Leeroy Jenkins: Insanity and Death

[18:16]  * Lyra_Bel struggles to speak through the hacking fits.
[18:16] <Lyra_Bel> "Oh-h-h, f-fah-for crying... ca-han't even guess my m-mutil-lations right"
[18:16] <Alexander_Pyrite> "How are you coughing up blood and wheeziiiii"
[18:16]  * Alexander_Pyrite sees the man
[18:16] <ATtheorytime[DM]> The old man is about fifty feet away, shambling closer incredibly slowly, posing no obvious threat
[18:17] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Lyra what is that?"
[18:17] <Alexander_Pyrite> "That, that man"
[18:17] <Lyra_Bel> "What?"
[18:17] <Lyra_Bel> "C-can't *see*, Alex"
[18:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Oh right shit"
[18:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Uhh it's a a a person?"
[18:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I think"
[18:18] <ATtheorytime[DM]> The man has almost no flesh on him, he is practically a skeleton
[18:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> "He's walking over all menacingly"
[18:18] <Lyra_Bel> "H-h-hallucination"
[18:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Oh right"
[18:19] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Should I go grab him or something to confirm?"
[18:19] <ATtheorytime[DM]> His eyes droop as he approaches, stopping about thirty feet away
[18:19] <Lyra_Bel> "If you want"
[18:19] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Ok"
[18:19] <Lyra_Bel> "Pr-hobably won't make a-a difference"
[18:20]  * Alexander_Pyrite goes and touched the dudes face carefully
[18:20] == ATtheorytime[DM] has changed nick to Ananke
[18:21] <Ananke> As Alex begins to walk towards the old man, he bursts into a coughing fit
[18:21] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Oh Jesus"
[18:21]  * Alexander_Pyrite backs away
[18:21] <Lyra_Bel> "Mm?"
[18:21] <Ananke_> "..."
[18:21] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Wait a minute"
[18:22] <Alexander_Pyrite> roll 1d20-1 to come to conclusion irl me came up with
[18:22] <Ananke_> In a croaky, parched voice, that makes your throat feel dry out of sympathy for just hearing it
[18:22] <Ananke_> The old man speaks
[18:22] <Ananke_> "Lyra... Bel..."
[18:22] <Alexander_Pyrite> Roll 1d20-1
[18:22] <`DICE> Alexander_Pyrite rolled 1d20-1 [ 1d20=5 ]{4}
[18:22] <Alexander_Pyrite> "What is going on"
[18:23] <Ananke_> It rasps, raising one finger slowly and feebly at Lyra
[18:23] <Lyra_Bel> "S-s'not my name"
[18:23] <Lyra_Bel> Roll 1d20+5 Bluff
[18:23] <`DICE> Lyra_Bel rolled 1d20+5 Bluff [ 1d20=19 ]{24}
[18:23] <Ananke_> "There... Has been a mistake..."
[18:23] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Why does he" *cough* "want this "Lyra""
[18:23] <Lyra_Bel> "S'been a lot of mistakes"
[18:23] <Ananke_> The old man pauses
[18:24] <Ananke_> "So tired..."
[18:24] <Ananke_> He stumbles a bit, catching himself
[18:24] <Lyra_Bel> "Amen"
[18:24] <Ananke_> "You are the hero of this land"
[18:25] <Ananke_> "... Yes?"
[18:25] <Ananke_> "Please... Do not deceive me... I grow weary in mine age..."
[18:25] <Lyra_Bel> "D-don't really care"
[18:25] <Lyra_Bel> "I know lots of old people who hate me"
[18:26] <Alexander_Pyrite> roll 1d20-1
[18:26] <`DICE> Alexander_Pyrite rolled 1d20-1 [ 1d20=19 ]{18}
[18:26] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Are you death?"
[18:26] <Ananke_> "Your death was supposed... To be painless..."
[18:26]  * Lyra_Bel laughs, and ends up splattering blood all over the ground
[18:26] <Ananke_> "You were supposed to die far earlier..."
