(7:56:18 PM) You have just entered room "sean43."
(7:56:21 PM) TheWaiChibiAngel has entered the room.
(7:56:27 PM) SongstressEnlil has entered the room.
(7:56:56 PM) CGNakibe has entered the room.
Idran1701 (7:57:09 PM): Once Bes gets back, we should be good to start.
SongstressEnlil (7:57:15 PM): *DESTRUCTION RAINS FROM THE HEAVENS!*
(7:57:35 PM) Besyanteo has entered the room.
CGNakibe (7:57:44 PM): Rar.
Besyanteo (7:57:50 PM): Dishesand family aned such
CGNakibe (7:57:51 PM)
: And Pervy? Its JUST WATER.
CGNakibe (7:58:07 PM): Unless someone has pissed off Lavos and I haven't been told.
SongstressEnlil (7:58:26 PM): *Isn't Lavos pissed by default?*
Idran1701 (7:58:36 PM): All right, then. Before we start, any other pre-departure stuff people wanted to take care of in Xaos?
CGNakibe (7:58:38 PM): More than usual.
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:58:41 PM): *Sleepy by default.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:58:45 PM)
: *PIssed when woken up.*
Idran1701 (7:58:52 PM)
: Yeah, that sounds about right.
SongstressEnlil (7:58:56 PM): *True*
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:59:07 PM): *PAIRVEY*
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:59:12 PM)
: *Thank you for your burrito run, sir.*
Besyanteo (7:59:16 PM)
: PARLEY?
SongstressEnlil (7:59:27 PM)
: *Karl wishes to burn it to the ground. He feels it would agree with the people as a whole*
Idran1701 (7:59:29 PM): PARKAY
SongstressEnlil (7:59:34 PM): *YOU ARE WELCOME, SHINIFORD*
Idran1701 (7:59:45 PM): They might even beat him to it.
CGNakibe (7:59:47 PM): Parkour?
SongstressEnlil (8:00:23 PM): *Will it still get the Xp for trying?*
Idran1701 (8:00:46 PM): He'll get fauXP.
Idran1701 (8:00:59 PM): Tastes just like the real thing, but with half the calories and a third the fat content.
CGNakibe (8:00:59 PM): Sounds like Microsoft's new OS.
SongstressEnlil (8:01:19 PM): *As long as it leads to him getting more nonweapon proficiencies*
Idran1701 (8:01:34 PM): What're you going to do when you run out, anyway?
Idran1701 (8:01:39 PM): There's only so many. :D
SongstressEnlil (8:01:49 PM): *Import more from GURPS*
Idran1701 (8:01:52 PM): Heh.
CGNakibe (8:01:54 PM): But more than a fair share of weapons.
Idran1701 (8:01:57 PM): ANYWAY
CGNakibe (8:02:00 PM): Chair legs are an untapped resource, mand.
Idran1701 (8:02:01 PM): We good to go?
Besyanteo (8:02:06 PM): Karl: Operate Motor Vehicle...? ... Hm. I might use it some day.
CGNakibe (8:02:07 PM)
: *man
CGNakibe (8:02:23 PM): Soon? Perhaps? Maybe? YES?
CGNakibe (8:02:32 PM): No no. Karl will get the most out of Piloting.
CGNakibe (8:02:50 PM): Pilot: Space Barge
Besyanteo (8:02:53 PM): Ha
Besyanteo (8:02:55 PM)
: Also: Ready
SongstressEnlil (8:03:04 PM)
: *All's ready*
Idran1701 (8:03:21 PM): Shini? :O
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:03:38 PM): *HARG*
CGNakibe (8:03:39 PM): Lilium: *gains skill: Grappler Ship Piloting*
Idran1701 (8:03:46 PM): <Then we begin!>
Besyanteo (8:04:22 PM): (Lil: Fear my short sighted and ultimately useless ship design!)
Idran1701 (8:04:35 PM)
: Though the disorder of Xaos was definitely not the easiest of things to deal with, the party's come out of things fairly well-off.
Idran1701 (8:04:42 PM): Lil's healed up, looking better than she has in a while, and they now have an idea of where to look for their goal.
Besyanteo (8:04:58 PM): (Arian: I use magic, and will therefore lose to this design by default.)
SongstressEnlil (8:05:09 PM)
: (Don't diss the 'nids, Bes)
Idran1701 (8:05:14 PM): Thus, the party leaves the city of partial sanity, heading into the unexplorable fields of the Hinterlands.
CGNakibe (8:05:25 PM): (Padwan san fa! Padawan san fa!)
Besyanteo (8:05:31 PM): (I will diss all parts of Outlaw Star. >:)
CGNakibe (8:05:37 PM)
: (*hexes Pervy's ship, cruises to victory in the Great Race)
SongstressEnlil (8:05:54 PM): (I will revoke your mighty pink dollar!)
CGNakibe (8:06:00 PM): (*strands Bes in a galaxy far far away. And full of emo. >:{*)
Idran1701 (8:06:10 PM): (Less OOC more introing >:)
Besyanteo (8:06:21 PM): <Arf>
CGNakibe (8:06:50 PM)
: <Tao-Mastah>
SongstressEnlil (8:07:08 PM): <Kicks the leyline>
CGNakibe (8:07:33 PM): Are we sure we're going the right way here? I mean, this place has already given me a headache. Twice.
CGNakibe (8:07:35 PM): Just today.
Idran1701 (8:07:40 PM): Though the area before them doesn't look especially hazardous, from what the Traveler says, they should expect some strangeness as they enter the lands beyond the gate-towns.
Idran1701 (8:07:52 PM): Well...just head away from the Spire, right?
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:08:59 PM): <LATE>
CGNakibe (8:09:03 PM): One hopes.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:09:07 PM): *IS there! Looking 'good'*
SongstressEnlil (8:09:19 PM): Quite. *Using the stick!*
Idran1701 (8:09:27 PM): *walking behind Lil, sticking close to her*
Idran1701 (8:10:06 PM): *the landscape around here looks fairly reasonable; grasslands, if a bit hilly*
Idran1701 (8:10:31 PM): *ahead, though, seems to be a bit rougher; not quite desert, but not exactly green either*
Idran1701 (8:10:51 PM): *a bit between the two, it appears, and none the flatter for it*
Idran1701 (8:11:20 PM): (And unless there's any special desire for CI along the way, I'm gonna timeskip along the journey a bit.)
SongstressEnlil (8:11:32 PM): Please, remind me of the directions you obtained?
Idran1701 (8:13:08 PM): (If folks need a reminding, it was to concentrate on the scent of the fruit.)
Idran1701 (8:13:55 PM): (That's supposed to be enough to get you to the grove eventually if you travel through the Hinterlands long enough, though he didn't say exactly how long it'd take.)
Besyanteo (8:14:06 PM): (Guy is totally doing that. Whee.)
CGNakibe (8:14:24 PM)
: (Arian is totally trying not to sneeze)
Idran1701 (8:15:16 PM): (And since I just recalled Coffinmaker was there himself!)
Idran1701 (8:15:34 PM): ...That gardening fellow said we just have to...think of the smell of the plum.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:16:13 PM): ..I can't smell well..
