(7:58:40 PM) NebbieQ has entered the room.
(7:58:41 PM) Brodzky Zero has entered the room.
(7:58:48 PM) TheWaiChibiAngel has entered the room.
(7:58:49 PM) SongstressEnlil has entered the room.
Idran1701 (7:59:00 PM): Hey, all. I'm going to give Shaun a half-hour, but I'm going to start anyway if he's not around by then.
Brodzky Zero (7:59:10 PM): *Until then we can run laps around Sigil*
Brodzky Zero (8:00:18 PM): *One*
Besyanteo (8:00:24 PM): Guy: Ha HA! Race you all!
Brodzky Zero (8:00:47 PM): *Until Guy ran into Microbe*
Besyanteo (8:01:33 PM): Fuck Microbe. He's fucking microscopic.
Brodzky Zero (8:01:39 PM): *No he ain't.*
Besyanteo (8:01:44 PM): >:
Brodzky Zero (8:01:48 PM): *He be all like, walkin' around temples and such*
Brodzky Zero (8:02:01 PM): *Him and Foxcrobe*
Idran1701 (8:02:10 PM): I've seen it!
Brodzky Zero (8:03:00 PM): *I have a severe headache and my eyes hurt and my nasal passages are cemented shut, so let me take this handful of pills and wash it down with mystical chemicals.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:03:30 PM): *Oh yeah?*
Brodzky Zero (8:03:48 PM)
: *Yeah.*
Besyanteo (8:04:04 PM): Now I'm imagining Zero taking a Mana Potion with them.
Brodzky Zero (8:04:16 PM): *Squaresoft brand Potion*
Brodzky Zero (8:04:21 PM): *Now with taurine!*
SongstressEnlil (8:04:34 PM): *Taurine is made from Taurens.*
Brodzky Zero (8:04:38 PM): *And Tareens*
SongstressEnlil (8:04:41 PM): *The Taurens do not survive the process*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:04:58 PM): *You don't wanna drink Tareen :(*
SongstressEnlil (8:05:06 PM)
: *Will found that out*
SongstressEnlil (8:05:09 PM): *Sorta*
Brodzky Zero (8:06:09 PM): *Hey I just found a canister of mixed nuts.*
Brodzky Zero (8:06:17 PM): *Who wants to buy it off me?*
Besyanteo (8:06:27 PM): I heards that FF Potion tastes horrid.
Besyanteo (8:06:35 PM): Zero! Tell us what your findings are?
Brodzky Zero (8:06:42 PM): *Oh, I was just joking.*
Besyanteo (8:06:50 PM): Ah. Oh well.
Brodzky Zero (8:06:52 PM): *My potion is actually dollar store cough medicine.*
Besyanteo (8:07:18 PM): Also: I would by a drink made from Taurens. I wouldn't drink it, it would just sit on a shelf in my home somewhere.
Besyanteo (8:07:26 PM): Hopefully disturbing people who noticed it.
Brodzky Zero (8:07:36 PM): *These mixed nuts are 99% peanuts and I see one cashew.*
Idran1701 (8:07:41 PM): Tiny horns floating around like Bawls?
Brodzky Zero (8:07:54 PM): *Bawls doesn't have stuff floating in it.*
Idran1701 (8:07:59 PM): What am I thinking of?
Idran1701 (8:08:03 PM): The one with candy in it.
Brodzky Zero (8:08:04 PM): *Orbitz or whatever.*
Idran1701 (8:08:06 PM): That's it.
Besyanteo (8:08:15 PM): Orbitz soda? What the fuck? *googles*
Brodzky Zero (8:08:19 PM): *Erik swears it was a good concept implented poorlt.*
Idran1701 (8:08:34 PM): http://joelavin.com/orbitz.html
Besyanteo (8:08:53 PM): ... Yeah, that could work.
Besyanteo (8:09:02 PM): Clear red soda with little horns in it
SongstressEnlil (8:09:07 PM): *People say he's rather macabre, but Bes has the heart of a young boy. He keeps it on his desk.*
Besyanteo (8:09:16 PM): =D!
Idran1701 (8:10:22 PM): Heh.
Besyanteo (8:10:30 PM): I'm blessed with a sense of imagination that suffers from Glaucoma. Most of what I think up appears as text in my head instead of real imagery; So I can throw together things that make people's stomaches turn without flinching.
Besyanteo (8:10:33 PM): Nine times out of ten.
Besyanteo (8:10:45 PM): That tenth time is what kills me. :-/
Besyanteo (8:10:55 PM): Fuck you 4chan, fuck you leech fingers!
SongstressEnlil (8:11:07 PM): *Kekekekeke*
Brodzky Zero (8:11:18 PM): *You weirdos and your imageboards.*
SongstressEnlil (8:11:36 PM): *Shappud goon*
Brodzky Zero (8:11:44 PM): *4chan is run by a Goon you goon*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:12:01 PM): *Which means it's about the same.*
Brodzky Zero (8:13:58 PM)
: *For the past month or so I've been using my Nintendo DS as an alarm clock*
Idran1701 (8:14:03 PM): As have I.
Brodzky Zero (8:14:11 PM): *And then playing Tetris until the shower is free.*
Brodzky Zero (8:14:38 PM): *My bedside clock doesn't wake me up anymore and my cellphone alarm is fickle*
Besyanteo (8:14:41 PM): I have an alarm clock radio in my room; I've had it since 1994,
Brodzky Zero (8:14:49 PM): *Hahaha*
Besyanteo (8:14:50 PM): and sometimes it goes off randomly. About once every 6 months.
Idran1701 (8:14:57 PM): Heh.
Brodzky Zero (8:15:01 PM): *I.. I had an Alarm Clock I won in a contest from Surge (the soda)*
Brodzky Zero (8:15:07 PM): *It worked so well I was afraid of it*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:15:12 PM): *For the last mongth and a half, I've been paid to play DS at work*
Brodzky Zero (8:15:17 PM)
: *THe first time I heard it go off I thought someone was murdering a cat.*
Besyanteo (8:15:32 PM): Chris: Wha?
NebbieQ (8:15:37 PM): Relay Center
NebbieQ (8:15:48 PM): He's working on a new system that doesn't have a lot of people on it, so! FUCK YEAH FREE TIME
Besyanteo (8:15:48 PM): Zero: My Sister bought a Chibi Goku alarm clock about 5 years ago.
Besyanteo (8:15:56 PM): She is no longer allowed to set it:
Brodzky Zero (8:15:57 PM): *Buyer's remorse?*
Brodzky Zero (8:16:01 PM): *Hahahahah*
Besyanteo (8:16:10 PM): It's the most annoying thing ever, and it can be heard all over the house
Besyanteo (8:16:15 PM): it is loud as hell
Besyanteo (8:16:16 PM): ;-;
NebbieQ (8:16:19 PM): :(
Idran1701 (8:16:22 PM): Heh.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:16:24 PM): *The system I'm on is like talking to Yari Koneko.*
Idran1701 (8:16:34 PM)
: Shini: How's that?
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:16:37 PM): *Every now and then, something happens, but for the most part it's a lot of "Whoops, I shouldn't be talking to you."*
Besyanteo (8:16:37 PM)
: This already sounds bad
Besyanteo (8:16:45 PM): :(
Brodzky Zero (8:17:31 PM): *There's a deaf kid at work now he's pretty cool*
Brodzky Zero (8:17:57 PM): *It's fun trying to decode his notes, as ASL grammar seems to be insideout normal grammar.*
Idran1701 (8:18:14 PM): Huh. Neat.
NebbieQ (8:18:16 PM): Zero: You get used to it!