[18:26] <Alexander_Pyrite> "What the fuck is going on?"
[18:27] <Ananke_> Ananke mumbled something under his breath and turns to Alex
[18:27] <Ananke_> "I am inevitability"
[18:27] <Lyra_Bel> "Ha-hallucin-nations"
[18:27]  * Ananke_ turns back to Lyra
[18:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Inevitability. great."
[18:28] <Ananke_> "So much unneeded...  pain and violence..."
[18:28] <Lyra_Bel> "I'll stop it."
[18:28] <Lyra_Bel> "Don't need to tell me"
[18:28] <Ananke_> "The artifact... It ruined the timing of all this..."
[18:29] <Lyra_Bel> "It's t-taken care of"
[18:29] <Ananke_> "You know why I am approaching, child"
[18:29] <Lyra_Bel> "Same reason as all the rest"
[18:29] <Ananke_> "You will die here..."
[18:29] <Lyra_Bel> "Ya promise?"
[18:30] <Ananke_> "But I'm afraid... it isn't the end for you..."
[18:30] <Alexander_Pyrite> "No"
[18:30] <Alexander_Pyrite> "No dying"
[18:30] <Lyra_Bel> "Yeah"
[18:30]  * Alexander_Pyrite picks Lyra up if he can
[18:30] <Ananke_> "I'm so... Very sorry child"
[18:30] <Lyra_Bel> "Don't call me that."
[18:30] <Lyra_Bel> "Don't you dare call me that."
[18:30] <Ananke_> "I..."
[18:30] <Ananke_> The old man wobbles
[18:30] <Lyra_Bel> "You don't get that right."
[18:30] <Ananke_> "It's a... bad habit..."
[18:31]  * Alexander_Pyrite watches carefully
[18:31] <Ananke_> "I am so old... Most things are... Children... To me"
[18:31] <Lyra_Bel> "You and half the things I know"
[18:31] <Ananke_> "Ly... Lyra, Bel..."
[18:32] <Lyra_Bel> "Don't call me that."
[18:32] <Ananke_> "What... Shall... You like to be renamed... in your new... Ascension?"
[18:33] <Lyra_Bel> "Oh, shut up"
[18:33] <Lyra_Bel> "I'm tired of playing with voices that don't exist"
[18:33] <Ananke_> "I shall.. Call you Doom, then"
[18:33] <Lyra_Bel> "I said shut up."
[18:33] <Ananke_> "Doom... You have been wronged... So very much..."
[18:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> I snort
[18:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Heh doom"
[18:34] <Ananke_> "One last... Thing to give you... In your mortal life..."
[18:34] <Ananke_> "To lighten... The burden you carry..."
[18:34] <Ananke_> "Simply... An anesthetic..."
[18:34] <Lyra_Bel> "Don't."
[18:35] <Ananke_> "You have been granted..."
[18:35] <Lyra_Bel> "I don't want any more reprogramming."
[18:35] <Ananke_> "One material wish"
[18:35] <Lyra_Bel> "..."
[18:35] <Ananke_> "Anything within..."
[18:35] <Ananke_> "My limited power..."
[18:35]  * Lyra_Bel bursts into laughter
[18:35] <Ananke_> "I will give..."
[18:36] <Ananke_> *This prompts a splatter of blood against the floor
[18:36]  * Lyra_Bel laughs through the blood
[18:36]  * Ananke_ wobbles, falling to a knee on the ground
[18:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Lyra! Death!"
[18:37]  * Ananke_ groans feebly in agony at the pain
[18:37] <Lyra_Bel> "Tryna... tryna make amends *NOW*?"
[18:37] <Lyra_Bel> "It's too late"
[18:37] <Lyra_Bel> "I'm doing this."
[18:37] <Ananke_> "I... Am not... To blame for this..."
[18:37] <Lyra_Bel> "I know."
[18:37] <Lyra_Bel> "It's the last poor batch of unfortunate wretches"
[18:37] <Lyra_Bel> "Our broken gods"
[18:38] <Ananke_> "If... It is your desire..."
