- [17:24] <Nick_Varnegs> hmm?
- [17:24] <Nick_Varnegs> faerzen?
- [17:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> <you see Faerzen crumpled in a ball on the ground>
- [17:25] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
- [17:25] <Nick_Varnegs> faerzen
- [17:26] <Nick_Varnegs> you look like you need some help
- [17:26] * Nick_Varnegs extends hand
- [17:26] * Faerzen_Norstov stands up, untangling her skirt/dress thing and waving away the concerned Prospitians
- [17:26] * Faerzen_Norstov turns around as if looking for something, and then jumps upon seeing Nick floating right above her.
- [17:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh!
- [17:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hello!
- [17:27] <Nick_Varnegs> hello
- [17:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> What a coincidence meeting you here!
- [17:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> We seem to have quite the.... synchronized sleep schedule.
- [17:27] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
- [17:27] <Nick_Varnegs> right...
- [17:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> How.... have you been?
- [17:28] <Nick_Varnegs> ... i think we already discussed that faerzen, id prefer to not indulge into my mind any further
- [17:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, I wasn't trying to pry into that again!
- [17:28] <Nick_Varnegs> for it seems that quite some things are stored in there
- [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> oh.
- [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> sorry
- [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> i have been... well, quite good in here
- [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> its quiet
- [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> pretty
- [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> and all that
- [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> are you having trouble flying? it seems like it
- [17:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> Approximately how long have you been conscious here? I only just woke up!
- [17:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> Ah.
- [17:29] <Nick_Varnegs> a couple minutes
- [17:30] <Nick_Varnegs> i think we went to sleep aproximately at the same time
- [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!
- [17:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> OW!
- [17:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> (shit), that really hurt.
- [17:30] <Nick_Varnegs> look
- [17:31] <Nick_Varnegs> dont "manipulate" your dream
- [17:31] <Nick_Varnegs> just let it happen faerzen
- [17:31] <Nick_Varnegs> if you dont doubt the fact that you can fly it will happen by itself
- [17:31] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
- [17:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> I.... suppose that is more like what dreams are supposed to be like?
- [17:31] <Nick_Varnegs> yes
- [17:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> ....... last time I just let things happen though........
- [17:32] <Nick_Varnegs> who cares if part of you is an egomaniacal control freak?
- [17:32] <Nick_Varnegs> its part of you after all
- [17:32] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
- [17:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> .....
- [17:32] <Nick_Varnegs> you have been fixing that skirt for quite a while, what is wrong?
- [17:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> ..... yes, I suppose you are correct there.
- [17:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, this?
- [17:33] <Nick_Varnegs> ah right... i will suppose you are not that comfortable with being a girl anymore?
- [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!
- [17:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> The stupid thing! If I just had a pair of shorts, this would never be an issue.
- [17:34] <Nick_Varnegs> shorts you say?
- [17:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> But alas, there isn't much I can do about it now.
- [17:34] <Nick_Varnegs> come with me
- [17:34] * Nick_Varnegs begins flying towards his tower
- [17:34] * Faerzen_Norstov follows
- [17:35] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> ==>
- [17:35] <Nick_Varnegs> last time i checked there were a bunch of extra pajamas in the drawers
- [17:35] <Nick_Varnegs> ... er....
- [17:35] <Nick_Varnegs> see if they fit or something, ill be outside
- [17:35] * Nick_Varnegs goes outsid
- [17:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh.... thank you!
- [17:36] <Nick_Varnegs> dont mention it
- [17:36] * Faerzen_Norstov looks through drawers
- [17:36] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Nick, describe contents please>
- [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))
- [17:38] <Nick_Varnegs> ((it seems like they are just a tad bit big))
- [17:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((hmmmm....))
- [17:41] * Faerzen_Norstov holds several articles of clothing up to estimate size
- [17:41] * Faerzen_Norstov frowns in disappointment
- [17:42] * Nick_Varnegs from the outside of the tower "is everything okay?"
- [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.
- [17:43] * Nick_Varnegs humms a little song waiting
- [17:43] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yeah, everything is just splendid! Unfortuantely, it seems these will be a tad large, so I'm making a compromise!
- [17:43] * Nick_Varnegs from the outside "hmm? what kind of compromise thing are you doing?"
- [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
- [17:44] * Faerzen_Norstov meticulously straightens out the creases and folds
- [17:44] * Faerzen_Norstov puts the belt-less pants back in the drawer and flies out the window
- [17:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> Problem solved!
- [17:44] <Nick_Varnegs> uhh....
- [17:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> <you see what looks like a skirt, but with a bow around the waist>
- [17:45] <Nick_Varnegs> so... what did you do?
- [17:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> <what used to be a billowing dress has now been folded into pleats and is must more manageable now>
- [17:45] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <I have a feeling something is going to go horribly wrong here
- [17:45] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Oh, nevermind then>
- [17:45] <Nick_Varnegs> ((what))
- [17:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> <it looks more like an absurdly fancy skirt now>
- [17:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> I tucked and folded some things away so it takes up much less space now!
- [17:46] <Nick_Varnegs> i suppose that is going to prevent the flowing and tangling?
- [17:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> I hope you do not mind, but I borrowed an elastic cords from one of those pairs of pants.
- [17:46] <Nick_Varnegs> dont worry
- [17:46] <Nick_Varnegs> there's like 20 of those
- [17:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes! Now that it doesn't reach my ankles, hopefully it will be much better!
- [17:46] <Nick_Varnegs> ... do you think there is some sort of tailor in this place to make you properly fitting pants?
- [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.
- [17:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> Something about.... just letting things happen?
- [17:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> ;)
- [17:47] <Nick_Varnegs> yes
- [17:47] <Nick_Varnegs> :)
- [17:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> Before I so rudely interrupted you, what adventures were you off on?
- [17:47] <Nick_Varnegs> so...
- [17:47] <Nick_Varnegs> i was about to visit the catacombs
- [17:48] <Nick_Varnegs> remember them?
- [17:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> The catacombs? You mean the underground farms?
- [17:48] <Nick_Varnegs> yes
- [17:48] <Nick_Varnegs> but i suppose its not farms all the way down
- [17:48] <Nick_Varnegs> there is something else....
- [17:48] <Nick_Varnegs> i just know it
- [17:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, really?
- [17:49] <Nick_Varnegs> yep
- [17:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well a hunch sounds as reasonable a motivation as any to go on an adventure!
- [17:49] <Nick_Varnegs> yay!
- [17:49] <Nick_Varnegs> shall we go?
- [17:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do we wish to start with that particular tour we found earlier?
- [17:49] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
- [17:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> Perhaps we can take a couple.... detours. If you know what I mean! ;)
- [17:49] <Nick_Varnegs> i suppose
- [17:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'm sure they won't mind.
- [17:49] <Nick_Varnegs> hmmm....
- [17:50] <Nick_Varnegs> i hope so
- [17:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> We *are* in the royal court! (for some reason)
- [17:50] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Detours?>
- [17:50] <Nick_Varnegs> i always wondered about that
- [17:50] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Do I need to Improv some makeout points?>
- [17:50] <Nick_Varnegs> ((visiting other places bro))
- [17:50] <Nick_Varnegs> ((... no?))
- [17:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((oh god thats not what i meant ooc))
- [17:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> < *Lenny face*>
- [17:51] <Nick_Varnegs> ((the shipping is strong with this one))
- [17:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Where are you heading?>
- [17:51] <Nick_Varnegs> hey
- [17:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes?
- [17:51] <Nick_Varnegs> before we set off on that tour thing
- [17:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Also, Nick knows nothing of Faerzen's recent traumatic experience still>
- [17:52] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Just saying>
- [17:52] <Nick_Varnegs> do you remember where the entrance was?
- [17:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((hehehehe, teh secrets........))
- [17:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> I remember it was in a very large, important looking building!
- [17:52] <Nick_Varnegs> like that cathedral looking spire there?
- [17:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't know which particular one though. They all seem so ornate here....
- [17:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> Maybe? There's only one way to find out!
- [17:53] <Nick_Varnegs> after you
- [17:53] * Faerzen_Norstov extends elbow/arm
- [17:53] <Faerzen_Norstov> After you!
- [17:53] <Faerzen_Norstov> :)
- [17:53] <Nick_Varnegs> hehehehe...
- [17:54] * Nick_Varnegs slowly floats towards the building
- [17:54] <Nick_Varnegs> em...
