The Epic - Session V

From Caelwiki

[15:27] >Ambiance<: It is said that a butterfly flapping its wings can start a hurricane, and that a pebble tossed in the ocean a Tsunami. Both of these forces are weak compared to a voice whispering the truth. A voice whispering the truth does not start hurricanes or tsunamis, it moves worlds.
[15:29] Falerin: New Players Welcome to the Epic. Old Players Welcome Back, I am the LoreMaster your guide on this journey.
[15:30] Falerin: Herein expectations will be defied, battles we be fought, worlds destroyed, and created anew. Answers will be given. Lies will be told. Truth revealled. Faith Shattered. And rebuilt again.
[15:30] Falerin: Brace yourself for it is to be a bumpy ride.

[15:34] Reality: Begin Session Five
[15:34] * Randal_Moonash snaps his fingers
[15:35] Randal_Moonash: Now I remember where I heard garou...
[15:35] Randal_Moonash: "That RP game... Werewolf: the apocalypse.. or somethign... Oh I'm sorry... I've been rude"
[15:35] * Randal_Moonash extends his hand to the lady
[15:35] Reality: "you mean the bible"
[15:36] Reality: "well one of the books therein...."
[15:36] * Randal_Moonash furrows his brow...
[15:36] Reality: "that game... does not exist in this reality Mr. Moonash"
[15:36] Reality: "That game is derived from it"
[15:36] Reality: "and from its close analogs
[15:36] * Randal_Moonash lets out a low whistle...
[15:36] Randal_Moonash: "Thats... incredible... I'm sorry.. I didn't catch your name?"
[15:36] * Reven falls to the ground, still frozen up, no longer supported by Elaith.
[15:37] Reality: "People touching on things they cannot fully grasp"
[15:37] * Reality looks at Reven
[15:37] Stromy: The Garou are mentioned in the bible, i do not remember them
[15:37] Reality: "He appears to be stuck in a mage's quiet"
[15:37] Randal_Moonash: "In all fairness... he did ask for the paradox to be dumped on him. Can you do anything?"
[15:37] * Hsarc is still sitting on the floor, listening intently, but at the same time pondering how NYC could be bombed by its own government.
[15:38] Randal_Moonash: "He's... not entirely helpful... but he IS with us."
[15:39] Reality: "I see..."
[15:39] Reality: "I am Reality.. though in this form I am generally refered to by the name Rhea"
[15:39] Randal_Moonash: "And which do you perfer?"
[15:40] Reality: "I am the fully autonomous Artificial Intelligence and main computer of Third City"
[15:40] Randal_Moonash: "See... that's where I am confused... what exactly IS this place?"
[15:40] Reality: "As I said... I am called Rhea when I am manifest. I am called Reality when I am voice from above"
[15:41] Reality: "Largely because they wanted a pet name for my current form I imagine"
[15:41] Hsarc: Would it not be easier to just stick with one form?
[15:41] *** Blueman has signed off IRC (Distracted: ).
[15:41] Randal_Moonash: "Alright, Rhea... like Rhea... the wife of chronus?"
[15:41] Reality: "How limiting....."
[15:42] Reality: "Yes like that.. and also chosen because its a natural reduction of Reality"
[15:42] * Randal_Moonash shrugs
[15:42] Reality: "Staying in one form when one can freely shift between them is crazy"
[15:43] Reality: "That would be like asking a Garou why he did not always exist in his war form"
[15:43] Hsarc: It makes things easier on others, but whatever.
[15:43] Reality: "Ease on others is not my primary concern"
[15:43] * Hsarc goes back to the crime solving book he was enjoying earlier.
[15:43] Reality: "Is ease on others your primary concern"
[15:43] Randal_Moonash: "I think he only is concerned with himself."
[15:43] * Hsarc looks up. "You have a valid point."
[15:44] Reality: "There are times when being able to physically interact is quite valuable. There are other times when it is valuable to be able to spread myself to infinity"
[15:44] Reality: "I exist in the state that is most useful at the moment"
[15:45] Falerin: I have never quite gotten this.. You are a hologram? Or one of these hard light holograms? yes?
[15:45] Reality: No
[15:45] Reality: If you cut me in my current form I will bleed
[15:46] Hsarc: So you hold the ability to be human and an AI at the same time?
[15:46] Reality: I am a fully accomplished artificial life form that also happens to be a powerful mage.....
[15:46] Hsarc: Well, not at the same time...
[15:46] Reality: I use my magic to shift between the physical and the energy forms at will
[15:46] Randal_Moonash: "All that is well and good, but we came to this 'Third City' for a reason. She's whatever she wishes to be, in other words."
[15:46] Reality: Actually I can maintain both simultaneously
[15:46] Reality: but its draining
[15:46] Reality: and generally not very purposeful
[15:47] Hsarc: Excuse my poor choice of words. No human interaction for so long has cut down my conversational skills. [15:47] >Ambiance<: The sky takes on an odd haze like the heat over the fire....
[15:47] Randal_Moonash: "Something tells me that isn't the welcome wagon..."
[15:47] Reality: "I am detecting a shift in the local gauntlet.... and a breach in the walls of reality....."
[15:48] Hsarc: Hmmm.... Some leaving others coming?
[15:48] Reality: "I do not know.. while the world itself does appear to be a sentient force in these shifts"
[15:48] Reality: "They are largely not predicable"
[15:48] Reality: "I can attempt to stop it magically if you wish"
[15:48] Randal_Moonash: "Well... umm... maybe we should hide? And I still don't understand why we came here....."
[15:49] Reality: "Collapse the wave before it has a chance to manfiest"
[15:49] Randal_Moonash: "Would that be a wise idea?"
[15:49] Randal_Moonash: "Or would we all end up like him?"*points at reven*
[15:49] Reality: "You are here because we are going to Third City"
[15:49] Reality: "But first we had better get out of this version of New York"
[15:49] Randal_Moonash: "You mean this isn't third city?"
[15:50] Hsarc: Apparantly not.
[15:50] Hsarc: Let us go then, agreed?
[15:50] Reality: "Well.... some refer to this version of Terra as third city"
[15:50] Reality: "As it is the one that houses Third City"
[15:50] Reality: "But third city itself is a specific location"
[15:51] Randal_Moonash: "I could really use a drink..."
[15:51] * Randal_Moonash picks up the laptop, sliding it under his coat
[15:51] Lkeas: appears with a pop
[15:51] * Randal_Moonash nearly trips and falls, startled
[15:52] * Lkeas slams to the floor with a loud thud
[15:52] * Hsarc drops his book and slides back.
[15:52] Hsarc: Is it a raid?
[15:52] Randal_Moonash: "In the name of the nine bloody hells! What are you trying to do, make me soil myself?!"
[15:52] * Lkeas gets up slowly and looks around, confused
[15:52] Falerin: "Lkeas"
[15:52] Lkeas: this isn't the Inn...
[15:52] Falerin: "No it's not"
[15:52] Lkeas: Falerin, where have you taken me now?
[15:52] * Falerin helps Lkeas up
[15:52] Falerin: "I have not"
[15:52] * Randal_Moonash looks up at falerin
[15:52] Falerin: "When my "superior" cast us out of Caelestia"
[15:53] Falerin: "We appear to have been seperated"
[15:53] Randal_Moonash: "Look, the next time you summon a friend of yours... try to warn me first!"
[15:53] Lkeas: ah, i see.
[15:53] Randal_Moonash: "I dont exactly carry extra pants around..." *is now talking to himself*
[15:53] Falerin: "I had nothing to do with here arrival Randal"
[15:53] * Lkeas sticks out a hand to Randal
[15:53] Falerin: On the contrary I...
[15:53] Lkeas: sorry for the abrupt entrance there
[15:53] * Kairi appears with a pop
[15:53] Lkeas: i'm Lkeas, and you are?
[15:54] * Hsarc stands up, wondering how many people were transported to Caelestia and then suddenly kicked back out.
[15:54] Randal_Moonash: "Holy... *bites his hand trying not to curse*
[15:54] Kairi: Whoa!
[15:54] Randal_Moonash: "Ow!. Sorry. A bit startled there." *gets up unsteadily* "I'm Randal. But everyone calls me Moonash"
[15:54] * Hadin appears with a a flash of light and the smell of sulfur. In his hands is still a laptop connected to battleon.com
[15:54] Kairi: Where am I???
[15:55] Lkeas: hmm. looks like we might have to have a grand round of introductions soon...
[15:55] Kairi: What the--?
[15:55] * The odd wavering increases in magnitude sevrely
[15:55] * Hadin collapses to the ground in a heap, holding the laptop out of pure reaction.
[15:55] * Hsarc rests against a wall, so as not to get hurt from another unexpected appearance. "How many of you are coming?"
[15:55] Randal_Moonash: "What the bloody hell! Its worse than rabbits!"
[15:55] Reality: This shift is rather severe.... I suggest that I compensate now....
[15:55] * Kairi stares around
[15:56] Lkeas: no wait... we might need the extra help...
[15:56] Randal_Moonash: "help for what?! Trying to make me soil myself?!"
[15:56] * Lkeas laughs
[15:56] Hsarc: Compensate? How?
[15:56] Lkeas: you don't really know what you're up against, do you
[15:56] Hadin: "May Fire freeze and Ice learn to Burn freely...one moment I'm sitting in my workshop, then I'm in the Lords know where!"
[15:56] Randal_Moonash: "No I bloody well don't! But I do know I'll be facing it rather squishily at this rate!"
[15:56] * Lkeas walks over to Hadin and offers a hand
[15:57] * There is a feeling as if the room is pulling inwards and Reality vanishes even as Nicholas Gene and the Rest reappear
[15:57] Lkeas: Hail and well met, traveller; my name is Lkeas
[15:57] * Kairi stares
[15:57] >Ambiance<: You are standing now in an active bookstore in manhattan
[15:57] Gene_Clatic: Not again!  I was just lounging in the castle... now where have I been pulled to?!
[15:57] Hsarc: Don't....feel....so...good...
[15:57] * Hadin clutches the laptop closely, but reaches up with one hand to clasp around Lkeas. "Hail yerself...Hadin's the name, if'n I still have one."
[15:57] * Azerkail nods at Lkeas.
[15:57] >Ambiance<: Customers are moving in and out through the main entrance and the sound of the city beyond is quite apparent
[15:58] Stromy: Uhh, hi
[15:58] Azerkail: I'm Azerkail. Good to meet you.
[15:58] Kairi: What the-
[15:58] * Stromy extends his hand to Az
[15:58] Nicholas_Rayje: What.... what am I doing here?
[15:58] Gene_Clatic: I'm starting to feel like that poor avatar guy...
[15:58] Reality: "We appear to have been yanked out of that reality wholesale"
[15:58] LordBarrius: Erm....this is odd....how did I end up here?
[15:58] * Azerkail shakes Stromy's hand.
[15:58] Lkeas: the pleasure is mine, Azerkail.
[15:58] Hsarc: Was that your doing, Reality?
[15:58] * Lkeas looks at Gene_Clatic
[15:58] Azerkail: The feeling's mutual, Lkeas.
[15:58] Kairi: This is so weird!
[15:58] Gene_Clatic: Oh, hello Lkeas.  You've gotten pulled too?
[15:58] Lkeas: you escaped...
[15:58] Reality: "It was not.. I In fact remain in ThirdCity's ambit"
[15:58] Randal_Moonash: "Well. So much for finding this whole thing out..."
