Angelostate606: (*WAVES!*)
Lithaladhwen: (And Idran is incorrect. It's just 20 years.)

Besyanteo has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Hi Bes.)
Besyanteo: (Hi. I return from food!)
Arch mage144: (OK, this is second gen, I see.)
Besyanteo: (With Rahxephon musics)
Lithaladhwen: (We don't have to be at Gunnir, methinks. We should be in Doma during the winter break.)
pd Rydia: ( o_o)
Angelostate606: (*Nod nod*)
pd Rydia: (there's an email in the chat)
pd Rydia: (I don't think I've seen that before)
Besyanteo: (She's always that way. =D)
dragongurl4390: ((iChat user))
Besyanteo: (Hi BB!)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (Hi Bes!)
Lithaladhwen: (Oniichan is an iChat man, as Lenore says.)
pd Rydia: (fancy)
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
Arch mage144: (She? Oniichan is a man.)
Besyanteo: (Whoops!)
Besyanteo: (Sorry.)
dragongurl4390: ((XD))
Lithaladhwen: (Hence Oniichan and not Oneechan.)
Angelostate606: (So Doma in Winter, aye?)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (Yes I do indeed have Gonads)
Arch mage144: (And strife?)
Lithaladhwen: (I have gonads, too. It's just that mine are innies.)
Angelostate606: (READY!)
Lithaladhwen: (Zea link )
Angelostate606: <Koravel>
Besyanteo: (crap, afk)
Angelostate606: (Just say when, Ashley)
dragongurl4390: ((I don't know how to link to my chars XD))
Lithaladhwen: (Tara..... Second Generation Arpee....Initialize!)
Angelostate606: (Edit --> Insert Hyperlink)
Lithaladhwen: (Make it so, BattleAccountant!)
Angelostate606: (*salute* I'll do my best, captain!)
dragongurl4390: ((*Confused*))
Arch mage144: (How long will it take to crap? I hope he comes back soon.)
dragongurl4390: ((I meant in my thread. there are a bajillion of them(())
Arch mage144: (Otherwise I will get worried.)
Arch mage144: (This one. Whoops.)
Lithaladhwen: (Better font.)
Arch mage144: (Yeah, I'm either color-blind or my laptop screen is hard to read.)
Angelostate606: *It's a snowy day in Doma, as it usually is this time of year. People are outside only if they have to be, so the streets aren't that crowded. Taverns and shoppes, on the other hand are experiencing much patronage today*
dragongurl4390: (( Ten Kuroi ))
Angelostate606: *Walking down one of the said-non-busy streets is a very tall man, young looking, with long white hair. He's dressed in a dark suit with a black cloak draped over his shoulders*
Angelostate606: *Oh, look! Pointed ears...*
Angelostate606: (Feel free to jump in, y'all.)
dragongurl4390: "Come on!" *Calling back to his friend. brushes one of the red streaks of his mostly black long hair out of his face*
Lithaladhwen: *Walking in the other direction is a person of ambiguous gender in thick black robes with the hood pulled up to shield from snow. This person has a huge book in hand.*
Lithaladhwen: <Zea>
dragongurl4390: "I'm coming! Would you just slow down?" *calls the MUCH smaller boy*
Arch mage144: <James Paynus Silvar>
Angelostate606: *Zea may or may not see a resemblance*
Lithaladhwen: (Lenore, could you pick a darker font?)
Lithaladhwen: (I also request that Tara bold hers if possible.)
Lithaladhwen: (Lots of light grey.)
Angelostate606: (Bolded.)
dragongurl4390: *Runs up to the big tall boy* "So where are we going anyway?" *Is so cute it's almost hard to look at him*
dragongurl4390: ((Tenshi- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/PockyAddict/TenshiNamidaText.jpg ))
Lithaladhwen: (Thanks Tara. I love you forever.)
dragongurl4390: ((Kuroi and Tenshi- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/PockyAddict/ScandalousSmallText.jpg ))
Lithaladhwen: (Or at least, me love you long time.)
dragongurl4390: ((XD))
Arch mage144: (......)
Arch mage144: (Not permitted.)
Angelostate606: (*feels lurved!!*)
Arch mage144: (Controlling boyfriend says no loving long time.)
dragongurl4390: ((Dragon girl says *WHACK BRIAN*))
Arch mage144: (Brian says GODMODING = IMMUNITY)
Lithaladhwen: (Nonelemetal attack. Brian dies.)
pd Rydia: (but are your protected against godMODDing?)
Angelostate606: *Pulls a short cigarette out of his pocket followed by some matches; sticks the cigarette between his lips and strikes a match, lighting it*
Angelostate606: *Takes a long drag*
Angelostate606: *looks around*
Arch mage144: (No, that is my one weakness, in fact)
Lithaladhwen: *glances up*
Lithaladhwen: ¬_¬
Lithaladhwen: *for her own amusement she attempts to determine how long the Cigarette Smoking Man has to live*
Lithaladhwen: *Reaper powers ahoy.*
Angelostate606: *Oddly enough, smoking has no effect on his longevity.*
Arch mage144: (We don't know that, he hasn't died yet.)
Lithaladhwen: (That has nothing to do with natural lifespan.)
Arch mage144: (So we don't know how long he will live.)
Lithaladhwen: (She wants to know when he's going to die!)
Besyanteo: (With reaper powers. :o)
pd Rydia: (ooh, nice. So it only harms the people around him.)
pd Rydia: (there's something deliciously wicked about that.)
Angelostate606: (Heh; let's see what her reaper powers tell her.)
Lithaladhwen: (There is. I like it.)
Arch mage144: (Second-hand smoke causes minimal health risk, but that's a topic for another day :-( )
Lithaladhwen: (That means Yadali won't get lung cancer from all the pot.)
dragongurl4390: ((XD))
Angelostate606: *Blows the smoke slowly*
Lithaladhwen: *coughs a little as she passes him*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I hate that shit. Stinks worse than what I've got curing in my basement.
dragongurl4390: *Brushes silver hair out of eyes* *Glances at smoking guy distastefully with his red eyes*
Angelostate606: *Glances at the cougher and takes another long drag*
KnightsofSquare: (Second-hand smoke just about kills me :D)
dragongurl4390: "How rude," *mutter*
Angelostate606: Forgive me, madam. *he says dryly*
Lithaladhwen: *pulls her hood back and turns to look at him*
Angelostate606: *Blows more smoke.* It drives the cold away.
Lithaladhwen: *blinks once*
Arch mage144: (Actually, wait, I take that back, I'm citing the wrong source)
Lithaladhwen: Don't worry about it. Doesn't matter.
dragongurl4390: *Glances at them*
pd Rydia: (so do fireworks. :-( It's sad.)
Angelostate606: *Barely regards her and begins to turn to continue walking*
Lithaladhwen: (Koravel is a mage, and he can tell that her aura is wonky. Full of death, it is.)
Arch mage144: (Some causal relationship for second hand-smoke exposure with lung cancer has been established for roughly 1.6% of cases, apparently)
Lithaladhwen: IM: Yeah. S'what I thought.
Angelostate606: *Stops suddenly, looking at her.*
Arch mage144: (God only knows how they figured that out)
Lithaladhwen: IM: Elves and demons. Whatever.
Lithaladhwen: *continues walking, oblivious to his inspection*
Angelostate606: *Takes another long drag and then drops the cigarette on the ground, stomping it out*
Angelostate606: *Begins to follow her with one eyebrow cocked*
dragongurl4390: *Something about these two boys is odd. Their aura is EXTREMELY HIGHLY magical*
OnlineHost: Angelostate606 rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
Lithaladhwen: *doesn't notice immediately, and continues her course through the market*
Angelostate606: *he senses the other magical presences but is fascinated by the aura full of death; it's been a while since he's encountered one of those...*
Lithaladhwen: *Yeah. Koravel can tell that she's either a necromancer, a freak, or both.*
pd Rydia: (hmmm...)
pd Rydia: (I need a name)
dragongurl4390: ((Alex))
Angelostate606: *He walks around a boothe and faces her head-on*
Lithaladhwen: (Damn it!)
Lithaladhwen: (Everyone is named Alex)
dragongurl4390: ((XD))
pd Rydia: (yeah, actually)
Lithaladhwen: (Eugene.)
Lithaladhwen: (Clarissa.)
Lithaladhwen: (Ricardo.)
Angelostate606: (Stanley.)
pd Rydia: (though I was looking for something [1] common, and [2] unisex)
pd Rydia: (and alex fits the bill)
Lithaladhwen: (Stuttering Stanley! Stuttering Stanley!)
Besyanteo: (Riley!)
Besyanteo: (Tristan!)
pd Rydia: (ORILEY?)
Lithaladhwen: (The Hyral father and Yadali's fox are both named Alex.)
Angelostate606: *He studies her, squinting an eye*
pd Rydia: (Dia's dad is an alex)
Lithaladhwen: ....*halts*
Lithaladhwen: Do you need something?
Angelostate606: You're a necromancer.
dragongurl4390: ((Hey wait! I Just realized that most of my characters are so still alive and young right now XDDD))
Besyanteo: (Charlie! =D)
Lithaladhwen: And you're an elf. If we're done stating the obvious?
Angelostate606: Cheeky.
Arch mage144: *from a distance* Hey, Zea!
Lithaladhwen: *glances over her shoulder at the sound of James' voice*
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, that's me. You have something intelligent to say?
Arch mage144: There you are!
Arch mage144: Always, duh.
Angelostate606: You're awfully young to be in that practice.
Angelostate606: Wouldn't you say?
Lithaladhwen: No.
Miss LSarithe: (2nd Gen?)
Lithaladhwen: I wouldn't.
Lithaladhwen: But you can if you awnt.
Lithaladhwen: *want
Arch mage144: *catches up and looks at Koravel like he's looking at a bat stuck to flypaper*
Arch mage144: Uh...yeah. Who's your creepy friend?
Lithaladhwen: IM: This guy is a prick.
Lithaladhwen: Is he creepy?
