<Knockwood> YOU!
<Nandom_Rerd> Hi Knock!
<Nandom_Rerd> Yes ME!
<Knockwood> Ha! You're not our Hollyhock!
<Nandom_Rerd> False! I'm your _NEW_ HG

<Random_Nerd> Hey.

  • Random_Nerd slaps Nandom_Rerd around a bit with a large trout

<Nandom_Rerd> HI ... why all this hate RN?
<Nandom_Rerd> :-P
-->| BethE (~BethL@MagicStar-D88E7E90.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #nobilis
<BethE> Sorry about the delay, guys. My mouse was having trouble.
<Random_Nerd> I went to all this trouble to fish up an Abhorrent Trout, and this is the thanks I get?
<Nandom_Rerd> eheh
<Nandom_Rerd> (no one use the power of name! :-P )
<Knockwood> Actually, I wanted to run something by you guys...
<Knockwood> you too, lazarus
=-= YOU are now known as RN2
=-= YOU are now known as Angelo
<Random_Nerd> Oh?
<Angelo> hi piciotti!
<Knockwood> Well, because of an eBay second chance, I have an opportunity to grab a like-new GWB and Game of Powers for $66 + $21 shipping.
<BethE> Oooo...
<Random_Nerd> Is... Laz here? Because I don't see him.
<Angelo> lucky bid!
<Knockwood> debating whether to grab it or not... in the next 24 hours.
<Angelo> no Laz say to me on msn that will be out
<Random_Nerd> Ah.
<Random_Nerd> That's not a bad price.
<Angelo> 66+21 is a ridiculous low price!
<Angelo> I see it change hand for far much more.
<Knockwood> for you, sure, Angelo, you're in Europe. :)
<Angelo> If you have the money. You can purchase and resell ;-)
<Angelo> oh, in USA the price is different? I don’t know...
<Angelo> (here I see GWB sell near the 300€ mark)
<BethE> In the US, on Ebay, I've seen the white book for over $120.
<Knockwood> Last time I got a GWB I got it for $40 and was able to sell it for $160... but the price has dropped since
<Random_Nerd> Really a shame about the whole GoO thing.
<Angelo> and the sec edition voices
<Random_Nerd> Whatever happened to that?
<Angelo> JM want wait to finish the second peculiar book
<Angelo> Eos press want to publish Nobilis 2ed now
<Angelo> Jenna win
<Knockwood> 3rd
<Angelo> right 3th
<Knockwood> what happened to what?
<Random_Nerd> Ah. But since it's Eos Press, it'll be out in about a year from when it's supposed to be out?
<Angelo> you are really optimistic RN...
<Knockwood> well, remember, JKM has admitted she's taking meds that make it hard for her to concentrate
<Random_Nerd> No, not that kind of problem.
<Angelo> well she wrote on a forum that either she publish peculiar book 2 or she must give the green light to eos press
<Random_Nerd> I think that Eos has somehow offended the True God of Printers And Overseas Shipping.
<Angelo> Not now. She is posting regularly on a fairies rpg
<Angelo> on one of her blogs
<Random_Nerd> True. She's been doing game design again. Which is a good sign, and also the RPG is kinda cool.
<Angelo> true!
<Random_Nerd> It feels like it could be easily converted to a Hitherby rpg.
<Angelo> a bit too tipped toward diodeds
<Random_Nerd> Eh. That part made perfect sense to me.
<Random_Nerd> But my original major was electrical engineering, so my brain went "Diode? Hmm. Only lets power pass through one way... yep. Okay, I get it."
<Knockwood> helps to remember that she has a doctorate in computer science
<Angelo> curiosity on american school system. RN, you now live in a building in UofI? Or you go there only to absorb by the mighty professors
<Angelo> right she is one of us (programmers)
<Random_Nerd> I live in an apartment building, not on campus but not too far from it.
<Random_Nerd> But each day, I go to the law building, which is about a city-block-sized building filled with law.
<Random_Nerd> It's about a mile and three quarters from where I live, but there's a decent bus system, and I can walk there in half an hour even carrying an immense backpack filled with books and a portable computer.
<BethE> (While I go to a smaller building about a mile or so away on the same campus and do chemistry things.  :) )
<Angelo> btw Beth, how is the work going?
<BethE> (What gets me is that he has one exam per class for the entire grade of each class. That would drive me nuts.)
<Angelo> when my wife graduates as nurse she too have one exam per class per year
<BethE> Not too bad, I guess. I don't think I'll have much chance of getting full time there, though.  :( Nice people, learning all sorts of new things but it's not the kind of job to keep two people going, even on a budget.
<Angelo> oh, I'm sorry. And you are scouting for others opportunities?
<Knockwood> the exam's the entire grade?
<BethE> *shiver* I wouldn't be good at that. I would second-guess myself constantly as to whether I was doing okay or not.
<Knockwood> damn, that means one badly-timed cold could kill all your work
<Random_Nerd> Yeah. There are assignments, but they aren't graded.
<BethE> Yep, I'm looking around for other science jobs but there aren't very many places around here that a) do science and b) are looking for someone with only a bachelor's degree.
<Random_Nerd> Although, of course, if I /don't/ do them, then points can get knocked /off/ my grade...
<Angelo> same here in Italy for the assignments :-(
<Angelo> unrelated question1: Beth Buffy is on hold for a marital reason?
<Angelo> UQ2: RN, can I thwack Vulcan with my DPs? or you prefer to let it be on hold?
<Knockwood> BTW, those don't sound dirty at _all_... :)
<BethE> Not on hold for a marital reason at least in our marriage.  :) I was thinking that it might have to be put on hold for RN's studying but at the moment he feels that he can still play and study in the time after the game. Sara doesn't feel like she's having fun with the Buffy game anymore and I respect her decision to step out.
<BethE> (I just want my players to have fun and if they aren't, I don't want them to feel like they 'have to play' just to keep me 'happy.')
<Random_Nerd> Well, Vulcan hasn't really showed up yet.
<Angelo> Ohh! I was asking for Sara, but her decision is unexpected for me! O___O
<Angelo> yes Vulcan is in the background, but you can have some plan on it. So I prefer ask first and not be sore after
<Random_Nerd> Anyway, shall we play /this/ game?
<Angelo> k 4 me!
=-= BethE is now known as Theresa
=-= YOU are now known as Ftisk
<Random_Nerd> Now, the Power of Electricity and Copper and the Power of Bone want to meet with you in the diplomacy grove.
<Theresa> It was unexpected for me too, but she knows herself best. And I just want her to be haaaappy.
=-= Knockwood is now known as DanteE
<Random_Nerd> Was there anything you guys wanted to do beforehand?
<Random_Nerd> Oh, and William was acting strangely, but he says that he has a good reason.
<Ftisk> (nice recap)
<DanteE> Depends. Would there be any plot points encountered during my trip to the hospital?
<Ftisk> I want to help Gnomely for the show
<Random_Nerd> Depends.
<Random_Nerd> If you want to make it the B-plot for this story arc, we can.
<Random_Nerd> But if you just want to do it off-camera, we can do that too.
<Ftisk> depend on how Beth and Knock fell on it
<Random_Nerd> Well, that was to Knock, but it also applies to you.
<Theresa> On-camera is fine with me. I like seeing interactions with the other NPCs.
<Ftisk> ops, sorry
<Theresa> We can do those and then the Grove.
<Theresa> (And Theresa can just be off-screen, conferencing with the Urban Farmers groups.)
<Random_Nerd> Oh, one other thing. Before we start, I had a question for Ftisk. Do you have any preferences on how well Ftisk and Electricity and Copper know each other?
<Random_Nerd> It would make sense for them to, since they're both artificial creations of True Gods.
<Random_Nerd> Indeed, since E&C is a newer Noble, I rather like the idea that he was to some degree based on Ftisk.
<DanteE> and there's the Electricity-Machines connection
<Random_Nerd> Yeah.
<Ftisk> uhm, we determined that Ftisk know of E&C but not directly
<Random_Nerd> Okay.
<Ftisk> the based on piece is really cool!
<Random_Nerd> But I am having it that Indra and Vulcan know each other.
<Ftisk> Is reasonable
<Random_Nerd> Particularly since there's a pretty good chance that in my game the Zeus myths were based on Indra.
<DanteE> they meet on the weekends & play cosmic poker.
<Random_Nerd> Heh.
<Ftisk> and bet estates! :-P
<Random_Nerd> Okay. Shall we start at the hospital?
<Ftisk> ok
<Theresa> SureQ!
<DanteE> OK
<Random_Nerd> ________________START_______________
<Random_Nerd> The deputy administrator to the hospital meets you at the door.
<Random_Nerd> Sam had called ahead, and they've prepared a quick list of which patients are having problems with direct physical injuries, and which have cancer or related problems that Dante couldn't cure directly, but that he could help by patching them up after surgery that would be impossible otherwise.
<DanteE> (What about the transmogrifier?)
<Ftisk> "Hi, I want to make a transmogrifier here! Can you show me the place?"
<Random_Nerd> (That also would work, but Sam doesn't know the details on it as well.)
<Ftisk> (we can trash my line then)
<Random_Nerd> (And he kinda assumed that you'd do it the same way you did the accident victims, unless you told him otherwise)
<DanteE> (Weren't we talking about the transmogrifier IC?)
<Random_Nerd> Administrator: "I don't know what you need for that, but I can try to help you get what you need."
<Random_Nerd> (I thought you were talking about both.)
<Random_Nerd> (Was I wrong?)
<Ftisk> (No, we talked on the help Dante can bring and on the Trasm.)
<Random_Nerd> (*nod* And Sam's first thought was of Dante's thing.)
<Random_Nerd> Admin: "I have the lists that your assistant told me to get, do you need anything else?"
<DanteE> (Don't forget, Sam and William were talking about people asking to be zapped into healthy people.)
<DanteE> "Just one request... no publicity. "
<DanteE> "We'd be overwhelmed if everyone who wanted to change asked at once."
<Random_Nerd> (Ah, I forgot that they were in on that discussion. In that case, those with congenital or acquired defects, and age-related problems will also be on the list.)