[18:38] <Ananke_> "The mask..."
[18:38] <Lyra_Bel> "You know exactly what I desire, Sabath."
[18:38] <Ananke_> "could be deleted..."
[18:38] <Lyra_Bel> "Yeah, I care about Carl"
[18:38] <Lyra_Bel> "He's *real* relevant!"
[18:39] <Ananke_> "You would... Never have had to... Deal with him... At all..."
[18:39] <Ananke_> "Time would be... Rewritten..."
[19:19] <Ananke_> "Or you could... Destroy... This world..."
[19:20]  * Lyra_Bel struggles to escape Alex's grip
[19:20] <Lyra_Bel> Roll 1d20+1 to resist getting carried
[19:20] <`DICE> Lyra_Bel rolled 1d20+1 to resist getting carried [ 1d20=3 ]{4}
[19:20] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Lyra we need to get out of here stop please"
[19:20] <Ananke_> Alex carries you
[19:20] <Alexander_Pyrite> Roll 1d20+5
[19:20] <`DICE> Alexander_Pyrite rolled 1d20+5 [ 1d20=5 ]{10}
[19:21]  * Lyra_Bel stills
[19:21] <Lyra_Bel> "Sorry"
[19:21] <Alexander_Pyrite> "We should probably run from this dude"
[19:21] <Alexander_Pyrite> "And don't worry about it."
[19:21] <Lyra_Bel> "H-hallucination"
[19:21] <Ananke_> "She'll die faster... If you move her..."
[19:21] <Ananke_> "Best to wait... Then move her... to the bed"
[19:22] <Ananke_> Lyra can feel her body finally breaking down
[19:22] <Lyra_Bel> "I'll... admit."
[19:22] <Ananke_> And in a way, it's relief
[19:22] <Lyra_Bel> "A wish sounds good"
[19:22] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Wait the bed?"
[19:22] <Lyra_Bel> "But..."
[19:22] <Alexander_Pyrite> "The one she gets resurrected on?@
[19:22] <Lyra_Bel> "It also means you're finally scared."
[19:23] == Procyon [~procyona@c-50-152-241-203.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #RPGStuck_LeeroyJenkins
[19:23]  * Lyra_Bel begins chuckling lightly, interrupted by the occasional cough
[19:23] <Ananke_> "I have been scared for much longer than you could possibly comprehend, child"
[19:23] == Procyon has changed nick to AlexanderPyrite
[19:23] <Lyra_Bel> "I said don't call me that."
[19:23] <AlexanderPyrite> "What does that even mean weird death guy?"
[19:23] <Ananke_> "You'll be rid of me... Soon enough"
[19:23] <Lyra_Bel> "There are only two people who get to call me that, and you killed them both."
[19:24] <Ananke_> "Bring them back then"
[19:24] <Lyra_Bel> "That's not my wish"
[19:24] <AlexanderPyrite> "You can resurrect people?
[19:24] <Ananke_> "I know"
[19:24] <Ananke_> "I will not cheat... You of your wish"
[19:24] <Lyra_Bel> "I could do anything."
[19:25] <Ananke_> "No obvious flaws... No semantics arguments..."
[19:25] <Lyra_Bel> "Make myself happy, make everyone happy"
[19:25] <Lyra_Bel> "Submit my enemies to the same agonies you've put me through."
[19:25] <AlexanderPyrite> "nah thats just going to make us super high or something"
[19:25] <Ananke_> "My powers do have... Limits. I cannot... Say, destroy this game entirely..."
[19:25] <Lyra_Bel> "Exactly."
[19:26] <Lyra_Bel> "I'm not a sociopath."
[19:26] <Lyra_Bel> "No deal."
[19:26] <Ananke_> "You, boy"
[19:26]  * AlexanderPyrite gasps a bit
[19:26]  * Ananke_ turns, slowly, to look at Alex
[19:27] <Ananke_> "Should she... forfeit her... Golden opportunity here"
[19:27] <AlexanderPyrite> "What?"
