- -- restlessPipes [RP] began trolling recreantOctopus [RO] at 23:44 --
- -- restlessPipes [RP] is floating listlessly around as usual. When he nears Cirrin's hive he decides to enter. He doesn't bother to knock as he opens the door. --
- -- recreantOctopus [RO] sits in his hive on a crate watching a pirated movie about pirates. He thinks he heard a sound, a door perhaps. He turns off the lights to make any intruders think he's not at home --
- -- restlessPipes [RP] looks aruond and spots Cirrin. He doesn't say anything--he simply starts to slowly float toward him. --
- -- recreantOctopus [RO] blinks. Is he seeing things here? He backs off very quickly, towards one of his secret exits --
- RO: Ran Ranigi?
- -- restlessPipes [RP] stays stationary, staring at him in the unsettingly dead way that ghosts do. --
- RP: }{ell0, Cirrin Runfar.
- -- recreantOctopus [RO] slowly pushes a way the crates covering a hole in the floor --
- RO: you your a ghost!
- RP: Yes.
- RP: I am.
- RP: Is t}{at s0 surprising?
- RO: yes!
- RO: it means your dead
- RO: and dead things usually stay dead
- RP: 0}{.
- RP: Well.
- RP: I am still dead.
- RP: I am merely in a different state 0f dead.
- RO: CIRRIN RUNFARs heard of stuff like this
- RO: what do you want with CIRRIN RUNFAR spirit?
- -- restlessPipes [RP] tilts his head. --
- RP: C0me again?
- RO: when ghosts come back
- RO: they
- RO: they usualy have a reason!
- RO: a spooky reason!
- RP: 0}{.
- RP: Well, rest assured t}{at my reas0ns are n0t sp00ky.
- RP: T}{ey are...
- RP: }{mm.
- RP: Per}{aps t}{ey are sp00ky.
- RO: see!
- RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR doesnt want to mess with anything... unnatural
- RP: I d0 n0t t}{ink I am unnatural.
- RO: but ghost!
- RO: glowing eyes!
- RO: billowing cape!
- -- recreantOctopus [RO] waves his hands about in the air --
- RO: and your dead!
- RP: Yes.
- RP: I am.
- RP: But g}{0sts are c0mm0n up0n 0ur w0rld, are t}{ey n0t?
- RO: so are mutants and a lot of other unnatural shit
- RP: 0}{. I t}{ink I understand t}{is n0w.
- RP: Y0u are afraid 0f me.
- RO: yes
- RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR is afraid of you
- -- restlessPipes [RP] stops floating and lands. --
- RP: Is t}{is less frig}{tening?
- RO: a little...
- RO: your still a dead dead ghost though!
- RP: Yes?
- RP: And y0ur p0int is?
- RP: I will n0t }{arm y0u.
- RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR doesnt want you to be dead
- RP: T}{at is a nice wis}{. Unf0rtunately, it cann0t be.
- RP: F0r n0w, I will remain dead.
- RO: why did you get yourself killed how?
- RP: I did n0t want t0 be killed. I d0ubt t}{at many tr0lls w0uld want a deat}{ sentence.
- RO: it was your mad ideas of justice and honor wasnt it?
- RP: Yes. Y0u c0uld say.
- RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR knew it should have told you
- RO: well more than CIRRIN RUNFAR already did
- RP: It is all rig}{t.
- RP: T}{ere is n0 need t0 t0rment y0urself. I am quite 0kay wit}{ being dead.
- RO: well who cares about what you think your a dead ghost CIRRIN RUNFARs not okay with it
- RP: T}{at is true. My 0pini0n d0es n0t matter n0w t}{at I am dead.
- RP: I am s0rry. If my presence disturbs y0u, I s}{all leave.
- RO: begone spirit and trouble CIRRIN RUNFAR no more!
- RP: I cann0t.
- RP: I cann0t c0ntr0l my g}{0stly w}{ims.
