  1. Faerzen_Norstov
  2. Oh, hello, Nick! I wasn't expecting to see you here! What a pleasant surprise! Ummmm, just a minute here, let me finish conversing with Byron.....
  3. <a bit later>
  4. Greetings!
  5. * Nick_Varnegs stands there confused
  6. Nick_Varnegs
  7. hi?
  8. * Faerzen_Norstov flies over and gives Nick a brief hug
  9. Faerzen_Norstov
  10. I was not expecting to meet you here too!!!
  11. Nick_Varnegs
  12. hey!
  13. ....
  14. wait a second miss!
  15. ... do i know you?
  16. Faerzen_Norstov
  17. It seems there's always another surprise waiting for you around the corner when you dream!
  18. Of course you do!
  19. Do you not remember?
  20. That would indeed be an intriguing turn of events.
  21. But also kind of funny! :D
  22. Nick_Varnegs
  23. yes! you are the girl that was in one of the towers!
  24. i left you a note
  25. so... who do i have the pleasure of meeting and from where do you know byron?
  26. Faerzen_Norstov
  27. Oh, you were the one that left that note, were you?
  28. I do suppose that verifies my theory. For Brain Ghost Nick, at least!
  29. Nick_Varnegs
  30. yes! i felt kind of like a creep watching you sleep so i left it there!
  31. Faerzen_Norstov
  32. I know Byron from before we started playing this game.
  33. Nick_Varnegs
  34. ... its not like i was watching
  35. Faerzen_Norstov
  36. I'm Faerzen!
  37. Nice to properly meet you face to face!
  38. Nick_Varnegs
  39. what?
  40. WHAT?!
  41. FAERZEN?!
  42. Faerzen_Norstov
  43. I suppose I've gotten plenty of opportunities to see you having adventures on my computer screen, but you've never actually met me!
  44. Nick_Varnegs
  45. exactly!
  46. i was really looking forward to meeting you and all that!
  47. Faerzen_Norstov
  48. Well then, here we are!
  49. Nick_Varnegs
  50. but... i suppose this is going to be a really weird question
  51. * Faerzen_Norstov extends hand for a handshake
  52. Nick_Varnegs
  53. weren't you a man?
  54. * Nick_Varnegs shakes hand
  55. Faerzen_Norstov
  56. Ah.
  57. * Nick_Varnegs pulls faerzen closer for another brief hug
  58. Faerzen_Norstov
  59. Well then.
  60. Ummmm, about that.
  61. Nick_Varnegs
  62. i- its not like it matters!
  63. * Nick_Varnegs blushes slightly
  64. Nick_Varnegs
  65. ...so... wat about that?
  66. Faerzen_Norstov
  67. I suppose the answer to your question is yes?
  68. I'm not particularly sure what my subconscious is trying to tell me by having me dream I am female!
  69. Nick_Varnegs
  70. ... dreaming?
  71. Faerzen_Norstov
  72. But I don't suppose it really matters too terribly much sine it is exactly that: a dream.
  73. Nick_Varnegs
  74. but im dreaming too
  75. Faerzen_Norstov
  76. Indeed!
  77. Well of course you are, silly! You're inside my head right now!
  78. Nick_Varnegs
  79. no im not
  80. Faerzen_Norstov
  81. I don't suppose you would have to be dreaming for that to be the case, but it isn't surprising
  82. Nick_Varnegs
  83. AND I CAN PROVE IT!
  84. Faerzen_Norstov
  85. *sigh*
  86. You too?
  87. Nick_Varnegs
  88. ...
  89. me too?
  90. Faerzen_Norstov
  91. I really do need to pick apart the few strands of logic in this dream when I wake up.
  92. Nick_Varnegs
  93. i suppose the other one was byron
  94. Faerzen_Norstov
  95. Brain Ghost Byron, as I've grown to like calling him, heehee :)
  96. He was also very insistent that he was real.
  97. Nick_Varnegs
  98. also, as i was saying, you are either MY dream, or you are not dreaming at all
  99. Faerzen_Norstov
  100. Oddly belligerent, even for Byron.
  101. Nick_Varnegs
  102. just remember to tell me something about this
  103. ... better yet! ill tell you something that only I would know!