  • Ftisk floats a bit around poking his nose over one nurse shoulders

<Random_Nerd> Admin: "Well, we're good at triage. If you can tell us which problems your methods can help cure, we can help you start with those most in need."
<Random_Nerd> She looks nervous.
<Random_Nerd> A: "This is safe, right?"
<DanteE> "Start with the kids... pediatric ICU patients, please. And a nice big 'theater' for the machine, please."
<DanteE> "Why, it's better than safe!"

  • Ftisk float to Dante when he say "...machine..."
  • DanteE mulls over ingrained responses like saying 'please'...

<Random_Nerd> She nods. "How big do you need, and what kind of power supply will be needed?"
<Theresa> (I think it's a very cute mental image of Ftisk 'peering' over the nurse's shoulder...)
<Ftisk> "Electricity will be fine. Big as an old mainframe room"
<Random_Nerd> A: "We can set this up. Let's see, location so that we don't have to move them too far..."
<Random_Nerd> She stares off into the distance, thinking.
<Random_Nerd> A: "We can do this. What else do you need?"
<DanteE> "Aside from 'no publicity'... that should do it."
<Ftisk> (btw Snails:

<Ftisk> )
<DanteE> "Show me the kids while the supersnail here sets things up?"
<Ftisk> (/me like supersnail!)
<Theresa> ("I has a stick!' snail!)

  • Ftisk blink to Dante

<Random_Nerd> A: "If possible, we'd like to start with an adult volunteer first, and carefully check his condition before and afterwards. Is this acceptable?"
<DanteE> "You remember me from the address to parliament, right?"
<DanteE> "Suuuure..."
<Ftisk> (how unreasonable! We ARE Nobles!!!! :-P )
<Theresa> (Yeah, but they also are a little scared and how will a little kid handle you and Ftisk. You're not _Brian_, ya know. ^^ )
<Ftisk> "I can assure you that the process will be safe"
<Random_Nerd> A: "I know who you are. But the hospital has so far enjoyed a certain amount of autonomy, and we like to keep it that way."
<Ftisk> (but Ftisk have no these little concerns...)