- [17:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> <AT, what seems off about Nick?>
- [17:55] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <You don't know>
- [17:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> <You said something looked odd>
- [17:55] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <You just have a strange feeling>
- [17:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> <Oh>
- [17:55] <Nick_Varnegs> you know...
- [17:55] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <You can tell that something looks different, but you don't know what yet>
- [17:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes?
- [17:55] <Nick_Varnegs> something has been bothering me
- [17:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> What is the matter?
- [17:56] <Nick_Varnegs> do i look pale?
- [17:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> <does he?>
- [17:56] <Nick_Varnegs> i feel like i look paler than before
- [17:56] <Nick_Varnegs> maybe its just not being exposed to sun at all in here
- [17:56] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Not unless you want to look pale>
- [17:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> Have you looked in a mirror or similar reflection device? Why do you feel like that?
- [17:56] <Nick_Varnegs> or maybe its just my mind
- [17:56] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <That isn't the thing off about Nick's appearance though>
- [17:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> You seem fine to me!
- [17:57] <Nick_Varnegs> i feel... colder
- [17:57] <Nick_Varnegs> lets not get carried away with that kind of stuff....
- [17:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, well that doesn't seem very pleasant!
- [17:57] <Nick_Varnegs> lets just... go
- [17:57] * Nick_Varnegs knocks on the spire door
- [17:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> No, it's okay. Being cold is no good on an adventure.
- [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.
- [17:58] <Nick_Varnegs> hmm? what do you mean?
- [17:58] <Nick_Varnegs> ((gimme a minute))
- [17:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> Is that helping at all?
- [17:59] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Oh Bb>
- [17:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> <I chose those words very carefully>
- [17:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> <vigorously moves behind warm up>
- [17:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> <mmmmmmm>
- [18:01] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Mmmmmmmmmm>
- [18:01] <Nick_Varnegs> ((k im back))
- [18:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((niiiice))
- [18:02] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Smexy>
- [18:02] <Nick_Varnegs> y-yeah... that is better
- [18:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> When it gets cold back home in Norway, which it very often does, I usually do this to warm up.
- [18:02] * Nick_Varnegs actually doesn't feels warmer
- [18:02] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Ba-Dump*
- [18:02] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Ba-Dump*
- [18:02] <Nick_Varnegs> tell me about that place
- [18:03] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nick's heart rate increases
- [18:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh?
- [18:03] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
- [18:03] <Nick_Varnegs> norway
- [18:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Where are you actually from? I don't suppose I ever asked, other than the time period.
- [18:03] <Nick_Varnegs> tell me about it
- [18:03] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
- [18:03] <Nick_Varnegs> some place near france?
- [18:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Some context for my explanation would be very helpful!
- [18:03] <Nick_Varnegs> that's all i know
- [18:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Ah!
- [18:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Excellent.
- [18:04] <Nick_Varnegs> it was a simple time
- [18:04] <Nick_Varnegs> i never actually left my hometown
- [18:04] <Nick_Varnegs> not once
- [18:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> That is understandable though!
- [18:04] <Nick_Varnegs> what about you? you sound like the travel kind of person faerzen
- [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.
- [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.
- [18:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> I haven't traveled out of the country hardly at all.
- [18:05] <Nick_Varnegs> really?
- [18:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> But travel around the area is very common when I am from.
- [18:06] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Nick still getting shoulder massage during this?>
- [18:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> I lived outside of town on the edge of a great forest
- [18:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> <oh yeah>
- [18:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> There really are quite a lot of trees in Norway.
- [18:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> However, most people own some sort of device which transports you around quite easily.
- [18:07] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nick unintentionally begins to tune out Faerzen a little as romantic thought run through his head
- [18:07] <Nick_Varnegs> interesting
- [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!
- [18:08] * Nick_Varnegs is absent minded
- [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.
- [18:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> Are you sure you are feeling okay?
- [18:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> You seem very distracted?
- [18:08] <Nick_Varnegs> oh?!
- [18:08] <Nick_Varnegs> nothing i was just
- [18:08] <Nick_Varnegs> distracted thing for a second
- [18:09] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Nick blushes a bit*
- [18:09] <Nick_Varnegs> about that kind of place
- [18:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> No, it's okay. What about?
- [18:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> Ah.
- [18:09] <Nick_Varnegs> n-nothing?
- [18:09] <Nick_Varnegs> where you saying something about transport right?
- [18:09] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <It's like I have you two writing fanfiction with OCs while I stand there and say "Now Kiss!">
- [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.
- [18:10] <Faerzen_Norstov> What about you?
- [18:10] <Nick_Varnegs> ((this is canon fanfiction))
- [18:10] <Faerzen_Norstov> What was it like living in your town?
- [18:10] <Nick_Varnegs> it was really simple as i said earlier
- [18:10] <Nick_Varnegs> farmers woke up early
- [18:10] <Nick_Varnegs> merchants on the streets
- [18:11] <Nick_Varnegs> disease
- [18:11] <Nick_Varnegs> etc
- [18:11] <Nick_Varnegs> i remember franchesco though...
- [18:11] <Nick_Varnegs> he was a good man, a blacksmith
- [18:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oooh, I've always found the forging of metals to be very interesting.
- [18:12] <Nick_Varnegs> you should have seen him!
- [18:12] <Faerzen_Norstov> I wish I could have!
- [18:12] <Nick_Varnegs> he was simply the best there was!
- [18:12] <Nick_Varnegs> give him a hammer and an piece of iron and he'll make armament worthy of gods!
- [18:12] <Nick_Varnegs> .. i miss him
- [18:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'm sorry to hear that. :(
- [18:13] <Nick_Varnegs> ... no, its okay
- [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.
- [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!
- [18:13] <Nick_Varnegs> basement?
- [18:14] <Nick_Varnegs> really?!
- [18:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have a workshop!
- [18:14] <Nick_Varnegs> i think franchesco's forge could still work!
- [18:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> It's fairly rudimentary, really, but it's better than nothgin.
- [18:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, is that was that is outside your house?
- [18:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, I think it might!
- [18:14] <Nick_Varnegs> i would love to resume the family business in his honor
- [18:14] <Nick_Varnegs> yes
- [18:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> That sounds like a most noble goal indeed.
- [18:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> Let's set our eyes on that. For what we're fighting for. :)
- [18:15] <Nick_Varnegs> maybe one day faerzen... :)
- [18:15] <Nick_Varnegs> sounds good...
- [18:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> There.
- [18:15] * Faerzen_Norstov stops arm warming thing
- [18:15] * Nick_Varnegs thinks "as long as everything doesn't spirals out of control...."
- [18:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> Does that feel any betteR?
- [18:15] <Nick_Varnegs> yeah
- [18:16] * Nick_Varnegs knocks on the door again
- [18:16] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nick, Roll me a Con check
- [18:16] * Faerzen_Norstov thinks "as long as everything doesn't spiral out of control......"
- [18:16] <Nick_Varnegs> roll 1d20+3
- [18:16] <`DICE> Nick_Varnegs rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=3 ]{6}
- [18:16] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The door is unlocked, and you hear a Carapacian bid you come in
- [18:17] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nick, you feel something dry in the back of your throat
- [18:17] <Nick_Varnegs> shall we proceed?
- [18:17] <Nick_Varnegs> *cough
- [18:17] * Nick_Varnegs opens the door
- [18:17] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> It is a bit itchy, and your voice sounds a bit hoarse when you speak
- [18:17] * Faerzen_Norstov thumps Nick's back
- [18:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> You all right?
- [18:17] <Nick_Varnegs> y-yeah
- [18:18] <Nick_Varnegs> i must be catching a cold
- [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....
- [18:19] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *cough cough*
- [18:19] <Nick_Varnegs> who even though a dream version of me would get sick!
- [18:19] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The carapacian bids Highnesses come in if they so desire
- [18:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, please!
- [18:19] <Nick_Varnegs> why not
- [18:19] * Nick_Varnegs enters
- [18:19] * Faerzen_Norstov follows
- [18:20] <Nick_Varnegs> he- *cough* hello?
- [18:20] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The carapacian stands begin a desk, a door to his right
- [18:21] <Nick_Varnegs> ex-*cough* excuse us, but how can we reach the underground levels?
- [18:22] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The officer explains that he can gladly take Highnesses on a tour of the farms
- [18:22] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Should they desire
- [18:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> Excellent. Thank you!
