(5:18:51 PM) You have just entered room "sean22andahalf."
(5:18:55 PM) Besyanteo has entered the room.
(5:19:01 PM) SongstressEnlil has entered the room.
(5:20:26 PM) Brodzky Zero has entered the room.
Brodzky Zero (5:20:33 PM): *My niece loves rice!*
Besyanteo (5:20:44 PM): MY computer desk is clean!
Brodzky Zero (5:20:47 PM): *She is running around hugging a container of rice saying "IT IS MINE I LOVE IT"*
Besyanteo (5:20:48 PM): My*
Besyanteo (5:20:52 PM): Heh.
Besyanteo (5:21:00 PM): One sec while I plug my printer back in, though.
(5:21:11 PM) Brodzky Zero has left the room.
Besyanteo (5:21:14 PM): All my cables seem to but just a bit too short for this desk.
(5:21:45 PM) Brodzky Zero has entered the room.
Brodzky Zero (5:22:06 PM): *Hurf durf. Hit the sleep button on my keyboard :)*
Idran1701 (5:22:15 PM): Heh.
Brodzky Zero (5:22:50 PM): *It's Bes's fault though.*
Besyanteo (5:22:56 PM): hm?
SongstressEnlil (5:23:00 PM): *I can never recall Ducim's color*
Besyanteo (5:23:06 PM): *workwork*
Brodzky Zero (5:23:17 PM): *He mentioned clean desks so I whipped out my little mini vacuum to clean mine :)*
Brodzky Zero (5:23:23 PM): *And THUS I bumped the vile key.*
Idran1701 (5:23:25 PM): That's right, Pervy.
Besyanteo (5:23:26 PM): Heh
Idran1701 (5:24:17 PM): Let me know when you're done taking care of stuff, Bes. :O
Besyanteo (5:25:53 PM): Ready
Brodzky Zero (5:25:59 PM): *Freddie.*
Idran1701 (5:26:02 PM): Kay. :O
SongstressEnlil (5:26:09 PM): <Mr Badguy>
Idran1701 (5:26:09 PM): <SIDEQUEST GO>
Brodzky Zero (5:26:13 PM): (Brb gotta wash my hands)
Besyanteo (5:26:19 PM): <YOU SMELL FUNNY>
Brodzky Zero (5:26:32 PM): (BACK)
Idran1701 (5:26:56 PM): (Semi-long intro, since I'm just grabbing the one I used in the IM RP with Shaun. :O)
Idran1701 (5:26:57 PM): Leading them through the city streets, their Sensate ally takes them along towards the headquarters of her faction; the Civic Festhall, located in the Clerk's Ward of Sigil.
Idran1701 (5:27:10 PM): It's quite the impressive building, nearly 1000 feet tall from the look of things. Quite beautiful as well, both in design and in appearance.
Idran1701 (5:27:30 PM): The main surface seems to be blended of dozens of different varieties of granite; every window is a stained-glass design with colors both subtle and blatant.
Idran1701 (5:27:34 PM): The floor of the building is a marbelized blend across the entire spectrum; even the mortar adds its own touch to the general appearance of the facilities.
Idran1701 (5:27:45 PM): Karinska leads the foursome through the lobby, where folks of all varieties, all levels of society mill, discussing various experiences or events they've undergone recently.
Idran1701 (5:27:50 PM): After checking in, she leads them along a short hallway to an area with numerous corridors branching off, the symbol of the Sensates emblazoned upon the ceiling overhead. This must be the heart of the public Sensoriums.
Idran1701 (5:28:06 PM): Handing over a few coins, she's given access for the group to a few of the room for today; a group chamber for Ducim, Guy, and First, and a single for herself and Arian.
Idran1701 (5:28:11 PM): A Sensate guide emerges for the trio, as Karinska leads Arian along to their own room.
Idran1701 (5:28:18 PM): ( The symbol, for reference. )
SongstressEnlil (5:29:35 PM): *Looking around calmly, periodically fingering his slip of a beard.*
Idran1701 (5:29:42 PM): The guide takes the threesome along, leading them down a short hallway, up to a door emblazoned with a mural showing a forest scene, a river running through a number of leafless, needleless trees as the grass grows tall below.
Idran1701 (5:29:58 PM): This is your first time in the Sensoriums, I hear?
Brodzky Zero (5:30:11 PM): *Following along, on autopilot mostly.*
Besyanteo (5:30:15 PM): It is.
SongstressEnlil (5:30:28 PM): Aye, been outside the place, but never in it.
Idran1701 (5:31:54 PM): *He nods, smiling; an older human in a fairly simple outfit, with thin brown hair and a pair of spectacles.* Well, I'm glad to get the chance to be your guide on this experience.
