[14:18] Computer: Sixty Four Percent is greater then 50percent
[14:18] Stromy: Uhh ohh dammit
[14:19] Lkeas: I am sorry we could not stay longer
[14:19] Computer: Removal from Ambit
[14:19] Stromy: Goodbye
[14:19] Lkeas: You wished to know of our nature
[14:19] Lkeas: This is it...
[14:20] Shock: Who is in control of it anyway...
[14:20] >Ambiance<: Constructing Reality Wave
[14:20] LordBarrius: I do not like this one bit....
[14:21] * Leo_Biaxomus sighs
[14:21] *** DFW|Food has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[14:21] Shock: Not Again
[14:21] Shock: No
[14:21] * Hadin frowns "I did not mean MY Avatar, Lkeas...but THE Avatar."
[14:22] Shock: Not another portal
[14:22] Leo_Biaxomus: Here we go again
[14:22] Computer: Decoherence
[14:22] >Ambiance<: Blackness
[14:23] >Ambiance<: That is what you see after that moment. Just pure inky blackness and a sense of floating somewhere in the nether.
[14:23] >Ambiance<: Resume Epic
[14:23] * Lkeas floats about with her arms held in front of her
[14:24] Lkeas: well, this is disorienting...
[14:24] * Hadin coughs a few times into the nether
[14:24] Gekkonidae: This is something new.
[14:24] Shock: OK...whats wrong with this...its takeing a while this time..
[14:24] *** maieo has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[14:24] * Robert_Kepley looks around, confused
[14:25] Shock: Normaly its a teleport sort of thing. As in instant.
[14:25] Lkeas: Shock, is that you? i can't see a thing
[14:25] * Gekkonidae wonders if doing a backstroke is possible and attempts it.
[14:25] Robert_Kepley: What is this?
[14:25] Shock: Yes it is...Lkeas?
[14:25] Jeice: Well now, this is interesting.  Nothing like what Geno described.
[14:25] Hadin: "If this were magic I were completely familiar with...I'd say some influence of countermagic was at work, but..."
[14:25] Jeice: Can anyone tell me where I am?
[14:25] Lkeas: wait... that voice...
[14:25] * Gekkonidae makes the motions of a backstroke and feels as if she is doing one but any movement that occurs is questionable
[14:25] Shock: Robert?
[14:25] Robert_Kepley: Yes?
[14:25] Lkeas: it can't be...
[14:26] Lkeas: we left him in Immertot...

[14:26] Hadin: "You left me in Immertot too, Lkeas..."
[14:26] Shock: Wow...time travle not only saved Hadin and Falerin, but Robert somehow.
[14:26] *** maieo has joined #epic.
[14:26] Shock: Well. Not saved yet.
[14:27] * Hadin begins sweeping his cane out in front of him slowly, much like a blind man might to find obstacles.
[14:27] Shock: But we are getting to that right? I would hope..We missed all of that infromation and all, I hope it pays off.
[14:27] Jeice: Excuse me, can anyone explain what is going on?
[14:27] * Gekkonidae catches the cane and pulls on it.
[14:27] Shock: No idea.
[14:27] Shock: And you are...
[14:27] *** Avarie has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[14:27] Gekkonidae: Enjoy what I assume is the temporary peace.
[14:27] * Hadin is pulled toward Gekkonidae suddenly. "Whoa now..."
[14:28] Gekkonidae: So, that's who the cane belongs to.
[14:28] * Lkeas fumbles about uselessly
[14:28] Shock: Heh.
[14:28] Lkeas: where is that laptop...
[14:28] Hadin: "And you might be...?"
[14:28] Shock: Not sure..
[14:28] Gekkonidae: Gekkonidae
[14:28] Lkeas: Randal? where are you!
[14:28] Shock: I dont see it.
[14:28] Lkeas: we need some gigalux or whatever the heck it is!
[14:28] * RandalMoonash screams and goes OOF as he slams into the ground
[14:28] Hadin: "Hadin Gan'Kar, Artificer by trade and hobby..."
[14:28] RandalMoonash: sonofa...
[14:29] * kingk wakes up after hearing the screaming
[14:29] Lkeas: ...
[14:29] Lkeas: ground?
[14:29] Gekkonidae: I'm floating.
[14:29] kingk: ?
[14:29] Gekkonidae: I don't think that there is a ground...
[14:29] * Lkeas kicks her legs trying to find something solid to stand on
[14:29] Hadin: "The same here, I believe...save that you've been pulling on my cane."
[14:29] *** FulcanXIII has joined #epic.
[14:29] * RandalMoonash reaches underneath him pulling up the laptop..
[14:29] RandalMoonash: I think i landed on this...
[14:29] Shock: You standing on the laptop?
[14:29] Shock: Thought as much.
[14:29] Jeice: I can't make any light here.  I can't say I like this.
[14:30] *** FulcanXIII has left #epic.
[14:30] Lkeas: see if it'll work for you, Randal. we need to figure out where it put us...
[14:30] kingk: my god this is incredible
[14:30] kingk: yet frightening
[14:30] Hadin: "Tis quite like a void...maybe even the void...I've only heard a few stories myself."
[14:30] RandalMoonash: er.. wat?
[14:30] Shock: Not at all..
[14:30] RandalMoonash: umm Ok?
[14:30] * RandalMoonash opens the laptop
[14:31] Shock: Its terribul
[14:31] kingk: we need to find away out and fast
[14:31] Jeice: Excuse me but do any of you know what is going on?
[14:31] Shock: No.
[14:31] Shock: Just as little idea as you do.
[14:31] kingk: like wise
[14:31] Shock: Well...
[14:31] Shock: Mabye a little more.
[14:31] Lkeas: well, we had been standing in the presence of King Tralin and Darin the Vandarian...
[14:32] *** Mode change "+v maieo" for channel #epic by Falerin.
[14:32] Shock: But you would go insane hearing it, so i wont...Lkeas..
[14:32] * Elaith finally adjusts to the semi-weightlessness *
[14:32] kingk: from the archives?
[14:32] Jeice: King Tralin?  Are you sure?
[14:32] Hadin: "Last I recall, we were being transported by a randomly determined chance from that very laptop."
[14:32] Shock: That could drive one...Oh..Jeice knows oh him.
[14:32] Lkeas: yes, it was definitely him, he did quite an impressive feat of magic to teleport us to where he was
[14:32] *** LB|Dinner is now known as LordBarrius.
[14:32] Jeice: A laptop?  Oh, it must the one that Geno mentioned!
[14:32] Hadin: "Speaking of laptops...hmm...mind letting go of my cane Gekkonidae?"
[14:33] kingk: im guessing we have no hope of him saving us
[14:33] Lkeas: but before we could determine why we might have been transported there, the laptop took us away..
[14:33] Shock: Hey..
[14:33] kingk: teleporting takes up much power
[14:33] Shock: Wounder if his does still work..
[14:33] Gekkonidae: suppose so *lets go*
[14:33] Shock: It ran out before.
[14:33] Shock: Mabye its charged now.
[14:33] Gekkonidae: Stuck in a void?
[14:33] * Hadin holds the cane in the crux of one arm and begins patting down his pockets.
[14:33] RandalMoonash: hmm?
[14:33] kingk: well we should contimplate why it sent us here?
[14:34] Shock: Uh..
[14:34] kingk: is it usually this helpful?
[14:34] * RandalMoonash taps the laptop
[14:34] RandalMoonash: nothin yet.
[14:34] Shock: There was a 50% chance.
[14:34] Shock: And now we are stuck
[14:34] Gekkonidae: fun
[14:34] Shock: Not exsactly teleporting at all.
[14:34] Hadin: "Nothing there...nothing there...did I mention this feels unusually good on my old bones?...hmm, there's something..."
[14:34] Lkeas: this is not helping us with either side of our conundrum...
[14:34] Shock: Teleporting implys that it is instant normaly.
[14:35] Lkeas: unless...
[14:35] kingk: most certainly isnt
[14:35] * Elaith stays silent and decides in his head to watch events unfold and just hope *
[14:35] Shock: And what do you suggest will Lkeas?
[14:35] * Lkeas thinks for a moment
[14:35] *** dalefanwill has joined #epic.
[14:35] Lkeas: eternal darkness...
[14:35] * maieo floats around, spinning in circles as she trys to keep her skirts straight
[14:35] Lkeas: but that can't be, there was no door...
[14:35] kingk: eternal darkness...?
[14:35] * Hadin pulls out his Artefact by feel. "Hmm, alas, I need to see to toy with this artefact."
[14:36] Jeice: To clarify who you people are, do any of you know a man by the name of Geno?
[14:36] kingk: yes
[14:36] RandalMoonash: meh.
[14:36] kingk: i know him briefly
[14:36] maieo: i think i've heard of him
[14:36] Hadin: "Hmm, sounds familiar, yup."
[14:36] Lkeas: yes, he is an acquaintance of mine in another realm
[14:36] * RandalMoonash shuts the laptop and puts it in his coat
[14:36] Jeice: Really?  Good, then I'm not completely lost.
[14:36] Gekkonidae: I was with him for a while.
[14:37] * LordBarrius drifts about, remaining silent but clearly feeling a little ill.
[14:37] Jeice: He's an old friend of mine.  My name is Jeice.
[14:37] kingk: you guys ever think we should just.....
[14:37] * Gekkonidae swims around a bit, trying to find any boundaries... if she's even moving.
[14:37] kingk: i dont know cal for help?
[14:37] * Hadin puts his own laptop, or as he prefers to call it, his Artefact away in his inner robes. "Now...lets see...can any of ye draw upon power of whatever sort you might call magic?"
[14:37] Lkeas: forgive me if i don't shake your hand, Jeice... i can't seem to find it in this blackness
[14:37] Jeice: I'd shake your hands, but... I can't exactly see them.
[14:38] Shock: So what are we to do.
[14:38] Jeice: I don't know if my magic works here sir.  Geno has told me that his did not in some realms.
[14:38] Gekkonidae: attempt to explore a bit
[14:38] Shock: Is this what indicision brought us?
[14:38] Shock: Oh yes Geno...
[14:39] Robert_Kepley: Wait... what?!
[14:39] * RandalMoonash shrugs
[14:39] *** Mode change "+v dalefanwill" for channel #epic by Falerin.
[14:39] Jeice: Plus, I'm afraid I would not know where to shine the light.
[14:39] RandalMoonash: Anyone got an idea of where we are?
[14:39] Shock: Would be a fellow magi to my people, he cant cast a single spell and its the same for them.
[14:39] Hadin: "Jeice....Jeice....hold on a moment.  Does Geno typically invoke your name when he casts?"
[14:39] Jeice: Um, invoke my name?  What do you mean?
[14:40] Shock: Say it...
[14:40] Lkeas: hey, we should try to do something besides float about aimlessly...