- [18:22] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The officer takes out a key from behind his desk and unlocks the door before starting down the staircase
- [20:49] * Faerzen_Norstov goes down staircase
- [20:49] * nick_Varnegs follows
- [20:49] <nick_Varnegs> so tell me
- [20:49] <nick_Varnegs> how has everything been in the land of...
- [20:49] <nick_Varnegs> wait
- [20:49] <nick_Varnegs> what was your land called?
- [20:50] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Footsteps echo down the staircase*
- [20:50] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Nick coughs a bit*
- [20:50] <nick_Varnegs> definetively sick...
- [20:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> The Land of Wicks and Bulbs, I believe
- [20:50] <nick_Varnegs> sounds pretty
- [20:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> It really is gorgeous!
- [20:50] <nick_Varnegs> so... how is everything going on there?
- [20:50] <nick_Varnegs> *cough
- [20:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Roll CON>
- [20:51] <nick_Varnegs> roll 1d20+3
- [20:51] <`DICE> nick_Varnegs rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=4 ]{7}
- [20:51] <nick_Varnegs> *COUGH
- [20:51] <nick_Varnegs> sorry faerzen
- [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
- [20:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You feel something sliding around in the back of your throat
- [20:52] * nick_Varnegs gags
- [20:52] <nick_Varnegs> w-wait
- [20:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh my gosh, are you okay!?!?!
- [20:52] <nick_Varnegs> there's something wrong
- [20:52] * nick_Varnegs gags again
- [20:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> What's wrong?!?!
- [20:52] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The carapacian stops
- [20:52] <nick_Varnegs> f-*cough*fuck
- [20:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> Excuse me sir (to the prospitian), do you have any medical supplies???
- [20:52] * nick_Varnegs falls down to his knees
- [20:53] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The prospitian asks what kind of supplies?
- [20:53] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Faerzen, feel free to make a medicine check when relevant>
- [20:53] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do you have anything to drink? A bucket or other containers in case Nick gets sick?
- [20:53] * Faerzen_Norstov starts fanning Nick
- [20:54] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The prospitian hurries upstairs in answer to your question
- [20:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> You should loosen the collar around your shirt to give you some room to breathe
- [20:54] * nick_Varnegs is in the ground coughing
- [20:54] * nick_Varnegs does so
- [20:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do you think some water would help? You can just nod or shake your head.
- [20:55] * nick_Varnegs shakes his head
- [20:55] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Faerzen, being extremely helpful>
- [20:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> What's wrong????
- [20:55] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Fanning the guy choking :P >
- [20:55] <nick_Varnegs> there's *COUGH* something on m- *COUGH* my throat
- [20:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, you're choking???!?!?
- [20:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh god
- [20:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> Here, I haven't actually used this on a real person yet, but....
- [20:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> The Heimlich Maneuver is all I've got.
- [20:56] <nick_Varnegs> ((maybe a medicine check?))
- [20:56] * Faerzen_Norstov positions herself behind nick and hugs his abdomen
- [20:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> roll 1d20+2
- [20:56] <`DICE> Faerzen_Norstov rolled 1d20+2 [ 1d20=20 ]{22}
- [20:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((YESSSSS))
- [20:56] <nick_Varnegs> ((yes))
- [20:57] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nick, roll me a Con check
- [20:57] <nick_Varnegs> roll 1d20+3
- [20:57] <`DICE> nick_Varnegs rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=20 ]{23}
- [20:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((YESSSSSS))
- [20:57] <nick_Varnegs> ((fuck yeah))
- [20:57] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Well fuck>
- [20:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((I think we just won))
- [20:57] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nick coughs up a single black crow's feather
- [20:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> Is there more?
- [20:58] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Are there more>
- [20:58] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Grammar Faerzen>
- [20:58] <nick_Varnegs> w*cough* what was that?!
- [20:58] * nick_Varnegs fixes throat
- [20:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> <geez>
- [20:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> <you can't grammar when your friend is choking, dude>
- [20:59] <nick_Varnegs> How did that get there?!
- [20:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> Are.... you okay now?
- [20:59] * Faerzen_Norstov releases Nick's stomach
- [20:59] <nick_Varnegs> i... yes
- [21:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> That was....... very peculiar
- [21:00] <nick_Varnegs> i owe you my life faerzen
- [21:00] <nick_Varnegs> thanks
- [21:00] <nick_Varnegs> i know...
- [21:00] * nick_Varnegs picks up gooey crow feather
- [21:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, don't worry about it! I'm surprised that worked myself, honestly.
- [21:00] <nick_Varnegs> how did this even get here...
- [21:00] <nick_Varnegs> :)
- [21:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> Dreams certainly tend to not make much sense, but this really is an outlier.
- [21:01] <nick_Varnegs> we should go get that little guy
- [21:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> Or........ we could go exploring!
- [21:01] <nick_Varnegs> hey!...
- [21:01] <nick_Varnegs> good idea
- [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.
- [21:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> But this feather.....
- [21:02] <nick_Varnegs> i had another plan to get rid of the litte guy
- [21:02] <nick_Varnegs> but anyways
- [21:02] <nick_Varnegs> if you want to leave him behind
- [21:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, you did?
- [21:02] <nick_Varnegs> kinda
- [21:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> What was that?
- [21:02] <nick_Varnegs> ... a great plan of persuation and lies
- [21:02] <nick_Varnegs> and a lot of implying
- [21:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> That.... certainly is quite a mysterious and vague plan!
- [21:03] <nick_Varnegs> hehehehehehe
- [21:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> I am glad we do not have to resort to it though.
- [21:03] <nick_Varnegs> we should just go down before he comes back
- [21:03] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You can hear scurrying footsteps above you
- [21:03] <nick_Varnegs> QUICK!
- [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
- [21:03] * nick_Varnegs flies down the stairs
- [21:04] * Faerzen_Norstov remembers she can fly and then flies >.<
- [21:04] <nick_Varnegs> ((dammit.. ill just go with faerzen's))
- [21:04] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <lel>
- [21:05] * nick_Varnegs whispers... do you have any idea where we are going?
- [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
- [21:05] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You end up flying
- [21:05] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> A large factory like floor extends in front of you
- [21:05] * Faerzen_Norstov grins widely and shakes head "no" quite vigorously
- [21:05] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> On which thousands of rows of wheat stretch forth
- [21:06] * nick_Varnegs whispers and says "i like this adventuring side of you"
- [21:06] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Is it getting hot in here? Or is it just me?>
- [21:06] <nick_Varnegs> i suppose this must be the farms
- [21:06] <nick_Varnegs> ((no its not))
- [21:07] <nick_Varnegs> its incredible!
- [21:07] * Faerzen_Norstov whispers heehee, it's fun discovering something new, is it not?
- [21:07] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Above the factory floor you can see machines harvesting the wheat extending from above
- [21:07] * Faerzen_Norstov gestures to the two of us and then points further away from where we currently are
- [21:07] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> And a set of doors on the far sides of the farm
- [21:08] * nick_Varnegs whispers... what do you have in mind?
- [21:08] * Faerzen_Norstov flies over towards the center of an area of wheat
- [21:08] * nick_Varnegs follows
- [21:08] * Faerzen_Norstov plops down in a plot of wheat
- [21:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> I thought it would be good to put some distance between us and that guard!
- [21:09] <nick_Varnegs> ... i should be carefull about being there
- [21:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> We should be a bit more concealed over here, rather than floating right above the entrance!
- [21:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> What do you mean?
- [21:09] <nick_Varnegs> those machines dont look that safe you know?
- [21:09] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <What happened to the feather might I ask?>
- [21:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((didn't nick grab it?))
- [21:09] <nick_Varnegs> ((i left it on the staircase))
- [21:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((he said he was looking at it))
- [21:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((rip))
- [21:10] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Just wondering>
- [21:10] <nick_Varnegs> ((ok...)
- [21:10] <nick_Varnegs> how deep do you think this place goes?
- [21:10] <Faerzen_Norstov> I haven't the foggiest!
- [21:10] <nick_Varnegs> neither have i
- [21:10] * nick_Varnegs grins
- [21:11] <nick_Varnegs> lets look for some more stairs
- [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.
- [21:11] <nick_Varnegs> ;)
- [21:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> But I suppose we will need to find out for ourselves!
- [21:11] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <I'm totally gonna find a way to make farming and mining romantic>
- [21:11] <nick_Varnegs> i wonder what is at the bottom
- [21:11] * Faerzen_Norstov looks up at the ceiling, mesmerized by the machines
- [21:12] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The machines dance in graceful leaps
- [21:12] <nick_Varnegs> ... do you know how these work?
