[19:39] <snuffshotMartyr> What happens if a contract with the mask gets broken?
[19:39] <solemnSketcher> o for fuck's sake
[19:40] <solemnSketcher> look... first of all...
[19:40] <solemnSketcher> hello lyra. second, im not sure if they can be broken
[19:40] <solemnSketcher> for i did not take a deal
[19:40] <snuffshotMartyr> What if someone agrees to do something impossible?
[19:40] <snuffshotMartyr> Like make a four-sided triangle?
[19:41] <snuffshotMartyr> Or going back in time to kill themselves?
[19:41] <solemnSketcher> ... then the deal is null
[19:41] <solemnSketcher> what did you ask for?
[19:41] <solemnSketcher> because i know you didn't haggle much
[19:41] <snuffshotMartyr> Long story
[19:41] <snuffshotMartyr> Actually, no.
[19:41] <snuffshotMartyr> Really short one, I guess
[19:42] <snuffshotMartyr> I basically said we'd agree on something later
[19:42] <snuffshotMartyr> Reggie seems to consider that a poor decision
[19:42] <solemnSketcher> ...
[19:42] <snuffshotMartyr> ...
[19:42] <snuffshotMartyr> That bad, huh?
[19:42] <solemnSketcher> sure, lets not set a straight deal with the murder-mask
[19:43] <snuffshotMartyr> Let's be honest
[19:43] <snuffshotMartyr> Was it gonna follow the rules anyway?
[19:43] <solemnSketcher> look, i heard you were worried about alex.
[19:43] <solemnSketcher> he's alive.
[19:43] <snuffshotMartyr> *YES!!!*
[19:43] <snuffshotMartyr> *BLUH!!*
[19:43] <solemnSketcher> i hope it will follow the rules.
[19:43] <solemnSketcher> he broke a leg
[19:43] <solemnSketcher> i stabilized him
[19:43] <snuffshotMartyr> Even better
[19:43] <snuffshotMartyr> Sorta
[19:43] <solemnSketcher> we chatted
[19:43] <solemnSketcher> got drunk and then passed out
[19:44] <snuffshotMartyr> As one does
[19:44] <solemnSketcher> we are asleep, im in prospit, he must be here too
[19:44] <solemnSketcher> he did for pain and i kind of... for fucking up bigtime
[19:44] <snuffshotMartyr> I too have experience with alcohol
[19:44] <snuffshotMartyr> As of like twenty seconds ago
[19:44] <snuffshotMartyr> This stuff is revolting
[19:44] <solemnSketcher> oh?
[19:44] <snuffshotMartyr> Not important
[19:45] <snuffshotMartyr> You and Alex are on Prospit?
[19:45] <solemnSketcher> ok...
[19:45] <solemnSketcher> so... lets set this straight. the thing you have to do now is set the terms of the deal
[19:46] <snuffshotMartyr> Alright
[19:46] <solemnSketcher> i am on prospit
[19:46] <solemnSketcher> why does thou ask?
[19:46] <snuffshotMartyr> About the rule-breaking?
[19:47] <solemnSketcher> yes?
[19:47] <snuffshotMartyr> I wanna see what happens if the contract doesn't get followed
[19:47] <solemnSketcher> interesting
[19:47] <snuffshotMartyr> Not for me
[19:47] <snuffshotMartyr> For the mask
[19:47] <solemnSketcher> a contract from below its hard to break
[19:48] <snuffshotMartyr> I wanna see the consequences it gets for failing
[19:48] <solemnSketcher> it always cometh back to bite your buttocks
[19:48] <snuffshotMartyr> Well duh
[19:48] <solemnSketcher> it probably would end up in a lot of blood and a dead lyra
[19:48] <snuffshotMartyr> That happens a lot, buddy
[19:48] <solemnSketcher> you told me so
[19:49] <snuffshotMartyr> But what if THE MASK breaks the contract?
[19:49] <solemnSketcher> ...
[19:49] <solemnSketcher> why should the mask break it?
[19:49] <snuffshotMartyr> No comment
[19:49] <snuffshotMartyr> Ask it what happens
[19:49] <solemnSketcher> you made that contract with yourself.
[19:50] <snuffshotMartyr> Meaning... ?
[19:50] <solemnSketcher> there's no other voices but mine in here, who you dealt with was a part of thee
[19:50] <snuffshotMartyr> Oh, great
[19:50] <snuffshotMartyr> Fine.  I'll talk to it myself when we next meet
[19:50] <solemnSketcher> inner voices or whatever
[19:50] <snuffshotMartyr> You're on the cliff planet, yeah?
[19:50] <solemnSketcher> yep
[19:51] <snuffshotMartyr> I'll be there as soon as I can switch characters
[19:51] <solemnSketcher> ...
