[16:27] *** FrogPlushie has signed off IRC (Exterminated: When the coffee is first-rate, so is everything else. All right, let's go fight a war!).

 [16:27] Little_Brown_Box: Lemme see...

 [16:27] Selarep: Does anyone have an idea of how far away it is?

 [16:27] Little_Brown_Box: We went thata way, then thata way, and then the other way...

 [16:28] Selarep: ...

 [16:28] Little_Brown_Box: I think I know the general direction we need to go.

 [16:28] Genoclysm: Then point it out, box.

 [16:28] * Eitak_Razal sighs and looks for a local to flag down.

 [16:28] * Plushie-chan bends over and drops a purple liquid on a plant. It does a little jig then returns to normal.

 [16:29] Little_Brown_Box: Lesse, the chariot last night was going...right!

 [16:29] * Adam_Hartholm shrugs, and holding the box under his left arm, sets off down the street to the right.

 [16:29] * Grett begins slowly walking in the direction that the box suggested.

 [16:30] Little_Brown_Box: We're gonna have a festivity!

 [16:30] * Nick keeps walking his way.

 [16:30] Deathbringer: Aye, that we are.

 [16:30] * Useless continues to hold onto Lkeas' shoulder, watching as they travel

 [16:30] * Selarep walks in that directin

 [16:31] Adam_Hartholm: I'm rather surprised it isn't raining.

 [16:31] Selarep: (direction*)

 [16:31] Deathbringer: I enjoy the rain. I almost wish it was...

 [16:31] Malcolm: it would be nice to have some rain again

 [16:31] Eitak_Razal: Meh I hate the rain.

 [16:31] Malcolm: anyways lets set off, I want to get there before midnight

 [16:31] Deathbringer: Hehe

 [16:32] Genoclysm: This walk is boring.  Could we pick up the pace?

 [16:32] *** BigX has left #epic.

 [16:32] * Malcolm heads after Lkeas

 [16:32] Plushie-chan: rain is nurishment for plants... Plus its fun to splash in the puddles.

 [16:32] Adam_Hartholm: Wanna race Geno?

 [16:33] Selarep: I'll race. I've been doing some "rough" training.

 [16:33] Genoclysm: I don't know the way well enough to race.

 [16:33] * Adam_Hartholm grins. "Then follow me. Which way, Counterfeit?"

 [16:33] Little_Brown_Box: Uh...

 [16:34] Little_Brown_Box: Uhm...

 [16:34] * Nick takes a drink, still walking.

 [16:34] Little_Brown_Box: Kinda....left?

 [16:34] Adam_Hartholm: You sure?

 [16:34] Little_Brown_Box: No.

 [16:34] Selarep: ...

 [16:35] Adam_Hartholm: That's supremely unhelpful. Fine, we go left.

 [16:35] Malcolm: heh

 [16:35] Durroth: great

 [16:35] Deathbringer: Heh. Box, did you forget it with all that booze you had last night?

 [16:35] * Grett is still walking slowly behind, somehow managing to keep up well enough to see them.

 [16:35] Little_Brown_Box: Yeah, thinking about last night makes my circuits feel fuzzy.

 [16:35] >Ambiance<: The Show that Diviara of Echligor called "Intriguing" and the show that completely silenced Wes

 [16:35] * Useless blinks at the mention of THAT particular name

 [16:35] Malcolm: Follow the voice

 [16:35] Adam_Hartholm: Right!

 [16:35] Durroth: onward!

 [16:35] Deathbringer: Whoa...

 [16:36] * Adam_Hartholm takes off in the direction he percieves the voice as coming from, legs pumping.

 [16:36] Selarep: What was that?

 [16:36] * Genoclysm looks towards the voice and follows after it.

 [16:36] * Nick was heading that way the whole time sillies.

 [16:36] * Selarep shrugs and follows the voice

[16:36] >Ambiance<: You find yourself at a Harker and a very small building. Strangely it seems to be in a different position along the water front

 [16:36] Eitak_Razal: Hmmm

 [16:36] Eitak_Razal: Is this the place?

