You have just entered room "holycensorshipbatman."
E mouse2000: wut.
Lithaladhwen: Whoa. Hey.
Lithaladhwen
: I didn't know you RP'd.
CGNakibe
: Sage: Maybe later. 9.9
Syra Zemyla: (Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the other side: "Hey, how do I get across?" Nasrudin replied, "You are across!")
Der DWSage
: He doesn't. At least, not often.
Lithaladhwen
: I have never seen it.
Lithaladhwen
: I've been here for two years.
Der DWSage
: I've GMed with Mus involved.
CGNakibe
: LIES.
CGNakibe: TRICKERY.
E mouse2000: D:
E mouse2000: It's true, though I'm not sure I'll have the chance to really participate in a long-running RP.
E mouse2000: College is just starting up here and I'm gonna be swamped in a few weeks.
Der DWSage: With Othersage missing?
Der DWSage
: Definitely not, I'm afraid.
A Rockin SN
has entered the room.
Syra Zemyla: (So, who do people want me to play?)
Lithaladhwen
: Someone interesting.
E mouse2000
: (A BUTTCAKE.)
Der DWSage: Someone with backstory
T3chn0Namagomi
: Someone with a personality.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, those.
Der DWSage
: So, who to play, who to play...
Lithaladhwen
: Gen?
Syra Zemyla
: MAC?
Der DWSage
: If we do MAC...I'm going to try out Kumo.
Lithaladhwen
: MAC?
Lithaladhwen
: Kumo is...not alive 2000 years fromnow.
Syra Zemyla
: Cryogenics.
Der DWSage
: Yeah, but I do this crazy 'different characters, same names' thing.
Der DWSage
: With the characters being kinda-sorta similar.
T3chn0Namagomi
: If we do MAC, I'm using Zeiren.
Lithaladhwen: .....
A Rockin SN
: (Namely
A Rockin SN: He can't be arsed to think of a new name
Der DWSage: Something like that. :{
Der DWSage
: I have enough new characters. Why would I make yet another?
Syra Zemyla
: I make new characters all the time.
Syra Zemyla
: But I only have three MAC characters. One is completely new, one is a descendant of a 1st-gen character, and one *is* a 1st-gen character.
Der DWSage
: Yeah, but I don't want to be like RED.
Lithaladhwen
: Sage: BTW, no revealing things I told you.
Der DWSage
: With a character list so long that you can use it to build a house.
E mouse2000
: What, Sage can't flash the rest of us?
E mouse2000: :-(
Lithaladhwen: *laugh*
Lithaladhwen
: I have ten characters, roundabout.
Der DWSage
: *Flashes Mus*
Lithaladhwen
: Never thought I'd have that many.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Sage: You're thinking Div, not RED.
CGNakibe: *Shockwaves!*
Der DWSage: Div, yeah.
Syra Zemyla
: I have only about 28 1st-gen characters, I think.
E mouse2000
: I had... two seperate character concepts that got canned.
A Rockin SN: And not a single human!
E mouse2000: One for being a ripoff and illogical, the other for being too silly.
CGNakibe: What's this? Div's animal-clones? >:P
Der DWSage: >_>
Der DWSage
: Mus should play Chitaka.
E mouse2000
: ... maybe. How the hell would she get there, though?
Syra Zemyla: Alternate universe.
Syra Zemyla
: It's not exactly the same Chitaka, but similar enough.
Der DWSage
: Indeed!
Lithaladhwen
: Zem: 28 distinct characters?
Der DWSage
: Though that would make me wonder, play Sorune or play Kumo...
Lithaladhwen
: How the hell do you develop THAT MANY characters?
Syra Zemyla
: Dreams, partly.
Syra Zemyla
: Other than that, they just express themselves through me.
T3chn0Namagomi
: ...
Lithaladhwen: From what I've seen, half of them are the most powerful whatever in the lands and...that's about it.
Lithaladhwen
: I think we need to board RP sometime. Maybe it just doesn't come across in chat.
CGNakibe
: Beware of Dave.
CGNakibe: And the Bus of OOC.
Syra Zemyla: Hmm? When did I ever have a "most powerful in all the lands" character?
Der DWSage
: Dream-God?
Syra Zemyla
: No, my dream mage is nowhere near a god.
Lithaladhwen
: All of your D&D twinkfests come to mind.
Der DWSage
: He's powerful enough that kings come to him and pay for his services.
Arch mage144
has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: Your D&D twinkfests, and your bragging about your MAC mecha kinda counted as well, Zem.
Der DWSage: >_>
Der DWSage
: Speaking of that, has my Uber-Moogle inspired you to new heights of twinkery?
Syra Zemyla
: Hmm? I'm not sure if D&D sheets count as canon.
Syra Zemyla
: And no, it hasn't yet.
Syra Zemyla
: Besides, my MAC twinkery is public domain.
Syra Zemyla
: The cheap but not all that bad suit I designed is a fairly low-end civilian suit. That just happens to have 44 Str.
T3chn0Namagomi
: I don't count that
T3chn0Namagomi: I count your "OMFG STEALTH AND FAST FUELLESS FLIGHT AND BIG GUN AND SPEED AND CUPHOLDERS" deal
Syra Zemyla: That's part and parcel of it being in GURPS.
CGNakibe
: Hey.
CGNakibe: Hey hey.
Lithaladhwen: ....
CGNakibe
: WHERE HAS ALL THE RP GONE?!?
Lithaladhwen: GURPS=/=Twinkfest.
Arch mage144
: What the hell are you even talking about?
Lithaladhwen
: Also, Shaun is right.
Der DWSage
: Good question!
Lithaladhwen
: Zem refuses to admit he twinks things to bejesus and back.
Arch mage144
: Also, yeah, pretty much what Ashley said about GURPS. Thirdly, I was under the impression that this was an RP room.
Der DWSage
: RIGHT. BASTARDS. FRONT AND CENTER.
Der DWSage
: NON-BASTARDS, YOU TOO.
CGNakibe
: You should ALL BE ASHAMED.
Der DWSage: EVEN THOUGH MOST OF YOU ARE BASTARDS ANYWAY.
CGNakibe
: There is more RP in the MAIN CHAT now than here.
E mouse2000: What about people whose paternity is in question?
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, that's weird.
Der DWSage
: STREETS. DOMA. ANY OBJECTIONS?
CGNakibe
: Second gen or first?
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 1 2-sided die: 2

Der DWSage: FIRST. BECAUSE I SAYS SO.
Syra Zemyla
: Also, yes, I sometimes am a twink. Frigging math classes getting me to optimize things...
CGNakibe
: First!
OnlineHost: Syra Zemyla rolled 1 666-sided die: 20
Syra Zemyla: ...Holy!
OnlineHost
: T3chn0Namagomi rolled 1 666-sided die: 597
A Rockin SN: Secondeenth!
A Rockin SN: Hmmm.
A Rockin SN: Who to play, who to play.
OnlineHost: Der DWSage rolled 1 666-sided die: 141
Der DWSage: :{
Arch mage144
: First gen is more than acceptable.
Der DWSage
: ANYWAY.
CGNakibe
: (And now... The Streets of der Domaness!)
Der DWSage: THE TIME OF CHOOSING CHARACTERS IS NOW.
E mouse2000
: (Chitaka, if I must.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Is this before Sage's RP?
Der DWSage: (...Let's say it is.)
Der DWSage
: (*Ponders* Sorune is a good possibility.)
CGNakibe
: (... I am sooo tempted to do something I probably shouldn't.)
Der DWSage: <Crazed Druid you all know and love! Except Mus, because he's a prig. :{*
Syra Zemyla
: (Since I am holy...)
T3chn0Namagomi
: (Hmm...Kamos or Adrienne?)