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:18:21 PM): *ASL Grammar is like being fucked backwards up a flight of stairs.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:18:41 PM)
: *Your brain wants to scream "THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING THIS WAY" but it cannot.*
Idran1701 (8:18:47 PM)
: Heh.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:18:57 PM): *Also, Shini's basic rule of thumb*
Brodzky Zero (8:19:06 PM)
: *He wrote something like "go solo have good small skill work plan shelf maker" or something for asking if he could go clean off some shelves.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:19:09 PM): *If the deaf person can use their voice, they're okay. If they can't, they're assholes.*
Brodzky Zero (8:19:50 PM)
: *Eh. Kid at Work can't talk at all but he's nice.*
NebbieQ (8:20:14 PM): Shini is merely translated that people at Relay have to translate ASL speak to other people
NebbieQ (8:20:21 PM): And sometimes, misunderstandings happen
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:20:38 PM): *I sure the fuck am translated!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:20:45 PM)
: *I'm translated as hell and I'm not gonna translate ANYMORE*
Brodzky Zero (8:20:47 PM)
: *Shini you should get that checked*
NebbieQ (8:20:55 PM): But Zero it is a job requirement :(
Brodzky Zero (8:21:01 PM): *CHECKED*
NebbieQ (8:21:02 PM): Why you gotta be taking away his livelihood
Brodzky Zero (8:21:19 PM): *Because he's stealing jobs from computers*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:21:20 PM): *To put it bluntly, part of the training is learning to translate it.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:21:28 PM)
: *And even then sometimes I give up.*
Brodzky Zero (8:21:39 PM)
: *So you just fill in the blanks with whatever you feel like?*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:21:50 PM): *No, I read word for word.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:21:57 PM)
: *And hope that the person on the other end can figure it out.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:21:59 PM)
: *ALSO NEB :(*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:22:05 PM)
: *Penny got mad at me for calling you a fucko :(*
Besyanteo (8:22:16 PM)
: "And that's when I corncobb." "... what?"
NebbieQ (8:22:29 PM): Well that was your fault for calling me one :(
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:22:40 PM): *I'm just saying*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:22:50 PM)
: *Apparantly it was "Fucko", not the "Fuck off" part before it that did me in.*
Besyanteo (8:22:55 PM)
: I love you both, but I'm never going to get used to the way you two interact.
Brodzky Zero (8:22:56 PM): *Yeah, profanislang does not belong in the workplace until at least 30 minutes until closing time.*
Idran1701 (8:23:10 PM): Heh. :D
NebbieQ (8:23:16 PM): Apparently that caused some confusion with Doug earlier
NebbieQ (8:23:25 PM): I told him about financial aid, and how he shoudl do it RIGHT FUCKING NOW
NebbieQ (8:23:41 PM): And then I had to explain to him how swearing wasn't a sign of annoyance
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:23:51 PM): *See, Zero, our workplace is laid back*
NebbieQ (8:23:57 PM)
: Very laid back
Besyanteo (8:24:02 PM): ... Yeah, the thing about Doug is that he's emotionally immature and trying really REALLY hard not to be, and it comes out as him turning itno a sort of human chihuahua.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:24:28 PM): *me and the guy I generally sit with talk so much shit to eachother and nobody cares.*
Besyanteo (8:24:29 PM)
: He thinks everything he does is offensive and everything anyone says to him conveys annoyance
Besyanteo (8:24:41 PM): I blame his mother. :(
NebbieQ (8:24:42 PM): "Actually me and Shini call each other MOTHERFUCKER all the time" "...well that explains a lot"
NebbieQ (8:24:50 PM): That was the conversation in a nutshell
Idran1701 (8:24:51 PM): Bes: I honestly know the feeling, myself.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:24:54 PM): *MOtherfucker.*
NebbieQ (8:25:07 PM)
: Bitchtits
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:25:19 PM): *Better bitchtits than hamtits.*
NebbieQ (8:25:28 PM)
: You take that back asshonkey
Besyanteo (8:25:33 PM): Now see, I get this part. When they're talking? I get it.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:25:42 PM): *Bacon Egg and Cheesetits.*
Besyanteo (8:25:48 PM)
: It's when they start slapping that it's out of my depth.
NebbieQ (8:25:58 PM): Sausage McFuckington
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:26:11 PM): *I told Zack about how I'll often knock on Neb's door specifically to smack her in the face.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:26:15 PM)
: *He wondered how I'm not in prison.*
NebbieQ (8:26:32 PM)
: You see, shit like this is why I ignore it when you knock on my door
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:26:46 PM): *Yeah, for two minutes. You eventually open it.*
NebbieQ (8:27:02 PM)
: That's because you don't stop
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:27:12 PM): *I do when you open the damn door!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:27:13 PM)
: *:D*
NebbieQ (8:27:26 PM)
: >:(
Besyanteo (8:27:49 PM): Eventually one of them will tackle the other,
Besyanteo (8:27:55 PM): and I won't know if they're serious or not yet.
NebbieQ (8:28:11 PM): Well that already happened once
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:28:15 PM): *It's mostly serious when she knees me in the groin.*
Besyanteo (8:28:16 PM)
: ... SEE?!
NebbieQ (8:28:16 PM): It was pain for everyone involved
NebbieQ (8:28:20 PM): Mostly Shini
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:28:31 PM): *Kneed me in the groin and twisted my leg backwards. :(*
Idran1701 (8:28:38 PM)
: What'd you do? :(
NebbieQ (8:28:42 PM): And hey, I didn't knee you in the groin. I punched you in the groin.
NebbieQ (8:29:00 PM): Big difference.
Besyanteo (8:29:31 PM): ... I'm resisting a plethora of short jokes. :(
NebbieQ (8:30:16 PM): And Idran: I meant to punch him in the stomach, but somehow I missed.
Besyanteo (8:30:18 PM): Actually, that's something else on my mind recently: The average height for American men is supposed to be something like 5'10" or whatever
NebbieQ (8:30:21 PM): That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Besyanteo (8:30:30 PM): But most guys I know are my height or better
Besyanteo (8:30:36 PM): so are we all freakish giants or what?
Idran1701 (8:30:44 PM): Bes: I think the average height is closer to 6'0" or so.
NebbieQ (8:30:50 PM): Well my family's a bit closer to 5'10".
Brodzky Zero (8:31:10 PM): *People closer to the equator are shorter.*
Brodzky Zero (8:31:18 PM): *Or was it taller.*
Idran1701 (8:31:21 PM): ...Huh, no, you're right Bes.
Idran1701 (8:31:31 PM): 5'10.6" for white people 20-39 in the US.
Idran1701 (8:31:36 PM): *10.2
Idran1701 (8:31:46 PM): So I guess we are, Bes.
Besyanteo (8:32:15 PM): :(!!
Besyanteo (8:32:23 PM): PERVY
Brodzky Zero (8:32:26 PM): *I am short :D!*
Besyanteo (8:32:27 PM): FETCH BONSAI TREES
Besyanteo (8:32:36 PM): We are now Muties. *sage nod*
Idran1701 (8:32:52 PM): Ahem. Mutant-Americans. >:
Brodzky Zero (8:33:01 PM): *MUTOS*
NebbieQ (8:33:07 PM): Thank you for your cultural sensitivity, Idran.
Brodzky Zero (8:33:47 PM): *Idran's mutant power is that his neurons are arranged like a nanoscale abacus*
Brodzky Zero (8:34:01 PM): *If you listen close you can hear it go all clicky clack*
Idran1701 (8:34:46 PM): Anyway! Everyone good to start? :O
Besyanteo (8:34:49 PM): That would be awesome. I could ask him to calculate pi to the millionth place and he'd just spit it out. ... For four hours.
Besyanteo (8:34:59 PM): Also: Yes!
Idran1701 (8:35:04 PM): Bes: You want it?
Brodzky Zero (8:35:18 PM): *After that I'll take e to the millionth digit please.*
Besyanteo (8:35:22 PM): No, mostly joking. I know it's on the web now.
Besyanteo (8:35:45 PM): also: I thought E had an end point?
Idran1701 (8:35:48 PM): Nope.
Besyanteo (8:35:49 PM): er, 'e'
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:35:54 PM): *NEVER*
Idran1701 (8:36:26 PM)
: Zero/Neb? :O
SongstressEnlil (8:36:36 PM): *Mmmm, macaroni*
Brodzky Zero (8:36:41 PM): *Hey what*
NebbieQ (8:37:11 PM): Ready
Idran1701 (8:37:24 PM): <Then we shall begin!>
Idran1701 (8:38:24 PM): It's some hours since the confrontation with the Keepers, now late into the evening in Sigil. Guy returns from his research expedition, notes in mouth, but Karl is yet to reveal himself.
Besyanteo (8:39:14 PM): IM: ... Oh dear. Arian isn't around. That's unfortunate.
Idran1701 (8:39:30 PM)
: Upstairs, Davey's just recently drifted off to sleep, tired out from the trip back and recent events.
Besyanteo (8:39:33 PM): (No wait. Karl.)
Idran1701 (8:39:46 PM)
: (Though Arian's not around either. :D)
Besyanteo (8:39:52 PM): (Both then!)
Brodzky Zero (8:39:54 PM)
: (Bleep bloop)
Besyanteo (8:40:27 PM): IM: And Karl... I'd hoped he could help explain some of this.