  104. Faerzen_Norstov
  105. Whoa now, let's not go down that road! I don't want various fragments of my psyche working out with each other which half is having the dream and which half in inhabiting that dream!
  106. Only bad things could happen from there.
  107. Nick_Varnegs
  108. just... let it happen faerzen
  109. if i were you i would doubt every second in this place and the other
  110. Faerzen_Norstov
  111. But how do I know that real Nick would know what you're telling me? It's entirely likely that my brain is filling in gaps of knowledge with whatever occurs to it first.
  112. Nick_Varnegs
  113. you said something about floating islands and lights in your world
  114. Faerzen_Norstov
  115. It's a common occurrence in dreams!
  116. Yes, I did.
  117. Nick_Varnegs
  118. how is that less probable that this?
  119. Faerzen_Norstov
  120. Please, continue!
  121. I don't want to interrupt myself.
  122. ;)
  123. * Nick_Varnegs groans
  124. Nick_Varnegs
  125. you are not sleeping
  126. anyways...
  127. you see the scar that goes from the side of my face to the edge of my nose?
  128. want to know why it is there?
  129. its been there a long time... even in here, by some reason
  130. Faerzen_Norstov
  131. I do see it. I'm sure it involves a tale of great strife and pain!
  132. Nick_Varnegs
  133. i once got mugged, and that is all
  134. ask "real" me about it
  135. and see how real this is
  136. Faerzen_Norstov
  137. Ah, so you are taking the same approach as Brain Ghost Byron!
  138. Nick_Varnegs
  139. yes
  140. probably
  141. Faerzen_Norstov
  142. Fine, I accept your terms. I will find out when I wake up. :)
  143. Nick_Varnegs
  144. great
  145. :D
  146. anyways... what are you doing in here and where is that feline hellspawn?
  147. Faerzen_Norstov
  148. But I'm quite certain I'm dreaming! How else can you explain me falling asleep, "waking up" here, and then being able to control the world to a fantastical degree on my whim?
  149. * Nick_Varnegs remembers the cat and begins floating again
  150. Nick_Varnegs
  151. can you explain an entire world that seems out of a crazy writter's mind?
  152. maybe we are somehow SHARING a dream!
  153. Faerzen_Norstov
  154. Touche! :D
  155. Nick_Varnegs
  156. that seems awfully more probable than anything else
  157. Faerzen_Norstov
  158. I suppose a land full of floating bulbs and orbs is no less fantastical than this!
  159. Nick_Varnegs
  160. neither a million gloves trying to catch my arse and drag me back to a carnival
  161. Faerzen_Norstov
  162. I'm afraid I'm going to have to say I gleaned approximately zero in formation from whatever it is you just said!
  163. Nick_Varnegs
  164. long story
  165. Faerzen_Norstov
  166. You're making even less sense than usual!
  167. Oh?
  168. Nick_Varnegs
  169. really weird story
  170. Faerzen_Norstov
  171. Would you care to regale it to me in it's full confusing glory?
  172. Nick_Varnegs
  173. we'll talk about that later when we wake up
  174. i don't want to confuse you further
  175. so... who is he?
  176. Faerzen_Norstov
  177. Him?
  178. * Nick_Varnegs points at the guy sleeping
  179. Nick_Varnegs
  180. him
  181. * Faerzen_Norstov gestures over her shoulder at the bed
  182. * Nick_Varnegs floats over to him
  183. Nick_Varnegs
  184. so...
  185. Faerzen_Norstov
  186. I haven't the foggiest. I was hoping another fragment of myself that seems more ingrained in this dream world could inform me, but it appears you are determined not to play that role! :P
  187. He seems very soundly asleep.
  188. I figured waking another portion of my subconscious to converse with would be interesting, but no I have no need for that since you arrived!
  189. Nick_Varnegs
  190. for the last time faerzen, i am not dream anything!
