- (8:37:58 PM) ***Julianos has gained anti-flea powers, and watches said critters fall to the floor
- (8:38:11 PM) Bryn: Hello person whose name I just misspelt.
- (8:38:21 PM) ***Coyote is glad they are gone! Pests, brutal pests, really. Lucky for you they're gone.
- (8:39:05 PM) ***Bryn has no blood for the fleas to suck, therefore is immune.
- (8:39:29 PM) ***SorcererNoe looks at what is going on in some confusion.

- (8:40:01 PM) SorcererNoe: ...A what?

- (8:42:21 PM) Makari: Chance asking?
- (8:42:22 PM) gattsuru: ... and team.
- (8:42:22 PM) SorcererNoe: What in the world is going on here?

- (8:42:47 PM) ***Coyote attaches himself to a shooting star, letting the flames devour his clingers-on
- (8:42:48 PM) Makari: ...yeah. If I knew for sure, believe me, I'd explain. The world's just crazy. ^_^
- (8:42:54 PM) ***SorcererNoe raises an eyebrow at Bryn.
- (8:43:01 PM) SorcererNoe: I can see that.
- (8:43:04 PM) SorcererNoe: But the rest of this....?
- (8:43:11 PM) Bryn: I survived deep-space
- (8:43:16 PM) Bryn: It'll take more then THAT!

- (8:44:38 PM) Bryn: I have been killed of twenty! no wait... twenty-three times.
- (8:44:49 PM) SorcererNoe: Shooting stars and comets are not the same, as I understand it.
- (8:44:49 PM) Bryn: off*
- (8:45:00 PM) ***Julianos rolls his eyes and notes that shooting stars are usually comets or meteorites
- (8:45:42 PM) Makari: Not always, though.

- (8:46:34 PM) ***SorcererNoe gives a questioning look at Coyote, trying to ignore the strangeness.

- (8:49:47 PM) ***Bryn opens plothole below Julianos into the reality room.
- (8:49:49 PM) Julianos: Launches a small projectile at 15,000 meters per second

- (8:49:57 PM) Bryn: *humph*
- (8:50:00 PM) ***Julianos leaps out of the way just in time
- (8:50:07 PM) Bryn: its five miles wide
- (8:50:08 PM) SorcererNoe: That seems fairly excessive.
- (8:50:12 PM) Bryn: you can't leap it.
- (8:50:27 PM) ***Julianos runs fast to escape the widening hole
- (8:50:39 PM) Bryn: *sighs*
- (8:50:43 PM) ***SorcererNoe watches dubiously.
- (8:50:50 PM) Bryn: dork.
- (8:51:02 PM) ***Coyote retreats to his own damn reality, where things make sense
- (8:51:04 PM) Julianos: How fast does it open, then?
- (8:51:09 PM) ***July is greatly amused.
- (8:51:14 PM) Bryn: instantaniously.
- (8:51:17 PM) Julianos: O_O
- (8:51:24 PM) ***Julianos is now not able to move
- (8:51:26 PM) Bryn: so you are now in.
- (8:51:31 PM) ***Bryn closes the hole

- (8:51:38 PM) Bryn: MWAHAHAHAHAHA
- (8:51:45 PM) Coyote: XD
- (8:51:47 PM) Bryn: >: D
- (8:51:56 PM) SorcererNoe: Do things make sense in any reality?
- (8:52:01 PM) Bryn: *cough* *cough*
- (8:52:03 PM) ***Julianos slowly worms his way out of the suit, then pushes it out in to the hall, and then puts it back on
- (8:52:04 PM) Julianos: I AM FREE
- (8:52:06 PM) SorcererNoe: I've never found it to be the case when July is present.
- (8:52:07 PM) Makari: ...well, maybe. In some of them? If you're lucky?
- (8:52:12 PM) Bryn: dagnabbit.
- (8:52:13 PM) July: ....Hey!
- (8:52:13 PM) Makari: ...there is that.
- (8:52:36 PM) July: ><
- (8:52:39 PM) Makari: Sense is overrated anyway.
- (8:52:48 PM) ***SorcererNoe grins somewhat.
- (8:52:51 PM) Coyote: True!
- (8:52:52 PM) SorcererNoe: It is true, though.
- (8:52:56 PM) SorcererNoe: Isn't it, Makari?
- (8:53:16 PM) ***Bryn gives the ultra-uber-mega-laser-eye-armor-remover-death-glare to Julianos
- (8:53:19 PM) Makari: Sense is less prevalent around July? Yes, probably.
- (8:53:33 PM) ***Julianos holds up a mirror and reflects the laser back at Bryn
- (8:53:35 PM) Makari: If that's what you meant.
- (8:53:37 PM) July: I'm feeling insulted here.
- (8:53:42 PM) ***Bryn sucks armor away in plothole.

