Nick, Faerzen, & Alex on Prospit (part 2)

[20:24] <Nick_Varnegs> im sure this... creature will be fine in your hands alexander... im sorry i tried to...
[20:25]  * Nick_Varnegs aproaches the fire
[20:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> How does it seem to be doing?
[20:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> Also, what food do you have, Alex?
[20:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> You mentioned that you had some in your possession
[20:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> I have some meat from when i treated lyra
[20:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((Sorry about the delay))
[20:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> And a bag of vegetabkes
[20:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> That meat would probably be a good place to start once the dragon seems to be in a better state to consume food.
[20:30] <Nick_Varnegs> how is the fire going?
[20:30]  * Nick_Varnegs unplugs his nose and pokes the fire with his glaive
[20:31] <Nick_Varnegs> -aughhhh! that smell!
[20:31]  * Nick_Varnegs quickly pinches his nose again
[20:32] <Alexander_Pyrite> Yeah we need some better stuff to burn
[20:32] <Alexander_Pyrite> Can we take this dragon to the real world anyway?
[20:33] <Nick_Varnegs> well... this place is definetively "somewhere" so... i guess you can?
[20:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, it should be possible if we were to float there.
[20:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> Prospit is a real place in the same area as our planets.
[20:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> According to Byron, it doesn't take terribly long to fly between them
[20:33] <Nick_Varnegs> ...can we even leave? it would be way easier if we could float down to whatever planet we needed.
[20:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> Plus, we are closer to our planets than he was since he was all the way down there.
[20:33]  * Faerzen_Norstov points up at Skaia
[20:34] <Nick_Varnegs> he was there?!
[20:34] <Nick_Varnegs> isnt like... a war up there?
[20:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, he was exploring
[20:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> There was quite the war
[20:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> That is why he left so promptly!
[20:35] <Alexander_Pyrite> So should we try going there or what
[20:35] <Nick_Varnegs> quite interesting.
[20:35] <Nick_Varnegs> i guess we will eventually have to go
[20:35] <Nick_Varnegs> to... challenge the dersian forces or something to that effect
[20:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> Well i bet if we have a dragon
[20:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> no matter small
[20:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> it will help
[20:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> so lets focus on helping it
[20:36] <Nick_Varnegs> that's a great idea.
[20:36] <Nick_Varnegs> do you think you could take care of it alex?
[20:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> I do believe helping this dragon should be out focus for the time being, yes.
[20:37] <Alexander_Pyrite> I think i could
[20:37] <Alexander_Pyrite> im a bit low on grist but i have the recipie for meat so i should be good
[20:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> If you need to, let me know if you need some more.
[20:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> I can create some at my house and then fly it over to you.
[20:37] <Nick_Varnegs> you can call me if you need some too
[20:38] <Alexander_Pyrite> Thanks guy
[20:38] <Alexander_Pyrite> buys
[20:38] <Alexander_Pyrite> guys ((shit))
[20:38] <Alexander_Pyrite> So what should we do
[20:38] <Alexander_Pyrite> fly home?
[20:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((brb, gotta take a phone call for like 5 minutes))
[20:39] <Nick_Varnegs> i guess... we should just keep... burning this mythical creature
[21:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> As strange as that may sound, I believe that is what we will be needing to do.
[21:05] <Alexander_Pyrite> So are we just going to sit around a burning dragon
[21:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> I am still quite baffled as to why this silly crossbow created such an impure compound, but I have learned sometimes it isn't worth questioning things.
[21:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> We do have quite a large amount of fuel.
[21:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> In about 10 minutes my crossbow will be recharged anyways and I can try again to make some more powerful fuel
[21:06] <Alexander_Pyrite> Well ok
[21:06] <Nick_Varnegs> do you know anything that would burn hotter?
[21:06]  * Faerzen_Norstov raises an eyebrow
[21:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do I know of anything?
[21:06]  * Faerzen_Norstov chuckles
[21:06] <Rouge_Sinna> < Magnesium >
[21:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh yes, Nick. Oh, yes.
[21:06] <Rouge_Sinna> < Blind them for questioning >
[21:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> That will not be an issue. :)
[21:07]  * Nick_Varnegs smirks at faerzen's response
[21:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> I don't know how happy I am about that grin
[21:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> Both of those grins
[21:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> I like my limbs not burned
[21:07] <Nick_Varnegs> oh dont worry alex. im sure faerzen wouldn't burn us alive
[21:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> ;)
[21:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> We'd die first I'm sure
[21:07] <Nick_Varnegs> would you?
[21:08] <Alexander_Pyrite> No
[21:08]  * Nick_Varnegs keeps smirking at faerzen
[21:08] <Alexander_Pyrite> I'm too tanks because of how strong I am
[21:08] <Alexander_Pyrite> That made no sense
[21:08] <Alexander_Pyrite> Can I retract that sentence
[21:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> No, it really didn't.
[21:08] <Nick_Varnegs> ...sure you can. i say stuff that makes no sense all the time
[21:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> I can confirm this statement. ;)
[21:09]  * Nick_Varnegs puts a surprised face and awkwardly laughts
[21:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, how does our current target of interest seem to be faring?
[21:10]  * Faerzen_Norstov peers into the fire, still plugging her nose
[21:10] <Rouge_Sinna> The dragons scales are shimmering through the colors of the rainbow (and black and white) and it appears to be sleeping cozily
[21:11] <Alexander_Pyrite> Should we try to wake it up
[21:11] <Nick_Varnegs> ...i dont think s
[21:11] <Nick_Varnegs> *so
[21:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> I cannot say I am terribly informed on the biology of mythical creatures, but I would venture a guess that this is a desirable outcome.
[21:12] <Nick_Varnegs> would it? many books suggest never waking up a sleeping mythical possibly oversized lizard
[21:12] <Nick_Varnegs> but this one is quite small... i think it must be very young?
[21:12] <Nick_Varnegs> would it? many books suggest never waking up a sleeping mythical possibly oversized lizard
[21:12] <Nick_Varnegs> but this one is quite small... i think it must be very young?
[21:13] <Nick_Varnegs> anyways. i think we should let it sleep
[21:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> I was referring to the colored scales, not waking it up.
[21:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> Apologies for the confusion.
[21:14] <Alexander_Pyrite> So back to sitting around a dragon
[21:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> I can see an argument to be made for either course of action
[21:14]  * Nick_Varnegs shrugs
[21:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> But I know too little informatino to be able to make a recommendation either way.
[21:14] <Nick_Varnegs> well... the creature seems to be doing fine
[21:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> I do not think we should let it sleep for too long, regardless
[21:14] <Nick_Varnegs> ...i wonder if it has a name?
[21:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> Given how emaciated it is, it should eat food sometime.
[21:15] <Alexander_Pyrite> I'll get the meat out
[21:15]  * Alexander_Pyrite gets the meat out
[21:15]  * Nick_Varnegs looks at alex as he gets his meat out
[21:16]  * Alexander_Pyrite hefts the massive hunk of meat
[21:16] <Nick_Varnegs> ...so... what animal?
[21:16] <Faerzen_Norstov> Perhaps it would be beneficial to slice off some smaller pieces of this large cut of meat?
[21:17] <Alexander_Pyrite> I think cow
[21:17] <Alexander_Pyrite> I think I have a knife in here
[21:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> Nick has a glaive as well
[21:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> Though.....
[21:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> Perhaps after being in *that*....
[21:17]  * Faerzen_Norstov points at pile of fuel
[21:17] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
[21:18] <Nick_Varnegs> remind me to clean this thing faerzen? please?
[21:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> Good point
[21:18]  * Alexander_Pyrite grabs the knife from the pile of stuffs
[21:18]  * Nick_Varnegs captchalogues his glaive
[21:19] <Nick_Varnegs> i wonder what that gunk was in the first place
[21:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> Clearly some form of odoriferous organic compound.
[21:19] <Alexander_Pyrite> Wait can't we captchalouge some and then use it in a combo to see what it's called
[21:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> I am miffed why the carbon was so contaminated, but it worked so I am hardly one to complain.
[21:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> That we could.
[21:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> Perhaps.
[21:20] <Nick_Varnegs> maybe its some other form of carbon stuff?
[21:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> I know not how dream sylladexes work.
[21:20] <Alexander_Pyrite> Neither do I
[21:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> Organic compounds are usually very heavy in carbon, yes.
[21:20] <Nick_Varnegs> dont you have equipment to analize chemical compounds?
[21:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, I do.
[21:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> Quite a lot, actually!
[21:20] <Nick_Varnegs> do you think this is worth investigating?
