not8mihalis8boy: (damn....that sucked...Michael, can you save the transcript?)
not8mihalis8boy: (and somebody cut and paste the last few lines)
firelight mystic: (okay)
WuseMajor: (yes)
not8mihalis8boy: ('kay)
not8mihalis8boy: (paste?)
firelight mystic: not8mihalis8boy: "Reach deep inside yourself, honey. To where
Sammael and Brighde are. Do you want my help?"
not8mihalis8boy: (actually, Michael, go ahead and save, so that even if you get booted,
we have a copy)
firelight mystic: not8mihalis8boy: "When you find them, grab them, and use it to fill
yourself....fill the emptiness, sweetie."
firelight mystic: firelight mystic: *sniffle*
firelight mystic: firelight mystic: ...help....
WuseMajor: (i just did)
not8mihalis8boy: "Okay. We'll reach together. Now fill the emptiness where the amulet
was. Have you found them yet. I've got them."
firelight mystic: (that should be it)
not8mihalis8boy: (thanks, Mike)
firelight mystic: (I force myself to calm down long enough to reach out for the familiar snatches
of Brighde and the newly fledged sensations of Sammael...)
firelight mystic: (oops, that was to be in character...)
firelight mystic: I have them......
not8mihalis8boy: "Now I'm going to let go. Hang on."
not8mihalis8boy: "Still got it?"
firelight mystic: Y...yes....
firelight mystic: *I clutch on as tightly as possible, like a child clutching a security blanket*
not8mihalis8boy: "Now. Visualize that your soul is an empty bucket."
not8mihalis8boy: "Your Avatar, and mine, are the Waters of Life. Fill yourself."
firelight mystic: *I let my "bucket" fall deep into the waters, and let it fill over.**
not8mihalis8boy: You find that you can't move the 'bucket'
firelight mystic: I---it's not working!!!
firelight mystic: It's not working, Alli!
firelight mystic: *panics*
WuseMajor: (have i had a chance to examine her amulet before?)
not8mihalis8boy: "Calm down. Did you try to fill your bucket with the water?"
not8mihalis8boy: "That should have worked, since Hermetic theory tells us that all
magic springs from the Avatar."
Great Denmark has left the room.
firelight mystic: I did everything you told me---I visualized the bucket, and the waters, and I
pictured myself letting it flow over withthe waters....
firelight mystic: I'm NOT Hermetic!
firelight mystic: I'm not anything at the moment!
not8mihalis8boy: "Flow over with waters?"
not8mihalis8boy: "What do you mean?"
not8mihalis8boy: (You never could figure it out, Wu. It's not of this world)
firelight mystic: I threw the bucket in deep, and let it fill up, and when i tried to pull it back in,
it wouldn't budge...
not8mihalis8boy: (THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED, ALICIA)
not8mihalis8boy: (The bucket wouldn't budge. Pay ATTENTION)
firelight mystic: (I thought the bucket didn't budge when I tried to pull it back in.....)
firelight mystic: (so it didn't work at *all*?)
WuseMajor: (it is made of an unknowable subsance?)
not8mihalis8boy: (right.)
not8mihalis8boy: (to both of you)
firelight mystic: (okay)
firelight mystic: I couldn't even move the bucket!
firelight mystic: I tried to do everything you said, I visualized everything, but it wouldn't move!
WuseMajor: (what did it look like it was made of?)
firelight mystic: (Can I remember anything from my nightmare, specifically the part about my
goddess being silent/ripped from me?)
not8mihalis8boy: "Of COURSE you can't move the bucket. I didn't SAY 'Move the
bucket.' I said fill it with water. You cannot move your own soul, silly."
not8mihalis8boy: (You remember everything except the details)
firelight mystic: Fine.
firelight mystic: I'll try again....
Nix527 has entered the room.
firelight mystic: (would this apply in this situation?)
not8mihalis8boy: (no)
firelight mystic: (okay)
firelight mystic: Don't try to move the bucket, just let it fill up?
not8mihalis8boy: "Move the water. NEVER try to move your own soul."
firelight mystic: Okay
firelight mystic: *I retry, this time not moving the bucket, but the water.*
not8mihalis8boy: "You could rip out your avatar, trying to do that."
firelight mystic: Wha--?
firelight mystic: why did you say that?
not8mihalis8boy: You feel yourself being filled with life and magic and energy and
fire....everything.
WuseMajor: (hey cory do you still have songs of science and the sone of ether book?)
not8mihalis8boy: You feel complete again
Nix527: (Yep)
not8mihalis8boy: However, you feel complete with ALLISON, too
Nix527: (That is so dirty)
firelight mystic: (shaddup)
not8mihalis8boy: Allison looks at you with a new-found wonder, and reaches out and
touches your right breast
firelight mystic: (the hell?!?!)
not8mihalis8boy: Then she jumps, and yanks her hand back as if burned
not8mihalis8boy: Staring at her hand
firelight mystic: what are you doing?!
firelight mystic: what happened?
not8mihalis8boy: "Touch me."
firelight mystic: clutches chest....
Nix527: (see what I mean?)
not8mihalis8boy: (snicker)
firelight mystic: (no kidding...)
not8mihalis8boy: (shuddup, peanut gallery)
WuseMajor: (would you be willing to sell the son of ether book. I have been having a hard
time findig songs of scince and i mainly want it for the son's section)
firelight mystic: "There? You're joking, right?"
Nix527: (sure, make me an offer)
not8mihalis8boy: "Anywhere."
not8mihalis8boy: (That you can't refuse)
WuseMajor: (well they cost ten $ right?)
Nix527: (yeah about)
firelight mystic: I tentatively reach out and touch her arm
Nix527: (ooooh)
WuseMajor: (well is it still in good shape?)
Nix527: (I like this RPing session already)
not8mihalis8boy: You jump, as if burned, because you feel a touch on *your* arm, as
well
Nix527: (Yes)
firelight mystic: what the........
not8mihalis8boy: You sit, staring at your arm, in wonder
WuseMajor: (well how about 10$?)
firelight mystic: How is this happening.....?
not8mihalis8boy: Allison: <smugly> "See? I think Wu could explain it better, but I
believe we've entered our Avatars into a Cross-Matrix, resulting in a fusion of spirit
which extends to the 'sixth sense', and possibly farther."
Nix527: (that'll work, and when would you like to complete this transaction?)
firelight mystic: huh
WuseMajor: (i was thinking i could send you a check for 15$ and a sasb)
not8mihalis8boy: "It may be a full sensory translation, as indicated by the tactile
sensation, or that might be a side effect of said spiritual, or 'sixth' sense translation."
firelight mystic: in English, please?
firelight mystic: Cross matrix?
Nix527: (sasb?)
firelight mystic: tactile sensation?
not8mihalis8boy: "Ummm.....We're joined at the soul."
firelight mystic: okay.....
firelight mystic: that makes sen--no way.
firelight mystic: but how?
firelight mystic: wait--our Avatars, right?
not8mihalis8boy: "It may just mean phantom sensations, or it could be that we share a
full sensory....err....."
firelight mystic: I don't even want to *think* about where that could lead....
not8mihalis8boy: "We might feel, hear, see, taste, and smell what the other sees, as
well."
WuseMajor: "what i want to know is when you learned all those big words..."
Nix527: (sex)
Nix527: (everything leads to sex)
firelight mystic: (shaddup)
WuseMajor: (or was she a math major?)
WuseMajor: (self addresed stamped box)
not8mihalis8boy: (Actually, Wu, she's your best friend because she's the only person
you know as smart as you are.....Intelligence 4)
WuseMajor: (ah)
firelight mystic: (so what does that make me? Chop suey?)
not8mihalis8boy: "What??? Just because you're a Science! geek, doesn't mean I'm
illiterate!"
Nix527: (ah, do you have the Bastet bokk, and if so, could I borrow it?)
not8mihalis8boy: (Why the sasb, Michael? You two live in the same town)
WuseMajor: (yes what do you want to know?)
firelight mystic: (I feel neglected...)
not8mihalis8boy: "This is Hermetic theory!"
Nix527: (Or, maybe I'll just use the money and get one for myself)
Nix527: (That be the thing to do)
firelight mystic: (Isn't there something similar to this in Verbena theory?)
firelight mystic: (Or lore or whatever?)
WuseMajor: "i don't know much about hermetic theory."
Nix527: (Do you know if Nan's has the Bastet book?)
WuseMajor: "and i thought that you had broken with them a while ago..."
firelight mystic: "Nor do I."
