[19:55] * Rimblade begins leaking a dull grey light which slowly vanishes.

[19:55] Grett: I don't know of what they would have to do with my paperwork.
[19:56] Lkeas: It might be unrelated...
[19:56] Legault: The mark at the wedding...?
[19:56] Fulcan: "Wedding?"
[19:56] Legault: Elaith and Avarie are married.
[19:56] * Lkeas shakes her head and looks up at ZLOK. "What do you suppose a full inquiry will be like?"
[19:56] ZLOK: Boring.
[19:56] Fulcan: "They are? No kidding."
[19:56] * Elaith frowns and eyes the closed door more than a bit worriedly.
[19:57] Rimblade: "Ah, crud. He's getting a bit too far away..."
[19:57] Legault: Who?
[19:57] Rimblade: "My font!"
[19:57] Grett: Maybe he's just temporarily skipping me.
[19:57] Legault: Your font...? Ah, whatever.
[19:57] * Adam_Hartholm withdraws his hands and hugs them to himself, his shivering growing steadily more violent. He clamps his mouth shut, and the chattering stops.
[19:58] * TaloToecan slips his hands into the sleeves of his robes and frowns.
[19:58] * Lkeas frowns as she catches a glimpse of ZLOK's face under the hood. "Maybe the medic should have a look at you when he sees Malcolm.."
[19:58] Rimblade: "It's a little case of limiting possibility. I'm exploiting a loophole in a rule no one even bothered making up."
[19:58] ZLOK: Definately not.
[19:59] Legault: Why use a loop hole if you can bypass it?
[19:59] * TaloToecan whispers worriedly. "I know I have been...standoffish still...but tranisent deities? What has dear heart not told me...?"
[19:59] Grett: You don't need a loophole if no one made the rule...
[19:59] *** Malcolm has left #epic.
[19:59] * Brink walks over to Adam, one of his hands turning into a paw then back into a hand... "Are you ok my friend?"
[19:59] * Lkeas takes a moment to glance over at TaloToecan. "I believe he was referring to Grett.."
[19:59] Korban: This seems abit over worked, I mean we are only visiting.
[19:59] * Grett shrugs.
[20:00] Xforce: "Perhaps you'd like me to take a look?"
[20:00] Xforce: "You are humanoid, yes?"
[20:00] * TaloToecan looks back at Lkeas. "Then why is it the analog pair is the one being brought to fill paperwork?"
[20:00] * Adam_Hartholm looks at Brink, trembling all over by now. He opens his mouth, and his teeth resume chattering. "I d-don't th-think so. It's w-w-worse this t-time."
[20:00] Lkeas: Paperwork? Is that what they're doing in there..?
[20:00] Xforce: "My memory of human physiology is... mostly intact. I could administer some basic first aid, if it could help."
[20:00] Rimblade: "Dratted motive!"
[20:00] ZLOK: I wonder why Falerin, who should exist outside time is asking any of us these questions.
[20:00] Rimblade: "Because time is NOT a bloody river."
[20:00] Brink: "What is the problem may I ask Adam?"
[20:01] * Xforce grins craftily. "Indeed it is not."
[20:01] * Elaith 's frown deepens and he keeps eyeing the door, but makes no move.
[20:01] TaloToecan: "I do listen and Observe, Archivist."
[20:01] Adam_Hartholm: The t-t-t...
[20:01] Xforce: "Though I doubt I should say any more on the subject."
[20:01] Legault: Was this Tirlerion's plan the whole time...?
[20:01] Grett: The question I think, Talo-Toecan, is why wasn't I brought in there for the paperwork.
[20:01] * Adam_Hartholm gives up on it and clamps his mouth shut again.
[20:01] Lkeas: As do I. But I had thought he was answering Grett's question about there being a problem.
[20:01] * TaloToecan shrugs.
[20:01] Xforce: "My apologies, though, I don't believe I've introduced myself."
[20:01] Rimblade: "Why is that given as punishment so hard to seek as favour?"
[20:01] Legault: Think about it. If Falerin is here, what's happening on to Caelestia?
[20:02] * Lkeas turns back to ZLOK. "I was wondering that too. Maybe it's just part of this avatar's job?"
[20:02] Xforce: "I trust I didn't make myself out to be an utter braindead moron before my faculties were restored?"
[20:02] Korban: I asked the same thing to myself Grett, but figured there was a reason, their usually is.
[20:02] ZLOK: Outside time.
[20:02] TaloToecan: "I am weary enough that I might well be jumping to illogical conclusions."
[20:02] ZLOK: More than we know have been messed up.
[20:02] Legault: Something tells me this was just a way for Tirlerion to get Falerin's portfolio...
[20:02] Brink: "A sickness of which traveling throuhg time and world's makes you very ill?"
[20:02] Elaith: I am sure the other members of the Farpoint are more than capable of taking care of Caelestia while Falerin is here.
[20:02] Rimblade: "One thing was messed up."
[20:02] Brink: "Shake your head if I'm right Adam."