- [21:12] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Threshing the grain internally
- [21:12] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hmmmm.....
- [21:12] <nick_Varnegs> they look far too complicated for me
- [21:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> roll 1d20+3
- [21:13] <`DICE> Faerzen_Norstov rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=6 ]{9}
- [21:13] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <what you rolling?>
- [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!
- [21:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> It's difficult to tell exactly how they are able to move with such finesse. It's amazing!
- [21:13] <nick_Varnegs> interesting!
- [21:14] <nick_Varnegs> do you think we should move before they reach this area?
- [21:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> <does there appear to be any light sources for the plants on the ceiling?>
- [21:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> I....... suppose
- [21:14] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <yes>
- [21:14] * nick_Varnegs floats up
- [21:14] * Faerzen_Norstov still stands there watching the delicate and precise dance on the ceiling
- [21:15] * nick_Varnegs watches the finesse of modern machinery
- [21:15] * Faerzen_Norstov begins recording a video on her e-glasses
- [21:16] <Faerzen_Norstov> And...... those lights........
- [21:16] <Faerzen_Norstov> ....pretty.......
- [21:16] <nick_Varnegs> maybe one of these days we should take the tour?
- [21:16] <nick_Varnegs> instead of sneaking out towards adventure?
- [21:16] <nick_Varnegs> hehehehe
- [21:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> .......mhmmm.......
- [21:17] * Faerzen_Norstov still very much just watching the ceiling and not paying any attention to you
- [21:17] * nick_Varnegs looks around the room for more stairs
- [21:17] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> there might be some stairs beyond those doors in the back
- [21:18] * nick_Varnegs to himself "she must be cautivated by these machines... they are rather interesting"
- [21:19] * nick_Varnegs points towards doors "what do you think there is behind those?"
- [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
- [21:19] <nick_Varnegs> "hey?.. faerzen?"
- [21:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> ...mmhmmmmm.....
- [21:20] * nick_Varnegs clicks his fingers
- [21:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> ...huh?
- [21:20] <nick_Varnegs> "i almost though i lost you there"
- [21:20] * Faerzen_Norstov makes a big downward gesture as if to wipe clean her field of vision and turns to Nick
- [21:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> ....what?
- [21:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh.
- [21:21] * Faerzen_Norstov shakes head vigorously
- [21:21] <nick_Varnegs> "you seemed way more distracted than me back up there!"
- [21:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, sorry about that
- [21:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> They're so beautiful!
- [21:21] <nick_Varnegs> "you like machines i suppose?"
- [21:21] <nick_Varnegs> "they are indeed a work of art"
- [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
- [21:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> Those are always so blocky and regimented and direct
- [21:22] <nick_Varnegs> ill suppose tou like the "flow" of these?
- [21:22] <nick_Varnegs> how rythmical the movements are and all that?
- [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
- [21:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes! That's an excellent way of putting it.
- [21:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> Flow.
- [21:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> Anyways, what were you saying?
- [21:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> I cannot say I was paying very much attention. :/
- [21:24] <nick_Varnegs> there are a couple doors back there...
- [21:24] <nick_Varnegs> dont worry, sometimes i forget to actually pay attention too
- [21:24] <nick_Varnegs> i get lost in my thoughs
- [21:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh yes! I saw those on the way in. Did you desire to investigate?
- [21:24] <nick_Varnegs> do you?
- [21:25] <nick_Varnegs> ...
- [21:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> Of couse!
- [21:25] <nick_Varnegs> ill take that as a yes?
- [21:25] <nick_Varnegs> good!
- [21:26] * nick_Varnegs floats slowly towards the doors
- [21:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> Here, let me briefly take a moment to save this video with the other video of LOWAB.
- [21:26] * Faerzen_Norstov follows soon after
- [21:26] <nick_Varnegs> pray tell faerzen, before i choked on bird you were talking about the land of wicks and bulbs...
- [21:26] <nick_Varnegs> what is your current situation on the planet?
- [21:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, I dare say I'm rather stuck at the moment
- [21:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have a predicament, you might say
- [21:28] <nick_Varnegs> you still havent gotten the guy to build?
- [21:28] <nick_Varnegs> what was his name?
- [21:28] <nick_Varnegs> carlos?
- [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
- [21:28] <nick_Varnegs> oh no :c
- [21:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> And without it, I fear for what I might find further down the tower!
- [21:28] <nick_Varnegs> can you fix it?
- [21:29] * nick_Varnegs opens double doors
- [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!
- [21:29] <nick_Varnegs> please be careful faerzen
- [21:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> <dat echeladder>
- [21:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have taken a cursory look at the machine
- [21:29] <nick_Varnegs> ((what?))
- [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
- [21:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((still haven't leveled up essentially since entering))
- [21:30] <nick_Varnegs> hmm.... i hope it "unjams" somehow
- [21:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> So for now, I have resigned to waiting
- [21:30] <nick_Varnegs> ((goddammit at))
- [21:30] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Was afk there, am catching up now>
- [21:30] <nick_Varnegs> ((at, give this guy a level or something))
- [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!
- [21:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> So for now, I am waiting on Carlos to build and on my alchemiter to begin functioning
- [21:31] <nick_Varnegs> oh no...
- [21:31] <nick_Varnegs> please tell me you'll take care
- [21:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> I will try!
- [21:31] <nick_Varnegs> great!
- [21:31] <nick_Varnegs> also, if it wasn't that much asking
- [21:31] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Wait, crap, what level are you Faerzen?>
- [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.
- [21:31] <nick_Varnegs> could you send me his esperchum name later?
- [21:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> <3>
- [21:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, I can most certainly do that
- [21:32] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Aight, give yourself 2 levels Aberrant>
- [21:32] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <I'm so bad at handing out levels>
- [21:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> I will warn you, he is rather..... odd
- [21:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> <NICE>
- [21:33] <nick_Varnegs> odd?
- [21:33] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You open the double doors, to reveal a short staircase
- [21:33] <nick_Varnegs> how so?
- [21:33] <nick_Varnegs> hey! more stairs!
- [21:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> He is convinced that none of this, or any of the people here are actually real
- [21:33] <nick_Varnegs> oh...
- [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
- [21:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> As I'm sure you very well found out last time we were dreaming.
- [21:34] <nick_Varnegs> ... i imagine so
- [21:34] <nick_Varnegs> it was not frustrating!
- [21:34] <nick_Varnegs> it was just...
- [21:34] <nick_Varnegs> err
- [21:34] <nick_Varnegs> no, i dont have a word for that
- [21:35] * nick_Varnegs begins descending stairs
- [21:35] <Faerzen_Norstov> He also..... yeah..... sometimes he says things that made me uncomfortable.
- [21:35] <Faerzen_Norstov> I haven't heard a peep from him since then though.
- [21:35] * nick_Varnegs stops
- [21:35] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> A relatively small catwalk extends over a massive pit mine
- [21:35] <nick_Varnegs> wait what?
- [21:35] <nick_Varnegs> what kind of stuff?
- [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
- [21:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> Especially given the state of my dream self.
- [21:36] <nick_Varnegs> oh...
- [21:36] <nick_Varnegs> i see
- [21:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> I had just alchemized something and was trying it on
- [21:36] <nick_Varnegs> mind if i have a word with him about him? a couple lies dont hurt anybody ;)
- [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
- [21:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> So he caught me in a dress and it led to some awkward conversations.
- [21:37] <nick_Varnegs> this game is quite conviced in you being a girl
- [21:37] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Nick's mind jumps to thoughts of Faerzen in a... More romantic dress*
- [21:37] <nick_Varnegs> ehhh.....
- [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
- [21:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> But he seemed very confused at the moment.
- [21:38] <nick_Varnegs> weird
- [21:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, it was, but it was quite some time ago.
- [21:38] <nick_Varnegs> i expect to meet him one of these days
- [21:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> I haven't heard from him in a while, so I hope he is okay!
- [21:38] <nick_Varnegs> have a word or two
- [21:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> I should check in on him when I wake up!!!
- [21:39] <nick_Varnegs> yeah!
- [21:39] <nick_Varnegs> do so!
- [21:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> That would probably be funny to do.
- [21:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> :)
- [21:39] * nick_Varnegs floats along catwalk
- [21:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> Wow, these stairs are long!