 [16:36] * Deathbringer follows the group, his chains clanking as he does.

 [16:37] Malcolm: yep

 [16:37] Eitak_Razal: But wasn't it further that way

 [16:37] * Eitak_Razal points

 [16:37] Malcolm: Looks aboout right

 [16:37] Harker: The show that Dr. Louis Zephyr called "Instrumental"

 [16:37] * Eitak_Razal blinks

 [16:37] Adam_Hartholm: Heh.

 [16:37] Malcolm: yeah, but the fact remains that he is here and the hut is here

 [16:37] Deathbringer: Hmm...

 [16:37] * Adam_Hartholm stops, breathing a little quickly after the jog. "This the place then?"

 [16:37] Eitak_Razal: Then wheres the fair the hut led to?

 [16:37] Selarep: So what's at this fair, anyway?

 [16:37] * Eitak_Razal looks around.

 [16:37] Harker: quietly "Slow evening"

 [16:38] Deathbringer: Ah...

 [16:38] Little_Brown_Box: Don't see why!

 [16:38] Eitak_Razal: Your greatst desires seem to come true.

 [16:38] * Nick stops in front of the hut.

 [16:38] * Useless glances at the Harker, then the hut, then the others. "Is this...what we are after?"

 [16:38] Eitak_Razal: Yeah

 [16:38] Rimblade: "And it makes us all babble.  No, mind that not.  We babble regardless."

 [16:38] * Adam_Hartholm approaches the Harker. "Good evening sir. Is this the entrance to Festival Fantastique?"

 [16:38] Deathbringer: Yes we do Rim.

 [16:38] Plushie-chan: I thought it was a fair... not a hut.

 [16:38] Little_Brown_Box: Shush. This is the gate.

 [16:39] Malcolm: oh just you wait

 [16:39] * Genoclysm walks to the front of the hut.

 [16:39] Genoclysm: Jeice felt it was safe.  I want a go.

 [16:39] * Selarep hangs down his head "...Pavina..."

 [16:39] Nick: Aye I want to too...

 [16:39] Harker: quietly "The Fantasy is inside"

 [16:40] Harker: quietly "Have we those who wish to realize the future"

 [16:40] Deathbringer: I almost don't want to know my desire... I am content with my life.

 [16:40] Rimblade: "Do you wish us to enter, then?"

 [16:40] Nick: So I can...step inside then?

 [16:40] * Adam_Hartholm frowns slightly. "Hold up."

 [16:40] *** Persuasion is now known as Dakota_Pierce.

 [16:41] Adam_Hartholm: Something about this isn't sitting right with me.

 [16:41] Malcolm: I will go first if everyone thinks its unsafe

 [16:41] * Useless glances back at Adam. "Can you...clarify?"

 [16:41] * Adam_Hartholm chews on his bottom lip, looking intently at the harker. "Something's different."

 [16:41] Little_Brown_Box: No duh. They moved.

 [16:42] * Nick ignores Adam and continues to enter the hut

 [16:42] * Genoclysm frowns, growing impatient.

 [16:42] Little_Brown_Box: I don't see why that's a bad thing. It's obviously magical in nature.

 [16:42] Man: "Incoming"

 [16:42] Adam_Hartholm: Where?

[16:42] * Useless grows silent and, perhaps tempting fate, scans the area for hostile intent telepathically AFTER hopping off of Lkeas' shoulder.

 [16:42] * Grett keeps his distance from the main group.

 [16:43] >Ambiance<: You feel a familair stomach flip

 [16:43] * Selarep ducks and braces his arms in front of his face

 [16:43] Deathbringer: Oh great...

 [16:43] Nick: This feeling again!?

 [16:43] >Ambiance<: But rather then transit someone appears... rather out of nowhere

 [16:43] Malcolm: heh

 [16:43] Deathbringer: Whoa...