Arch mage144: ...*looks at Koravel closely*
Angelostate606: *Stands expressionless*
dragongurl4390: *Hops on Kuroi's back* "WHEE!"
pd Rydia: (>3)
dragongurl4390: "Tenshi! GAK!"
Arch mage144: *looks at his stamped out cigarette* Maybe not so bad. He's not your uncle or something, is he?
Lithaladhwen: I'm not a good judge of what's creepy anymore. But the fact that James can see you means you'rs alive. Good work on that.
Arch mage144: Can I bum a smoke?
Lithaladhwen: *you're
Lithaladhwen: (Many typos tonight.)
Arch mage144: (You're plane can't handle it.)
Angelostate606: *Reaches into his pocket and pulls out the pack of cigarettes, with one sticking out*
Angelostate606: Zea, is it? I believe you know my son.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Don't do it. You don't want to know. Don't check. Don't check.
Lithaladhwen: ....
Lithaladhwen: What?
Arch mage144: *takes it and lights it with a cantrip, producing an impressive shower of multicolored sparks--way too flashy for lighting a cigarette. Probably intentionally so.*
Lithaladhwen: >_>
Lithaladhwen: IM: Ah, James.
Angelostate606: My son. You're a "friend" of his, hmm?
Lithaladhwen: Who. Is your son. Friend.
dragongurl4390: "Ooh, pretty lights! Go over there, Kuroi!"
blender_bunny@mac.com: (Well Oniichan is stepping out fer a bit loverlies.)
Angelostate606: Quillan.
Lithaladhwen: Oh. Heh.
dragongurl4390: *Does so*
Lithaladhwen: No, I'm not. Near as I can tell your son doesn't have friends.
Lithaladhwen: Did you need something?
pd Rydia: (tah tah)
blender_bunny@mac.com has left the room.
Angelostate606: Is that so? *grins*
Angelostate606: No. I suppose not. *the grin stretches to a smile* I'll be on my way.
dragongurl4390: "My friend wanted to know what you used to make those sparks.""They were so pretty!"
Arch mage144: *starts snickering*
Arch mage144: *looks over at the people addressing him*
Arch mage144: Huh?
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, do that. I think he inherited your charm, mister.
Arch mage144: I did it with my fingers.
Lithaladhwen: Explains a lot.
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow at the two like they're crazy*
Angelostate606: *Pulls out another cigarette, lights it and takes a drag*
Angelostate606: That's the best news I've heard all year.
Lithaladhwen: You lead a sad life.
Arch mage144: *takes a drag on his cigarette like he's a character in a film noir*
Angelostate606: *blows the smoke* Farewell.
dragongurl4390: "Your fingers? REALLY?"
dragongurl4390: "Ten, you sound like an idiot."
Lithaladhwen: *turns away from Koravel* James, who are these?
Angelostate606: *Begins walking in the direction from where he came*
Arch mage144: Random fans.
dragongurl4390: "You'll have to pardon my friend; he's not quite used to the human realms and all of it's possibilities."
pd Rydia: ::as Mr. Charming makes his exit, a cat-eared girl in her late teens bumps into him::
Lithaladhwen: *to Kuroi* Happens.
pd Rydia: ::she's wearing a very puffy coat, which seems to be an encumbrance of sorts::
Arch mage144: *starts coughing and bashes himself on the chest with his fist* HACKACHKCHACK!
Lithaladhwen: The surface is screwy sometimes.
Arch mage144: Erm. Ugh. *coughs again* Human realms?
Arch mage144: Where're you from?
Angelostate606: (Font...colors...too...similar...*eyetwitch)
pd Rydia: (I'm changing)
Arch mage144: ('kay)
dragongurl4390: He chuckles. "We're Fae. We come from the Faerie Realm."
Angelostate606: 6.6 Pardon. *sneer*
Arch mage144: Oh...fairies. *rolls his eyes*
Arch mage144: You're fairies and you've never seen magic before?
dragongurl4390: "Not that kind of magic!"
Lithaladhwen: Then what kind?
dragongurl4390: "Tenshi, shut up."
pd Rydia: ::looks a bit startled at the reaction::
Arch mage144: ...the kind that makes sparkles is foreign to fey?
pd Rydia: Sorry. Didn't mean to bump into you.
pd Rydia: ...but you don't need to be mean about it.
Angelostate606: *Takes another long drag on the cigarette and continues walking*
dragongurl4390: "Elemental magics. Not usually magics that are just for show. Our rulers currently shun showy magics. However, when we fly, our wings make little glittery things."
Lithaladhwen: Oh, interesting. I haven't... done much work with fae.
Lithaladhwen: *James knows what she means.*
Arch mage144: That's a strange kind of fey. *quirks an eyebrow*
Arch mage144: *it should be noted that James has very fey-like wings himself--in case you missed the art*
dragongurl4390: "We're not in Fairy form, sir."
pd Rydia: ::mutters:: Well, no wonder I was supposed to visit Doma first...
dragongurl4390: "We have pretty wings when we are!"
Arch mage144: Explains a lot.
Lithaladhwen: Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm Zea Mazuo. What are your names?
Angelostate606: *And he disappears around the corner*
dragongurl4390: "I'm sorry for my friend...HE's a bit...I don't know. He's coming off something. He's not usually like this.
dragongurl4390: "
dragongurl4390: "I am Kuroi Honou, and this is Tenshi Namida."
dragongurl4390: "HI!"
pd Rydia: ::starts nudging, "excuse me"ing, and sneaking her way through the streets, the opposite direction Rudeman left::
Lithaladhwen: *is nudged past* Whoops. Sorry.
Arch mage144: Coming off something? What, has he been smoking something stronger than tobacco? *takes one last drag on his borrowed cigarette before pitching it*
pd Rydia: Oh, sorry, ma'am!
Arch mage144: IM: Fey and druids, always up in the clouds.
Angelostate606: *walking up the street toward Zea and the rest of the people is a young, dark-haired girl*
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs* It's fine. Don't worry about it.
Lithaladhwen: And...no ma'am. I'm seventeen. *smirk*
dragongurl4390: "As a matter of fact, he was drugged and kidnapped. I just got him back."
Arch mage144: .......
Arch mage144: ...tough break.
Angelostate606: <Glykeria>
Lithaladhwen: ....definitely.
pd Rydia: Oh, you're my age!
Lithaladhwen: *nods to the stranger* Maybe.
Lithaladhwen: Name's Zea. *offers a hand*
Arch mage144: *looks back and forth between the fey and the new chick*
Angelostate606: *Spots Zea amidst several others she doesn't know*
Angelostate606: *approaches the group*
Lithaladhwen: Hey, Glykeria. Hit Quillan today?
Angelostate606: Well, if it isn't my favorite person. And no, unfortunately not.
Lithaladhwen: Well, why the hell not? *smirk*
Angelostate606: I haven't seen him, thank heaven.
Lithaladhwen: Lucky. I just met the sire of our beloved Quillan.
dragongurl4390: "He wasn't very nice."
Lithaladhwen: They've got around the same level of ....social skills.
Angelostate606: .....oh.
pd Rydia: I'm Kris. ::reaches out and shakes the offered hand--with a very fluffy hand::
Lithaladhwen: *describes Koravel* You know who I mean?
Angelostate606: o.O
pd Rydia: ::it doesn't look to be any sort of normal Nekonian hand, but more of a human hand...fluffified::
Lithaladhwen: *shakes Kris' hand* Nice to meet you, by the way.
Angelostate606: Long white hair, you say?
Lithaladhwen: >_> Yeah. Met him?
Arch mage144: Zea, who's this? *refs Glykeria*
Lithaladhwen: Oh, shit. Sorry.
Angelostate606: o.o
Lithaladhwen: James, this is Glykeria.
dragongurl4390: "HI!"
Lithaladhwen: Glykeria is.... an acquaintance... of someone we both think is a prick.
dragongurl4390: "Tenshi, shut up."
pd Rydia: P-pleasure. 6.6; ::tucks hand back into her sleeve::
Lithaladhwen: You haven't met the prick in question, I think.
Angelostate606: (pause)
Lithaladhwen: (Pausing!)
Angelostate606: (Sorry about that; continue)
Lithaladhwen: (Okay!)
Angelostate606: I...have met him...
Lithaladhwen: Anyway. That guy who was talking to me? Prick's father.
Angelostate606: *Her eyes glaze over as if remembering something*
Lithaladhwen: (Brian is AFK getting booze.)
Angelostate606: I...must have just missed him.
Lithaladhwen: (For some reason James requires it.)
Angelostate606: *Recovers and regards all those surrounding her*
dragongurl4390: "He was a prick. Be glad you did."
Angelostate606: Forgive me. I'm Glykeria.
dragongurl4390: "Forgive me as well, I'm Kuroi Honou."
Angelostate606: Pleased to meet you Kuroi.
Arch mage144: (This is not necessarily the case.)
Arch mage144: Okay, so. Hold on a second.
dragongurl4390: "The kid on my back is Tenshi Namida. He's coming off some nasty knock out drugs, so he's a little loopy."
dragongurl4390: "HIIIIII!" *Waves*
Angelostate606: Hello, Tenshi!
Arch mage144: Kuroi. Tenshi. Glykeria. Fuzzball.
pd Rydia: <.<;;
Arch mage144: Is that everybody?
dragongurl4390: "How are you?"
Angelostate606: Fuzzball? And who are you? *addressing James*
Lithaladhwen: I'm Zea Mazuo, but I think I'm covered.
dragongurl4390: *It can be noted that Tenshi is sooooo cute it's ridiculous. *
pd Rydia: Chris. My name is Chris.
Angelostate606: *Is going into "new person" overdrive*
pd Rydia: *just how cute, and what manner of cuteness are we talking here?*
pd Rydia: *baby cute? little puppy cute?*
Angelostate606: *looks back at the cat-girl* Glad to meet you, Chris.
dragongurl4390: ((Puppy cute. Fuzzy puppy with pig purple eyes.))
dragongurl4390: "HIII!"
dragongurl4390: "Tenshi, shut up! You're making youself look like an idiot."