[15:58] Kairi: It's like a dream.....
[15:58] Lkeas: it looks like it's just the two of us...
[15:58] Reality: "I am talking to you now via Randal's Laptop"
[15:58] Randal_Moonash: "er... then what happened to figuring out everything from the internet...
[15:58] Randal_Moonash: "oh right..."
[15:59] * Randal_Moonash removes it from his coat
[15:59] Hsarc: Is there a way for you to transport yourself here?
[15:59] Reality: "Magic does not work well on that version of Terra at all"
[15:59] Randal_Moonash: "Er... I'm fairly sure the laptop could.. however... that's probably not a good idea..."
[15:59] * Hadin glances at each person in turn and feels a slight level of revultion to the lot of them for disturbing his peace...even if they have nothing to do with it. He wavers slightly on his feet, and begins to look about for his walking cane, or at least something to suffice as one.
[15:59] Randal_Moonash: "I don't think this laptop uses magic... per se."
[15:59] Reality: "So while I might be able to manifest there"
[15:59] Gene_Clatic: And to think I was back relaxing on Odeycia...  There isn't a beast here too is there?
[15:59] Reality: "I could only do so by losing my connection to my own reality"
[15:59] Reality: "So no"
[16:00] Reality: "I will decline"
[16:00] * Azerkail finds a spot of wall to lean on.
[16:00] Randal_Moonash: "So ... what about acessing the Interweb...
[16:00] Lkeas: i would hope not, Gene... but perhaps i am being too optimistic
[16:00] * Kairi leans on a bookshelf
[16:00] Randal_Moonash: "and this whole awakened being nonsense...?"
[16:00] Randal_Moonash: "All I want to do... is make it stop snowing and thundering in time for a NORMAL halloween.
[16:00] * Hadin finds the cane tangled about his foot, adding to his discomfort, and retrieves it thusly. "Now then, what's this about magic and 'lap tops'?"
[16:01] Gene_Clatic: Um, the name is... wait... actually Gene would be less likely to get people asking questions.  Hm.
[16:01] Voice: Connection to interweb terminated
[16:01] Gene_Clatic: Yes, I'll go by Gene Clatic.
[16:01] Randal_Moonash: "figures..."
[16:01] * Randal_Moonash turns around, shutting the laptop and putting it in his coat
[16:01] Nicholas_Rayje: What is my purpose here, who has brought me here? And what is this about a laptop?
[16:01] Azerkail: Same question.
[16:01] Hsarc: We don't know.
[16:01] Lkeas: two laptops, if i'm counting correctly...
[16:01] * Randal_Moonash stands approaching the group
[16:01] Hsarc: At least I don't.
[16:01] * Lkeas looks at Hadin
[16:02] LordBarrius: What precisely is going on here?  And how did I get here anyways?
[16:02] Randal_Moonash: "Buggered if we know. All I was doing was having a quiet cofee..."
[16:02] Randal_Moonash: "Next thing I know... everything goes to hell..."
[16:02] Stromy: Rhea, could you in any way channel yourself through someone?
[16:02] * Hadin meets Lkeas' gaze, then looks down at the device still gripped in his hands. "This bloody artefact?"
[16:02] * Hsarc takes a step forward and slips on the book he dropped. He hits his head on a table and slips out of consciosness.
[16:02] Randal_Moonash: "The connection is gone, Stromy. At least I remember you.."
[16:02] Azerkail: Ouch.
[16:03] Stromy: I...ahhh too late
[16:03] Randal_Moonash: "Sodding hellfire......"
[16:03] * Gene_Clatic finds a place to sit, hoping someone will be kind enough to actually explain his newest whereabouts.
[16:03] Stromy: Excuse me?
[16:03] * Kairi sighs and slumps down to the floor
[16:03] * Azerkail looks at Randal.
[16:04] Randal_Moonash: "Look, when you get shoved around by gods, and introduced to a world you hardly know, hear a necromancers voice in your head, and that of a man you KNOW is back in the city... you can damned well curse."
[16:04] *** Rimblade has joined #EPIC.
[16:04] * Lkeas joins Gene and scans the room for Falerin
[16:04] Stromy: So, what can we do now?  Our only connection to where we were pulled from (as far as i know) was lost.
[16:04] Gene_Clatic: It seems that quite a lot of peolple have gotten dragged into this world today, from all of the confused gazes i see.
[16:04] * Hadin lifts his cane for a moment and prods Lkeas with it lightly. "Well? Ye gonna answer?"
[16:04] Azerkail: I wasn't going to scold you, but where exactly are we?
[16:04] Kairi: Where exactly are we all from?
[16:04] Lkeas: is it your laptop, Hadin? how did you come by it?
[16:05] Randal_Moonash: "Hell if I know...I suppose we could ask Falerin.."
[16:05] Stromy: Falerin?  We could use a little guidance
[16:05] Manager: "Sorry to be a bother folks but can you quiet your roleplaying down some of the other customers are trying to read.... also I wanted to remind you that Strand closes in 30 minutes
[16:05] Hadin: "So this artefact is called a laptop eh? That handles one thing...as for how I got it, you'd better be off explaining how by the Lords I got here.  I know of neither."
[16:05] * Randal_Moonash looks at the man
[16:05] Randal_Moonash: "Who the hell are you?!"
[16:05] Stromy: Well, since we seem to be connected I guess we should stick together?
[16:06] Nicholas_Rayje: If you won't answer my other questions. Might I atleast know what you call yourselves?
[16:06] Stromy: WE might want to leave now to beat the rush
[16:06] * Lkeas glances at the manager, and then back at the group
[16:06] Lkeas: yes, perhaps we should go outside...
[16:06] LordBarrius: That is probably a good idea....
[16:06] Azerkail: Better than in here.
[16:06] Nicholas_Rayje: Whatever...
[16:06] Stromy: Stick together mind you, we are connected, and we dont want to lose anyone
[16:06] * Lkeas holds the door open for the others
[16:07] * Stromy leaves
[16:07] * Azerkail looks to extends a hand to Nicholas.
[16:07] * Kairi walks out
[16:07] * Gene_Clatic heads out.
[16:07] Azerkail: I'm Azerkail.
[16:07] * Nicholas_Rayje slaps Azerkail's hand.
[16:07] Reality: "
[16:07] * LordBarrius walks out the open doorway.
[16:07] Azerkail: Fine, then.
[16:07] * Azerkail walks out.
[16:07] * Nicholas_Rayje calmly walks threw the door.
[16:07] * Hadin hobbles outside, wishing for some space between him and all these strangers or at least a solid oak to lean on. The sight outside does little to comfort him and his trained persceptions.
[16:07] * Randal_Moonash follows out clearly not in the best state, holdingReven
[16:07] Stromy: Since we dont all seem to be aquainted, we might want to become so now
[16:08] Kairi: Ok....
[16:08] Randal_Moonash: What... was that.
[16:08] Stromy: To All: I'm Stromy
[16:08] Stromy: And you all are?
[16:08] Kairi: Hi Stromy
[16:08] Kairi: I'm Kairi
[16:08] LordBarrius: Perhaps so.  My name is Lord Barrius.
[16:08] * Azerkail is rubbing his hand.
[16:08] Randal_Moonash: "Oh a bloody lord are ya?"
[16:08] * Lkeas glances around the bookstore once more but seems to have lost track of the Avatar, so she joins the rest of the group
[16:08] Stromy: Good to meet you...all of you
[16:08] Randal_Moonash: "what next? A bookworm?!"
[16:08] Gene_Clatic: I am Geno, er... Gene Clatic.
[16:08] >Ambiance<: Manhattan is chilly for late october but not overly so. The half moon hangs bright in the sky and the smells of autumn dot the landscape. People hurry here and there clearly attending to buisness
[16:08] Nicholas_Rayje: My name is Nicholas Rayje, but call me whatever you wish.
[16:08] Falerin: Well it appears as if the snow stopped
[16:08] Azerkail: Azerkail.
[16:09] Falerin: And its melted away too
[16:09] Stromy: Ahh, Autumn, nothing like a cool breeze
[16:09] Randal_Moonash: "OI! Now you show... Is this even the same reality?"
[16:09] * Lkeas starts
[16:09] Stromy: I suppose we should find somewhere to rest?
[16:09] Kairi: Where?
[16:09] LordBarrius: I'm not even sure this is anything but a dream right now...
[16:09] Stromy: Preferably not on the street?
[16:09] Gene_Clatic: Too bad.  There isn't any snow where I'm from.
[16:09] Kairi: Where can we go??
[16:09] Falerin: "I have always been here.. but I take unkindly to people demanding answers from me I have not got"
[16:09] Gene_Clatic: How often does it snow here?
[16:09] Stromy: A hotel would be nice
[16:10] Kairi: Whats a hotel?
[16:10] Randal_Moonash: "Well then, can we at least do something about this guy on my back?"
[16:10] Azerkail: Assuming we have currency, Stromy.
[16:10] Lkeas: what guy, randal?
[16:10] Stromy: precisely what i was going to ask
[16:10] * Hadin is watching the hustle-and-bustle of the strange city with great curiosity...until enough people jar himto make him mad. "The hell is this place..." he whispers to himself, before hobbling over to Lkeas, since she represents a somewhat kind figure. "Hadin Gan-Kar, ma'am...to be more in full. You know of this place, I suppose?"
[16:10] Falerin: "If this is Manhattan...."
[16:10] Stromy: Does anyone have any money on them?
[16:10] Falerin: "I have a penthouse"
[16:10] * Randal_Moonash gestures to reven, slumped across his back
[16:10] Azerkail: A penthouse you say?
[16:10] Stromy: ...Great!!!
[16:10] LordBarrius: Erm, I suppose so....
[16:10] Falerin: "That is if it is mine"
[16:10] Randal_Moonash: "A penthouse... finally some good news. Do you have any pants i could borrow?"
[16:10] Stromy: Near here?
[16:10] * LordBarrius gives Randal a hand.
[16:10] Azerkail: I hope you can accomadate all of us.
[16:10] Gene_Clatic: A penthouse?  Not a palace, but anywhere is better than nowhere.
[16:10] Lkeas: unfortunately, Hadin, your guess is as good as mine... i was in a forest a while ago... then i was sent back to my normal reality... and now i am here
[16:11] Falerin: "Though... um...I do not know how much time passed since I was yanked back into immertot"
[16:11] Stromy: ...So it might not be here?
[16:11] Falerin: "Or for that matter between when I was pulled back and forth out of third city the last time"
[16:11] Kairi: Stromy, what is a hotel?
[16:11] * Hadin harumphs loadly. "Right..."
[16:11] Gene_Clatic: That's right, I first met you in that cursed place.
[16:11] Lkeas: let's hope you're not behind in your rent payments, Falerin
[16:11] Stromy: A hotel?...A place to sleep for the night for a minimal fee
[16:11] * Randal_Moonash is breathing rather heavily, obviously exasperated at something
[16:12] Kairi: Oh...that sounds like a good idea....
[16:12] Falerin: "I am more worried I was declared dead"
[16:12] * Randal_Moonash mutters something about necromancers not being around
[16:12] Falerin: "I actually own the building..... so rent is not a problem"
[16:12] Stromy: That would pose some problems
[16:12] Randal_Moonash: "Well... we could always try going down to queens... I got a place."
[16:12] Gene_Clatic: How have you been Falerin?  I hope Falerin hasn't made you slave away too badly.
