CGNakibe: (WE. LOVE. GIANT ROBOTS)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (I DO INDEED)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (I'D LIKE TO TOUCH YOUR GIANT ROBUT)
pd Rydia: (I'm rooting for the monkeys, myself)
Lithaladhwen: (Whoever invited Oniichan: Thanks.)
pd Rydia: (ya welcome)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (YUSH)
pd Rydia: (want me to invite ChaosArgent/Shadowchocodude?)
Lithaladhwen: (I did.)
pd Rydia: (kayo)
Lithaladhwen: (He messaged me at 8:30 and demanded to know why I was late and there was no RP, which irked me a bit since I'd told him 8.5-9.)
Lithaladhwen: (And now he hasn't accepted the invite, so whatever.)
ChaosArgent has entered the room.
blender_bunny@mac.com: (So whats happening in dis thread?)
ChaosArgent: (All I know is that it's a chat RP that I'm lurking in. :-) )
CGNakibe: (Fishy...)
Lithaladhwen: (Shadow: Remember how you IMed me demanding to know why I was late? Well, I invited you ten minutes ago.)
Lithaladhwen: (You're late. =P )
ChaosArgent: (I IMed you 50 minutes ago, so...
ChaosArgent: )
Lithaladhwen: (And I told you 8.5-9.)
Lithaladhwen: (I came up here at 9:10 and sent invites.)
ChaosArgent: (Yeah, yeah. I'd been doing other things too.)
ChaosArgent: (Hadn't noticed the invite.)
Lithaladhwen: (Anyway. If anyone else has a problem with me starting chat at times that work for me, they should start their own rooms next time and they can invite me instead.)
Lithaladhwen: (Who's playing?)
Besyanteo: (I am, just trying to close some windows)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (Just random thrown together?)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (If I can get feeling into my fingertips I might)
Lithaladhwen: (Oniichan: It's mostly for people who are actually in Brian's MAC game, but anyone with a character is welcome.)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (Ah, in which case I shall lurk)
CGNakibe: (I'm only mildly distracted now. >:P)
Lithaladhwen: (Part of the reason we're doing this is because we won't get to have a GMed session this week and one of the squadmembers died.)
Will Rennar: (Ouch, that sucks. :[ On both parts.)
blender_bunny@mac.com: (V is for voyeurism, which I will enjoy greatly.)
KnightsofSquare: (Oh shit! someone got deaderated?)
Besyanteo: (Jes. ._.)
Will Rennar: (Wasn't you, was it Jason?)
Besyanteo: (Eh? No.)
Besyanteo: (Priam's character, a mage,)
Besyanteo: (got turned into chum by plasma blades.)
Will Rennar: (Oh.)
KnightsofSquare: Ow.
KnightsofSquare: ()
Besyanteo: (Does this look like the font I had before?)
CGNakibe: (It does)
pd Rydia: (mmm, char death)
pd Rydia: (no pun intended)
pd Rydia: (okay, I lied. Blame Mike)
Lithaladhwen: (I'll be right back, as I need to heat up a bowl of pasta. I'll be around two minutes.)
pd Rydia: (bring me some too)
Lithaladhwen: (If anybody in MAC wants to intro us up in my absence, they're more than welcome.)
CGNakibe: *MAC Igala's new and interesting underwater base. If one thought about how much pressure the water was putting on the force fields surrounding the place, it might be considered "Depressing."*
Besyanteo: (... Ok, that's just bad.)
Besyanteo: (=P)
CGNakibe: (Yeah yeah. I'm terrible. >:P)
Besyanteo: (Please continue!)
CGNakibe: *But the mood today is not because of that, but rather the result of an enemy attack a few days ago. One in which the cadets of Igala D lost a valuable teammate in Private Redford, as well as the severe injuries sustained...*
Lithaladhwen: (Back.)
CGNakibe: *By another of their number, Private Serran Dien. But for now, things are quiet, and the cadets are hard pressed to savor this time...*
CGNakibe: (Intros Please!)
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Actually...... I'm going to use Brian's computer.)
Besyanteo: *Sigov, half orc machinist, has been going back and forth between repairing his Mecha, and visiting Serran... wiaitng for him to wake up.*
Lithaladhwen: (This will require me relocating slightly. I am still with you, because you know I love you.)
Besyanteo: *Though rumor has it that at one point, he and Oxblood were talking peacefully recently! This is a fucking event!*
CGNakibe: *He hasn't yet, but perhaps soon....*
Arch mage144: (Here.)
Arch mage144: <Helena>
Arch mage144: *In the corner of Serran's room is a thirty-something year old woman sitting cross-legged in a chair. She has a big heavy book in her lap and apparently is eating a lollipop.*
Besyanteo: *Currently there, leaning against a wall, looking none too happy.*
Arch mage144: *Helena pulls the lollipop out of her mouth. It's blue. Like that goofy overlong hair of hers.*
Arch mage144: Hey Sigov. Found something to do yet?
Besyanteo: ... I don't like what's been coming out in my drawings recently. So I'm sitting here. Waiting for him.
Arch mage144: What've you been drawing?
Besyanteo: (brb.)
Besyanteo: (Family)
Arch mage144: (Happens.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I return!)
CGNakibe: (For those that are lurking, no need to do so. There are many people here who probably have nothing to do with the characters often!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (SOMEONE SET ME UP THE BOMB)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I mean set me up)
Arch mage144: (Yeah. Underwater base about to drill into an enemy corporate base. You either cast magic or pilot a huge robot.)
Arch mage144: (People are hanging out in Serran's hospital room for now, Shini. At least, Sigov and Hel are. Serran is also there.)
Besyanteo: .... I keep catching myself sketching what happened to Redford. I don't mean to, I just...
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And thus did random girl #1282 trudge in.*
Besyanteo: *looks over*
Besyanteo: *Hey, it's someone Tareen has never met before!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Screw that!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *To Hel!* ...Is it true?
Arch mage144: .....
Arch mage144: About Redford?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Nod*
Arch mage144: Yes. He died and I was there when he passed on. I tried to help, and I'm sure he'll be fine.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...It's my fault.
Arch mage144: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: I never found it.
Arch mage144: Never found what?
TheWaiChibiAngel: I knew I should have kept looking!
Arch mage144: IM: Don't say pudding.
Arch mage144: IM: Please don't say anything about finding pudding.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Begins banging her head on whatever's closest!* I knew I should have kept looking!
Arch mage144: *stands up, leaving behind the book but not the lollipop* Tareen!
Arch mage144: Stop that. You're making a lot of noise and you might break something.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Why didn't I find it!?
Besyanteo: IM: Well... Atleast I don't seem too bad compared to that.
TheWaiChibiAngel: That stupid bucket!
CGNakibe: *Moans a bit. Sounds pitiful*
Arch mage144: *glances to Serran* Tareen, shut up.
Arch mage144: I don't know what obligation you had toward Redford's bucket needs, but believe me, there was nothing we could have done.
Besyanteo: *over by Serran's bedside now!*
Arch mage144: If he'd held it against you, he would have told me so because he made snide remarks to other people who weren't you.
Besyanteo: (Poor Serran. Gonna wake up to that ugly mug. =D)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Spins* I was looking for it. I almost found it.
pd Rydia: (a bucket is a terrible thing to waste)
TheWaiChibiAngel: The bucket. The one everyone's been kicking!
TheWaiChibiAngel: If I found it, he wouldn't have kicked it!
Arch mage144: Tareen.... there were no buckets. That is a euphemism. There are no literal buckets involved.
Besyanteo: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: There is!
TheWaiChibiAngel: I almost found it!
Arch mage144: He did not buy any agricultural land, he did not kick any buckets, he did not do anything like that.
Arch mage144: He was torn apart by an enemy we were not fast enough to prevent.
Besyanteo: IM: ... *thoughts of gruesome death.*
Arch mage144: If you have to blame yourself, please don't do it because you didn't find a metaphor.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..I almost did.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I came really close.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Are you sure it doesn't count?
Arch mage144: I'm sure. But he's fine now. I made sure that things went the way they're supposed to go.
CGNakibe: uhhh....
Besyanteo: *Distraction!*
Arch mage144: *crunches through her lollipop and pulls the gum inside off the stick*
Arch mage144: He waking up, Sigov?
CGNakibe: *slowly opens his eyes* Wha.... *has a half-orc in them.* EH? o.O;
Arch mage144: IM: 172 licks.
Besyanteo: Yes, he's awake.
Besyanteo: (Ha)
CGNakibe: (Thank you for the information, Helena)
Arch mage144: I'd heal him but... I don't know what the hell they put in him.
Arch mage144: (I counted once. It was 172.)
Arch mage144: (I think.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: Who's that?
CGNakibe: ...wha... what... oh.
CGNakibe: We... got em? =.=
Will Rennar has left the room.
Arch mage144: Serran, the base is fine. That's all you need to worry about.
Besyanteo: Yeah.
Besyanteo: We blew them up good.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Blinky*
CGNakibe: .... they... know... too much...
Arch mage144: I would like you to clarify, but I think you're likely not in a condition to do so.
Arch mage144: Want me to see if I can heal you?
Besyanteo: (... My moither needs to stop using me as a middle nab to talk to James.)
Arch mage144: (Heh.)
Besyanteo: (middle man*)
Besyanteo: ... What?
pd Rydia: (I like nab better)
Besyanteo: Know too much?
Arch mage144: *tosses her stick in the rubbish bin and chews the gum inside thoughtfully*
Besyanteo: (... bah. I see Ashley had that one, now.)
Besyanteo: (Too many damned windows.)
Arch mage144: IM: It makes my teeth gritty. And it doesn't taste like raspberries. And it's the wrong color.
Arch mage144: (It's a valid question for more than one person to ask.)
CGNakibe: M... maybe.... *to Helena*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: Who's that?
pd Rydia: (I'mma log off for the night, I think)
CGNakibe: They... secret... item...
Besyanteo: (night)
CGNakibe: (Night Dia)
pd Rydia: (though this is neat :[ )
Arch mage144: (Night!)
pd Rydia: (nightyo!)
pd Rydia has left the room.
Arch mage144: .....*goes over to the side of his bed* Okay. This should help. You are officially giving me consent to use magic on you, so I will.
CGNakibe: Yeah..
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 4 4
Arch mage144: (Success. You got!)