OnlineHost: Syra Zemyla rolled 1 69-sided die: 29
Syra Zemyla: (Hmm. Still that does not sway me.)
A Rockin SN
: (Bleh. Any suggestions?)
Der DWSage: *Walking down the street is a certain Druid! He is happily lugging a small bag of stuff, singing the Y'tuin equivalent of 'Hi ho!'*
A Rockin SN
: (Kel: Thief! *punches Sorune in the face*)
Syra Zemyla: (In fact, it does not daunt me.)
Syra Zemyla: <Kimmie Dauntless!>
Lithaladhwen: (Zem, I can't read that.)
Syra Zemyla
: (I had realized that when I typed it.)
Syra Zemyla: (Can you read me now?)
Lithaladhwen: (I can't read that.)
Syra Zemyla
: (Blast your eyes! :{ )
Syra Zemyla
: (How's this?)
Lithaladhwen
: (Better.)
Syra Zemyla
: (Because there are only so many colors. ;_;-)
Lithaladhwen: (You're right.)
Lithaladhwen
: (So few.)
Der DWSage
: *HI HO, you non-RPing bastards!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: (And there's only one background color!)
Lithaladhwen: (I'm such a little bag of ornery right now. I think I may have to play Shakti.)
Syra Zemyla
: (But, Kai, I hope you remember Kimmie, right?)
T3chn0Namagomi
: (Hmm...I feel like Adrienne.)
Lithaladhwen: (Where have I met her?)
A Rockin SN
: (If that were so you'd be playing Shakti all year round...)
A Rockin SN: (Now, I feel Knightly)
Lithaladhwen: (Kimmie, I mean. All I know is her last name is a British ship in PotC.)
Syra Zemyla
: (You haven't, but I discussed her with you.)
Lithaladhwen
: <Shakti>
Lithaladhwen: (Then I'm not surprised I don't remember.)
Syra Zemyla
: (Hmm. Where are your RP logs?)
Syra Zemyla
: (Actually, this would work best at her workplace. It's the one with the symbols of Kazeros and Ashura.)
Lithaladhwen
: *A purple-haired woman in...this time PURPLE silk is walking in the opposite direction on the street...toward Sorune, carrying a backpack of sorts.*
Lithaladhwen
: (Shakti works at Jeri's house. This place is not available for fic reasons.)
Lithaladhwen
: (Also, my logs are in my AIM profile.)
Der DWSage
: <_< Hallo Shakti.
Syra Zemyla
: (Hmm. Then Kimmie may not be available right now. Besides, I am now afflicted with a block as to what to do with her.)
Lithaladhwen
: *looks up* Sorune.
Lithaladhwen
: Haven't seen you in a while. What's up?
Der DWSage
: Oh, just found a good deal on some bottles. I've been making a bit too much medicine recently.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Meanwhile, coming from the same direction appears to be a girl in her late teens, with short-cut blonde hair and brown eyes, wearing a tank top and loose pants*
Lithaladhwen: What kind of medicine?
Der DWSage
: Headaches, foot fungus, common colds, that sort of thing. Also a few poultices to help with, er, blemishes. Like boils.
Lithaladhwen
: Oh. Eh. Never mind.
Lithaladhwen
: I'm actually out picking up supplies. We used ours up back at the house.
Der DWSage
: ...Though I can make other medicines. >_> But that's for another time
Lithaladhwen
: Don't worry about it. It's quicker if I just buy them.
Lithaladhwen
: I've been...away from there a while,and they need me to run some errands.
Der DWSage
: *Nod* Fair enough.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Errands? *butting in verbally*
Der DWSage: <_<
Lithaladhwen
: Who the fuck are you?
Lithaladhwen
: Do I know you?
T3chn0Namagomi
: Not sure. *smirking*
Lithaladhwen: Well, I am. What do you want?
Der DWSage
: IM:Edgy today, are we?
T3chn0Namagomi
: Calm down, it's just curiosity.
Arch mage144: *from down the street* Hey, Shakti!
Lithaladhwen: Good. As long as we agree it's irrelevant.
CGNakibe
: (Feh. Quincy is 2nd Gen, I think...)
Lithaladhwen: ....Silvar?
Der DWSage
: >_>
Arch mage144
: *waving*
Lithaladhwen: (Funny. We're watching BLEACH right now and you mention Quincy. It's one of Ishida's episodes, too.)
Syra Zemyla
has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: *lifts a hand slowly in greeting*
Arch mage144
: *approaches*
CGNakibe: (Hmm. Timing.)
Arch mage144: How's it going?
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o Hakaril? *turns quickly*
Lithaladhwen: Fine. Just doing some things while I'm out.
Syra Zemyla
has entered the room.
Syra Zemyla: (AIM hates me.)
Der DWSage
has left the room.
Arch mage144: Some things?
Der DWSage has left the room.
E mouse2000: (An Internet Meme hates Zemyla? It all makes sense now!)
Arch mage144: Are you ever more specific than that?
Lithaladhwen: (Whoa. Sage.)
Lithaladhwen
: ...If I'm certain there's a reason to be.
Lithaladhwen
: If you're interested, I'm picking up medical supplies for Jeri.
Lithaladhwen
: They used up what they had after the breakin.
Lithaladhwen
: *break-in
Arch mage144
: Ah, yes. *nods*
Arch mage144: That...could have gone much worse.
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. Everyone could have died.
Lithaladhwen
: (Wait for Sage?)
Arch mage144
: (Yeah)
Lithaladhwen: (I'll recap him.)
Syra Zemyla
: (Gives me a chance to actually choose a character.)
Syra Zemyla
: (Such as a certain moogle mage.)
Syra Zemyla
: (Yes, this should work.)
Lithaladhwen
: (Sage says he needs a few moments.)
Syra Zemyla
has left the room.
CGNakibe: (Hn)
Lithaladhwen: (He says it won't let him in.)
E mouse2000
: (Try resetting or something?)
Lithaladhwen: (He's going to reboot. o_o )
E mouse2000
: (... my head.)
Lithaladhwen: (Also, his mother wants to take the computer for ten minutes. He says we should move on.)
Lithaladhwen
: (Verdict?)
Arch mage144
: (As you will.)
E mouse2000 has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: -V- IM: Am I REALLY that unnoticeable? I mean...yeesh!
Der DWSage has entered the room.
Der DWSage: (As I said, mum took ten minutes.)
Der DWSage
: (Sorry about that folks.)
Lithaladhwen
: (Hullo!)
Lithaladhwen
: (Recap is sent.)
Der DWSage
: Wait, break-in?
Lithaladhwen
: Yeah. At the place.
Arch mage144
: (Good times.)
Der DWSage: *Was mentally going over a shopping list, and was thus distracted. :{*
Arch mage144
: Yeah. It was rather messy.
Lithaladhwen: There was this shit with all these guys.
Arch mage144
: Luckily, we cleaned it up. *grin*
Der DWSage: Nobody seriously hurt, I hope.
Lithaladhwen
: Ask him. *points at Hakaril* He's full of words.
Arch mage144
: Nobody important.
Arch mage144: And nobody who didn't deserve it.
Der DWSage: >_>
Lithaladhwen
: Not permanently, at least.
Arch mage144
: Well, I think death is permanent. I definitely killed a few people.
Der DWSage: ...
Syra Zemyla
has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: A few people who don't suck were.... kind of injured. A lot.
Der DWSage
: *Sigh*
Lithaladhwen
: Well, they do. But they do it for a living and that's different.
Syra Zemyla
: (Hmm. Parental oppression sucks.)
Syra Zemyla
: (Location once again?)
T3chn0Namagomi
: o.o; *walks off, relatively confused and frustrated*
Der DWSage: ...Right.
Der DWSage
: So, uh, if I'm listening to this correctly...