 [16:43] Plushie-chan: thats... diffrent

[16:43] >Ambiance<: He is a young man. Younger then the majority of you. Probably still in highschool. His attire is terran more or less.

 [16:44] Durroth: crap

 [16:44] * Selarep stands up and rests his arms at his sides

 [16:44] Durroth: that was wierd

 [16:44] Rimblade: "There is no point in commenting on it."

 [16:44] * Useless blinks and looks at the new arrival, his scan interrupted.

 [16:44] Selarep: Who are you?

 [16:44] Deathbringer: Um... hi.

 [16:44] Malcolm: Greetings newcomer

 [16:44] Eitak_Razal: Hello

 [16:44] * Nick touches the Door of the Hut.

 [16:44] * Dakota_Pierce is a bit startled at arriving in front of the group

 [16:44] Dakota_Pierce: "Where am I?"

 [16:45] * Grett quietly looks.

 [16:45] Adam_Hartholm: Hullo.

 [16:45] Genoclysm: At a fair, I suppose.

 [16:45] Rimblade: "You are in the town of Fairharbor, in the world of Caelestia."

 [16:45] Durroth: huzzah!

 [16:45] Deathbringer: Yep.

 [16:45] Genoclysm: We were about to try the festival fantastic.

 [16:45] Durroth: Care to join us?

 [16:45] Dakota_Pierce: "...Caelestia?"

 [16:45] Man: ... uh uh uh....

 [16:45] Man: Fantastique

 [16:45] Durroth: right

 [16:45] * Lkeas watches the newcomer with some curiousity. "Yes, as they said.. we're exploring the town we've come to."

 [16:46] Genoclysm: What's the diffrence?

 [16:46] Durroth: pronunciation

 [16:46] Deathbringer: Yeah. Caelestia.

 [16:46] Genoclysm: It's just a different pronunciation, right?

 [16:46] Durroth: one sounds grander

 [16:46] Dakota_Pierce: "Something is vaguely familiar about this place."

 [16:46] Nick: Hey can I enter the damn thing or not?

 [16:46] Man: One sounds French

 [16:46] * Nick pockets the bottle.

 [16:46] Dakota_Pierce: "I just can't place it in my mind."

 [16:46] Durroth: dont mess with their pronunciations and spellings geno

 [16:46] Deathbringer: Hmm...

 [16:46] * Genoclysm 's expression goes flat.

 [16:46] Dakota_Pierce: "Who are you people?"

 [16:46] Lkeas: We're, um..

 [16:46] Man: Visit the show Dr. Amelie Jardis said "Like Orphic only better"

 [16:47] Genoclysm: I'm Geno.

 [16:47] Adam_Hartholm: Ooh...

 [16:47] Rimblade: "We are those who think we're looking for the truth of something we cannot define."

 [16:47] * Dakota_Pierce immediately turns at hearing the name Amelie Jardis

 [16:47] Eitak_Razal: I'm Eitak

 [16:47] * Genoclysm holds out his hand.

 [16:47] Nick: Screw it, I'm entering.

 [16:47] Lkeas: A various sort, actually.  Grouped by a common goal involving another realm and the Devourer.

 [16:47] Selarep: I'm Selarep.

 [16:47] Durroth: Durroth Ar-thara'nes

 [16:47] * Dakota_Pierce approaches the man

 [16:47] * Nick walks through the door and into the hut.

 [16:47] Plushie-chan: Plushie Supeh

 [16:47] Durroth: pleased to meet you

 [16:47] Deathbringer: Call me DB. I'll give the full introduction later.

 [16:47] Dakota_Pierce: "Is Amelie Jardis here?"

 [16:47] * Man looks absently

 [16:47] * Lkeas shrugs. "The Harker's been spewing out names from all over the multiverse."

 [16:47] Man: "Who?"

 [16:48] Adam_Hartholm: Uhm...no?

