Adm H Sopko: ?
AndrewRogue: I'm doing a test level 20 build of Harkan so I know what feats to look for.
SirAlexTheFirst has entered the room.
AndrewRogue: Yo.
SirAlexTheFirst: Yo
Adm H Sopko: Yo
AndrewRogue: Triple yo
AndrewRogue: So what's up everyone?
SirAlexTheFirst: I'm just chillin, more or less.
SirAlexTheFirst: Kircie... but no Gorth.
Adm H Sopko: Gorth won't be here, methinks
AndrewRogue: Gorth is in San Fran
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh.
AndrewRogue: So... yeah. He won't be here.
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh well.
AndrewRogue: ;_;
AndrewRogue: *continues experimenting with spelllist*
AndrewRogue: So rawr.
SirAlexTheFirst: Rawr.
AndrewRogue: Merry Belated Christmas Alex.
SirAlexTheFirst: You folks too.
AndrewRogue: Enjoy it?
SirAlexTheFirst: Eh.
AndrewRogue: At least passable.
AndrewRogue: *?
SirAlexTheFirst: You could say that, I guess.
AndrewRogue: That's not much of an answer, so new subject.
AndrewRogue: Except I don't have a new subject.
SirAlexTheFirst: Well.
AndrewRogue: So I suck.
SirAlexTheFirst: I could whine, but that's no fun.
AndrewRogue: We're all entitled to whine at times if we feel the need to.
AndrewRogue: I've been listening to it a lot lately.
AndrewRogue: So if you want, go ahead.
AndrewRogue: If not... recommend two feats for a Fighter Mage.
AndrewRogue: Fighter/Mage
AndrewRogue: Oh... Energy Substitution. That's a good idea.
SirAlexTheFirst: Improved Initiative and Extra Spells.
SirAlexTheFirst: Energy Substitution is used for damage spells.
SirAlexTheFirst: As a fighter/mage, your damage spells are going to be subpar compared to what a pure mage could dish.
AndrewRogue: Not... really. I'll be casting 7th level spells, and casting like I was 18th level.
SirAlexTheFirst: That's interesting.
SirAlexTheFirst: Energy Substitution is still a flavor feat, though...
SirAlexTheFirst: I guess it depends on the DM.
AndrewRogue: 4 Wizard/6 Fighter/10 Chrome's Spellsword w/ Practiced Spellcaster.
AndrewRogue: And... I just looked at my projected list. Most of my offense spells are debuffs and disables anyway, so its a meh feat overall.
SirAlexTheFirst: Look at it realistically. How useful is that going to be? For a feat?
SirAlexTheFirst: I've never seen anyone take Energy Substitution for anything other than flavor purposes or "OMG sonic, nothing resists!"
AndrewRogue: As I just said, I realized Fireball is about my only actual damage spell anyway.
AndrewRogue: My main offense looks like... Baleful Polymorph, Prismatics, Eneveration, Feeblemind, Bestow Curse
SirAlexTheFirst: And, you know, SWORDING
AndrewRogue: All of it through the swording :p
SirAlexTheFirst: Tenser's Transformation?
AndrewRogue: Yep.
AndrewRogue: That was a no duh.
AndrewRogue: And aside from that, various buffs and utility spells.
SirAlexTheFirst: Hmm.
SirAlexTheFirst: I think they're almost done for the night.
AndrewRogue: Eh?
SirAlexTheFirst: So I feel a bit better now.
AndrewRogue: Well that's good.
SirAlexTheFirst: No kitties around though. ;_;
AndrewRogue: ;_; Aw. Where'd they go?
SirAlexTheFirst: Wait, here's one.
AndrewRogue: Yay kitty!
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh, no/
SirAlexTheFirst: They're dancing around the door.
AndrewRogue: Eh?
SirAlexTheFirst: Mm, kitty on lap now.
SirAlexTheFirst: Have I been at all coherent or nice these holidays?
AndrewRogue: Can't tell you.
AndrewRogue: I'm not understanding you much today.
SirAlexTheFirst: Heh.
SirAlexTheFirst: Thought so.
AndrewRogue: And its the first time I've talked with you since... Thursday-ish?
AndrewRogue: So you wanna tell ol' Andrew what the problem is?
SirAlexTheFirst: Nah. You got enough people doing that already.
AndrewRogue: Won't be the first time this week I've listened to venting.
AndrewRogue: Aw c'mon Alex. Its one of my two talents.
SirAlexTheFirst: Exactly.
AndrewRogue: I don't have that many.
SirAlexTheFirst: You have plenty.
AndrewRogue: Two.
AndrewRogue: :p
SirAlexTheFirst: Writing, roleplaying, listening, optimism, loving animals, and I'm sure there are more.
AndrewRogue: Optimism and loving animals are not talents.
AndrewRogue: But hey, I'm content with what I've got.
SirAlexTheFirst: Sure they are.
SirAlexTheFirst: Optimism is clearly a talent.
SirAlexTheFirst: Loving animals... well, I've seen some people who are very, very bad at it.
AndrewRogue: Heh
SirAlexTheFirst: Is Soppy around?
AndrewRogue: Yep.
SirAlexTheFirst: Wait, you know anime too.
SirAlexTheFirst: You know anything about "Bleach"?
Adm H Sopko: I've just heard it's really good
AndrewRogue: I haven't heard much about Bleach
Adm H Sopko: Can't remember the genre
Adm H Sopko: I think it might be shoujo
Adm H Sopko: But mature shoujo
Adm H Sopko: Non-yaoi, I think
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh, dear.
SirAlexTheFirst: You think. huh.
AndrewRogue: Heh
AndrewRogue: Hmm.
AndrewRogue: Arghle
AndrewRogue: Want RP. Not happening though.
SirAlexTheFirst: Gr. Me too.
AndrewRogue: I dunno. We could do something wholly random in Entreth if you want.
AndrewRogue: Pick a random hisotrical scene you might like and we can do that. Or something.
SirAlexTheFirst: Hm. Kircie is gone.
AndrewRogue: And he said they wanted game tonight ;_;
AndrewRogue: So... seriously. Would you like a random scene of some sort?
AndrewRogue: You can even use an Amaryllis character since there is an unofficial gateway <.<
AndrewRogue: I never intend to use it, but Chrome and Gorth were interested in potential world sharing.
SirAlexTheFirst: ....come again?
AndrewRogue: Chrome and Gorth were interested in the worlds being different planar existences.
AndrewRogue: So, Gorth-Amaryllis, Chrysalis and Entreth are all unofficially linked worlds.
AndrewRogue: Practically impossible for mortals to cross, but its possible.
AndrewRogue: Gods could communicate if they desired.
AndrewRogue: Not that I ever really intend to use it.
AndrewRogue: But what the hey.
SirAlexTheFirst: Huh.
SirAlexTheFirst: Well. That's.... interesting.
AndrewRogue: Eh.
Adm H Sopko: My reaction was a little more negative
SirAlexTheFirst: I dunno any sort of scene, though. History of Entreth -> you know it, I don't,
SirAlexTheFirst: Sopko, you gotta read my "That's interesting"s better.
AndrewRogue: Again, I have no intention to use it.
SirAlexTheFirst: Four periods between translates to "Wow, that's screwed up."
Adm H Sopko: My reaction was a little more negative
SirAlexTheFirst: Yeah, you said that.
AndrewRogue: I simply gave them access to my world stuff for their game.
AndrewRogue: I dunno... rawr.
AndrewRogue: Just come up with something random and I can get a scene together I'm sure.
AndrewRogue: There's a lot of history I haven't invented yet anyway.
SirAlexTheFirst: For just random scenes, there's always the ANDmas party. But, I know absolutely zero about Entreth history, so you'd have to be the giver there.
AndrewRogue: *sighs* I... suppose I could do the ANDmas party. Its just kinda eh with only 2 of us.
AndrewRogue: *players
AndrewRogue: But hey.
AndrewRogue: I'm up for it.
AndrewRogue: Fun random yes go
SirAlexTheFirst: Maybe we should just go to sleep, then.
AndrewRogue: Screw that. I ain't sleeping.
AndrewRogue: I'm tired and annoyed. Matt is prolly dead/disowned or something.
SirAlexTheFirst: Ah?
AndrewRogue: Or... was he going out with family today? Dead, Disowned or out with family.
AndrewRogue: One of the three.
SirAlexTheFirst: Ah.
SirAlexTheFirst: What's wrong there?
AndrewRogue: Eh. Just family arguements. Hating his father. Relationship issues.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mm.
AndrewRogue: It never ceases to amaze me.
