[BethE] Hi guys! *HUGS*
[Verithe] Hi!
[Angelo] Hi Beth!
[BethE] How are you?
[Verithe] ?

  • Angelo is in peace with the rest of universe

[Knockwood] Hi guys
[BethE] Hi Knock!
[Knockwood] did I miss anything?
[Random_Nerd] Nope.
[Angelo] HI Knock!
[Verithe] Hello!
[Angelo] this weekend you American guys do the dst change right? One hour backward, right?
[BethE] Yep.
[Knockwood] ayep
[Random_Nerd] Yeah.
[Angelo] ok
[Random_Nerd] Oh, hey. I'd had some interest in using Google Wave to handle some of the character sheets and similar stuff for this game. Do all of you guys have accounts, and does anyone have a problem with doing it that way?
[BethE] I have an account and I'm okay with it. I would just have to remember to use it.
[Knockwood] I don't have an account...
[Angelo] uhm... _if_ is for character sheets then a wiki will do the same without all the hype
[Knockwood] yeah, the Wiki's there for a reason. :)
[Random_Nerd] Arguably. I just wanted to try it out this way, see how it works.
[Random_Nerd] I mean, if it works worse, we can always go back to the old way.
[Angelo] well I'm ok for a try, if this pc can handle the page
[Verithe] Sounds interesting.
[Knockwood] Worth a shot, been meaning to look at Google Wave anyway
[Random_Nerd] I'd had some thoughts on doing some setting-establishing stuff that way, by taking some of the stuff we have on Amyra and putting it up in a way that we can all easily edit and add to it.
[Random_Nerd] I thought some of the mapping gizmos could work with that, potentially.
[Random_Nerd] So, let's see, who needs invites?
[Verithe] I don't have Google Wave, currently.
[Random_Nerd] Okay. What's an email address I can send an invite to?
[Verithe] xxx at yyy
[BethE] Mapping gizmos?
[Knockwood] you have my email, ne?
[Angelo] (the gizmo piece is still in beta ... there is no need to worry Beth.. :-P )
[Verithe] I think so.
[Random_Nerd] I probably do somewhere, but it'd be easier if you'd just tell it to me now.
[Angelo] I have your mail! I have your mail! Is here near the snail doll and the yellow duck!
[Verithe] ...yellow duck?
[Knockwood] yyy at xxx
[BethE] I was more going to ask about the snail doll.
[Angelo] yes! my yellow duck called "papara"
[Random_Nerd] Okay, invitations sent. May take a little while for them to go through, I'm not sure.
[Random_Nerd] Now, on to the game.
[Angelo] game? what game?
[Random_Nerd] Anything about it you guys wanted to discuss before we start?
[Angelo] We already meet the mimic?
[Knockwood] may or may not be a mimic. May be something close.
[Random_Nerd] You have a theory on that front, at least.
[Knockwood] Right... not to mention a goofy plan to sort everything out. :)
[BethE] Theresa has a question or two to ask _about_ Jan Ben Jan.
[BethE] But that can be done in game.
=-= BethE is now known as Theresa
[Random_Nerd] Okay. Are we ready to go?
[Theresa] Ready
=-= Verithe is now known as Chytosid
=-= YOU are now known as Ftisk
=-= Knockwood is now known as DanteE
[Random_Nerd] _____________START_______________
[Random_Nerd] Dante and Theresa step through the wall, and find themselves in the conference room.

  • Ftisk float around with Dollphaniel showing her the place (the tower)
  • Theresa looks down at the cup of fallen angel's blood she has.

[Random_Nerd] (Let's bring in the new PC in this session. Did you have any preferences on how he comes in?)
[Theresa] (Are the Aides in sight?)
[DanteE] (good idea)
[Random_Nerd] William: "How did it go?"
[Random_Nerd] (Yes. Both were sitting at the table with a book or two.)
[DanteE] "Strange. Mind bending. Potentially apocalyptic. You know, the usual."
[Ftisk] "Is not going William.. she refute to bond.. "
[Chytosid] (No preferences, really. Maybe somewhat volcanic, due to the nature of the portal-maker)
[Random_Nerd] William: "Hmm. Do you know if it's your own lack of hatred or... other sufficient emotional connection?"
[DanteE] (long as you don't burn down the tower...)
[Theresa] "You two are probably used to dealing with things that might go off like a nuclear bomb at the slightest twitch... Oh, by the way, William, you might be an edition behind in your heraldry phone book."
[Ftisk] (Amyra have volcanoes!)
[Random_Nerd] William: "Hmm?"
[Theresa] "I'd like to know the quickest way to get something to Jan Ben Jan."
[Random_Nerd] (You'd probably have a decent idea of what things are like in Amyra based on stuff from Ftisk, enough to pick a safe location.)
[Random_Nerd] William: "A physical object?"
[Theresa] "Oh, the young man we talked with on the other side of the gate had a newer-looking edition of the Noble phonebook. Yes, physical object. Wooden cup, filled with fallen angel blood. I am just a wee bit paranoid about angel blood for some reason."
[Random_Nerd] William: "Oh, that. This one has all my notes in it."
[Ftisk] "You have fallen Angel blood?!?"
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Wait, Fallen Angel blood?"
[DanteE] (it could have volcanoes... check out a tectonic plate map)
[Ftisk] "Can I see it????"
[Theresa] "This is _not_ a cake bowl where everyone gets to fight over who gets to lick the spoon."
[DanteE] "Right. We were planning on a smoothie."
[Random_Nerd] (Good point. Amyra would have fault lines, based on where it is.)
[Theresa] "It's in this cup, Ftisk, but just _look_. No tastes, no spills, no oops, _please_."
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Where'd you get Angel blood?"
[Ftisk] ".. so no little taste... you are erasing all the funs part of it!"
[Random_Nerd] It just looks like normal blood, except that it isn't clotting, and that it smells more strongly of iron.
[DanteE] "Oh, that's a _fun_ story...