WuseMajor: (not sure)
Nix527: (k)
not8mihalis8boy: (not all scientific)
WuseMajor: (i bought one there recently but i don't know if the have one now)
firelight mystic: hey guys?
not8mihalis8boy: "Okay, okay. And I DIDN'T break with them. They kicked me out."
firelight mystic: I gotta run for fifteen minutes....
not8mihalis8boy: (OOC)
firelight mystic: (Will you run Traci till i get back)
not8mihalis8boy: (no, but I will pause the game)
firelight mystic: (thanx)
firelight mystic: (brb)
firelight mystic has left the room.
not8mihalis8boy: (Mike, Cory, you two talk business outside of the chat)
Nix527: (sorry)
not8mihalis8boy: (And I got stuff I want to talk to both of you about, plus dinner)
WuseMajor: "and i'm sorry. i you haven't talked like this in a while."
WuseMajor: "i forget how smart you are sometimes..."
not8mihalis8boy: (nah, it's okay....I just don't want the room to get TOO cluttered
while she's gone)
not8mihalis8boy: "It's alright. I've had a wake-up call."
not8mihalis8boy: (Pause Game)
not8mihalis8boy: (Woo-hoo! I found the Start button on reality!)
Nix527: (lol)
Nix527 has left the room.
not8mihalis8boy: (<hits Start button>)
firelight mystic has entered the room.
not8mihalis8boy: (Resume game)
firelight mystic: where did we leave off?
not8mihalis8boy: Talking about the soul-merging
firelight mystic: ah
firelight mystic: okay
not8mihalis8boy: Warning: There may be pauses where I disappear to eat
WuseMajor: (no prob)
firelight mystic: (fine by me. You'd better eat....)
not8mihalis8boy: (yummy enchiladas)
firelight mystic: (enjoy them. Feel better)
not8mihalis8boy: (Shameless plug: Since, in order to be reading this, you must have
visited my site, since that's where it will be posted, check out my recipes section. It has
yummy enchiladas....)
firelight mystic: *roll eyes*
WuseMajor: (oy)
not8mihalis8boy: "But enough theory."
not8mihalis8boy: "How do you feel, honey?"
WuseMajor: "yes are you ok?"
firelight mystic: "Better."
WuseMajor: (and you never answered me. what does that amulet look like it was made of?)
firelight mystic: "Mostly. That dream........."
not8mihalis8boy: (weird black metal)
WuseMajor: "dream?"
WuseMajor: (ok)
firelight mystic: I had this horrendous nightmare
WuseMajor: "what happened in it?"
firelight mystic: (Can I vague this part since I don't have the exact tdream transcript
anymore?)
not8mihalis8boy: "Is that why you were screaming?"
not8mihalis8boy: (hang on)
firelight mystic: Yes.
firelight mystic: It started out with me floating above the city.
not8mihalis8boy: (wait....neither do I. Michael, would you send it to her?)
firelight mystic: It was quiet--and the city was on fire.
firelight mystic: It was as if it were almost in pain......
not8mihalis8boy: "The whole thing was on fire???"
not8mihalis8boy: (no)
firelight mystic: Not the whole thing.....different spots
not8mihalis8boy: (just various parts, ala The Crow)
firelight mystic: (beat ya to it this time!)
not8mihalis8boy: (heh)
not8mihalis8boy: (I'm eating)
firelight mystic: I remember looking up at the moon, and this bat like creature, maybe 30, 40,
feet long flies through it
not8mihalis8boy: "THROUGH???!!"
firelight mystic: Not through, through.
firelight mystic: But it was...what's the word....
firelight mystic: silhouetted on it
not8mihalis8boy: (beat m to it)
not8mihalis8boy: (me)
firelight mystic: (HAH)
WuseMajor: "very odd"
WuseMajor: (sending)
not8mihalis8boy: (I'm typing one-handed)
firelight mystic: It gets worse
firelight mystic: I have this flash, horrible things in the night, and then my Goddess was ripped
from me
firelight mystic: and I'm left shuddering from chill
firelight mystic: that's when I felt myself start being tugged towards an area
not8mihalis8boy: (no, it was a flashback....she'd ALREADY been ripped from you)
firelight mystic: It was so odd...I remember trying to resist the pull, but I couldn't
firelight mystic: ((ack! Left out a word...dangit...)
not8mihalis8boy: (okay....as long as we're clear, my above comment will make it clear
to readers)
firelight mystic: (kay)
firelight mystic: (anyway...)
not8mihalis8boy: (go on)
firelight mystic: as I try to resist, I realize that I'm not entirely there.
firelight mystic: not physically.
firelight mystic: I'm like a ghost.
not8mihalis8boy: <gently> "Like a disembodiment?"
not8mihalis8boy: "An out-of-body experience?"
firelight mystic: yes....
not8mihalis8boy: "Hmm....go on."
not8mihalis8boy: <whispers> "wu...we need to talk...later"
firelight mystic: then, this voice kicks in in the back of my mind.......
firelight mystic: I remember it said, "or a dream"
firelight mystic: I don't know who, or what it's from, and it won't reveal itself to me.
WuseMajor: whispers "got it."
firelight mystic: (Hey! No secrets!)
firelight mystic: As I drift down, I see this weird building....
firelight mystic: like an ancient cathedral.
not8mihalis8boy: (thinks) In New York City? Yeah, right!
firelight mystic: only, it's made from iron (shivers)
firelight mystic: with smokestacks.
firelight mystic: it's like a twisted factory....
not8mihalis8boy: (something from a Tim Burton nightmare, as I recall....)
firelight mystic: and I can't resist it....
firelight mystic: (hey--I'm not trying to do direct quotes except when necessary...)
not8mihalis8boy: (I know....that's why I was making an OOC comment)
firelight mystic: I'm completely drawn to it, and that voice in my mind says "blood calls to
blood...)
firelight mystic: when I try to make it explain what that means, I get nothing but silence from it.
firelight mystic: I remember passing through walls, seeing these horrific things, strange
chemicals.....
firelight mystic: then, it all stops, and I'm before a man sitting on a throne of skulls
not8mihalis8boy: (Like X)
firelight mystic: a woman's in his lap....
not8mihalis8boy: (hmm....imagine a woman IN your lap....)
firelight mystic: and she seems to be trying to cheer him up....
firelight mystic: (how about a hot guy....)
not8mihalis8boy: (not ON. IN.)
firelight mystic: as I look at them, I realize they look like the Joker and Harly Quinn.
firelight mystic: From that crazy Batman cartoon....
WuseMajor: "them?!?"
firelight mystic: yeah
not8mihalis8boy: AHEM!
firelight mystic: what?
firelight mystic: oh---right......
not8mihalis8boy: (nevermind)
firelight mystic: anyway, the woman says "what's wrong puddin" I mean, classic Harly Quinn
voice and everything....
firelight mystic: and then, I look at the Jokers eyes, and they are haunted.
firelight mystic: and it chills me....
firelight mystic: then, he stares at me, and says, "Welcome, Traci. It's time to join the family."
not8mihalis8boy: "Oh, dear."
WuseMajor: "yikes"
firelight mystic: I realize then, that those two *are* my closet kin.
firelight mystic: or represent them....
firelight mystic: or.....
not8mihalis8boy: "Who?"
firelight mystic: *trails off and shudders*
firelight mystic: I don't know.
WuseMajor: "i think you had said somthing about a weird family but i didn't expect this?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Who do you think they are?"
firelight mystic: I don't know.
firelight mystic: The only kin I'm really close to is my cousin Teri............
not8mihalis8boy: "Are you gonna be alright?"
WuseMajor: "are you going to be ok?"
firelight mystic: "I......I think so. I just need some time to gather myself."
WuseMajor: "should you call her?"
firelight mystic: "Maybe a shower or something to get myself together."
firelight mystic: "I don't know......I called her before, about my uncle...."
firelight mystic: "Uncle Braxton..."
firelight mystic: trails off......
not8mihalis8boy: "Oh, dear."
firelight mystic: hmm?
not8mihalis8boy: "Isn't he the Nephandi?"
WuseMajor: "what?"
not8mihalis8boy: (Nephandus)
firelight mystic: yeah.
firelight mystic: I ran into him earlier
WuseMajor: "could that be him?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Oh? What happened?"
firelight mystic: when I went shopping.......
firelight mystic: He had opened a store on 5th avenue
firelight mystic: a cosmetics shop..all that good stuff
firelight mystic: he tried to get me to come in, but I wouldn't.
firelight mystic: So he came out....
not8mihalis8boy: "Waitaminute. Cosmetics?"
WuseMajor: whispers "bet they suck out your soul..."
not8mihalis8boy: "Remember Batman?"
firelight mystic: "Yeah."
WuseMajor: "yeah"
firelight mystic: "You don't think he'd....."
firelight mystic: "Goddess."
not8mihalis8boy: "Yes."
WuseMajor: "time to break some cosmetics..."
firelight mystic: "But Teri said she'd deal with him......."
WuseMajor: "well has she?"
firelight mystic: "She was going to fly down.."
not8mihalis8boy: "Maybe she got dealt with by him."
firelight mystic: "I haven't heard from her...."
WuseMajor: "maybe..."
firelight mystic: "I doubt that."