[19:51] <snuffshotMartyr> Long story
[19:51] <solemnSketcher> im not planning on sticking around for long
[19:51] <snuffshotMartyr> You're on Prospit, yeah?
[19:52] <snuffshotMartyr> So maybe I'll beat you there
[19:52] <solemnSketcher> where are you?
[19:52] <snuffshotMartyr> The body I'm planning on using is in Alex's place
[19:52] <snuffshotMartyr> In a pool of blood
[19:52] <snuffshotMartyr> Y'know, the usual
[19:52] <solemnSketcher> i havent seen any bodies in here
[19:52] <snuffshotMartyr> Well that's concerning
[19:52] <solemnSketcher> oh. that one
[19:53] <solemnSketcher> sorry, my error.
[19:53] <snuffshotMartyr> What?
[19:53] <snuffshotMartyr> How would-?
[19:53] <snuffshotMartyr> What?
[19:53] <solemnSketcher> the gate skipped to your planet.
[19:53] <snuffshotMartyr> ??
[19:53] <solemnSketcher> i met alex before.
[19:53] <snuffshotMartyr> Okay?
[19:54] <snuffshotMartyr> I'm lost
[19:54] <snuffshotMartyr> Screw it
[19:54] <solemnSketcher> i though you were refering to the one im currently in
[19:54] <snuffshotMartyr> No, in Alex's place
[19:54] <snuffshotMartyr> That one'll be there to chat with the Abyss
[19:54] <solemnSketcher> comphrension mistake.
[19:54] <snuffshotMartyr> Whatever
[19:54] <solemnSketcher> abyss...
[19:54] <snuffshotMartyr> Yeah
[19:54] <snuffshotMartyr> It asked for a name
[19:54] <solemnSketcher> interesting word you have there lyra
[19:54] <snuffshotMartyr> I shoulda chosen something better
[19:54] <solemnSketcher> you are abyss
[19:54] <solemnSketcher> its you
[19:54] <snuffshotMartyr> No
[19:54] <snuffshotMartyr> The mask is
[19:55] <solemnSketcher> when you put it on. its only you in there
[19:55] <snuffshotMartyr> Yeah yeah
[19:55] <solemnSketcher> or... it should be, i dont know if you have paranormal powers.
[19:55] <snuffshotMartyr> Meh
[19:55] <snuffshotMartyr> But y'know what I shoulda called it?
[19:56] <solemnSketcher> you should have called it "bullshit"
[19:56] <snuffshotMartyr> I *shoulda* named it Carl
[19:56] <snuffshotMartyr> *That*'s a good name for an evil mask ghost.
[19:56] <snuffshotMartyr> But instead I had to be all impulsive
[19:56] <snuffshotMartyr> Like an idiot
[19:56] <solemnSketcher> you are not an idiot
[19:57] <solemnSketcher> you are just reckless
[19:57] <snuffshotMartyr> Only an idiot would deprive a fragment of themselves of an awesome name like Carl
[19:57] <solemnSketcher> a reversed card of fool, like byron
[19:57] <snuffshotMartyr> Hey
[19:57] <snuffshotMartyr> I resent that
[19:57] <solemnSketcher> heh.
[19:57] <solemnSketcher> its part of it
[19:57] <snuffshotMartyr> I ain't no ace
[19:57] <snuffshotMartyr> Can't I be a two or something?
[19:58] <solemnSketcher> ace? i am talking about tarot
[19:58] <snuffshotMartyr> Well yeah but isn't the fool the equivalent?
[19:58] <snuffshotMartyr> Either really high or really low?
[19:58] <solemnSketcher> the fool has no number
[19:58] <snuffshotMartyr> Powerful or worthless
[19:58] <solemnSketcher> good point
[19:58] <snuffshotMartyr> I wanna be a two
[19:58] <solemnSketcher> but tarot is not viewed like that
[19:59] <solemnSketcher> why a two?
[19:59] <snuffshotMartyr> That way there aren't any surprises about exactly how useful I am
[19:59] <snuffshotMartyr> No expectations to fail
[19:59] <solemnSketcher> why not a ten? or a queen?
[19:59] <snuffshotMartyr> Screw queens
[19:59] <solemnSketcher> the only one you are failing is yourself lyra.
[19:59] <snuffshotMartyr> Yeah
[20:00] <solemnSketcher> if you need help, you have everyone.
[20:00] <snuffshotMartyr> I don't need help
[20:00] <solemnSketcher> you act on impulse
[20:00] <snuffshotMartyr> I need significantly less help than is currently being provided to me
[20:00] <solemnSketcher> you do need help, now more than ever
[20:00] <snuffshotMartyr> No
[20:00] <snuffshotMartyr> I need to know what happens if the Abyss doesn't help me
[20:00] <solemnSketcher> you overestimate yourself lyra.