Der DWSage
: There was a break-in at a whorehouse, and General Hakaril helped fend them off?
Arch mage144
: You probably are. You're an elf. They have good ears.
Der DWSage: Only part-elf.
Arch mage144
: Well, more accurately, there was a break-in, Cardinal and I had to beat up some thugs, and then we had to go beat up some more thugs and rescue Shakti.
Lithaladhwen: >_>;
Arch mage144
: Then we had to beat up more thugs, but Shakti helped that time.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, well.
Der DWSage
: Got it. Right.
Lithaladhwen
: While it was my own damned fault, I wasn't looking FORWARD to the whole gangrape and potential murder thing.
Lithaladhwen
: So...yeah. There was violence.
Lithaladhwen
: I like violence.
Arch mage144
: One of them will spend the remainder of his relatively short life as a rat.
Lithaladhwen: When it'smine.
Arch mage144
: It's much more fitting for scum like that, don't you think?
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, that was actually really good.
Der DWSage
: Possibly.
CGNakibe
: (A few weeks later an infestation of hyper-intelligent rats burned down old Doma, beginning a new order founded in fear. And cheese)
Der DWSage: (And don't forget the disease!)
Lithaladhwen
: By the way, while Sorune is here.
Lithaladhwen
: Silvar.
Lithaladhwen
: Notes.
Der DWSage
: Notes?
Lithaladhwen
: For the thing. At the place, that had to do with that thing we did in that tooth-village.
Der DWSage
: Notes. *Nods*
Lithaladhwen
: Silvar told me he would let me edit them in prison.
Lithaladhwen
: But now that I'm not there I still don't have them. *scowl*
Arch mage144
: Yeah. Notes.
Arch mage144: Well.
Arch mage144: I'll get them to you, since you're a free woman now.
Arch mage144: I do have them, you know.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, I know. Just send them over when you get a chance. I wanted to harass you while you were here.
Lithaladhwen
: Also, I think I promised Sorune a copy.
Arch mage144
: Of course. I am a man of my word, and I promise.
Der DWSage: You know, it isn't that long a way to deliver things to my home. >_>
Der DWSage
: A little walking does everyone good.
Lithaladhwen
: ...Are you inviting us?
Der DWSage
: Sure, why not?
Lithaladhwen
: Erm. ...Okay.
Der DWSage
: It's not like you're going to find Sher dressed in my wife's evening dress.
Lithaladhwen
: ...
Der DWSage
: Well, unless the squirrels are tormenting him again.
Lithaladhwen
: You're one fucked-up man who keeps fucked-up company.
Arch mage144
: That would be whacked out.
T3chn0Namagomi: (He's married?)
Arch mage144: Yeah, like talking cats.
Der DWSage: Can I help it if the squirrels have a mean streak a mile wide?
Arch mage144
: (Yep.)
Der DWSage: (Aye, though his wife hasn't been RPed in a god's age. :{ )
Arch mage144
: Squirrels have mean streaks?
Lithaladhwen: (Who RP'd her?)
Der DWSage
: (I do. Which makes it that much more sad.)
Lithaladhwen
: ...What the hell. Squirrels.
Der DWSage
: Some do.
Lithaladhwen
: (Whoa. I assumed someone else RP'd her.)
Lithaladhwen
: (You should play her now.)
Der DWSage
: (It was years ago that I brought her in. And I've decided since then that I really don't like her that much. :{{{ )
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Yeah. Go home, meet the wife, whatever.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Meet the lion in wife's clothing. Apparently.
Lithaladhwen
: (I see! Is that why Sorune's single in second gen?)
Der DWSage
: (Mostly, aye.)
Arch mage144
: I suppose I should go back to the castle and get my notes first so that Shakti doesn't sneak into my room and disembowel me in my sleep with that kukri of hers.
Syra Zemyla: (Could I take over your wife character?)
Lithaladhwen
: Yay. Awesome.
Syra Zemyla
: (Also: "Dammit, Dan! I don't want to date a goddamn NPC!")
Der DWSage
: (I remember that. :{ )
Der DWSage
: It'd keep you on your toes, at least.
Der DWSage
: Kinda like that time when Sher had a lean week, and kept promising he'd sneak into my room and eat me.
Lithaladhwen
: I wouldn't disembowel you. Your bowels belong on the inside. You should try and keep them there.
Lithaladhwen
: Bad sign when they're on the outside. S'my opinion.
Arch mage144
: I am inclined to agree.
Lithaladhwen: Anyway. Um. Yeah. Obscure academic interests aside, how've you been, Sorune?
Lithaladhwen
: Aside from needing bottles.
Arch mage144
: You need bottles?
Arch mage144: Shouldn't those be easy to get/
Arch mage144: *?
Der DWSage: >_> I've probably got over a hundred bottles full of various medicines in my little home, Hakaril.
Der DWSage
: *Holds up the bag* I just came into town to fetch some more. And I got a good deal, too.
Der DWSage
: And anyway, I've been keeping well.
Der DWSage
: I'm thoroughly convinced that even if Doma's going to end, it's not going to be tomorrow.
Syra Zemyla
: (Doma: *explodes tomorrow*)
Der DWSage
: (Sorune:Well hell. Good thing I live on the outskirts.)
Lithaladhwen
: This is true.
T3chn0Namagomi
: (Kamos: *succeeds on his MBLK roll*)
Der DWSage: (*Unfortunately for Kamos, he is crushed under the huge pile of rubble that comes afterwards. Oh well.)
Arch mage144
: That's...optimistic.
Der DWSage: ...It has to do with a notebook I found. Nevermind.
Lithaladhwen
: Notebook?
Lithaladhwen
: What do you mean?
Der DWSage
: <_< It's a long story.
Lithaladhwen
: I like those.
Arch mage144
: You ought to explain yourself.
Der DWSage: The short version is that the notebook was written, from cover to cover, with only one word. Hajimeru.
Arch mage144
: ...repeatedly, or only once?
Der DWSage: A while back, a few friends of mine and myself found a place that was...well...take your worst nightmares, and multiply them by ten.
Der DWSage
: And repeatedly.
Arch mage144
: And...you'll have to translate that for me.
Lithaladhwen: Oh, I don't know. I have some pretty impressive nightmares.
Der DWSage
: >_> That same book was there. According to Enlil, it means 'Beginning.'
Der DWSage
: There was also a book that was a hit with horror fans for a while.
Der DWSage
: It was on how to serve human body parts as food dishes.
Der DWSage
: Guess what book I found in that place?
Lithaladhwen
: A book of needlepoint patterns?
Arch mage144
: I somehow doubt that.
Lithaladhwen: It was a fair guess.
Der DWSage
: Actually, yes. In human skin. >_>
Lithaladhwen
: Aha!
CGNakibe
: (Sher: *paws through* Oooh. Roast Sorune a'la Orange)
Der DWSage: But that hasn't appeared here in Doma yet.
Lithaladhwen
: Well, I'll keep an eye out for it.
Arch mage144
: I think we have a lot of human skin, actually. >.>
Der DWSage: (Shaun wins, unfortunately for Sor. :{ )
Der DWSage
: While they're still alive?
Arch mage144
: Needles? Through living skin? Preferably not.
Arch mage144: I'm no masochist.
Der DWSage: These people were.
Der DWSage
: Anyway.
CGNakibe
: (Gaera has a Pinhead?)
Arch mage144: Someone has to be.
Der DWSage: I'm pretty sure End didn't just plant this notebook for me to freak out, or else he would've made sure to include the 'haha' part at the end.
Arch mage144
: End? End Reshiki?
Der DWSage: *Nod!*
Der DWSage
: The same one who helped destroy Malachias, yes.
Arch mage144
: I remember him. It's been a while since I've seen that crazy moogle around.
Der DWSage: He's...kind of dead.
