The Epic - Session LIV: Part 1

[18:04] Computer: It originates on Lore
[18:04] * Elenor was responding to Akiro.
[18:04] Kazuma: we all know what reality this is.
[18:04] Genoclysm: Unknown realities don't tend to turn out very well to my experience...
[18:04] LBB_LurkKing: Let's go, see, and drink ourselves drunk!
[18:04] Kazuma: um yeah...
[18:04] Elenor: Originates on Lore...
[18:04] *** Marrin has joined #darkabode.
[18:04] *** Mode change "+ao Marrin Marrin" for channel #darkabode by Abode.
[18:04] Elenor: Could be from Ryuusei.
[18:04] Kazuma: I say we use it
[18:04] * TaloToecan walks downstairs, wearing a decidedly more casual set of robes in his latest taste, with the younger Damsel linked arm-in-arm. He has a soft smile on his face and appears to be whispering something to her as his hearing picks up discussion of the Computer's message.
[18:04] Computer: But its message headers are mangled
[18:04] LBB_LurkKing: Er...if it originates on LORE, how is it from an unknown reality? Are you drunk?
[18:04] * Lkeas frowns deeper.  "It wouldn't be the first time Ryuusei trapped us.."
[18:04] LBB_LurkKing: If so, on what, and where can I get some?
[18:04] * Akiro He chuckled. "If it had been to my starship, it would've been a tight fit for anyone who tried to get in."
[18:04] *** Randal has joined #darkabode.
[18:04] Lkeas: Box, it sends us TO an unknown reality.
[18:05] *** Marrin has left #darkabode.
[18:05] * Randal wanders in from where he was sleeping
[18:05] Rimblade: "How can that be a bad thing?"
[18:05] LBB_LurkKing: Lkeas, your biggest problem is that you try to make these things make sense.
[18:05] Computer: If I might observe
[18:05] LBB_LurkKing: Just lie back and laugh. It's MUCH easier that way.
[18:05] * The elder Damsel glances about at the others gathered around, trying to gauge what they are thinking.
[18:05] Computer: Ryuusei can apparently cause us to apport without resorting to such spell craft
[18:05] Computer: He has done so repeatedly
[18:05] Kazuma: That he has
[18:05] Lkeas: This is true.
[18:05] Genoclysm: The spell is not dictated by the origin of the message.
[18:05] Rimblade: "An exceptional point, oh miracle modem!"
[18:05] * Randal yawns "wha.. ryuusei?"
[18:05] Kazuma: so, no idea who it's from...
[18:05] Elenor: Point.
[18:05] Genoclysm: Box
[18:06] * Akiro Chuckles softly then spoke. "If you were to be taken to my ship...only three person can fit in it. Perhaps four."
[18:06] * Elenor looks at Akiro. "I very highly doubt it's to any ship of yours."
[18:06] Lkeas: Well, one way to find out... shall we?

[18:06] Fiona: "Well... Even if it's a trap, we kinda have to trigger it, huh?
[18:07] * Akiro He chuckled then nodded. "Let me see..." For a moment he blanked...then he looked to Elenor. "Should be off now. My link that is."
[18:07] Elenor: I have no clue what you're talking about, but sounds good.
[18:07] Kazuma: I think we've defied traps enough to know what we're doing
[18:07] * TaloToecan arches a brow at the conclusion of the Computer. "Well...I suppose Tirlerion might try something, but we have seen his ability is not dependant on such intricate means as faking such spellcraft. Which means it could be from Falerin, or perhaps Uncle Diviara, or several others both neutral or allied with our efforts."
[18:07] Randal: "Whats going on?" *leans over lkeas's shoulder
[18:07] Lkeas: Tirlerion isn't on Lore though..
[18:07] Computer: He has been in the past
[18:08] Computer: But such is indeed not in his style
[18:08] * Tirlerion appears
[18:08] Tirlerion: You rang?
[18:08] * The younger Damsel tilts her head to the side and considers. "Well... If I know us, we won't be content with not knowing what it is, and shall open it anyway, dispite all this talk."
[18:08] * Lkeas nods and turns to face Randal.  "There's some sort of apportation spell in a message sent to the laptop.. we're trying to figure out if we should set it off."