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:16:16 PM): ..Thorn. *Whistles*
SongstressEnlil (8:16:23 PM): Ah. *Nods toward Guy* I shant imagine we'll need to do much, ourselves.
Idran1701 (8:16:26 PM): *looks up to her*
CGNakibe (8:16:46 PM): I hope not. *sniff*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:16:48 PM): Thorn can smell.
Besyanteo (8:17:39 PM): Two will find it faaster than one, yes. I will tell him what we are looking for.
Besyanteo (8:17:53 PM)
: *And, unless she stops him?*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:18:08 PM)
: *Doesn't!*
SongstressEnlil (8:19:19 PM): IM: A pity that trying to read while walking would be immensely dangerous here. Such uninteresting country...
Besyanteo (8:19:23 PM): *He explaiuns the sent! in doggish!*
Besyanteo (8:19:33 PM)
: *the scent as well!*
Idran1701 (8:19:37 PM)
: *after the request is relayed* =...All right. I can do that.=
Idran1701 (8:20:09 PM): (I imagine that's probably one of the languages most suited for doing such. For those with enough intelligence to have actual meaning behind it, at least. :D)
SongstressEnlil (8:20:23 PM): (I imagine imagine the scent data is relayed via something like RGB values)
Idran1701 (8:20:28 PM): (Ha.)
CGNakibe (8:20:56 PM): (At the very least there'd be more accurate verbs for smell. >:P)
Idran1701 (8:21:07 PM): *and the travel continues, with Guy and Thorn leading the way for the rest of the party*
Besyanteo (8:21:11 PM): (No no, better)
Besyanteo (8:21:20 PM)
: (Link codes)
Idran1701 (8:21:28 PM)
: (:D)
Besyanteo (8:21:34 PM): (245DIR39SJGFx056)
Besyanteo (8:21:41 PM)
: (Thorn: Got it.)
Besyanteo (8:22:02 PM)
: (.. pointer. That's the word.)
Idran1701 (8:22:07 PM)
: *after about an hour or so, a vague sense of...wrongness begins to itch at the minds of all present, a sense that they aren't supposed to be here; they seem to have entered the Hinterlands proper*
CGNakibe (8:22:17 PM): (hahaha)
SongstressEnlil (8:22:40 PM): *Frowns, and surveys the land.*
CGNakibe (8:22:41 PM): IM: Are you getting that feeling too?
SongstressEnlil (8:23:01 PM): IM: My my.
Idran1701 (8:23:20 PM): *it is, and it doesn't like it, but it's better than Limbo at least*
Besyanteo (8:23:34 PM): *He's used to the planes and their nuttiness! He focuses on his job here*
Idran1701 (8:23:42 PM)
: *the others hear a vague clicking/chattering noise coming from...somewhere on Arian*
Idran1701 (8:24:18 PM): *meanwhile, the land around them looks like any other landscape, if a bit sparse*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:24:27 PM): *QUIET> Still.*
Idran1701 (8:24:36 PM): *...though before long, something seems apparant to the rest, Guy especially; there's no sounds of fauna*
Besyanteo (8:24:55 PM): ...
Idran1701 (8:25:03 PM)
: *even the outlands had the buzzing of insects about, but here, not even that*
Idran1701 (8:25:07 PM): **Outlands*
Besyanteo (8:25:12 PM): *he pauses, satanding in place, every hair on him standing upright*
CGNakibe (8:25:15 PM)
: ... This place feels familiar. And nothing I like.
Idran1701 (8:25:38 PM): ...Familiar?
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:25:46 PM): Huh.
Idran1701 (8:26:02 PM): *frowns, slightly shuddering* I'd hate to know where that'd've been.
CGNakibe (8:26:12 PM): Vaguely so, anyway.
CGNakibe (8:26:22 PM): 's like we're back in that accursed town.
SongstressEnlil (8:26:40 PM): Dis?
Besyanteo (8:26:45 PM): ... *after a moment, he continues foreward slowly*
CGNakibe (8:26:50 PM)
: (Argh. Lag of doom. >.<)
OnlineHost (8:27:00 PM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 5-sided die: 1
OnlineHost
(8:27:15 PM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 3-sided die: 3
Idran1701 (8:27:26 PM): *Thorn looks to Guy, but soon picks up the pace with him again* =You do not like this place.=
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:27:54 PM): (OH JESUS)
Besyanteo (8:27:59 PM): =Understatement. This place feels dead.=
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:28:04 PM)
: (I..I think I'm going to go..)
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:28:08 PM): (I don't even know.)
Besyanteo (8:28:39 PM): (Is this a song quote, or is something wrong?)
Idran1701 (8:28:40 PM)
: (...Huh?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:28:50 PM): (Bes.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:28:56 PM): (They're making a movie about f*rries.)
Besyanteo (8:29:02 PM): (......)
Idran1701 (8:29:02 PM)
: (......What?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:29:04 PM): (Starring Ellen Degenerous.)
Idran1701 (8:29:07 PM): (...)
SongstressEnlil (8:29:08 PM): (HAHAHAHA)
Besyanteo (8:29:09 PM): (...)
Idran1701 (8:29:20 PM)
: (That has the potential for great levels of hilarity.)
Idran1701 (8:29:26 PM): (Or great levels of horror.)
CGNakibe (8:29:27 PM): (...)
CGNakibe (8:29:34 PM): (Option B seems likely.)
Besyanteo (8:29:42 PM): (*BUM* Error: Your Bes is fucked in the brain right now. Please restart.)
Idran1701 (8:29:53 PM)
: (*reboots Bes in the head*)
SongstressEnlil (8:30:03 PM): (Well done, Besford =])
SongstressEnlil (8:30:18 PM): (I hope Bob Eucker is in it)
Idran1701 (8:30:22 PM): (Heh.)
Besyanteo (8:30:27 PM): ( Gwahgablargle.)
Besyanteo (8:30:34 PM)
: (... Ok. Ok.)
Besyanteo (8:30:39 PM)
: (Link me to information or whatever.)
SongstressEnlil (8:30:41 PM)
: *Frowning.*
Besyanteo (8:30:59 PM): (Also: )
SongstressEnlil (8:31:00 PM)
: (Better Link)
Idran1701 (8:31:06 PM): ...Dis was like this?
Besyanteo (8:31:08 PM): (Is it a sign thast the CSI furry episode was on earlier today?)
Besyanteo (8:31:26 PM)
: (Pervy: *Hugs Ray charles*)
SongstressEnlil (8:31:27 PM)
: I'm not entirely sure what you mean.
CGNakibe (8:31:48 PM): Back home.
Idran1701 (8:31:49 PM): You said that's the city Arian meant, didn't you?
Idran1701 (8:31:53 PM): ...Oh.
SongstressEnlil (8:31:58 PM): But, I suspect one of your procl-Ah.
SongstressEnlil (8:32:25 PM): Intriguing. What do you feel, if words can be put to it?
Idran1701 (8:32:51 PM): ...You don't feel this yourself?
SongstressEnlil (8:33:57 PM): Not as you do, I think. You are clearly more attuned to the mystical than I am. Merely a vague sense of discomfort.