[14:40] Hadin: "No...that can't be right.  Maybe my mind is afuzz...I did die that night."
[14:40] *** dalefanwill has signed off IRC (NickServ (GHOST command used by daleafanwill)).
[14:40] Shock: As in say it as "magic words" or to help him focus.
[14:40] *** Avarie has joined #epic.
[14:40] RandalMoonash: Ah.. guess not,,...
[14:40] Jeice: He did say he attempted to contact me at one point, for permission to use his magic.
[14:40] * Lkeas moves about in the dark attempting to find someone nearby by touch rather than sight
[14:40] Hadin: "That'd be what I am remembering, methinks."
[14:41] Lkeas: perhaps if we can group together...
[14:41] *** Mode change "+v Avarie" for channel #epic by Falerin.
[14:41] * Robert_Kepley tries to think
[14:41] RandalMoonash: Lkeas... hand... off the butt.
[14:41] Jeice: My name hardly has any power to it.
[14:41] Lkeas: whoops, sorry about that Randal.
[14:41] * Hadin starts casting his cane about again, to try and reestablish contact with Gekkonidae.
[14:41] * Lkeas does hang on to Randal's shoulder, however
[14:41] Lkeas: let's see who else we can find...
[14:41] * RandalMoonash rolls his eyes
[14:42] * maieo spins wildly out of control
[14:42] Shock: maieo, you OK?
[14:42] Computer: Warning: Connection with power source terminated. We are operating on battery power.
[14:42] maieo: yeah..just..having...bit...trouble...
[14:42] * kingk passes out over his clotrophobic issues and while in the darkness
[14:42] Shock: uh...
[14:42] * LordBarrius flails his arms, trying to see if anyone is in the immediate area.
[14:42] Shock: thats..bad
[14:42] Shock: Wait
[14:42] Shock: Listen
[14:42] RandalMoonash: What? Damn!
[14:43] Shock: it means that we are in this realm, and it cant get power
[14:43] Jeice: It is on?
[14:43] Shock: use it wisely
[14:43] * Lkeas gets slapped in the jaw by LordBarrius's mad flailing
[14:43] Lkeas: yow!
[14:43] Hadin: "That's...not good.  Batteries die, as my Artefact proved..."
[14:43] Shock: So...
[14:43] LordBarrius: Er, sorry....
[14:43] Lkeas: wait, before you float off...
[14:43] * Lkeas grabs LB's arm
[14:43] Shock: Try and see if it can take us back to my..the inn.
[14:43] Lkeas: ok, i've got Randal and LB now...
[14:43] RandalMoonash: Uhh guys.. if this laptop goes out.. we might be stuck here....
[14:43] * Gekkonidae grabs the crazy man's flailing cane again.
[14:43] Jeice: That laptop, can that provide light?
[14:43] * Avarie stumbles out of a portal which appeared in a flash and disappeared just as rapidly. In her voice, you can hear a note of resignation as she looks about and askes, "Now where are we?"
[14:43] Shock: I know Moonash.
[14:44] RandalMoonash: on low battery power? are you NUTS?!
[14:44] Shock: See if it has the power to get us out
[14:44] * Robert_Kepley crosses his arms and sighs
[14:44] * maieo trys to grab the faint outline of a foot in front of her. Is it Lkeas?
[14:44] Jeice: Well, we can't do anything else.
[14:44] Shock: I would bet that we can recharge it when in a real realm
[14:44] RandalMoonash: Where? Any bright ideas?
[14:44] Shock: Falerin cant reach us here.
[14:44] Jeice: Turn it off if you won't use it!
[14:44] Shock: The inn
[14:44] Hadin: "Thar we go...glad to see you are still paying some attention. Now then, Gekkonidae was it?  Ye think you can reach others with this walking stick 'o mine?"
[14:44] * Lkeas pulls back her foot in alarm
[14:44] Shock: My inn.
[14:44] Lkeas: who's there?
[14:44] RandalMoonash: Bah.
[14:44] Shock: THe place of Hadin's death
[14:44] Shock: And so forth
[14:45] Lkeas: we have to be very specific
[14:45] maieo: whos foot was that?
[14:45] * Robert_Kepley clentches his fists
[14:45] Gekkonidae: Why don't you keep swinging it around? You seem to be doing well enough with it.
[14:45] Shock: Safest place, unless you suggest we go back to Tralin?
[14:45] RandalMoonash: Hmm..
[14:45] Jeice: Let's see, maybe if I use a little bit of gravity magic... just a bit...
[14:45] Lkeas: that was mine, I'm Lkeas... who are you?
[14:45] Shock: We cant just say the place of Hadin's death though. We remember it but it never happend/
[14:45] Shock: Jeice
[14:46] * Jeice slams into LordBarrius.
[14:46] RandalMoonash: I dont know..
[14:46] Shock: You will kill yourself
[14:46] * Hadin has, by this time, latched onto Gekkonidae's arm with a withered old hand. "If ye insist...I suppose ye ought to hold on if I'm to swing." Soon enough, he swings vertically in this spatial void.
[14:46] Computer: Disconnecting all tethers to Arin CaelWev and InterWeb to maintain power. Access to these realities is now close
[14:46] Jeice: Ow!  Sorry!
[14:46] Lkeas: grab onto him, LB! we should stick together...
[14:46] * LordBarrius gasps. "Gah, who was that?"
[14:46] Shock: The levels of magic is differnt here.
[14:46] Computer: Repeat Disconnecting all tethers to Arin CaelWev and InterWeb to maintain power. Access to these realities is now closed
[14:46] * LordBarrius reaches out with his other arm and grasps Jeice.
[14:46] Shock: Allright
[14:46] Shock: so lets think.
[14:46] Jeice: I used a bit too much power in that gravity spell.
[14:46] RandalMoonash: Wait?! damn...
[14:46] RandalMoonash: Ummm.
[14:46] RandalMoonash: quick! I need a location!
[14:46] Gekkonidae: So we're even more free floating?
[14:47] * Avarie tries to get her bearings, as she tries to identify the voices.
[14:47] Shock: one:no magic. You will get yourselves killed. You proboly dident Jeice. The magic may be greater here.
[14:47] Lkeas: what was the name of the inn?
[14:47] Lkeas: it had a title...
[14:47] RandalMoonash: We are gonna get stuck here...
[14:47] Shock: Two: We must chose somewhere to go.
[14:47] Shock: now
[14:47] Shock: And
[14:47] Shock: As we have a better "title" as Lkeas put it for where we came from, i have an idea.
[14:48] * Hadin is getting frustrated with flailing his cane about and not connecting with anyone. "Can't you bloody well just specify Immertot, if ye seek me to be damned so soon?"
[14:48] Shock: I think the reson its low on power is being in this realm.
[14:48] *** maieo has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[14:48] Shock: So lets go back to Tralin and from there Immertot.
[14:48] Computer: Complete power drain will occur in 10 min 15 sec 20 ms 230ns
[14:48] *** auralia has joined #epic.
[14:48] * Avarie tries to move towards toward a voice she believes might be Lkeas, arms outstreached before her, feeling the empty air.
[14:48] RandalMoonash: Its bene doing this for a while..
[14:48] Shock: Now
[14:48] Shock: its a long shot but try
[14:48] RandalMoonash: Fine. Computer, take us to Tralin.
[14:48] Shock: !!
[14:48] Shock: King Tralin, in...in..
[14:49] *** auralia has signed off IRC (Vaporized: ).
[14:49] RandalMoonash: ....
[14:49] Lkeas: everyone! follow my voice! i don't know how close we have to be to the laptop to jump!
[14:49] Shock: what city again?
[14:49] RandalMoonash: King Tralin in Lore?
[14:49] Robert_Kepley: Tralin?
[14:49] Shock: that will do i guess.
[14:49] * Hadin harumphs mightily, then lucks out as his cane smacks into Lkeas' shin.
[14:49] Lkeas: geez. i'm gonna have so many bruises after this mess...
[14:49] Gekkonidae: We still don't know if- well, that works
[14:49] * Lkeas grabs onto Hadin's cane
[14:49] Shock: If we want to save them, our first shot is getting out of here.
[14:49] Computer: Attempting to Adjust Abmit
[14:49] RandalMoonash: er.. we dont knwo if this is gonna work..
[14:49] Shock: Please work..
[14:49] * Hadin pulls on his cane to bring him and Gekkonidae close enough to latch onto Lkeas and company.
[14:49] * Avarie mumbles under her breath what sounds like a stream of curses, directed at both portals and computers.
[14:50] Computer: Constructing Reality Wayvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve
[14:50] Lkeas: Avarie? was that you mumbling?
[14:50] Shock: what the...
[14:50] Shock: uh...
[14:50] Gekkonidae: fun
[14:50] * LordBarrius frowns. "I really hope it works...."
[14:50] Shock: Well anywhere is better then here, right guys?
[14:50] * kingk awakes after feeling better
[14:50] Computer: Decogherence Falure
[14:50] Lkeas: oh no...
[14:50] *** maieo has joined #epic.
[14:50] RandalMoonash: Oh god..
[14:50] >Ambiance<: There is a flip
[14:50] Shock: I have been ready to die for a long time now so lets-darn it..
[14:50] RandalMoonash: What?
[14:50] >Ambiance<: A sense of transitition.....
[14:50] Hadin: "Hmm...that sounded close.  Who do we have...here...,"  he taps Avarie on the head with his cane,  "cursing like a sailor, hmm?"
[14:51] Shock: huh?
[14:51] Shock: Where are we...
[14:51] Gekkonidae: Wait and we'll see?
[14:51] kingk: here we go....
[14:51] Shock: I feel like im being pulled on.
[14:51] Lkeas: is everyone close yet? any stragglers?
[14:51] >Ambiance<: and then the group is falling some 10 feet into a vast body of cold water
[14:51] Avarie: Jeez.  A little gentler please.
[14:51] RandalMoonash: Ohshit not again...
[14:51] Shock: ah!?
[14:51] Gekkonidae: I think that I liked floating better...
[14:51] >Ambiance<: A vast lighted suspension bridge hangs above you
[14:51] * Avarie rubs her head where the cane made connection.
[14:51] Shock: ow...
[14:51] * kingk swims up fast
[14:52] Gekkonidae: damn cold water too
[14:52] * Avarie spits out a stream of water.
[14:52] * Hadin splutters and flails about, his own clothes weighing him down...
[14:52] kingk: man thats too col after a nap!
[14:52] RandalMoonash: sonofa..
[14:52] * Gekkonidae treads water while shivering.
[14:52] RandalMoonash: Where the HELL are we..
[14:52] * Lkeas treads confusedly
[14:52] Jeice: Brr!
[14:52] Shock: Well we are not "here" any more, and "there" now "here" is better Marrin so who cares?