[16:12] Lkeas: ah, of course, i should have known
[16:12] Hsarc: Would you rather be legally dead or an escaped convict they are trying to atch and kill?
[16:12] * Hadin glances over at Randal for a moment..."Yer young enough, lad, to be able to carry a sleeping man. So what in hell are ye panting over, hmm?"
[16:12] Falerin: "Yes that does mean I am THAT wealthy in this reality"
[16:12] * Kairi sighs
[16:12] * Randal_Moonash looks back at the man
[16:12] Azerkail: I'd assume neither.
[16:12] Falerin: "Assmuning I can access any of it"
[16:13] * Hsarc rubs his head as he hops down.
[16:13] Stromy: We could always break in...
[16:13] Randal_Moonash: "Ever have a necromancer talk in your head and no one else hear it? Thats whats been goin on. "
[16:13] Randal_Moonash: "Things like that. You try keeping your sanity"
[16:13] Stromy: Not the best of ideas, but it might be necessary to do so
[16:13] * Falerin places a hand on Revens head
[16:13] * Kairi stares at Randal
[16:13] Lkeas: no harm in trying, Fal, best to get indoors before the weather changes... again...
[16:13] * Falerin goes slack jawed momentarily
[16:13] LordBarrius: A necromancer?  What are you talking about?
[16:13] Azerkail: Stromy, I'm going to assume that this New York follows familiar laws.
[16:13] * Randal_Moonash gives a rougish wink at Kairi
[16:13] Hadin: "Nope, can't say I have...tend not to mess with them Necromancers much.  Unlife and artificial life don't tend to blend very well."
[16:13] Gene_Clatic: Wealth is good to have when forbidden to access magic.  Darn Jeice and his rules.  Sometimes I hate being his emissary.
[16:13] Stromy: It might be necessary though
[16:13] Falerin: "I can do nothing"
[16:14] Randal_Moonash: "Why... what is it?"
[16:14] * Falerin frowns
[16:14] Lkeas: is there no hope for him then?
[16:14] Stromy: Falerin, could we be going now?
[16:14] * Falerin points across the street at himself exiting a bookstore with another man carrying a laptop
[16:14] Stromy: ...I hope your penthouse has food
[16:14] Falerin: "It appears that another one of me...."
[16:14] Randal_Moonash: "Hadin.. up until yesterday.... what... in the world..."
[16:14] Falerin: "Is here already... that may complicate matters"
[16:14] Kairi: Creepy...
[16:14] Gene_Clatic: Bizzare...
[16:14] Lkeas: ...
[16:14] Hsarc: I think we need to leave.
[16:14] LordBarrius: What?  Another you?
[16:14] Stromy: Take him into the back alley maybe?
[16:14] Azerkail: I second that motion.
[16:15] * Hadin blinks for several moments, obviously remembering something. After a few moments of obvious concerned thought, he realizes that he doesn't heat the reassuring whir and twitters of his favorite artifice creation.
[16:15] Randal_Moonash: "Is that another Galrick...?"
[16:15] Lkeas: how many bloody laptops are there?!
[16:15] Gene_Clatic: Did you split yourself Falerin?  What is this?
[16:15] LordBarrius: Now I know I must be dreaming....people don't just duplicate!
[16:15] Falerin: "It does look like Galrick"
[16:15] Randal_Moonash: "Multiverse, kid"
[16:15] * Kairi pinches herself
[16:15] Lkeas: heh.
[16:15] Falerin: "Which may make that other me the Traveller"
[16:15] * Azerkail rubs his glasses.
[16:15] Hadin: "Someone still needs to tell me what the hell a laptop is...and where the hell is Useless?!?!"
[16:15] Lkeas: that would be... rather odd.
[16:15] Randal_Moonash: "Its infinite in nature, and i don't doub there are more ofus.
[16:15] Falerin: "As for it is another universe I know not"
[16:15] Stromy: ...A Galrick?
[16:15] Falerin: "It may be THE Galrick"
[16:15] Randal_Moonash: "and just a fake you?!"
[16:15] Kairi: Yes, what is a laptop?
[16:16] Falerin: "I am well aware that there was already another me in New York before I was cast out of Caelestia"
[16:16] Stromy: ...Im not familiar with the term falerin
[16:16] * Randal_Moonash pulls out the laptop from his coat
[16:16] Falerin: "A second Avatar"
[16:16] Stromy: ...Is that a good thing?
[16:16] Randal_Moonash: "This is a laptop. Its a dievice for accessing information. However... this one is special. It can actually alter reality"
[16:16] Kairi: ...
[16:16] Falerin: "Its is neither good or bad it just is"
[16:16] * Azerkail looks over Randal's shoulder.
[16:16] * Hadin gestures to the laptop securely carried in his right arm. "I know what it *looks* like, lad. The question is, where the hell did I get this one?"
[16:16] Kairi: Why would you want to alter reality?
[16:16] Randal_Moonash: "So what would happen if you shook hands?"
[16:16] Azerkail: It doesn't work now, does it?
[16:16] Stromy: ...Should we talk to him/it?
[16:16] Randal_Moonash: "Did you try acessing it?"
[16:17] * Randal_Moonash looks at hadin
[16:17] * Falerin shouts across the Street
[16:17] *** Yin-Yang has joined #EPIC.
[16:17] Falerin: "Ardendor Over here"
[16:17] Randal_Moonash: "you remind me of my father..."
[16:17] Kairi: Why would you want to alter reality?
[16:17] Stromy: Ardendor I presume is his name
[16:17] >Ambiance<: The Opposite Falerin looks up and across the street
[16:17] * Hadin is in a posture that obviously indicates that he cannot do anything regarding the laptop save hold it, since he is supporting himself on his cane.
[16:17] Randal_Moonash: "Kairi.. the man on my back set a fire. He wanted the paradox dumped on him from me putting it out and having to call off the fire department causing a temporal disturbance"
[16:17] * Falerin waves at Falerin
[16:17] Gene_Clatic: Heh, this should be interesting.
[16:17] Randal_Moonash: "Well... isn't this out of the twilight zone?"
[16:17] Lkeas: hmm.
[16:18] Stromy: ...This is...not...normal
[16:18] Hsarc: At least this is peaceful.
[16:18] >Ambiance<: The Opposite Falerin whispers something to Galrick who nods and walks off
[16:18] Randal_Moonash: "Wonder what would happen if we got them to play mirrors... or rocks paper siccors...
[16:18] * Azerkail stumbles a bit.
[16:18] * Falerin crosses the street
[16:18] Randal_Moonash: "OI! GALRICK!... buggerit..."
[16:18] * Stromy follows quickly
[16:18] Hadin: "In any case, boyo, by the looks of things yer young enough to be my grandson."
[16:18] * Randal_Moonash looks back at Hadin
[16:18] TheTraveller: Good Evening
[16:18] Stromy: Hiya
[16:18] Kairi: Um....hi....
[16:18] LordBarrius: Hello.
[16:18] Randal_Moonash: "Depends what you mean."
[16:18] * Stromy extends his hand in greeting
[16:18] Azerkail: Hello.
[16:18] TheTraveller: To what do we owe the distinct pleasure of two of us being present in the same ambit
[16:19] TheTraveller: He generally avoids that sort of thing
[16:19] Falerin: "Yes well apparently not this time"
[16:19] Stromy: A nice bout of time travel is what i make it too be
[16:19] Randal_Moonash: "Where did you get that laptop, gramps?"
[16:19] Falerin: "And not before either.. he sent Lanfire to immertot when I was still there"
[16:19] Stromy: Interesting, so you two know eachother well?
[16:19] Azerkail: Is that anyway to talk to your elders Randal?
[16:19] TheTraveller: He does work in mysterious ways... I am told he takes an secondary interest in LORE when I am there too..
[16:20] * Hadin looks back around again, noticing the knot of others gathering around the duplicate Falerins..."Hmm, interesting." Turning back to Randall, he adds with fire in his tone, "Bloody hell lad, pay some attention! For the fourth time, I've no bloody clue!"
[16:20] Falerin: "Aye"
[16:20] TheTraveller: He does work in mysterious ways... I am told he takes an secondary interest in LORE when I am there too..<Falerin> If you have not previously entered this game please allow me to provide you with an entry before you being RP
[16:20] Falerin: <Falerin> If you have previously played but not in the last session. The same applies
[16:20] Randal_Moonash: "Trust me. There isn't anyone here older than I am cept maybe Falerin over there"
[16:20] Falerin: *DAMN IT IGNORE THAT PASTE*
[16:20] Falerin: ((/me beats his keyboard to death))
[16:20] Stromy: ......?
[16:21] * Falerin looks at Hadin
[16:21] * Hadin blinks as the mention of LORE reaches his ears. "Hold a tick...who the hell mentioned LORE?"
[16:21] Stromy: Has Falerin gone mad again...
[16:21] Kairi: Who is LORE?
[16:21] LordBarrius: LORE?
[16:21] * Hadin turns and finds Falerin staring right at him.
[16:21] Randal_Moonash: "Oi, that would have been Falerin. Talking to Falerin. About Falerin."
[16:21] Hsarc: Randal, I was 25 when I went to prison. I spent many more years there. I may in fact be older then you.
[16:21] TheTraveller: "You mean you do not recognize me"
[16:21] Stromy: What in the name of all that is good is LORE?
[16:21] Randal_Moonash: "I spent four hundred years dead."
[16:21] TheTraveller: "Never managed to find your way to the Isle then..."
[16:21] * Hsarc goes back to his thoughts.
[16:21] *** Azerkail has left #EPIC.
[16:21] TheTraveller: "A shame...."
[16:22] Randal_Moonash: "Er... wait.. twenty first.. sorry... seven hundred."
[16:22] Randal_Moonash: "You loose count."
[16:22] Stromy: ...This isle that you speak of is the home to LORE?
[16:22] Hadin: "Nay, I did not. Tended to remain in my workshop tinkering away the ages."
[16:22] Kairi: Who the hell is LORE?
[16:22] >Ambiance<: Azerkail vanishes abruptly
[16:22] Lkeas: people come and go so quickly here!
[16:22] Randal_Moonash: "Er... that would be WHAT and WERE the hell..."
[16:22] >Ambiance<: Laptop chirps "Warning Paradox Has Increased in local ambit"
[16:22] Randal_Moonash: "Some other plane, its in a game called Adventure quest here..."
[16:22] Randal_Moonash: "Oh buggerit..."
[16:22] Lkeas: i have played that game..
[16:22] Kairi: Adventure quest....
[16:22] * Hsarc looks up. "400 eh? You got me beat by like 350." Hsarc goes back to what he was doing.
[16:22] Kairi: What is that?
[16:23] * Hadin hobbles over towards the Falerin addressing him. "Not that I don't know of the Isle and some of its inhabitants...what might your title be?"
[16:23] Stromy: ...That seems familiar to me...
[16:23] Kairi: Same here....
[16:23] * Randal_Moonash gestures to Reven
[16:23] Gene_Clatic: What?  Oh, that silent guy... yeah there is a resembelance.  Not sure I like Lore.  I was yanked from that planet the first time this happened to me.
[16:23] LordBarrius: A talking laptop?  This does beat all....
[16:23] Randal_Moonash: "See that? Paradox did that."
[16:23] Randal_Moonash: "Oh... I talk, and it talks back."
[16:23] Traveller: "Well another me..."