[19:27] <Ananke_> "It lies in... Your hands"
[19:27] <AlexanderPyrite> "So... I'd get a wish?"
[19:27] <Ananke_> "If you would like"
[19:27] <Ananke_> "... You could help... make her happy again"
[19:27] <Lyra_Bel> "Don't you dare."
[19:27] <Ananke_> "In her new... Life"
[19:28] <AlexanderPyrite> "Shit."
[19:28]  * AlexanderPyrite starts shaking
[19:28] <Ananke_> "You could... Retroactively... Make her happy..."
[19:28] <AlexanderPyrite> "retroactively?"
[19:28] <Ananke_> "I... Am not... Allowed to judge..."
[19:28] <Lyra_Bel> "Hallucination, Alex.  Whatever you say, it'll take.  That's all Sabath does."
[19:29] <Ananke_> "Doom, I am... No hallucination"
[19:29] <AlexanderPyrite> "I..."
[19:29] <AlexanderPyrite> "are... are you sure? if this guys telling the truth"
[19:29] <AlexanderPyrite> "Imagine the possibilites"
[19:29] <Ananke_> "I... Saved you originally... Doom"
[19:30] <Lyra_Bel> "Don't call me that."
[19:30] <Ananke_> "When you first... Fell... Down here"
[19:30] <Ananke_> "I brought... You to... Warmth"
[19:31] <AlexanderPyrite> "What does he mean lyra""
[19:31] <Lyra_Bel> "Another lie meant to make us doubt ourselves."
[19:31] <Ananke_> "I didn't mean.. For... You to be delayed..."
[19:32] <Ananke_> "Just... Wanted... You to live..."
[19:32] <Ananke_> "Wasn't... Yet your time"
[19:32] <AlexanderPyrite> "why did she die already if it wasnt her time?"
[19:33] <Ananke_> "Her time... Is past"
[19:33] <Lyra_Bel> "I already told Tarane"
[19:33] <Lyra_Bel> "Even if you kill me, she'll take care of it"
[19:34] <Ananke_> "I cannot hurt you..."
[19:34] <AlexanderPyrite> "why did i start fucking coughing then?"
[19:34] <Ananke_> "I can barely... Even walk"
[19:34] <AlexanderPyrite> "what did tarane agree to do lyra?""
[19:34]  * Lyra_Bel smiles grimly
[19:35] <Lyra_Bel> "Kill the game."
[19:35] <Ananke_> "Your time is... Drawing... To a..."
[19:35]  * Ananke_ breaks down hacking
[19:35] <AlexanderPyrite> "Kill the game?"
[19:35] <Ananke_> "A close"
[19:35] <AlexanderPyrite> "what the fuck does that mean?"
[19:35] <Lyra_Bel> "Nobody else deserves this"
[19:35] <Lyra_Bel> "We m-make a world"
[19:36] <Lyra_Bel> "Someone in there needs to play too"
[19:36] <Ananke_> "Better to have... Loved and lost... Then never... Loved at all"
[19:36] <AlexanderPyrite> "we make a what?"
[19:36] <AlexanderPyrite> "and what the fuck cliche is that?"
[19:37] <Lyra_Bel> "I know, right?"
[19:37] <Lyra_Bel> "Faerzen said the same thing"
[19:37] <Lyra_Bel> "But y'know what?"
[19:38] <AlexanderPyrite> "what"
[19:38] <Lyra_Bel> "Refusing to conceive isn't the same as killing"
[19:38] <Lyra_Bel> "If it'll stop me, if it'll make me let you keep going, I don't want a wish"
[19:39] <Lyra_Bel> "I just want to turn off the game"
[19:39] <Ananke_> "Boy..."
[19:39] <AlexanderPyrite> "Arent we in the game"
[19:39] <Ananke_> "Your wish..."
[19:39] <AlexanderPyrite> "I would rather not get turned off"
[19:39] <Ananke_> "Hurry..."
[19:39] <Ananke_> "Her time... Runs short..."