Idran1701 (5:33:10 PM): *opening the door, he ushers the three into the room; it looks...fairly sparse compared to the rest of the building, with a ring of chairs around a simple pedestal on which stands a gemstone, whirling with a number of colors*
Besyanteo (5:33:29 PM): (back momentarily)
Idran1701 (5:33:36 PM): *Other than these items, the room is bare, even the tiles beneath looking a fairly simple beige.*
SongstressEnlil (5:33:51 PM): *Strides inside, and glances around.*
Brodzky Zero (5:33:52 PM): *Scans this all, briefly.*
SongstressEnlil (5:34:10 PM): Gonna be a surprise, eh?
Idran1701 (5:34:32 PM): Well, that's up to the three of you. Karinska requested something more subtle and positive as your first experience, though if you have a specific request, we would be happy to fulfill it.
Besyanteo (5:34:35 PM): (Back)
Besyanteo (5:35:03 PM): (I just realized!)
Idran1701 (5:35:16 PM): (Hmm?)
Besyanteo (5:35:21 PM): (He totally shouldn't be talking right now, holding his book in his mouth. That's going to take getting used to.)
Idran1701 (5:35:29 PM): (Aha. Heh.)
Besyanteo (5:35:43 PM): (Still, scratching it doesn't change anything so far. :o)
SongstressEnlil (5:35:44 PM): (Ventriloquism proficiency ahoy!)
Besyanteo (5:35:48 PM): (Ha)
Besyanteo (5:36:03 PM): *Head to a chair, to sit in and place his book down*
Idran1701 (5:36:34 PM): *he takes a seat at one side of the pedestal, across from Guy* You know, I must say, I've never had the pleasure of meeting one of your sort, Guy.
Brodzky Zero (5:36:39 PM): (Brb continue I guess)
Idran1701 (5:36:43 PM): Please, tell me a bit, what is it like?
Besyanteo (5:37:00 PM): ... *his ears perk forward* What do you mean?
SongstressEnlil (5:37:09 PM): Heheheheh. *Shakes his head*
Idran1701 (5:37:17 PM): Being a wolf.
Besyanteo (5:37:18 PM): (I forgot what he did for curiosity before. I'm marking them down now.)
Besyanteo (5:37:33 PM): ... *he blinks*
Besyanteo (5:37:35 PM): It is good.
Idran1701 (5:37:58 PM): ...And?
Besyanteo (5:38:11 PM): ...
Brodzky Zero (5:38:16 PM): (BACK)
Besyanteo (5:38:33 PM): Tell me this first, so I can answer better:
Besyanteo (5:38:40 PM): What is it like, being a human?
SongstressEnlil (5:38:47 PM): *chuckling some more*
Idran1701 (5:39:32 PM): It's...fairly handy, in these sorts of lands. I fit in well, even in a city like Sigil. And by virtue of being able to blend in, I can more easily view the experiences of others as well as my own.
SongstressEnlil (5:39:54 PM): *And goes to have a look at the gem and give it the ol' dwarf eye, and see what it is and what it's worth. And if it's actually glass.*
Besyanteo (5:40:06 PM): *The left ear flicks* I see. Then...
Idran1701 (5:41:00 PM): *it seems to have a spot of enchantment about it, the colors within whirling about...as he gazes within, there starts to be the lightest of brushing at his mind, before he recieves a slight nudge from their guide*
Idran1701 (5:41:47 PM): *quietly and with a friendly tone, not wishing to interrupt Guy* I appreciate your excitement, but it will function better for the others if you all begin cimultaneously.
Idran1701 (5:41:50 PM): *simultaneously
SongstressEnlil (5:41:52 PM): That clear quartz or glass?
Besyanteo (5:42:02 PM): In this place, I am... out of place. The city is not built to suit me, but I still live easily. I stand out, but by being here I learn more in a short time than I have in years in Brux.
Brodzky Zero (5:42:04 PM): <_< 9_9 >_>
Besyanteo (5:42:07 PM): (slow typist, whee!)
Brodzky Zero (5:42:17 PM): *What are the dimensions of the room?*
Idran1701 (5:42:36 PM): *it's circular, about 10 or 15 feet across, with the ceiling about 8 feet*
SongstressEnlil (5:42:37 PM): (10 x 10_
Besyanteo (5:42:45 PM): IM: They define what they are by how they survive, then? I think something might have been lost between us...
Brodzky Zero (5:43:20 PM): (Pervy: You can't have 10x10 without pillars!)
Brodzky Zero (5:43:23 PM): (Idran: Okay)
Idran1701 (5:43:27 PM): *he looks to Guy* ...Perhaps I shall take the opportunity later to better understand your viewpoint, through a sensory experience of my own.
Idran1701 (5:43:50 PM): *to Ducim* I'm afraid I am not privy to the creation of the sensory stones.
Idran1701 (5:44:40 PM): But please, before we begin, do you have any special requests?
SongstressEnlil (5:44:44 PM): Huh. Figured a sensate be all over gettin' the dark of that first hand. Anyways, I'm in the mood to be surprised, meself.