Idran1701 (8:34:07 PM): ...*falling back towards Lil a bit, but still staying in the lead; it's obvious Thorn doesn't like things here either*
CGNakibe (8:34:08 PM): I'm... not sure how to put it, exactly.
Idran1701 (8:34:30 PM): ...It's like...something doesn't want us here.
Besyanteo (8:34:50 PM): (... oh gawd.)
Besyanteo (8:34:58 PM)
: (Now I wish I didn';t know.)
SongstressEnlil (8:34:59 PM)
: You feel it is pushing you away?
Besyanteo (8:35:09 PM): (Chris: I need your character's time machine.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:35:11 PM)
: *Glances at Thorn, but walks*
Idran1701 (8:35:18 PM): ...*shakes his head* Nothing that strong.
Idran1701 (8:35:25 PM): What about you, Arian?
CGNakibe (8:35:31 PM): Similarly.
CGNakibe (8:35:39 PM): Its not that something doesn't want us here... more like... Hm.
CGNakibe (8:35:47 PM): More like a feeling that I SHOULDN'T be here.
Besyanteo (8:36:04 PM): (... Then again, this is on 4chan. It could be fake as hell.)
Idran1701 (8:36:14 PM)
: ...Yes, that's right.
SongstressEnlil (8:36:28 PM): Ah, so rather like the higher geometry classes at Ausburg, Arian?
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:36:30 PM): (4chan isn't that creative.)
Besyanteo (8:36:52 PM): (Do you garuntee it?)
SongstressEnlil (8:36:59 PM)
: (I've seen some fine copy pasta in my days on these tubes)
CGNakibe (8:37:11 PM): I can't help it if those shapes make my head hurt to study for long periods. >.>
SongstressEnlil (8:37:28 PM): (This may help Bes feel better)
SongstressEnlil (8:37:30 PM): (Maybe)
Idran1701 (8:37:37 PM): ...*small chuckle, but it's a bit forced*
Besyanteo (8:37:44 PM): (good try, but no)
SongstressEnlil (8:38:13 PM)
: Well, let us keep an eye out for similiar phenomena as in the Distortion.
Besyanteo (8:38:25 PM): Distortion?
Besyanteo (8:38:30 PM)
: (color*)
Besyanteo (8:38:39 PM)
: (glee)
Besyanteo (8:38:48 PM)
: *keeps his nose busy!*
Besyanteo (8:38:54 PM)
: *and thinking on the scent!*
SongstressEnlil (8:39:00 PM)
: A place ruined by magics of old in our world. I think I told you of the Trakain Heresy?
Besyanteo (8:39:10 PM): ... Ahh.
Idran1701 (8:39:17 PM)
: *Guy smells nothing yet, though he still feels as if the memory of the scent is guiding him somewhere*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:39:28 PM): *Whistles to herself*
CGNakibe (8:39:28 PM): There it was as if there was something wrong with time.
Idran1701 (8:39:29 PM): *gently tugging him, as it were*
SongstressEnlil (8:39:54 PM): The Distortion is the waste that was left, where the laws of nature become rather optional.
Idran1701 (8:39:59 PM): (Shini, gimme a d20. :O)
OnlineHost (8:40:05 PM): TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
Idran1701 (8:40:18 PM): *nothin' going on here*
Besyanteo (8:40:36 PM): *Sniffy sniff*
SongstressEnlil (8:41:32 PM)
: *Looking about the terrain for interesting things.*
Idran1701 (8:41:45 PM): (Another d20 for Pervy, then.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:41:49 PM): ...
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:41:54 PM): *Begins walking*
OnlineHost (8:41:56 PM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:42:10 PM): Thorn, come.
Idran1701 (8:42:43 PM): *he looks to Lil, and breaks off, giving a short glance to Guy but following along with Lil*
Besyanteo (8:43:16 PM): *does not glance back. Looks, to Thorn, like he's concentrating!*
SongstressEnlil (8:43:26 PM)
: *Eyes freeze on a particular direction.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:44:21 PM): *Pops her left blade, just to be safe.*
SongstressEnlil (8:44:34 PM): *Walking along quietly*
Idran1701 (8:44:58 PM): *Lil moves ahead of the group some, heading off of the path just a bit*
Idran1701 (8:45:16 PM): (d20s from Shaun and Bes, if either of their characters'd be looking off in the direction she's heading.)
OnlineHost (8:45:33 PM): CGNakibe rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
OnlineHost
(8:45:51 PM): Besyanteo rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Besyanteo (8:45:59 PM): (Well, one of us wins. The other FAILS.)
CGNakibe (8:46:05 PM)
: (BUT WHICH ONE?!?)
SongstressEnlil (8:46:23 PM): (*Slaadi erupts from the ground* Hello Mortals!)
Besyanteo (8:47:58 PM): ... *he stops sniffing the ground, his head rising up and staring where Lil is looking. His ears swivel back and forth*
CGNakibe (8:48:16 PM)
: Eh? *stops and stares... and then walks towards where Lilium is headed*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:48:37 PM): Do you see that/
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:48:44 PM): *To Thorn, presumably.*
Besyanteo (8:48:45 PM): Yes.
Besyanteo (8:48:49 PM)
: (he's not looking at her)
Besyanteo (8:48:54 PM)
: (... worn markers)
Besyanteo (8:49:04 PM)
: (... I need heating in here)
Idran1701 (8:49:08 PM)
: *Thorn glances up to her, and back to the area ahead*
Besyanteo (8:49:10 PM): ( * **)
Besyanteo (8:49:13 PM)
: (wrong*)
SongstressEnlil (8:49:14 PM)
: So we all see it, it seems.
Besyanteo (8:49:28 PM): Stay here. I am faster.
Besyanteo (8:49:34 PM)
: *he charges ahead!*
Idran1701 (8:49:37 PM)
: ...Well, I can see something...
SongstressEnlil (8:49:43 PM): Be careful!
Idran1701 (8:50:04 PM): *he watches Guy, and glances back up to Lil, looking tensed but staying put for now*
SongstressEnlil (8:50:41 PM): What does it look like to all of you?
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:50:56 PM): *Kneels, scratching Thorn's ears some* I have no idea.
SongstressEnlil (8:52:07 PM): Nor do I. It is simply a thing spread across the horizon a bit, it seems something is obscuring it.
SongstressEnlil (8:53:01 PM): If this is truly like the Distortion, we need to take care to make certain we are experiencing the same thing.
Idran1701 (8:53:17 PM): ...That's a risk?
Idran1701 (8:53:29 PM): I didn't even consider...
SongstressEnlil (8:53:36 PM): Anything can be a risk in the Distortion.
SongstressEnlil (8:53:50 PM): That we went in so deeply and survived is nigh unheard of.
CGNakibe (8:54:01 PM): ... you have a point there.
CGNakibe (8:54:07 PM): But... what could it be?
CGNakibe (8:54:14 PM): I can barely even tell its height at this point.
SongstressEnlil (8:54:26 PM): Anything. And perhaps nothing. *how is Guy doing?*
Besyanteo (8:54:32 PM): *Guy just... keeps going..*
Besyanteo (8:54:42 PM)
: *He's disappearing into the haze, tiny now*
CGNakibe (8:55:35 PM)
: .... *sniff sniff* It doesn't hurt that we still don't know anything about HOW this place is like the Distortion.
