Faerzen & Nick say goodbye

06[12:11] * Faerzen[aberrant] you see Faerzen staring odd into space, swinging his arms around in the air
[12:12] <Faerzen[aberrant]> *off
06[12:12] * Faerzen[aberrant] looks over at Nick
[12:12] <Nick_Varnegs> huh?
03[12:12] * Faerzen[aberrant] is now known as Faerzen_Norstov
06[12:13] * Nick_Varnegs lands near faerzen and falls exhausted to the grass, breathing heavily
[12:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh, it seems you.... Decided to return
[12:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> Did I say something?
[12:13] <Nick_Varnegs> *heavy breathing* i... said... i... was.... going... to... come... back
[12:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> We were literally just speaking to one another and you leave to tell Byron to speak with me?
[12:14] <Nick_Varnegs> its... just that... i didnt want the.... conversation devolving... into that
[12:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> I'm not sure I follow
06[12:14] * Nick_Varnegs takes a really deep breath
[12:14] <Nick_Varnegs> that's so much better
[12:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> I can't see any conversation between you and Byron being anywhere near productive
[12:15] <Nick_Varnegs> i just didn't want our conversation derailing into... that
[12:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> Into what?
[12:15] <Nick_Varnegs> omnisciense took a toll on me, i used pain as a... coping mechanism okay?
06[12:15] * Nick_Varnegs looks away and blushes lightly
[12:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> Wait.....
[12:16] <Faerzen_Norstov> You're talking about your back?
[12:16] <Faerzen_Norstov> I wasn't even going to say anything about that!
[12:16] <Nick_Varnegs> ... you weren't?
[12:16] <Nick_Varnegs> oh
[12:16] <Nick_Varnegs> oh.
06[12:16] * Nick_Varnegs fully fledgedly blushes
[12:16] <Nick_Varnegs> i know... im a pervert
06[12:16] * Nick_Varnegs facepalms
[12:16] <Faerzen_Norstov> I was about to describe how I would be right now if I hadn't had you
[12:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> And I was carefully thinking
[12:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> Sorry I took so damn long
[12:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> I...... Think a lot
[12:17] <Nick_Varnegs> go on.
[12:17] <Nick_Varnegs> i know
[12:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well
[12:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don't really remember what we were talking about
[12:18] <Nick_Varnegs> you shredded a shopkeeper to pieces and you are quite broken mentally
[12:18] <Nick_Varnegs> that was it right?
[12:18] <Nick_Varnegs> you tasted my side, and i had a taste of yours
[12:19] <Nick_Varnegs> and it sort of... wasn't nice
[12:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well yeah
[12:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> Let me try and remember what I was saying
[12:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((Checking pastebin))
[12:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh yeah
[12:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> We were talking about this game
[12:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> And how it tears us down
[12:22] <Nick_Varnegs> and then i ran off because i though you noticed... this
06[12:22] * Nick_Varnegs turns around and points the scratches to faerzen
[12:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> And I said I couldn't have made it here without you and Byron
[12:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yeah......
[12:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well without you, I would........
06[12:23] * Faerzen_Norstov takes a deep breath
03[12:23] * Archive is now known as Train
[12:24] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
[12:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> I would almost certainly still be a miserable self-deprecating ball of mess
[12:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> I may be a beacon to you
06[12:25] * Nick_Varnegs takes faerzen's hand
[12:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> As imperfect and messed up as that beacon is
[12:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> But you
03[12:26] * Train is now known as Archive
[12:26] <Faerzen_Norstov> We're a boat, trying to navigate the treacherous seas of this game
[12:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> I may be a beacon of sorts, but you are what keeps me going
[12:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> You are the strength behind us
[12:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> The power that keeps us moving
06[12:27] * Nick_Varnegs lets go of faerzen's hand... and tackle-hugs him
[12:27] <Faerzen_Norstov> I would have quit by now if I didn't have something to fight for
[12:28] <Nick_Varnegs> im glad you are here.
