[20:50] <Strategist14> Giant Snake Fun Time appears to be right now.
[20:51]  * Kai_River staggers back a bit, slightly terrified.

[21:05] <Strategist14> End turn
[21:06] <Kai_River> Being surrounded at all angles by a snake gives me an idea.
[21:06] <Kai_River> I press the red button and force-eject my sylladex.

[21:07] <Kai_River> (wow)

[21:08] <`DICE> Strategist14 rolled 2d8 T2 grist [ 2d8=5 ]{5}
[21:08] <Strategist14> T3*
[21:09]  * Kai_River gathers the grist silently.
[21:09] <Strategist14> The elder gapes
[21:10] <Kai_River> "Was that the colossus you were scared of?"
[21:10] <Strategist14> Elder: "That... was a basilisk.
[21:10] <Strategist14> "
[21:11] <Kai_River> "Is that a no?"
[21:11] <Strategist14> "Not quite the same thing."
[21:11] <Kai_River> "Alright."
[21:12] <Strategist14> You proceed out of the cave with no further interruptions.
[21:13] <Kai_River> (Can I just walk home without spending 5 posts saying I take ten to walk?)
[21:13] <Strategist14> ((Eeyup))
[21:13] <Strategist14> You go home
[21:13] <Strategist14> Slowly
[21:13] <Kai_River> Immediately upon arriving home, I alchemize the wings using the code Terese sent me.
[21:13] <Kai_River> (is this a thing I can do?)
[21:13] <Kai_River> (I have the grist that was required)
[21:13] <Strategist14> ((Go for it))
[21:14] <Kai_River> I take my remaining card, and put it in the desk thing, inputting the code Terese sent me.
[21:15] <Kai_River> Then gather the cruxite from the empty room, bring them both to the alchemiter, and turn it on.
[21:16] <Strategist14> You are met with a ring of dull copper
[21:16] <Strategist14> It could probably be construed as a halo?
[21:16] <Kai_River> I attempt to put it on my head.
[21:16] <Strategist14> The halo lights up, and a pair of white feathered wings bloom out of your back
[21:17] <Kai_River> "Finally."
[21:17] <Kai_River> I attempt to float a few feet off the floor.
[21:17] <Strategist14> You succeed
[21:18] <Kai_River> I return to the floor and captchalogue the halo.
[21:18] <Kai_River> "Siri."
[21:18] <Kai_River> "Which is more important, going through the gates, or exploring the land?"
[21:18] <Strategist14> Siri: "The gates are your access to certain parts of your land."
[21:19] <Kai_River> "Terese mentioned that the second gate sends me to another player's land."
[21:19] <Kai_River> "Is this true?"
[21:20] <Strategist14> "Yes."
[21:20] <Kai_River> "Should I go there first, or explore my land?"
[21:21] <Strategist14> "If you proceed through, you can explore the other land to nearly the same effectiveness."
[21:21] <Kai_River> "Then where does it end?"
[21:21] <Kai_River> "What's the point of exploring?"
[21:21] <Kai_River> "What do I get?"
[21:22] <Strategist14> "Grist.  Artifacts.  Experience."
[21:22] <Kai_River> "And then what?"
[21:23] <Kai_River> "I never liked MMOs."
[21:23] <Kai_River> "I felt like games needed an end."
[21:24] <Strategist14> "And then you defeat the forces of Derse."
[21:24] <Kai_River> "And rescue my mother?"
[21:24] <Kai_River> "Then do I get to go home?"
[21:25] <Strategist14> "Excuse me?"
[21:25] <Kai_River> "When do I get to go home?"
[21:26] <Strategist14> "You are currently inside your house."
[21:26] <Kai_River> "I mean to Earth."
[21:27] <Strategist14> "The earth is gone."
[21:27] <Kai_River> "Then what's the point?"
[21:27] <Kai_River> "Why do I defeat Derse?"
[21:27] <Kai_River> "What's my motivation?"
[21:28] <Kai_River> "I just want my mother, then I'm done."
[21:28] <Strategist14> "Done what?"
[21:29] <Kai_River> "Playing."
[21:31] <Strategist14> "Then what will you do?"
[21:31] <Kai_River> "That's what I want to know."
[21:31] <Kai_River> "After I rescue my mother, I have no more motivation."
[21:31] <Kai_River> "Why do I need to defeat Derse?"