[18:08] * Akiro He listened, curious."
[18:08] Rimblade: "Hooray!  We found Tirlerion!"
[18:08] Kazuma: I think we did.
[18:08] Randal: "oh wonderful. Why not?"
[18:08] * Akiro Kills the quote-mark.)
[18:08] Durroth: Hi Tirlerion
[18:08] Durroth: would you care for a cup of coffee?
[18:08] Tirlerion: No thanks
[18:08] LBB_LurkKing: Howdy, Tirlerion!
[18:08] * TaloToecan smiles over at Tirlerion. "Ah, speaking of...how are you today, Tirlerion?"
[18:08] LBB_LurkKing: How's life?
[18:09] Tirlerion: What causes you to speak of me so frequently
[18:09] Rimblade: "Deliberations of the highest order!"
[18:09] LBB_LurkKing: Well, stuff and junk, mostly.
[18:09] Computer: They believe you might have sent them a trap
[18:09] * Both of the near twinned Damsel looks at Tirlerion as if not quite sure what to make of him.
[18:09] Fiona: "A message..."
[18:09] * Akiro A soft chuckle came as he listened.
[18:09] * Rimblade thumps the box lightly.
[18:09] Rimblade: "Stuff and junk?  Nay!  Valuable discourse, morelike!"
[18:09] * Silversyte feels like saying something but decides not to
[18:09] LBB_LurkKing: Liar.
[18:09] Genoclysm: Is it wrong of me to find it odd that you appeared at the slightest mentioning of your name?  I don't recall you coming so quickly at such before...
[18:09] * LordBarrius frowns slightly until hearing the Tirlerion's voice. He then glances up quietly, the frown fading, not nearly so opposed to his presense lately.
[18:09] Tirlerion: That would violate my Covenant with Arden
[18:09] LBB_LurkKing: You wanted to know what color his boxers are and you know it.

[18:10] Rimblade: "Plaid."
[18:10] TaloToecan: "Oh, a debate on who might have sent this latest tidbit, and why. You were brought up, but, as is apparent, you have little reason to bother with this brand of trickery in any case."

[18:10] Tirlerion: The spell does not originate with me
[18:10] LBB_LurkKing: Hearken unto the aspirant Evil! He speaks Truthiness to power!
[18:10] Lkeas: Yeah, we kinda figured you and Ryuusei were right out..
[18:10] Elenor: Humm...
[18:10] * Randal looks at the other dude "man.. gods everywhere here i thought I left this plan.."
[18:10] Tirlerion: If you wish however... I can for the right price....
[18:10] * TaloToecan nods to Tirlerion. "And I thank you for your candor, and putting the matter entirely to rest."
[18:10] Elenor: WHo could it be then?
[18:10] Rimblade: "Then, I swear, we must go!"
[18:11] Tirlerion: Check the destination personally
[18:11] Silversyte: pfft see you guys later
[18:11] LBB_LurkKing: Nah.
[18:11] LBB_LurkKing: That'd violate our motto!
[18:11] * Silversyte glares at the computer and then vanishes
[18:11] *** Silversyte has left #darkabode.
[18:11] LBB_LurkKing: "Always go with Plan A!"
[18:11] Kazuma: I still say open it
[18:11] * Lkeas raises an eyebrow.  "Hmm.  Would knowing the destination affect whether or not we actually go?"
[18:11] LBB_LurkKing: And Plan A is "Operation: Who Gives a Flying Flip?"
[18:11] Elenor: Of course it would.
[18:11] LBB_LurkKing: So, WE have to go in first!
[18:11] Lkeas: Seekers are quite the curious bunch..
[18:11] Tirlerion: There are worlds with no atmosphere you know
[18:11] * The elder Damsel shakes her head slowly. "What... kind of price?"
[18:11] LBB_LurkKing: With NO planning beforehand!
[18:11] Elenor: Say we discover it's to certian death.
[18:11] Tirlerion: Or methane atmospheres
[18:11] Lkeas: True, but who from Lore would wish to send us there?
[18:11] Kazuma: You need to spring a trap before you can break it
[18:11] LBB_LurkKing: Er...what's your point?
[18:12] * Akiro He shook his head as he listens to Tirlerion, wondering if that was the god. "We should go prepared for anything."
