  1. [17:24] <Nick_Varnegs> hmm?
  2. [17:24] <Nick_Varnegs> faerzen?
  3. [17:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> <you see Faerzen crumpled in a ball on the ground>
  4. [17:25] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
  5. [17:25] <Nick_Varnegs> faerzen
  6. [17:26] <Nick_Varnegs> you look like you need some help
  7. [17:26] * Nick_Varnegs extends hand
  8. [17:26] * Faerzen_Norstov stands up, untangling her skirt/dress thing and waving away the concerned Prospitians
  9. [17:26] * Faerzen_Norstov turns around as if looking for something, and then jumps upon seeing Nick floating right above her.
  10. [17:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh!
  11. [17:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hello!
  12. [17:27] <Nick_Varnegs> hello
  13. [17:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> What a coincidence meeting you here!
  14. [17:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> We seem to have quite the.... synchronized sleep schedule.
  15. [17:27] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
  16. [17:27] <Nick_Varnegs> right...
  17. [17:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> How.... have you been?
  18. [17:28] <Nick_Varnegs> ... i think we already discussed that faerzen, id prefer to not indulge into my mind any further
  19. [17:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, I wasn't trying to pry into that again!
  20. [17:28] <Nick_Varnegs> for it seems that quite some things are stored in there
  21. [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> oh.
  22. [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> sorry
  23. [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> i have been... well, quite good in here
  24. [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> its quiet
  25. [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> pretty
  26. [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> and all that
  27. [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> are you having trouble flying? it seems like it
  28. [17:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> Approximately how long have you been conscious here? I only just woke up!
  29. [17:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> Ah.
  30. [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> a couple minutes
  31. [17:30] <Nick_Varnegs> i think we went to sleep aproximately at the same time
  32. [17:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> It seems now that I know this place is technically a dream but mostly a real location, it's much less natural for my subconscious to try and manipulate my dream!
  33. [17:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> OW!
  34. [17:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> (shit), that really hurt.
  35. [17:30] <Nick_Varnegs> look
  36. [17:31] <Nick_Varnegs> dont "manipulate" your dream
  37. [17:31] <Nick_Varnegs> just let it happen faerzen
  38. [17:31] <Nick_Varnegs> if you dont doubt the fact that you can fly it will happen by itself
  39. [17:31] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
  40. [17:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> I.... suppose that is more like what dreams are supposed to be like?
  41. [17:31] <Nick_Varnegs> yes
  42. [17:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> ....... last time I just let things happen though........
  43. [17:32] <Nick_Varnegs> who cares if part of you is an egomaniacal control freak?
  44. [17:32] <Nick_Varnegs> its part of you after all
  45. [17:32] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
  46. [17:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> .....
  47. [17:32] <Nick_Varnegs> you have been fixing that skirt for quite a while, what is wrong?
  48. [17:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> ..... yes, I suppose you are correct there.
  49. [17:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, this?
  50. [17:33] <Nick_Varnegs> ah right... i will suppose you are not that comfortable with being a girl anymore?
  51. [17:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> When I was flailing around on my most unpleasant trajectory straight towards the ground, it got all tangled around my legs!
  52. [17:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> The stupid thing! If I just had a pair of shorts, this would never be an issue.
  53. [17:34] <Nick_Varnegs> shorts you say?
  54. [17:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> But alas, there isn't much I can do about it now.
  55. [17:34] <Nick_Varnegs> come with me
  56. [17:34] * Nick_Varnegs begins flying towards his tower
  57. [17:34] * Faerzen_Norstov follows
  58. [17:35] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> ==>
  59. [17:35] <Nick_Varnegs> last time i checked there were a bunch of extra pajamas in the drawers
  60. [17:35] <Nick_Varnegs> ... er....
  61. [17:35] <Nick_Varnegs> see if they fit or something, ill be outside
  62. [17:35] * Nick_Varnegs goes outsid
  63. [17:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh.... thank you!
  64. [17:36] <Nick_Varnegs> dont mention it
  65. [17:36] * Faerzen_Norstov looks through drawers
  66. [17:36] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Nick, describe contents please>
  67. [17:37] <Nick_Varnegs> ((inside the drawers you find various prospit colored pants, apart from the multiple shirts and a couple quills and feathers for the desk))
  68. [17:38] <Nick_Varnegs> ((it seems like they are just a tad bit big))
  69. [17:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((hmmmm....))
  70. [17:41] * Faerzen_Norstov holds several articles of clothing up to estimate size
  71. [17:41] * Faerzen_Norstov frowns in disappointment
  72. [17:42] * Nick_Varnegs from the outside of the tower "is everything okay?"
  73. [17:42] * Faerzen_Norstov moves over to out of direct line of the window and lifts skirt/dress up, tucking in several bunches of fluff and lace, and tightening some of the cords and ribbons.
  74. [17:43] * Nick_Varnegs humms a little song waiting
  75. [17:43] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yeah, everything is just splendid! Unfortuantely, it seems these will be a tad large, so I'm making a compromise!
  76. [17:43] * Nick_Varnegs from the outside "hmm? what kind of compromise thing are you doing?"
  77. [17:43] * Faerzen_Norstov takes an elastic belt out of the loops on one of the pairs of pants and use it to hold the fluff in check
  78. [17:44] * Faerzen_Norstov meticulously straightens out the creases and folds
  79. [17:44] * Faerzen_Norstov puts the belt-less pants back in the drawer and flies out the window
  80. [17:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> Problem solved!
  81. [17:44] <Nick_Varnegs> uhh....
  82. [17:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> <you see what looks like a skirt, but with a bow around the waist>
  83. [17:45] <Nick_Varnegs> so... what did you do?
  84. [17:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> <what used to be a billowing dress has now been folded into pleats and is must more manageable now>
  85. [17:45] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <I have a feeling something is going to go horribly wrong here
  86. [17:45] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Oh, nevermind then>
  87. [17:45] <Nick_Varnegs> ((what))
  88. [17:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> <it looks more like an absurdly fancy skirt now>
  89. [17:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> I tucked and folded some things away so it takes up much less space now!
  90. [17:46] <Nick_Varnegs> i suppose that is going to prevent the flowing and tangling?
  91. [17:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> I hope you do not mind, but I borrowed an elastic cords from one of those pairs of pants.
  92. [17:46] <Nick_Varnegs> dont worry
  93. [17:46] <Nick_Varnegs> there's like 20 of those
  94. [17:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes! Now that it doesn't reach my ankles, hopefully it will be much better!
  95. [17:46] <Nick_Varnegs> ... do you think there is some sort of tailor in this place to make you properly fitting pants?
  96. [17:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> I do not particularly understand how all of that lace and ribbon tucked away so easily, but I'm not going to question it.
  97. [17:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> Something about.... just letting things happen?
  98. [17:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> ;)
  99. [17:47] <Nick_Varnegs> yes
  100. [17:47] <Nick_Varnegs> :)
  101. [17:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> Before I so rudely interrupted you, what adventures were you off on?
  102. [17:47] <Nick_Varnegs> so...
  103. [17:47] <Nick_Varnegs> i was about to visit the catacombs
  104. [17:48] <Nick_Varnegs> remember them?
  105. [17:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> The catacombs? You mean the underground farms?
  106. [17:48] <Nick_Varnegs> yes
  107. [17:48] <Nick_Varnegs> but i suppose its not farms all the way down
  108. [17:48] <Nick_Varnegs> there is something else....
  109. [17:48] <Nick_Varnegs> i just know it
  110. [17:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, really?
  111. [17:49] <Nick_Varnegs> yep
  112. [17:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well a hunch sounds as reasonable a motivation as any to go on an adventure!
  113. [17:49] <Nick_Varnegs> yay!
  114. [17:49] <Nick_Varnegs> shall we go?
  115. [17:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do we wish to start with that particular tour we found earlier?
  116. [17:49] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
  117. [17:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> Perhaps we can take a couple.... detours. If you know what I mean! ;)
  118. [17:49] <Nick_Varnegs> i suppose
  119. [17:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'm sure they won't mind.
  120. [17:49] <Nick_Varnegs> hmmm....
  121. [17:50] <Nick_Varnegs> i hope so
  122. [17:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> We *are* in the royal court! (for some reason)
  123. [17:50] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Detours?>
  124. [17:50] <Nick_Varnegs> i always wondered about that
  125. [17:50] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Do I need to Improv some makeout points?>
  126. [17:50] <Nick_Varnegs> ((visiting other places bro))
  127. [17:50] <Nick_Varnegs> ((... no?))