[20:02] Rimblade: "But that's okay, because only one thing exists"
[20:02] Korban: Legault I think it's fair to say he is an analog.
[20:03] Korban: Though I could be wrong.
[20:03] * TaloToecan ponders sitting down and resting.
[20:03] Xforce: "He may be. He may not. Will his nature really affect you in the slightest?"
[20:03] * Adam_Hartholm just looks at Brink. It should be apparent to any watching him closely that he's forcibly constraining himself, as the trembling is growing worse and worse. As is, he's shaking all over.
[20:03] Lkeas: Well, let's not make assumptions about what's happened to Caelestia just yet...
[20:03] Xforce: "We are at his mercy, for the moment, and he appears to be treating us fairly."
[20:03] Brink: "I take that as a yes."
[20:03] Rimblade: "Haha! Good one, Tomekeeper!"
[20:04] Lkeas: We do know Tirlerion didn't seem to mind either way whether the plan with Arilar and Gamia succeeded or failed.
[20:04] Xforce: "Certainly, he does appear to harbor overy malicious intent toward us."
[20:04] * Brink digs into his coat pocket. "Lemme see here."
[20:04] Rimblade: "No."
[20:04] Grett: He could easily just be an obscure analog here.
[20:04] Grett: Avatar I mean.
[20:04] Rimblade: "Falerin has always played by the rules."
[20:04] Korban: I assumed as much myself.
[20:04] Rimblade: "This appears extremist."
[20:04] Xforce: "Or a mortal, perchance?"
[20:04] Rimblade: "I see beaurocracy."
[20:04] * TaloToecan pulls his hands from his sleeves and begins to massage his temples.
[20:04] Xforce: "Not all gods rose from eternity, after all."
[20:05] Lkeas: That's true, Grett... and I think I recall someone mentioning that the God of Evil doesn't always keep very good track of his avatars.
[20:05] * Brink pulls out a small jar about the size of a small hotsauce bottle, it's filled with a white liquid. "Open up, this should help stiffen your muscels and reduce the shaking."
[20:05] * Damsel exits from the office, looking grim, with Avarie following behind.
[20:05] TaloToecan: "Probably an admission from the God of Evil himself at some point."
[20:05] Rimblade: "Oh. Well, Damsel? How has it gone?"
[20:06] Grett: He is connected enough to know of a couple of us, but not enough to recognize us.
[20:06] * Elaith looks worriedly at Avarie, his brow furrowed and hands clenched.
[20:06] * Rimblade is suddenly awash with grey light for a moment.
[20:06] * Damsel attempts a faint smile. "He remembers us. However..."
[20:06] Rimblade: "...Ah?"
[20:06] * Adam_Hartholm eyes the bottle dubiously. After a few moments, he opens his mouth, but his teeth click right back together again. He curls in on himself and groans.
[20:06] Lkeas: Us... all of us?
[20:06] Damsel: "Yes. All of us. But what we have done is cause a major shift in the branches, as we expected."
[20:07] Rimblade: "Ahem? We?"
[20:07] * Avarie moves over to Elaith and takes his hand, smiling weakly at him.
[20:07] Grett: I agree with Rimblade there...
[20:07] * Brink sighs. He he takes out a small straw. He puts it in the bottle "If you can open your mouth the slightest bit I can get this in, you need only take a sip and it should start helping."
[20:07] Legault: Apparently Rimblade takes the blame.
[20:07] Fulcan: "I jusst came here 'cause I went to the abode. I'm just here. I blame you guys."
[20:07] * Xforce shrugs. "The wave is intact, as it always us."
[20:07] Xforce: "It will adapt. There is no need to worry."
[20:08] ZLOK: Shut up! All of you, shut up. Let Damsel speak.
[20:08] * Elaith takes Avarie's hand and begins to listen to the explanation.
[20:08] Damsel: "The blame is not important. What is, is that we currently have a choice. Leave things as they are now or attempt to alter them back."
[20:08] * Adam_Hartholm forces himself to uncurl and opens his moutch, his teeth clicking together voilently and probably painfully. Sweat runs down his face.
[20:08] Grett: First we should know the consequences.
[20:08] Rimblade: "Aha."
[20:08] * Brink quickly puts the straw in.
[20:08] Damsel: "However, whichever it may be, we are ultimately responsible for the uncreation of whatever major branch is destroyed from the choice."
[20:08] Brink: There.
[20:09] Xforce: "Hmm... if I may interject... miss Damsel?"
[20:09] Brink: "You only need to take one sip.... that should be enough."
[20:09] Elaith: What is necessary to restore the old branch?
[20:09] * Adam_Hartholm bites down on the straw. The muscles in his neck bunch, and he tries to sip or swallow, but begins coughing, spraying the liquid out his mouth and nose.
[20:09] Fulcan: "I don't know. I kinda like this one."
[20:09] * Lkeas looks at ZLOK, growing concerned. She squeezes his hand in an attempt to try to ease his tension.
[20:10] * Damsel appears very grim. "So in essence, whatever we chose, we have destroyed an entire multiverse and all those within it. As it is, we ourselves are only Quasireal, as he put it."