06[12:28] * Faerzen_Norstov hugs Nick fiercely
[12:29] <Faerzen_Norstov> This game may try to tear us down but together we're better than that
[12:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> I hope
[12:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> I want to hope
[12:30] <Nick_Varnegs> who needs hope when i have you
[12:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> But it's hard
[12:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> Okay, that was cheesy even by *my* standards :)
[12:30] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
[12:30] <Nick_Varnegs> i know
06[12:30] * Nick_Varnegs keeps hugging faerzen
[12:31] <Nick_Varnegs> what did you expect from someone that should be dead by the standards of normal time?
[12:31] <IcyByron> <so can i interject>
06[12:31] * Nick_Varnegs just wont let go from the hug
06[12:32] * Faerzen_Norstov smirks
[12:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hahaha
[12:32] <Nick_Varnegs> ((well... you CAN))
[12:32] <Nick_Varnegs> :)
03[12:32] * IcyByron is now known as masterfulShooter

[12:33] <masterfulShooter> hello?
06[12:34] * Faerzen_Norstov swings his hand through the air to dismiss the notification
[12:34] <masterfulShooter> Faerzen

03[12:38] * Faerzen is now known as visceralVanguard
03[12:38] * SolemnSketcher is now known as nick_varnegs

<Faerzen and Byron talk on Esperchum>

06[13:44] * nick_varnegs is basically just finishing a card pyramid with a tarot deck
03[13:44] * visceralVanguard is now known as Faerzen_Norstov
[13:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hey Nick
[13:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> Sorry about that
[13:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> That took much longer than I thought
[13:45] <nick_varnegs> just a second
[13:45] <nick_varnegs> im missing just a card
06[13:46] * nick_varnegs puts the two cards at the top, finishing the pyramid
[13:46] <nick_varnegs> ...
[13:46] <nick_varnegs> its okay faerzen :)
[13:46] <nick_varnegs> i dont mind waiting for things
[13:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> Sorry that took so long
[13:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> Byron does like to talk
13:56] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thank you for being patient :)
[13:56] <nick_varnegs> eh... its was what... half an hour? :p
06[13:57] * Faerzen_Norstov sighs
[13:57] <nick_varnegs> so... what did byron tell you?... apart from the ogres and him wanting to make a "comic" about me
[13:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> Mostly that
[13:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> And how he is frustrated that he isn´t getting to see any horrible visions or experience murderous rampages
06[13:57] * nick_varnegs facepalms
[13:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> To which I tried to convince him he doesn´t actually want to experience
[13:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> As I think we can both attest
[13:58] <nick_varnegs> that man is incredible
[13:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yeah....
[13:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> About him
[13:58] <nick_varnegs> really? i dont think he wants either side of the coin
[13:58] <nick_varnegs> yes?
[13:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> What do you mean by that?
[13:58] <Faerzen_Norstov> What about coins?
[13:59] <nick_varnegs> ... we are quite opposite if you think about it
[13:59] <nick_varnegs> and where does that leave byron?
[13:59] <nick_varnegs> we need like a... thing that can be represented by three parts and stuff
[13:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> In some ways, I think Byron is sort of like the average of the two of us, but with his own dimension added onto that
[13:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> He is quite the character
[14:00] <nick_varnegs> yes... he's basically... a guy
[14:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> But about him right now
[14:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> He´s very preoccupied trying to climb this mountain
[14:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don´t know if he tried to hide it from you, but he almost died
[14:00] <nick_varnegs> he did tell me
[14:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> And he´s only a third of the way up the mountain
[14:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> I gave him some advice, but I think it´s best if we leave him alone for the moment
[14:01] <nick_varnegs> im worried that he may... you know
[14:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> I told him to keep in touch with me when he need to
[14:01] <nick_varnegs> you think this is a journey that he has to make on his own?
[14:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> But with his implant, either of us talking with him and the wrong time could spell disaster
[14:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> *at the wrong time
[14:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> I think so, yes
06[14:02] * nick_varnegs nods thoughfully
[14:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> But also, I don´t want us to be the cause of his failure
[14:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> If he is in the middle of a fierce battle and you contact him
[14:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> You know he is going to go into a shouting tirade again
[14:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> And with his attention span, he will probably get clobbered by an ogre while he is busy yelling at you
[14:03] <nick_varnegs> i told him i was going to train him on prospit
[14:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> So I told him to update me periodically with how he is doing and if he needs anything
[14:03] <nick_varnegs> he still is there after all
[14:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> But I don´t think either of us should contact him at all outside of that
[14:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> He agreed
[14:03] <nick_varnegs> can i... still do that?
