(7:11:28 PM) genesisArtificer [[email protected]] entered the room.
(7:11:37 PM) genesisArtificer: Yess?
(7:11:49 PM) tenaciousTheseus: So
(7:12:03 PM) lucidChthonia: Basically
(7:12:08 PM) lucidChthonia: It's Lucid's turn to be rescued todaaaaaaaaaaay
(7:12:19 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Awesome
(7:12:28 PM) ventricularPipefitter: yep
(7:12:32 PM) lucidChthonia: So
(7:12:47 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Dawn is totes ready
(7:12:48 PM) lucidChthonia: It's been two or three in-game days since Lucid actually disappeared
(7:13:06 PM) tenaciousTheseus: So
(7:13:10 PM) tenaciousTheseus: How's it going to go down?
(7:13:23 PM) lucidChthonia: That's what we're going to figure out right now
(7:14:11 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Mmkay
(7:14:32 PM) genesisArtificer: So
(7:14:43 PM) genesisArtificer: We all know that Lusina cannot scry for her
(7:14:49 PM) tenaciousTheseus: We are saying "so" a lot
(7:15:14 PM) genesisArtificer: She is a Maid dammit, she was a Sage or Seer she would find her and also so is a keyword
(7:16:11 PM) lucidChthonia: Right.
(7:16:13 PM) lucidChthonia: At some point
(7:16:35 PM) lucidChthonia: How does Lucid let her guard down enough to be found, and/or crater her ARC to the point where the Strife no longer protects her?
(7:16:55 PM) lucidChthonia: We could always go for "starved and/or ran out of water"
(7:17:11 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Always good
(7:17:12 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Hmm
(7:17:15 PM) genesisArtificer: Aelf fainted!
(7:17:23 PM) genesisArtificer: She is unable to fight :T
(7:17:26 PM) ventricularPipefitter: ran out of water I like.
(7:17:28 PM) lucidChthonia: ...
(7:17:32 PM) ***lucidChthonia pap genart
(7:18:15 PM) lucidChthonia: Ran out of water it is then.
(7:18:26 PM) tenaciousTheseus: K
(7:18:42 PM) lucidChthonia: I assume she's staying out on the sight on the Moons, she knows the trick, probably ducked into a dwelling on Derse and "borrowed" a bed somewhere
(7:19:15 PM) ventricularPipefitter: not a bad idea.
(7:19:44 PM) genesisArtificer: Yep
(7:19:53 PM) genesisArtificer: Another thing why Lu is unable to track her
(7:20:06 PM) genesisArtificer: Utimately Adam finds her
(7:20:09 PM) genesisArtificer: Dream Adam, that is
(7:20:23 PM) lucidChthonia: Interesting idea.
(7:20:27 PM) lucidChthonia: How do they find her waking self?
(7:20:48 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Adam wakes her up, her realself falls asleep?
(7:21:07 PM) lucidChthonia: Possible
(7:21:15 PM) lucidChthonia: And then it is possible to find her realself
(7:21:27 PM) genesisArtificer: Mhm
(7:21:39 PM) genesisArtificer: Lu actually suggested doing exactly that thing
(7:21:53 PM) lucidChthonia: Reasonable!
(7:21:55 PM) lucidChthonia: So
(7:21:58 PM) lucidChthonia: What happens after they find her
(7:22:30 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Dawn does the Heartfelt thing
(7:22:37 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Shiny manip
(7:22:55 PM) genesisArtificer: Rather "Shiny diagnosis" more
(7:23:04 PM) ventricularPipefitter: yeah
(7:23:08 PM) lucidChthonia: Possibly takes pictures and sends them over to Ross in real time
(7:23:11 PM) ventricularPipefitter: it's way too early for soulfingers.
(7:23:12 PM) lucidChthonia: So he can see what is going on
(7:23:12 PM) genesisArtificer: Like, "ok, now what is really wrong with you, Lucid"
(7:23:40 PM) lucidChthonia: Soulfingers aren't a thing yet, but Ross might be able to work with pictures to at least figure out the rudiments of what's gone wrong
(7:23:55 PM) lucidChthonia: and Dawn is just like "okay not seeing it yet I'm sure this'll come with time and questlines"?