Arch mage144: (Three more hit points.)
Besyanteo: (triple fours seem to like Shaun)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (For serious.)
CGNakibe: Better.... thanks.
CGNakibe: (Also: Joker!)
Arch mage144: I can hit you again if you like.
CGNakibe: *shakes head, still unsteady from the meds*
CGNakibe: They took... a classified item from that base...
CGNakibe: *sits up slowly* The fact that they knew what it was...
CGNakibe: The fact that they found this place.
CGNakibe: Its too convenient.
TheWaiChibiAngel: HEY!
Arch mage144: *chews her gum and nods*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Points* Who's that!?
Arch mage144: IM: This makes my teeth gritty. I don't like it.
Besyanteo: *who is she pointing at?*
Arch mage144: Tareen, who? Sigov, or Serran or me?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Sigov*
Arch mage144: Sigov, this is Tareen. Tareen, Sigov.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...NOw why would I ask who you are.
Arch mage144: Sigov, please ignore most of the things Tareen does and says. She means well and is a valuable and indispensable aspect of our team.
Arch mage144: She's also the only one here older than I am.
Arch mage144: *goes and spits out the gum*
Besyanteo: *Looks like an orc! ... But not as ill-proportioned as Oxblood*
Arch mage144: Those lollipops are unsatisfying.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..*Waves*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Looks like random MAC person!*
Besyanteo: ... How old are you? >_>
Besyanteo: *whoops, that's right, he hardly knows her.*
Arch mage144: How old do I look?
Arch mage144: *smirk*
Besyanteo: ... late 20s.
Arch mage144: *grins* You're sweet. I think I look older than that, and I wouldn't have hit you for saying so.
Besyanteo: *he smirks*
Arch mage144: *question-evade-jutsu!*
Besyanteo: IM: Weirdos, all.
Besyanteo: Well, nice to meet you... ah... Tareen.
CGNakibe: Did anything else happen while I've been out?
Besyanteo: ... Oxblood appologized. Twice.
CGNakibe: ....
CGNakibe: Are you sure the world didn't end instead?
Besyanteo: Yeah.
Arch mage144: Well. After Redford haunted me solely to make fun of the orc.
CGNakibe: .... Wow.... just.... wow.
Arch mage144: I think it knocked some sense into him.
CGNakibe: ... Hm. -.-
Besyanteo: ... oy.
Arch mage144: Redford is fine by the way. He's gone, but he's fine.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I never got to say goodbye.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Maybe Mom'll do it.
Arch mage144: Is your mother dead?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Both of them..
Arch mage144: Ah.
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: IM: Eh, not as weird.
Besyanteo: *has entirely the wrong idea*
Arch mage144: Well, I can't honestly say. I don't know enough about your parents. I don't have access to records or anything, you know.
CGNakibe: ...*yaaaawn* Feel better now... but still tired.
TheWaiChibiAngel: She probably will.
Besyanteo: IM: Should I tell him his Mech's totaled?
Besyanteo: IM: ... wait a while.
Arch mage144: *shrugs*
Besyanteo: *his watch beeps* ... Repair crew's waiting for me. Back in a few hours.
Arch mage144: Enjoy, Sigov.
Besyanteo: *He nods. and... off he goes*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..
TheWaiChibiAngel: Repair crew?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Isn't that me?
CGNakibe: *lays down* Might be...
Arch mage144: If you like.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Why didn't I know!?
Besyanteo: *just out side the door* ... We could always use a hand.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Did I get kicked off the team for not finding the bucket!?
Arch mage144: Tareen, no.
Besyanteo: ...
Arch mage144: Just go. You'll feel better.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I tried, I really did!
Arch mage144: You will feel better.
Arch mage144: Go.
CGNakibe: Don't mean to be a rude host but... *yawns* I'm gonna get some sleep... =.=
Besyanteo: IM: Do I trust her in the Seppo?
Arch mage144: Sure, Serran. Let me know if you want me to zap you again.
Besyanteo: (Serran: Please! I like what it does to my hair. *sports and afro*)
TheWaiChibiAngel: I need to fix things! That's why they pay me!
CGNakibe: Okay... =.=
Besyanteo: .. Tareen.
Arch mage144: *grabs her book and heads out, wondering where the hell she's supposed to go now*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Runs* If I don't work I don't get paid and then I get thrown out and mom's not proud of me anymoooorrreeee~
Arch mage144: (Man. Where is Nama. Gr.)
Besyanteo: ... *just goes*
Besyanteo: IM: Nut ball.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Is already running! And ranting about something. Who knows?*
Besyanteo: *Is she running for the mecha bay?!*
ChaosArgent: ((Well, I have to be off. 'night everyone.))
ChaosArgent has left the room.
Arch mage144: *returns the book Redford left for her to her room, sending silent thanks for her lack of a roommate to... well, not to Resh because they're "on terms" but to the beaurocrats who randomly assigned living quarters.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Yes!*
Besyanteo: IM: Here we go...
Besyanteo: *Well!*
CGNakibe: (Where is Doug when we need Zeiren most?)
Besyanteo: *when they get there... Seems there's a crew of about four already working on a 4 legged mecha, with an exposed chest mount rail gun, machine gun arms, and shoulder mounted auto-canons.*
Besyanteo: *And there is not a bit of panneling on the entire mech.*
Besyanteo: *Looks like they're swapping out the eletric. All of it.*
Arch mage144: *Helena lays down her book, looks around her room and decides that she.... well, she kind of wants to be around people. Which is a strange urge, but probably a healthy one, so she decides to indulge it.*
Besyanteo: *Sigov goes to direct them, and take part.*
Besyanteo: *What will Tareen do?!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..H..Hey..
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..That's my job!
Arch mage144: IM: If I'm going to be turning astral symbiotes inside out, perhaps I could at least attempt to understand the basic principles behind them.
Besyanteo: Feel free to lend a hand! I want this done as fast as possible.
Arch mage144: IM: And I'm bored. It's either sit here alone, sit with Serran and not heal him, or go watch the others do whatever.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..But..
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Am I..FireD?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Stupid bucket!
Besyanteo: ... What?
Arch mage144: IM: They spend a lot of time fixing things. It's important to them. I should understand.
Besyanteo: ... No? o_o
Arch mage144: *promptly gets out and heads to the mecha bay*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Then why is everyone else doing my job? ._.
Arch mage144: *can hear Tareen yelling from the hallway*
Besyanteo: ... *grunts and glares. Hey! He looks more like Oxblood already*
Arch mage144: IM: Great. Sounds productive.
Besyanteo: *rather than helping, he goes to get to work on his machine. No time for the weird, whiney, self indulgent girl he doesn't know a thing about yet. ... wait a minute ,that's not right...*
Arch mage144: *Helena stands by the doorway leaning on her staff and watches them silently.*
OMG Priam has entered the room.
Arch mage144: IM: It seems odd that in an age of mass production, they would be so attached to machines.
Arch mage144: (Hey Priam.)
OMG Priam: (Yo)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hey! Hey! Those are my tools! I see you looking at them!
Arch mage144: IM: However, if it were custom-built, as many of these are, I suppose it's not unreasonable that they would guard them as I did my research.
Arch mage144: IM: It's been too long since I made anything.
Besyanteo: *Sigov seems to be busy berating his workers now. They seem to be sued to it. Kinda.*
Besyanteo: (used*)
Besyanteo: *HE does look over at Tareen* Were you gonna help, or sit down there and pout?!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Marches over!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'M THE BEST ENGINEER! ..LIKE, EVER.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Because I cheat!
TheWaiChibiAngel: What's broken!?
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: Got hit with EMP. The electric's toast. Every bit of it.
Besyanteo: We're replacing it now.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...That's it?
Besyanteo: Yeah.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Psh.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Psh, I say!
Besyanteo: *looks annoyed now* It's not a hard job. It's just a tedious one.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Begins climbing up to the cockpit*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Not when you're Awesome G-I mean...
Arch mage144: IM: She does cheat. It's possible she's had more opportunity for experience,and her bizarre physiology allows her an intimate knowledge of how the innards of these machines function.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Not when you're awesome.
Arch mage144: IM: Except she's insane.
Besyanteo: ... *goes to see what the fuck she's up to*
Besyanteo: Alright, smart one. What are you doing then?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Easy!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Pull this part out-
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Does so! Pulling that part out.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Take the new one!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Put it in!
Besyanteo: ... e_e; Which is what we've been doing.
Besyanteo: IM: Is she retarded, or does she think we are?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Aha! But you forgot to tell me I forgot to connect it!
Besyanteo: ....
Besyanteo: Get out of my mecha.
Arch mage144: IM: His sense of... ownership over this machine is causing him undue stress when she suggests obvious repair strategies. Is it really that she's assuming he's incompetent....
Arch mage144: IM: Or is it just because he wants to do it himself?
Arch mage144: *Necromancer Is Watching You*
TheWaiChibiAngel: BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.
Besyanteo: (Ceiling cat is watching you masturbate.)
Arch mage144: (Helena does not masturbate.)
Arch mage144: (Sex is something mortals do.)
Besyanteo: (I fail to care!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Oozes her hand in, and does the connections!*
Arch mage144: (She fails to orgasm! We all fail!)
Besyanteo: ....
TheWaiChibiAngel: See, all your people are like "STUPID CONNECTIONS" and I'm like "PSH, WHATEVER, SIR."
Besyanteo: *shudders involuntarily*
Besyanteo: No offense, but that's the creepiest thing I've ever seen.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Pulls her hand up, and throws a fist in the air* MAD SKILLZ!
OMG Priam: (And you watched a man die recently =D )
Besyanteo: (He did.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: It's opnly creepy because you're a weenie.
TheWaiChibiAngel: HEY, HELENA!
TheWaiChibiAngel: AM I CREEPY!?
Besyanteo: ...
OMG Priam: (Best question ever award goes to...)
Besyanteo: *he... laughs?*
Arch mage144: Yes, Tareen. I can say this with certainty because.... it takes one to know one, as I've heard it.
Arch mage144: Sigov? Am I correct?
TheWaiChibiAngel: What? I'm not creepy!
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm AWESOME.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Awesomeus Maxiumus!
Besyanteo: Sure are, Helena.
Arch mage144: Well. Tareen, there's nothing wrong with being creepy as long as you get your job done, and you do.