[16:23] Kairi: What is Adventure quest?
[16:23] Randal_Moonash: "It even gets better than that"
[16:23] Traveller: "Is the Librarian"
[16:23] Stromy: LORE is a planet?
[16:23] Randal_Moonash: "Its a game, Kairi, right?"
[16:23] Traveller: "Goes by the name LoreMaster"
[16:23] Randal_Moonash: "er.. not sure. I just play it durign my lunch break..."
[16:23] Kairi: A game....
[16:23] * Lkeas nods
[16:24] Kairi: And does this game have anything to do with why we are all here?
[16:24] Gene_Clatic: What are you talking about?  A game?
[16:24] Hadin: "Och, well bloody hell.  Always wanted to trade tales with the Lore Master, but never got the time to leave my workshop."
[16:24] Reality: "yes... and no"
[16:24] Stromy: So, you mean to tell me that we are transported from parallel universes?
[16:24] Randal_Moonash: "Please tell me someone ELSE heard that this time..."
[16:24] Reality: "yes... and no"
[16:24] * Kairi sighs
[16:24] Stromy: ...Could you explain that a bit further?
[16:24] Falerin: "Did that computer just reconnect to the interweb without you asking it to Marrin"
[16:24] Kairi: Can we find a place to go to sleep now?
[16:25] Randal_Moonash: "Er... Reality... have they been transported by elsewere in the multiverse to here."
[16:25] Randal_Moonash: "Yeah, it seems pretty sentient Falerin."
[16:25] Randal_Moonash: "And dangerous."
[16:25] Reality: "I connected from the other side"
[16:25] Randal_Moonash: "Oh... and rather untrustworthy..."
[16:25] * Kairi sits down
[16:25] Reality: "Most connections ARE two way you know"
[16:25] Randal_Moonash: "Oh... well, sorry then. No offense, Rhea"
[16:25] * Hadin leans heavily on his cane, thinking hard about what in the Studies of Magic any of this could mean.
[16:26] Gene_Clatic: A laptop that is smarter than you?
[16:26] * Gene_Clatic chuckles.
[16:26] Reality: "Listen there is something with you.. some force that has a rather negative energy signature... its biological but its not material"
[16:26] Randal_Moonash: "This particular laptop knocked out the powerful chaos magic user on my bac.."
[16:26] Reality: "And I cannot isolate it so I suggest you be...."
[16:26] Randal_Moonash: "who... us or me?"
[16:26] Randal_Moonash: "Wait.. you mean the beast..."
[16:26] Voice: Gauntlet level has increased beyond interambit connectability
[16:26] Gene_Clatic: Ooh, I guess that thing is dangerous.  How good is this AI?
[16:27] LordBarrius: Wait, what?  There's a beast here now too?
[16:27] Randal_Moonash: "er... I wish i actually knew what that meant... but i think we should all hold on to our underwear...
[16:27] Lkeas: you should recognize the beast... gene...
[16:27] * Lkeas shudders
[16:27] Gene_Clatic: Oh crud.
[16:27] Nicholas_Rayje: "A beast?"
[16:27] Randal_Moonash: "I think reality is about to loose a puzzle peace.."
[16:27] Randal_Moonash: "yeah. Think of something horrible that eats children. Now mae it ten times worse.
[16:27] Stromy: ...Someone try to stabalize the connection
[16:27] LordBarrius: Oh dear....
[16:27] TheTravller: Well if you will excuse me falerin I do have things to do
[16:28] Randal_Moonash: "computer.. can you stabilize the .. um.. gauntlet?"
[16:28] Falerin: "Yes whatever Falerin"
[16:28] Randal_Moonash: "thingie?"
[16:28] * Lkeas bows to the Traveller
[16:28] Lkeas: it was an honor to meet you in person
[16:28] Stromy: Falerin, I think maybe we should go to your penthouse now?
[16:28] Kairi: Yes can we please?
[16:28] * LordBarrius gives the Traveller a brief wave.
[16:28] * Falerin shakes TheTravellers hand and then begins to walk away
[16:28] Falerin: "Is the house available?"
[16:28] Lkeas: yes, Lorithia forbid the rain of blood follows us from Immertot as well...
[16:28] Gene_Clatic: I'm starting to wonder just how many avatars this Falerin god has...
[16:28] * Hadin blinks, then bows for a moment. "Tell the LoreMaster of you to stop by the Artificer's workshop...if I ever get back there."
[16:28] Hsarc: Why are you rushing? The weather is so nice.
[16:28] * Kairi yawns
[16:28] Falerin: "I was just there last night... slept over"
[16:28] Falerin: "Ok thanks"
[16:28] Kairi: Can we just go to sleep now?
[16:29] Randal_Moonash: "Er.. falerin.. when the gauntlet  increases...that means bad things happen right?"
[16:29] Lkeas: sleep... a most fearful thing
[16:29] Stromy: So what are we waiting for, sleepytime.
[16:29] Falerin: "It means that magic becomes more difficult"
[16:29] Hsarc: So pushy. What a typical NEw York attitude.
[16:29] Falerin: "Its generally not an accidental"
[16:29] Stromy: ...is the beast magical?
[16:29] Falerin: "Thing"
[16:29] Randal_Moonash: "Er... then what the HELL just happened?"
[16:29] Gene_Clatic: Not sure I'll welcome any sleep for a while.
[16:29] * Kairi sighs
[16:29] * Hadin hobbles back over beside Randall and examines that laptop with a critical eye...almost oblivious to the conversation around him as he does so.
[16:30] Falerin: "Look the Traveller says the penthouse is available"
[16:30] Falerin: "So lets go"
[16:30] Stromy: Aye!!!
[16:30] Gene_Clatic: Alright Fal.
[16:30] Randal_Moonash: "Er.. sure...
[16:30] LordBarrius: Alright then.  Lead on.
[16:30] Lkeas: point the way
[16:30] * Randal_Moonash puts the laptop back into his coat... and picks up reven
[16:30] Stromy: Anyone have any weapons?
[16:30] *** Rimblade has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[16:30] Lkeas: oh, let me help you there, Randal
[16:30] Randal_Moonash: "Can't we just leave him in a sewer somewhere? He's heavy...
[16:30] Stromy: In case this "beast" comes calling?
[16:30] * Lkeas puts her hand under Reven's shoulder
[16:31] * Falerin begins walking rapidly along Broadway crossing Union Square
[16:31] * Hadin sighs as Randall puts his laptop away, then starts hobbling after the others. Best to stay with those who wouldn't mind his presence, at least, in wholly unknown domains. Or so he thought at the time, who knew what might happen.
[16:31] Randal_Moonash: "Well, I have the laptop... maybe it can help.... though i'd feel all the better for my .45
[16:31] *** ForeverEndeavor has joined #EPIC.
[16:31] * Stromy follows
[16:31] Hsarc: Randal, would you like me to take him for a while?
[16:31] Stromy: Falerin, any chance we can make a pitstop for weaponry?
[16:31] Hsarc: Falerin, nice of you to watch for traffic....
[16:31] * Lkeas struggles with Reven and Randal trying to keep up with Falerin
[16:32] Falerin: "Oh yes... Traffic watches for us"
[16:32] Randal_Moonash: "No... I'll be fine... Oh... and I wouldnt worry about traffic... Falerin's got the New York Eye..."
[16:32] * LordBarrius walks briskly after Falerin.
[16:32] Randal_Moonash: "After a few years in the city you tend to just move around it"
[16:32] Stromy: ...what doesnt fal have?
[16:32] * Hadin struggles alongside Randal, Lkeas, and the unconcious Reven...simply that slow in trying to keep up due to his hobbling gait.
[16:32] * Nicholas_Rayje runs after Falerin.
[16:32] * Falerin walks along park avenue north
[16:32] * Randal_Moonash huffs
[16:32] * Kairi follows Nicholas
[16:32] Randal_Moonash: "this is rediculous"
[16:32] Stromy: I guess no weaponry?
[16:32] * Hsarc sighs. "Don't blame me if you get hit then." He follows along, rubbing his head, wondering what happened earlier.
[16:32] * Lkeas puffs
[16:33] Randal_Moonash: "When this guy wakes up I am SO going to kick him."
[16:33] * Hadin blows heavily against nothing.
[16:33] * Falerin crosses 19th street
[16:33] Gene_Clatic: I'd prefer to not sleep, but recent events have me fatigued.  Lkeas, would you and Randal like some help?
[16:33] LordBarrius: Hm.  Do you two want help with that?
[16:33] Lkeas: sure thing, Gene and LordBarrius could each take a leg
[16:33] *** Shock has joined #EPIC.
[16:33] * Falerin turns into an alley
[16:33] Randal_Moonash: "Good idea. Maybe we can find a convienent bridge..."
[16:33] Lkeas: an alley? strange place for a penthouse...
[16:33] * Falerin walks along the alley for some distance in silence
[16:33] * Gene_Clatic begins carrying part of Reven's weight.
[16:33] Stromy: ...Falerin uhh, are you sure this is the right place?
[16:33] * Randal_Moonash continues to follow Falerin, nearly loosing sight"
[16:34] Randal_Moonash: "This is Falerin, not all is as it seems..."
[16:34] * Stromy is on the lookout
[16:34] *** Kellehendros has joined #EPIC.
[16:34] Lkeas: true
[16:34] Falerin: "You do realize that most buildings have four sides dont you"
[16:34] LordBarrius: Still, an alley?
[16:34] Randal_Moonash: "only most"
[16:34] * Hadin yells out to Falerin as they enter the alley. "Oy! Slow down a tad...these old bones don't move that fast!"
[16:34] Gene_Clatic: Back way?
[16:34] Falerin: "In manhattan... the backside generally does exit on an alley"
[16:34] Lkeas: is there a reason we're not trying the front door?
[16:34] Stromy: ...A little bit weird for a penthouse though
[16:35] Falerin: "You want to go through the doorman?"
[16:35] Stromy: Isnt that like the best room in the place?
[16:35] Falerin: "This whole mob"
[16:35] Randal_Moonash: "Kinda wierd carrying an unconcious man past a doorman."
[16:35] Gene_Clatic: Lkeas, imagine how our entourage must look.
[16:35] Lkeas: i think we could take him
[16:35] LordBarrius: Erm, I suppose that is a good point....
[16:35] Falerin: "With an unconcious individual"
[16:35] Stromy: ...We could just say we're having a party?
[16:35] Randal_Moonash: "Though i expect we could ask the doorman to take up this luggage for us..."
[16:35] Hsarc: I'm not tipping him. Let us take the back way.
[16:35] Falerin: "I do own the building and Jake is a great guy"
[16:35] Falerin: "But he will wonder first of all why I came in wearing different clothing then I left in"
[16:35] Randal_Moonash: "ER.. by you, do you mean you you, or the other you?
[16:35] Stromy: Hmmm, does that mean we get free food?
[16:36] Falerin: "And why we have someone unconcious with us"
[16:36] Gene_Clatic: I think they all own it.
[16:36] Randal_Moonash: "drun friend?"
[16:36] Falerin: "The greater me owns the building"
[16:36] Stromy: ...To much beer?
[16:36] Randal_Moonash: "Had one too many at the pub?"
[16:36] Lkeas: alright, you've made your point
[16:36] * Kairi sighs
[16:36] Stromy: ...I thought you were all the same
[16:36] Hsarc: Fal, if you hold the power to fire him, will he persist much? I think not.