[18:12] *** Spectator has joined #darkabode.
[18:12] LBB_LurkKing: Breathing is overrated.
[18:12] Tirlerion: or an average temperature of -240 degrees
[18:12] LBB_LurkKing: Sounds tastey.
[18:12] Elenor: Getting out of those would be a challenge.
[18:12] Tirlerion: Or an average temperature of 230K
[18:12] Durroth: ... I'd say I'll deal, but I probably couldnt analyze and shift fast enough under any of those conditions
[18:12] * Fiona gulps. "I... See your point..."
[18:12] TaloToecan: "You mean to suggest that this is a death trap for the curious?"
[18:12] LBB_LurkKing: Pfft.
[18:12] Elenor: Same here, I have spells to get me out of bad circumstances.. But still.
[18:12] Tirlerion: Or antitechnological paradigms
[18:13] LBB_LurkKing: PFFT.
[18:13] * Lkeas sighs.  "Again, who from Lore would do that?"
[18:13] LBB_LurkKing: That's too complicated.
[18:13] Lkeas: Via the laptop, no less?
[18:13] Tirlerion: High electomagnetics
[18:13] LBB_LurkKing: Nobody'd want to trap US!
[18:13] LBB_LurkKing: We're useless!
[18:13] Tirlerion: Really
[18:13] Tirlerion: How amusing
[18:13] Tirlerion: Your funeral then
[18:13] LBB_LurkKing: Absolutely, nutters, and completely crazy to boot!
[18:13] Rimblade: "Wait!"
[18:13] LBB_LurkKing: As for pairs of dimes, I say this.
[18:13] Tirlerion: I have not agreed to prevent you from destroying yourselves
[18:13] * The elder Damsel sighs softly. "I did ask what price you wished."
[18:13] *** Macer has joined #darkabode.
[18:13] *** Mode change "+v Macer" for channel #darkabode by Abode.
[18:13] Genoclysm: I would have to know the price before agreeing to one, unless absolutely desperate.
[18:13] Rimblade: "He who has long attempted to slay us has a valid point!"
[18:13] * Lkeas smirks. "He wants to impress upon us the danger of the situation so we might ask him what his price is.  Shall we indulge him?"
[18:13] LBB_LurkKing: Why take twenty cents when you can take twenty dollars!
[18:14] Tirlerion: Ah... Shar
[18:14] Tirlerion: What price
[18:14] Rimblade: "We should send a SCOUT!"
[18:14] Lkeas: Ah, Geno has already beaten me to the punch.
[18:14] * Tirlerion smiles
[18:14] * Elenor sighs.
[18:14] LBB_LurkKing: A Boyscout?
[18:14] * Akiro He chuckled. "Let's indulge away."
[18:14] LBB_LurkKing: Fun!
[18:14] * TaloToecan nods towards the elder Damsel. "She already has, as does not truly surprise me."
[18:14] LBB_LurkKing: Let's kidnap one!
[18:14] * Elenor takes a look around the room, looking for someone.
[18:14] Durroth: ... lets send box
[18:14] Rimblade: "Hmm."
[18:14] Durroth: he doesnt need to breathe
[18:14] Kazuma: yeah, really
[18:14] LBB_LurkKing: Let's send the android!
[18:14] LBB_LurkKing: He's a doofus!
[18:14] * Akiro Chuckles. "Actually, box would be more appropriate."
[18:14] Tirlerion: I risk inconvenient disencorporation
[18:14] Rimblade: "Let's send Tirlerion!"
[18:14] Tirlerion: Any number of those things will kill this body
[18:15] Tirlerion: And given Therlion's reticence
[18:15] * Elder Damsel folds her arms across her chest and waits for him to get to the point.
[18:15] Tirlerion: That is risk indeed
[18:15] Tirlerion: but I shall I think take a page from Falerin's book.
[18:16] Tirlerion: If that Matthew Johansen can adopt it so well
[18:16] Tirlerion: So can I
[18:16] Lkeas: Storing up debt?
[18:16] LBB_LurkKing: Yay! We owe MORE favors!
[18:16] Tirlerion: Quite
[18:16] Elenor: Eh?