CGNakibe (8:55:37 PM): If it is at all.
Idran1701 (8:56:02 PM): ...*leaning on his staff as he waits* What sort of...what exactly happened while you were there?
CGNakibe (8:56:04 PM): I mean, the place WE visited.... hey. Where's Guy?
Idran1701 (8:56:33 PM): *they can just barely see him...rather, they can see something moving, and they can gather it's him from the direction, at least*
Idran1701 (8:57:01 PM): *before too long, a few minutes or so, it seems to turn back, approaching them again*
SongstressEnlil (8:57:12 PM): I consider it in this light. Little is known of the hinterlands, and those who poke too deeply into them tend not to come back. This is similiar enough for me to treat it with great caution.
CGNakibe (8:57:36 PM): That's a good question.
Idran1701 (8:58:24 PM): (Be right back.)
SongstressEnlil (8:58:49 PM): (Guy: *Is stuck in Xeno's paradox*)
Besyanteo (8:59:07 PM): (*l;ooks that up*)
Idran1701 (9:00:41 PM)
: (Back.)
Besyanteo (9:01:02 PM): (Tortoise and Achilles?)
Idran1701 (9:01:11 PM)
: *eventually, after about 20 minutes all told, Guy returns to the party, Thorn watching him closely as he approaches*
SongstressEnlil (9:01:26 PM): (Fink so. I think I recall runner and arrow)
Besyanteo (9:01:35 PM): (A moment)
Besyanteo (9:01:50 PM)
: ( A mathematical paradox )
SongstressEnlil (9:01:51 PM): What did you see?
Idran1701 (9:01:52 PM): (Two different paradoxes of Xeno's, though.)
Idran1701 (9:01:55 PM): (*those)
Besyanteo (9:02:25 PM): We have a very big problem. I know why no one leaves the Hinterlands once they enter.
Besyanteo (9:02:48 PM)
: That place ahead is merely a set of buildings. We can camp there. They are not important.
SongstressEnlil (9:03:06 PM)
: *Nods, listening*
Besyanteo (9:03:07 PM): On my run back, the land changed. Only you remained the same.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:03:35 PM)
: Fancy.
CGNakibe (9:03:36 PM): ...
SongstressEnlil (9:03:45 PM): This is not necessarily out of character with Limbo. And, it would explain why we are to follow a scent.
CGNakibe (9:03:48 PM): First time, now.... I believe its Space.
Idran1701 (9:03:56 PM): ...*he suddenly turns, looking for the Spire, a bit fearful*
Idran1701 (9:04:07 PM): *...it's still there, thankfully*
Besyanteo (9:04:24 PM): *follows his gaze*
CGNakibe (9:04:28 PM)
: Well, we aren't as bad off as could be expected, at least.
SongstressEnlil (9:04:28 PM): Did the distance seem to change? Or just the landscape?
Besyanteo (9:04:48 PM): Only the look of the land.
SongstressEnlil (9:05:01 PM)
: IM: If only I could make this approach toward Mechanus, what would I find?
Besyanteo (9:05:01 PM): I think...
Besyanteo (9:05:19 PM)
: We can use the Spire to mark our movement.
Besyanteo (9:05:22 PM)
: If we need to.
SongstressEnlil (9:05:49 PM)
: This seems reasonable.
SongstressEnlil (9:06:01 PM): Have you been able to sense the plums?
CGNakibe (9:06:02 PM): .... Hopefully that will work.
Besyanteo (9:06:07 PM): I have not.
CGNakibe (9:06:11 PM)
: Here's another good question.
SongstressEnlil (9:06:14 PM): A shame.
SongstressEnlil (9:06:17 PM): *to Guy*
CGNakibe (9:06:20 PM): Could you scent out the Traveller from here?
Besyanteo (9:06:47 PM): Only if he has been by in the last week.
Besyanteo (9:06:56 PM)
: Scents go old after some time.
SongstressEnlil (9:07:14 PM)
: This means you could conceivably follow our scent back?
Besyanteo (9:07:25 PM): It is...
SongstressEnlil (9:07:38 PM)
: Presuming the Hinterlands do not destroy it, of course.
Besyanteo (9:07:41 PM): possible. I would not rely on it. It would be better if we could mark out way some how.
Idran1701 (9:07:54 PM)
: ...If the land changes, how could we...what could we use to mark it?
SongstressEnlil (9:08:06 PM): *Grins* Let's move on. I think the Spire should be enough to help us get back.
Besyanteo (9:08:09 PM): Coins... flags...
Besyanteo (9:08:18 PM)
: piss.
CGNakibe (9:08:44 PM)
: Hm.
CGNakibe (9:08:52 PM): Better than breadcrumbs, that's for sure.
SongstressEnlil (9:08:56 PM): A downside to your spell of deflecting hunger and thirst, eh?
Idran1701 (9:09:08 PM): (...50 XP for Guy just for that suggestion.)
Besyanteo (9:09:22 PM): (I figured "Hey, they do it anyway."_
Besyanteo (9:09:30 PM)
: (*notes*)
Besyanteo (9:09:37 PM)
: Yes.
CGNakibe (9:09:43 PM)
: >.> Perhaps a minor setback, nothing more.
SongstressEnlil (9:09:52 PM): (Entirely IC.)
SongstressEnlil (9:10:20 PM): I would like to see those buildings, if no one objects. Perhaps the land wll kindly shift some plums near us.
Besyanteo (9:10:35 PM): *turns to look at the buildings!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:10:36 PM)
: Yeah, that's likely.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:10:38 PM): *Sarcasm!*
Idran1701 (9:10:49 PM): *from here, they're hazy once more*
Idran1701 (9:11:06 PM): *if he didn't know they were buildings, he still wouldn't be able to tell from here*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:11:08 PM): We might also find a little guy who gives us money just for finding him!
Besyanteo (9:11:37 PM): If the stories of the Hinterlands are true,
Besyanteo (9:11:39 PM)
: we might.
Besyanteo (9:11:44 PM)
: *starts walking for the buildings!*
CGNakibe (9:11:45 PM)
: Proving your thoughts still run the same direction even here.
Besyanteo (9:12:04 PM): (Also: Tingle? =D)
Idran1701 (9:12:19 PM)
: (Someone here would likely kill me.)
Idran1701 (9:12:30 PM): (Whether Pervy or Shini (or both), I don't know. :D)
CGNakibe (9:12:38 PM): (Don't leave out the dark horses. >.>0
Idran1701 (9:12:49 PM): (Heh.)
SongstressEnlil (9:12:51 PM): (I wouldn't! :D)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:13:24 PM): (I might!)
Besyanteo (9:13:41 PM): (Now I have to go find that comic)
Idran1701 (9:13:45 PM)
: *Thorn glances up to Lil, seemingly wondering if he should continue leading with Guy*
SongstressEnlil (9:13:56 PM): *Follows Guy*
OnlineHost (9:14:16 PM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 5-sided die: 5
Besyanteo (9:14:20 PM): ( http://fanboys-online.com/index.php?cid=205 )
OnlineHost (9:14:40 PM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Idran1701 (9:15:30 PM): (Hey, Tingle's not just a cosplayer.)