  • Ftisk looks at Dante for guidance

<Random_Nerd> A: "And it isn't just a matter of safeness. It's partially so we can know what to expect, what sort of specialists we'll need to have on hand after the transformation, and so on."
<DanteE> (I've actually seen that 2nd snail pic as a multiplayer shooter spray, with 'I has a stick' caption..._)
<Ftisk> (lol!)
<DanteE> "You can expect ... healthy kids. And a cleaned out hospital." (any injured folks nearby?)
<Theresa> (Have some shrinks on hand, Dante. If you go from cancerous to cancer-free or dying to whole in the space of seconds, that's going to do a number on your mind.)
<Theresa> (Especially with little kids who may have been preparing for death.)
<Ftisk> (uhm depend on how we sell it. is all PR)
<Random_Nerd> A: "Our proposed first volunteer is a construction worker who lost his legs in an accident. Other than his injuries, he's in very good health. He's agreed to undergo the process, if you're willing to use it on him."
<DanteE> (OK, I'd know that as a psych graduate, but not really think about it as, well, Dante. :) )

  • Ftisk look again at Dante with small "?" in the eyes

<DanteE> "Any chance you still have his legs?"
<Random_Nerd> A: "No. They were... not so much severed, as smashed more or less clean through. The surgeons had quite a job just picking all the splinters of bone out. There was no hope of reattaching them and having even minimal function."
<DanteE> "Not for _you_, though. The rules change for us. Bring them."
<Ftisk> (sirs, we can rebuild it!)
<DanteE> (We have the theology.)
<Random_Nerd> A: "Are you willing to use the process on Johan first, while we monitor his heart rate and have observers standing by?"
<Theresa> (How protected from DA are the Chancel people?)
<Ftisk> (like standard human?)
<Random_Nerd> (This isn't a miracle.)
<Random_Nerd> (It doesn't set off DA in the way that Noble miracles will.)
<Random_Nerd> (It would be /unsettling/ to watch, but it wouldn't have any /metaphysical/ side effects on the viewers.)
<Random_Nerd> (The transmogrifier ray, while weird, is completely mundane.)
<DanteE> (Johan is the construction worker?)
<Random_Nerd> (Yes.)
<Ftisk> (weird tech)
<DanteE> "Certainly."
<Random_Nerd> A: "Excellent. I'll have a room of the appropriate size cleared out for your use, and any parts you need brought in."
<Random_Nerd> A: "I'll go get things ready."
<DanteE> "That's the funny thing... we don't need parts.
<Random_Nerd> She starts to walk in.
<Random_Nerd> A: "Oh? I misunderstood your assistant, then."
<DanteE> "Unless you have a favorite thing-that-goes-Ping.
<Ftisk> "But is preferable if no one see the 'miracle'"
<Random_Nerd> A: "I'm afraid that the MTGP is in the shop."
<DanteE> "Oh... your monitoring equipment is another story."
<DanteE> (Anyone else around that I can zap-heal immediately? Maybe somebody in a wheelchair?)
<Random_Nerd> A: "We wanted to see what effect it had on heart rate and brain activity, so we know to what degree we need to be careful of heart patients and epileptics."
<Ftisk> "These can be healed too"
<DanteE> "Ftisk, how fine is your control? Can you give someone a healthy heart with low cholesterol?"
<Random_Nerd> (Let's see. You have Aspect 2, so you can hear down a few halls that there's a woman in the emergency room with a broken leg, that the doctors are examining.)
<DanteE> "Follow me." (And Aspect 3 now, remember. :)
<Ftisk> (RN, can I do this?)
<Random_Nerd> (The Transmorgrifier isn't utterly precise. It turns humans into nonhumans, or vice versa. But it doesn't allow you to specify the desired body to utter nano-scale precision.)
<Random_Nerd> (But there's a strong tendency for the transformed people to be healthy.)
<Theresa> (Just because the heart is low in cholestrol, the arteries in other places in the body might not be as clean.)

  • DanteE motions for the Admin to follow him as he heads for the ER.

<Ftisk> "The grain of control is not up to this scale Dante"
<Random_Nerd> (So... it will probably work that way, if you set it to "random human of same gender, age, and build". But you might not be able to do "exact same person, but with this one tiny change.")
<DanteE> (Good point, Theresa.)
<Random_Nerd> (Does Dante have Realm 2?)
<DanteE> (1)
<Random_Nerd> (Hmm. Well, the best approach would be to have the doctors check them out afterwards, and if there's still a problem run them through again.)
<Random_Nerd> (And with Dante standing by, even if they have an instant and catastrophic heart attack, they can still be saved.)
<Random_Nerd> The administator follows Dante.

  • Ftisk follows Dante
  • Ftisk land on Dante left shoulder and look if Dante mind

<Random_Nerd> Admin to Ftisk: "So, have you always been a floating metal nautilus?"
<DanteE> (OK, time to describe the ER scene...)
<Ftisk> "I'm a *snail*. Vulcan made me in this, optimized, way"
<Random_Nerd> The woman is lying down. Her pupils are dilated, so she's probably been given painkillers. A doctor is looking over her leg, while they wait for the X-Ray machine to be ready.

  • DanteE gently nudges the doc aside...

<Ftisk> (Zap her DanteE!!!!!!!)
<Random_Nerd> She looks to be in her late sixties, and doesn't seem too physically active.
<Random_Nerd> Doc: "Hey! What do you think..." and then he trails off.
<DanteE> "Close your eyes a moment? ... Humor me, I run the country."
<Random_Nerd> Someone in the background: "I thought Brian did that..."
<Ftisk> (lol!)
<DanteE> "We're a _group_."
<Ftisk> "And allies"
<Random_Nerd> Someone else, in a hushed voice: "This guy works for him. Or with him, or something..."

  • DanteE puts a light-effect on his fingertips to underscore the point...

<Random_Nerd> "Don't know about the snail, though."
<Random_Nerd> Several: "Oooh!"
<DanteE> (Actually, if I use misdirection... can I avoid crashing peoples' minds?)
<Ftisk> (reality tends to rationalize our doing. If a man can't rationalize then DA strike)
<Random_Nerd> (Usually, a single lesser miracle will not induce DA. That said, it does indeed help if they aren't looking at it.)

  • DanteE keeps the light effect up while he zap-heals the woman.
  • Ftisk float around to catch the viewer eyes

<Random_Nerd> (Nah, reality rationalizes the doings of Imperators. That's why they don't cause DA, but Nobles do.)
<Ftisk> around even
<DanteE> "Arise... and walk."
<Ftisk> (nah, in GWB there is a little piece that say that DA is caused by Noble that stir reality too far)
<Random_Nerd> She looks at Dante with obviously-drugged eyes, but tries to sit up.