  • Ftisk look with some remaining interest... Start to move a manipulator toward the bowl then change his mind

[DanteE] "We met Eprot Appeka."
[Theresa] "Ftisk, the last time I dealt with angel blood, I lost an arm and we lost a good chunk of the city. I don't want to have to make more deals..."
[Chytosid] (Doesn't even need to be a full-blown volcano. Maybe just some sort of geothermal vent or hot spring)
[Random_Nerd] William: "I... assume you don't mean Attaris?"
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "You drained the blood of a dead angel? Cool."
[Theresa] "We didn't even need a Tardis..."
[DanteE] "Right. We went to the section of the Spirit World corresponding to the Second Age."
[Ftisk] "And refuse me a little sip?"
[Random_Nerd] William: "Ah. The Spirit World. I don't really understand it."
[Theresa] "Hey, he was alive at the time! But he thought I gave him a prophecy and gave the blood for it. _I_ don't want to take tribute away from a Lord of an Age."
[DanteE] "This is from Eprot."
[DanteE] "Also... we learned his other domains."
[Theresa] "I'm sorry, Ftisk. But I don't know what this would do to you. Plus, it might corrupt you in horrible ways."
[DanteE] "William, I think those Domains are a Big Question, ne?"

  • Ftisk sad eyes, full power on Theresa! "Well would be a tiny winy drop. Pretty please?"

[Theresa] "I thought it was just Ananda's that were the big mystery."

  • Theresa Aspect-3 dodges the sad snail eyes!

[Ftisk] (nice counter :-P )
[Theresa] (That's not even the big guns. ^^ )
[Random_Nerd] William: "Which Domains?"
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Everyone knows Ananda's Domains."
[DanteE] "Terae and the Principle of Division."

  • Ftisk float lower and search, again, the room for Dollphanienl

[Theresa] "Ananda's got to have more than two domains."
[Random_Nerd] William: "Those are probably in the records, somewhere. It's just... considered to be in poor manners to talk too much about... ah... the original form of Ebrot Appeka."
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "He's got three!"
[Theresa] "Okay, more than three. I forgot the Infinite."
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "That isn't all that rare of a number, you know. Most Imperators don't have more than three or four."
[DanteE] "Well, they're big ones..."
[Theresa] "Unless they borrow other estates from other Imperators."
[Ftisk] "Like Kudzu?"
[Theresa] (*cough how many have we had over the course of this game for Kudzu? cough*)
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Kudzu is a bit eccentric."
[Ftisk] (around 10?)
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "I hope this doesn't come as a shock."
[Random_Nerd] (Just five, I thought. Plants, Courage, Numbers, Urbanization, Capriciousness. And one of those was taken from another Imperator.)
[Chytosid] (Hope?)

  • Ftisk land on Will shoulder, sinister one

[Theresa] (Plants, Courage (borrowed Blades), Numbers, Urbanization (I, II, III), Hope, Capriciousness...)
[DanteE] "What does it mean that his other Estates no longer exist, though?"
[Ftisk] (and stories?)
[Random_Nerd] (Oh, Hope, of course.)
[Theresa] (Stories was from a different chancel.)
[Ftisk] (my bad, sorry)
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Pretty much the same as if the Excrucians took them, except they didn't get the Estates either."
[Ftisk] "ohh ,what a waste!"
[Ftisk] " A least something remain if the excrus get them..."
[DanteE] "... how do you know they didn't get them?"
[Random_Nerd] William: "They don't automatically get dead Estates, as far as we know."
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Or if they do, they aren't telling."
[Random_Nerd] William: "True, the process of what they do is poorly understood. But it does seem like they need to perform certain specific rituals to do whatever it is that they do."

  • Ftisk whisper in William ear "And we trust excru for a report on the estates they got?"

[Random_Nerd] William: "It's a working theory, but I think a solid one."
[Random_Nerd] William: "If they just got them from dead Imperators, would they have to go to all the trouble they do to get access to their corpses?"
[DanteE] "So you just want to give this to Jan Ben Jan?"
[Ftisk] "So we count the corpses we can take back home?"
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Why Jan, anyway?"
[Ftisk] "Refuting the one that is so near to you to be your brother celestis with a different hat a sip!"
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Hey, if we had someone that Ebrot Appeka loved, could you use this to anchor them to him?"
[Random_Nerd] William: "Not only is that a bad idea, I don't think it would work. The anchoring isn't automatic with the blood, that actual Noble or Imperator needs to give it."
[Ftisk] "I say that is worth a try! For science!"
[Theresa] "I want to give the whole thing, cup and all to Jan. Because Ebrot gave this to me in exchange for something he thought was a prophecy. Plus, we were from the future, so it made sense to him."
[Random_Nerd] William: "And ix-nay on the L-word."
[DanteE] (where's our new player? :) )
[Random_Nerd] (Now would be a good time to bring him in. That sound good to you?)
[Theresa] "And I don't want to dump it out as a libation. It'd ruin the ground water table."
[DanteE] (sure)

  • Chytosid nods

[Ftisk] (sure!)
[Theresa] (Sure, but I want the bloody cup gone before tonight's over.  :) )
[Ftisk] (just leave the task to Ftisk!)
[Random_Nerd] William: "Well, it's not like it's Entropy's blood. This stuff is from a Fallen Angel, but Ymera Appeka never spent much time in Hell. He was high-status enough to stay out most of the time, even back then when almost no Fallen Angels got parole."
[Ftisk] "Wow!"
[DanteE] (Ok, now I'm thinking chug. :) )
[Theresa] "Well, that makes me feel a little better. But still, do we need another Monty?"
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Do you think you could get Lesson to sprout another heart?"
[Ftisk] "The hell if full of daemon... Sam"
[DanteE] (reminds me. where's my imp?)
[Random_Nerd] (You don't know.)
[Random_Nerd] (I'm sure that's no cause for alarm.)
[Theresa] "I...don't know. Sprout is the operative word, there."

