lol cannan

(Cabalists): Cannan says, "Conduit."
(Cabalists): You say, "Morning."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "My Goddess and I tells me we have a bit of business to discuss.
"
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "Ahem. My Goddess tells me you and I."
(Cabalists): You say, "Does she, now."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "Mm."
(Cabalists): You say, "And what manner of business might that be?"
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "To put it in a roundabout way, the report on what happened at
the Cradle, and the Moonlight Calliope, will have to be put on indefinite hold."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "There are certain...things that my Goddess doesn't want
revealed right now."
(Cabalists): Aarbrok says, "Cabal."
(Cabalists): Volka says, "Inquisitor."
(Cabalists): You say, "That doesn't sound roundabout to me, that sounds like a
straightforward way of saying you're intending to do what a divinity says instead of your
duty to the Cabal."
(Cabalists): You say, "By the way, lad. Have you ever taken the time to read the guild's
scrolls?"
(Cabalists): You say, "Laws, in particular."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "I've glanced over them once or twice, Conduit, and I've come
to some conclusions of my own."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "Something about a conflict of interest?"
(Cabalists): Aarbrok says, "Was that conclusion difficult as it is written so blatantly?"
(Cabalists): You say, "Well, something specifically prohibited by the guild's laws, yes.
Let's hear what your conclusions are, then."
(Cabalists): Volka says, "Thank you, Inquisitor."
(Cabalists): Aarbrok says, "Quite, and I knew such would be. You had nothing to fear your
work is impressive, I will have an opening for one to work closer with should you find
interest."
(Cabalists): Volka says, "Ah, I will keep that in mind, Mister Furor. Thank you."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "I've concluded that our fine Lady Iosyne and her patronage is
no longer in my best interests. There's work to be done, and She's a hindrance."
(Cabalists): You say, "Her of the Legs? What's she got to do with any of this?"
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "....mm..."
<<Cabalists>>: Aarbrok says, "I will remain silent, as I would rather snap him over my
leg and swat his backside right now."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "I speak out of turn. Sometimes my mouth runs away with my mind.
"
<<Cabalists>>: You say, "If I thought that would help, I'd make you a cane."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "We're at odds now, you and I, though it's not my doing."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "I'm just...following orders."
(Cabalists): You say, "Yes, you are."
(Cabalists): You say, "You know what though, here's a nugget of wisdom for you."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "I'll treasure it always, Conduit."
(Cabalists): You say, "The only person whose actions you control are your own. If you
behave in a particular way, it is your choice to behave like that. You can't throw it on
anyone else and say 'they said so'."
(Cabalists): You say, "It's on you."
(Cabalists): Aarbrok says, "It is quite saddening when one amounts to no more than a
puppet, especially with gifts like cognitive thought and logic as a tool innately given."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "Tch."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "Your lack of devotion to anything save yourselves has been
duly noted."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "And it hasn't been noted by me..."
(Cabalists): You say, "Ah hah hah, is that supposed to be threatening, lad?"
(Cabalists): You say, "You're in the Cabal. It's practically written on the tin."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "And so it used to be."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "But I'm not what I once was."
(Cabalists): You say, "When we're aware of how infinitessimally fine the distinction
between ourselves and the divinities is, what logical sense does it make to act as if
we're their toys?"
(Cabalists): You say, "I mean, I suppose some people get a thrill out of that. Wearing a
collar and all."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "Let me see if I can explain this to you in a way you'll
understand."
(Cabalists): You say, "I'm all ears."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "When someone gives you a gift, you are responsible for paying
them back."
(Cabalists): You say, "That's not the definition of a gift."
(Cabalists): Rajazel says, "That's a loan."
(Cabalists): You say, "Or a favour."
(Cabalists): Rajazel says, "Or in some cases, bribery."
(Cabalists): Aarbrok says, "I should regale you with the tales of Yrtez someday, and her
gifts, and those who paid her back."
