] <Reven> It doesn't seem messed up to me...
[20:51] <Shock> if we all die i dont care..
[20:51] <Randal_Moonash> "Login Randal Moonash
[20:52] <Reven> I like this...
[20:52] <Shock> no..
[20:52] <Voice> Please verify your identity by placing your finger upon the biometric pad
[20:52] <Hsarc> What is so wrong with this reality? It is snowing in New York. That is typical.
[20:52] <Julian_Lordspear> "If you're all so concerned over a computer program, shouldn't you just consult the user manual?"
[20:52] * Randal_Moonash does so
[20:52] <Randal_Moonash> "er.. not in october..."
[20:52] * Computer whirs
[20:52] <Shock> Snowing with lighting?
[20:52] <Shock> Not the whiring again..
[20:52] <Hsarc> Are we in the month of October?
[20:52] <Voice> Thumb Print Matched
[20:52] <Reven> This computer came with no manual...
[20:53] <Reven> So far as I saw...
[20:53] * Computer whirs
[20:53] <Hsarc> I have not known the date since I went to prison.
[20:53] * Avarie glances with increasing interest at the group behind her. A computer with voice recognition and a fingerprint scanner?
[20:53] <Reven> It didn't even come with a warrenty or disclaimer of liability.
[20:53] <Randal_Moonash> "Alright... no accessing Arin this time..."
[20:53] * Shock goes outside and grabs some snow, then runs back in
[20:53] <Reven> Computer, Access Arin.
[20:53] <Shock> all...all good so far..
[20:53] * Elaith walks over with slight shivers to Randal Moonash * I'm Elaith. Pleasure to meet you.
[20:53] <Voice> mtDNA and nuclear DNA matched
[20:53] <Shock> you cant
[20:53] <Shock> and we will die if we do
[20:53] <Julian_Lordspear> "Well then buy one!  Nearly every system out there has a manual.  Have you checked the 'dummies' series?"
[20:53] <Randal_Moonash> "fortunately for us... Reven, it only matches our voice..."
[20:53] <Shock> well, we will die faster
[20:53] <Reven> What a pity.
[20:53] <Shock> Your voice you mean.
[20:54] * Avarie uses the reflection in the glass to watch what's occuring while appearing to be staring out at the storm.
[20:54] <Randal_Moonash> "A pleasure. You can call me Moonash. Though my real name's randal"
[20:54] <Shock> Its plainly to smart
[20:54] <Randal_Moonash> "er... yeah just what i meant... our.. i mean My voice.."
[20:54] <Reven> Although I wonder how you knew my name...
[20:54] <Voice> Greetings this is the first time you have used CaelOS 3.0. Additional computer security features have been implemented since your last visit....
[20:54] * Elaith shakes Randal's hand *
[20:54] <Shock> nothing like this exsists back where i live..
[20:54] * Randal_Moonash shakes it back
[20:54] <Shock> Security?
[20:54] <Randal_Moonash> "a pleasure..."
[20:54] * Reven shivers, then waves his hand twice more, to no effect.
[20:55] <Reven> Blast this cold...
[20:55] <>Ambiance<> a small circular ring pops out from the side of the computer
[20:55] <Randal_Moonash> "er... what's this...?"
[20:55] <Shock> huh?
[20:55] * Takun|Foodstuffs is now known as Takun
[20:55] <Voice> please place the ring over your right eye
[20:55] <Elaith> My friend kindly watching through the glass is Avarie. I'm sure she's pleased to meet you also.
[20:55] * Randal_Moonash does so
[20:55] <Shock> oh..
[20:55] * Reven takes a book and attempts to use it to dry the icy cold water off himself.
[20:55] * Julian_Lordspear looks at the computer help section, hoping to disprove annoying stranger
[20:55] <Randal_Moonash> this is just rediculous...
[20:55] <Shock> i see.
[20:55] <Shock> Heh
[20:55] <Shock> be carefull..
[20:55] * SemiRPG sets mode: +ao Takun Takun
[20:55] <Reven> Find CaelOS and I will be greatly suprised...
[20:55] <Julian_Lordspear> "How do you spell that?"
[20:55] * Avarie turns red.
[20:55] <Shock> it may just shoot a fire ball at you or something..
[20:56] <>Ambiance<> a bright light emenates from the edge of the ring and shines breifly into Randal's eye
[20:56] <Reven> Sea-ay-ee-el-oh-es
[20:56] * Randal_Moonash blinks rapidly
[20:56] <Shock> Moonash are you ok?
[20:56] * Avarie approaches the group, obviously embaraced.
[20:56] <Reven> Or so they said it...
[20:56] <Randal_Moonash> "yeah.. I HATE optical readers..."
[20:56] <Shock> Light normaly means danger..
[20:56] <Voice> Retinal imaging complete.......
[20:56] <Randal_Moonash> "Not in this case..."
[20:56] <Shock> Optical readers? Whatever now is not the time.
[20:56] <Julian_Lordspear> "I don't suppose you know who made it?  A hardware manual is usually helpful, right?"
[20:56] <Voice> Would you like to utilize the optional ocular mouse
[20:56] <Reven> Assuming the connection is indeed related to Caelestia... which it sounds like.
[20:57] <Randal_Moonash> "umm sure?"
[20:57] <Shock> What is that?
[20:57] <Shock> no
[20:57] <Shock> wait
[20:57] <Reven> The company that made it?
[20:57] <Reven> Try 'Farpoint'.
[20:57] <Reven> Hehe.
[20:57] <Randal_Moonash> "Shock, an optical mouse would move the mouse with my eye.."
[20:57] <Voice> Leave the ring connected to your right eye
[20:57] <Shock> Do you even know what that..
[20:57] <Shock> oh
[20:57] * Randal_Moonash picks it up and places it over his eye
[20:57] <Voice> Welcome to CaelOS 3.0 Rev 6
[20:57] * Hsarc wanders away from the group with the computer, uninterested. He finds himself a book on crime solving and sits in the corner with it, amused at how detectives were trying to find him right now.
[20:57] <Julian_Lordspear> "Farpoint?  Don't be absurd.  No company would name themselves something like that."
[20:57] <Voice> Where would you like to go today?
[20:58] <Shock> Dont do anything risky
[20:58] <Reven> I know, it's a terrible name, isn't it?
[20:58] <Randal_Moonash> "What options do i have...?"
[20:58] <Reven> Only a bunch of utter morons would use it.
[20:58] <Randal_Moonash> "ill try not to..."
[20:58] * Elaith mutters to Avarie * They do seem quite absorbed in their work, don't they?
[20:58] <Voice> Where would you like to go today?
[20:58] * Reven snickers and ignores Julian, continuing to watch the people at the laptop.
[20:58] <Randal_Moonash> "Computer... what are my options..."
[20:58] * Avarie nods at Elaith.
[20:58] <Shock> I know where i would like to go...
[20:58] <Reven> Let's go to Hawaii.
[20:58] * Falerin sets mode: +v Johnno
[20:58] <Reven> You hate the cold, right?
[20:58] <Shock> Hawaii?
[20:58] <Randal_Moonash> 'hmm..."
[20:58] * Avarie whispers back, "I've never seen technology this advanced, have you?"
[20:59] <Randal_Moonash> "Computer, I would like to go to Immertot..."
[20:59] <Shock> Thats where i would want to go..
[20:59] <Julian_Lordspear> "Hawaii?  Only if you have a lot of money... and don't mind being killed over marjiuana..."
[20:59] <Voice> You have selected Immertot
[20:59] <Elaith> Never. Think we should follow with them?
[20:59] <Reven> Not really, Julian...
[20:59] <Randal_Moonash> "now... if this is what i think..."
[20:59] <Voice> Multiple Matches have been located for Immertot
[20:59] <Elaith> They seem quite the interesting bunch.
[20:59] <Shock> wait it can really take us there?
[20:59] <Randal_Moonash> "display matches..."
[20:59] <Voice> Do You Mean: Immertot.Caelestia.net?
[20:59] <Randal_Moonash> "No."
[20:59] <Reven> Ah, perhaps I will finally be able to visit this Immertot...
[20:59] <Shock> ?!
[20:59] <Reven> Caelestia.net?
[20:59] <Randal_Moonash> "Thats the IRC chat thing i told you about the other day Shock..."