[21:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> Perhaps? Perhaps not.
[21:21] <Nick_Varnegs> oh well
[21:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> It smells badly enough that frankly I don't have much preference either way.
[21:21] <Alexander_Pyrite> I for one would like to know if it's literal shit
[21:21]  * Alexander_Pyrite slices the meat into manageable chunks
[21:21] <Nick_Varnegs> well... it does look like manure
[21:22] <Nick_Varnegs> i must admit. the idea of saving a diying dragon by putting it into a pile of burning shit is quite... something
[21:23]  * Faerzen_Norstov giggles
[21:23] <Nick_Varnegs> *muttering to himself * i love that laught
[21:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> I must admit the idea of being with strangers from all across time and space in a golden dream city where we can fly trying to create a new world is quite..... something
[21:22] <Nick_Varnegs> i must admit. the idea of saving a diying dragon by putting it into a pile of burning shit is quite... something
[21:23]  * Faerzen_Norstov giggles
[21:23] <Nick_Varnegs> *muttering to himself * i love that laught
[21:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> I must admit the idea of being with strangers from all across time and space in a golden dream city where we can fly trying to create a new world is quite..... something
[21:24]  * Nick_Varnegs sighs
[21:24]  * Faerzen_Norstov winks
[21:24] <Nick_Varnegs> i think i already missed it in that case :/
[21:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, what do you two think we should do now?
[21:25] <Nick_Varnegs> i remember a... few days ago... it was going to be an important day... but oh for the life of my i cant remember what
[21:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't particularly want to leave this poor dragon here alone.
[21:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hmm?
[21:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> Are you on about dates again?
[21:25] <Nick_Varnegs> neither do i, even though i tried to kill it earlier
[21:25] <Nick_Varnegs> yes faerzen. im about dates again
[21:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> Again, I have to admit I have no idea what date it was when you entered.
[21:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> So I apologize but I have nothing to help.[21:26] <Nick_Varnegs> eh. it'll come to me eventually
[21:26] <Nick_Varnegs> im sure it wasn't something THAT important
[21:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> Probably not.
[21:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> Should we.... split up?
[21:27] <Nick_Varnegs> ...i... guess so?
[21:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> I hate to suggest it, but I do not want to sit idle for so long when we have a mission.
[21:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> I'm just gonna pile a bunch of shit on the shield and carry the dragon with that
[21:28]  * Alexander_Pyrite puts more mysterious carbon onto the shield
[21:28]  * Alexander_Pyrite lights it
[21:28] <Nick_Varnegs> well... i guess this is the part where we split roads then?
[21:29]  * Alexander_Pyrite used nick's Glaive to push the dragon into the shield
[21:29] <Nick_Varnegs> ((captchalogued))
[21:29]  * Alexander_Pyrite used the smaller shield not the Glaive
[21:30]  * Alexander_Pyrite lifts the shield and burnin dragonshit combo above head and is now ready to walk around
[21:30] <Nick_Varnegs> ill... ill see you when i wake up alex? we could go huting if that is what you want to do :)
[21:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> Careful with that!
[21:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do you need any help?
[21:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> I suppose that is an alternative to splitting up.
[21:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> I can't promise I would be of much assistance though.....
[21:30] <Alexander_Pyrite> Nah I'm good, and yeah I'll see you then
[21:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((dat 8 strength))
[21:30] <Alexander_Pyrite> I'm pretty strong so
[21:31]  * Alexander_Pyrite has 19 strength
[21:31]  * Faerzen_Norstov pats Alex's shoulder gently
[21:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> That you are ;)
[21:31] <Nick_Varnegs> faerzen, alex is way stronger than i... im sure he can handle that
[21:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> Where do you intend on taking this dragon?
[21:31]  * Alexander_Pyrite blushes slightly
[21:31]  * Nick_Varnegs looks at alex and clears his throat
[21:32] <Alexander_Pyrite> I guess to the castle
[21:32] <Alexander_Pyrite> See if they have a brazier or something
[21:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> That is an idea.
[21:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> It would be a good idea to find something long term before you "fall asleep"
[21:33] <Alexander_Pyrite> Yeah
[21:33] <Alexander_Pyrite> Well I'll be off
[21:33] <Alexander_Pyrite> You guys enjoy your date around prospit
[21:34] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
[21:34]  * Nick_Varnegs blushes lightly due to remembering recent events
[21:34] <Nick_Varnegs> uhhh....
[21:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> Yeah suddenly it got awkward
[21:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> See you guys
[21:35]  * Alexander_Pyrite walks off dragon in hands
[21:35] <Nick_Varnegs> see you then alex
[21:35] <Nick_Varnegs> lets meet up later :)
[21:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> Wait, Alex!
[21:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> I... Hmm.....
[21:38] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((Wot))
[21:38] <Nick_Varnegs> did you have any ideas?
[21:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't precisely know of how we can accurately measure time.
[21:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> But we will try and meet you at the castle.
[21:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> Sometime.
[21:39] <Alexander_Pyrite> Yeah ok
[21:39] <Alexander_Pyrite> I will see you then
[21:39] <Nick_Varnegs> im sure we'll bump into him sooner or later.
[21:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> We simply need to perform some scouting duties and then we will be right there.
[21:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> Toodles!
[21:39]  * Faerzen_Norstov waves
[21:40]  * Nick_Varnegs waves at alex as he leaves
[21:41] <Nick_Varnegs> i guess its just the two of us again? im gonna miss that guy.
[21:41] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well then, Nick, where do you think we should head off to?
[21:41] <Faerzen_Norstov> He seems nice enough!
[21:41] <Nick_Varnegs> he quite is :)
[21:42] <Faerzen_Norstov> I am glad to hear that he doesn't seem as unstable as Lyra to say the least.
[21:42] <Faerzen_Norstov> Quite a normal bloke.
[21:42] <Nick_Varnegs> well... i guess we should check... the rest of the towers?
[21:42] <Faerzen_Norstov> Perhaps?
[21:42] <Faerzen_Norstov> I would prefer to be brief.
[21:43] <Faerzen_Norstov> Which of the other two would you prefer to visit first?
[21:43] <Faerzen_Norstov> Perhaps the one right here?
[21:43] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((Prospit 2))
[21:43] <Nick_Varnegs> well... we now know one of them belongs to alex and the other one belongs-- belonged to the girl of dragons.
[21:43] <Nick_Varnegs> that sounds like a great idea
[21:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((/u/Vagoasdf))
[21:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((land of tears and sands))
[21:44] <Rouge_Sinna> ( Ah )
[21:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((don't have the player name))
[21:44] <Rouge_Sinna> ( Proto? )
[21:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((sprocket))
[21:45] <Rouge_Sinna> ( Tower is completely empty )
[21:45]  * Faerzen_Norstov flies up and looks in the window
[21:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hmmm
[21:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, that was simple.
[21:45]  * Nick_Varnegs flies up
[21:45] <Nick_Varnegs> another empty one?
[21:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> Indeed
[21:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> This one completely bare
[21:46] <Nick_Varnegs> oh...
[21:46] <Nick_Varnegs> i wonder who...
[21:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> The last one is on the end, I believe
[21:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> We may never know
[21:47] <Nick_Varnegs> lets go shall we?
[21:47] <Rouge_Sinna> ( Last one is Caliburdeath? )
[21:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((wolfy_is_my_waifu))
[21:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((land of bottles and gasses))
[21:49]  * Faerzen_Norstov solemnly begins floating in that direction
[21:49] <Rouge_Sinna> < Proto? >
[21:49]  * Nick_Varnegs surprise-hugs faerzen as she floats
[21:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((none listed))
[21:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((there are a lot of blanks, not sure if intentional))
[21:49] <Rouge_Sinna> Emptytower.jpg
[21:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((probably are))
[21:50] <Rouge_Sinna> ( Left before he Proto'd an item )
[21:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, that was exciting and sad.
[21:50] <Nick_Varnegs> well... it kind of is
[21:50] <Nick_Varnegs> you get used to death after a while... im not sure if that is a good or bad thing
[21:51]  * Nick_Varnegs lets go of faerzen and taps the tower with his hand "rest in peace, whoever you were"
[21:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> Even if it is inevitable and everywhere, that doesn't make it any less unfortunate.
[21:51]  * Faerzen_Norstov frowns
[21:52] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
[21:53]  * Nick_Varnegs maintains a minute of silence for the ones that have passed away
[21:55] <Nick_Varnegs> so... i guess that's it for... current players?
[21:55] <Nick_Varnegs> so... i guess that's it for... current players?
[21:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> I suppose it is, yes.
[21:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> Shall we begin our exploration?