- [21:39] <nick_Varnegs> is this a mine?
- [21:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> It looks like it!
- [21:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't even want to think about how far down that pit goes
- [21:39] <nick_Varnegs> what kind of mining would a planet like this have?
- [21:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'm not sure? Gold, perhaps?
- [21:40] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The mine extends seemingly for thousands of miles
- [21:40] <nick_Varnegs> ... that would explain a lot of stuff
- [21:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> It is rather difficult to ponder when quite literally everything here is made of exactly the same material
- [21:40] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> It gives you a grander sense of infinity than infinity itself
- [21:40] <nick_Varnegs> want to check it out?
- [21:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> Sure!
- [21:40] * nick_Varnegs extends hand
- [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.
- [21:41] * Faerzen_Norstov takes hand
- [21:41] <Faerzen_Norstov> Away we go!
- [21:41] * nick_Varnegs begins descending really far
- [21:41] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Faerzen feels an urge to giggle femininely*
- [21:41] * Faerzen_Norstov looks around while descending
- [21:42] <nick_Varnegs> *fast
- [21:42] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> you can see hole gets wider and wider as you descend
- [21:42] <Faerzen_Norstov> Heehee, it's so big!
- [21:42] <nick_Varnegs> WAIT!... what did you say about abysses?
- [21:42] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You rapidly approach the center of the planetoid
- [21:42] <Faerzen_Norstov> I can't even imagine what all these adorable little Prospitian would want to do with all of this stone!
- [21:42] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hmm? What, Nick?
- [21:42] <nick_Varnegs> neither i!
- [21:42] * nick_Varnegs stops midair
- [21:43] <nick_Varnegs> something... about an abyss
- [21:43] * Faerzen_Norstov stops too
- [21:43] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'm.. not sure what you mean?
- [21:43] * Faerzen_Norstov looks quizzically at Nick
- [21:43] <nick_Varnegs> you said you had enough of falling into dark abysses today
- [21:43] <nick_Varnegs> is everything okay?
- [21:43] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh. I said that out loud?
- [21:44] <nick_Varnegs> ... yes?
- [21:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yeah, that was not a particularly enjoyable day.
- [21:44] <nick_Varnegs> oh...
- [21:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> I was very prepared for a great slew of traps in one particular room in my tower
- [21:44] <nick_Varnegs> i think i know what kind of experience that was
- [21:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> And it turns out the actual trap was the one trap that could get around all my defenses!
- [21:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> The whole room, as if just to spite me, simply exploded and threw me out the window!
- [21:45] <nick_Varnegs> oh no!
- [21:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thankfully I made a parachute earlier and was able to land safely
- [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
- [21:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thankfully my sprite was very helpful on that front.
- [21:46] <nick_Varnegs> ...
- [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.
- [21:46] <nick_Varnegs> i feel like you are skipping stuff
- [21:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> Imagine being lost in an endless swirling mass of black fog!
- [21:46] <nick_Varnegs> but dont worry
- [21:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> I kept trying to navigate my way out, but going in circles
- [21:46] <nick_Varnegs> ... i imagine
- [21:47] <nick_Varnegs> was there something else down there?
- [21:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> Even my flashlight was less than effective
- [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
- [21:48] <nick_Varnegs> oh no
- [21:48] <nick_Varnegs> dont go further
- [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
- [21:48] <nick_Varnegs> i understand
- [21:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> I had a difficult enough time trying to write a map!
- [21:48] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Nick, you remember reading somewhere that it helps people to talk about psychological trauma>
- [21:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thank you, I would prefer to think of other things. I really, really do not like being lost.
- [21:49] * nick_Varnegs hugs faerzen
- [21:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> <wow, at, wow>
- [21:49] * Faerzen_Norstov hugs back
- [21:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thank you.
- [21:49] <nick_Varnegs> i understand if you dont want to talk faerzen....
- [21:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> I found a book down there....
- [21:49] <nick_Varnegs> books?
- [21:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> and I am in the process of trying to read it
- [21:49] * nick_Varnegs stops hugging
- [21:49] <nick_Varnegs> really?
- [21:49] <nick_Varnegs> what is is about?
- [21:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> But it is very very dense and difficult to read.
- [21:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> It is about this game!
- [21:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> And how it works and our role inside that game.
- [21:50] <nick_Varnegs> you will have to show me that book one day
- [21:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> But it is unfortunately confusing to understand.
- [21:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, I should!
- [21:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> It is unfortunately huge and very heave so I have no intention of taking it anywhere for the time being
- [21:50] <nick_Varnegs> great!
- [21:50] <nick_Varnegs> interesting
- [21:51] <nick_Varnegs> hey... uh....
- [21:51] <nick_Varnegs> i think we were going down?
- [21:51] * nick_Varnegs begins descending once again
- [21:51] <nick_Varnegs> want to keep going?
- [21:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, why not!
- [21:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You can see the core in the distance
- [21:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Slowly growing larger as you approach
- [21:52] <nick_Varnegs> is that...
- [21:52] <nick_Varnegs> the core?!
- [21:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> What is this? It looks like there is something floating in the middle!
- [21:52] <nick_Varnegs> how can a mine go so deep?!
- [21:52] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> An unimpressive transparent Crystal lies as the core of the planet
- [21:52] <nick_Varnegs> why doesn't this surprise me?... its not even hot
- [21:52] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Machines scuttle all over the surface, harvesting anything they can
- [21:53] <nick_Varnegs> what are this things?!
- [21:53] <Faerzen_Norstov> This is most.... intriguing!
- [21:53] <nick_Varnegs> this is quite the mistery what we have in hands
- [21:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> Indeeed.....
- [21:54] * nick_Varnegs leans towards crystal, pressing his face in it
- [21:54] * Faerzen_Norstov floats closer, trying to investigate what it is the machines are harvesting
- [21:54] <nick_Varnegs> what can be so important to encase in crystal?
- [21:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do you see something inside of there?
- [21:55] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nothing lies inside
- [21:55] <nick_Varnegs> hmmm...
- [21:55] <nick_Varnegs> nope
- [21:55] <nick_Varnegs> its empty
- [21:55] <nick_Varnegs> as far as i can see there is nothing in there
- [21:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> <interesting plot developement, at....... ;) >
- [21:56] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <It is the crsytal the prototyping spires are made from>
- [21:56] <nick_Varnegs> ((arent those outside the planet?))
- [21:56] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <No?>
- [21:56] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <I don't think it says in canon>
- [21:56] <nick_Varnegs> ((hmmm....))
- [21:57] <nick_Varnegs> i wonder what kind of thing this is
- [21:57] <nick_Varnegs> hey faerzen! did you figure out what those machines are for?
- [21:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> This crystal looks familiar, but I can't place it.
- [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.
- [21:58] <nick_Varnegs> weird
- [21:58] <nick_Varnegs> i suppose that this must be quite important to be in the center of the planet
- [21:59] <nick_Varnegs> if we even are close to i
- [21:59] <nick_Varnegs> *it
- [21:59] <nick_Varnegs> can you see anything else around here?
- [22:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> For being in the middle of an open chasm, it's surprisingly bright down here!
- [22:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'll fly around and see if I can find anything. :)
- [22:00] <nick_Varnegs> mind if i follow?
- [22:01] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Just stone quarrying machines>
- [22:01] <nick_Varnegs> this place kind of creeps me out
- [22:01] * nick_Varnegs rubs his own arms
- [22:02] <nick_Varnegs> its cold in here or just my imagination?
- [22:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> We can make our departure soon if you would like!
- [22:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> There doesn't appear to be much else down here.
- [22:02] <nick_Varnegs> how dissapointing :c
- [22:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> We are quite far from the warm exterior light of Skaia
- [22:02] <nick_Varnegs> i expected a greater mistery
- [22:02] <nick_Varnegs> yeah...
- [22:03] <nick_Varnegs> ... do you think there is something on the smaller prospit?
- [22:03] <nick_Varnegs> the one our towers are on
- [22:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> <wait, is that not where we were?>
- [22:03] <nick_Varnegs> ((nope))
- [22:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> <oh whoops everything makes sense again>
- [22:04] <nick_Varnegs> ((i think so))
- [22:04] <nick_Varnegs> ((i remember writing about descending to the planet in one of my commands))
- [22:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> <AT?>
- [22:04] <nick_Varnegs> so... up we go then?