  128. [17:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((oh god thats not what i meant ooc))
  129. [17:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> < *Lenny face*>
  130. [17:51] <Nick_Varnegs> ((the shipping is strong with this one))
  131. [17:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Where are you heading?>
  132. [17:51] <Nick_Varnegs> hey
  133. [17:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes?
  134. [17:51] <Nick_Varnegs> before we set off on that tour thing
  135. [17:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Also, Nick knows nothing of Faerzen's recent traumatic experience still>
  136. [17:52] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Just saying>
  137. [17:52] <Nick_Varnegs> do you remember where the entrance was?
  138. [17:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((hehehehe, teh secrets........))
  139. [17:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> I remember it was in a very large, important looking building!
  140. [17:52] <Nick_Varnegs> like that cathedral looking spire there?
  141. [17:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't know which particular one though. They all seem so ornate here....
  142. [17:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> Maybe? There's only one way to find out!
  143. [17:53] <Nick_Varnegs> after you
  144. [17:53] * Faerzen_Norstov extends elbow/arm
  145. [17:53] <Faerzen_Norstov> After you!
  146. [17:53] <Faerzen_Norstov> :)
  147. [17:53] <Nick_Varnegs> hehehehe...
  148. [17:54] * Nick_Varnegs slowly floats towards the building
  149. [17:54] <Nick_Varnegs> em...
  150. [17:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> <AT, what seems off about Nick?>
  151. [17:55] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <You don't know>
  152. [17:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> <You said something looked odd>
  153. [17:55] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <You just have a strange feeling>
  154. [17:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> <Oh>
  155. [17:55] <Nick_Varnegs> you know...
  156. [17:55] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <You can tell that something looks different, but you don't know what yet>
  157. [17:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes?
  158. [17:55] <Nick_Varnegs> something has been bothering me
  159. [17:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> What is the matter?
  160. [17:56] <Nick_Varnegs> do i look pale?
  161. [17:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> <does he?>
  162. [17:56] <Nick_Varnegs> i feel like i look paler than before
  163. [17:56] <Nick_Varnegs> maybe its just not being exposed to sun at all in here
  164. [17:56] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Not unless you want to look pale>
  165. [17:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> Have you looked in a mirror or similar reflection device? Why do you feel like that?
  166. [17:56] <Nick_Varnegs> or maybe its just my mind
  167. [17:56] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <That isn't the thing off about Nick's appearance though>
  168. [17:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> You seem fine to me!
  169. [17:57] <Nick_Varnegs> i feel... colder
  170. [17:57] <Nick_Varnegs> lets not get carried away with that kind of stuff....
  171. [17:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, well that doesn't seem very pleasant!
  172. [17:57] <Nick_Varnegs> lets just... go
  173. [17:57] * Nick_Varnegs knocks on the spire door
  174. [17:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> No, it's okay. Being cold is no good on an adventure.
  175. [17:58] * Faerzen_Norstov moves behind Nick and vigorously rubs her hands up and down Nick's shoulders and upper arms like you do when you're cold and trying to warm up.
  176. [17:58] <Nick_Varnegs> hmm? what do you mean?
  177. [17:58] <Nick_Varnegs> ((gimme a minute))
  178. [17:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> Is that helping at all?
  179. [17:59] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Oh Bb>
  180. [17:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> <I chose those words very carefully>
  181. [17:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> <vigorously moves behind warm up>
  182. [17:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> <mmmmmmm>
  183. [18:01] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Mmmmmmmmmm>
  184. [18:01] <Nick_Varnegs> ((k im back))
  185. [18:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((niiiice))
  186. [18:02] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Smexy>
  187. [18:02] <Nick_Varnegs> y-yeah... that is better
  188. [18:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> When it gets cold back home in Norway, which it very often does, I usually do this to warm up.
  189. [18:02] * Nick_Varnegs actually doesn't feels warmer
  190. [18:02] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Ba-Dump*
  191. [18:02] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Ba-Dump*
  192. [18:02] <Nick_Varnegs> tell me about that place
  193. [18:03] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nick's heart rate increases
  194. [18:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh?
  195. [18:03] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
  196. [18:03] <Nick_Varnegs> norway
  197. [18:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Where are you actually from? I don't suppose I ever asked, other than the time period.
  198. [18:03] <Nick_Varnegs> tell me about it
  199. [18:03] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
  200. [18:03] <Nick_Varnegs> some place near france?
  201. [18:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Some context for my explanation would be very helpful!
  202. [18:03] <Nick_Varnegs> that's all i know
  203. [18:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Ah!
  204. [18:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Excellent.
  205. [18:04] <Nick_Varnegs> it was a simple time
  206. [18:04] <Nick_Varnegs> i never actually left my hometown
  207. [18:04] <Nick_Varnegs> not once
  208. [18:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> That is understandable though!
  209. [18:04] <Nick_Varnegs> what about you? you sound like the travel kind of person faerzen
  210. [18:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't desire to jump to conclusions, but it is my understanding that travel was much more difficult for people in your time than for me.
  211. [18:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> So if you travel north across the ocean from where you lived, you will shortly arrive in Scandinavia where Norway is.
  212. [18:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> I haven't traveled out of the country hardly at all.
  213. [18:05] <Nick_Varnegs> really?
  214. [18:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> But travel around the area is very common when I am from.
  215. [18:06] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Nick still getting shoulder massage during this?>
  216. [18:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> I lived outside of town on the edge of a great forest
  217. [18:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> <oh yeah>
  218. [18:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> There really are quite a lot of trees in Norway.
  219. [18:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> However, most people own some sort of device which transports you around quite easily.
  220. [18:07] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nick unintentionally begins to tune out Faerzen a little as romantic thought run through his head
  221. [18:07] <Nick_Varnegs> interesting
  222. [18:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> You can input the desired destination, and it will travel along the roads to take you there. Quite expeditiously, I might add!
  223. [18:08] * Nick_Varnegs is absent minded
  224. [18:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> Very similar to a horse drawn carriage, except without the horses, they can float above the ground, and they can travel at speed up to around 100 times as quickly.
  225. [18:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> Are you sure you are feeling okay?
  226. [18:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> You seem very distracted?
  227. [18:08] <Nick_Varnegs> oh?!
  228. [18:08] <Nick_Varnegs> nothing i was just
  229. [18:08] <Nick_Varnegs> distracted thing for a second
  230. [18:09] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Nick blushes a bit*
  231. [18:09] <Nick_Varnegs> about that kind of place
  232. [18:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> No, it's okay. What about?
  233. [18:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> Ah.
  234. [18:09] <Nick_Varnegs> n-nothing?
  235. [18:09] <Nick_Varnegs> where you saying something about transport right?
  236. [18:09] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <It's like I have you two writing fanfiction with OCs while I stand there and say "Now Kiss!">
  237. [18:10] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, but it is of no matter. We should talk about something more interesting that the trivial details of my life.
  238. [18:10] <Faerzen_Norstov> What about you?
  239. [18:10] <Nick_Varnegs> ((this is canon fanfiction))
  240. [18:10] <Faerzen_Norstov> What was it like living in your town?
  241. [18:10] <Nick_Varnegs> it was really simple as i said earlier
  242. [18:10] <Nick_Varnegs> farmers woke up early
  243. [18:10] <Nick_Varnegs> merchants on the streets
  244. [18:11] <Nick_Varnegs> disease
  245. [18:11] <Nick_Varnegs> etc
  246. [18:11] <Nick_Varnegs> i remember franchesco though...
  247. [18:11] <Nick_Varnegs> he was a good man, a blacksmith
  248. [18:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oooh, I've always found the forging of metals to be very interesting.
  249. [18:12] <Nick_Varnegs> you should have seen him!
  250. [18:12] <Faerzen_Norstov> I wish I could have!
  251. [18:12] <Nick_Varnegs> he was simply the best there was!
  252. [18:12] <Nick_Varnegs> give him a hammer and an piece of iron and he'll make armament worthy of gods!
  253. [18:12] <Nick_Varnegs> .. i miss him
  254. [18:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'm sorry to hear that. :(
  255. [18:13] <Nick_Varnegs> ... no, its okay
  256. [18:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> If you'd like, when this blasted game is all over, I can show you some of the things I have in my basement.
  257. [18:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have never really delved into the field of smithing and forging terribly much, but we could work together to try and learn how!
  258. [18:13] <Nick_Varnegs> basement?
  259. [18:14] <Nick_Varnegs> really?!
  260. [18:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have a workshop!
  261. [18:14] <Nick_Varnegs> i think franchesco's forge could still work!
  262. [18:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> It's fairly rudimentary, really, but it's better than nothgin.