Adm H Sopko: Hooray for confidentiality\
AndrewRogue: I didn't specify anything.
AndrewRogue: I keep the actual stuff confidential.
SirAlexTheFirst: I thought of about 5 things to say to that and all of them are hurtful.
AndrewRogue: Meh. Go ahead and say them to me I guess.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mm seems the best.
AndrewRogue: I'm annoyed, but happy.
AndrewRogue: And I will remain so.
SirAlexTheFirst: Let me know how that works out.
AndrewRogue: Eh?
SirAlexTheFirst: ...sorry.
AndrewRogue: No, I didn't understand the statement.
SirAlexTheFirst: Don't try.
AndrewRogue: Uh... okay?
SirAlexTheFirst: I'm just alternating between being unnecessarily spiteful and crying for attention like a six year old.
AndrewRogue: You wanna tell me what's wrong yet?
AndrewRogue: I don't have anything better to do than pay attention to you anyway, so you're in luck.
Adm H Sopko: I'm oddly interested as well
AndrewRogue: ...aw nuts.
AndrewRogue: I missed RoD last night.
AndrewRogue: *kicks self*
SirAlexTheFirst: That's because I'm dang good at the attention-seeking part.
AndrewRogue: *sighs*
AndrewRogue: Well. If you don't want to talk, want to see some stuff I've written lately?
SirAlexTheFirst: I'd love to see more good writing.
AndrewRogue: Well, I can't guarantee anything in that case <.<
AndrewRogue: Fair warning, I need to finish editing these.
SirAlexTheFirst: Good writing.
AndrewRogue: Thanks.
AndrewRogue: Now if only I supported myself that well :p
SirAlexTheFirst: ?
AndrewRogue: Nothing, nothing :p
AndrewRogue: Oh yes.
AndrewRogue: I should finish inventing that class for Hioshi.
AndrewRogue: Whee..
SirAlexTheFirst: Have you seen the class I made for Bandon>
SirAlexTheFirst: ?
AndrewRogue: No.
SirAlexTheFirst: Sopko want to see em?
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes, half of those class abilities are what Gil would call detrimental.
AndrewRogue: Meh. The disadvantegous ones are off-set by the good stuff IMO.
SirAlexTheFirst: Kirk didn't seem to like it much.
AndrewRogue: I blame his character concept.
SirAlexTheFirst: ?
AndrewRogue: *points at Bandon*
AndrewRogue: Its ideal for the character concept.
AndrewRogue: Which is a highly annoying one for most people.
SirAlexTheFirst: I think he's doing a fantastic job of RPing it
AndrewRogue: Oh he is.
SirAlexTheFirst: And I thought he liked it
SirAlexTheFirst: But, eh.
AndrewRogue: And I think he does.
AndrewRogue: I imagine its just annoying to play sometimes.
AndrewRogue: *likely
AndrewRogue: I practically live it (minus the sex) everyday and I hate myself occasionally :p
SirAlexTheFirst: Huh.
SirAlexTheFirst: The concept of something being annoying to play is... lost on me, I think.
SirAlexTheFirst: Though I joke about it sometimes.
AndrewRogue: Can you understand the concept of being tired of being you on certain days>
AndrewRogue: *?
SirAlexTheFirst: Not really.
AndrewRogue: I guess you don't dislike yourself as much as I dislike me ^_~
SirAlexTheFirst: Actually it's more the certain days part that gets me.
AndrewRogue: Well then.
AndrewRogue: There's your answer.
AndrewRogue: You lack the capability to like yourself on certain days.
SirAlexTheFirst: I guess so.
AndrewRogue: *dislike.
AndrewRogue: Meh.
AndrewRogue: Falling asleep at keyboard.
AndrewRogue: Not really.
AndrewRogue: But passing out.
AndrewRogue: Or maybe the TV is giving me a headache.
AndrewRogue: Who knows?
SirAlexTheFirst: You say that like it's a capability that one should or should not have.
SirAlexTheFirst: And.... go to sleep, then.
AndrewRogue: Meh.
AndrewRogue: Don't wanna.
AndrewRogue: I'm eating anyhow.
SirAlexTheFirst: Then why are you falling asleep? :P
AndrewRogue: Because I'm a failure at life, clearly.
AndrewRogue: MWAHAHAHA
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh, yes, clearly.
SirAlexTheFirst: No you're not.
AndrewRogue: ...woooow.
AndrewRogue: Tanden Renki Makoto hits hard.
SirAlexTheFirst: That's... interesting....
SirAlexTheFirst: Would be more so if I knew what that was
AndrewRogue: Sorry. SF:AC caught my attention.
AndrewRogue: Makoto = Martial Arts Chick
AndrewRogue: Tanden Renki = Super Arts that ups damage and stun build in exchnage for not being able to block for a set time.
AndrewRogue: She has a yummy dash though.
SirAlexTheFirst: Oof.
SirAlexTheFirst: Reminds me of the special weapons in SC2.
AndrewRogue: Yay special weapons!
SirAlexTheFirst: Those things taught me that not being allowed to block is a BAD THING
AndrewRogue: Eh, Tanden Renki ups her damage and stun by enough that its worth it to try.
AndrewRogue: Although I end up eating a Super Arts for my trouble often.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mitsurugi's ultimate weapon triples his damage and ups his defense.
SirAlexTheFirst: But disallows blocking.
AndrewRogue: Ah, but that's a whole match thing.
SirAlexTheFirst: Indeed.
SirAlexTheFirst: He SUCKS with it.
SirAlexTheFirst: I laugh at people who use it.
AndrewRogue: Yeah. Not blocking in SC2 = Death'
SirAlexTheFirst: Enjoy that triple damage on those hits you'll never land because you'll be in hitstun the entire match!
SirAlexTheFirst: Funnily though, Astaroth can actually cope with his no- block weapon.
AndrewRogue: ...well.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mainly cause it drains life.
AndrewRogue: Ah.
SirAlexTheFirst: Massivly.
SirAlexTheFirst: Just shy of 100% leech.
AndrewRogue: Not bad.
SirAlexTheFirst: And, you know, it's Astaroth, he plays that sort of game anyways.
AndrewRogue: Don't really.
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh.
SirAlexTheFirst: Well
AndrewRogue: Not massively familiar with Astaroth
SirAlexTheFirst: Astaroth is big and slow and has larger hit zones than any other character, meaning there are a lot of combos possible only on him.
AndrewRogue: Makes sense.
SirAlexTheFirst: He doesn't cope well with a quick melee style anyways.
SirAlexTheFirst: Asta is all about evading and keeping the other guy at a distance, and landing the occasional hit that does about a third of their life.
AndrewRogue: I see.
AndrewRogue: Whee. Plays like Potemkin.
SirAlexTheFirst: Exactly.
AndrewRogue: For all that I know about him <.< I just have seen a well played one enough to get the idea.
AndrewRogue: Yay for playable big guys]
SirAlexTheFirst: Yep
AndrewRogue: Not that I'm a fan.
AndrewRogue: Whee for mid-range/mid-speed!
SirAlexTheFirst: I like.... a weird array of characters, in any game.
SirAlexTheFirst: Argle.
AndrewRogue: Sadly, I'm pretty predictable. And wha?
SirAlexTheFirst: Nothing. I should go to bed soon.
AndrewRogue: Eh. If that's your desire.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mom wants me up at 8 to drive her out to some car dealership.
SirAlexTheFirst: I napped earlier, though.
SirAlexTheFirst: So... I dunno.
AndrewRogue: Probably not a bad idea ot sleep some anyway.
SirAlexTheFirst: Nothing doing here though. I don't have.... anything to talk about.
AndrewRogue: Eh... I'm kinda drainged today honestly.
SirAlexTheFirst: Drainged?
AndrewRogue: As you can see by my spelling.
SirAlexTheFirst: Then go to sleep.
AndrewRogue: Meh.
AndrewRogue: I hate sleeping sometimes.
AndrewRogue: Today is one of them.
SirAlexTheFirst: Either you can sit here drained with me of all people, or you can go to sleep.
AndrewRogue: No option 3?
SirAlexTheFirst: I can't think of any option 3's that you would remotely consider...
AndrewRogue: Cat-Girl Yuri?
AndrewRogue: <.<
SirAlexTheFirst: I was just thinking that you were going to demand random RP.
SirAlexTheFirst: My brain won't let go of that now.
SirAlexTheFirst: And now it's combining the ideas, and argh. So wrong.
AndrewRogue: ...
AndrewRogue: Bad Alex.
SirAlexTheFirst: Yah.
AndrewRogue: Now I'm thinking about it too.