  • DanteE moves the light effect to her, like a spell casting

<Ftisk> (ok, we have a wizard in the group! :-P )
<Random_Nerd> She puts one leg on the ground, and then the other.
<Random_Nerd> Old Woman: "I think it works."

  • DanteE looks her over with The Sight and Mythic
  • Ftisk the flying snail do a death's circle to underline the miracle! "Behold the power of Dante!"
  • DanteE chuckles at that...

<Random_Nerd> Doctor: "Okay, we need to get the X-Ray ready now. I want to see what that bone looks like as soon as I can. For one thing, I want to see if there's a scar in where it healed..."
<DanteE> "There isn't."
<Random_Nerd> Administrator, curious: "Can you teach other people how to do that?"
<DanteE> "Only our little group, unfortunately."
<Random_Nerd> Doc: "It's not that I don't think it's fixed. I can see that. I want to know /how/ it's fixed, as close as I can."
<Theresa> (Maaaaaaagic. *wiggles fingers*)
<DanteE> "The injury was un-done, basically."
<Ftisk> "You need a bit of faith in him"
<Random_Nerd> D: "I have faith that he's just provided me an article in a medical journal, does that count?"
<DanteE> "Think of it as a cosmic Control-Z."
<DanteE> "who else is here?"

  • Ftisk land again on Dante shoulder

<Random_Nerd> D: "With the rabbit victims, no medical professionals were on hand to see how it happened. If this is going to keep happening, we need to know how it works. What kind of physical therapy, if any, to suggest. And so on. Do you know if it strengthens atrophied muscles, if the break happened days or weeks ago?"
<Random_Nerd> Someone runs up to the administrator, and whispers something in her ear.
<Ftisk> (Dante aspect 3, I 2)
<Random_Nerd> A: "The room's ready, as is the patient. Should I tell them to wait, or take you to them?"
<DanteE> "It un-does damage."
<Random_Nerd> (What he said was basically what she said. That the preparations are ready, plus in which room, and which doctors are there.)
<Ftisk> (so atrophied muscles are mend?)
<Random_Nerd> D: "I can see that. But there are a lot of things that can be called damage..."
<DanteE> (I think so...)
<Random_Nerd> (Probably depends on how severe it is. Dante can't just walk up to a 97 pound weakling and make him into the Hero of the Beach, but he could fix the sort of problem the doc mentioned.)
<DanteE> "That's actually the quirk of what I do... I can fix acute damage, but chronic conditions need his (Ftisk's) machine."
<Random_Nerd> (And if someone had some kind of problem with the muscles themselves that was not the result of an injury, it probably couldn't do it.)
<Ftisk> "Can you guide to said room?"
<Random_Nerd> D: "Interesting."
<DanteE> (Any other ER patients?)

  • Ftisk takes off and land on A. shoulder

<Random_Nerd> Admin: "Yes. It's one floor up, other side of the hospital."
<Random_Nerd> Doc: "Nothing we can't help. Dislocated finger, guy who needs stitches, stuff like that."
<DanteE> "Oh... "

  • DanteE does a double finger snap and zap-heals both.

<DanteE> "Take five. Or come watch."
<Random_Nerd> Someone in the hall waves to the doctor, and he waves them in. They start transferring the healed woman to a gurney to transport her.
<Random_Nerd> Woman: "I can walk."
<DanteE> "Why, you can tap-dance if you wanted to."
<Ftisk> (I like the old woman)
<Random_Nerd> Orderly: "You're still on a pretty high amount of morphine. Better to let us carry you."
<Random_Nerd> Up ahead, the hospital administrator is holding the elevator.
<DanteE> to Ftisk: "Shall we?"
<Ftisk> (I'm on the left shoulder of the Administrator)
<Ftisk> from the A shoulder "sure!"
<Random_Nerd> She's got a speaking part, so, time to describe her. Late thirties, ethnically a mix of caucasian and arabic. In a business suit, wearing rather unflattering glasses. ID card clipped to the front of her jacket.

  • DanteE looks over everyone with The Sight, just in case...

<Random_Nerd> (When you do that, you notice one notable thing. Remember the guy who showed up after the whole Holy Treasure Hijinks? He's there, sitting and watching you.)
<Random_Nerd> (He gives a little wave.)
<DanteE> "... Message?"
<Theresa> (The blood drop guy? Uhoh...)
<Ftisk> (PLOT!!!!)
<Theresa> (Crap, RN's grinning... *takes cover*)
<DanteE> (/me scoops up the plot point and examines it...)
<Random_Nerd> M: "Carry on."
<Random_Nerd> M: "Would you believe I'm off the clock?"
<DanteE> "Off the clock?
<Random_Nerd> M: "Plotting your doom is just so /boring/."

  • Ftisk look at what Dante do

<DanteE> "That would imply somewhere there's a clock."
<Theresa> ("No, but you must be a little crazy to go to a hospital to wind down.")
<Random_Nerd> M: "So I got a job, to fill my spare time."
<Random_Nerd> Admin, to Dante: "Is he bothering you?"
<DanteE> (Oh lord, he's the janitor from Scrubs.)
<DanteE> "No... we just know each other."
<Random_Nerd> Admin: "As if my day could not get stranger."
<Random_Nerd> (I've never actually watched that show.)
<Ftisk> (me too never watched)
<Random_Nerd> A: "Anyway, are you ready?"
<DanteE> (The janitor is played by Neil Flynn, a Second City alumnus, and he improvises a lot of his lines. :) )
<Random_Nerd> (Fair enough.)
<DanteE> "Anyway... yes, let's get moving."
<Random_Nerd> M: "Don't worry, I'll send you an evil omen soon enough. But if I slack off now to do it, I'll get fired."

  • Ftisk use the sight to look at Message

<Random_Nerd> Admin gives him an "Oh yes you will" look, and he gets back to sweeping the floor.
<Random_Nerd> (He is not himself a Noble, but he seems to have the anchor-style glow. Not quite the same as an anchor, but about the same brightness.)
<DanteE> "What did he give as his name, by the way?"
<Random_Nerd> Admin: "I honestly have no idea. I can check, if you want. Should we fire him?"
<Random_Nerd> Admin gets into the elevator
<DanteE> "No, no, no... just let us know if he does anything weird. er."