 [16:48] Dakota_Pierce: "Amelie Jardis...you just mentioned her name, correct?"

 [16:48] Useless: "Names which oddly enough strike a chord.  Do you know Dr. Jardis well?"

 [16:48] Malcolm: I am Malcolm Xavier, pleased to meet you, can we get on with going inside?

 [16:48] * Man frowns

 [16:48] Man: "Cannot say I did...."

 [16:49] Deathbringer: Huh...

 [16:49] Man: "Visit the show that Matthew Johansen called more stunning than Giza and more powerful than the midnight circus"

 [16:49] Dakota_Pierce: "Yes... I know Dr. Jardis pretty well."

 [16:49] Dakota_Pierce: "Where is this show?"

 [16:49] Useless: "Might I inquire as to where from?"

 [16:49] Genoclysm: In the hut, I suppose.

 [16:49] * Man points at a very small hut

 [16:49] * Useless remembers his own experience with Orphic, and it colors the inflections of his question.

 [16:49] * Dakota_Pierce enters the hut with slight hesitation

 [16:49] *** Eitak_Razal has joined #epic.

 [16:49] Malcolm: Someone get ready to go through or I will again

 [16:50] * Adam_Hartholm shrugs. "I guess it looks the same."

 [16:50] Little_Brown_Box: Me first!

 [16:50] Legault: Huh, that's it, eh.

 [16:50] Durroth: Should we follow the newcomer?

 [16:50] * Selarep walks into the hut

 [16:50] * Lkeas frowns. "Box.. I read about what happened to you."

 [16:50] * Durroth walks into the hut

 [16:50] Little_Brown_Box: Eh?

 [16:50] Genoclysm: Wait, I thougth it was one at a time...

 [16:50] Lkeas: Do be careful not to become addicted to what you cannot have permanently.

 [16:50] * Nick had already entered.

 [16:50] Little_Brown_Box: How did you manage that?

 [16:50] Little_Brown_Box: Are you spying on me, Lkeas?

 [16:50] * Lkeas smirks. "It's my job, box."

 [16:50] * Useless tilts his head and scans the inside of the hut one last time telepathically

 [16:50] Deathbringer: Heh.

 [16:51] Little_Brown_Box: I knew it! I knew there was something about you that I didn't trust!

 [16:51] Selarep: It's rather small for a fair.

 [16:51] Malcolm: just you wait

 [16:51] *** Plushie-chan has joined #epic.

 [16:51] * Little_Brown_Box splutters and rants a bit.

 [16:51] Lkeas: So... you don't trust me because I collect information?

 [16:51] Eitak_Razal: This is the gate Selarep

 [16:51] * Malcolm grins a knowing grin and waits

 [16:51] * Adam_Hartholm smacks LBB with his free hand. "Shut up."

 [16:52] Selarep: Well, it's much safer than that death planet I was at.

 [16:53] Malcolm: and Much more fun

 [16:53] * Useless glances up at Lkeas. "Archivist, I can sense nothing...unusual."

 [16:53] Lkeas: How much less should you trust a hut that may collect even more than I am capable of..

 [16:53] Eitak_Razal: I'm just a little scared

 [16:53] Selarep: Now what?

 [16:53] Durroth: you guys coming?

 [16:53] Little_Brown_Box: I didn't let it know anything other than what I wanted, thank you very much.

 [16:53] Rimblade: "Are we engaged in wordplay?"

 [16:53] Lkeas: I believe it only accepts one at a time.

 [16:54] Little_Brown_Box: I'm not sure what Adam here let it see.

 [16:54] Selarep: What are you afraid of, Eitak?

 [16:54] * Eitak_Razal shakes her head.

 [16:54] Eitak_Razal: Its nothing.

 [16:54] * Adam_Hartholm pulls a face. "Counterfeit, select O2m."

 [16:54] Selarep: Alright...

 [16:54] * Little_Brown_Box squawks indignantly and goes silent.