AndrewRogue: *headdesk*
SirAlexTheFirst: I stopped thinking about it a while ago.
SirAlexTheFirst: Katie IMed me.
AndrewRogue: Yay?
SirAlexTheFirst: Not really.
SirAlexTheFirst: She IS working 70 hour weeks over break.
SirAlexTheFirst: In retail.
SirAlexTheFirst: In the Christmas season.
AndrewRogue: Ouch.
SirAlexTheFirst: And no, she's not getting any of the money from it.
SirAlexTheFirst: What an ironic comedy of errors.
SirAlexTheFirst: I can go out and be like Katie
SirAlexTheFirst: Or I can sit here and do.... nothing.
AndrewRogue: Can't advise you there.
SirAlexTheFirst: And that's why I'm not talking to you about it, despite your repeated requests.
AndrewRogue: I suppose its your perogative.
AndrewRogue: preogative
AndrewRogue: per-something or another
AndrewRogue: WORD
SirAlexTheFirst: There's nothing here for me except the cats.
SirAlexTheFirst: My brothers don't really care one way or the other, and the parents still split their time between screaming at each other and condemning me as a selfish, lazy, ungodly, perverted failure.
SirAlexTheFirst: Some things never change.
AndrewRogue: Well, all I can give is the same shitty advice I always do.
SirAlexTheFirst: Of course, they're mostly right, as I realize every time I think of something to say and then realize how mean it sounds.
AndrewRogue: I'm not seeing a connection.
SirAlexTheFirst: I don't want advice at all, and I absolutely hate how I've gotten you to say your advice is somehow shitty now. Once again, just hurting everyone around me.
AndrewRogue: Uh... you aren't the one who is showing my advice to be moderately useless and shitty.
SirAlexTheFirst: You can't say I haven't at least contributed.
AndrewRogue: Sure I can.
AndrewRogue: Watch.
AndrewRogue: "Alex, its pretty much Bathke's fault I've come to the conclusion that overall my advice is useless."
SirAlexTheFirst: Your question to me the other night regarding my taking advice speaks otherwise.
AndrewRogue: I believe that was about you taking your own advice.
SirAlexTheFirst: Which is mostly the same as yours.
SirAlexTheFirst: ... you see? Not only am I assuming your issues are about me, I'm trying to argue to you that they are.
AndrewRogue: And the problem with that is?
AndrewRogue: You could be right.
SirAlexTheFirst: You just said, they're NOT about me, they're about Bathke.
AndrewRogue: "Alex, I'm really a woman."
AndrewRogue: :p
AndrewRogue: I can say a lot of things. I rarely understand the workings of my own mind.
SirAlexTheFirst: Yeah? What else is new?
SirAlexTheFirst: ....again
AndrewRogue: I assume they are largely about Bathke on the basis I'm still angry about that.
AndrewRogue: And that wasn't mean.
AndrewRogue: Its true.
SirAlexTheFirst: It's true? You really ARE a woman?
AndrewRogue: I lack understanding of myself to such a degree that it almost hurts.
AndrewRogue: And that.
AndrewRogue: That's an issue I should get sorted out one of these days.
SirAlexTheFirst: And I, on the other hand, understand myself completely. And hate what I see in the mirror. You may be better off NOT knowing yourself and understanding the real motives for why you do what you do.
AndrewRogue: Then isn't the sensible answer to change them?
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes and no.
SirAlexTheFirst: You can change your behavior, sure.
SirAlexTheFirst: Try changing your motives, though.
SirAlexTheFirst: It ain't quite as easy as getting up in the morning and going "Hey, I'm going to feel less concerned about myself today."
AndrewRogue: Never said it was easy.
SirAlexTheFirst: I would go so far as to state it is all but impossible.
AndrewRogue: Meh. Who cares what's impossible?
SirAlexTheFirst: Nothing is impossible, with God.
SirAlexTheFirst: But he has not yet seen fit to lift this burdern from me.
SirAlexTheFirst: So I must endure.
AndrewRogue: Gpd helps those who help themselves, no?
SirAlexTheFirst: No. No, he doesn't.
SirAlexTheFirst: God helps those whom it's in his plan to help. And doesn't help those who it's not in his plan to help.
AndrewRogue: Hm. Someone lied to me.
SirAlexTheFirst: A great many people spread lies like that one, ignoring the Bible and God's word in favor of the politically and socially popular viewpoints of the day.
SirAlexTheFirst: The entire moral of the book of Job, though, is that "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord."
SirAlexTheFirst: Some people get presents
SirAlexTheFirst: Some people get cancer
SirAlexTheFirst: S'all in God
SirAlexTheFirst: s plan.
SirAlexTheFirst: And we do not possess the ability to second guess him.
AndrewRogue: Well, no.
AndrewRogue: That's wrong.
SirAlexTheFirst: I mean, with any authority.
AndrewRogue: You folks who're prolly smarter than me on the eternity scale don't.
SirAlexTheFirst: Sure, you can second guess him, complain that he's wrong, try to say that doing such and so will make God do this for you in return.
SirAlexTheFirst: You'd be wrong.
SirAlexTheFirst: But you could say it.
AndrewRogue: Moral of the story is- I'm not going here because I have very special beliefs in this area.
AndrewRogue: And my mood is deteriorating rapidly for some reason, so my mouth is getting sharp.
SirAlexTheFirst: Told you so. I'm contagious.
AndrewRogue: My mood was on the decline before you got on.
SirAlexTheFirst: Well.
AndrewRogue: So screw my mood.
AndrewRogue: It doesn't control me.
SirAlexTheFirst: Andrew, what do you want?
AndrewRogue: Eh?
SirAlexTheFirst: What do you want?
SirAlexTheFirst: It'
SirAlexTheFirst: s a very simple question.
AndrewRogue: Not really. Its actually a pretty complex one for me.
AndrewRogue: Do you mean what do I want right now?
AndrewRogue: What do I want in general?
AndrewRogue: What does Andrew as a whole?
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes.
AndrewRogue: Considering there are three question marks, a singular yes does not suffice :p
SirAlexTheFirst: What do you want in general.
AndrewRogue: What does Andrew want in general...
AndrewRogue: Hmmmm...
AndrewRogue: I suppose one of three things.
AndrewRogue: Number 1 is normal.
AndrewRogue: Number 2 just shows my mental state.
AndrewRogue: And 3 is easily guessable.
AndrewRogue: But if you wish to know...
AndrewRogue: 1- To be happy, to be loved and all that.
AndrewRogue: I could still use a significant other in that regard, but whatever. That'll come in its proper time.
AndrewRogue: 2- The ability to not be me all the time.
AndrewRogue: And I mean in a very literal sense.
AndrewRogue: I would love to be able to be a woman, or a dog, or a cat, or a whatever for some time.
AndrewRogue: Being me all the time, and knowing I can't be that for some time, drives me up the wall.
AndrewRogue: 3- I'd like everyone to be happy.
AndrewRogue: Not 100% of the time, because it loses meaningfulness.
AndrewRogue: But a hell of a lot happier than they are right now.
AndrewRogue: And end all the wars and stuff.
AndrewRogue: But that's about as likely as desire 5.
AndrewRogue: *4
AndrewRogue: Which is having a Cat-Girl.
AndrewRogue: So. As you see, I'm doomed to psychosis sometime in the near future,
AndrewRogue: Because of the three things I desire most, only one has a realistic chance of happening.
SirAlexTheFirst: Well, yeah, an end to war is great and all, but I think you could find happiness sometime too.
AndrewRogue: That was my point about only 1 having a realistic chance.
SirAlexTheFirst: Well, hey.
SirAlexTheFirst: I love you. Not romantically, mind, but you know. We've been over that.
AndrewRogue: Yep. Which is why 1 has a perfectly good chance ^_^
AndrewRogue: Because people do love me.
AndrewRogue: I'm just a sucky person at reciprocating and/or accepting.
SirAlexTheFirst: S'all right.
SirAlexTheFirst: I should get to sleep now.
AndrewRogue: All right.
AndrewRogue: G'night man.
SirAlexTheFirst: Good night.
SirAlexTheFirst has left the room.
Adm H Sopko has left the room.
Adm H Sopko has entered the room.
Adm H Sopko has left the room.
Adm H Sopko has entered the room.
AndrewRogue: Hmm... is it laggy here?
Adm H Sopko: Dunno
Adm H Sopko: Nope
AndrewRogue: So how're you tonight?
Adm H Sopko: ...
Adm H Sopko: Someone made a bio for Gordon Freeman in SW
AndrewRogue: HAH
AndrewRogue: *whistles*
Adm H Sopko: ::Kicks::
AndrewRogue: I'll dig up proof on Cham later.