Besyanteo: *he pats Tareen's shoulder* Good work. I'll be here monitoring the dunderheads.
Besyanteo: (out here*)
Arch mage144: I'm pretty sure it's the only thing saving me. Enjoy it. It's a good thing.
Besyanteo: *and... he goes to watch the other mechanics!*
Arch mage144: Sigov, when you get a moment, I have some questions to ask you.
Besyanteo: Sure!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Works!* Best mechanic EVER!
Besyanteo: *And... TIME PASSES?!*
Besyanteo: (Cid and Mid: *run all over the Mech. Nothing changes, but it's repaired!*)
Arch mage144: (Yeah, sure. Helena can watch people for a long time.)
Besyanteo: *With time, effort, and creepy girl, they get the Seppo back in order well ahead of schedule*
Besyanteo: *Which means Sigov has plenty of time to thank Tareen for her help, and then run over to Helena before anything else comes up today.*
Besyanteo: So, you had questions?
Arch mage144: Yes. It seems to me that the Oxblood issue has been largely resolved, and now that people have regained their equilibrium I was curious about it.
Besyanteo: Eh? What about it?
Arch mage144: Well, first of all. You and Oxblood clearly have conflicting notions of what your ethnicity demands of you, hence his rather derogatory remarks toward you, and your constant insistence that he bathe.
Arch mage144: Correct?
Besyanteo: Yeah.
Arch mage144: Now, I'm curious about the situation because I don't understand it. You seem to be in relatively similar lines of work, you have the same goals, the same allies, the same enemies.
Besyanteo: ...
Arch mage144: Why was ethnic or cultural difference such a sparking point?
Besyanteo: Look Helena. He threatened to kill me over crackers. I think I'm inclined to dislike him after that.
Besyanteo: (...er, not inclined.)
Besyanteo: (entitled.)
Arch mage144: Why did he do that?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Pops up* Because he loves crackers?
Besyanteo: I compared him to Makura. ... Before I knew Makura much, but he seemed like an asshole. *shrug* Anyway, for some reason he started yelling about traitors and told me we were gonna duel after the wa-
Besyanteo: ... <_< ... war. With Axes.
Arch mage144: ....
Arch mage144: I see. That's very interesting.
Besyanteo: ... As for "ethnic differences",
Besyanteo: He thinks being an orc means you have to stink and be a jerk and get drunk, I guess. I haven't ever met another orc who acts like that, often as we get the reputation it sort of makes me mad.
Besyanteo: I'd like to think that I can get by without being a raging stereotype. >_>
Besyanteo: (fun fact: )
Arch mage144: Hm. I think that so far I'm inclined to agree with you, despite the fact that Oxblood and I have never had problems.
Arch mage144: I understand that I've become something of a stereotypical shady necromancer in my old age, but I wasn't always.
Besyanteo: (I dared Doug to play a "from the ghetto" black man some time, as an NPC, when Oxblood started that up. To see how Cha would react.)
Arch mage144: And I think I was better off then. *nod*
Arch mage144: (Oh, man.)
Arch mage144: (It would have to be Doug too. Because he'd tolerate it from me.)
Besyanteo: (Heh.)
OMG Priam: (Don't make me rewrite my new character)
Besyanteo: (=D)
Arch mage144: (Mmmm. No you dint.)
OMG Priam: (SWEET CHRISTMAS, BOYEE)
CGNakibe: (Don't look at me. >:P)
Besyanteo: (As it is, Doug didn't want to do it. And we both like Shaun too much to use that as a way to crack on Cha.)
CGNakibe: (I know the act, but I can't RP it well.)
CGNakibe: (And yes, this involves stabbings of some sort)
Besyanteo: (ALSO ALSO: FIGHT FIGHT)
Besyanteo: (.. Fish dammit.)
CGNakibe: (FISH FIGHT)
TheWaiChibiAngel: I've always been like this!
TheWaiChibiAngel: But more compact!
Besyanteo: (for fuck's sake. It his 10 o'clock local and I can't think anymore.)
Besyanteo: <_< ... I don't doubt it.
Besyanteo: ... Anyway.
Besyanteo: How long has it been? *he looks for a clock*
Besyanteo: ... *before remmebering he has a watch.*
Besyanteo: *Ha ha.*
Besyanteo: (SHAUN.)
Besyanteo: (Feel like RPing again?)
CGNakibe: (YAES?)
CGNakibe: (Only kinda sorta. Whatcha got in mind?)
Besyanteo: (difference between 2 hours and 4.)
CGNakibe: (2 hours of boredom. >:P)
Besyanteo: (4 hours would get a suggestion to look in on Serran.)
Besyanteo: (2 would not!)
OMG Priam: (COIN FLIP)
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 1 2-sided die: 2
Arch mage144: (Rock paper scissors.)
Arch mage144: (Damn.)
CGNakibe: (Looks like 4 hours)
Besyanteo: ... Been a while. Wanna go check in on Serran?
Arch mage144: Yeah, why not.
Besyanteo: You comin Tareen?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Huh?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh yeah!
Besyanteo: *Then... he goes! Towards the room!*
CGNakibe: *Serran is in the room!*
Arch mage144: *follows*
Besyanteo: (BUT IS YOMI THERE?!)
Arch mage144: (Serran: I HAVE RISEN. Do you know how long it has been since I have risen?)
CGNakibe: *Awake, and possibly a bit pissed* HAD to get my mech trashed. Again...
Besyanteo: (Oxblood: Dunno. You into porn? o.o)
Arch mage144: Feeling better, Serran?
Besyanteo: (Meant that to be Sigov, but Oxblood feels better for it.)
CGNakibe: ... huh? Oh, hey Hel.
Besyanteo: *walks in after her!*
CGNakibe: (That felt... wrong-yet-right. >:P)
Besyanteo: (Hee)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Tareen is also here!
CGNakibe: ... Just wishing things had turned out better.
CGNakibe: <.<;;; Oh, Hey Tareen.
CGNakibe: Sup, Sigov?
Besyanteo: Not much. Tareen just helped me pull all the scrap wire out of my Mecha.
Besyanteo: She's damn good at it, gotta admit.
CGNakibe: That she is.
Arch mage144: *sighs*
CGNakibe: IM: Even though she's as crazy as they come....
Besyanteo: (Aw c'mon. She's not even playying with our organs yet. =D)
Besyanteo: (... Give her a few years and surgeon training though...)
CGNakibe: (But given a chance...)
CGNakibe: (Heh.)
Besyanteo: (Can you see Tareen the miraculous brain surgeon?)
CGNakibe: (I can. And it scars my brain.)
Besyanteo: (Wonderful results, but everyone's scared to go under her knife jsut the same....)
CGNakibe: So what's up?
Besyanteo: Came over to see how you were doin. Not much else to do right now.
CGNakibe: Totalled another mecha, apparently.
Besyanteo: Yeah...
CGNakibe: Hey, where's Zeiren? Out on watch?
Besyanteo: Yeah. He's been keepin busy.
Arch mage144: I was watching him play games yesterday.
Arch mage144: He couldn't adequately explain the "super moves."
CGNakibe: Heh. Yeah. They take a little bit to explain.
CGNakibe: Which game? You remember?
Arch mage144: I... um.... It was.... There was a woman with hair as long as mine.
Arch mage144: She hit you with it.
OMG Priam: (Clearly, this is Kabuki Quantum Fighter)
Besyanteo: IM: Uhg. That one. I must be the only person in Igala who doesn't like that one.
CGNakibe: Oh.
Arch mage144: I won't ask you to elucidate on the games until you're feeling up to it. But I just... don't get it.
Arch mage144: It seems so... random sometimes. The characters and what they do.
CGNakibe: *chuckles* Yeah, thanks.
Besyanteo: (... Where is Doug? ;-;-)
CGNakibe: Don't look at me. I'm the one that likes Demon Avatar the most.
Arch mage144: (Not online.)
Arch mage144: What is the premise of that game?
Besyanteo: (;-;!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: You mean the flashy things that are all "BIFF!" *uppercut* "POW!" *Jab*
CGNakibe: (I think he got booted off the comp. With boots)
Arch mage144: *nods to Tareen*
Besyanteo: It's a fighting game.
CGNakibe: Well, if you're just casually playing it, its like any other fighting game. Beat up the other guy.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm really good at those!
Besyanteo: Two players beat the shit out of eachother for fun with little pixelated characters.
Arch mage144: *nods to Serran*
CGNakibe: More story to that one than most, so there's a little more going on.
Besyanteo: *stops now!*
Arch mage144: IM: Finally. Real explanations.
CGNakibe: Sigov has the right idea, yeah.
CGNakibe: Which one you play, anyway?
Besyanteo: Alley Brawlers and Empire of Fighters, mostly.
CGNakibe: Ah, the classics.
CGNakibe: So many people miss out on those.
Arch mage144: Alley Brawlers. I have heard of that one.
Besyanteo: *smirk*
Arch mage144: I worked for someone once who made me play it.
Besyanteo: ... *raised brow*
Besyanteo: made you.
CGNakibe: What'd you think of it?
Arch mage144: I don't know. I don't think it was for me.
Besyanteo: Eh. That one is a little hti and miss these days.
Arch mage144: How long has it been around?
Besyanteo: Older graphics and clunkier controls. ... And.. Hm.
Besyanteo: 12 years? <_<
Besyanteo: Less?
Arch mage144: Oh, wow. Okay.
Arch mage144: For some reason I assumed it was more recent than that.
CGNakibe: Yeah, Empire of Fighters still is around and updating. Even if they're a bit off the wall sometimes.
CGNakibe: What is up with that Bloody Rose guy anyway?
Besyanteo: *shrug and a smirk*
Arch mage144: *head tilt*
Besyanteo: ... Alley Brawlers mostly just gets comic book crossovers now.
Besyanteo: Crappy ones, at that.
Arch mage144: So do you have favorite characters? I know Zeiren has a few he prefers.
Arch mage144: Why do you play the ones you do?
Besyanteo: ... Why do some people like apples and others oranges? Simple preference.
CGNakibe: If the game is well balanced, it is.
Besyanteo: Well yeah ,there's that too.
CGNakibe: If you're playing the most recent Alley Brawlers games... *shudders*
Arch mage144: *to Sigov* But it isn't that simple.