WuseMajor: "call her."
not8mihalis8boy: "Dilemna: face hunting down the origins of that statue, which I think
we all agree is probably of something horrible that Man Was Not Meant To Know, or
kick your uncle's ass."
firelight mystic: "I mean, she's tried to off him like, a thousand times already, but..."
firelight mystic: "Well, maybe we should focus on the statue. Teri can handle the old bastard."
firelight mystic: "but I'll call her if you like..."
not8mihalis8boy: "That would be wise."
not8mihalis8boy: (BTW, Teri was flying in tonight, if you recall)
firelight mystic: *pulls out phone, and dials Teri's number.*
firelight mystic: (yup)
firelight mystic: "she should be here soon. She was flying in tonight...."
not8mihalis8boy: "What?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Who is this?"
firelight mystic: "It's Traci."
firelight mystic: "Teri, I was just calling to see if you made it in okay."
not8mihalis8boy: "Oh. Is this important? I'm at the airport, and security is a bitch."
firelight mystic: "Yeah."
not8mihalis8boy: "We had to leave most of our equipment."
firelight mystic: "It's about Braxton...."
firelight mystic: "Equipment?"
not8mihalis8boy: "I've got Alex, and Gouka with me. Shouldn't be any sweat."
not8mihalis8boy: "You know. Unmentionable things made of metal?"
firelight mystic: "Ahhh....."
not8mihalis8boy: "I'm surprised I was still able to FIND Gouka."
not8mihalis8boy: You hear a loud cough
firelight mystic: "But Uncle Braxton...he's opened a store. And is selling cosmetics..."
firelight mystic: "Really? why?"
firelight mystic: "What was that?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Okay, okay. ALEX found Gouka. But the three of us can handle
him."
firelight mystic: "I had this dream, though, and I'm really worried......."
not8mihalis8boy: "We'll buy the shop after I kick Daddy's ass once and for all."
WuseMajor: (destroy it)
not8mihalis8boy: she instantly snaps to attention
WuseMajor: (remove the quin from it...)
not8mihalis8boy: "Dream?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Hang on"
not8mihalis8boy: covers mouthpiece with hand
firelight mystic: "Yeah...Okay."
not8mihalis8boy: "Shut up, Alex. It's my cousin. This is important"
not8mihalis8boy: muffled reply
not8mihalis8boy: "Yeah, well, there's a lot of things you don't know. Now shut up."
firelight mystic: (can I try and hear?)
not8mihalis8boy: uncovers mouthpiece
firelight mystic: (nevermind)
firelight mystic: Teri?
not8mihalis8boy: "Okay. Tell me about this dream."
not8mihalis8boy: "Was it a dream, or a Dream?"
firelight mystic: I think it was an omen.....
firelight mystic: (do I have to retell this thing again, or can I just list what I tell her?)
firelight mystic: (well, not list, but you know...)
not8mihalis8boy: (retell)
not8mihalis8boy: (because in character, you're tired of telling it, and you'll shorten it)
not8mihalis8boy: (I want to know what you tell her)
firelight mystic: Okay. Basically, I was floating through New York, and it was quieter than
normal. And there fires in different parts of the city. As I looked around, I saw a creature, bat
like, fly past the moon.
firelight mystic: It had to be like, thirty or forty feet long
not8mihalis8boy: "Sounds bad. We can take it."
firelight mystic: There's more
firelight mystic: I got this horrible flashback, with my Avatar being ripped from me
firelight mystic: Then, I begin to be pulled downwards, and try as I might, I can't resist it.
not8mihalis8boy: The line gets real quiet
firelight mystic: Teri?
not8mihalis8boy: You get the feeling that Teri's only listening with half an ear
firelight mystic: you there?
firelight mystic: Teri!
not8mihalis8boy: <distracted> "Yeah?"
firelight mystic: are you listening to me?
not8mihalis8boy: "I'm here. Chill"
firelight mystic: fine....
firelight mystic: anyway, It's as if I'm disembodied....
not8mihalis8boy: "I'm listening. I'm checking something, and we're having problems
with baggage claim."
firelight mystic: "Can't Alex our Gouka take care of that? You should really hear this?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Um....this was Gouka's first flight. And Alex is in the smoking
lounge. <cough, cough>"
not8mihalis8boy: "But I wanted to check something."
firelight mystic: "You should really pay attention to this part....."
not8mihalis8boy: "HANG ON, okay?"
firelight mystic: "Fine!;'
not8mihalis8boy: "Just a sec. I'm checking with Gouka."
not8mihalis8boy: "Alright. The point is this: none of us know anybody who can fix you
if you get hit with Gilgul. So avoid it."
firelight mystic: I know, I know
not8mihalis8boy: "Even _I_ can't do it yet. So leave the country or something. Flee."
firelight mystic: "Wait--hear me out."
not8mihalis8boy: "I'm listening now."
not8mihalis8boy: She is
firelight mystic: I get drawn to this strange factory, with cathedral overtones.
firelight mystic: and this voice calls from my mind, "blood calls to blood."
not8mihalis8boy: You can FEEL her focus on you, and it's intimidating. Next to you,
Allison shudders, and mutters "that answers THAT question."
not8mihalis8boy: "Oh? Braxton?"
firelight mystic: "This is where I get worried."
firelight mystic: "Inside, there is a man sitting on a throne of skulls."
firelight mystic: "And a woman in his lap."
firelight mystic: "They look like the joker and Harly Quinn
not8mihalis8boy: "Great. You've been watching too much TV, kiddo."
firelight mystic: the woman asks what's wrong, and then he focuses on me.
firelight mystic: No, I haven't. This is serious.
firelight mystic: He stares staright at me with these haunted eyes, and says, "Welcome, Traci.
It's time to join the family."
not8mihalis8boy: "You're talking about CARTOON characters!"
firelight mystic: I get the distinct feeling that they represent two of my closest relatives
firelight mystic: I *know* they do.
firelight mystic: and one of them is you......
firelight mystic: at least, I think.
firelight mystic: You're the closet family I've got at the moment.
not8mihalis8boy: "Oh."
not8mihalis8boy: "Crap."
firelight mystic: and then, remember how I told you Uncle had opened that store on 5th
avenue?
firelight mystic: selling cosmetics?
not8mihalis8boy: "Are you saying what I think I'm saying?"
not8mihalis8boy: "You think Braxton's gonna pull a Joker."
firelight mystic: A Cosmetic store?
firelight mystic: Yeah
not8mihalis8boy: "And manage to corrupt me."
firelight mystic: yeah
firelight mystic: *softly* I don't want to see that happen.
not8mihalis8boy: "Fat chance. I'll die before I join that bastard."
firelight mystic: You see why I'm worried?
firelight mystic: I know, but, Teri.....
not8mihalis8boy: "Yeah, yeah, I know."
firelight mystic: what if you don't have a choice........
firelight mystic: Harly was driven insane by the Joker....
not8mihalis8boy: (side note: do you know how HARD it is to try and mimic your,
a.k.a. Teri's, speech patterns?)
firelight mystic: (no....I'd never considered that.....)
WuseMajor: (i wish that i could hear both ends of this conversation...)
WuseMajor has left the room.
firelight mystic: (It's hard? Why?)
WuseMajor has entered the room.
not8mihalis8boy: "Whatever. I don't watch tv. But I'll bet she couldn't pull the Ball of
Abysmal Flame
firelight mystic: what if that happens to you?
not8mihalis8boy: "
not8mihalis8boy: "Look, I....hang on"
firelight mystic: and would you really roast the city jus tto get Braxton? TERI...
not8mihalis8boy: (Very hard....diction is totally different between us)
not8mihalis8boy: "Back. Okay. Problem. None of us can see the future."
firelight mystic: (hmm....never thought about that...)
WuseMajor: (my service hiccuped did i miss much?)
not8mihalis8boy: (THAT'S why I wanted YOU to roleplay her)
not8mihalis8boy: (no)
firelight mystic: I can
not8mihalis8boy: (you didn't miss jack, except that you're now a pretty shade of aqua)
not8mihalis8boy: "Okay. Do a reading."
not8mihalis8boy: (You still can't do magic)
firelight mystic: *softer, mostly to noone* Or could....
not8mihalis8boy: "What?"
firelight mystic: I've had a...bad experience.
not8mihalis8boy: "Tell you what, kiddo. Leave the country, and let me know what you
come up with when you do some prophesy. Now look, I gotta go argue with security.
Later."
not8mihalis8boy: (How am I doing on talking like Teri?)
not8mihalis8boy: (I don't have much to go on)
firelight mystic: (Great.)
not8mihalis8boy: (cool)
not8mihalis8boy: click
firelight mystic: (you have the impatience down...)
firelight mystic: but I....Teri?
firelight mystic: damnit.....