[21:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> I was thinking it might be good to investigate something we can easily compare our Prospit to.
[21:56] <Nick_Varnegs> such as...
[21:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> I know not what we will find, but our Prospit is essentially the only frame of reference we have.
[21:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> If we want to investigate infrastructure and technological development....
[21:57] <Nick_Varnegs> ...the castle
[21:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> Their farms or equivalent agricultural systems seem like a good place to start
[21:57] <Nick_Varnegs> oh!
[21:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> That is really the only thing we have seen on our Prospit
[21:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> That and mines.
[21:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> What do you think?
[21:58] <Nick_Varnegs> i think its a nice idea, as usual :)
[21:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do you see any buildings around here that look similar to the farms we visited before?
[21:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> Given how large the farms were, it would make sense to have several entrances.
[21:59]  * Nick_Varnegs looks around
[21:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> Not to mention safety and evacuation routes.
[22:00] <Nick_Varnegs> hmmm...
[22:00]  * Faerzen_Norstov floats up a bit, looking for a similar set up spires and narrow pointed roof that were the farm building on her prospit
[22:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> roll 1d20+4 perception
[22:00] <`DICE> Faerzen_Norstov rolled 1d20+4 perception [ 1d20=18 ]{22}
[22:00] <Nick_Varnegs> do you see anything?
[22:02] <Nick_Varnegs> anyways... faerzen...
[22:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes?
[22:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((oh god))
[22:02] <Nick_Varnegs> there's something that had me worried. you mentioned a dream
[22:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((this is it, isn't it))
[22:03] <Nick_Varnegs> ((nope))
[22:03] <Nick_Varnegs> ((not even close))
[22:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hmm?
[22:03] <Nick_Varnegs> back with alex...
[22:04] <Nick_Varnegs> you mentioned a dream that you didn't want to think about
[22:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> ...
[22:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> oh.
[22:04] <Nick_Varnegs> i... if you dont want to talk about it...
[22:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> You really pry sometimes, you know that? :P
[22:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> No, it's okay.
[22:05] <Nick_Varnegs> im sorry, its just that i worry about thee
[22:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> I think I can tell you about it without reliving it too much.
[22:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> It was essentially a stereotypical nightmare
[22:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> Byron sent me some questionable messages as I was going to sleep
[22:05] <Nick_Varnegs> ...oh dear. i see
[22:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> So I wanted to wake up in Prospit.
[22:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> That is when he arrived and woke you up.
[22:06] <Nick_Varnegs> ill suppose this... happened durring...
[22:06] <Nick_Varnegs> yeah.
[22:06]  * Nick_Varnegs surprise-hugs faerzen again
[22:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh!
[22:22]  * Faerzen_Norstov smiles and hugs Nick back
[22:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, I dare say that mysterious dream was the reason I failed to wake up on Prospit
[22:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> It was already a nightmare
[22:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> But then.....
[22:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well
[22:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> I can come to no other conclusions but that quite a few things from "reality" in Prospit bled through into my dream
[22:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> making it all the more miserable
[22:24] <Nick_Varnegs> you... heard my... words to byron?
[22:24] <Nick_Varnegs> oh dear...
[22:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> I used my crossbow a couple times in the dream to attempt to convert various materials, that is all I was referring to
[22:24] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
[22:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> Please, let us not dwell on it.
[22:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> I heard some things from both of you
[22:24]  * Nick_Varnegs hugs faerzen even closer
[22:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> Not to mention felt quite a bit too.
[22:25] <Nick_Varnegs> i... i see
[22:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> But again I would prefer not to dwell on it.
[22:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> The dream was quite nightmarish as it was, let alone reliving it now.
[22:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> That, coupled with everything that occurred immediately upon me waking up....
[22:26]  * Faerzen_Norstov shudders
[22:26]  * Nick_Varnegs keeps hugging
[22:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> No, please let us not discuss this further.
[22:27] <Nick_Varnegs> i agree
[22:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> (( Rouge_Sinna , did Faerzen see anything when she perceptioned the city area around her? She rolled a 22))
[22:28] <Nick_Varnegs> ...dreams are quite a misterious thing, lets not...dwell into it
[22:28] <Rouge_Sinna> < I can't talk now. I trust you to DM it yourself >
[22:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((okay))
[22:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((will do))
[22:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((quick question))
[22:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((is the technology here much higher?))
[22:29] <Rouge_Sinna> < Actually less than modern times. >
[22:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((compared to the other prospit))
[22:29] <Rouge_Sinna> < The same >
[22:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((okay))
[22:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((thx))
[22:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((we can take it from here))
[22:30] <Rouge_Sinna> < Hivemind renders advanced tech unneeded >
[22:30] <Nick_Varnegs> ((foodblob sprite made the queen worry about prospitian meals?))
[22:30] <Rouge_Sinna> < Ping me if you come across a Prospitian or two >
[22:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((okay))
[22:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((we'll probably keep things relatively deserted))
[22:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((just to keep things simple))
[22:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> I see some twisting spires over there that seem similar to the farms we saw on our Prospit.
[22:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> If it isn't an entrance to the farm, it at least may be a civil building where we can obtain more information.
[22:32]  * Nick_Varnegs still hasn't released faerzen
[22:32] <Nick_Varnegs> lets... lets go then? :)
[22:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, I suppose we shall
[22:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> Are you..... going to let go sometime? :)
[22:33] <Nick_Varnegs> nope, this is hug time
[22:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> Ooookay then.
[22:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> I can't say I'm complaining. :)
[22:33]  * Nick_Varnegs begins flying in the direction of the spires
[22:34]  * Faerzen_Norstov continues hugging Nick in an awkward hug-flying x2 combo
[22:34] <Nick_Varnegs> yep. sorry about being all... huggy all of the sudden, but, all that stuff about that dream, i know how you must have felt
[22:34]  * Nick_Varnegs keeps awkwardly hugging as he softly lands
[22:35] <Faerzen_Norstov> You... do?
[22:35] <Faerzen_Norstov> That is quite a hefty claim, my friend.
[22:35]  * Faerzen_Norstov frowns
[22:35] <Nick_Varnegs> i have been quite afraid lots of times... but i cant say it was remotely close to what you experienced
[22:36]  * Nick_Varnegs slowly lets go of faerzen
[22:36] <Nick_Varnegs> fear is... a really strong emotion
[22:37]  * Faerzen_Norstov ruffles Nick's hair
[22:37]  * Nick_Varnegs smiles
[22:38]  * Faerzen_Norstov sighs
[22:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes... yes it is.
[22:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> Sometimes I wish it made me less irrational. But it does.
[22:38] <Nick_Varnegs> :/
[22:39]  * Nick_Varnegs softly pats faerzen's shoulder and gives her a reasuring smile
[22:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> In case you haven't already noticed the obvious, I almost always regret it when I am not rational.
[22:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> So it is something I try to avoid as much as possible.
[22:41] <Nick_Varnegs> well... you have always been the one that actually plans for things
[22:42] <Nick_Varnegs> really... you need to relax more often ;)
[22:44]  * Faerzen_Norstov raises an eyebrow
[22:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't deny that that would be very desirable, but the consequences aren't worth it at this point.
[22:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> Maybe when I can actually afford to take some down time for myself. :)
[22:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> There are too many exciting and terrible things happening, too many people to keep track of, too much at risk for now!
[22:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> We'll get there eventually though. :)
[22:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> I hope.
[22:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> :/
[22:46] <Nick_Varnegs> we could take a day off one of these times, ill cook you a nice meal like last time and we could... i dont know... actually relax for once? read or something?
[22:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> Ooh, I do like reading. :)
[22:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have quite a few literary works from your future!
[22:46] <Nick_Varnegs> :o
[22:46] <Nick_Varnegs> i would be quite interested in reading some of those
[22:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> In fact, almost all of my literary works are from your future.
[22:47] <Nick_Varnegs> well... i have some from... your past?
[22:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> No offense, but people from your time were not terribly prolific in their writings
[22:47] <Nick_Varnegs> i know :p
[22:48] <Nick_Varnegs> books are hard to get if you didnt have a good place to get them
[22:48] <Nick_Varnegs> goodness i worked at a library didn't i? ;)
[22:49] <Nick_Varnegs> anyways, lets proceed. we dont want the queen being angry for us taking some time getting information
[22:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> Here we are, anyways.
[22:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> Good timing!
[22:50]  * Faerzen_Norstov knocks on the door
[22:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> This building seems rather worse for wear....
[22:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> <no response>
[22:51] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
[22:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> What.... do you think we should do?