[14:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> All your conversations end up being at argument matches anyways
[14:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, I would think so!
[14:03] <nick_varnegs> great!
[14:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don´t think he will be going to sleep any time soon though
[14:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> So probably after he is done with this mountain business
[14:04] <nick_varnegs> dont worry i wont bother him outside our training ;p
[14:04] <nick_varnegs> ok.
[14:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> I will let you know when he is all clear to talk to again
[14:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> When he lets me know that he is done with his climb!
06[14:04] * nick_varnegs turns around, his glaive appearing in his hand in the process and making the card pyramid colapse
[14:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> :(ç
06[14:04] * nick_varnegs captchalogues his glaive again
[14:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> What was that for?
[14:05] <nick_varnegs> eh.
[14:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> I liked it :(
[14:05] <nick_varnegs> i could rebuild it
[14:05] <nick_varnegs> ... now... something comes to mind
[14:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hmmm?
[14:06] <nick_varnegs> he... he talked about these right?
06[14:06] * nick_varnegs flaps his wings
[14:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> Sigh
[14:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes
[14:06] <nick_varnegs> dear god i dont want to even know what he twisted my words into
[14:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> He didn´t even both twisting your words, he simply made up his own
[14:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> *bother
[14:07] <nick_varnegs> oh
[14:07] <nick_varnegs> oh god
02[14:07] * aberrantArtificer (~aberrantA@62.57.72.234.dyn.user.ono.com) Quit (Quit: Bye)
[14:07] <nick_varnegs> lets not go into that
[14:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> I agree
[14:08] <nick_varnegs> great
06[14:08] * nick_varnegs gives a thumbs up as he kneels to pick up the cards
[14:08] <nick_varnegs> ...
06[14:09] * nick_varnegs begins humming a song while doing so
06[14:09] * Faerzen_Norstov helps pick up cards
[14:09] <nick_varnegs> thanks faerzen
[14:09] <nick_varnegs> <you see the cards are drawn by hand with red ink on a piece of yellow-ish paper>
[14:10] <nick_varnegs> ...
06[14:10] * nick_varnegs takes a deep and slow breath...
[14:10] <Faerzen_Norstov> Is something wrong?
[14:10] <Faerzen_Norstov> You seem awfully quiet
[14:10] <nick_varnegs> i still think i should leave
[14:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> ....
[14:11] <nick_varnegs> there's just...
[14:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> I thought you would say this
[14:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> Please continue though
[14:12] <nick_varnegs> its just that... look faerzen... i want to be here but... i shouldn't
[14:12] <nick_varnegs> there's just...
[14:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> The baby?
[14:13] <nick_varnegs> that and...
[14:13] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> Nick stares a moment at the 10 of Swords in his hand
[14:13] <nick_varnegs> look
06[14:13] * nick_varnegs decaptchalogues a crumpled paper
[14:14] <nick_varnegs> here
[14:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> What is this?
[14:14] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <Isn't the stuff from the folder you had blank Nick?>
[14:14] <nick_varnegs> it was my... note saying... goodbye
[14:14] <nick_varnegs> ((nope))
[14:15] <ATtheorytime[Huelicopter]> <my bad>
06[14:15] * Faerzen_Norstov slowly lowers his eyes and reads the note ((what does it say?))
[14:15] <nick_varnegs> <the note written in shaky letters reads "i have to leave faerzen... A brief glimpse into the future was all that was needed for me to see how badly this is going to end..." ((this continues))
[14:15] <nick_varnegs> "There are but a small amount of branches in the future and many of them end up in the death of one of us... At the hands of the other"
[14:16] <nick_varnegs> i want you to know faerzen, i do this for the both of us, i do this because i dont want you getting hurt... I do this for a future... Knowledge made me see how badly i am going to fuck up you are my beacon faerzen, you are my light... With you i never feel lost, you burn brightly in my mind and i will never forget you... See you later
[14:16] <nick_varnegs> i love you, but i shouldn't stay
06[14:16] * nick_varnegs finishes picking up the tarot cards and packing them all in their box
06[14:16] * Faerzen_Norstov sits there in silence
06[14:17] * nick_varnegs stares at the ground without saying a word
[14:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> Regardless of how shaky your beacon is, isn´t having a beacon better than becoming lost in the storm of your own darkness?