[18:16] * Akiro He moved closer to the laptop, curious about the laptop. "I have not seen such technology for a long time. In fact...this would be a rare technology." But he looked back at Tirlerion. "I wonder what the price is..."
[18:16] Lkeas: I'm not a big fan of buying on credit...
[18:16] Tirlerion: A future task of my own
[18:16] Kazuma: The Debts take forever to pay off.
[18:16] Tirlerion: One that is guaranteed not to violate your nature at the time
[18:16] Lkeas: How many of those debts have we been called to pay off so far?
[18:17] Genoclysm: I don't do well with forced obligations.
[18:17] Elenor: There's only one person in the omniverse I owe anything to... Falerin. And I'm not eager to change that.
[18:17] LBB_LurkKing: Actually, I find this offer to be more reasonable than most the ones we get.
[18:17] Randal: how many of us would be required to fulfil this task of yours?
[18:17] LBB_LurkKing: I say we go for it!
[18:17] Tirlerion: It is hardly a forced obligation Odeycian
[18:17] Tirlerion: You can after all reject my terms
[18:17] * Akiro He raised an eyebrow. "And Tirlerion is....what god?" It was clear Tirlerion was a god.
[18:17] * Elder Damsel shakes her head. "I am afraid I am not fond of that particular form of payment." The younger then speaks up to fill in the rest of the elder's thoughts. "You haven't been the most... trustworthy either when it comes to our health and wellbeing, unlike the others."
[18:17] Lkeas: Box, the debts always seem to go like that... it will be a task that will not violate your nature at the time...
[18:17] Fiona: "Uh... I believe Lord Tirlerion lacks a portfolio..."
[18:17] Tirlerion: Ah... such distrust
[18:17] Rimblade: "Hmmm.  Haha!"
[18:17] Tirlerion: You forget
[18:18] Kazuma: I forget a lot.
[18:18] Tirlerion: I am bound to not harm you
[18:18] LBB_LurkKing: No, no.
[18:18] Elenor: That is true..
[18:18] Kazuma: you are
[18:18] LBB_LurkKing: I really like this idea.
[18:18] Kazuma: But who else?

[18:18] Durroth: I dunno, I kinda like him since he stopped threatening us
[18:18] LBB_LurkKing: It sounds amusing!
[18:18] * TaloToecan reassuringly squeezes the younger Damsel's arm. "Ah, but he has quite well stuck to the wordings that his bargains have made. Ironic, perhaps, but it is true."
[18:18] * Akiro He eyed Tirlerion with curiousity. "I'm a newone..."
[18:18] Genoclysm: Hm...  Considering my purpose for being created, I'm not sure nature can't be misinterpreted quite nicely.
[18:18] Lkeas: It's not that I distrust the terms of the agreement, it's just that these debts have always kind of bothered me in general, regardless of the debtor.
[18:18] * Akiro Shoves up a space up there between new and one.)
[18:18] * Younger Damsel frowns faintly. "Perhaps, but your plans are never the most forward. Nor I think is the distrust unearned."
[18:18] * Elenor sighs, looking around the room. "Cerbero... where are you?"
[18:18] Lkeas: I'd like to be given the chance to pay one off first.
[18:18] LBB_LurkKing: And a great opportunity to have a life-lesson that we'll all miss anyway thrown right into our faces!
[18:18] Lkeas: Before adding another to my queue.
[18:19] Tirlerion: Well then you want a more upfront... requirement
[18:19] Tirlerion: Fine
[18:19] Kazuma: Ay.
[18:19] LBB_LurkKing: If we concentrate hard, we might actually come close to learning something!
[18:19] LBB_LurkKing: Wheeee!
[18:19] Tirlerion: I shall indulge your... sentimentalities
[18:19] * Akiro He moved closer to Tirlerion, as if still contemplating his request.
[18:19] Genoclysm: Tempting, though.
[18:20] Tirlerion: The cost is this. You shall if you decide to go to this world...
[18:20] Tirlerion: Invite me along and then after you are done there go to another world to deliver a message for me
[18:20] Tirlerion: And if you decide not
[18:20] Tirlerion: You owe me nothing
[18:20] LBB_LurkKing: Er...does the rite of invitation apply if we're not FROM that world?
[18:20] Elenor: You'd.. come with us?
[18:20] Fiona: "That... Doesn't sound too bad."