  263. [18:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, is that was that is outside your house?
  264. [18:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, I think it might!
  265. [18:14] <Nick_Varnegs> i would love to resume the family business in his honor
  266. [18:14] <Nick_Varnegs> yes
  267. [18:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> That sounds like a most noble goal indeed.
  268. [18:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> Let's set our eyes on that. For what we're fighting for. :)
  269. [18:15] <Nick_Varnegs> maybe one day faerzen... :)
  270. [18:15] <Nick_Varnegs> sounds good...
  271. [18:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> There.
  272. [18:15] * Faerzen_Norstov stops arm warming thing
  273. [18:15] * Nick_Varnegs thinks "as long as everything doesn't spirals out of control...."
  274. [18:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> Does that feel any betteR?
  275. [18:15] <Nick_Varnegs> yeah
  276. [18:16] * Nick_Varnegs knocks on the door again
  277. [18:16] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nick, Roll me a Con check
  278. [18:16] * Faerzen_Norstov thinks "as long as everything doesn't spiral out of control......"
  279. [18:16] <Nick_Varnegs> roll 1d20+3
  280. [18:16] <`DICE> Nick_Varnegs rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=3 ]{6}
  281. [18:16] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The door is unlocked, and you hear a Carapacian bid you come in
  282. [18:17] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nick, you feel something dry in the back of your throat
  283. [18:17] <Nick_Varnegs> shall we proceed?
  284. [18:17] <Nick_Varnegs> *cough
  285. [18:17] * Nick_Varnegs opens the door
  286. [18:17] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> It is a bit itchy, and your voice sounds a bit hoarse when you speak
  287. [18:17] * Faerzen_Norstov thumps Nick's back
  288. [18:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> You all right?
  289. [18:17] <Nick_Varnegs> y-yeah
  290. [18:18] <Nick_Varnegs> i must be catching a cold
  291. [18:18] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh dear, that's quite unfortunate. I would recommend going to sleep, but I'm not particularly sure how that would even work....
  292. [18:19] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *cough cough*
  293. [18:19] <Nick_Varnegs> who even though a dream version of me would get sick!
  294. [18:19] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The carapacian bids Highnesses come in if they so desire
  295. [18:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, please!
  296. [18:19] <Nick_Varnegs> why not
  297. [18:19] * Nick_Varnegs enters
  298. [18:19] * Faerzen_Norstov follows
  299. [18:20] <Nick_Varnegs> he- *cough* hello?
  300. [18:20] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The carapacian stands begin a desk, a door to his right
  301. [18:21] <Nick_Varnegs> ex-*cough* excuse us, but how can we reach the underground levels?
  302. [18:22] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The officer explains that he can gladly take Highnesses on a tour of the farms
  303. [18:22] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Should they desire
  304. [18:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> Excellent. Thank you!
  305. [18:22] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The officer takes out a key from behind his desk and unlocks the door before starting down the staircase
  306. [20:49] * Faerzen_Norstov goes down staircase
  307. [20:49] * nick_Varnegs follows
  308. [20:49] <nick_Varnegs> so tell me
  309. [20:49] <nick_Varnegs> how has everything been in the land of...
  310. [20:49] <nick_Varnegs> wait
  311. [20:49] <nick_Varnegs> what was your land called?
  312. [20:50] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Footsteps echo down the staircase*
  313. [20:50] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Nick coughs a bit*
  314. [20:50] <nick_Varnegs> definetively sick...
  315. [20:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> The Land of Wicks and Bulbs, I believe
  316. [20:50] <nick_Varnegs> sounds pretty
  317. [20:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> It really is gorgeous!
  318. [20:50] <nick_Varnegs> so... how is everything going on there?
  319. [20:50] <nick_Varnegs> *cough
  320. [20:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Roll CON>
  321. [20:51] <nick_Varnegs> roll 1d20+3
  322. [20:51] <`DICE> nick_Varnegs rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=4 ]{7}
  323. [20:51] <nick_Varnegs> *COUGH
  324. [20:51] <nick_Varnegs> sorry faerzen
  325. [20:51] * Faerzen_Norstov projects the video he took when he first arrived showing endless oceans of darkness punctuated by rocky spires and a great many bright sources of light on top and in the sky
  326. [20:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You feel something sliding around in the back of your throat
  327. [20:52] * nick_Varnegs gags
  328. [20:52] <nick_Varnegs> w-wait
  329. [20:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh my gosh, are you okay!?!?!
  330. [20:52] <nick_Varnegs> there's something wrong
  331. [20:52] * nick_Varnegs gags again
  332. [20:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> What's wrong?!?!
  333. [20:52] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The carapacian stops
  334. [20:52] <nick_Varnegs> f-*cough*fuck
  335. [20:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> Excuse me sir (to the prospitian), do you have any medical supplies???
  336. [20:52] * nick_Varnegs falls down to his knees
  337. [20:53] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The prospitian asks what kind of supplies?
  338. [20:53] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Faerzen, feel free to make a medicine check when relevant>
  339. [20:53] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do you have anything to drink? A bucket or other containers in case Nick gets sick?
  340. [20:53] * Faerzen_Norstov starts fanning Nick
  341. [20:54] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The prospitian hurries upstairs in answer to your question
  342. [20:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> You should loosen the collar around your shirt to give you some room to breathe
  343. [20:54] * nick_Varnegs is in the ground coughing
  344. [20:54] * nick_Varnegs does so
  345. [20:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do you think some water would help? You can just nod or shake your head.
  346. [20:55] * nick_Varnegs shakes his head
  347. [20:55] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Faerzen, being extremely helpful>
  348. [20:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> What's wrong????
  349. [20:55] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Fanning the guy choking :P >
  350. [20:55] <nick_Varnegs> there's *COUGH* something on m- *COUGH* my throat
  351. [20:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, you're choking???!?!?
  352. [20:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh god
  353. [20:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> Here, I haven't actually used this on a real person yet, but....
  354. [20:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> The Heimlich Maneuver is all I've got.
  355. [20:56] <nick_Varnegs> ((maybe a medicine check?))
  356. [20:56] * Faerzen_Norstov positions herself behind nick and hugs his abdomen
  357. [20:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> roll 1d20+2
  358. [20:56] <`DICE> Faerzen_Norstov rolled 1d20+2 [ 1d20=20 ]{22}
  359. [20:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((YESSSSS))
  360. [20:56] <nick_Varnegs> ((yes))
  361. [20:57] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nick, roll me a Con check
  362. [20:57] <nick_Varnegs> roll 1d20+3
  363. [20:57] <`DICE> nick_Varnegs rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=20 ]{23}
  364. [20:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((YESSSSSS))
  365. [20:57] <nick_Varnegs> ((fuck yeah))
  366. [20:57] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Well fuck>
  367. [20:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((I think we just won))
  368. [20:57] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nick coughs up a single black crow's feather
  369. [20:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> Is there more?
  370. [20:58] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Are there more>
  371. [20:58] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Grammar Faerzen>
  372. [20:58] <nick_Varnegs> w*cough* what was that?!
  373. [20:58] * nick_Varnegs fixes throat
  374. [20:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> <geez>
  375. [20:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> <you can't grammar when your friend is choking, dude>
  376. [20:59] <nick_Varnegs> How did that get there?!
  377. [20:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> Are.... you okay now?
  378. [20:59] * Faerzen_Norstov releases Nick's stomach
  379. [20:59] <nick_Varnegs> i... yes
  380. [21:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> That was....... very peculiar
  381. [21:00] <nick_Varnegs> i owe you my life faerzen
  382. [21:00] <nick_Varnegs> thanks
  383. [21:00] <nick_Varnegs> i know...
  384. [21:00] * nick_Varnegs picks up gooey crow feather
  385. [21:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, don't worry about it! I'm surprised that worked myself, honestly.
  386. [21:00] <nick_Varnegs> how did this even get here...
  387. [21:00] <nick_Varnegs> :)
  388. [21:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> Dreams certainly tend to not make much sense, but this really is an outlier.
  389. [21:01] <nick_Varnegs> we should go get that little guy
  390. [21:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> Or........ we could go exploring!
  391. [21:01] <nick_Varnegs> hey!...
  392. [21:01] <nick_Varnegs> good idea
  393. [21:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> If you really are curious about what is below the farms, I don't think we're going to get to go there on this tour.
  394. [21:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> But this feather.....
  395. [21:02] <nick_Varnegs> i had another plan to get rid of the litte guy
  396. [21:02] <nick_Varnegs> but anyways
  397. [21:02] <nick_Varnegs> if you want to leave him behind
  398. [21:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, you did?