  • Ftisk ldiv data on message: what he have done that is registered in any one in the hospital memories

<Random_Nerd> (He's the new guy. Doesn't socialize much, works hard.)
<Random_Nerd> (Several of them have the impression that he's recently out of prison, for some generic non-violent crime.)
<Random_Nerd> (But they're not sure why they think that, it's just something someone said.)
<DanteE> (Did anything about the incident which created him hit the papers?)
<Random_Nerd> She waves off someone else who tries to get into the elevator, and pushes the button for floor 2.
<Random_Nerd> (Only something in the tabloids about John having lost his voice.)
<Random_Nerd> (And yes, Dante healed his voicebox, but it still felt a little weird, so he didn't talk much for a day or two.)
<DanteE> (Ah)
<Random_Nerd> (Oh, and the same tabloid ran some pictures of some of the other Nobles, and a few of you with them. They didn't connect the two incidents, though.)
<DanteE> (the visiting Nobles?)
<Theresa> (It was the same time as our party.)
<Random_Nerd> (The incident happened during the party.)
<Random_Nerd> (So, they have pictures of a skinless woman in a grey pantsuit, and a nerdy-looking guy with bloody hands, from when you were walking them to the palace for the tour.)
<DanteE> (uhoh)
<Theresa> (Hmm..hope we sent the pictures if the Triad was in them. He seems the type to be tickled to be out and in costume.)
<Random_Nerd> (If you want to, ask Sam. He manages your press clippings.)
<Theresa> (Cool. I'll have to see his scrapbook.)
<Ftisk> (I wasn't here then)(I can modify the newspapers and the memories.... if the need arise)
<Random_Nerd> The elevator reaches the floor, and Admin steps out.
<Random_Nerd> A: "This way."

  • DanteE follows
  • Ftisk too

<Random_Nerd> They've cleared out most of the stuff from what looks like an operating theater.
<Random_Nerd> There are about four machines that seem to have been hastily wheeled in there, one of which does indeed resemble the Machine That Goes Ping. There's also a guy in a wheelchair, two doctors, and two nurses.
<DanteE> to Ftisk, quietly: "how long does it take for you to zap the machine into existence?
<Theresa> (And I'm betting that every doctor or nurse that isn't currently busy is trying to secretly fill the upper balcony of the operating theater.)
<Ftisk> "Is a lesser creation miracle, is instantaneous"
<Random_Nerd> Administrator: "Do you mind if we video-record this, for our records? Mr. Smith has already given his permission, but we wanted yours, too."
<DanteE> "One more thing we need, I think... one of those curtains on wheels."
<Random_Nerd> A nurse points at one, retracted into a little niche in the wall.
<Ftisk> "Right Dante, you fear for DA effects..."
<DanteE> (Hm... how much of a problem would it be if that got out?)
<Random_Nerd> (It would look like bad special effects.)
<Random_Nerd> (It wouldn't have the effects that witnessing a direct miracle would.)
<DanteE> "OK, but it'd look like you were doing magic tricks in here...
<DanteE> "You see..."
<Theresa> (But all of Dante's miracles look Photoshopped! *runs* ^^ )

  • DanteE grabs the curtain...

<Random_Nerd> A: "Even so. We're willing to tolerate these bizarre techniques, since they clearly work, but that doesn't mean we won't try to understand them."
<DanteE> "Having people actually watch what we do would have odd effects.

  • DanteE makes sure everybody is out of the center section except Ftisk.

<Ftisk> "If they are willing to risk then is fine for me"
<DanteE> "I mean, we have a floating supersnail here.

  • DanteE pulls the curtain between Ftisk and any witnesses...

<Random_Nerd> A: "Everyone in this room, other than you and the patient, is an experienced medical professional. We've seen some pretty crazy stuff already."
<Ftisk> "Ok, I'm ready"
<Random_Nerd> (This won't actually protect them. If anything, they're a little more at risk, because they know just how impossible certain things are.)
<Random_Nerd> (But that's what she thinks.)
<DanteE> "This isn't about medicine. This is about the way the world works...
<DanteE> (OK, what _would_ protect them?)
<Ftisk> (well Is not a Ftisk concerns. If they want to look then is ok for it)
<DanteE> "Think of it as a live magic show, that's probably the best way to deal with it..."
<Random_Nerd> (Experience seeing certain small miracles, as part of a dedicated program of desensitization.)
<DanteE> "There's a camera cut, there's some activity from the secret assistants...
<Random_Nerd> (Sam and William have gone through this, although William only barely passed.)
<DanteE> (Now you tell us)
<Random_Nerd> (You didn't ask for his report card!)
<Ftisk> (phone call: our assistant is flawed. where I can return it? ... :-P )
<DanteE> "Or, just imagine there's a fake wall somewhere that we pulled stuff out of.
<DanteE> "Ftisk?"
<Random_Nerd> (Of course, for Sam it was part of an extensive earth-immersion course, where he learned to adapt to there only being exactly two worldviews available on earth.)
<Ftisk> "Yes?"
<Random_Nerd> (For William, it was just a side-course unconnected to the rest of his studies.)
<DanteE> "Do your thing while everyone's looking at...
<DanteE> "the scantily-clad assistant!"

  • DanteE points behind the witnesses.
  • Ftisk lcreate the transmogrifier

<Random_Nerd> One of the nurses, the male one, glances over.
<Theresa> (It kind of shows, looking back. Some of his reactions to the other Nobles or Jupiter or the first Council meeting and such.)
<Random_Nerd> Administrator: "Hmm."
<DanteE> "... with the two hunky soap-star guest stars helping her!"
<Random_Nerd> The other nurse glares at Dante.
<Theresa> (Umm, Dante...aren't you Honest?)
<Random_Nerd> (He isn't actually lying.)
<Random_Nerd> (It's not like they really believe it, or that he intends for them to.)
<Theresa> (Ah. Carry on.  :) )
<DanteE> (And it's an attempt to help their brains not explode)
<Ftisk> (he is diverting attention... I believe)
<DanteE> (Well, I figure "Hey, look, a diversion!" so too obvious. :) )
<Random_Nerd> A: "This machine, is it just some magical thing filled with fairy dust and my-little-ponies, or is it a real working device?"
<DanteE> "Probably both. Then again, Amyra's been turned into a magical fairyland."
<Ftisk> "Is a real working device. You can even dismantle it and duplicate the working"
<DanteE> "Got it, Ftisk?"
<Ftisk> "BUT is based on not understood by you principles"
<Random_Nerd> A: "I know a guy who'll want to see the schematic for it, then. But we can worry about that later."
<Ftisk> "Yes Dante, the transmogrifier is done"

  • DanteE puts the curtain away.