[20:10] * Brink sighs and pulls the straw out. He pulls out a cloth.
[20:10] Lkeas: I see...
[20:10] * ZLOK squeeses Lkeas' shoulders lightly.
[20:10] * Brink wipes up the liquid sprayed out.
[20:10] Legault: I don't believe we can leave things this way...
[20:10] * Adam_Hartholm curls up in a ball, sweat running down his forehead, panic in his eyes.
[20:10] Rimblade: "Well, that's simple then."
[20:10] Brink: If left this way...
[20:10] Xforce: "If I may interject...?"
[20:11] Rimblade: "We must return it."
[20:11] * Brink sighs and grows silent.
[20:11] * Damsel makes a small gesture towards Xforce. "Go ahead."
[20:11] * Brink sits back down.
[20:11] * Brink sighs greatly. He turns his attention back to the group.
[20:11] Xforce: "I am a stranger amongst a strange people here, it seems. Still, I have some experience with the matters that... I think you are struggling with."
[20:12] Rimblade: "Do not pause for drama."
[20:12] Xforce: "As I understand it, you fear that your actions in this place have uncreated the world you once inhabited. Is this correct?"
[20:12] Rimblade: "I fear no such thing."
[20:12] * Fulcan walks up to the others, "What's so bad about this timeline? Everything looks peaceful enough?"
[20:12] Xforce: "It is not a possibility, then?"
[20:12] Brink: Rimblade can you shut up!?!
[20:13] Rimblade: "No, Brink."
[20:13] Legault: Because we said we'd fix things, Fulcan.
[20:13] Brink: "AS i thought Rim."
[20:13] *** Mode change "-b ~q:selarep!*@*" for channel #epic by Falerin.
[20:13] Damsel: "It is not fear. It is in fact truth."
[20:13] Lkeas: I think he meant more that it was not that we fear it, but rather know it.
[20:13] Fulcan: "Who are we?"
[20:13] Legault: We failed as a group, and I believe it's our job to right what we did.
[20:13] Xforce: "I have some... experience with timelines, and with those who have altered them. Suffice it to say that those who do the altering have very little control over the... results of their actions."
[20:13] * TaloToecan has the distinct feeling that the only reason he is still as 'real' as the others in this 'Quasireal' state is simply by sheer presence of mind and his...exposure...to the workings of Orphic.
[20:13] Rimblade: "This is quite evident, Sir."
[20:13] * Adam_Hartholm gasps and rolls over in his seat. His eyes unfocus and his breathing eases. The trembling ceases. But he does not move.
[20:14] Rimblade: "Adam's feeling is that we should return the multiverse."
[20:14] Fulcan: "Legault, I don't see how I, in this group, can be blamed."
[20:14] Rimblade: "My feeling coincides."
[20:14] Rimblade: "Because evil does not die retroactively."
[20:14] Fulcan: "I came to the abode to see what's up, and I end up here. How is that MY fault?"
[20:14] Rimblade: "And smoke does not always precede fire."
[20:15] Elaith: "I would say it is our responsibility to restore the old branch, but it is of note that if we mess up we could change things further."
[20:15] * Xforce nods "By that logic, then, to attempt to alter the timeline here would not yeild concrete results - but would instead twist the wave of this reality so that it, modelling it into a reflection of the world you seek to make it match. It would be a poor solution, at best."
[20:15] * Lkeas turns to Fulcan. "Can we... stop with the blame game again..?"
[20:15] Damsel: "We are debating the fate of two entire multiverses and you are picking at fault?"
[20:15] * Lkeas sighs.
[20:15] * Damsel appears disgusted.
[20:15] Legault: 'Cause we're a team.
[20:15] Xforce: "I merely sugget that you ignore the fate of the "multiverses" as you put them, and focus more on what you believe is right."
[20:15] Lkeas: Remember we are a family. We work things out together. United.
[20:15] Xforce: "Not what is right for your universe, but what is right for you."
[20:15] * Brink sighs.
[20:16] Rimblade: "Monkey's paw."
[20:16] Brink: I'm with the guy speaking about our concerns here.
[20:16] * Charasuke exits his apartment smiling a young child behind him
[20:16] ZLOK: Lkeas, do you want me to kill him?
[20:16] Elaith: "After all, timelines have been known to be "self-correctional" if the differences are trivial enough."
[20:16] * Brink stands and walks into the group.
[20:16] Lkeas: Er, no.. that probably won't help, ZLOK...
[20:16] ZLOK: Propably not, but it'd make me feel better.
[20:16] * Fulcan sighs, "Alright, I'm going to go look around."
[20:16] * ZLOK sounds slightly amused.
[20:16] Xforce: "The gods exist beyond space and time, and they observe the actions of the people they see. There is much that we, within our mortal shells, would only harm in the tampering."
[20:16] * Fulcan turns and starts for the door.
[20:16] Charasuke: "This is my Son... Charasuke Masaharu"
[20:17] * Xforce breaks off and turns to Falerin, nodding
[20:17] Charasuke: "He is half Human"
[20:17] * Rimblade fails obviously to nod.