  399. [21:02] <nick_Varnegs> kinda
  400. [21:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> What was that?
  401. [21:02] <nick_Varnegs> ... a great plan of persuation and lies
  402. [21:02] <nick_Varnegs> and a lot of implying
  403. [21:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> That.... certainly is quite a mysterious and vague plan!
  404. [21:03] <nick_Varnegs> hehehehehehe
  405. [21:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> I am glad we do not have to resort to it though.
  406. [21:03] <nick_Varnegs> we should just go down before he comes back
  407. [21:03] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You can hear scurrying footsteps above you
  408. [21:03] <nick_Varnegs> QUICK!
  409. [21:03] * Faerzen_Norstov grabs Nick's hand and quietly skips down stairs, putting her other hand over her lips to tell Nick to be quiet
  410. [21:03] * nick_Varnegs flies down the stairs
  411. [21:04] * Faerzen_Norstov remembers she can fly and then flies >.<
  412. [21:04] <nick_Varnegs> ((dammit.. ill just go with faerzen's))
  413. [21:04] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <lel>
  414. [21:05] * nick_Varnegs whispers... do you have any idea where we are going?
  415. [21:05] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You both end up making a large amount of noise as you switch from flying to skipping and back again incredibly akwardly
  416. [21:05] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You end up flying
  417. [21:05] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> A large factory like floor extends in front of you
  418. [21:05] * Faerzen_Norstov grins widely and shakes head "no" quite vigorously
  419. [21:05] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> On which thousands of rows of wheat stretch forth
  420. [21:06] * nick_Varnegs whispers and says "i like this adventuring side of you"
  421. [21:06] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Is it getting hot in here? Or is it just me?>
  422. [21:06] <nick_Varnegs> i suppose this must be the farms
  423. [21:06] <nick_Varnegs> ((no its not))
  424. [21:07] <nick_Varnegs> its incredible!
  425. [21:07] * Faerzen_Norstov whispers heehee, it's fun discovering something new, is it not?
  426. [21:07] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Above the factory floor you can see machines harvesting the wheat extending from above
  427. [21:07] * Faerzen_Norstov gestures to the two of us and then points further away from where we currently are
  428. [21:07] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> And a set of doors on the far sides of the farm
  429. [21:08] * nick_Varnegs whispers... what do you have in mind?
  430. [21:08] * Faerzen_Norstov flies over towards the center of an area of wheat
  431. [21:08] * nick_Varnegs follows
  432. [21:08] * Faerzen_Norstov plops down in a plot of wheat
  433. [21:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> I thought it would be good to put some distance between us and that guard!
  434. [21:09] <nick_Varnegs> ... i should be carefull about being there
  435. [21:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> We should be a bit more concealed over here, rather than floating right above the entrance!
  436. [21:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> What do you mean?
  437. [21:09] <nick_Varnegs> those machines dont look that safe you know?
  438. [21:09] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <What happened to the feather might I ask?>
  439. [21:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((didn't nick grab it?))
  440. [21:09] <nick_Varnegs> ((i left it on the staircase))
  441. [21:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((he said he was looking at it))
  442. [21:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((rip))
  443. [21:10] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Just wondering>
  444. [21:10] <nick_Varnegs> ((ok...)
  445. [21:10] <nick_Varnegs> how deep do you think this place goes?
  446. [21:10] <Faerzen_Norstov> I haven't the foggiest!
  447. [21:10] <nick_Varnegs> neither have i
  448. [21:10] * nick_Varnegs grins
  449. [21:11] <nick_Varnegs> lets look for some more stairs
  450. [21:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> It would seem reasonable for this to go all the way to the core of the planet, since Prospit doesn't seem large enough to have any sort of dangerous or superheated core.
  451. [21:11] <nick_Varnegs> ;)
  452. [21:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> But I suppose we will need to find out for ourselves!
  453. [21:11] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <I'm totally gonna find a way to make farming and mining romantic>
  454. [21:11] <nick_Varnegs> i wonder what is at the bottom
  455. [21:11] * Faerzen_Norstov looks up at the ceiling, mesmerized by the machines
  456. [21:12] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The machines dance in graceful leaps
  457. [21:12] <nick_Varnegs> ... do you know how these work?
  458. [21:12] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Threshing the grain internally
  459. [21:12] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hmmmm.....
  460. [21:12] <nick_Varnegs> they look far too complicated for me
  461. [21:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> roll 1d20+3
  462. [21:13] <`DICE> Faerzen_Norstov rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=6 ]{9}
  463. [21:13] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <what you rolling?>
  464. [21:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((int)) Well, it seems like those hoses take the grain out of here, and those boom arms support the harvesting mechanism, but they're moving so fast!
  465. [21:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> It's difficult to tell exactly how they are able to move with such finesse. It's amazing!
  466. [21:13] <nick_Varnegs> interesting!
  467. [21:14] <nick_Varnegs> do you think we should move before they reach this area?
  468. [21:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> <does there appear to be any light sources for the plants on the ceiling?>
  469. [21:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> I....... suppose
  470. [21:14] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <yes>
  471. [21:14] * nick_Varnegs floats up
  472. [21:14] * Faerzen_Norstov still stands there watching the delicate and precise dance on the ceiling
  473. [21:15] * nick_Varnegs watches the finesse of modern machinery
  474. [21:15] * Faerzen_Norstov begins recording a video on her e-glasses
  475. [21:16] <Faerzen_Norstov> And...... those lights........
  476. [21:16] <Faerzen_Norstov> ....pretty.......
  477. [21:16] <nick_Varnegs> maybe one of these days we should take the tour?
  478. [21:16] <nick_Varnegs> instead of sneaking out towards adventure?
  479. [21:16] <nick_Varnegs> hehehehe
  480. [21:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> .......mhmmm.......
  481. [21:17] * Faerzen_Norstov still very much just watching the ceiling and not paying any attention to you
  482. [21:17] * nick_Varnegs looks around the room for more stairs
  483. [21:17] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> there might be some stairs beyond those doors in the back
  484. [21:18] * nick_Varnegs to himself "she must be cautivated by these machines... they are rather interesting"
  485. [21:19] * nick_Varnegs points towards doors "what do you think there is behind those?"
  486. [21:19] * Faerzen_Norstov starts moving her hands around in the air. It looks like she might be trying to mimic or reproduce particular movements of the machine parts
  487. [21:19] <nick_Varnegs> "hey?.. faerzen?"
  488. [21:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> ...mmhmmmmm.....
  489. [21:20] * nick_Varnegs clicks his fingers
  490. [21:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> ...huh?
  491. [21:20] <nick_Varnegs> "i almost though i lost you there"
  492. [21:20] * Faerzen_Norstov makes a big downward gesture as if to wipe clean her field of vision and turns to Nick
  493. [21:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> ....what?
  494. [21:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh.
  495. [21:21] * Faerzen_Norstov shakes head vigorously
  496. [21:21] <nick_Varnegs> "you seemed way more distracted than me back up there!"
  497. [21:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, sorry about that
  498. [21:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> They're so beautiful!
  499. [21:21] <nick_Varnegs> "you like machines i suppose?"
  500. [21:21] <nick_Varnegs> "they are indeed a work of art"
  501. [21:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> They may not be as efficient, but these machine are far more elegant and wonderful than any I've ever seen used in factories
  502. [21:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> Those are always so blocky and regimented and direct
  503. [21:22] <nick_Varnegs> ill suppose tou like the "flow" of these?
  504. [21:22] <nick_Varnegs> how rythmical the movements are and all that?
  505. [21:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> But it almost seems like whoever designed these added extra flourishes and curves to make it all so seamless and smooth
  506. [21:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes! That's an excellent way of putting it.
  507. [21:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> Flow.
  508. [21:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> Anyways, what were you saying?
  509. [21:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> I cannot say I was paying very much attention. :/
  510. [21:24] <nick_Varnegs> there are a couple doors back there...
  511. [21:24] <nick_Varnegs> dont worry, sometimes i forget to actually pay attention too
  512. [21:24] <nick_Varnegs> i get lost in my thoughs
  513. [21:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh yes! I saw those on the way in. Did you desire to investigate?
  514. [21:24] <nick_Varnegs> do you?
  515. [21:25] <nick_Varnegs> ...
  516. [21:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> Of couse!
  517. [21:25] <nick_Varnegs> ill take that as a yes?
  518. [21:25] <nick_Varnegs> good!
  519. [21:26] * nick_Varnegs floats slowly towards the doors
  520. [21:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> Here, let me briefly take a moment to save this video with the other video of LOWAB.