[18:20] LBB_LurkKing: It seems kinda sketchy.
[18:21] LBB_LurkKing: Or does it apply, since WE were invited?
[18:21] Lkeas: What sort of message?  Or are we not to know?
[18:21] LBB_LurkKing: I'm not exactly clear on the deific mechanics here.
[18:21] ElderDamsel: "Are we allowed to know the destination or content of this missive beforehand?"
[18:21] Randal: "ill pass this time."
[18:21] * LordBarrius tilts his head a bit. The request just seemed a bit....off to him, and it's not hard to read that from his face.
[18:21] Kazuma: hmm
[18:21] * Randal goes back to bed in the training room
[18:21] * Akiro A nod to Tirlerion's offer. "That sounds rather simplistic. Obviously, when accepted and the task done, it is not so easy as said."
[18:21] Genoclysm: It isn't one of those "kill the messenger" type messages, is it?
[18:21] Kazuma: THe most important question is who are we delivering too.
[18:21] Tirlerion: I cannot harm you
[18:22] LBB_LurkKing: Guys...
[18:22] Rimblade: "Hey, I trust Tirlerion implicitly!"

[18:22] LBB_LurkKing: Oh, he said it.
[18:22] Tirlerion: I am not interested in even trying
[18:22] LBB_LurkKing: And then Rimblade said it!
[18:22] Lkeas: Indeed, but the nature of the message may harm others..
[18:22] * Lkeas shrugs.
[18:22] Genoclysm: Just asking.
[18:22] LBB_LurkKing: Man, you guys just keep making my points for me!
[18:22] Kazuma: I trust him enough to take him with us.
[18:22] * Fiona nods. "I think we can trust him... He's helped before."
[18:22] Tirlerion: Several of you analogs are already doing me a favor
[18:22] Rimblade: "Look, he's always kept his word about things before!"
[18:22] * Akiro A mutter then..."I accept."
[18:22] Genoclysm: Secrecy does breed mistrust.
[18:22] Kazuma: I just don't trust who we're sending a message to.
[18:23] LBB_LurkKing: Wow, you lot are too cynical for your own good.
[18:23] Tirlerion: They will not harm you either
[18:23] LBB_LurkKing: Whatever happened to breed this paradigm of yours?
[18:23] * TaloToecan smiles softly at Tirlerion. "And how is my other self, in any case, Tirlerion?"
[18:23] Tirlerion: On that matter you have my solemn vow
[18:23] * Lkeas lowers her gaze.  "Some of us.. lack analogs these days.."
[18:23] LBB_LurkKing: The omniverse isn't out to kill us!
[18:23] LBB_LurkKing: It doesn't even know we exist!
[18:23] Kazuma: ooh..
[18:23] LBB_LurkKing: I say we accept!
[18:23] Kazuma: Anybody have a coin I could borrow?
[18:23] Tirlerion: That you have an anlog at all is...
[18:23] * Akiro He repeated "I said I accept."
[18:23] Tirlerion: Nevermind
[18:23] Elenor: Ehhh.
[18:23] * Akiro Eyes LBB then.
[18:23] * Both Damsels frown, feeling something is slightly off.
[18:24] * Lkeas looks up quickly. "What?  Improbable?  Impossible?"
[18:24] * LBB_LurkKing skitters out from under the couch, thereby making this feat a deal easier.
[18:24] Tirlerion: No
[18:24] Rimblade: "Inexcusable?"
[18:24] Tirlerion: You are all so suspicious
[18:24] Kazuma: We have good reason
[18:24] Tirlerion: Would you prefer I delineate what the message is and to whom
[18:24] Rimblade: "Foreknowledge is a wonderful gift!"
[18:24] Tirlerion: And where you must go
[18:24] LBB_LurkKing: C'mon, guys, let's go!
[18:25] TaloToecan: "I am inclined to leave you a sense of privacy, Tirlerion."
[18:25] * Akiro Tilts head. "I may be new, yet I shall learn from experience."
[18:25] LBB_LurkKing: Jump on the bandwagon before it runs you over!
[18:25] Tirlerion: You will go to the Alorian metaplane
[18:25] LBB_LurkKing: Oh, gee, NOW you've done it.