AndrewRogue: :p
Adm H Sopko: Heh
Adm H Sopko: I take it thats what Cham's girl form looks like?
AndrewRogue: Not really. Cham as a human looks like a normal girl.
Adm H Sopko: Ah
AndrewRogue: Because, well, it makes sense.
SirAlexTheFirst has entered the room.
SirAlexTheFirst: Ah, this is why it felt empty.
Adm H Sopko: Yo
SirAlexTheFirst: Sopko, you got me scared for no good reason.
Adm H Sopko: ...?
SirAlexTheFirst: Bleach turned out to be shounen. Not shounen-ai. Just shounen.
Adm H Sopko: Ah
Adm H Sopko: I said that I was pretty sure it wasn't yaoi
SirAlexTheFirst: Your somewhat cliched shounen plot, teenage boy has super powers and does Important Things in the world regarding swords and demons and ghosts while juggling his responsibilities to his family and friends.
Adm H Sopko: Aha
SirAlexTheFirst: And getting fawned over by every female in the cast.
SirAlexTheFirst: For all that the premise is cliched though it was a very entertaining show and I want to watch the rest of it now.
AndrewRogue: That's good ^_^
Dark Japheth has entered the room.
SirAlexTheFirst: Last Exile also looked interesting with the animation.
Dark Japheth: HENTAI SEX TENTACLES.
Dark Japheth: Hi.
Adm H Sopko: Last Exile looks amazing
Dark Japheth: Whats up?
SirAlexTheFirst: Too late, Gorth.
Dark Japheth: Bah. :P
Adm H Sopko: We're watching that next semester
AndrewRogue: I should have watched it on TechTV <.<
Adm H Sopko: The OST is yummy too
AndrewRogue: They aired the whole show.
Adm H Sopko: It has a quasi WAish feel
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh, and we fast forwarded through some Grenadier.
Adm H Sopko: I heard that sucked
SirAlexTheFirst: It's 110% fanservice.
SirAlexTheFirst: You know something's up when you can pick out the fanservice on fast forward.
Adm H Sopko: Heh
AndrewRogue: XD
SirAlexTheFirst: "Was she naked in that shot just then- oh, boobs. Whups, there they are again. And another one. Pretty explosion there. Oh look, another skin shot."
Adm H Sopko: Heh
SirAlexTheFirst: Though we did take off FF and actually watched one scene.
SirAlexTheFirst: I wish we hadn't.
Adm H Sopko: Ha
AndrewRogue: Thought of the instant- Damn Samurai Showdown 2 aged well.
AndrewRogue: Its better than the newly released 5! <.<
SirAlexTheFirst: The girl has a six shooter, and guns down six guards.
SirAlexTheFirst: The main villain points this out.
SirAlexTheFirst: Girl whirls around and we are given a slow motion pan of her flipping bullets out of her bust and into her gun.
SirAlexTheFirst: I'm not kidding.
Adm H Sopko: Heh
AndrewRogue: Convenient storage I guess...
Adm H Sopko: For good Shounen fun- Scryed
Adm H Sopko: Honestly one of the best Shounen shows I've ever seen, if not the best
SirAlexTheFirst: Scryed! One of the (few) series I have watched!
SirAlexTheFirst: Twas good.
Adm H Sopko: It's a yummy series
Adm H Sopko: ::Cries for Ayase::
Adm H Sopko: ::And just about every other minor character::
SirAlexTheFirst: Cry for EVERYONE
SirAlexTheFirst: Such a downer, that one is.
Adm H Sopko: Yes
Adm H Sopko: But it's good to see a series willing to do that
SirAlexTheFirst: Ye-esss.
Adm H Sopko: Heh
SirAlexTheFirst: I hear it is 59072907097209762907236 times improved upon the manga.
Adm H Sopko: So have I
SirAlexTheFirst: I think the last two episodes came from the manga ending that they had to rush in there.
SirAlexTheFirst: Probably I'm horribly wrong, but meh.
Adm H Sopko: ::Shrugs:: No idea either
Adm H Sopko: See Berserk!
SirAlexTheFirst: Seriously. The last two episodes make no sense what. So. Ever. I guess that must be what Evangelion is like to most people.
SirAlexTheFirst: Anyways
Adm H Sopko: I think we can do ANDmas now
SirAlexTheFirst: Kircie is on...
Adm H Sopko: Invite!
Dark Japheth: *ferocious nod*
AndrewRogue: Hell, we can DO SOMETHING IN GENERAL
AndrewRogue: <.<
coughingpuppy has entered the room.
Dark Japheth: Wow omg hi2u
AndrewRogue: WHOAMG
Adm H Sopko: Someone converted Gordon Freeman to SW
Adm H Sopko: Anyone want to see?
SirAlexTheFirst: I know nothing about SW
coughingpuppy: We're going to switch computers so we can both be downstairs.
coughingpuppy: Be back in a minute. Is there actually game tonight?
SirAlexTheFirst: Depends. Are people actually wanting to stick around and have game tonight?
coughingpuppy: I wouldn't mind.
coughingpuppy: My XBox seems to have burned out for a little while. :-( Which means no KotOR II or Halo: Deathmatch.
AndrewRogue: Ouch.
Adm H Sopko: I have a few world-saving errands to take care of, Alex
AndrewRogue: And I'll be here.
coughingpuppy: Okay, we'll be right back.
coughingpuppy has left the room.
SirAlexTheFirst: Soppy has to go? Oh, well then, no game.
SirAlexTheFirst: Good night all.
Adm H Sopko: Meh... repairing the o-zone, defeating Dr. Enemy, and sealing the extra-dimensional portal won't take that long
Dark Japheth: Not doctor enemy!
Adm H Sopko: Dr. Enemy is nothing
Adm H Sopko: VILLAIN is the guy you have to worry about.
SirAlexTheFirst: His old school mentor VILN is the real power behind the scenes, though.
Adm H Sopko: Heh
AndrewRogue: What about Fallen Hero>
AndrewRogue: *?
SirAlexTheFirst: What about him?
AndrewRogue: Did he retire?
SirAlexTheFirst: Nah, he'll just rejoin the good guys later on.
Adm H Sopko: So predictable
SirAlexTheFirst: Is it just me or has it been like seven minutes now with no Kircie?
SirAlexTheFirst: Hah, summoning worked.
KittenBootsPlus5 has entered the room.
Dark Japheth: *casts Summon Staci IV*
SirAlexTheFirst: What?
SirAlexTheFirst: No!
SirAlexTheFirst: Put down the gun!
coughingpuppy has entered the room.
SirAlexTheFirst: Duck and cover!
AndrewRogue: *hits the dirt*
SirAlexTheFirst: Do you want to buy a duck?
AndrewRogue: No. Ducks = uesless
SirAlexTheFirst: Aw. Well.
SirAlexTheFirst: Rogue!
KittenBootsPlus5: Rogue One, four green and topped off.
AndrewRogue: *draws his blade* En garde
SirAlexTheFirst: Update Wolverine on the telepathy stuff.
AndrewRogue: *looks at Gorth*
SirAlexTheFirst: ...oy.
SirAlexTheFirst: Bandon.
AndrewRogue: Oh.
AndrewRogue: *smacks self*
KittenBootsPlus5: What the fuck are you boys talking about?
AndrewRogue: I forget we even did more.
SirAlexTheFirst: Juice, Kirk.
SirAlexTheFirst: Shut up and drink your juice. All of you.
Adm H Sopko: I want Apple
coughingpuppy: Kirk, can I take this down now?
KittenBootsPlus5: Skocion, the Guardian 15 Sith Marauder 8, says you should shush, Alex.
KittenBootsPlus5: Yes dear, you may.
AndrewRogue: That's a lot of levels.
KittenBootsPlus5: That's a lot of assbeating is what it is.
coughingpuppy: KotOR II is longer than KotOR I.
AndrewRogue: By the level count, I'd guess :p
KittenBootsPlus5: He's not even close to done yet, either.
KittenBootsPlus5: But oh dear sweet lord does he beat every ass.
coughingpuppy: Well, you also get more XP for kills and such.
AndrewRogue: Still. Didn't KoTOR end at like... 20-ish?
coughingpuppy: Instead of 35 XP for every blasted kinrath.
coughingpuppy: Yeah.
KittenBootsPlus5: His force powers are limited to Master Battle Meditation, Absolute Fury, Death Field.
KittenBootsPlus5: Well, a few others.
KittenBootsPlus5: But those are the really good ones.
KittenBootsPlus5: He can also deflect blaster bolts with his hands.