<Random_Nerd> Johan: "So, this thing will give me my legs back?"
<Ftisk> (I don't reply to the schematics request)
<Ftisk> "Yes, this machine can transform you into a whole you"
<DanteE> "This, I believe, will give you a new intact body."
<DanteE> "Oh... ta-daah."
<Random_Nerd> He's in his late twenties, early thirties. Well-developed arms, but from what you can tell through his pants, his legs end just a few inches below the hip. Pretty much the standard amyran mix of european, african, and middle eastern genes.
<DanteE> (anyone's brain go pop?)
<Random_Nerd> (Activating it?)
<DanteE> to Johan: "You ready for this?"
<Random_Nerd> Doctor: "Let us get him hooked up, first."
<Random_Nerd> The doctors and nurses scuttle in, and start attaching electrodes to his forehead and chest.
<Ftisk> "Who want to look at the control panel?"
<DanteE> (Now, did Ftisk go all mad-science and throw in a Jacob's Ladder and vacuum tubes, or is it solid state? :)
<Ftisk> (normally is cutting edge technology... but still the vacuum tube is tempting)

  • DanteE checks Johan with The Sight and Mythic, then looks over the panel

<Random_Nerd> (As long as it's big, and has a pointy end where the beam comes it, it can come in whatever aesthetic Ftisk prefers.)
<Random_Nerd> (Johan is entirely mundane. Mythically, he has his legs, but has an immensely obese man sitting on his shoulders.)
<DanteE> (... what's the obese guy?)
<Random_Nerd> (Oh, and we have a big storm coming in, so we may lose power. If we drop offline, it's probably that, so give it five minutes and if we're not back by then, we're gone.)
<Random_Nerd> (You could ask the obese guy, if you want.)
<Theresa> (Some kind of addiction? Despair?)
<DanteE> "One sec..."

  • DanteE asks the mythic obese guy: "Who are you?"

<Random_Nerd> Obese guy: "Fuck you. I heard why you're here."
<Ftisk> This transmogrifier is a pointing thing with wheels to point to the subject the ray and is a pyramid at square base that rest on a side. Also is smaller that the previous version
<Random_Nerd> Obese: "I got a nice situation set up here, and you have to come and mess with it."
<DanteE> to the docs: "You guys been going a little heavy on his painkillers?"
<Random_Nerd> Johan: "I'm not on anything, at the moment. I'm pretty much healed up, as much as I'm gonna be."
<Random_Nerd> They nod.
<Random_Nerd> Johan: "Why? You need to dope me up first?"
<DanteE> ... OK, psych training and Aspect. How did he sound when he said that?
<Random_Nerd> (Curious.)
<Random_Nerd> (Oh, but you didn't hear him say that. You heard him say that he hasn't had an oak tree in his brain for /weeks/.)
<DanteE> to Johan: "We're just looking at the monkey on your back."
<Random_Nerd> (The rest, who weren't looking at the mythic, heard what I said first.)
<Random_Nerd> Johan: "O...kay."
<Random_Nerd> Mythic Johan: "Had it taken out back and shot, don't worry."
<DanteE> (?)
<Random_Nerd> (You're looking at things mythically still, yes?)
<DanteE> (Yep...)
<Random_Nerd> (You hear him say different things, when you are.)
<DanteE> (Aside from the obese guy, Johan looks normal in mythic, right?)
<Random_Nerd> (Well, he has his legs, in mythic.)
<Random_Nerd> (Other than that, yes.)
<Ftisk> (Then zap it!)
<Random_Nerd> (What do you do, Dante?)
<DanteE> (OK, guys, any idea what the oak in the brain represents? Way too many painkillers?)
<Ftisk> (maybe is a depression?)
<DanteE> to a doc: "How long have you been treating him?"
<Random_Nerd> Doc: "Me personally?"
<Theresa> (Dunno. Oak doesn't have any connections with painkillers. that's more poppies and willows and such.)
<DanteE> "Well, this hospital"

  • DanteE wheels him into position

<Theresa> (It could be guilt. How'd he lose his legs?)
<Random_Nerd> Johan: "Been here about four months. I'm not here full-time, but I was here seeing my physical therapist."

  • Ftisk show to someone "this control do this, this one that, etc etc..."

<DanteE> "What happened to your legs?"
<Random_Nerd> Johan: "Steel girder. Broken crane. Wrong place, wrong time. Just bad luck, nobody's fault."
<DanteE> (and how does obese guy respond to that?)
<Random_Nerd> (Grinning.)
<Random_Nerd> The female nurse watches Ftisk's directions.
<DanteE> (was he apprehensive or lying when he said that?)
<Ftisk> (a (bad)luck spirit?)
<Random_Nerd> (He seemed weary, but not dishonest.)
<DanteE> (or a curse...)
<Random_Nerd> The obese man makes obscene gestures at Dante, and then waves his rolls of fat at him.
<DanteE> "How were things going for you before the accident?"
<Random_Nerd> Johan: "Pretty good. Had a good job. Wife, two kids."
<Random_Nerd> (Hmm. Let's see, for health insurance, Amyra favors the European model over the American one, right?)
<Theresa> (I would think so.)
<Random_Nerd> (Fits with their general politics.)
<Random_Nerd> Doctor: "Okay, we've got him wired, and the machines are showing normal responses. We're ready."
<Ftisk> "ok then"

  • Ftisk zap Johan

<Random_Nerd> (What is the machine set to turn him into?)
<Ftisk> (Human, same sex and age, other all at default)
<Ftisk> (plus healthy and with legs)
<Random_Nerd> Johan twitches, and grows thick hair all over his body. Then his front hands start to turn into paws, and then to fins, and then retract all the way into his body. He sprouts tentacles for a moment, which then retract, until his body coils up into a fleshy ball, and then extends arms like a giant starfish.
<DanteE> (Aha...) "Of course, there's a little caveat...
<Random_Nerd> Then he coils back into a ball, and starts turning into a giant fish.
<Random_Nerd> Then a sort of lizard, and then something that looks like a naked mole rat scaled up to human size.
<DanteE> "Ftisk? Is that you showing off?"
<Random_Nerd> Then he sprouts fur all over, which then falls to the ground.
<Ftisk> "No, is not me"
<Random_Nerd> And the changes stop, leaving him as a somewhat tall and thin man, with the proper number of legs.