[18:25] Tirlerion: The message is for Lorithia herself
[18:25] Kazuma: Never heard of it...I'll go.
[18:25] LBB_LurkKing: He's gonna tell us.
[18:25] LBB_LurkKing: Oh, see?
[18:25] LBB_LurkKing: SEE?
[18:25] Tirlerion: And the text of the message is this:
[18:25] LBB_LurkKing: It's all over now!
[18:25] LBB_LurkKing: Nono!
[18:25] Tirlerion: I accept
[18:25] LBB_LurkKing: GAH!
[18:25] LBB_LurkKing: Too late!
[18:25] Elenor: .. Sounds good to me.
[18:25] * The Damsels appear startled and glance at their respective partners in turn.
[18:25] * Rimblade idly creates the illusion of electric shocks about the box.
[18:25] Elenor: Go and tell Lorithia that Tirlerion accepts?
[18:26] Tirlerion: Correct
[18:26] *** Dale is now known as Dale|BRB.
[18:26] * Akiro He nodded as he heard Tirlerion.
[18:26] Rimblade: "Wonderful!"
[18:26] Elenor: Don't see any problem there.
[18:26] Akiro: "Should be easy then."
[18:26] Genoclysm: I hate it when I become more curious than I already was.
[18:26] * LBB_LurkKing squeals in terror, and begins to do something greatly resembling a jig, dancing around the "shocks" in a useless attempt at avoiding them.
[18:26] * Lkeas bites a nail somewhat nervously.  "That... well, the implications of that are beyond my comprehension at the moment.."
[18:26] Rimblade: "A most excellent agreement, eh, Counterfeit?"
[18:26] Kazuma: You know, I was ready to accept before you said it.
[18:26] * LordBarrius raises an eyebrow, but doesn't vocalize his thoughts. He casts a quick glance around to see how the others have taken it.
[18:27] LBB_LurkKing: Aaaiiiie!
[18:27] Akiro: So who goes?
[18:27] Tirlerion: Shall I check the world or not
[18:27] * TaloToecan smiles further and wraps an arm gently around the younger Shayril. "Ah...for every question answered, several new curiosities born."
[18:27] * Akiro Looks about.
[18:27] * LBB_LurkKing skitters back and forth, caged in on all sides by the illusory electricity and seeing no means of escape.
[18:27] Tirlerion: I must have at least some semblance of concensus
[18:27] Genoclysm: I suppose the message will be sent one way or another.
[18:27] Tirlerion: It shall be indeed sent regardless
[18:27] Genoclysm: Considering that, what do we have to lose?
[18:27] * Lkeas nods.  "If the others agree, I am not opposed.."
[18:28] Durroth: nothin to lose
[18:28] LordBarrius: "I...suppose I do not disagree with those terms."
[18:28] Durroth: why not
[18:28] Rimblade: "I say that your offer is quite supurb!  Agreement all around!"
[18:28] * Tirlerion smiles
[18:28] * Akiro Has nothing to lose, save for his starship.
[18:28] * Tirlerion gestures at the computer
[18:28] Elenor: Sounds cool.
[18:28] * Tirlerion vanishes
[18:28] * LBB_LurkKing gives a shrill cry of terror. "RIMBLAAAADE!"
[18:28] * The younger Damsel looks at Talo and nods. "Then I think I can agree to those terms." The elder waits for LordBarrius' reply before agreeing as well.
[18:29] * Lkeas sighs slightly.  "What do you make of it, computer?"
[18:29] TaloToecan: "My opinion may differ from my dear heart's in nuances of reason, however, I am amicible enough as well. Even though it is the *manner* in which it is delivered that I see is important."
[18:29] Genoclysm: Of course some memories don't die easily, so I'll perhaps remain uneasy for some time...
[18:29] Computer: I cannot begin to fathom Tirlerion's motive
[18:29] Lkeas: Nor can I... that message...
[18:30] Lkeas: I wonder if he intends us to take it because he wishes us to see Lorithia's reaction..
[18:30] * Tirlerion appears
[18:30] YoungerDamsel: "He has... changed greatly it would seem since the Archivist's death..."
[18:30] * Lkeas trails off.
[18:30] Durroth: we didnt say it this time!
[18:30] Rimblade: "Heehee."
