A drop of sanity in an ocean of madness

[23:43] <ailurAlliance> ailurAlliance began pestering chaturangaCaller
[23:44] <ailurAlliance> AA: Hey, I need someone to talk to right now.
[23:44] <ailurAlliance> AA: Are you there?
[23:44] <chaturangaCaller> * about a minute later *
[23:44] <chaturangaCaller> CC: oh! yes! hi!
[23:44] <chaturangaCaller> CC: go for it!
[23:45] <ailurAlliance> AA: So, stuff went down with the trolls, and it's a bit overwhelming.
[23:45] <ailurAlliance> AA: I talked to one more.
[23:45] <ailurAlliance> AA: Jydbec or something.
[23:45] <chaturangaCaller> ((real life)) "please let this not be another conversation about - fuck"
[23:45] <chaturangaCaller> CC: haha! yep!
[23:46] <chaturangaCaller> CC: i met her too!
[23:46] <chaturangaCaller> CC: um!
[23:46] <chaturangaCaller> CC: whatd you think!
[23:46] <ailurAlliance> AA: Well, things are crazy, that's for sure.
[23:46] <ailurAlliance> AA: I think Jydbec is kind of... Unstable.
[23:47] <ailurAlliance> AA: But I do enjoy speaking with VM.
[23:47] <ailurAlliance> AA: It's just, my head is spinning a little.
[23:47] <chaturangaCaller> CC: jydbec is good but she does that to you!
[23:47] <chaturangaCaller> CC: have you spoken to vm since our memo?
[23:47] <ailurAlliance> AA: Please tell me this is happening. Or fake. I just need confirmation either way.
[23:48] <ailurAlliance> AA: Yes, he contacted me.
[23:48] <ailurAlliance> AA: To tell me about trollkind.
[23:48] <ailurAlliance> AA: Also before then we had a bit of a conversation
[23:48] <ailurAlliance> AA: It didn't really go anywhere.
[23:48] <chaturangaCaller> CC: yes hes very good at that!
[23:49] <chaturangaCaller> CC: um just to double check
[23:49] <chaturangaCaller> CC: you are a human, right?
[23:49] <ailurAlliance> AA: Wha-
[23:49] <ailurAlliance> AA: No, I'm a white-blooded sharp-fanged alien from outer space.
[23:49] <ailurAlliance> AA: You figured me out.
[23:50] <ailurAlliance> AA: Seriously though.
[23:50] <ailurAlliance> AA: I am human.
[23:50] <chaturangaCaller> CC: haha!
[23:50] <ailurAlliance> AA: Why would you think I'm not?
[23:50] <chaturangaCaller> CC: i dunno! why not?
[23:51] <ailurAlliance> AA: I distinctly recall mentioning, some things, only a human should be able to know.
[23:51] <ailurAlliance> AA: I may be misremembering, but, I think I did.
[23:51] <chaturangaCaller> CC: yeah yeah i know, europe and stuff
[23:51] <chaturangaCaller> CC: i just didnt want to be presumptious!
[23:51] <ailurAlliance> AA: Thanks, I guess.
[23:52] <chaturangaCaller> CC: youre welcome!
[23:52] <chaturangaCaller> CC: so what are you interested in anyways?
[23:52] <chaturangaCaller> CC: i feel like this is an opportunity to have a bordering on normal conversation!
[23:52] <ailurAlliance> AA: Mostly books and anime and such.
[23:53] <ailurAlliance> AA: I'm kind of a fiction nerd to be honest.
[23:53] <chaturangaCaller> CC: ah! fictions alright
[23:53] <chaturangaCaller> CC: i sort of prefer history books!
[23:53] <chaturangaCaller> CC: theyre usually kinda weird though
[23:53] <chaturangaCaller> CC: but thats whats fun about them!
[23:54] <ailurAlliance> AA: People should write history the way they do fiction. That way I'd be more interested in it.
[23:54] <chaturangaCaller> CC: oh! ohohohohoh!
[23:54] <chaturangaCaller> CC: i have the BEST books for those!
[23:54] <ailurAlliance> AA: All the history I've had to learn is a plain summarization of facts.
[23:54] <chaturangaCaller> CC: thats why i got into the genre!
[23:54] <ailurAlliance> AA: Oh, really?
[23:54] <chaturangaCaller> CC: yeah!
[23:54] <chaturangaCaller> CC: all these books are sort of not accepted by academics!
[23:54] <chaturangaCaller> CC: so that means they have REALLY INTERESTING STUFF IN THEM!