- (8:54:05 PM) ***Julianos holds on to a conveniently placed palm tree
- (8:54:19 PM) ***Bryn takes palm trees too.
- (8:54:27 PM) ***SorcererNoe gives a questioning look at the palm tree.
- (8:54:30 PM) SorcererNoe: Where did that come frmo?
- (8:54:32 PM) SorcererNoe: *from
- (8:54:36 PM) Bryn: stupid convenient trees.
- (8:54:42 PM) Bryn: since this is undefined space,
- (8:54:45 PM) ***Julianos holds on to a conveniently placed plushie named Bryn
- (8:54:52 PM) Bryn: it is all white unless we say thing to counteract it
- (8:54:57 PM) SorcererNoe: Trees can appear at will?
- (8:55:00 PM) Bryn: oh yes
- (8:55:00 PM) gattsuru: Too many plot holes opening up; between that and the Generic Location, it's best to be careful where you walk.
- (8:55:05 PM) Bryn: yeah
- (8:55:06 PM) ***SorcererNoe gives Bryn a dubious look.
- (8:55:12 PM) July: I thought we were in a Generic Room.
- (8:55:13 PM) July: >.>
- (8:55:40 PM) Makari: Hmm. Can the two coexist?
- (8:55:40 PM) ***July makes there be walls and couch.
- (8:55:41 PM) Bryn: but don't drink the coffee.
- (8:55:53 PM) Bryn: it is NAH-sta
- (8:55:56 PM) SorcererNoe: Oh, here again.
- (8:56:04 PM) Bryn: obviously.
- (8:56:12 PM) July: Kitchen thataway, bathroom thataway, closet thataway.
- (8:56:13 PM) July: >.>
- (8:56:19 PM) ***July points at the doors leading to each.
- (8:56:25 PM) Makari: ...and outer space thataway? :P
- (8:56:25 PM) Bryn: aww
- (8:56:26 PM) ***Makari points up
- (8:56:29 PM) Julianos: The HFFW room usually takes the form of a dark room, sort of like a bar, where it's raining outside and everyone is just sitting around
- (8:56:36 PM) Julianos: (just sayin')
- (8:56:39 PM) ***Bryn flees to her natural enviroment of undefined space
- (8:56:40 PM) July: This is not the HFFW room.
- (8:56:44 PM) July: This is a Generic Room.
- (8:56:50 PM) Julianos: Julianos> (just sayin')
- (8:56:53 PM) July: It has adequate lighting.
- (8:57:17 PM) SorcererNoe: Unless July turns the lights off and you stumble into something.
- (8:57:22 PM) ***SorcererNoe gives July a mindful look.
- (8:57:29 PM) ***Bryn basks in the unnatural white light and lack of walls of undefined space.
- (8:57:49 PM) ***Julianos turns the lights off
- (8:57:52 PM) Bryn: not to mention the plotholes to everywhere.
- (8:57:58 PM) ***Julianos cause he can
- (8:58:11 PM) Bryn: ice cream, ice cream we all like ICE CREAM!
- (8:58:19 PM) Bryn: sorry.
- (8:58:30 PM) Julianos: lolwut
- (8:58:36 PM) ***July turns the lights back on and tosses a bottle of rum at Julianos' head from the bar.
- (8:58:37 PM) Bryn: pink song reference.
- (8:58:41 PM) Bryn: hehe
- (8:58:55 PM) Bryn: I'm a bit loosy-goosey folks
- (8:59:24 PM) ***Julianos grabs the rum out of mid-air, pulls off his helmet, and downs the bottle
- (8:59:36 PM) ***Julianos replaces his helmet
- (8:59:40 PM) July: ...
- (8:59:56 PM) ***SorcererNoe raises an eyebrow.
- (9:00:07 PM) Bryn: hes odd too
- (9:00:21 PM) Bryn: but just ignore him and his armor fetish.
- (9:00:22 PM) Makari: We're all mad here, though, eh?
- (9:00:32 PM) ***Julianos <3's powered armor
- (9:00:40 PM) MAXinsanity: Excluding me
- (9:00:40 PM) gattsuru: 's what happens when you go among mad people.
- (9:00:57 PM) MAXinsanity: but my subconscious might be even more insane than you guys combined D:
- (9:01:06 PM) MAXinsanity: It probably hates me for reading all that badfic
- (9:01:06 PM) Bryn: oh yes.
- (9:01:14 PM) Julianos: Not possible
- (9:01:20 PM) Bryn: but avoid purple elephants with bleepka.
- (9:01:23 PM) SorcererNoe: Is that what he is wearing?
- (9:01:23 PM) MAXinsanity: MOVE ALONG STUPID HUMANS.
- (9:01:28 PM) Bryn: oh yes
- (9:01:32 PM) SorcererNoe: It doesn't look like any sort of armor I know of.
- (9:01:35 PM) Bryn: he is some sorta sparta dude
- (9:01:39 PM) ***Julianos tackles MAX and stuff a sofa cushion over his head
- (9:01:39 PM) ***gattsuru smacks Max with the caps lock key.
- (9:01:44 PM) Julianos: Hush, silly one
- (9:01:49 PM) Bryn: from angel headgear
- (9:02:03 PM) Julianos: What is Angel Headgear?
- (9:02:11 PM) Bryn: Halo.
- (9:02:12 PM) Makari: A Halo.
- (9:02:13 PM) MAXinsanity: Wtf?
- (9:02:17 PM) SorcererNoe: Angel Headgear...?
- (9:02:21 PM) ***SorcererNoe is lost.
- (9:02:24 PM) ***MAXinsanity takes the sofa cushion off of his head
- (9:02:37 PM) Bryn: A halo is what angels supposedly wear.
- (9:02:40 PM) Bryn: geeze.
- (9:03:02 PM) MAXinsanity: And annoying scouts
- (9:03:05 PM) MAXinsanity: Don't forget those
- (9:03:30 PM) ***Julianos 's armor: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/MJOLNIR_Powered_Assault_Armor/Mark_VI
- (9:03:37 PM) Julianos: >:-3
- (9:03:38 PM) SorcererNoe: What are angels?
- (9:03:45 PM) MAXinsanity: ANGLES?"
- (9:03:49 PM) Makari: Ascended beings, generally.
- (9:03:52 PM) MAXinsanity: Angles are everywhere
- (9:04:04 PM) Coyote: Robots?
- (9:04:24 PM) SorcererNoe: Even on spheres?
- (9:04:32 PM) ***SorcererNoe quirks an eyebrow at MAXinsanity.
- (9:04:55 PM) Bryn: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5195391/1/Forgotten_Memories KILL!

- (9:05:00 PM) ***Bryn whimpers
- (9:05:28 PM) ***Makari chokes
- (9:05:30 PM) Makari: What.
- (9:05:34 PM) Julianos: Well...
- (9:05:44 PM) Julianos: In a 3D engine, spheres are simply a lot of polygons
- (9:05:46 PM) Bryn: KILL IT!
- (9:05:49 PM) Julianos: So yes, even on some spheres
- (9:05:49 PM) Bryn: KILL IT DEAD!
- (9:05:51 PM) gattsuru: 0.p
- (9:06:09 PM) MAXinsanity: ...What is this badfic
- (9:06:12 PM) ***Julianos sputters
- (9:06:14 PM) Makari: One might argue that a sphere rendered as polygons is no longer a sphere, but rather a mere approximation.
- (9:06:14 PM) MAXinsanity: I see nothing of the sort
- (9:06:17 PM) Julianos: LOL
- (9:06:19 PM) ***gattsuru goes for the flamethrower.
- (9:06:31 PM) ***MAXinsanity is nigh-unsquickable

- (9:06:52 PM) Julianos: Wait!
- (9:07:02 PM) ***Julianos twists a couple knobs on the flamethrower
- (9:07:03 PM) Julianos: Okay, go
- (9:07:08 PM) ***Julianos hands the flamethrower to gatt
- (9:07:09 PM) July: That doesn't seem that bad. :/
- (9:07:58 PM) ***gattsuru tests the ignition, starts running around yelling "Mr. Rogers!"
- (9:08:11 PM) Bryn: thats why
- (9:08:15 PM) Julianos: http://xkcd.com/32/
- (9:08:18 PM) SorcererNoe: 3D engine?
- (9:08:29 PM) Julianos: Like, a 3D modeling program
- (9:08:36 PM) Makari: For generating graphics.
- (9:09:02 PM) Makari: Or something along those lines anyway.
- (9:09:20 PM) SorcererNoe: ...Aha?
- (9:09:59 PM) ***July pokes at Coyote!
- (9:10:00 PM) Julianos: Spheres are made by a lot of small polygons
- (9:10:08 PM) Julianos: The more you have, the smoother the sphere
- (9:10:25 PM) July: It seems the trickster is being unsettlingly quiet!
- (9:10:27 PM) Julianos: Technically, it's not a sphere, but it is as far as the coding can be concerned
- (9:10:58 PM) SorcererNoe: The coding...?
- (9:10:59 PM) ***Coyote is a quiet, docile little mouse
- (9:11:15 PM) Makari: Programming. For which only the chosen few have the patience. >.>
- (9:11:16 PM) ***July wonders how a coyote is a mouse at the same time.
- (9:11:27 PM) Bryn: wanna hide with me Coyote/Mouse?
- (9:11:36 PM) SorcererNoe: It's difficult then, I take it, Makari?
- (9:11:41 PM) ***Julianos has little patience for programming XP
- (9:11:44 PM) Makari: Perhaps I just had a poor teacher.
- (9:12:02 PM) Makari: Some of my comrades took to it like fish to water, if you'll pardon the overused simile. But... eh, not me. >.>
- (9:12:22 PM) SorcererNoe: Not your forte, I take it?
- (9:13:08 PM) Makari: So very not. Not even pianissimo.
- (9:13:13 PM) ***Julianos knows html fair enough to do basic web pages, and can do some C++
- (9:13:27 PM) Julianos: I should see if I can get C# on... maybe PERL...
- (9:13:30 PM) ***SorcererNoe laughs.
- (9:13:52 PM) July: I wasn't aware music had anything to do with programming. >.>
- (9:13:54 PM) ***Julianos gives SorcererNoe a sidelong glance as he dusts off his C# discs
- (9:13:55 PM) gattsuru: If you've got to work in it, there's some much funner stuff in C# than C++, although dealing with .net is a pain.
- (9:14:07 PM) Makari: It... doesn't. The crow is making a silly.
- (9:14:17 PM) Julianos: C# = the new C++
- (9:14:18 PM) ***SorcererNoe looks over at Julianos.
- (9:14:19 PM) SorcererNoe: Yes?
- (9:14:35 PM) Julianos: But apparently it's not nearly as friendly to programmers as C++
- (9:14:48 PM) Julianos: You'll have to ask Techno-Dann about it. I think he's worked with it
- (9:14:48 PM) gattsuru: Hm... I wish, but it's not quite there.
- (9:15:09 PM) Miah [4ac28514@widget.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- (9:15:14 PM) Julianos: Hi Miah
- (9:15:16 PM) mode (+v Miah) by July
- (9:15:22 PM) gattsuru: Doing anything involving too many pointers, unmanaged code... well, a lotta shops have both C++ and C# code.
- (9:15:23 PM) July: Heya, thanks for joining in. :D
- (9:15:23 PM) Miah: hello