[14:52] Lkeas: i don't think i'll ever get used to jumping...
[14:52] * RandalMoonash starts treading water, shivering
[14:52] Hadin: "*blubber splutter* help! *splutter*"
[14:52] * LordBarrius hits the water with a splash. He emerges shivering cold. "I liked the inky blackness better."
[14:52] * Avarie looks about and sees Hadin floundering
[14:52] Shock: I love the cold
[14:52] Shock: Hadin..
[14:52] kingk: lets just get to the bridge im not trying to flaot around and think
[14:52] Shock: Cant swim?

[14:52] * Lkeas swims over to the Artificer
[14:52] * Jeice helps Hadin to the surface.
[14:52] * Gekkonidae yanks Hadin up.
[14:52] Lkeas: Avarie, help, i can't hold him...
[14:52] * Avarie swims up behind him and performs a perfect active drowning victom rescue.

[14:53] * Shock laughs a little then goes to try and help
[14:53] kingk: gggggoood wwwork
[14:53] * Lkeas looks up at the bridge, then follows it to where she hopes there is a shore to swim towards
[14:53] * Hadin is yanked to the surface, his face red and spluttering incomprehensible mutterings.
[14:53] * Avarie swims to the bank, Hadin's body on top of hers, her legs performing the breaststroke kick underneath him.
[14:53] * kingk follows vigurously
[14:54] * RandalMoonash starts swimming after lkeas
[14:54] * LordBarrius follows after Lkeas, still trembling a bit even as he strokes.
[14:54] Shock: aw...does that mean i have to leave the water? Oh fine. lets see where we are.
[14:54] * Robert_Kepley swims while he thinks of the great treason
[14:54] Lkeas: keep the bridge in sight... it's our only landmark at this point...
[14:54] * Shock swims to shore
[14:54] * Jeice follows aswell.
[14:54] * Hadin thinks for a moment while he is 'atop' Avarie's swimming form, then shrugs off his outer robes. Nothing was contained within, after all...
[14:54] Shock: AH..
[14:55] Gekkonidae: Do any of the laptops happen to be waterproof... somehow?
[14:55] Shock: Darn it..my leg..its still hurting..
[14:55] RandalMoonash: so... ca... co ...coo cool.d
[14:55] Jeice: I sure hope so maam.
[14:55] * Lkeas slows her progress to let Shock catch up to her
[14:55] Shock: Its an insterment of a god, ofcourse its waterproof
[14:55] Robert_Kepley: Who knows.....
[14:55] Lkeas: here, hang on..
[14:55] * Hadin splutters and shivers, but does not answer yet.
[14:56] Shock: Eletricuting your leg is a bad plan all. Just thought you should know. I would have rather gotten chomped.
[14:56] >Ambiance<: After severe trudging you find yourself at a urban center of some sort
[14:56] * Hadin is also attempting to flail his legs productively, the intent to help Avarie get him to shore, with comic results.
[14:56] Shock: hmm..
[14:56] Shock: so what kind of place is this.
[14:56] Shock: You guys see anyone?
[14:56] RandalMoonash: co...cold...
[14:56] * maieo unseen and lagging, frog-kicks behind the group
[14:56] * RandalMoonash shivers
[14:57] Jeice: I need to et dry.  Water is NOT my element.
[14:57] * LordBarrius drags himself onto the shore and glances around. "Hhhhaven't a ccclue, Ssshock."
[14:57] * Lkeas looks back towards the water searching for anyone missing
[14:57] >Ambiance<: numerous vehicles travel across the bridge as do some pedestrians
[14:57] Shock: Oh comeon.
[14:57] Shock: Its just a little water..
[14:57] Shock: Huh..
[14:57] Gekkonidae: huh
[14:57] Shock: Will we risk greeting them?
[14:57] Jeice: Crud, people.
[14:57] * Gekkonidae shakes off a bit of the water and wrings out bits of the clothing.
[14:57] Jeice: There goes drying off.
[14:57] Shock: Nothing better to do, lets.
[14:58] Robert_Kepley: Yes
[14:58] * Lkeas suddenly dives back into the water and returns helping maieo join the group
[14:58] RandalMoonash: so.. c... cold.. where.. are we?
[14:58] Gekkonidae: perfect group to be going up to people like this
[14:58] Robert_Kepley: They might help us
[14:58] LordBarrius: Water, especially cold water, is NOT my favorite element Shock.
[14:58] * Shock walks up to one of the pedestrians
[14:58] Voice: Swimming in the east river in november?
[14:58] Shock: Yes..
[14:58] * Hadin shivers and tries to wring all the water he can from his inner robes...pulling out his Artefact as he does so. He looks at it critically for a few moments.
[14:58] Voice: Are you high?
[14:58] Shock: Long story.
[14:58] Gekkonidae: not that I know of
[14:58] Shock: No. Cant say I am.
[14:59] Jeice: You guys don't understand, I was being literal.
[14:59] * Lkeas turns to maieo: I think you were the one tugging on my leg, no?
[14:59] kingk: are we back in our world?
[14:59] *** Avarie has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[14:59] Shock: And this wont help my point but..
[14:59] Shock: Sir, where are we?
[14:59] Voice: I do not kow that I would swim in the east River in August
[14:59] RandalMoonash: E..east river?

[14:59] * Lkeas looks around for the source of the voice
[14:59] * Robert_Kepley shakes the watter off of himself
[14:59] Shock: Uh..Sail boad crashed
[14:59] kingk: oh man.....
[14:59] Voice: Its even worse then the hudson

[15:00] Hadin: "I now know what a two-bear feels like...without all its fur and fat."
[15:00] Robert_Kepley: What or who was "Hudson"?
[15:00] Shock: My geography is a bit bad, where is the hudson?
[15:00] Hadin: "I'm going to need a new cane too...damnit all."
[15:00] *** maieo has joined #epic.
[15:00] RandalMoonash: Its... a river in ... N..nnew york
[15:00] Lkeas: the Hudson river... are we back in New York?
[15:00] * RandalMoonash continues to shiver
[15:00] kingk: hudson is in new york/ new jersey i think
[15:00] Shock: Ah.
[15:01] Shock: Allright.
[15:01] * Lkeas still can't find the stranger addressing the group amongst the busy streets and pedestrians
[15:01] * Hadin shudders with the chill soaking into his bones from his cold, wet clothes.
[15:01] RandalMoonash: E...east river is in... nn.nnnew york city.
[15:01] * Shock mumbles under his breath "that exsplains that guys behavior"
[15:01] Voice: In fact I am fairly sure I would rather drink water from a newark sewer
[15:01] kingk: and you are?
[15:01] * Hadin coughs several times.
[15:01] kingk: and i wouldnt
[15:01] kingk: i live there
[15:01] RandalMoonash: W..who are you?
[15:02] * Avarie shivers as she wrings water from her long blond hair and her dripping clothes.
[15:02] * Jeice shivers.
[15:02] kingk: hadin you alright?
[15:02] Shock: Heh. We are not from around here. We sort of drifted after the crash...
[15:02] * LordBarrius continues to tremble a bit, but stands and tries to focus on the conversation.
[15:02] * Hadin mutters to himself as he continues to shudder and attempt to warm himself back up. "Where's that blasted firelizard when you need him."
[15:02] * Figure shines a light down at the
[15:02] * Robert_Kepley looks around
[15:02] * Figure shines a light down at the group lighting their way up the steep embankment to street level
[15:02] * kingk gives his coat to hadin
[15:03] * Lkeas looks up and squints
[15:03] Lkeas: thanks for the light!
[15:03] Falerin: "I recommend getting up and out of there"
[15:03] * Hadin glances at it. "It's as soaked as mine, so what's the use of that lad?"
[15:03] * Jeice begins to walk up.
[15:03] kingk: i thought you were....
[15:03] * kingk shrugs
[15:03] Shock: What kingk?
[15:03] * Figure stands
[15:03] kingk: just thought itd help
[15:03] * Lkeas turns to Hadin
[15:03] * Shock follows
[15:03] kingk: dead...
[15:03] Lkeas: will you be alright climbing up the embankment?
[15:03] Jeice: Brr, I've got to get dry.
[15:03] Shock: Who are you talking about?
[15:03] * Avarie winces away from the light and then turns and peers toward the source.
[15:04] kingk: nevermind i guess it was a dream.
[15:04] * Hadin struggles to make his way up, given that his cane is now lost to the waters, and slips his laptop back into his drenched inner robe. Though that term was now useless.
[15:04] * LordBarrius starts climbing the embankment clumsily.
[15:04] Hadin: "I can manage, lass, if given time to.
[15:04] * Robert_Kepley follows
[15:04] Lkeas: alright, everybody up!
[15:05] David: "Worse..."
[15:05] * Avarie stumbles her way upward, somewhat hampered by the way her legs have started trembling.
[15:05] * kingk stands up and walks
[15:05] Jeice: Is there any kind of match and tember around here?
[15:05] * kingk leans over to lkeas
[15:05] * Robert_Kepley feels his hot, solid abs
[15:05] kingk: didnt falerin die....
[15:05] Shock: What?
[15:05] David: "The section of the river you chose between Manhattan and Brooklyn? Swimming beneath the brooklyn bridge is bound to get you in trouble"
[15:05] Shock: What about Falerin now?
[15:05] Shock: And no he is fi-
[15:05] Shock: oh..
[15:05] Shock: Allright.
[15:05] * Lkeas blinks a few times
[15:06] * Hadin manages to get up the embankment, with continued mutterings for fire, warmth, and something called Rikshi.
[15:06] kingk: nothing i just wanted to know if anybody ele saw the guy maybe dave ver here knows him
[15:06] Avarie: It wasn't by choice, believe me
[15:06] Lkeas: Manhattan? we're back in Manhattan?
[15:06] David: "Yes but only because you swam west"
[15:06] Shock: So Mahattan is where we are then...great
[15:06] David: "Otherwise you would been on the Brooklyn Water front after dark
[15:06] Robert_Kepley: Yes.....
[15:06] Shock: Ah.
[15:06] Lkeas: oh thank Lorithia, finally.
[15:06] Shock: And that is..
[15:06] * Avarie 's teeth chatter slightly.
[15:06] Shock: Bad?
[15:06] Jeice: At this point I don't care for our whereabouts, I want to get dry!
[15:06] kingk: that
[15:06] Shock: Wait..
[15:06] kingk: wouldnt be nice
[15:07] * Jeice continues to shiver.
[15:07] * Lkeas reaches the top of the embankment and heads towards the man holding the light
[15:07] Shock: Do we know a David?
[15:07] kingk: yes do you have a car for us to warm up near?
[15:07] *** maieo has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[15:07] Hadin: "Agreed, Jeice.  These old bones don't like quite a chill as that."
[15:07] * LordBarrius frowns. "We're back in Manhattan? I suppose it beats the void or Immertot."