Besyanteo (8:40:33 PM)
: IM: But it shouldn't wait.
Besyanteo (8:40:39 PM)
: *Who is at the table?!*
Idran1701 (8:40:44 PM)
: Martillo's returned some time back from a head-clearing bit of charity in the city, and First?
Idran1701 (8:41:48 PM): (Zero? I can assume First is downstairs as well, yes?)
Brodzky Zero (8:41:53 PM): (Sure)
Idran1701 (8:42:01 PM): (And Shini? :O)
Brodzky Zero (8:42:26 PM): *Is sitting in a corner, praying to the blue stone idol*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:43:26 PM): *Is in the main room, having seen Davey off to sleep.*
Besyanteo (8:44:24 PM): *he sort of jumps/stands, front legs landing on the table to support him. He puts down a nicely bound, thin book that the others haven't seen before*
Besyanteo (8:44:43 PM)
: (... fucking fuck. Idran?)
Besyanteo (8:44:48 PM)
: (What are they called again? :( )
Besyanteo (8:44:57 PM)
: (The bad guys. Sorta.)
Idran1701 (8:44:58 PM)
: (Keepers!)
Besyanteo (8:45:06 PM): I have learned more about the Keepers.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:45:23 PM)
: And?
NebbieQ (8:45:41 PM): Do you know what they seek?
Besyanteo (8:45:48 PM)
: *he noses the book forward*
Besyanteo (8:46:02 PM)
: I had what I discovered bound.
SongstressEnlil (8:46:07 PM)
: (That's such a cute mental image)
Besyanteo (8:46:11 PM): (=D)
Besyanteo (8:46:30 PM)
: ("Delivering intelligence sir! May I have a treat, sir?")
Idran1701 (8:46:36 PM)
: (Heh. :D)
Besyanteo (8:47:28 PM): (Also: I am a bad person and forgot everything Guy learned.)
Brodzky Zero (8:47:31 PM)
: *Stops his praying abruptly, packs up his idol, and stands*
Idran1701 (8:47:39 PM): (:( )
Idran1701 (8:47:44 PM): (A moment! I'll grab the log.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:47:50 PM): *Takes the book!*
SongstressEnlil (8:47:51 PM): (Well no treat, then)
Brodzky Zero (8:48:19 PM): Are we to be moving forward now?
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:48:53 PM): No, go back to talking to your pet rocks.
Brodzky Zero (8:49:46 PM): I do not have a pet.
Besyanteo (8:50:00 PM): (getting the log~)
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:50:07 PM)
: Okay, go back to talking to your rock friends?
Brodzky Zero (8:50:33 PM): I do not have rock friends.
Besyanteo (8:51:01 PM): (Roit)
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:51:16 PM)
: Okay, just go back to doing whatever, then.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:51:30 PM): *Begins flipping through the book*
Besyanteo (8:51:33 PM): *The book has some fairly short and to the point notes!*
NebbieQ (8:51:34 PM)
: It is no mere rock, Lillium.
NebbieQ (8:51:38 PM)
: *Peeks over at the book*
Besyanteo (8:51:39 PM)
: *Information time!*
Brodzky Zero (8:51:55 PM)
: *Goes over to the section of the table that has been home to the fiery statue*
Brodzky Zero (8:52:04 PM): *And begins bowing to it.*
Besyanteo (8:52:31 PM): *They're an uncommon race, generally only showing up when something happens relating to "forbidden knowledge". Aparently, they're focus is in making sure that such knowledge doesn't become common knowledge*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:53:04 PM)
: ...Right.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:53:07 PM): So, uh.
Besyanteo (8:53:09 PM): *Their origins are unknown, as are their bases of operation*
Besyanteo (8:53:27 PM)
: *Mannerisms!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:53:35 PM)
: I gathered what this is saying by fighting with them for, like, two minutes.
Besyanteo (8:53:52 PM): *They don't quite seem to understand how normal folks act, and will someitmes mime it poorly*
Besyanteo (8:54:08 PM)
: *a given example is a case where one of them was seen...*
Besyanteo (8:54:12 PM)
: (where is it...)
Brodzky Zero (8:54:16 PM)
: (First: Who, me?)
Besyanteo (8:54:32 PM): *eatting a hunk of bread with a knife and fork,*
Besyanteo (8:54:46 PM)
: * and examining the quality of a curtain in a tailor's shop.*
Besyanteo (8:55:04 PM)
: *Whatever disguises they might use, they always have the goggles*
Besyanteo (8:55:19 PM)
: *and they don't bother with that often*
Besyanteo (8:55:29 PM)
: *Ties: *
Besyanteo (8:55:40 PM)
: *Fraternity of Order, a Sigil Faction.*
Besyanteo (8:55:49 PM)
: *There's a pamphlet tucket into this page!*
Besyanteo (8:55:55 PM)
: *for the Fraternity of Order!*
NebbieQ (8:55:59 PM)
: *Raises his eyebrows, and picks it up*
NebbieQ (8:56:08 PM)
: *..n.ot that one can notice under the mask*
Besyanteo (8:56:11 PM)
: (I don't ahve the info on that myself Idran?)
Besyanteo (8:56:34 PM)
: (no wait)
Besyanteo (8:56:36 PM)
: (Yes I do)
Besyanteo (8:56:55 PM)
: *Notes on the Fraternity of Order! Also, there's some of this in the Pamphlet*
Besyanteo (8:57:11 PM)
: *They're dedicated to discovering the "Rules and Laws behind Existence",*
Besyanteo (8:57:18 PM)
: *and especially the loopholes ins uch*
Besyanteo (8:57:32 PM)
: *And possibly exploiting those loopholes*
Besyanteo (8:57:56 PM)
: *They're also part of one of the Three Pillars of Law Enforcement, involved in running the Court System*
Besyanteo (8:58:36 PM)
: *Based in the City Court in the Lady's Ward, they record the laws in Sigil, as well as just about all other facts about it and anywhere else, as well as seeing cases and providing services as advocates.*
Besyanteo (8:58:52 PM)
: *They call themselves the first faction in Sigil, as they were the first to officially incorporate in the city just under a millenium ago.*
Besyanteo (8:59:05 PM)
: *They don't feature all that much in the kriegstanz, the never-ending political maneuvering and backstabbing amongst the 15 factions as each tries to gain power over the others, as most of their attention is focused outside Sigil.*
Besyanteo (8:59:15 PM)
: *Beyond their headquarters here, they're largely based on Mechanus, where their largest outpost in investigating the nature of existence is found.*
Besyanteo (8:59:36 PM)
: *As said before, part of their goal is finding loopholes in the laws of existence. The highest-ranked of the Guvners (a common nickname for the Fraternity of Order and its members) are those that have succeeded. *
Besyanteo (8:59:44 PM)
: *They've discovered a way to slip through the laws that govern reality to their advantage, creating an effect that's both more limited than magic and more powerful. *
Idran1701 (8:59:52 PM)
: *Lil may remember Mechanus, the plane of never-ending gears in all directions; one of the places on their trip with the merchant's caravan some time back.*
Besyanteo (9:00:02 PM): *Accomplishing some specific task by exploiting these loopholes that cannot be circumvented except through its limited number of uses; use one too much, and the universe "catches wise"-- *
Besyanteo (9:00:10 PM)
: *and closes it off. Things like popping 30 feet forward in a single step, popping open a temporary hole to another specific plane, cutting gravity from an object long enough to fly in the short-term anywhere, etc.*
Besyanteo (9:00:20 PM)
: *While this might seem impressive and evidence of the truth behind the Guvner's philosophy on first glance, all factions gain some sort of power purely by force of their belief. The Guvners are just more regimented about it.*
Besyanteo (9:00:39 PM)
: *Despite these abilities, however, the Guvners insist they do not learn laws in order to break them. Instead, they claim, what they do is learn the limits of laws, both social and physical,--*
Besyanteo (9:00:45 PM)
: * such that they can simultaneously avoid them and stay within their bounds.*
Besyanteo (9:01:04 PM)
: *This expresses itself in their ultimate goal; learning enough of the nature of reality to truly run the multiverse,*
Besyanteo (9:01:11 PM)
: *not through power, ritual, or trickery, but through pure order. Like controlling a clock by manipulating its gears.*
Besyanteo (9:01:22 PM)
: *it ends*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:01:38 PM)
: Oookay.