WuseMajor: (brb)
not8mihalis8boy: (but what about DICTION?)
firelight mystic: (kay)
not8mihalis8boy: (no prob)
not8mihalis8boy: Allison: "Well?"
firelight mystic: (she's usually a little more abrupt in circumstances like these, but still....the
diction was okay. what I would have written, most likely.)
firelight mystic: she hung up on me before I could finish telling her I can't do magic....
not8mihalis8boy: (okay...and you ARE her cousin, so she humored you...plus she
wasn't paying much attention)
firelight mystic: she caught on too. About Uncle pulling a Joker....
firelight mystic: (St.Claire family rule 1: Family is family, unless they're Nephandi.)
not8mihalis8boy: (heh)
not8mihalis8boy: "Great. So do we worry?"
firelight mystic: (and what does Warum Haben Sie mir verlassen? mean? Ben's harrasing me.)
not8mihalis8boy: (umm....hmm....I don't know)
not8mihalis8boy: (And to answer my own question: YES. I'M playing Braxton, after
all....)
firelight mystic: "She's told me to get out the country...but she's sure she can handle
everything."
WuseMajor: (b)
firelight mystic: (AGH)
not8mihalis8boy: (Michael, can you answer the Deutch question?)
not8mihalis8boy: (I know everything but Warum and verlassen....which isn't very
helpful)
firelight mystic: (every bit helps...spill, please.)
not8mihalis8boy: (Wait....Where do you have my.....???)
not8mihalis8boy: (Warum is where, isn't it?)
WuseMajor: (what do you have lately? Idunno.)
firelight mystic: (oh well)
not8mihalis8boy: (okay....so his German is even shittier than ours...general consensus:
it's a pathetic attempt at "What's up", possibly correct and beyond our knowledge, but
unlikely)
WuseMajor: (and who is he using the respectful form with?)
not8mihalis8boy: (Alicia....like I said, shitty German)
firelight mystic: (Me.)
firelight mystic: "Not yet. Teri may be able to handle this. She *is* a Nephandi slayer after
all."
not8mihalis8boy: "And what about your uncle?"
WuseMajor has left the room.
WuseMajor has entered the room.
firelight mystic: "She'll probably kick his ass, take out the store."
not8mihalis8boy: (problems, Michael?)
WuseMajor: (my service hiccuped again did i miss anything/)
firelight mystic: "Of course, he has a few problems staying dead.....but she's working on that."
not8mihalis8boy: "Why, then, hasn't she done this before?"
not8mihalis8boy: (no)
WuseMajor: "i assume that she didn't know about the store un till after you called her."
firelight mystic: "Oh, she's tried."
firelight mystic: "Nope."
not8mihalis8boy: (ug...now you're yellow)
firelight mystic: (hold on a sec. Benjamin just got shitty on me.)
not8mihalis8boy: (send me the transcript you took, Mike)
firelight mystic: (back)
WuseMajor: (is this any better?)
firelight mystic: (it's fine.)
not8mihalis8boy: (Better?)
WuseMajor: (you said i was yellow?)
not8mihalis8boy: (you mean the yellow? leave and come back)
WuseMajor has left the room.
firelight mystic: (can we not, and just move on.)
firelight mystic: (so much for that)
WuseMajor has entered the room.
WuseMajor: (what did i miss?)
not8mihalis8boy: (nothing. Back to game)
firelight mystic: (nothing)
firelight mystic: (kay)
not8mihalis8boy: "So. What about those clues to the statue?"
not8mihalis8boy: "We never DID visit his publisher."
WuseMajor: "no we didn't"
WuseMajor: "and i never did get those lovecraft books"
firelight mystic: "so we should do that then?"
firelight mystic: "Bookstore run, publisher run?"
not8mihalis8boy: At that point, there's a knock on the door
firelight mystic: "Hmm.....want me to get it?"
not8mihalis8boy: "No need. Come in!"
not8mihalis8boy: The door opens, and The Prince and his two psychotic babes walk in
firelight mystic: (joy and rapture)
not8mihalis8boy: "Good....evening."
not8mihalis8boy: "Now, I have gathered everything you requested. What do you want
to do first?"
firelight mystic: *looks to Alli.*
not8mihalis8boy: "Access to the library, while you send a minion to Prospero publishing
to retrieve some information."
WuseMajor has left the room.
not8mihalis8boy: (That's it. Alicia, do you have MSN IM yet?)
firelight mystic: (nope. want to take this to yahoo messenger?)
not8mihalis8boy: (everyone else does, and I want to start doing this there....it's easier,
and doesn't hiccup)
not8mihalis8boy: (NO. Only you have yahoo.)
firelight mystic: (hold on.)
not8mihalis8boy: (Get MSN IM by next session.)
firelight mystic: (I'll try. MY computer won't take it for some reason...I always have problems
downloading.)
not8mihalis8boy: (hrm...I'll download it later and mail it)
firelight mystic: (okay)
WuseMajor has entered the room.
WuseMajor: (sorry what did i miss?)
firelight mystic: (nothing much)
not8mihalis8boy: (We're gonna try to pull all further sessions in MSN IM)
WuseMajor: (ok)
firelight mystic: (I'm working on it.)
WuseMajor: (i do prefer the colors and fonts that we can do with this though)
not8mihalis8boy: (You can do them with MSN IM, too)
not8mihalis8boy: (And it doesn't crash like that
not8mihalis8boy: )
firelight mystic: (and it didn't work again....)
WuseMajor: (you can?)
not8mihalis8boy: (Yep)
firelight mystic: (I can't....)
firelight mystic: (dangit...)
not8mihalis8boy: (I told you. We'll work on it later)
not8mihalis8boy: (Do you guys want to quit now, or game?)
firelight mystic: (I'm up for whatever.)
WuseMajor: (i'm ok)
WuseMajor: (my eyes are starting to get a little tired though...)
not8mihalis8boy: (Is that a yes, let's halt?)
not8mihalis8boy: (Damn)
WuseMajor: (i'm still up for it)
not8mihalis8boy: (okay, good)
firelight mystic: (Mike, what do you know about Ernst Udet's suicide note?)
firelight mystic: (then let's get rolling.)
not8mihalis8boy: not8mihalis8boy: "Good....evening."not8mihalis8boy: "Now, I have
gathered everything you requested. What do you want to do first?"firelight mystic:
*looks to Alli.*
not8mihalis8boy: not8mihalis8boy: "Access to the library, while you send a minion
to Prospero publishing to retrieve some information."
not8mihalis8boy: (well?)
firelight mystic: (I was waiting for the Prince's response.)
firelight mystic: (Then, I was going to try and take a quick shower to relieve some tension...)
WuseMajor: (Ernst Udet's note?)
WuseMajor: (and when did the prince come in?)
not8mihalis8boy: (He was the one who knocked)
not8mihalis8boy: (him and his two psychotic lesbian bunny-girls)
firelight mystic: (ugh...)
WuseMajor: (i'm not sure if i have that)
not8mihalis8boy: "What do you need from Prospero?"
WuseMajor: (will you post thse on your site?)
WuseMajor: (it didn
not8mihalis8boy: "We need to know everything about Jackson Elias' latest project"
WuseMajor: ''t really work when you tried to e-mail it to me.)
WuseMajor: (are they actually bunny girls?)
not8mihalis8boy: (Yes. I'm posting ALL of the transcripts tonight or tomorrow, by
specific request from my mailing list)
WuseMajor: "and there are a few things i need to look up."
not8mihalis8boy: (Sort of....they're vaguely disturbing, and REMIND you of bunnies)
not8mihalis8boy: (Evil, psychotic bunnies)
WuseMajor: (wierd)
firelight mystic: (ugh.)
WuseMajor: (why because they are cute, cuddly and evil?)
not8mihalis8boy: "Someone's trying to summon a real nasty into town, and we intend
to stop them. Remember last night's storm? That was only the beginning. We want to
save New York from Mexico City's fate."
not8mihalis8boy: (Because they're low-humanity Gangrel with a rabbit-attunement)
not8mihalis8boy: (putting links in the GAME TRANSCRIPT!!!)
WuseMajor: (sorry)
not8mihalis8boy: (now, back to the game(
firelight mystic: (okay)
WuseMajor: (won't happen again)
not8mihalis8boy: (okay....it's just that I don't plan on editing these)
firelight mystic: (I'm going to have Traci stay silent for a bit. She's still stressed, you know...)
firelight mystic: (But she's paying attention...)
not8mihalis8boy: "I see. That was the 'minor problem' you alluded to."
not8mihalis8boy: "Of course. Nothing we haven't handled before."
not8mihalis8boy: Prince: "Very well. Follow Uma and Uni. I will make arrangements."
firelight mystic: (did we even get a chance to change out of our sleep clothes, etc...)
not8mihalis8boy: (no)
firelight mystic: (think they'd wait a few minutes?)
not8mihalis8boy: And that's when you realize that Allison is stark-raving naked, Wu is
wearing a long "Nerds do it with Science!" shirt, and you're wearing silk pajamas.
firelight mystic: "Ummm....can we change into clothing first?"