KittenBootsPlus5: And deal about 40 points of damage with an unarmed strike.
KittenBootsPlus5: About 75 with his lightsaber.
AndrewRogue: Not too bad.
KittenBootsPlus5: His double-bladed lightsaber.
coughingpuppy: Ri can't do too much yet. She's only Sentinel 8.
KittenBootsPlus5: Which he the ULTRA SUPER SPECIALIZATION OF DOOM in.
AndrewRogue: RAWR
AndrewRogue: USSoD!
coughingpuppy: Mrrr?
KittenBootsPlus5: Oh, and Canderous is in it too, but he's no longer Canderous Ordo.
Dark Japheth: ...
Dark Japheth: What is he
KittenBootsPlus5: Mandalore.
Dark Japheth: DOT
Dark Japheth: DOT
Dark Japheth: DOT
coughingpuppy: And he's sad because he can't fight with Revan anymore.
AndrewRogue: *would comment had he played KoTOR*
KittenBootsPlus5: Not sad enough to prevent him from kicking every ass, of course.
coughingpuppy: Well, no. And he never SAYS he's Canderous, but you know.
KittenBootsPlus5: Your assignment is to find every ass in the known galaxy. And then beat it.
AndrewRogue: Nice mission.
KittenBootsPlus5: I thought so.
KittenBootsPlus5: KotOR II is a game I actually would seriously consider going back through with a light side character, though.
KittenBootsPlus5: It's a lot more about philosophy and less about the galactic dominion.
coughingpuppy: It's MUCH easier to get light side points than it was in the first one.
coughingpuppy: It reminds me of Planescape: Torment. And I can live with that.
KittenBootsPlus5: You get Light Side points for saying nice things to T3.
KittenBootsPlus5: Did I mention that T3 is in it?
KittenBootsPlus5: And he's FUCKING BADASS
KittenBootsPlus5: Your main character apparently speaks droid, so you have dialogue with T3.
KittenBootsPlus5: Lots of dialogue, if you so choose.
KittenBootsPlus5: Also, at one point, you mention in passing that you need an ID card.
KittenBootsPlus5: So T3 leaves the ship, makes an elaborate plan, and sneaks in and steals a card.
KittenBootsPlus5: And murders some people along the way.
Dark Japheth: ...HEh!
Dark Japheth: Wait though.
Dark Japheth: Did Revan win or lose?
KittenBootsPlus5: Well.
coughingpuppy: You get to decide that through dialogue!
KittenBootsPlus5: That depends on what you say at the beginning of the game.
KittenBootsPlus5: Well, Revan won.
coughingpuppy: You can also decide whether Revan was a man or a woman, and whether he/she was light or dark side.
KittenBootsPlus5: But you can decide whether he or she was good or evil.
KittenBootsPlus5: Yep.
KittenBootsPlus5: You also decide a lot of the things about your own past through dialogue.
KittenBootsPlus5: Them :"Were you at Malachor Five?"
coughingpuppy: Even what your lightsaber looks like.
KittenBootsPlus5: You: "Yes" or "No" or "Keep prying like that and I'll be flossing with your guts."
Dark Japheth: ...Rocking.
KittenBootsPlus5: Anyway.
KittenBootsPlus5: Game?
KittenBootsPlus5: RAWR KOTOR II IS THE AWSOMEST GAME SINCE AWSOME CAME TO AWSOME TOWN
KittenBootsPlus5: Ahem.
KittenBootsPlus5: Game.
AndrewRogue: Sure!
SirAlexTheFirst: Who wants game?
KittenBootsPlus5: Me!
AndrewRogue: *raises hand*
Dark Japheth: Memememme.
Adm H Sopko: Me
coughingpuppy: Me!
SirAlexTheFirst: Okay then
SirAlexTheFirst: Has Bandon been properly updated?
AndrewRogue: Its asking me to register him. Do I have to?
SirAlexTheFirst: Click "Register Later" and ignore it.
AndrewRogue: *clicks Register Later*
KittenBootsPlus5: No, cause I can't find it.
KittenBootsPlus5: Register what
KittenBootsPlus5: ?
AndrewRogue: I'll just copy paste it to you.
SirAlexTheFirst: Does everyone remember where we are?
Dark Japheth: Talking with Mab.
Dark Japheth: Aria and Mab had leaned their heads back with their eyes rolled and were doing the telepathy thing.
AndrewRogue: Basically.
Dark Japheth: We were like "heh cool no game."
Dark Japheth: </summary>
KittenBootsPlus5: Ah.
KittenBootsPlus5: You don't really need Bandon to finish, since he can't so much contribute to the conversation, he can only listen in.
KittenBootsPlus5: But anyway, go ahead.
KittenBootsPlus5: So...
KittenBootsPlus5: Yeah.
KittenBootsPlus5: How about those...
KittenBootsPlus5: Light.....sabers?
AndrewRogue: Uh... mental stuff was done.
KittenBootsPlus5: Okay. So do Aria and Mab continue to stand in an insensate stupor?
AndrewRogue: So... uh... *Aria opens her eyes and shakes her head*
coughingpuppy: Aurelia watches Mab in silence. She's done with all of this nonsense and just wants to be let go.
SirAlexTheFirst: As I recall, Verity had just pulled out a hand held serrated weapon of mass destruction and was advancing on Mab?
AndrewRogue: (Ah yes, the MoS)
KittenBootsPlus5: That he had.
KittenBootsPlus5: Subtlely.
KittenBootsPlus5: Oh so subtlely.
Dark Japheth: (Mother of Screams gives you a -20 to Subtlety checks)
AndrewRogue: "So what do you intend to do with all of us Mab? Let us go? Something else?"
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab blinks and smiles back at the group, completely ignoring Verity's newfound armament.
KittenBootsPlus5: Look at my surprise.
KittenBootsPlus5: It's all over the place.
KittenBootsPlus5: Verity is watching Aria, anyway.
Dark Japheth: Zao begins picking up Kirk's surprise.
SirAlexTheFirst: "Well, dearies, I'd find a peaceful parting of ways to be quite amicable..." she pauses. "I would have to insist that none of you ever set foot in Whittyre again, though."
Dark Japheth: *solemnly nods*
coughingpuppy: Aurelia nods almost immediately.
KittenBootsPlus5: Verity is STILL looking at Aria.
KittenBootsPlus5: Bandon, on the other hand, does nothing.
AndrewRogue: *Aria... nods slightly* "And what do you intend to do Mab?"
coughingpuppy: ((Computer switch.))
coughingpuppy has left the room.
SirAlexTheFirst: "Well, that's my business now, isn't it, hon?" She chuckles. "In the near future I think I'll be staying around here with Brother Bandon and his coworkers for a while."
KittenBootsPlus5: Bandon smiles a little.
coughingpuppy has entered the room.
AndrewRogue: "And then, what? If we ever come back we're under punishment of law or whatever?"
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab giggles and does not answer.
AndrewRogue: "Answer me Mab."
KittenBootsPlus5: Verity quirks an eyebrow at Aria and shoots disapproval rays at her.
KittenBootsPlus5: But says nothing.
KittenBootsPlus5: He also looms at Mab.
KittenBootsPlus5: LOM.
KittenBootsPlus5: *LOOM
KittenBootsPlus5: LOOOOOOOOOM
SirAlexTheFirst: "Well, I'd prefer to cross that bridge if heaven forbid we ever come to it. Honey dear, I'm sure you can use your imagination."
KittenBootsPlus5: "Mab."
KittenBootsPlus5: "I'd like for them to be able to stay, at least for a little while. So I can speak to them. I'll take full responsibility for anything they do."
KittenBootsPlus5: He smiles.
KittenBootsPlus5: "I'll keep them out of trouble."
KittenBootsPlus5: Dip check!
OnlineHost: KittenBootsPlus5 rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
KittenBootsPlus5: 28.
SirAlexTheFirst: She ponders this.
KittenBootsPlus5: ...porno cleric check?
SirAlexTheFirst: "I suppose that's all right, Bandy. Tomorrow at midnight, then?"
KittenBootsPlus5: "That sounds good. Thanks."
AndrewRogue: "You intend to leave the rest of us be if we leave?" ~Can you tell if she's lying Bandon?~
KittenBootsPlus5: BANDON HAS NO CIRCLET
AndrewRogue: (He can get messages an nod slightly.)
KittenBootsPlus5: He sure can.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab nods to Bandon and looks at the people who have not yet given assent. To Aria, "But of course."
AndrewRogue: Aria uses her dreaded Sense Motive.
OnlineHost: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
KittenBootsPlus5: To Aria, "Is there any reason to remain down here, girl?"