- (9:16:03 PM) Makari: Deposit half?
- (9:16:06 PM) Bryn: please enjoy your stay, and avoid the coffee
- (9:16:09 PM) July: You might need it later.
- (9:16:15 PM) Bryn: (exact change required)
- (9:16:36 PM) July: Ignore Coyote, he's myffic.
- (9:16:47 PM) ***Julianos beats pointers for a while
- (9:16:51 PM) Bryn: but not me, I'm *magic*
- (9:17:01 PM) July: And a bit insane.
- (9:17:04 PM) ***gattsuru is useless in C++, but still has the stuff bouncing around an SVN repository or two.
- (9:17:04 PM) Bryn: yeah
- (9:17:10 PM) Bryn: but we all are
- (9:17:26 PM) ***SorcererNoe listens to the conversation confusedly.
- (9:17:30 PM) Miah: that's ok. I live with 3 little boys and want more. I lost the sanity a while back
- (9:17:42 PM) Bryn: aww
- (9:17:42 PM) July: Yes, but not nearly as tricksy as a myffic being.
- (9:17:49 PM) Bryn: I teach first-grade
- (9:17:54 PM) ***July nods.
- (9:17:58 PM) Makari: That explains so much.
- (9:18:19 PM) Miah: what is myffic?
- (9:18:22 PM) Bryn: well first-grade through sophomore.
- (9:18:27 PM) Julianos: Mythic

- (9:18:37 PM) MAXinsanity: WHAT!?
- (9:18:39 PM) Bryn: she was just being *fancy*
- (9:18:40 PM) SorcererNoe: A mangled pronunciation, I would assume.
- (9:18:52 PM) MAXinsanity: Horrible mispelling is horrible
- (9:18:58 PM) Bryn: oh yes.
- (9:18:59 PM) Makari: Dunno, made me think Pratchett.
- (9:19:02 PM) gattsuru: A bit /Discworld/ inspired, I think.
- (9:19:04 PM) July: It's not a misspelling.
- (9:19:09 PM) July: It's /myffic/.
- (9:19:09 PM) Bryn: but you do it enough Mr. CAPS LOCK.
- (9:19:27 PM) Bryn: yeppers
- (9:19:27 PM) July: Coyote is pure myffic being.
- (9:19:32 PM) Miah: I'm pretty new to a lot of terms and such. what is the significanc of being mythic?
- (9:19:36 PM) Coyote: Oh.
- (9:19:42 PM) Coyote: Yeah, it was Discworld.
- (9:19:44 PM) Bryn: say, would you sign these papers?
- (9:19:52 PM) Bryn: @Miah
- (9:20:13 PM) gattsuru: myffic ~= mythic as speshul ~= special, in a sorta Nobby and Colon way.
- (9:20:21 PM) Makari: I advise reading the fine print first.
- (9:20:24 PM) Miah: oh, ok
- (9:21:16 PM) Miah: do you work at a very small school to teach thqt age range bryn?
- (9:21:25 PM) Bryn: yeah.