[23:55] <chaturangaCaller> CC: like the book im reading right now
[23:55] <chaturangaCaller> CC: um
[23:55] <ailurAlliance> AA: Wow. Pretty neat!
[23:55] <chaturangaCaller> CC: well no the book i read BEFORE the book im reading right now is all about witchcraft in the middle ages!
[23:55] <chaturangaCaller> CC: like, actual witchcraft!
[23:56] <ailurAlliance> AA: I thought they mostly falsely accused people of being witches. But I don't know much about the subject.
[23:56] <ailurAlliance> AA: Do you think some of them were the real deal though?
[23:56] <chaturangaCaller> CC: these books say they were!
[23:56] <chaturangaCaller> CC: part of the fun is the skepticism which comes with them!
[23:56] <chaturangaCaller> CC: all their facts check out! i mean!
[23:57] <chaturangaCaller> CC: you know how they can transform people into frogs?
[23:57] <ailurAlliance> AA: Amazing! What's it called? I'll order that book right now!
[23:57] <ailurAlliance> AA: Tell me, please!
[23:57] <chaturangaCaller> CC: !
[23:57] <chaturangaCaller> CC: um!
[23:57] <chaturangaCaller> CC: give me a moment!
[23:57] <ailurAlliance> AA: Yes, of course!
[23:58] <chaturangaCaller> CC: its called "pagan witchcraft and its role in shaping our society"
[23:58] <chaturangaCaller> CC: no author!
[23:58] <ailurAlliance> AA: Right! I'll track down a copy online after our conversation.
[23:59] <chaturangaCaller> CC: ok!
[23:59] <chaturangaCaller> CC: anyways, that one was pretty good!
[23:59] <ailurAlliance> AA: I'm really interested in magic and stuff so that's great!
[23:59] <chaturangaCaller> CC: oh really!
[23:59] <chaturangaCaller> CC: magic is sweet!
[23:59] <chaturangaCaller> CC: you think that magic was involved with us meeting these trolls?
[00:00] <ailurAlliance> AA: Maybe. I'm not sure.
[00:00] <ailurAlliance> AA: It's hard to identify something as magic.
[00:01] <ailurAlliance> AA: Most things can be explained without it.
[00:01] <chaturangaCaller> CC: yeah
[00:01] <chaturangaCaller> CC: i always felt that when i saw magic id just like KNOW
[00:01] <ailurAlliance> AA: But I think it does exist. It is very rare, but I think there's a potential within everyone to make the unlikely just... HAPPEN, you know.
[00:02] <ailurAlliance> AA: That's what leads to miracles. People using magic without realizing what they've done.
[00:02] <ailurAlliance> AA: I don't think you can learn to tap into it, but I hope it's possible.
[00:02] <ailurAlliance> AA: Maybe I'll find out with your book!
[00:03] <chaturangaCaller> CC: maybe!
[00:03] <chaturangaCaller> CC: i think your probably right!
[00:03] <chaturangaCaller> CC: i sometimes felt that about my cousin!
[00:03] <ailurAlliance> AA: Thanks. Most people call me crazy.
[00:04] <ailurAlliance> AA: What's your cousin like?
[00:04] <chaturangaCaller> CC: um!
[00:04] <chaturangaCaller> CC: hehe!
[00:04] <chaturangaCaller> CC: oh, he died a while ago!
[00:04] <chaturangaCaller> CC: but he was like! kinda stoic!
[00:04] <ailurAlliance> AA: Oh, I'm so sorry.
[00:04] <chaturangaCaller> CC: nono its ok!
[00:04] <chaturangaCaller> CC: um!
[00:04] <chaturangaCaller> CC: hes just!
[00:04] <chaturangaCaller> CC: yeah its fine!
[00:05] <ailurAlliance> AA: So you think, he used magic?
[00:05] <chaturangaCaller> CC: well! i dont know!
[00:06] <chaturangaCaller> CC: some things he says sounds kinda mystic!
[00:06] <chaturangaCaller> CC: he was training me to become a hero!
[00:06] <chaturangaCaller> CC: said that I WOULD become a hero!
[00:06] <chaturangaCaller> CC: but he himself was sort of crazy strong as well!
[00:06] <ailurAlliance> AA: Like a superhero from the comic books?
[00:06] <chaturangaCaller> CC: it was difficult to say!
[00:07] <chaturangaCaller> CC: he apparently raised me since he was 6 all alone in the woods!
[00:07] <chaturangaCaller> CC: and never mentioned how!