[20:01] <snuffshotMartyr> Dude
[20:01] <solemnSketcher> why should carl help you?
[20:01] <snuffshotMartyr> I'm a two
[20:01] <solemnSketcher> at least a five.
[20:01] <snuffshotMartyr> Why on earth would I expect anything from me?
[20:01] <snuffshotMartyr> Carl should help me because we made a deal
[20:01] <solemnSketcher> because you overestimate yourself?
[20:02] <snuffshotMartyr> No I don't.  I'm fully prepared to fail and die horribly
[20:02] <solemnSketcher> you have to discuss the terms.
[20:02] <snuffshotMartyr> And if Carl is really a part of me, then it should respect our deal
[20:02] <solemnSketcher> or break the contract
[20:02] <snuffshotMartyr> Or let him break it
[20:03] <solemnSketcher> but is carl even a part of you? once again. you could be passively channeling bullshit occult entities
[20:03] <solemnSketcher> meh.
[20:03] <snuffshotMartyr> If the contract doesn't matter, then I'm screwed either way
[20:03] <solemnSketcher> regardless. you are putting on the mask and talking woth it
[20:04] <snuffshotMartyr> Eeyup
[20:04] <snuffshotMartyr> Once I fall asleep/wake up/whatever
[20:04] <snuffshotMartyr> See you then, I guess
[20:04] <solemnSketcher> okay... on some less pressing matters. how did you pass out on alcohol?
[20:04] <snuffshotMartyr> Oh
[20:04] <solemnSketcher> i guess so.
[20:04] <snuffshotMartyr> I didn't pass out
[20:04] <solemnSketcher> oh.
[20:05] <snuffshotMartyr> You know how people get drunk when they wanna celebrate?
[20:05] <solemnSketcher> oh. can you keep a secret?
[20:05] <solemnSketcher> yes i know
[20:05] <snuffshotMartyr> Probably not, no.  Regent reads my mind.
[20:05] <solemnSketcher> lopez was a rather festive fellow
[20:05] <solemnSketcher> ok, go ahead. im not telling
[20:06] <snuffshotMartyr> Good call
[20:06] <snuffshotMartyr> Well anyway, Regent had Faerzen pour me this drink
[20:06] <solemnSketcher> oh.
[20:06] <snuffshotMartyr> And when you said Alex was alive, I tried to do the celebration thing
[20:06] <solemnSketcher> so it was you
[20:06] <snuffshotMartyr> And...
[20:06] <snuffshotMartyr> This stuff is VILE
[20:07] <solemnSketcher> hahahahaha. its always like that the first time
[20:07] <snuffshotMartyr> How can Alex possibly have had enough to get drunk?
[20:07] <solemnSketcher> first time here too.
[20:07] <snuffshotMartyr> Is drunkness just temporary insanity from the taste or something?
[20:07] <solemnSketcher> downed a whole bottle of something called "whisky" between the two
[20:07] <solemnSketcher> intoxocation
[20:08] <solemnSketcher> oh. he broke a leg, alex was drinking the pain away
[20:08] <snuffshotMartyr> Well that's dumb
[20:08] <snuffshotMartyr> Adding mouth-pain won't make the leg pain go away
[20:09] <solemnSketcher> it will
[20:09] <snuffshotMartyr> I don't think it would
[20:09] <solemnSketcher> alcohol produces numbness. lopez always seemed able to take a hit when he was drunk
[20:13] <snuffshotMartyr> Well yeah but first you need to actually ingest it
[20:13] <snuffshotMartyr> And that's worse than the injuries
[20:13] <snuffshotMartyr> I'd rather be back on Derse than drink this whole glass
[20:13] <solemnSketcher> kind of.
[20:14] <snuffshotMartyr> But maybe not until after chatting with Carl
[20:14] <solemnSketcher> well... faerzen is from parts that back in my time made things with quite the punch
[20:14] <solemnSketcher> so... how is he?
[20:15] <solemnSketcher> last time i spoke to him he was rather... worried
[20:15] <snuffshotMartyr> Seems fine
[20:15] <solemnSketcher> that's good to hear
[20:15] <solemnSketcher> ...
[20:16] <snuffshotMartyr> ...
[20:16] <solemnSketcher> so.. i guess its till i wake up then?
[20:16] <snuffshotMartyr> Guess so
[20:16] <snuffshotMartyr> Oh
[20:16] <snuffshotMartyr> Apologize to Alex for me, wouldja?
[20:17] <solemnSketcher> dont worry about it
[20:17] <snuffshotMartyr> Thanks
[20:17] <snuffshotMartyr> I owe you one
[20:17] <solemnSketcher> :)
[20:18] <solemnSketcher> hey, we have a deep talk to do about life and metaphorical bullshit when you have time