WuseMajor: (she has been nude all this time and no one noticed?)
not8mihalis8boy: Prince: <smile> "If you wish."
firelight mystic: Thank you.
not8mihalis8boy: (Yes. It's Cartoon syndrome)
WuseMajor: (ah)
not8mihalis8boy: (That, and a hell of a lot has been going on)
WuseMajor: (point)
not8mihalis8boy: Allison saunters back to her room, unashamed
firelight mystic: (true...)
firelight mystic: I walk back towards my room
WuseMajor: (and i don't think any of our characters have lesbian inclanations anyway...)
not8mihalis8boy: She returns a few minutes later wearing big black jean cargo pants, and
a silver mesh shirt covered in black dragons, with an obvious black tank-top underneath
WuseMajor: i go back into mine
not8mihalis8boy: Some of the pockets are bulging
not8mihalis8boy: (well....Allison, maybe, but that doesn't matter....and she's MOSTLY
straight...)
firelight mystic: Traci returns wearing a white silk blouse and crushed red velvet pants (ala
Morrigan from Darkstalkers...) and carrying her purse
not8mihalis8boy: Allison looks at you with one raised eyebrow, but thankfully doesn't
comment
firelight mystic: (What?!?!)
firelight mystic: (they were a dark red)
firelight mystic: (wait sec....how is she looking at me?)
firelight mystic: (negative, or positive?)
WuseMajor: i return a fewminutes later wearing a lab coat, shorts, tights, and a t-shirt
WuseMajor: the lab coat has buging pockets as well
not8mihalis8boy: Whereupon that person spontaneously combusts.
not8mihalis8boy: The other one screams, and goes over to her sister
not8mihalis8boy: Then takes one look at Allison grinning, and flees.
firelight mystic: "Alli....I don't think that was the wiset thing you've done..."
WuseMajor: "me ether."
not8mihalis8boy: "Maybe. But you know what?"
firelight mystic: "What?"
not8mihalis8boy: "People BELIEVE in spontaneous combustion."
not8mihalis8boy: "And frankly, I don't give a shit about this Prince dude."
WuseMajor: "yeah..."
not8mihalis8boy: "Did anyone OTHER than me think to bring the body armor?"
firelight mystic: "Ummm........no."
not8mihalis8boy: With that, she unzips a pocket and pulls out a black, armored
bodysuit
WuseMajor: (be honest or tactical?)
not8mihalis8boy: (honest)
not8mihalis8boy: she strips, puts it on, and then puts on the pants again
not8mihalis8boy: "Cool pants."
WuseMajor: "i didn't think we were going to be leaving so soon."
not8mihalis8boy: "Anyway, I wouldn't worry. He needs us. And we DON'T need him
anymore."
WuseMajor: "why not?"
not8mihalis8boy: "If he complains, I'll roast him, too."
not8mihalis8boy: "Because. We're somewhere safe."
WuseMajor: "because we know were the library is?"
firelight mystic: "Really? Isn't this his domain, though?"
WuseMajor: "ok. i'll take your word for it."
firelight mystic: "I mean, his house, his rules..."
not8mihalis8boy: "We're safe because we're not dead on our feet in the middle of
Harlem."
WuseMajor: "ah"
WuseMajor: "point"
firelight mystic: "and when he gets pissed about how you torched his his psycho bunny?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Think. Look at this library. If we do magic here, or hide out here, the
Technocracy ISN'T gonna come looking for us."
WuseMajor: "we are merly well rested in the home of a vampire prince."
firelight mystic: "Of course, you're missing the point. He's going to be pissed you flamed one
of his chicks, I think."
WuseMajor: (we hope...)
not8mihalis8boy: "We could take this place over, if necessary, and the Mirroshades
would never know. Either it's warded, or they ignore the regular magical spikes."
firelight mystic: "A vampire prince?"
firelight mystic: "You'll fight a vampire prince?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Wait. Vampire?"
firelight mystic: "You haven't noticed?"
not8mihalis8boy: (Who knows he's a vampire? Raise your hand? NOBODY, in character,
except Wu)
firelight mystic: (Wait...what about occult knowledge?)
WuseMajor: (i do)
WuseMajor: (i thought i had mentioned it)
not8mihalis8boy: (nope....that's Occult. This is Lore)
WuseMajor: (i really thoght she knew)
not8mihalis8boy: (You did. But no-one reacted at the time, so they didn't notice it)
not8mihalis8boy: (Only Wu knows)
firelight mystic: (And she didn't say so?)
not8mihalis8boy: (She just did. But you didn't go WHAT??? So you didn't notice)
WuseMajor: (alli really acted like she knew that this guy was different...)
not8mihalis8boy: So, to recap
not8mihalis8boy: not8mihalis8boy: "We could take this place over, if necessary, and
the Mirroshades would never know. Either it's warded, or they ignore the regular
magical spikes."
not8mihalis8boy: (She knows. She just doesn't know WHAT)
firelight mystic: (I was pointing out that when I said "what you didn't notice"
WuseMajor: "and you are going to fry the prince's entire organization?
You have just entered room "Ninja Doom."
not8mihalis8boy: (didI miss anything?)
firelight mystic: "Nope."
WuseMajor: "well if you can create real sunlight that should do it, i hope."
not8mihalis8boy: "Sunlight?"
firelight mystic: "Only unless you Alli can...I'm stuck out at the moment."
not8mihalis8boy: "Anyway, I get the feeling he deals with petty squabbling all the time"
WuseMajor: "yeah, it should work pretty well against these guys."
not8mihalis8boy: "We'll deal with that in the moment. That's why we're in the library.
I'm gonna give you a crash course on basic magic."
not8mihalis8boy: "Why?
not8mihalis8boy: Wait...."
not8mihalis8boy: "Wu.....are you saying what I think you're saying?"
WuseMajor: "vampires mtend to die in the sun."
WuseMajor: "what you couldn't tell?"
firelight mystic: "And now she notices..."
not8mihalis8boy: "Oh. That's what I thought you were saying."
firelight mystic: "You're taking this remarkably well...."
WuseMajor: "i'm sure i mentioned it yesterday..."
You have just entered room "Ninja Doom."
not8mihalis8boy: (AGAIN, ALICIA, YOU DON'T KNOW. I'M NOT GOING TO
WARN YOU AGAIN)
WuseMajor: "i think so."
not8mihalis8boy: (this is getting annoying)
WuseMajor: "i don't know that much about them really."
not8mihalis8boy: (This is the last time, Alicia)
not8mihalis8boy: Hang on
firelight mystic: (I heard. I got cut off before I could finish. And I did know. I was paying
attention.)
not8mihalis8boy: We have to back up because Alicia was OOC again
firelight mystic: (no i wasn't)
not8mihalis8boy: (Oh? How did you know they were vampires?)
WuseMajor: (i said prince and i said vampire what was the prob?)
firelight mystic: (Mike mentioned it already, and he mentioned it before, last session.)
not8mihalis8boy: (The problem is that you're the only thing who knows that the two
of those are related, and when you said vampire no-one noticed)
not8mihalis8boy: (lemme check the session notes)
not8mihalis8boy: (EVERY mention of vampires last session was OOC. I just did a search
of the transcript)
WuseMajor: (i said this earlyer "we are merly well rested in the home of a vampire prince.")
not8mihalis8boy: (yes, and when you did, no-one paid any attention)
WuseMajor: (ok)
not8mihalis8boy: (Now, are we gonna game, or do I need to give a lecture about
roleplaying and out of game information?)
firelight mystic: (let's just move on already...)
WuseMajor: (so we take it from "Oh. That's what I thought you were saying."?)
not8mihalis8boy: (nope. Just before that)
not8mihalis8boy: not8mihalis8boy: "Wu.....are you saying what I think you're
saying?"WuseMajor: "vampires mtend to die in the sun."WuseMajor: "what you couldn't
tell?"
not8mihalis8boy: not8mihalis8boy: "Oh. That's what I thought you were saying."
WuseMajor: (ok)
not8mihalis8boy: (and....ACTION!)
firelight mystic: (okay)
not8mihalis8boy: (I'm cutting Alicia's line in between)
firelight mystic: (fine.)
firelight mystic: (So, at this point, I'm just catching on?)
not8mihalis8boy: (yes.)
WuseMajor: "since you didn't realize that we are helping a group of vamps i'm also guessing
that you didn't know that the head guy here is one of the princes waring for control over this
town?"
firelight mystic: Vampires? VAMPIRES?!?
not8mihalis8boy: (sorry to be a bitch, but this is something you need to learn, and an
important plot point)
WuseMajor: "yes vampires.
not8mihalis8boy: "Um....that last I sort of figured. I thought he was an Arabian Prince."