Lithaladhwen: *laughs*
Angelostate606: *Chuckles at Tenshi*
dragongurl4390: "I am?" *Cocks head*
pd Rydia: *just how fuzzy is Tenshi?*
dragongurl4390: "Indeed."
Angelostate606: *Ruffles his hair*
Arch mage144: Right, Chris. I'm not good with names. Missed one.
dragongurl4390: (( http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/PockyAddict/TenshiNamida-1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/alb ums/v644/PockyAddict/TenshiNamidaText.jpg ))
pd Rydia: ::nods to James:: It's alright.
Angelostate606: So, now it's my turn: Kuroi, Tenshi, Chris.
dragongurl4390: *Giggles*
Angelostate606: So who are you? *to James*
Lithaladhwen: (Broken link.)
pd Rydia: (I got it)
dragongurl4390: ((Which one?))
Arch mage144: (It's a double link.)
dragongurl4390: ((*Confused*))

dragongurl4390: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/PockyAddict/TenshiNamida-1.jpg ))
Angelostate606: So...Quillan's father...what did he say?
Lithaladhwen: Remarked on my field. Told me I seemed too young for it.
Lithaladhwen: Seemed glad to hear that his son is an asshole.
Angelostate606: *nod*
Arch mage144: Who'd be glad to know that?
Arch mage144: ...I mean. Him. But.
dragongurl4390: *Slides off Kuroi's back*
Angelostate606: *Wrinkles her forehead*
Lithaladhwen: *shrug* I don't know. I don't have any context for normal fatherly behavior.
dragongurl4390: "WHEEE!"
Angelostate606: Where did he go?
Arch mage144: .......
Arch mage144: Uh...
Arch mage144: ...maybe you shouldn't say things like that. That's weird.
Lithaladhwen: I don't know. He just left. You have business with him or something?
Angelostate606: *Bites her lip and then shakes her head* No...I don't.
Arch mage144: Is he really all that bad? Can't be worse than my father, the overbearing prat.
Angelostate606: *pulls her shawl up tighter around her shoulders* It's cold out here...
dragongurl4390: *Walks over to her* "HE's mean. just ignore him"
pd Rydia: If you're talking about the same rude man that I bumped into, what with the [traits of Koravel] and stuff, he went that way...
Angelostate606: What's your name? *to James*
pd Rydia: ::points::
dragongurl4390: "That's the firs intelligent thing you've said all day little buddy."
dragongurl4390: "That's James."
Lithaladhwen: >_> Glykeria? That guy was a pretty powerful mage. I'd suggest you leave powerful mages with no social skills to their business.
Arch mage144: My name is James Silvar.
Angelostate606: James. Thank you.
Angelostate606: Powerful mage? What makes you think that?
Lithaladhwen: I can tell by looking. His aura. He's got a good one.
dragongurl4390: *Kuroi is rather handsome, if not kind of freaky with his black and red hair and red eyes.*
pd Rydia: ::nods:: He doesn't seem like the sort of person to share tea with...aura?
Arch mage144: Does he? I didn't even bother to look, I just wanted a cigarette. I haven't had one in forever.
Angelostate606: A good aura? What does that mean?
Lithaladhwen: (Zea has blue hair and violet eyes. I'm sure she'll cope.)
Lithaladhwen: Here. C'mere, Glykeria.
Arch mage144: IM: Oh, man, Zea, don't do something weird in public again...
Lithaladhwen: (You shut up HAIR BOY you.)
pd Rydia: ::watches with interest::
pd Rydia: ::what is an aura?::
pd Rydia: ::a curious little pile of secrets, as far as Chris is concerned!::
CGNakibe: (Heh)
Lithaladhwen: You're a mage. This is a neat trick that they may not have gone over yet, but I'm sure your teachers use it on you all the time.
Angelostate606: I mean, you talk of him as if he's evil...but you say he has a good aura...
pd Rydia: (what is a cool? an adorable pile of puppies)
Angelostate606: Alright.
dragongurl4390: ((Indeed))
Lithaladhwen: Good as in strong, not good as in cute and nice.
Arch mage144: ...yeah.
Arch mage144: He's a good mage. Doesn't make him a good guy.
pd Rydia: IM: Cute and mice...
Lithaladhwen: They show you how to check people's auras?
Angelostate606: I see.
Arch mage144: Wait, you go to Gunnir?
Angelostate606: No; I've never had the need to.
Angelostate606: I do.
Lithaladhwen: 'kay. Here.
Lithaladhwen: Look at that guy. *points to some random non-mage*
Arch mage144: What the hell? You must've taken some fucked up classes.
Angelostate606: *Nods*
dragongurl4390: *Flops down on ground* "Iiiiiiiii'm confuzzzed."
Arch mage144: They taught us that early on in Introduction to Astral Physics.
Lithaladhwen: Focus on the astral plane, the source of your magic. You use it to access everything else, so you are probably pretty familiar with it.
pd Rydia: ::ears flick forward with interest::
Angelostate606: *Raises an eyebrow at James* I took what it relevent to my specialization.
Arch mage144: I graduated about a year and a half ago. I'm an archmage, technically. *smirk*
pd Rydia: ^o__o^
Lithaladhwen: His astral signature, his magical presence, is totally different from mine or James' or even yours.
pd Rydia: Archmage? What's that mean?
Angelostate606: *does so*
dragongurl4390: "What about me?"
dragongurl4390: "Tenshi, shut up."
dragongurl4390: ((They would have a different aura as well.))
dragongurl4390: "I don't wanna!"
Arch mage144: It means that I fulfilled all of the requirements necessary for Archmage-level graduation at a magical academy, primarily a "double-major" in two schools of magic and several general prerequisites.
Lithaladhwen: *With some difficulty, Glykeria can focus on the astral and discern how powerful many mages are, and sometimes an area of special talent.*
pd Rydia: ::blink::
Arch mage144: I also fulfilled all elective course requirements, but everyone does that without trouble.
Angelostate606: I see.
pd Rydia: So who do you get your magic from?
dragongurl4390: "Uhhhh...that sounds hard."
Arch mage144: Myself, of course. *looks at Chris like she's crazy*
dragongurl4390: *Big puppy eyes from the ground*
Angelostate606: This man in particular appears to be non-magical. Am I right?
pd Rydia: ::looks like she's politely not looking at James like he's crazy::
pd Rydia: Do you know Stacey, then?
Lithaladhwen: *to Glykeria* Yup.
Arch mage144: I manipulate the astral through force of will.
Angelostate606: *Nods*
Arch mage144: You mean the goddess of Fluffiness?
pd Rydia: Well, yeah.
Angelostate606: *looks down at Tenshi and smiles*
Angelostate606: Would you like for me to check your aura, Tenshi?
dragongurl4390: "YEAH!"
Arch mage144: Yeah, I know of her, I can't claim to know her personally.
pd Rydia: ("What about the GoF?" "The Goddess of Fluffiness? I don't believe she exists!")
Arch mage144: She's kind of obscure. Are you one of her followers?
dragongurl4390: "He's actually sixteen."
dragongurl4390: "Please don't mind him..."
Arch mage144: IM: It'd make sense. She's quite the fuzzball.
Angelostate606: Alright.
dragongurl4390: "YAAAAAAY!"
Angelostate606: *Crouches down to be eye-level with Tenshi and smiles*
Angelostate606: Are you ready?
Lithaladhwen: *rubs the back of her neck*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Since when was I playing magic trivia tutor?
pd Rydia: Of course! I'm a fluffy mage--she's the source of my magic!
Arch mage144: IM: Man, why the hell does she not know this? She's Gunnir-educated.
dragongurl4390: "MHM!"
Lithaladhwen: *to Chris* No, I know what you mean. I'm.... kind of similar, I think.
Angelostate606: *Does as she was instructed before*
Arch mage144: Oh, I get it. You're one of those divine caster types. You get help with your magic. Or perhaps you don't actually get help, you just get psychological support. Close enough.
pd Rydia: A friend of mine growing up was a fluffy mage, too, but then she tried to make all the grain in a silo fluffy
Arch mage144: I suppose it counts as help if you believe it does.
dragongurl4390: *his aura is unlike that of a human, and REALLY, REALLY magical.*
Arch mage144: ...that's ridiculous, who'd eat fluffy grain?
pd Rydia: Well, that was the idea.
Lithaladhwen: James? Have I ever gotten concrete assistance from my deity?
pd Rydia: Plus, it would have burst the silo.
pd Rydia: Stacey didn't like that.
Angelostate606: Well, Tenshi, you have a very strong aura.
Arch mage144: I have reason to believe you have.
Arch mage144: So...yeah, sure.
Lithaladhwen: Then I think maybe you shouldn't discount that she has the same connections.
dragongurl4390: "REALLY!?" *Wide eyes*
Lithaladhwen: Just....different gods, that's all.
Arch mage144: Fair enough.
pd Rydia: So, um, my friend doesn't get to use fluffy magic any more.
Angelostate606: Yep, you do!
Arch mage144: I just didn't really think too hard about...fluffy magic, to be honest.
Arch mage144: It seems less cosmologically significant than death magic.
Arch mage144: ...death is...well...necessary.
Arch mage144: ...is fluffiness?
pd Rydia: It's really neat!
Angelostate606: *Ruffles his hair again*
Lithaladhwen: *sigh* I can't answer that.
Lithaladhwen: Chris? You take this one?
Angelostate606: IM: What a cutie.
pd Rydia: Well, I'm not as good at fluffy magic as others...
pd Rydia: ...I was trying to make my coat fluffy to make it warmer...
Angelostate606: *To Kuroi* So are you brothers?
dragongurl4390: *Big grin* "Cool!"
pd Rydia: The spell hit me instead.
dragongurl4390: "Best friends, actually."
pd Rydia: ::sighs::
pd Rydia: But I am warmer.
Angelostate606: *Grins* How long have you known each other?
dragongurl4390: "The king sent me after him after he got kidnapped and brought here. He figure I was the only one who loved him enough to deal with him coming off knock out drugs."
Angelostate606: Oh? How horrible. Why was he kidnapped?