Lithaladhwen
: *listens* Well, that sucks.
Der DWSage
: Sacrificed himself against Malachias. >_>
Lithaladhwen
: Good way to die, though.
Lithaladhwen
: Better than most people get.
Arch mage144
: Oh...really? *lowers his head a little*
Arch mage144: A...a lot of people died in that conflict.
Arch mage144: *shakes his head* Myself included.
Arch mage144: I remember him from before the war. It would've been years ago.
Lithaladhwen: o_ô
Lithaladhwen
: You died?
Arch mage144
: He was a friend of Dia Rai's.
Arch mage144: Yeah. Assassinated by demon infiltrators posing as Doman soldiers.
Lithaladhwen: Shit. That's fucked up.
Arch mage144
: The "king" himself ordered my execution, and they hunted me to the edge of the forest.
Der DWSage: Huh.
Der DWSage
: Pity you didn't make it into the forest.
Arch mage144
: It was...more than a little frustrating.
Lithaladhwen: I take issue with all of these things. They're all crazy and wrong.
Arch mage144
: As I understand it, my body was buried in an unmarked grave, and I was to be forever known as a traitor who attempted the murder of the queen.
Lithaladhwen: ...
Der DWSage
: Huh.
Lithaladhwen
: What the shit.
Lithaladhwen
: So...um.
Lithaladhwen
: You're not dead now.
Arch mage144
: I got better.
Der DWSage: No offense Hakaril, but I think that Aya could take you. >_>
Arch mage144
: Hah, you wish.
Der DWSage: I've seen her in action.
Lithaladhwen
: Got better? That's vague. I think I'm a bad influence on you.
Der DWSage
: I've also seen you in action.
Arch mage144
: She and I have sparred before. She's good with a sword, and a talented sorceress, but I think if I were serious I could probably take her.
Arch mage144: It'd be a close match, though.
Arch mage144: And it'd be a hell of a lot of trouble if she went into her full dragon form on me.
Der DWSage: Yeah.
Arch mage144
: She's heavily resistant to a lot of my favorite tricks, but heavily vulnerable to a lot of other ones. It evens out.
Der DWSage: *Shrug* I think she's a bit craftier than you give her credit for.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *and a certain lovable blue-haired mercenary walks onto the scene...*
Arch mage144: I know exactly how crafty she is. I've fought with her.
Der DWSage: >_> Hello kamos.
Arch mage144
: Like I said, it'd be a tough fight.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hm? Fought with who?
Der DWSage: Aya.
Lithaladhwen
: Hey! D! Howya been?
Arch mage144
: I hope I never have to fight her. Her or her sister. *grins slightly* Both of them are tough customers. Being the Eternal Dragon Warrior lends itself to such.
T3chn0Namagomi: *sweatdrops* Must you call me that?
Der DWSage: ...D?
Lithaladhwen
: Yeah.
Arch mage144
: It's short for "Captain Destruction," I believe.
Der DWSage: Dare I ask why?
Der DWSage
: Ah.
Lithaladhwen
: Because he wanted to blow up the archaeological site under the Forbidden Plains.
Der DWSage
: I remember that, yeah.
T3chn0Namagomi
: I didn't want to blow it up. I wanted to blow whatever tried to get in my way up.
Lithaladhwen: Whatever you say, Cap'n.
Der DWSage
: >_> Which was mostly archeological site.
Arch mage144
: *laughing*
T3chn0Namagomi: Unfortunately, there was that fucking...tentacle...lobster...thing.
Der DWSage: That Taiar mostly took care of.
Der DWSage
: Dear goddess, I hope I never have to fight him myself. >_>;
Lithaladhwen
: He was cool.
Arch mage144
: That thing was weird.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hey. I amputated it for him.
Arch mage144: Taiar? Hah. I could take him.
Der DWSage: He took that thing apart, piece by piece.
Arch mage144
: And that's a more likely confrontation than Aya.
Der DWSage: And stabbed it in the eye, several times.
Arch mage144
: Though yes, that was remarkably impressive.
Arch mage144: The guy totally dismantled that thing. He had help, but man.
Arch mage144: That glaive of his is wicked.
Lithaladhwen: It was fun to watch. Pretty neat.
CGNakibe
: *meanwhile, a person wearing a mask and raggedy clothes walks up, apparently holding a black pack. Assuming there IS a person under those rags. Its hard to tell* My my.
T3chn0Namagomi: Taiar? Eh, he and I would likely never fight. How well I'd do against him would depend on whether certain tricks of mine work on Mazoku like they do demons.
CGNakibe: This conversation sounds... awful violent.
Lithaladhwen: Yes.
Lithaladhwen
: And you're wearing a mask.
Der DWSage
: Definitely.
Lithaladhwen
: Obvious shit aside.
Lithaladhwen
: You have anything violent to add?
Der DWSage
: >_> Burns? I make medicine for that...
CGNakibe
: Sadly no. I cannot say that myself. And burns? Hah. Hardly, my good fellow.
Der DWSage: (My cat is convinced that she is a slipper.)
Der DWSage
: (She is curled up on my foot and refuses to leave.)
CGNakibe
: Just wondering at the violent turn of mindset, is all. Violence isn't something on my agenda at the present.
Der DWSage: Well, not so much violence as it is recalling the past right now.
CGNakibe
: (Well, she's warm at least, I'd hope. That's at least one mark in her favor.)
T3chn0Namagomi: And theorizing about a few things.
CGNakibe: *nods* Most interesting.
Der DWSage: That too.
Der DWSage
: >_> On another note, I'd rather like to try and spar with you sometime General.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Heh. I haven't sparred with Hakaril, but I've seen him in action. And I've ever-so-briefly sparred with you.
CGNakibe: The general is a most capable customer, I'll have you know. Quite skilled. *masked man nods*
Der DWSage: I've seen him in action. And...I honestly don't recall that, Kamos. When was that?
Lithaladhwen
: IM: I'm not complimenting Silvar. He doesn't need more. Whether I agree or not is irrelevant.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Not sure if it could be called a sparring match--I sorta ended it when I mindblasted you.
Der DWSage: (I think that Nama is recalling Kali. :{ )
Arch mage144
: Spar with me? *smirk*
T3chn0Namagomi: (No, you had Sorune try as well)
Lithaladhwen: Hey. No mindblasting Sorune, whatever the fuck that is. It sounds bad.
T3chn0Namagomi
: (You sorta wanted to try and beat his ubergod MBLK)
Der DWSage: (Ah, right.)
Der DWSage
: (And then promptly fumbled. :{ )
T3chn0Namagomi
: (Kamos pulled out the 1/day amp ring.)
Arch mage144: *shrugs* I have nothing against fighting, as a rule, though it's not terribly common for me to do it if I'm not serious.
CGNakibe: A sensible way of doing things, I must say.
Arch mage144: I was involved in the duelling organization at Gunnir, however.
Der DWSage: >_> Ten paces? I've heard of that.
Der DWSage
: It sounds...interesting, if nothing else.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Ten paces?
Der DWSage: Yeah. Their duelling club, basically.
T3chn0Namagomi
: I see.
Der DWSage: They take ten paces from each other, and then let loose with everything they've learned.
Arch mage144
: Yeah, Ten Paces. You've heard of it?
Arch mage144: That's interesting, indeed.
T3chn0Namagomi: I haven't.
Arch mage144: Not so much everything. You're prohibited from actually killing your opponent.
Arch mage144: The area is equipped with a dampening field intended to soften the lethal effect of attack spells.
Der DWSage: Well, yes. But short of that.
CGNakibe
: So. I wonder what brought all of you out here this afternoon, hm?
Lithaladhwen: Shopping and things.
Arch mage144
: I was running an errand as well.
Lithaladhwen: Guys I know.