SongstressEnlil (9:15:32 PM): Hmmmm. You know, Lilium, perhaps you should try Arborea. Leprechauns are most likely to be found there, I think.
Idran1701 (9:15:33 PM): (He's an otherkin too!)
Idran1701 (9:15:36 PM): ("I'm a fairy!")
Besyanteo (9:16:31 PM): (... I'm laughign and crying)
Idran1701 (9:16:55 PM)
: *the group presses on; if the things ahead are what Guy says, it seems a good place for a camp timing-wise*
Idran1701 (9:17:15 PM): *darkness looks to be falling in only a few hours; perhaps 3 or 4, from the look of things*
CGNakibe (9:17:50 PM): (And the otherkin come out at night here...)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:17:53 PM): ..Huh?
Idran1701 (9:18:09 PM): *meanwhile, eventually, the group can make out enough details to see that yes, it is indeed a set of buildings*
Idran1701 (9:18:25 PM): *Though there's no signs of any sort of motion; strange, as it seems the size of a large village or small town*
SongstressEnlil (9:18:46 PM): *Examines the buildings, to see if he can identify the general architectural style and potential makers*
Idran1701 (9:20:13 PM): *Karl can't immediately appraise the buildings, but he gets a better look after a bit more travel through the silent plains, and...*
Idran1701 (9:20:38 PM): *...he can't tell. The style looks fairly generic, rigidly function before form.*
CGNakibe (9:20:46 PM): ... *and the silence continues on...*
Idran1701 (9:20:48 PM): *Perhaps once he gets even closer?*
SongstressEnlil (9:21:08 PM): *He'll do so!*
Besyanteo (9:22:04 PM): *following around, sniffing for the plums*
SongstressEnlil (9:22:05 PM)
: IM: Hmmmm. It would fit a changing land, accenting use before decoration. But it is too soon to draw conclusions.
Idran1701 (9:22:10 PM): *The minutes tick by into hours, and eventually, the group gets to the edge of the city*
Besyanteo (9:22:56 PM): *his ears perk,*
Idran1701 (9:23:00 PM)
: *...and the silence persists. It's quiet, dark...empty.*
Besyanteo (9:23:04 PM): *but he doesn't say or do anyhting else*
Idran1701 (9:23:06 PM)
: *No one's here.*
SongstressEnlil (9:23:26 PM): *Looking at the buildings, unless some motion or noise gets his attention*
CGNakibe (9:23:28 PM): ...Anything?
Idran1701 (9:23:29 PM): *Just the buildings, the roads, the occasional piece of statuary at each crossroad*
SongstressEnlil (9:23:45 PM): *Ooo, Statues*
Idran1701 (9:24:05 PM): *The buildings themselves are fairly stark, but the few stylistic trends are something he has no knowledge of at all*
Idran1701 (9:24:11 PM): (He checking those out?)
Besyanteo (9:24:18 PM): ... Yes. And no.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:24:21 PM)
: `*Stands*
Besyanteo (9:24:24 PM): ... We have to keep looking.
Idran1701 (9:24:51 PM)
: *it's starting to grow dark; a half hour, perhaps an hour before nightfall*
SongstressEnlil (9:24:53 PM): (Yep!)
Idran1701 (9:25:02 PM): *Karl approaches the statue, taking a closer look*
CGNakibe (9:26:11 PM): *nods* IM: You might want to keep... wait, you have eyes too, right?
Idran1701 (9:26:31 PM): *Most of the time*
Idran1701 (9:26:43 PM): *more chittering from somewhere on Arian's person*
SongstressEnlil (9:26:44 PM): *Circles around the statue* Hmm.
CGNakibe (9:27:41 PM): IM: Either way, don't hesitate to tell me if you see anything.
SongstressEnlil (9:27:59 PM): Curious they would make such basic homes, and then decorate with statues.
Idran1701 (9:28:08 PM): *Thorn takes a seat next to Lil, waiting to see what she wants*
SongstressEnlil (9:28:33 PM): I assume you smell nothing unusual, Guy?
Besyanteo (9:29:24 PM): ... That is the problem.
Besyanteo (9:29:33 PM)
: I smell NOTHING. And that is very unusual.
Besyanteo (9:29:47 PM)
: The buildsings do not rot.
Besyanteo (9:30:00 PM)
: Soit is not very old...
SongstressEnlil (9:30:03 PM)
: When you say nothing, you mean there is even an abscene of small things like the smell of the soil?
Besyanteo (9:30:07 PM): there is no spoiled food, so iis not new
Besyanteo (9:30:18 PM)
: there is no blood, and no dead.
CGNakibe (9:30:24 PM)
: ....
CGNakibe (9:30:29 PM): SO you're saying that there's nothing here?
Besyanteo (9:30:35 PM): Therareplants,anddirt.
CGNakibe (9:30:36 PM)
: Or at least seems like such?
Besyanteo (9:30:41 PM): (work,sapce bar!)
Besyanteo (9:30:45 PM)
: (... space.)
CGNakibe (9:30:52 PM)
: (Office Space? Because I need to see that)
Besyanteo (9:31:08 PM): The land feels and smeels normal.
Besyanteo (9:31:14 PM)
: The ciy...does not.
SongstressEnlil (9:31:22 PM)
: I can't put any sort of culture or race to this statue. It seems she is meant to be human-like from the build, but many races share such a build.
CGNakibe (9:32:04 PM): ..
CGNakibe (9:32:08 PM): *chuckles*
SongstressEnlil (9:32:09 PM): *Checks another*
CGNakibe (9:32:11 PM): A scent-less space.
CGNakibe (9:32:21 PM): With a form that changes.
Idran1701 (9:32:28 PM): *Karl moves on to the next crossroads, and finds a statue essentially identical*
SongstressEnlil (9:32:29 PM): My instinct suggests Githzerai, given they live in Limbo. But, frankly, there is no supporting evidence at all.
CGNakibe (9:32:30 PM): And a statue that's so generic as to be roughly ANYTHING>
Idran1701 (9:32:38 PM): *not a copy, but as much as one would expect from a sculptor*
CGNakibe (9:32:47 PM): Its like a story from home that I can't recall.
Besyanteo (9:33:11 PM): (brb, have toshut down explorer for a minute)
SongstressEnlil (9:33:37 PM)
: *Looks at the nearest building. Does the door hang open? Is there a door, or doorway!?*
Idran1701 (9:33:57 PM): *Both, yes, and the door does not hang open*
SongstressEnlil (9:34:31 PM): *Checks it!*
Idran1701 (9:34:34 PM): (The buildings here all look to be two-stories tall at least, with a couple slightly taller. They all look like homes as well, none seem to be designed to serve as businesses.)
(9:34:38 PM) Besyanteo has left the room.
Idran1701 (9:34:43 PM): (Pause for BEs?)
SongstressEnlil (9:34:48 PM): (Commies)
(9:34:55 PM) Besyanteo has entered the room.
SongstressEnlil (9:35:25 PM): (Faceless, Identical, no businesses. We got us some planar commies e_e)
Besyanteo (9:35:54 PM): (They must have had a hell of a time farming this land)
Idran1701 (9:36:13 PM)
: *The door's not locked, and opens freely. The inside's...not furnished.)