[20:59] <Voice> Do You Mean Immertot Forest
[21:00] <Shock> Net would be a safe exstension..
[21:00] * Hsarc hears somebody utter the word 'Immertot' and stands up immediately. He walks over to the group and queries to the one using the computer. "You DO know of Immertot. How?"
[21:00] <Randal_Moonash> "Is that a possible choice?"
[21:00] <Voice> Do You Mean Immertot Forest
[21:00] <Shock> i know net..
[21:00] <Reven> IRC Chat...
[21:00] <Avarie> I'm not sure... What if they've stolen it from the developers?  They don't seem to know what they're doing...
[21:00] * Johnno shivers out in the cold. He sees movement in the bookshop window, and moves over to knock on the door
[21:00] <Randal_Moonash> "Alright... Just to warn you all, I'm about to do something SERIOUSLY stupid to test the limits of this machine..."
[21:00] <Shock> How can this take us there..
[21:00] <Reven> I've seen it... another technology gone wild.
[21:00] <Voice> I see you are having problems making a selection
[21:00] <Shock> Allright..
[21:00] <Randal_Moonash> "computer, cancel request."
[21:00] <Voice> Lets try this a different way
[21:00] <Randal_Moonash> "wait.. what?"
[21:01] <Shock> ?
[21:01] <Shock> huh?
[21:01] <Reven> But this time, it's power mad people and crazies that are wild... the technology just makes it all possible...
[21:01] * Elaith moves over and lets Johnno in, then moves back to Avarie* Yeah, they are definitely of conflicting opinions too it seems.
[21:01] <Julian_Lordspear> "Heh.  There's a seriously saucy AI program."
[21:01] <Randal_Moonash> "This is rediculous.. this caelos can take us through places..?"
[21:01] <Reven> And Falerin is one of them?
[21:01] <Reven> Heh, I shouldn't be suprised.
[21:01] <Johnno> thanks mate
[21:01] <>Ambiance<> The computer screen displays a hologramatic picture of The Last Rest Inn at the Edge of Immertot Forest
[21:01] <Voice> Do You Mean: Immertot.Caelestia.net?
[21:01] <Shock> what?
[21:01] <Randal_Moonash> "no... I do not..."
[21:01] <Reven> Assuming it is he... that connects this world with Caelestia...
[21:01] * Johnno lowers his hood and shakes his head to clear it
[21:01] <>Ambiance<> The forest comes to the fore of the monitor
[21:02] <Voice> Do You Mean Immertot Forest
[21:02] * Johnno looks up sharply
[21:02] * Hsarc is staring with a blank expression at the computer. He slowly walks closer and closer. "The Inn."
[21:02] <Johnno> did someone just say "Immertot"?
[21:02] <Reven> Oooh, lets go to Immertot.
[21:02] <Randal_Moonash> "no... I do not. take us to the prior picture..> The last rest inn..."
[21:02] <Shock> Just pick one...
[21:02] <Reven> Bring the manager.
[21:02] <Randal_Moonash> "I figure if I'm going to do something stupid..."
[21:02] * X|WoW has quit IRC (Vanished: �)
[21:02] <Reven> The place of undeath, isn't it?
[21:02] <Reven> How fun.
[21:02] <Shock> I would wish to go to the-my inn though..
[21:02] <Hsarc> Stop.
[21:02] <Reven> Perfect holiday destination.
[21:02] <Voice> The Computer zooms out slightly showing Last Rest Inn
[21:02] <Voice> Do You Mean Immertot Forest
[21:02] <Hsarc> Why would you want to take us back to Immertot?
[21:03] <Shock> Just say yes allready
[21:03] <Reven> Yes.
[21:03] <Reven> Say it.
[21:03] <Hsarc> We were set free. Why should we return?
[21:03] <Julian_Lordspear> "You're all quite mad.  And where has the manager gone, anyway?"
[21:03] * Avarie face looks more and more confused and worried as the conversation continues.
[21:03] <Randal_Moonash> "thank you.. Please cancel transfer request, and analyze reality"
[21:03] <Reven> You KNOW you want to.
[21:03] * Johnno moves over to the group with the laptop
[21:03] * Reven waves his hand to Randal.
[21:03] <Reven> Curses, if only I could.
[21:03] <Shock> huh?
[21:03] <Randal_Moonash> "Im not prone to jedi mind tricks..."
[21:03] <Shock> what now?
[21:03] <Morgan> "Analyze reality? Request not comprehended"
[21:03] <Morgan> "
[21:03] <Randal_Moonash> "Morgan?!"
[21:03] <Reven> Jedi... rings a bell, but I don't recall the term.
[21:03] <Computer> "Analyze reality? Request not comprehended"
[21:03] <Elaith> Randal, what do you and your group do?
[21:04] <Falerin> ((Only RANDAL heard morgan))
[21:04] <Randal_Moonash> "you know... Elaith.. buggered if I know..."
[21:04] <Randal_Moonash> "Morgan.. where are you...?"
[21:04] * Elaith is getting butterflies in the pit of his stomach*
[21:04] <Computer> "Please Restate your Request"
[21:04] <Johnno> Morgan... Immertot... next you'll be telling me you guys know Falerin too
[21:04] <Julian_Lordspear> "Syntax error.  You've got to stay within a computer's structual command limits".
[21:04] <Hsarc> Morgan? Has he been transfered here too?
[21:04] <Reven> I know OF him...
[21:04] <Randal_Moonash> "er... we do..."
[21:04] <Johnno> ... strewth
[21:04] * Hsarc grabs the stranger who just entered. "What do you know of Falerin?"
[21:05] * Reven snickers at Julians statement.
[21:05] <Johnno> what a coincidence
[21:05] <Randal_Moonash> "what... I swear... first I hear Galrick.. next morgan..."
[21:05] * Elaith whispers to Avarie again* We've definitely gotta go with. Something strange is up with this bunch.
[21:05] * Johnno shakes Hsarc off him.
[21:05] <Shock> Your going mad...
[21:05] <Julian_Lordspear> "Oh, shut up, you weirdo."
[21:05] <Johnno> I met him in Immertot
[21:05] * Falerin steps out from between an aisle of books
[21:05] <Shock> Falerin?
[21:05] * Reven freezes.
[21:05] <Falerin> "The australian"
[21:05] * Reven turns and looks slowly.
[21:05] <Falerin> "What are you doing in New york"
[21:05] <Julian_Lordspear> "And the manager seems to have vanished totally."
[21:05] <Johnno> Travelling
[21:05] <Randal_Moonash> "the austrailian? Falerin... er... why is this computer able to take us to Immertot?"
[21:05] * Hsarc stops when he hears that voice. He turns towards it. "Falerin? How did you escape Immertot?"
[21:06] <Johnno> and it's nice to see you too, Fal
[21:06] <Reven> So...
[21:06] <Falerin> "You have that computer again......"
[21:06] <Reven> The god is here...
[21:06] * Avarie stares at the new arrival.
[21:06] <Reven> And talking with mere mortals...
[21:06] <Randal_Moonash> "Its a different one..."
[21:06] <Reven> Hey.
[21:06] <Hsarc> Nay, Reven. I think this is the avatar.
[21:06] <Shock> I was telling him not too use it..
[21:06] * Elaith turns towards the person everyone seems to be so reverential towards*
[21:06] <Reven> Naturally, he would do it through an avatar...
[21:06] * Avarie mutters, "wierder and wierder."
[21:06] <Reven> Going to kill anyone today?
[21:06] <Shock> But it offerd to take us to the inn..
[21:06] <Elaith> Hello Falerin. My name is Elaith. Pleasure to meet you. *pro-offers a hand*
[21:06] * Falerin looks at Johnno "I woul dbe more civil except I was just recently yanked BACK into immertot TWICE. And both another one of those Creatures and the Necromancer have returned
[21:06] <Randal_Moonash> "Shock.. its only reason that prevented me from TRYING that travelling function... something this... God here said.."
[21:07] <Falerin> "It really puts a damper on my mood"
[21:07] <Johnno> well, shit
[21:07] <Randal_Moonash> "Wait...."
[21:07] <Randal_Moonash> "Oh... no wonder you hate this computer..."
[21:07] * Falerin looks at Moonash
[21:07] <Reven> Ah, so we get death...