[20:17] Charasuke: "But he was fascinated to learn of other off worlders here"
[20:17] * Dale falls to the ground in pure and utter shock.
[20:17] * Damsel smiles at Charasuke and the child, but there is sadness in her eyes.
[20:18] * Lkeas trails off as she spots Ryuusei and Masaharu. "It's um.. a pleasure to meet you.."
[20:18] * Brink sighs. "Be damned... I need to be a wolf again... I'm pleased with being my current."
[20:18] * Brink shifts into his half-wolf form.
[20:18] Brink: ((*Wolf))
[20:18] * Brink sighs happily.
[20:18] * Adam_Hartholm lays sprawled out across two seats, legs dangling over the side, eyes unfocused and mouth open.
[20:18] * TaloToecan turns towards the child and gives an abbreviated bow, letting his long metallic hair hide the greif of meeting young life that may soon never be.
[20:18] * Legault falls silent, lost in thought.
[20:18] Charasuke: "Say Ai Masaharu-chan"
[20:19] * Masaharu looks embarassed
[20:19] * Fulcan approches the door, and attempts an exit.
[20:19] * Elaith frowns, hating thinking about the choice between what feels right and what feels correct.
[20:19] Masaharu: Ai
[20:19] >Ambiance<: The door refuses him egress
[20:19] * Avarie grips Elaith's hand tightly, her own conflict plain on her face.
[20:19] * Fulcan tries kicking the door.
[20:19] * Brink looks at the child. His eyes affixed. "Pleased to meat you." although his facila expression says quite different, as if worried greatly.
[20:19] * Charasuke tickles his son suddenly
[20:20] Charasuke: "I got you!"
[20:20] * Charasuke's son falls to the ground laughing hysterically
[20:20] *** Dale is now known as Dale|away.
[20:20] * Xforce smiles, but says nothing
[20:20] * Lkeas lowers her eyes to the floor. "What about the ones we've already lost..."
[20:20] * TaloToecan sighs and turns aside, not quite able to bear the innocence of the scene, and instead moves to politely restrain Fulcan from making a scene.
[20:20] * Rimblade is troubled by Masaharu.
[20:20] * Brink sighs and mumbles to himself. "Youth, granted it's splendor...."
[20:21] Rimblade: "No, Lkeas. What about the ones who will never get to be lost? Mourn for them."
[20:21] * Brink follows Useless. "Wait for me..."
[20:21] * Elaith 's mind ends up on what is correct, though he doesn't stop frowning, knowing what will happen to those of this line.
[20:21] * Damsel turns away as well, feeling tears beginning to form in her eyes.
[20:21] Lkeas: Gods...
[20:21] * ZLOK squeezes Lkeas' shoulders.
[20:21] ZLOK: Steel yourself, we're not done losing.
[20:21] * Charasuke presses a small button
[20:21] * Brink 's eyes begin to tear up, althouhg his face doesn't change in expression.
[20:22] Charasuke: "Galrick my good friend Masaharu and I are ready to go visit the Emperors City, We want to try that Vandarian Cafe you recommended to us"
[20:22] >Ambiance<: The door buzzes
[20:22] Galrick: I highly recommend it
[20:22] * Galrick leads Charasuke and Masaharu out
[20:23] * Fulcan tries to follow them.
[20:23] Galrick: "I am sorry sir"
[20:23] Brink: Fulcan....
[20:23] Brink: Stay.
[20:23] Galrick: "You are not yet cleared cutoms"
[20:23] Rimblade: "Do not dare, Fulcan."
[20:23] * Galrick steps out and the door swings closed
[20:24] * Damsel leans against the wall and stares at the ceiling.
[20:24] * Fulcan approaches the line again, "If you don't mind, may I go next?"
[20:24] >Ambiance<: The door does not seem to latch as it closes
[20:24] >Ambiance<: Falerin has still not returned to the waiting area
[20:24] * Rimblade watches Fulcan's back intently.
[20:24] * Calvek enters with a white robed fellow
[20:24] * Fulcan was addressing that to the others, rather than Falerin.
[20:24] Calvek: Who is injured?
[20:24] * Brink lies down at Damsel's feet. "Damsel.... come what may... I ahve rust in all of us."
[20:25] * Rimblade eminates a wave of hate for a moment, then stops.
[20:25] ZLOK: Malcolm and Adam, it appears.
[20:25] Calvek: Please follow us
[20:25] * Xforce undoes his boot and shakes it out, then puts it back on and follows Calvek.
[20:25] Xforce: "I'd prefer if you didn't place Iron Oxide on my person, Brink."
[20:25] * Calvek looks at Xforce
[20:25] * Avarie looks at Elaith, her expression asking if he too will go with them.
[20:26] Calvek: You do not appear harmed
[20:26] * Adam_Hartholm is too out cold to move much, really.
[20:26] Brink: I did not.
[20:26] Calvek: Only the injured shall come to the ER
[20:26] Calvek: Please
[20:26] * Elaith whispers to Avarie. "The timeline has to be restored. I can wait."