Idran1701 (9:36:16 PM): **
SongstressEnlil (9:36:26 PM): (They beat it with their hammers until it yeilded up beets and potatoes)
CGNakibe (9:36:28 PM): (This is the land controlled by Anon)
Besyanteo (9:36:44 PM): (OH SHI-)
SongstressEnlil (9:36:57 PM)
: (YELLOW VANS ARE THE ENEMY)
Idran1701 (9:37:01 PM): ...*looking around the city, a bit on edge*
SongstressEnlil (9:37:27 PM): IM: Hmmm, This would suggest that there is some age to this place. Or they simply did not believe in furniture.
Idran1701 (9:37:28 PM): ...Hmph. I think I'd still rather stay here than...than out in the open tonight.
SongstressEnlil (9:37:39 PM): *Carefully walks in, feeling less at ease than before.*
CGNakibe (9:37:46 PM): Are you sure?
Besyanteo (9:37:58 PM): *stays with the group!*
SongstressEnlil (9:38:35 PM)
: (Leprechaun: Hey, you found me. Have some golds. Karl: Yeehaw!)
Idran1701 (9:38:36 PM): At least here we're...we don't have to worry so much about being attacked...it's less open and all.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:38:50 PM): (Sorry. Taking cre of a couple things.)
Idran1701 (9:38:52 PM): *inside, Karl finds nothing especially unexpected*
CGNakibe (9:39:05 PM): Nothing seems to have taken the opportunity just yet.
Idran1701 (9:39:05 PM): *It looks like nothing more than a house without furniture or provisions*
CGNakibe (9:39:09 PM): I would hope that this trend would continue.
SongstressEnlil (9:40:00 PM): *Dusty? Other rooms or stairs upwards? Places for things to be set, like sconces and holes for racks?*
Idran1701 (9:40:25 PM): *stairs, yes, dust and mounting spots, no*
Idran1701 (9:40:58 PM): (Want us to pause for you, Shini? Or will it be a while?)
SongstressEnlil (9:41:01 PM): *Up the stairs! Perhaps more slowly and cautiously than is needed for an empty house*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:41:21 PM): (It might be a minute.)
Idran1701 (9:42:04 PM): (Kay. We'll pause until you're free or after five minutes, whichever comes first.)
SongstressEnlil (9:42:37 PM): IM: Do ghosts even happen in the Outer Planes?
SongstressEnlil (9:44:57 PM): (Music: Guardian Shrine: Wild ARMs OST)
CGNakibe (9:45:24 PM): (Ooooh. Good one)
SongstressEnlil (9:45:32 PM): (Indeed)
Besyanteo (9:46:58 PM): (Needsleep. Guy sniffs andstuff! I've handled things withIDran. Night folks. See you when I'm no half comatose)
SongstressEnlil (9:47:12 PM)
: (I'll comatate you!)
Idran1701 (9:47:15 PM): (Night, Bes.)
Idran1701 (9:47:28 PM): (Also: that's five minutes, so we'll go ahead and pick up. :O)
(9:47:48 PM) Besyanteo has left the room.
Idran1701 (9:47:52 PM): *Karl heads upstairs, but finds nothing else especially surprising. It's essentially the same up here as it is downstairs, it seems.*
SongstressEnlil (9:48:20 PM): *Do the rooms suggust any functions? Any hints of plumbing or waste disposal?*
Idran1701 (9:48:23 PM): I'd hope so too, but that's...it's not really something to rely on when you're out in the planes, honestly.
Idran1701 (9:48:56 PM): *Nope, they seem utterly unremarkable between one another*
SongstressEnlil (9:49:18 PM): *Any windows to peer from? Or roof access?*
Idran1701 (9:49:31 PM): *Windows yes, roof access no*
CGNakibe (9:49:39 PM): A good point.
Idran1701 (9:49:57 PM): *Nothing odd about the windows, though; no shutters, still glass-filled, they seem to open normally*
Idran1701 (9:50:14 PM): *On this side they look out on the street below, and Karl can spot the others talking*
SongstressEnlil (9:50:32 PM): *Looks out though them in each direction available! Both ahead and toward the street.*
Idran1701 (9:51:09 PM): *Nothing odd here. No weird direction distortions, no odd apparitions, no messages etched in the glass, just...windows*
Idran1701 (9:51:14 PM): *Nice view, actually.*
CGNakibe (9:51:35 PM): This is where we're staying, eh?
SongstressEnlil (9:51:58 PM): *Any sheds or latrines in the back yard that he can see?! In fact, do they seem to believe in back yards?*
Idran1701 (9:52:17 PM): *Nope to either; every building in the city's at least the size of this one*
Idran1701 (9:52:41 PM): *takes a seat against one of the buildings* I hope so.
SongstressEnlil (9:52:46 PM): IM: Did they not use the bath room?
SongstressEnlil (9:52:51 PM): *Wells?*
Idran1701 (9:53:15 PM): *Nope. No other structures of any kind that he can spot, besides the statues.*
Idran1701 (9:53:56 PM): ...I suppose we'll have a good amount of choice where, at least? *another forced chuckle*
SongstressEnlil (9:54:04 PM): *Out he goes. Less paranoid than before. Well, until he gets back the stairs. They tend to be cramped and shadowy and paranoia inducing*
SongstressEnlil (9:54:44 PM): *But eventually, back outside!*
Idran1701 (9:54:47 PM): *He emerges from the building soon enough, no ghosts screaming at him*
CGNakibe (9:55:20 PM): How does it look inside there?
SongstressEnlil (9:55:30 PM): Empty.
SongstressEnlil (9:55:54 PM): I was not even able to find mounts for shelves.
SongstressEnlil (9:56:24 PM): The windows are glass, which suggests they had a way to get it.
Idran1701 (9:56:34 PM): ...What do you think happened here?
CGNakibe (9:56:54 PM): I... don't know.
SongstressEnlil (9:56:55 PM): Curiously, there are no wells nor any sign of plumbing. Or any sign of a latrine that I could see.
SongstressEnlil (9:57:05 PM): I may not have looked far enough, though.
CGNakibe (9:57:05 PM): Hm.
SongstressEnlil (9:57:25 PM): (There we are: Theme of Guardian, that's the music for here)
CGNakibe (9:57:25 PM): Still.
CGNakibe (9:57:33 PM): Something about this place doesn't seem right.
Idran1701 (9:57:52 PM): Something about this...this entire realm doesn't.
SongstressEnlil (9:57:59 PM): Quite a few things do not. Accompany me further in? I'd like to see some of the taller buildings.
Idran1701 (9:58:01 PM): This is just another...oddity.
CGNakibe (9:58:07 PM): I was hoping to leave that unsaid, actually. >.>
CGNakibe (9:58:45 PM): And certainly. It's better than standing here.
SongstressEnlil (9:58:48 PM): *to Coffinmat* Tell me, do ghosts and similiar undead occur in the outer planes?
Idran1701 (9:59:16 PM): ...Ghosts? No, no, those...they're ethereal, there is no connection to that plane here.