(7:24:37 PM) genesisArtificer: I am going to say yes
(7:24:53 PM) genesisArtificer: Then, dumping Heart and Rhyme psybuffs like there is no tommorow
(7:25:05 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Yup
(7:25:07 PM) genesisArtificer: And making UU with her
(7:25:24 PM) lucidChthonia: Lucid figures out how /exactly/ to point the Rejection towards someplace it won't interfere with buffs
(7:25:35 PM) lucidChthonia: And then they go questing
(7:25:40 PM) ventricularPipefitter: yeah
(7:25:44 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Sure
(7:25:46 PM) ventricularPipefitter: pointing the rejectin somewhere will take a while.
(7:25:46 PM) lucidChthonia: and it becomes immediately obvious she cut out three good months of her normal story
(7:25:53 PM) lucidChthonia: Yeah.
(7:25:55 PM) lucidChthonia: Well
(7:26:01 PM) lucidChthonia: We don't have to do the buffs immediately
(7:26:01 PM) ventricularPipefitter: the denizen's awake and has words, probably.
(7:26:06 PM) lucidChthonia: Just /knowing/ what is on is enough
(7:26:09 PM) lucidChthonia: Huh.
(7:26:17 PM) lucidChthonia: Let me decide on a denizen for a moment
(7:26:19 PM) ventricularPipefitter: buffs I figure are still...being rejected.
(7:26:32 PM) genesisArtificer: they need big upkeep
(7:26:36 PM) lucidChthonia: Well
(7:26:37 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Feel free to wait on denizen, I just think she or he could be an interesting element
(7:26:41 PM) lucidChthonia: Buffs slide off at the slightest provocation
(7:26:47 PM) lucidChthonia: But if she can keep it up it makes feel better
(7:26:47 PM) genesisArtificer: like, you need to concentrate to make them stick
(7:27:02 PM) genesisArtificer: Also, note that Hope has psybuffs on it own
(7:27:06 PM) genesisArtificer: ...
(7:27:13 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Yeah, it has like
(7:27:15 PM) genesisArtificer: Aelf rejecting Knight Syndrome
(7:27:17 PM) tenaciousTheseus: The best psybuffs
(7:27:21 PM) genesisArtificer: it can happen
(7:27:29 PM) lucidChthonia: Heh
(7:27:42 PM) genesisArtificer: It is well within purview of Hope
(7:27:44 PM) lucidChthonia: She might actually figure out how to freestyle-reject the fact that the psybuffs are supposed to go on others
(7:27:54 PM) lucidChthonia: also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elpis
(7:28:03 PM) genesisArtificer: Not really, you can psybuff yourself
(7:28:05 PM) genesisArtificer: And yes..
(7:28:16 PM) genesisArtificer: Elpis is definetely Lucid's Denizen here
(7:28:45 PM) ventricularPipefitter: oh?
(7:28:47 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter clicks
(7:29:02 PM) genesisArtificer: Elpis is the last evil in the box
(7:29:17 PM) genesisArtificer: Note that Hope is extension of suffering in greek mythology
(7:29:26 PM) genesisArtificer: It will work
(7:29:34 PM) lucidChthonia: Well
(7:29:39 PM) lucidChthonia: Normally Hope rejects psybuffs!
(7:29:40 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Hmm
(7:29:47 PM) ventricularPipefitter: ohhh
(7:29:51 PM) lucidChthonia: But once she gets some ARC going she might be able to reject the fact that it rejects psybuffs
(7:29:55 PM) genesisArtificer: Hope rejects many things
(7:30:00 PM) lucidChthonia: It's kind of hilarious and recursive but she's got the brain to make it work
(7:30:09 PM) genesisArtificer: (like Breath-destruction of your own blood color)
(7:30:22 PM) lucidChthonia: It'll clearly be touch-and-go for a while
(7:30:46 PM) lucidChthonia: And everyone might have to repeatedly recast if her control slips
(7:30:59 PM) lucidChthonia: At /least/ until the soulfingers girl can get something more permanent set up.
(7:31:12 PM) lucidChthonia: But, you know
(7:31:22 PM) lucidChthonia: Lucid has the /will/ to live, and that's... counts for a hell of a lot here
(7:31:27 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Yeah
(7:32:00 PM) lucidChthonia: She's going to whine about it and hate herself and be needy, and that's going to last for the entire session because maturity didn't happen, but she will live.