- (9:25:14 PM) Makari: D:
- (9:25:29 PM) Julianos: What?
- (9:25:30 PM) Makari: Nanaimo during the year, Seattle-ish for summers.
- (9:25:31 PM) Miah: cool. I am surprised by so many Southerners
- (9:26:02 PM) July: Man, you guys so need to do a Gathering.
- (9:26:16 PM) July: Just try an' leave Dann in one piece, okays?
- (9:26:28 PM) Bryn: I wish I could do a gathering
- (9:26:45 PM) Bryn: but the next time I travel is in June to Europe.
- (9:26:45 PM) gattsuru: Just getting from one side of Texas to the other can be a good day's drive, though.
- (9:27:02 PM) July: Nah.
- (9:27:10 PM) Miah: most places I get to on the internet, everyone says intelligent things like "The Ozarks and the Appalachians are 1 mountain chain. There is no cultural or geographical difference between the two."
- (9:27:12 PM) July: If you really gun it is about 10.
- (9:27:13 PM) July: >.>
- (9:27:29 PM) Makari: Define 'really gun it'?
- (9:27:32 PM) Julianos: Never heard of the Ozarks...
- (9:27:38 PM) Julianos: '_'
- (9:27:41 PM) Miah: I don't do much travel, myself
- (9:28:00 PM) July: Uh, 70+. And timing it to miss rush hour.
- (9:28:01 PM) Bryn: I travel all over
- (9:28:06 PM) July: Ozarks?
- (9:28:10 PM) Makari: Ah.
- (9:28:11 PM) July: 'Ozarka' water?
- (9:28:20 PM) Miah: Minor mountain range that covers Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas. 15 hours from the Appalachians on Interstate
- (9:28:31 PM) Bryn: four countries, eight states.
- (9:28:45 PM) Julianos: That definitely sounds like a geographical difference XD
- (9:28:49 PM) July: You have your Appalachia billies and your Ozarkan billies.
- (9:28:55 PM) Bryn: yeah
- (9:29:01 PM) gattsuru: Longview to El Paso is a good... 720? 740? miles, so you'd really have to floor it.
- (9:29:04 PM) ***SorcererNoe listens confusedly.
- (9:29:13 PM) July: Yep, pretty much.
- (9:29:14 PM) Miah: Yep. I had to leave that conversation.
- (9:29:29 PM) Bryn: and where are you oh confused one?
- (9:29:36 PM) July: But there are spots off I-10 where there's no one about for miles.
- (9:29:43 PM) July: So you can hammer it up to 100.
- (9:29:59 PM) SorcererNoe: Hm?
- (9:30:05 PM) SorcererNoe: Illene.
- (9:30:13 PM) gattsuru: True.
- (9:30:23 PM) Julianos: Where's Illene?
- (9:30:35 PM) ***July snickers.
- (9:30:40 PM) Julianos: >.<
- (9:30:48 PM) ***SorcererNoe rolls his eyes at July.
- (9:31:18 PM) Makari: Elsewhere, where else?
- (9:31:29 PM) Makari: Hah, don't mind me.
- (9:31:36 PM) SorcererNoe: It's a country.
- (9:31:42 PM) Bryn: ahh.
- (9:32:24 PM) Julianos: ok
- (9:32:53 PM) Bryn: odd. I've never heard it. what country/ies is it near?
- (9:33:34 PM) SorcererNoe: Estrema.
- (9:34:21 PM) Bryn: that doesn't really help.
- (9:34:57 PM) Makari: Helps me, a little. Though, the geography of that particular area is still a bit foggy for me.
- (9:34:59 PM) Julianos: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4962943/1/The_Other_Black_Suit
- (9:35:01 PM) Julianos: ...
- (9:35:02 PM) Bryn: do you mean counties?
- (9:35:06 PM) Julianos: Incompatible!
- (9:35:10 PM) Julianos: Error! Error!
- (9:35:17 PM) SorcererNoe: It doesn't? It's by the Kallies Sea.
- (9:35:51 PM) ***gattsuru searches for a bag of spare carriage return/new lines.
- (9:35:55 PM) ***Julianos reboots
- (9:35:56 PM) Bryn: italy?
- (9:36:43 PM) Makari: That would be the Mediterranean, wouldn't it? Totally different place.
- (9:36:47 PM) SorcererNoe: No.
- (9:37:11 PM) Bryn: I cannot find it.
- (9:37:17 PM) Bryn: not even google can find it.
- (9:38:03 PM) July: Well, that's good.
- (9:38:39 PM) Julianos: If google can't find it, it must not exist
- (9:38:49 PM) Julianos: Sorry SorcererNoe, you must not exist
- (9:38:50 PM) Julianos: (joking)
- (9:39:10 PM) Coyote: ...
- (9:39:15 PM) Bryn: I can't even find it on my world map
- (9:39:19 PM) July: ...
- (9:39:55 PM) Bryn: I searched my atlas even before I turned to google
- (9:40:22 PM) Makari: What conclusion can be drawn from the fact that no atlas nor search engine seems to know of it?
- (9:40:42 PM) Bryn: it does not exist?
- (9:41:11 PM) Bryn: GAH!
- (9:41:22 PM) ***July headdesks.
- (9:41:26 PM) Bryn: one moment I've got another one.
- (9:42:37 PM) SorcererNoe: Oh dear...
- (9:42:40 PM) Bryn: you've all got this figured out, huh?
- (9:42:56 PM) Bryn: and I'm the idiot left behind going WTF.
- (9:42:58 PM) July: I'm sorry, Bryn.
- (9:42:58 PM) Bryn: *sigh*
- (9:43:01 PM) July: Julianos.
- (9:43:05 PM) Bryn: I've got more atlases
- (9:43:08 PM) July: You both fail geography forever.
- (9:43:24 PM) Miah: what would someone mean by "NO HALOS ALLOWED" typed just like that on a fanfic?
- (9:43:38 PM) July: I have no idea. o.o
- (9:43:43 PM) Bryn: yes I do now Explain.
- (9:43:55 PM) Julianos: ok
- (9:43:57 PM) July: If he is from someplace that does not exist...
- (9:44:01 PM) July: That means....
- (9:44:18 PM) Bryn: he is lying?
- (9:44:21 PM) Julianos: What is this about "NO HALOS ALLOWED?"
- (9:44:27 PM) Makari: Not quite, but a logical conclusion.
- (9:44:38 PM) Bryn: uhm.
- (9:44:41 PM) Makari: Though, I shall say I've never known him to lie.
- (9:44:48 PM) Miah: He's from a work of fiction?
- (9:44:50 PM) Bryn: they do not exist and you guys are punking us?
- (9:44:56 PM) July: Congrats to Miah.
- (9:44:56 PM) Bryn: hard.
- (9:45:29 PM) SorcererNoe: I wonder if I should feel somewhat insulted by the insinuation that I would lie.
- (9:45:34 PM) ***SorcererNoe is moderately amused.