Idran1701 (9:59:30 PM): Other undead, though? It's...er, it's less common.
Idran1701 (9:59:46 PM): Not without...you'd need conscious force behind the creation.
Idran1701 (10:00:07 PM): No...well, not many natural undead like you find elsewhere. No connection to the negative plane either, that...that is.
CGNakibe (10:00:11 PM): Like a greater power of some sort?
SongstressEnlil (10:00:17 PM): Ah. So lingering hatred and sorrow would not be enough? Excellent.
Idran1701 (10:00:31 PM): ...Not that strong...just some sort of creator like myself.
Idran1701 (10:00:45 PM): But no...no, not out here.
SongstressEnlil (10:00:53 PM): IM: Now he just has to be correct!
SongstressEnlil (10:00:58 PM): Thank you.
SongstressEnlil (10:01:06 PM): *TOWARD THE INNER PORTIONS!*
Idran1701 (10:01:45 PM): (How long'll the two of them be searching?)
SongstressEnlil (10:02:04 PM): (Guy can negate sleep, right? :D?)
Idran1701 (10:02:35 PM): (Afraid not. :( )
Idran1701 (10:02:39 PM): (Just hunger and thirst.)
SongstressEnlil (10:03:33 PM): (Okay, I want to invoke the avatar of the mechant and sell sleepiness to Lilium)
Idran1701 (10:03:41 PM): (Wrong system.)
Idran1701 (10:03:52 PM): (And Karl's not even close to that path. >:)
SongstressEnlil (10:04:00 PM): (HE CAN FAKE IT >:!)
SongstressEnlil (10:04:14 PM): (Anyways, long as it takes, really.)
Idran1701 (10:04:51 PM): (I'll just summarize what he finds until nightfall, then.)
Idran1701 (10:05:00 PM): (Or rather until he finally gets exhausted.)
Idran1701 (10:05:03 PM): (*ahem*)
Idran1701 (10:05:06 PM): ( )
CGNakibe (10:05:15 PM): (Bland. Grey. Featureless. Waste)
SongstressEnlil (10:05:16 PM): (He'll focus on the larger buildings. And try to get to the city center)
CGNakibe (10:05:19 PM): (Its like Pleasantville with slightly different tint. >;P)
CGNakibe (10:05:51 PM): (*doubts anyone here watched that movie aside from him* ._. )
Idran1701 (10:05:59 PM): (He can't even tell which one would be the city center, unfortunately. Every building has the layout of a residence, there's not even anything vaguely municipal-seeming.)
Idran1701 (10:06:04 PM): (And I did! I liked it.)
CGNakibe (10:06:18 PM): (It was good and I had to do a report on it)
Idran1701 (10:06:27 PM): (Heh. What class?)
CGNakibe (10:06:37 PM): (I believe it was one of my Sociology classes)
Idran1701 (10:06:42 PM): (*nod* Neat.)
SongstressEnlil (10:07:19 PM): (So the road design does not suggest a central area?)
Idran1701 (10:07:53 PM): (Nope; it's not grid-like or roads from a center, it's more haphazard like a village.)
Idran1701 (10:08:01 PM): (There is a center, of course, but there's nothing special about the building there.)
Idran1701 (10:08:07 PM): (Not that Karl can tell, at least.)
Idran1701 (10:08:26 PM): (When you said city center, I thought you meant like a council building. Sorry about that.)
SongstressEnlil (10:08:37 PM): (There were some said to be taller than two stories, yes?)
Idran1701 (10:08:54 PM): (Yep, but they're randomly strewn about. A couple three-story ones.)
CGNakibe (10:09:13 PM): (Welcome to Houston, please enjoy your stay)
SongstressEnlil (10:09:21 PM): (A couple of those will be checked, if he doesn't run out of gas before then)
Idran1701 (10:11:16 PM): (Okay, I'm gonna put things on hold here. Something kinda serious just came up for Shini. Not sure if he wants me to say what, but it's enough that he needs to put his full attention on it for now.)
Idran1701 (10:11:25 PM): (I'll still go ahead with your stuff, Pervy, but IC stuff, I mean.)
Idran1701 (10:11:36 PM): (Since he and Bes are both gone now.)
SongstressEnlil (10:11:53 PM): (Kay)
Idran1701 (10:12:00 PM): (Sorry, both of you.)
Idran1701 (10:12:42 PM): (Anyway, he doesn't find anything especially notable about the three story buildings either. He does get a better look at the roofs of the shorter ones from here, of course, but they seem flat and unremarkable.)
Idran1701 (10:12:58 PM): (In contrast to indoors, they do seem a bit dusty, though.)
SongstressEnlil (10:13:11 PM): (The roofs are dusty?)
Idran1701 (10:13:20 PM): (Yep.)
Idran1701 (10:13:26 PM): (Must not be much wind around here.)
SongstressEnlil (10:13:47 PM): (Are the building layouts identical? Or are there some variences?)
Idran1701 (10:13:50 PM): (...But then how would the dust get up there without wind? :O)
Idran1701 (10:13:52 PM): (Variences.)
Idran1701 (10:14:12 PM): (About like you'd expect given the time period. Not all built on the same building plan or anything.)
SongstressEnlil (10:14:47 PM): *Eventually!* Arian, if I ever meet someone from this culture, I think I am going to bop him on his nose-area with my staff, but I fear he wouldn't take not of it.
SongstressEnlil (10:14:55 PM): (Any more statues?*
Idran1701 (10:15:22 PM): (Yep. One on each crossroad. They seem oriented fairly arbitrarily, except that each one is facing another statue.)
Idran1701 (10:15:29 PM): (Not in a circuit or loop, though.)
SongstressEnlil (10:15:43 PM): (All virtually identical?)
Idran1701 (10:16:26 PM): (Not entirely. Those two seemed to just be coincidentally placed; some are male, some older, some younger. The same pose, same outfit, same facelessness though.)
Idran1701 (10:16:33 PM): (And they definitely look carved, not petrified.)
Idran1701 (10:16:51 PM): (There's not enough detail for the latter, but it's crisp enough that it hasn't just been worn.)
CGNakibe (10:17:00 PM): You might bore them that way.
SongstressEnlil (10:17:42 PM): They don't even have the decency to make the place flammable, so I can vent my frustration that way.
Idran1701 (10:17:58 PM): (I thought historians liked mysteries. :D)
Idran1701 (10:18:10 PM): (Oh, wait, they have to be solvable. I always forget that.)
SongstressEnlil (10:18:18 PM): (Fun mysteries. =[)
Idran1701 (10:18:30 PM): (He could at least get Robert Stack to narrate about it. :D)
SongstressEnlil (10:19:03 PM): All it seems is that they did not drink or excrete anything. I can't tell if those statues are supposed to be literal or symbolic.
SongstressEnlil (10:21:01 PM): No hint of any place to handle the dead, though I suppose they could have just been left to rot.
SongstressEnlil (10:21:21 PM): *Gestures toward the hinterlands vaguely.*
SongstressEnlil (10:22:05 PM): I suppose it could have been done in house, though. But that would suggest they'd wish to leave some sign.
CGNakibe (10:22:26 PM): We DO have one thing of note out of this.