[20:26] * Falerin enters
[20:26] Falerin: None are injured
[20:26] Falerin: I was mistaken
[20:26] * Brink looks up at Damsel "As lkeas said.... we are a fanily." he then lowers his hand and it ends up lieing on her foot.
[20:26] * Dale|away gets up and stands.
[20:26] * Falerin gestures
[20:27] Falerin: "Do any appear harmed to you"
[20:27] * Fulcan approaches the front of the line, "Alright, I'm next."
[20:27] Falerin: "Next for what Mr. Ryst"
[20:27] Falerin: "You have already cleared customs"
[20:27] * Xforce shrugs, then walks back to his seat and sits.
[20:27] Fulcan: "Then can I get out of here?"
[20:27] * Avarie considers Elaith seriously for a moment then nods her head in agreement.
[20:27] * Rimblade stares at Fulcan's back.
[20:27] * Rimblade lets loose another wave of anger.
[20:27] Falerin: "Well no the emperor has to still approve your free travel"
[20:28] Falerin: "But I shall recommend it"
[20:28] Fulcan: "Then where can I see the emperor?"
[20:28] Dale|away: What about me, Minister?
[20:28] * Adam_Hartholm is still sprawled innert upon the seats, staring at nothing and breathing far too slowly, but apparently has been overlooked in all the fuss.
[20:28] Falerin: "Move along Calvek please"
[20:28] Calvek: See the emperor?!
[20:28] Calvek: See the emperor?!
[20:28] * Brink 's sighs from his position on Damsel's foot "Thankyou Falerin."
[20:28] Falerin: "Move along Calvek please"
[20:28] * Lkeas watches Falerin carefully.
[20:28] Fulcan: "Yeah. See the emperor. So I can travel."
[20:28] * Rimblade glares at Fulcan.
[20:28] * Calvek and the White robed fellow exit
[20:28] * Falerin heals Malcolm and Adam
[20:29] Falerin: "You are rather fortunate I heard them arrive"
[20:29] * Brink lets out a low whimper from his position.
[20:29] Fulcan: "Rimblade, still pissed about me having Lordspear?"
[20:29] Falerin: "the seriously injured are put to death"
[20:29] Lkeas: What?!
[20:29] Rimblade: "I want it to go away."
[20:29] Legault: ... Why?
[20:29] Falerin: "To end their pain"
[20:29] Xforce: "Mercy, most likely."
[20:29] ZLOK: It's cheaper, and more efficient.
[20:29] Fulcan: "I think not, Rimblad.e'
[20:29] Falerin: "And to be efficient energy wise"
[20:29] Fulcan: Rimblade."*
[20:29] TaloToecan: "That is...not entirely a mercy."
[20:29] Grett: I thought you had called the medic, though.
[20:30] * Xforce begins checking himself over, making sure all his body parts are in their respective places.
[20:30] * Damsel drops her gaze to look upon Falerin grimly.
[20:30] Rimblade: "You will. You will throw it away."
[20:30] Falerin: "And Cancer is?"
[20:30] Lkeas: How do they determine how "serious" an injury is?
[20:30] * Adam_Hartholm blinks and sits up, looking around. "We're still here?"
[20:30] Fulcan: "No. I won't."
[20:30] Falerin: "Oh yes a medic he is. Mr. Hartholm would have been treated"
[20:30] Falerin: "Medics are also Executioners"
[20:30] * TaloToecan grows silent after that shock-borne statement, though only one other would know why with certainty.
[20:30] *** Dale|away is now known as Alcharra.
[20:30] Adam_Hartholm: Wow. When I felt that attack come on, I didn't expect to wake up for a few hours at least.
[20:30] Falerin: "An purported injection of Cortisone for the burns would be actually a massive cocktail of valium, morvine and sodium pentathol"
[20:30] * Adam_Hartholm winces as a cramped muscle twinges at him, and rolls his arm.
[20:31] Falerin: "Death is quite painless
[20:31] Fulcan: "So Fal, when can I leave?"
[20:31] Rimblade: "Then leave. Once the emporor lets you leave, go to another world."
[20:31] Damsel: "How many others are executed? More than just the injured?"
[20:31] Falerin: Traitors
[20:31] Falerin: Murderers
[20:31] Lkeas: Do you not have prisons?
[20:31] Rimblade: "I cannot stand that in the same room as I."
[20:31] Falerin: The congentially unhealable
[20:32] * Fulcan approaches Rimblade, "It's not my problem."
[20:32] Dale: I do have a question, Minister. If you don't mind, that is.
[20:32] * Avarie turns to Elaith, shocked as the impact of what she had suggested hits home, her grip on his hand tightening.
[20:32] Falerin: Yes.... theives, and other minor crimes are in our prisons
[20:32] Adam_Hartholm: Wait...
[20:32] Falerin: all prisons are minimum security
[20:32] Adam_Hartholm: Executed?
[20:32] Falerin: breaking out of treatment
[20:32] * Brink stands up and walks over to FAlerin. He lays down directly in front of him.