Arch mage144: It can't be.
CGNakibe: Pick Sattelite and win.
Arch mage144: I like apples because I like that some of them are sour, and the texture of oranges is strange.
Arch mage144: So.....
Besyanteo: *he shrugs to Hel* Just a metaphor...
Arch mage144: Why do you prefer some? Is there a move you prefer, or the wardrobe?
Arch mage144: Or the story?
Arch mage144: What?
Besyanteo: (Ha ha ha. This is awesome.)
CGNakibe: Depends. I pick the ones I'm good with. Usually that means I'm looking for specific types of moves or styles.
Arch mage144: I see.
Besyanteo: Well... I never thought much about the outfits one way or another. And Alley Brawlers was never huge on story. ... But I still like it.
CGNakibe: (Good thing here is that Serran can be as much of a gamer geek as I am. >:P)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Metaphor?
TheWaiChibiAngel: That's what the bucket is!
Besyanteo: IM: ...
Arch mage144: What kinds of moves do you like? Do you like fast characters, or versatile ones? Long-range fighters or melee?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...I still don't know why I got fired. I tried my best to find it. ._.
Arch mage144: ....Tareen?
Besyanteo: You didn't get fired! >_<
CGNakibe: I like the ones that have lots of options, actually.
Arch mage144: I'll get you your job back. I promise.
Arch mage144: You'll be able to go back to work immediately. But you owe me, all right?
CGNakibe: Tareen? Fired? o.o
CGNakibe: What?
Arch mage144: Serran, no.
Besyanteo: NO ONE GOT FIRED! >_<
TheWaiChibiAngel: Thanks, Helena. You're the best friend I ever had, scince that mechanical weasel.
Arch mage144: Everyone just stop questioning it.
Besyanteo: .....
Arch mage144: You're welcome, Tareen.
Besyanteo: *stares*
CGNakibe: IM: Mechanical.... Weasel?
CGNakibe: IM: Just don't ask, Serran. Doooon't ask.
Besyanteo: *just openly stares at Tareen.*
Besyanteo: IM: WHAT?
TheWaiChibiAngel: He was my best friend ever. ._.
Besyanteo: IM: WHAT?
CGNakibe: ..... >.>;;;
Besyanteo: (What's horrible is Chris and I do have conversations like this.)
Besyanteo: (Complete with loud "WHAT? WHAT?")
CGNakibe: (And to think that the only things that I tend to cover is demon squirrels.)
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: *absently* What were we talking about?
CGNakibe: Gaming. Definitely gaming.
Arch mage144: Your games.
Arch mage144: And the characters you play and why.
Besyanteo: ... Long range moves. Dhali, on Alley brawlers, is a good example.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh oh oh!
TheWaiChibiAngel: I was in one of those games.
CGNakibe: Like I said, options are my thing. Usually the characters I play are considered a bit weak, but they have a lot of abilities I can use.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm in a lot, actually. o_o
CGNakibe: (Tareen was Blue Suede Goo? o.o)
Besyanteo: She punches all the way across the screen.
Arch mage144: That sounds useful.
Besyanteo: Mmm. Can't use it too often, though. People catch on and jump over it.
CGNakibe: Depends. Am I hitting her hands for trying? >:P
Besyanteo: Heh. ... I also like Pete though, for an entirely different reason.
Besyanteo: He's an inustani cage fighter, who wears a mask and uses long claws.
Arch mage144: Interesting.
CGNakibe: Eww. Him? He's kinda out there.
Besyanteo: If you beat him hard enough his mask flies off and he goes berserk. It's hillarious to watch the first few times.
CGNakibe: Total weirdo.
CGNakibe: But that's what happens when you care more about your face than anything else.
Besyanteo: Heh. Yeah. Anyway, I'll lose on purpose with him just to see that.
Arch mage144: That's interesting.
Arch mage144: So sometimes the novelty of a unique character outweighs the desire to win.
Arch mage144: I didn't expect that.
Besyanteo: Heh. Not surprising. More than a couple folks think it's weird when I do that.
CGNakibe: (Robot Helena needs more input)
OMG Priam: (BZZT)
Besyanteo: (Helena: Input, Stefanie!)
Arch mage144: (Helena: EXPLAIN_THE_VIDEO_GAME_PREFERENC ES)
CGNakibe: That is sorta surprising. But eh. *shrugs* Lots of ways to play.
Besyanteo: Heh.
Besyanteo: I also have a thing for RPGs, but I haven't been much into the recent ones.
Arch mage144: I never had the patience for... for those. If they're what I think they are.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Because you are...A muppet.
Besyanteo: Too many use Doman history as a crutch for interesting story.
Arch mage144: But I got better recently.
Arch mage144: Doman history? Recent or ancient?
Besyanteo: ... *looks at Tareen*
Besyanteo: Worst. Game. Ever.
Besyanteo: (WARNING. FF7 FANBOY FIGHT APPROACHING!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Huh?
Besyanteo: (... Maybe.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *CONFUSED*
Besyanteo: Penultimate Quest 7?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Huh?
Besyanteo: "Because you are a muppet?"
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...What are you talking about? o_o
Besyanteo: ... That's an RPG quote. From a really terible game.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: Huh?
Besyanteo: ... forget it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Ooookaaay.
CGNakibe: Hey, it wasn't THAT terrible. Maybe it was a bit overhyped, sure.
Besyanteo: ... Shit graphics, poorly written story, and references to children's TV shows.
Arch mage144: ....
Besyanteo: The nekojin must have been on drugs.
Besyanteo: .... Anyway.
Besyanteo: I was talking about ancient history, yeah.
Arch mage144: IM: Interesting. They can get so passionate about what amounts to an outdated overly complicated way to waste time.
CGNakibe: (Helena IM: Humans, such fragile creatures)
Besyanteo: Lots of them want to run withthe Mallian war recently. And every damn one of them ends with fighting Malachais,
Besyanteo: and they all have the same stupid ending.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh!
TheWaiChibiAngel: I remember that.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Someone pushed him out of a window. It was great.
Besyanteo: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: And I lived with gypsies!
Besyanteo: IM: Oy.
Arch mage144: The... wait.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Until they thought I was the devil and made me leave. ._.
Arch mage144: Wait, when was that?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Uhhh..
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Ticks off fingers*
Besyanteo: What? The Malian war?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Carry the two...
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...A long time ago.
Arch mage144: That was... the.... wait. Thir--Fift---When was that?
Arch mage144: I feel like I should know.
Besyanteo: ... 1314, I think.
Arch mage144: It's on the...the tip of my brain. That...sounds right.
Arch mage144: Little, uh... little before my time.
Arch mage144: IM: If I'm doing my math right, at least.
CGNakibe: Long time ago anyway.
TheWaiChibiAngel: What? I'm the only one who remembers that?
Arch mage144: *to Tareen* It was before I was even born, Tareen.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...So? o_o
Arch mage144: So I wasn't there.
TheWaiChibiAngel: That's no excuse. *Flatly*
Besyanteo: ... You weren't there for the Mallian war.
Besyanteo: *to Tareen*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Yeah I was. o_o
Arch mage144: She probably was, actually.
CGNakibe: How?
Arch mage144: I told you she's older than I am.
CGNakibe: ... .what?
Arch mage144: Is that so hard to believe?
Besyanteo: ....
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm old as dirt! ^^
CGNakibe: ....
CGNakibe: Yes.
Arch mage144: .....
CGNakibe: IM: Though a bit harder in Helena's case... >.>
Besyanteo: Uh.... huh....
Arch mage144: If I were feeling spiteful I'd say something very stupid right now.
CGNakibe: IM: Easier, rather.
Arch mage144: So. I'm not going to.
Arch mage144: But Tareen could have been.
CGNakibe: Hm.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I was!
Besyanteo: So, what, is she a demon or something? I hear they live forever normally.
Arch mage144: They don't.
Besyanteo: *casual now*
Arch mage144: I mean.... they... not any I've known.
Arch mage144: My mother was half-demon.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm a Tareen!
CGNakibe: How many have you known?
Besyanteo: (Far too tempted to have un-restored Jeridan cameo in MAC some time.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Sage nod*
CGNakibe: IM: And with Tareens, there can be ONLY ONE.
CGNakibe: IM: Please?
TheWaiChibiAngel: (JAnda: Aren't you dead? Jeridan: Aren't you? Janda: That's it, it's ON now.)
Arch mage144: I think "I'm a Tareen" is sufficient.
Besyanteo: (=D!)
CGNakibe: (And thus did the fish fight commence)
Arch mage144: If you don't believe anything you hear about Tareen, about whom nothing should be questioned ever....
Arch mage144: I think that you'd have an even tougher time with my case.
CGNakibe: So you say. *shrugs*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (BE RIGHT BACK)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...BE RIGHT BACK! >_<
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Runs*
Besyanteo: ....
Arch mage144: Well.
CGNakibe: That was sudden. o.o
Besyanteo: I believe Tareens are afflicted with the ADD.
Arch mage144: The wonderful thing about Tareens is she's the only one.
CGNakibe: I'm just busy thanking any present dieties for THAT.
Besyanteo: ...
Arch mage144: I think that's a good idea.
Besyanteo: Anyone else hungry?
CGNakibe: Would you be able to handle more than one?
CGNakibe: Yeah, a bit hungry.
Besyanteo: (!)
T3chn0Namagomi has entered the room.
CGNakibe: Not sure if Cecil wouldn't drag me back in here if I left, though.
Besyanteo: (HAY)
CGNakibe: (?!?)
CGNakibe: (ITS THAT GUY)
Arch mage144: (Nama!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Sorry about that. Kinda got caught up in VP2)
Besyanteo: Eh. We can bring you something.
CGNakibe: (We only needed you an hour ago. >:{{{ )
Besyanteo: (Heh)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Sorry...)
Besyanteo: ... Come to think of it *looks at his watch*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Status report?)
Arch mage144: What?
Besyanteo: It's about time for Zeiren to come off watch.
Besyanteo: (Seppo: Bettar!)
Besyanteo: (Oxblood: Made up with, for both of us, as I am lazy,)
Arch mage144: (We're hanging in Serran's room. You missed Helena interrogating them about video games again, along with her discovering how many licks there are to the center of a blowpop.)
Besyanteo: (Serran: Awake!)