[18:30] Durroth: it was the computer
[18:30] Tirlerion: How strange
[18:30] * The younger Damsel appears slightly abashed at the ill timing.
[18:30] Lkeas: Any methane? Lack of atmosphere?
[18:30] Tirlerion: No.
[18:30] * Akiro Muttering as he walks towards the laptop. "Can we PLEASE get going?"
[18:30] * Rimblade snaps, removing the illusion.
[18:30] * Elenor sighs.
[18:30] Tirlerion: It is an analog of Lore
[18:30] Genoclysm: Let me guess, completely safe?
[18:31] Tirlerion: A dead one
[18:31] * LBB_LurkKing gives a sigh of relief as the illusion vanishes, and falls still and silent.
[18:31] Lkeas: Hmm.  Why an alternate form and not the one we know, I wonder?
[18:31] * Genoclysm frowns.
[18:31] ElderDamsel: "Is it time displaced...? Dead?"
[18:31] Elenor: .Hurm?
[18:31] Tirlerion: No animal life
[18:31] Elenor: Dead how so?
[18:31] Kazuma: as in...Post-partal-uncreation?
[18:31] Tirlerion: No undeath either
[18:31] Genoclysm: Would you have any idea if it is the... what?
[18:31] LordBarrius: "...dead?  Very strange."
[18:31] Genoclysm: No undeath?
[18:31] Fiona: "Just... Empty?"
[18:31] Tirlerion: No
[18:31] Rimblade: "Mmmmm.  Are there any active enchantments about it?"
[18:31] Genoclysm: I suppose it's not, then.
[18:31] Tirlerion: Just devoid of life
[18:31] TaloToecan: "Truly so? That is a shame...but what, perhaps, of aether spirits or machine? Dead of those as well?"
[18:31] Lkeas: Perhaps one where The'Galin has... has been thorough..?
[18:31] *** Cy has signed off IRC (Interred: Out).
[18:32] LBB_LurkKing: What about spirit-beings, or whatnot, eh?
[18:32] LBB_LurkKing: EH?
[18:32] Tirlerion: Its timescale is postapocolyptic in some fashion I do not quite understand
[18:32] Tirlerion: Lorian cosmology is not my strong suit
[18:32] Kazuma: nor is it mine
[18:32] LBB_LurkKing: I don't wear suits. It's kinda sad.
[18:32] YoungerDamsel: "But something must be living somewhere. Otherwise, how could the missive be sent?"
[18:32] LBB_LurkKing: None made to fit my size, y'see.
[18:32] * Lkeas nods.  "Is there any danger to us visiting?  Perhaps whatever caused the lack of life might come for us?"
[18:32] Tirlerion: The missive did not originate there
[18:32] * Akiro He listens closely, wondering. "Where is Lorit....her name is?"
[18:32] Tirlerion: The missive orinated from the main analog
[18:32] Kazuma: From one LORE to another
[18:32] Tirlerion: Your lore
[18:33] Genoclysm: We have no idea who sent it?
[18:33] Elenor: Hurm... Strange in the extreme... therefore about normal for here.
[18:33] Genoclysm: Falerin would have said if it was some obscure journal entry, right?
[18:33] Tirlerion: I can possibly back trace that too...but not before my own message would be delivered
[18:33] * The younger Damsel appears thoughtful. "How... curious." The elder glances her way and nods in agreement.
[18:33] Tirlerion: That would require a modification of our previous arrangement
[18:33] * Akiro Repeats the question. "Where is Lorithia? Or whatever her name is?"
[18:33] Fiona: "Alright."
[18:33] *** Doklim has signed off IRC (Interred: ChatZilla 0.9.79 [Firefox <a href="http://1.5.0.9/2006120612%5D" target="_blank">1.5.0.9/2006120612]</a>).
[18:33] * Lkeas shrugs as she waits to see if her question might be addressed.
[18:33] LBB_LurkKing: What are we waiting for, again? It doesn' seem like we're doing anything important. Let's go!
[18:34] Tirlerion: I detect no "evil"
[18:34] * Akiro Then continued on with the question. "We know she is on the alternate Lore. But where specifically?"
[18:34] Tirlerion: I detect no good either
[18:34] Lkeas: Odd.  Just, nothing..