  • Ftisk look with the sight

<DanteE> "Ah, it's the machine.
<Random_Nerd> He has not been the target of a greater miracle, and he is not an anchor, noble, or other supernatural being.
<Random_Nerd> One of the doctors lets go of the other one, who was trying to charge the machine.
<DanteE> to Johan: "So, how are you feeling?"
<Random_Nerd> Skinny-Johan, now naked and covered in slime, wipes it off his face and opens his eyes.
<Ftisk> "done"
<Random_Nerd> J: "Is it done?"
<Random_Nerd> J: "Good."
<DanteE> "Towels, please."
<Random_Nerd> He looks down.
<Random_Nerd> J: "And pants."
<Ftisk> (previous Johan was overweight?")
<Random_Nerd> (A bit of a pot-belly, but not really overweight. He was much stockier than he is now, though.)
<DanteE> (I think I've got it... the obese guy was basically Sloth, which grew when he couldn't walk or run anymore.)
<Random_Nerd> (If you say so.)
<Random_Nerd> (*steeples fingers*)
<DanteE> (Is he gone?)
<Random_Nerd> (The obese guy, to Dante's sight, is now lying on the floor, partly huddled up against a wall.)
<Ftisk> (slap him with a trout!)
<DanteE> "The caveat I mentioned earlier is that, now that you've got legs back, you need to use them. Start in with an exercise program."
<Random_Nerd> Obese mythic being: "Dirty pool! Cheater! Cheater!"
<Random_Nerd> Johan: "Can someone get me a mirror?"
<Random_Nerd> Mythic Johan: "Into whose flesh have I now been shaped?"

  • Ftisk lcreate said mirror

<DanteE> "Get that strength up and your body fat percentage down."
<Random_Nerd> (I don't really think a mirror falls under Machines.)
<Ftisk> (you are right...)
<DanteE> (Ought to be one around, though)
<Random_Nerd> (True.)
<Random_Nerd> Nurse: "There's one in the bathroom. You could use a shower. Can you walk?"
<Random_Nerd> One of the doctors, looking at the machines.
<Random_Nerd> Doc: "Utter gibberish."
<Random_Nerd> Doc: "I'm pretty sure that a third of the time he didn't even /have/ a heart."
<DanteE> "It may actually be easier to attribute this to magic."

  • Ftisk put an offended face

<DanteE> "C'mon, Ftisk, he was a fish for part of the time!"
<Random_Nerd> Admin: "And this machine, a normal person can learn to use it?"
<Ftisk> "but now is healed"
<DanteE> (Depends, can you actually find a normal person? :) )
<Ftisk> "Yes is simply to operate"
<Random_Nerd> Johan stands up, and tries to walk, but nearly falls. The male nurse catches and steadies him. The female nurse hands him a hospital gown.
<Random_Nerd> One of the doctors suctions a small amount of the slime off the ground and into a plastic tube.
<DanteE> "Whoops... looks like you'll need to re-learn."
<Random_Nerd> Johan: "Yeah. I'm not used to having legs again, and mine were never this long. Huh. Do you think my wife will even recognize me?"
<DanteE> (did his face or voice change?)
<Ftisk> "You are you. Your shell if different but you are the same spark"
<Ftisk> "also there is tape evidence of the transformation"
<Random_Nerd> (Yes, to some degree. He looks like he could be his earlier self's cousin, but he does look different.)
<DanteE> (Hrm...)
<DanteE> quietly, to Ftisk: "That thing could use finer control..."
<Ftisk> "Why?"
<Random_Nerd> Admin: "Will the machine work differently if the subject is under anesthesia?"
<Ftisk> "the result will be the same, why?"
<DanteE> "Simplifies things...
<Random_Nerd> Admin: "Well, you wanted us to use it on pediatric patients. I imagine that that process would be very distressing to them."
<DanteE> "OK, guys, you've seen the machine at work. It looks a little weird, I'll admit...
<Random_Nerd> A: "It was very distressing to /me/, and I was on the other side of the room."
<DanteE> "Depends on how you sell it."
<Ftisk> "Kids have not a firm grasp of identity, I believe will be more easier to them to accept the healing"
<Random_Nerd> A: "Well, the best way I can think of is as a normal operation. They go in, they get put under, they wake up after it's done."
<DanteE> "Look through the kids section of the library sometime.
<DanteE> "Or, for that matter, the cartoons they watch.
<Random_Nerd> A: "Hmm."
<DanteE> "Bring in a few of those pediatric patients right now, in fact.
<Ftisk> "uhm. In fables and in cartoons aren't there transformations that bring net capabilities to them?"
<Ftisk> new instead of net
<DanteE> "I'm inclined to think you should start with the pediatric oncology patients. Cancer-free in one zap? They'll be all over it."
<DanteE> "and if they're a fish for a moment, big deal."
<Random_Nerd> A: "Yes. Patients at risk of dying should be a high priority."

  • Ftisk quietly to Dante: "I can add vestigial small wings to the kids?"

<DanteE> to Ftisk: "Naah, stick to human. This is weirding out the docs enough as is."
<Ftisk> "Ok, ... I think that the kids will really appreciate but... never mind"
<Random_Nerd> A: "Can you send us someone who can give us details on how the machine works, so we can be able to tell patients what they can expect?"
<Ftisk> "Do you have someone with a technical background?"
<Random_Nerd> A: "My brother's a mechanical engineer, does that count? What kind of technical background?"
<Random_Nerd> A: "But I meant, more... how can we use it? What kind of settings will produce what kind of results?"
<Ftisk> "oh, then I can do a little course to 6 persons"
<DanteE> (Ftisk can make an owner's manual with a LC, right?)
<Ftisk> (yes, I believe)
<Random_Nerd> (Yeah.)
<Ftisk> (lc Machinery or Data )
<DanteE> (How's Johan?)
<DanteE> (Both, really)
<Random_Nerd> (The nurse walked him away. He's getting cleaned up, and trying to adjust to the legs.)