[16:36] Falerin: "The local avatar uses it whomever that intends to be"
[16:36] Randal_Moonash: "hey... "
[16:36] * Randal_Moonash grins evilly.
[16:36] Randal_Moonash: "Got any makeup or duct tape in that penthouse?
[16:36] Falerin: "I would not know"
[16:36] * Randal_Moonash looks at the comatose Reven gleefully
[16:36] * Hadin shrugs his belongings that he thinks he still has in his pockets and pauses for a moment to catch his breath.
[16:36] Falerin: "I have not been there in some time"
[16:37] Gene_Clatic: Randal, that would be mean.  Wait until he is awake to get mad.
[16:37] Stromy: Well, lets hurry along and check it out
[16:37] LordBarrius: Hm.  That's rather cruel of you to suggest.
[16:37] * Lkeas shoots Randal a look
[16:37] Stromy: Taking the stairs i presume?
[16:37] Lkeas: we have more pressing matters at hand
[16:37] * Kairi sighs
[16:37] Randal_Moonash: "OI! Its just a little fun..."
[16:37] * Falerin jumps up grabbing a fire escape and forcing it to ground leve
[16:37] Randal_Moonash: "shave... a haircut... pink fingernails... Hey.. it keeps..."
[16:37] Stromy: That also works
[16:37] Randal_Moonash: "you have GOT to be kidding me."
[16:37] LordBarrius: Great....
[16:37] Gene_Clatic: It would be funnier if he was awake Randal.
[16:37] * Stromy quickly grabs
[16:37] Randal_Moonash: "I'm not carrying him u there..."
[16:38] Stromy: I'll help
[16:38] Hsarc: Ugh. Climbing to the Penthouse? The front door seems so much more sensible now...
[16:38] * Falerin frowns
[16:38] Lkeas: hey Falerin... is the Gauntlet too high for a little levitation?
[16:38] Gene_Clatic: Hm?  That metal railing?
[16:38] Stromy: Just hand him up to me
[16:38] * Hadin looks up at the fire escape's stairs and ladders. "This old man may have some energy and spring to his step, but my old bones aren't up for that much..."
[16:38] * Falerin grabs Reven
[16:38] Stromy: Need a bit of help?
[16:38] * Falerin begins taking the fire escape two stairs at a time
[16:38] Randal_Moonash: "right. Somoene take Reven, I'll help Gramps here."
[16:38] Stromy: ...Strong man
[16:38] Gene_Clatic: Wow... tough guy.
[16:38] *** Kairi has signed off IRC (Distracted: AQStats Web Client).
[16:38] * Randal_Moonash looks at hadin
[16:38] LordBarrius: Hm.  Remind me to avoid getting him mad.
[16:38] * Hsarc follows Falerin up the fire escape.
[16:38] Lkeas: heh.
[16:38] * Gene_Clatic begins climbing.
[16:38] * LordBarrius follows quickly.
[16:38] Stromy: I;m starting to like this guy more and more
[16:38] * Hadin uses his cane to smack Randall lightly. "I ain't yer gramps.
[16:38] Randal_Moonash: "Hows your hips for a little piggie back, old man?"
[16:38] * Stromy is right behind Fal
[16:39] * Lkeas climbs up, rubbing feeling back into her arm
[16:39] Falerin: ((This fire escape is the purely zigzagging Stairs and balcony type
[16:39] * Nicholas_Rayje starts climbing...
[16:39] *** Rimblade has joined #EPIC.
[16:39] Falerin: ((It lacks ladders))
[16:39] Stromy: that makes things easier i guess
[16:39] Randal_Moonash: ((Saves time))
[16:39] Stromy: How high do we have to go
[16:39] Falerin: ((Its also clearly regularly used for egress by tenants)
[16:39] Stromy: '?
[16:39] * Hadin begins to secure the laptop within his overlarge and pocket-filled clothing before beginning to hobble his way up the stairs on his own.
[16:39] * Randal_Moonash sighs
[16:39] * Falerin just to the second landing....
[16:40] Hadin: "Wait a moment...where the hell is everything?  All my pockets are empty..."
[16:40] * Randal_Moonash folows behind Hadin carefully
[16:40] Randal_Moonash: "Did you have things with you?"
[16:40] Stromy: Don't worry as long as you have the laptop
[16:40] Hsarc: Stromy, he uses the Penthouse. That is usually the top floor.
[16:40] * Falerin stops at the second landing and taps on the edge of the window
[16:40] Stromy: ...so much for that
[16:40] Gene_Clatic: Being yanked does that to you Hadin.
[16:40] Falerin: A small touchpad opens up
[16:40] Randal_Moonash: "Brilliant, Falerin"
[16:40] * Falerin taps in a code rapidly seemingly way beyond the normal 4 digits
[16:40] Hadin: "Tools, powders, components both of mundane and spell manifest...and USELESS is gone too!"
[16:41] * Falerin opens the window
[16:41] LordBarrius: Very strange....
[16:41] * Falerin climbs in
[16:41] * Lkeas shrugs, and follows suit
[16:41] * Stromy follows quickly behind
[16:41] Randal_Moonash: "Old man we do NOT have time"
[16:41] * LordBarrius climbs in after the others.
[16:41] * Randal_Moonash urges Hadin after them
[16:41] Gene_Clatic: Hm, he must not like uninvited guests.  Heheh.
[16:41] * Nicholas_Rayje follows.
[16:41] * Hsarc climbs in. "Wow. It is much more fun to not break the windows when you go in somewhere."
[16:42] * Hadin thwaps Randall again before leveraging himself with clever manipulation of his cane through the open window.
[16:42] Randal_Moonash: "Tell you what... i still have one of my fathers texts on Earth magic. If we get out of this, I'll give it to you now move?"
[16:42] * Randal_Moonash looks down the ladder, checking if anyone followed and heads in
[16:42] Falerin: "Hurry up will you the system renegages automatically in 50 seconds
[16:42] Gene_Clatic: Earth magic?  I have a friend from Earth.
[16:42] * Stromy closes the window
[16:42] * Gene_Clatic climbs inside.
[16:42] Stromy: ...
[16:43] Randal_Moonash: "I think were all in. And welcome to earth. "
[16:43] Randal_Moonash: "Or whatever perversion this is.."
[16:43] * Falerin walks over to the elevator
[16:43] Gene_Clatic: Is that where we are?
[16:43] * Hadin follows Falerin, albiet fuming quietly.
[16:43] Randal_Moonash: "seems like it but buggered what plane or aspect of the multiverse it is."
[16:43] * Falerin types something in on the pad next to the elevator
[16:43] * Stromy makes sure to get in with the first group
[16:43] * Lkeas looks hesitantly at the small enclosed space
[16:43] * Hsarc walks into the elevator. "This will be a tight fit. No?"
[16:43] Randal_Moonash: "with infinite possibilities, we could be anywhere..."
[16:44] * Nicholas_Rayje walks in to the elevator.
[16:44] Gene_Clatic: Anyone know where to find um... Floorydah?
[16:44] * Lkeas takes a deep breath and closes her eyes before stepping inside
[16:44] Stromy: ...?
[16:44] Elevator: Welcome to Ardendor Arms. What Level
[16:44] Falerin: "Penthouse"
[16:44] * Gene_Clatic enters the elevator.
[16:44] Hsarc: Are you speaking of the southern state, Florida?
[16:44] * LordBarrius steps inside quickly.
[16:44] Elevator: Did you say Ten
[16:44] Falerin: "Penthouse"
[16:44] * Stromy follows suit
[16:44] * Hadin hobbles inside and taps at ankles to make room for himself to stand comfortably.
[16:44] Gene_Clatic: That sounds about right Hsarc.
[16:44] Elevator: Did you say Penthouse
[16:44] Elevator: Yes
[16:45] Randal_Moonash: "More voice activated stuff..."
[16:45] Elevator: Access Confirmed. Welcome Back Master Ardendor
[16:45] Hsarc: I took a trip there once. If this IS the US I am used to, go about 3,500 miles South. Should get you there, Gene.
[16:45] Hadin: "Where's that voice coming from, anyway?  I see no evident magic, nor scrying symbols..."
[16:45] Stromy: ...Don't worry about it
[16:45] Lkeas: it's electronic, Hadin.. technology.
[16:45] * Falerin points at a speaker grate at the ceiling
[16:45] Stromy: Very advanced magic
[16:46] Nicholas_Rayje: Very disturbing... many of you seem to think magic is real.
[16:46] >Ambiance<: The elevator begins climbing
[16:46] Stromy: Technology is magic to the untrained
[16:46] Gene_Clatic: My friend is supposed to be somewhere in the northern part of... Floriduh.  Such wierd names for places...

[16:46] Stromy: ...Did it just get tighter in here?
[16:46] * Hadin wrangles his cane through far enough to smack against Stromy's foot. "I know the difference between magic and artifice quite well, lad. This...is far from magic, but I know not how this artifice works. Thus why I ask."
[16:47] * Stromy flinches in pain
[16:47] LordBarrius: Hey, careful with that thing!
[16:47] >Ambiance<: The elevator stops and opens onto a vast open space
[16:47] Stromy: I was just trying to put it into terms you could understand
[16:47] * Yin-Yang winces as he is not sure where this is going.
[16:47] Falerin: "
[16:47] * Falerin exits into the penthouse apartment
[16:47] * Stromy follows like usual
[16:47] * Randal_Moonash slowly moves out after Falerin, dragging reven
[16:47] * Nicholas_Rayje follows.
[16:47] * Lkeas follows
[16:47] * Gene_Clatic heads in.
[16:47] * Falerin walks over to the fire places and presses a button the fire lights
[16:48] * LordBarrius squeezes out of the elevator and follows.
[16:48] * Kellehendros stumbles out of the elevator, very confused.
[16:48] * Hadin hobbles inside and looks about for a table or large chair...
[16:48] * Hsarc heads into the apartment and takes a seat in a desolated area.
[16:48] * Falerin collapses onto a large leather recliner
[16:48] * Stromy looks for a TV
[16:48] * Yin-Yang steps out and looks around.
[16:48] Kellehendros: Where?
[16:48] Yin-Yang: This is...nice.
[16:48] Randal_Moonash: "now can we do somethign for this guy?"
[16:48] * Falerin blinks
[16:48] Randal_Moonash: "and i wanna see more of this laptop, when we all get the chance"
[16:48] Stromy: Get some cold wateR?
[16:48] Falerin: "Where did these others come from"
[16:48] Falerin: "How did you get in here"
[16:48] Kellehendros: Um, pardon me, but where am I?
[16:48] Yin-Yang: I snuck on the elevator before the door closed.
[16:49] * Lkeas looks at Falerin
[16:49] Lkeas: i'd think of all people you'd be least surprised
[16:49] Randal_Moonash: "And... you would be the god i presume?"
[16:49] Stromy: Well, welcome Sir
[16:49] ForeverEndeavor: "I'm not sure... I just kind of found myself here..."
[16:49] Stromy: I'm Stromy
[16:49] Yin-Yang: My name is Yin Yang...I am the master of Dark and Evil, Light and Dark.

[16:49] Stromy: Welcome Ying Yang
[16:49] Falerin: The master are you
[16:49] * Falerin chuckles
[16:49] Randal_Moonash: "Oh dear.
[16:49] Kellehendros: I was in my room at the Inn, and then...
[16:49] Stromy: ...uhhh
[16:49] Randal_Moonash: "this will NOT end well..."