  • Ftisk switch Will shoulder (sliming it during the travel)

[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Well, the current one /is/ his heart. Technically..."
[Random_Nerd] William sighs.
[Ftisk] "Ah, if I recall, Theresa, you created a heart for him, right?"
[Theresa] "Technically. But I'm not in the mood to go to Australia. So, does Jan Ben Jan have a courier service?"
[Theresa] "Yes, I did."
[Random_Nerd] William: "Not as such. Hmm."
[Theresa] "Or more technically, I created a plant that is working as a heart for him."

  • Ftisk notice the trail and become embarrassed
  • Ftisk blushes

[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Well, that's still his heart. I mean, who else's heart is it?"
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "That should totally work."
[Random_Nerd] William: "Sam... didn't the original thing require a /feather/, not blood?"
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Oh. Well, it /might/ work. We could toss Lesson's heart into the cup, just to see what happens."
[Ftisk] "Yay!"
[DanteE] "... it did. Which would mean angel _blood_ is amazingly powerful..."
[DanteE] "and Lesson's heart got eaten."
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Okay, let's see. We need a rabbit... no, a bunch of rabbits..."

  • Ftisk aspect (2) sneak after Theresa....

[Theresa] "If Kudzu wants this blood, he just has to ask. But other than that, it's going to Jan Ben Jan, since it was given as payment."
[DanteE] "Unless you have a decent recipe book..."

  • Theresa aspect-3 casually dodges and innocently looks out the window.

[Random_Nerd] William: "Please don't make an angel-blood black sausage."
[Theresa] "Oh and apparently, in a different timeline, Lucifer died."
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Wait, what?"
[Random_Nerd] (So, did we want to have Ftisk tell everyone that one of his siblings wanted to visit, or what?)
[Chytosid] (I don't know if Ftisk got told.)
[Ftisk] (no one told me but we can retcon easily)
[Random_Nerd] (Well, did you tell him?)
[Theresa] "Yeah, apparently some other timeline visited him and said that Lucifer had died early on."
[DanteE] (and technically, wouldn't doing anything else with the blood involve assembly? :) )
[Ftisk] (I believe a yes is Dante answer!)
[Chytosid] (Probably didn't. I imagine that's how things go in the family. Chytosideron just does things.)
[Random_Nerd] (Okay, then you can just show up.)

  • Chytosid pecks at the Amyran "doorbell".

[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Weird. And this wasn't just someone from the future?"
[Random_Nerd] (Everyone but Ftisk, you hear a sound. It seems like a fire crackling, crossed with a ringing bell.)
[DanteE] "I think he said third age, didn't he?"
[Random_Nerd] (And don't ask me how the two are combined. It's magic, a Noble did it.)

  • Ftisk whisper into Will ear "What are the know properties of angel blood?"

[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Does this have anything to do with the cat that's in the box?"
[Random_Nerd] William: "Depends on the angel."
[DanteE] (How much fluid is in this cup, anyway?)
[DanteE] "and who rang?"
[Ftisk] "This angel" *point to the cup§*

  • Chytosid pecks at the doorbell a whole lot.

[Random_Nerd] William: "A dead angel, from a previous Age, who may have turned into a Wildlord instead of dying? I have no idea."
[DanteE] "Hang on a second...
[Theresa] "If this is the Noble equivalent of Ding Dong Ditch, I am going to have a talk with...someone."

  • DanteE heads down to the first floor...

[Random_Nerd] The bell-crackle is heard again, louder.

  • DanteE draws a door on a spare wall downstairs

[Random_Nerd] (Hmm. So, you have § on your keyboard, Angelo? Wish my keyboard had it, it'd be handy for doing citations.)

  • DanteE calls to the drawn door: "Who is it?"

[Random_Nerd] The outline of the door seems to catch fire, but it's a fire that doesn't spread beyond the rectangle of the traced door.
[Ftisk] (yes standard Italian keyboard :-P )
[Random_Nerd] (Any kind of citation of a legislative law has to have that symbol at least once. It's very annoying.)
[Random_Nerd] Then the interior of the rectangle also seems to burn.
[Ftisk] (ohh what a drag!)
[Random_Nerd] (You can step through, now.)
[DanteE] (I think you can tweak your keyboard in Winblows, ne?)
[Random_Nerd] (It's alt-0167, on the num-pad.)
[Random_Nerd] (Yeah, probably. Haven't gotten around to it yet.)
[Chytosid] "My name is Chytosideron, Lord of Assembly. Am I correct in assuming that this is the Chancel of Ymera Kudzu?”
[Ftisk] "Chytosideron! Oh I'm glad you are well!!!"
[DanteE] "Yes. Do you have our pizza?"
[DanteE] (You're 2 floors above him, Ftisk. :) )
[Ftisk] (ops! sorry )
[Random_Nerd] (Well, Ftisk has Aspect 2, right? He can hear him.)

  • Chytosid sounds like he's calling back to some one. "You got the right place. They want pizza."
  • Ftisk float off will shoulder. "I'm sorry... If you want we can go into another room and I can leave your skirt and clean it Will... "

[Ftisk] (then... :-P )
[DanteE] "I'm kidding... from what I hear, you're with Ftisk's family?"
[Chytosid] "That's right!"
[DanteE] "Come on in."
[Random_Nerd] (Dante hasn't actually mentioned the little demon out loud, right?)

  • Ftisk shout louder that 2 floor distance "Chytosideron! Oh I'm glad you are well!!!"

