[S] Somnus: Enter

Mon	DM	Right on cue there is a large explosion that shakes your whole hive.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: this game is so realistic i almost forgot
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: But uh....Somnus
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: This uh...this isn't fake
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: that sounded close
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: WHAT?
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: uh
Mon	DM	Meanwhile the saws on the lathe carve the cylinder into something that most definitely is not a cylinder.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: FUCK
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: I ACTUALLY got hurt during my fight with the imp. Like, I FELT the grass on my land and everything
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: I'm pretty sure this is for reals
Mon	artificialAthanasia	Somnus takes the cylinder, but hesitates to put it on the Alchemeiter
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: oh crap
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: I'll have to wait for owldad to get back then
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: I can't leave him to die!
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: But what about you?!
Mon	artificialAthanasia	Somnus yells for owldad at the top of his lungs, also grabbing his bird whistle and blowing on it loudly
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: I'll be fine until im not
Mon	artificialAthanasia	Somnus puts the cylinder on the Alchemeiter in preparation
Mon	DM	Owldad doesn't show.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: fuck where the heck are you owldad
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: you cant be that far away
Mon	DM	A laser quickly scans over the cylinder.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	Somnus keeps blowing his whistle.
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: Somnus...
Mon	DM	A large teal mirror appears on the larger platform.
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: A mirror?
Mon	artificialAthanasia	Somnus averts his eyes, refusing to look in it
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: crap if i look in that i bet itll enter me
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: owldad where the heck are you
Mon	sentaiLunalight	Sarah browses around the house
Mon	sentaiLunalight	She looks around his room
Mon	DM	You see the same room things.
Mon	DM	There are no traces of any gigantic owls.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	Crap, Owldad must still be at the mountain.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: hey sar, how far away can you look?
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: Uuuh...let me see. She zooms out as much as she can
Mon	DM	You can see a little bit past the hive, but not much.
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: I can only see a bit past your home
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: fuck
Mon	artificialAthanasia	Somnus turns to his kernelsprite
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: can you go get owldad?
Mon	DM	The sprite is a book, so it can't directly reply.
Mon	DM	INSTEAD
Mon	sentaiLunalight	Sarah zooms back to Somnus
Mon	DM	Instead, the pages flip open to a specific page. A specific paragraph is glowing brighter than the others.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	-====> [S] Somnus: Read
Mon	DM	A.1.1 3) (c): The legislacerator may not pursue the perpetrator of the aforementioned crime without a signed warrant from the Grand Highblood.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: FUCK
Mon	artificialAthanasia	artificialAthanasia started pestering chummyChef at 10:42
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: Ali
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: I need some help
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: just give me permission to chase owldad
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: please
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: Somnus?!
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: What are you doing?!
Mon	DM	You get no response from chummyChef.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: fuck
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: sar, can you pick up the mirror
Mon	sentaiLunalight	Sarah attempts to pick up the mirror
Mon	DM	You get an error message when you try to select the mirror.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	Somnus attempts to pick up the mirror himself without looking into it.
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: I can't...!
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: fuck
Mon	DM	You can't pick up the mirror. It seems to be completely immobile.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: FUCK
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: try the whole alchemeiter
Mon	sentaiLunalight	Sarah tries to pick the alchemeiter up
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: Somnus I...I don't think is working
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: NO!
Mon	DM	The alchemiter won't move either.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: I CANT LEAVE HIM BEHIND, SARAH
Mon	artificialAthanasia	Somnus then asks his kernelsprite if it will move the mirror for him
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: It won't move! Somnus! Please!
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: okay look
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: i will
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: if theres a meteor on my face
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: but if i still have time i NEED to get owldad
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: I don't know how much more time you have
Mon	DM	The book flips to a new page.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	-====> Somnus: Read
Mon	DM	A.3.2 (6) (d): Actors other than the legislacerator are not permitted to participate in the acquisition of the aforementioned criminal.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: fuck
Mon	artificialAthanasia	Somnus tosses his legislacerator costume into the kernelsprite
Mon	DM	There is another flash of light.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: okay, can you do it now?
Mon	DM	When you look back, there is the torso of a dashing lawyer with a bookmark for a tie.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: as a blood of... uh, higher than whatever you are i order you to go apprehend owldad and bring him to me
Mon	DM	LS: I'm afraid not. I am only authorized to act as your legal counsel.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: FUCK
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: Wow...
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: no, you're a legislacerator
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: YOU
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: ARE
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: THE
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: LEGISLACERATOR
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: IT'S YOU.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: NOW GO CHASE DOWN THAT CRIMINAL
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: AND BRING HIM
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: TO ME
Mon	artificialAthanasia	Somnus punches the alchemeiter for good measure
Mon	DM	Your fist hits the hard metal and it hurts a little. Take 1 damage.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: fuck
Mon	artificialAthanasia	You know what? If you need a higher blood to order you to do this, here you go.
Mon	DM	LS: No, I'm just a consultant.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	artificialAthanasia started espering aquaticEudaimonia
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: dude i need some help
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: just give this guy permission to hunt owldad
Mon	DM	LS: If you need assistance, that I can give. But when it comes down to it, you're the plaintiff here.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: okay
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: can you carry the thing now?
Mon	artificialAthanasia	((oh fuck i cant tell which are with aciode and which are with sprite now)
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: at least?
Mon	aquaticEudaimonia	AE: ><((("> what
Mon	DM	LS: I don't think you understand. As a sprite, I am here to help you along.