[20:32] Falerin: is considered treason
[20:32] * Rimblade backs away from Fulcan.
[20:32] Rimblade: "Go away."
[20:32] * Adam_Hartholm looks around, eyes wide. "You don't mean I was almost killed, do you?"
[20:32] Falerin: None of our Prisons are Penitentiarys though
[20:32] * Elaith interlaces his fingers in Avarie's and smiles.
[20:32] Falerin: they are all residential treatment programs
[20:32] Falerin: To rehab the criminal
[20:32] * Fulcan tries to make an exit once more.
[20:32] Dale: Tell me, what deities are worshipped here? And is worship of foreign deities considered treason?
[20:33] Falerin: The Elemental Lords
[20:33] Falerin: Lorithia
[20:33] Falerin: this is Lore
[20:33] Falerin: and no
[20:33] Falerin: As outsiders come here
[20:33] Falerin: but it is considered silly and odd largely
[20:33] * Adam_Hartholm stands up, then promptly reconsiders when his knees shake and sits back down.
[20:33] Dale: Alright then.
[20:33] Falerin: Since they presumably lack power here
[20:33] Damsel: "What all is considered treason?"
[20:34] * Xforce laughs. "Theres truth in what you say..."
[20:34] Grett: Is it often off-worlders come here?
[20:34] Falerin: Pretty much high treason
[20:34] * Fulcan tries really really hard to leave.
[20:34] Falerin: Attempting to assasinate the emperor
[20:34] Falerin: To overthrow his goverment
[20:34] Falerin: To harm a large portion of his people
[20:34] Xforce: "Myself, I do not know what will happen to me if I attempt to leave, or even how I managed to escape from my earlier imprisonment."
[20:34] Rimblade: "Can one bring weapons into the Emporor's presence?"
[20:34] Dale: So in other words any acts of negativity towards the empire are treason.
[20:34] * TaloToecan attempts to restrain Fulcan passively.
[20:34] Falerin: The Emperor is not a Cruel leader.... he is actually kind of lax comparitively
[20:34] Xforce: "I am happy to be alive, though... and would learn more of your world."
[20:34] Damsel: "Comparitively...?"
[20:35] Falerin: If you are attempting to Assuage your guilt by making the Emperor out to be a terrible tyrant
[20:35] Falerin: You will fail
[20:35] Falerin: Tralin was in my memory now that I remember
[20:35] Legault: I doubt heis.
[20:35] * Xforce half raises a hand.
[20:35] Falerin: A more strict king
[20:35] * Lkeas sighs.
[20:35] Xforce: "A moment."
[20:35] ZLOK: Was?
[20:35] * Brink looks up at Falerin rather curiously.
[20:35] Xforce: "Would it be possible to obtain a change of clothes?"
[20:35] Falerin: Tralin of Deren does not exist in this reality
[20:35] Falerin: he is a Drakel
[20:35] Xforce: "I appear to be rather... aromatic, in my present condition."
[20:35] Falerin: there is no such race as it was
[20:36] * Falerin points Saturate
[20:36] * Falerin points again
[20:36] * Falerin points Dessicate
[20:36] Grett: The Drakel have been eliminated from the tree...?
[20:36] Falerin: of course
[20:36] Falerin: That is to say
[20:36] Falerin: Your Drakel have
[20:36] Xforce: "The Drakel?"
[20:37] Dale: The Silari remain then?
[20:37] Falerin: There is a montainous Cousin of the Silari called Drakel
[20:37] Falerin: But they are a different thing
[20:37] * Damsel considers, trying to find the right words. "Falerin... what is the condition of the multiverse? Some considered what The'Galin was doing necessary to keep the worlds from corruption. Has this branch proven that to be false...?"
[20:37] Falerin: The combination of the Draconians never happened
[20:37] Falerin: the races continued segregate evolution
[20:37] Falerin: they cannot even interbreed anymore
[20:37] Fulcan: "You know what, screw it."
[20:37] * Fulcan vanishes.
[20:37] Falerin: Erg
[20:37] * Rimblade relaxes.
[20:38] Falerin: He should not have done that
[20:38] Dale: Minister, do you have a place to rest? Or shall I just sleep on the ground? I'm rather tired, not having slept for a few days.
[20:38] Rimblade: "I'm pretty glad he did."
[20:38] Falerin: He is in very serious trouble
[20:38] Dale: I really would appreciated a bed.
[20:38] Rimblade: "I hope they kill him."
[20:38] Falerin: and he very likely just made your task 100 times worse
[20:38] * Adam_Hartholm takes a deep breath and stands again. "Just like him."
[20:38] Lkeas: How so?
[20:38] Brink: That's Fulcan...
[20:38] Falerin: Fulcan was already a swapped being
[20:38] Falerin: And he is now doubly swapped
[20:38] Falerin: The thing is
[20:38] Falerin: If such a double swap occurs
[20:39] Falerin: under normal circumstances it should reverse the original swap
[20:39] Falerin: You know
[20:39] Falerin: Double negative
[20:39] Xforce: Makes a positive, yes.