[22:51]  * Nick_Varnegs tries opening the door to no avail
[22:51] <Nick_Varnegs> ...i think the frame collapsed on itself
[22:51] <Nick_Varnegs> the door must be stuck
[22:51] <Nick_Varnegs> do you think there's someone trapped inside?
[22:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> Perhaps?
[22:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> I do not know.
[22:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> There is one way to find out, I suppose.
[22:52]  * Nick_Varnegs kicks the door open
[22:52]  * Faerzen_Norstov pulls out her crossbow
[22:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh.
[22:52] <Nick_Varnegs> there we go
[22:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> I suppose that could work too.
[22:52]  * Faerzen_Norstov stows her crossbow
[22:52]  * Nick_Varnegs shrugs
[22:53] <Faerzen_Norstov> It seems..... quiet in here.
[22:53] <Nick_Varnegs> indeed it does
[22:54] <Nick_Varnegs> the receptionist is... not here
[22:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> The fact that there is a clerical desk in the first place is promising though....
[22:54] <Nick_Varnegs> hmmm...
[22:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> Let's check the doors around here to see if one of them contains stairs downwards.
[22:54]  * Nick_Varnegs advances to the desk and checks behind it
[22:55]  * Faerzen_Norstov begins opening and checking doors
[22:55] <Tarane[K1K]> (( I just realised that I wasn't mentioned at all in prospit D: Heck, even Alex forget that I was supposed to be there! :'( ))
[22:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((rekt))
[22:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((that's right Lyra said she was going to tell you to get away from Derse))
[22:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((well..... I say "said"))
[22:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> (("thought" is probably more accurate :P))
[22:56] <Nick_Varnegs> ((...well then? where are you? lets metagame you into this shit))
[22:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((sketchy faerzen is sketchy))
[22:56] <Tarane[K1K]> (( I fell asleep in Alexs tower... no wai am I back on derse~))
[22:56] <Nick_Varnegs> ((oh dang))
[22:56] <Tarane[K1K]> ((Nah I'm still awake :P))
[22:56] <Nick_Varnegs> ((for NOW kekekeke... remember, im your dm for now ;) ))
[22:57] <Nick_Varnegs> any way to descend faerzen?
[22:57] <Tarane[K1K]> ((:P))
[22:57] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((sorry tarane))
[22:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> These two doors simply appear to be hallways
[22:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> Let me check these doors over here.
[22:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do you see anything back there?
[22:58] <Nick_Varnegs> nope. no track of the reception lady
[22:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> This door is locked
[22:59] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
[22:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> I needed a key to get into the farms before.
[22:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> So perhaps this is the door?
[22:59]  * Nick_Varnegs checks the little cabinets on the desk
[22:59] <Nick_Varnegs> hmmm
[22:59] <Nick_Varnegs> give me a moment
[22:59]  * Nick_Varnegs keeps checking
[22:59] <Nick_Varnegs> this may be it?
[23:00]  * Nick_Varnegs throws faerzen a key
[23:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> The receptionist had the keys on our Prospit.
[23:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> Were those lying around?
[23:00] <Nick_Varnegs> they were in this cabinet
[23:00]  * Faerzen_Norstov catches key and tries inserting it into the door[23:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> No, it doesn't fit into the lock
[23:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> :/
[23:01] <Nick_Varnegs> hmmm....
[23:01] <Nick_Varnegs> i have an idea
[23:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do you want to try and break out the big guns again? See if your foot is as effective here?
[23:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, you do?
[23:01]  * Nick_Varnegs aproaches the door and takes a few steps back
[23:01]  * Faerzen_Norstov stands clear
[23:01] <Nick_Varnegs> alright... this will probably not work
[23:02]  * Nick_Varnegs runs up to the door and drop kicks the fuck out of the door
[23:02]  * Nick_Varnegs falls to the ground. the door still is locked
[23:02] <Nick_Varnegs> ...ow
[23:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Here, I have an alternative
[23:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Stand here next to the door.
[23:03]  * Nick_Varnegs stands up
[23:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have a nice surprise for you
[23:03]  * Nick_Varnegs stands next to the door
[23:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> This is probably a novelty you've never experienced before!
[23:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Given your time period
[23:03] <Nick_Varnegs> oh?
[23:04] <Nick_Varnegs> go ahead. i like how this sunds
[23:04] <Nick_Varnegs> *sounds
[23:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> Okay, when this happens, I need you to take a big breath in.
[23:04] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
[23:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> Otherwise the gas will dissipate too rapidly.
[23:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> Are you ready?
[23:04]  * Faerzen_Norstov pulls our her crossbow
[23:04] <Nick_Varnegs> i... i somehow dont like those last words
[23:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> I am going to fire at the door, and then you need to take a deep breath
[23:05]  * Faerzen_Norstov giggles
[23:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh don't worry, it will be fine!
[23:05]  * Nick_Varnegs still looks worried
[23:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> I've done this many times before.
[23:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> Albeit not with a crossbow
[23:05] <Nick_Varnegs> ...ok?
[23:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> Are you ready for your deep breath in?
[23:06] <Nick_Varnegs> yes
[23:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> After you breath in, there's no need to do anything special. No holding your breath or exhaling or anything.
[23:06]  * Nick_Varnegs still is worried
[23:06] <Nick_Varnegs> alright
[23:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> Just do whatever you want. Talk, preferrably
[23:06] <Nick_Varnegs> heh.
[23:06]  * Faerzen_Norstov sets her crossbow to HELIUM and takes aim at the door
[23:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> Okay!
[23:07] <Nick_Varnegs> alright, im ready
[23:07]  * Faerzen_Norstov fires at the door, which immediately vaporizes
[23:07]  * Nick_Varnegs takes a really deep breath
[23:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> There we go!
[23:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> How do you feel?
[23:07] <Nick_Varnegs> *squeaky voice* so... what-- WHAT?!
[23:07]  * Faerzen_Norstov smiles widely in anticipation
[23:07]  * Faerzen_Norstov bursts out laughing
[23:08] <Nick_Varnegs> *squeaky voice* what the hell just happened?!
[23:08]  * Nick_Varnegs begins laughting too
[23:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hahahaha! Holy crap, that's so much more hilarious that I was expecting!
[23:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> You sound so squeaky!
[23:08] <Nick_Varnegs> *squeaky* oh gooood.... i sound so ridiculous!
[23:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> And your laugh!
[23:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> You should talk to the queen in this voice when we return
[23:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> Simply to see her reaction
[23:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> :P
[23:09] <Tarane[K1K]> ((Such a troll Faerzen X$))
[23:09] <Nick_Varnegs> *squeaks* is this permanent? i dont see myself living with this voice
[23:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((you betcha))
[23:09] <Tarane[K1K]> ((well that failed lol))
[23:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> No, it should be dying down here soon.
[23:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> The more breaths you take, the weaker it gets
[23:09] <Nick_Varnegs> *squeaks* oh dear the queen! just imagine her reaction!
[23:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> The air in your lungs will gradually be replaced by normal air.
[23:10] <Nick_Varnegs> *less squeaky* you trickster ;)
[23:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> Trickster? Meeee?
[23:11]  * Faerzen_Norstov gasps in mock surprise
[23:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> This is educational!
[23:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> Now you know more about one of the chemical elements!
[23:12] <Faerzen_Norstov> This is "Helium", by the way.
[23:12] <Nick_Varnegs> *almost no squeaks* well... i said i wanted to learn stuff about the future didn't i?
[23:13] <Nick_Varnegs> lets go prankmaster, the farms are down there :)
[23:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> You asked in particular about chemical elements too, I might add!
[23:15]  * Faerzen_Norstov gestures down the stairs
[23:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> After you, my good sir!
[23:16] <Nick_Varnegs> i insist, after you
[23:16]  * Nick_Varnegs does a mock bow
[23:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> Okay, then.
[23:17]  * Faerzen_Norstov rolls eyes
[23:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> :)
[23:18]  * Nick_Varnegs smiles and begins advancing next to faerzen
[23:19]  * Faerzen_Norstov continues descending stairs
[23:19]  * Nick_Varnegs descends with faerzen
[23:20] <Nick_Varnegs> anyways... dost thou think this prospit is more advanced than ours?
[23:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> It is hard to tell at the moment
[23:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> We shall see soon
[23:23]  * Nick_Varnegs runs one of his hands trough the walls
[23:23]  * Nick_Varnegs runs one of his hands trough the walls
[23:24] <Nick_Varnegs> this... place is cold
[23:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> <the stairs soon open up into a large cavern full of grain>
[23:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes....