Idran1701 (5:44:55 PM): *nods, as he looks to Guy*
Besyanteo (5:45:39 PM): ... In truth, I did not know what this place was when I came. I followed a friend who wished to come here. *right ear flick*
SongstressEnlil (5:46:02 PM): We'll go for the fourth cheapest. *Sage nod*
Brodzky Zero (5:46:11 PM): 9_9 >_>
Idran1701 (5:46:34 PM): *he gives a friendly chuckle towards Ducim as he speaks to Guy* Oh? Well, then let me explain...this is one of our Sensoriums. It allows one to immerse themselves in the experience of another.
Besyanteo (5:46:35 PM): (Not taking a hint = Sidequest!)
SongstressEnlil (5:46:45 PM): ( =D)
Besyanteo (5:47:51 PM): ... *he blinks. This is not something he's been seen to do before, come to think of it*
Idran1701 (5:48:11 PM): The recording of the memories of another, made into a form that allows it to be seen, be felt by others.
Besyanteo (5:49:06 PM): (he gets it, I'm just having trouble thinkign of a response for him.)
Idran1701 (5:49:16 PM): (*nod*)
Brodzky Zero (5:49:38 PM): *Watching that gemstone now.*
Idran1701 (5:49:38 PM): So, if you wish...I was told of your friend's language difficulties here, so I shall do my best to lead him into it as well.
Idran1701 (5:49:51 PM): *is First seated as well?*
Besyanteo (5:49:54 PM): *his ears perk forward again* I am eager.
SongstressEnlil (5:50:03 PM): *Examines the room again and eye for the craftsmanship.*
Brodzky Zero (5:50:04 PM): *Nope. Standing between his pals!*
Besyanteo (5:50:06 PM): (Blaaaaaah. Just switch them.)
SongstressEnlil (5:50:15 PM): **With an eye
Idran1701 (5:50:39 PM): *standing slightly, he gestures to First to take the free seat near the pedestal*
Brodzky Zero (5:50:51 PM): *Follows this gesture with rapt attention!*
Brodzky Zero (5:50:59 PM): *Calculates the intentions of it!*
Brodzky Zero (5:51:06 PM): *And...yes! He sits down.*
SongstressEnlil (5:51:12 PM): *Idly has a seat as well*
Idran1701 (5:51:51 PM): Now...first, the sensory stone works best with a balanced mind. One calm, focused, with stray thoughts kept to a minimum. It's not a necessity, but it helps to maintain the immersion within the stone.
SongstressEnlil (5:52:40 PM): *Attention to the sensate now, and not the shoddy humie craftworks.*
Besyanteo (5:53:10 PM): *just waits, watching the man with his ears perked.*
Idran1701 (5:53:33 PM): When you feel ready, turn your attention to the stone, gazing within it, letting it reach out to your mind and draw you in.
Brodzky Zero (5:53:42 PM): *Sits, waiting.*
Besyanteo (5:54:05 PM): *He looks at the stone!*
Idran1701 (5:54:10 PM): As I said, this works better with all doing it simultaneously...there are always a slight few echoes when a person uses one, but if your vision is synchronous, they won't be nearly as distracting.
Besyanteo (5:54:36 PM): *right ear flick, he looks to see what Ducim and First are up to*
Idran1701 (5:54:37 PM): *he gestures to First once more, indicating the being's eyes, and bringing his hand down towards the stone*
SongstressEnlil (5:54:53 PM): Echo?
Brodzky Zero (5:55:01 PM): *Follows with his eyes!*
SongstressEnlil (5:55:06 PM): (Fargin' lag)
Idran1701 (5:55:47 PM): When a stone is being used, all nearby feel the effects to some degree, though it's much slighter than those fully immersed within the visions.
Idran1701 (5:56:09 PM): It allows guides such as myself to observe your reactions to the experiences, to see how it effects you as it progresses.
SongstressEnlil (5:56:36 PM): ...I gotcha.
SongstressEnlil (5:56:49 PM): IM: Sodding air-headed sensates.
Idran1701 (5:57:04 PM): Now, if you're ready?
SongstressEnlil (5:57:22 PM): Think so.
Besyanteo (5:57:40 PM): *looks to the stone again, more than eager to see what this strangeness is about*
Brodzky Zero (5:58:09 PM): *Awaits further instructions.*
Idran1701 (5:58:27 PM): *nodding, he looks to First, indicating he should lean in slightly towards the stone*
SongstressEnlil (5:58:48 PM): *Looks at it as well, and takes to it like he's trying to stare down someone.*
Idran1701 (5:58:51 PM): Now, gaze within the stone, allow it to immerse you in the experiences it possesses. There will be a slight...tickle at your minds, before the vision takes hold.
Brodzky Zero (5:58:54 PM): *Does!*
Brodzky Zero (5:59:08 PM): *Watches the rglowrock.*
Idran1701 (6:00:02 PM): As the trio stare within the rock...they each feel something slipping into their heads, just giving the lightest of brushes against their thoughts.
SongstressEnlil (6:00:38 PM): (Does natural dwarven screwing up magical items come into play here? :D?)