[DanteE] (The imp? Nope.)
[Chytosid] "Thank you!" A heron-like bird with metallic-looking feathers steps through the door.
[Random_Nerd] William: "No... no... I know this one, don't tell me..."
[Theresa] (Will sounds like he's cramming for finals.)
[DanteE] (So, Vulcan gave us the bird? (rimshot) )
[Random_Nerd] William: "Not machines, that's Ftisk..."
[Random_Nerd] William: "But the bird, not the snail..."
[Chytosid] "It's a pleasure to meet you."
[Ftisk] "wait Will ..." *me float full speed toward Chytosideron *
[Random_Nerd] The door stops burning, leaving a somewhat charred section of wall.
[Random_Nerd] William: "Assemblages!"
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Assembly."
[Random_Nerd] William sighs.
[Ftisk] (cutting thought the walls)
[DanteE] "Hi there. Dominus Animus et Gladia."
[Chytosid] "Ftiskaaaahk Sn'Gnok! How have you been?"
[Ftisk] "Really Weeeeeeeell!!!"
[Random_Nerd] William stares at the walls, invoking his sight of the How Much Is This Going To Cost To Repair world.

  • Ftisk hug Chytosideron
  • Ftisk give a big kiss onto right cheek at him then on left cheek
  • Chytosid reciprocates.

[Ftisk] "Came these Nobles are F*a*n*t*a*s*t*i*c"
[DanteE] "Let go up and see the others..."
[Theresa] "I think I'll stay here until the meet and greet calms down a bit. This sounds...enthusiastic."
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "I think he was huffing the demon blood."
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Wait, angel blood."
[Ftisk] "Ahm they gave me the inspiration for a new name!"
[Chytosid] "If you're 'animus et gladia', you must be 'Dante', correct?"
[Theresa] (You should introduce him to his 'nephew' too.  :) )
[DanteE] "Yes. :)"
[DanteE] "The others are up on the third floor..."
[Ftisk] (yes with due time)
[Chytosid] "New name?"
[Theresa] "No one's huffing anything supernatural at the moment. I don't care if someone comes by with the Estate of Cookies and begs for the cup for dunking."
[Chytosid] "To the third floor, then!"
[Ftisk] "Yes yes yes do you remember chancel folk always can't say mine... then I have a better one now... Ftisk!!"
[Chytosid] (That would be hilarious!)

  • DanteE leads everyone upstairs...

[Ftisk] (Theresa: lol!!!)
[Chytosid] "Oooh! I want a short name, too! "
[DanteE] "I have a feeling you'll be 'the Bird' before too long anyway."
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "We don't get to huff /anything/ supernatural?"

  • Ftisk pat on Chytosideron shoulder "Yes , I'm sure that they can arrange one for you too!"

[Random_Nerd] William: "You don't have lungs, Sam."
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "But still..."
[Theresa] "I don't think you should smoke Kudzu, Sam."

  • Ftisk lc a party light system + robo-dj!

[Ftisk] (who want to see Ftsik do the robo dance? :-P )
[DanteE] (You're a _snail_. :) )
[Chytosid] (A snail patting a bird on the shoulder is an interesting mental image)
[Random_Nerd] (Well, he has little pseudopods, doesn't he?)
[Chytosid] (Yes)
[Ftisk] (right 3 for each side)
[Ftisk] (and are manipulators)
[DanteE] (Let's see, is that pronounced kite-oh-sid-air-on?)
[Chytosid] (Yes)
[Random_Nerd] William: "Welcome to Locus Kudzu. I am William, of the Society of Aides, and this is Samuel, also of the Society."
[DanteE] (you could be 'kite', that's a different kind of bird. :) )
[Random_Nerd] William: "Is there anything I can arrange to make you more comfortable?"

  • Chytosid is paying more attention to Sam than William.

[Random_Nerd] (Really, a bird type rather similar to him, since a kite's a predatory bird, and a large one.)
[Random_Nerd] Sam swirls his wrappings.
[Chytosid] (Kite works)
[Theresa] "And I'm Theresa, Plants’ Regal."
[DanteE] "Did you guys decide anything while I was gone?"
[Ftisk] "Ah, Chytosideron, I got a lover, a child and an anchor all in one!"
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "No huffing the angel blood."
[Random_Nerd] Dollphaniel: "Screeee!"
[Ftisk] "And that is my last interest" *point to Dollphanienl*

  • Chytosid hurries to cover Ftisk's mouth.

[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Hey, I bet Shadows has sobered up."
[DanteE] "You do know Ftisk! :D "
[Ftisk] "I was forgetting, Chytosideron, this time how many holidays they take?"
[DanteE] (What's Dollphaniel doing?)
[Chytosid] "They're starting their fifth. They're really excited about this long absence of yours."

  • Chytosid whispers. "And don't say the L-word!"

[Ftisk] "Urg is rude! I must start brainwashing all them!"
[Theresa] "Hmm, Chtosideron, I take it you may have heard about Ftisk's meeting with the Council?"
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Good thing Gnomely isn't here."
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Did you hear about that?"

  • Ftisk mutter to myself "Chacellfollk! Always happy when I'm not in chancel!"

[Chytosid] "With the council?" Chytosideron looks at Theresa, then back at Ftisk, "Really?"
[Ftisk] "Yes really!"
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "I'm pretty sure that Entropy was just too shocked to kill him."
[Ftisk] "Entropy near Take away my child but our bond is stronger and He have to give Gnomely to me"
[Chytosid] "It looks like you're still in one piece."

  • Ftisk do the thump up with the manipulators
  • Chytosid glances at Sam, a look of birdy horror dawning.

[Chytosid] "What happened?"
[DanteE] "He actually admitted he L-words his Anchor-bot."

  • Chytosid facewings.

[Ftisk] "Hey! I have *feeling* he is my Lword, as you say, child!"
[Theresa] (I like the phrase 'a look of birdy horror dawning')
[Random_Nerd] (Indeed.)
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "So, you're a bird, huh?"
[Chytosid] "You have feelings, yes, but some feelings are meant to be hidden in a metaphorical steel vault."
[Random_Nerd] William assumes the "Choosing to inhabit the world in which Sam did not just say that" face.
[Theresa] (He has a lot of practice with that face, huh?)