- [22:05] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Well there are Prospitians on both celestial bodies€
- [22:05] <nick_Varnegs> ((lets say this is big prospit))
- [22:05] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Lets say you are on Prospit>
- [22:05] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <And not the moon>
- [22:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, sadly that does seem the only intriguing course of action left
- [22:05] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <The center of the moon == Questbeds>
- [22:05] <nick_Varnegs> WAIT! something comes to mind... what are we going to say to the little man?
- [22:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> Let us think while we fly!
- [22:06] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Tell him you were making out>
- [22:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> It will take us a while to get back tot he top.
- [22:06] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <*wink wink*>
- [22:06] <nick_Varnegs> ((that would work))
- [22:06] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <God damn I'm smooth>
- [22:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> <so gud>
- [22:07] <nick_Varnegs> ((smoth as sandpaper))
- [22:07] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <So smooth I'm flipping tripping over myself>
- [22:07] * Faerzen_Norstov flies up
- [22:07] * nick_Varnegs begins going going up
- [22:07] <nick_Varnegs> any ideas?
- [22:08] <nick_Varnegs> because im not fond of telling him we were sneaking around
- [22:09] * nick_Varnegs begins thinking of a cunning lie
- [22:09] * nick_Varnegs fails todo so
- [22:09] <nick_Varnegs> nope... nothing comes to mind
- [22:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> We could relate it to your choking incident.
- [22:09] <nick_Varnegs> what about you?
- [22:09] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You arrive back at the catwalk
- [22:09] <nick_Varnegs> and.... back here!
- [22:09] <nick_Varnegs> how could we?
- [22:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> It is often easier to weave a lie if you weave in threads of the truth as well.
- [22:10] <Faerzen_Norstov> We could say that your choking for even worse, and that we ran downstairs to try and find more help
- [22:10] <nick_Varnegs> ok... i like that start
- [22:10] <nick_Varnegs> but he'll see the feather in the staircase!
- [22:10] <nick_Varnegs> ...
- [22:11] <nick_Varnegs> i have just ONE idea but its going to be quite embarassing for both of us
- [22:11] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <And then you started to have sloppy Makeouts, Nick blurts out, I want this to happen so bad>
- [22:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> We could say that was one of several you were choking on
- [22:11] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You arrive back in the farms
- [22:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> And we were able to get one out before we decided to depart for the farms
- [22:11] <nick_Varnegs> sounds good!
- [22:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> What is your proposal?
- [22:12] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The carapacian is waiting anxiously at the bottom of the stairs
- [22:12] <nick_Varnegs> in case he doesn't believe it
- [22:12] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Holding a bucket and a large glass of water
- [22:12] * nick_Varnegs shakes faerzen's hair out of view of the carapacian
- [22:12] * nick_Varnegs shakes own hair
- [22:12] <nick_Varnegs> do you have any ways of blushing quickly?
- [22:13] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Is Highness quite alright?
- [22:13] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The carapacian seems to be asking
- [22:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> I believe he is now!
- [22:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> He gave us quite a fright back there.
- [22:13] <nick_Varnegs> yes!
- [22:13] <nick_Varnegs> dont worry about anything
- [22:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> I think he is okay now, though.
- [22:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> Would you like some water, Nick?
- [22:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> We couldn't failed any further down, unfortunately
- [22:13] <nick_Varnegs> ... sure faerzen!
- [22:14] * nick_Varnegs cordially takes the glass of water from the carapacian and winks at him
- [22:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thank you so much for your help, kind sir.
- [22:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> Sorry we had to bother you so!
- [22:14] <nick_Varnegs> ((implied makeouts to cover sneaking around))
- [22:15] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> So did Highnesses find everything to be to their satisfaction the carapacian asks
- [22:16] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, other than Nick's unfortunate choking incident, the farms were most intriguing!
- [22:16] <Faerzen_Norstov> I only wish we had visited there on more favorable circumstances
- [22:16] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> And did Highnesses visit the mines, the figure asks
- [22:18] <nick_varnegs_> ...
- [22:18] <nick_varnegs_> just gimme a second
- [22:18] * Faerzen_Norstov looks quizzically
- [22:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> ...Okay. Are you sure you're okay?
- [22:19] * nick_varnegs_ aproaches faerzen's ear "im finishing the cover up"
- [22:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'll just be waiting outside
- [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
- [22:19] <nick_varnegs_> so mr carapacian
- [22:20] <nick_varnegs_> i loved the farms
- [22:20] <nick_varnegs_> as my... ejem... friend faerzen said
- [22:20] <nick_varnegs_> they were quite intriguing
- [22:20] <nick_varnegs_> and we may take the tour one of these days
- [22:20] <nick_varnegs_> but we were... kinda occupied.... if you know what i mean...
- [22:20] * nick_varnegs_ wiggles eyebrow to carapacian
- [22:21] <nick_varnegs_> no word about this okay? ;)
- [22:21] * Faerzen_Norstov is agape in surprise
- [22:21] * nick_varnegs_ floats towards the door
- [22:21] * Faerzen_Norstov quickly flies up the stairs to outside
- [22:22] * nick_varnegs_ goes outside
- [22:22] <nick_varnegs_> oh, hi faerzen
- [22:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh... uh, hello!
- [22:22] <nick_varnegs_> i kinda gave us some extra cover up on our tracks
- [22:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> Everything okay?
- [22:22] <nick_varnegs_> no one will suspect anything
- [22:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> ...okay?
- [22:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> I am not certain how much additional cover up was necessary, but thank you.
- [22:23] <nick_varnegs_> ...covering our trip with implied rumors is quite effective i must say
- [22:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> What did you tell him?
- [22:23] <nick_varnegs_> implied makeouts
- [22:23] <nick_varnegs_> thats why i shaked your hair
- [22:23] <nick_varnegs_> hope you dont mind
- [22:24] * Faerzen_Norstov freezes
- [22:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> Wait, what?
- [22:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> Ohhhhhkay?
- [22:24] <nick_varnegs_> .i think i never heard you closing the door
- [22:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> I suppose that works?
- [22:24] <nick_varnegs_> you were listening right?
- [22:24] * nick_varnegs_ laughts
- [22:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> .....
- [22:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> yes.
- [22:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> I just wanted to make sure you were okay!
- [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!
- [22:26] <nick_varnegs_> who know for how long that carapacian was there waiting!
- [22:27] <nick_varnegs_> i just gave him something believable!
- [22:27] <nick_varnegs_> well...
- [22:27] <nick_varnegs_> not believable
- [22:27] <nick_varnegs_> plausible
- [22:27] <nick_varnegs_> as a lie
- [22:27] <nick_varnegs_> that did not happen
- [22:27] <nick_varnegs_> yeah...
- [22:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> heehee! It's okay, Nick!
- [22:28] * nick_varnegs_ looks aroud awkwardly
- [22:28] <nick_varnegs_> :)
- [22:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> It was a.... creative plan. :)
- [22:29] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Hey! You two should kiss!>
- [22:29] <nick_varnegs_> ((at pls stop))
- [22:29] <nick_varnegs_> so... any ideas on what we should do now?
- [22:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> We could always investigate the smaller of the two Prospits!
- [22:30] <nick_varnegs_> sounds like a plan
- [22:30] <nick_varnegs_> after you my fake makeout comapanion
- [22:30] * nick_varnegs_ giggles like a child
- [22:30] <nick_varnegs_> sorry, couldn't resist
- [22:31] * Faerzen_Norstov rolls eyes
- [22:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> hahahahaha, okay, let's go!
- [22:31] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <What, no friendly kiss on the cheek? :P>
- [22:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> Heehee, just as long as that's not my permanent name!
- [22:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> <just you wait, AT>
- [22:32] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> ==>
- [22:32] <nick_varnegs_> don't worry, ill make sure to not to call you that
- [22:32] * nick_varnegs_ flies towards smaller prospit
- [22:32] * Faerzen_Norstov follows, laughing brightly
- [22:33] * nick_varnegs_ flips midflight effectively flying backwards
- [22:33] <nick_varnegs_> so... any ideas of what might be on the smaller one?
- [22:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> No idea!
- [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
- [22:34] <nick_varnegs_> i hope is something far more interesting than an orb of glass
- [22:34] <nick_varnegs_> ...
- [22:34] <nick_varnegs_> i understand some of thos words
- [22:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> I do have a feeling that crystal was important somehow, but I agree, it was fairly anticlimactic!
- [22:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, silly me!