[19:39] <AlexanderPyrite> "Her what"
[19:39] <AlexanderPyrite> I back away
[19:40] <Ananke_> "She is about... To die"
[19:40] <AlexanderPyrite> "Fine!'
[19:40] <AlexanderPyrite> "Fine i have a wish"
[19:41]  * Lyra_Bel looks at Alex through bloodied eyes
[19:42]  * AlexanderPyrite is still looking at "anake"
[19:42] <Lyra_Bel> "Promise you won't waste it on me.  Okay?"
[19:43]  * AlexanderPyrite looks at lyra and back at the man
[19:43] <AlexanderPyrite> "alright i need to edit my wish slightly"
[19:44]  * Lyra_Bel snorts
[19:45] <Ananke_> "What better to... Use a wish for... Then... On the one... You love?"
[19:45] <Lyra_Bel> "Don't fall for it"
[19:45] <AlexanderPyrite> "Fuck"
[19:45] <AlexanderPyrite> "Alright i think i have it"
[19:45] <Ananke_> "Speak"
[19:46] <AlexanderPyrite> "I wish"
[19:46] <AlexanderPyrite> "To be able to revive anyone whenever i want, and without any of those beds or one time bullshit"
[19:46] <AlexanderPyrite> "Whenever and however many times i want"
[19:46] <Ananke_> "Death is... inevitable"
[19:46] <Ananke_> "It cannot be done"
[19:47] <Ananke_> "Try... Again..."
[19:47] <AlexanderPyrite> "It'll come to them when I die then."
[19:47] <AlexanderPyrite> "Im just postponing it"
[19:48] <Ananke_> "You... Would shorten your... Lifespan... By half... The years... Remaining on theirs"
[19:48] <Ananke_> "Is... This acceptable...?"
[19:48] <AlexanderPyrite> "Half the years remaining on theirs..."
[19:49] <AlexanderPyrite> I shake my head
[19:49] <AlexanderPyrite> "no, no i cant im sorry lyra i cant"
[19:49] <Ananke_> "There is little..."
[19:50]  * Ananke_ coughs
[19:50] <AlexanderPyrite> "I dont want to die"
[19:50] <Ananke_> "Choose"
[19:50] <AlexanderPyrite> "but if we run out of time, the sure ill take that wish"
[19:50] <AlexanderPyrite> "jsut let me try to come up with soemthing better"
[19:50] <Ananke_> "About... One minute..."
[19:50] <Ananke_> "Until... She dies"
[19:51] <AlexanderPyrite> "uhh. Shit lyra do you have any ideas?"
[19:51] <Lyra_Bel> "Hehe... more wishes."
[19:51] <Lyra_Bel> "More genies"
[19:51]  * Ananke_ smiles sadly
[19:52] <AlexanderPyrite> "Not allowed?"
[19:52] <Ananke_> "Honesty and Open wishing... Comes at the price... Of not allowing wish abuse"
[19:53] <Lyra_Bel> "Just... thinka something after I croak"
[19:53] <Ananke_> Lyra begins to loll in and out of consciousness
[19:53] <Lyra_Bel> "I'll be back right after a-anyway"
[19:53] <AlexanderPyrite> "I dont think i can dedice after you die"
[19:53] <Ananke_> "The wish... Will dissipate... When you die..."
[19:54] <AlexanderPyrite> "Ok ok"
[19:55] <AlexanderPyrite> "Dammit i cant come up with anythign lyra!'
[19:55] <Lyra_Bel> "Kill Sabath"
[19:55] <Lyra_Bel> "Declaw it"
[19:55] <AlexanderPyrite> "I wish this game cant kill us"
[19:56] <Lyra_Bel> "Give... give the next players a chance"
[19:56] <Ananke_> "You must... Substitute lives..."
[19:56] <AlexanderPyrite> "whose?"
[19:56] <Ananke_> "To save them"
[19:56] <AlexanderPyrite> "Whose lives?"
[19:56] <Ananke_> "Other... Players"
[19:57] <Lyra_Bel> "Don't"
[19:57] <AlexanderPyrite> "I cant kill them anyway"
[19:57] <AlexanderPyrite> "Lyra what else can we do?"