  • Chytosid ruffles feathers in pride as he steps a little too close to Sam. "Yes! Yes, I am! I'm glad you noticed!

[Theresa] "Welcome to our Chancel, by the way."
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Rock on, bird-Noble."

  • Ftisk float to will and.. look sad
  • Theresa gives William a look like, "Okay, _I_ didn't see Sam huff the angel blood, did you?"
  • DanteE looks at Sam...

[DanteE] "Anyway... this stuff.
[DanteE] "Fallen Angel blood.
[DanteE] "This should probably be encased in concrete...
[Ftisk] "Ah, Entropy gave Gnomely a 'gift' ... some of his locust ... "
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "It is the role of those of us of the Society of Aides to attempt to match our demeanor to what seems appropriate under the circumstances, and in particular, for what would be appropriate in interacting with the Nobles we find ourselves working for or with, Dante."
[Random_Nerd] William: "Wait, hold on. Was it a gift?"
[Random_Nerd] (It wasn't. It was a payment.)
[Theresa] "The blood? No, it was a payment."
[Ftisk] "Well poetic license here"

  • Chytosid inspects Sam with a few millimeters of distance. "A gift?"

[Theresa] "Do you remember the Vision that Hope displayed? With the Ash?"
[Theresa] "We have a precious item that we need to get to an Imperator and we're trying to decide the best way to contact him and get the item to him."
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "Wild thing."
[Random_Nerd] Sam hums a few bars.
[Theresa] (Can Dionyl get drunk?)

  • Ftisk lc a cleaner for Will dress

[Random_Nerd] (Yes, but not with alcohol.)

  • DanteE checks the fluid level of the cup...

[Random_Nerd] William: "Normally, I would suggest asking Shadows if we could use his pigeon, but I don't think feeding the blood of an Angel to something from outside Creation would be good."
[Ftisk] (sound wave! these are the alcohol of Dionyl)
[Random_Nerd] (Yeah, very particular patterns of sound or wind.)
[Random_Nerd] (Oh, and being in very thin air can do it. The vibrations don't conduct as well.)
[DanteE] "I think you need to visit him the same way you did last time."
[Theresa] (Looking that up.)
[DanteE] (any odd vibes or pressure changes in the room?)
[Random_Nerd] (Some pressure changes, due to the holes in the walls and floor.)

  • Chytosid begins to play with one of Sam's scarves.

[DanteE] (... what holes?)
[Chytosid] (Snail-shaped holes)
[Ftisk] (the one I made hurrying to meet the bird brother)
[Random_Nerd] Sam giggles.
[DanteE] (There it is... "The Vision" page on the Wiki)

  • Ftisk aspect take the blood’s bowl

[Ftisk] (from Sam)
[Theresa] (Sam doesn't have the blood. Theresa still does.)

  • Theresa dodges again.

[Ftisk] (Was to save the blood but if you have it the there is no need to take the bowl in a safe place)
[DanteE] "I heard Sam's account of your visit... I'd kinda like to see Jan Ben Jan myself."
[Theresa] "I remember how we got in touch with Jan Ben Jan. Brian contacted his Chancel using periwinkle and then Ben Jan told him that he accepted the request and to burn the flower. He came for us."
[Ftisk] "we can arrange a meeting then"
[Chytosid] "With Jan Ben Jan?"
[Random_Nerd] William: "Yes, I suppose that would work."
[DanteE] "Well, we should fix the tower first..."
[Chytosid] "THE Jan Ben Jan?"
[Theresa] "Maybe the Grove would be a better place, Dante."
[Theresa] "Yes, the Lord of the Second Age."
[Ftisk] "I told you that these are interesting nobles to stay with!"

  • Ftisk lc a drone to fix the walls
  • DanteE does a Realm LDiv to see why Sam's acting so goofy...

[Ftisk] (the drone quietly gather the dispersed material all around and ultra-super-glue them together in their old places)
[Random_Nerd] (Part of it's that he's trying to be less serious, because the new Noble seems a bit frivolous. Part of it's that Ftisk is flying all around the room, and some of the air vibrations are shaking Sam up a bit.)
[Chytosid] "Not just some silly ceramic "I survived the Second Age" buddha-like statuette rendering?
[Chytosid] "Ah."
[Random_Nerd] (But part is just... okay, Sam's a city-raised Dionyl. He's used to adapting himself to what he sees as the relevant mood of an area. He's doing it by almost reflex.)
[Ftisk] (I can crate a wind booze for Sam.. uhmmm this is a good idea!)
[Theresa] "Why don't we head down to the Grove? It's very relaxing. If you would follow me?"
[Ftisk] (and remember there are strobe light, a loud music in the background and so on)
[DanteE] (So he's acting goofy because this scene's for the birds? :) )

  • Chytosid follows Theresa

[DanteE] "Yeah, let's visit another Imperator of an Age."
[Random_Nerd] (Largely. It's a dionyl thing, but more in a cultural than a physical way. A eremite Dionyl would act very differently in Sam's place.)
[Chytosid] "Another? How many have you met so far?"

  • Ftisk grab Dollphaniel and follow the others

[Random_Nerd] Dollphaniel: "Sccrrr?"

  • Ftisk cuddle her even

[Random_Nerd] Doll: "Scccr."
[Theresa] "Myself and our Brother Numbers have met Jan Ben Jan before. I traded my fingers for answers to his questions, per his rules."
[DanteE] "This blood's from Ebrot Appeka."

  • Ftisk scratch her around the ears

[Chytosid] "Isn't that one...dead?"
[Theresa] "And we've met an Avatar of Attaris Ebrot Appeka."
[DanteE] "Is your doll acting better?"
[Ftisk] "Yess seem that she is better now"
[Random_Nerd] Sam: "I did meet Ananda once. Was in the same room as him, at least."
[Theresa] "Oh yes, and Ananda. Have met him twice."
[Chytosid] "Fascinating!"
[Ftisk] "Oh, me too at the council"
[Chytosid] "All these adventures I've been missing out on!"