[00:07] <ailurAlliance> AA: That's a big feat.
[00:07] <chaturangaCaller> CC: and wed go on all these sorts of training excursions!
[00:07] <chaturangaCaller> CC: and hed take me to caves and try to tell me how the world really was!
[00:07] <chaturangaCaller> CC: but i dont think i took him as seriously as i could have!
[00:07] <chaturangaCaller> CC: i kinda thought itd make sense when we got older!
[00:08] <ailurAlliance> AA: And now you've lost your chance, huh?
[00:08] <ailurAlliance> AA: That must be hard.
[00:09] <chaturangaCaller> CC: hehe! um! no its like
[00:09] <chaturangaCaller> CC: that was the other thing
[00:09] <chaturangaCaller> CC: i think he knew!
[00:09] <chaturangaCaller> CC: or at least he was prepared!
[00:09] <chaturangaCaller> CC: he wanted me to be strong!
[00:09] <chaturangaCaller> CC: so i am!
[00:09] <chaturangaCaller> CC: and im not sad!
[00:09] <chaturangaCaller> CC: because that would be a disservice to all the hapiness and joy he brought to my life!
[00:09] <ailurAlliance> AA: That's admirable.
[00:09] <chaturangaCaller> CC: and this was really a while ago so its not like im not over it by now!
[00:10] <ailurAlliance> AA: You know, this all makes me realize how trapped I feel in my own life.
[00:11] <ailurAlliance> AA: I'm not sure I should talk about it, but...
[00:11] <ailurAlliance> AA: My only company for the past weeks has been just a cat.
[00:11] <ailurAlliance> AA: And I don't really see anyone, either.
[00:12] <ailurAlliance> AA: Most people I meet in real life think I'm too forward and it makes things awkward, so I end up alone.
[00:13] <chaturangaCaller> CC: who cares what people think!
[00:13] <ailurAlliance> AA: You're right.
[00:13] <chaturangaCaller> CC: i cant stand it when people get all flustered wondering if what theyre going to say is appropriate to the situation or not
[00:13] <chaturangaCaller> CC: and i hate it when people dont know how to react and just label you as weird!
[00:13] <chaturangaCaller> CC: i play chess!
[00:13] <chaturangaCaller> CC: and people hate the way i play chess!
[00:14] <chaturangaCaller> CC: but i dont play chess for them!
[00:14] <chaturangaCaller> CC: i play chess because the way i play chess is fun!
[00:14] <ailurAlliance> AA: Maybe I should play chess with you once.
[00:14] <ailurAlliance> AA: I know I kind of bashed on you earlier, but...
[00:14] <ailurAlliance> AA: Maybe it's a bit more relaxing, not having to thing about what is good, but just what feels right to do.
[00:15] <ailurAlliance> AA: Like sacrificing your king.
[00:15] <chaturangaCaller> CC: yesyesyes! thats exactly it!
[00:15] <chaturangaCaller> CC: id love to play with you!
[00:15] <chaturangaCaller> CC: oh and i should introduce you to my friend jace!
[00:15] <chaturangaCaller> CC: his handle is battingProdigy! if you wanted to hit him up!
[00:15] <ailurAlliance> AA: You're on!
[00:15] <chaturangaCaller> CC: we sometimes play chess although its always baseball themed
[00:15] <chaturangaCaller> CC: but yeah!
[00:15] <ailurAlliance> AA: I'll gladly talk to Jace.
[00:15] <ailurAlliance> AA: Does he, eh, know?
[00:16] <ailurAlliance> AA: About trolls?
[00:16] <chaturangaCaller> CC: haha oh yeah!
[00:16] <chaturangaCaller> CC: you two can talk about jydbec all you want!
[00:16] <ailurAlliance> AA: OH! I don't think you even know my name yet!
[00:16] <chaturangaCaller> CC: oh yeah!
[00:16] <ailurAlliance> AA: VM told me yours was Celia. I'm Elliot.
[00:16] <chaturangaCaller> CC: hello Elliot!!
[00:17] <chaturangaCaller> CC: good to meet you!
[00:17] <ailurAlliance> AA: It's nice to talk to you like this. A bit of a break from the craziness.
[00:17] <chaturangaCaller> CC: hehe anytime!
[00:17] <chaturangaCaller> CC: i need to leave though
[00:17] <ailurAlliance> AA: Alright!
[00:17] <ailurAlliance> AA: See you around, Celia.
[00:17] <chaturangaCaller> CC: cya!