[20:39] Rimblade: "I do not like where this is going."
[20:39] Legault: Fulcan's been triple swapped already...
[20:39] Falerin: Untill he used exodus teleporation
[20:39] Falerin: He was fine
[20:39] Xforce: These special circumstances, however... warrant special notice?
[20:39] Xforce: A change, in the rules?
[20:39] Falerin: But he just entered the space time as an uncreated
[20:39] Falerin: He is now travelling arround as one
[20:40] Falerin: which um
[20:40] Grett: You've got to be joking...
[20:40] Falerin: will destroy him
[20:40] Rimblade: "What will happen to his possessions?"
[20:40] Grett: He's not going to be like anti-creation, will he?
[20:40] Falerin: Oh he is
[20:40] Falerin: Clearly
[20:40] TaloToecan: "Should that not be an impossibility paradox?"
[20:40] Falerin: Oh and it is
[20:40] Xforce: ... he will be formed of antimatter?
[20:40] Falerin: and it will resolve Talo
[20:40] Xforce: ...
[20:40] Falerin: With him ceasing
[20:40] Rimblade: "Er, this is rather important to me."
[20:40] Falerin: and Alastor being forcibly restored
[20:40] Falerin: Only this time
[20:41] Falerin: Fulcan will be destroyed even from the uncreated tree
[20:41] Rimblade: "What will happen to his possessions?"
[20:41] Falerin: it will be total Annihilation
[20:41] Xforce: ...
[20:41] Falerin: Complete obliteration
[20:41] Falerin: No restoration
[20:41] Grett: Anti-creation isn't antimatter, Xforce.
[20:41] Falerin: Everr
[20:41] Falerin: in any universe
[20:41] Rimblade: "Um."
[20:41] Falerin: in any possibility
[20:41] Legault: Heh.
[20:41] Falerin: Gone
[20:41] Xforce: I imagine it would release a sizable amount of energy, as well?
[20:41] Falerin: He will be remembered
[20:41] Falerin: as it is not normal uncreation
[20:41] * Lkeas shakes her head. "He always was a bit headstrung, that one..."
[20:41] Falerin: But he will not be
[20:41] Falerin: Body mind and soul
[20:41] Falerin: Toast
[20:41] Rimblade: "But his clothes and junk will just fly off into the aether, right?"
[20:41] Xforce: ... pardon me, I seem to have erred.
[20:42] Xforce: You speak of topics far removed from those that constituted my old reality.
[20:42] Falerin: The explosiveness of the disintegration given that ones energy paradigm
[20:42] Falerin: Will quite assuredly destroy all of his possessions Rimblade
[20:42] Rimblade: "But not UNCREATE, right?"
[20:42] Falerin: Anihilate
[20:42] Rimblade: "Total obliteration wouldn't be so bad, but they have to have existed."
[20:43] Falerin: Oh well its not an uncreation at this point
[20:43] Falerin: Theey already were uncreated
[20:43] Falerin: They were uncreated when you destroyed half the tree
[20:43] * Adam_Hartholm rubs a hand over his face. "This is too out there. I don't even pretend to understand what just happened or how it managed to happen."
[20:43] Lkeas: Have we all been uncreated, then...
[20:43] * TaloToecan blinks. "An entire HALF?"
[20:43] Rimblade: "Alright. So there's still a POSSIBILITY that they could be recreated."
[20:44] Lkeas: Can we perhaps move on from the subject of Fulcan's worldly possessions, as fascinating as they are?
[20:44] Rimblade: "It's a bit more than life or death to me, Lkeas."
[20:45] Lkeas: Wait, your life is hanging on something that Fulcan owns?
[20:45] Brink: "Rimblade... leave it alone... drop it, stop, in simple terms, your not getting them."
[20:45] Rimblade: "Life? Er, probably."
[20:45] Legault: He's part of a weapon that Fulcan has.
[20:45] Dale: You don't understand, Brink.
[20:46] * TaloToecan sinks to his knees at the concept of an entire half of the Tree being gone.
[20:46] Dale: Rimblade can't survive without LordSpear, from what I gather.
[20:46] * Adam_Hartholm pulls a book out of his pocket and starts reading.
[20:46] * Lkeas sighs.
[20:46] Lkeas: Well, NONE of us can survive if that entire half of the reality tree is gone..
[20:46] * Elaith wonders who Life's Avatar is in this modified timeline.
[20:46] * Damsel shakes her head slowly, then asks her question again. "Falerin... what is the status of the multiverse?"
[20:46] Brink: Fulcan had LordSpear...
[20:47] Rimblade: "Bah, reality can shove itself, but if I don't exist I can't finish my pocketwatch."
[20:47] Brink: Never mind then.
[20:47] *** Fulcan has left #epic.
[20:47] * Adam_Hartholm looks over the book at Rimblade. "You can borrow mine."
[20:47] Falerin: Half
[20:48] Falerin: Did I say half
[20:48] * TaloToecan has a brief scientific connundrum run through his mind that detracts from worry...sends a half finished thought to Lkeas...then resumes his distraught nature over the sheer damage done.