  • Chytosid wing-noogies Ftisk.

[Ftisk] "look always to the future!"
[Theresa] (Can we cut ahead to the Grove?)
[Random_Nerd] (Okay.)
[Ftisk] (k)
[DanteE] (sure)
[Random_Nerd] The maple sways in the gentle breeze.

  • Theresa smiles at the Maple.

[Ftisk] (during the trip I take the first car we meet and take a body)
[Ftisk] "This is Theresa Maple.. be ware is her!"
[Random_Nerd] (First unoccupied car, or just the first car?)
[Ftisk] (First car occupied or not)
[DanteE] ("Hello police? My car just walked off!" "You mean someone took off with your car?" "No, /my car just walked off!/" "Sir, what have you been taking?")
[Ftisk] (lol)
[Chytosid] (That poor soccer mom...)
[Random_Nerd] (The guy in the car was able to escape with quite a remarkable leap, as it turned out.)
[Ftisk] (then Ftisk will feel a bit sorry and next time , if he remember, will check before he take a car)
[Theresa] "Dante, do you want to send the message or have me do it?"
[Random_Nerd] (Have you brought Sam or William?)
[Ftisk] (Will Will! I like tease will)
[DanteE] (Probably both, to make sure they don't wind up part of the building. :) )
[Ftisk] (and Dante)
[DanteE] "You did it last time."
[Theresa] "Okay..." *thinks*

  • Theresa lc's a crown of periwinkle in her hair.
  • Ftisk go into Gnomely "Hope all is ok with the show"

[Theresa] (It's a pretty flower...)
[DanteE] (Oh, and I've got a copy of our Top Secret Report on what the Wall does and the War, :) )
[Theresa] "I pray to you, Jan Ben Jan, lord of the Second Age, giver of prophecies, knower of the worth of knowledge. I have received a payment for knowledge that I gave but said knowledge was termed a prophecy."
[Ftisk] to G: "My brother Chytosid came to visit us, when you have done I'll present you to him, is not pretty as me but is interesting"
[Theresa] "I wish to give you the payment I received as I do not feel worthy of the payment."
[Theresa] "This is Theresa, Plants' Regal and a receiver of your wisdom."
[Chytosid] (Chytosideron would be horribly offended by that if he knew...)
[Random_Nerd] About seven seconds pass.
[Random_Nerd] Then, the sun goes out.
[Ftisk] (why?)
[Chytosid] (He thinks he's quite pretty. :P)

  • Chytosid blinks at the sudden dark.

[Ftisk] (but Ftisk have an insanely high esteem of itself :-P )
[Random_Nerd] Something seems to be hovering over you. It's glowing. Faintly, but it's the brightest thing in the sky at the moment. It's roughly spherical, but knotted, and the air feels cold.
[Ftisk] "ohh its him! its him!"
[Theresa] "Sir?"

  • Ftisk float up and down febbrilly for the excitation

[Chytosid] (Hehe. Vulcan's Nobles, vain and egotistical.)
[Theresa] *sotto voice to Ftisk* "Ftisk, don't ask him for any answers unless you are willing to pay his price."
[Random_Nerd] The glowing thing in the sky turns, and shines a cold blue-white light.
[DanteE] "Yeah, and I'm not sure what exactly you could cut off."

  • Ftisk to Theresa "OK, ask only if you want to pay a price"

[Theresa] (Well, he could cut off stuff, but I think Ftisk would have more trouble with the agreement not to grow the thing back for a year and a day.)
[Random_Nerd] Sphere, in Angelic: "You stepped into my domain today, Nobles of Locus Kudzu. And you, Plants, stepped into it twice."
[DanteE] (Oh, we step in it on a regular basis. :) )
[Ftisk] (the shell, some manipulators, the 4 horns, the tongue :-P )
[Theresa] "Yes, sir. And here is the payment for knowledge, given freely by Lord Ebrot Appeka."

  • Theresa holds up the cup.

[Theresa] (I also agree with Dante's interpretation of stepping into it.)
[Random_Nerd] Sphere: "Things have prices, and it is appropriate that you act in this manner."
[Random_Nerd] The liquid in the cup is drawn up into the sky until it meets the surface of Jan ben Jan, and freezes to it.
[Random_Nerd] A small object drops down out of the sky. It's a whitish-grey, and about an inch long.
[Ftisk] (counter payment?)
[Random_Nerd] It's one joint of one of Theresa's fingers.

  • Theresa blinks.

[Ftisk] "morbid!"

  • Chytosid cocks his head to the side.
  • Ftisk go near to look better at the joint

[Random_Nerd] It's the joint closest to the hand of a right ring finger. It's very, very cold.
[Theresa] "Th...thank you, sir."
[DanteE] "Hm... it was part of him...
[DanteE] "well, it."
[Ftisk] "I repeat myself... morbid"
[Ftisk] "Theresa, what do you want do with this?"
[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan: "Do any of you wish information or inspiration?"
[Ftisk] "I"
[Ftisk] "I have a question"
[DanteE] "Have you seen our report on the effects of crossing the Wall?"
[Theresa] "I'll hang onto it, Ftisk. Thank you for asking."
[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan: "Are you familiar with the nature of the prices I charge?"

  • Theresa picks up the joint and holds onto it, although it is very cold.