Besyanteo (9:02:13 PM): Unless I misunderstand,
NebbieQ (9:02:15 PM)
: *Frowns, and crushes the pamphlet in his hand*
Besyanteo (9:02:30 PM)
: This means we've assaulted and... 'killed' Sigil law officials.
Besyanteo (9:02:47 PM)
: Not that they care very much about dying...
NebbieQ (9:03:04 PM)
: *sighs* Sweet blessed Maihen...
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:03:29 PM)
: Killed them my ass.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:03:39 PM): And we're not in shit yet.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:03:51 PM): I doubt their official anyway.
NebbieQ (9:04:24 PM): Still, it would be wise to keep our eyes and ears open
Besyanteo (9:04:25 PM)
: *He gets back down from the table, and sits*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:04:28 PM)
: Yep, I'm right.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:04:36 PM): They're not official; they're not even trained.
Besyanteo (9:04:46 PM): ... *cocks his head to one side*
NebbieQ (9:05:38 PM)
: But they still have members in the law enforcement.
Brodzky Zero (9:05:40 PM)
: *Stops praying again, looks around.*
Besyanteo (9:06:25 PM): (First: *grabs MEgaphone* PRAYYING HERE, ASSHOLES.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:06:38 PM)
: But they're not the law enforcement.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:06:58 PM): IF they were, they would've known how to throw a fight right.
Brodzky Zero (9:07:03 PM): Who?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:07:23 PM): Anyway, I'm thinking we should look into this society of clocks or whatever.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:07:26 PM): *Mumbles something.*
NebbieQ (9:09:08 PM): Hmn. But what does Karl have to say about this?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:09:53 PM)
: Doesn't matter; he ain't here.
NebbieQ (9:10:44 PM): *Frowns* They were chasing him down, though. T he least we can do is offer a warning.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:10:52 PM)
: Okay.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:10:55 PM): Know where he is?
Besyanteo (9:11:05 PM): *left ear flick* I was just going to ask that.
OnlineHost (9:11:10 PM)
: NebbieQ rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:11:18 PM): (HE'S RIGHT THERE.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:11:20 PM): (GOD.)
Besyanteo (9:11:22 PM): (OH FUCK)
Brodzky Zero (9:11:59 PM)
: (HE WAS THE IDOL!)
NebbieQ (9:12:34 PM): *sighs* I was hoping one of you would know, in all honesty.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:12:46 PM)
: Yeah, that's what I thought.
Besyanteo (9:12:48 PM): (NOw watch: He'll come back,)
Besyanteo (9:12:58 PM)
: (And claim he told everyone where he was going.)
Besyanteo (9:13:05 PM)
: (I bet none of us would remember if he had. :o)
Besyanteo (9:13:13 PM)
: (I know I wouldn't!)
Idran1701 (9:13:17 PM)
: (Heh.)
SongstressEnlil (9:13:31 PM)
: ( :D)
(9:13:36 PM) Brodzky Zero has left the room.
Idran1701 (9:13:51 PM): (Pause for Zero :O)
Besyanteo (9:14:51 PM)
: (I can't remember who that font is for. Kyle keeps popping into my head.)
(9:14:54 PM) Brodzky Zero
has entered the room.
Brodzky Zero (9:15:17 PM): (First told everyone Karl's location but if it didn't get through I can't be bothered to type it again)
Idran1701 (9:15:17 PM): (I think this is Kyle's actually. Zero, isn't this his font?)
Brodzky Zero (9:15:24 PM)
: (What?)
Idran1701 (9:15:36 PM): (Bes was trying to figure out whose font this is, and he thought it was Kyle's. :O)
Brodzky Zero (9:15:43 PM)
: (Kyle's is that color yeah)
Brodzky Zero (9:15:57 PM): (The top orange, not the bottom. They are opposed!)
Idran1701 (9:16:02 PM): (Bes: I stole him for this game. Don't tell Zero.)
Besyanteo (9:16:13 PM)
: (Righto)
Idran1701 (9:16:18 PM)
: (Anyway, unpause since he's back!)
Brodzky Zero (9:16:20 PM)
: (Well, Kylitos is a secret planeswalker)
Brodzky Zero (9:17:36 PM): (What level does First get his ethereal dire celestial winged aurochs again?)
Besyanteo (9:17:53 PM): (42.)
Brodzky Zero (9:17:58 PM)
: (Aha)
Idran1701 (9:17:58 PM): (Or, if no one has anything else to say, is that the plan; to head out to the Fraternity of Order's HQ?)
Besyanteo (9:18:21 PM)
: *he looks from person to person*
Brodzky Zero (9:18:26 PM)
: What?
Besyanteo (9:18:54 PM): Should we turn in for the night, or do you feel up to investigating more?
Besyanteo (9:19:03 PM)
: (They HAVE been up all day so far. =P)
Brodzky Zero (9:20:06 PM)
: Let us move onwards.
NebbieQ (9:20:31 PM): If we wait for too long, we only give them more time for their misdeeds
Brodzky Zero (9:21:16 PM)
: Let us destroy them.
Besyanteo (9:21:37 PM): That's a little extreme.
Besyanteo (9:21:47 PM)
: ... At the moment, anyway.
NebbieQ (9:21:55 PM)
: All in good time, my friend.
Brodzky Zero (9:22:17 PM)
: Let us seek them out and have them bear witness to the power and glory of the Creator.
Besyanteo (9:22:45 PM): ... *his ears flatten*
Besyanteo (9:22:54 PM)
: IM: To the what?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:23:11 PM)
: ...Right.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:23:13 PM): Ignoring that guy.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:23:28 PM): They won't be back anytime soon, might as well rest up.
NebbieQ (9:24:14 PM): Guy, how do youf eel about this?
Besyanteo (9:26:22 PM)
: I would just as soon sleep now and get an early morning.
Idran1701 (9:28:32 PM)
: (That seems like a general consensus. Shall we timeskip on to morning, then? :O)
Brodzky Zero (9:28:52 PM)
: (Sure)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:29:39 PM): (WHY?*
Idran1701 (9:29:52 PM): (DO YOU HAVE MORE STUFF TO DO?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:30:11 PM)
: (WHY MUST WE TIMESKIP >: )
Besyanteo (9:30:19 PM): (SHINI IS RIGHT!)
Besyanteo (9:30:27 PM)
: (LET US ALL RP SLEEPING FOR EIGHT HOURS!)
Besyanteo (9:30:30 PM)
: (BEGIN!)
Brodzky Zero (9:30:46 PM)
: *First starts off his eight hour sleep period by praying.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:31:09 PM): *Spends a good hour punching and kicking at air!*
NebbieQ (9:31:32 PM): *Prays his nightly devotionals!*
Brodzky Zero (9:32:00 PM)
: *Begins meditating before the idol and fire statue.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:32:16 PM): (OKay I'm bored)
Brodzky Zero (9:32:24 PM): (TIMESKIP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD)
Besyanteo (9:32:26 PM): *Sleeps on Arian's bed*
Brodzky Zero (9:32:32 PM)
: (OH GOD HURRY)
Besyanteo (9:32:32 PM): (Had to get that out.)
Idran1701 (9:32:47 PM)
: *The night goes on!*
Idran1701 (9:33:02 PM)
: *The next morning, the light soon begins to once more rise.*
Idran1701 (9:33:33 PM)
: *Some may be getting breakfast, others may be reluctant for the whole "early start" thing.*
Idran1701 (9:33:42 PM)
: *Davey, for one, seems to be one of the latter.*
Brodzky Zero (9:33:57 PM)
: *Drinks a bunch of tea.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:34:00 PM): *He can sleep in, if he wants. :(*
NebbieQ (9:34:04 PM): (brb)
Brodzky Zero (9:34:28 PM)
: (Neb when you get back you will be cursed to think of THE REANIMATOR THEMESONG)
Besyanteo (9:34:41 PM): *Eatting! Beef chunks!*
Besyanteo (9:35:00 PM)
: (HEY ZERO)
Brodzky Zero (9:35:02 PM)
: *Eating bread or whatever passes for cheap breakfast.*
Besyanteo (9:35:06 PM): (POSTED TO THE FIREFOX THREAD)
Brodzky Zero (9:35:06 PM)
: (Hey Bes what!)