WuseMajor: "
not8mihalis8boy: "Oh, dear."
firelight mystic: We're working for vampires, and you just wasted one of his minions...?!?!?
not8mihalis8boy: "I think we'd better leave....wait."
firelight mystic: "We're all gonna die..."
not8mihalis8boy: "Wu, you can transport one thing at a time, right?"
WuseMajor: "so how fast can i learn enough Science! to get us to the moon..."
firelight mystic: "A vampire chick copped a feel off of me?!?! i feel so violated...."
WuseMajor: (david i can only transpoort myself right?)
not8mihalis8boy: "Hrm...I was thinking more along the lines of can you define the
library as one thing in the spell-definition matrix?"
not8mihalis8boy: (Actually, I checked. You can transport any one thing)
firelight mystic: *blink*
firelight mystic: "spell-definition matrix?"
not8mihalis8boy: (But there's an implicit understanding that it's smaller than you)
WuseMajor: "i'm not sure my grav anomoly can handle it but i will try..."
not8mihalis8boy: "It's technical."
not8mihalis8boy: "Don't go breaking things. What kind of backlash are we looking at if
you fail?"
WuseMajor: "i think it yould help if i had DNA codes for any one traveling along..."
not8mihalis8boy: (Michael, recognize Telemain?)
not8mihalis8boy: "I want to take the Library."
not8mihalis8boy: "Can you handle it? I think we'd better hurry."
WuseMajor: "well i think the coding could take a while..."
not8mihalis8boy: "Shit. Okay. Something simpler."
WuseMajor: (untill you mentioned it no)
not8mihalis8boy: "Damn, damn, damn. I need to incorporate a spell into a
technomatrix."
WuseMajor: "at the moment i think you need some science skills and i need some occult..."
firelight mystic: "Occult? What about occult? What do you need to know?"
not8mihalis8boy: "I want to tie that immolation spell I just did into a seek and destroy
search function on your computer, twigged to vampires. I've got Prime, and we can
both channel. Wanna try it?"
WuseMajor: "ok lets try."
not8mihalis8boy: Turns to Traci: "We need to combine magic, but our systems are
fundamentally incompatible. We're gonna...uh....hotwire it."
firelight mystic: "Goddess..."
WuseMajor: (unforunatly i don't know that to affect a vamp you need life and matter...)
not8mihalis8boy: "We don't have the resources for me to transform my paradigm into
yours, so we're gonna need you to write a program in occult with my help, and use
Prime to cobble them together with a universal adapter matrix."
firelight mystic: (It would be a lot easier to just skip out into the Umbra, and bail...)
firelight mystic: (both of which I have...)
not8mihalis8boy: (Only you can do that)
firelight mystic: (I should know that--I have occult...)
not8mihalis8boy: (And they don't have time to teach you...wait!)
not8mihalis8boy: "Traci? Lock the door."
firelight mystic: *locks door*
not8mihalis8boy: "Then come over here. You're about to get a crash course in Hermetic
magic."
firelight mystic: "Okay."
not8mihalis8boy: "That okay with you?"
firelight mystic: "No prob. I had a though cross my mind.
WuseMajor: "something just occured to me..."
firelight mystic: "if we could slip into the Umbra, we'd be home free..."
not8mihalis8boy: "Wu, do you have a program capable of writing Hermetic characters?"
not8mihalis8boy: "What?"
not8mihalis8boy: Aside to Traci: "Sweetie, do you know Spirit?"
firelight mystic: "Yes."
firelight mystic: "Known it since I've first Awakened..."
WuseMajor: "My spaital analizers can easly find my DNA sample."
not8mihalis8boy: "I think we're gonna need to channel through you, using our
soul-matrix as a filter. Could be painful, but it'll teach you Hermetic magic REAL
quick."
firelight mystic: "Oh dear....not much choice, huh. Go for it."
WuseMajor: "so i might be able to figure out how to move us and come back for the books
later...
not8mihalis8boy: "What about doing a search for Vampiric chemical composition,
rather than bio-fields?
WuseMajor: "that might work..."
not8mihalis8boy: "Yeah, but...."
firelight mystic: "Chemical compositon? WOuldn't that include life and matter?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Not if you search for inorganic compounds. Hell, I don't know. Wu,
CAN you search for organic compounds?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Otherwise, searching for Calcium ought to do the trick."
not8mihalis8boy: "Just exclude us."
not8mihalis8boy: Then...hmmm
WuseMajor: (look vamps are dead that counts as matter but the blood they gain poerfrom is
alive that means they are like cyborgs both matter and life are rquired)
not8mihalis8boy: Traci, step asice
firelight mystic: Okay....
not8mihalis8boy: (to AFFECT them, yes. To FIND them, you only need one)
WuseMajor: "i can do orgainc compounds but not living cells."
not8mihalis8boy: <starts drawing a BIG pentagram in chalk>
firelight mystic: *steps further aside.*
not8mihalis8boy: "Search for Calcium, then. Should only be found in bones anyway."
not8mihalis8boy: You hear a pounding at the door.
firelight mystic: shit....
not8mihalis8boy: Wu? Can you reinforce that barrier?
not8mihalis8boy: ""
WuseMajor: "unless you have seen a vamp with a milk mustach..."
WuseMajor: (wooden dor?)
not8mihalis8boy: (stone, actually)
not8mihalis8boy: (sorry....stone WALLS)
not8mihalis8boy: (thick wood door banded in iron)
firelight mystic: (Can i try and reinforce it through sheer will?)
firelight mystic: (even though I lack foci...)
not8mihalis8boy: (With a VERY high-tech keypad lock)
not8mihalis8boy: (no....you don't have Matter anyway)
not8mihalis8boy: You hear splintering
WuseMajor: "we could bust the keypad."
firelight mystic: (point...)
not8mihalis8boy: "Wu? NOW, please. I don't think they're USING the keypad."
WuseMajor: (ok need to convert wood to iron)
not8mihalis8boy: (especially since Traci 'locked' it)
not8mihalis8boy: (Wu? You have in Int of 4 and Vampire lore)
not8mihalis8boy: (Roll.....diff.....8)
WuseMajor: (5 dice right?)
not8mihalis8boy: (I.e. I'm assuming Traci looked at it, couldn't figure it out, and
smashed it)
not8mihalis8boy: (Yes)
WuseMajor: (2 sucesses)
firelight mystic: (hey!)
not8mihalis8boy: (couldn't figure out how to LOCK it)
firelight mystic: (wow...says a lot for my intelligence there....)
not8mihalis8boy: (Inspiration: Door is wood. And splintering. What does wood do to
Vampires?)
firelight mystic: (KILL!)
not8mihalis8boy: (You CAN'T lock it)
WuseMajor: (you are a verbena...)
not8mihalis8boy: (They know the combination)
firelight mystic: (could I do magic by sheer force of will?)
not8mihalis8boy: (not yet)
firelight mystic: (what level is that?)
not8mihalis8boy: (You're about to learn Hermetic magic)
firelight mystic: (the hard way)
WuseMajor: "um don't wooden stakes kill vamps..."
not8mihalis8boy: (hang on)
not8mihalis8boy: "What?"
not8mihalis8boy: (that was OOC, Mike....and they DO paralyze them.)
not8mihalis8boy: (Sorry...not OOC)
WuseMajor: "can you explode that door in a shower of wood chips?"
not8mihalis8boy: (They don't kill them)
not8mihalis8boy: "Yeah....but you'd be more accurate."
WuseMajor: "...paralise..."
not8mihalis8boy: "Almost done"
WuseMajor: "ok"
not8mihalis8boy: A fist comes through the a gaping hole
not8mihalis8boy: -crack!-
firelight mystic: "Umm...guys..."
not8mihalis8boy: -splinter-
not8mihalis8boy: "Traci, did you bring your gun?"
WuseMajor: i sit down and start finding coordnates...
not8mihalis8boy: (I suggest you spend Quintessence)
WuseMajor: (how much will can i spend?)
not8mihalis8boy: "Shoot anything that comes through the door."
not8mihalis8boy: (only 1)
firelight mystic: "Gotcha."
firelight mystic: (diff what?)
WuseMajor: (spend i quin, and one will)
not8mihalis8boy: (That'll get you 6 successes if you make all the dice and spend a will)
not8mihalis8boy: (Hint: ask them for Quintessence)
not8mihalis8boy: (Only Alli has the Prime to transfer, but she can)
WuseMajor: (i only have avatar one)
firelight mystic: (and I can only shoot..)
WuseMajor: "guyes i need a rush of some juice..."
not8mihalis8boy: (You'll have to spend it immediately, but if you channel it into a
spell....)
not8mihalis8boy: "Right. Here."
WuseMajor: (ok)
not8mihalis8boy: (hang on)
not8mihalis8boy: You get 5 Quintessence
not8mihalis8boy: "There."