Lithaladhwen: *tilts her head and listens*
dragongurl4390: "That's kind of complex..."
Arch mage144: ...oh, I see. That's how you became fuzzy.
Arch mage144: That doesn't answer my question, though.
Arch mage144: What's the cosmological value of fluffiness?
pd Rydia: All the fluffy races?
Lithaladhwen: *ignores James and Chris and listens to the kidnapping talk*
Angelostate606: I see...
dragongurl4390: He could now see he wasn't getting out of this.
Arch mage144: ...no, I mean...why...er...why is it important that things be fluffy?
dragongurl4390: "Okay."
pd Rydia: For warmth and cuddliness.
Angelostate606: *listening to Kuroi*
pd Rydia: Also, Stacey likes it.
dragongurl4390: "Well, Tenshi is useful. Useful in that he has more magic stored in his body than forty normal fae all put together. We're obviously a really magical race, but he...
dragongurl4390: well, he's abnormal. And his magic can be tapped."
Lithaladhwen: *nods*
T3chn0Namagomi has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Hey Nama.)
pd Rydia: (yo)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Oi)
dragongurl4390: "So, therefore, if someone really wanted a lot of magical energy, they could tap it out of him until he was dead and have enough magic to blow up the world."
Besyanteo: (blahhh.... too much going on. Bowwing out folks.)
Besyanteo has left the room.
pd Rydia: (bye!)
Lithaladhwen: *nods again*
Angelostate606: How awful. *looks sympathetically at Tenshi*
Lithaladhwen: I understand better than you think. It's good to have people who can look after you when that happens.
Lithaladhwen: It's good you're around, I guess.
dragongurl4390: "He takes good care of me!" *Nodnodnodnod*
dragongurl4390: "Yes. I do."
Angelostate606: Yes; he's very lucky to have a friend like you so willing to help him...
dragongurl4390: "And honestly, he's usually much more intelligible than this."
Lithaladhwen: It's okay. I don't hold it against him. I was kind of the same way in his place.
Angelostate606: *Smiles sadly* The drugs?
Lithaladhwen: So don't worry about it.
Arch mage144: I guess...if there's a god of it it being important to the god is good enough.
Arch mage144: ...and there are a lot of fluffy animals, sure.
Arch mage144: ...enough to blow up the world? That's a lot of magic? ]
Arch mage144: *looks like he's getting ideas*
dragongurl4390: "Yeah. It's bad news. I'm just hoping there's no permanent damage."
dragongurl4390: *Looks at James suspiciosly*
Angelostate606: *nods* How long has he been like this?
Lithaladhwen: I'm not a healer, I'm sorry. Couldn't really help you.
dragongurl4390: "Touch him and I'll personally gut you."
dragongurl4390: @ James
Lithaladhwen: *grins at the threat*
Lithaladhwen: What's your name again?
pd Rydia: ::looks startled::
Angelostate606: Kuroi, right?
dragongurl4390: *Scoots to Kuroi's legs* "That's my name. Don't wear it out."
Lithaladhwen: Well, Kuroi. James won't hurt him. He did the same thing for me once that you did for your friend.
Lithaladhwen: We understand.
Angelostate606: *grins*
dragongurl4390: "And yeah, I'm kinda protective of this little guy...I'm a year older."
Angelostate606: ...how old is Tenshi?
dragongurl4390: "I personally don't trust people farther than I can throw them until I know them better. And Ten? He's sixteen.":
pd Rydia: IM: I wonder if I have to worry about fleas...
dragongurl4390: "Uhuh."
Lithaladhwen: (This is great! It's like James isn't even here! Let's talk about him some more when Brian isn't looking! He'll never know!)
pd Rydia: (:D)
Arch mage144: (What?)
pd Rydia: (James smells)
Arch mage144: (Pretty good, actually)
Lithaladhwen: I'll be eighteen in a few months. James is... younger than I am, I think.
dragongurl4390: ((XD))
Arch mage144: (I just keep getting wrapped up in other conversations and IMs)
Arch mage144: (Sorry about that)
dragongurl4390: "I'll be eighteen soon."
Angelostate606: IM: Sixteen! He looks barely 7!
Arch mage144: Slightly. Not that it matters. It's a good thing, really.
Arch mage144: I'm one of the youngest archmagi to graduate. My father was 19, the loser.
Angelostate606: *nods* I just turned seventeen.
pd Rydia: ^o.o^ What's the normal age for graduation?
Angelostate606: It varies.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Location?)
Arch mage144: It takes about six years, whenever you start.
Angelostate606: It depends on how old a person is when they enter...
dragongurl4390: *Smiles slightly at her.* "What's your specialty?"
Arch mage144: Dad shipped me off as soon as he could. Six is the minimum, anyway.
dragongurl4390: *Ten looks at her curiously*
Angelostate606: Me? At Gunnir I study Maledictions and complex elemental studies, concentrating on shadow and fire.
pd Rydia: Oh, then, don't you owe your early graduation partly to your father?
pd Rydia: ::blinks::
Lithaladhwen: *snickers*
pd Rydia: Or was he also given that opportunity?
Angelostate606: You see...I was born with a bit of my own "Special ability"...
T3chn0Namagomi: (So, is this at Gunnir, I take it?)
Lithaladhwen: (Nope!)
pd Rydia: (Doma)
Lithaladhwen: (We're just talking about Gunnir.)
pd Rydia: (the stweets)
Angelostate606: *holds a hand out and snaps her fingers; when she opens her hand, a ball of fire sits there, floating just above her palm*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Ah! Good, good...very good.)
Arch mage144: Are you kidding?
dragongurl4390: "Hah...those are my specialties."
Arch mage144: I don't even owe my father his sperm.
Angelostate606: *Shakes it off*
pd Rydia: o_o
Lithaladhwen: What the hell is with you and your father, James?
pd Rydia: ^o_o^
dragongurl4390: "I like white magic."
Lithaladhwen: I've met him, like, once, and all I know is that he sucks at everything ever.
KnightsofSquare: (That's right, put the ears back in)
pd Rydia: (yessir)
dragongurl4390: "And...and...and...What's it called?"
Angelostate606: Do you go to another magical school? Or do you study privately?
KnightsofSquare: (wait, is this the official devotee of Stacey color now?)
pd Rydia: Err, that wasn't what I meant.
pd Rydia: (YES)
T3chn0Namagomi: *and onto the scene walks a rather...pale-skinned girl, with white hair, and unusually creepy-looking red eyes...*
Arch mage144: He's worthless, that's what. The guy takes credit for everything, even the stuff he didn't do, and thinks he's Ishtar's gift to Igala or something. Besides, with a father like him I can't even get any recognition on my own.
dragongurl4390: "Runic magic, Ten. Anyway, The Fae have a school for magical study."
Lithaladhwen: *With Zea's typical reaction to "creepy" things, she smiles and waves to her friend Fal.*
Arch mage144: Everything is, "oh, you're the son of General Silvar!" Fuck him. If it weren't for him, I'd be all-demon.
dragongurl4390: "THAT'S IT!"
pd Rydia: ...
pd Rydia: You know.
dragongurl4390: "Thank yew Kuroi!"
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, James. Humans suck.
Lithaladhwen: They should just all die.
Lithaladhwen: e_e
pd Rydia: James, is it?
Arch mage144: Hey, hey! I didn't say that!
Arch mage144: What?
pd Rydia: I didn't know your father at all except for you.
Arch mage144: You're one of the few.
pd Rydia: ^o_o^ Maybe you should stop talking about him all the time.
Arch mage144: Did you just show up in this country or something?
pd Rydia: I mean, you keep bringing him up.
Arch mage144: ......
Angelostate606: Runic magic? Well, Tenshi, when you're feeling better, you'll have to show me what you can do.
Lithaladhwen: She's right.
Arch mage144: *wings droop*
Lithaladhwen: And on top of that....
T3chn0Namagomi: *She is wearing a large amount of heavy clothing--brown cloak and pants, black tunic and boots...carrying a bow on her back...*
Lithaladhwen: You can't sleep with me and live in my house and bash humans at every chance!
Arch mage144: Yeah, yeah. Alright.
dragongurl4390: "oooooh. Okay!"
Arch mage144: ...no, I guess not...
Lithaladhwen: *hffs*
Arch mage144: IM: ...three-quarters human and she's still great in bed.
T3chn0Namagomi: *nods* It appears that we meet once again, Zea.
Arch mage144: ...alright, alrigth.
dragongurl4390: "I like this lady!" he says to Kuroi with a big smile.
Arch mage144: I guess not everyone who's a surfacio is ultimately all that terrible.
dragongurl4390: "Heh. SHe is a nice lady, isn't she?" *Smiles at her*
dragongurl4390: "Mmmmmmmhmmmmm!"
Angelostate606: *Smiles back and chuckles at Tenshi*
Lithaladhwen: *sighs*
pd Rydia: Oh, actually. I've been in Doma for about a month now. Getting to the capital in the winter is slow-going.
Lithaladhwen: It's like being around my fucking aunt again.
Angelostate606: Are you two from Doma?
pd Rydia: I'm on my way to Nekonia, actually, but Stacey specifically recommended coming to Doma City first.
pd Rydia: ::shrugs::
Lithaladhwen: IM: Griping about humans all the time. I'm going to smack him one of these days.
Arch mage144: It's a good city...for all its flaws.
Arch mage144: You know, Zea, despite my complaints about human this and human that, you continually impress me with your arcane talents.
T3chn0Namagomi: T2James: What does one's specific racial makeup have to do with how one is when asleep in bed?
Arch mage144: That thing with the hamsters? My GOD.
dragongurl4390: "Well...we're technically from the Faerie Realm, but we both have jobs here."
Arch mage144: ......
Lithaladhwen: *just sighs*
Arch mage144: Who the hell is telepathing me? *looks like he's just tired of hearing voices in his head*
Angelostate606: I see...what is it that you do?
Angelostate606 has left the room.
dragongurl4390: *Looks at Zea* "You don't like your Aunt?"
pd Rydia: It's very busy, and a lot more diverse than the countryside.