Brodzky Zero (9:35:43 PM): (My friend has thousands of extensions so his Firefox runs ridiculously slow and I laugh at him and get upset when I have to use it)
Idran1701 (9:36:22 PM): (Bes: Popup Alt Atrib shows you tooltips for the ALT tags of images, since Firefox doesn't do that by default. :O)
Besyanteo (9:36:30 PM)
: (Ha ha ha)
Brodzky Zero (9:36:34 PM)
: (Yeah but who uses ALT tags?)
Besyanteo (9:36:37 PM): (Idran: Ah.)
Idran1701 (9:36:39 PM)
: (Many comics!)
Brodzky Zero (9:36:43 PM)
: (Oh, right.)
Besyanteo (9:36:44 PM): (XKCD)
Idran1701 (9:36:48 PM)
: (Dr. McNinja.)
Idran1701 (9:36:52 PM)
: (Dinosaur Comics.)
Brodzky Zero (9:37:01 PM)
: (Well I don't read a lot of comics! I forgot!)
Brodzky Zero (9:37:06 PM): (I forgot.. how to feel.)
Idran1701 (9:37:10 PM): (Speaking of, did you see the new XKCD just recently, Bes? :D)
Besyanteo (9:37:38 PM)
: (I might have. Last update was?)
Idran1701 (9:37:52 PM)
: (Just now.)
Besyanteo (9:38:03 PM)
: (*looks*)
Idran1701 (9:38:04 PM)
: (Or within the last few hours, at least.)
Besyanteo (9:38:30 PM)
: (HA)
Besyanteo (9:38:32 PM)
: (HA HA HA)
Besyanteo (9:38:36 PM)
: (Awesome. =D)
Brodzky Zero (9:39:15 PM)
: (Link? :( )
Idran1701 (9:39:33 PM): ( www.xkcd.com )
Brodzky Zero (9:39:48 PM): (For some reason the alt text shows up fine for me)
Besyanteo (9:40:59 PM): (It's after certain lengths that it fails)
Idran1701 (9:41:05 PM)
: (Yeah.)
Brodzky Zero (9:41:06 PM)
: (Ah.)
Besyanteo (9:41:09 PM): (Anything longer than, say, a typical sentence)
Idran1701 (9:41:24 PM)
: (Also old versions of Firefox didn't show it at all.)
Brodzky Zero (9:41:37 PM)
: (I just go into rightclick > properties and check it there.)
Idran1701 (9:41:44 PM): (Since technically it's only supposed to be seen if the image doesn't load for whatever reason.)
Idran1701 (9:41:44 PM)
: (It was people complaining that made them add it.)
Besyanteo (9:42:00 PM)
: (SO)
Brodzky Zero (9:42:13 PM)
: (Aha)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:42:16 PM): (Just to remind everyone:)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:42:21 PM): (Casino Royale is probably the best Bond movie.)
Besyanteo (9:42:21 PM): (What's Neb up to?)
Idran1701 (9:42:24 PM)
: (We're waiting on Neb. :O)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:42:26 PM)
: (Hell if I know)
Idran1701 (9:42:28 PM): (Bah, lag. :( )
NebbieQ (9:42:39 PM)
: (Okay back)
Besyanteo (9:42:42 PM)
: (I didn't see Casino Royale.)
Idran1701 (9:42:43 PM)
: (And I need to see that.)
Besyanteo (9:42:55 PM)
: (Then again, I almost never see new movies)
Idran1701 (9:43:10 PM)
: (I hear it's the most Fleming-ish of the movies. Few gadgets and deathtraps and whatnot, just action and stuff.)
Besyanteo (9:43:11 PM)
: (I saw Sweeney Todd and that's the only one I've been able to make it to the theatre for since...)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:43:12 PM)
: (Idran, you'll watch Casino Royale when you get over here)
Brodzky Zero (9:43:13 PM): (Neb scroll up you might miss something)
Besyanteo (9:43:15 PM): (Pirates 3, I think)
SongstressEnlil (9:43:23 PM)
: (Live and Let Die is the one I like)
Idran1701 (9:43:40 PM): (Don't, Neb, it's a trick!)
Besyanteo (9:43:51 PM)
: (IT'S A TARP)
Besyanteo (9:43:57 PM)
: (*displays tarp*)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:44:13 PM)
: (Problem is that Casino Royale is the first where he's not launching rockets out of his watch or has any other crazy gadget shit.)
Besyanteo (9:44:18 PM): (I have been pilfering from Pervy's family garage. :o)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:44:27 PM)
: (Hell, he gets his car by winning it in a poker game, as opposed to just having it)
Idran1701 (9:44:42 PM): (That's how the books used to be, actually, from what I understand. I've never read them, but going by what people that have have said about them vs. the movies.)
Idran1701 (9:45:04 PM)
: (Anyway! Now that Neb's back, shall we resume? :O)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:45:08 PM)
: (That he's not incredibly suave and shit? He's just a fairly typical agent?)
NebbieQ (9:45:24 PM): *Martillo has no problem with an early start; in fact, he greets the morning light with cheer and exuberance!*
Idran1701 (9:45:39 PM)
: (Yeah, I think so. And he didn't rely on Q; he had gadgets, but fairly basic spy ones.)
Besyanteo (9:45:48 PM)
: *He's just sort of up, no more or less present than normal*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:46:08 PM)
: *DID SHE EVEN SLEEP!?*
Idran1701 (9:46:25 PM): *Is Lil going to wait for Davey to wake up, or leave while he sleeps?*
Besyanteo (9:46:43 PM)
: (Davey: She left me. ;-;)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:47:14 PM)
: *Did he want to come?*
Idran1701 (9:48:36 PM): *She's not sure! He was still asleep when she went to bed.*
Idran1701 (9:48:42 PM)
: *She hasn't had a chance to ask yet.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:48:57 PM)
: *She'll poke him awake, and ask if he wants to come, or stay home.*
Idran1701 (9:49:42 PM): *...Um...he'd rather stay, if it's okay...*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:50:02 PM)
: *That's fine. He better be good though >:*
Besyanteo (9:50:07 PM): (This sort of reminds me of something my Dad used to do.)
Idran1701 (9:50:17 PM)
: *He will!*
Besyanteo (9:50:18 PM)
: (It's be 4 AM, and I'd feel someone shaking my foot)
Besyanteo (9:50:32 PM)
: (And he'd say "Let's go fishin!")
Besyanteo (9:50:41 PM)
: ("....... Sure. x_x")
Idran1701 (9:50:52 PM)
: (Heh.)
Idran1701 (9:50:56 PM)
: (Ever catch anything good? :D)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:51:07 PM)
: (Like the 2 ring?)
Brodzky Zero (9:51:22 PM): *Is ready to go after he finishes his tea!*
Besyanteo (9:51:53 PM): (Rainbow trout, which was tiny, and a female bass; We knew it was female because it was breeding season and it was huge with eggs. Or Dad said that was why it was so wide and short, anyway.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:52:17 PM)
: (But you did not find the 2 ring.)
Besyanteo (9:52:22 PM): (otherwise, no: I'm lousy at being patient when fishing. And no, no 2 ring.)
Idran1701 (9:52:43 PM)
: *Then they are off! It's something of a hike through the city, across the Lower Ward to the Lady's, where the City Courts can be found.*
Brodzky Zero (9:52:48 PM)
: (I was fishing once and I caught some brown thing)
Brodzky Zero (9:52:56 PM): (It wasn't a boot it was a fish)
Idran1701 (9:53:03 PM): *Some of the party are more familiar with this region than others, located only a few blocks from Harmonium headquarters.*
Besyanteo (9:53:10 PM)
: (Did it have whiskers?)
Brodzky Zero (9:53:18 PM)
: (I dunno, this was over a decade ago)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:53:19 PM): http://www.wowwiki.com/The_2_Ring
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:53:21 PM): ( )
Besyanteo (9:53:22 PM): (Heh)
Besyanteo (9:54:11 PM)
: (*facepalm* HA)
Idran1701 (9:55:20 PM)
: *A wide, one-story building, to Lil looking vaguely in the architecture found in Hecate's realm, with a three-story clocktower looming in back.*
Idran1701 (9:55:40 PM)
: *A thin crowd surrounds it, of various arrested folks and their solicitors clamoring for their audience inside, waiting for their turn in court.*
Idran1701 (9:56:13 PM)
: ( http://www.mysidia.org/Planescape/CityCourt.png )
Brodzky Zero (9:56:40 PM): (Was First here once?)
Idran1701 (9:56:44 PM): (He was!)
Brodzky Zero (9:56:50 PM)
: I was here once.