WuseMajor: (spend it)
WuseMajor: (plus my one)
not8mihalis8boy: (That drops difficulty to 2)
not8mihalis8boy: (4 dice, plus fortune die, plus 1)
WuseMajor: (ok)
WuseMajor: (6 successes)
not8mihalis8boy: "I'm about halfway through. I don't know the symbol for Vampire,
though. I'm gonna have to finish it when I tie it into your program."
WuseMajor: (fourtion die was 4)
not8mihalis8boy: The door explodes, and there are 6 people lying clutching foot long
pieces of wood
not8mihalis8boy: Not moving
not8mihalis8boy: <looks up>
not8mihalis8boy: "Wow."
not8mihalis8boy: "Can you make a new door?"
WuseMajor: "i love Grav anomalies."
firelight mystic: "Nice..."
WuseMajor: "not unless you can read my code for an item and make it real."
not8mihalis8boy: (BTW, as a motivator: this place has Library 5, a small Node, and
Arcane 5)
firelight mystic: (good enough motivation for me...)
not8mihalis8boy: "What? Oh, right. Primal force. Hmm. Just close the gap between the
walls."
WuseMajor: "i can set up the subatomic structure, atomic structure, and molecular sturcture,
but i cand get the dark matter to go into it..."
firelight mystic: "Dark matter?"
WuseMajor: "ah that i might be able to do..."
not8mihalis8boy: "Primal force, I think, Traci."
WuseMajor: "some of the early sceintists called it ether when they discovered it."
firelight mystic: "Whatever that is. You know, i'm to have to get you two to teach me these
wonderful new terms you're so fond of...."
not8mihalis8boy: "And when you're done, set up that Seek and Destroy
program....quickly! We're not gonna have time to do a proper cross-matrix, so we're
gonna have to jack it in as an open paramater."
WuseMajor: "but now we have it generally accepted>"
not8mihalis8boy: "Don't worry. We'll teach you."
WuseMajor: "ok just let me close thatr gap."
firelight mystic: "I feel so loved..."
not8mihalis8boy: "Hmmm....Traci, you have Spirit and Life, right?"
firelight mystic: "yes."
WuseMajor: (matter 3 no witnesses)
not8mihalis8boy: "Enough to Tag yourself and someone else?"
firelight mystic: Tag?
not8mihalis8boy: (oh, yeah....I forgot about no witnesses...the last one was 7....so you
have 1 Quintessence)
not8mihalis8boy: (And this is 7, too)
WuseMajor: (i'm spending a point of will)
firelight mystic: "What do you mean by Tag?"
WuseMajor: (and the quin what the heck.)
not8mihalis8boy: "Can you...hmm....Can you filter my spell through yourself as a sort
of universal adapter, if I supply the Prime, and plug one end into the spell, and the
other end into Wu's program?"
not8mihalis8boy: "I know you don't know how, but the spell and our soul-link will
provide the motivational energy if you have the knowledge."
WuseMajor: (2success)
WuseMajor: (1 on the fortion die)
firelight mystic: "I'm not sure, but I'll try..."
not8mihalis8boy: (oh, dear)
WuseMajor: (i know)
firelight mystic: "I think I do, though..."
not8mihalis8boy: (I'm gonna be nice, and make you pay for it later)
firelight mystic: (this is gonna be intersting, to say the least....)
not8mihalis8boy: The gap closes, and the walls suddenly start glowing in blue runes in
an angular script
WuseMajor: ( david you do know that fate has a sense of dramatic irony and
appropreateness)
not8mihalis8boy: <looks up>
not8mihalis8boy: (yes)
not8mihalis8boy: "Wu, what did you do? That looks like the most bizarre warding I've
ever seen."
WuseMajor: (or in otherwords if dealing with this now would kill us put it off and make it
bigger)
not8mihalis8boy: Wu...your computer just crashed.
not8mihalis8boy: Blue screen of death
not8mihalis8boy: So you don't THINK you did this
WuseMajor: my link or my whole thing?
firelight mystic: (Wow...pretty colors....)
not8mihalis8boy: Unless this is the celestial version of an invalid page fault
not8mihalis8boy: Windows Tri crashed
not8mihalis8boy: The OS
not8mihalis8boy: Reboot
firelight mystic: "Does this classify as an "oh shit"?
not8mihalis8boy: Probably
WuseMajor: and how long will that take to fix?
firelight mystic: "oh shit."
not8mihalis8boy: Just reboot
WuseMajor: i reboot
not8mihalis8boy: "Uh...yes...I don't recognize some of these symbols."
WuseMajor: <please let this work please let this work....>
not8mihalis8boy: Your computer is now running Windows 2000
not8mihalis8boy: Login:
not8mihalis8boy: Password:
not8mihalis8boy: (the most dreaded words in all of existence)
firelight mystic: (cool....I like Windows 2000)
WuseMajor: "how did this ...virus... get on my comp!":
not8mihalis8boy: <looks down>
firelight mystic: ( It always works fine for me.)
WuseMajor: i put in the appropreate ones for my comp
not8mihalis8boy: (that's because you are not l33t)
not8mihalis8boy: It fails
firelight mystic: (Smiles and accepts wad of twenties a mysterious figure hands me..)
not8mihalis8boy: "What the fuck?!! My spell is resonating with the warding....and the
resonance is building."
not8mihalis8boy: (hehehe)
WuseMajor: (ok time for some hacking rolls...)
not8mihalis8boy: "Um....Wu, Traci? I think we need to leave. And I think we're stuck."
firelight mystic: "Screw that. You said you could teach me magic fast. How fast?"
firelight mystic: "I can try and opena portal to the umbra.
not8mihalis8boy: (actually, you CAN'T hack 2000. That's the problem. Not if they've
renamed Administrator and changed the password)
WuseMajor: "you mean you think i did too god a job and it's going to go critical soon?"
WuseMajor: good
firelight mystic: (With top of the line security features! Hacker proof! *accepts another wad of
twenties...)
WuseMajor: "technically a ward in this space/time continum shouldn't have any afffect on a
dimentional gate
WuseMajor: ."
not8mihalis8boy: "Well....to answer Traci, we could jury-rig a mind link, but none of us
have that, so it would have to be a Soul-Prime link...and that only works because of
the cross-matrix resonance. To answer Wu...I don't think you did this.
not8mihalis8boy: "I recognize all 9 symbols in the warding....and a 10th"
firelight mystic: "what are they?"
WuseMajor: "well whatever happened i can't undo it."
not8mihalis8boy: "I don't recognize the 10th."
firelight mystic: "What are the other nine?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Umm....I think it's a warding utilizing all 9 spheres. And it's
resonating the massive immolation spell I just finished."
WuseMajor: "are you saying that thoses are the hermetic symbols for the magics you use?"
not8mihalis8boy: "And there's a 10th, unrecognizable symbol."
WuseMajor: "oh shi.........."
firelight mystic: "Goddess..."
WuseMajor: "we are going to die."
firelight mystic: "I knew it."
not8mihalis8boy: "No. There're designations for the 9 spheres. But the angular script is
something I can't read."
not8mihalis8boy: "Not if we can pick apart my Immolation spell."
WuseMajor: (i can't belive that this happened when i succeded...)
not8mihalis8boy: "Which I CAN do"
WuseMajor: "whew"
firelight mystic: (Next time, fail.)
firelight mystic: "Pick away...."
not8mihalis8boy: (This is a combination of trying to get safe, and succeeding, but not
succeeding ENOUGH, and getting a 1 on the fortune die)
not8mihalis8boy: "Umm....just one thing. It might make the warding unstable."
firelight mystic: (DOH!)
firelight mystic: Unstable?
firelight mystic: As in, backfiring on us unstable?
You have just entered room "Ninja Doom."
not8mihalis8boy: <sounding stressed> "I don't KNOW. I can't read the spell! I just
recognize the spere tags!"
WuseMajor: firelight mystic "We all die."
firelight mystic: (I hate being psychic....)
You have just entered room "Ninja Doom."
not8mihalis8boy: (this is pissing me off)
WuseMajor: "anyone have someone they can call for help?"
not8mihalis8boy: (what did I miss?)
WuseMajor: "can't you go into meditation to figure out that language?"
WuseMajor: (nothing)
not8mihalis8boy: "Call? How? We're in a warding that blocks EVERYTHING."
not8mihalis8boy: "Wait! You're right!"
firelight mystic: (did you get my desperation question, David?)
not8mihalis8boy: (no)
not8mihalis8boy: "Traci, come here. Time to learn magic."
firelight mystic: "Okay."
WuseMajor: "do you need my?"