Lithaladhwen: *to the boy* My aunt doesn't like me because I have too much human in me.
Lithaladhwen: I don't pay attention to her.
T3chn0Namagomi: T2James: This would happen to be I.
dragongurl4390: "We work for an elf named Haku in her shop."
dragongurl4390: "oohhhhh...She doesn't like humans?"
Lithaladhwen: No, she doesn't. She's a demon. My mother is half-demon, and my father is human. So I'm mostly human, and when I'm home I hear about it a lot.
Arch mage144: Yeah, well, fucking quit it and speak if you want to talk to me. Goddamn psionicistis.
Arch mage144: *psionicists
dragongurl4390: "Ohhhhhh...okay...I like humans!"
Arch mage144: Didn't they teach you that was rude at Gunnir, talking inside people's heads instead of with words?
Lithaladhwen: ^_^ That's nice of you. I'm glad.
dragongurl4390: *Big smile*
AngeloState606 has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (WB)
AngeloState606: (What'd I miss?)
T3chn0Namagomi: I am not damned by any gods, and I am likewise confused about how speaking through thought is that serious of a breach of etiquette on one's part.
KnightsofSquare: (He continued, "...they taste delicious!"
Lithaladhwen: (I'll update you.)
pd Rydia: IM: "Remember not to feel too bad for humans--they can be great people, despite not being fluffy." "...I'll keep that in mind, Stacey."
AngeloState606: Haku?
AngeloState606: The name is somewhat familiar.
Arch mage144: *turns to Fal, wherever she's at*
Lithaladhwen: (De-bold, madam. You've got the Anniefont on.)
AngeloState606: (No no; Annie's font is maroon-ish)
Arch mage144: Look, it's rude. Speak with your tongue, not with your brain. It's invasive. How can you not know that? It's like shoving your fingers into my head.
Lithaladhwen: *looks over her shoulder* James, is a white-haired girl who talks too formally telepathing you?
Lithaladhwen: (That's right. She has the same font as Holly. Forgot.)
AngeloState606: (S'okay)
Lithaladhwen: Because if she is, tell Fal I said hi.
AngeloState606: *Looks at Kuroi*
dragongurl4390: "Yeah, Haku. She's an Ice mage enchantress."
AngeloState606: An enchantress? *nods* I've never met one of those before...
AngeloState606: But, then again, I'm still young. *smiles*
Lithaladhwen: (Haku is waaaay before Zea's time, and therefore she doesn't know her. =D )
T3chn0Namagomi: I personally do not perceive as to how it can be so particularly invasive. Also, I believe I have already responded to your initial greeting, Zea, in case you have forgotten.
pd Rydia: It was nice to meet you...I think I better go find myself a place to stay for the evening.
AngeloState606: *pulls the shawl tighter around her shoulders again*
Arch mage144: ...what?
Arch mage144: ...yeah, sure, Fal...Zea says hi.
Arch mage144: Damnit, how can you not understand that? Get some fucking manners!
Arch mage144: They don't sell them at the store, but they might as well.
Lithaladhwen: *stands* Okay, Fal. *finds the telepath* Sometimes you just have to do things because people ask you not to.
AngeloState606: How do you get back home? To the faerie realm?
Arch mage144: It seems only people with money have them.
Lithaladhwen: *not do things because
dragongurl4390: A big scary guy comes around the corner, looking around.
pd Rydia: (exuent Dia)
Lithaladhwen: (Corrected to reflect actual meaning.)
Lithaladhwen: (Bye Dia!)
pd Rydia: (bai bai gais!)
AngeloState606: (Bye bye!)
dragongurl4390: *Spots the guy.* "Excuse us, but we have to go," he says hastily. "You may look for us at Haku's shop.
pd Rydia: (it was fun to rp with you :]]]])
pd Rydia: (WRITE ME!!!)
dragongurl4390: You'll be able to find it; it's called Fire and Ice Enchantments." *He was speaking very rapidly.
AngeloState606: Oh, alright. *looks somewhat disapponted*
dragongurl4390: *
Lithaladhwen: Hey, wait. What's going on?
T3chn0Namagomi: Judging from the traditional definition of manners, your language and verbal posturing appear to suggest that you too lack "manners"
AngeloState606: It was good to meet you!
Lithaladhwen: *glances to the big guy*
pd Rydia has left the room.
AngeloState606: *looks at the big guy as well*
dragongurl4390: "We need to go. And it was lovely meeting you as well. Please come visit us sometime."
Arch mage144: (Gaaaah! Stop using exeunt for a single person! Exeunt is plural!)
AngeloState606: *smiles* I will try when I am in town next
dragongurl4390: He picks Ten up and gets the hell out of there.
Lithaladhwen: Okay. Take care. And we'll hold off the big guy.
dragongurl4390: "Thank you!
dragongurl4390: "
Arch mage144: Look, you just don't get it, do you?
T3chn0Namagomi: *to Zea* Is that particularly true?
dragongurl4390: ((Okay, gotta go guys.))
Lithaladhwen: (Bye!)
AngeloState606: (tah!)
Arch mage144: Nothing I can do with my voice is as rude as you poking around in my brain, got that?
dragongurl4390: ((See yaaah))
dragongurl4390: The big guy, not seeing what he's looking for, keeps walking
AngeloState606: *glares*
Lithaladhwen: *to Fal* Yes. Sometimes you can't always tell what will piss people off until you do it and they tell you to stop.
Lithaladhwen: So he asked you not to do that. So, uh.... I don't know. Don't.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug*
AngeloState606: *looks at Zea* Well, I have lost track of the hour.
AngeloState606: I have to meet my parents shortly.
AngeloState606: Farewell, Zea. James.
Lithaladhwen: *to Glykeria* Oh, good deal. See you around.
T3chn0Namagomi: I do not comprehend. If you do not want your thoughts to be known, then why are you projecting them so loudly?
AngeloState606: *And she walks off*
Lithaladhwen: Fal. We've been over this. People who aren't telepaths don't know they're doing it.
Arch mage144: (BRB urination station)
AngeloState606: (I gotta go, too; neeeed sleeep)
AngeloState606: (Nighto!)
Lithaladhwen: So if you can hear him just.... don't say anything. Pretend you can't.
dragongurl4390: (Night!)
AngeloState606 has left the room.
dragongurl4390 has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...affirmative. I will pretend that I can't hear him thinking about your condition while you are in a bed.
Lithaladhwen: Okay. *smirk* Did he say good things, incidentally?
Arch mage144: ......
Arch mage144: Naturally, if you were reading my mind.
T3chn0Namagomi: He thought that you were "good in bed for three-fourths human". I still do not understand how racial composition affects one's condition when one is in a bed.
Lithaladhwen: Oh, well, that's very cute.
Lithaladhwen: I'm glad to know that.
Arch mage144: Much to my surprise, it doesn't seem to.
Lithaladhwen: *sighs*
Lithaladhwen: I'm not going to address any of the things that I'm thinking right now.
Lithaladhwen: But yeah, that's the general idea, Fal. If you can't help hearing him, just lie and pretend it isn't happening.
KnightsofSquare: (Deceit solves everything.
Arch mage144: ......
Arch mage144: *facepalms*
Lithaladhwen: (She's seventeen. She's not the most mature person in the world.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Affirmative. I will pretend that I am incapable of peering into his thoughts, regardless of how confusing they may be to myself.
Arch mage144: Yeah, uh, fuck off.
Arch mage144: ...man, why are we having to meet all the weird people today, Zea?
Lithaladhwen: Because you're with me.
Lithaladhwen: And I know all the weird people.
Lithaladhwen: You included.
Arch mage144: Is that so?
Arch mage144: I'm not all that weird.
Lithaladhwen: Everyone I know is weird, otherwise they'd realize I'm a freak who does awful awful things to reality and kill me.
Lithaladhwen: You haven't.
Lithaladhwen: Therefore you must be at least a little strange. Strange enough to appreciate me.
T3chn0Namagomi: I would beg to differ from that statement. The presence and type of wings you possess differentiates you from a majority of the populace in this city.
Arch mage144: Yeah, fair.
Arch mage144: But weird is pejorative. It implies negative connotations.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug*
Lithaladhwen: Eh. Eye of the beholder. When you use the word "human" it's got negative connotations.
Lithaladhwen: Depends on whose saying it.
Arch mage144: I don't know. I think the eye of the beholder emits an antimagic cone, or something, which would change my whole perspective on a lot of situations.
Arch mage144: Unless we're talking about all those other eyes.
Arch mage144: The ones with the crazy rays.
T3chn0Namagomi: I inquire as to what a beholder is.
Arch mage144: It's a crazy floating gas-sack creature with leathery brown skin and more eyes than you, me, and her all put together, most of them on stalks.
T3chn0Namagomi: And these eyes in question project magical energies?
KnightsofSquare: (This conversation is going places)
Arch mage144: Yeah.
Lithaladhwen: (Belated typo because it'll drive me nuts otherwise... *who's)
T3chn0Namagomi: Interesting.
Arch mage144: (Again, you're plane can't handle it.)
Arch mage144: ...you bet.
Lithaladhwen: Look. I need to return a library book.
Miss LSarithe: (MY plane has snakes on it. >:-( )
Arch mage144: (Zea needs to return some videotapes)
Lithaladhwen: So, I'll... see you in a minute or something.
Arch mage144: ...
Arch mage144: ...wait, wait. A library book? I'm going too. I need to check out something.
Lithaladhwen: .....yeah, okay.
Arch mage144: I do, seriously!
Arch mage144: I need a copy of "Doman Sociopath."
T3chn0Namagomi: What is the differentiation between a normal piece of literature and a "library book"?
Lithaladhwen: You get library books from the library on a temporary basis.
Arch mage144: One isn't yours and one is.
Arch mage144: You borrow the ones from the library.
Lithaladhwen: *sighs and goes on ahead while the others discuss the nature of booklending*
T3chn0Namagomi: Interesting.
Arch mage144: ...have you never heard of this before?
Arch mage144: Are you from another planet or something?