(Cabalists): Aarbrok says, "Not all is as it seems."
(Cabalists): You say, "I suppose a fish might see a worm as a gift."
(Cabalists): You say, "Whether or not he's smart enough to see the hook it's on, though,
that's the thing."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "Well. Now we've traded nuggets of advice. I hope you'll
treasure mine as much as I do yours."
(Cabalists): Rajazel says, "A flytrap's nectar might seem promising to an unwary fly."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "I'll be away."
(Cabalists): You say, "Wait, there was advice?"
(Cabalists): You say, "I was still waiting for the explanation."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "My advice to you, Eleanor, is to remember where you came from."
(Cabalists): Aarbrok says, "Or at least something that was not a series of strings being
tugged and flapping gums."
(Cabalists): You say, "Son, you have no idea where I came from."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "And neither do you, ingrate."
(Cabalists): You say, "I'm a creature crafted by my own determination and mental
fortitude."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "I'll be away. I hope we meet again."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "Maybe you'll get the full report someday."
(Cabalists): You say, "That's what an Idreth is. But your contempt is noted, ha ha."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "Ducky..."
(Cabalists): Cannan says, "I'm very, very proud of you."
(Cabalists): Rajazel says, "..This is all just a bit umm.. Shocking, I suppose."
(Cabalists): Rajazel says, "I'm telling a tale."
(Cabalists): Volka says, "Only because you haven't been paying attention, Rajazel."
(Cabalists): Rajazel says, "Didn't you hear, 'telling a tale'? Of course I was paying
attention."
(Cabalists): You say, "Ah well, that was not the most graceful exit I've ever seen."
(Cabalists): Volka says, "Well, Ma'am, when has Cannan been known for his grace?"
(Cabalists): You say, "I suppose you've a point."
(Cabalists): Rajazel says, "No tact."
(Cabalists): You say, "In any case, the good thing about people who're that affected by
emotions is that they can be played on with nostalgia. They talk to 'old friends' who
sound sympathetic."
(Cabalists): You say, "Goodness, though, nobody's had the gall to call me an ingrate in
centuries. Makes me feel like a young lass all over again."
(Cabalists): Rajazel says, "He's saying some pretty odd things.."
<Eocik pops up saying "Bloody ingrate." Not in my capture.>
(Cabalists): You say, "How invigorating."
(Cabalists): You say, "Yes, well, apart from you, but you call everyone an ingrate."
(Cabalists): Rajazel says, "..Hmm. Conduit, you're a ragamuffin."
(Cabalists): Rajazel says, "No better than those thankless urchins that wander the Spires.
 Hmmph!"
(Cabalists): Selaena says, "She's the Conduit. Namecalling, esteemed elders aside, is
hardly called for."
(Cabalists): Rajazel says, "All in good fun, especially since she knows I mean none of it.
"
(Cabalists): You say, "Most people don't try it because they're worried I'll pull their
appendix out via the mouth."
(Cabalists): Aarbrok says, "Now that is invigorating."
(Cabalists): Selaena says, "Pardon, sir, I was referencing ah, Cannan was it?"
(Cabalists): Rajazel says, "Such pain doesn't bother me. Introduce spoiled shrimp into
the equation and I head for the hills."
(Cabalists): Volka says, "Noted."
(Cabalists): Rajazel says, "Don't get any ideas, Volka."
(Cabalists): Rajazel says, "I suspect I have revealed too much. Back to the books for me!"
(Cabalists): Volka says, "Does anyone know anything about a giant green portal in the
Ithima, next to the crater?"
(Cabalists): Aarbrok says, "Yes, it is a portal created by the Hunter as a gateway to the
Ancelian Moor, a rather sacred place in Dendara."
(Cabalists): Aarbrok says, "It has been overrun by a blight of abberations sent by spirit
consumed cultists who plague the reaches of deeper Dendara."
(Cabalists): Volka says, "Fascinating! Thank you."