KittenBootsPlus5: He's referring to the Happy Room.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab seems cool and collected, assuming that's a 15 or thereabouts.
AndrewRogue: 11
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh? Well. Still.
OnlineHost: KittenBootsPlus5 rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
KittenBootsPlus5: 27.
Dark Japheth: Zao seems lost in thought.
AndrewRogue: "Are we all willing to leave Verity? If so, I think we're done."
SirAlexTheFirst: Still just calm, maybe a bit smug.
KittenBootsPlus5: Verity has no idea what the others are willing to do, but proceeds to leave, shoving Zao if he's acting out of it.
Dark Japheth: Zao will then fall!
KittenBootsPlus5: Verity will grab his foot.
KittenBootsPlus5: And drag him.
Dark Japheth: And scramble to seat himself, screaming significantly less than last time.
KittenBootsPlus5: No no.
KittenBootsPlus5: You're being dragged.
coughingpuppy: Aurelia rolls her eyes and offers Zao a hand up. "Leave him alone, Verity."
KittenBootsPlus5: He stops mid-drag.
AndrewRogue: "Verity!" *she snaps briefly*
KittenBootsPlus5: And looks a little disappointed.
KittenBootsPlus5: And he will look down at Zao-Lot without letting go of his leg. "You ready to go?"
Dark Japheth: Zao, assuming he's given leave to stand, will brush himself. "One moment, Verity."
Dark Japheth: Zao turns to Mab. "Lady Mab.. I have to ask a favor of you, though I understand you have no reason to listen to or grant it. But I would have you hear it."
SirAlexTheFirst: She turns to Zao.
SirAlexTheFirst: "Yes, hon?"
Dark Japheth: "I understand that Verity was changed by you to be stronger. This would help me accomplish.. something I need to do in my homeland. What would you have me do to acquire similar improvements?"
AndrewRogue: *she listens quietly*
coughingpuppy: Aurelia looks at Zao in surprise.
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea looks at Zao in surprise mixed with "ARE YOU INSANE"
Dark Japheth: (Yes, Zao actually listened to Verity)
KittenBootsPlus5: Verity will smile slightly.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab looks at Zao brightly and claps her hands once. "Well, now, that isn't something I expected to hear. But, hon, there is the small point that you broke into my Labs, and were all ready to kill my people."
Dark Japheth: "I understand. It is a dishonor unto me, and for that, I apologize."
SirAlexTheFirst: She thinks for a moment. "What exactly do you need to do that would require such an... increase in efficiency?"
KittenBootsPlus5: Cast the spells that makes the peoples fall down.
Dark Japheth: "Bring a change to my homeland. Teach it that obstinancy and blind stagnation are no true means to gain. To defeat Ikakog, a bandit, so I may claim my wife."
SirAlexTheFirst: Sense Motive.
Dark Japheth: Rocking! I'm not bluffing!
OnlineHost: SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
SirAlexTheFirst: kay.
Dark Japheth: Sweeeeeet!
Dark Japheth: Bluff for fun though
OnlineHost: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
Dark Japheth: +18 or so
Dark Japheth: 23.
SirAlexTheFirst: "Hmmmmmmm."
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea taps Zao on the shoulder.
Dark Japheth: Zao will turn around slowly.
KittenBootsPlus5: Verity will ready an action to knock their heads together if they get unruly.
SirAlexTheFirst: She shakes her head vigorously, looking quite frightened and astounded,.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab, meanwhile, has reached a decision. "What else are you willing to do for such enhancements?"
Dark Japheth: "Anything within reasonable bounds of my ability, honor, and piety."
Dark Japheth: Zao, however, will ignore lea.
Dark Japheth: His moths are buzzing a little. No, a lot. One or two fly over to Aria and back again.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab begins to nod. "Very well. We'll get that taken care of in two jiffies pretty soon here. Anything more?
Dark Japheth: "No. Thank you for your mercy." Zao will nod his head.
AndrewRogue: *Aria clenches a fist and grits her teeth* "Zao..."
KittenBootsPlus5: "Leave it, girl."
Dark Japheth: "What power, Aria?"
KittenBootsPlus5: "It's his choice, not yours."
AndrewRogue: "Shut up Verity."
KittenBootsPlus5: "No."
Dark Japheth: "I can make the mind dance with illusion. I can make pretty things appear!" To prove his point, the moths turn to butterflies (burning an Alter Self, cast on familiar)
KittenBootsPlus5: "You're young and idealistic. If you want to stay that way, don't try to make your allies choices for them."
Dark Japheth: "What actual power do I have beyond that power which are the senses?"
KittenBootsPlus5: "Just be ready to deal with the conseqences."
KittenBootsPlus5: "He wants power. These people offer the way of Peace, you offer the way of belligerent weakness, and all I can offer him is the sword. Who else should he turn to?"
Dark Japheth: The moths/butterflies float into a somewhat defensive shape, flying in front of his head a little.
coughingpuppy: Aurelia watches the exchange in silence. She disapproves of Zao, but it isn't really her perogative to say anything to him.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab just observes these proceedings.
KittenBootsPlus5: Bandon just observes Mab.
KittenBootsPlus5: How long until his scheduled meeting with the leaders of the other churches?
Dark Japheth: Zao... will then turn chibi. "Anyway.. what about you guys? Or is this all?"
SirAlexTheFirst: About an hour once you leave the Happy Room.
KittenBootsPlus5: Verity will look at Mab, actually.
KittenBootsPlus5: "Your little toy is out of control, Mab. Release him to my control."
KittenBootsPlus5: "So that I don't have to break him."
KittenBootsPlus5: Combined Dip/Intimidate!
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab shakes her head. "Hon, as long as you keep away from me you won't run across him again."
OnlineHost: KittenBootsPlus5 rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
KittenBootsPlus5: 30 with the higher.
SirAlexTheFirst: She totally doesn'
SirAlexTheFirst: t care.
KittenBootsPlus5: My shock is everywhere.
KittenBootsPlus5: Alex says no to trying to maintain a party, though.
KittenBootsPlus5: "I don't believe you. And if I did I wouldn't care. Trust me, he'll be more useful working than broken."
KittenBootsPlus5: He grins. It's creepy, though not particularly intentionally. The scars stretch. "I'll put your toys back where I found them, I promise."
KittenBootsPlus5: "Give me the command and override codes, and I won't have to pull them out of his ugly metal skull."
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab considers this.
SirAlexTheFirst: For about a second.
SirAlexTheFirst: Then says, simply, "Fine. He'll answer to you now."
KittenBootsPlus5: He smiles.
KittenBootsPlus5: Sense Motive!
KittenBootsPlus5: Twice!
OnlineHost: KittenBootsPlus5 rolled 2 20-sided dice: 6 6
KittenBootsPlus5: 28 and......23.
SirAlexTheFirst: She seems quite sincere.
KittenBootsPlus5: Ah, skills.
SirAlexTheFirst: Decisive, even.
KittenBootsPlus5: Anyhoo.
KittenBootsPlus5: He goes forth.
KittenBootsPlus5: Wait!
KittenBootsPlus5: No!
KittenBootsPlus5: I lie!
KittenBootsPlus5: He does not go forth.
KittenBootsPlus5: "And Karn Stoneroot. My dwarf."
SirAlexTheFirst: Does he go third?
SirAlexTheFirst: Ah.
SirAlexTheFirst: "Yes, honey?"
KittenBootsPlus5: "Release him to me, as well."
KittenBootsPlus5: Bandon exudes happy, since he thinks people being released is a good idea.
KittenBootsPlus5: Don't worry, be happy!
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab shakes her head, though she retains her smile. "I'm afraid I can't do that, hon."
KittenBootsPlus5: "You can."
KittenBootsPlus5: "Do so."
SirAlexTheFirst: "I can't. He's out of my control at the moment and will be for quite a while."
KittenBootsPlus5: "Then whose control is he under?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "His own."
KittenBootsPlus5: "You released him?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "I never had custody of him. The military arrested him for a suspicious attempted break-in, and he was let go shortly thereafter."
KittenBootsPlus5: "Fine."
KittenBootsPlus5: And he shall go!
SirAlexTheFirst: Lea looks to Aria for guidance.
coughingpuppy: Aurelia follows Verity out.
AndrewRogue: *Aria...*
Dark Japheth: Zao is waiting for Aria to leave first before he will.
KittenBootsPlus5: Verity will be twisting his hand off as soon as they get out of the happy room and plugging into a terminal.
SirAlexTheFirst: Aight.
coughingpuppy: "Where are you going, Verity?"