Mon	DM	LS: But the actual deeds are up to you.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	[AA: just say]
Mon	artificialAthanasia	[AA: I order you to go chase owldad]
Mon	artificialAthanasia	[AA: or shit]
Mon	aquaticEudaimonia	AE: ><((("> i order you to go chase owldad
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: Okay, listen to me.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: right now you're being a human lawyer
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: that is NOT what I prototyped you with
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: I prototyped you with a FUCKING LEGISLACERATOR.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: SO GO BE A FUCKING LEGISLACERATOR
Mon	DM	LS: I know very well what you did. And I know many other things as well.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: AND LEGISLACERATE OR WHATEVER
Mon	aquaticEudaimonia	AE: ><((("> was
Mon	aquaticEudaimonia	AE: ><((("> was that all?
Mon	DM	LS: One of which is that I can't do anything for you.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	[AA: yeah sorry]
Mon	artificialAthanasia	[AA: apparently my sprite is an utter moron]
Mon	artificialAthanasia	[AA: ugh]
Mon	DM	LS: I'm just a lawyer.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: okay
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: if i go throw myself in front of a meteor
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: would you like fucking sue the meteor
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: Somnus!! The meteors are getting closer!
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: fuck
Mon	DM	LS: I'm not sure there would be a point. The meteor has no means with which to compensate your estate.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: fuck this
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: fuck everything
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: Im going to go fucking get owldad
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: whether its fucking legal or not
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: take my fucking estate or whatever
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: I could care less
Mon	DM	LS: As your legal counsel I must strongly advise against this.
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: Somnus wait! If you don't make it...you'll....
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: Give me a reason not to.
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: Please Somnus! I don't want you to die!
Mon	DM	LS: You will almost certainly be convicted.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: what if I were to tell you
Mon	DM	LS: And the punishment in this case is execution.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: owldad has committed no fucking crime
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: and therefore the rule about apprehending criminals doesn't count in this case
Mon	DM	Lawyersprite sighs.
Mon	DM	LS: I can't do things for you.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: answer me this
Mon	DM	LS: All I can do is give you advice.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: if i go get owldad
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: will you kill me?
Mon	DM	LS: I won't. But the meteors certainly will.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: is this for certain?
Mon	sentaiLunalight	Sarah searches his hive for a flashlight
Mon	DM	LS: I'm not sure if you've looked around you lately. Everything else on Alternia is being destroyed by meteors.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: Well
Mon	DM	LS: Why would you be any different?
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: here's my plan
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: I have a friend who's also entering
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: their house is within running distance
Mon	DM	LS: Being a hero doesn't make you invincible.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: if I get to their house and enter with them, i'll be fine
Mon	DM	LS: I must advise you that that is a terrible decision.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: what are the chances of survival?
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: Somnus!!
Mon	DM	LS: Skaia is a fickle creature, and testing her is not a good idea.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: what if Skaia willed this to happen?
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: Somnus! You need to enter now!
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: what if Skaia, whatever the fuck that is, wants me to save owldad?
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: what if I don't, Skaia will kill me otherwise?
Mon	DM	LS: I can assure you, it does not.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: Who are you to claim to know what Skaia thinks?
Mon	DM	LS: Listen, you're the one killing yourself here!
Mon	DM	LS: Are you so intent on creating a doomed timeline?
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: Why are you so intent on leaving Owldad to die?
Mon	DM	LS: Just look in the damn mirror!
Mon	DM	LS: Because you're more important than that dumb bird!
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: WHAT.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: DID.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: YOU.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: JUST.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: CALL.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: OWLDAD?
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: FUCK.
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: ...Somnus, I'm sorry.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: YOU.
Mon	sentaiLunalight	Sarah uses her cursor to smack Somnus, aimming to have him look into the mirror
Mon	artificialAthanasia	Somnus clenches his eyes closed.
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: Somnus stop this!! Your going to die! Please!
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: Owldad is going to die!
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: you both will if you don't do something!
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: Okay
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: I'm going to smash this mirror.
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: WHAT?!
Mon	DM	@Sarah, you can't touch him.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: I'm going to smash this mirror, run to Allinn's house, and get owldad
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: I'm going to enter with Allinn
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: Listen, Owldad
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: well, he's the only person i've known
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: I can't leave him to die!
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: Somnus how are you going to dodge the meteors?! I respect your love for your guardian but...but...!
Mon	artificialAthanasia	Somnus takes a deep breath.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	Then he adresses laywersprite
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: Okay
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: I still hate you with every one of my brain cells
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: but
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: I'll look in the mirror
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: just
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: fuck you
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: fuck skaia
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: fuck life
Mon	artificialAthanasia	Somnus turns around and glares in the mirror
Mon	DM	LS: I can take your hate if it means your life.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	AA: a life taken by one's own hands is no different than one's taken from another
Mon	DM	As you stare into the mirror you see yourself alongside several other people.
Mon	sentaiLunalight	SL: Somnus I'm so so sorry about owldad...
Mon	artificialAthanasia	You reach out with every ounce of brain power you have, imagining Owldad in there with the others
Mon	DM	They are the same people you saw earlier when you opened the box.
Mon	artificialAthanasia	You will it to be true
Mon	DM	You recognize Leon and Allinn among them, but most of the others are unfamiliar to you.
Mon	DM	A bright red light sears your eyes and envelopes everything around you.
Mon	DM	---Fin---