Idran1701 (6:01:17 PM): (Dice say no!)
Besyanteo (6:01:25 PM): *He waits patient like*
SongstressEnlil (6:01:34 PM): (Hahahah)
Idran1701 (6:02:39 PM): This brushing soon fades...as does everything else, the room, their guide, their allies, all seeming to fade to darkness. But for an instant, before the vision takes hold...
Idran1701 (6:03:41 PM): ...you move through the tunnel, sword in hand, thoughts focused on the creature you were sent here to take out. A feeling of adrenalin surges through you, as you eagerly await your meeting with the beast.
Brodzky Zero (6:05:13 PM): (!!)
Idran1701 (6:05:38 PM): You journey deeper and deeper into the caves, soon emerging into a vast chamber...they claimed one beast, but it appears many more than they expected.
Idran1701 (6:06:33 PM): Far from a single of these strange, mouth-covered blobs, there are dozens, here, you can see as the grin spreads across your face.
Idran1701 (6:06:57 PM): A loud gibbering noise starts up, just barely audible through the earplugs you readied yourself with before beginning on this trip.
Idran1701 (6:07:26 PM): The excitement of battle merges with the feeling of accomplishment, as you revel in the thoughts of doing right by the threatened city.
Idran1701 (6:08:15 PM): You get the occasional nip through your armor, though you barely even notice it in the heat of the moment, wading into combat and slaying one abomination after another.
Idran1701 (6:09:22 PM): Soon, the last of the foul creatures seems to be slain, thank Hephaestus. You grin, as the thrill of the fight fades, leaving only the joy of a righteous act performed.
Idran1701 (6:09:50 PM): As you make one last check, ensuring none of the beasts survived, the cave slowly begins to fade, and you feel yourselves within your own bodies once more.
Besyanteo (6:10:21 PM): ... *his fur fluffs*
SongstressEnlil (6:11:15 PM): *Makes a face, then stretches out his muscles, probably more out of reflex.*
Brodzky Zero (6:11:24 PM): <_< >_>
Idran1701 (6:11:44 PM): ...Was it to your liking?
Besyanteo (6:11:51 PM): ... I do not know.
SongstressEnlil (6:12:03 PM): Gotta hand it to that basher, he fought pretty smart, for a head on rush.
SongstressEnlil (6:12:27 PM): That how those Arboreans think, eh?
Brodzky Zero (6:12:29 PM): *Looks vaguely confused and saddened; like a drunk that dimly realizes he's lost his last dollar on a bet.*
Idran1701 (6:13:01 PM): (...50 XP for that analogy. :D)
Idran1701 (6:13:28 PM): *smiles* I imagine so, yes. They do seem quite skilled in the arts of combat, from what I have seen.
Besyanteo (6:13:34 PM): (Makes me think of Shaun of the Dead)
SongstressEnlil (6:13:49 PM): IM: No wonder those Bacchae get so nasty.
Brodzky Zero (6:13:51 PM): (It came from someone's title text on SA I think.)
Idran1701 (6:14:14 PM): *he glances to Guy* I hope it was not too disconcerting for you. I know my first sensory experiences within the body of another race were a bit unnerving myself.
SongstressEnlil (6:14:18 PM): I'm thinkin' in the bloodthirst, myself.
Besyanteo (6:14:31 PM): ... it felt as though I had been this way before.
Besyanteo (6:14:57 PM): It is... confusing. Is this normal?
Idran1701 (6:14:59 PM): ...You're a petitioner from the Beastlands, yes?
Brodzky Zero (6:15:01 PM): Sword, not mine.
Besyanteo (6:15:05 PM): I am.
Idran1701 (6:15:29 PM): Then at one point, that means you were, doesn't it? Before the death that brought you here.
Idran1701 (6:15:39 PM): *and the guide looks to First, smiling to him, and nodding in confirmation*
SongstressEnlil (6:16:10 PM): Couldn't tell if it were a right feud with 'em or just bein' a mean sod, though. *Seems to be more talking to himself.*
Besyanteo (6:16:14 PM): ( Likely should have asked if Guy would know these things when I made him. Eh heheh.)
Brodzky Zero (6:16:29 PM): *To Guy.* See sword?
SongstressEnlil (6:16:32 PM): (The answer is maybe! :D)
Besyanteo (6:16:49 PM): *he looks to First* Yes.
Brodzky Zero (6:17:02 PM): *Looks at the gem again!*
Idran1701 (6:17:06 PM): (Indeed. Some petitioners are more aware of their past existence than others, though none have more than maybe the occasional flash of a memory from before their death.)
Idran1701 (6:17:31 PM): (Or a few vague deja vu-like echoes, like what Guy might have felt.)
Idran1701 (6:18:16 PM): (Basically, some know they were dead, some don't, but none of them really care that much about who they used to be, since they're here to do what they have to now.)
Besyanteo (6:19:26 PM): (*nod*)
Brodzky Zero (6:19:37 PM): *No reaction from the gem?*
SongstressEnlil (6:19:39 PM): Anyways, it was interestin'. Got anything longer-like?