- -- recreantOctopus [RO] runs across the room and digs something out. He brandishes a bulb of garlic --
- RO: aha!
- -- restlessPipes [RP] 0_0 --
- -- restlessPipes [RP] stares at the garlic. --
- -- recreantOctopus [RO] slowly lowers it looking disapointed --
- RO: that doesnt work does it?
- RP: I d0 n0t t}{ink s0. I d0n't feel my g}{0stly p0wers sapping away.
- RO: well stick around
- RO: tell CIRRIN RUNFAR what you think justice would be now
- RP: Justice f0r?
- RO: you?
- RP: Me?
- RP: W}{y?
- RO: humour CIRRIN RUNFAR
- RP: But I d0n't care ab0ut avenging myself.
- RO: still
- RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR wants to know what you think would be justice
- RP: }{mm.
- RP: Are y0u planning 0n d0ing s0met}{ing ras}{, Cirrin Runfar?
- -- recreantOctopus [RO] laughs hollowly --
- RO: no probably not even if you were alive
- RO: justice wont happen
- RP: Y0u seem... embittered.
- RP: I supp0se, if I was still alive, I w0uld g0 after my killer.
- RP: But t}{at w0uld be revenge. N0t justice.
- RO: and so what would be justice?
- RP: ... I am n0t sure.
- RP: I will admit t}{at it b0t}{ers me. N0t kn0wing, t}{at is.
- -- recreantOctopus [RO] laughs --
- RO: maybe it really isnt real after all
- -- restlessPipes [RP] doesn't seem miffed by the laugh. --
- RP: I disagree.
- RO: perhaps you can find out with your ghost powers
- RP: I already kn0w.
- RP: I am Justice. I am t0 pers0nify and aid Justice.
- RP: It is my r0le.
- RO: well CIRRIN RUNFAR doesnt care about that
- RO: sorry
- RP: 0}{.
- RP: T}{en w}{y w0uld y0u ask?
- RO: well
- RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR doesnt know
- RO: because you cared about that
- RP: I see.
- RP: I am s0rry, t}{en, f0r dying.
- RP: It seems t0 }{ave upset y0u.
- RO: a little
- RP: I am s0rry again. But I will }{ave t}{e c}{ance t0 be un-dead, per}{aps.
- RP: If t}{at c0mf0rts y0u at all.
- RO: why would you dangle that sort of false hope why?
- RO: its not like Kateia
- RO: your actual dead self is right here
- -- restlessPipes [RP] 0_0 --
- RP: I am n0t trying t0 dangle false }{0pes. I am speaking t}{e trut}{.
- RO: liar!
- RP: I am n0t lying.
- RP: I w0uld n0t lie t0 y0u.
- RO: just like your justice
- RO: lies lies liar
- RP: But I am n0t lying.
- RP: W}{y are y0u s0 }{0stile t0 t}{e idea?
- RP: D0n't y0u want me alive?
- RO: yes!
- RP: T}{en w}{y d0 y0u react s0 vi0lently w}{en I tell y0u t}{at I may be alive in t}{e future?
- RO: because because that sort of stuff doesnt happen
- RP: It will.
- RP: I am certain.
- RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR doesnt believe you your a ghost what would you know?
- RP: Many t}{ings }{ave been made clear t0 me n0w t}{at I am a g}{0st.
- RP: W0uld y0u like me t0 dem0nstrate?
- RO: very well
- -- restlessPipes [RP] demonstrates by telling a tidbit kept between Cirrin and Kateia. --
- -- recreantOctopus's [RO'S] face drains --
- RO: you you really do get this knowledge from beyond the grave
- RP: Yes.
- RP: I }{ave been telling y0u t}{at.
- RP: Repeatedly.
- RO: oh
- RP: S0 y0u believe me n0w.