Der DWSage
: *Holds up his bag, which clinks!* Shopping for glass vessels.
Lithaladhwen
: Now you.
Der DWSage
: Pestering people for stories.
CGNakibe
: Ah, a few supplies for my superior to give to an underling, is all.
T3chn0Namagomi: (And, fuck. I need to stop watching Super Robot Wars vids. It's making me want to go gigacheeze on my mecha's loadout. Not to mention the visual effect for Blank Shell)
Lithaladhwen: When were you pestering people, Sorune?
Der DWSage
: >_> Well, not so much pestering as asking about something that sounded interesting.
Lithaladhwen
: As I recall you gave Silvar a chance to talk and he took it.
Lithaladhwen
: Ah.
Der DWSage
: Although that's true too.
Arch mage144
: You mean the duelling organization?
Der DWSage: No, I mean the break-in.
Lithaladhwen
: Oh.
Arch mage144
: Apparently today's topic of conversation is "bravado."
Arch mage144: Ah, yes, the break-in.
Lithaladhwen: Well, we didn't really tell you anything.
CGNakibe
: Hm..
Lithaladhwen: I could actually tell you things if you wanted.
Arch mage144
: We were talking about that, but then, there's not much else to tell you about.
Arch mage144: Shakti, on the other hand, may have other things to say.
Lithaladhwen: There were guys. They sucked. They did things. We did things. Stuff is okay now. Pretty much.
Lithaladhwen
: There's your summary.
Der DWSage
: Very succint.
Der DWSage
: succinct*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *snrrks*
Der DWSage: You should give Hakaril lessons.
Lithaladhwen
: Thank you.
Lithaladhwen
: Actual detail would take longer.
Arch mage144
: I don't need lessons in brevity.
Lithaladhwen: Quick! Silvar! List of titles, GO!
CGNakibe
: I'm sure that may be considered a matter of opinion, good General.
Arch mage144: ......
Lithaladhwen: S'what I thought.
Arch mage144
: All of my titles? Don't you know them already?
Der DWSage: All I really remember is improvisational lawyer.
Arch mage144
: That's not really the most important one, but it does tend to conclude the list.
T3chn0Namagomi: Wasn't dragonslayer in that list?
Lithaladhwen: Wyrmslayer, poet, slayer of Tiamat, demon hunter or something, improvisational lawyer, obviously archmage and general....
Lithaladhwen
: There were others.
Lithaladhwen
: I have it written down somewhere.
Arch mage144
: Wyrmslayer, yes. And correct, demon hunter.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right, I can come up with some fucking long list of titles as well, given enough free time.
T3chn0Namagomi: (GAH. Bad joke temptation)
Arch mage144: You forget astralist, scholar, planar cartographer, poet, thaumatologist, metallurgist...
Lithaladhwen: I don't have titles. I have two names and a rank. S'bout it.
Der DWSage
: *Begins counting on his fingers* Druid, befriender of lions, alien from the planet of Y'tuin, former Sage of Y'tuin, hermit, medicine man, and general nutter.
Arch mage144
: Wait, no.
Lithaladhwen: No, I got poet.
CGNakibe
: *chuckles* I believe the lady's point is quite well made.
Arch mage144: You mentioned poet, yes.
Lithaladhwen: Ha. Bastard. I didn't forget them all.
T3chn0Namagomi
: I don't even have a damn rank.
Der DWSage: ...I think I'll live with Sorune.
Arch mage144
: I'm actually most proud of my planar cartography.
Der DWSage: >_> And sure you do. Mercenary.
T3chn0Namagomi
: That's a profession, not a title.
Arch mage144: Everyone has a title. I just have a couple extras.
Der DWSage: It's close enough where I come from.
Lithaladhwen
: What would you call me where you come from?
Lithaladhwen
: Where the fuck DO you come from?
Arch mage144
: Job descriptions, I suppose, are titles.
Lithaladhwen: You knew what my name was.
Lithaladhwen
: That's still weird.
Der DWSage
: Another planet entirely.
Lithaladhwen
: Not mine, I recall.
Arch mage144
: Another planet? Like Sara?
Der DWSage: Y'tuin, actually.
Lithaladhwen
: Who's Sara?
Arch mage144
: I've never heard of it.
Der DWSage: Not surprising.
Der DWSage
: It's not even in this solar system.
Arch mage144
: Sara is a girl who ran off with my apprentice.
Lithaladhwen: Oh. Lovely.
Der DWSage
: I ended up here by sheer fluke, and by the will of a certain evil goddess. >_>
Lithaladhwen
: I remember looking Y'Tuin up, and we don't have anyone there.
Arch mage144
: Although I taught her a few things in the time I knew her, as well.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Kamos: Kamos Mazuo, Mercenary, "murderer", adept of the dark arts, sworn enemy of the Doman Guard, rifleman, dragon laye--GAH! I meant SLAYER. Yeah, slayer!)
Lithaladhwen: Where's she from? Anyplace I can check out?
Arch mage144
: Apparently something very strange happened to her, because she had some sort of strange malformation of the aura, not to mention skin discoloration that I couldn't explain.
Lithaladhwen: ...Uh huh.
Lithaladhwen
: What color was the little alien girl?
Der DWSage
: Wild guess. Blue?
Arch mage144
: Blue, yes.
Arch mage144: She bore a strange resemblance to Midoku in fact.
CGNakibe: Strange.
Der DWSage: Hm.
Lithaladhwen
: When your aura is fucked with, you often exhibit physical changes. Example: My brother and I have stupid hair.
Lithaladhwen
: His is blue, mine is purple.
CGNakibe
: Perhaps I should talk to my master about that...
T3chn0Namagomi: Hey! I have blue hair, damnit. e.e
Lithaladhwen: Used to be black.
CGNakibe
: I didn't know hair could show a lack of intelligence
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, well. No one asked you, D.
Der DWSage
: ...I'm suddenly glad that I have normal brown hair.
Arch mage144
: Hmm. I see.
Arch mage144: No one tempered with my aura.
Arch mage144: *mirks*
Arch mage144: *smirks
Lithaladhwen: So you do that yourself?
T3chn0Namagomi
: (How do you mirk?)
Der DWSage: (First, you smirk.)
Arch mage144
: (It require a great deal of typographical erroring.)
Der DWSage: (Then you do something that takes out the S in it, leaving only the mirk.)
T3chn0Namagomi
: (I see.)
Der DWSage: >_>
CGNakibe
: (Also: I just have to wonder... did Hak ever meet Seros? o.o;; )
Der DWSage: IM:Never mention this conversation. Ever.
Lithaladhwen
: I guess I could have done worse than end up with purple hair.
Lithaladhwen
: My mentor went blind.
Der DWSage
: IM:Otherwise, I'll end up going to bed and waking up with a rainbow for hair.
CGNakibe
: (Sorune the Treasure Troll!)
Lithaladhwen: Not that it mattered much.
Arch mage144
: A lot of mages recolor their hair, from what I've seen.
Arch mage144: It's kind of a fashion statement.
Syra Zemyla has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< I'm a natural blue.
Arch mage144: You're Valthi. You're screwed up. It happens.
Der DWSage: >_>
Der DWSage
: I refuse to speak.
Arch mage144
: You just did.
Der DWSage: No I didn't.
Der DWSage
: You just think I did.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Right, so Valthi are screwed up.
Lithaladhwen: He's Valthi, Sorune is from Y'Tuin, I'm from a god-forsaken hole in the cosmos, and Silvar's Silvar.
Lithaladhwen
: Fucked up is highly subjective here.
Der DWSage
: This is true.
Der DWSage
: And we have no clue who our masked friend here is.
Arch mage144
: Silvar is Silvar?
Der DWSage: Or where he comes from.
Arch mage144
: What does that mean?