  521. [21:26] * Faerzen_Norstov follows soon after
  522. [21:26] <nick_Varnegs> pray tell faerzen, before i choked on bird you were talking about the land of wicks and bulbs...
  523. [21:26] <nick_Varnegs> what is your current situation on the planet?
  524. [21:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, I dare say I'm rather stuck at the moment
  525. [21:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have a predicament, you might say
  526. [21:28] <nick_Varnegs> you still havent gotten the guy to build?
  527. [21:28] <nick_Varnegs> what was his name?
  528. [21:28] <nick_Varnegs> carlos?
  529. [21:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> For some reason, my alchemiter is jammed, and I can't make the new crossbow that I was very much looking forward to
  530. [21:28] <nick_Varnegs> oh no :c
  531. [21:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> And without it, I fear for what I might find further down the tower!
  532. [21:28] <nick_Varnegs> can you fix it?
  533. [21:29] * nick_Varnegs opens double doors
  534. [21:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> I am very quickly getting in over my head with these monsters you see. I was luck to survive the last encounter!
  535. [21:29] <nick_Varnegs> please be careful faerzen
  536. [21:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> <dat echeladder>
  537. [21:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have taken a cursory look at the machine
  538. [21:29] <nick_Varnegs> ((what?))
  539. [21:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> But since I have absolutely no information on how machines that spontaneously generate any conceivable item work, I do not think I will be able to do much
  540. [21:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((still haven't leveled up essentially since entering))
  541. [21:30] <nick_Varnegs> hmm.... i hope it "unjams" somehow
  542. [21:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> So for now, I have resigned to waiting
  543. [21:30] <nick_Varnegs> ((goddammit at))
  544. [21:30] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Was afk there, am catching up now>
  545. [21:30] <nick_Varnegs> ((at, give this guy a level or something))
  546. [21:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> And since my house is stranded atop a rocky spire, I cannot traverse anywhere except further down into the dangerous tower!
  547. [21:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> So for now, I am waiting on Carlos to build and on my alchemiter to begin functioning
  548. [21:31] <nick_Varnegs> oh no...
  549. [21:31] <nick_Varnegs> please tell me you'll take care
  550. [21:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> I will try!
  551. [21:31] <nick_Varnegs> great!
  552. [21:31] <nick_Varnegs> also, if it wasn't that much asking
  553. [21:31] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Wait, crap, what level are you Faerzen?>
  554. [21:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> Sometimes no matter how many precautions I take, it's just my luck that the game throws something at me that circumvents all of them.
  555. [21:31] <nick_Varnegs> could you send me his esperchum name later?
  556. [21:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> <3>
  557. [21:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, I can most certainly do that
  558. [21:32] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Aight, give yourself 2 levels Aberrant>
  559. [21:32] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <I'm so bad at handing out levels>
  560. [21:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> I will warn you, he is rather..... odd
  561. [21:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> <NICE>
  562. [21:33] <nick_Varnegs> odd?
  563. [21:33] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You open the double doors, to reveal a short staircase
  564. [21:33] <nick_Varnegs> how so?
  565. [21:33] <nick_Varnegs> hey! more stairs!
  566. [21:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> He is convinced that none of this, or any of the people here are actually real
  567. [21:33] <nick_Varnegs> oh...
  568. [21:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> I suppose now I am probably the worst person in the universe to complain about this, but it really was quite frustrating talking to him
  569. [21:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> As I'm sure you very well found out last time we were dreaming.
  570. [21:34] <nick_Varnegs> ... i imagine so
  571. [21:34] <nick_Varnegs> it was not frustrating!
  572. [21:34] <nick_Varnegs> it was just...
  573. [21:34] <nick_Varnegs> err
  574. [21:34] <nick_Varnegs> no, i dont have a word for that
  575. [21:35] * nick_Varnegs begins descending stairs
  576. [21:35] <Faerzen_Norstov> He also..... yeah..... sometimes he says things that made me uncomfortable.
  577. [21:35] <Faerzen_Norstov> I haven't heard a peep from him since then though.
  578. [21:35] * nick_Varnegs stops
  579. [21:35] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> A relatively small catwalk extends over a massive pit mine
  580. [21:35] <nick_Varnegs> wait what?
  581. [21:35] <nick_Varnegs> what kind of stuff?
  582. [21:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, please, I don't want to think about it too much. I'm sure it wasn't as big of a deal as I was making it out to be
  583. [21:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> Especially given the state of my dream self.
  584. [21:36] <nick_Varnegs> oh...
  585. [21:36] <nick_Varnegs> i see
  586. [21:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> I had just alchemized something and was trying it on
  587. [21:36] <nick_Varnegs> mind if i have a word with him about him? a couple lies dont hurt anybody ;)
  588. [21:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> And as yet another practical joke to play on me, this game decided to make it a dress rather than a normal outfit for no apparent reason
  589. [21:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> So he caught me in a dress and it led to some awkward conversations.
  590. [21:37] <nick_Varnegs> this game is quite conviced in you being a girl
  591. [21:37] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Nick's mind jumps to thoughts of Faerzen in a... More romantic dress*
  592. [21:37] <nick_Varnegs> ehhh.....
  593. [21:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> In retrospect, it probably wasn't any more malicious or awkward than many of the conversations I have had with you or particularly Byron
  594. [21:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> But he seemed very confused at the moment.
  595. [21:38] <nick_Varnegs> weird
  596. [21:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, it was, but it was quite some time ago.
  597. [21:38] <nick_Varnegs> i expect to meet him one of these days
  598. [21:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> I haven't heard from him in a while, so I hope he is okay!
  599. [21:38] <nick_Varnegs> have a word or two
  600. [21:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> I should check in on him when I wake up!!!
  601. [21:39] <nick_Varnegs> yeah!
  602. [21:39] <nick_Varnegs> do so!
  603. [21:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> That would probably be funny to do.
  604. [21:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> :)
  605. [21:39] * nick_Varnegs floats along catwalk
  606. [21:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> Wow, these stairs are long!
  607. [21:39] <nick_Varnegs> is this a mine?
  608. [21:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> It looks like it!
  609. [21:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't even want to think about how far down that pit goes
  610. [21:39] <nick_Varnegs> what kind of mining would a planet like this have?
  611. [21:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'm not sure? Gold, perhaps?
  612. [21:40] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The mine extends seemingly for thousands of miles
  613. [21:40] <nick_Varnegs> ... that would explain a lot of stuff
  614. [21:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> It is rather difficult to ponder when quite literally everything here is made of exactly the same material
  615. [21:40] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> It gives you a grander sense of infinity than infinity itself
  616. [21:40] <nick_Varnegs> want to check it out?
  617. [21:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> Sure!
  618. [21:40] * nick_Varnegs extends hand
  619. [21:41] <Faerzen_Norstov> Let me just make sure my flying is steady. I wouldn't want to fall down there! I've had enough of falling down into endless dark abysses for one day.
  620. [21:41] * Faerzen_Norstov takes hand
  621. [21:41] <Faerzen_Norstov> Away we go!
  622. [21:41] * nick_Varnegs begins descending really far
  623. [21:41] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Faerzen feels an urge to giggle femininely*
  624. [21:41] * Faerzen_Norstov looks around while descending
  625. [21:42] <nick_Varnegs> *fast
  626. [21:42] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> you can see hole gets wider and wider as you descend
  627. [21:42] <Faerzen_Norstov> Heehee, it's so big!
  628. [21:42] <nick_Varnegs> WAIT!... what did you say about abysses?
  629. [21:42] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You rapidly approach the center of the planetoid
  630. [21:42] <Faerzen_Norstov> I can't even imagine what all these adorable little Prospitian would want to do with all of this stone!
  631. [21:42] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hmm? What, Nick?
  632. [21:42] <nick_Varnegs> neither i!
  633. [21:42] * nick_Varnegs stops midair
  634. [21:43] <nick_Varnegs> something... about an abyss
  635. [21:43] * Faerzen_Norstov stops too
  636. [21:43] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'm.. not sure what you mean?
  637. [21:43] * Faerzen_Norstov looks quizzically at Nick
  638. [21:43] <nick_Varnegs> you said you had enough of falling into dark abysses today
  639. [21:43] <nick_Varnegs> is everything okay?
  640. [21:43] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh. I said that out loud?
  641. [21:44] <nick_Varnegs> ... yes?
  642. [21:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yeah, that was not a particularly enjoyable day.
  643. [21:44] <nick_Varnegs> oh...
  644. [21:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> I was very prepared for a great slew of traps in one particular room in my tower
  645. [21:44] <nick_Varnegs> i think i know what kind of experience that was
  646. [21:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> And it turns out the actual trap was the one trap that could get around all my defenses!