[16:49] Stromy: master is never a good word to use
[16:49] Yin-Yang: Well, where I come from I was.
[16:49] * Randal_Moonash quickly finds somethign to hide behind
[16:49] Falerin: "Something happened...."
[16:49] * Stromy hides
[16:49] * Hadin hobbles over to the nearest table, and sits down next to it with his legs crossed...before taking inventory of exactly how much is missing, ignoring the new arrivals as beneath his notice of importance at this time.
[16:49] Yin-Yang: Now I have no idea what, where, or who I am at the moment.
[16:50] Falerin: "Thats quite apparent"
[16:50] Falerin: "More shifting"
[16:50] ForeverEndeavor: "Shifting?"
[16:50] Stromy: I have a very bad feeling about this
[16:50] Randal_Moonash: "Is it safe?"
[16:50] Shock: I was asleep back at the library..
[16:50] * Falerin takes out a remote from a pocket at the edge of his chair and pushes a button and music begins to fill the chamber
[16:50] * LordBarrius gestures to Randal. "Looks clear to me."
[16:50] * Kellehendros looks around, "shifting?"
[16:50] Shock: did you guys Leave me again? that not nice at all..
[16:50] ForeverEndeavor: "Can someone explain a bit of this to me? What's going on here? Where are we?"
[16:50] Stromy: You will learn in time
[16:50] Randal_Moonash: "Good enoguh for me."
[16:50] Stromy: As we all did
[16:51] ForeverEndeavor: "This happened to all of you?"
[16:51] Stromy: Yes and no
[16:51] ForeverEndeavor: "Just popping up out of nowhere?"
[16:51] Randal_Moonash: "er.. Something like that.
[16:51] Stromy: Yes
[16:51] * Lkeas flops down on the carpet, listening to the music
[16:51] * Yin-Yang looks at Falerin and extends a hand.
[16:51] Stromy: With some twists
[16:51] * Hadin looks over towards Falerin while his fingers play across his cane, opening a miriad of secret compartments revealing naught but emptiness. "More artifice, this music?"
[16:51] Hsarc: Nice music.
[16:51] * Randal_Moonash removes the laptop placing it on a convienient table
[16:51] Yin-Yang: Its nice to meet you...ummm...
[16:51] Kellehendros: Somehow that's not very reassuring.
[16:51] Randal_Moonash: "Its electronic, gramps"
[16:51] * Stromy goes to take a look at the laptop
[16:51] * Hsarc rubs his head. "Ugh. What a lump." He slowly drifts out of consciousness again.
[16:51] Stromy: May I?
[16:51] Lkeas: hmm... sounds familiar. i think i have the lyrics archived somewhere...

[16:53] * LordBarrius raises an eyebrow. "I'm not going near that laptop. It frightens me."
[16:53] Randal_Moonash: "Pretty much"
[16:53] Randal_Moonash: "computer... turn on.."
[16:53] Randal_Moonash: "er.. activate or whatever."

[16:53] Kellehendros: I'm, a bit lost as of the moment...

[16:54] Yin-Yang: So...*looks at Falerin* this is your place?
[16:54] Stromy: mabye i should start pressing buttons?
[16:54] * Hsarc drifts back into consciousness, and sits up. He slams his head into a nearby lamp, and flies back down into the floor, with a small 'Thump!' He passes out again.
[16:54] * Hadin nods, adding with a whisper "Magic still works better..." before taking off two layers of thin fabric coats adorned with pockets. Proving to himself that *everything* is gone, he regards the laptop he had been holding since arriving in this area...
[16:54] * Randal_Moonash shurgs
[16:54] Randal_Moonash: "I'd leave well enough alone. This machine has a mind of its own."
[16:54] * LordBarrius glances over and Hsarc and shakes his head.
[16:54] Stromy: I think I'll just leave it be
[16:54] Shock: yes..good idea..
[16:54] Randal_Moonash: "I dont want another case like Reven's over there."
[16:55] Randal_Moonash: "Then i'd have to carry TWO people around"
[16:55] Shock: so where did Reality get off to if you dont mind my asking
[16:55] Stromy: Falerin, I think now would be a good time to fill everyone in on the ongoing adventure that we are having
[16:55] Randal_Moonash: "Yeah.. sounds smart. Mind telling us all what the hell is going on?"
[16:55] Stromy: And turn that music down
[16:55] ForeverEndeavor: "Yeah... I'm not sure who Falerin is, but someone needs to tell me why I'm here and what is going on!"

[16:56] Voice: Where would you like to go today
[16:57] Shock: its back..
[16:57] Randal_Moonash: "Here is fine"
[16:57] LordBarrius: What?
[16:57] ForeverEndeavor: "What? What's back?"
[16:57] Shock: you sure?
[16:57] * Kellehendros whispers to himself, "home would be nice."
[16:57] Stromy: I would like to be informed about what is going on sir.
[16:57] Shock: where is here anyway? i was asleep.
[16:57] Nicholas_Rayje: Where, what and why?
[16:58] * ForeverEndeavor looks at the laptop.
[16:58] Lkeas: we need information, the Sigma Directive has been invoked, we need to prepare..
[16:58] Voice: Please Restate your Request
[16:58] ForeverEndeavor: "Is that where that voice came from?"
[16:58] Kellehendros: The sigma directive? What is that?
[16:58] Randal_Moonash: "Er.. that would be the laptop"
[16:58] Stromy: Falerin, where do you suggest we go?
[16:58] Nicholas_Rayje: I'm highly confused about all this... nonsense, mind giving me some answers?
[16:58] Randal_Moonash: "Just transerfing locations is useless."
[16:58] Stromy: Lets wait until we come to a consensus to answer
[16:58] Falerin: I am beyond giving answers
[16:58] Randal_Moonash: "We need information. And Lkeas there seems to know something."
[16:58] * Yin-Yang begins thinking.
[16:58] Falerin: this is your problem not mine
[16:58] * Hadin turns it over several times, examining the casing with great scrutiny, noting several oddities of form with unknown function, as well as a few mechanical devices that even he recognizes as the occasional screw.
[16:58] Randal_Moonash: "and why is that?"
[16:58] Stromy: Don't ask questions
[16:59] Yin-Yang: Your world is so much different from mine, so I am not much help.
[16:59] Lkeas: i do know some things... i keep an archive, of sorts
[16:59] Stromy: Can we go to places not on this world?
[16:59] Randal_Moonash: "Why not? The day gods dont answer is the day they die."
[16:59] Randal_Moonash: "we can. Whats the point?
[16:59] ForeverEndeavor: " 'Sigma Directive', 'shifting', intelligent computers. What the heck is going on here?"
[16:59] Stromy: Could we try to go to this LORE place?
[16:59] Randal_Moonash: "Sigma directive i think i heard once."
[17:00] * Kellehendros looks up at the word LORE.
[17:00] Falerin: "Good... Dying would be a relief"
[17:00] Shock: i have
[17:00] LordBarrius: Well, enlighten me please.
[17:00] Shock: i think
[17:00] Stromy: Falerin was discusing this with himself earlier
[17:00] Stromy: Should we go to LORE?
[17:00] Shock: Thats one of the networks it can conntect to, no?
[17:00] Stromy: Maybe?
[17:00] Randal_Moonash: "I dont think so ... yet."
[17:00] Stromy: Does anyone want to try going to LORE?
[17:00] Randal_Moonash: "Falerin. you wish to die?"
[17:00] *** ForeverEndeavor has signed off IRC (Distracted: ).
[17:00] Lkeas: his deity would not let him die
[17:01] Stromy: Dont kill Falerin yet, we need him
[17:01] * Hadin begins poking at various clasps curiously, while muttering "LORE is my realm and my home. There a reason you choose to discuss it as if I am not here?" Then, suddenly, one of the clasps causes the screen to pop up slightly, which he opens to his amazement.
[17:01] Stromy: ...If you even can

[17:02] Falerin: "I am disinterested in LORE"
[17:02] * Lkeas walks over to Falerin
[17:02] Lkeas: The'Galin would find you here too
[17:02] Falerin: "I am disinterested in being yanked arround like a puppet"
[17:02] Stromy: ...So much for that idea
[17:02] LordBarrius: Well, that's just great.
[17:02] Randal_Moonash: "Falerin... you lie. Why can i hear the voices of people in my head... like Galrick?"
[17:02] Falerin: "And I am disinterested in all of this....."
[17:02] * Hadin smacks Stromy's foot with his cane. "One question at a time, and stop being a blathering idiot demanding that your question be first."
[17:02] Falerin: "You might ask the God"
[17:02] Stromy: "The God?"
[17:03] Lkeas: death would be a blessing compared to what the Uncreator would do to all of us
[17:03] Kellehendros: Falerin, how can you be disinterested in your life?
[17:03] * Hadin returns to examining his laptop, prodding the screen for a moment before looking over the keys carefully.
[17:03] Falerin: "I was dead... I was at peace"
[17:03] Falerin: "I moved on and was yanked back to life by the God"
[17:03] Gene_Clatic: Yeah, the yanking is annoying.  I was relaxing in my personal quarters of King Jeice's castle on Odeycia.
[17:03] Randal_Moonash: "I was dead once too."
[17:03] Stromy: "God, where do you think we should go?"
[17:03] Kellehendros: You were brought back, surely for a purpose though...
[17:03] Randal_Moonash: "Had my head unscrewed like it was the top of a bottle cap. I dont remember anything in between."
[17:04] *** Rimblade has signed off IRC (Broken pipe).
[17:04] Falerin: "I am sick of being pulled all over... and now its not just the God... the world itself appears to be doinging it"
[17:04] Falerin: "At its whim"
[17:04] Falerin: "And I am sick of it"
[17:04] Lkeas: the world itself... is that how i was brought here?
[17:04] Lkeas: have the planes become so unstable?
[17:04] * Hadin looks between Falerin and Randal curiously.
[17:04] Falerin: "Let your LoreMaster or this Traveller deal with it"
[17:04] Randal_Moonash: "then at least die in a worthy cause."
[17:04] Falerin: "I am done...."
[17:04] Stromy: ...
[17:04] Shock: i see..
[17:04] Kellehendros: Are you not the LoreMaster?
[17:04] Falerin: "This version of Falerin is through kaput"
[17:04] Falerin: "I AM NOT"
[17:04] Shock: No he is not.
[17:04] Stromy: I believe we should go to the location of this Traveler
[17:04] Falerin: "I share his name and basic appearance"
[17:04] Hadin: "Like hell you are.  The Lore Master wouldn't give up, and you and he are one and the same as far as I am concerned."
[17:04] Randal_Moonash: "Then who the HELL are you Falerin?"
[17:04] Shock: He is the Loremaster's slave
[17:04] Falerin: "But that is it"
[17:05] Randal_Moonash: "Who are you. Not what a god made you to be.
[17:05] Shock: and its simply not fair
[17:05] * Randal_Moonash stands suddenly
[17:05] Randal_Moonash: "Who are you. In your own eyes."
[17:05] * Kellehendros is confused, "but in LORE Falerin is the LoreMaster..."
[17:05] Lkeas: this Falerin... this Avatar has been somewhat neglected...
[17:05] Falerin: "I am the same Falerin you were travelling with Randal... the same one Lkeas was with"
[17:05] * LordBarrius sighs heavily and takes a seat on the floor. "This is all rather frustrating."