[21:07] <Reven> I expected it.
[21:07] * Julian_Lordspear glances about nervously at the people who are now discussing fantasy, arguing with computers, worshipping people they accuse of murder, and just generally being overly mystic. Now, he reasons, would be a good time to go.
[21:07] <Randal_Moonash> "computer... Display ten feet ahead on Terra... this location..."
[21:07] <Reven> Well, I must say, I never expected to be in the presence of a god of such fear.
[21:08] * Randal_Moonash wonders if he's right...
[21:08] <>Ambiance<> the computer diplays a bookshelf
[21:08] <Reven> You inspire fear in all... must be so lonely... hehe.
[21:08] * Randal_Moonash looks over at Falerin
[21:08] <Falerin> "I am not a god"
[21:08] * Avarie shakes her head, trying to make sense of the large group talking nonsense. "Undead? Necromancer? Is this one of those LARP games that just happened to come into the store because of the weather?"
[21:08] <Reven> You aren't?
[21:08] <Shock> Terra is a boock shelf here as well?
[21:08] * Elaith withdraws the pro-offered hand, clearly being ignored by the man *
[21:08] <Falerin> "Not really"
[21:08] * Johnno glances over at Avarie
[21:08] <Reven> How modest.
[21:08] <Randal_Moonash> "no... I just was seeing something..."
[21:08] <Reven> Unexpected from you...
[21:08] <Johnno> sadly, no
[21:08] <Shock> Wich Falerin are you?
[21:09] <Reven> Avarie... you have been playing a LARP all your life...
[21:09] <Randal_Moonash> "Computer... display Glenn Galrick."
[21:09] <Hsarc> If my memory serves, he is the avatar of the god.
[21:09] <Reven> And now you are in reality.
[21:09] <Reven> Meaning?
[21:09] <Falerin> "And I have no great love for the God either"
[21:09] <Shock> Ah
[21:09] <Shock> Your that Falerin
[21:09] <Reven> So you are not Falerin.
[21:09] <Reven> Merely his pawn.
[21:09] <Reven> Heh.
[21:09] <Computer> "That name is unknown"
[21:09] * Avarie looks terribly confused. &quot;What are you talking about?"
[21:09] <Shock> Oh no, he is Falerin
[21:09] * Johnno shrugs his pack off his back, and opens it
[21:09] <Randal_Moonash> "its unknown... search users..."
[21:09] <Shock> Dosent know glenn eh?
[21:10] * Elaith is getting very frustrated * What is going on?!?!?
[21:10] <Reven> Fun.
[21:10] <Computer> "I have searched 3.5 Exobytes of data.... User not Located"
[21:10] <Reven> Tell the computer to do something REALLY hard.
[21:10] <Reven> Like, start a fire.
[21:10] <Johnno> a lot of things, mate. not all of which are good
[21:10] * Reven shivers again.
[21:11] <Reven> Well, supposedly there is a beast...
[21:11] <Reven> That sounds interesting.
[21:11] <Randal_Moonash> "Eliath.. I'm going to put it very simply... very seriously. Magic and planar travel has been messing up reality. Thats how I got sweeped up in this. Theres somthing killing these others, a beast, and strange dreams happen..."
[21:11] <Johnno> the beast of Immertot...
[21:11] <Shock> Or calculate Pi. or do you allready have it calculated out Randal?
[21:11] * Reven turns, thinking of the realm.
[21:11] <Randal_Moonash> "Shock... now is NOT the time..."
[21:11] <Reven> Think we can get a camera for a photo?
[21:11] <Shock> OK..
[21:11] <Randal_Moonash> "If Glenn didnt use his name..."
[21:11] <Julian_Lordspear> "You ARE insane.  I'm calling the police."
[21:11] <Shock> Then..
[21:11] <Randal_Moonash> "Computer... search TruthSeeker...
[21:11] * Avarie laughs, but it sounds forced. "Magic and planar travel? You've got to be kidding."
[21:11] <Reven> So a beast that KILLS us...
[21:11] <Reven> Hehe.
[21:11] <Randal_Moonash> "Thats what I said, Julian... until I saw a few things..."
[21:11] <Reven> Nope, Avarie.
[21:12] <Randal_Moonash> "Heh... that's almost word for word what I said..."
[21:12] * Elaith is glad to finally just get some sort of explanation*
[21:12] <Reven> I'd show you some, but it isn't working right now.
[21:12] * Julian_Lordspear walks behind the desk, and pulls up the phone.
[21:12] <Johnno> no. Would that they were
[21:12] <>Ambiance<> The Computer Displays http://www.myspace.com/novaisalie please reference this site now
[21:12] <Reven> Seems there's enough chaos here without my help.
[21:12] <Randal_Moonash> "What?"
[21:12] <Randal_Moonash> "Okay..."
[21:12] * Hsarc turns to Julian, his eyes glowing. "If you call them, you will not make it out of here. I will NOT go back to prison." He walks over to the desk threateningly.
[21:13] <>Ambiance<> Music begins playing from the speakers of the Computer
[21:13] <Randal_Moonash> "Ack!"
[21:13] * Reven wanders over to Julian, and idling cuts the phone cord.
[21:13] <Reven> Sending me to a mad house... has been tried before.
[21:13] <Reven> But in a verse where I cannot use my tricks... it would be most... annoying.
[21:13] <Randal_Moonash> "Computer... display user..."
[21:13] * Julian_Lordspear glares at Reven. "Perhaps the mad house is too sane for all of you."
[21:13] <Randal_Moonash> "Display the person who posted this.. probably from caelos 2.56.."
[21:13] <Reven> Probably.
[21:14] * Reven pulls out a dagger, and plants it into the phone.
[21:14] * Johnno goes through his bag, his hands brushing over the axe, but seeking his thermoflask
[21:14] <Reven> I'm probably too dangerous to go in with all the others.
[21:14] <>Ambiance<> That User is Protected by the Traveller

[21:14] <>Ambiance<> Access Denied!
[21:14] <Randal_Moonash> "And that would be you... or an aspect of the god you are an avatar of."
[21:14] <Julian_Lordspear> "Oh, lovely.  ARMED insanity.  I suppose someone is also hiding a claymore in their pockets?"
[21:14] <Randal_Moonash> "What is the name of that User?"
[21:15] <>Ambiance<> That User is Protected by the Traveller
[21:15] <>Ambiance<> Access Denied!
[21:15] * Johnno looks over at Julian. "No, but I have an axe in my bag"
[21:15] * Falerin steps over to the computer and places his finger on the screen
[21:15] * Elaith whispers to Avarie * Crazy though this is, I think I might be starting to understand what these loons are talking about *
[21:15] <Julian_Lordspear> "Well, if we've all gone mad, then I'm not going to feel bad about reading one of these without paying for it."
[21:15] * Reven grins at Julian.
[21:15] <Randal_Moonash> "Well at least Im not trying to acess anythign insane this time.. I hope..."
[21:15] <Computer> Access Granted
[21:15] <Reven> That's the spirit.
[21:16] <Randal_Moonash> "thanks... you have GOT to teach me that trick sometime.."
[21:16] * Reven pushes over a bookcase.
[21:16] <Computer> User Identity is "Galrick of Glenn" Ambit LORE
[21:16] * Julian_Lordspear sits down and begins flipping the pages, a look of bemusement on his face.
[21:17] <Randal_Moonash> "Computer, display user..."
[21:17] <>Ambiance<> That User is Protected by the Traveller
[21:17] <Computer> Access Granted
[21:17] <>Ambiance<> Access Denied!
[21:17] * Avarie bites her lower lip, but remains silent.
[21:17] <Randal_Moonash> "what...?!"
[21:17] <Johnno> can't make up it's mind, can it?
[21:17] <Julian_Lordspear> "Looks like the computer is also mad.  Try kicking it."
[21:18] <>Ambiance<> Access Grenyied
[21:18] <Shock> Kicking it?
[21:18] <Reven> Works for me.
[21:18] <Reven> Does anyone have any matches?
[21:18] <Shock> what is grenyied?
[21:18] <Johnno> nah, you'll just bust it doin' that
[21:18] <Randal_Moonash> "Er.. granted and denied..
[21:18] <Johnno> nah mate, but i do have this
[21:18] <Randal_Moonash> "well this may not  be the right path..."