[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan does not respond to Dante.
[Ftisk] "I know the one you ask Theresa"
[Ftisk] "but I can swap body and have a mail body too. The price must be visible on all them?"
[Ftisk] "or only on my main one?"
[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan: "It must be visible wherever you are physically present. And it must be either permanent, or last for the duration that I give."
[Ftisk] "ok, agreed then"
[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan: "What is your question?"
[DanteE] "Careful, Ftisk..."
[Ftisk] "Can my sweet Gnomely go outside the weirding wall with lord Entropy locust inside him without suffering bad effect from said locusts?"
[DanteE] -_O
[Ftisk] (he love Gnomely and this is Ftisk first preoccupation)
[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan: "Are you asking whether the locusts would /necessarily/ produce such an effect, or if they would /under any circumstances/ produce such an effect?"
[Ftisk] (pause please. I, Angelo don't understand the difference in JbJ question! Help!)
[DanteE] (I think it's, would they definitely cause problems vs. can they possibly cause problems?)
[Random_Nerd] (He's asking if you want to know if Gnomely going outside would as a sure thing cause problems from the locusts, or if you're asking whether anything Gnomely did Outside could possibly cause the locusts to hurt him.)
[Ftisk] (thank you guys, I'm asking the first one)
[Ftisk] "I'm asking if the locusts would /necessarily/ produce such an effect"
[Ftisk] "the other one is too broad, I think"

  • DanteE pulls out a preserved knife...

[Ftisk] (Ftisk is not even Durant... will be like cutting butter:-P )
[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan: "That, I can answer. In return... your eyes are so unique. I would have one. You would not regrow it until either three years have passed, or you personally have been Outside for at least two hundred hours of Celestial time."
[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan: "You may replace the eye before that period, but not with anything that can see, and with something that is sufficiently visually distinct as to stand out. If anyone asks, you would tell him that you had a question for Jan ben Jan, and that was the price he demanded."
[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan: "Acceptable?"
[Ftisk] "Can I make a mechanical substitute for the eye I give you?"
[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan: "Only if it visually stands out, and cannot see."
[Theresa] (Wow, interesting geas.)
[Ftisk] "Ok, is acceptable"
[DanteE] "Ftisk... take a second to consider. Trust me when I say losing an eye causes problems."
[Theresa] (But he looks up to Dante! ^^ )
[Ftisk] (true! ^^ )
[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan: "Very well. Bringing your Anchor Outside will not of itself cause the Locusts to harm him, although there may or may not be things he could do Outside that would cause the Locusts to harm him."

  • Ftisk feel relieved
  • DanteE hands the knife to Ftisk...

[Theresa] (He could sing "Love is a Battlefield!" That would get the locusts going...)

  • Ftisk take the knife
  • Ftisk after a pair of aborted try cut the eyelash a bit under the eye

[Ftisk] "This is the price for my first question" *raise the eyelash toward Jan ben Jan*
[Random_Nerd] The eye flies up into the air, and lands on the surface of Jan ben Jan, where it sticks.
[Ftisk] (I have a pirate snail! arrr!)
[Ftisk] "Jan Ben Jan, I have a second question for you"
[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan: "What is it?"
[Ftisk] "How can I gain an estate from outside the Weirding Wall?"
[Random_Nerd] (Ftisk only has two eyes, right?)
[Ftisk] (right! And the other is not for sale!)
[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan: "Ah, that is unfortunate. The price for an answer to that question is both of your eyes. Possibly one of your friends would wish to bargain on your behalf?"
[Ftisk] ( !___! you are evil! :-P )
[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan: "Or possibly you would wish to ask a more narrow question?"
[Theresa] (Yes, my husband is evil. I didn't mention this? My bad.)
[Ftisk] "No, I have no more question"
[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan: "Does anyone else wish knowledge or inspiration?"

  • Chytosid shakes head vigorously.

[DanteE] (hmmm...)
[Random_Nerd] (Questions about Outside are more pricy. Even Jan ben Jan finds it hard to get information about it.)
[Ftisk] (And mine is a _big_ question, isn't it?)

  • Theresa bows her head.

[Random_Nerd] (The second one? Yeah.)
[Ftisk] (well there is always plan a)
[DanteE] (Bumble along until we knock something over?)
[Ftisk] (seem we have finished with JbJ)
[Ftisk] (no kick an excru ass till he start to speak :-P )
[Theresa] "Thank you for your time, sir."
[Ftisk] "Your answer was much appreciated"
[Random_Nerd] Jan ben Jan: "Say hello to the Dominus of Patterns for me, the next time you speak to him."
[Ftisk] (what was that? a plot point? nahhhh)
[DanteE] (... after which he'd panic his ass off... )
[Random_Nerd] The sun turns back on, and Jan ben Jan is gone.
[Ftisk] (and "I can kill you all "tirade restart)
[Theresa] (*snort*)
[DanteE] "Strange."
[DanteE] (afk a minute)
[Random_Nerd] Theresa, what do you do with your finger?

  • Theresa looks down at the bit of finger. "I wonder if I can root it."
  • Theresa holds it where it _should_ go.

[Ftisk] "A necklace!"
[Ftisk] "or can you give it to Maple on a branch or better jet a seal! The Seal of Plant!
[Chytosid] (The opportunity to have a finger sprouting from your forehead is now!)
[Ftisk] (Theresa the unicorn-woman?)
[Random_Nerd] The finger takes root.
[Ftisk] "ohhhh Cool!"
[Theresa] "Ahh, there we go...I should remember that."
[Random_Nerd] It starts to warm, but slowly.
[DanteE] (bak)
[Theresa] "Now I know what a frozen green bean feels like."
[Chytosid] (Oooh! Numby prickles! I hate those!)
[DanteE] "I do wonder if the fact that it was part of him for a while will do anything..."

  • Ftisk contact Gnomely "Great news my dear!!! You can go outside without adverse effect from the locusts inside you"

[Theresa] "Oh, give me something new to keep me awake at night, why don't you..." *LD the cup*
[Random_Nerd] Gnomely: "Excellent. I was wondering about that. On a side note... do you know what happened to the shoes at the studio where that other show is filming?"