[23:24] <Nick_Varnegs> its... somewhat colder than... the other one
[23:24]  * Nick_Varnegs wraps one of his wings around faerzen
[23:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thank you :)
[23:26] <Nick_Varnegs> i supposed you were quite cold with an open back dress :)
[23:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, this certainly seems to be a farm.
[23:26] <Nick_Varnegs> well... it seems like it[23:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> can you see any machines anywhere?
[23:28] <Nick_Varnegs> ...the machines that collected grain dont seem to be here...
[23:28] <Nick_Varnegs> neither collapsed over the grain
[23:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> Perhaps they have an alternative method of harvesting grain other than machines mounted on the ceiling?
[23:28] <Nick_Varnegs> hmmm...
[23:28] <Nick_Varnegs> to be fair this looks quite... familiar to me
[23:28] <Nick_Varnegs> and that gives away much of the farming in this place
[23:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> What do you mean?
[23:29] <Nick_Varnegs> sure the crops are surely kept better than in my time but... yeah, this is just an... old times farm
[23:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> Indeed.
[23:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> We should look around for signs of any kind of harvesting equipment
[23:30] <Nick_Varnegs> i wonder why this prospit is not as focused on... farming
[23:30] <Nick_Varnegs> well... lets look around
[23:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> Perhaps they are and the farm simply looks abandoned because of the recent incident?
[23:31]  * Nick_Varnegs begins walking to the nearest staircase accidentally draggin faerzen in his wing
[23:31] <Nick_Varnegs> perhaps
[23:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> It is hard to tell.
[23:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oops!
[23:31] <Nick_Varnegs> perhaps they didnt care much fo- oh shit
[23:31]  * Faerzen_Norstov stumbles a bit
[23:31] <Nick_Varnegs> sorry :o
[23:31]  * Faerzen_Norstov giggles
[23:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> Don't worry about it. :)
[23:32] <Nick_Varnegs> :)
[23:32]  * Nick_Varnegs flexes his wing down and pulls faerzen into him
[23:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hello :)
[23:33] <Nick_Varnegs> hi there :)
[23:34]  * Nick_Varnegs gives a small laught
[23:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do you want to check the periphery of the room and I will check around the large pillars around in the middle?
[23:35] <Faerzen_Norstov> Perhaps there are pieces of equipment or storage closets around here somewhere.
[23:35] <Nick_Varnegs> sure, that sounds like a plan.
[23:35]  * Faerzen_Norstov looks up and pecks a kiss on Nick's chin
[23:35]  * Nick_Varnegs is pleasantly surprised
[23:35] <Faerzen_Norstov> Great! Off we go!
[23:35]  * Faerzen_Norstov ruffles Nick's hair and runs off
[23:36] <Nick_Varnegs> off we go! if you feel cold you know where to find me
[23:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> Says the person who also has open-backed upper body attire. ;)
[23:37] <Nick_Varnegs> eh.. im good for cold, getting used to backless attire will be hard though
[23:37]  * Nick_Varnegs walks to a door on one side of the room
[23:38] <Nick_Varnegs> hmmm...
[23:38]  * Faerzen_Norstov makes her way to one of the large pillars throughout the center of the cavern
[23:38]  * Nick_Varnegs checks the doors
[23:38] <Nick_Varnegs> closed. dammit
[23:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't see anything around this pillar, I'm headed over to the next set of pillars
[23:39] <Nick_Varnegs> alright. tell me if you find anything
[23:39]  * Nick_Varnegs kicks the door
[23:40] <Nick_Varnegs> open-*kick* you-*kick* damm-*kick* door!
[23:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do you still have that key?
[23:40] <Nick_Varnegs> you had it
[23:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, silly me, I have it!
[23:41]  * Faerzen_Norstov quickly floats over to Nick and gives him the key
[23:41]  * Nick_Varnegs aproaches faerzen and quickly pecks a kiss on her cheek
[23:41] <Nick_Varnegs> thanks dear
[23:41]  * Faerzen_Norstov smiles
[23:41] <Faerzen_Norstov> See if that works, perhaps?
[23:42]  * Nick_Varnegs tests the key
[23:42]  * Faerzen_Norstov flies back over towards the other pillars
[23:42] <Nick_Varnegs> works like a charm :)
[23:42]  * Nick_Varnegs opens the door
[23:43] <Nick_Varnegs> well... there are tools in here...
[23:43] <Nick_Varnegs> and what i assume is some sort of fertilizing suplement
[23:43] <Faerzen_Norstov> Interesting!
[23:44]  * Nick_Varnegs picks up a sickle "yep... they dont seem to be as advanced on farming as our prospit"
[23:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> There seems to be a large set of doors over here, but I don't see an immediate way to open the doors. There isn't a keyhold.
[23:44]  * Faerzen_Norstov studies the door to figure out its opening mechanism
[23:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> roll 1d20+7 investigation
[23:44] <`DICE> Faerzen_Norstov rolled 1d20+7 investigation [ 1d20=10 ]{17}
[23:45] <Nick_Varnegs> you could just vaporize them with your crossbow
[23:45] <Nick_Varnegs> or make me all squeaky again
[23:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> I suppose I could, but it still needs a couple minutes to recharge.
[23:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> It takes approximately 5 minutes to recharge between uses.
[23:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, I won't make you squeaky again!
[23:45]  * Nick_Varnegs sets the sickle down and keeps looking at the old-timey tools
[23:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> Believe me, I have other things in mind. ;)
[23:45] <Nick_Varnegs> :o
[23:46] <Nick_Varnegs> should i be worried?
[23:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, Nick, never ask that question.
[23:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> You should *always* be worried. ;)
[23:47] <Nick_Varnegs> oh dear...
[23:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh! I found some gears in the wall that look as though they are attached to a ratcheting mechanism
[23:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> That cable probably loops around a pulley and connects to the door?
[23:47]  * Faerzen_Norstov begins turning wheel
[23:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> <the stone doors grind open>
[23:48]  * Nick_Varnegs aproaches faerzen
[23:48]  * Faerzen_Norstov walks around to peer inside
[23:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well isn't that something.
[23:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> That is very intriguing indeed.
[23:48] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
[23:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> How does..... Hmmm.
[23:49] <Nick_Varnegs> what did you find?
[23:49]  * Nick_Varnegs enters the place too
[23:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, there seems to be some larger pieces of transportation equipment in here
[23:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> You know, for moving the grain out of here
[23:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> and up to the surface
[23:49] <Nick_Varnegs> oh
[23:49] <Nick_Varnegs> that's quite something
[23:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> They are clearly capable of technological developments.... but I wonder why they haven't bothered to automate the harvesting?
[23:50] <Nick_Varnegs> perhaps they dont care much about crops?
[23:50] <Nick_Varnegs> they must be focused in something else then
[23:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> It would seem to be more efficient to have machines solve that problem rather than large numbers of laborers using tools.
[23:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> That is entirely possible.
[23:51] <Nick_Varnegs> perhaps they focused their technological progress on weaponry?
[23:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> Or perhaps they have an abundance of labor to take care of the monotonous harvesting work? Maybe their population here is smaller so they do not need as much food?
[23:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> How many tools did you see in there? Were there quite a lot?
[23:51] <Tarane[K1K]> ((Do any of you have a comms device on you? If so, check your reddit for a message :P))
[23:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> It seemed a rather large closet.
[23:51] <Nick_Varnegs> ((nopes))
[23:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((Faerzen always has his glasses! :D ))
[23:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((well, her))
[23:52] <Nick_Varnegs> it WAS a rather large closet
[23:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((i guess her now))
[23:52] <Nick_Varnegs> many tools indeed... atleast for a hundred
[23:52] <Nick_Varnegs> or less
[23:52] <Nick_Varnegs> i didn't count them anyways
[23:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> That is quite a lot.
[23:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> It seems they have quite the capacity for organized labor then.
[23:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> That is a difference we should note!
[00:02] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Well, I do not think there is much to see here.
[00:02] <Tarane[K1K]> ((thing? soundz interesting))
[00:02] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I doubt the mines will illustrate anything terribly new considering they are also likely abandoned at the moment.
[00:02] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Actually, I am not sure I trust the structural integrity of the mineshafts after this collision
[00:02] <nick_varnegs> ((its the most awkward adorable messed up thing ever))
[00:02] <@Faerzen_Norstov> It is probably best to not investigate there at present. :/
[00:03] <nick_varnegs> we really should not test them then
[00:03] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Is there anything else here you which to investigate?
[00:04] <nick_varnegs> hmmm... there's not much else to see here
[00:04] <nick_varnegs> i think we should get going :)
[00:04] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Very well then, off we go!