[21:18] <Falerin> "It is resisting my modification to its programming"
[21:18] * Johnno tosses Reven a cigarette lighter
[21:18] <Randal_Moonash> "yeah... thats what it seems..."
[21:18] <Reven> Ah, excellent.
[21:18] * Falerin touches the screen again
[21:18] <>Ambiance<> Access Denied!
[21:19] * Reven wanders over, and sets fire to the fallen books.
[21:19] <Reven> Success!
[21:19] * Reven warms himself by the fire.
[21:19] <Johnno> i want that back, though. it's the only one i have
[21:19] <Reven> Sure.
[21:19] * Reven smiles.
[21:19] * Julian_Lordspear looks at Reven, opens his mouth as if to speak, thinks better of it, and turns back to the book.
[21:19] <Randal_Moonash> "hmm that gives me something else... "
[21:19] <Reven> Hehe.
[21:19] <Randal_Moonash> "computer... display fire on terra, add water"
[21:19] <Johnno> like, now. I need a smoke
[21:19] <Computer> Warning. I have detected a total genetic match but a .30578 Reality Shift. You are an analog from incorrect ambit. I am afraid that access to this data is restricted to its ambit or to the source due to the Sigma Directive.
[21:20] <Randal_Moonash> "Wait.. sigma directive.."
[21:20] <Shock> huh?
[21:20] <Shock> !!
[21:20] <Randal_Moonash> "Isnt that some type of call to arms?"
[21:20] <Shock> dont
[21:20] * Johnno pulls a packet of cigarettes out of his coat pocket
[21:20] <Reven> Putting it out are we?
[21:20] <>Ambiance<> the fire supression system kicks in
[21:20] <Shock> ...
[21:20] <Randal_Moonash> "seeing if its possible..."
[21:20] * Reven tosses more books on, but too late.
[21:20] <Randal_Moonash> "Holy..."
[21:20] <Shock> great job..
[21:20] * Reven leaps onto the fire.
[21:21] <Randal_Moonash> "computer... you can turn it off......"
[21:21] <Shock> no..
[21:21] <Shock> mabye..
[21:21] * Hsarc turns at the smell of something burning and sees a man on top of a fire.
[21:21] * Reven rolls over, the flames on his robe going out quickly.
[21:21] <Hsarc> Are you mad?
[21:21] * Reven stands up.
[21:21] <Julian_Lordspear> "There you go- fire, water, and that stupid wind outside.  Now all you need is an earthquake"
[21:21] * Hsarc pushes him off the fire and stomps it out.
[21:21] * Julian_Lordspear snickers
[21:21] <Johnno> mate, gimme back my lighter
[21:21] <Randal_Moonash> "Dont even think of suggesting it..>"
[21:21] <Hsarc> You will burn this place to the ground like that.
[21:21] <Computer> Shutting off this device can be accomplished via direct or indirect methods
[21:21] <Reven> What lighter?
[21:21] * Elaith has widening eyes *
[21:21] * Avarie mutters under her breath, "Don't tempt fate."
[21:21] <Randal_Moonash> "er.. what?"
[21:22] <Julian_Lordspear> "Try kicking it."
[21:22] <Johnno> do NOT make me pull out my axe
[21:22] <Computer> I can attept to break into the computer system or I can directly affected the device
[21:22] <Randal_Moonash> "this thing definately does magic.."
[21:22] <Computer> Please select the prefered method
[21:22] <Shock> a magic device?
[21:22] <Randal_Moonash> "er... just... umm... finish putting out the fire, and directly affect it..."
[21:22] * Reven pulls out the lighter, puts it in his mouth, then spits it at Johnno.
[21:22] <Randal_Moonash> "Something tells me hacking would be a bad idea..
[21:22] * Johnno catches it, wipes it off, then uses it to light a cigarette
[21:23] <Computer> Warning. This is a Vulgar Effect. Proceed?
[21:23] <Randal_Moonash> "NO! Do it the other way..."
[21:23] * Reven turns to the fire, looking on sadly as it goes out completely, but then smiles as he is no longer either cold or wet, although his robe is slightly charred.
[21:23] <Shock> Vulgar?
[21:23] <Shock> in what way?
[21:23] <Elaith> If I may be of assistance, you can simply reboot the computer in safe mode and check all the ports and modify programming from there.
[21:23] <>Ambiance<> Access to FireX New York Central Office accomplished
[21:24] <Randal_Moonash> "I think that means it would affect reality..."
[21:24] <Shock> what would direct mean
[21:24] <Randal_Moonash> "ghost identity computer.."
[21:24] * Reven snickers at hearing Elaith's statement.
[21:24] <>Ambiance<> Fire and police sirens can be heard in the distance
[21:24] <Randal_Moonash> "er... as in it affects it immediately.."
[21:24] <Randal_Moonash> "oops..."
[21:24] <Reven> Whee.
[21:24] <>Ambiance<> the fire supression system cuts out
[21:25] <Reven> Now we get the local guards on our backs.
[21:25] <Julian_Lordspear> "Which one of you said that law enforcement wouldn't be coming?"
[21:25] <Johnno> cops... fire engines... how are they managing in this weather?
[21:25] <Shock> !!
[21:25] <Hsarc> Police....I need a place to hide.
[21:25] <Randal_Moonash> "They probably cant..."
[21:25] <Randal_Moonash> "But this is nuts.."
[21:25] <Hsarc> Find me a place to hide!
[21:25] <Shock> Hsarc, your from another realm are you not?
[21:25] <Reven> Get to the back of the store.
[21:25] <Shock> just relax
[21:25] <Randal_Moonash> "computer.. what happened to gosting.."
[21:25] <Shock> they dont know you
[21:25] <Reven> I saw a vent there, I think...
[21:25] <Computer> We have not been detected.
[21:25] <Randal_Moonash> "then why are there sirens..."
[21:25] <Hsarc> I am an escaped convict. I was sucked into Immertot. If this is in fact the US on Earth, I am wanted across the nation.
[21:25] <Computer> However it was too late to stop automated alarm calls.
[21:26] <Shock> We lit it on fire...
[21:26] * Reven walks over and tries to pry a small vent open with his dagger, with no success.
[21:26] <Shock> They burned books..
[21:26] * Johnno pulls his axe out of his bag, and leans on it. It is a simple wood axe, like those used to split firewood
[21:26] <Computer> FireX sends a dispatch request the second a fire is detected
[21:26] * Sasori_Yaiba has joined #werewolf
[21:26] <Shock> greeeeeat job guys
[21:26] <Julian_Lordspear> "Right.  Bonfire in a bookstore.  Good idea, goodsir."
[21:26] <Reven> It was, yes.
[21:26] * Reven bows.
[21:26] <Computer> Do you wish me to compensate?
[21:26] * Mysterious_Player has joined #werewolf
[21:26] <Randal_Moonash> "How would you compensate?"
[21:26] <Computer> Do you wish me to compensate?
[21:26] <Randal_Moonash> "describe compensation.."
[21:26] <Reven> Tell it to make them gone.
[21:26] * Julian_Lordspear waves vaguely at Reven.
[21:27] <Falerin> "Undo the call"
[21:27] * Hsarc points to Reven. "IT WAS HIM!" He runs to the counter and dives over it, worrying intensely.
[21:27] <Elaith> I vote no as I like being warm.
[21:27] <Randal_Moonash> "yes...?"
[21:27] <Shock> Oh..
[21:27] <Shock> yes
[21:27] <Computer> "I can undo the call.... do you wish me to compensate"
[21:27] <Randal_Moonash> "yes."
[21:27] <Reven> Set the fire trucks on fire.
[21:27] <Reven> Remove their water.
[21:27] <Computer> Warning. This is a Vulgar Effect. Proceed?
[21:27] <Shock> ?!
[21:27] <Shock> no just let them come
[21:27] <Randal_Moonash> "... I hate to do it... but yes."
[21:27] <Shock> no!
[21:27] <Reven> Sounds interesting.
[21:28] <Randal_Moonash> "shock... Falerin said we have more work to do here."
[21:28] <Reven> They aren't Falerin.
[21:28] <Computer> Launching Chronomatic2.0

[21:28] <Reven> And most of you would be fine.
[21:28] <Computer> Recalibrating Local Time Line.....