WuseMajor: me
not8mihalis8boy: "No. Traci, concentrate on our Avatar, and the wellspring of your
soul....the water you filled it with."
not8mihalis8boy: She locks hands with Traci, and meditates
WuseMajor: "i'm going to try some basic passwords and try to get in."
firelight mystic: *does same*
not8mihalis8boy: (note on game mechanics....Alli is using Past Life, but pulling it
THROUGH Traci, and she's going to channel magical knowledge....this will,
hopefully, leave behind a residue on Traci, since she'll be in the link without being
not8mihalis8boy: possessed)
not8mihalis8boy: (lemme roll)
firelight mystic: (wait--if we both have past life....)
not8mihalis8boy: (you do, don't you
firelight mystic: (yes)
not8mihalis8boy: Are you gonna do the same to Alli?
firelight mystic: (you bet)
not8mihalis8boy: Wu?
not8mihalis8boy: You feel nauseous
not8mihalis8boy: And you feel something tugging you from inside
WuseMajor: (my password on the other hand is probably the ten digits of pi that are around
the thousanth decimal place...)
not8mihalis8boy: (hint....use Past Life)
WuseMajor: (you man dream?)
not8mihalis8boy: (yes)
WuseMajor: (mean)
not8mihalis8boy: (_I_ will roll)
WuseMajor: (ok i will try to concentraite...)
not8mihalis8boy: (anyone spending Will?)
WuseMajor: (think of my old memories...)
firelight mystic: (what do I need to roll?)
WuseMajor: (i will)
not8mihalis8boy: (I'll roll)
not8mihalis8boy: Wu, you start to concentrate on that tugging, and get sucked in
WuseMajor: (i'm spending will)
not8mihalis8boy: (Alicia? spending will?)
firelight mystic: (yup)
WuseMajor: (so far i haven't failed so i haven't lost will...)
WuseMajor: (self-confidant is so handy!)
not8mihalis8boy: (yep)
WuseMajor: (i hope somthing good happens...)
firelight mystic: (all of us do)
not8mihalis8boy: You could say that
WuseMajor: (i like my character...)
not8mihalis8boy: Traci and Alli got 5 successes each, and Wu got 4
not8mihalis8boy: (Traci, you're down to 1 Will, though)
WuseMajor: (oy)
firelight mystic: (damn)
firelight mystic: (I knew I shouldn't have done it....)
WuseMajor: (when our personalitys start belending a bit you could make a case for buying
self-confidant too...)
not8mihalis8boy: Translation: EVERYBODY just channeled 14 dice of magical
knowledge, 9 of which is PERMANENT (10 for Wu), and you forged a soul-link
with Wu
not8mihalis8boy: Traci, you can pick any Tradition, past or present, though I HIGHLY
recommend Hermetic, or maybe SoE
firelight mystic: (cool....)
WuseMajor: (so what kind is that spheres, foci skills, arete, what?)
not8mihalis8boy: This is foci skills
not8mihalis8boy: Place the permanent dice how you wish, at a max of +5 in any one
stat, and you can't raise your own foci skill
WuseMajor: (eh?)
not8mihalis8boy: (Foci skills: the skills related to you foci, like Computer and Tech, or
Occult and Demon Lore)
firelight mystic: (Hermetic. Carry on the family tradition...)
not8mihalis8boy: in any one SKILL, not stat
WuseMajor: (and i can't raise tech, sci, or comp?)
not8mihalis8boy: Right
WuseMajor: (but i can get occult 5)
firelight mystic: (so, what do I do now?)
firelight mystic: (nevermind...)
WuseMajor: (so what skills can i get?)
You have just entered room "Ninja Doom."
firelight mystic: (he's back on-line. probably pissed....)
WuseMajor: (could i get Do or is it just limited to the trads in this room?)
not8mihalis8boy: (THIS IS PISSING ME OFF)
WuseMajor: (so what skills can i get?)
not8mihalis8boy: hang on
not8mihalis8boy: Where do I download AIM?
WuseMajor: dunno
firelight mystic: (www.aol.com)
not8mihalis8boy: Anyway, if you buy all the foci skills of someone else in the soul link,
you can cast conjunctional magic with them at an effective Arete equal to the
lowest of said skills
not8mihalis8boy: Tell me what Tradition you want, and I'll tell you what they are
WuseMajor: (what are everone elses foci skills?)
WuseMajor: (mine are science, tech, and comp)
not8mihalis8boy: You only have two
WuseMajor: (ok science and tech then)
not8mihalis8boy: most SoE have Science! and Tech
not8mihalis8boy: VAs have Computer and Tech
firelight mystic: (I want Order of Hermes)
not8mihalis8boy: Hermetics have Occult and some kind of Lore
not8mihalis8boy: Demon Lore, for Traci
not8mihalis8boy: Alicia, what kind of Hermetic are you gonna be?
WuseMajor: (some of them might have math...)
firelight mystic: I'm deciding on that....
You have just entered room "Ninja Doom."
not8mihalis8boy: (FUCK!!!)
not8mihalis8boy: Cultists usually have two of Athletics, Performance, and Chemistry
WuseMajor: (well that exausted my knowedge on the houses of hearmies)
not8mihalis8boy: (what did I miss)
not8mihalis8boy: Performance and Religion for Choristers
WuseMajor: firelight mystic (I was thought about flambeau, decided against it. Thig's
too....techie....)
firelight mystic: (ex miscellania is too disorganized....tremere's in disgrace and suspicion.)
not8mihalis8boy: (Go for Flambeau. Alli's Flambeau. Sort of.)
firelight mystic: (Great.....turn Traci into Terri....)
WuseMajor: (tremere are all vamps)
WuseMajor: (are you sure you want to do that david?)
not8mihalis8boy: (heh)
firelight mystic: (hence the disgrace and suspicion...)
WuseMajor: (you can't have a vamp Mage)
firelight mystic: (don't want one either....)
not8mihalis8boy: (Besides, I'm fixing the fact that Teri and Traci are identical.....)
WuseMajor: (uh-oh)
firelight mystic: (How so?!?!)
not8mihalis8boy: hehehe
WuseMajor: (well there are two ways to do it...)
not8mihalis8boy: (I will fulfill all your requirements, Alicia)
WuseMajor: (1. change Teri
WuseMajor: (2. Change Traci)
firelight mystic: (I was aiming to change Traci, actually. Fulfill my requirements?)
WuseMajor: (my guess is that he is going to change teri into a nephandus...)
not8mihalis8boy: (about returning her alive and such)
not8mihalis8boy: (What were the other requirements?)
firelight mystic: (No........she was not going Nephandus....)
firelight mystic: (and that she not be screwed up permanently from this....)
WuseMajor: (yes but she is fighting a powerful one...)
firelight mystic: (and usually wins. He just won't stay *dead*....)
not8mihalis8boy: (I think it was that I didn't hand her BACK as Nephandus, and that
she not be screwed up too BADLY)
WuseMajor: (well 2 to of 3 isn't bad is it?)
not8mihalis8boy: (You said okay to insanity, remember?)
firelight mystic: (Goddesss....what are you up to?)
not8mihalis8boy: Anyway, back to game?
firelight mystic: (She is not going to become Harly!)
not8mihalis8boy: (She is not going to become Harly)
firelight mystic: (back to game)
not8mihalis8boy: The point is, you all get soul-forged, and are suddenly looking at that
ward with a LOT of knowledge
not8mihalis8boy: And you know what the spell is
firelight mystic: (wow....)
firelight mystic: (what *is* the spell?)
WuseMajor: (what about ackashics?)
WuseMajor: (DO!)
not8mihalis8boy: (Meditation and Do, but Do is unavailable. The Akashics managed to
lock the Akashic record out of Past Life)
WuseMajor: (ah yes)
WuseMajor: (drat)
firelight mystic: (nice move...)
not8mihalis8boy: As for the spell....You're in a Paradox Realm
WuseMajor: ohhhhh
not8mihalis8boy: You don't know what the 10th symbol is, but you can GUESS it's
Paradox
not8mihalis8boy: Allison takes one look at the wall, and goes "Shit."
WuseMajor: (well those you generally need to think your way out of)
WuseMajor: "shit"
firelight mystic: "I knew it...shit..."
not8mihalis8boy: "Oh, crap. I now see how the spell ties in."
WuseMajor: (hey can i put dots in the VA skills?)
WuseMajor: "it is going to blow the realm, isn't it?"
not8mihalis8boy: "If I unravel it, it will dump us back in the vampire's place...defenseless.
If I don't, we die in about an hour."
not8mihalis8boy: "We need to unravel the ward, and THEN the spell, and transport"
WuseMajor: "and how do we do that?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Very carefully?"
not8mihalis8boy: "It's never been done before, I think."
firelight mystic: "Well, there's a first time for everything."
WuseMajor: (people have escaped realms before, david)
not8mihalis8boy: (Yeah, but not by unraveling the Paradox)
WuseMajor: (true)
not8mihalis8boy: "Or we could just unravel my spell, and the ward will collapse,
dropping us back into real space-time."
firelight mystic: "And then what? Face the vampires?"