SongstressEnlil (10:22:39 PM): Mm?
CGNakibe (10:22:51 PM): Nothing. In large amounts, and from nearly every angle.
SongstressEnlil (10:23:51 PM): I am not sure if I can credit this place with being borne in a condition akin to that of the Distortion. It's simply too well preserved.
CGNakibe (10:24:13 PM): Hm.
SongstressEnlil (10:24:35 PM): (Crier of Es-Annon: *Gets tears on Karl's books* Bastard!)
SongstressEnlil (10:25:37 PM): I suppose this could be something akin to it, but less wild. But I would need time and the proper materials to establish that.
CGNakibe (10:25:54 PM): Time. Spent in THIS place.
CGNakibe (10:26:02 PM): Sounds like a dangerous study to me.
SongstressEnlil (10:26:53 PM): Most studies of history are. Well, at least back home. Sigil, at least, seemed refreshingly open to the idea.
SongstressEnlil (10:30:09 PM): Personally, I wonder if such could be found in by approaching Mechanus.
SongstressEnlil (10:32:26 PM): I suppose, though, I should investigate Limbo a bit, before concluding these conditions resemble the distortion at all, and are not simply an aspect of the chaotic plane itself.
CGNakibe (10:32:47 PM): That would probably best be done AFTER we finished what we're doing here, I should think.
SongstressEnlil (10:33:04 PM): Potentially.
SongstressEnlil (10:33:57 PM): Once we are done, assuming the phoenix cannot lead us home, I may have to leave that search to you for a couple days while investigating those regions.
SongstressEnlil (10:35:58 PM): I say, you've practiced some draftmanship in the past, have you not?
CGNakibe (10:39:10 PM): I may have done it once or twice.
SongstressEnlil (10:40:05 PM): Could I convince you to sketch some of the things here? I expect we could exchange what we have found for a little gold, should we return to Sigil.
CGNakibe (10:40:27 PM): I believe I can do that, yes.
SongstressEnlil (10:41:11 PM): Excellent, it would be a shame to leave you without money after Lilium used what you had before.
SongstressEnlil (10:41:32 PM): IM: I wonder if we'll have to deal with that vampire?
SongstressEnlil (10:46:19 PM): (ARE WE DONE?)
Idran1701 (10:46:30 PM): (SURE)
Idran1701 (10:46:42 PM): (Up to you two if you want to keep going.)
SongstressEnlil (10:46:49 PM): (DID KARL GET LEVEL 2 OLD YET?)
Idran1701 (10:47:00 PM): (KARL IS ALREADY 2 OLD AS IT IS)
SongstressEnlil (10:48:36 PM): (MAYBE BUT CAN HE INFLICT IT ON THOSE WITH EVEN NUMBER LEVELS?)
Idran1701 (10:48:46 PM): (KARL IS TOO ODD TO DO THAT)
SongstressEnlil (10:49:54 PM): (I BET ARIAN HAS IT)
SongstressEnlil (10:51:21 PM): (DOESN'T HE!)
Idran1701 (10:52:20 PM): (ARIAN HAS LEVEL 5 FRIENDS AND LEVEL 3.7 ALARM)
Idran1701 (10:52:35 PM): (SINCE THIS ISN'T THE PLACE FOR YOUR CRAZY FF5 STUFF)
Idran1701 (10:52:40 PM): (GO BACK TO GALUF >:)
Idran1701 (10:53:03 PM): (OH WAIT HE'S DEAD)
Idran1701 (10:53:10 PM): (*burn*)
SongstressEnlil (10:53:26 PM): (LAME. ARIAN'S ALREADY LIKE A GODWALKER)
Idran1701 (10:54:07 PM): (I'LL WALK YOUR GOD!)
SongstressEnlil (10:54:26 PM): (MY GOD WILL WALK YOU OFF THE PLANK.)
SongstressEnlil (10:54:34 PM): (YOU KNOW EDWARD TEACH ASCENDED)
Idran1701 (10:55:18 PM): (YOU AREN'T EVEN TRYING TO MAKE SENTENCES ANYMORE)
SongstressEnlil (10:55:40 PM): (YOU'RE JUST MAD YOU CAN'T SQAURE ROOT A GODWALKER)
SongstressEnlil (10:55:51 PM): (AND THE OTHER THING TOO)
Idran1701 (10:56:18 PM): (SHAUN ISN'T EVEN READING THIS ANYMORE HE'S PROBABLY ASLEEP)
Idran1701 (10:56:35 PM): (LET'S MESS WITH ARIAN WHILE HE'S DISTRACTED)
SongstressEnlil (10:57:16 PM): (OKAY! LET'S REPLACE HIS SWALLOW WITH A GUISARME)
Idran1701 (10:57:35 PM): (I'M GIVING HIM A HANDLEBAR MUSTACHE AND MUTTONCHOPS)
SongstressEnlil (10:58:22 PM): (MAKE HIS FAMILIAR A TADPOLE)
Idran1701 (10:58:44 PM): (FROG OR TOAD?)
SongstressEnlil (10:59:47 PM): (FROG. ONE OF THE TINY ONES)
Idran1701 (10:59:54 PM): (PERFECT)
Idran1701 (11:00:11 PM): (LET'S GIVE HIM A RUSSIAN ACCENT BUT MAKE HIM SPEAK ONLY FRENCH)
SongstressEnlil (11:00:38 PM): (I LIKE IT!)
SongstressEnlil (11:00:47 PM): (AND HE ONLY EATS DAIRY PRODUCTS)
Idran1701 (11:01:01 PM): (GOAT DAIRY PRODUCTS)
SongstressEnlil (11:02:12 PM): (AND HE IS ALLERGIC TO GOAT WOOL. SO HE HAS TO GET IT FROM DIRE GOATS)
Idran1701 (11:02:24 PM): (DIRE GOATS STILL HAVE GOAT WOOL)
Idran1701 (11:02:29 PM): (HE HAS TO GET IT FROM FIENDISH GOATS)
Idran1701 (11:02:33 PM): (LIZARD GOATS)
Idran1701 (11:02:41 PM): (FIENDISH LIZARD GOATS)
CGNakibe (11:09:08 PM): (HAY WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?)
SongstressEnlil (11:09:37 PM): (IT DOESN'T MAKE A BIT OF DIFFERENCE. THE BALLS ARE INERT)
Idran1701 (11:10:02 PM): (PERVY DID IT)
CGNakibe (11:10:25 PM): (IT HAD BETTER PUT THOSE BALLS BACK RIGHT WHERE HE FOUND THEM. GET YOUR HANDS OFF THE BALLS)
SongstressEnlil (11:11:33 PM): (BIBRLALHABALHABLAH ABLAHABLAH!)
Idran1701 (11:11:49 PM): (YOU MADE HIM THROW A TANTRUM SHAUN)
Idran1701 (11:11:51 PM): (GOOD GOING)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:17:10 PM): (Pervy always throws tantrum.)
CGNakibe (11:17:29 PM)
: (It keeps coming back, so I suppose eh.)
SongstressEnlil (11:17:54 PM): (Shini throws plates. Because he's always hanging around Jewish weddings)
(11:31:14 PM) SongstressEnlil has left the room.