[00:05]  * nick_varnegs wraps his wing around faerzen again
[00:05] <nick_varnegs> and there you go. all warm and cozy
[00:05]  * Faerzen_Norstov floats back up the stairs with Nick
[00:05] <@Faerzen_Norstov> :)
[00:06] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Shall we return outside?
[00:06] <nick_varnegs> i suppose so
[00:06] <nick_varnegs> should we visit the castle?
[00:06] <@Faerzen_Norstov> That does seem wise, yes.
[00:07] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I would like to explore a bit more around the streets here first, however.
[00:07] <nick_varnegs> hmm... lets go then
[00:07] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Perhaps there are interesting details we can pick up on that might provide some clues into what this Prospit is like.
[00:07] <nick_varnegs> as usual you provide to have the best plans
[00:08]  * Faerzen_Norstov begins strolling down the dusty street
[00:08] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Do you see anything interesting?
[00:08]  * nick_varnegs strolls down with faerzen, keeping her under the wing
[00:08] <@Faerzen_Norstov> roll 1d20+7 investigation to gather clues
[00:08] <`DICE> Faerzen_Norstov rolled 1d20+7 investigation to gather clues [ 1d20=16 ]{23}
[00:08] <nick_varnegs> not really... it seems to be mostly the same...
[00:09] <@Faerzen_Norstov> The architecture is very similar, yes....
[00:09] <@Faerzen_Norstov> If you look though, there are far fewer doors and adjacent buildings seem to be connected
[00:09] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Almost as though all of these small houses were actually one large building
[00:10] <nick_varnegs> the way the city is distributed seems to be similar though
[00:10] <@Faerzen_Norstov> There also seem to be a surprising lack of small shops
[00:10] <@Faerzen_Norstov> That is true
[00:10] <nick_varnegs> hmm... i wonder what is the deal with that
[00:11]  * Faerzen_Norstov walks over to one of the doors to a large building
[00:11]  * Faerzen_Norstov knocks
[00:11]  * nick_varnegs followsp
[00:11] <@Faerzen_Norstov> This looks like a row of houses....
[00:11] <@Faerzen_Norstov> But those do not have doors!
[00:11]  * Faerzen_Norstov points at adjacent houses
[00:11] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Well then
[00:11]  * Faerzen_Norstov opens door
[00:12] <nick_varnegs> ...they seem... way more... focused on efficiency
[00:12] <@Faerzen_Norstov> <Inside is what looks like a large dormitory with long halls. some parts of the ceiling are caved in>
[00:12]  * nick_varnegs looks around and enters with faerzen
[00:12] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Well, I think you are correct on that assessment, Nick.
[00:12] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Well done.
[00:13] <nick_varnegs> yay
[00:13] <@Faerzen_Norstov> It seems almost like everyone is all boxed in here.
[00:13] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Do you remember exploring the other Prospit during the festival?
[00:13] <nick_varnegs> hmmm... yeah... everything seemed more far apart
[00:13] <@Faerzen_Norstov> There were people waving from their second story windows, people had front porches, there were little neighborhood shops celebrating the bread festival
[00:13] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, things were spread out too
[00:14] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I don't see anything like that here. :/
[00:14] <nick_varnegs> :/
[00:14] <@Faerzen_Norstov> How would Prospitians even consent to live in these?
[00:15] <nick_varnegs> its like they were living like... if they were a family
[00:15] <nick_varnegs> a big weird family
[00:15] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Hmmmm
[00:15] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Hopefully we will find a Prospitian somewhere that we can talk to
[00:15] <@Faerzen_Norstov> That is something else, there is a surprising lack of them around here!
[00:15] <nick_varnegs> do you know any better examples?
[00:15] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Like they all just cleared out at the same time.
[00:15] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Our Prospit was chaos!
[00:16] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Everyone was going every which way.
[00:16] <nick_varnegs> hmmm
[00:16] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Perhaps the castle will hold more answers?
[00:16] <nick_varnegs> acting like one?
[00:16] <nick_varnegs> perhaps? maybe?
[00:17] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I think it is hard to jump to too many conclusions about their behavior without meeting any.
[00:17] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Looking at some shops and houses is hardly enough to tell you a Prospitian's life story.
[00:17] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Though it does provide quite a bit of insight.
[00:17] <nick_varnegs> well... good point
[00:18]  * nick_varnegs pulls faerzen just a little closer under the wing
[00:18] <nick_varnegs> all warm in there?
[00:18] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, I am quite comfortable :)
[00:19]  * Faerzen_Norstov looks around at the oily black, shiny feathers surrounding her and her wings
[00:19] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Our feathers really are quite contrasting, aren't they?
[00:19] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I don't believe I've ever seen them so close up against one another to compare.
[00:20] <nick_varnegs> we are quite contrasting in many ways
[00:23] <@Faerzen_Norstov> That is true. :)
[00:23]  * Faerzen_Norstov giggles
[00:23]  * nick_varnegs pulls faerzen just a bit closer
[00:23] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Ooh! :)
[00:24] <nick_varnegs> its incredible if you think about it :)
[00:24] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Hmm?
[00:25] <nick_varnegs> well... we constrast in A LOT of ways.
[00:25] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Such as....?
[00:25] <nick_varnegs> but we are so close to each other now...
[00:25] <nick_varnegs> well... you plan ahead.
[00:25] <nick_varnegs> you are from the future
[00:26] <nick_varnegs> you are... way smarter than i
[00:27] <nick_varnegs> you are thinner
[00:27] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I thought this would happen. It's why I asked you to elaborate!
[00:27] <@Faerzen_Norstov> You are doing an excellent job at selling yourself short here, Nick!
[00:28] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I already do quite the job of complimenting myself. Let me hear you have something good to say about yourself for once!
[00:28] <nick_varnegs> oh c'mon, i have quite some things for myself too! otherwise you wouldnt be in here with me ;)
[00:28] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I don't think I've ever heard you say something positive about your character or personality. Only fear and regret.
[00:28] <nick_varnegs> well... im passionate
[00:28] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Come on, let me hear it :)
[00:28] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Good! That's a start :)
[00:28] <nick_varnegs> oh well...
[00:29] <nick_varnegs> im a good chef?
[00:29] <nick_varnegs> i guess i can be romantic when i want to?
[00:29]  * Faerzen_Norstov winks
[00:30]  * nick_varnegs smirks
[00:30] <nick_varnegs> what else?
[00:31] <nick_varnegs> my wings are warm? i... know some things
[00:31] <nick_varnegs> what else faerzen? help me out here!
[00:31] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Do I have to? This is supposed to be an exercise for you!
[00:32]  * nick_varnegs puts his arm around faerzen
[00:32] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Not to say I don't have a torrent of compliments prepared. :)
[00:32] <nick_varnegs> oh well? can i hear atleast one?
[00:32] <@Faerzen_Norstov> You care very intensely about the well-being of others!
[00:33] <@Faerzen_Norstov> You go out of your way all the time to make sure that others are okay and to help them out. :)
[00:33] <@Faerzen_Norstov> You are very creative
[00:33] <nick_varnegs> you have a good point there
[00:33] <@Faerzen_Norstov> You aren't afraid to do what you think needs to be done
[00:34] <@Faerzen_Norstov> You are very willing to put yourself in harms way to protect others
[00:34] <@Faerzen_Norstov> You are perseverant and encouraging
[00:34] <@Faerzen_Norstov> You are polite
[00:34]  * nick_varnegs lets out a breath and pulls faerzen even closer
[00:34] <@Faerzen_Norstov> usually
[00:34] <@Faerzen_Norstov> well
[00:34] <@Faerzen_Norstov> okay, sometimes
[00:35] <@Faerzen_Norstov> :P
[00:35]  * nick_varnegs gives a small laught
[00:35] <nick_varnegs> you know faerzen... i felt like i needed that
[00:36] <nick_varnegs> like i REALLY needed that :)
[00:36]  * nick_varnegs gives faerzen a quick kiss on her cheek again
[00:37] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I told you so!
[00:37] <@Faerzen_Norstov> You need to start seeing some good things inside yourself
[00:37]  * Faerzen_Norstov pokes Nick
[00:37] <nick_varnegs> well... am i a good kisser then? ;)
[00:37]  * Faerzen_Norstov rolls her eyes
[00:38]  * nick_varnegs laughts a little
[00:38] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I can't say I'm blown away. You'll just need to try harder. ;) That.... or I need to increase my sample size.
[00:38]  * Faerzen_Norstov giggles
[00:38] <@Faerzen_Norstov> That was a joke, by the way.
[00:39] <nick_varnegs> heh. i caught on you silly
[00:39] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Just making sure!