  647. [21:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> The whole room, as if just to spite me, simply exploded and threw me out the window!
  648. [21:45] <nick_Varnegs> oh no!
  649. [21:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thankfully I made a parachute earlier and was able to land safely
  650. [21:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> But it was very dark at the bottom and it took quite a while for me to manage to get myself back up to the tower
  651. [21:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thankfully my sprite was very helpful on that front.
  652. [21:46] <nick_Varnegs> ...
  653. [21:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have absolutely no desire to go down there again anytime soon. At least, until I can light the area up.
  654. [21:46] <nick_Varnegs> i feel like you are skipping stuff
  655. [21:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> Imagine being lost in an endless swirling mass of black fog!
  656. [21:46] <nick_Varnegs> but dont worry
  657. [21:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> I kept trying to navigate my way out, but going in circles
  658. [21:46] <nick_Varnegs> ... i imagine
  659. [21:47] <nick_Varnegs> was there something else down there?
  660. [21:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> Even my flashlight was less than effective
  661. [21:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> I encountered quite a bit of blood on the ground, and there were a great deal of disturbing noises in the shifting fog
  662. [21:48] <nick_Varnegs> oh no
  663. [21:48] <nick_Varnegs> dont go further
  664. [21:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> Whenever I would find a recognizable feature on the ground, I would somehow eventually end up wrapping back around and finding it again
  665. [21:48] <nick_Varnegs> i understand
  666. [21:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> I had a difficult enough time trying to write a map!
  667. [21:48] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Nick, you remember reading somewhere that it helps people to talk about psychological trauma>
  668. [21:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thank you, I would prefer to think of other things. I really, really do not like being lost.
  669. [21:49] * nick_Varnegs hugs faerzen
  670. [21:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> <wow, at, wow>
  671. [21:49] * Faerzen_Norstov hugs back
  672. [21:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thank you.
  673. [21:49] <nick_Varnegs> i understand if you dont want to talk faerzen....
  674. [21:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> I found a book down there....
  675. [21:49] <nick_Varnegs> books?
  676. [21:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> and I am in the process of trying to read it
  677. [21:49] * nick_Varnegs stops hugging
  678. [21:49] <nick_Varnegs> really?
  679. [21:49] <nick_Varnegs> what is is about?
  680. [21:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> But it is very very dense and difficult to read.
  681. [21:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> It is about this game!
  682. [21:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> And how it works and our role inside that game.
  683. [21:50] <nick_Varnegs> you will have to show me that book one day
  684. [21:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> But it is unfortunately confusing to understand.
  685. [21:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, I should!
  686. [21:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> It is unfortunately huge and very heave so I have no intention of taking it anywhere for the time being
  687. [21:50] <nick_Varnegs> great!
  688. [21:50] <nick_Varnegs> interesting
  689. [21:51] <nick_Varnegs> hey... uh....
  690. [21:51] <nick_Varnegs> i think we were going down?
  691. [21:51] * nick_Varnegs begins descending once again
  692. [21:51] <nick_Varnegs> want to keep going?
  693. [21:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, why not!
  694. [21:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You can see the core in the distance
  695. [21:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Slowly growing larger as you approach
  696. [21:52] <nick_Varnegs> is that...
  697. [21:52] <nick_Varnegs> the core?!
  698. [21:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> What is this? It looks like there is something floating in the middle!
  699. [21:52] <nick_Varnegs> how can a mine go so deep?!
  700. [21:52] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> An unimpressive transparent Crystal lies as the core of the planet
  701. [21:52] <nick_Varnegs> why doesn't this surprise me?... its not even hot
  702. [21:52] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Machines scuttle all over the surface, harvesting anything they can
  703. [21:53] <nick_Varnegs> what are this things?!
  704. [21:53] <Faerzen_Norstov> This is most.... intriguing!
  705. [21:53] <nick_Varnegs> this is quite the mistery what we have in hands
  706. [21:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> Indeeed.....
  707. [21:54] * nick_Varnegs leans towards crystal, pressing his face in it
  708. [21:54] * Faerzen_Norstov floats closer, trying to investigate what it is the machines are harvesting
  709. [21:54] <nick_Varnegs> what can be so important to encase in crystal?
  710. [21:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do you see something inside of there?
  711. [21:55] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nothing lies inside
  712. [21:55] <nick_Varnegs> hmmm...
  713. [21:55] <nick_Varnegs> nope
  714. [21:55] <nick_Varnegs> its empty
  715. [21:55] <nick_Varnegs> as far as i can see there is nothing in there
  716. [21:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> <interesting plot developement, at....... ;) >
  717. [21:56] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <It is the crsytal the prototyping spires are made from>
  718. [21:56] <nick_Varnegs> ((arent those outside the planet?))
  719. [21:56] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <No?>
  720. [21:56] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <I don't think it says in canon>
  721. [21:56] <nick_Varnegs> ((hmmm....))
  722. [21:57] <nick_Varnegs> i wonder what kind of thing this is
  723. [21:57] <nick_Varnegs> hey faerzen! did you figure out what those machines are for?
  724. [21:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> This crystal looks familiar, but I can't place it.
  725. [21:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> It seems the machines are harvesting chunks of this crystal. I feel as though I've seen it before..... but I don't remember where.
  726. [21:58] <nick_Varnegs> weird
  727. [21:58] <nick_Varnegs> i suppose that this must be quite important to be in the center of the planet
  728. [21:59] <nick_Varnegs> if we even are close to i
  729. [21:59] <nick_Varnegs> *it
  730. [21:59] <nick_Varnegs> can you see anything else around here?
  731. [22:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> For being in the middle of an open chasm, it's surprisingly bright down here!
  732. [22:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'll fly around and see if I can find anything. :)
  733. [22:00] <nick_Varnegs> mind if i follow?
  734. [22:01] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Just stone quarrying machines>
  735. [22:01] <nick_Varnegs> this place kind of creeps me out
  736. [22:01] * nick_Varnegs rubs his own arms
  737. [22:02] <nick_Varnegs> its cold in here or just my imagination?
  738. [22:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> We can make our departure soon if you would like!
  739. [22:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> There doesn't appear to be much else down here.
  740. [22:02] <nick_Varnegs> how dissapointing :c
  741. [22:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> We are quite far from the warm exterior light of Skaia
  742. [22:02] <nick_Varnegs> i expected a greater mistery
  743. [22:02] <nick_Varnegs> yeah...
  744. [22:03] <nick_Varnegs> ... do you think there is something on the smaller prospit?
  745. [22:03] <nick_Varnegs> the one our towers are on
  746. [22:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> <wait, is that not where we were?>
  747. [22:03] <nick_Varnegs> ((nope))
  748. [22:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> <oh whoops everything makes sense again>
  749. [22:04] <nick_Varnegs> ((i think so))
  750. [22:04] <nick_Varnegs> ((i remember writing about descending to the planet in one of my commands))
  751. [22:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> <AT?>
  752. [22:04] <nick_Varnegs> so... up we go then?
  753. [22:05] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Well there are Prospitians on both celestial bodies€
  754. [22:05] <nick_Varnegs> ((lets say this is big prospit))
  755. [22:05] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Lets say you are on Prospit>
  756. [22:05] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <And not the moon>
  757. [22:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, sadly that does seem the only intriguing course of action left
  758. [22:05] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <The center of the moon == Questbeds>
  759. [22:05] <nick_Varnegs> WAIT! something comes to mind... what are we going to say to the little man?
  760. [22:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> Let us think while we fly!
  761. [22:06] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Tell him you were making out>
  762. [22:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> It will take us a while to get back tot he top.
  763. [22:06] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <*wink wink*>
  764. [22:06] <nick_Varnegs> ((that would work))
  765. [22:06] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <God damn I'm smooth>
  766. [22:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> <so gud>
  767. [22:07] <nick_Varnegs> ((smoth as sandpaper))
  768. [22:07] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <So smooth I'm flipping tripping over myself>
  769. [22:07] * Faerzen_Norstov flies up
  770. [22:07] * nick_Varnegs begins going going up
  771. [22:07] <nick_Varnegs> any ideas?
  772. [22:08] <nick_Varnegs> because im not fond of telling him we were sneaking around
  773. [22:09] * nick_Varnegs begins thinking of a cunning lie
  774. [22:09] * nick_Varnegs fails todo so
  775. [22:09] <nick_Varnegs> nope... nothing comes to mind
  776. [22:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> We could relate it to your choking incident.
  777. [22:09] <nick_Varnegs> what about you?