(7:32:17 PM) genesisArtificer: I think that Soulfingers could a) pull the Knight Syndrome from her soul and b) make psybuffs stick
(7:32:30 PM) ventricularPipefitter: honestly,
(7:32:34 PM) lucidChthonia: Well, thing is
(7:32:36 PM) ventricularPipefitter: playing the session sans maturity
(7:32:37 PM) lucidChthonia: KS has /grown/ into her
(7:32:39 PM) ventricularPipefitter: in a weird way
(7:32:49 PM) ventricularPipefitter: will probably help her, you know, actually grow up
(7:32:51 PM) lucidChthonia: It's going to need to get unstuck from under parts of her self-concept, and stuff
(7:32:55 PM) lucidChthonia: Yeah.
(7:33:04 PM) lucidChthonia: The old-fashioned way.
(7:33:10 PM) lucidChthonia: The way that doesn't get taken away between sessions.
(7:33:20 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Maybe that'll stick
(7:33:24 PM) lucidChthonia: Mmmm.
(7:33:27 PM) lucidChthonia: Well, specifically
(7:33:34 PM) lucidChthonia: It's not as simple as "pull the knight syndrome"
(7:33:57 PM) lucidChthonia: have you ever tried to clean dirt out of something with a lot of crevices that's been buried for a long time?
(7:33:59 PM) lucidChthonia: It's kind of like that
(7:34:21 PM) lucidChthonia: There will be permanent staining and some parts will be difficult to reach and some of them you'll mistake the dirt for a gemstone or vice versa
(7:35:00 PM) lucidChthonia: She'll be able to take over the rest from there once she's got the majority of the work done, though.
(7:36:50 PM) lucidChthonia: I mean she didn't write an entire guide on psychological theory for nothing.
(7:37:07 PM) genesisArtificer: yep
(7:37:49 PM) lucidChthonia: So.
(7:37:58 PM) lucidChthonia: Should we start logging and does it need to be in main?
(7:38:07 PM) genesisArtificer: ok
(7:38:13 PM) genesisArtificer is now known as diceEqualizer
(7:39:40 PM) ventricularPipefitter: I'm...not quite ready to start
(7:39:54 PM) diceEqualizer: ... tbh
(7:39:54 PM) ventricularPipefitter: short break for dinner on my part, now/soon?
(7:39:59 PM) diceEqualizer: me neither
(7:40:14 PM) diceEqualizer: sigh
(7:40:19 PM) lucidChthonia: Well
(7:40:23 PM) lucidChthonia: Give it a half an hour or an hour or so
(7:40:25 PM) ***diceEqualizer stares in the floor
(7:40:33 PM) lucidChthonia: Are you okay?
(7:40:42 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter pats. :?
(7:41:37 PM) diceEqualizer: dunno if I wont faint in the middle :P
(7:41:49 PM) diceEqualizer: ( 1:40 AM here )
(7:41:51 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Should we start soon, then?
(7:41:53 PM) lucidChthonia: Oh.
(7:41:58 PM) lucidChthonia: Well
(7:42:00 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Or do you need to bow out?
(7:42:02 PM) lucidChthonia: We can get the first part done
(7:42:08 PM) lucidChthonia: the one where she can be /found/
(7:42:10 PM) lucidChthonia: Then you can go bed
(7:42:11 PM) diceEqualizer left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(7:42:23 PM) lucidChthonia: I... guess that answers that question then!
(7:42:26 PM) lucidChthonia: Shall we go on anyway?
(7:42:30 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Internets?
(7:42:35 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Hmm
(7:42:41 PM) lucidChthonia: I doubt it
(7:42:45 PM) lucidChthonia: Too convenient the timing
(7:42:46 PM) gaugh [[email protected]] entered the room.
(7:42:50 PM) lucidChthonia: Ah.

(7:43:51 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Sigh
(7:43:55 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Sounds good.
(7:43:57 PM) lucidChthonia: Well
(7:44:03 PM) lucidChthonia: The plot could be just as well without DE
(7:44:14 PM) lucidChthonia: She'd just have to be told later
(7:44:42 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Let me.
(7:44:52 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Just let me feed myself
(7:44:55 PM) ventricularPipefitter: and we'll get started
(7:45:01 PM) ventricularPipefitter: and DE can bow out when needed
(7:45:22 PM) lucidChthonia: ok
(7:52:17 PM) tenaciousTheseus: So are we doing this in the main chat or what?
(7:52:25 PM) lucidChthonia: Well
(7:52:29 PM) lucidChthonia: Once Zu's done eating
(7:52:47 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Mmkay
(7:52:57 PM) tenaciousTheseus: I'll put Adam to sleep now, then
(7:53:27 PM) ventricularPipefitter: THat'll do.