  • Ftisk lCreate the manual, then give it to A

<Random_Nerd> (LC of Data, for the manual. A manual is the concrete product of the thoughts of a sentient being.)
<Ftisk> "this is the operation manual for the transmogrifier"
<Random_Nerd> A: "Am I correct in believing that this is the same sort of device used to help the... changed people?"
<Ftisk> (ok, I chalk off 2DMP)
<Ftisk> "Yes, but scaled down to humans operational"
<DanteE> "Yes... there's a similar machine being used to un-change a few of them."
<Random_Nerd> A: "So should we talk to... ah... your other assistant? The de... the peculiar looking man with the injured leg."
<Random_Nerd> (Lesson's non-matching legs are not, actually, the result of an injury, Demons just aren't as consistently symmetrical as humans. But she doesn't know that.)
<DanteE> "I'd stick with this manual here."
<Random_Nerd> A: "Just as well."
<Ftisk> (But a Transmogrifier can give him a more symmetrical layout?)
<DanteE> "In the meantime... let's get those kids in here, shall we?"
<Random_Nerd> (If he wanted it to, maybe.)
<DanteE> (It wouldn't bounce off his Anchor-protection?)
<Ftisk> (the trasm is a mundane machine)
<Random_Nerd> (I don't think so. It's mundane.)
<Random_Nerd> (And unlike a Noble, an Anchor doesn't have access to the Rite of Holy Fire.)
<Random_Nerd> (So, shall we stop it here? We seem to have slowed down.)
<Ftisk> (aspect listen to hear the kids)
<DanteE> (Hm... I'm debating whether it's worth it to push Dante's and my inherent impatience to get those kids de-cancered right now, actually.)
<Ftisk> (ok, we can stop, but we can also cure the kids)
<Random_Nerd> (They don't have anyone who's in the "two weeks to live" situation, although several have less than a year.)
<DanteE> (Yeah, cure the kids... some of them might even be amused by turning into a whatsis. :) )
<Random_Nerd> (Well, we can do that next session, or off-camera.)
<Random_Nerd> (At the very least, it will take days. They'll have to talk to the kids' parents, and the kids, and tell them about the machine, and so on.)
<DanteE> (OK, top priority is to whoever's in danger of dying immediately, regardless of age. Secondary priority is kids with horrible diseases.)
<Random_Nerd> (It's not like they can just knock on the door of the children's wing and say "Who wants to turn into a giant starfish for a bit?")
<DanteE> (Why the heck not?!? :) )
<Ftisk> (will be the thing that Ftisk will surely do!)
<Ftisk> (or better first he'll zap them then ask! :-P )
<DanteE> (... suddenly I'm getting a weird image of a scene that's basically the opposite of the House 'Hello sick people!' scene...)
<Random_Nerd> (Oh?)
<Ftisk> (oh? too)
<DanteE> (Hang on while I find it on YouTube...)
<Ftisk> (RN, do you want to place the stop sign here?)
<Random_Nerd> (Yeah.)
<Random_Nerd> ____________STOP_______________
<DanteE> (OK.)
=-= YOU are now known as Nandom
<Theresa> (Braaaaaaains...)
<Nandom> (yes please!)
=-= Theresa is now known as BethE
=-= DanteE is now known as Knockwood
=-= YOU are now known as Ftisk
<Ftisk> Well, I believe no Mimic this time...
<Knockwood> Well, you never know...
<Random_Nerd> So, what'd you guys think of that session?
<Ftisk> right.
<Ftisk> BTw Ftisk has brim warding. If he touches a mimic he will be revealed?
<Random_Nerd> A full mimic?
<Random_Nerd> Hmm...
<Ftisk> Was a nice change of pace. Is a plus. BUT Beth was cut out. Is a minus.
<Ftisk> a shard then
<Random_Nerd> Mimics don't have shards.
<Random_Nerd> They have Nobles.
<BethE> I had fun being the peanut gallery.  :)
<Ftisk> oh
<Random_Nerd> And such a noble would not be revealed.
<Ftisk> but half the fun to be into the gallery is make the comments...
<BethE> Plus I felt that Theresa was kind of ignoring her Estate a little and some off-screen working is good for her.
<Random_Nerd> A full mimic would be made uncomfortable, but could probably hide it unless they were caught by surprise.
<Random_Nerd> Of course, they still couldn't find Ftisk.
<Ftisk> ok, nice round up on the brim warding effect on mimic
<Ftisk> culdn't find Ftisk. I miss this piece
<Knockwood> yeah, those floating snails don't attract attention much...
<Ftisk> But Ftsik can search and find a mimic or t he mimic will refuse to acknowledge it?
<Random_Nerd> Mimics tend not to break character.
<Knockwood> Bingo! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utwjjV_EEZ8 starting at 1:39
<Random_Nerd> At least, unless they have the chance to do some really big harm to Creation's defenses.
<Random_Nerd> So, finding them is hard.
<Ftisk> uhm.. and outside the W.wall brim W. will function?
<Random_Nerd> You can try!
<Ftisk> I surely will!
<Knockwood> The wall will eat your brains, Ftisk
<Ftisk> btw we must send Gnomely outside!
<Random_Nerd> Easiest kind of Excrucian to spot is a Warmain. They're pretty blatant around it, riding around on big shiny horses and stabbing things.
<Ftisk> and then let the locust eat alt. Shadows
<Random_Nerd> Killing them, though, can be a bit of a problem.
<Ftisk> no, no killing them. We want a truce... right?
<Ftisk> sharing estates and so on
<Ftisk> like with Suebi
<Knockwood> The existence of the Active Writing estate on both sides does open up the possibility of a compromise
<Ftisk> or a lest this is what Ftisk want
<BethE> Well, guys, I had fun.  :) I think I'm going to head on in to bed. Good game and good night! *HUGS*
<Ftisk> Bye Beth! *Hugs*
<Knockwood> g'night Beth... sorry you didn't get a chance to do much
<Random_Nerd> Later, guys.
<BethE> I still had fun, though.  :) You guys didn't mind my comments, at least.
<Ftisk> they where too little