Idran1701 (6:20:03 PM): *As First stares back into the gem, he can feel the same as before...if he wishes, he could experience the memory once more*
Idran1701 (6:20:43 PM): What would you like? Nearly any experience you can imagine, we have recorded. From the deepest joys to the most intense sorrows.
Brodzky Zero (6:20:52 PM): *Tries to resist!*
Brodzky Zero (6:21:03 PM): (The Emo kids love this place I bet.)
Idran1701 (6:21:09 PM): *It's fairly easy for First to break away from the gem once more.*
Besyanteo (6:21:17 PM): (Guy: I would like to feel the greatest depths of apathy and morose hatred you can offer.)
Besyanteo (6:21:24 PM): (Guide: *gives memories of LJ*)
Idran1701 (6:21:27 PM): (Klaus: Hey!)
Idran1701 (6:21:32 PM): (Ah, that line works too.)
Brodzky Zero (6:21:41 PM): (Kreb: GIVE ME YOUR WOMEN)
Besyanteo (6:21:44 PM): (I think I likes yours better. =P)
Brodzky Zero (6:22:02 PM): (Kreb: I want to spiral into the deepest depths of mindless hedonism. Please.)
Besyanteo (6:22:16 PM): (... I was thinking to mention that, yes.)
SongstressEnlil (6:22:27 PM): Hmmm. I'm thinking something that lasts a while. Like, long enough t' get to know the berk who made the thing.
Besyanteo (6:22:33 PM): (But it's definitely not something Guy would think of. Lessee...)
Idran1701 (6:22:39 PM): (That's why they keep a limit on the number of sensory experiences per day. :D)
SongstressEnlil (6:22:45 PM): Only got a bit of this one *Motions toward the gem.*
Brodzky Zero (6:22:56 PM): (Kreb's 17. That's all he thinks about, pretty much.)
Idran1701 (6:23:12 PM): *he nods* We do have a number of longer experiences available as well. For the payment offered, we can grant you ones of up to a half-hour.
Idran1701 (6:23:24 PM): IF you would wish something beyond pure immersion, perhaps something instructional?
Idran1701 (6:23:29 PM): A trip planned in the future, possibly?
Idran1701 (6:24:13 PM): Or perhaps an experience of some feat you would enjoy performing yourself, but haven't the capabilities or resources?
Besyanteo (6:24:29 PM): *thinks!*
Idran1701 (6:24:48 PM): *he looks to First curiously, seeing if he's going to pidgin out an opinion on something he'd like*
Brodzky Zero (6:24:54 PM): (Ducim admired a fine door today. VIRTUALLY)
Brodzky Zero (6:25:23 PM): *Looks back, blankly!*
Besyanteo (6:25:54 PM): ... I understand there is a human thing, called the "Harp". It has many strings. I am told I could not do that.
Besyanteo (6:26:20 PM): (... replace understand with "know". )
SongstressEnlil (6:26:48 PM): Never one for music, either, besides a good whistled tune.
Idran1701 (6:27:05 PM): *nod* We could allow you separate experiences, if you wish.
Besyanteo (6:27:09 PM): (Guy: *whistles Twisted Nerve*)
Idran1701 (6:27:26 PM): *and he looks to First, raising an eyebrow as he gestures to the stone* More?
Brodzky Zero (6:27:49 PM): Okay.
SongstressEnlil (6:27:50 PM): (Guy: *Whistles Loituma. For hours on end)
Idran1701 (6:28:13 PM): Sword? No sword?
Brodzky Zero (6:28:57 PM): Sword? *Motions to his.*
Idran1701 (6:28:59 PM): (Those are his only two choices for and experience.)
Idran1701 (6:29:22 PM): *shaking his head, he gestures to the stone, and his head*
Brodzky Zero (6:29:53 PM): (CURRENTLY LISTENING TO: Official D&D Sountrack; CRAFT OF THE WIZARD)
Brodzky Zero (6:30:10 PM): (Spooky.)
Idran1701 (6:31:20 PM): *he looks to the other two, a bit amused* I don't imagine this will be that effective, but I had to try at least.
Besyanteo (6:31:52 PM): *just sits.*
Brodzky Zero (6:31:56 PM): (He seemed to be asking 'sword' confusedly but it'd be hard to tell anyways :U)
Brodzky Zero (6:32:06 PM): (MY NIECE IS SINGING ALONG TO THE JUSTICE LEAGUE THEMESONG)
Brodzky Zero (6:32:10 PM): (Which has no lyrics.)
Idran1701 (6:32:22 PM): (Heh.)
Idran1701 (6:32:42 PM): *to Ducim* Well, I suppose he can share your next experience once more.
Idran1701 (6:33:17 PM): *and to Guy* As for yours, I am sure we have something of that nature.
Idran1701 (6:34:36 PM): If you will wait here? I think I have something in mind for you as well, sir...something to better understand, better feel the person from who the experience is drawn? And I shall return shortly with the appropriate stones.