- [22:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> Heehee
- [22:35] <nick_varnegs_> you have to teach me future stuff one day faerzen
- [22:35] <Faerzen_Norstov> Uhhhh, basically there is much less volume present there so it would be less advantageous to mine there
- [22:35] <nick_varnegs_> yeah, i got that
- [22:35] <nick_varnegs_> maybe one day you should give me an mathematics course?
- [22:36] <nick_varnegs_> so i get up to date with all the advantages of numbers and all that
- [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!
- [22:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> ;)
- [22:36] <nick_varnegs_> yay! cultural exchanges!
- [22:37] <nick_varnegs_> ...you used a crossbow right?
- [22:37] <nick_varnegs_> i think i could teach you a couple arrowsmithing tricks
- [22:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> "used"? I would put that in the present tense, Nick!
- [22:38] <nick_varnegs_> ah right! silly me
- [22:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have an archery target in my backyard we can shoot at together sometime!
- [22:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> I think it made it into this game at least....
- [22:38] <nick_varnegs_> uh...
- [22:38] <nick_varnegs_> about that
- [22:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> What's wrong?
- [22:38] <nick_varnegs_> i kinda used a messenger pidgeon to send my crossbow to byron
- [22:39] <nick_varnegs_> it should arrive one of this days
- [22:39] <nick_varnegs_> they fly insanely fast after all
- [22:39] <nick_varnegs_> leaving a wave on the air as they move
- [22:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh really?
- [22:39] <nick_varnegs_> yes
- [22:39] <nick_varnegs_> there's something wrong with those pidgeons
- [22:40] <nick_varnegs_> countries in seconds as franchesco used to say
- [22:40] <nick_varnegs_> i wonder who breeded them
- [22:40] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *bred
- [22:40] * nick_varnegs_ looks behind to see prospit moon's really close
- [22:40] <nick_varnegs_> oh... we are arriving at smaller prospit
- [22:41] <nick_varnegs_> population: us... and some other dreamers
- [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?
- [22:41] <nick_varnegs_> sounds good!
- [22:42] <nick_varnegs_> lead the way!
- [22:42] * Faerzen_Norstov flies towards big building from the festival
- [22:42] * nick_varnegs_ follows as usual
- [22:43] <Faerzen_Norstov> <AT?>
- [22:43] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <How much longer you guys wanna go?>
- [22:43] <nick_varnegs_> ((at you there?))
- [22:43] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <no€
- [22:43] <nick_varnegs_> ((i dunno... you busy?))
- [22:43] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <I'm open for another hour or so>
- [22:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> <we should finish by then>
- [22:44] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <ok, And you are heading to the castle?>
- [22:44] <nick_varnegs_> ((we should start getting sleepy or something))
- [22:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> <you there to DM a bit of exploration?>
- [22:44] <Faerzen_Norstov> <we're exploring the moon, trying to find the way down that Faerzen noticed during the bread festival
- [22:45] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <The what?>
- [22:45] <nick_varnegs_> ((bread festival, blame andres))
- [22:45] <nick_varnegs_> ((there was a building we noticed that could go down))
- [22:46] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <ugh. Stupid logic>
- [22:46] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You approach the building, it appears virtually identical to the farm building come earlier
- [22:46] <nick_varnegs_> this must be it
- [22:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> It does look familiar, doesn't it! heehee!
- [22:47] <nick_varnegs_> hehehehehe
- [22:47] * nick_varnegs_ knocks on the door
- [22:48] <nick_varnegs_> wait
- [22:48] <nick_varnegs_> i realized
- [22:48] <nick_varnegs_> how are we going to sneak out this time?
- [22:48] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The door is unlocked, you are bid to come in by a voice from inside
- [22:48] * Faerzen_Norstov enters
- [22:48] * Faerzen_Norstov whispers we may have to improvise! heehee
- [22:49] * nick_varnegs_ enters too
- [22:49] * nick_varnegs_ whispers back you lead
- [22:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hello?
- [22:49] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Another counter same as before
- [22:50] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> This attendant appears to be more feminine, however
- [22:50] <nick_varnegs_> hello there!
- [22:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> Greetings!
- [22:50] <nick_varnegs_> do you mind if we go downstairs?
- [22:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Hello Highnesses the figure says, you may certainly head downstairs
- [22:51] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Would you like a tour she asks
- [22:51] * nick_varnegs_ whispers what if we say no?
- [22:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> Do you mind if we just go for a walk?
- [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.
- [22:52] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Feel free Highness she says
- [22:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> Excellent! Thank you very much.
- [22:52] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Looking at Nick and winking
- [22:52] <nick_varnegs_> great!
- [22:52] <nick_varnegs_> emm...
- [22:52] * Faerzen_Norstov heads down the stairs
- [22:52] * nick_varnegs_ whispers to faerzen... did she wink at me?
- [22:53] * Faerzen_Norstov ........ I think so.
- [22:53] * nick_varnegs_ follows faerzen downstairs
- [22:54] <nick_varnegs_> do rumors spread that fast?
- [22:54] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You arrive in a farm identical to the one from before
- [22:55] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Except there are no doors in the back
- [22:55] <nick_varnegs_> hmm?
- [22:55] <nick_varnegs_> interesting
- [22:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> I must admit, your strategy for developing reasons is quite effective! It deters questions.
- [22:55] <nick_varnegs_> there seems to not be a way down
- [22:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> What is interesting?
- [22:55] <nick_varnegs_> no stairs
- [22:56] <nick_varnegs_> well... we could stay in here for a while anyway
- [22:56] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> This farm stretches longer than the previous one you note
- [22:56] <nick_varnegs_> this farm is quite bigger
- [22:56] <nick_varnegs_> dont you think?
- [22:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hmmm...... Yes.... I do think you are correct
- [22:57] <nick_varnegs_> ... intriged by the machines once again?
- [22:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> A very peculiar development given how much smaller this location is.
- [22:57] <nick_varnegs_> i must admit they are works of beauty
- [22:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> No, I am going to avoid even trying to become distracted by them this time!
- [22:57] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> In the background you start to hear some noise fading into hearing range
- [22:57] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> It sounds like...
- [22:57] <nick_varnegs_> ...
- [22:58] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Romantic music
- [22:58] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The lights dim slightly
- [22:58] <nick_varnegs_> wait what?
- [22:58] <nick_varnegs_> is that what i think it is?
- [22:58] <Spectating_K1> <HAhahahahahahahahhaha oh god my sides hahahahaha>
- [22:58] <nick_varnegs_> gimme a second
- [22:58] * Faerzen_Norstov rolls eyes
- [22:58] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <I am best DM>
- [22:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> Wow, okay, even I can't say I saw this coming.
- [22:58] * nick_varnegs_ flies upstairs and tells the recepcionist to stop setting the mood
- [22:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> These prospitians are just too damn helpful, aren't they!
- [22:59] * nick_varnegs_ yells down the stairs yes they are
- [22:59] * nick_varnegs_ yells again a little TOO helpful dont you think?
- [22:59] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The receptionist grins at Ncik and replies with your request Highness of course
- [23:00] * Faerzen_Norstov flies around farm looking for any other exits, as well as investigating the area of the farm that is larger
- [23:00] <nick_varnegs_> thanks you
- [23:00] * nick_varnegs_ flies back down
- [23:00] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> The farm seems to stretch on as deep as the mines and extends out of sight
- [23:01] * nick_varnegs_ flies towards faerzen
- [23:01] <nick_varnegs_> anything interesting in here?
- [23:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> Nick, these farms seem to stretch on for miles!
- [23:01] <nick_varnegs_> i know!
- [23:02] <nick_varnegs_> its impressive!
- [23:02] <nick_varnegs_> want to see how far they go?
- [23:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes, they seem to extend even further than the mines!
- [23:03] <nick_varnegs_> ... how is that even possible
- [23:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> There very well may be intriguing things beyond these golden fields of grain!
- [23:03] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *yawn*
- [23:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, it is curving around, let us make haste!
- [23:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> We were descending straight to the center of the planet before!
- [23:03] <nick_varnegs_> yawn* right, ill follow
- [23:03] * Faerzen_Norstov flies off towards the other end of the farm
- [23:03] * nick_varnegs_ begins flying behind faerzen
- [23:04] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You proceed around the farm, but it seems to stretch forrrrreverrrrr
- [23:04] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *yawn*
- [23:04] <nick_varnegs_> faerzen?
- [23:04] <nick_varnegs_> are you sleepy?