[21:28] <Randal_Moonash> "ohshit..."
[21:28] <Johnno> so... you, too, are trying to destroy Immertot's beast?
[21:28] * Avarie winces in expectation.
[21:28] <Reven> We'd just have to turn Hsarc in.
[21:28] <Shock> time?
[21:28] <Julian_Lordspear> "Right, like it can really mess with the timestream."
[21:28] <Shock> what the..
[21:28] <Reven> And tell them he lit the fire.
[21:28] <Shock> no we would not
[21:28] <Shock> they dont know him
[21:28] * Hsarc is shaking behind the counter, wondering if the police are coming.
[21:28] * Elaith is still curious more than anything else *
[21:29] <Reven> Yes they do...
[21:29] <Reven> Apparently.
[21:29] <Johnno> oh no...
[21:29] <Shock> what realm are you from?
[21:29] * Mysterious_Player has left #werewolf
[21:29] <Reven> As a former convict, they'd accept it without question.
[21:29] <Randal_Moonash> "um... is it over?"
[21:29] <Computer> Rebuilding Wave Function Please Standby
[21:29] <Randal_Moonash> "eep!"
[21:29] <Reven> Nope.
[21:29] <Reven> The computer is slow.
[21:29] <Shock> that sounds bad
[21:29] <Julian_Lordspear> "I don't beleive that!"
[21:29] <Johnno> last time we messed with time, Falerin the god kicked us all out of Immertot...
[21:29] <Computer> The Wave Function has been Rebuilt.... Selecting Alternate Wave State
[21:30] <Johnno> not that i mind that, but i'd rather not get kicked out of home
[21:30] * Hsarc peers over the counter, turning to the one known as Randal. "You.....You must get me out of here. Back to Immertot."
[21:30] <Shock> No your fine
[21:30] <Computer> Standby for wave function collapse and decoherence
[21:30] <Randal_Moonash> "Er... I don't even know, but Falerin... uhoh..
[21:30] <Randal_Moonash> "I think i just made a mistake"
[21:30] <Reven> Decoherence?
[21:30] <Reven> Sounds good to me.
[21:30] <Reven> You know, if I had a godly powerful laptop...
[21:30] <Shock> !!
[21:30] * Johnno mentally prepares himself for the worst
[21:30] <Shock> this is bad
[21:30] <Julian_Lordspear> "No, that would be bad- hypothetically speaking, of course."
[21:30] <Reven> And caused chaos while causing things with it...
[21:30] <Shock> Falerin just shut it down
[21:30] <>Ambiance<> The fire and all signs of it vanishes entirely.... The lighter disappears and reappears in the pocket of its original source
[21:31] <Randal_Moonash> "whoa..."
[21:31] <Shock> ?!
[21:31] <Reven> My dear Falerin, can YOU give me access?
[21:31] <>Ambiance<> In this reality the lighter was never offered
[21:31] * Reven blinks.
[21:31] <>Ambiance<> However the entire group remembers the old reality
[21:31] <Randal_Moonash> "I hope that I didnt cause cows to rain in kentucky..."
[21:31] <Shock> woah...
[21:31] <Reven> That would be nice, Randal.
[21:31] <Reven> So, we are before I got the lighter?
[21:31] <Shock> quantem path selection..
[21:31] * Elaith looks around in bewilderment*
[21:31] <Reven> Anyone got a light?
[21:31] <Shock> no..
[21:31] <Julian_Lordspear> "WHAT!?  Are you trying to tell me that I just saw a timeline substitution?"
[21:31] <Shock> the time is now
[21:31] <Randal_Moonash> "I think you did..."
[21:31] <Shock> we are on another path..
[21:31] * Johnno looks over at Julian
[21:31] <Shock> thats amazing..
[21:31] <Johnno> that would be correct
[21:32] <Avarie> What IS that machine?
[21:32] <Reven> Johnno, I �know� you have it...
[21:32] <Computer> Decoherence Complete... Paradox Gained 10 Points
[21:32] <Reven> Blah.
[21:32] <Randal_Moonash> "I have NO idea..."
[21:32] <Johnno> it's a lot to take in, isn't it?
[21:32] <Shock> 10 points?
[21:32] <Reven> Did Paradox go up a level?
[21:32] <Randal_Moonash> "ten points... on what scale.."
[21:32] <Reven> Do I get any points?
[21:32] <Falerin> "Hall Shall I distribute this Paradox"
[21:32] <Shock> ?
[21:32] <Reven> Give it to me.
[21:32] <Randal_Moonash> "How? or Hall...?"
[21:32] <Falerin> "Hell"
[21:32] <Julian_Lordspear> "Err... what is Paradox?"
[21:32] <Falerin> "hell shall I distribute this paradox?"
[21:33] <Reven> Ask your master.
[21:33] <Reven> He's the master of hell.
[21:33] <Randal_Moonash> "Time paradox, that means a bunch of time has to be dumped somewhere. right?"
[21:33] <Shock> kinda true..
[21:33] <Computer> Select Paradox Distribution Method or it will be assigned entirely to the Caster. Window is small.. Failure to assign paradox may attract the attention of Paradox Spirits
[21:33] <Shock> !!
[21:33] <Shock> uh..
[21:33] <Randal_Moonash> "List meathods!"
[21:33] <Shock> we all get equal amounts?
[21:33] <Reven> Dump it here.
[21:33] <Falerin> "Reven wants it give it to Reven"
[21:33] <Randal_Moonash> "no.. I would take it.."
[21:34] <Computer> Select Paradox Distribution Method or it will be assigned entirely to the Caster. Window is small.. Failure to assign paradox may attract the attention of Paradox Spirits
[21:34] <Reven> Paradox sounds... interesting.
[21:34] <Randal_Moonash> "Id rather not be resposible fo rhis disaapearance..
[21:34] <Randal_Moonash> "but ok.. dump it on Reven..."
[21:34] <Johnno> if it's talking about re-locating the fire, put it on my family home. I could use the insurance money
[21:34] <Elaith> Assign paradox to me.
[21:34] <Shock> Why not just..
[21:34] <>Ambiance<> Paradox Assigned
[21:34] <Reven> It makes people disappear?
[21:34] * Elaith doesn't really know what I am doing in asking this*
[21:34] <Randal_Moonash> "er..."
[21:34] <Shock> what the...
[21:34] <Shock> what...happens now?
[21:34] <Randal_Moonash> "I have no idea.."
[21:35] <Randal_Moonash> "apparently I can answer your questions?"
[21:35] <Shock> You still there reven?
[21:35] * Hsarc peers over the counter, no police in sight. He decides it is safe and slowly emerges.
[21:35] <Julian_Lordspear> "Reven looks to still exist."
[21:35] <Shock> What moonash?
[21:35] <Shock> answer what now?
[21:35] * Elaith is even more curious *
[21:35] <Randal_Moonash> "Should have just dumped the paradox on some pile of water... the sea always stays the same.."
[21:35] <Johnno> no it doesn't
[21:35] <Elaith> What was the big worry about paradox? Nothing has seemed to have happened.
[21:35] <Shock> Who got the points?
[21:36] <>Ambiance<> Reven looks glassy eyed and distant
[21:36] <Randal_Moonash> "I have no idea... I dont even understand magic..."
[21:36] <Shock> ?!
[21:36] <Randal_Moonash> "er... what did I just do...?"
[21:36] <Julian_Lordspear> "So, that was the big scary of the 'Vulgar Effect'?"
[21:36] <Shock> Revan?
[21:36] <Shock> are you ok?
[21:36] * Johnno looks over at Reven
[21:37] <Johnno> he doesn't look so good...
[21:37] <Shock> i think he is dead basicly
[21:37] <Randal_Moonash> "No.. he doesnt..."
[21:37] <Elaith> So that's the worry...
[21:37] <Randal_Moonash> "I said I shouldn't have done it..."
[21:37] <Shock> why dident we split them?
[21:37] <Johnno> possible...
[21:37] <Shock> then we would all just be slightly affected
[21:37] * Elaith takes off a plaid overcoat and covers Reven with it to keep him warm *
[21:37] <Randal_Moonash> "because the computer assigned it all to him..."