[17:05] Falerin: "But I am quite sick of the game"
[17:05] Lkeas: do not blame him
[17:05] Lkeas: he has lost his family
[17:05] Randal_Moonash: "I said in your OWN eyes."
[17:05] Randal_Moonash: "Not ours."
[17:05] Gene_Clatic: He is a slave from birth is what he is.
[17:05] Falerin: "I DO NOT OWN MY EYES"
[17:05] Falerin: "THE BLOODY GOD OWNS THEM"
[17:06] Randal_Moonash: "You underestimate your own will."
[17:06] Stromy: Shall we ask the God where we should go?
[17:06] Falerin: "In fact I embrace this The'Galin"
[17:06] * Randal_Moonash moves over to falerin
[17:06] Kellehendros: Falerin, please, calm yourself, there must be a rational solution.
[17:06] Falerin: "I hope he does destroy ALL things"
[17:06] Randal_Moonash: "You are who YOU are."
[17:06] Kellehendros: WHAT?
[17:06] Shock: This god-avatar relationship simply is not fair at all..
[17:06] Stromy: Someone please calm Fal
[17:06] * Falerin stands and goes to a bar
[17:06] * Hsarc rolls over on the floor and sits up, rubbing his head. He sees that the room is still full of people chatting. "Anybody have a bag of ice?"
[17:06] * LordBarrius stands rapidly. "ALL things?"
[17:06] * Falerin poors himself a very large drink
[17:06] * Hadin mutters a single word, "Coward...", before prodding his laptop further. By luck or chance, he manages to hit the power buttin on only the fourth try.
[17:06] Stromy: ...Is this a good thing
[17:06] Falerin: Oblivion and total nonexistance is preferable to this life
[17:06] Kellehendros: Falering, The'Galin would unmake us all.
[17:06] Shock: If your not in his control here, can you die here?
[17:07] Gene_Clatic: Falerin, try asking the god to replace you with another.  Maybe if you bother him enough, he'll prepare a replacement and let you die.
[17:07] Randal_Moonash: "Then at least join us in oblivion. You know what comes to us. IF youre so willing to accept death, why dont you at least die having a bit of fun. One last stand?"
[17:07] Falerin: He ignores me
[17:07] Kellehendros: Yet while life endures surely there is Hope.
[17:07] Shock: Or have Morgan take you here
[17:07] Randal_Moonash: "Do what YOU want to do not what a god wants you to do."
[17:07] Stromy: Maybe we should ask this god for answers as Falerin suggested
[17:07] Lkeas: he does not, Falerin, on the contrary he watches you, otherwise Morgan would have had you by now
[17:07] Falerin: "He cannot"
[17:07] Shock: He is alot nicer then your current master.
[17:07] LordBarrius: Morgan?
[17:07] * Falerin stands erect suddenly his clothing changing into a Purple Suit
[17:08] Lkeas: Morgan is a necromancer...
[17:08] Shock: I thought that Falerin has no control over you here?
[17:08] Stromy: ...uhhh
[17:08] Stromy: Hello Falerin?
[17:08] * Lkeas bows to the deity
[17:08] Gene_Clatic: Ah, hello Falerin.
[17:08] LordBarrius: What in the....
[17:08] Nicholas_Rayje: What the...
[17:08] * Kellehendros blinks, "now that looks like the LoreMaster..."
[17:08] Shock: wait what..
[17:08] * Randal_Moonash wrinkles his nose
[17:08] Lkeas: might you slap some sense into your Avatar, please?
[17:08] Stromy: I think this may be the god
[17:08] Falerin: "That is because I am"
[17:08] Shock: Huh?
[17:08] * Hadin turns at the expressions of surprise, noting the purple suit with a raised eyebrow.
[17:08] Stromy: Where do you suggest we go Sir LoreMaster
[17:08] Kellehendros: "God?"
[17:08] Falerin: "I am your LoreMaster"
[17:08] Falerin: "And the God of Caelestia"
[17:08] Shock: Then where is...who was...the Avatar?
[17:09] LordBarrius: A god, are you?
[17:09] * Kellehendros blinks, "but they said, oh."
[17:09] Gene_Clatic: For the sake of your servant, I have a request Falerin.  Will you hear me?
[17:09] Stromy: Then, you can help us?
[17:09] Nicholas_Rayje: Caelestia, what the heck is that?
[17:09] Hadin: "Well met, LoreMaster."
[17:09] * Kellehendros bows.
[17:09] Falerin: "He was and is my agent to Immertot in the plains of instabilty as the Gods seek to understand the workings of that place better"
[17:09] Randal_Moonash: "Yet he is unwilling."
[17:09] Falerin: "Unfortuantely for him his life has been neither easy nor fair"
[17:09] * Randal_Moonash stands erect
[17:09] Shock: Then how long have we been with you and not him?
[17:09] Lkeas: how did he and we get pulled here from Immertot?
[17:09] Falerin: "And he is naturally rebelling against what has happened to him"
[17:09] Shock: just up untill now?
[17:10] Stromy: That much we gathered
[17:10] Stromy: What did happen to him though?
[17:10] Gene_Clatic: Could you begin preparing a replacement, and let him die when the replacement is ready?  Perhaps that position would not be so disdained if they knew it wasn't for forever.
[17:10] Kellehendros: You cannot release him from this service then?
[17:10] Falerin: He cannot die Gene....
[17:10] Shock: He would proboly be more willing to serve you if you released him anyway.
[17:10] Hadin: "Ye have chosen a coward, based upon his choices just now.  Not you best of form, LoreMaster, from the tales I have heard...so perhaps you can share with us the tale that holds the key to adding courage to his spine, and inspiration to his heart?"
[17:10] Falerin: "He is but a peice of my soul and being"
[17:11] Randal_Moonash: "and what if he wants to?"
[17:11] Falerin: "he always IS...."
[17:11] Gene_Clatic: A piece of your own soul?
[17:11] Randal_Moonash: "you may be a god, but everyone deserves the right to death."
[17:11] Stromy: ...We are off subject, we need to find somewhere to go as the voice requested us to do
[17:11] Falerin: "It is easy to call cowardice the weariness of ages"
[17:11] LordBarrius: I don't know about the "right" to death.  I'm not ready to die just yet myself.
[17:12] Lkeas: i don't know about you stromy, but i rather enjoy being away from the place where my death seemed imminent...
[17:12] Falerin: "When you have seen what he has for as long then you might have a right to judge him"
[17:12] Randal_Moonash: "there are those who wish to die. Let them be free."
[17:12] Randal_Moonash: "Prove it.
[17:12] Lkeas: or rather... undeath
[17:12] Falerin: "Untill then you are mere popinjay of strong opinion but little import"
[17:12] Kellehendros: Falerin, your, um, host, said that he was ready to join with The'Galin rather then serve you.
[17:12] Randal_Moonash: "For his sake. Prove it."
[17:12] Randal_Moonash: "He doesn't like you for this very reason."
[17:12] Stromy: ...Do not provoke him
[17:12] Stromy: We need his help
[17:12] Randal_Moonash: "I know... but we also need his avatar's"
[17:12] LordBarrius: Hmpf. Well, they can cling to that if they wish.
[17:13] Falerin: "What is it you would like me to prove Randal"
[17:13] Gene_Clatic: Well then Falerin, could you bring that part of you back in when you have a replacement ready?
[17:13] * Hadin rests his chin on his cane, raises an eyebrow imperiously at the LoreMaster, but remains silent. Age brought many things, and with it, the patience to wait for the answer that would come.
[17:13] Shock: Falerin, you may be the god of evil, but how can you be this cold? he may still serve you if you release him but as a servent not a slave.
[17:13] Randal_Moonash: "now i dont know anything about the'galin... or any of that, but i do know when someone is in pain..."
[17:13] Stromy: His avatar didnt seem to be helping much
[17:13] * Hsarc walks over to the group while rubbing his head, as he is less dizzy now. "So, is there anyway I can be sent back to Immertot? I liked it there so much...."
[17:13] Falerin: "If I desired him  to be mindless I could make him feel and think what I wanted him to feel and think"
[17:13] Falerin: "I do not desire him to be mindless. Some of my other Avatar are... just projections of me with no independence whatsoever"
[17:13] Stromy: Why don't you just manifest youself in a different way?
[17:13] Lkeas: that sounds rather more like a golem than an avatar
[17:13] Shock: then ask if he wants that and if he does do so.
[17:13] Randal_Moonash: "How does he know that. Why dont you let him live his own life?!"
[17:13] Kellehendros: What of this one, and his desire to join The'Galin?
[17:14] Falerin: "I do...."
[17:14] Hadin: "Or most creatures born of artifice, Lkeas."
[17:14] Randal_Moonash: "he didn't ask for this..."
[17:14] Stromy: Maybe Falerin avatar has a purpose
[17:14] Randal_Moonash: "He didnt ask to be brought back"
[17:14] Lkeas: that was not his choice to make
[17:14] Falerin: "Unfortunately for him.. his own life invovles being pulled in and out of immertot
[17:14] Stromy: Maybe it was necessary though
[17:14] Falerin: he blames me for what happens to him
[17:14] Falerin: but it is not my doing in general
[17:14] Stromy: How is it not?
[17:14] Kellehendros: Could you not explain this to him?
[17:14] LordBarrius: Then who is responsible for it?
[17:14] Randal_Moonash: "No, but he doesn't see that."
[17:14] Shock: Mabye you sould tell this to him and not us then.
[17:14] Falerin: other then the fact that I did let him get away with being yanked OUT of immertot via manipulation
[17:15] Falerin: The only times I have directly intervened it has been in his favor
[17:15] Randal_Moonash: "Was er.. that the laptop's fault?"
[17:15] Stromy: Manipulation?
[17:15] Falerin: I have told it to him
[17:15] Stromy: You intevening in his life has caused him nothing but harm it seems to me
[17:15] Falerin: He knows it as well as I do
[17:15] Randal_Moonash: He doesnt see it.
[17:15] Falerin: he is WEARY though
[17:15] Randal_Moonash: "Who isnt?!"
[17:15] Falerin: and he needs to lash out somewhere
[17:15] Stromy: Why not choose a new host?
[17:15] Kellehendros: Weary enough to accept uncreation over life?
[17:16] Falerin: That descision can seem very appealing
[17:16] LordBarrius: Sounds a bit extreme to me.
[17:16] Shock: He obviosly has no use to you any more
[17:16] Kellehendros: How long has he lived?
[17:16] Falerin: Is that obvious
[17:16] Shock: Kill him or let him free.
[17:16] Falerin: It is fortunate then that he is not beholden to you
[17:16] Stromy: Do we not need his knowledge though?
[17:16] Falerin: He does not actually want to die you know
[17:16] Falerin: he is ranting
[17:16] Kellehendros: He cannot kill him that would be like killing himself.
[17:16] Shock: Oh.
[17:16] Falerin: He is only fortunate that I am his shield
[17:17] Randal_Moonash: "I know. But in order to rant he needs to be allowed to rant"
[17:17] * Hadin frowns as he considers the possibility voiced..."So...even though at the brink of death a mortal man may still cling to life no matter the cost of suffering, it is not the same with a God and his manifestations?"
[17:17] Falerin: were one of you to make a similiar rant
[17:17] Kellehendros: Shield from what?
[17:17] Randal_Moonash: "people need outlets, Falerin"
[17:17] Falerin: The'Galin might answer
[17:17] Randal_Moonash: "We are not gods."