[19:57] <Lyra_Bel> "Coil"
[19:58] <Lyra_Bel> "Different dimensions.  Timelines"
[19:58] <AlexanderPyrite> "What?"
[19:58] <Lyra_Bel> "Pick which ones happen"
[19:58] <Lyra_Bel> "Which ones don't"
[19:59] <Ananke_> "You're thinking... Too lofty..."
[19:59] <Ananke_> "Must be... Material"
[19:59] <AlexanderPyrite> "What do you want me to wish?"
[19:59] <AlexanderPyrite> "To be ultra powerful, be able to survive anything?"
[19:59] <AlexanderPyrite> "Any hit?"
[20:00] <Lyra_Bel> "I'm gonna die here"
[20:00] <Ananke_> "Boy"
[20:00] <AlexanderPyrite> "old man"
[20:00] <Ananke_> "You must choose now"
[20:00] <Lyra_Bel> "Can't... decide if it was worth it"
[20:00] <Ananke_> "Make your final wish"
[20:01] <AlexanderPyrite> "Agh"
[20:01] <AlexanderPyrite> "The resurrecting thing"
[20:01] <AlexanderPyrite> "just..."
[20:01] <AlexanderPyrite> "Do that"
[20:01] <Ananke_> "Are you certain?"
[20:02] <AlexanderPyrite> "I dont have anything else"
[20:02] <Lyra_Bel> "Make it worth it"
[20:02] <Lyra_Bel> "Make the good... outweigh the bad"
[20:02] <Ananke_> Lyra's eyes begin to roll up in her sockets as her heart slowly stops beating
[20:03] <AlexanderPyrite> "lyra"'
[20:21] <AlexanderPyrite> "Wait!"
[20:22] <AlexanderPyrite> "I want to be able to fight anyone"
[20:22] <AlexanderPyrite> "fairly"
[20:22] <AlexanderPyrite> "toe to toe"
[20:22] <AlexanderPyrite> "make me as strong as anyone"
[20:22] <AlexanderPyrite> "Anyone that i have to fight to protect myself and my friends"
[20:22] <Ananke_> "You will be... as strong... as anybody you face"
[20:23] <Lyra_Bel> "Anything"
[20:23] <Ananke_> "You will... Fight them... Fairly..."
[20:23] <Lyra_Bel> "Not... everything has a body"
[20:23] <AlexanderPyrite> "Sure that"
[20:23] <Ananke_> "It is done"
[20:24]  * Ananke_ begins to walk away
[20:24] <Ananke_> "Bed... By where... Her stuff was"
[20:24] <AlexanderPyrite> "Wait!"
[20:24] <AlexanderPyrite> "What happens to lyra"
[20:24] <AlexanderPyrite> "WHen i get there?"
[20:26] <AlexanderPyrite> "Lyra"
[20:26] <AlexanderPyrite> "Lyra please dont be dead"
[20:26] <Lyra_Bel> "Heh..."
[20:26] <Lyra_Bel> "Promised I wouldn't"
[20:27]  * Lyra_Bel struggles to lift herself up, and gives Alex a bloody peck on the cheek
[20:27]  * Ananke_ walks away
[20:27] <Lyra_Bel> "Good wish"
[20:27]  * AlexanderPyrite is speechless
[20:27] <Lyra_Bel> "See you after I respawn"
[20:27]  * Lyra_Bel dies.
[20:28] <AlexanderPyrite> "Lyra"
[20:28] <AlexanderPyrite> "Lyra..."
[20:28]  * AlexanderPyrite carries her to the bed where her stuff was
[20:29] <Ananke_> A large green bed with a black stylized skull on it is there
[20:29] <Ananke_> A large post at each corner
[20:29]  * AlexanderPyrite lays her body down
[20:29]  * AlexanderPyrite kneels beside the bed
[20:31] <AlexanderPyrite> "Please come back"
[20:31] <Ananke_> There are no visible changes
[20:31] <AlexanderPyrite> "Lyra"