Lithaladhwen: You're crazy, Silvar. It's okay, but you are. At least a little.
Lithaladhwen
: You have to be.
CGNakibe
: *chuckles*
Arch mage144: If you say so.
Der DWSage: >_>
Arch mage144
: I consider myself to be dangerously sane.
CGNakibe: Its times like this I really appreciate the flavor of Doma.
Der DWSage: I could beat Hakaril in a crazy-contest any day of the week.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: You would, you crazy bastard.
Lithaladhwen
: You would, you crazy bastard.
Lithaladhwen
: Also, Sorune, I apologize. I judge you sane.
Der DWSage
: Ha! Yeah right.
Lithaladhwen
: You there, while I'm passing judgement. *to the mask dude* You're a nut.
CGNakibe
: You all seem rather sane to me.
CGNakibe: Why thank you, madam. *bows* I do try.
Der DWSage: >_> I'm a tree hugger that refuses to have anything wooden in or around his home, unless it's still attached to the tree.
Lithaladhwen
: It shows.
Arch mage144
: ...yeah, that's a little weird, dude.
T3chn0Namagomi: You seem to be a bit...familiar. *looking at the masked guy*
CGNakibe: Do I? Interesting.
Lithaladhwen: I'm a heretic and an interdimensional anthropologist. Not so crazy I suppose.
Der DWSage
: <_< Oh, right.
Lithaladhwen
: I think growing up around Christians really fucked me up worse than anything.
CGNakibe
: A friend of mine once said.
Der DWSage: The reason you can't find Y'tuin?
CGNakibe
: If you live in Doma, you MUST be crazy.
Lithaladhwen: It's blocked, yeah?
Der DWSage
: The planet's shielded from other-worlders to hell and back, to avoid being exploited.
Lithaladhwen
: Yeah. We don't interfere with that shit.
Der DWSage
: It's got natural resources that makes Gaera look like a barren wasteland.
Arch mage144
: Christians? Who?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...dare I ask what "Christians" are?
Lithaladhwen: Crazy people.
T3chn0Namagomi
: (XD Kamos already doesn't care for Ashurans)
Der DWSage: I've heard of those before.
Arch mage144
: Is that a synonym, or some specific group of crazy people/
Lithaladhwen: My brother is the craziest of the crazy... a Catholic Christian.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Apparently a group...what kind of group, I don't know.
CGNakibe: Some sort of cult or another? They certainly sound interesting.
Lithaladhwen: *bares her teeth in anger* They're fucked up assholes who would rather burn their way through the rest of the world than understand it.
Arch mage144
: That sounds familiar. I've been to Riva.
Der DWSage: Ah.
T3chn0Namagomi
: I see...
Arch mage144: *chuckles* Old Riva, anyway.
Der DWSage: Yeah, let's keep those away from Y'tuin.
Lithaladhwen
: They torture you, burn you and everyone you know, and then they take your stuff.
Der DWSage
: I like the place, but it's an awfully flammable planet.
CGNakibe
: Ah, yes. You should most DEFINITELY stay away from the more... err... conservative parts of Riva, then.
T3chn0Namagomi: Let's keep those away from me. For their sake.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. You'd definitely fare better than I did.
Lithaladhwen
: They're cocks.
CGNakibe
: Hm. It suddenly occurs to me. How has the Queen been, General Silvar? Good, I hope.
T3chn0Namagomi: They sound like total cockbags. That's for sure.
Lithaladhwen: If it hadn't been specifically told not to do so, I'd go back and burn it all to the ground. All the churches and all the grand old residences.
Lithaladhwen
: All the clergy.
Lithaladhwen
: Everyone.
Lithaladhwen
: But! ^_^
Lithaladhwen
: Can't!
T3chn0Namagomi
: Ugh. Religious dicks. The worst fucking kind. >.<
Der DWSage: You say that with the tone of someone who has already found a loophole and sent several mercenaries to do the job instead.
Arch mage144
: Cock...bags?
Arch mage144: I'm a little behind on this conversation, but...
Der DWSage: ...And I'd take offense to that if I was still a religious asshole.
Arch mage144
: ...yeah.
Lithaladhwen: Sorune. I have a question.
Lithaladhwen
: How many innocent people have you tortured and burned alive?
Lithaladhwen
: Just a ballpark figure.
Der DWSage
: As far as I know?
Der DWSage
: *Looks up, begins counting on his fingers again*
Der DWSage
: Tortured three, but that was deliberate misinformation planted by Daethe, so that shouldn't count.
Lithaladhwen
: Uh huh.
Der DWSage
: Never was big on burning anyone though.
Lithaladhwen
: Well, you're probably still okay then.
Der DWSage
: And I was attempting to cover an entire world single-handedly.
Der DWSage
: Well, sort of.
Lithaladhwen
: ....
Lithaladhwen
: I'm not going to think about that, because I think if I did I'd get rude.
Arch mage144
: You know, I'm a mage, and I've never actually burned anyone.
Der DWSage: ...I was a cross between pope and enforcer for gods.
Arch mage144
: Not with fire, anyway...
Lithaladhwen: IM: I don't like fire.
Arch mage144
: Great Lord Agnostic, if I didn't have so many examples of sane religious people I'd swear that worshipping a deity sucked your brains out as your first offering.
Lithaladhwen: Heh.
CGNakibe
: Depends on which deity.
T3chn0Namagomi: I burned someone once, but mainly to get them out of their cover so I could kill them.
Der DWSage: Oh, that's only if you're not that intelligent to begin with.
CGNakibe
: I mean, I've heard awful things about a few in particular...
Lithaladhwen: Gaera has decent ones, mostly.
Lithaladhwen
: I've seen some fucked up repugnant shit, but you guys have a good system going.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Yeah. I leave them alone, and one of them wants me to "make more dragons". *snickers*
Der DWSage: Appreciated, even if I was an ass most of the time.
Der DWSage
: I got better.
Lithaladhwen
: I can tell, or I'd have attacked you long before now, on principle.
Lithaladhwen
: So far you seem safely sensible and just academic enough for good conversation.
Lithaladhwen
: These are all things that do not suck.
Der DWSage
: I'm glad to hear that.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Now if only I didn't run into so many proselytizing Ashurans or whatever they're called.
Der DWSage: It means I don't have to get violent, even in self-defense.
Lithaladhwen
: Yay for that!
Lithaladhwen
: We don't have to kill each other.
Lithaladhwen
: I think we've reached a very special place in our relationship.
Lithaladhwen
: You know. Emotionally, spiritually, grammatically.
Arch mage144
: Hell, even the Ashurans I know barely pay any attention to anyone else.
Der DWSage: <_<
CGNakibe
: Heh. Well, many seem to assume you're already one of them.
T3chn0Namagomi: A few of them have tried to either proselytize me or annoyingly bitch about my drinking.
Der DWSage: Yes, the stage where two people don't wish to kill each other is a very special one indeed.
Der DWSage
: Some never reach it.
Lithaladhwen
: *points* Exactly!
Der DWSage
: Some, like Kamos, get lucky. Good luck with the wedding, by the by.
Arch mage144
: I see.
Arch mage144: Yeah, man, did you finally decide on wedding protocol?
T3chn0Namagomi: Not quite yet.
A Rockin SN: (Remind me location)
Arch mage144: Are you going to take ten paces, wait for the signal, then fire at the bride?
Arch mage144: That's how a Valthi wedding works, right?
Lithaladhwen: *laughs*
T3chn0Namagomi
: Uh, no.
T3chn0Namagomi: Valthi marriages are simply done through a signed contract.
Der DWSage: (Streets.)
Der DWSage
: *Hides a smirk of his own!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: No ceremony at all.
Lithaladhwen: Cool.
Der DWSage
: *Nod*
Lithaladhwen
: Weddings back home took hours and hours and hours.