[18:34] Kazuma: how about neutral?
[18:34] Tirlerion: Nor any signs that it is anything save a dead analog
[18:34] Lkeas: Well... the message was sent for a reason.  We should get going.
[18:34] Lkeas: We can determine from whence it came later.
[18:35] Durroth: ... are we going to sit here on the cliff edge worrying whats at the bottom all day or are we gonna jump?
[18:35] Kazuma: I already said jump
[18:35] Rimblade: "Leap!"
[18:35] * Elenor shakes her head. "Evil really isn't that bad, you know."
[18:35] LBB_LurkKing: SOAR like eagles!
[18:35] LBB_LurkKing: DROP like rocks!
[18:35] * Akiro He sighed. "Before we go, shouldn't we know where she is?"
[18:35] Tirlerion: I agree Elenor
[18:35] LBB_LurkKing: There's no difference, I say!
[18:35] Tirlerion: Most do not share our opinion
[18:35] * Tirlerion chuckles
[18:35] Fiona: "Evil is just what it is... It's not comparable to much else."
[18:36] Durroth: evil can be fun too!
[18:36] Elenor: What is Evil?
[18:36] Tirlerion: The world has no oversight either
[18:36] Rimblade: "No, no.  It's far too comparable."
[18:36] Tirlerion: it is spiritually as well as physically dead
[18:36] Rimblade: "That's not a problem, though, because I'll oversee it while we're there."
[18:36] Tirlerion: it is completely unclaimed by active deities
[18:36] LordBarrius: "Now that *is* very curious."
[18:36] TaloToecan: "No oversight...as in no gods. Very curious, a dead world whose only oddity is that it is well and truly dead."
[18:36] * Akiro Slowly becoming irritated, he repeated the question. "Tirlerion, do you know where the recipient of the message is on the alternate Lore?"
[18:36] Kazuma: perhaps...
[18:37] * The elder Damsel sighs. "Well I doubt we'll find out much more here. Perhaps it is indeed time for action."
[18:37] Tirlerion: Lorithia?
[18:37] Akiro: Aye.
[18:37] Kazuma: Perhaps...I'd best not say it at all
[18:37] Tirlerion: She exists on the Demiplane that the Deities exist on
[18:37] Tirlerion: What she calls the Chamber of the Gods
[18:37] * Lkeas pushes herself off the couch and moves to stand closer to the ones she considers closest friends.  "We may find our curiosity satiated or further spurred by... y'know, going there..."
[18:37] Tirlerion: What The`Galin has called Aloria
[18:37] * Akiro Looks to the others. "Know where that is?"
[18:38] Fiona: "So... The agreement is we'll deliver your message to Lorithia in exchange for this...?"
[18:38] Elenor: Eh, I wouldn't mind meeting Lorithia, personally.
[18:38] Tirlerion: The agreement is that you invite me with you and after you are done you deliver the message to her
[18:38] Durroth: ... we have rehashed the details about 20 times now
[18:38] * TaloToecan gestures to Akiro. "Where it is and how to get there is already set, I believe, by Tirlerion's methods. He would not give us a message we do not have the means to deliver. Not that message, assuredly."
[18:39] Elenor: Aye.... I believe it is time to head off.
[18:39] * Lkeas nods in agreement with Durroth, feeling a bit of his impatience as well.
[18:39] * Akiro Nods. "Ah. Alright."
[18:39] Akiro: "Shall we go then?"
[18:39] Rimblade: "I believe it would be best to go at once, lest we learn more."
[18:39] Tirlerion: Oh by Fizzle's beard.... decide already
[18:39] * Elenor stands up.
[18:39] Elenor: Let's go then.
[18:39] Rimblade: "Ignorance is blush!"
[18:39] * Fiona lets out a small cough. "I say we go."
[18:39] Lkeas: I'll do it.
[18:39] * Akiro Grins. "I've already decided."
[18:39] * Lkeas moves to the laptop and attempts to click open the attachment.
[18:40] * LBB_LurkKing skitters over to Rimblade, taking a flying leap that nearly pulls off his pants before correcting the error in its kinetic interface and scrambling up to perch upon his shoulder.
[18:40] >Ambiance<: The computer glows and Caelestia fades away