- (9:45:41 PM) Miah: I have no idea what the HALOS thing means. I just saw it on a fic. I took it to mean it would particularly poorly written and passed it up
- (9:45:41 PM) Bryn: I APOLOGISE!
- (9:45:50 PM) Bryn: explain. my brain hurts.
- (9:45:56 PM) Julianos: lol
- (9:46:04 PM) Bryn: and I have to teach two classes tomorrow
- (9:46:31 PM) Bryn: and if I am confusled you are cheating them of a fair test.
- (9:46:34 PM) SorcererNoe: I think that would mean I am a fictional character.
- (9:46:38 PM) Bryn: yes.
- (9:46:52 PM) Bryn: so for lack of a better phrase, WHO are you?
- (9:47:04 PM) Miah: pretty agile on the keyboard for a work of fiction, no?
- (9:47:05 PM) SorcererNoe: Jacob Noe.
- (9:47:13 PM) Makari: Fiction doesn't make a character less real... we should know that, though.
- (9:47:16 PM) Bryn: yes I know, I just referenced the who.
- (9:47:34 PM) Makari: Of course.
- (9:47:44 PM) Makari: But don't look at me.
- (9:47:50 PM) Bryn: come on tell me who are you? you? you? yeaah yooou.
- (9:48:07 PM) SorcererNoe: I just did tell you who I am. What more is there for me to say?
- (9:48:08 PM) Bryn: I might as well finish the quote.
- (9:48:14 PM) Bryn: are you oldbie?
- (9:48:17 PM) Bryn: newbie?
- (9:48:19 PM) Bryn: midbie?
- (9:48:21 PM) ***July snickers.
- (9:48:22 PM) Bryn: lost person?
- (9:48:35 PM) Julianos: I'm still wondering where Illene is...
- (9:49:11 PM) SorcererNoe: Why is that, Julianos?
- (9:49:11 PM) ***Bryn attacks SorcererNoe
- (9:49:17 PM) Makari: Bryn, who knew?
- (9:49:31 PM) Bryn: I dunno.
- (9:49:32 PM) Julianos: Cause I don't know where it is, whether it be fictional or not
- (9:49:34 PM) ***SorcererNoe backs away from Bryn.
- (9:49:58 PM) ***Bryn attacks with all her plushie fury
- (9:50:17 PM) ***SorcererNoe pushes Bryn away.
- (9:50:27 PM) SorcererNoe: Would you mind not doing that?
- (9:50:37 PM) Makari: Myself and July both know Jacob. Given that I will swear to many deities that I am not he, nor the one who did the writing...
- (9:50:51 PM) ***Bryn nibbles on his earlobe and hangs there.
- (9:50:57 PM) Bryn: grr.
- (9:51:13 PM) Miah: now that is just funny
- (9:51:14 PM) ***SorcererNoe gives Bryn an askance look and removes her from his ear.
- (9:51:30 PM) July: Vixenmage knows him too, but I don't see her here.
- (9:51:39 PM) Bryn: humoh
- (9:51:42 PM) Bryn: humph too
- (9:51:46 PM) Makari: I meant of the signed-in. I thought it was more than that...?
- (9:51:50 PM) Makari: Bryn, am I too obtuse?
- (9:52:00 PM) MAXinsanity left the room (quit: Quit: ZZZ).
- (9:52:36 PM) Bryn: no I just slightly confused.
- (9:52:42 PM) Bryn: but continue
- (9:53:39 PM) Makari: a) Jacob is fictional. b) Only two people in the area seem to know who he is. c) It follows that one of them is giving him voice.
- (9:53:40 PM) Makari: ...I think.
- (9:53:46 PM) Makari: July, is my logic broken?
- (9:54:15 PM) July: Not in the least.
- (9:54:19 PM) Julianos: :P
- (9:54:33 PM) Bryn: no but which,
- (9:54:37 PM) Julianos: He does seem to be following the tone of a certain... trickster
- (9:54:51 PM) Bryn: granted, this is the girl who didn't know for the longest time that Coyote was VM.
- (9:55:04 PM) Miah: vm?
- (9:55:11 PM) gattsuru: VixenMage.
- (9:55:12 PM) Makari: Wrong tree.
- (9:55:23 PM) July: Where did you even get that line of logic?
- (9:55:29 PM) July: It's not even the same color tree.
- (9:55:34 PM) Bryn: because SOME PEOPLE didn't care to let her in on the joke. *humph*
- (9:56:15 PM) ***Coyote enjoys watching people wander in circles around invisible jokes
- (9:56:27 PM) ***SorcererNoe shrugs apologetically.
- (9:56:48 PM) SorcererNoe: I would say, but I've been asked to not tell.
- (9:57:45 PM) Makari: I wouldn't say it's a joke, per se; perhaps there was a bit of a game, but... oh, dear.
- (9:57:46 PM) Makari: Help.
- (9:57:50 PM) ***Bryn glares the glare of uber-mega-ultra-laser-eye-pant-removing-five-mile-radius-of-DOOOM at all of you.
- (9:57:56 PM) Makari: But I like my pants.
- (9:58:07 PM) Bryn: (and various unluckiness for years)
- (9:58:46 PM) ***SorcererNoe is not especially inconvenienced since he's wearing leggings.
- (9:58:56 PM) ***Coyote has no pants!
- (9:58:57 PM) Julianos: ...
- (9:58:59 PM) ***Coyote needs no pants!
- (9:59:01 PM) Julianos: It's July
- (9:59:15 PM) Bryn: *sigh*
- (9:59:19 PM) Julianos: I think
- (9:59:21 PM) Bryn: you were hit too Julianos
- (9:59:34 PM) July: And it only took you half an hour.
- (9:59:40 PM) Julianos: But I still have pants...
- (9:59:50 PM) Julianos: Every time someone comes in, I'll be checking
- (9:59:51 PM) Julianos: *glare*
- (9:59:52 PM) July: But do you have underwear on still?
- (9:59:57 PM) Bryn: ew.
- (9:59:58 PM) July: Pants are also underwear.
- (10:00:05 PM) Bryn: yeah
- (10:00:26 PM) ***SorcererNoe shakes his head somewhat.
- (10:00:41 PM) Bryn: grrr.
- (10:00:44 PM) Julianos: I still have all my clothing on
- (10:00:51 PM) July: What's the grring for?
- (10:02:38 PM) Bryn: I am an annoyed plushie. it is what we do.
- (10:03:01 PM) SorcererNoe: Is it?
- (10:03:09 PM) Miah: what kind of stories do you all do missions on?
- (10:03:16 PM) Bryn: since I am the only one, Yes.
- (10:03:28 PM) Bryn: I do uber-sues ad retrieve them for RaE
- (10:03:49 PM) Bethany [4b83e4a5@widget.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- (10:03:52 PM) July: I do Floater missions.
- (10:03:59 PM) Julianos: And help strange agents blow up fornicating squid and buildings ;)
- (10:03:59 PM) Miah: RaE? I am really new
- (10:04:01 PM) July: Hallo, Bethany.
- (10:04:01 PM) Bryn: hello!