Besyanteo (9:57:00 PM): ( Dave found this)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:57:01 PM): Great.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:57:11 PM): What're we looking for, again?
Brodzky Zero (9:57:30 PM): Those who oppose the Creator.
Besyanteo (9:58:04 PM): Better information on the Fraternity of Order, and their conenction with the Keepers.
Brodzky Zero (9:58:13 PM)
: *Nods*
Brodzky Zero (9:58:25 PM): *Surveys the crowd!*
Idran1701 (9:59:05 PM): *Some in manacles, guarded by members of the Harmonium and kept a close eye on; others more freely kept, their advocates standing close by and trying to make themselves heard over the din.*
Idran1701 (9:59:30 PM)
: *Luckily, it's early enough that the full crowd isn't out in force; a mere couple dozen currently mill about the entrance stairs.*
Brodzky Zero (10:00:12 PM)
: That... isn't them, is it?
Besyanteo (10:00:17 PM): No.
NebbieQ (10:00:25 PM)
: *Shakes his head* Truly, a pathetic sight.
SongstressEnlil (10:00:29 PM)
: (Ooo, the Play concerts. I have a friend who has been following them)
Idran1701 (10:01:47 PM): *Pushing through the throng is hardly an effort; do they press onwards?*
Besyanteo (10:02:12 PM)
: *begins forward*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:03:22 PM)
: *Sure!*
Brodzky Zero (10:03:50 PM): *Walka walk*
NebbieQ (10:04:19 PM): *Follows*
Besyanteo (10:04:31 PM)
: (First is now a Muppet in my mind)
Idran1701 (10:04:37 PM)
: *The party weaves through the crowd, climbing the stairs and passing under the shaded inscription hardly visible this time of day.*
SongstressEnlil (10:05:01 PM)
: (First: *Pokes Guy in the eye with his arm wires*)
Idran1701 (10:05:06 PM): *Entering the building, they find it somewhat full itself. A number of chairs are found scattered about, but all full. A clerk works at a desk directly ahead of the doorway, looking up at their entrance.*
Idran1701 (10:05:19 PM)
: ...Well, you lot don't seem to be here on court business.
Idran1701 (10:05:23 PM): Can I help you?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:05:51 PM): We're looking for a bunch of squishy guys that like to wear silly glasses.
Idran1701 (10:06:02 PM): ...Eh?
Besyanteo (10:06:10 PM): ...
NebbieQ (10:06:18 PM)
: ....
Besyanteo (10:06:19 PM)
: IM: Well that's one way to do it, you retard.
Idran1701 (10:06:35 PM)
: *his face shows no signs of recognition, only confusion*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:06:37 PM): Huh?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:06:47 PM): Oh, sorry, that was the last place.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:08:17 PM): *Looks around* What are we doing here, again?
Idran1701 (10:08:17 PM): ...Aha. Okay...what can the Fraternity help you with here, then?
Besyanteo (10:08:27 PM): (*stubbornly refuses to be a driving force*)
Idran1701 (10:08:48 PM)
: (Guy's not exactly the alpha type anyway. :D)
SongstressEnlil (10:09:19 PM): (His cheek pads are too small)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:09:26 PM): (He got beat up a lot at obediance school.)
NebbieQ (10:09:29 PM): (let me read up on the info again)
Brodzky Zero (10:09:35 PM)
: <_< >_>
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:09:46 PM): JUst wondering about some information, really.
Idran1701 (10:10:01 PM): *First sees people, all around! And to either side, doors! Hanging open, with cloaks within.*
Idran1701 (10:10:53 PM): Aha. Do you need access to our libraries, or do you require an audience with a faction member?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:12:24 PM): I think the libraries will do for now.
Besyanteo (10:12:25 PM): ( more fun with CT music. )
Brodzky Zero (10:13:39 PM): (brb)
Idran1701 (10:13:43 PM): *He nods* The records room is on the second floor. You'll need to go around to the rear entrance.
Idran1701 (10:13:48 PM): Someone should be there to help you.
Besyanteo (10:13:56 PM): (Maybe Black Mesa.)
Idran1701 (10:14:04 PM)
: (Fat chance.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:14:18 PM): (That was hardly a joke.)
Besyanteo (10:14:28 PM): (I got a breif chukle out of it.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:14:34 PM)
: *Nods, and heads that way*
Besyanteo (10:14:50 PM): *follow!*
Idran1701 (10:15:22 PM)
: *The group heads out, making their way around the edge of the building.*
Idran1701 (10:16:22 PM): *The crowds soon thin to nothing, mostly clustered as they are around the front. And before long, they find themselves in back of the Court.*
Idran1701 (10:16:48 PM): *A door opens in on a hallway, at the end of which a wide staircase spans. And upstairs, ahead and to either side, stand two doors each labeled "Records".*
Idran1701 (10:17:10 PM): *No one seems to be around at the moment; shall they wait, or just barge right on in? :O*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:17:32 PM): *Wait? Does she look like a waiter?*
Besyanteo (10:17:46 PM): (Dammit Kefka)
Idran1701 (10:17:47 PM)
: *Only at times!*
Besyanteo (10:17:53 PM): (Stop running away and poisoning our rivers.)
SongstressEnlil (10:18:23 PM)
: (Don't tease the octopus, kiddies!)
Besyanteo (10:18:30 PM): *If she doesn't open the door, he'll try to*
Idran1701 (10:18:38 PM)
: *Inside! Shelves, filled with scrolls rather than books, fill the room and line the walls.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:18:40 PM): *In!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:18:43 PM): You know..
Besyanteo (10:18:45 PM): (... HA HA HA)
Besyanteo (10:18:51 PM)
: (Awesome, PErvy. =D)
Idran1701 (10:18:54 PM)
: *The footsteps of someone can be heard in the stacks, but whoever they are, they're out of sight for now.*
SongstressEnlil (10:19:16 PM): (I was pondering linking that earlier, decided not to, and then the opening came)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:19:33 PM): We might get better results if ...
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:19:51 PM): *Looks at Guy, then Marty, then First* No, we're probably best having me do the talking.
NebbieQ (10:20:00 PM): *Walks after her* Hmn? What was that?
Brodzky Zero (10:20:56 PM)
: (Back)
Besyanteo (10:21:04 PM): ( FF6 Boss Battle Guitar )
Besyanteo (10:21:40 PM): I would have suggested Arian, if we knew where he was.
Besyanteo (10:21:48 PM)
: (... Fuck it cutso ut early. That bastard. :( )
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:23:13 PM)
: He's a turnip.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:23:21 PM): Still better off with me.
Idran1701 (10:23:45 PM): *Before long, those footsteps begin nearing; the party catches site of a figure passing through the shelves, engrossed in reading of some sort, with no sign of having yet noticed their presence.*
Brodzky Zero (10:24:04 PM): >_> <_<
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:24:09 PM): ..Well? Off with you, this ain't my thing.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:24:23 PM): This is on you guys. You let me know if you need a book punched, though.
NebbieQ (10:24:47 PM): *Chuckles* Unless they have teeth, I doubt that will be needed.
Besyanteo (10:25:13 PM)
: IM: Just giving you a chance to finish talking~
Brodzky Zero (10:25:20 PM)
: I fought a book with teeth.
Besyanteo (10:25:20 PM): *he pads in*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:25:34 PM)
: Fascinating.
Brodzky Zero (10:25:40 PM): *Follows that doggy :)*
Besyanteo (10:25:43 PM): *oh god, robot stalker*
Brodzky Zero (10:25:57 PM)
: (Get out of here, s.t.a.l.k.e.r!)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:26:15 PM): *Leans against the doorframe, arms crossed. WHAT A REBEL*
Besyanteo (10:27:03 PM): *he'll head up to the GUY*
Besyanteo (10:27:09 PM)
: *Not to be confused with the Guy.*
Brodzky Zero (10:27:15 PM)
: (I wanna be the Guy)
Besyanteo (10:27:19 PM): (=D)
Idran1701 (10:27:19 PM)
: *Guy heads forward, First close behind. Even right up to the fellow - a somewhat short human, bespectacled and slightly balding, nose still stuck in that book of his - there is no reaction.*
Besyanteo (10:27:28 PM): Excuse me. 9_9
Brodzky Zero (10:27:50 PM)
: Hello.
Idran1701 (10:28:07 PM): ...Eh? *he looks around, and eventually down to the wolf, before noticing both him and First*
NebbieQ (10:28:14 PM)
: *Follows after* Greetings, sir
Idran1701 (10:28:48 PM)
: ...Er...what is it?