[17:17] Lkeas: then The'Galin watches even here?
[17:17] * Kellehendros winces at that thought.
[17:17] Stromy: The Galin?
[17:17] Falerin: The'Galin has in fact murdered one of my avatar already
[17:17] Randal_Moonash: "Who the hell is the'galin!?"
[17:17] Falerin: Or more precisely his Agents have
[17:17] Kellehendros: The'Galin actually, a force that sets itself against life itself.
[17:17] Shock: I have heard of him in the lore of my world..
[17:17] Kellehendros: Agents?
[17:17] Lkeas: ah... Agents again.
[17:18] Falerin: Of course I simply recreated him
[17:18] Stromy: Why wiykd The'Galin help us then?
[17:18] Kellehendros: He didn't like that.
[17:18] Falerin: but it sucked
[17:18] Stromy: he seems to dislike you
[17:18] Kellehendros: sucked?
[17:18] Hadin: "Hmph, mere legends until now...where I am suddenly supposed to accept it as truth?"
[17:18] Falerin: You had better Hadin
[17:18] Falerin: The Devourer is coming to your world
[17:18] Falerin: and quicker then most think
[17:18] Shock: He is comeing to them all.
[17:18] Falerin: And his effect will be profound
[17:18] Kellehendros: The LoreMaster knows that of which he speaks.
[17:18] Lkeas: why are we wasting time here then?
[17:18] Stromy: Is this "our" world?
[17:19] Lkeas: what is our purpose in Manhattan, of all places??
[17:19] Stromy: We dont know where to go
[17:19] Falerin: You act as if all of you are from the same world
[17:19] Kellehendros: How profound? What can we do to stop it?
[17:19] Falerin: Thats absolute nonsense
[17:19] Shock: All worlds are ours is what i have learned from this all.
[17:19] Falerin: You come from the nine corners of the multiverse
[17:19] Falerin: as it were
[17:19] Randal_Moonash: "Then where do we go, 'god'.
[17:19] Stromy: Then how is it coming to "our" world
[17:19] Falerin: And some of the people here do not even come from this multiverse
[17:19] Falerin: but from another one
[17:19] Kellehendros: Yet you say that The'Galin goes to LORE, how can we stop him, or try to?
[17:19] Gene_Clatic: That might be me I think.
[17:19] Stromy: ...?
[17:19] LordBarrius: Then why, praytell, are we all being brought here?
[17:20] Lkeas: that may be so, Falerin... but we all have ties to LORE, somehow
[17:20] Lkeas: or do we?
[17:20] Falerin: That sir you would have to ask the Univese it self
[17:20] * Lkeas looks at the assembled
[17:20] Hadin: "Threats have come and gone upon the face of LORE before.  I, for one, am certain that those younger than I, and that those more powerful than I, shall mete out the same passionate defiance and drive the Devourer off.  I, for one, see my life not lasting until that day."
[17:20] Shock: He will destroy all worlds.
[17:20] * Kellehendros nods.
[17:20] Falerin: Though in my experience the Universe rarely responds
[17:20] Falerin: Even to the Gods
[17:20] Shock: Heh.
[17:20] * Randal_Moonash burps
[17:20] * LordBarrius sighs. "Then I'm not likely to get an answer to that."
[17:20] Kellehendros: Why would it not respond when its very exsistance is at stake?
[17:20] Stromy: Your avatar said that you could help tell us where to go, so would you please do so?
[17:21] Falerin: Likely that is WHY it is yanking your arround
[17:21] Kellehendros: I see.
[17:21] Falerin: it is responding to threats
[17:21] Falerin: not only to The'Galin but to many others
[17:21] Stromy: "it" being The'Galin?
[17:21] Randal_Moonash: "Falerin, why was I sent that laptop?"
[17:21] Kellehendros: We are here to stop a threat of uncreation to a world?
[17:21] Stromy: aparently not
[17:21] LordBarrius: Then there is a threat here?
[17:21] Falerin: Like this beast that you are dealing with
[17:21] Lkeas: the faceless beast...
[17:21] Stromy: We do not even know of this beast yet
[17:21] Gene_Clatic: Stromy, you looked confused.  I said that because my world has no records of any Falerin... yet.
[17:21] Falerin: Well I used to send ten sided polyhedra....
[17:21] * Kellehendros frowns, a faceless?
[17:21] Gene_Clatic: Just a guess on my part.
[17:21] Falerin: They worked well on primitive worlds
[17:21] Shock: Was the beast that wich made that roar a while back?
[17:22] Shock: a ten sided polywah?
[17:22] Randal_Moonash: "Ten sided dice?"
[17:22] Falerin: The laptop was actually originally sent to Galrick actually
[17:22] Falerin: but he lost it and I had to replace his
[17:22] Kellehendros: More of a geometric figure then dice.
[17:22] Stromy: is that pertinant?
[17:22] Shock: You replaced his?
[17:22] Randal_Moonash: "then why was one sent to me?
[17:22] Falerin: When You lost the first one... I arranged for it to make its way back to you
[17:23] Falerin: Or the Traveller did
[17:23] Randal_Moonash: "... you? why?"
[17:23] Falerin: for me
[17:23] Kellehendros: Is the Traveller another part of you?
[17:23] * Hadin levers himself up slowly, and hobbles over to stand before Falerin the LoreMaster. "So, it is as it always seems to be in the greatest tales. Tis up to the lives and actions of mortals to do what even the Lords and Gods cannot?"
[17:23] Randal_Moonash: "It's gotten us nowere, except one man being completely out of it..."
[17:23] * Randal_Moonash points at reven
[17:23] Falerin: "As I said.. I used to send the ten sided dice.. they did many of the same things.. but the Laptop seemed more appropo in the New York Environment"
[17:23] Shock: Only becuase you all decided to burn books...
[17:24] Shock: oh..
[17:24] Gene_Clatic: Oh yeah, Falerin, can you do something about that Reven guy?
[17:24] Stromy: But how long are we staying here?
[17:24] Kellehendros: Pardon, but what is a laptop?
[17:24] Falerin: "I could not sya
[17:24] Shock: Why did you send this?
[17:24] Falerin: "It is an artifact of knowledge"
[17:24] Falerin: "It is a gateway to me and what I know"
[17:24] Shock: What for?
[17:24] Falerin: "And it is a key"
[17:24] Shock: Oh..
[17:24] Kellehendros: Oh, thank you.
[17:24] LordBarrius: A key to what?
[17:24] Shock: To what?
[17:24] Stromy: Again as I've been saying, your avatar said that you would help us find our destination
[17:24] Falerin: "I cannto always come to your aid"
[17:24] Randal_Moonash: "A  key to ... power?"
[17:25] Falerin: "You need to be able to function with my avatar and your own ingenuity"
[17:25] Randal_Moonash: "you think you could at least tell us how to use it.."
[17:25] Shock: Then can you not help us kill the beast?
[17:25] Stromy: So we are just going to stay here and do nothing?
[17:25] Falerin: "If anything is to survive you must learn to work together cohesively and make the best of tools that appear to you"
[17:25] LordBarrius: Hmpf.  That doesn't bode well.
[17:25] Shock: And get a better AI interface please at least
[17:25] Falerin: "But the tools are OFTEN as dangerous as the things you fight"
[17:25] Falerin: "So you must learn that too...."
[17:25] Stromy: We dont even know the whole story, how can we make decisions?
[17:25] Kellehendros: Keys open doors and chests, a key to a treasure, perhaps?
[17:26] Falerin: "The AI in that computer is more advanced then anything in this current world"
[17:26] Falerin: "
[17:26] Stromy: A key to travel?
[17:26] Randal_Moonash: "So it seems. But i cant even use it."
[17:26] Shock: Its confuseing though
[17:26] Shock: Make it Moonash compatibul
[17:26] Yin-Yang: Indeed.
[17:26] Randal_Moonash: "None of us can"
[17:26] Falerin: "You need to figure those things out yourself..."
[17:26] Falerin: "I cannot provide you with answers"
[17:26] * Hadin nods, regardless of whether or not Falerin's answer was an evasion, and returns to his laptop. "So, I was chosen...but why me?" His mumbling whispers are drowned out by the rest of the conversation. "The hack? The tinkerer? I've never acted in haste, not in many long years, and yet time is evidently at the crux of things..." Though he listens to the others, his attention returns to the screen of his laptop.
[17:26] Stromy: We have been trying
[17:26] Shock: ah i see...
[17:26] Falerin: "You would learned nothing"
[17:27] Shock: We should only live if we are to live
[17:27] Stromy: We need the facts to be able to make decisions
[17:27] Yin-Yang: See, I can't help you with any of this because non of this exists in my world.
[17:27] Falerin: "The'Galin is a universal
[17:27] Randal_Moonash: "Fine. Can you at least help us with reven?"
[17:27] LordBarrius: If I'm to understand this correctly, Yin-Yang, none are safe.
[17:27] Falerin: "When he is done with one world he will move to another"
[17:27] Falerin: "Your world will not be long safe"
[17:27] Kellehendros: Can he be stopped?
[17:27] Shock: Thats why he is in the lore of my world as well..
[17:27] Falerin: "Which is why caelestia is interested in him"
[17:27] Stromy: Does The'Galin have a corpral form? and is it malevolent?
[17:28] * Falerin walks over to Reven
[17:28] Yin-Yang: But all these things *points to laptop* I have no clue what that even is.
[17:28] Stromy: Finally some progress
[17:28] * Falerin pours his drink on Reven's head
[17:28] Shock: What are you doing to him?
[17:28] Lkeas: you will learn, yin-yang, if you want to survive
[17:28] * Falerin falls
[17:28] Shock: How will..
[17:28] Stromy: He's leaving?
[17:28] Shock: Falerin?!
[17:28] Randal_Moonash: "er.."
[17:28] * Falerin changes back intothe other form
[17:28] LordBarrius: ?
[17:28] Hsarc: So this 'Galin' is a destroyer of worlds?
[17:28] Hsarc: Interesting.
[17:28] Yin-Yang: Oh, this can't be good.
[17:28] Randal_Moonash: "So it appears."
[17:28] * Kellehendros kneels over Falerin, "Falerin?"
[17:28] Yin-Yang: Excuse me a minute, I need to sit down and think about this.
[17:28] * LordBarrius rushes to Falerin's side.
[17:28] Stromy: Now we need to try and decide where to go
[17:28] * Hadin whistles as he watches Falerin's 'folly' in his peripheral vision.
[17:28] Shock: So the god has left the building..
[17:29] * Randal_Moonash moves over to reven and gives him a good kick
[17:29] Stromy: And his avatar has returned
[17:29] Shock: Reven, you ok?
[17:29] Gene_Clatic: So the god of evil is gone again.  What did he do to Reven?
[17:29] * Yin-Yang sits down on the ground in the corner and begins to think.
[17:29] Lkeas: heh. baptized him apparently
[17:29] * Kellehendros gives Falerin a light shake, calling his name.

[17:30] * Kellehendros is hit by the spalsh, "have a care, fool." Looks back at Falerin.
[17:30] * Reven draws a dagger.
[17:30] Gene_Clatic: Hello Reven.  You've been asleep since before I met you.

[17:30] * Reven turns and sees the unconscious figure of Falerin.

[17:31] Stromy: ...?
[17:31] Reven: Ah.
[17:31] Reven: Someone remembers me.