- (10:04:08 PM) Miah: Hi Bethany
- (10:04:09 PM) Makari: Hello~
- (10:04:12 PM) gattsuru: I'm not Permissioned yet, but I've got a few Sue and Slash / Het fics I've been aiming at.
- (10:04:16 PM) gattsuru: Hello, Bethany.
- (10:04:20 PM) Bryn: RaE is reasearch and expirimention
- (10:04:25 PM) Bethany: Hi.
- (10:04:33 PM) Miah: cool
- (10:04:47 PM) Bryn: we take uber-sues and see how they work
- (10:04:53 PM) Bryn: one second.
- (10:04:56 PM) SorcererNoe: Hello.
- (10:05:10 PM) Miah: would slash/het be where the author took het characters and forced them into slash?
- (10:05:27 PM) Bryn: no
- (10:05:38 PM) gattsuru: Actually, yes, but I meant slash or het.
- (10:05:48 PM) Bryn: its like het characters forced to be slash and vice versa
- (10:05:48 PM) Miah: oh ok
- (10:06:09 PM) Bryn: HAH! I thought so.
- (10:06:09 PM) Miah: man are there a bunch of those on NCIS fanfic
- (10:06:25 PM) Bryn: This is Bethany, my younger sister.
- (10:06:37 PM) Bethany: Hi sis.
- (10:06:58 PM) ***gattsuru has seen fics that can do it well... but a Mary Sue doing a Sweet Polly Oliver and entrancing King Bucko Bigbones at the same time means some brainhurty.
- (10:07:11 PM) Bryn: oh dear.
- (10:08:07 PM) Miah: I have seen it done well about twice on NCIS. The rest weren't to pretty. But I mostly avoid any shippy fic lately because so little of it is any good
- (10:08:10 PM) July: Bryn, isn't this a bit unsuitable for anyone younger than you? :/
- (10:08:17 PM) Bryn: yes.
- (10:08:34 PM) Bryn: which is why I am trying to get rid of her off computer.
- (10:08:52 PM) Bethany: but this is FUN!
- (10:08:56 PM) July: Ahuh.
- (10:09:05 PM) July: I can help if you want. :D
- (10:09:13 PM) Bryn: please do.
- (10:09:21 PM) Bethany: noo!
- (10:09:28 PM) Bethany: i'll be good!
- (10:09:45 PM) Bryn: Bethany. No. go to bed.
- (10:09:53 PM) Bethany left the room (Kicked by July (July)).
- (10:10:02 PM) Bryn: thank you.
- (10:10:09 PM) Bryn: and one sec while I go turn her off.
- (10:11:04 PM) mode (+b Bethany!*@*) by July
- (10:11:23 PM) Miah: Are there any rules in here? I didn't notice on my in. The other group I am on has a PG 13 rule governing chat.
- (10:11:27 PM) July: There you go.
- (10:11:31 PM) July: Not really.
- (10:11:36 PM) Bryn: thank you.
- (10:11:50 PM) July: But given how some badfic can be graphic...
- (10:12:10 PM) Bryn: she seems to think that she knows everything and can do everything because she's a whole eleven years old.
- (10:12:10 PM) July: Basically it is a common sense + if someone asks you to cut it out to cut it out sorta dealie.
- (10:12:28 PM) Bryn: yeah
- (10:12:43 PM) Coyote: Weird. Since when do youth have entitlement issues?
- (10:12:59 PM) Miah: ok. Just thought I'd better check
- (10:12:59 PM) Coyote: I mean, really. What, do they think they're invincible or something?
- (10:13:06 PM) July: AKA, don't link NSFW without making it somewhat obvious.
- (10:13:07 PM) Bryn: basically.
- (10:13:25 PM) Miah: ok
- (10:14:02 PM) gattsuru: Who knows, Coyote? It's not like it were in the Good Olde Days.
- (10:14:31 PM) Makari: When you walked uphill both ways through the snow to school? : P
- (10:14:43 PM) Bryn: and nickels had bumbles bees?
- (10:14:55 PM) Miah: anybody got particular fandoms you work in, or more generalized?
- (10:14:58 PM) Bryn: and shoelaces were called fizzleswings?
- (10:15:15 PM) ***SorcererNoe raises an eyebrow.
- (10:15:20 PM) SorcererNoe: Bumbles bees?
- (10:15:25 PM) Makari: @Miah I'm mostly a JRPG girl, though I'll take on anything I love that's been violated.
- (10:15:33 PM) July: I am very generalized.
- (10:15:42 PM) gattsuru: I'm focusing in /Redwall/ to start, but probably going to end up going across a lotta variety.
- (10:15:47 PM) July: Harry Potter to 1984 to Zelda to Doom to Discworld...
- (10:15:56 PM) Miah: JRPG?
- (10:16:00 PM) Bryn: I'm where the uber-sues are
- (10:16:12 PM) Bryn: EXCEPT pokemon and Sonic
- (10:16:16 PM) Makari: Japanese Role Playing Game. A certain category of video games.
- (10:16:17 PM) gattsuru: Japanese Role-Playing Game.
- (10:16:38 PM) Miah: oh, ok. A lot of new acronyms for me today
- (10:16:41 PM) Bryn: aah.
- (10:16:45 PM) Makari: Slim, but I am fond of my niche, and there is plenty of fuel to keep the fire burning.
- (10:16:52 PM) SorcererNoe: I would hope that question wasn't directed at me as well. I'm not actually part of the PPC.
- (10:18:31 PM) Bryn: no because you are brainhurt july
- (10:18:44 PM) July: Huh?
- (10:18:53 PM) Bryn: he is right?
- (10:19:01 PM) Bryn: dagnabbit I can't remember.
- (10:19:16 PM) ***July doesn't understand the question.
- (10:19:20 PM) Bryn: stupid short term memory.
- (10:19:24 PM) Bryn: nevermind
- (10:19:42 PM) July: CONFUSION.
- (10:20:01 PM) Bryn: aren't you and noe the same?
- (10:20:07 PM) July: No?
- (10:20:20 PM) Bryn: GAH!
- (10:20:44 PM) ***July pokes Makari.
- (10:20:45 PM) Bryn: if I had a halfway decent memory I wouldn't be asking.
- (10:20:47 PM) July: What would you say?
- (10:20:51 PM) Bryn: gah this is annoying.
- (10:20:55 PM) Makari: Me?
- (10:21:07 PM) July: Yeh.
- (10:21:39 PM) Makari: I'd say... that I am very different from the characters I write. So, while they may have come from my head, and may occasionally act through me (and my fingers!), they are not me. Still, I give them voice. Does this sound about right to you?
- (10:21:51 PM) July: Yah.
- (10:22:03 PM) SorcererNoe: That sounds fairly accurate.
- (10:22:07 PM) Makari: Brynsense?
- (10:22:16 PM) Bryn: kindof
- (10:22:25 PM) ***Coyote heads off to go steal some food or something
- (10:22:27 PM) Bryn: but I'll forget it soon enough.
- (10:22:46 PM) Coyote left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (10:22:47 PM) Bryn: chemo obliterated my memory.
- (10:23:39 PM) Julianos is now known as Maslab|Away
- (10:23:41 PM) Maslab|Away: Time for walk
- (10:23:43 PM) Maslab|Away: brb
- (10:23:59 PM) Bryn: bye.
- (10:24:56 PM) July: Hrmmmm.
- (10:25:08 PM) Bryn: have I said that before?
- (10:25:12 PM) ***SorcererNoe raises an eyebrow at July.
- (10:25:15 PM) Bryn: If i have I'm sorry.
- (10:25:21 PM) SorcererNoe: 'Hrm?'
- (10:25:27 PM) July: I'm not allowed to go hrm?
- (10:25:38 PM) Bryn: I'm like a sieve.
- (10:25:49 PM) Makari: Sieves are useful.
- (10:25:52 PM) SorcererNoe: It tends to be foreboding, so not precisely.
- (10:25:57 PM) July: ..?
- (10:26:06 PM) July: How can I not be precisely allowed to go hrm?
- (10:26:08 PM) July: That makes no sense.
- (10:26:17 PM) SorcererNoe: Actually, it does.
- (10:26:24 PM) Bryn: when someone goes 'hrm' it means something bad it going to happen
- (10:26:32 PM) Bryn: or they are having an epiphany
- (10:26:32 PM) SorcererNoe: Precisely.
- (10:26:38 PM) July: I'm not that terrible!
- (10:26:46 PM) SorcererNoe: You're not?
- (10:26:49 PM) July: Not always.
- (10:26:50 PM) July: >.>
- (10:26:58 PM) July: And by always I mean sometimes.
- (10:27:02 PM) SorcererNoe: Sometimes?
- (10:27:06 PM) July: Occasionally, then.
- (10:27:12 PM) July: Very occasionally.
- (10:27:26 PM) Bryn: every-so-once in a while?
- (10:27:43 PM) July: Every so often.
- (10:27:57 PM) ***SorcererNoe shakes his head amusedly.
- (10:27:59 PM) July: ...Okay.
- (10:28:02 PM) July: So I am that terrible.
- (10:28:06 PM) Bryn: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4259083/1/Theres_A_GIRL_At_St_Bartlebys
- (10:28:07 PM) July: Not like you can blame me.
- (10:28:08 PM) Bryn: sue.
- (10:28:11 PM) Bryn: *sigh*
- (10:28:12 PM) July: Nyaaaaaaaaaagh.
- (10:29:06 PM) Miah: This is just guaran teed to be bad. Author description: "Lets just say that Ziva and Tony did not meat when Ziva was assigned to kill Ari.they met when they were 17, when Ziva ran away from Mossod, and she goes and lives with her mother, and meets Tony. TIVA!"
- (10:29:27 PM) gattsuru: 0.o'
- (10:29:27 PM) Bryn: eep.
- (10:29:31 PM) Miah: They messed up a homophone in the description
- (10:29:36 PM) Bryn: and I don't even watch.
- (10:29:53 PM) Bryn: so does that mean one of them is non-organic?
- (10:30:01 PM) Bryn: and is... A ROBOT?!