Brodzky Zero (6:35:02 PM): (I can imagine a lot of black market sense-stone dealings.)
Idran1701 (6:35:37 PM): (:D)
Brodzky Zero (6:36:02 PM): (But not as much as fiddle-de-doos.)
Brodzky Zero (6:36:21 PM): (BRB Niece is making noise.)
Idran1701 (6:36:28 PM): *standing, he pauses a bit to make sure there are no further questions from the trio*
SongstressEnlil (6:36:52 PM): *Nods to the Sensate*
Besyanteo (6:37:35 PM): *seems to be quiet!*
Idran1701 (6:38:02 PM): *and he steps out, taking the stone with him, and leaving the group to themselves for now*
Idran1701 (6:38:27 PM): (Pause for Zero here. :O)
Brodzky Zero (6:39:13 PM): (Back)
Brodzky Zero (6:39:45 PM): <_<
Idran1701 (6:42:16 PM): *some minutes later, he returns, with a second pedestal and a small satchel*
Besyanteo (6:42:43 PM): *tail wags slowly*
Idran1701 (6:43:01 PM): *setting one stone from the sack upon Guy's pedestal, he sets the second and its stand nearer the wall*
Idran1701 (6:43:44 PM): This one may be a bit more slowly paced than you may be expecting. A recording of a person writing their memoirs, and reminiscing on more exciting days gone by.
Idran1701 (6:43:49 PM): Does this sound suitable to you?
Brodzky Zero (6:44:15 PM): (Ew old people.)
Besyanteo (6:44:37 PM): *knowing how this works by now, and not having been told otherwise, he looks on into his own pedestal and waits*
Idran1701 (6:46:34 PM): (Pervy, you still here?)
Brodzky Zero (6:46:39 PM): *Doesn't seem to care either way.*
SongstressEnlil (6:46:55 PM): (Sorry, distacted)
SongstressEnlil (6:47:05 PM): Sounds interestin'.
Idran1701 (6:48:11 PM): *nodding, he gestures to the pair to move their seats towards the second pedestal* If you please?
Idran1701 (6:48:39 PM): Meanwhile, Guy's own experiences soon begin...the others can feel a few flashes, and the quiet tones of a harp echoing in back of their minds.
Idran1701 (6:48:51 PM): (I'll go to IM with Guy's details.)
SongstressEnlil (6:49:42 PM): *Goes over toward the new gem*
Brodzky Zero (6:49:53 PM): *Follows!*
Idran1701 (6:52:17 PM): *nodding to First, and indicating he do the same thing as the last gem* When you are prepared.
Brodzky Zero (6:52:31 PM): Okay.
SongstressEnlil (6:53:59 PM): *Nods, and looks into it when First is ready*
Brodzky Zero (6:54:21 PM): *Is ready!*
Idran1701 (6:55:28 PM): The two look within the gem...and though First feels the brushings against his mind, Ducim's heritage works against him, as it seems to not even recognize his presence.
Idran1701 (6:55:40 PM): A common irritation for him, likely; a second try, perhaps?
SongstressEnlil (6:56:27 PM): Bah.
SongstressEnlil (6:56:39 PM): *tries again!*
Idran1701 (6:56:59 PM): It seems to work this time!
Idran1701 (7:06:27 PM): And as the two are encompassed in their experiences, the minutes tick by. Some 10 minutes later, Guy is the first to emerge from his view.
Idran1701 (7:06:59 PM): Though back with his own perception, he can feel the slight echoes of the experience the other two are undergoing...a vague sound of the scratching of quill against paper...something about stairs...
Idran1701 (7:07:35 PM): Their guide soon steps back to Guy's pedestal. Ah, welcome back. I hope it was enlightening?
Besyanteo (7:08:04 PM): ... *he sits, waiting for them to finish. His tail wags slowly, and his ears flatten against his skull.* Very.
Idran1701 (7:08:22 PM): *he nods*
Idran1701 (7:08:45 PM): Time continues to pass by...after another 10, perhaps 15 minutes, their own experience ends, as First and Ducim slowly readjust to the room about them.
Brodzky Zero (7:09:09 PM): <_<
SongstressEnlil (7:09:51 PM): *Blinks*
SongstressEnlil (7:09:58 PM): Now that was a planewalker.
Idran1701 (7:10:28 PM): *he smiles to the two* An enlightening experience for you as well, I hope?
Brodzky Zero (7:10:38 PM): Okay.
SongstressEnlil (7:11:01 PM): *Nods*
SongstressEnlil (7:12:01 PM): A lot more meaty, this one.
Idran1701 (7:12:12 PM): Now, we can allow you one more experience for today...we are forced to impose limitations, I'm afraid, as there are a number of folks who grow addicted to such things.
SongstressEnlil (7:12:20 PM): Last one, didn't know if that basher was comin' or goin'.
Idran1701 (7:12:55 PM): *nods, smiling again* Indeed. I usually prefer the longer ones for the same reasons.