[15:07] * RandalMoonash sneezes suddenly
[15:07] * Lkeas sticks out a hand, "Thank you for assisting us. I'm Lkeas.."
[15:07] * kingk nods with wide eyes
[15:07] Jeice: Your body may be old, but you aren't fire.
[15:07] * David takes her hand gently
[15:07] David: "David Viara"
[15:07] David: "Welcome to Manhattan"
[15:07] kingk: yea we appreciate it
[15:07] * kingk reaches out his hand
[15:07] Robert_Kepley: Thank you David
[15:08] * Lkeas shakes it tentatively...
[15:08] Lkeas: wait what?
[15:08] Jeice: Brrr...
[15:08] Lkeas: David Viara?
[15:08] David: "Thats right"
[15:08] kingk: what about it?
[15:08] Shock: What about it Lkeas?
[15:08] * Lkeas takes a step back hurriedly
[15:08] Lkeas: i...
[15:08] Shock: Whats wrong?
[15:08] David: "My parents had something for Michaelangelos statue I think"
[15:08] * Hadin harumphs, then gets about to greeting the man. "I suppose you should be thanked...but I'm not the type to."
[15:08] Lkeas: i'm sorry, forgive me
[15:08] * LordBarrius glances at Lkeas. "What's wrong?"
[15:08] Lkeas: your name just sounds familiar.
[15:08] Shock: Thanks David.
[15:09] David: "Small world syndrome"
[15:09] Lkeas: quite.
[15:09] *** maieo has joined #epic.
[15:09] * kingk asks "whats wrong?"
[15:09] David: "Well... Um... you seem rather wet"
[15:09] Hadin: "Very"
[15:09] * Jeice 's teeth are chattering.
[15:09] David: "And its supposed to drop below freezing tonight"
[15:09] * Avarie looks at Lkeas curiously
[15:09] RandalMoonash: What.. *sneezes* is it Lkeas?
[15:09] Shock: Ah
[15:09] * Robert_Kepley starts to shiver
[15:09] David: "My parents tell me I have to stop rescuing people"
[15:09] Lkeas: i don't suppose you might know where we could find a place to warm up?
[15:09] * kingk says in whisper
[15:09] Shock: Below freezing is nothing..
[15:09] Jeice: We could use a way to d-d-d-dry sir, i-if you'd be so kind.
[15:10] * Lkeas looks at the others
[15:10] Lkeas: sorry... it's nothing.
[15:10] David: "But what am I if not a guardian angel"
[15:10] * kingk disregards it and looks towards david
[15:10] Lkeas: ...
[15:10] Shock: Heh..Why are you all so botherd by the cold?
[15:10] David: "It will get me knifed eventually"
[15:10] Lkeas: i...
[15:10] Lkeas: angel?
[15:10] David: "But Yeah... My aparetment is just the other side of the Bowery"
[15:10] * Lkeas shakes her head
[15:10] * kingk whispers
[15:10] * Hadin narrows his eyes at the others, save Lkeas, for a moment. "Shelter, warmth...before my skin turns a deeper shade of blue? Its dark enough given how shot through with veins it is."
[15:10] * kingk whispers to lkeas
[15:10] kingk: isnt that a respelling of diviria? from thearchives?
[15:10] Lkeas: thank you for your kindness, David. it's most appreciated
[15:11] * Shock turns to Lkeas and whispers-Should we trust him? Its newyork afterall..
[15:11] * LordBarrius continues watching Lkeas. "She seems uncomfortable...." he mutters to himself.
[15:11] kingk: ....
[15:11] Jeice: Shock, I'm more susceptible to water, especially cold water, than most.
[15:11] * Lkeas looks at the others
[15:11] * Avarie does a small jog without moving forward, trying to get a little warmth out of the movement.
[15:11] * Hadin hobbles over unsteadily and puts a hand on each Shock's and kingk's shoulders before growling low at them.
[15:11] * David walks along the street rapidly coming eventually after several turns to a small brownstone
[15:11] Lkeas: he did help us just now..
[15:11] RandalMoonash: Who.. is he Lkeas?
[15:12] FemaleVoice: David is that you bubele?
[15:12] Lkeas: we shouldn't be too hasty to make judgments
[15:12] kingk: you need to stop drinking avarie
[15:12] * Lkeas follows after David
[15:12] * Jeice follows as well.
[15:12] * RandalMoonash clutches his head before following after Lkeas
[15:12] * LordBarrius shrugs and follows.
[15:12] * Shock follows..
[15:12] * Hadin makes his slow ponderous way after David, sure to be left behind if it weren't for the aid he just conscripted from kingk and Shock
[15:13] David: Yes Mrs. Gershon
[15:13] * Avarie peers at the others who are hesitating, considers, and then follows.
[15:13] FemaleVoice: You have more of your guests? You want I should send over some of my matzo ball soup?
[15:13] * David looks at the group
[15:13] David: "Hungry?"
[15:13] LordBarrius: A bit, yes....
[15:13] kingk: yes please
[15:13] Lkeas: starved, i'm sure, after the swim
[15:14] Robert_Kepley: Yeah
[15:14] kingk: hello mam
[15:14] David: "That would be Great Mrs. G"
[15:14] * kingk outstendes his hand
[15:14] FemaleVoice: Okay I will be down in 15 minutes
[15:14] David: "Thanks Mrs. G"
[15:14] Jeice: I just need heat, and to be dried.
[15:14] * RandalMoonash sneezes again
[15:14] * David takes out a key and opens the apartment door
[15:15] kingk: nobody likes shaking my hand anymore
[15:15] David: "Mrs. G. Is my Landlady"
[15:15] * kingk sniffs his palm
[15:15] RandalMoonash: Somethings... wrong.. here.
[15:15] kingk: guh...
[15:15] David: "Second Generation and pure Jewish"
[15:15] LordBarrius: Nice woman.
[15:15] * Hadin is indeed turning bluer by the moment, though he is struggling not to show weakness in his old bones...
[15:15] David: "An excellent cook too"
[15:15] kingk: i bet
[15:15] * Robert_Kepley nods
[15:15] * kingk then fades his smile and thinks "im not touching it"
[15:15] * RandalMoonash looks at Lkeas and whispers
[15:15] Shock: Cool..I need to sit down..
[15:15] * Lkeas puts an arm around Hadin
[15:15] RandalMoonash: "what do you know that youre not sharing?"
[15:16] Lkeas: we'd better get you inside
[15:16] * Shock kneels on the floor
[15:16] *** maieo has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[15:16] * Lkeas looks at Randal
[15:16] * Hadin nods in thanks to Lkeas and proceeds to hobble as best he can.
[15:16] Lkeas: just... a strange coincidence, is all...
[15:16] * Lkeas chuckles nervously
[15:16] Lkeas: an angel, heh.
[15:16] RandalMoonash: Who is he.
[15:16] Lkeas: i dont' see any wings...
[15:16] David: "I do not believe in coincidence"
[15:16] RandalMoonash: You know.
[15:16] kingk: yes (laughs) i saw a bit of a coincedence myself
[15:17] kingk: .....
[15:17] * Lkeas turns to David
[15:17] Lkeas: why not?
[15:17] *** maieo has joined #epic.
[15:17] Jeice: Please, if you have anykind of heater or fireplace, get it lit as high as it goes.  *shivers*
[15:17] * Hadin lets the others laugh while he focuses on warming up and drying off.
[15:17] >Ambiance<: David's appartment is old very but comfortable. Likely a product of rent control and it appears that David has lived within for ages. The couch is worn brown Upholstery
[15:17] * Avarie now appears to be shaking all over. Over the audible chattering of her teeth, she mutters, "I'm afraid I don't take the cold well."
[15:18] >Ambiance<: The nicest chair is a single overstuffed leather recliner near the radiator
[15:18] kingk: ill sit here
[15:18] David: "You might want to sit there"
[15:18] * David gestures to hadin
[15:18] * LordBarrius decides to remain standing in silence rather than take a seat.
[15:18] * kingk crouches to the floor near the heater
[15:18] * RandalMoonash looks about for some sort of culture, books, anything
[15:18] * Lkeas edges towards the radiator but remains standing, looking about
[15:18] * Jeice sits on the floor near the radiator.
[15:18] Hadin: "Ye have a scrap cloth or something to that effect lad?  Leather tends not to like being wet without encha----er, without the proper conditioning."
[15:18] David: "The couch can be a bit... lumpy and after a swim in the east river I do not think that its a place for you to be"
[15:18] * kingk stands
[15:19] Shock: Randal, just relax.
[15:19] kingk: ah thats better
[15:19] David: "Its been fabric protected"
[15:19] RandalMoonash: N...n..o
[15:19] Robert_Kepley: Where is a good place to sit?
[15:19] David: "Do not worry about my chair.... it will survive"
[15:19] David: "It has surivived worse"
[15:19] Shock: Whats wrong?
[15:19] David: "Worry about yourself"
[15:19] Jeice: How hot do you have this radiator David?
[15:19] Jeice: I'm tempted to sit on it.
[15:19] Lkeas: ourselves? why should we be worried?
[15:19] David: "You would get burned"
[15:19] * Hadin hobbles over to stand by the chair, looks at David again, then collapses into it with an exasperated huff and immediately starts to snooze.
[15:19] * Avarie stands as close to the radiator as she can and rubs her hands rapidly up and down her arms.
[15:19] Shock: Exsacty..
[15:19] David: "This building is always hot even in the dead of winter"
[15:20] kingk: you should get them blankets
[15:20] Shock: Im starting too fell it, thats for sure.
[15:20] kingk: if you can please
[15:20] Avarie: Thank the powers that be for that.
[15:21] * RandalMoonash continues looking around for some sign of cultures
[15:21] >Ambiance<: enters the kitchen and you smell sulfur momentarily and a scratching sound
[15:21] Robert_Kepley: What was that?
[15:21] kingk: whats that?
[15:21] * Jeice gets as close to the radiator as an ordinary human could bear.
[15:21] * David leaves the kitchen and comes back with several wool army blankets
[15:21] * LordBarrius shrugs, staying quiet.
[15:21] Shock: doesnt smell that bad you know..
[15:21] Shock: I kinda like it
[15:21] * David puts them down on the ottoman
[15:21] * Shock smiles
[15:21] kingk: uh hey did you hear that?
[15:22] Shock: Yeah.
[15:22] David: "Hear what?"
[15:22] * kingk whispers to randal?
[15:22] Shock: Nothing to worry about I would guess.
[15:22] * Hadin rouses at the scent of sulpher, thinking immediately that a vial must have shattered...and finds himself still wet and cold, and in David's apartment.
[15:22] * Avarie watches her companions and their aparent "hero," but she is obviously more concerned about getting warm.
[15:22] Hadin: "Hear?  Wha?  What about that scent..."