[21:37] <Johnno> likely, if we'd split the points, we'd all be dead. we don't know how many it takes to kill
[21:38] <Julian_Lordspear> "Affected by WHAT?  You can't analyze symptoms if you don't know the cause!  What just happened?:
[21:38] <Randal_Moonash> "I think he just got hit with paradox.."
[21:38] <Shock> True..
[21:38] * Johnno looks over at Julian
[21:38] <Shock> mabye he is just confused..
[21:38] <Randal_Moonash> "Its possible he doesnt even know he exists."
[21:38] <Johnno> You... you struggle to understand all this, don't you?
[21:38] <Shock> its not confuseing though..
[21:38] <Julian_Lordspear> "Are you saying you understand it?  Enlighten me!  Make this all less insane!"
[21:38] * Shock slaps Revan around a bit
[21:38] <Shock> Wake up!
[21:38] * Johnno chuckles
[21:39] <Johnno> i'm sad to say that what you see is what you get
[21:39] <Computer> Warning User has Entered Quiet State
[21:39] <Randal_Moonash> "shock.. if you were told it were thursday, and everyone knew it was thursday, but internally you were POSITIVE it was wedsday.. would oyu be comfused.."
[21:39] * Reven is still standing.
[21:39] <Shock> *sigh*
[21:39] <Randal_Moonash> "Please elucidate.."
[21:39] * Hsarc is still puzzled as to what the group is doing, and sits behind them, watching.
[21:39] <Shock> where are we...
[21:40] * Shock picks up the remenets of his snow
[21:40] <Johnno> things may seem insane... but, if you approach it with an open mind, it's understandable
[21:40] <Randal_Moonash> We are on terra... and I think someones been messing around with reality without paradox...
[21:40] <Randal_Moonash> I think thats why its snowing.. and thats why there's lightning...
[21:40] <Julian_Lordspear> "No, no, and no.  Nothing is understandable, ever under any circumstance."
[21:40] <Johnno> don't limit yourself to the boundaries of well-known science, to physics, medicine, or anything else
[21:41] <Julian_Lordspear> "Fine, then tell me what boundries to use.  Do you know what happens if you don't perceive any?"
[21:41] * Hsarc cannot help but get involved in the conversation. "Ter..Terra? Is that some weird nick name for Earth?"
[21:41] <Randal_Moonash> "Pretty much Hsarc..."
[21:41] <Randal_Moonash> "and Im FROM earth.."
[21:41] <Randal_Moonash> "so imagine how comfused I must be..."
[21:41] <Johnno> allow yourself to believe that which is often described in fantasy and science fiction. because, believe it or not, such things do exist
[21:42] <Computer> Paradox, the backlash that reality inflicts on those who alter reality in radical ways. In principle, the greater the deviation and the larger the number of witnesses, the faster and more powerful the backlash. Paradox takes different forms, however, and one of these is a condition known as Quiet. When a mage enters Quiet, they suffer madness of the avatar (i.e. the part of them responsible for altering reality). The nature of a mage's Quiet is unique to that p
[21:42] <Hsarc> I am begginning to understand. This is not the planet I thought it was, but an alternate version, is it not?
[21:42] <Randal_Moonash> "Computer... measure paradox on Terra..."
[21:42] <Randal_Moonash> "not quite Hsarc... I think someones been messing with paradox..."
[21:42] <Randal_Moonash> "and I'm about to see if I can find out..."
[21:42] <Shock> Ask it more about it
[21:43] <Shock> Paradox that is
[21:43] * Hsarc sighs. "It would have been so much easier to just die in Immertot. At least then, I would have been happy, with a purpose in my life...."
[21:43] <Computer> Paradox is not measured in local ambits but in individuals. Would you like to see the sum total paradox of all magi in terra, or The Paradox Backlash also known as the Gauntlet Rating for Terra?
[21:43] <Johnno> to die in Immertot is a terrible thing
[21:43] <Avarie> Perhaps it would be better to leave the computer alone. I mean if it can do that...
[21:43] <Julian_Lordspear> "Please, that's not possible.  You'd either have to have a lot of power, or know just where to work to alter the fundimental underlying reality."
[21:43] <Randal_Moonash> "What is the Gauntlet rating?"
[21:43] * Avarie gestures vaguely at Reven
[21:43] <Shock> Ask for it all
[21:44] <Shock> as in both numbers
[21:44] <Randal_Moonash> "Im fairly sure that its not the same.. the one right now is a generic one... I think thats what this is, so im asking..
[21:44] <Johnno> is it so unbelievable that some people may meet those requirements?
[21:44] <Computer> Gaunlet Ratings measure the wall of static reality that prevents dynamic reality and access to the Umbral Realm
[21:44] <Shock> huh?
[21:44] <Computer> They are on a scale of 1 through 10
[21:44] * Johnno glances back at Hsarc
[21:44] <Randal_Moonash> "bingo... wait... umbral relm... that would be a type of magic... a relm based off of ours..."
[21:44] * Hsarc begins to speak after a pause with some thought. "Johnno, to die in a prison cell with no windows surrounded by white walls, and recalling your war horros day after day, Immertot is not so bad."
[21:45] <Johnno> don't be so sure
[21:45] <Shock> Moonash, what do you mean?
[21:45] <Computer> Paradox is not measured in local ambits but in individuals. Would you like to see the sum total paradox of all magi in terra, or The Paradox Backlash also known as the Gauntlet Rating for Terra?
[21:45] <Randal_Moonash> "its something my dad talked about.."
[21:45] <Johnno> believe it or not, I died in Immertot
[21:45] <Shock> no..
[21:45] <Randal_Moonash> "Gauntlet rating."
[21:45] <Shock> what is the number out of ten allready!
[21:45] <Randal_Moonash> "I bet its like a four.."
[21:45] <Julian_Lordspear> "Or perhaps an over-reality.  I read a book on physics that described reality as 'an infinate set of mirrors in a dark void'.  Stupid metaphorical physics."
[21:45] <Shock> why?
[21:46] <Hsarc> If you died there, how are you here? Should you not be trapped like Takun and the others that were killed by the dreams
[21:46] <Randal_Moonash> "its kinda like that.. basically... if you access the power of magic.. you acess the umbral relm.."
[21:46] <Computer> This ambit has Dynamic Walls. The Gauntlet Rating Varies by Location. Specify Locale that you wish to measure the paradox rating of?
[21:46] <Randal_Moonash> "New york City"
[21:46] <Johnno> because. i was fortunate enough to be in the presence of a planshifter with the power of resurrection
[21:46] <Julian_Lordspear> So the walls would be what keeps reality seperate from... er... whatever."
[21:46] <Randal_Moonash> "something like that..>"
[21:46] <Computer> The city of New York is divided into Manhattan and 5 boros.. There are varying levels within. Please zoom in further
[21:46] <Johnno> although, he didn't bring me back until he accidentally blew up a section of forest, damaging the trees
[21:47] <Randal_Moonash> "wait.. varying levels?"
[21:47] <Shock> uh..
[21:47] <Randal_Moonash> "in such a small location?"
[21:47] * Julian_Lordspear has quit IRC (Vanished: Web IRC Disconnected�)
[21:47] <Shock> where are we exsactly?
[21:47] <Shock> green somthing?
[21:47] <Randal_Moonash> "display the numbers for all in increasing degrees..."
[21:47] <Hsarc> Well, Johnno, you may consider that luck. If that happened to me, I would be deeply depressed.
[21:47] <Johnno> i like my life. hell, i'm due to be married in a month or so
[21:47] <Randal_Moonash> "For some reason, the weather here is in havoc..."
[21:48] <>Ambiance<> The computer produces a map with colors from white to black shading all of Metropolitan New York.. The color shifts are QUITE dramatic within even a three block radius in places
[21:48] <Randal_Moonash> "What.. in the world...?"
[21:48] <Randal_Moonash> "computer.. can you detect the sources of these paradoxs?
[21:48] <Shock> every thing is a paradox
[21:49] <Shock> what did we do...
[21:49] <Randal_Moonash> "I dont think its just us.."
[21:49] <Hsarc> Well, congratulations Johnno. You will live happily. However, my only wish is to go back to Immertot. Death there is so much greater then life here.
[21:49] <Computer> All places have a gauntlet rating. These are not paradoxs
[21:49] <Shock> oh..