Besyanteo (10:29:29 PM)
: Do you work here?
Besyanteo (10:29:57 PM)
: We need help locating a few references.
Idran1701 (10:30:11 PM)
: ...I wouldn't say that, exactly...I do some work in here...or do you mean the faction house, and not merely this room?
Idran1701 (10:30:23 PM)
: If so, then yes, I do work here. Though not here per se.
NebbieQ (10:30:44 PM)
: Any help is appreciated, good sir.
Idran1701 (10:31:11 PM)
: ...*reluctantly* I suppose I could offer my assistance. References, you say?
Idran1701 (10:34:04 PM)
: What is it you want me to help you locate, exactly?
Besyanteo (10:34:04 PM)
: To a race of begins called the Keepers?
Besyanteo (10:34:09 PM)
: (beings*)
Idran1701 (10:35:35 PM)
: *he nods* Yes, well...racial studies...that would be...and next to 34 zed-b...*his eyes wandering to the shelves, he begins walking along their length, his muttering trailing off to silence*
Brodzky Zero (10:35:49 PM)
: <_<
Besyanteo (10:36:08 PM): *follows*
NebbieQ (10:36:31 PM)
: *Follows!*
Brodzky Zero (10:36:44 PM)
: *Walka walk*
Idran1701 (10:36:52 PM): *eventually, he stops at a specific shelf, and begins rummaging through the scrolls* Keepers, you said? With a K?
Besyanteo (10:37:19 PM)
: Yes.
Idran1701 (10:37:36 PM)
: Right, right, right...*he pulls out a scroll* Let's see...
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:38:22 PM)
: IM: No, keepers with a Q. Hur hur.
Idran1701 (10:38:45 PM): *unraveling it, First and Neb get the glimpse of small writing, barely legible, with a large red word across its length; before they can make out any specifics, he closes the scroll, placing it back with a frown* Anything else?
Brodzky Zero (10:38:58 PM)
: (NEB!?)
Idran1701 (10:39:03 PM): (...Martillo)
NebbieQ (10:39:06 PM)
: (...)
NebbieQ (10:39:28 PM)
: (Neb: ...where am I, and what is this metal foldup chair doing in my hands?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:39:28 PM)
: (Oh god, Tareen can't be far.)
Besyanteo (10:39:47 PM): (HA HA HA)
Besyanteo (10:39:55 PM)
: (I dunno what would be worse: )
Besyanteo (10:40:05 PM)
: (Tareen reacting to Neb in a Mexican Wrestler outfit,)
Besyanteo (10:40:18 PM)
: (Or Tareen competing with Lilium.)
Idran1701 (10:41:22 PM)
: (Heh.)
Idran1701 (10:41:26 PM)
: (Anyway!)
Brodzky Zero (10:41:30 PM)
: >_>
Idran1701 (10:42:20 PM): Are there other subjects you'd like to track down?
Besyanteo (10:42:28 PM)
: ... Could we see that please?
Idran1701 (10:43:06 PM)
: I'm afraid not.
Idran1701 (10:43:09 PM)
: Anything else?
NebbieQ (10:43:26 PM)
: *Frowns* And why not?
Besyanteo (10:43:34 PM)
: ... No, no, it's ok.
Besyanteo (10:43:57 PM)
: Martillo, have the man show you some material on Coeurls.
Besyanteo (10:44:22 PM)
: I'll tell our employer that we need to look elsewhere for our first subject.
NebbieQ (10:44:29 PM)
: *Pauses, before nodding* Very well.
Besyanteo (10:44:39 PM)
: *pads to Lillium*
Idran1701 (10:45:12 PM)
: Couerls...Celestian feathered serpents, I believe? That would be...mountainout terrain...*he wanders off once more!*
Idran1701 (10:45:15 PM)
: *mountainous
Besyanteo (10:45:24 PM)
: 9_9 *quietly* we're about to do something very very illegal. Give me a hand?
NebbieQ (10:45:50 PM)
: *Follows after* IM: What does this have to do with the Order?
NebbieQ (10:46:04 PM)
: IM: Hmn, I'll ask Guy after I retrieve the books.
Besyanteo (10:46:23 PM)
: (Chris?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:47:22 PM)
: (Sorry!)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:47:33 PM): *w* You know I'm a warden of the law, right?
Besyanteo (10:47:43 PM): 9_9 ... *left earflick*
Besyanteo (10:47:50 PM)
: Are you very commited to that?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:47:54 PM)
: *w* Nuts to it what are we doing?
Besyanteo (10:48:16 PM): *quietly* stealing a scroll that they don't want us to look at. Or at the very elast looking at it while they're distracted.
Besyanteo (10:48:24 PM)
: (... Idran)
Idran1701 (10:48:27 PM)
: (Hmm?)
Besyanteo (10:48:29 PM)
: (Do I have copy memorized?)
Idran1701 (10:49:01 PM)
: (You do!)
Besyanteo (10:49:03 PM)
: (!)
Besyanteo (10:49:04 PM)
: ...
Idran1701 (10:49:06 PM)
: (Do you have ink with you?)
Besyanteo (10:49:17 PM)
: (... Probably. He keeps alot of stuff in his hood.)
Idran1701 (10:49:21 PM)
: (Fair enough!)
Besyanteo (10:49:23 PM)
: (I'm not sure if he'd have paper.)
Brodzky Zero (10:49:27 PM)
: (Use First's blood)
Besyanteo (10:49:30 PM): (Ha)
Idran1701 (10:49:38 PM)
: (Hmm.)
Besyanteo (10:49:41 PM)
: *he moves to where the scroll is!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:49:54 PM)
: *Follows* *w* Do I need to knock someone out?
Besyanteo (10:50:19 PM): *w* No, you need to have thumbs. If I did this, the scroll would be ruined. Saliva and all that.
Idran1701 (10:50:23 PM)
: *Meanwhile, Martillo is brought to another section of the records room* ...Couerl, here we are. What specifically did you need know about them?
NebbieQ (10:50:41 PM)
: I...ah...hrm.
Besyanteo (10:50:49 PM)
: *w* there, that one. Pick it up and open it so I can see it.
NebbieQ (10:50:49 PM)
: ...eating habits?
Idran1701 (10:51:04 PM)
: *he begins rummaging through once more!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:51:28 PM)
: *Will wait a minute, then put her gloves on in order to do so*
Idran1701 (10:52:06 PM): *The scroll is taken and opened before Guy! On it is a large, red word, imprinted by stamp, apparently: "INTERDICTED"*
Idran1701 (10:52:33 PM)
: *And under that...small, blurry writing. Some sort of effect seems to be making the words illegible; definitely not natural, as the blurring shifts as the paper moves.*
Brodzky Zero (10:52:51 PM)
: *Is watching out for any nefarious books*
Besyanteo (10:53:06 PM): ... *w* damn. I don't think I can just copy it this way.
Besyanteo (10:53:31 PM)
: (Idran)
Idran1701 (10:53:35 PM): (Hmm?)
Besyanteo (10:53:48 PM)
: (Does Guy have any idea how likely it would be they could find someone to remove the illegibility spell from this?)
Besyanteo (10:53:58 PM): (and not get reported, of course)
Idran1701 (10:54:38 PM): (He'd have to track down someone good with this sort of thing; not impossible in the Hive, but it could be difficult or spendy. Maybe both.)
Idran1701 (10:54:50 PM)
: (Also: Int/Reason check for Guy.)
NebbieQ (10:54:53 PM)
: *Waits patiently for the gentleman to get the books and/or scrolls*
Brodzky Zero (10:54:53 PM)
: (A dangerous endeavour indeed!)
OnlineHost (10:54:57 PM): Besyanteo rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
Besyanteo (10:54:59 PM): (pass)
Besyanteo (10:55:06 PM): (I think anyway)
Besyanteo (10:56:35 PM): *Lil hasn't heard those words before, but the muttered tones are recognizable enough to most any culture*
Idran1701 (10:56:50 PM)
: ...Here we go. *Opening it, he checks it over, before handing it to Martillo* Anything further?
Besyanteo (10:56:54 PM)
: *w* No, this won't work. No wonder he just walked off and left it.
Besyanteo (10:57:06 PM)
: Put it back. It's less than worthless to us this way.