[15:22] * Lkeas looks towards the kitchen curiously
[15:22] kingk: uh nothing
[15:22] David: "
[15:22] David: "The only thing I smell is the matchstick I used to light the stove"
[15:22] kingk: sorry my ears play tricks sometimes
[15:22] * RandalMoonash follows Lkeas looking over there
[15:23] *** Crash has joined #epic.
[15:23] Lkeas: ah. are you much of a cook, David?
[15:23] kingk: wait
[15:24] * Avarie reaches for a blanket and wraps it around herself with a contented sigh. She sinks into a sitting position with her knees to her chest and only her face visible from under the material.
[15:24] * Hadin settles down in the chair again, snatches a blanket, and frowns..."What I wouldn't give to be home...then I'd have known exactly what it was...so, a matchstick you say? Hmph, smelled like more Sulfur was used than necessary..."
[15:24] David: "The only thing I smell is the matchstick I used to light the stove"
[15:24] David: "The Teapot should be up soon"
[15:24] David: "I am afraid I am out of Coffee"
[15:24] *** Lkeas_ is now known as Lkeas.
[15:24] Robert_Kepley: It's okay....
[15:25] David: "I was going to run to Starbucks in the morning to get a pound of columbian"
[15:25] kingk: thats okay ill just have some food later
[15:25] David: "But I have Cocoa and Tea of several varieties"
[15:25] kingk: i hope your srtill talking about coffee....
[15:25] * David laughs
[15:25] David: "Your accent...."
[15:25] David: "Your local... but not quite right.... Jersey or Upstate?"
[15:25] RandalMoonash: And yours... who are you. What are you rather...
[15:26] kingk: yea
[15:26] kingk: well mid jersey
[15:26] * Hadin nestles into the blanket and chair, starting to feel comforting warmth finally flow into his old bones."
[15:26] kingk: moved there a few years back
[15:26] *** Shock has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[15:26] David: "Some of your firends though.. I dunno about"
[15:26] * Avarie perks up. "Hot chocolate?"
[15:26] David: "They are definitely not from arround here"
[15:26] Lkeas: i travel a lot.
[15:26] * RandalMoonash looks over at david, pulling out the soaked laptop, placing it on the desk
[15:26] RandalMoonash: You'd be surprised.
[15:26] David: "Yes'mam you want some?"
[15:27] * Lkeas looks over at Randal
[15:27] *** Shock has joined #epic.
[15:27] Lkeas: do you think it'll still work?
[15:27] * RandalMoonash removes his trenchcoat, placing it over a chair by the radiator to dry
[15:27] kingk: uh yea sure why not
[15:27] * Hadin looks over to Randal sleepily..."Lad, if yer going to tinker...mind looking at them both?" Moving about under the blanket, the tip of his laptop peeks out from it, equally soaked.
[15:27] *** Mode change "+vvv Crash Lkeas maieo" for channel #epic by Falerin.

[15:28] RandalMoonash: they wont work when wet.
[15:28] Shock: But lets see if "it" has power now.
[15:28] Jeice: This is not a good first impression for a place, not this cold weather and the river.  I don't think I'll visit again any time soon.
[15:28] RandalMoonash: I wouldnt turn it on when its this soaked.
[15:28] Lkeas: hmm.
[15:29] Shock: allright..
[15:29] >Ambiance<: The apartment door open and a woman enters carrying an industrial sized crock pot
[15:29] * maieo appears and looks around for a place to sit
[15:29] Avarie: I would love some.
[15:29] Hadin: "Ye never know, with yours...then again, stranger things have happened."  Hadin yawns widely, beginning to nod off again.
[15:29] * LordBarrius frowns. "Don't play around with that thing now. I'd like to stay in one place for more than 5-10 minutes."
[15:29] kingk: oooh looks good
[15:29] >Ambiance<: Her dark hair is heavily curled either from a perm or natural curl
[15:29] * kingk snickers thinking "syke"
[15:29] Mrs.G: Here you are Bubele
[15:29] * Robert_Kepley thinks
[15:29] * Shock whispers too Moonash-Its an insterment of a god, its water proof
[15:30] David: "You are a God send Mrs. G"
[15:30] * kingk takes some onto his plate
[15:30] kingk: yea thanks
[15:30] Jeice: This radiator isn't as good as an old fashioned fire, but it is getting the job done.  I'm feeling much dryer.
[15:30] * kingk sits close to the radiator near the window
[15:31] * Hadin starts snoring lightly, though his pallor has yet to actually improve.
[15:31] Mrs.G: Me? A Godsend. It's nothing. I am just a busybody jewish landlady and grandmother.
[15:31] kingk: aw so modest
[15:31] David: "You are anything but JUST those things Mrs. Gershon"
[15:31] David: "Gonna Join us?"
[15:31] * kingk turns to the window pretends to sneez and dumps the food onto a stray cat
[15:31] * RandalMoonash looks about untrusting
[15:32] * Lkeas stands by Randal and watches the exchange between the two tenants
[15:32] *** Kraken is now known as Wes.
[15:32] * Avarie looks at the woman and the crockpot with interest, but doesn't move from her now cozy spot.
[15:32] * Shock joins David and gets some food
[15:32] Mrs.G: "No Love. Ralphie is taking me over to Edgars Cafe for "Tiramasu" he insists theres is better then even at Da Cira
[15:33] David: "Well thanks again Mrs. G. I will get the pot back to you in the morning"
[15:33] * RandalMoonash looks at lkeas
[15:33] RandalMoonash: What is it?
[15:33] Mrs.G: "I know you will Love you are a saint"
[15:33] * Mrs.G turns and leaves
[15:33] * maieo tugs on Lkeas' hand.
[15:33] Lkeas: hmm?
[15:33] maieo: ...hi.
[15:34] RandalMoonash: You know something lkeas.. it wont help if you keep it hidden.
[15:34] * David touches the crock pit
[15:34] David: "Already piping"
[15:34] David: "She had it ready before I even arrived"
[15:34] David: "I swear that woman is psychic"
[15:34] * Avarie mutters, with a small smile, "A heater, blankets, hot chocolate, hot food, and home. That computer did just fine by me this time."
[15:34] Shock: Heh.
[15:35] * LordBarrius glances back at David. "She's a very nice person....very kind indeed."
[15:35] Lkeas: well... i don't wish to be rude to our benefactor by making insinuations about his nature... after all... what's in a name?
[15:35] * Avarie sighs contentedly.
[15:35] * Lkeas chuckles
[15:35] Lkeas: don't get too comfortable, Avarie
[15:35] * David goes back into the kitchen and comes out with two large carafes
[15:35] * Robert_Kepley breathes deeply
[15:36] RandalMoonash: Why not Lkeas?...
[15:36] RandalMoonash: What do you know.
[15:36] David: "The black one is homemade mexican hot cocoa with cinnamon and creme"
[15:36] * Avarie glares at Lkeas. "Let me have my illusions for a while."
[15:36] * Hadin coughs in his sleep, a rattle on his breath that was not there in evidence before.
[15:36] David: "Two years of Cullinary school is nothing to put to waste...."
[15:36] kingk: how true how true
[15:37] * Robert_Kepley sits down
[15:37] * maieo tugs on Davids' hand. "any way i can help?"
[15:37] * Avarie glances up worriedly at Hadin. "That sounds like a respritory infection."
[15:37] David: "The right one is hot water. I prefer to make tea old school style and my Chado friends would spin in their grave but I figured fast was better. There are tea balls there and several varieties of loose leaf in the those canisters.
[15:38] David: "I also have lipton if you are really gauche but never tell my friends in the Village"
[15:38] David: "They would murder me for the affront"
[15:38] Lkeas: perhaps we should make some tea for Hadin
[15:38] Shock: Nice
[15:38] kingk: i agree with all the shaking over there
[15:39] David: "So we hardly know each other...."
[15:39] Shock: yes..
[15:39] David: "Lets get accquainted with some quid pro quo yes?"
[15:39] Robert_Kepley: Sure
[15:39] Shock: Allright.
[15:39] * Hadin coughs again, the rattle just as pronounced as before, but not sounding like it is getting any worse.
[15:39] * LordBarrius grins a bit. "I suppose."
[15:39] * maieo backs away and crouches behind Lkeas and Randal
[15:39] David: "I knew you swam in the East river tonight so I am at an advantage"
[15:39] kingk: lets
[15:39] David: "So you can go first"
[15:40] kingk: where do come from?
[15:40] * RandalMoonash looks about
[15:40] * Avarie stands and shuffles over, careful to keep the blanket about her. A hand emerges from the folds in order to retrieve a cup. With some tricky manuevering, she manages to fill it with hot chocolate.
[15:40] David: "I was born on a ship. But I have been raised my whole life in New York"
[15:41] kingk: ah thats great i havwe family around these parts
[15:41] David: "What are your favorite colors"
[15:41] Shock: Blue
[15:41] Shock: wait..
[15:41] Shock: no green. I likem both
[15:41] kingk: i prefeer red and black
[15:41] Jeice: Mine is orange, like the glow of a soft fire.
[15:41] LordBarrius: Black is my preference.
[15:41] * Lkeas looks over at David
[15:41] * Avarie shuffles back over to Hadin and kicks his foot gently.
[15:41] Avarie: "Wake up now, I want you to drink this."
[15:41] Lkeas: lavender
[15:41] RandalMoonash: LKeas what is it?
[15:41] maieo: ..purple and grey...
[15:42] * RandalMoonash looks up at david, and grins
[15:42] RandalMoonash: Red.
[15:42] * kingk looks at randal confused
[15:42] *** DawnFulcan has joined #epic.
[15:42] kingk: devious much
[15:42] * Hadin shrugs in his sleep, mutters something along the lines of "Get off Sho", and continues to sleep restlessly.
[15:42] * David smiles going into the kitchen and comes back with numerous bowls a mish mash of patterns and designs and a handful of spoons from several different flatware sets
[15:43] * Lkeas walks over to Hadin and shakes him gently
[15:43] Lkeas: you should drink something, Avarie brought you some hot cocoa
[15:43] * Avarie places the cup on the ground and gently shakes Hadin's shoulder with the one hand she's taken out of the blanket.
[15:43] * maieo finds a loose thread on her skirt and tugs at it to find some distraction
[15:43] * David opens the crock pot and the smell of roasted chicken and matzo balls fills the room
[15:43] * Hadin is shaken awaken, upon which he hacks violently. "Wha *cough* what?"
[15:44] * David frowns
[15:44] Avarie: "Come on, old man.  You need to get something warm in you."
[15:44] * David goes into the bedroom and comes out with a stethoscope
[15:44] kingk: whats wrong dave?
[15:44] David: it forward please
[15:44] David: sit forward please
[15:44] kingk: whats with the  stethoscope? oh i see
[15:44] * Hadin blinks tiredly, but complies...