 [16:55] Selarep: Who is Counterfeit?

[16:55] * Lkeas shrugs at Useless. "I have little in the way of extrasensory perception, and I haven't had a prophecy in a long while... all I've learned about this Festival is from what I have archived."

 [16:55] Deathbringer: The box.

 [16:55] Lkeas: It doesn't seem to have lasting effects.. not yet, anyway..

 [16:55] Selarep: That's its name?

 [16:55] Adam_Hartholm: Yup.

 [16:55] Lkeas: Except for a few of the ones who experienced it having strong desires to go inside again.

 [16:55] Selarep: When and where did you learn this?

 [16:56] Rimblade: Then why on earth do we continue talking about this?

 [16:56] Lkeas: We just visited yesterday.

 [16:56] Genoclysm: Jeice seemed rather happy when he got back.

 [16:56] * Lkeas smirks at the hilt. "Well, what else is there to do while we wait for the man to open the door again?"

 [16:56] Selarep: I meant the box's name.

 [16:56] Malcolm: Think of whatever you want

 [16:57] Deathbringer: Adam is a tech. guy at the Box's main computer... or... something...

 [16:57] Adam_Hartholm: The desire isn't overpowering, Lkeas. I'm just curious.

 [16:57] Selarep: Right...

 [16:57] Adam_Hartholm: I...learned some things last night.

 [16:57] Adam_Hartholm: I want to learn more now.

 [16:58] * Deathbringer sighs, "I don't think I want to learn my desire."

 [16:58] Malcolm: its amazing though

 [16:58] Selarep: How could this place possibly know of our desires?

 [16:58] * Useless clambers back up to Lkeas' shoulder swiftly and deftly.  "Waiting...I can do."

 [16:58] Adam_Hartholm: I assume it's magical.

 [16:59] Legault: This is Caelestia after all.

 [16:59] Deathbringer: I am sure it is... but I am happy where I am in life...

 [16:59] Malcolm: I would be very suprised if it was not magical

 [16:59] * Eitak_Razal hangs her head.

 [16:59] Rimblade: "If he opens the door again, I suggest it be decided who should go in for the first, if not last, time."

 [16:59] Malcolm: so think of something you have always wanted to do

 [16:59] Eitak_Razal: Why was mine the only one so forbodeing

 [16:59] Selarep: (Reminds me of that mirror from the first Harry Potter movie.)

 [16:59] Deathbringer: I have done all I have wanted.

 [16:59] Eitak_Razal: Then you go in next DB

 [16:59] * Adam_Hartholm winces and puts a hand to his left ear, then shakes LBB. "Stop shouting so damn loud."

 [17:00] Adam_Hartholm: I already know you want to go in next!

 [17:00] Durroth: I'll volunteer if DB is hesitant

 [17:00] Deathbringer: No... I am going to go later, if I go at all.

 [17:00] * Plushie-chan Raises her hand! I want to go Next!

 [17:00] Eitak_Razal: I might no go either.

 [17:00] Rimblade: "If we are allowed to chose, I volunteer.  If we're not, this talk is pointless."

 [17:01] Durroth: I see no reason not to go

 [17:01] Rimblade: "And if it's pointless, we're wasting air, and may as well desist."

 [17:01] Eitak_Razal: You don't wast air rim. You don't breathe.

 [17:01] * Plushie-chan giggles

 [17:01] Selarep: There couldn't be anything worse than what happened this week.

 [17:02] * Eitak_Razal sighs.

 [17:02] Legault: With my luck I'll end up in some empty world.

 [17:02] Malcolm: luck has nothing to do with it

 [17:02] Deathbringer: I bet I'll just end up haveing to kill a ton of devils...

 [17:03] * Eitak_Razal has a tear formin in the corner of her eyes.

 [17:03] Deathbringer: Which I can do anytime I want.