[21:49] * Johnno shakes his head sadly
[21:49] <Computer> Gauntlet ratings are caused by the enforcement of Consensus reality by the Consesnsus
[21:49] <Johnno> 'tis a terrible thing, when one would wish to choose death over life
[21:49] <Shock> ok....
[21:49] <Randal_Moonash> "what are the causes for increased paradox in these locales?"
[21:50] <Hsarc> You shake your head, as you do not understand the horrors I have seen. I will not even try to make you feel as I do. Enjoy the happiness you have.
[21:50] <Johnno> and even worse when one would wish to reamin undead for eternity
[21:50] <Randal_Moonash> "Within the past monthj.."
[21:50] <Shock> just give us answers!
[21:50] * Shock throws the snow down-it smashes accros the floor
[21:50] <Randal_Moonash> "You cannot get answers without questions..."
[21:50] * Randal_Moonash looks at the others helplessly
[21:51] <Shock> we have asked questions
[21:51] <Johnno> and you do not understand the hardships i have endured
[21:51] <Computer> Increased Weaver Effect Increases Gaunlet Ratings. Areas of High Technology Tend toward High Gauntlet Ratings. Technocratic locations tend toward extremely high gaunlet ratings. Natural Locales tend toward Low Gauntlet ratings. Magical Areas, nodes, and Cairns tend toward LOW gauntlet ratings
[21:51] * Elaith looks helplessly at Avarie
[21:51] * Sasori_Yaiba has quit IRC (Drowned: �)
[21:51] <Elaith> We are definitely out of our league...
[21:51] <Hsarc> Aye. We are indeed two induviduals who will not be able to comprehend one another's reasoning.
[21:51] <Randal_Moonash> "Elaith.. I'm from Queens.. how do you think I feel..."
[21:51] * Avarie nods in agreement to Elaith.
[21:52] <Randal_Moonash> "There shouldnt be ANY low gauntet readings....
[21:52] <Computer> Zooming in on queens to show finer shading
[21:52] <Randal_Moonash> "Computer isolate areas of low gauntlet areas...
[21:52] <Randal_Moonash> "er.. low gauntlet ratings.."
[21:52] <Computer> Please Specify Search Radii
[21:53] <Johnno> i have had everything torn away from me by bankruptcy and bushfire. i have known contempt and disdain from my family. and i have known what it is to be devoured by those i would call my friends
[21:53] <Randal_Moonash> "all of New york city. Show irregularities.."
[21:54] <Computer> Show only gross irregularities compared to neighboring regions or all areas below a certain gaunlet rating?
[21:54] <Randal_Moonash> "Gross irregularities"
[21:54] <>Ambiance<> The computer displays a very small handful of dots throughout all of the city
[21:54] <Randal_Moonash> "Can you isolate the sources?"
[21:54] <Shock> ok...
[21:55] <>Ambiance<> The sources are isolated"
[21:55] <Shock> how will this even help us..im so lost..
[21:55] <Hsarc> I was sent off to war at 18. I came back at 23 with memories of things so horrible I had never imagined. I was sent to prison for 50 years at 26, and I spent everyday reliving my war experiences. I escaped after some time. However, I know not even how old I am.
[21:55] <Randal_Moonash> "Displayeach of them...:
[21:55] <Shock> where are we in the map?
[21:55] <>Ambiance<> The computer displays a slide show of various buildings in new york that scrolls by exccedingly rapdily
[21:55] <Randal_Moonash> "repeat, slowly"
[21:55] * Johnno stares at Hsarc, pain in his eyes
[21:56] * Avarie leans closer in, attempting to place each in relation to herself and her apartment
[21:56] * Elaith also watches intently, slipping behind the counter to make some hot chocolate *
[21:56] <Johnno> i have seen my wife and twin children, blackened and burned by bushfire while i was in the city selling our produce
[21:56] <Randal_Moonash> "display each location for five seconds.."
[21:57] <Shock> What are you hopeing to acomplish?
[21:58] <Hsarc> I was lucky enough to be in the same unit as my best friend. Or I thought it was lucky. We were captured. They tied me up and blindfolded him. Slowly sawed him apart. Arms, then legs, down the chest, and finally cut his head off. I spent an hour forced to watch that before the rest of the unit came in and slaughtered the bastards.
[21:58] <Randal_Moonash> "Terra is supposed to be a place of no magic. If there are magic fluctuations... they arent natrual. Therefore, somethings acting up on Earth..."
[21:58] <Shock> we keep teleporting in..
[21:58] <>Ambiance<> The computer displays a slide show of several buildings. Some are small buisness others are more well known Hayden Planitarium, NYU's Washington Square East Gallery, The Torch Club, Edgars Cafe, Central Park Zoo, MOMA
[21:58] <Hsarc> It's funny how I've seen that and I was still able to kill the fucking drunk in the bar in a way so much more horrid.
[21:59] <Randal_Moonash> "Computer... is there a connection of the source of this disturbance in each location?"
[21:59] * Johnno chuckles
[22:00] <Johnno> look at us, comparing hardships like children comparing toys
[22:00] <Computer> Insufficent Data
[22:00] <Randal_Moonash> "hmm..."
[22:00] <Computer> Shall I access ARIN or the InterWEB for information on these locations?
[22:00] * dalefanwill has joined #werewolf
[22:00] <Hsarc> Indeed. Children with toys. How I wish that is what it was.
[22:00] <Shock> just do it
[22:00] * Randal_Moonash looks over at falerin
[22:00] <Falerin> "Earth is more magical then you know Randal"
[22:01] <Falerin> "Much more.... Depending on which local earth you are on"
[22:01] <Randal_Moonash> "apparently so... I can uderstand the Moma... I'm surprised it didnt show the Museum of Natrual history..."
[22:01] <Randal_Moonash> "But somtehing here is off...
[22:01] <Falerin> "The interweb will undoubtedly provide information"
[22:01] <Shock> then do it
[22:01] <Falerin> "it is safer then ARIN"
[22:01] <Randal_Moonash> "Computer, acess the interweb..."
[22:01] <Shock> its whorth the risk
[22:02] <Falerin> Hi and Welcome to ThirdCity Interweb... I am Reality your Guide
[22:02] * Elaith mutters about having just been sitting and reading Machiavelli peacefully *
[22:02] <Randal_Moonash> "yeah... Arin really gave me a headache.."
[22:02] <Reality> Hi and Welcome to ThirdCity Interweb... I am Reality your Guide
[22:02] <Randal_Moonash> "youve done this before, havent you Falerin"
[22:03] <Randal_Moonash> "what would YOU look for.."
[22:03] <Reality> What is your Login
[22:03] <Randal_Moonash> "Randal Moonash"
[22:03] <Reality> Moonash, Randal
[22:04] <Shock> just moon ash, no?
[22:04] <Reality> The Computer displays Randal's Drivers License, Passport, Birth Certificate, And his childhood home and every home SINCE then
[22:04] <Randal_Moonash> "its a nickname.. holy...
[22:04] <Randal_Moonash> "thats... frightening.."
[22:04] <Shock> woah...
[22:05] <Randal_Moonash> "Heh... least it doesnt know about my ghost life... I hope..."
[22:05] <Reality> Warning: Moonash, Randal is not an Awakened Being
[22:05] <Shock> ?
[22:05] <Reality> I am sorry but you are not a member of ThirdCity
[22:05] <Reality> And are not an awakened being....
[22:05] <Avarie> An Awakened Being?  ThirdCity?  What are those things?
[22:05] <Reality> Do you wish to apply for Hospice Status?
[22:06] <Randal_Moonash> "wait what is all this.."
[22:06] <Reality> Do you wish to apply for Refuge Status?
[22:06] <Elaith> How would one become awakened anyways?
[22:06] <Randal_Moonash> "umm yes?"
[22:06] <Shock> hospice?
[22:06] <Reality> Warning: Moonash, Randal You are not currently within the Ambit of ThirdCity but are in an Analog Version of Terra
[22:06] <Shock> do it
[22:06] <Reality> Would you like to shift to ThirdCity's Ambit?
[22:06] <Randal_Moonash> "I have no idea what is going on..."
[22:07] <Randal_Moonash> "yes."
[22:07] <Reality> "Summoning Portal"
[22:07] <Shock> Woah...
[22:07] <Shock> awsome...
[22:07] <Shock> it can cast portals..