Besyanteo (10:57:11 PM)
: (also whispered)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:57:37 PM)
: *Puts it back!*
Idran1701 (10:57:44 PM): *It is returned!*
Besyanteo (10:58:09 PM)
: *pads off, still cursing in some other language*
Besyanteo (10:58:16 PM)
: *quietly!*
Besyanteo (10:58:35 PM)
: ... Oh.
NebbieQ (10:59:19 PM)
: *Takes it* Hrm...ah!
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:59:21 PM)
: Hmm?
Besyanteo (10:59:23 PM): *w* As far as the man in here knows, you're employing us to do research for you.
Besyanteo (10:59:30 PM)
: *w* In case he asks or something.
Besyanteo (10:59:39 PM)
: *w* Keepers and Coeurls.
Brodzky Zero (10:59:42 PM)
: *Begins pacing around the stacks on his lonesome.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:59:43 PM): *w* Good. About time people figured out I'm in charge.
Besyanteo (11:00:00 PM): *w* Don't ham it up. We don't need to look extra suspicious.
Idran1701 (11:00:02 PM)
: *First begins exploring, eyes peeled for the first sign of hungry texts*
NebbieQ (11:00:09 PM)
: What about, ah, religious texts?
Idran1701 (11:00:14 PM)
: *Nothing yet, but who knows what might lurk upon these shelves?*
Idran1701 (11:00:19 PM)
: What religion?
Besyanteo (11:00:44 PM)
: (Martillo: Television. *rimshot*)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:01:29 PM)
: *Goes back to her spot. :O*
Idran1701 (11:02:59 PM): (Neb? :O)
NebbieQ (11:07:09 PM)
: *Shakes his head.* No, never mind. Thank you, sir.
NebbieQ (11:07:16 PM)
: *Looks back, towards where Guy last was*
Besyanteo (11:07:25 PM)
: *Guy... is back by Lil now*
Brodzky Zero (11:07:46 PM)
: *Eventually finds his way back near Martillo*
Brodzky Zero (11:08:00 PM): This area seems to be safe.
NebbieQ (11:08:55 PM): ...it was dangerous?
Idran1701 (11:09:07 PM)
: *Does MArty head back to him? :O*
Brodzky Zero (11:09:35 PM)
: It could have been.
NebbieQ (11:10:36 PM): *Walks to Guy and Lil*
Brodzky Zero (11:10:41 PM)
: *Follows*
NebbieQ (11:10:54 PM): I would think this place would be free of peril
Idran1701 (11:11:09 PM)
: *They rejoin the two!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:11:16 PM)
: *w* so, basically, we've got nothing.
Idran1701 (11:11:30 PM): *And the old guy goes back to his reading, wandering off once more.*
Besyanteo (11:11:30 PM)
: *w* Yes. We should go where we can speak freely.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:12:07 PM)
: *Out!*
NebbieQ (11:12:11 PM): Hello?
Besyanteo (11:12:12 PM)
: *he follows*
Brodzky Zero (11:12:27 PM)
: *Follows that doggy~*
Idran1701 (11:12:44 PM): *They step out; the hallway still looks empty enough for now.*
NebbieQ (11:13:03 PM)
: *Walks after them* Now, pardon me, but what are you actually looking for?
Besyanteo (11:13:39 PM)
: Information on those after Karl. Unfortunately, the scrolls are magically obscured and appear to have protections on them.
Besyanteo (11:13:54 PM)
: So copying them is pointless and stealing them is stupidity.
Besyanteo (11:14:10 PM)
: And we've seen that asking nicely counts for nothing.
Besyanteo (11:14:31 PM)
: We need a different source.
NebbieQ (11:14:41 PM)
: Hmn. But who else would know about them?
Besyanteo (11:15:02 PM)
: That's the question, yeah.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:17:17 PM)
: On you.
Besyanteo (11:17:56 PM): What?
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:18:47 PM)
: I said, that's on you.
Besyanteo (11:20:17 PM): The only thing I can think of to do is to look for other groups that are already interested in the subject. Probably some host of people radically opposed to the Keeper's philosophy. But I don't know that one exists.
NebbieQ (11:21:24 PM)
: *sighs* THere has to be someone. What they do...it isn't right.
NebbieQ (11:21:39 PM)
: They claim to be for order, but all they do is play games with the people around them, as if they're nothing.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:23:47 PM)
: Well, they suck at the games.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:24:13 PM): *Looks around, and assuming there's nobody there...*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:24:18 PM): Anarchists.
Besyanteo (11:24:31 PM): ... Eh?
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:24:56 PM)
: We should find one. They'd help.
Idran1701 (11:25:22 PM): *Guy and Martillo both remember the Anarchists as being one of the factions listed in that pamphlet*
NebbieQ (11:27:19 PM)
: E-excuse me?
NebbieQ (11:27:22 PM)
: No. No no no.
Besyanteo (11:27:28 PM)
: ... It's...
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:27:29 PM)
: Got a better idea?
Besyanteo (11:27:33 PM): ... It would carry risk,
NebbieQ (11:27:36 PM)
: Let me think.
Besyanteo (11:27:37 PM)
: but Lilium has a point.
Brodzky Zero (11:27:53 PM)
: >_>
Besyanteo (11:27:54 PM): ... The question is would the know anything.
Besyanteo (11:28:34 PM)
: We can always find some starry eyed initiate whsoe in it for the principle, and not the greed,
Besyanteo (11:28:41 PM)
: but it's pointless if they can't give us anything.
NebbieQ (11:28:57 PM)
: And that's assuming they'll even cooperate!
Besyanteo (11:29:31 PM)
: *looks at Martillo* They're believers in chaos and absolute freedom from government;
Besyanteo (11:29:40 PM)
: About half of them will cooperate on principle
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:29:41 PM)
: They'll cooperate.
Besyanteo (11:29:56 PM): the problem is alot of them might screw us for our trouble.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:30:11 PM)
: They won't screw us.
Besyanteo (11:30:18 PM): *looks at Lil*
NebbieQ (11:30:30 PM)
: And how do you know?
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:30:41 PM)
: Look who you're talking to!
Besyanteo (11:30:48 PM): Because, Martillo;
Besyanteo (11:31:04 PM)
: They're probably the only 'faction' where we could get away with threatening someone.
NebbieQ (11:31:29 PM)
: We should not have to resort to petty threats to get our way.
Besyanteo (11:31:38 PM)
: <_<
NebbieQ (11:32:04 PM)
: *Sigh* It should be a last resort, if that.
Besyanteo (11:32:12 PM)
: Well of course.
Besyanteo (11:32:19 PM)
: But we can't bar ourselves from it either.
Besyanteo (11:32:44 PM)
: *speeds up just a little bit* Besides, what's the alternative?
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:33:53 PM)
: A..Uh...
NebbieQ (11:34:18 PM): *Quietly* I am unsure
Besyanteo (11:34:23 PM)
: *looks at Lil* That would be:
Brodzky Zero (11:34:27 PM)
: <_<
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:34:33 PM): Chaos-I-Techt.
Besyanteo (11:34:43 PM): "The Keepers eventually get tired of us interfering with them and swarm us to death."
Besyanteo (11:35:14 PM)
: Not a good alternative.
NebbieQ (11:35:19 PM)
: Hmph.
Besyanteo (11:36:06 PM)
: (and... I'm not sure what else to do now.)
Idran1701 (11:36:16 PM)
: (This seems like a good place to cut, actually. :O)
Idran1701 (11:37:28 PM)
: (Any objections?)
Brodzky Zero (11:37:35 PM)
: (NO)
Besyanteo (11:37:52 PM): (Also, Idran had to remind me what Lil was talking about. :( )
Idran1701 (11:38:16 PM)
: (No shame in that. :D)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:40:03 PM)
: (If you had any idea how much OOC info he gives me...)
Idran1701 (11:40:47 PM): (Hey, it's IC.)
Idran1701 (11:41:45 PM)
: (Anyway, XP!)
Idran1701 (11:42:04 PM)
: (Just base for this session: 700 for all.)
Idran1701 (11:44:33 PM)
: (Shini: Lil's currently at 30061/32000. :O)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:45:15 PM)
: (:O)
NebbieQ (11:45:27 PM): (Okay, I need sleep. Night folks)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:46:06 PM)
: (Weak.)
Besyanteo (11:46:08 PM): (what the lady said.)
Idran1701 (11:46:10 PM)
: (Night, Neb. :D)
Idran1701 (11:46:13 PM)
: (And Bes.)
Besyanteo (11:46:14 PM)
: (Night all!)
(11:46:24 PM) Besyanteo
has left the room.