Besyanteo: (172)
Besyanteo: (or was it 127?)
CGNakibe: (Subtract 130 from that number. Because its suspicious. >:{)
Arch mage144: (172.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *walking in* Oiiii, I swear...give her one moment and she goes on and on about it forever...
Arch mage144: What?
Besyanteo: Eh? >.>
CGNakibe: What's up, Zei?
Arch mage144: (You also missed the fact that Tareen remembers the Malachian War.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Nanashii.
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: Already don't wanna know.
CGNakibe: Sounds lovely.
blender_bunny@mac.com has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: Best you don't.
T3chn0Namagomi: (GAH. CAT INTERRUPTION)
Besyanteo: ( Kitty sez: )
T3chn0Namagomi: (THE CAT WILL NOT LEAVE ME ALONE)
Arch mage144: IM: I feel like they should know why I'm here. I mean, we have to work together. But at the same time... would knowing endanger them? More importantly... would their knowing...endanger our mission?
T3chn0Namagomi: (Is that Cecil that Brian's playing?)
Arch mage144: (Brian isn't here. I am Kai. See the Helena action?)
CGNakibe: (That's Helena that Ashley is playing)
T3chn0Namagomi: (AH.)
Besyanteo: (I HAS A FLAVOR)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Ashley stole Brian's account again)
CGNakibe: (They have merged into one superbeing)
Besyanteo: We were just talking about getting some lunch.
Arch mage144: (Yes. We're watching Shaun of the Dead, and I'm on his laptop because he doesn't actually care about RP right now. Movie is good.)
Besyanteo: And grabbing something for Serran, so mother hen Cecil doesn't pop a vein.
T3chn0Namagomi: Heh. You mean that stuff out there? Reminds me of the stuff when I was first sent into the military.
Besyanteo: Better than going hungry.
Arch mage144: (Cecil: *sneezes*)
Arch mage144: Zeiren, how long have you been in some variety of military service?
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah. The trick's to eat it as fast as possible. Then you won't suffer for so long. Oh, and never eat the cheese--hm?
T3chn0Namagomi: Ever since my father felt it was a good idea to send me into infantry. It's a funny story how I got into MAC, though.
T3chn0Namagomi: Why do you ask?
Arch mage144: I don't know. It's nothing.
T3chn0Namagomi: Huh
Arch mage144: I just wanted to know more about people, that's all. For curiosity's sake.
T3chn0Namagomi: I...don't really remember by now.
T3chn0Namagomi: Two years, I think.
T3chn0Namagomi: One and three quarters if you don't count the short stint in infantry.
Arch mage144: Hm.
CGNakibe has left the room.
Arch mage144: IM: Time passes so quickly for them. Everything goes so fast. Did I notice that when ...best not to think about it too hard.
T3chn0Namagomi: For the count? Stay out of infantry. I mean it. *chuckles*
Arch mage144: I don't think I could be forced into it, but I'll remember that.
Besyanteo: ( :-( )
Arch mage144: (I IMed Shaun, but haven't gotten a response and he's out of the main chat as well.)
Besyanteo: (He's offline)
Arch mage144: (Wow. He is now, you're right.)
Arch mage144: (Brian's AIM doesn't have the little popping alert things.)
Besyanteo: (Probably lost to an AIM fumble)
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh, uh...I know this is probably out of nowhere, Helena, but...what do you think of MAC now anyway, given that you've been in it for a while?
Arch mage144: (How long d'you propose we pause? That answers that then.)
Arch mage144: I...well....
Arch mage144: It's different.
Arch mage144: I think... well, that answer requires a lot of explanation and I don't know how much time for that we've got.
Arch mage144: *shrugs*
T3chn0Namagomi: I see...
Arch mage144: Anyway. Um. Food?
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah, why not?
CGNakibe has entered the room.
Arch mage144: (Hey Shaun.)
CGNakibe: (Back I am.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (SAME PLACE?)
CGNakibe: (What happened after Zeiren complaining about Nanashii?)
Arch mage144: (I can update you.)
CGNakibe: (Update is very yes.)
Besyanteo: (YAES)
Besyanteo: (Same place.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *ZING*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *LOOK WHO'S BAC*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Sorry, I forgot to let the dog in.
Arch mage144: I'm....what?
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: I'm going to the cafeteria now.
Besyanteo: *starts walking*
Arch mage144: *follows*
CGNakibe: O...kaay...
CGNakibe: Later folks.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Hey, wait for me!
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks alongside Helena*
Arch mage144: Serran, I'll bring you something good!
TheWaiChibiAngel: How can you leave me behind?! I, who loved you all!
Arch mage144: IM: He should have let me heal him again. Then he could get up out of that damned bed. Lying there like a corpse.
Arch mage144: IM: Even sleeping is a little alarming still. Why would you want to ...lie there like that?
CGNakibe: That's good.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I'm sad nobody got that. :-( )
Besyanteo: (Sorry.)
Arch mage144: (Sorry.)
Besyanteo: *At the cafeteria! ... Eh, let's say pizza. Because it's easy to say!*
Arch mage144: *to Zeiren* So why did your father want you to be in the military?
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
Arch mage144: (Helena likes pizza.)
T3chn0Namagomi: My guess is that he wanted me out of the house. I could see why on that. My mother is...for lack of a better word...active...and as a result of that and her spending habits, well...
Arch mage144: Uh huh.
T3chn0Namagomi: Not too good of a budget plus a lot of siblings.
Besyanteo: *Gets himself a tray put together and sits!*
Arch mage144: *grabs some pizza with sausage and green peppers because THAT'S what she likes*
T3chn0Namagomi: *grabs some with pepperoni*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..How come Tareen never gets pizza? All she ever gets is third-person-speaking-privelages.
Arch mage144: ....Tareen are you hungry?
Besyanteo: *He seems to be... a sausage, mushroom and black olives guy*
Arch mage144: I can cast something on you if you like.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Nod nod*
Besyanteo: (Formulating magical pizza would be hillarious.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Please!
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 1 5
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Hakaril could do it.)
Besyanteo: (Likely.)
Besyanteo: (But would Tareen become a salmon after she ate it?)
Arch mage144: (Lend health. Healing college. Costs 3 FT. Ordinary people would get three temporary HP. Just a snack.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Mmm, creamy.
Arch mage144: Yeah. Uh.... glad to help.
Besyanteo: *munch*
Besyanteo: So... Tareens don't eat solid food? *doesn't sound particularly off put*
Besyanteo: (put off. ... hurr.)
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: It still strikes me as just a tad weird that she eats magic...but given the rest of her, that almost seems...normal.
Besyanteo: (The hell am I so tired for suddenly?)
Arch mage144: *sits down and veritably inhales a slice of pizza*
Arch mage144: Pizza, I like.
T3chn0Namagomi: >_> I'll say.
Besyanteo: And you thought it was going to be terrible.
T3chn0Namagomi: I guess they put in better facilities
Besyanteo: I think I've got next watch... In about 20 minutes.
T3chn0Namagomi: Heh. Good luck, man.
Besyanteo: *eats faster*
T3chn0Namagomi: *takes a bite out of his pizza*
TheWaiChibiAngel: No!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Tareens eat magic.
TheWaiChibiAngel: MOuthfood makes me puke.
Besyanteo: Eh. Sorry to hear that.
Arch mage144: Well, Tareen. I guess that's why I'm here.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Sorry for what?
Besyanteo: Don't elementals do the same thing, though?
Arch mage144: To see that you get your job back and to feed you.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Mouthfood? o.o;
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...I dunno. o_o
Besyanteo: eatm agic that is.
Besyanteo: (eat magic*)
Besyanteo: *he finshes, and brushes off his hands* Gotta go. Seeya later guys.
Arch mage144: See you around.
Besyanteo: *And... he heads off!*
Besyanteo: (Dishes, yes. *lurk*)
T3chn0Namagomi: *eats more pizza,* See you. Hopefully we won't have to go out to fight more of those, as Nanashii calls them, Squidfucks.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Huh?
Arch mage144: Nanashii is right.
Arch mage144: Tell her I said so.
T3chn0Namagomi: *chuckles*
Arch mage144: IM: I know that Tareen is only so open about herself because she doesn't know any better. But she doesn't seem to be having any ill effects from it. I mean, the others still think she's strange, but only because of her behavior.
T3chn0Namagomi: Another thing for her to get more pompous over. I just hope she doesn't start becoming mopey if anything ever happens to her.
Arch mage144: IM: If I, theoretically, were to tell the others why I'm here and how I got to this place, would it be more dangerous?
Arch mage144: *absently* She seems like she can take care of herself.
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah. Never seen a more egomaniacal symbiote.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...She might even be worse than Makura, come to think of it.
Arch mage144: Makura has never bothered me. Maybe I don't know him well enough.
Arch mage144: The longest conversation we had was on a landing in SentanCorp.
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh. He gets on others' nerves a bit more than mine.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Sentai Corp.
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
T3chn0Namagomi: (She said "sentai")
Arch mage144: *eats more pizza* I have to say. I do respect that he had absolutely no trust in me when I got here. In his position I'd have felt the same way.
TheWaiChibiAngel: What's his position?
T3chn0Namagomi: Arrogant person that few others like.
Arch mage144: His position is someone who wasn't allowed to know anything about a strange older woman showing up on his team.
Arch mage144: And it's a reasonable one. Or was.
T3chn0Namagomi: Was being the operative term here.
Arch mage144: *shrug* Good to hear, I guess.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Should I? ...naah.
Arch mage144: *eats*
Arch mage144: I would like to say, for the record....
Arch mage144: That I'm sorry I can't tell you guys a lot of things.
T3chn0Namagomi: *continues eating--but then stops* Hm?
Arch mage144: It would be nice if I could be Tareen and just blather on all the time about everything. But I can't.
Arch mage144: And I apologize.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hey. Just about everyone has things that they don't want to talk about.
TheWaiChibiAngel: What's wrong with being Tareen?
Arch mage144: It's not that I don't want to, Zeiren.
T3chn0Namagomi: Don't worry about it. *placing a hand on her shoulder*
Arch mage144: *sigh*
Arch mage144: IM: I'm allowing a seventeen year old half demon mortal boy talk to me like that.
Arch mage144: *shrugs him off* It's fine.