[14:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> I fear what will happen to both of us if we are together
[14:17] <Faerzen_Norstov> But I also fear what will happen if we are alone
[14:18] <Faerzen_Norstov> Believe me, I know the risk in being here with you
[14:18] <Faerzen_Norstov> The book has told me many things
[14:18] <Faerzen_Norstov> But to me, it is still worth it
[14:18] <Faerzen_Norstov> If you feel you must leave, I won´t stop you
[14:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> But I would ask that you take care of the baby and do not isolate yourself in your dark land
[14:19] <Faerzen_Norstov> For it is an easy place to lose yourself in
[14:20] <nick_varnegs> i am not losing myself in any crag or plain... but im losing myself here
06[14:20] * nick_varnegs points to his head
[14:20] <nick_varnegs> i need to seek myself faerzen
[14:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> Very well
[14:20] <nick_varnegs> i need to seek my inner vision... i need to find me
[14:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> Let me know however I can help you in that journey to find yourself
[14:20] <nick_varnegs> just... one thing
[14:20] <Faerzen_Norstov> I only hope you do not lose yourself along the way to find yourself
[14:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> Don´t be alone in this
[14:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> Yes?
[14:21] <nick_varnegs> i just... i just want a final kiss
[14:21] <nick_varnegs> a token of goodbye
[14:21] <Faerzen_Norstov> Final?
[14:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> You make it sound..... as though this is an end
[14:22] <nick_varnegs> figuratively speaking.
[14:22] <nick_varnegs> this is not an end
[14:22] <nick_varnegs> but who knows how long till time reunites us again
06[14:22] * Faerzen_Norstov breathes a sigh of relief
[14:22] <Faerzen_Norstov> I am only an EsperChat or a Gate away!
[14:23] <nick_varnegs> i still love you you silly
[14:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> Time has an odd way of playing with our lives, doesn´t it_
06[14:23] * nick_varnegs gives the box of cards to faerzen
[14:23] <nick_varnegs> here
[14:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> I don´t think I will ever truly understand how it works
[14:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> For me?
[14:23] <nick_varnegs> yes
[14:23] <Faerzen_Norstov> ..... thank you :)
06[14:24] * Faerzen_Norstov embraces Nick tightly
06[14:24] * nick_varnegs hugs back
06[14:24] * Faerzen_Norstov runs one of his hands through Nick´s hair
[14:24] <Faerzen_Norstov> I know.......
[14:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> I know you may not have had the most sensible of motives in coming here
[14:25] <Faerzen_Norstov> But I am glad you did
[14:26] <nick_varnegs> <you can feel from your embrace nick shaking slightly as he mutters>
[14:26] <nick_varnegs> i aam glad my recklessness leaded to this
[14:26] <nick_varnegs> of every risk i have taken in my whole life
[14:26] <nick_varnegs> ... going trough that gate was the best of them
[14:27] <nick_varnegs> ((shit gotta go
06[14:27] * Faerzen_Norstov pulls his head back while still embracing Nick
06[14:27] * Faerzen_Norstov you ready for that kiss?

03[14:30] * Nick_Varnegs (webchat@181.172.121.7) has joined #RPGStuck_Horrorterrors
[14:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((yo))
[14:30] <Nick_Varnegs> ((from the "you are ready for this kiss?))
[14:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((did you get the things for pastebin before you closed?))
[14:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((yeah sounds good))
[14:30] <Nick_Varnegs> ((yes, ill pm them to you later))
[14:30] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((nice))
06[14:31] * Faerzen_Norstov pulls his head back while still embracing Nick
[14:31] <Faerzen_Norstov> You ready for that kiss?
06[14:31] * Faerzen_Norstov smirks
[14:31] <Nick_Varnegs> i have never felt both ready and not at the same time
[14:32] <Nick_Varnegs> i think that is a yes?