[15:44] Shock: Allright.
[15:44] * RandalMoonash chuckles
[15:44] * David listens to Hadin's lungs
[15:44] * Avarie scoops up the cup and thrusts it into Hadin's hands.
[15:44] Avarie: "Drink that.  You're coughing up a storm and getting something inside you that's warm could help"
[15:44] *** maieo is now known as maieo|distracted.
[15:45] RandalMoonash: Lkeas.. you know something you arent sharing.
[15:45] David: "Take a deep breath in as deep as you can manage"
[15:45] kingk: is he ok?
[15:45] * LordBarrius gives Hadin a worried glance, then resumes watching Lkeas and Randal.
[15:45] Hadin: "Can't you let an old *cough* man sleep? *hack...wheeze*"
[15:45] Shock: Uh..
[15:45] Shock: why?
[15:45] David: "Are you Asthmatic?"
[15:45] Shock: I mean i love the smell, but that seems a bit...strange..
[15:45] * Avarie watches Hadin for a moment to make sure he complies, then waddles back over to the hot chocolate to preform the same one handed manuever as before.
[15:46] * Hadin tries to breathe deeply. "Asthmatic? If I understand *cough cough* what you mean...*hack* then no. Just old."
[15:46] Shock: how will that help him..
[15:46] * David frowns and sits back
[15:46] David: "Ok then"
[15:46] * David goes back into the bedroom and returns momentarily
[15:47] * Hadin shifts forwards some more to breathe in the heated vapors of the hot chocolate delicately perched in his hands as he attempts to suppress further coughing.
[15:47] * Avarie shuffles over to watch Hadin carefully, her hands gripping her cup through the blanket.
[15:47] David: "Could one of you help me"
[15:47] Shock: What with?
[15:47] Jeice: Sure.
[15:47] * LordBarrius moves over to help David out.
[15:47] RandalMoonash: With what?
[15:47] * Jeice gets up.
[15:47] kingk: with?
[15:47] David: "This old humidifier is heavy as hell"
[15:47] RandalMoonash: Sure..
[15:47] Shock: I suppose I could..oh..seem to have alot of help.
[15:47] kingk: oh yea sure
[15:47] * Shock sits back down.
[15:47] * kingk says knowing hes storng in upper body
[15:48] *** DawnFulcan is now known as Fulcan.
[15:48] RandalMoonash: I see.
[15:48] * David enters his bedroom which has a small bed with a feather bed cover atop. In the corner is an large rectangular humidifier
[15:48] * Hadin continues breathing the vapors that he can, hacking occassionally despite his efforts at suppression, but not drinking the liquid quite yet.
[15:48] David: Lets put this in the living room by the tv
[15:48] kingk: ok you grab that side ill ttake rthis one
[15:48] * kingk lifts
[15:48] * LordBarrius walks over to the humidifier and grabs a side.
[15:48] * RandalMoonash looks over at lkeas
[15:49] RandalMoonash: What is it you arent sharing...
[15:49] Jeice: Do you two have it alright?
[15:49] * Lkeas looks back at Randal
[15:49] >Ambiance<: the thing readily ways 200 lbs but its moved eadily enough
[15:49] * kingk begins to breath heavily
[15:49] David: *weighs
[15:49] * RandalMoonash looks over curiously
[15:49] kingk: holy hell!
[15:49] kingk: lets move it and quick
[15:49] * LordBarrius grimaces. "Little heavier than I thought it'd be, but I think we have it."
[15:49] RandalMoonash: Spill it Lkeas. That guy's not normal and you know something..
[15:49] * Lkeas grumbles
[15:49] *** Avarie_ has joined #epic.
[15:49] RandalMoonash: Theyre lifting an old humidifier... and two of them are barely doing the work..
[15:50] *** Avarie has signed off IRC (Killed (Falerin (ghost))).
[15:50] RandalMoonash: You were suprised at his name...

[15:50] Shock: No, No it does not.
[15:50] David: "Lets plug it in over here"
[15:50] RandalMoonash: No but a scratching sound matching it does...
[15:50] RandalMoonash: What is it you know.
[15:51] * kingk sets it down gently as possible
[15:51] * Wes knocks on the door of the apartment
[15:51] Lkeas: scratching a match?
[15:51] Shock: Its a matchbox
[15:51] Jeice: I think I'll stay at the other end of the room then.
[15:51] David: "Warm moist air with a bit of oil of methol and lavender will help things emensely"
[15:51] * LordBarrius sets his side down as well.
[15:51] Shock: the scratch
[15:51] * Hadin keeps hacking, giving up on suppression as his ribs feel sore from the effort, and takes small sips from the mug of hot chocolate.
[15:51] kingk: david youre skilled in alot of trades
[15:51] Lkeas: listen, i already apologized for my behavior, i tend to get in trouble when i jump to conclusions
[15:51] * Jeice goes to the opposite end of the room as the humidifier.
[15:52] David: Ok then. I guess its your turn to ask me?
[15:52] * RandalMoonash glares at Lkeas
[15:52] Jeice: David, are you a doctor?
[15:52] Shock: What do you do for a job rather.

[15:52] David: "Thats two questions"
[15:52] * Avarie sinks down to sit beside Hadin's chair, watching him carefully.
[15:52] RandalMoonash: Youre not from around here.
[15:52] Shock: Really?
[15:52] Jeice: Ah, I thought you had medical history.
[15:52] Hadin: "Thanks lad...I was thinking similar..."
[15:52] David: "King but I will answer anyway"
[15:52] kingk: sorry
[15:52] Shock: I think he is a guy named David.
[15:53] kingk: ill take the next
[15:53] * Robert_Kepley looks at Lkeas
[15:53] * Wes pounds on the door
[15:53] David: "I am a Corporate Wizard for United Thamaturgy LLC"
[15:53] Lkeas: you're a what now?
[15:53] RandalMoonash: LLC?
[15:53] * Lkeas looks at the door
[15:53] kingk: um excuse me?
[15:53] RandalMoonash: Thaumaturgy.. the study of magic.
[15:53] Lkeas: not to be rude, David, but do you mind if i answer it?
[15:53] Shock: Ah.
[15:53] kingk: was that joke?
[15:53] Shock: wait.
[15:53] David: "I work in Magical Research and what not"
[15:53] Shock: really?
[15:53] David: "Oh go ahead"
[15:53] Shock: Oh..
[15:53] kingk: sorry another question
[15:53] Shock: I see.
[15:53] David: "I did not even hear"
[15:54] * Lkeas walks over to the door and pulls it open abruptly
[15:54] Jeice: Magic eh?  Hm.
[15:54] Avarie: "Oh dear.  We're in one of those alternates."
[15:54] RandalMoonash: But there is little magic on earth...
[15:54] Wes: "hey Lkeas!"
[15:54] Shock: Dont think we are..
[15:54] Lkeas: Wes?
[15:54] Lkeas: or Kraken?
[15:54] Shock: Randal, you knew about magic as well.
[15:54] * Lkeas shakes her head
[15:54] Shock: Your dad studied it.
[15:54] David: "Pardon"
[15:54] RandalMoonash: Ive learned a bit.
[15:54] * David looks genuinely confused
[15:54] * Robert_Kepley raises his eyebrow
[15:54] RandalMoonash: Yeah...
[15:55] kingk: he was joking you guys.....
[15:55] RandalMoonash: But that was a long time ago.
[15:55] * maieo walks over to Lkeas. "Just kick him out."
[15:55] David: Considering how you arrived?
[15:55] Shock: Oh..
[15:55] Avarie: "But it's such a nice alternate."
[15:55] David: That you think magic is rare or strange seems odd.
[15:55] * Wes walks in "its Wes"
[15:55] * Avarie snuggles deeper into her blanket.
[15:55] * Lkeas looks back at maieo
[15:55] Lkeas: no, it's alright, i know this one
[15:55] kingk: ohno just a little joke here and there we like to share
[15:55] RandalMoonash: It is when in New york.
[15:55] RandalMoonash: I should know.
[15:55] Jeice: So I could have used some to dry myself?!  You've got to be kidding me!
[15:55] Shock: Its not..just..limited to an exstrem i thought?
[15:55] Wes: "wheres the laptop?"
[15:55] * Robert_Kepley sneezes hard
[15:55] David: "Another friend from whatever world you came from?"
[15:56] Lkeas: i think you'll find the laptop is with another user at the moment
[15:56] Shock: So you know about other worlds..
[15:56] * maieo hands Robert_Kepley a hankerchief
[15:56] David: "Of course"
[15:56] David: "I work in Magical Research"
[15:56] Shock: Guess you dident buy the Sail Boat story then...heh..
[15:56] Wes: "i want it back i put it to best use"
[15:56] * Jeice sighs and shakes his head.
[15:56] Jeice: So how much magic is safe to use here?
[15:56] David: "I saw you appear out of nowhere and fall into the river when I was taking my Jog"
[15:56] David: "Why do you think I was there to rescue you"
[15:57] kingk: ah so you knew?
[15:57] Shock: No idea, but i want to go see... one sec.
[15:57] * kingk chuckles
[15:57] Lkeas: is magic commonplace in this part of Manhattan? strange..
[15:57] * Shock steps out the front door a bit
[15:57] * RandalMoonash retrieves the laptop and puts it ther
[15:57] Robert_Kepley: Thanks
[15:57] kingk: we can be so foolish at times
[15:57] RandalMoonash: You had an idea.
[15:57] David: "In this part of manhattan?"
[15:57] RandalMoonash: It is not.
[15:57] * Robert_Kepley takes the hankerchief
[15:57] David: "Magic is commonplace everywhere in manhattan"
[15:57] RandalMoonash: Not in ANY place of new york...
[15:57] Lkeas: or i guess i should say this version of Manhattan...
[15:57] Jeice: Are you serious?
[15:57] kingk: what planet is this again?
[15:57] David: "Its no different then any other city on the East Coast really"
[15:57] RandalMoonash: Not at a tangible level.
[15:58] * Shock snaps his fingers, produceing a spark of flame, then then turns to ice and stubs his bad legs toe
[15:58] Wes: "hey can i have the laptop back?"
[15:58] Shock: Ow...
[15:58] Jeice: I could have dried myself back at the river!
[15:58] kingk: um....i dont think i took that cousre at monmouth U...
[15:58] * Avarie watches the newcomer distrustfully, as if he might pose a direct threat to her current cozy location.
[15:58] * Shock stumbles back inside
[15:58] David: "You are not licensed though"
[15:58] Shock: Still not the right level of magic..and i keep saying the last time too.
[15:58] Wes: "i am one of the users"
[15:58] David: "I would be careful or the Police will be banging down on my door"
[15:58] Shock: Oh..
[15:58] Jeice: Liscensed?  You need a liscense?