- (10:30:13 PM) July: Meat is an innuendo!
- (10:30:13 PM) Miah: oh boy
- (10:30:16 PM) July: That must be it!
- (10:30:25 PM) Makari: oh Glod.
- (10:30:28 PM) Bryn: no, one of them is a ROBOT!
- (10:30:42 PM) Bryn: that is my story and I am STICKING TO IT.
- (10:31:19 PM) SorcererNoe: July, that really is terrible.
- (10:31:22 PM) July: LK
- (10:31:25 PM) July: *><
- (10:31:33 PM) Bryn: GAH!
- (10:31:35 PM) Bryn: i just got it.
- (10:31:37 PM) Bryn: UG
- (10:31:40 PM) Bryn: AUUUGH!
- (10:31:42 PM) Miah: Just the premise of that story, bad homophones aside, breaks so many canon things that I think it could be charged
- (10:33:17 PM) Miah: How is AU handled, when the author actually notes that it is AU instead of just Squeeing about their story. (Did I use Squee right, there?)
- (10:33:31 PM) Bryn: yes.
- (10:33:44 PM) Makari: but AU doesn't excuse breaking canon completely.
- (10:33:50 PM) gattsuru: Depends on how well it's done.
- (10:33:54 PM) Bryn: nope.
- (10:33:58 PM) Bryn: but I have good AU
- (10:34:00 PM) July: AU takes the bones of the canon, and tilts them slightly.
- (10:34:07 PM) Bryn: of Potter fandom
- (10:34:14 PM) Bryn: which does tilt it a bit more,
- (10:35:48 PM) gattsuru: There's a worthwhile mention http://www.freewebs.com/ppc_manual/Volume06.htm#iii
- (10:36:02 PM) Miah: So, given that Ziva's mother and father lived together in Israel and that Tony lived somewhere on th East Coast of the US ( I don't think it has specified) that would b a pretty big break, right? At 17 Tony was in military school, which doesn't sound very co-ed to me
- (10:36:15 PM) Makari: There's certain types of AU, though, that are shoot-on-sight, I believe.
- (10:36:43 PM) July: Yeah.
- (10:37:03 PM) July: Like this one where Dumbledore is evil and manipulative and everyone is controlled by him pretty much one way or another.
- (10:37:21 PM) Makari: ugh, I might know the one you're talking about... then again, there's a stupid amount of those.
- (10:37:22 PM) Miah: That sounds pretty bad
- (10:37:27 PM) Bryn: yep
- (10:37:47 PM) July: Partially Kissed Hero?
- (10:37:51 PM) gattsuru: I think I saw that done well. Once. And done badly far too often.
- (10:37:57 PM) Makari: Yeah that's one of 'em.
- (10:38:05 PM) July: It is awful.
- (10:38:09 PM) gattsuru: I've got a soft spot for DarkFic, though.
- (10:38:09 PM) July: The writing is dull.
- (10:38:16 PM) July: And Harry is overpowerful.
- (10:38:21 PM) Miah: I like the example on that link
- (10:38:21 PM) Makari: there's a reason I stopped reading it.
- (10:38:40 PM) July: I'm still reading it since it's a gorgeous example of a trainwreck.
- (10:38:44 PM) Bryn: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2109424/1/Living_with_Danger
- (10:39:01 PM) July: Too 'put together' to PPC, because taste has a lot to do with things.
- (10:39:02 PM) Bryn: Living with Danger » reviews AU, first in the main Dangerverse series, now complete. Lone wolf. Dream-seer. Bright child. Scarred child. Singer. Prisoner. Dancer child. Dragon child. Eight semi-ordinary people. One extraordinary family, and how they became one. Pre-Hogwarts story. Harry Potter - Rated: T - English - Drama/Humor - Chapters: 50 - Words: 219,45
- (10:39:31 PM) Makari: Right there with you. That's actually one of my major worries when picking a mission.
- (10:39:44 PM) Bryn: but this a good one.
- (10:40:07 PM) July: There are some though where it's just obvious, like trying to marry Death.
- (10:40:16 PM) Makari: Oh yes.
- (10:40:36 PM) July: The Dangerverse is one example of that sort.
- (10:40:51 PM) July: It teetertotters on the edge a lot, so is very YMMV.
- (10:41:19 PM) Makari: yeah. I have a sort of soft spot for it because it was one of the first fanfics I found that hooked me, but I can see Sue-ness kind of but then again... yeah.
- (10:41:57 PM) Miah: YMMV? sorry there are a lot of acronyms that I have wondered about for a long time
- (10:42:05 PM) Makari: Your Mileage May Vary
- (10:42:06 PM) gattsuru: Your mileage may vary.
- (10:42:10 PM) July: What they said.
- (10:42:35 PM) Bryn: it does teeter on the third one
- (10:42:48 PM) Bryn: but all in all it is a solid piece of kit
- (10:42:48 PM) Miah: oh, yeah I think I have seen that one before. The only other chat that I hav ever used much is very very light on acronyms. Not much above LOL
- (10:43:52 PM) ***gattsuru shrugs.
- (10:44:37 PM) Miah: Does anyone like Stargate stories?
- (10:45:09 PM) gattsuru: I can't follow past about the middle of the show's run, but there are some pretty good works set in the universe.
- (10:45:09 PM) July: I do.
- (10:46:47 PM) Miah: I hav ben watching them in order through Netflix, and I found that I really don't care for Season 5 at all. I have really had to force myself to watch them so I can get to Season 6. Definite mid series slump there. I liked Seasons 6-8, but haven't 9-10 because I didn't have live tv while they were airing
- (10:46:55 PM) Bryn: I don't watch
- (10:47:10 PM) Miah: Have you ever read the Barista series?
- (10:47:16 PM) July: Crossovers are my soft spot.
- (10:47:27 PM) Makari: Mm, I think I encountered that.
- (10:47:32 PM) Bryn: negatory.
- (10:47:33 PM) Makari: And Stargate crossovers are delightful.
- (10:47:34 PM) Miah: It is very long if taken in one chunk, but I think well written
- (10:48:04 PM) Miah: http://www.dietcokechic.com/stargate/
- (10:48:12 PM) Makari: I don't recall much about it, so I'm afraid I can't offer an informed opinion. I take it that's the link?
- (10:48:26 PM) Miah: yeah
- (10:49:03 PM) Miah: It's on ffnet as well, but as one story. I think over 300k
- (10:49:09 PM) July: There're a few where they crossover with Buffy the Vampire Slayer fantastically.
- (10:49:17 PM) July: And another couple with HP, of course.
- (10:49:22 PM) July: Haven't found much others.
- (10:50:18 PM) Miah: I read an x-men crossover that started brilliantly, but never finished
- (10:50:35 PM) Bryn: there was an iffy x-men/Hp crossover
- (10:51:10 PM) Bryn: well i'm off to bed
- (10:51:13 PM) Bryn: night y
- (10:51:17 PM) Bryn: you guys!
- (10:51:20 PM) Makari: 'night, Bryn
- (10:51:22 PM) Bryn left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (10:51:23 PM) Miah: good night
- (10:51:29 PM) July: There are a lot of iffy X-Men/HP crossovers.
- (10:51:50 PM) Miah: think I'll head off too. Got to do school tomorrow.
- (10:51:59 PM) July: Ah, night.
- (10:52:04 PM) Makari: Night, then
- (10:52:30 PM) Miah: ok. is ther a logout button, or does closing the window do the trick?
- (10:53:08 PM) Miah left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (10:57:39 PM) gattsuru: Hm... do canon Sues have glitter?
- (10:58:22 PM) July: I don't think so.
- (10:58:37 PM) ***July peers at SorcererNoe and checks for glitter.
- (10:58:48 PM) ***SorcererNoe rolls his eyes.
- (11:00:49 PM) Makari: I'd come down on the side of no as well. They've more substance than the fan-Sue, I think.
- (11:01:21 PM) gattsuru: Guess that makes sense.
- (11:01:36 PM) July: I see some lint. Does that count?
- (11:03:22 PM) gattsuru: Eh... probably not enough to confuse someone from the DMS.
- (11:03:59 PM) ***SorcererNoe gives July a Look.
- (11:04:07 PM) gattsuru: I guess Ayn Rand jokes would be low-hanging fruit anyway, even despite the effort required to make a fanSue in that setting.
- (11:04:20 PM) SorcererNoe: No. Lint does not count.
- (11:09:19 PM) July: Gattsuru: John Galt's beautiful daughter from a secret marriage and she's also the chosen heir of some robber baron.
- (11:09:23 PM) July: And part fairy.
- (11:09:32 PM) July: Maybe has a deathly illness.
- (11:09:36 PM) Makari: Um.
- (11:09:36 PM) Makari: What.
- (11:10:03 PM) gattsuru: Nah, that could be done well. Something that makes Galt save the world, that'd be ugly.
- (11:10:28 PM) July: All sues can be done well though.
- (11:10:44 PM) gattsuru: What'd take to be a Sue in the Atlas Shrugged or Fountainhead setting.
- (11:11:57 PM) July: Time travel.
- (11:12:02 PM) July: Princesses.
- (11:12:25 PM) July: ~~~**~Magic~**~~~