  778. [22:09] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You arrive back at the catwalk
  779. [22:09] <nick_Varnegs> and.... back here!
  780. [22:09] <nick_Varnegs> how could we?
  781. [22:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> It is often easier to weave a lie if you weave in threads of the truth as well.
  782. [22:10] <Faerzen_Norstov> We could say that your choking for even worse, and that we ran downstairs to try and find more help
  783. [22:10] <nick_Varnegs> ok... i like that start
  784. [22:10] <nick_Varnegs> but he'll see the feather in the staircase!
  785. [22:10] <nick_Varnegs> ...
  786. [22:11] <nick_Varnegs> i have just ONE idea but its going to be quite embarassing for both of us
  787. [22:11] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <And then you started to have sloppy Makeouts, Nick blurts out, I want this to happen so bad>
  788. [22:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> We could say that was one of several you were choking on
  789. [22:11] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You arrive back in the farms
  790. [22:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> And we were able to get one out before we decided to depart for the farms
  791. [22:11] <nick_Varnegs> sounds good!
  792. [22:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> What is your proposal?
  793. [22:12] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The carapacian is waiting anxiously at the bottom of the stairs
  794. [22:12] <nick_Varnegs> in case he doesn't believe it
  795. [22:12] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Holding a bucket and a large glass of water
  796. [22:12] * nick_Varnegs shakes faerzen's hair out of view of the carapacian
  797. [22:12] * nick_Varnegs shakes own hair
  798. [22:12] <nick_Varnegs> do you have any ways of blushing quickly?
  799. [22:13] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Is Highness quite alright?
  800. [22:13] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The carapacian seems to be asking
  801. [22:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> I believe he is now!
  802. [22:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> He gave us quite a fright back there.
  803. [22:13] <nick_Varnegs> yes!
  804. [22:13] <nick_Varnegs> dont worry about anything
  805. [22:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> I think he is okay now, though.
  806. [22:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> Would you like some water, Nick?
  807. [22:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> We couldn't failed any further down, unfortunately
  808. [22:13] <nick_Varnegs> ... sure faerzen!
  809. [22:14] * nick_Varnegs cordially takes the glass of water from the carapacian and winks at him
  810. [22:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thank you so much for your help, kind sir.
  811. [22:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> Sorry we had to bother you so!
  812. [22:14] <nick_Varnegs> ((implied makeouts to cover sneaking around))
  813. [22:15] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> So did Highnesses find everything to be to their satisfaction the carapacian asks
  814. [22:16] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, other than Nick's unfortunate choking incident, the farms were most intriguing!
  815. [22:16] <Faerzen_Norstov> I only wish we had visited there on more favorable circumstances
  816. [22:16] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> And did Highnesses visit the mines, the figure asks
  817. [22:18] <nick_varnegs_> ...
  818. [22:18] <nick_varnegs_> just gimme a second
  819. [22:18] * Faerzen_Norstov looks quizzically
  820. [22:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> ...Okay. Are you sure you're okay?
  821. [22:19] * nick_varnegs_ aproaches faerzen's ear "im finishing the cover up"
  822. [22:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'll just be waiting outside
  823. [22:19] * Faerzen_Norstov floats up stairs, but rather than going outside, goes just around the corner out of view, flying so as to not make noise
  824. [22:19] <nick_varnegs_> so mr carapacian
  825. [22:20] <nick_varnegs_> i loved the farms
  826. [22:20] <nick_varnegs_> as my... ejem... friend faerzen said
  827. [22:20] <nick_varnegs_> they were quite intriguing
  828. [22:20] <nick_varnegs_> and we may take the tour one of these days
  829. [22:20] <nick_varnegs_> but we were... kinda occupied.... if you know what i mean...
  830. [22:20] * nick_varnegs_ wiggles eyebrow to carapacian
  831. [22:21] <nick_varnegs_> no word about this okay? ;)
  832. [22:21] * Faerzen_Norstov is agape in surprise
  833. [22:21] * nick_varnegs_ floats towards the door
  834. [22:21] * Faerzen_Norstov quickly flies up the stairs to outside
  835. [22:22] * nick_varnegs_ goes outside
  836. [22:22] <nick_varnegs_> oh, hi faerzen
  837. [22:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh... uh, hello!
  838. [22:22] <nick_varnegs_> i kinda gave us some extra cover up on our tracks
  839. [22:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> Everything okay?
  840. [22:22] <nick_varnegs_> no one will suspect anything
  841. [22:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> ...okay?
  842. [22:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> I am not certain how much additional cover up was necessary, but thank you.
  843. [22:23] <nick_varnegs_> ...covering our trip with implied rumors is quite effective i must say
  844. [22:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> What did you tell him?
  845. [22:23] <nick_varnegs_> implied makeouts
  846. [22:23] <nick_varnegs_> thats why i shaked your hair
  847. [22:23] <nick_varnegs_> hope you dont mind
  848. [22:24] * Faerzen_Norstov freezes
  849. [22:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> Wait, what?
  850. [22:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> Ohhhhhkay?
  851. [22:24] <nick_varnegs_> .i think i never heard you closing the door
  852. [22:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> I suppose that works?
  853. [22:24] <nick_varnegs_> you were listening right?
  854. [22:24] * nick_varnegs_ laughts
  855. [22:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> .....
  856. [22:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> yes.
  857. [22:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> I just wanted to make sure you were okay!
  858. [22:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> You were just choking on a feather, okay! I don't think it's unreasonable to make sure you weren't in trouble!
  859. [22:26] <nick_varnegs_> who know for how long that carapacian was there waiting!
  860. [22:27] <nick_varnegs_> i just gave him something believable!
  861. [22:27] <nick_varnegs_> well...
  862. [22:27] <nick_varnegs_> not believable
  863. [22:27] <nick_varnegs_> plausible
  864. [22:27] <nick_varnegs_> as a lie
  865. [22:27] <nick_varnegs_> that did not happen
  866. [22:27] <nick_varnegs_> yeah...
  867. [22:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> heehee! It's okay, Nick!
  868. [22:28] * nick_varnegs_ looks aroud awkwardly
  869. [22:28] <nick_varnegs_> :)
  870. [22:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> It was a.... creative plan. :)
  871. [22:29] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Hey! You two should kiss!>
  872. [22:29] <nick_varnegs_> ((at pls stop))
  873. [22:29] <nick_varnegs_> so... any ideas on what we should do now?
  874. [22:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> We could always investigate the smaller of the two Prospits!
  875. [22:30] <nick_varnegs_> sounds like a plan
  876. [22:30] <nick_varnegs_> after you my fake makeout comapanion
  877. [22:30] * nick_varnegs_ giggles like a child
  878. [22:30] <nick_varnegs_> sorry, couldn't resist
  879. [22:31] * Faerzen_Norstov rolls eyes
  880. [22:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> hahahahaha, okay, let's go!
  881. [22:31] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <What, no friendly kiss on the cheek? :P>
  882. [22:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> Heehee, just as long as that's not my permanent name!
  883. [22:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> <just you wait, AT>
  884. [22:32] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> ==>
  885. [22:32] <nick_varnegs_> don't worry, ill make sure to not to call you that
  886. [22:32] * nick_varnegs_ flies towards smaller prospit
  887. [22:32] * Faerzen_Norstov follows, laughing brightly
  888. [22:33] * nick_varnegs_ flips midflight effectively flying backwards
  889. [22:33] <nick_varnegs_> so... any ideas of what might be on the smaller one?
  890. [22:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> No idea!
  891. [22:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> It's much smaller radius would seem to make it much less desirable for mining as its volume to surface area ratio is much less than that of the larger Prospit
  892. [22:34] <nick_varnegs_> i hope is something far more interesting than an orb of glass
  893. [22:34] <nick_varnegs_> ...
  894. [22:34] <nick_varnegs_> i understand some of thos words
  895. [22:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> I do have a feeling that crystal was important somehow, but I agree, it was fairly anticlimactic!
  896. [22:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, silly me!
  897. [22:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> Heehee
  898. [22:35] <nick_varnegs_> you have to teach me future stuff one day faerzen
  899. [22:35] <Faerzen_Norstov> Uhhhh, basically there is much less volume present there so it would be less advantageous to mine there
  900. [22:35] <nick_varnegs_> yeah, i got that
  901. [22:35] <nick_varnegs_> maybe one day you should give me an mathematics course?
  902. [22:36] <nick_varnegs_> so i get up to date with all the advantages of numbers and all that
  903. [22:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> Very well! I will add that to the chemistry course I need to give you and the blacksmithing and forging courses you need to give me!
  904. [22:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> ;)
  905. [22:36] <nick_varnegs_> yay! cultural exchanges!