(8:02:34 PM) You are now known as pastVentricularPipefitter
(8:02:54 PM) You are now known as Zuki
(8:03:01 PM) lucidChthonia: So.
(8:03:05 PM) lucidChthonia: Want to do it now or soon?
(8:03:49 PM) Zuki: I'm eating my soup now
(8:03:55 PM) Zuki: you guys cna start, if you don't need dawn yet
(8:03:57 PM) Zuki: let's do it in here
(8:04:12 PM) lucidChthonia: Sure
(8:04:23 PM) lucidChthonia: [Now ICly.]
(8:04:32 PM) tenaciousTheseus: [Adam: Dream]
(8:04:53 PM) tenaciousTheseus: [Adam: Wake up on Derse]
(8:05:17 PM) ***tenaciousTheseus yawns
(8:05:18 PM) lucidChthonia: You explore the streets of Derse, the way you have before, in a methodical pattern.
(8:05:27 PM) lucidChthonia: ((oh whoops brackets))
(8:05:35 PM) tenaciousTheseus: "Dammit, Aelf"

(8:09:58 PM) tenaciousTheseus: "So"
(8:10:18 PM) tenaciousTheseus: "Your /realself/ should be asleep"
(8:10:29 PM) tenaciousTheseus: [Adam: Take off]
(8:10:45 PM) lucidChthonia: [> Lucid: Still not fully awake. But barely doze.]

(8:12:59 PM) tenaciousTheseus: [Adam: Message Dawn]
(8:13:04 PM) tenaciousTheseus: I found her on Derse!
(8:13:06 PM) tenaciousTheseus: I woke her up
(8:13:09 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Go to her land
(8:13:17 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Quickly
(8:14:29 PM) ontologyExpunged: Already there.
(8:14:41 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Where is she
(8:14:49 PM) tenaciousTheseus: [Adam: Arrive]
(8:14:51 PM) lucidChthonia: [Lucid's realself is close to the third-gate area of the planet, splayed out on the ground awkwardly, wire in one hand and unfinished map in the other.]
(8:14:58 PM) ontologyExpunged: Not sure yet.
(8:16:01 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Try scrying again
(8:16:07 PM) tenaciousTheseus: This time it could work
(8:16:25 PM) ontologyExpunged: [ Dawn has been, as best she is able, tracking Lucid by word-of-mouth from consorts. She's been journeying overland. ]
(8:16:28 PM) ontologyExpunged: Unconscious, good point.
(8:16:32 PM) tenaciousTheseus: ((Wait shit ignore))
(8:16:37 PM) ontologyExpunged: (( ignore? ))
(8:16:43 PM) tenaciousTheseus: ((Or do Hearts have scrying abilities?))

(10:22:17 PM) diceEqualizer: ((and here and now, GA had fainted ))
(10:22:23 PM) ontologyExpunged: (( no worries.))
(10:22:28 PM) ontologyExpunged: (( scene is about to end *hugs* ))
(10:22:53 PM) diceEqualizer: (( You can continue if you like. Lu is just going to enjoy cookies and tea, and indulge in smalltalk ))
(10:23:25 PM) ontologyExpunged: [ She sets them down on the table, and hits a button on her left-behind laptop. A projection appears on the wall. "I was mapping our Magicant when the crisis hit. This is what I've got so far. We've got the Clock Room interestingly enough..."
(10:23:26 PM) diceEqualizer: ((Kinda glad that we wrapped the interesting part :3))
(10:24:07 PM) ontologyExpunged: (( it's neat to see Aelf want to pry, Adam curious but willing to let it drop,and Lu wants to make people comfortable. ))

(10:28:31 PM) ontologyExpunged: (( How does Dawn come off? ))
(10:28:51 PM) ontologyExpunged: (( She's still a little flat to me. Or...not fully developed. ))
(10:28:57 PM) cygnicAsclepius: ((Slightly odd))
(10:29:08 PM) lucidChthonia: ((She's... more comfortable with game abstractions than with people.))
(10:29:16 PM) cygnicAsclepius: ((I think she could stand a bit more development, but yeah))

(10:29:45 PM) lucidChthonia: ((She knows what game abstractions do, in a visceral sense. Not the same with co-players.))
(10:30:06 PM) lucidChthonia: ((Hey, it's the consequence of turning an introvert into an extrovert))
(10:30:14 PM) ontologyExpunged: (( Businesslike should be part of it. 'Nice,' should be also. I don't think she's actually managing 'extroverted,' but dammit, she's trying. ))