  191. Faerzen_Norstov
  192. Maybe he represents the part of myself that I try to pretend isn't there?
  193. * Nick_Varnegs frowns slightly
  194. Faerzen_Norstov
  195. That would make sense.
  196. Nick_Varnegs
  197. interesting observation
  198. still im wondering why you are a woman though
  199. * Nick_Varnegs whispers "a pretty one at that"
  200. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  201. < OTP >
  202. ProcyonA
  203. ((same))
  204. Faerzen_Norstov
  205. It is because I'm dreaming, and since the universe often likes to play cruel jokes on me, I suppose my subconscious decided to jump on the bandwagon!
  206. Nick_Varnegs
  207. ((one sided crush i think))
  208. oh.
  209. Faerzen_Norstov
  210. <Faerzen doesn't appear to react to your whisper>
  211. Nick_Varnegs
  212. nice theory
  213. ((good))
  214. anyways... have you seen the shell people?
  215. Faerzen_Norstov
  216. No, are they some other constructs in this world?
  217. I was just going to inquire about the rest of this place!
  218. It all seems so exciting!!! :D
  219. Nick_Varnegs
  220. exactly! they are so adorable!
  221. * Faerzen_Norstov flies out the window
  222. Nick_Varnegs
  223. :D
  224. * Nick_Varnegs quickly follows
  225. Faerzen_Norstov
  226. Do these other globes contain other sleeping people???
  227. * Faerzen_Norstov flies in an exaggerated loop to the next globe
  228. * Nick_Varnegs yells "YES THEY DO"
  229. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  230. <One second>
  231. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  232. <Do you head back towards Roo's Tower in the direction Faerzen was going, or in the direction Nick was going?
  233. >
  234. Nick_Varnegs
  235. ((following faerzen))
  236. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  237. In the room lies a potted plant on the window-sill and a deal with a computer on it, as well as a small note
  238. Faerzen_Norstov
  239. ((I'm heading to whatever tower is next in line that isn't back to mine))
  240. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  241. A young female rests in the bed
  242. * Faerzen_Norstov floats over to the note to read it
  243. * Nick_Varnegs pokes girl
  244. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  245. It reads the exact same as the note you found in your room Faerzen
  246. There is no response from the girl
  247. Nick_Varnegs
  248. ah yeah, i forgot to tell you, i visisted every tower
  249. Faerzen_Norstov
  250. Awwwww, did you leave these notes for everyone? That's so..... you!
  251. Nick_Varnegs
  252. also... i guess she wont be waking up
  253. sadly :(
  254. ...
  255. Faerzen_Norstov
  256. No, I don't think I would want more than one other fragment of myself active at once. As soon as you showed up, the Byron one quieted down and faded away, so while you're here I don't think she will be waking.
  257. Nick_Varnegs
  258. ... so... me?
  259. byron quieted down?
  260. i know why he did!
  261. Faerzen_Norstov
  262. It just seems like something you would do!
  263. You're always so..... what's the word?
  264. Nick_Varnegs
  265. well.. i did it so...
  266. me?
  267. Faerzen_Norstov
  268. Quaint?
  269. Which I suppose makes sense given you're literally from the Age of Quaintness
  270. Nick_Varnegs
  271. quaint?
  272. Faerzen_Norstov
  273. But that doesn't make it any less funny!
  274. Nick_Varnegs
  275. hehehehehehehehe
  276. :P
  277. i suppose you could describe me as that
  278. have you seen the castle?
  279. Faerzen_Norstov
  280. So what is your explanation for why Byron decided to quiet down for once?
  281. Since you're so set on my dream not actually being a dream >:(
  282. Nick_Varnegs
  283. he probably went to sleep
  284. or he is raging too hard
  285. last tie i left him in a room without exits...