Lithaladhwen: (And yet, in another 1753 or so years, Zea will be asking the same kinds of questions. My, how the wheel turns.)
T3chn0Namagomi: I am not from another planet, however, I am from what people here would describe as "elsewhere".
Arch mage144: Yeah. Describe it.
Arch mage144: ...better than that.
Lithaladhwen: (This chat is tempting me. I think....that Zea is in a foul mood and I want to amuse myself.)
T3chn0Namagomi: ...upon recalling, I find myself incapable of remembering anything in particular about it except for the moment I was pulled out. My entire body was wracked with absolute pain while I was "gated" as they say, here.
Arch mage144: ......
Arch mage144: ...that's...strange.
Lithaladhwen: Good luck figuring that one out. Generally planar travel isn't so bad.
Arch mage144: So you don't know where you came from?
Arch mage144: Another plane, maybe?
Lithaladhwen: Looks like James is the only Gaeran native here. In fact, you could say he's the only surfacio in the group.
Lithaladhwen: *opens the library door and heads in*
T3chn0Namagomi: That is the most logical deduction anyone is capable of making on my origins, it appears to those who ask.
Arch mage144: *smacks himself in the face*
Arch mage144: IM: Man, I blew it.
Arch mage144: IM: Not getting any tonight.
Arch mage144: ...yeah, whatever.
Arch mage144: You're just foreign. That's good enough. This is Doma.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Gods damn it. I hate it when he goes on the "humans contribute nothing to the universe" kick. I fucking hate it. It's like I can't call him on it enough times!
Lithaladhwen: IM: It always comes up again.
Lithaladhwen: *sighs*
Lithaladhwen: IM: And Fal, I'm assuming you can hear me.
T3chn0Namagomi: It would appear to be so, seeing as I do not appear to be approached with any particular hatred from a majority of those I meet.
KnightsofSquare: (He's such a bigot. Humans contribute nothing, fluffiness contributes nothing...)
T3chn0Namagomi: T2Zea: That would be affirmative. May I inquire as to why you spend your time with him if he appears to annoy you in this fashion without cessation even after you have informed him not to?
Lithaladhwen: IM: I don't.... I don't know. He's a good guy. He just grates sometimes without realizing it.
Lithaladhwen: (Telepathic girl talk! Bet you wish they were talking in your head now, you ass.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
Arch mage144: (Bitches.)
Arch mage144: (Can't live with em', can't live without em'.)
Lithaladhwen: *lays her book on the returns counter*
T3chn0Namagomi: (It would be near impossible to get Fal into bed. Alcohol route included. XP)
Lithaladhwen: *she looks at Fal and shrugs* IM: So I don't know. He's a great guy when it comes down to the wire, but sometimes I wonder what the hell is going on.
Lithaladhwen: (Hideki was not going to try. Hideki is a gentleman, and his sensei has better manners as well.)
Arch mage144: (Neither is James)
Lithaladhwen: (Quinn might, though.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Indeed. Plus, she passes out after two drinks)
Arch mage144: ...........
Arch mage144: (Not much fun to sex up, then)
Arch mage144: (Unless you're into the unconscious, unresponsive chicks)
Lithaladhwen: James? You all right?
Idran1701: (Depends on how she is after 1.)
Arch mage144: What? Yeah, I guess.
Arch mage144: (XD)
Arch mage144: Thinking I should take back some of the shit I said earlier, that's all.
Lithaladhwen: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: (She doesn't get any looser, that's for sure)
Arch mage144: IM: Chance to redeem myself, you're so close.
Arch mage144: IM: Don't slip away from me now.
CGNakibe has left the room.
Arch mage144: Yeah, all that shit about surfacio. I'm more of one than you are, even. I was fucking raised here.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, you are.
T3chn0Namagomi: T2Zea: What does he mean by redeeming himself?
Arch mage144: *shrugs* Didn't mean to go off about my father.
Lithaladhwen: (Fal gets to watch lovers fight. I hope this is educational, you voyeuristic bitch.)
Lithaladhwen: IM: ...He pissed me off. I think he knows this.
Miss LSarithe: (zing)
Arch mage144: ...you just don't have to live with him. You...well, I guess you have your own problems, don't you.
Miss LSarithe: (Location?)
Lithaladhwen: No, I don'
Arch mage144: Guess I don't really live with him so much any more either.
Lithaladhwen: *I don't know what you're talking about. No one has problems but you James.
Arch mage144: *razz*
Arch mage144: I know better than that, come on. I went to Gunnir. I spent enough time around the goth kids in the basement to know better than that.
Arch mage144: Everybody's got their own issues to deal with.
KnightsofSquare: (But was he ever turned into a goat for a weekend?)
Arch mage144: Seriously, those guys were fucked up. Girls too.
KnightsofSquare: (If not, his college experience was wasted.)
Arch mage144: "We're going to summon demons, because our lives are meaningless and empty!"
Arch mage144: "Yo, demon here."
Arch mage144: "No, real demons! From HELL! And we're going to make deals with them so we can find a purpose in life!"
Arch mage144: *facepalming*
Lithaladhwen: IM: How does everything he says turn into some story about Gunnir?
T3chn0Namagomi: I do not understand the correlation between summoning and binding demonic presences, and the reported emptiness and meaninglessness of one's life.
Arch mage144: (He's more like his father than he would care to admit)
Arch mage144: Yeah, me neither.
Arch mage144: Those kids were retarded.
Lithaladhwen: *heavy sigh* Look. James. Just forget about it. It's not important. I'll be right back.
Lithaladhwen: Seriously.
Arch mage144: Sure.
Lithaladhwen: *heads off to go get gods-know-what*
T3chn0Namagomi: If I were to summon and bind a demon to my will, would that effectively make my life empty and meaningless as a result, or am I so for doing such an act in the initial place?
Arch mage144: I think...er...wait, cause and effect issues.
Arch mage144: See, I think they felt that somehow they would improve themselves by making deals with powerful demons because of some sort of strange stereotypes or something about powerful wizards.
Arch mage144: Powerful wizards always wind up trying to control things beyond themselves and failing. I have no idea why they keep trying with so many examples to learn from.
Arch mage144: You'd think they'd figure it out eventually. Always goes poorly.
Arch mage144: I guess it'd validate their existence if they were the first to pull it off.
Lithaladhwen: *While Zea is gone, someone James knows walks out of the history and geneology section at the far back of the library. She straightens her shirt a little before noting his presence.*
Lithaladhwen: *Quinn waves*
Arch mage144: .....
Arch mage144: Hey, Quinn.
T3chn0Namagomi: Does one's existence not validate itself by its very nature?
Arch mage144: *head scratch*
Arch mage144: Some people are too stupid to understand basic philosophy.
Lithaladhwen: *approaches the two* Hey James. New girlfriend?
Arch mage144: You mean your daughter?
Lithaladhwen: No. This girl. What's your name, Miss?
Arch mage144: Or this chick? 'cause if it's this girl, no way. She's an extradimensional freak. And I don't do extraplanar women.
Lithaladhwen: ....You don't, do you, James?
Lithaladhwen: I beg to differ.
Arch mage144: Well, not when they can't name their plane of origin.
Arch mage144: Also not when they fuck with my brain.
T3chn0Namagomi: May I inquire as to the definition of the word girlfriend?
Lithaladhwen: So they can fuck with the rest of you as long as they can name their plan of origin?
Arch mage144: Right.
Lithaladhwen: All right, then.
Arch mage144: ...it means a friend who is a girl.
Arch mage144: Also, it may imply that you are sleeping with them.
Arch mage144: IM: Foreign, sweet Exinde.
Lithaladhwen: "Sleeping with" being a euphemism for fucking.
Lithaladhwen: Like James and my daughter.
Arch mage144: Yeah, that.
Arch mage144: ......
Arch mage144: Yeah.
Lithaladhwen: Hi. I'm Quinn. I'm Zea's mom. *offers Fal a hand to shake*
T3chn0Namagomi: By the first statement, that would mean that Zea would effectively be my "girlfriend"? Or would this act of *seems to remain inert* "fucking," as you so state it, be a necessity for the term to be utilized?
Lithaladhwen: I think you need to be fucking. Are you and Zea having sex, too?
Arch mage144: O_O\
Arch mage144: IM: I fucking hope not!
T3chn0Namagomi: I do not believe that I am, to my effective recollection.
Lithaladhwen: Well, I was curious.
Arch mage144: How could you not know that?
T3chn0Namagomi: Judging from your mental reaction, it would appear that having sex is a particular bad thing to perform.
Lithaladhwen: James, what's got your boxers in a twist? Are you okay?
Lithaladhwen: And no, miss. Sex is wonderful. You should have as much as possible.
Lithaladhwen: You do need to keep track of it, however. *nod*
Arch mage144: IM: How does she know I wear boxers
Arch mage144: *?
Arch mage144: Sex is fine, just not with Zea. Stay away from my girl. *eyes at Fal*
T3chn0Namagomi: Your statement is accurate.
Lithaladhwen: ...*laughs outright*
T3chn0Namagomi: James is wearing boxers.
Lithaladhwen: *laughs harder* Oh, I figured he did.
Lithaladhwen: I mean, look at him. Boxers man.
Arch mage144: They're teal
Arch mage144: Not that that's your business.
Arch mage144: I can't sleep with you. You're her mother. That'd just be weird.
Arch mage144: So you don't need to know anything about my boxers.
Lithaladhwen: I could even make some good guesses as to what you're like in bed, but I have better ways of finding out if it becomes important. I don't think it would be weird at all.
Arch mage144: You are unfortunately wrong. Much like Fal and her failure to understand why I don't like people reading my mind.
Arch mage144: Let's ask Zea if she thinks it'd be weird, hmm?
Lithaladhwen: My daughter.... is too serious and too uptight. And furthermore, I am her mother and I don't answer to her.
Arch mage144: Uh...right then.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Hm. Curious type. I bet he's uncertain about new positions and things, but once he finds what he likes, he's a fast learner.
Arch mage144: Speaking of which, what are you doing here?
Lithaladhwen: IM: I should ask.