T3chn0Namagomi: Wait, err, you mean you can't tell some things? I guess it's one of those high-ranked classified deals or somesuch...
Arch mage144: You have no idea.
CGNakibe: (This one goes all the way to the top)
Arch mage144: (It does.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..But she's, like, the same rank...
Arch mage144: I'm the same rank as you all are. But that doesn't mean I get to choose what to tell you and what I don't get to.
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o
Arch mage144: But at least I'm apologizing.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Sorry for prying.
Arch mage144: You didn't.
Arch mage144: *goes to grab another slice of pizza in the resulting silence*
Arch mage144: IM: Why am I feeling so conflicted about this? Why the hell would it matter what they know and what they don't? What good could it do?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hey...
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Am I really creepy, Zeiren?
T3chn0Namagomi: Not really. <_<
Arch mage144: (Not compared to Hel!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: I didn't think so.
T3chn0Namagomi: *eats more of his pizza*
Arch mage144: (BRB loo.)
Arch mage144: (Back. I've plainly missed a lot.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...What's that like, anyway?
T3chn0Namagomi: What's what like?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Indicates pizza!*
Arch mage144: Can you smell?
Arch mage144: Because it's like that with texture.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I don't smell!
TheWaiChibiAngel: You smell!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Smelly.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Arch mage144: ....Right.
T3chn0Namagomi: *sweatdrop, eats his pizza*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Smellsworthy.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...*Snort*
TheWaiChibiAngel: PUdding.
Arch mage144: *smiles*
T3chn0Namagomi: Heh.
Arch mage144: Yes. Yes, we know.
T3chn0Namagomi: You like pudding.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Pudding is the best.
Arch mage144: It's certainly up there. I tried butterscotch the other day, and I liked it.
Arch mage144: Though when it gets hot, the container explodes.
Arch mage144: It was surprising.
Arch mage144: *finishes her pizza*
CGNakibe: (In a tragic twist of fate, Zeiren's next girlfriend will have nightmares)
CGNakibe: (Owing to the Pudding Rebellion of 3112)
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah...they kind of explode when they get hot...
CGNakibe: (Tareen will, of course, have to give her a gift sometime)
T3chn0Namagomi: So...hmm...
CGNakibe: (And yes, totally random)
TheWaiChibiAngel has left the room.
Arch mage144: (Lost Shini.)
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...damn...
Arch mage144: So I'm getting better at noticing these things.
Arch mage144: And it seems to me like as soon as I mentioned something relevant, the talking stopped.
Arch mage144: Am I correct?
CGNakibe: (Also: getting moderately late, and I'm more than moderately sleepy.)
CGNakibe: (Night folks.)
Arch mage144: (G'night, Shaun. Much love.)
CGNakibe has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah...it sounds like it. *sounds slightly...distracted*
Arch mage144: You all right? Or did I break you?
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh, I'm fine.
Arch mage144: You sound like Tareen does when she's thinking about pudding.
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o; No, really, I'm fine.
Arch mage144: You are lying.
T3chn0Namagomi: Seriously, I'm okay, Helena.
Arch mage144: All right.
Arch mage144: Look. *stands and steps away from her chair*
Arch mage144: When I first got here, I know you only talked to me because I'm a woman and you...you do that.
Arch mage144: But you were still the only one who would. I owe you one for that. I think it's helping.
Arch mage144: *licks sauce off of her thumb* So yeah.
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o
T3chn0Namagomi: Err, you're welcome, I guess. o.o;
Arch mage144: I don't know why I'm talking like this. I just.... I have a really bad feeling.
T3chn0Namagomi: About...?
Arch mage144: I don't know. I just.... something... it's just a bad feeling. They're not what they used to be, but they're mine and I trust them.
Arch mage144: IM: Why were they encouraging me? Why did that reaper say that to me? What's going to happen that they aren't telling me about?
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah, I'll be careful. Oh, and...and, sorry. I guess I was lying, in a way. Thing is, it's one of those things I don't feel it's okay to talk about.
Arch mage144: *smirk* I see. Well.... if it makes you feel better... here. C'mere a second.
Arch mage144: *waves him over a corner where people won't listen in* C'mere.
T3chn0Namagomi: Err, okay... o.o *follows over*
Arch mage144: Okay. Here's what I've learned. People need to talk about things, because you've only got so much time before you die, and when you die t all goes with you. Taking things like that with you?
Arch mage144: It's how people end up ghosts.
Arch mage144: So here's the deal.
T3chn0Namagomi: Huh?
Arch mage144: Nothing you say will shock me or make me think less of you. And if you're really that worried, for everything you tell me, I'll tell you something more outrageous but true about ...me. How I got here.
T3chn0Namagomi: I...really don't think the former of that statement is completely true...
Arch mage144: Correct me. *head tilt*
Arch mage144: IM: How do I get these people to talk? How am I supposed to be one of them if I can't figure out what they're like?
T3chn0Namagomi: I mean...err, I really do think you'd end up at least thinking of me REALLY differently if I told you... o_o;
Arch mage144: .....*grins....and then laughs*
Arch mage144: Sorry. No, sorry. I'm not laughing at you.
Arch mage144: But I have good reason to believe that I can match anything you tell me. So it's more of a risk for me than for you.
T3chn0Namagomi: So...you really do want me to tell you...
Arch mage144: IM: I need to know things.
Arch mage144: Sure.
Arch mage144: Why wouldn't I?
T3chn0Namagomi: I guess, well...err...how do I put this...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Damnit...
T3chn0Namagomi: Err, well...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: And yet she insists I tell her...
Arch mage144: (Backstory rape. At all bloody costs.)
Arch mage144: (This is what you GET, Nama.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *and then Zeiren...KISSES Helena. On the lips.*
Arch mage144: o_O
Arch mage144: *allows it*
Arch mage144: IM: That was NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...I'm so dead...
T3chn0Namagomi: *turns away* Sorry...
Arch mage144: ..........Why did you do that?
T3chn0Namagomi: It's...really hard to explain...just...sorry. I shouldn't have done that...
Arch mage144: It doesn't bother me. I'm not offended.
Arch mage144: But I'm curious. Why?
Arch mage144: I feel it's important that I know why.
T3chn0Namagomi: Well...
Arch mage144: (That is NOT what she nor I were expecting. That is the single most shocking thing any character of yours has ever done.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Zeiren gets WTF points!)
Arch mage144: (Yeah, he does.)
T3chn0Namagomi: I...really don't know why. I can't seem to get you out of my head. I...
T3chn0Namagomi: ...nevermind. *turns and starts to walk away*
Arch mage144: *sighs*
Arch mage144: Zeiren, get your ass back here.
Arch mage144: Lord.
Arch mage144: *follows*
T3chn0Namagomi: *stops, turns*
Arch mage144: Okay. We need to talk somewhere where I can't be overheard. There ....*sigh* Okay. Yeah.
Arch mage144: Don't get weird ideas, but we're going to my room.
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o;
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...Eep...
Arch mage144: All right? Yes or no.
T3chn0Namagomi: Err...okay...
Arch mage144: *presses a palm to her forehead and heads off at a fast walk*
Arch mage144: IM: Damn it. Zea why are you even doing this?
T3chn0Namagomi: *follows*
Arch mage144: *opens her door and holds it for him*
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks in*
Arch mage144: *shuts the door quickly* All right. Look. Can you keep a secret? Can you know a thing and never ever say anything about it again?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Okay...
Arch mage144: Say yes or no.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Yes.
Arch mage144: *sighs again*
Arch mage144: I'm so stupid.
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o ?
Arch mage144: *lays her hands on his shoulders* You cannot get attached to me like that. You... I don't have any idea how to explain to you how badly that could end up.
T3chn0Namagomi: I...fucked up, didn't I?
Arch mage144: No.
PapatymisonN has entered the room.
Arch mage144: What I'm going to say is going to sound patently absurd, but you have to know it or you'll have problems.
PapatymisonN: (... I like robots. O.O)
Arch mage144: (Hey Charles. You missed crazy shit. Nama, could you send him a log?)
Arch mage144: (I'm not on my computer or I would. =/ )
PapatymisonN: (If this was MAC, someone stab me now.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (It was MAC, yes)
Arch mage144: (It is MAC still. But it's effectively a one-on-one RP now.)
PapatymisonN: (... so where's my knife between my shoulderblades? ;_; )
Arch mage144: (*stabs*)
PapatymisonN: (*sigh of relief* Thanks.)
Arch mage144: (Anyway. Back to OMG drama.)
Arch mage144: So you should feel free to think I'm crazy or not believe me. But I'm telling you it's true and that's all I can do.
PapatymisonN: (Who's here? Makura and Zeiren?)
Arch mage144: (No. Helena and Zeiren. They're in her room.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (This is Ashley on Brian's account)
Arch mage144: (Oh, I forgot. Yeah, I am.)
PapatymisonN: (Yes you are.)
PapatymisonN: (... how long till the sex?)
Arch mage144: (Hush you.)
Arch mage144: Zeiren. I know it won't spook you to hear that I'm not human, because you're not human, not totally.
Arch mage144: I mean, I can see that much.
Arch mage144: But I'm really really not human.
Arch mage144: If this information gets you in trouble, I'm sorry. This is why you can't tell anyone what you know.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I see...what do you mean by "really really not human?"
Arch mage144: *keeps her hands on his shoulders* I am nearly eighteen hundred years old by my last reckoning.
Arch mage144: Is that a start?
KnightsofSquare: (She's a hippo)
Arch mage144: (She's an ROUS in disguise.)
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o Err...yes.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...that would be a huge start...
Arch mage144: Tareen is still older than I am, so this is not the important piece of information.
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o;
Arch mage144: I've always been a necromancer, at least, by all records I've found. I don't remember a lot.
Arch mage144: At one point I was a reaper in the service of Reshtaha.
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o; You're...serious...?
Arch mage144: It's why I know the things I do about death. Do you still believe me? Or should I quit while you still think I might be sane?
T3chn0Namagomi: I...believe you...
Arch mage144: Then... I also need to refresh your memory about something.
Arch mage144: Don't uh... don't panic. I don't feel this like you do.
Arch mage144: *Helena activates her scythe, the blade springing forth from the staff, made of light just as Zeiren has seen it before*
Arch mage144: *She GRABS the end of it, grimacing at how awesome THAT feels*
T3chn0Namagomi: O.<
Arch mage144: *she pulls her hand away, her palm covered in a long and deep black burn*
Arch mage144: Ow.