  286. i suppose that was kinda irresponsible
  287. Faerzen_Norstov
  288. Yes, he was quite irked at that!
  289. It did make him much more conducive to prolonged conversation though. That was nice!
  290. Nick_Varnegs
  291. remind me to add a doorway... or a trapdoor
  292. good old byron
  293. Faerzen_Norstov
  294. It really is quite entertaining to see how my subconscious caricatures everyone!
  295. Nick_Varnegs
  296. did you know he choked an ogre with his own genitals?
  297. Faerzen_Norstov
  298. Even I feel different being here!
  299. ....
  300. Nick_Varnegs
  301. the ogre's i mean
  302. Faerzen_Norstov
  303. Yes.
  304. I ensured that that topic was discussed no more than very briefly though, hahaha!
  305. Nick_Varnegs
  306. oh.
  307. sorry for reminding thee of that
  308. Faerzen_Norstov
  309. See there it is again!
  310. "thee"
  311. Heeheehee!
  312. You can be such a dork sometimes! :)
  313. * Nick_Varnegs smiles awkwardly at faerzen
  314. Faerzen_Norstov
  315. Anyways, this is really really boring
  316. We should go exploring!
  317. You said you had a castle and shell people to show me?
  318. That sounds EXCITING!
  319. Nick_Varnegs
  320. that was what i was going to suggest!
  321. here! i know the perfect place!
  322. Faerzen_Norstov
  323. Lead the way!
  324. * Nick_Varnegs grabs faerzen and flies extremely fast trough the golden streets until they are finally close to the castle
  325. * Nick_Varnegs slows down
  326. Nick_Varnegs
  327. sorry
  328. Faerzen_Norstov
  329. OH!
  330. Nick_Varnegs
  331. i got a little carried away
  332. Faerzen_Norstov
  333. I don't think you were the one that got carried away in that case!
  334. I do believe I got quite literally carried away there!
  335. Nick_Varnegs
  336. hehehehehehehe...
  337. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  338. <That does mean you went down to Prospit>
  339. Faerzen_Norstov
  340. Where are we?
  341. Nick_Varnegs
  342. (exactly)
  343. i have no idea
  344. i was going to wake up before reaching this place last time
  345. so i kinda hurried just in case
  346. i suppose this mustbe a place of royalty?
  347. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  348. A couple of white shelled creatures bow in the corners of your vision
  349. Faerzen_Norstov
  350. That does tend to be what castles are for!
  351. Wouldn't you be the one to know that, silly?
  352. * Faerzen_Norstov waves back at them!
  353. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  354. You must've not seen them earlier due to the exhilaration of flying
  355. * Nick_Varnegs waves at shell people
  356. * Faerzen_Norstov dashes over to the pair of them
  357. Faerzen_Norstov
  358. Greetings! And who might you be?
  359. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  360. The creatures explain that they are citizens of Prospit, the planet you are currently inhabiting
  361. Faerzen_Norstov
  362. <over her shoulder to Nick, "Awwww, they're so adorable!">
  363. Nick_Varnegs
  364. i know right!
  365. Faerzen_Norstov
  366. Do you know who the other people in those globes are?
  367. * Nick_Varnegs goes to greet the carapacians
  368. * Faerzen_Norstov points to the spires with globes on the other side of the chain
  369. Faerzen_Norstov
  370. They seemed quite solidly asleep when I visited them... :(
  371. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  372. The creatures explain to your highnesses that those are the resting places of the other members of the Royal Court
  373. Faerzen_Norstov
  374. (gesturing to herself and Nick) Oh, so does that imply that we are members of the royal court as well?
  375. Nick_Varnegs
  376. ...
  377. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  378. The Prospitians affirm this
  379. Faerzen_Norstov
  380. Oh, what a pleasant surprise! :D
  381. Nick_Varnegs
  382. so... royalty huh?
  383. interesting
  384. i wonder what that means
  385. want to enter the castle?
  386. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  387. <I gtg in 10 minutes, but we can continue this as long as you want>
  388. Faerzen_Norstov
  389. <to Nick, "Oh great! This is the third time my subconscious has called myself an egomaniac. Making myself and my fragments royalty in a land of gold? Seriously? Can it get more blatant than that???">
  390. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  391. <over the break>
  392. Faerzen_Norstov
  393. Yes, let's!
  394. Nick_Varnegs
  395. <to faerzen, for the last time, you are not sleeping!>
  396. Faerzen_Norstov
  397. Let's see you exercise those "quaint skills" of yours. ;)
  398. * Faerzen_Norstov extends arm to be escorted inside.