  • Ftisk with a mischievous voice "I officially don't know nothing on that and on the spiderbot that make all the chaos"

[Random_Nerd] Gnomely: "A shame you didn't have anything to do with it. If you did, one of the three-arm guys would owe me fifty bucks."
[DanteE] (gotta get in touch with your inner munchkin, Theresa. Maybe you'll get kewl powerz! :) )
[Random_Nerd] Gnomely: "Hypothetically."
[Ftisk] "Well you know me... I will _never_ do something like this for you"
[Random_Nerd] Gnomely: "Naturally, as that would smack of unfavorable emotional entanglements, and you would never have such a treacherous stirring, sir."
[Theresa] (My inner munchkin got stomped too many times in rounds of Dodgeball. Little kids throw _hard_.)
[DanteE] "So... now what?"
[Theresa] "Lunch?"
[Random_Nerd] (I think here's a good place to stop.)
[DanteE] (More specifically, what happens when her joint warms up?)
[Random_Nerd] (Anyone want to do anything before we end the session?)
[Ftisk] to G: "Indeed. Se you tonight. Bye Gnomely"
[Chytosid] "Lunch!"
[Chytosid] (Nope. Now's good.)
[Ftisk] (Uhm I have something planned for the night but this can wait)
[Random_Nerd] ___________STOP_____________________
[Random_Nerd] Okay.
[DanteE] heh
[Chytosid] :)
=-= YOU are now known as Angelo
=-= Chytosid is now known as Verithe
[Random_Nerd] I think the introduction of the new PC went decently. Of course, we've had a fair bit of practice by now.
[Random_Nerd] Fair warning, you will now be afflicted by a Dread Curse.
[Angelo] Was a great session. and my bird brother is there... finally! :-)
[Random_Nerd] I expect you to die, vanish, or lose all internet connection within three weeks.
=-= Theresa is now known as BethE
[Verithe] I sure hope not. D:
=-= DanteE is now known as Knockwood
[Knockwood] it happens to us...
[Angelo] But I resisted these effect so you can fight these off too!
[Verithe] I know.
[Knockwood] OK... who changes their clocks, when?
[Verithe] Maybe affiliating myself with Ftisk is good luck?
[Random_Nerd] You did sign the Curse Waiver, right?
[Verithe] I don't change my clock.
[Random_Nerd] We change them on Sunday.
[Knockwood] that means next week we play an hour later.
[BethE] Ooo, or you'll get a new significant other. That's another part of the curse.
[Angelo] then next session will be back to my normal time
[Verithe] I'm married, so I hope that doesn't happen, either.
[Angelo] ah, Verithe have a pretty scarring spider in his home balcony... it can be course prone to become giant and crazy!
[Verithe] I sure hope our giant spider doesn't get any bigger. D:
[BethE] Are you in Australia?
[Verithe] Japan
[Knockwood] you remember, he's actually not far away from Obama
[Verithe] Hehe
[Random_Nerd] The sun never sets on the Amyran Nobilis Empire!
[Verithe] Indeed!
[Verithe] Here's a picture of our spider: http://siya.deviantart.com/art/Joro-gumo-141636427
[Knockwood] Now we just need to collect all out plot glitches and put them on trading cards.
[Random_Nerd] Nice giant spider.
[Knockwood] BTW, you guys see the Exalted Achievements thread?
[BethE] Oo, pretty!
[Verithe] Not yet, Knock.
[BethE] No, I had not.
[Knockwood] ... OK, if I saw that I'd grab a flamethrower.
[Verithe] Hehe
[Angelo] no not interested in exalted
[Knockwood] well, we should be able to come up with Nobilis Achievements. :)
[BethE] There has to be a "Destroy Gem" "Destroy Gem 10 times" "Destroy Gem 100 times..."
[Random_Nerd] Heh.
[Random_Nerd] I'm pretty sure Ftisk got one for the thing that got locuts in Gnomely.
[Angelo] lol
[Angelo] btw if fluff can help, my chancellfolk go into wild holidays each time Ftisk leave the chancel... :-(
[Knockwood] Beth: no, they have to be at least a little bit tough to achieve
[Angelo] there is some subtext Knockwood?
[Angelo] :-P
[BethE] Do you know how long it would take to destroy Gem 100 times?
[Random_Nerd] Twenty-seven minutes.
[BethE] Yeah, Ftisk has gotten "The L-Word"
[BethE] They have to rebuild it to count, dear.
[Angelo] this must be an achievement for itself!
[Angelo] say L word in Entropy face and survive
[Verithe] Actually, I think surviving is easier than dying....
[Verithe] But still...
[Knockwood] talk to a diety on good terms... or bad terms...
[Random_Nerd] You can't screw with the minds of dead people.
[Knockwood] for the "Gospel According to Bob" achievement
[Random_Nerd] Well, you can if you're Entropy. But it takes too much work.
[Angelo] uhm interesting
[Angelo] (steple finger... :-Pp )
[Random_Nerd] A dead Noble isn't Noble! No immunity to direct miracles! Worldbreaker's Hand: Lesser Destruction of Death!
[Angelo] well but Death is just an handicap!
[Knockwood] Make a permanent change to the fundamental law of nature a) for a minor advantage b) to win a bet c) for funsies
[Angelo] Noble can be death Noble
[Random_Nerd] That's if you were already dead when you were Ennobled.
[BethE] Well, guys, I need to get to sleep. Thanks for the great game!  :)
[Angelo] this game need something like a contingency spell
[Verithe] Sleep well!
[Knockwood] g'night Beth.
[Angelo] Night Beth!
[BethE] Good night! *HUGS*
[Knockwood] And Verithe, welcome to the game, finally.
[Angelo] I second that too!
[Verithe] Thanks! :)
[Random_Nerd] Indeed.

[Knockwood] of course, every time someone starts a FATAL thread I feel obligated to put in a link to the rebuttal.

  • Verithe mashes persimmons.

[Angelo] btw, who is on wave now? I see only RN and Beth