SongstressEnlil (7:13:22 PM): *Looks to Guy* How was yours?
Besyanteo (7:14:05 PM): ... I... have... no words. *right earflick*
Brodzky Zero (7:14:21 PM): o_o
Besyanteo (7:14:22 PM): Good, though. Very good.
Besyanteo (7:14:32 PM): (brb, family)
Idran1701 (7:14:35 PM): ...*looks to First inquiringly*
Idran1701 (7:14:39 PM): (Pause for Bes. :O)
Besyanteo (7:15:33 PM): (back)
Besyanteo (7:16:02 PM): (First: AT LAST, SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS!)
Besyanteo (7:16:14 PM): (Guy: *switches the Brux*)
Brodzky Zero (7:16:37 PM): *Looks back!*
Idran1701 (7:17:05 PM): (What sort of expression was that before? Astonishment?)
Brodzky Zero (7:17:24 PM): (The drunk thing, again.)
Idran1701 (7:18:54 PM): So, has this been satisfactory? Or is there a final experience you would enjoy for the day?
SongstressEnlil (7:19:18 PM): *Strokes his mustaches and ponders*
Besyanteo (7:19:19 PM): *he looks at Ducim*
Brodzky Zero (7:19:32 PM): *Looks at the gemerald.*
SongstressEnlil (7:19:34 PM): Thinkin' we oughta get that last one, aye?
Brodzky Zero (7:19:37 PM): *Not too close though!*
Besyanteo (7:20:22 PM): I can think of nothing. You pick.
Idran1701 (7:20:23 PM): *though the colors shift constantly, it seems to be generally an orangish hue in appearance; it's cut roundly, more as one would picture a ruby than a diamond*
SongstressEnlil (7:20:58 PM): Hmmm.
SongstressEnlil (7:21:19 PM): Hey, I got one for ya. *to the sensate.*
Idran1701 (7:21:39 PM): *he raises an eyebrow, waiting expectantly*
SongstressEnlil (7:22:27 PM): You got a good group project goin' on in a hold? Dwarven, I mean. Maybe with say thirty craftmen all workin' on the same thing?
Idran1701 (7:23:23 PM): ...Hmm. I believe we might, yes.
SongstressEnlil (7:23:56 PM): *Grins*
Idran1701 (7:24:07 PM): *he takes the two stones* Allow me a moment?
SongstressEnlil (7:24:15 PM): *Nods*
Idran1701 (7:24:37 PM): *nodding to the group, looking a bit pleased for their sake, he steps out once more*
Idran1701 (7:26:30 PM): *the wait is slightly longer this time, but again he returns with the final stone*
SongstressEnlil (7:26:42 PM): Y'know, these things ain't so bad, once you find a good one. *as the guy walks in!*
Brodzky Zero (7:26:42 PM): (Magic stone!)
Idran1701 (7:27:08 PM): I believe you may be especially pleased with this one. The foreman of the project within apparantly trained within the halls of Clangeddin himself.
SongstressEnlil (7:27:38 PM): Huh. Got me all curious now.
Idran1701 (7:28:12 PM): *he sets the stone upon the central pedestal* When you are ready.
Idran1701 (7:28:25 PM): *indicating thusly to First once more*
Brodzky Zero (7:28:34 PM): *Ready to rock! (Watch)*
SongstressEnlil (7:28:44 PM): This'll be a treat for ya, Guy. *Looks in himself.*
Besyanteo (7:28:50 PM): *goes to watch himself*
Brodzky Zero (7:29:41 PM): *O_O*
Idran1701 (7:30:12 PM): The vision comes even more swiftly, the immersion growing easier and easier with each new delving. The halls of the innards of a massive dwarven hold begin to fade in, as you look around to your compatriots on this project.
Idran1701 (7:31:30 PM): The bulk of the work still amazes you...such a massive piece of work, and to memorialize one of your own clan, even!
Idran1701 (7:32:36 PM): His honor is certainly worth it after what he did in defense of this hold some months past, and yet, it still amazes you to this day the breadth of the work involved.
Idran1701 (7:33:01 PM): Metalworkers, stonecrafters, gemcutters, all working in concert...the torso of the statue sits not far from you, itself echoing the triumph of your race's skills.
Idran1701 (7:33:55 PM): Finished not two days ago, the stone finish and silver veins shine brightly in the reflected gleam of the glowrocks overhead.
Idran1701 (7:34:43 PM): This piece itself stands a good 2 dwarfspan...and that's on its back! You can hardly believe it, chuckling at the skill involved in this work.
SongstressEnlil (7:35:43 PM): (MC Raiders is such a terrible song to come on at this time)
Brodzky Zero (7:36:31 PM): (Go find the song "Steel" I sent you, Pervy. It works :) )
Idran1701 (7:36:40 PM): You glance over to the unfinished sections...the legs are being worked on at the moment by the best of the hold's stoneshapers, guided by the designs of your foreman, Arik Oremelder.