  399. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  400. Two guards, mostly for show you presume, stand beside the massive doors leading to the castle entrance
  401. *Doors leading into the castle
  402. Faerzen_Norstov
  403. Stumbling over your politeness again, Nick? Don't leave my arm hanging here!
  404. Pull yourself together. We're royalty now! :D Time to straighten up and act like it!
  405. No more of your usual embarrassed confusion, okay? Perk up! :)
  406. * Faerzen_Norstov grabs Nick's hand and walks inside
  407. * Nick_Varnegs gets pulled by faerzen
  408. Nick_Varnegs
  409. hey!
  410. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  411. <So R00D Aberrant>
  412. <The guards give a slight nod/quarter now as you pass into the open doors
  413. Nick_Varnegs
  414. alright... thou want to see a quaint gentleman? ill show thee finnesse l
  415. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  416. <I might have to throw some crap in your way to prevent you meeting the white queen, due to my improv skills being bad and coordination issues with Andres>
  417. * Nick_Varnegs lets go of faerzen's hand and fixes his hair, puts one hand behind his back and offers the hand again
  418. Nick_Varnegs
  419. may i?
  420. Faerzen_Norstov
  421. Oh! Well then, of course!
  422. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  423. <He is... The most smooth man in the world>
  424. * Faerzen_Norstov extends arm and takes Nick's hand
  425. Nick_Varnegs
  426. ((so smooth im going slip))
  427. Faerzen_Norstov
  428. ((slip and fall like Byron, lol))
  429. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  430. you enter the golden reception chamber a lovely array of furniture and benches greating you
  431. Nick_Varnegs
  432. now, oh royal sentinels, we request a meeting with thine queen and king
  433. such a lovely room, don't you think?
  434. Faerzen_Norstov
  435. <to Nick, "Oh, aiming straight for the top? How... bold! ;) >
  436. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  437. <You wanna talk to the guards or no?>
  438. Nick_Varnegs
  439. ((yes, and i remember that we cant see the queen))
  440. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  441. The guards gladly bid you enter, and that the receptionist should be able to direct you to a meeting with the Queen shortly
  442. *And explain that
  443. Nick_Varnegs
  444. i suppose she must be busy with royal business?
  445. a floating world of gold must be hard to maintain don't you think faerzen?
  446. Faerzen_Norstov
  447. We should ask the receptionist to find out!
  448. Nick_Varnegs
  449. great idea!
  450. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  451. The Queen, you learn from the guards, is currently in session with several commoners taking suggestions for new laws and bills and policies and such
  452. Faerzen_Norstov
  453. I can't imagine how different it must Floating worlds with impossibly crammed buildings and beautiful architecture? I applaud those who work to make this place run!
  454. *it must be. Floating
  455. Oh, what a shame! :(
  456. Pardon me, but could you inform me as to who the other members of the royal court are?
  457. The guards out front implied there were others, but I can't say I've had the pleasure of meeting them!
  458. Nick_Varnegs
  459. and of any other interesting activities we could perform in the castle?
  460. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  461. <Uhh... Quick, improv shit!>
  462. Nick_Varnegs
  463. maybe there's an art gallery somewhere around?
  464. Faerzen_Norstov
  465. ((awwwwww yeah. Time to break out the mad DM skillz, AT!))
  466. Nick_Varnegs
  467. ((AT BEST DM))
  468. Faerzen_Norstov
  469. ((true 'dat))
  470. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
  471. The guards explain that they are not particularly well versed in the intricacies of the political court, which you understand to mean that they have no idea
  472. Nick_Varnegs
  473. oh.
  474. Nick_Varnegs
  475. excuse us... again, is there any other interesting thing in this golden castle?
  476. ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]