Arch mage144: *she holds her palm out to Zeiren* Watch.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...you...just...
Arch mage144: Yes, I did.
Arch mage144: You've seen worse, so don't look so shocked.
Arch mage144: *the skin starts lightening under the burn, and the sides of it begin to close* It's healing. Do you know why? Do you know what I have been?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...that...fast? I don't really know...but I know that explains how you were out of the medical ward so quickly...
Arch mage144: It does. I didn't even know my body did this until I was so badly injured.
Arch mage144: I hadn't been in my body long enough to know.
KnightsofSquare: (Invasion of the Bodysnatchers)
Arch mage144: Zeiren? This is kind of important.
T3chn0Namagomi: Huh? I...don't know why you are...I guess it has something to do with the reaper thing you mentioned, but...
Arch mage144: *mutters* How do you people do this crap....
Arch mage144: Zeiren. *looks down at her now-healed palm* Zeiren, before I came here, and I do mean right up until I got here....
Arch mage144: I was the highest ranking celestial in the service of Reshtaha.
Arch mage144: Okay?
T3chn0Namagomi: O_@...Uh...yeah.
Arch mage144: *sinks down into the chair by her desk*
Arch mage144: Are you all right? Do you need to sit down?
T3chn0Namagomi: No...I'm pretty sure I'm fine...
Arch mage144: I told you you can't have feelings for me. I don't know what's going to happen to me after this is done.
Arch mage144: But I can't have your feelings at stake on top of everything else.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: I can't exactly choose suddenly not to feel like this, you know.
Arch mage144: Well, why the hell not?
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< Let me think of a parallel example here...
T3chn0Namagomi: When you first heard about the bullshit Sentancorp's been pulling, did you choose to feel downright angry at them?
Arch mage144: ....it was in my nature to care. I... have been the right hand of death for so long that I have no choice but to care.
Arch mage144: This is different.
T3chn0Namagomi: No, it's not. Feelings and emotions can't be controlled, regardless.
Arch mage144: Yes, they can! And you'll have to! This.... this makes no sense! You don't even know me!
Arch mage144: Or didn't...
Arch mage144: *sigh*
T3chn0Namagomi: *sigh* ...sorry.
T3chn0Namagomi: Maybe I should go.
Arch mage144: No.
Arch mage144: No, I need to know that you understand.
Besyanteo: (BAcklogged!)
Arch mage144: I didn't come here because I wanted to. I was sent here. I....
Arch mage144: I...
Arch mage144: *sighs and stares down at her hands* By any other standard....
Arch mage144: With any other deity....
Arch mage144: You would have to say that I... I fell.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Arch mage144: *continues staring down*
Arch mage144: Do you know what that means?
Arch mage144: Do you know what it is... to be.... to be almost....
Arch mage144: To be almost a part of your god... and then to be cast down like that?
Arch mage144: *looks up* I don't know what's going to happen to me after this. I don't know if this is my life now, or if this is a chance to get my old life back.
T3chn0Namagomi: I...can't...really comprehend at all...
T3chn0Namagomi: I...
T3chn0Namagomi: *is obviously at a loss for words*
Arch mage144: I am not. Like. You.
Arch mage144: I'm sorry.
KnightsofSquare: (It makes some weird sense for a fallen avatar of death to be difficult to kill)
PapatymisonN: (But not impossible.)
Arch mage144: (Koss: Every time she gets close, Resh just vetoes. She's not done with her job yet.)
Arch mage144: (Hence regeneration.)
Besyanteo: (I dunno; She took 2000 laser damage to the everything.)
KnightsofSquare: (Awesome)
Besyanteo: (in a system where high HP is 10.)
Arch mage144: (Bes is right. That really ought to do it.)
Besyanteo: (or something like that.)
KnightsofSquare: (She got better.)
Besyanteo: (I said that too! =D)
T3chn0Namagomi: (More like 850 plasma damage to the everything, but the point still stands)
Besyanteo: (Bah)
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Arch mage144: I... I'm sorry.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...don't be...I...brought it up, remember?
Besyanteo: (Quick, while she's stuned herself, ask her to bear your children!)
Arch mage144: Yes, but... I have no idea what I've done to cause this. Something. I don't know. I'm not good enough at this yet.
Arch mage144: I have not been mortal for a very very long time. I've forgotten everything.
Arch mage144: So I'm sorry for whatever I did to cause this.
T3chn0Namagomi: It's my fault. I...felt that way...
Arch mage144: I have to ask. Why?
Arch mage144: Why me?
T3chn0Namagomi: I...I really don't know at all.
Arch mage144: IM: Not good enough. What have I missed.
Arch mage144: IM: I've missed something of immense importance. I need to know.
PapatymisonN: (Here if you need me.)
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm...going to leave now. Maybe I should request a transfer or something once this digging mission is over with...
Arch mage144: Don't. For all I know, as soon as we succeed, as soon as this is right again... I'll cease to exist. As a mortal anyway.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
KnightsofSquare: (Don't leave! I might mysteriously vanish into thin air!)
Arch mage144: (Classic feminine excuse.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *heads for the door*
Arch mage144: Damn you, Zeiren.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Arch mage144: *rushes forward and stands in front of it* You cannot act like a child right now.
PapatymisonN: (Oxblood: FINALLY! SHE GETS IT!)
Arch mage144: You can't just leave. You can't just.... I don't know.
KnightsofSquare: (I'm warning you, stay away from me. Please, don't go.)
Arch mage144: We need to fucking resolve this, and you need to do something about it that doesn't jeopardize our mission.
Besyanteo: (Hey, there's movies titled as such things right now.)
T3chn0Namagomi: I...don't know either. All I really seem to know is that the only person I've felt this way about is likely going to disappear into nothingness once this is over.
Besyanteo: ("I love you- DON'T TOUCH ME")
Arch mage144: I don't know. It's a possibility.
Besyanteo: (On the mystery channel. Didn't watch.)
Arch mage144: I may return to what I was, I may be forced to stay here. It all depends on what Reshtaha defines as 'redemption' if we succeed.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Also, it's "DON'T TRANSFER! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO SEEMS TO DO DAMAGE 80% of the time!" XP)
Arch mage144: (Well, yuh.)
KnightsofSquare: (I'm sure Helena will be redeemed...)
Arch mage144: If you're here, if you're on this squad, you're here because you're meant to be.
Besyanteo: (And for your trouble, you are your own mecha's bitch. =P)
KnightsofSquare: (...for valuable prizes at the ticket counter!)
Arch mage144: We all are. Don't fuck it up.
Arch mage144: What's happening right now, what SentanCorp is doing to mortal souls... it's more important than anything else. I can't worry about anything else because of what I am.
Arch mage144: Do you understand?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...would you be happy if you did reascend?
Arch mage144: ...I don't know. But what else can I do? Live a normal life? Do you know how ridiculous and impossible that is?
KnightsofSquare: (Normal is what everyone else is and you are not)
T3chn0Namagomi: v_v
Arch mage144: What else is there? What do you want? Sure. I could pursue this as long as this mission is ongoing.
Arch mage144: Explore my humanity. Sleep with you, spend time with you. All that.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Arch mage144: But I don't know why.
Arch mage144: Because I cannot understand the things you people feel anymore.
Arch mage144: I'm just... not like you.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Sorry...this was my fault to begin with...
Arch mage144: Please don't tell the others. About me.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I won't.
T3chn0Namagomi: Just...at least do one thing...
T3chn0Namagomi: Try to at least enjoy whichever fate is handed to you...it's the least you could do.
Arch mage144: ......*nods* I will.
T3chn0Namagomi: I don't want you disappearing into semidivinity and you just being miserable about it. Then what would this whole thing have been worth?
Arch mage144: *dry laugh* This isn't about me. But I'll remember what you said.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...No obligation is worth it if it carries misery...
Arch mage144: *smirks* You think like a mortal. But it's an opinion I'll consider.
T3chn0Namagomi: That's what I learned from my three-month stay in the infantry division.
Arch mage144: Even if I don't choose to do things your way... I'll remember your request. For a very long time.
Arch mage144: I can promise that.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Want to know how I managed to land here in MAC?
Arch mage144: Sure.
T3chn0Namagomi: See, as I said, I was in the Infantry. I was fucking miserable, what with getting yelled at by some instructor, and constantly doing drills. So, one day, I pretty much snapped. Don't know why I did what I did.
Arch mage144: *head tilt*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I pretty much breached each and every single level of protocol, and hit on the female officer overseeing stuff. I guess this pissed her off to no end, because she left saying she had to do some paperwork.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I was sure I was going to just get thrown out for sure.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...somehow, I ended up in MAC instead. I don't know how, I don't know why.
Arch mage144: *nod*
T3chn0Namagomi: (For those who read the backstory, it was an error in the systems)
Arch mage144: (I did.)
T3chn0Namagomi: You're the second one I've ever told this to.
T3chn0Namagomi: So...yeah.
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh. Nevermind.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Hn. Stop RP here?)
Lithaladhwen: What? I tell you I'm a centuries-old archangel of death, and I don't even get to know howyou joined the military?
Lithaladhwen: (Hell no, bitch. =P )
T3chn0Namagomi: (XP)
Besyanteo: (Ha ha.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, I told you the part about my father sending me.
T3chn0Namagomi: But, again, I somehow got landed in MAC. I was, how do you say, WAY different then than I am now.
T3chn0Namagomi: Were it not for my roommate at the time, I probably would've just been some antisocial recluse who sat in his room all the time until they had half a mind to kick me out of there, too.
Arch mage144: *nods*
T3chn0Namagomi: It was a blur from then on out. Eventually, I somehow managed to substitute, given, against his wishes, for Ayr in a major sim-test...
T3chn0Namagomi: Mainly since he was sick and all. He told me not to intervene on his behalf, but...heh. That was actually the first time I dealt with Nanashii.
Arch mage144: Ah.
T3chn0Namagomi: See, he had two A2s.
T3chn0Namagomi: His own personal one, and a second one dropped off on him by somebody who didn't want it--and he himself never used it.
T3chn0Namagomi: The second one is my personal A2 now.