SongstressEnlil (7:37:08 PM): (*Does!*)
Idran1701 (7:38:01 PM): His skill's well apparant...every wrinkle in skin, every fastener in clothing...and all in his head, none of this "parchment" nonsense the surfacers so rely on.
Idran1701 (7:38:45 PM): The head stands still for now, as the gems set in place, slowly melding with the stone for a permanent fit. No mere fixtures, when complete, they'll be a part of the stone as much as anything else.
Idran1701 (7:39:42 PM): You get back to your own work, shaping the haft of your clanmate's maul, working down to the finest detail, even going so far as to match the grain of the rock.
Idran1701 (7:41:23 PM): Why, in just another short month or so, the statue should stand completed, gazing down upon your central hall, and memorializing Trask for generations upon generations to come.
Idran1701 (7:42:16 PM): Grinning, you look along the length of the stone shaft, polishing out a last burr from the central nodule before setting your cloth down for the night.
Idran1701 (7:43:18 PM): You head back through the halls, admiring the results of those still finishing up the last of their work for a spell before continuing on to your own quarters...as the vision slowly comes to a halt.
Idran1701 (7:43:38 PM): ...A bit shorter, yes, but I hope it was as you expected?
SongstressEnlil (7:43:46 PM): *Sighs* Makes a body homesick, it does.
Brodzky Zero (7:44:04 PM): *Reaches out in front of him, trying to snag something that is not there anymore!*
Idran1701 (7:44:33 PM): (First never gets to keep any rocks. :( )
Besyanteo (7:44:46 PM): *He blinks a few times*
Brodzky Zero (7:44:52 PM): Good.
SongstressEnlil (7:44:54 PM): Thanks, cutter, *to the Sensate* Makes this trip worth it three times over, that did.
Idran1701 (7:45:45 PM): *he nods, smiling* And if any of you have your own experiences, in areas new to us, we will pay well for the opporunity to record them.
Brodzky Zero (7:46:15 PM): (It's like wikipedia!)
Idran1701 (7:46:26 PM): (Only you get money for contributing!)
Idran1701 (7:46:30 PM): (So it's also like MTurk. :D)
Besyanteo (7:46:40 PM): (And you don't get teh chance to deface the works of others)
Idran1701 (7:46:50 PM): (Unless you're sneaky.)
Besyanteo (7:46:56 PM): (Heh.)
Besyanteo (7:47:00 PM): (We done here?)
Idran1701 (7:47:11 PM): (Sure! Before you go, though!)
Idran1701 (7:47:33 PM): (If nothing else does, I say experiences deserves experience; thus, 300 XP each. :O)
Idran1701 (7:47:41 PM): (*deserve)
Besyanteo (7:47:44 PM): (I will note this!)
Besyanteo (7:48:02 PM): (Ding!)
Idran1701 (7:48:06 PM): (!)
Idran1701 (7:48:21 PM): (Oh, and don't forget his 10% bonus for ability scores.)
Besyanteo (7:48:21 PM): (for now, brb. LAter, level up!)
Besyanteo (7:48:26 PM): (Hm?)
Idran1701 (7:48:37 PM): (If you have over 16 in your class's "prime requisite", you get a 10% XP bonus.)
Idran1701 (7:48:43 PM): (Intelligence, in the case of a mage.)
Besyanteo (7:48:47 PM): (Ah. Well then.)
Idran1701 (7:48:52 PM): (Slightly more level up! :D)
Besyanteo (7:48:53 PM): (I'll need updated EXP later.
Besyanteo (7:48:59 PM): (for now, brb!)
Idran1701 (7:49:00 PM): (*nod* LAter!)
Idran1701 (7:49:43 PM): (Ducim has 3% for that, Pervy, since he's got 1 out of 3 prime reqs. Just so you know, though I'll still track it for you.)
Brodzky Zero (7:49:49 PM): (Idran has to do all my numbers and junk for me because I'm retarded.)
Idran1701 (7:49:53 PM): (Yep.)
SongstressEnlil (7:50:08 PM): (Yay!)
Idran1701 (7:50:34 PM): (First also ding. :O)
Brodzky Zero (7:50:55 PM): (Elf)
Idran1701 (7:51:04 PM): (Cna't level up in Elf.)
Idran1701 (7:51:07 PM): (*Can't)
Idran1701 (7:51:17 PM): </RP>
Idran1701 (7:51:23 PM): It's not a class no more. :(
Idran1701 (7:51:41 PM): Sword?
Idran1701 (7:52:35 PM): Anyway! Wanna take care of that now, Zero, or wait until later? :D
Brodzky Zero (7:52:40 PM): *SURE NOW WHY NOT*
Brodzky Zero (7:52:43 PM): *BUT IN IMS*&
Idran1701 (7:52:52 PM): OKAY WAIT ACTUALLY BRB
(8:02:13 PM) Brodzky Zero has left the room.
(8:13:07 PM) SongstressEnlil has left the room.