KittenBootsPlus5: "To find out where Karn went, my dear."
KittenBootsPlus5: "Then to find my new toy."
KittenBootsPlus5: "And maybe break it anyway."
AndrewRogue: "I'll... go on and leave Lea. I'll be up in a minute or two."
SirAlexTheFirst: So Lea departs and heads back to her room. She treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
coughingpuppy: "If we're going to go and look for Karn, we should try to find out where he could be before we jump into anything."
Dark Japheth: So Zao, Bandon, Aria, and Mab walk into a bar...
KittenBootsPlus5: "Yes, I mean to." He wrenches his right hand off rather suddenly.
AndrewRogue: And finally Aria leaves and... I dunno. Goes to Lea's room and sits very quietly.
coughingpuppy: Aurelia grimaces for just a second. "So where do you plan to go, then?"
KittenBootsPlus5: "You know, I'm not entirely sure."
Dark Japheth: Zao will head to his own room, and begin writing.
coughingpuppy: "Will you wait until I'm given leave to go?"
KittenBootsPlus5: "But if you're serious about this cult, I'm going to have to try to protect you. And for that, I'll need men."
KittenBootsPlus5: "You have leave to go, my dear."
KittenBootsPlus5: "In fact, I think we're being compelled to."
coughingpuppy: She looks at him for a moment, then shakes her head. "I think you were right about the religion. I have more than enough time to pursue something like that later."\
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab calls to Zao. "Hon, wait here a few minutes, please?"
Dark Japheth: Zao nods. "As you wish."
Dark Japheth: And he will instead sit.
KittenBootsPlus5: "Either way, I don't want to get caught unprepared the next time someone decides to come knocking. The more blades between you and them, the better."
KittenBootsPlus5: "Whether they're hidden or drawn."
SirAlexTheFirst: What about Bandon?
SirAlexTheFirst: (When you have time with V&A, I mean. Awkward splitscene happened there.(
coughingpuppy: "How do you plan to get men, Verity? Most people here want us for something, and we have no idea whether or not we can trust ANYONE."
KittenBootsPlus5: "I have two already. And the girl is hopelessly entwined - it'll be child's play to keep her at our side."
KittenBootsPlus5: "And more will come."
KittenBootsPlus5: "They always do."
coughingpuppy: Aurelia frowns at him. "I won't have you using them to protect me."
KittenBootsPlus5: "No?"
KittenBootsPlus5: "I use myself and my sword to protect you. How is it different?"
coughingpuppy: "They have their own lives and responsibilities. You should be past using them as tools by now."
KittenBootsPlus5: "Oh, please."
KittenBootsPlus5: "Spare me the rightous pretention. Your students would be the same thing to you."
KittenBootsPlus5: "I'll do what it takes to preserve us."
KittenBootsPlus5: "Don't pretend you're too good to use people anymore. I know better."
coughingpuppy: The struggle to maintain poise is obvious, and it fails. "I'm trying to get past that!" Her voice is as close to a roar as an elf's is going to get.
KittenBootsPlus5: "That's wonderful. You do that, and stop trying to tell me how to do my job."
coughingpuppy: Aurelia takes a minute to calm down, levels her gaze at him, and replies, "This isn't a job. I can move past what I did...and if you're still too mired in it,
coughingpuppy: I can't do anything about that. I can associate with others without using them, and saying so isn't pretention. I don't use you."
coughingpuppy: ((Sorry to steal the chat, guys...this just kind of sprung up unexpectedly.))
Dark Japheth: (Dude, its ok.)
AndrewRogue: (Go ahead. Its fun ^_^)
Adm H Sopko: (I'm liking it)
AndrewRogue: (I'm enjoying.)
Dark Japheth: (This makes me glad I'm celibate. The Verity/Aurelia thing is awesome)
SirAlexTheFirst: (*adds happy sentiments*)
KittenBootsPlus5: "Now you're being semantic. I'll use them the same way an employeer uses his employees. Or have you gone completely back to Larathien's way of thinking? To hell with control?"
coughingpuppy: "Hardly. And I wouldn't be raising an objection, if you were their employer. But you aren't. Give them at least a mediocum of respect."
KittenBootsPlus5: "I do!"
KittenBootsPlus5: His objection sounds genuine!
KittenBootsPlus5: They both know very well that Verity's definition of "modicum of respect" is wildly different from hers.
coughingpuppy: "You don't. You torment that boy like a playground bully and constantly expect Aria to indulge you."
KittenBootsPlus5: He nods. "And?"
KittenBootsPlus5: "The mage needs a dose of reality with his honor. And the girl needs to break out of her little shell."
KittenBootsPlus5: "Either they's take me for a challenge and rise to it, or they'll serve a better purpose doing as I say."
KittenBootsPlus5: "Either way is better than letting them wander like beasts without heads."
coughingpuppy: "Serving a better purpose? Now who's being pretentious?"
KittenBootsPlus5: He grins.
KittenBootsPlus5: "You know me."
coughingpuppy: She does not lighten up. "All too well, sometimes."
coughingpuppy: She folds her arms and does a fairly accurate imitation of him trying to look intimidating. "'
KittenBootsPlus5: ((They're so married.))
AndrewRogue: (Heh!)
coughingpuppy: "'You need to take part in this one way, or another, Aurelia.' You can't tell me that's the best way to maintain group cohesion."
KittenBootsPlus5: His grin becomes a bit lecherous.
KittenBootsPlus5: "It seemed to work out."
coughingpuppy: "At the time. But this is a different situation entirely, and I don't think you'll get anywhere by bullying your companions now."
KittenBootsPlus5: "Or sleeping with them?
KittenBootsPlus5: "
coughingpuppy: "That would find you a cardiac arrest at a very regrettable young age."
KittenBootsPlus5: He grins.
AndrewRogue: (I'm sure Zao wouldn't mind...)
KittenBootsPlus5: "Don't worry. I don't need another Shiz-Rahn, nor will I try to build one."
coughingpuppy: "You're trying to build one on a smaller scale. Or so it seems to me."
KittenBootsPlus5: He pats her shoulder. "Nothing so obscene. Think of it as....insurance."\
coughingpuppy: Aurelia just shakes her head. She's obviously still frustrated. "You could stop patronizing me whenever you feel like it, you know."
KittenBootsPlus5: "I'm not patronizing you. I'm being grand. There's a difference."
coughingpuppy: "I don't know why I bother trying to talk to you about anything. Go find Karn."
KittenBootsPlus5: He smiles, kisses her, and goes over to the terminal.
KittenBootsPlus5: He tickles her under her chin as he steps away.
coughingpuppy: She watches him go to the terminal, hesitates, and then steps after him. "I may as well go too, if we're being kicked out of here."
KittenBootsPlus5: "Good thinking, love."
KittenBootsPlus5: Scene switch?
SirAlexTheFirst: Sure. Or, end for night.
Dark Japheth: Switch!
KittenBootsPlus5: Your call.
Dark Japheth: Or end.
Dark Japheth: >_>
KittenBootsPlus5: Switch to Zao!
AndrewRogue: Do it.
SirAlexTheFirst: Argle. I'm more messed up from being sick than I thought, so you've prolly noticed the slowness. My apologies. Anyways.
SirAlexTheFirst: What is Bandon doing when everyone else is leaving?
KittenBootsPlus5: Having a relatively long one-on-one session with Mab.
KittenBootsPlus5: Then going to meet with the other church leaders.
KittenBootsPlus5: What is Zao doing?
AndrewRogue: Then ready-go!
Dark Japheth: Zao is waiting. Mab told him to stay there.
SirAlexTheFirst: Ya.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab looks between Bandon and Zao-Lot. "Well, dears? I need to speak with each of you.... alone."
KittenBootsPlus5: Bandon will smile and step out.
Dark Japheth: "I guess by process of elimination, that leaves me." Zao tries to grin.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab smiles gently back at him. "Now, hon, we're not out at the Labs, and you're not going to go there."
SirAlexTheFirst: "So we'll have to work out something a little different for you."
Dark Japheth: He nods.
KittenBootsPlus5 has left the room.
coughingpuppy: ((We're going to go play KotOR II some more. 'Night, guys.))
Dark Japheth: "As you wish."
Dark Japheth: (Alright. Night.)
coughingpuppy has left the room.
SirAlexTheFirst: "What sort of enhancements were you thinking about in particular?"
SirAlexTheFirst: (Good night, then.)
Dark Japheth: "Physicals would be pointless. I.. am not a physical combatant. Can you enhance my spellcasting? Or my brainpower?"
Adm H Sopko has left the room.
Dark Japheth: (Lag?)