Arch mage144: I see. I can imagine they'd have trouble...negotiating with her.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hell, half the time she's a pain for me to deal with.
T3chn0Namagomi: I've heard stories about how she managed to get a few pilots, including the one who commissioned it, killed.
Arch mage144: I see.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hell. It's odd. I have a hard time telling if he was irate with me, or just glad that he could give that A2 to someone with the knowledge that it would actually be used.
Arch mage144: *cracks a smile* Really.
T3chn0Namagomi: Then, I got transferred over to station D, and then all this stuff happened. *smirks*
Arch mage144: That's a lot of coincidences.
T3chn0Namagomi: Sounds like it, doesn't it?
Arch mage144: But you know?
T3chn0Namagomi: Hm?
Arch mage144: You work long enough and hard enough with a deity who trusts you... you stop believing in coincidence.
Arch mage144: If we succeed, we'll have done something relevant. Something essential and necessary to the balance of life and death in this world.
Arch mage144: I hope you know that, and I want you to know I don't think you're involvement....
Arch mage144: Is coincidental.
Arch mage144: *your
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o If you don't believe in chance and coincidence, then what do you believe is the cause?
Arch mage144: (Booze affects my grammar.)
Besyanteo: (Hel: Now those stupid orcs, on the other hand...)
Arch mage144: I believe that we are here, all of us, for a reason.
PapatymisonN: (Reshtaha: Huh? Oh. Yeah, just put all the names in one of those spinning barrels and pick names, whatever...)
Arch mage144: I know about fate. I know about the endless machine that drives everything and everyone from birth to death.
Arch mage144: And nothing in that machine is an accident.
Arch mage144: Do you think you're here by accident? Can you honestly say with what you know now about me....
Arch mage144: That you don't think... something else is involved?
Besyanteo: (Hel: ... Well, Ash Fanrico maybe.)
T3chn0Namagomi: ...You know, had you said this any time before now, I wouldn't have believed you.
Arch mage144: And now?
T3chn0Namagomi: I really don't have any other choice but to, it seems.
Arch mage144: I'll remember your words if you remember mine, Zeiren.
Arch mage144: I'll consider what you've said.
T3chn0Namagomi: I mean...that many "coincidences" in my lifetime...
T3chn0Namagomi: ...when you mentioned THAT, that's the first time it sounded weird.
Arch mage144: Listen.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...It must have been something roughly equivalent to fate.
Arch mage144: Yes! Whatever happens to me, whatever happens with this mission, try and remember that it's not random, and that there are reasons.
Besyanteo: (Redford: ... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.)
PapatymisonN: (Resh: Shush you, or you'll get transferred.)
OMG Priam: (Redford: I'm glad those fish have something to munch on. 9_9 )
PapatymisonN: (... to the MAIL ROOM.)
Arch mage144: (Ew. The mail room sucks.)
PapatymisonN: (It really does.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *nods*
T3chn0Namagomi: Now, err...maybe we should get out of your room before anyone suspects anything...
Arch mage144: Yeah. *nods* I think... I think that's all I needed you to know. Are you going to be all right?
T3chn0Namagomi: As much as I can be. If it happens, it happens.
Besyanteo: (Sorry kids, longer than three minutes. There are officially rumors of those too shacking up. =D)
Arch mage144: (Heheh.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yep)
PapatymisonN: (... Pretty much, yeah.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...dear god, I could imagine it, too)
OMG Priam: (MAC: Like high school, only with bigger weapons!)
PapatymisonN: (I suspect Zea's annoying-ass roommate will know by the time she gets back to the room...)
Besyanteo: (=D!)
Arch mage144: All right. Take care of yourself, Zeiren. I don't want to worry about you, all right? I'm too old. You'll make me go grey.
Arch mage144: (Zea's roommate is not in the undersea base because I decided Tara was awful.)
PapatymisonN: (Right. Forgot.)
T3chn0Namagomi: ...You're 1800-something and haven't gone gray yet, you know.
PapatymisonN: (It spread to the main base.)
Arch mage144: I'm under a lot of stress right now.
Arch mage144: And I'm only....
T3chn0Namagomi: Sorry for adding to that...
Arch mage144: What year is it?
T3chn0Namagomi: (I keep forgetting)
PapatymisonN: (3092.)
T3chn0Namagomi: 3092.
Arch mage144: (In AD 3092. War was beginning.)
Arch mage144: Okay. I'm one thousand seven hundred seventy years old.
Besyanteo: (Can't she just start refering to herself as "OLD! OLD! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD! >_<"?)
Arch mage144: So not quite eighteen hundred.
Arch mage144: I was born in 1322, last I checked.
T3chn0Namagomi: Close enough...and again, sorry for adding to that stress.
Arch mage144: Don't worry about it. Just don't tell Tareen. It'll get mixed in with some rant about pudding and everyone will be very confused.
T3chn0Namagomi: Indeed.
Arch mage144: And...the others don't need to know either. It might be dangerous. Someone higher up knows about me.
Arch mage144: Someone got me an ID and a place in your squad.
T3chn0Namagomi: The last thing we need is 1770-year old death pudding. Or something like that.
T3chn0Namagomi: And...yeah. I'm not telling anyone
PapatymisonN: (Reshtaha: *watching Happy Days*)
Arch mage144: So... just... keep your head about you. Nobody else needs to know.
Arch mage144: Thanks.
Arch mage144: I'll see you on the field the next time something awful happens, I guess.
Besyanteo: (The Fonz: Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!)
Besyanteo: (Resh: ... That is so my new prayer opener for my followers.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Hey. I'm an ace now, you know. I doubt something awful's going to happen that soon.
T3chn0Namagomi: Not to me, anyway. *snrks*
Arch mage144: *smirk* Do your best.
Arch mage144: I think I... need some time to think about things. Just take care.
Arch mage144: And I'll see you later.
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah.
T3chn0Namagomi: Now, err...the door?
Arch mage144: *moves aside*
T3chn0Namagomi: Thanks.
T3chn0Namagomi: *and Zeiren exits Helena's room, yes.*
Arch mage144: *He can do that.*
Arch mage144: *As soon as he's gone....*
PapatymisonN: (*puts a hand over his mouth*)
Arch mage144: *Helena tears open her closet door, opening the single trunk containing her possessions from MAC Igala D.*
Besyanteo: (Hel: Reporting to Sentan. Yes, they are that gullible.)
Arch mage144: *She pulls out several oil paintings and throws them onto the floor. Paintings of a man with strange-colored hair. A man she doesn't remember with a grin she doesn't understand.*
Arch mage144: *She lights her scythe and she destroys them all.*
Arch mage144: </Helena>
T3chn0Namagomi: </Zeiren>
OMG Priam: Nooooo, the Mona Lister!
Arch mage144: </RP>
Arch mage144: So there.
Arch mage144: Now someone knows.
OMG Priam: GASP OF SHOCK.
Arch mage144: Now there are no more spoilers. Not...not for her.
PapatymisonN: *glad*
T3chn0Namagomi: Incidentally, Zeiren has strange colored hair.
T3chn0Namagomi: Black with ice-blue streaks. XP
PapatymisonN: So does Ichigo.
KnightsofSquare: Ah
KnightsofSquare: Now he knows everything
Arch mage144: So do a lot of people.
KnightsofSquare: Now there are no more secrets.
Arch mage144: Koss: ^_^
Besyanteo: SADLY
Arch mage144: You made the reference that makes me happiest.
Besyanteo: *bites people. Cuz.*
T3chn0Namagomi: OW
Arch mage144: Okay, Nama.
KnightsofSquare: Well, this makes me sad
Arch mage144: Now we're done. Now the RP can end.
Arch mage144: =P
T3chn0Namagomi: XP
KnightsofSquare: I've apparently lost a story I wrote back in the day
KnightsofSquare: I think I may have it on an unlabeled cd somewhere, though -.-
T3chn0Namagomi: And...jeez. You know how some RPs can actually be emotionally trying on the players? This was actually one of them. XD
Besyanteo: Depends on the player. =P
Arch mage144: Nama: S'how you know you've done it right.
Arch mage144: I enjoyed this a lot.
Besyanteo: Although I like to think that I've had my moments.
Arch mage144: Hel hasn't actually been under any stress yet. She damn well is now.
Arch mage144: Anyway, thanks for a great RP, Nama.
Arch mage144: I'm glad we did this.
Arch mage144: It was keen.
T3chn0Namagomi: 'twas
T3chn0Namagomi: It requires logging.
Arch mage144: It does.
OMG Priam has left the room.
Arch mage144: Even more than usual.
KnightsofSquare: Oo, I found my MST3k of Gamera CD
KnightsofSquare: Not what I was looking for, but neat
Arch mage144: I also....think that I require sleep.
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm in an overtired state
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm so tired that I don't feel tired anymore.
Arch mage144: Much love to all involved. I go now back to my own computer to log the RP.
Arch mage144: Again. Thanks for much unexpected grooviness, Nama.
T3chn0Namagomi: XD
Besyanteo: Hee.
Arch mage144: It never fucking occurred to me that he had been IM tagging about Hel all this time.
Arch mage144: I mean, I had a dream that he was.
Arch mage144: But dreams about Hel are weird.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hell. I didn't expect that he would either, but...
Arch mage144: Dreams about Hel more often than not involve mental illness.
Arch mage144: So I don't trust them.
Arch mage144: As a result, that totally threw me.
KnightsofSquare: YUS
KnightsofSquare: PUMA MAN
Besyanteo: My RPGWW dreams are never about the characters.
T3chn0Namagomi: XD
Besyanteo: Also: Ha ha, puma man.
T3chn0Namagomi: I get points for throwing Kai for a total 180
Arch mage144: Yeah. It doesn't happen often.
KnightsofSquare: Come on, if I can find my old MST3k cds, one of these has to be my backu--YUS
KnightsofSquare: I'm pretty sure my backup CD is the only one with a folder named "Shiny Wallpaper"
Arch mage144: Anyway. If I'm done being totally fucking stunned, I think it's bedtime now.
T3chn0Namagomi: Night
Besyanteo: I'd like to dream about the characters atleast once. Or atleast remember the ones about the players.
Besyanteo: Night.
T3chn0Namagomi has left the room.
PapatymisonN has left the room.
Besyanteo has left the room.
KnightsofSquare has left the room.
Arch mage144 has left the room.