- RO: maybe
- RO: if a ghost said it it must be true
- RP: Yes. W}{ic}{ is w}{y I suggest t}{at y0u listen t0 me w}{en I tell y0u 0f t}{ings.
- RP: But I d0 n0t care if y0u listen 0r n0t.
- RO: then what else do you have to say?
- RP: N0t}{ing else.
- RP: I merely came t0 see y0u.
- RO: oh well
- RO: that ws nice of you
- RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR doesnt know what else to say
- RP: I t}{0ug}{t y0u w0uld be }{appy.
- RO: no because your dead and your reminding CIRRIN RUNFAR that your dead
- RP: 0}{.
- RP: But I prefer t}{is dead t0 t}{e 0t}{er dead.
- RP: It is muc}{ easier t0 c0mmunicate.
- RO: ha ha
- RO: you know you should probably talk to Kateia sometime
- RP: S}{e w0uld enj0y speaking t0 a g}{0st, w0uldn't s}{e?
- RO: yeah she would
- RP: I }{0pe y0u will adjust as well, Cirrin Runfar.
- RO: its weird
- RO: weird and strange
- RP: W}{en y0u are exp0sed t0 s0met}{ing frequently it bec0mes t}{e n0rm.
- -- recreantOctopus [RO] sighs --
- RO: thats true
- RP: It is strange. Y0u are regretful, muc}{ like Pal0ma was.
- RO: that must be in completly ways then
- RO: that must be in completly different ways then
- RP: }{0w s0?
- RO: well CIRRIN RUNFAR regrets this because you were one of CIRRIN RUNFARs few remaining friends and now
- RO: and now being a ghost isnt the same at all
- -- restlessPipes [RP] is now an idle chum! --
- RP: I am still y0ur friend.
- RP: And I am still me.
- RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR cant accept that yet
- RP: ... I am 0kay wit}{ t}{at.
- RP: I must be, I supp0se, since I am dead.
- RO: see thats thats the sort of thing CIRRIN RUNFARs talking about
- RP: Pard0n?
- RO: this acceptance thing
- RP: I am dead. It is t0 be expected.
- -- recreantOctopus [RO] sighs --
- RO: fine that does make sense
- RO: it feels like surrender to CIRRIN RUNFAR
- RO: which is a little death
- RP: I am 0nly surrendering temp0rarily, Cirrin.
- RO: so you said
- RP: I mean w}{at I say still.
- RO: when your back then things will be 0kay
- RP: But I am back.
- RO: but your not!
- RP: Per}{aps I am less ent}{usiastic t}{an I was w}{en I was alive.
- RP: But I am still me.
- RO: but your a ghost!
- RO: and your dead!
- RO: and this doesnt make sense!
- RO: were going around in circles here!
- -- restlessPipes [RP] tilts his head. --
- RP: Yes. We are.
- RO: why dont you ghost off somewhere and leave CIRRIN RUNFAR in peace?
- RP: Very well.
- RP: I will visit y0u an0t}{er time, Cirrin Runfar.
- RO: another haunting!
- RP: I cann0t }{elp it.
- RP: We are b0und by fate.
- RO: ...
- RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR might be more prepared for that next time
- RP: Y0u mean t0 c}{ase me away?
- RO: no
- RO: thats not what CIRRIN RUNFAR meant there
- RP: I w0uld understand if y0u d0 n0t wis}{ t0 see me again.
- RO: no CIRRIN RUNFAR doesnt want to see you like this theres a difference
- RP: It is all rig}{t.
- RP: Despite }{0w y0u may feel, I am b0und t0 visit y0u again in t}{e future.
- RP: Y0u will see me again, unf0rtunately.
- RP: Farewell, Cirrin Runfar.
- RO: ...
- RO: see you again Ranigi
- -- restlessPipes [RP] floats away. --
- -- recreantOctopus [RO] quickly shuts the door after him, as if that would do anything --
- -- restlessPipes [RP] absconded from recreantOctopus [RO] at 02:46 --