Der DWSage
: Sounds like eloping on my world, honestly. >_>
A Rockin SN
: I 'm sure some people wish they could fire at the bride! *D walks in!*
Lithaladhwen: Then you can never split up or their god hates you forever and they burn you or some shit.
Arch mage144
: Ah, so Valthi weddings are boring.
Arch mage144: At least taking ten and shooting at each other would be entertaining.
Arch mage144: You should drink a lot first so that you miss.
Der DWSage: *Snicker*
T3chn0Namagomi
: They can't be boring. You wouldn't be there to see it.
Der DWSage: At least they're boring and short, instead of boring, long, and require everyone and their sixty-times removed cousin to be there.
Lithaladhwen
: *points at Sorune* Thank you. Yes.
Lithaladhwen
: Jeez.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Very short.
T3chn0Namagomi: Though...hm. Very tempted to get a TON of drinks.
T3chn0Namagomi: Enough for everyone twice over. ^.^
Lithaladhwen: Then again, my brother didn't even TELL me when he married some juvenile gypsy wench.
Lithaladhwen
: *sigh*
Der DWSage
: What, and that isn't a beating offense?
Lithaladhwen
: Now I have to be nice and look out for her and shit.
Der DWSage
: What has the world come to?
Lithaladhwen
: No.... he's dumb. It's not his fault.
Lithaladhwen
: I blame Jesus. Or possibly Spain. Or our parents.
Der DWSage
: Oh.
Der DWSage
: Get him a new brain.
T3chn0Namagomi
: IM: Hmmm...sake, or maybe some of those wines...or dragonale...or...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Fuck. Now I want one.
Arch mage144: ...that's a lot of weird sources of blame.
Arch mage144: Never even heard of half of them.
Arch mage144: Wait, you have parents?
Arch mage144: ...I guess you'd have to.
Lithaladhwen: ....Yeah. I came out of a vagina like you did.
Der DWSage
: Hakaril?
Lithaladhwen
: Just not the same one, obviously.
Der DWSage
: ...Yeah. You've opened yourself up to a lot of bad jokes.
Arch mage144
: .......
Arch mage144: Shut up.
Der DWSage: You made yourself a target.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Do we need to tell him where babies come from? *to Shakti*
T3chn0Namagomi: *jokingly, of course*
Der DWSage: If Shakti stops picking on for something you said, then she has to stop picking Kamos for wanting to destroy things.
Der DWSage
: And what kind of world would that be?
Lithaladhwen
: The rivers would turn to blood.
Lithaladhwen
: Rain of frogs. Death and armageddon.
CGNakibe
: Ah, well. It is getting rather late, and I suppose my boss has waited long enough.
Lithaladhwen: I must mock to preserve the cosmos.
CGNakibe
: *bows* I shall see some of you in the future, I'm fairly sure.
Der DWSage: <_<
Lithaladhwen
: See you, Random Guy.
Der DWSage
: Farewell, mister masked man.
T3chn0Namagomi
: And I would end up marrying some random elf rather than Deeum. So indeed, she must mock.
Arch mage144: I know precisely where babies come from, damnit.
Arch mage144: I'm going to have one soon.
Arch mage144: And by that, I mean my wife is going to.
Der DWSage: *Snaps fingers* Damn, and I had a witty remark all ready.
Lithaladhwen
: Man. Am I the only one here not breeding?
CGNakibe
: Seros, my dear. *and thus he leaves*
CGNakibe: (Didn't figure I'd get much out of him today. Ah, well.)
Lithaladhwen: Tell me someone else here isn't having kids.
T3chn0Namagomi
: I'm not.
Der DWSage: ...I've already got a son. Does that count?
Lithaladhwen
: Yes! Damn it!
CGNakibe
: (Ryuugami: eVe)
Der DWSage: He's kinda still on Y'tuin, though.
A Rockin SN
: I'm not!
A Rockin SN: *jumps in*
Der DWSage: (Shaun gets a sympathy link.)
Lithaladhwen: I don't care where you spread your seed or why you haven't. I don't know you.
Der DWSage
: Neither do I.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Why the hell would I quit a perfectly good life simply to raise some expensive-ass kid?
A Rockin SN: Aww.
Lithaladhwen: Hey, you're still slipping, Captain. You're engaged.
Der DWSage
: So that you have someone to give chores to, that you don't particularly want to do, and call it 'parenting' and 'responsibility?'
Lithaladhwen
: I'm the only free-range crazy in this crazy crowd.
A Rockin SN
: Hey, Hakaril! No time no see! *waves*
A Rockin SN: (Thats' D there)
Der DWSage: Yes you are.
Der DWSage
: Obviously, you must get engaged and be a baby-machine like everyone else.
Der DWSage
: It's the only way. *Sage nod*
Lithaladhwen
: Oh, let me get right on that. I'll find someone to impregnate me this instant.
T3chn0Namagomi
: I don't really have much of mine in the apartment, and I wouldn't trust a kid with maintenance of my weapons anyway.
Lithaladhwen: Otherwise I'll live my life unfulfilled as a woman.
Der DWSage
: It's what some religions try to expound as truth.
T3chn0Namagomi
: (Kamos: Yeah, and you got me raped, Ryuugami. I say I don't owe you any dragons.)
Der DWSage: Therefore, it must be.
Lithaladhwen
: Oh, well. By that logic....
Lithaladhwen
: Sorune is an evil imp, Silvar is an evil witch, I'm a heretic spinster, and Captain over here is.... I dunno. They'd probably hire you to hunt gypsies.
Lithaladhwen
: So I guess you're cool.
Arch mage144
: D? It...it has been a long time.
Der DWSage: No, he uses magic.
A Rockin SN
: Indeed! Haven't had that old wanderlust in ages. How's it been?
Der DWSage: Therefore, he's another evil witch.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Depends if I use it or not.
Arch mage144: Things are working out.
Lithaladhwen: This is true.
Lithaladhwen
: Burn everyone.
Der DWSage
: And I'd at least be soul-stealing, let's be fair.
Arch mage144
: And as a side note, I'm not a witch. I'm male.
Lithaladhwen: You're a witch to them.
A Rockin SN
: That can be arranged, Hakaril.
Lithaladhwen: You cast magic. You have the power of the devil in you. You're clearly evil.
Lithaladhwen
: Look at that hair. It's an affront to all that is good and holy.
Lithaladhwen
: That garish blue. You horrid evil witch.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Ugh. More of those stupidfucks that believe in "good" and "evil". >.<
Der DWSage: Whereas I'm a holy man of another religion.
Arch mage144
: I would properly be referred to as a warlock, being male.
Der DWSage: I'd be up top of those on the 'burn' list.
Lithaladhwen
: Yeah. We'd all die.
Arch mage144
: This religion's doctrines confuse me.
Arch mage144: Why would you deny the usefulness of magic?
Arch mage144: What kind of philosophy calls magic heresy?
Der DWSage: Because they can't control it.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Maybe they don't have it, or it's extremely uncommon.
A Rockin SN: Hey, my hair is white and I wear all black.
Der DWSage: Therefore, it's evil.
Lithaladhwen
: It's uncommon.
A Rockin SN
: *ponder* And I use maledictions to boot, oh gods.
Der DWSage: Because they want to be the ones in control.
Lithaladhwen
: Sal and I didn't have it until we were picked up.
Lithaladhwen
: Man. You think if I snuck back and killed them, that my superiors would know it was me?
T3chn0Namagomi
: Who the hell knows?
Der DWSage: Why not hire Kamos to do it?
Lithaladhwen
: Because it's my kill.
Lithaladhwen
: I owe them a lot of kills.
Lithaladhwen
: Hell, we'll add one for me just because they gave it such a good sporting try.
Der DWSage
: Ah, well then.