[00:39]  * nick_varnegs passionately pulls faerzen into a kiss
[00:39] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Whoaaah--
[00:40]  * Faerzen_Norstov returns kiss
[00:40]  * nick_varnegs kisses passionately
[00:40]  * nick_varnegs slowly breaks the kiss apart after a few moments
[00:41]  * Faerzen_Norstov stands there, rather stunned
[00:41] <nick_varnegs> there you go. how's that for a harder attempt?
[00:41] <@Faerzen_Norstov> W-well... then
[00:41] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Th-that was... something
[00:41] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I can't say I have ever done that before
[00:41] <nick_varnegs> ...oh. something wrong?
[00:41] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Well, that intense, at least :)
[00:41] <nick_varnegs> too much?
[00:41] <@Faerzen_Norstov> No, nothing is wrong!
[00:42] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Just a bit unexpected :P
[00:42] <@Faerzen_Norstov> It was wonderful :)
[00:42] <nick_varnegs> oh c'mon, as if it wasnt expected ;)
[00:42] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I... uh... well I was not terribly physical in my previous relationship so this is just something new to get used to. :)
[00:43] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I like it
[00:43] <nick_varnegs> oh, i never was in a "previous one" so...
[00:43] <nick_varnegs> this is mostly new for me too
[00:44]  * nick_varnegs smiles
[00:45]  * Faerzen_Norstov smiles back
[00:45] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Well, it is a good thing these streets are deserted, else we would have put on quite the show just now!
[00:45] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Shall we be on our way?
[00:46] <nick_varnegs> sure thing :)
[00:46] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I don't believe anyone is around here for us to talk to.
[00:47] <nick_varnegs> hmmm... a carapacian would be a good source of information
[00:50]  * Faerzen_Norstov holds out her harm for Nick to take
[00:50] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Lead on then, my good sir!
[00:51]  * nick_varnegs takes faerzen's arm, wing still wrapped
[00:51] <nick_varnegs> you have gotten used to being lead, havent you? ;)
[00:52]  * nick_varnegs exits the... block of houses
[00:52] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Being lead? Well, only to the places I want to go, you goof!
[00:52]  * Faerzen_Norstov ruffles Nick's hair
[00:53] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Besides, we're members of the Royal Court.
[00:53]  * nick_varnegs laughts as his hair is ruffled
[00:53] <@Faerzen_Norstov> It is our duty to be unnecessarily proper.
[00:53] <nick_varnegs> i cqnt say the queen has been
[00:53] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Note that I didn't say polite, I said proper.
[00:53] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Despite her rudeness, she was very regal and formal.
[00:54] <nick_varnegs> ...good point
[00:54]  * nick_varnegs nods
[00:54] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Now that you mention it, perhaps it would be best if we rearranged ourselves here.
[00:54] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Here, can you put your wings back?
[00:55]  * nick_varnegs walks down  the street
[00:55] <nick_varnegs> oh. sure :)
[00:55]  * nick_varnegs dewraps his wing
[00:55]  * Faerzen_Norstov wraps her wing around Nick
[00:55] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Given the black background, I don't want it to seem like we are a ball of black attempting to sneak up!
[00:55] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Who knows what the queen might think of that.
[00:56] <nick_varnegs> oh? but what about the cold!
[00:57] <@Faerzen_Norstov> We'll be okay! I've got you next to me to keep me warm :)
[00:57] <nick_varnegs> you were so warm! this is so warm and soft!
[00:58] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I do like my feathers, yes :)
[00:58] <nick_varnegs> i do like them too to be honest
[00:58] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Well, duh! That's not new information. :)
[00:59] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I do believe we quite knew that already. :P
[00:59] <nick_varnegs> it may not be, but is a nice thing to say ;)
[01:00]  * Faerzen_Norstov sighs
[01:00] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I forgot how long these chains are.
[01:00]  * nick_varnegs takes a deep... sniff of the feathers
[01:00] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Oh?
[01:00] <@Faerzen_Norstov> What.... do they smell like?
[01:01] <nick_varnegs> ... oh shit. sorry that was impolite :o
[01:01] <@Faerzen_Norstov> No, it wasn't! It was just...... odd.
[01:02] <nick_varnegs> well, they have... that nice and warm faerzen... personal smell.
[01:03] <nick_varnegs> sorry for smelling you without your permission :/
[01:03] <nick_varnegs> dear god that phrase.
[01:06]  * Faerzen_Norstov smiles awkwardly
[01:09] <nick_varnegs_> so... sorry for smelling you. that was too weird
[01:09] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Ummm, it's okay
[01:09] <nick_varnegs_> are you sure? i shouldnt do that sorts of stuff
[01:10] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Well, I have to admit it is rather odd.
[01:10] <@Faerzen_Norstov> But that doesn't mean you should strike it entirely from your personality and desires.
[01:10] <@Faerzen_Norstov> We are all a bit odd sometimes.
[01:11] <nick_varnegs_> well. you DO smell like cinnamon and mint
[01:11]  * Faerzen_Norstov blushes
[01:11] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Well..... uh.... I honestly don't know.... why that would be
[01:11] <@Faerzen_Norstov> That seems such an.... arbitrary combination of scents
[01:11] <nick_varnegs_> ((bam. i made that canon even though you didnt even want to))
[01:12] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I've never ever showered in this body before!
[01:12] <nick_varnegs_> well.. to be fair only the deep part of your wings do
[01:12]  * Faerzen_Norstov blushes even harder
[01:13] <@Faerzen_Norstov> What is..... that supposed to mean?
[01:13] <nick_varnegs_> ... that i have... smelled you before without your permission?
[01:14] <nick_varnegs_> ...you... you smell just like you would expect a girl version of you would do
[01:14]  * nick_varnegs_ blushes
[01:14] <nick_varnegs_> ill just shut up.
[01:15] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Wait, what?
[01:15] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I'm not sure I follow
[01:15] <@Faerzen_Norstov> You've... smelled me before?
[01:15] <nick_varnegs_> i have just caught your scent during our close moments
[01:16] <nick_varnegs_> that's all
[01:16] <@Faerzen_Norstov> ....okay then.
[01:17]  * Faerzen_Norstov kind of avoids eye contact with Nick
[01:17] <nick_varnegs_> look. breathing really close to someone makes you catch their scent! okay? its just
[01:17] <@Faerzen_Norstov> No, I get it!
[01:17] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I... think
[01:18]  * nick_varnegs_ covers his face with his hands and begins laughting
[01:18]  * Faerzen_Norstov looks very perplexedly at Nick
[01:18] <@Faerzen_Norstov> What?
[01:19] <nick_varnegs_> *muffled laught noises*
[01:21]  * nick_varnegs_ pecks a kiss to faerzen's cheek and keeps laughting
[01:22] <nick_varnegs_> this didnt go as expected
[01:23] <@Faerzen_Norstov> How were you expecting it to go?
[01:23] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Suddenly take a big whiff of someone's wings and then comment on how you've mapped out where and what odors they have?
[01:23] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I'm sorry for being caught off guard then!
[01:25] <nick_varnegs> ...
[01:25] <nick_varnegs> you know im bad for wording myself :c
[01:25] <@Faerzen_Norstov> ?
[01:25] <nick_varnegs> i was going to compliment your... scent
[01:25] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I'm not particularly sure how wording changes any of that :P
[01:25] <nick_varnegs> but... it went weird really fast
[01:26] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, it rather did, thank you for admitting :)
[01:26] <nick_varnegs> well... it would have been less awkward for sure ;)
[01:26] == nick_varnegs_ [webchat@181.172.139.180] has quit [Ping timeout: 204 seconds]
[01:27] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I'll.... take your word for it
[01:27] <@Faerzen_Norstov> :)
[01:28] <nick_varnegs> heh :)
[01:29] <nick_varnegs> c'mon, just pull me closer so we both are cozy and warm
[01:30]  * Faerzen_Norstov pulls Nick closer with her white and gold wings
[01:30] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Here we are, we're almost there!
[01:31]  * nick_varnegs smiles  as he is wrapped with feathers
[01:31] <nick_varnegs> oh right! i hope the royalty here is more polite
[01:32] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Hopefully they shall receive us well.
[01:32] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Do you want to touch down a short ways away from the castle?
[01:32] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Perhaps we can talk to several Prospitians before entering the castle.
[01:32] <nick_varnegs> that seems like a nice idea
[01:33] <Tarane[K1K]> ((RIP Nick and Faerzen))
[01:33] <nick_varnegs> oh. there's something i was wondering about our wings, let me check something really quick?