  906. [22:37] <nick_varnegs_> ...you used a crossbow right?
  907. [22:37] <nick_varnegs_> i think i could teach you a couple arrowsmithing tricks
  908. [22:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> "used"? I would put that in the present tense, Nick!
  909. [22:38] <nick_varnegs_> ah right! silly me
  910. [22:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have an archery target in my backyard we can shoot at together sometime!
  911. [22:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> I think it made it into this game at least....
  912. [22:38] <nick_varnegs_> uh...
  913. [22:38] <nick_varnegs_> about that
  914. [22:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> What's wrong?
  915. [22:38] <nick_varnegs_> i kinda used a messenger pidgeon to send my crossbow to byron
  916. [22:39] <nick_varnegs_> it should arrive one of this days
  917. [22:39] <nick_varnegs_> they fly insanely fast after all
  918. [22:39] <nick_varnegs_> leaving a wave on the air as they move
  919. [22:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh really?
  920. [22:39] <nick_varnegs_> yes
  921. [22:39] <nick_varnegs_> there's something wrong with those pidgeons
  922. [22:40] <nick_varnegs_> countries in seconds as franchesco used to say
  923. [22:40] <nick_varnegs_> i wonder who breeded them
  924. [22:40] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *bred
  925. [22:40] * nick_varnegs_ looks behind to see prospit moon's really close
  926. [22:40] <nick_varnegs_> oh... we are arriving at smaller prospit
  927. [22:41] <nick_varnegs_> population: us... and some other dreamers
  928. [22:41] <Faerzen_Norstov> I remember there was a building we saw near the bread festival that looked like it was important. Perhaps we could start there?
  929. [22:41] <nick_varnegs_> sounds good!
  930. [22:42] <nick_varnegs_> lead the way!
  931. [22:42] * Faerzen_Norstov flies towards big building from the festival
  932. [22:42] * nick_varnegs_ follows as usual
  933. [22:43] <Faerzen_Norstov> <AT?>
  934. [22:43] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <How much longer you guys wanna go?>
  935. [22:43] <nick_varnegs_> ((at you there?))
  936. [22:43] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <no€
  937. [22:43] <nick_varnegs_> ((i dunno... you busy?))
  938. [22:43] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <I'm open for another hour or so>
  939. [22:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> <we should finish by then>
  940. [22:44] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <ok, And you are heading to the castle?>
  941. [22:44] <nick_varnegs_> ((we should start getting sleepy or something))
  942. [22:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> <you there to DM a bit of exploration?>
  943. [22:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> <we're exploring the moon, trying to find the way down that Faerzen noticed during the bread festival
  944. [22:45] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <The what?>
  945. [22:45] <nick_varnegs_> ((bread festival, blame andres))
  946. [22:45] <nick_varnegs_> ((there was a building we noticed that could go down))
  947. [22:46] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <ugh. Stupid logic>
  948. [22:46] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You approach the building, it appears virtually identical to the farm building come earlier
  949. [22:46] <nick_varnegs_> this must be it
  950. [22:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> It does look familiar, doesn't it! heehee!
  951. [22:47] <nick_varnegs_> hehehehehe
  952. [22:47] * nick_varnegs_ knocks on the door
  953. [22:48] <nick_varnegs_> wait
  954. [22:48] <nick_varnegs_> i realized
  955. [22:48] <nick_varnegs_> how are we going to sneak out this time?
  956. [22:48] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The door is unlocked, you are bid to come in by a voice from inside
  957. [22:48] * Faerzen_Norstov enters
  958. [22:48] * Faerzen_Norstov whispers we may have to improvise! heehee
  959. [22:49] * nick_varnegs_ enters too
  960. [22:49] * nick_varnegs_ whispers back you lead
  961. [22:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hello?
  962. [22:49] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Another counter same as before
  963. [22:50] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> This attendant appears to be more feminine, however
  964. [22:50] <nick_varnegs_> hello there!
  965. [22:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> Greetings!
  966. [22:50] <nick_varnegs_> do you mind if we go downstairs?
  967. [22:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Hello Highnesses the figure says, you may certainly head downstairs
  968. [22:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Would you like a tour she asks
  969. [22:51] * nick_varnegs_ whispers what if we say no?
  970. [22:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do you mind if we just go for a walk?
  971. [22:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> It would kind of nice to stretch our legs in an area that is a bit... quieter and more secluded than outside.
  972. [22:52] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Feel free Highness she says
  973. [22:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> Excellent! Thank you very much.
  974. [22:52] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Looking at Nick and winking
  975. [22:52] <nick_varnegs_> great!
  976. [22:52] <nick_varnegs_> emm...
  977. [22:52] * Faerzen_Norstov heads down the stairs
  978. [22:52] * nick_varnegs_ whispers to faerzen... did she wink at me?
  979. [22:53] * Faerzen_Norstov ........ I think so.
  980. [22:53] * nick_varnegs_ follows faerzen downstairs
  981. [22:54] <nick_varnegs_> do rumors spread that fast?
  982. [22:54] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You arrive in a farm identical to the one from before
  983. [22:55] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Except there are no doors in the back
  984. [22:55] <nick_varnegs_> hmm?
  985. [22:55] <nick_varnegs_> interesting
  986. [22:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> I must admit, your strategy for developing reasons is quite effective! It deters questions.
  987. [22:55] <nick_varnegs_> there seems to not be a way down
  988. [22:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> What is interesting?
  989. [22:55] <nick_varnegs_> no stairs
  990. [22:56] <nick_varnegs_> well... we could stay in here for a while anyway
  991. [22:56] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> This farm stretches longer than the previous one you note
  992. [22:56] <nick_varnegs_> this farm is quite bigger
  993. [22:56] <nick_varnegs_> dont you think?
  994. [22:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hmmm...... Yes.... I do think you are correct
  995. [22:57] <nick_varnegs_> ... intriged by the machines once again?
  996. [22:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> A very peculiar development given how much smaller this location is.
  997. [22:57] <nick_varnegs_> i must admit they are works of beauty
  998. [22:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> No, I am going to avoid even trying to become distracted by them this time!
  999. [22:57] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> In the background you start to hear some noise fading into hearing range
  1000. [22:57] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> It sounds like...
  1001. [22:57] <nick_varnegs_> ...
  1002. [22:58] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Romantic music
  1003. [22:58] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The lights dim slightly
  1004. [22:58] <nick_varnegs_> wait what?
  1005. [22:58] <nick_varnegs_> is that what i think it is?
  1006. [22:58] <Spectating_K1> <HAhahahahahahahahhaha oh god my sides hahahahaha>
  1007. [22:58] <nick_varnegs_> gimme a second
  1008. [22:58] * Faerzen_Norstov rolls eyes
  1009. [22:58] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <I am best DM>
  1010. [22:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> Wow, okay, even I can't say I saw this coming.
  1011. [22:58] * nick_varnegs_ flies upstairs and tells the recepcionist to stop setting the mood
  1012. [22:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> These prospitians are just too damn helpful, aren't they!
  1013. [22:59] * nick_varnegs_ yells down the stairs yes they are
  1014. [22:59] * nick_varnegs_ yells again a little TOO helpful dont you think?
  1015. [22:59] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The receptionist grins at Ncik and replies with your request Highness of course
  1016. [23:00] * Faerzen_Norstov flies around farm looking for any other exits, as well as investigating the area of the farm that is larger
  1017. [23:00] <nick_varnegs_> thanks you
  1018. [23:00] * nick_varnegs_ flies back down
  1019. [23:00] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The farm seems to stretch on as deep as the mines and extends out of sight
  1020. [23:01] * nick_varnegs_ flies towards faerzen
  1021. [23:01] <nick_varnegs_> anything interesting in here?
  1022. [23:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> Nick, these farms seem to stretch on for miles!
  1023. [23:01] <nick_varnegs_> i know!
  1024. [23:02] <nick_varnegs_> its impressive!
  1025. [23:02] <nick_varnegs_> want to see how far they go?
  1026. [23:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, they seem to extend even further than the mines!
  1027. [23:03] <nick_varnegs_> ... how is that even possible
  1028. [23:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> There very well may be intriguing things beyond these golden fields of grain!
  1029. [23:03] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *yawn*
  1030. [23:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, it is curving around, let us make haste!
  1031. [23:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> We were descending straight to the center of the planet before!
  1032. [23:03] <nick_varnegs_> yawn* right, ill follow
  1033. [23:03] * Faerzen_Norstov flies off towards the other end of the farm
  1034. [23:03] * nick_varnegs_ begins flying behind faerzen