- (11:12:39 PM) gattsuru: Yeah, princesses alone would be a reason to call in DOGA.
- (11:12:41 PM) Makari: I like the sparkly tildes.
- (11:12:46 PM) gattsuru: Magic... http://imago.hitherby.com/?p=380
- (11:13:10 PM) gattsuru: Yeah, those tildes are rather funny.
- (11:13:26 PM) July: XD;
- (11:18:49 PM) Maslab|Away is now known as Maslab
- (11:19:10 PM) Maslab is now known as Julianos
- (11:19:18 PM) Julianos: Back
- (11:20:00 PM) gattsuru: Welcome back, Squire Julianos.
- (11:20:27 PM) Julianos: It is good to see thee again, Sir Gattsuru
- (11:21:43 PM) Julianos: Might'th I inquire something?
- (11:21:58 PM) Julianos: Doth our Agents ever sleepeth?
- (11:22:05 PM) Julianos: (Sorry for the mangling)
- (11:22:11 PM) July: If they can get away with it.
- (11:22:15 PM) FractalDawn [126f5d55@widget.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- (11:22:16 PM) gattsuru: Okay, I'll avoid the Elder Scrolls reference.
- (11:22:22 PM) gattsuru: Hello, FractalDawn.
- (11:22:29 PM) FractalDawn: Hi, everyone.
- (11:22:30 PM) Makari: Sleep? I know I've heard of it... Hello.
- (11:22:31 PM) SorcererNoe: Hello, Lee.
- (11:22:35 PM) ***FractalDawn is Lee, for those who remember
- (11:22:38 PM) Makari: whatwhatLee.
- (11:22:41 PM) Julianos: Hi Lee
- (11:22:41 PM) gattsuru: Mostly in mission, at least during TOS.
- (11:22:43 PM) FractalDawn: MAKARI.
- (11:22:46 PM) Makari: LEE.
- (11:22:53 PM) FractalDawn: */me GLOMS MAKARI SO MUCH
- (11:23:05 PM) ***July suggests removing the asterisk.
- (11:23:08 PM) FractalDawn: I missed you, sillyperson.
- (11:23:09 PM) Julianos: But would it be allowed for them to sleep in HQ?
- (11:23:12 PM) ***Makari slowly chokes
- (11:23:15 PM) Makari: I missed you too.
- (11:23:17 PM) July: Some RCs have beds.
- (11:23:18 PM) Makari: Sorry.
- (11:23:26 PM) Makari: (operative word: some)
- (11:23:32 PM) ***FractalDawn offers chocolate in compensation for lost air?
- (11:23:36 PM) July: Depends on the agents themselves, really.
- (11:23:43 PM) ***Makari noms chocolate
- (11:23:50 PM) Makari: we should talk like things that talk.
- (11:23:54 PM) Makari: or something.
- (11:23:54 PM) FractalDawn: (Also, hi Jacob, am not ignoring you I swear. Also you and July are cruel people.)
- (11:23:57 PM) ***Makari is happy
- (11:23:58 PM) gattsuru: Presumably those in less... active... fandoms have relatively more free time.
- (11:23:59 PM) Julianos: What do you mean by that, July?
- (11:24:04 PM) Julianos: ok
- (11:24:13 PM) SorcererNoe: It's fine, I understand.
- (11:24:25 PM) SorcererNoe: And it's not my fault; I was under orders.
- (11:24:26 PM) gattsuru: Plus whoever can manipulate the Ironic Overpower best has a tad of an advantage.
- (11:24:29 PM) ***SorcererNoe rolls his eyes.
- (11:24:37 PM) FractalDawn: We shoooould. I had to get a new computer, thus the lack of Gchat ATM--Makari, do you use AIM at all?
- (11:24:45 PM) FractalDawn: I am a fan of the Ironic Overpower myself.
- (11:24:55 PM) FractalDawn: Mostly because it doesn't torture me.
- (11:25:04 PM) Makari: ehkinda? I think I have an account running around somewhere all I have to do is find it and oh maybe the application oh god I need a comma help
- (11:25:24 PM) July: All Agents have their own way of doing things.
- (11:25:33 PM) Julianos: Here, borrow one of mine: ,
- (11:25:38 PM) July: Some desperately cling to the idea of sleeping in a bed at HQ.
- (11:25:56 PM) July: Some steal naps during long badfics while on missions.
- (11:26:00 PM) July: Or sleep that way.
- (11:26:42 PM) July: Library manages to warp the Ironic Overpower somehow so that she can get a proper sleep.
- (11:26:43 PM) Makari: Found it.
- (11:26:55 PM) July: July is not quite so lucky.
- (11:27:42 PM) July: (Library is the straight man so well that even the Ironic Overpower goes around her, as it were.)
- (11:27:56 PM) Julianos: Maybe the Ironic Overpower would work things to allow my agent to sleep...
- (11:28:40 PM) July: It doesn't work like that.
- (11:29:02 PM) ***Julianos shrugs
- (11:29:35 PM) July: If both are getting off scott free it doesn't work like that.
- (11:29:46 PM) Julianos: It's irony, it's not supposed to be what you expect
- (11:29:56 PM) July: Library gets away with it because the Ironic Overpower is attracted to making things go wrong for July.
- (11:29:57 PM) Julianos: Oh, he doesn't get off scott free
- (11:30:02 PM) July: There's no humor in that.
- (11:30:14 PM) gattsuru: The closest thing to a rule I can grasp is that it'll only work for one Agent if it screws the other over worse.
- (11:30:24 PM) July: Pretty much.
- (11:30:34 PM) July: State of funny, you play the two off each other.
- (11:30:47 PM) gattsuru: Or turns it into well-framed bathos, but only on occasion.
- (11:31:06 PM) July: It's why you usually have combos such as the manic agent and the violent agent or the unlucky agent and the lusting agent and so forth.
- (11:31:13 PM) July: They are paired to be mismatched.
- (11:31:20 PM) FractalDawn: I think when I get back to Mission-doing, I think Robin will get some Ironic Overpower in a funny way
- (11:31:41 PM) Julianos: I've got to go
- (11:31:42 PM) Julianos: Bye
- (11:31:42 PM) Julianos left the room (quit: Client closed connection).
- (11:31:45 PM) Makari: Which. By the way. Should we maybe finish what we started aeons ago?
- (11:32:01 PM) FractalDawn: With her partner (who may need a rename) being the, er... how shall we say... one who frightens the ironic overpower
- (11:32:13 PM) Makari: Someday?
- (11:32:13 PM) July: Or in Lee's case, the short giddy insane agent and the tall blond 'un who is quietly insane.
- (11:32:27 PM) ***SorcererNoe snorts.
- (11:32:34 PM) FractalDawn: short-giddy-not-so-insane-but-looks-it agent
- (11:32:58 PM) SorcererNoe: I thought you were able to do better descriptions than that/
- (11:32:58 PM) SorcererNoe: ?
- (11:33:03 PM) Makari: Hee. Ah, AIM. Ceryu. Am not misplacing the Lee again.
- (11:33:11 PM) July: It's half till midnight, gimme a break. >.>;
- (11:33:39 PM) FractalDawn: And... well, lately, the tall blond 'un is less insane
- (11:34:35 PM) ***July pokes at Makari.
- (11:34:43 PM) July: You should get whatstheirfaces their own accounts. >.>
- (11:35:15 PM) Makari: ...there are upwards of twenty different characters banging on the inside of my skull.
- (11:35:45 PM) ***July being a July, 'whatstheirfaces' is pretty specific, considering.
- (11:35:52 PM) Makari: One supposes.
- (11:35:59 PM) Makari: I think I have half an idea who you mean, at any rate.
- (11:36:05 PM) mode (+v FractalDawn) by July
- (11:36:16 PM) July: Of course you do.
- (11:36:59 PM) FractalDawn: ......I vaguely feel like one day I may need to get Tavi one. Just. Because. Er.
- (11:36:59 PM) Makari: Perhaps.
- (11:37:39 PM) July: And not one for your whatshisface? :P
- (11:37:45 PM) FractalDawn: No.
- (11:37:51 PM) July: Why no?
- (11:37:51 PM) FractalDawn: He's been... a lot quieter lately.
- (11:37:59 PM) FractalDawn: *Disturbed, in a way*
- (11:38:06 PM) FractalDawn: Adrian hangs out plenty.
- (11:38:32 PM) SorcererNoe: Not everyone cares to be constantly bothered by you as well, July.
- (11:38:34 PM) July: >.>
- (11:38:52 PM) July: I'm not that bad.
- (11:39:27 PM) SorcererNoe: You go to the point of 'messaging' me while you have class. To discuss.
- (11:39:46 PM) SorcererNoe: Which is somewhat pointless, considering you don't need to type it out.
- (11:39:52 PM) July: ....Ssh.
- (11:40:20 PM) Makari: Sometimes writing things out makes them make sense?
- (11:43:05 PM) July: >.>
- (11:47:40 PM) gattsuru: Or at least makes it easier to remember.
- (11:51:39 PM) gattsuru: In media res is tricky to pull off well.
- (11:52:03 PM) ***July mutters something about the weather.
- (11:55:43 PM) gattsuru: Have a nice night, all.
- (11:55:45 PM) gattsuru left the room (quit: Quit: zz ).
- (12:27:37 AM) ***FractalDawn notes that everyone is very quiet
- (12:28:09 AM) Makari: Yeah that will happen.
- (12:28:50 AM) Makari: ^_^
- (12:28:59 AM) ***July hums~?
- (12:29:18 AM) ***SorcererNoe wonders why he's still in here, his purpose apparently having been fulfilled.