[21:32] <Strategist14> "To stop the universe from ending."
[21:32] <Kai_River> "Explain."
[21:33] <Strategist14> "Derse is opposed to the success of the game."
[21:33] <Kai_River> "What do you mean the success of the game?"
[21:34] <Kai_River> "You said the goal was to make a universe."
[21:34] <Kai_River> "Except, I'm apparently not the one who's supposed to do that."
[21:34] <Strategist14> "That would be the Space player's objective, yes."
[21:35] <Kai_River> "What do you mean space player?"
[21:36] <Kai_River> (can we pause for like, 15 mins so I can shower?)
[21:37] <Strategist14> ((Eeyup))
[21:37] <Kai_River> (ty, brb)
[21:51] <Kai_River> (back)
[21:53] <Kai_River> "What is a Space player, and who is it supposed to be?"
[21:57] <Strategist14> "Iinito Ufanir."
[21:57] <Kai_River> "That's one of the questions."
[21:57] <Kai_River> "What does it mean?"
[21:58] <Strategist14> "It means he is the one to breed the universe."
[21:59] <Kai_River> "Oh, well that's not a scary thought at all."
[21:59] <Kai_River> "I've always wanted the person who threatens children for money to breed a universe."
[21:59] <Strategist14> "Why would you want that?"
[22:00] <Kai_River> "It was sarcasm."
[22:00] <Kai_River> "I'm sure you could have googled that."
[22:00] <Kai_River> "Why is he the space player?"
[22:00] <Strategist14> "He was most suited."
[22:00] <Kai_River> "How so?
[22:01] <Strategist14> Siri doesn't respond
[22:01] <Kai_River> "Are there other kinds of players?"
[22:01] <Strategist14> "Yes."
[22:01] <Kai_River> "Like what?"
[22:02] <Kai_River> "Do we all have one?"
[22:02] <Strategist14> "Time.  Hope.  Doom.  Yes."
[22:02] <Kai_River> "What am I?"
[22:13] <Strategist14> "Mind."
[22:14] <Kai_River> What is everyone else?
[22:15] <Strategist14> "Breath, Doom, Void, Hope, Time, Rage, Light, Blood."
[22:15] <Kai_River> "Who has what?"
[22:17] <Strategist14> Siri goes silent again
[22:17] <Kai_River> "Well?"
[22:18] <Strategist14> "..."
[22:19] <Kai_River> "Is there anything else I should know about these kinds of players?"
[22:19] <Strategist14> "No."
[22:20] <Kai_River> "Alright."
[22:20] <Kai_River> "I would still like to know who is what kind of player."
[22:21] <Kai_River> "So, if you ever feel like you want to tell me, that would be appreciated."
[22:21] <Strategist14> "I do not have information about other players."
[22:22] <Kai_River> "What about Iinito?"
[22:22] <Kai_River> "You knew about him."
[22:24] <Strategist14> "I do not have information about other players."  Siri repeats, more forcefully this time.
[22:24] <Kai_River> "Except for Iinito, apparently."
[22:25] <Strategist14> "..."
[22:26] <Kai_River> "..."
[22:26] <Kai_River> "Why can you tell me some things and not others?"
[22:27] <Strategist14> "There are limitations."
[22:27] <Strategist14> "Riddles, data formatted in ways that I cannot read."
[22:27] <Kai_River> "Earlier you said that you didn't remember who's job it was to create the universe."
[22:27] <Strategist14> "I do not have information about other players."
[22:27] <Kai_River> "Does that mean you deciphered the information over time?"
[22:27] <Strategist14> "No."
[22:28] <Kai_River> "Then how did you remember?"
[22:28] <Strategist14> "I did not."
[22:28] <Kai_River> "Then how do you know that Iinito is apparently supposed to create the universe?"
[22:28] <Strategist14> "The information was always there."
[22:28] <Strategist14> "Different keywords."
[22:29] <Kai_River> "What keywords are there?"
[22:30] <Strategist14> Siri starts spewing a staticky noise
[22:31] <Kai_River> "Ok, ok."
[22:31] <Kai_River> "I regret asking."
[22:32] <Kai_River> "Are there any other keywords that you've already deciphered?"
[22:34] <Strategist14> "No."
[22:36] <Kai_River> "Then I thank you for your information."