Lithaladhwen: Me? What do you think?
Arch mage144: Reading?
Lithaladhwen: *The librarian walks out of the geneology section, straightening his tie.*
Lithaladhwen: No.
Arch mage144: ...the librarian?
Lithaladhwen: I thought he was cute.
Idran1701: (It's a good thing for him J.G. doesn't still work there. :O)
Lithaladhwen: (She'd give him a go.)
Idran1701: (The librarian, I mean.)
Idran1701: (...Actually, he might. He'd only be early 50s. Hmm...)
Lithaladhwen: (You can say that's him or someone he works with. It really makes no difference to me. =P )
Arch mage144: (Hell, she's older than that)
Arch mage144: I see.
Idran1701: (No, I was making the joke that J.G. is an angry sort and doesn't much care for people interfering with the normal way of things there.)
Idran1701: (Thus hinting that he may or may not get fired at the least for this. :D)
Lithaladhwen: Anyway. If we're done deciding that I don't live my life according to my child's whims..... I was merely suggesting that there are better ways for me to... learn about you... than guessing.
Arch mage144: (J. G. Wentworth? He'll get you the money you deserve! From the government!)
Arch mage144: ......
Arch mage144: IM: She wants to sleep with me. Oh, man!
Lithaladhwen: (Idran: But that's what the history section is FOR!)
Arch mage144: IM: Should I? Can I? Would Zea be mad?
Arch mage144: IM: I dunno. We're not really dating or anything, I just live in her house and sleep in her bed because she decided it was weird that I slept on her couch.
Lithaladhwen: *Zea comes back around with a couple of journals under one arm.*
Lithaladhwen: ...Mom?
Lithaladhwen: Hey, Zea.
Lithaladhwen: Just chitchatting with your boyfriend.
Lithaladhwen: ...Is that so.
Lithaladhwen: About what.
T3chn0Namagomi: He apparently is inquiring as to whether or not it would be okay with you for him to sleep with this person claiming to be your mother.
Arch mage144: I'm your boyfr....
Arch mage144: ......
Arch mage144: ............
Lithaladhwen: ....
Lithaladhwen: Fal, thank you.
Lithaladhwen: Mother, no.
Lithaladhwen: James, no.
Arch mage144: It's not that I was going to!
Lithaladhwen: I think it's sweet that you considered it.
Arch mage144: I really didn't!
Lithaladhwen: But I know that you two have more delicate sensibilities than I do.
Arch mage144: IM: Fal, I'm going to kill you.
Lithaladhwen: Mom, I don't share men with you.
Lithaladhwen: I just don't. That's my rule.
Lithaladhwen: So either you don't sleep with him.....
Lithaladhwen: Or you keep him.
Arch mage144: Yeah, I figured it'd be weird, hence why I never considered it.
Lithaladhwen: *smirks*
T3chn0Namagomi: Additionally, your mother thinks he is a curious type uncertain about new positions and things.
Arch mage144: IM: Rather sleep with Zea anyway. No offense, "mom."
Lithaladhwen: Picks things up quickly, though.
Lithaladhwen: I knew it!
Arch mage144: ......
Arch mage144: *for the first time ever, perhaps, James blushes a little*
Lithaladhwen: Oh, look! Oh, that's so cute.
Lithaladhwen: o_o
Lithaladhwen: Uh.... *ahem*
Arch mage144: .....did you find what you needed?
Arch mage144: *stage whisper to Zea* Can we go home now?
Lithaladhwen: I... I... yes.
Lithaladhwen: Uh.... mom... nice to... see you.
T3chn0Namagomi: Is he suffering from a sudden onset of an illness?
Lithaladhwen: IM: I need to find a new library. She's glowing. She just had sex somewhere in here.
Arch mage144: Yeah, I am sick. I have to go to the healer right away!
Lithaladhwen: *smirk* Well, I'll see you kids later.
Lithaladhwen: Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
Lithaladhwen: .....
Arch mage144: IM: I doubt we will.
Lithaladhwen: I don't know how to answer that, but ....okay.
Arch mage144: IM: Short list.
Lithaladhwen: *hurries out, leaving her mother behind, chuckling in their wake*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Kids.
Lithaladhwen: </Quinn>
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks off calmly*
Arch mage144: ........
Arch mage144: *follows Zea*
Lithaladhwen: Did she proposition you, James?
Lithaladhwen: She did, didn't she?
Arch mage144: She did, sure, but I said no.
Arch mage144: I can't sleep with your mother, that's just weird.
Lithaladhwen: *nods to herself*
Lithaladhwen: I'm not sure whether she'd have actually gone through with it. That ought to be enough to freak you out.
Lithaladhwen: She might have.
Arch mage144: I'm, I dunno, your best friend or something.
Arch mage144: Sleeping with your mom would be screwed up.
Lithaladhwen: *glances over her shoulder at him*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Yeah. Or something.
Lithaladhwen: It would be, yeah. Thanks for... saying no, I guess.
Arch mage144: ...why thank me?
Arch mage144: Did you really think I would?
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs* You would be surprised at how likely it seemed.
Lithaladhwen: Lot of my... guy friends... had one eye on my mom.
Arch mage144: Hah, no way. You wouldn't like it, right?
Arch mage144: Your opinion matters more than hers, I know you better.
Lithaladhwen: I.... I see. *HOLY FUCKING CHRIST DID ZEA JUST BLUSH*
Lithaladhwen: Well, that's good.
T3chn0Namagomi: Do you also happen to be ill?
Lithaladhwen: Nothing to worry about. I'm cool.
Lithaladhwen: Here, Fal. I thought you might like this one. It's on demon physiology.
Arch mage144: *notes the blushing and then promptly decides it means nothing*
T3chn0Namagomi: *blinks*
Lithaladhwen: *hands over a journal* You have to return this in a week or they'll fine me. I was going to use it to stitch some things, but it seemed like something you'd like.
T3chn0Namagomi: *takes it, blinks, and nods*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Question nothing James says or does. It does not make sense. He's a guy. They're just... they're guys. Don't question it.
T3chn0Namagomi: *opens it and starts reading immediately while...walking...off...*
Lithaladhwen: *shakes off the confusion*
Lithaladhwen: See you later, Fal!
T3chn0Namagomi: The elapsed time will be in excess of that of one week's worth of days.
Lithaladhwen: That's okay.
Lithaladhwen: Enjoy the journal.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Oops. Worded it wrong)
T3chn0Namagomi: I meant, will not be in excess.
Arch mage144: IM: What the hell, man, that girl is psycho.
Arch mage144: ...yeah, sure.
Arch mage144: No fines for Zea, then.
Lithaladhwen: (Your girl plays with dead things in her basement and may not actually be your girl. Don't criticize the weird and awkward of Doma.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
Arch mage144: (>.>_
Arch mage144: (It's James. It happens. His perceptions of the world are kind of off.)
Arch mage144: ...so...
Lithaladhwen: ...*pauses* What
Lithaladhwen: *?
Arch mage144: ...nothing, I suppose.
Lithaladhwen: .....
Arch mage144: I think between Fal and your mother and all the crap that happened earlier about surfacio and humans and library books we've been on the wrong foot for most of the day, that's all.
Arch mage144: I know I said I was sorry, but I can never tell if you believe me.
Lithaladhwen: ....Oh, that
Arch mage144: Yeah, that.
Arch mage144: Isn't it important to you at all? I should think so. We're talking about your opinions here.
Lithaladhwen: Well, it is. I've spent long enough being told I needed to go up to the surface where people like me belong that I kind of got the point. I'm human.
Lithaladhwen: So uh.... I don't know. You apologize for the "I hate humans" thing every time, but you keep doing it.
Lithaladhwen: So... maybe just... don't. I don't know.
Arch mage144: Eh. Maybe I don't hate them all. Honestly I don't have strong feelings about "humans."
Arch mage144: I just think sometimes I'd have had better magical potential if I'd been all demon, you know? It's just an advantage they have.
Arch mage144: *shrugs* I shouldn't talk about it so much.
Lithaladhwen: I'd appreciate it. I don't know how keen I would be on sharing my bed with somebody who thought so little of my kind.
Arch mage144: Humans are fine. I've known a lot of great humans. Sure you're sick of Gunnir stories by now, but a lot of my best friends from the academy were human.
Arch mage144: ...even my father isn't that bad, as far as humans go. I guess we can discuss it later. I'd hate to...
Arch mage144: ...*looks like he's having trouble with this part*
Arch mage144: ...hurt your feelings with it.
Lithaladhwen: *blinks*
KnightsofSquare: (Some say the Grinch's heart grew THREE sizes that day)
Lithaladhwen: ...*blinks again*... Yeah. It's okay.
T3chn0Namagomi: (James' grew four. Take that, Grinch)
Lithaladhwen: Don't... *seems a little mystified* ....don't worry about it.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Did he just say that? Does he think about that?
Idran1701: (Am I allowed to say 'aw' here?)
Arch mage144: Yeah, well. You know I'm going to, whether I'm supposed to or not.
Lithaladhwen: (Idran: Yes.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (NYO!)
Idran1701: (Aw. :D)
Arch mage144: It's hard to live with someone for months and not think about their own personal opinions about the world, you know?
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. Yeah, I know what you mean. I.... appreciate it.
Lithaladhwen: So don't worry about it. It's fine.
Lithaladhwen: *shifts her books in one arm and continues walking*
Arch mage144: *shrugs* Just trying not to be a jackass.
Lithaladhwen: It doesn't go unnoticed, and it's certainly appreciated.
Lithaladhwen: Being a jackass is bad.
Lithaladhwen: IM: It's weird when he's like this. It's really rare and really weird.
Lithaladhwen: IM: He did this after the cult thing, too.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Not.... not bad, though. Just weird.
Lithaladhwen: *headscratch*
Arch mage144: IM: Maybe I'm saying the right things or whatever. I have no idea. This is not what I'm good at.
Arch mage144: IM: Just don't want her to think poorly of me, that's all. She's brilliant. I'd hate to lose her respect because I made some off-hand remarks about humans.