Lithaladhwen
: Yeah. Though to be really fair I'd have to kill all their families. To be really even. But that seems excessive, even for me.
Lithaladhwen
: I'd at least leave the pets.
Lithaladhwen
: Pets are okay. Horses and dogs and junk.
Arch mage144
: I think they'd figure it out.
Der DWSage: I'd be very depressed if you killed their pets.
Der DWSage
: And I'd probably have to convince Sher to eat you.
A Rockin SN
: How druidic of you.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Fuck. I wonder if my mecha's weapon array is a bit overkill. Maybe I should tone it down, if only to build up the shielding a bit)
Der DWSage: *Shrug* I have to keep up appearances somehow.
Lithaladhwen
: I've got no problem with the animals. Like I said, that seems excessive. That's the Catholic line, not mine.
Der DWSage
: And since I refuse to have anything wooden, I make up for it with being friendly with animals.
Der DWSage
: Well, except for some of the squirrels.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Eh. Depends if the animal tries to kill me. Then again, animals tend to scare easily when not under special control.
Lithaladhwen: You mentioned them.
Lithaladhwen
: Not so! I have the best chocobo ever.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Tend to.
Der DWSage: Most animals are merely territorial, not vicious.
Lithaladhwen
: He's a real gentleman. I taught him to fight, not that he wasn't already damn good.
Der DWSage
: How would you feel if someone trapsed into your living room while you were having dinner, for example?
Lithaladhwen
: My Jodete. I gave him spurs and everything. *smile*
T3chn0Namagomi
: But I don't eat dinner in the apartment. o.o;
Der DWSage: And of course they'd be scared. For years, they've been shown that humanoids are the aggressors, and at best, they're victims.
Der DWSage
: >_> Assume, Kamos. Assume.
Der DWSage
: So it'd probably be more along the lines of having a rather large dragon step into your living room.
Der DWSage
: And blocking the way out, in some cases.
Arch mage144
: You have your own chocobo, eh?
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< Depends on what kind of dragon. I mean, Deeum's one.
Der DWSage: A large one.
Der DWSage
: That would eat you.
Lithaladhwen
: Yeah. Big red bastard. We had to earn each other's respect before we got along. Had a fight.
Der DWSage
: After turning you into a charcoal briquet.
Lithaladhwen
: He bit me and I punched him in the face with my mind.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Okay, so not Deeum.
Der DWSage: (Or is that briquette? I can never remember.)
Lithaladhwen
: He's a good bird.
Arch mage144
: Really, now. I have a red one myself. I'm not really a big chocobo handler or anything, mostly because care of animals at that level is beyond me, but I'm told that reds tend to have that kind of temperment to some extent.
Arch mage144: If they're not mean, they're at least very...firey. Much like their plumage.
Lithaladhwen: I got a discount for that reason. He's crazy.
T3chn0Namagomi
: <_< Blacks are also quite pissy. I know from experience.
Lithaladhwen: His name means "fuck you" in my language, because that's all I ever said to him anyway.
Lithaladhwen
: Jodete.
Arch mage144
: I see.
Der DWSage: I
Der DWSage
: I'll remember that*
Lithaladhwen
: I like my bird. Big angry red rooster.
Lithaladhwen
: He hisses at my brother.
Arch mage144
: Sounds like his judgment may not be so bad.
Lithaladhwen: Glad someone agrees.
Der DWSage
: Or at least he dislikes stupid people.
Lithaladhwen
: My brother isn't STUPID. He's just fucking dumb about everything.
Der DWSage
: ...
Arch mage144
: ...that's...that statement requires some...clarification.
Der DWSage: Did you prove my point, or is there a breakdown in communication?
Der DWSage
: Because that sounds like stupidity, or worse, willful stupidity, to me.
Lithaladhwen
: Nah. He's a smart kid. He just doesn't think and bases his decisions on notions of morality and decency that make no sense.
Der DWSage
: Ah.
Der DWSage
: So, smart-but-stupid.
Der DWSage
: That's even worse.
Lithaladhwen
: Yes it is.
Lithaladhwen
: Because you never know when the idiocy is coming.
A Rockin SN
: Hmm.
A Rockin SN: *ponder*
T3chn0Namagomi: The lattermost makes me convinced that he's a huge imbecile.
A Rockin SN: You mean kinda like me? Nah, my decisions are more arbitrary depending on my current mood and the amount of sugar consumed.
Arch mage144: There's nothing wrong with basing your decisions on instinct...occasionally.
T3chn0Namagomi: Not instinct.
T3chn0Namagomi: Morality.
Der DWSage: ...
Lithaladhwen
: Sal's not so bad. I owe him a bit. I mean, he's saved my life at least twice. I do owe him, if only a little.
Lithaladhwen
: He means well, and usually gets along just fine.
Der DWSage
: Decisions based entirely on morality, without passing through the filter of rational thought.
Der DWSage
: That rather scares me, honestly.
Arch mage144
: Isn't morality a form of instinct? It's just what you feel is right, isn't it?
Arch mage144: They're both illogical.
T3chn0Namagomi: Instinct just seems to be more trustworthy in battle than morality.
Arch mage144: They serve different purposes, I suppose.
A Rockin SN: But if morality is what you feel, why is it taught to people?
Lithaladhwen: Because grownups want their children to be like them.
Lithaladhwen
: Even down to what they believe. Especially that.
Der DWSage
: Instinct can be changed if taught long enough, too. >_>
Lithaladhwen
: Well, Sorune... as much as I'd like to hang out and play house with you guys... I think I'm going to go home.
Lithaladhwen
: Maybe I'll stop by another time.
Der DWSage
: *Nod* It is getting late, isn't it?
Lithaladhwen
: Yeah. Jeri's going to yell at me.
Lithaladhwen
: In that polite little way of hers that isn't actually yelling.
Der DWSage
: <_<
Der DWSage
: ...Right.
Der DWSage
: You know, I'm sure I could whip up something that causes laryngitis...
Lithaladhwen
: Nah. Jeri's a good woman.
Lithaladhwen
: *stops walking with the group* So... I'll talk to you guys later.
Der DWSage
: Goodnight.
Arch mage144
: *waves* I'll deliver those notes to the house this evening.
Arch mage144: Is that acceptable?
Lithaladhwen: Swell.
Lithaladhwen
: *turns around and heads back*
Lithaladhwen
: *waves and leaves the fellas behind*
Lithaladhwen
: </Shakti>
Arch mage144
: *bows slightly* I suppose I should go get those for her so I don't forget.
Arch mage144: Good seeing you again, D. It's been a while. Catch you later, Sorune.
Der DWSage: Goodnight, Hakaril.
T3chn0Namagomi
: And I need a fucking drink.
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks off*
Der DWSage: >_> I should get home myself.
Arch mage144
: *salutes Kamos sloppily and departs*
Der DWSage: (Midnight comes, and all the RPers turn into pumpkins.)
T3chn0Namagomi
: (XD)
Lithaladhwen: (They run out of things to do and can RP another time.)
T3chn0Namagomi
: (More like I'm desperately trying to finish details on mecha)
Der DWSage: (Anyway. G'night all.)
A Rockin SN
: Mhm...
Der DWSage: (And dude, it's midnight.)
Lithaladhwen
: (Aye.)
Der DWSage
: (And all of us almost simultaneously bowed out of RP. :{ )
T3chn0Namagomi
: (By the way. Is DR 380/0/720 too damn ATF-like?)
Arch mage144: (What are those other numbers? Ablatives? HP?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (380 is metal, 720 is shielding)
Lithaladhwen: (Hey. I started the avalanche. I take full responsibility for everyone bowing out at once.)
T3chn0Namagomi
: (The 0 is ablative.)
Lithaladhwen: </( )>
Lithaladhwen
: Anyway. 1