[14:32] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well then, I guess that means we just need to go for it. :)
06[14:32] * Faerzen_Norstov pulls Nick in for a farewell kiss
06[14:32] * Nick_Varnegs smirks and goes for it
06[14:33] * Nick_Varnegs pulls faerzen into a tight hug/kiss romantic combo
[14:33] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((where making this hapen))
[14:33] <Nick_Varnegs> ((yep))
[14:33] <Nick_Varnegs> ((at dont kill us, your ship is safe))
06[14:34] * Faerzen_Norstov slowly pulls back
[14:34] <Faerzen_Norstov> So, shall we fly back to my house together?
[14:34] <Nick_Varnegs> sounds like a plan :)
06[14:34] * Faerzen_Norstov holds Nick´s hand and takes off for home
06[14:35] * Nick_Varnegs happily flies along faerzen
06[14:35] * Faerzen_Norstov touches down in his front lawn
[14:35] <Faerzen_Norstov> Are you still in possession of that flower?
06[14:36] * Nick_Varnegs shows the card to faerzen
[14:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> Excellent :)
[14:36] <Nick_Varnegs> i said i was going to keep it didn't i?
[14:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> I will hold on to these cards as well as a reminder
[14:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> Stay in touch, okay?
[14:36] <Faerzen_Norstov> I will do the same :)
[14:36] <Nick_Varnegs> :) i will
[14:37] <Nick_Varnegs> wait!... you never showed me the doors
[14:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> Okay, so I gathered from the recent memo that there are 8 people on the same team as us.
[14:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> Oh?
[14:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> I will send you a picture
[14:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> They really aren´t anything terribly remarkable
[14:37] <Faerzen_Norstov> Actually, they are quite exceptionally unremarkable
[14:37] <Nick_Varnegs> nonono, i want to see them
[14:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> It is rather infuriating :/
06[14:38] * Faerzen_Norstov rolls eyes
[14:38] <Nick_Varnegs> you can find even the most amazing things about mundane stuff
[14:38] <Faerzen_Norstov> Okay, they´re down here
06[14:38] * Faerzen_Norstov walks over to a spiral staircase leading down in the front yard
06[14:39] * Faerzen_Norstov leads Nick all the way down to the set of black and white double doors
[14:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> See?
[14:39] <Nick_Varnegs> hmmm...
[14:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> They almost seem to be made of cruxite, or a similar material
[14:39] <Nick_Varnegs> let me... sort of
[14:39] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have already tried picking the lock, breaking the doors, and investigating for hidden mechanisms
06[14:39] * Nick_Varnegs places his hand softly on the black side of the door
[14:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> What are you doing?
[14:40] <Nick_Varnegs> ... touching the door
[14:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well yes, I gathered that
[14:40] <Nick_Varnegs> its cold
[14:40] <Faerzen_Norstov> Are you..... suggesting
[14:41] <Faerzen_Norstov> Maybe.... if I place my hand here......
06[14:41] * Faerzen_Norstov places his hand on the white door
[14:41] <Nick_Varnegs> ... i dont think this is how any of this works but...
06[14:42] * Nick_Varnegs takes a deep breath
[14:42] <Nick_Varnegs> there's something... that just gives me a bad feeling about this door
[14:43] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, something terrible has been behind every single door I have encountered thus far
[14:43] <Faerzen_Norstov> So I cannot say I am surprised
[14:43] <Nick_Varnegs> no, this sensation is different
[14:44] <Nick_Varnegs> its like... when you know you cant prevent something
[14:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> I am not certain I follow
[14:45] <Nick_Varnegs> like watching a glass cup falling to the ground and its already past your grasp
[14:45] <Faerzen_Norstov> What does that have to do with this door?
[14:45] <Nick_Varnegs> it feels... like bad news and destiny
[14:46] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well that certainly isn´t what I was hoping to hear
[14:46] <Nick_Varnegs> neither was i
[14:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well, I will be certain to ask this book about what lies on the other side before I open it
[14:47] <Nick_Varnegs> ... lets go back up, i dont like this door
[14:47] <Faerzen_Norstov> Very well
06[14:47] * Faerzen_Norstov returns to surface
06[14:48] * Nick_Varnegs follows swiftly
[14:48] <Nick_Varnegs> i think... this is my last time?