[01:33] <@Faerzen_Norstov> ...yes?
[01:34] <nick_varnegs> dont worry, its just a small thing
[01:35]  * nick_varnegs puts his hand up between the feathers up until the muscles that hold the wing
[01:36] <@Faerzen_Norstov> ((what does that mean? I'm having a hard time picturing what you mean))
[01:37] <nick_varnegs> ((im touching the actual like... arm part of the wing. like the extension of the thing that holds the feathers))
[01:37] <nick_varnegs> ((because its basically an arm. remember the drawing?))
[01:37] <@Faerzen_Norstov> ((oh, okay))
[01:38] <@Faerzen_Norstov> ((wasn't sure what you meant by muscles that hold the wing. that makes sense))
[01:38] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Ooh! That.... feels strange.
[01:38] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Are you... looking for something?
[01:38]  * nick_varnegs keeps feeling around
[01:38] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I feel almost like you are reaching your arm inside me!
[01:39] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I mean, you sort of are, but it is feathers
[01:39] <nick_varnegs> well... the part that holds everything together?
[01:39] <nick_varnegs> just a second.
[01:39] <@Faerzen_Norstov> What... ow... what about it?
[01:39] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Careful with those feathers :)
[01:39]  * nick_varnegs touches the tip of those muscles
[01:40] <nick_varnegs> oh sorry, does it hurt?
[01:40] <@Faerzen_Norstov> No, you just snagged a ffffffffffffff
[01:40] <@Faerzen_Norstov> oooh
[01:40] <@Faerzen_Norstov> that....
[01:40] <nick_varnegs> i wanted to see where they end--
[01:40] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I'm not entirely sure how to describe that
[01:40]  * nick_varnegs quickly retracts hand
[01:40] <@Faerzen_Norstov> That was very odd
[01:40] <@Faerzen_Norstov> No, it's okay
[01:40] <@Faerzen_Norstov> You don't need to freak out!
[01:41] <Rouge_Sinna> < Jesus fuck this has been going on for 5 hours >
[01:41]  * nick_varnegs is blushing
[01:41] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I've never felt anything back there before so I was just surprised!
[01:41] <nick_varnegs> ((holy shit))
[01:41] <@Faerzen_Norstov> ((on and off, we took breaks!))
[01:41] <@Faerzen_Norstov> ((I went and made soup))
[01:41] <Rouge_Sinna> < And you are only now getting to the Winssages >
[01:41] <Rouge_Sinna> < smh >
[01:42] <@Faerzen_Norstov> ((we're almost at the castle so we'll have to stop soon))
[01:42] <nick_varnegs> its was just like skin. but... it felt very warm and i could feel your heartbeat even there
[01:42] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Oh really?
[01:43] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I would imagine the skin would be thinner there since it is protected by all of the feathers.
[01:43] <nick_varnegs> it seemed like it. i could clearly feel blood vessels
[01:45] <@Faerzen_Norstov> ...Intriguing.
[01:45] <nick_varnegs> havent you noticed that? our... heartbeats seem to go at a higher pace since  we grew these
[01:46] <@Faerzen_Norstov> No, I haven't noticed.
[01:46]  * nick_varnegs begins fixing faerzen's feathers
[01:47] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Are you sure it isn't because of.... something else related to wings? ;)
[01:47] <nick_varnegs> there we go. much better
[01:47] <nick_varnegs> oh dear
[01:48]  * nick_varnegs blushes a little harder
[01:48] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Not only do you seem to like being around wings, but you also tend to be more physically active when you use your wings to fly
[01:48] <@Faerzen_Norstov> You didn't used to flap wings when flying around Prospit, but now you do, so that can get your blood pumping!
[01:48]  * Faerzen_Norstov looks at Nick confusedly
[01:48] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Oh!
[01:48] <@Faerzen_Norstov> No, no, no.
[01:48] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I didn't mean that!
[01:48]  * Faerzen_Norstov facepalms
[01:49] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Apologies, I should have phrased my sentence there more appropriately.
[01:49]  * nick_varnegs gives a small laught
[01:49] <nick_varnegs> you even winked!
[01:49] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I was just referring to the fact that you like wings!
[01:49] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Not.... *that*
[01:49] <nick_varnegs> ...
[01:50]  * nick_varnegs clears his throat
[01:51] <nick_varnegs> you have to admit that these are magnificent, you look just like an angel
[01:51]  * Faerzen_Norstov smiles
[01:51] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, I dare say I do! I quite like it. :)
[01:51]  * nick_varnegs smiles back
[01:52] <@Faerzen_Norstov> ((oh geez I completely forgot ability score improvement and skills when I levelled up. SUCH BONUS))
[01:52] <nick_varnegs> ((bonuses! woo!))
[01:53] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Is there anything else about my wings you wanted to.... investigate before we touch down?
[01:53] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I would prefer further experiments not be performed in the middle of a crowd. :)
[01:54] <nick_varnegs> im not wondering much... for now
[01:55] <nick_varnegs> well... im wondering how differet yours are from mine
[01:55] <@Faerzen_Norstov> In what regards?
[01:56] <nick_varnegs> i think it may just be my imagination but mine seem to be more... sensitive
[01:56] <nick_varnegs> and... well... black
[01:56] <nick_varnegs> tougher maybe?
[01:57] <nick_varnegs> and sorry. but they are warmer than yours
[01:57] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Interesting.
[01:57] <@Faerzen_Norstov> As for the first point,
[01:58] <@Faerzen_Norstov> You may be correct. It is also possible though that you are simply less used to such senses.
[01:58] <@Faerzen_Norstov> As for the second point,
[01:58] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Yes!
[01:58] <@Faerzen_Norstov> As for the third,
[01:58]  * nick_varnegs awkwardly looks around
[01:58] <@Faerzen_Norstov> How do you mean?
[01:58] <@Faerzen_Norstov> As for the fourth,
[01:58] <nick_varnegs> your feathers are softer
[01:59] <@Faerzen_Norstov> That is interesting. I haven't particularly paid much attention to that detail.
[01:59] <nick_varnegs> oh really?
[02:00] <nick_varnegs> and havent you noticed how they pull the muscles of your sides when you point them upwards?
[02:00] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Being from Norway, I have never particularly been terribly susceptible to cold so I haven't noticed their warmth too terribly much.
[02:00] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, I have noticed that bit.
[02:00] <@Faerzen_Norstov> That feels a little bit strange.
[02:01] <nick_varnegs> it indeed does
[02:01] <nick_varnegs> wanna know why i like wings so much in first place?
[02:01] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Well yes, actually!
[02:01] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I very much would. :)
[02:02] <nick_varnegs> as a child, i always liked watching the birds. how much freedom they had
[02:02] <nick_varnegs> they flew without a care in the world
[02:02] <nick_varnegs> they... were free
[02:03] <nick_varnegs> and now. we have wings, but we are bound to so much responsability
[02:03] <nick_varnegs> ...its fascinating.
[02:03]  * Faerzen_Norstov sighs
[02:03] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Such is life, always bearing responsibility in our direction
[02:05]  * nick_varnegs leans a little into faerzen
[02:05] <nick_varnegs> ...
[02:06] <@Faerzen_Norstov> We can deal with it though.
[02:06] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I hope. :)
[02:07] <nick_varnegs> well... we have eachother... and everyone else :)
[02:08] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Blowing about on the wind on a whim is adventurous and fun and free, but having something you are tied to, a purpose, it gives you strength and a drive. A direction and a reason to travel.
[02:08] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Like each other :)
[02:08]  * nick_varnegs hugs faerzen
[02:09] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Well, it seems we have arrived!
[02:09] <nick_varnegs> there's just something about you that fills me with determination to keep going
[02:09]  * Faerzen_Norstov blushes
[02:09] <@Faerzen_Norstov> I'm glad to hear that :)
[02:09] <nick_varnegs> :)
[02:09] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Likewise for me :)
[02:10]  * nick_varnegs whispers "i love you" into faerzen's ear
[02:10]  * Faerzen_Norstov touches down gently on the ground, grandly unfurling her white and gold wings
[02:10]  * Faerzen_Norstov embraces Nick
[02:11]  * nick_varnegs embraces in responce
[02:11]  * Faerzen_Norstov slowly releases Nick
[02:12] <@Faerzen_Norstov> We've got some scouting to do now! Are you ready for an adventure? :D
[02:12]  * nick_varnegs slowly releases faerzen after a few seconds
[02:12] <nick_varnegs> as long as you are here im always ready
[02:12] <nick_varnegs> lets go, this will be fun :D
[02:12] <@Faerzen_Norstov> Onwards!