 [17:03] Durroth: I

 [17:03] Man: Debate

 [17:03] Man: It does a mind but not a body good

 [17:03] Man: Such somber people

 [17:03] * Lkeas turns to Eitak. "What's wrong?  Wasn't it.. what you wanted?"

 [17:03] Durroth: I'll go, I see no reason not to go

 [17:03] Man: The Fantastique is not for those

 [17:03] Eitak_Razal: I'm not sure anymore.

 [17:03] Legault: Alright.

 [17:03] Selarep: What?

 [17:04] Lkeas: What exactly is it for?

 [17:04] Rimblade: "Fantasy."

 [17:04] Eitak_Razal: You read my scroll. You saw what could happen...

 [17:04] Adam_Hartholm: Funlovers.

 [17:04] Nick: ((Is anybody inside? >.> I entered and so did some of you but meh >.>))

 [17:04] Adam_Hartholm: It's meant to be a joyride of the mind, I'd bet.

 [17:04] Lkeas: Could it really happen, you think?

 [17:04] Man: "It won't work that way"

 [17:04] Eitak_Razal: I'm not sure.

 [17:04] Man: "You cannot just walk in willy nilly"

 [17:04] Man: "And only one may ever enter at a time"

 [17:05] Rimblade: "Then feel free to direct us."

 [17:05] Lkeas: Out of all the people in Lore, would you think yourself most fitted for that position?

 [17:05] * Selarep faces Eitak and shakes his head "I haven't."

 [17:05] Man: "The Fantastique cannot be rushed or hurried"

 [17:05] Man: "It cannot be bottled"

 [17:05] Man: "Though many have tried"

 [17:05] Man: "And it cannot be matched"

 [17:05] * Eitak_Razal shakes her head.

 [17:05] Adam_Hartholm: Then what does this attraction represent, if not a bottling?

 [17:05] Useless: "Bottled...why does that remind me of something?"

[17:05] Durroth: I see no reason not to go, on one hand something not bad happens, on one hand something bad happens, either way its senseless to fear or doubt.

 [17:05] * Nick sighs "I guess I'll enter aswell...when I can"

 [17:05] * Rimblade stares ahead, unimpressed.

 [17:05] Eitak_Razal: I don't think I am... But apperntly the hut thinks I am.

 [17:05] * Adam_Hartholm is obviously enthusiastically curious.

 [17:06] * Dakota_Pierce had previously attempted to enter the hut

 [17:06] * Grett waits silently and patiently.

 [17:06] * Lkeas chuckles. "The hut just gave you what you asked for."

 [17:06] Man: "Come see the show that Falerin of Dragons Blood called "

 [17:06] Lkeas: No matter how improbable it might have been.

 [17:06] Durroth: I tend not to worry what the worst that can happen is

 [17:06] Man: "More real then real... in an infinite universe of infinite posibilities THIS is the one I would like to see"

 [17:06] Legault: Who's going next?

 [17:06] * Useless sighs softly. "Perhaps I should choose NOT to go within..."

 [17:06] Plushie-chan: I'll go.

 [17:06] Durroth: because the universe always can imagine something nastier than you can

[17:06] * Adam_Hartholm winces again, and shakes LBB. "Counterfeit would like me to tell you all that he REALLY wants to go next."

 [17:07] Man: "People fear joy"

 [17:07] Selarep: I guess I'll go.

 [17:07] Rimblade: "Potential is dangerous, more like."

 [17:07] Man: "They believe it leads to addicition or depression"

 [17:07] Deathbringer: Depression... heh.

 [17:07] Man: "Happiness is dangerous for them"

 [17:07] Durroth: Depression I have in abundance, and no joy caused it

 [17:07] Man: "People deep down do not want to be happy"

 [17:07] Man: "They aren't brave enough"

 [17:07] Genoclysm: Sounds familiar...

 [17:07] Deathbringer: Heh.

 [17:07] Man: "At the core most are Craven"

 [17:07] Nick: I'll enter next if no one objects.

 [17:07] Man: "The Fantastique is not for them"