[14:48] <Faerzen_Norstov> ((did AT tell you stuff about the door or was that for flavor?))
[14:48] <Nick_Varnegs> once again figuratively speaking
06[14:48] * Faerzen_Norstov sighs
[14:49] <Nick_Varnegs> ((flavor and nick being nick))
[14:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> From the recent memo, I gathered that there are 8 people on our team
[14:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> We should be arranged in a loop, so if you repetitively fly through the first gate of each land, you will return to your house
[14:49] <Nick_Varnegs> ok?
[14:49] <Faerzen_Norstov> As long as you do not get sidetracked
[14:50] <Nick_Varnegs> i wonder where the second one leads me
[14:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have met a couple of them, but most of the others from what I hear would not take kindly to a mysterious crow figure intruding on their lands
[14:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> So I would advise zipping through them as fast as you can to return home
[14:50] <Nick_Varnegs> i wont get sidetracked... there are no other faerzens are there?
[14:50] <Faerzen_Norstov> Especially so you get through before Byron returns home
[14:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> Jurgen fuck, I certainly hope there aren´t
[14:51] <Nick_Varnegs> i will tell you if that works
[14:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> Please do
[14:51] <Nick_Varnegs> :)
[14:51] <Faerzen_Norstov> I would steer clear of the second gates since we do not know their function
[14:51] <Nick_Varnegs> ...sometimes you just have to take... risks
[14:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> It may be tempting to explore, but I would just fly through each gate before anything has the chance to go wrong
[14:52] <Nick_Varnegs> if we dont try we'll never know
[14:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> I have a feeling
[14:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> That flying around like this is sort of.... cheating
[14:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> We will get to the second gates in time!
[14:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> But we are meant to build there
[14:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> And skipping to that point may unleash something we are not yet prepared for!
[14:52] <Faerzen_Norstov> But we will get there soon :)
[14:53] <Nick_Varnegs> well then
[14:53] <Nick_Varnegs> oh. i didnt want to mention it during our... goodbye, but your lips still taste like blood
06[14:54] * Faerzen_Norstov pulls up his left sleeve, revealing a large bite mark and a hole in his shirt
[14:54] <Nick_Varnegs> uhhh...
[14:54] <Faerzen_Norstov> That they do.
[14:54] <Nick_Varnegs> here, let me
06[14:55] * Nick_Varnegs takes faerzen's left arm and examines bitemark
[14:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> It appears when you have visions of tearing another to shreds, your subconscious makes to with the best alternative
[14:55] <Faerzen_Norstov> *makes do
06[14:56] * Faerzen_Norstov winces as Nick lifts his arm
[14:56] <Nick_Varnegs> ... i see what you mean
06[14:56] * Nick_Varnegs looks closely at the bitemarks
[14:56] <Nick_Varnegs> ... this will heal just fine, dont worry about then
[14:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thank you
[14:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> I´m sure it will work out okay, I just wish it hadn´t happened in the first place
06[14:57] * Nick_Varnegs kisses faerzen's arm and passes his tongue trought a small drip of blood
[14:57] <Faerzen_Norstov> Ummmm, Nick, I think it´s okay. I can go give it a proper cleaning in the bathroom
[14:58] <Nick_Varnegs> its... not cleaning
[14:58] <Nick_Varnegs> i know this may sound creepy but...
[14:58] <Nick_Varnegs> blood has a rather unique taste
[14:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> Ah.
06[14:59] * Faerzen_Norstov looks around awkwardly
[14:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well.....
[14:59] <Nick_Varnegs> ... its metallic... and warm and rusty... its just that... its special
06[14:59] * Nick_Varnegs lets go of faerzen's arm
[14:59] <Faerzen_Norstov> It´s okay, but I suppose I would ask that the blood you partake in not be mine.