[22:07] <Randal_Moonash> "this computer is insane..."
[22:07] <>Ambiance<> A blue lightning bolt appears in the middle of the Book Store
[22:07] <Johnno> ThirdCity... for some reason, that name seems familiar
[22:07] <Hsarc> This is all so confusing....
[22:07] <Shock> lighting?
[22:07] * Avarie jumps and lets out a little scream.
[22:07] <Johnno> heh. now THAT'S familiar
[22:07] <Shock> do we walk into it?
[22:07] <>Ambiance<> It hovers there and expands into a large gape in reality
[22:08] <Shock> woah...
[22:08] * Elaith screams as well but no sound comes out *
[22:08] * Falerin does not wait he enters the lightning bolt and vanishes
[22:08] <Johnno> well, where Falerin goes, i go
[22:08] * Shock runs after exsited of the idea
[22:08] * Randal_Moonash grabs the laptop and enters it
[22:08] * Johnno follows Falerin
[22:08] * Shock enters
[22:08] * Reven tobbles over onto the floor, still looking straight ahead at the ceiling, not having moved for some time.
[22:08] <Elaith> I wanna know what is going on.
[22:08] * Hsarc walks in after Falerin. "Here it goes."
[22:08] <Elaith> *grabs Reven and goes in after*
[22:09] * Avarie shrugs helplessly but decides that since nothing makes sense, she might as well go along.
[22:09] <>Ambiance<> You stand between worlds. A whirling cylinder of gray mist above and below and beside forms a long tunnel
[22:09] <Johnno> wow...
[22:10] <Hsarc> Seems to be only one way to go.
[22:10] <Johnno> looks like it
[22:10] * Elaith almost drops Reven with awe, but keeps a hold of him *
[22:10] * Hsarc begins to walk towards the end.
[22:10] <Falerin> "Here the walls have been thinned and a doorway has been opened
[22:10] <Randal_Moonash> "At the heels of creation...
[22:10] * Hsarc stops to piece together what is going on.
[22:10] <Falerin> "Huh?"
[22:11] <Shock> !? where are we...?
[22:11] <Randal_Moonash> "Something I read posted by galrick...
[22:11] * Avarie glances at Randal
[22:11] <Falerin> "I do not know anything about heels of creation. this is localized it was done by an artifact I recognize from my previous visit"
[22:11] * Johnno adjusts his pack, which he had picked up before entering the portal
[22:11] <Randal_Moonash> "what artifact woudl this be?
[22:11] <Falerin> "Its a mirror created by an ancient race of magi that is designed specifically for space and time travel"
[22:11] <Randal_Moonash> "what race woudl that be?"
[22:12] <Falerin> "Move along these portals will destabilize if we stay still"
[22:12] <Falerin> "They called themselves the Wyk"
[22:12] * Randal_Moonash begins moving
[22:12] <Randal_Moonash> "the Wyk?"
[22:12] * Shock follow
[22:12] <Falerin> "Of course other races have created similiar artifacts and other worlds"
[22:12] * Hsarc continues forward at a reduced pace.
[22:12] * Johnno moves
[22:12] <Falerin> "Some of them are powerful enough to thin the walls of an enitre world completely"
[22:12] <Randal_Moonash> "hmm..."
[22:12] * Elaith and Reven follow after *
[22:13] <Randal_Moonash> "Which one is lore?"
[22:13] <Falerin> "But I have never seen such an artifact only heard of one"
[22:13] <Falerin> "I cannot say.. this is a short distant hop"
[22:13] <Falerin> "From one alternate earth to another"
[22:13] <Falerin> "Lore is a LONG distance hop"
[22:13] <Randal_Moonash> "i see... so what kind of artifact would this be?"
[22:13] <Shock> i see...
[22:14] * Falerin stops
[22:14] <Johnno> we should keep moving. who knows how long this place will remain. i have no desire to get stuck between worlds
[22:14] <Falerin> "I really only know a very little bit about it.. Since I stayed in thrid city"
[22:14] <Hsarc> I don't know, Johnno. It doesn't seem that bad.
[22:14] <Falerin> "I suggest you do not dilly dally here.. if the portal collapse and we are within it spills you into the deep umbral realm"
[22:14] <Johnno> not to you, maybe
[22:14] <Randal_Moonash> "oh lets move then... lead on, Falerin"
[22:15] <Shock> lets keep going...
[22:15] <Shock> fast..
[22:15] <Hsarc> If we must.
[22:15] * Hsarc continues onward.
[22:15] * Elaith moves as fast as possible towards the end of the tunnel, carrying Reven on his back *
[22:15] * Falerin steps out into the same bookstore
[22:15] * Johnno follows Falerin
[22:15] <Falerin> "Ooh it was very faithful in... SHIT"
[22:15] * Randal_Moonash follows
[22:15] * Hsarc follows along.
[22:15] <Randal_Moonash> what?"
[22:15] <Falerin> "New York in Thrid Cities Reality...."
[22:15] <Shock> what?
[22:15] <Falerin> "Is a postnuclear Waste Land"
[22:15] <Johnno> wow. there's something that doesn't happen often
[22:15] <Randal_Moonash> "Umm.. crud..."
[22:15] <Shock> !!
[22:16] * Elaith steps out and hears SHIT escape Falerin's mouth *
[22:16] <Johnno> Falerin swore. first time i've heard him do that
[22:16] <Randal_Moonash> "computer, create antinuclear bubble around us!"
[22:16] * Avarie glances around curiously
[22:16] * Randal_Moonash wonders how much power the computer has..."
[22:16] <Falerin> "Radiation Level in this location is only 2 Rankins"
[22:16] * Randal_Moonash and if he can get a palmpilot version...
[22:16] <Randal_Moonash> "only... right?"
[22:16] <Falerin> "Right here"
[22:16] <Randal_Moonash> "well still, thats not safe. better safe than sorry."
[22:17] <Shock> Dont move then?
[22:17] <Falerin> "The rest of new york may be much worse"
[22:17] * Falerin closes his eyes
[22:17] <Falerin> "
[22:17] <Johnno> can we survive here? at least long enough to get out of this city
[22:17] <Hsarc> I would conserve the power, Randal. It will most likely be needed.
[22:17] <Falerin> "No... its not"
[22:17] <Randal_Moonash> "therefore, why dont we summon an antiradiation bubble with this thing.."
[22:17] <Falerin> "The radiation levels are quite low in fact"
[22:17] <Randal_Moonash> "still.."
[22:17] * Falerin frowns thats peculiar
[22:18] <Falerin> "Apparently the fallout is much less then it appears.. but they leave big warnings to stay away"
[22:18] <Falerin> "I wonder why"
[22:18] <Johnno> perhaps there is something they want hidden in this area?
[22:18] <Falerin> "Well I can say this it was the technocrats who bombed new york in an attempt to stop the vampires and garou from going public"
[22:18] <Falerin> "They failed...."
[22:19] <Randal_Moonash> "Thats my assumption exactly.."
[22:19] <Randal_Moonash> "what are Garou?"
[22:19] <Shock> wha?
[22:19] <Falerin> "Lycanthropes.. though it is not an infection but rather a genetic strain. Homo Sapiens lupus.
[22:19] * Johnno has never put much trust in governments
[22:19] <Falerin> "Or Canis Lupus Hominae depending on who you ask"
[22:19] <Randal_Moonash> "Oh.. never heard of that... whats their weakness?"
[22:19] <Johnno> so... werewolves, then
[22:19] <Falerin> "Yes.."
[22:20] <Shock> no...
[22:20] <Randal_Moonash> "Wait... wasnt that in like Fatal Fury or something?
[22:20] <Falerin> "Werewolves.. though they find the term distasteful"
[22:20] <Shock> no...
[22:20] <Falerin> "Neither"
[22:20] <Hsarc> And so they bombed the city to cover up the two species? They sacrificed all these lives?
[22:20] <Reality> "Shall I materialize at your location?"
[22:20] <Shock> yes?
[22:21] <Randal_Moonash> &quot;yes."
[22:21] <>Ambiance<> A fairly attractive auburn haired female appears
[22:21] <Falerin> Hi Rhea
[22:21] <Randal_Moonash> "Greetings"
[22:21] <Reality> Hey Fal... what have you been up to
[22:21] <Shock> ...what?