[20:48] Falerin: I meant 6/7ths
[20:48] Legault: ... Lovely.
[20:48] * Lkeas curses under her breath.
[20:48] Legault: We need to fix this.
[20:48] Falerin: The butterfly effect
[20:48] Brink: Wonderful...
[20:48] Rimblade: "No, Adam. Your watch keeps time, I want one to tell it."
[20:48] Lkeas: Well, there's not really much choice left in the matter, now..
[20:48] Falerin: on a fundamental level
[20:48] Falerin: You altered my memory initailly
[20:48] Falerin: that was how bad it was
[20:48] Damsel: "So much gone..."
[20:48] Falerin: It is only because I became aware of a god that I had met in the previous version
[20:49] Falerin: who was isolated from the effect
[20:49] Falerin: that the memories reasserted themselves
[20:49] Falerin: Oh a whole new bush has grown in their place
[20:49] Legault: Grett?
[20:49] Falerin: The same space filled out you know
[20:49] Falerin: If Grett had not been with you
[20:49] Lkeas: Just... a different bush.
[20:49] Falerin: There would be ZERO possibility of undoing this
[20:49] Falerin: I would not know you from adam
[20:49] Grett: Ah.
[20:50] Legault: Well, thanks, Grett.
[20:50] Falerin: And after a short while your memories would have failed
[20:50] Grett: I guess it was a good thing I came along.
[20:50] Falerin: and if you did not exist in this tree
[20:50] Falerin: so would you
[20:50] Falerin: you would become an uncreated
[20:50] Falerin: just like that
[20:50] Adam_Hartholm: ...whoa.
[20:50] Rimblade: "Is it possible that we have analogs in this tree?"
[20:50] * TaloToecan looks at Lkeas. "I would wonder about that, in our unique cases...but then that would be so much greater a curse to bear."
[20:50] * Adam_Hartholm turns to Grett. "You have my most sincere gratitude."
[20:50] Falerin: I will send you back to Caelestia
[20:50] Falerin: Tho...
[20:50] Falerin: It has changed
[20:51] Falerin: I will reactivate things
[20:51] Brink: I don't like the sound of that...
[20:51] Falerin: Recharge the laptop
[20:51] Falerin: and...
[20:51] * Lkeas sighs. "That damned laptop."
[20:51] Falerin: Decide
[20:51] Falerin: Do not blame the Technology Prophet
[20:51] Lkeas: Yeah, I know...
[20:52] Legault: We also took too long.
[20:52] Falerin: That laptop was created by me you know
[20:52] Falerin: I am not likely to like it
[20:52] Grett: How long will the others hold up from being erased at this point?
[20:52] * Rimblade comes to a sudden realization.
[20:52] Lkeas: I just... am trying not to feel terrible to the point of...
[20:52] Falerin: well by matthew and I
[20:52] Xforce: "Err, a moment."
[20:52] Falerin: when he was a god on Caelestia for that period
[20:52] * Lkeas closes her eyes.
[20:52] Rimblade: "My notes! They won't exist!"
[20:52] Falerin: Permamently
[20:52] * ZLOK pulls Lkeas closer and puts his arms around her.
[20:52] Xforce: "I am not native to Caelestia... nor do I know if I will be able to survive there for an extended period... yet."
[20:52] Falerin: I am enforcing your reality
[20:52] Brink: ...
[20:52] Falerin: The same way Chronos enforced Fulcans over Alastors
[20:52] Falerin: But
[20:53] Falerin: You will remain in this tree regardless
[20:53] * Brink sighs in slight relief.
[20:53] Falerin: The effects you induce now have nothing to do with you at all
[20:53] Rimblade: "Blast all! I shall need to start again."
[20:53] Adam_Hartholm: Oh, crap.
[20:53] Falerin: You should have learned something tho
[20:53] Legault: Is there still a chance to fix this...?
[20:53] Falerin: When The'Galin messes arround with uncreation and temporal reimaging
[20:53] Falerin: he is exact
[20:53] Falerin: and generally very much so
[20:54] Falerin: You touch the very periphery
[20:54] Falerin: and you are....
[20:54] Falerin: well
[20:54] * LordBarrius fades into the room and rather promptly loses his footing, hitting the floor with a solid thud and not moving from the spot.
[20:54] Falerin: Its slaughter isn't it
[20:54] Falerin: So anyway....
[20:54] * Lkeas nods mechanically and stifles a sob.
[20:54] * Xforce raises an eyebrow, then nods slowly. "That may perhaps be best... no ill effects will come, then, from sharing my knowledge with that already present in the plane?"
[20:54] Falerin: return to Caelstia
[20:54] Falerin: and decide how to proceed
[20:54] Falerin: Do you Choose Charasuke and his son to live
[20:54] Falerin: Or Ryuusei
[20:54] * Adam_Hartholm walks over to Lkeas, then hovers next to her, uncertain what to do.
[20:54] Falerin: That is your call
[20:55] ZLOK: Hah, it's not that easy.