- [23:04] <nick_varnegs_> i think im about to fall asleep
- [23:05] <nick_varnegs_> ... we should make haste
- [23:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> These hills are all starting.... to look the same. I want to at least see what is at the end before giving up!
- [23:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> We can't submit to sleep so easily when there are mysteries to be solved!
- [23:05] <nick_varnegs_> then lets hurry
- [23:05] * nick_varnegs_ grabs faerzen and flies stupidly fast
- [23:06] * Faerzen_Norstov squeals with laughter
- [23:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> Whoahohohoho!
- [23:06] * nick_varnegs_ giggles
- [23:06] * Faerzen_Norstov looks suddenly at Nick.
- [23:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> You know, Nick?
- [23:07] <nick_varnegs_> yes?
- [23:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> You should do that more often.
- [23:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't feel like I see you laugh enough. :)
- [23:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> It makes me happy.
- [23:07] <nick_varnegs_> oh...
- [23:07] <nick_varnegs_> :)
- [23:07] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Ba-Dump*
- [23:07] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Ba-Dump*
- [23:07] <nick_varnegs_> ((dammit at))
- [23:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((yesssssss))

- [23:08] <nick_varnegs_> ((alright))
- [23:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((by all means, please continue AT))
- [23:08] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Both of the teen's hearts start racing in the presence of each other
- [23:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> I know your land is probably the most dreary and depressing place in existence, but try and remember there are other things outside of that bubble, all right?
- [23:09] <nick_varnegs_> ((canon fanfiction pls))
- [23:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> Like friends!
- [23:09] * nick_varnegs_ begins slowing down
- [23:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> And my workshop!
- [23:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> And places to explore!
- [23:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> And Prospit!
- [23:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> And... me!
- [23:09] <nick_varnegs_> atleast i know that everytime i fall asleep ill have some company :)
- [23:09] <nick_varnegs_> ;)
- [23:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> You betcha! ;)
- [23:10] <Faerzen_Norstov> Let's go! We must be arriving there soon!
- [23:10] <Faerzen_Norstov> The density of grain over here seems to be much lower than it was near the entrance
- [23:10] <nick_varnegs_> *yawn* yeah!
- [23:10] * nick_varnegs_ begins flying at incredible speeds with faerzen still in a hug-hold
- [23:11] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> You come full circle back to where you started
- [23:11] <nick_varnegs_> ...
- [23:11] * nick_varnegs_ cannot resist to not to laught
- [23:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh.
- [23:11] <nick_varnegs_> i should have expected that
- [23:12] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well that was certainly anticlimactic! ..... *yawn*
- [23:12] <Faerzen_Norstov> I suppose we shall need to leave the rest of this adventure until another time?
- [23:12] <nick_varnegs_> yes we should...
- [23:12] <Faerzen_Norstov> *yawn* I fear I will not be terribly effective at gathering additional leads while I am this sleepy.
- [23:12] * nick_varnegs_ looks faerzen in her eys
- [23:13] <nick_varnegs_> you look cute when you are yawning
- [23:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> ......
- [23:14] * Faerzen_Norstov slowly begins drifting back up the stairs
- [23:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, sorry!
- [23:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> were.... you saying something?
- [23:14] <nick_varnegs_> *Ba-Dump* *Ba-Dump*
- [23:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> I was distracted by those machines again
- [23:14] <nick_varnegs_> i said that you look cute when you are yawning
- [23:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> ...oh!
- [23:15] * nick_varnegs_ gives a slight smile
- [23:15] * Faerzen_Norstov blushes furiously
- [23:15] * nick_varnegs_ blushes
- [23:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> (very quietly) thanks
- [23:15] <nick_varnegs_> i...
- [23:16] <nick_varnegs_> goddammit im so bad with words
- [23:16] * nick_varnegs_ blushes harder
- [23:16] <nick_varnegs_> we...
- [23:16] * Faerzen_Norstov reaches outside
- [23:16] <nick_varnegs_> umm...
- [23:16] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Dammit Nick>
- [23:16] <Faerzen_Norstov> Shall.... we go up to one of our towers?
- [23:16] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Seize the moment>
- [23:17] <nick_varnegs_> s-sure
- [23:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> I *yawn* don't think it would be very.... royal to collapse in the *yawn* street....
- [23:17] * nick_varnegs_ grabs faerzen hand and begins floating
- [23:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> Have... I showed you my room yet?
- [23:17] <nick_varnegs_> i once *yawn* saw it from the outside
- [23:18] <nick_varnegs_> mind if i get a tour?
- [23:18] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well then, why don't you come and *yawn* see
- [23:18] <Faerzen_Norstov> ....!
- [23:18] * Faerzen_Norstov shakes head vigorously to try and shake sleep out of head
- [23:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> I... don't know if you noticed, but my tower is actually crooked
- [23:19] * Faerzen_Norstov points to kink in spire about 10 feet below the sphere
- [23:19] * nick_varnegs_ does the same
- [23:19] <nick_varnegs_> it is?
- [23:19] <nick_varnegs_> oh...
- [23:19] <nick_varnegs_> i wonder what caused it
- [23:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> Me!
- [23:19] <nick_varnegs_> what?
- [23:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> My room at home is crooked, so it is crooked here too....
- [23:20] * nick_varnegs_ looks perplexed
- [23:20] <nick_varnegs_> oh!
- [23:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> I fixed it
- [23:20] <nick_varnegs_> hehehehehe...
- [23:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> And straightened it out, but it just didn't feel right, so I put it back!
- [23:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> Sorry if the slanted floor is a bit odd; I'm used to it by now. :)
- [23:21] <nick_varnegs_> dont worry
- [23:21] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Describe your room Faerzen>
- [23:21] <nick_varnegs_> so... this is your room?
- [23:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> <you see a bed in the corner with a huge pile of golden pillows and blankets, and adjacent to the bed is a desk with a computer and some pens and a holographic clock>
- [23:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> <on the other side of the room is a small table and stool with a variety of mechanical parts and tools on it>
- [23:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> <along the third wall, the entire wall is made of a huge number of drawers regularly arranged in a grid, all labeled with different things. They seem to be alphabetized>
- [23:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> <that's p much it>
- [23:23] * nick_varnegs_ yawns "i like your room faerzen"
- [23:23] <nick_varnegs_> it looks... comfortable
- [23:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> I think it is very .... relaxing
- [23:24] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nick feels a rush of emotion rising up in him
- [23:24] * Faerzen_Norstov floats over to pile of pillows on the bed.
- [23:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> Have you ever seen so many pillows before?
- [23:24] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *BADUMPBADUMPBADUMP*
- [23:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> They really are *yawn*, quite amazing
- [23:24] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Now's your chance>
- [23:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> You should try them *yawn* out
- [23:24] * nick_varnegs_ floats and sits next to faerzen
- [23:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't think pillows were as common in your time period. *yawn*
- [23:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> So.... how are they?
- [23:25] * Faerzen_Norstov sleepily chuckles
- [23:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> <SUSPENSE>
- [23:25] * nick_varnegs_ sleppy voice quite... soft
- [23:26] * nick_varnegs_ looks at faerzen once again
- [23:26] * nick_varnegs_ leans slightly towards her
- [23:26] <nick_varnegs_> ...
- [23:27] * Faerzen_Norstov looks over at Nick, smiling or smirking, you can't really tell which ;)
- [23:27] * nick_varnegs_ smile/smirks back
- [23:28] <nick_varnegs_> *BADUMPBADUMPBADUMP*
- [23:28] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <HNNNG>
- [23:28] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <If I had ovaries, they'd be exploding€
- [23:28] <Faerzen_Norstov> <AT has an an aneurysm>
- [23:29] <Spectating_K1> <Way to kill the mood AT XD>
- [23:29] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <A shipping Aneurysm>
- [23:29] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Nick is sooo slow>
- [23:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> <you there, roo?>
- [23:29] * nick_varnegs_ leans in closer
- [23:30] * Faerzen_Norstov leans in
- [23:30] * Faerzen_Norstov yawns
- [23:30] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> *Faerzen no longer feels very sleepy
- [23:30] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Dammit>

- [23:30] * Faerzen_Norstov eyebrows wiggle very suggestively
- [23:31] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Roll performance, you two lovebirds>
- [23:31] * nick_varnegs_ falls asleep just as lips are about to make contact
- [23:31] * Faerzen_Norstov chuckles to herself and then falls asleep