Adm H Sopko has entered the room.
Dark Japheth: (No. Rocking.)
Adm H Sopko: ((::Kicks AIM:: ))
SirAlexTheFirst: (Test)
SirAlexTheFirst: (Test 2)
SirAlexTheFirst: (Ah yay)
SirAlexTheFirst: Anyways
Dark Japheth: (K.)
Dark Japheth: Zao is kind of quiet and meek as he speaks. He's almost not directly asking for anything specific, merely asking if the possibility is open for him to ask that.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab nods. "With what I have here, I can't help your magic. But I can give you a nice little revamp to make your brain a lot more efficient."
Dark Japheth: "Will... I become like Hunter?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Isn't that what you want?"
Dark Japheth: "I mean.. I would rather it to be like verity. My own identity mostly unchanged?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Oh, heavens no." She chuckles again. "You'll be just the same person."
Dark Japheth: Zao thinks for a minute, trying to figure out the best way to say it... "If my allegiance to my friends will not waiver, then I would be infinitely grateful to you."
SirAlexTheFirst: "I assure you it won't. But don't be so grateful yet, hon. I am going to have to ask a price from you."
Dark Japheth: Zao will nod. "I assumed as such. What would the price be?"
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab looks at Zao, dead serious. "One service."
AndrewRogue: (BRB. Bathroom.)
Dark Japheth: "What is this service?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Whatever I need done. This is for me to cash in at a later date, you see."
Dark Japheth: "As long as it does not break issues of my honor, or my friends, nor my love, then I will gladly do it."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Your same sense of honor as what led you to break into my job, my home, and almost kill my people?"
Dark Japheth: Zao will twitch. "Under the assumptions I was given to operate, that was the only means possible to acquire the release of Verity."
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab raises an eyebrow at you. "Honor is a relative and changing concept, hon. You could very well decide that it would be dishonorable of you to hold up any deals with me, and then where would I be?"
Dark Japheth: "Except I cannot decide that. Once I have made a vow, I cannot break it."
SirAlexTheFirst: "According to your current system of honor."
Dark Japheth: "Are your terminals capable of accessing anything about current events in Nagukor?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Of course they are."
Dark Japheth: "Then I will assume that before you interrogated me, you know of my history, if only the War Games."
Dark Japheth: "You also are able to access, certainly, documents on the nature of honor within the country of Nagukor."
Dark Japheth: "While the outcome of the event may have been dishonorable in the end, I did not slay any of your people. Nor did I aid in their slaying."
Dark Japheth: "In the act which was so dishonorable, I maintained honor, while also assisting my friends."
SirAlexTheFirst: "In the War Games you blatantly broke the Nagukorian traditions by using deception, something that was clearly greatly dishonorable in the eyes of a vast majority of Nagukor."
Dark Japheth: "Yet, my honor was restored, by the Emperor."
Dark Japheth: "If you have access to check my history, other than a disagreement with my father and the head of the Scorpion clan, my honor is untouched and unharmed."
Dark Japheth: "Both were lapses in judgement I regret. Though I was deceptive, are the Scorpions not deceptive? Yet also honorable in their own way?"
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab has a dangerous glint in her eye. "That, hon, isn't really relevant right now. What IS relevant is that you've had 'lapses in judgement' where you ignore your code of honor...
SirAlexTheFirst: ... and they just happen to coincide wtih things you wanted to happen - winning the Games, going to bed with your companion..."
Dark Japheth: Normally, Zao would let her finish. The moment she says going to bed, he's going to twitch. "That.. I have tried to reclaim my honor."
Dark Japheth: "I.. I went to Bayushi. And swore a vow to him. One that has guided me here, all the way, here to you."
Dark Japheth: "I swore an oath to Ryuunosuke, that I would do nothing to harm her, and everything it took to be nearer to her. Yet.."
Dark Japheth: "I could have smuggled us both out of the country."
Dark Japheth: "I have the skill. I had a connection, and she had many. Why didn't we just leave? Honor."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Oh, I know, but it's after the fact, hon. And then you got trapped between your oath to her and your honor, and chose honor over oath. That's exactly what I don't want to happen here."
Dark Japheth: "Then how can I persuade you that I will be honorable?"
Dark Japheth: "Or that I will indeed do as you say, and give you an essential blank check for an action not yet decided?"
Dark Japheth: He's making it sound absurd.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab shakes her head. "Isawa Zao-Lot, I will accept your word, but it must come with no provisions, no way for you to weasel out."
Dark Japheth: He'd ask how he weaseled out of things, but she kind of just pointed out all of his personality flaws in the past thirty seconds or so. So he will just sort of nod.
SirAlexTheFirst: "I have your word, then?"
Dark Japheth: "As much as that is worth to you, yes. What would you have me swear by?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "That'll do, dear. That'll do. Now, come up here and stand still, and keep your eyes open. This may hurt a bit."
Dark Japheth: Zao does so.
Dark Japheth: Before anything else happens, though, he says "What will happen to the Many?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Well, now. That just so happens to be part of what I had in mind." She grins inhumanly wide. "Now, keep those eyes open."
SirAlexTheFirst: The Many flutter down and alight on your head and shoulders and back.
Dark Japheth: Zao lays perfectly still, using the circlet to project happy to them. Calm.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mab stands in front of you, and raises her right hand.
SirAlexTheFirst: You can only see it in your peripheral vision, but her hand has clearly changed. It's a different color, silvery instead of pink, and the fingers look longer and mor epointed than they should.
SirAlexTheFirst: Then her hand rushes towards you, and your eyes barely register that it wasn't a trick of the light after all as Mab rams her fingers into your eye sockets.
Dark Japheth: Zao will probably flinch a bit. But... hmm. Will save to not scream? Yes! Will to not scream.
OnlineHost: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
Dark Japheth: 32
SirAlexTheFirst: Your vision goes dark, your head is filled with blinding and burning pain, and you'll wake up later.
SirAlexTheFirst: ~~~~~~~~~~~END~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dark Japheth: Ooooh. Creepy end.
SirAlexTheFirst: ACK, sorry
SirAlexTheFirst: I forgot to give you the disclaimer!
SirAlexTheFirst: Standard disclaimer: What you are doing here is a character-altering choice that will have drastic short and long term repercussions on the playing of this character.
Dark Japheth: Ah. Righty.
SirAlexTheFirst: If you want to back out you still can, we can redo that scene.
Dark Japheth: No, it'd be weird to back out. Did I get Lack-of-Will-ified?
AndrewRogue: ...like a blind retard couldn't see that the disclaimer applied?
Dark Japheth: ...Lets not make fun of me now. >_>
SirAlexTheFirst: You'd be surprised, Andrew.
AndrewRogue: If they're too dumb to notice they can go hang themselves.
SirAlexTheFirst: Let the record show that Gorth waives his right to back out on this character concept ruin-er, alteration.
Dark Japheth: I'm cool. Zao still my character, or do I make a new one?
SirAlexTheFirst: He's still yours.
Dark Japheth: Rocking.
SirAlexTheFirst: Did you ever stat The Many or did you want me to?
Dark Japheth: I never did. I figured out base stuff, which was familiar stats
SirAlexTheFirst: Ach.
SirAlexTheFirst: Well.
Dark Japheth: Like, it uses my saves, has half my HP, and all that.
SirAlexTheFirst: You get a +2 inherent bonus to Int.
SirAlexTheFirst: And an additional bonus equal to The Many's Int bonus.
Dark Japheth: R...rocking.
Dark Japheth: What was their Int Bonus?
SirAlexTheFirst: Something like +1 for every 100 individuals in the swarm?
SirAlexTheFirst: I'll look up the correct rules when I stat them. Eventually.
Dark Japheth: I believe thats it.
Dark Japheth: Thats cool.
SirAlexTheFirst: Call them 14 Int, so that's another +2 for you.
Dark Japheth: Nice.
SirAlexTheFirst: That's all.
SirAlexTheFirst: Comments and discussion?
Dark Japheth: Int 17 is nice.
SirAlexTheFirst: Make em fast, I'm dying over here.
Dark Japheth: I'll assume not retroactive?
AndrewRogue: Yes.
SirAlexTheFirst: Not retroactive.
AndrewRogue: From now on.
AndrewRogue: Someone else will save and edit logs.
AndrewRogue: And then give them to me.
AndrewRogue: Or you will mark the words ~~~~~SAVE HERE~~~~~~
Dark Japheth: I got this one.
SirAlexTheFirst: Gorth has this?
AndrewRogue: And I will save there.
SirAlexTheFirst: All right.
Dark Japheth: Do you mind .rtf format?