[15:58] Shock: Ok im sorry.
[15:59] Jeice: Hm, how easy is it to get one?
[15:59] Wes: "im one of the laptops user"
[15:59] Shock: Just wanted to see.
[15:59] Jeice: It would make things much easier.
[15:59] David: You are a graduate of Monmouth? Really?
[15:59] kingk: yes
[15:59] kingk: you know of it?
[15:59] Shock: Of what now?
[15:59] kingk: Monmouth University
[15:59] David: My old roommate Vladimir was a grad of Monomouth. A vampire from back 20 generations or so.
[15:59] David: Good guy
[15:59] kingk: i was hoping to go to rutgers
[16:00] kingk: great game the other day
[16:00] * Lkeas chuckles

[16:00] kingk: then again he always was a night pweson
[16:00] RandalMoonash: "where are you from?"
[16:00] * Hadin rustles from the chair, deciding to pipe up. "Er...David, lad, what of Artifice?"
[16:00] Wes: "man i missed so much.."
[16:00] Shock: Wounder if Matthew is here..
[16:01] Jeice: This is all very interesting, but I'm a bit more interested in how i can legally use my magic.  Ah, i suppose there are more important things at the moment.
[16:01] * maieo tugs on Lkeas' sleeve, a little confused child. "There are vampires here? i don't like those.
[16:01] * RandalMoonash tucks the laptop into his now dry trenchoat
[16:01] * Wes sighs "lkeas what happend after we went into the portal that matthew made i can remember that but the rest is a blank"
[16:01] RandalMoonash: Youre not from this world, David, are you.
[16:01] David: "Yes"
[16:01] * Lkeas looks over at maieo
[16:01] Lkeas: not all vampires are bad..
[16:01] David: "You are very peculiar"
[16:01] * Robert_Kepley looks at David
[16:01] kingk: um were the ones who arent i think....
[16:02] RandalMoonash: "where are you really from...?"
[16:02] maieo: They still scare me...at night...when the monsters come...
[16:02] David: "I told you Manhattan"
[16:02] * Lkeas looks at Randal wearily
[16:02] kingk: randal stop he let us in his home
[16:02] kingk: show respect
[16:02] Wes: "may i see the laptop please"
[16:02] * kingk leans over and whispers
[16:02] kingk: for now....
[16:02] Lkeas: listen, Randal's just suspicious because i thought David's name was similar to someone else i know
[16:02] Computer: Power Fully Restored
[16:02] kingk: yes
[16:02] kingk: i know
[16:02] * Hadin coughs a few times, finishes draining the now luke-warm cocoa, and sits up despite the slight strain in his chest.
[16:02] Shock: Yes!
[16:02] Shock: It worked!
[16:03] Shock: I knew it!
[16:03] Shock: er
[16:03] * LordBarrius whips his head around at the sound of the computer's notice.
[16:03] Shock: wait?
[16:03] Shock: what?
[16:03] Shock: When you..
[16:03] Shock: give it back to Randal for a second..
[16:03] Wes: "login Eric
[16:03] * Avarie actually growls at the computer.
[16:03] Shock: Did it need to be here to charge, or need a new user..
[16:03] Wes: "im an old user"
[16:03] Shock: Here as in a differnt realm
[16:04] * Hadin pulls out his laptop, and checks if it is dry enough to evaluate operational status
[16:04] * RandalMoonash taps the laptop
[16:04] RandalMoonash: Sorry, wes, its in my coat.
[16:04] Shock: So..
[16:04] Shock: It worked changeing realms?
[16:04] >Ambiance<: Hadin's laptop clearly has water in the LED
[16:05] * Avarie hugs her cup to her chest. "Keep that thing away from me and my hot chocolate!"
[16:05] RandalMoonash: And I *don't* plan on using it quite yet.
[16:05] Shock: We were cut of from...er..him..
[16:05] * Hadin coughs again, then puts his laptop away in his almost dry robes. "David...is there a 'license' on practicing Artifice?"
[16:05] * Wes walks over to randal and takes the laptop "now you dont"
[16:05] Shock: Wes!
[16:05] Shock: What are you doing?
[16:05] kingk: just get out
[16:05] * Lkeas sighs
[16:05] * maieo frowns at Wes
[16:05] David: "Depends on the extent. Basic clockwork no. Geomancy yes"
[16:05] * RandalMoonash slams his fist into Wes's face, taking it back
[16:05] kingk: how old is he again?
[16:05] RandalMoonash: Do... not touch that.
[16:06] * LordBarrius rolls his eyes at the spectacle.
[16:06] * kingk pushes wes out the door and lockes it
[16:06] maieo: i suggested you kick him out, lkeas...
[16:06] David: "I will not tolerate violence in my home"
[16:06] * RandalMoonash shakes, calming down, placing it within the straps in his coat once more
[16:06] * Hadin 's expression brightens slightly. "Clockwork is allowed, ye say?"
[16:06] Shock: ehh
[16:06] kingk: standout there until you learn how to be nice
[16:06] RandalMoonash: "And I will not tolerate theivery."
[16:06] Shock: Sorry David...
[16:06] * Lkeas throws her hands in the air helplessly
[16:06] * Avarie scoots backwards, away from the the two arguing individuals.
[16:06] * David gestures at Randal who vanishes
[16:06] Lkeas: can't we all just sit down and have some tea?
[16:06] RandalMoonash: "Much less from someone irresponsible."
[16:06] * Wes sighs "David may i kick down the door?"
[16:06] * Randal appears outside on the street
[16:06] * David gestures at Wes
[16:06] Shock: uhh..
[16:07] * maieo takes two mugs and looks at Lkeas
[16:07] * Avarie 's eyes widen in surprise.
[16:07] maieo: what kind?
[16:07] * kingk sighs wondering if randals ok
[16:07] * Wes Appears outside on the street
[16:07] RandalMoonash: Sonofa...
[16:07] kingk: where is he
[16:07] RandalMoonash: Heh..
[16:07] RandalMoonash: Computer...
[16:07] * David opens the window
[16:07] RandalMoonash: Tell me who that man is.
[16:07] David: "Take it outside"
[16:07] David: "
[16:07] Wes: "i dont want to fight i want to use the laptop!"
[16:07] kingk: lol and a jester among other things
[16:07] Computer: Connecting to local resources
[16:07] kingk: i should call you RM
[16:07] * Hadin harumphs. "Well, that certainly works...well done, lad. Now then...do ye have any tools for a Clockwork Artificer by chance?"
[16:07] * Avarie looks at David with approval and admiration, a small smile on her face.
[16:07] David: "At work"
[16:08] David: "I do not take work home tho"
[16:08] * LordBarrius grins. "Nice trick."
[16:08] Hadin: "Alas...hopes are crushed yet again."
[16:08] * maieo nudges Lkeas with two mugs in hand. "Do you still want some tea?"
[16:08] * Lkeas takes a mug from maieo
[16:08] Lkeas: thanks.
[16:08] * Lkeas opens one of the canisters and pours some loose leaf into a tea ball, then soaks it in hot water
[16:08] RandalMoonash: Computer, please identify that man, and where we are, exactly.
[16:09] kingk: well david id love to know why you decided to help us
[16:09] * Wes sighs "Login Eric"
[16:09] Shock: Its not going too.
[16:09] kingk: or is that just your nature
[16:09] RandalMoonash: Eric, whoever you are, go away. The laptop is also used by me, and I do NOT appreciate that you just wrest it away.
[16:09] Computer: User has been identified as David Viara, an employee of United Thamaturgy Limited Liability Corproration. User is a Class 1 Theurge, a Class 2 Elenmentalist and a Class 1 Enchanter
[16:09] * Hadin sits up in the chair, wraps the blanket around him in a makeshift cloak style, and hobbles to his feet.
[16:10] RandalMoonash: Identify David Viara...
[16:10] Shock: Wow..
[16:10] kingk: hm
[16:10] kingk: sounds ok to me
[16:10] RandalMoonash: I want to know more about this man..
[16:10] Shock: Whats a Theurge?
[16:10] * Lkeas keeps an ear by the window to listen to Randal while looking back at David
[16:10] Computer: Specify Line of Inquiry
[16:10] * RandalMoonash continues to head up the street
[16:10] Lkeas: David, do you travel among realms much?
[16:10] Hadin: "One last question, David...might you have something to serve as a cane?  Mine is now at the bottom of that lake...and I've not the means to recall it.  Age was not kind."
[16:10] RandalMoonash: David Viara, other identities.
[16:11] * David gestures and then frowns with pain as a ornate walking stick appears from thin air
[16:11] * maieo takes some of the tea balls out of the container and pours piping hot water on top while watching the activities.
[16:11] Computer: None Knonw
[16:11] Computer: None Known
[16:11] Shock: Randal, just relax
[16:11] RandalMoonash: I see... where are we?
[16:11] * Avarie 's contented smile turns to one of concern. "David, are you all right?"
[16:12] David: Manhattan, New York
[16:12] Computer: Manhattan, New York
[16:12] * Wes walks up to Davids apartment door "david unlock the door!"
[16:12] RandalMoonash: Computer, what realm.?
[16:12] Shock: uhh...
[16:12] kingk: whats wrong with you?
[16:12] kingk: david?
[16:12] Hadin: "That was...marvelous."  He catches the walking stick deftly.  "You, didn't have to strain yourself so on my behalf, however.  Though I am honored that you would."
[16:12] RandalMoonash: "the New York I know shouldnt have magic..."
[16:12] Computer: Reality #222 according to the ThirdCity Parallel Reality Scale
[16:13] kingk: isnt that...
[16:13] Computer: This reality is not named independently. And locals call it Terra
[16:13] RandalMoonash: 222....
[16:13] kingk: ours?
[16:13] Computer: This reality is high magic, high technology
[16:13] Jeice: A strain.  So if I use any it should have very little potency.
[16:13] Computer: This reality has a very low gauntlet rating but has a magical detection grid
[16:13] kingk: do yuo practice magiscience here david?
[16:13] Computer: This reality has zero paradox
[16:13] RandalMoonash: "I understand"
[16:14] Wes: "DAVID UNLOCK THE DOOR!"
[16:14] * Lkeas calls down the Randal, "If you understand, can you fill me in?"
[16:14] David: "Magiscience?"
[16:14] RandalMoonash: "were in an alternate version of Terra... one with high magic known as 222... "
[16:14] David: "Magic is just another science yes..."
[16:14] kingk: hm nevermind
[16:14] David: "But I do not know that I would call it magiscience"
[16:14] Lkeas: ah i see, so... not the Terra i'm from then.
[16:15] *** Avarie has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[16:15] David: "That implies that there is a difference between magic and other sciences"
[16:15] * Lkeas pulls her head back inside
[16:15] * Hadin leans on the cane, marveled at its internal strength just from its feel. "Amazing work..." he mutters silently.