Arch mage144: IM: Not that bad, really, the lot of them. Just disadvantaged. They can't help it. She does very well for herself despite her disability, you know?
KnightsofSquare: (Humans are disabled)
KnightsofSquare: (Except for the bonus feat)
Lithaladhwen: (And the skill point at each level.)
KnightsofSquare: (They aren't particularly fluffy, though.)
KnightsofSquare: (Poor humans.)
Lithaladhwen: (You are.)
KnightsofSquare: (I have a gift.)
Lithaladhwen: (Koss is a witch!)
Arch mage144: (You forgot the 4 skill points at first level)
Arch mage144: (Compared to elves, however, still underpowered)
Arch mage144: (And WAY underpowered compared to elan)
T3chn0Namagomi: (It's still the Anti-Div, though)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Human fighter.)
Lithaladhwen: So, um. Aside from all that.
Lithaladhwen: Let's go home. I'm hungry and that's where the food is.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Kai now thinks Fal deserves some sort of total fucking award, by the way. XP)
Lithaladhwen: (Yup. Fal is the deadpan comic relief second gen has been needing.)
Arch mage144: What're you wanting for dinner? I'll cook.
KnightsofSquare: (the line where Fal explained the conversation was solid gold)
Lithaladhwen: (That was fucking awesome.)
Lithaladhwen: I... I don't know. We'll think of something when we get home. I think I want a chicken. A whole one.
KnightsofSquare: (With the feathers on. Still clucking)\
Arch mage144: ...the whole thing? To yourself?
Lithaladhwen: Well, no. I can share it.
KnightsofSquare: (I will love it and keep it and call it George)
Lithaladhwen: Another way.... here. I think we should have a chicken.
Arch mage144: Do we even have a chicken at your place, or do I have to go buy one?
Lithaladhwen: We don't have one. I have spices and things, but we'll have to get one. Shouldn't be a big deal. They're cheaper if you buy them still alive, but I don't feel like dealing with feathers.
Arch mage144: Alright. I can handle the feathers, trust me.
Arch mage144: Let's save a few gil.
KnightsofSquare: (Reanimate one!)
Lithaladhwen: ....What are you going.... okay, nevermind. We'll get a live chicken and you can do all the butcher work if you want.
Arch mage144: Spell I picked up at Gunnir. Trust me.
Lithaladhwen: (Koss: Shadow magic makes meat taste bad. =/ )
Lithaladhwen: ...........
Lithaladhwen: Wow. I do not want to know.
Arch mage144: Hawthorne's Perfect Defeathering.
Lithaladhwen: o_o
Lithaladhwen: -_-
Lithaladhwen: o_o
Lithaladhwen: Okay, whatever.
Arch mage144: Okay, it's not actually called that.
Arch mage144: But it removes the skin from whatever it targets.
Arch mage144: Feathers should come off too, right?
Lithaladhwen: Well, I guess it'll be an experiment. Theoretically you should be able to remove the feathers without the skin, since it would operate on the same basic principle.
Lithaladhwen: Right?
Arch mage144: That's true, but I'm not going to eat the skin, are you?
Idran1701: (Ow.)
Lithaladhwen: (James: Zea, talk nerdy to me.)
Arch mage144: Then again, I can try to modify the skin effect.
Arch mage144: Er. Spell effect. Haha!
Arch mage144: I didn't mean to say that.
Lithaladhwen: *snorts*
Lithaladhwen: We'll keep the skin. Keeps it from drying out and getting awful.
Arch mage144: I can try. I bet I can do it.
Lithaladhwen: Cool. That'll be interesting. Does the spell work on the material you're removing, or is it based on proximity from the surface of the animal involved?
Arch mage144: It technically only works on dead things.
Arch mage144: I know enough about the theory behind it and its selectivity that I ought to be able to hack something up, though. Did I study magical theory at a nationally accredited academy or didn't I?
Lithaladhwen: Hm. You have a good point. I may have to learn that one. I do enough skinning and splicing that it might simplify a lot of things.
Arch mage144: I'll show you how, assuming it works.
Arch mage144: It's just like a lot of other astral magic combined with a malediction flair. You just have to understand the basic principles behind designation of fields.
Lithaladhwen: I see. *looks down at one palm* I'm surprised I can cast anything but shadow magic at all the way I am... but we'll see if I can't figure out a way around it for something that useful.
Arch mage144: *shrugs* Your aura is unusual, but it's not been a handicap for you as far as I can tell. You have talent. Seriously.
Lithaladhwen: In one area. Plant magic was a bitch to learn, and it gets harder to learn new things as my aura changes. Eventually I... am going to have to unbind it.
Lithaladhwen: That may help.
Arch mage144: I don't know if I can do that.
Arch mage144: ....someone else might be able to, but...
Arch mage144: ...the consequences might be too great for you to handle
Arch mage144: Have you considered that?
Lithaladhwen: Sure. That's why I haven't done it already. I'm pretty sure that if I really had to unbind it right this second that John and I could pull something off, particularly with your help.
Lithaladhwen: I just... haven't thought of a way to replace the... more useful and practical aspects of the binding.
Arch mage144: ...yeah.
Arch mage144: Maybe when you get stronger, you'll be able to control it better.
Arch mage144: Maybe Reshtaha can help?
Lithaladhwen: I... I can't ask for that. If there's a solution, I'll find it. That's my job.
Arch mage144: Hmm. *nod*
Lithaladhwen: Don't worry. I'm not going to do anything dazzlingly stupid. I know what happens when my aura's fucked up.
Lithaladhwen: I don't like it any more than you do./
Arch mage144: Yeah, I trust you not to.
Arch mage144: Those bastards in that cult already tried this shit.
Arch mage144: I won't let you do it to yourself. Nor do I think you would.
Lithaladhwen: *sigh* It's fine. That's not going to happen. Last time was different. It was... I don't know. There were too many of them.
Arch mage144: ...them?
Lithaladhwen: If I were in control of it, I'd have more ability to, I don't know. Stop before things went to shit.
Lithaladhwen: Them. The mages who disjoined my house and broke open my aura.
Arch mage144: *nods*
Arch mage144: Yeah.
Arch mage144: Them.
Arch mage144: *sinister tone*
Lithaladhwen: What they did was not ritually incorrect, and it certainly worked. It was just a little irresponsible.
Lithaladhwen: I'd be more careful than that.
Arch mage144: Thanks for reassuring me.
Lithaladhwen: And I certainly wouldn't be making the, uh... long-term plans they were. There would be no second ritual.
Lithaladhwen: Just the one. I think it would increase my magical flexibility, but it's hard to be sure.
Lithaladhwen: It might make me more limited in the schools I can use, also.
Arch mage144: *nods*
Arch mage144: I don't think you should risk anything that would compromise your current strengths.
Lithaladhwen: Well, let me put it this way. My aura was bound to limit my connection to the shadow plane. Which means that, theoretically....
Lithaladhwen: My strengths are already compromised.
Arch mage144: Yeah, but...
Arch mage144: ...to overdo it would be even more compromising, you know?
Lithaladhwen: Well, if I overdo it I either go insane or die.
Lithaladhwen: So I just won't, that's all.
Arch mage144: Yeah, I'd appreciate neither of those.
T3chn0Namagomi has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, well. With luck you won't have to save my ass this time. I avoid those kinds of circumstances when I can, even if it did end okay last time.
Arch mage144: Thanks.
Arch mage144: I didn't like having to go to so much effort. *smirk*
Lithaladhwen: *laugh* Well, I'm so sorry. I'll be sure to scold John for disturbing your busy routine.
Arch mage144: Please do.
Arch mage144: I'd do it myself if I thought he'd pay any attention to me.
Lithaladhwen: Eh. He might. Well.... no. No, he wouldn't. But he does like you all right.
Lithaladhwen: As creepy as that is sometimes.
Arch mage144: ...I'd honestly rather not put much thought into ti.
Arch mage144: *it
Arch mage144: It is noteworthy that I never lose my keys, but I don't think he has shit to do with that.
Lithaladhwen: Hm? Oh, no.
Lithaladhwen: That would be Jezreel. The poltergeist who wanted me dead.
Arch mage144: I assumed.
Lithaladhwen: You've read his book. He thinks you're grand.
Arch mage144: He seemed pleased...yeah, that I read his book.
Arch mage144: Man, a lot of people have probably read that.
Arch mage144: But whatever. I appreciate it anyway, even though he messed with you.
Arch mage144: Anyway, let's go to get a chicken. It'll be an arcane experiment, if nothing else.
Lithaladhwen: Absolutely.
Lithaladhwen: </RP!>
Miss LSarithe: (They bought a chicken, made arcane experiments. They ate roast beef.)
Lithaladhwen: (Yes.)
Lithaladhwen: *ahem*
Arch mage144: I think they ate chicken.
Arch mage144: But I can roll to find out if James succeeded in his spell.
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Arch mage144: Hmm. Maybe not.
Lithaladhwen: What's his MATK roll?
Lithaladhwen: Add his.... applied magical theory instead of a school rank.
Lithaladhwen: Did you level him?
Arch mage144: +20.
Arch mage144: He gained more exp?
Lithaladhwen: From FtA.
Arch mage144: Wait.
Arch mage144: No, I may not have...
Arch mage144: Wait, yes I did
Arch mage144: He has Shadow rank 8.
Arch mage144: So he must've.
Lithaladhwen: Okay. Then it's +20.
Arch mage144: So that's a total 26.
Lithaladhwen: I think he can defeather a chicken.
Arch mage144: Its MDEF is probably pretty bad.
Idran1701: Especially dead.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. Dead chickens have that problem.
KnightsofSquare: My discussions about fluffy magic inspired Dia
Lithaladhwen: I know! That was awesome!
Lithaladhwen: The grain silo and everything!
KnightsofSquare: Yeah, but if you use fluffy magic to cause famine, that's not cool :-(
Lithaladhwen: Stacey likes people to...y'know. Not starve to death.
KnightsofSquare: Well, mostly it's just that it's mean to make people starve to death
Lithaladhwen: *nod* It's true. That's pretty dastardly.