[14:59] <Nick_Varnegs> sorry
[15:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> Hopefully there are not many instances where I will have it leaking everywhere to begin with
[15:00] <Nick_Varnegs> i promise
[15:00] <Nick_Varnegs> i will never take more than that
[15:00] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thank you
[15:00] <Nick_Varnegs> :| well... yeah
06[15:00] * Nick_Varnegs hugs faerzen once again
06[15:01] * Faerzen_Norstov lowers dress sleeve again to cover the self-inflicted wound
06[15:01] * Faerzen_Norstov returns embrace
[15:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> Okay, you goofball, you should probably get going now :)
[15:01] <Faerzen_Norstov> Thank you for visiting :)
[15:01] <Nick_Varnegs> <during your hug you notice once again the scratches on nick's back>
[15:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> And.......
[15:02] <Nick_Varnegs> ill come around sooner or later :)
06[15:02] * Faerzen_Norstov gently pokes the area near Nick´s scratches
[15:02] <Faerzen_Norstov> No more of this, okay?
[15:02] <Nick_Varnegs> and?
[15:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> At least, in such a violent manner.
06[15:03] * Nick_Varnegs shudders
[15:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> You don´t need to punish or hurt yourself, okay?
[15:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> If you ever feel like you need to do that again, just talk with me instead.
[15:03] <Faerzen_Norstov> I´ll do the same
[15:03] <Nick_Varnegs> ...
[15:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> No questions asked, no answers needed
[15:04] <Nick_Varnegs> ill... ill do?
06[15:04] * Nick_Varnegs stares awkwardly at faerzen
[15:04] <Faerzen_Norstov> I mean that if I am ever in a situation where I am lonely or where I may hurt myself, I will talk with you instead
[15:05] <Faerzen_Norstov> You shouldn´t feel like you need to resort to hurting yourself like that
[15:05] <Nick_Varnegs> :)
[15:05] <Nick_Varnegs> its just that...
[15:06] <Nick_Varnegs> i had no gentle tact for myself when i saw into the future
[15:06] <Faerzen_Norstov> What do you mean by that?
06[15:06] * Nick_Varnegs 's eyes lose focus for a second
[15:07] <Nick_Varnegs> i dont want to remember what will happen
[15:07] <Nick_Varnegs> i really dont
[15:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> You don´t need to
[15:07] <Faerzen_Norstov> Stop, don´t worry about it, okay?
06[15:08] * Faerzen_Norstov rubs his hand through Nick´s hair again
[15:08] <Nick_Varnegs> :)
[15:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> Just don´t hurt yourself
06[15:08] * Nick_Varnegs smiles at faerzen
06[15:08] * Faerzen_Norstov gestures to Nick´s back and Faerzen´s left arm
[15:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> We can both say that that doesn´t get us anywhere nice
[15:08] <Faerzen_Norstov> :)
[15:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> Are you ready now?
[15:09] <Nick_Varnegs> yes
[15:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> Well then.....
[15:09] <Nick_Varnegs> i have ny ragged pink clothing, my stuff and everything
[15:09] <Nick_Varnegs> i think im ready
[15:09] <Faerzen_Norstov> Then off you go on an adventure!
06[15:10] * Nick_Varnegs gently runs his hand trough faerzen's hair and prepares to take flight
06[15:11] * Faerzen_Norstov gently pats Nick´s lower back
[15:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> Up up and away!
[15:11] <Faerzen_Norstov> :)
06[15:11] * Nick_Varnegs rises and leaves but a few feathers in his place
[15:11] <Nick_Varnegs> ill be back
[15:11] <Nick_Varnegs> :)
06[15:12] * Nick_Varnegs leaves trought the first gate
06[15:13] * Faerzen_Norstov calls after Nick
[15:13] <Faerzen_Norstov> I´ll have this box with me so I remember!
06[15:13] * Faerzen_Norstov waits until Nick leaves and pulls out the box
06[15:14] * Faerzen_Norstov walks inside to the kitchen and reaches down to pick up the missing card
[15:14] <Faerzen_Norstov> JUDGEMENT
06[15:14] * Faerzen_Norstov takes the card and sticks it to the cover of the box with a small piece of tape
06[15:14] * Faerzen_Norstov places the box on his desk next to his bed
[15:14] <Nick_Varnegs> you realize there's a small drop of blood in the back of the card
06[15:15] * Faerzen_Norstov mumbles to himself
[15:15] <Faerzen_Norstov> so I remember........
06[15:15] * Faerzen_Norstov lingers, staring at the Judgement card next to his bed, and slowly turns and leaves the room