[16:15] RandalMoonash: "Not the one I'm from either"
[16:15] kingk: ah
[16:15] * Wes pounds on the door "DAVID!"
[16:15] *** Avarie has joined #epic.
[16:15] * David gestures and Wes reappears on the street
[16:15] * maieo whispers to Lkeas. - "what's wrong?"
[16:15] * Lkeas looks at maieo
[16:15] * Wes growls
[16:15] * RandalMoonash heads up and knocks on the door
[16:15] Lkeas: i'm not sure...
[16:16] Jeice: The times I've heard it used were when it was magic empowered technology.  Different places have different meanings I guess.
[16:16] maieo: will there be something wrong when Randal comes back?
[16:16] Shock: hmm..
[16:16] * LordBarrius finally decides to stop observing. "You regard magic as a science?" he asks.
[16:16] * David opens the door
[16:16] RandalMoonash: "Sorry.. I thought we were in our Terra... this realm travelling is confusing..
[16:16] *** Robert_Kepley has signed off IRC (Broken pipe).
[16:16] *** punisher has joined #epic.
[16:16] RandalMoonash: Magic is a science... at least here it is.
[16:16] Jeice: Magic as a science is not surprising LordBarrius.
[16:16] RandalMoonash: This place is different from my New york..
[16:17] David: "You are from a magic low world. But somehow you have gotten in your hands a peice of high magic"
[16:17] *** maieo has left #epic.
[16:17] * Hadin hobbles over to stand next to Lkeas, the cane aiding him quite well.
[16:17] RandalMoonash: Its apparently a piece of a god's mind too.
[16:17] Lkeas: something like that.
[16:17] David: "A gods...:
[16:17] David: "
[16:17] * Wes walks after Randal "it was made by Matthew"
[16:17] David: "May I see the machine?"
[16:17] Wes: "the laptop"
[16:17] * LordBarrius shrugs. "Indeed, though magic tends to be less easy to control than other sciences....at least in my realm."
[16:17] *** Robert_Kepley has joined #epic.
[16:17] * Lkeas looks at Randal
[16:17] RandalMoonash: "I'm sorry... I really dont trust people with it.
[16:18] *** kingk has signed off IRC (Killed (Falerin (ghost))).
[16:18] Lkeas: thought so
[16:18] RandalMoonash: "My offhand comments have caused us endless trouble"
[16:18] *** Mode change "+v punisher" for channel #epic by Falerin.
[16:18] David: I see
[16:18] * Lkeas gazes at David
[16:18] Wes: "he got us to the town of Manhatten in montana i dont trust HIM with it"
[16:18] *** Mode change "+vv Avarie Robert_Kepley" for channel #epic by Falerin.
[16:18] Lkeas: you said you did not believe in coincidence
[16:18] * Hadin nods, slightly in approval, mostly because of the wise display of caution.
[16:18] Shock: uhh..
[16:18] RandalMoonash: "That was not me."
[16:18] Shock: that was kinda my fualt
[16:18] Shock: i was rushing us all
[16:18] *** punisher is now known as kingk.
[16:18] Lkeas: that was Geno, actually
[16:18] Wes: "someone i cant remember anything"
[16:18] Lkeas: now can we cease bickering please?
[16:18] Shock: But it was said by the user.
[16:18] Shock: Not by me.
[16:19] * Robert_Kepley rubs his head
[16:19] David: "I think maybe I made a mistake in helping you"
[16:19] kingk: yes can we?
[16:19] Avarie: "I don't see the reason we just can't leave the laptop alone now."
[16:19] Shock: Huh?
[16:19] * David goes over to the crock pot and pours himself a bowl of Chicken Matzo soup
[16:19] kingk: no please im very greatful
[16:19] Shock: what do you mean David?
[16:19] Jeice: If I was told right, Geno got you out of a spot of trouble.  Getting away from danger was more important than specifics.
[16:19] RandalMoonash: "That is what I wish we could do"
[16:19] Wes: "my heads messed up since we entered that portal of matthews i can remember some parts of what happend before that"
[16:19] * Lkeas looks at Shock
[16:19] Hadin: "Oh?  I really don't see why your helping us is a problem, David."
[16:19] Shock: What?
[16:19] Jeice: Is there a problem David?
[16:20] Lkeas: if you rescued a groupf of people who proceeded to argue and fight in your home, wouldn't you be a bit hesitant to help them again?
[16:20] RandalMoonash: "If theres some way we can repay your kindness, i apologize for my mistrust... I had a bad feeling"
[16:20] Shock: err
[16:20] David: "The last time I had a situation like this I had been rescuing a pack of feral werewolves from the human sumpremacists"
[16:20] David: "Lots of people got hurt"
[16:20] Shock: uhh
[16:20] Lkeas: a situation?
[16:20] * Avarie can be seen agreeing with Lkeas. "I know I wouldn't be so considerate."
[16:20] Shock: and this is that bad?
[16:20] kingk: well trust that we are not viscous nor animalistic in nature
[16:20] * RandalMoonash chuckles
[16:20] David: "You are not human then?"
[16:21] Shock: no
[16:21] Avarie: "That must be quite a story."
[16:21] kingk: i apologize on their behalf
[16:21] Shock: we are.
[16:21] David: "You all appear human to me"
[16:21] Shock: I thought i was..
[16:21] kingk: oh no we are
[16:21] Jeice: I'm no wolf.
[16:21] RandalMoonash: "We mean no harm to you or anyone else"
[16:21] Hadin: "Fact is, we can be quite pleasant company if it were not for certain predispositions."
[16:21] David: "It was the Humans that were the problem"
[16:21] kingk: just a little humor
[16:21] Jeice: Ah.
[16:21] Shock: And if you get used to the yelling.
[16:21] kingk: and what are if not human?
[16:21] RandalMoonash: "Well, we wish no one, nor anything, any harm"
[16:21] * Robert_Kepley collapses
[16:21] David: "The werewolves were just a bunch of confused teenagers just after the first change"
[16:21] * Avarie appears a little sceptical. "Well some of us can be pleasent."
[16:21] Shock: Heh
[16:21] kingk: ah too bad
[16:22] Wes: "robert?you okay?"
[16:22] kingk: mustve been scared and hungry
[16:22] RandalMoonash: "i'm sorry about that david.. if theres any way we can help you.. repay you..."
[16:22] Robert_Kepley: Yes.... I'm fine.....
[16:22] Lkeas: yes... we are rather confused and indecisive, aren't we
[16:22] Jeice: Since you don't seem like you'll freak out, or doubt me, I suppose It would be fine to say.
[16:22] * Avarie hurries to Robert, worridly.
[16:22] David: "You also have something very dark within...."
[16:22] Jeice: I'm neither werewolf, nor human.  I have a werewolf friend actually.
[16:22] LordBarrius: We don't mean to be so much trouble....
[16:22] Shock: Let him see the Laptop, he obviously wants to.
[16:22] Lkeas: ah, so you see it too.
[16:22] Jeice: Dark?
[16:22] David: "I detected it nearly immediately but I avoided comment because it is not you"
[16:22] Lkeas: you are not the first to recognize the beast we carry
[16:23] kingk: ....
[16:23] Shock: what?
[16:23] Hadin: "Ah, yes, it all comes back to the beast..."
[16:23] David: "Rather it is a parasite that dwells within you.... and how can I blame you for it"
[16:23] kingk: please dont tell me......
[16:23] Jeice: Something, dark?
[16:23] David: "But you are all clearly involved in some sort of.... wide scale plot"
[16:23] Lkeas: we are having trouble ridding ourselves of the beast
[16:23] RandalMoonash: "who is it in?"
[16:23] RandalMoonash: "It is that which hunts us... the beast.."
[16:23] Shock: Is there a way to kill it then? that doesnt sound very good at all.
[16:23] * Robert_Kepley rolls over on his back
[16:23] * Avarie looks up at David from examining Robert. Fear shines in her eyes and she trembles.
[16:24] kingk: i thought it was just myth but its real in this world?
[16:24] David: "I fear I am getting in way to far over my head"
[16:24] Lkeas: David, you said you did not believe in coincidence
[16:24] Lkeas: i was going to let it slip..
[16:24] * David picks up a phone
[16:24] Hadin: "A way to be rid of it would be appreciated...but failing that, any ideas you might have to contain it would be immensely gracious of you."
[16:24] David: "Hold on"
[16:24] Lkeas: ...
[16:24] kingk: lkeas....i dont think-
[16:24] David: "I am calling my friend over"
[16:24] Shock: uh. Who is?
[16:24] RandalMoonash: "David.. "
[16:24] David: "Gil its Dave... can you stop by"
[16:24] Wes: "hey Lkeas do you know where Matthew is?"
[16:25] Jeice: A friend?
[16:25] * kingk takes the chance to talk to lkeas
[16:25] David: "Yeah immediately"
[16:25] Shock: He may not even be here..
[16:25] David: "yeah it is that sort of thing"
[16:25] Lkeas: Gil!
[16:25] kingk: (whispers) we need more info first
[16:25] Shock: uh..
[16:25] * Lkeas shakes her head
[16:25] David: "Yes I know what mom would say"
[16:25] Lkeas: way too weird to be a coincidence
[16:25] David: "Thanks"
[16:25] Shock: Allright..
[16:25] Wes: "lkeas do you know where matthew is?"
[16:25] kingk: whats his last name dave?
[16:25] * Robert_Kepley starts to shake
[16:25] * David slouches on the couch and begins eating his soup
[16:25] * Hadin sits crosslegged on the ground, resting his chin on the top of the cane.
[16:26] David: Viara
[16:26] David: He is my borther
[16:26] * Lkeas sits on the carpet
[16:26] kingk: ah your brother?
[16:26] kingk: oh isee
[16:26] Lkeas: David, have you heard of LORE?
[16:26] kingk: so what would you like us to do?
[16:26] RandalMoonash: Diviara...?
[16:26] * Jeice notices Lkeas' odd behaviour, and walks over.  "There have been many analogs you all have dealt with, correct?
[16:26] * David spills his soup shoot to his feet
[16:27] Lkeas: i... i'm sorry..
[16:27] David: "Not more of you..."
[16:27] * Avarie looks back to make sure Robert not suffering any ill effects, all signs of her previous good mood now gone.
[16:27] Lkeas: more of us?
[16:27] Shock: Huh?
[16:27] kingk: oh hell
[16:27] RandalMoonash: what?
[16:27] Jeice: Are you alright David?
[16:27] * Hadin sighs. "Speak long enough, and you are bound to say the wrong thing...alas...please explain what you mean by "more of you", David."
[16:27] Wes: "hes talking about our analogs"
[16:28] David: "And you are talking about mine"
[16:28] Jeice: Oh, you heard that?
[16:28] David: <End of Session>
