(6:18:31 PM) nebulousMetamorph: Hello, Pipes.
(6:18:36 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Hey, Karen.
(6:18:43 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Skye" ( Hey, how've you been? )
(6:19:47 PM) epiele|online: spenih|online PMs "Venpip wait why does she call him Venpip" (Hi, this is Epi. Spenih just stormed out the door without telling me what she was doing or taking her phone with her. May I take a message?)
(6:20:20 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (Also, uh)
(6:20:27 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (You might want to take a look at this)
(6:20:42 PM) ventricularPipefitter: [Something's very wrong if she did that.]
(6:20:47 PM) ***epiele|online has sent ventricularPipefitter file logsfromspenih.txt! ((the thing that just happened))
(6:21:33 PM) ventricularPipefitter: [...]
(6:21:52 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( oh. oh god. )
(6:21:57 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (You are under no obligation to explain /any/ of this to me.)
(6:22:06 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (With that out of the way, what the fuck?)
(6:23:22 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( A friend of Kari's in her last session made a deal with The Bastard for shitty, idiotic, reasons. Kari went and made her own offer--/after/ she'd been counselled against, /after/ I fucking told her not to and fucking told her /how to do it right/ if she wouldn't be not an idiot--to get Him off Iturea's back. )
(6:23:28 PM) Mnem left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(6:23:59 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( Turi died horribly. Kari gains nothing. Net universal suffering is increased. )
(6:24:20 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( This isn't the first time she's spoken to Spenih about this. )
(6:24:37 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( I am. )
(6:24:46 PM) ventricularPipefitter: [Take a long, deep, shuddering breath.]
(6:25:01 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( I am so incredibly angry. )
(6:25:10 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (Oh, for fuck's sake. It's one of /those/ situations where everyone hurts and there's no answer that will make /anyone/ really happy.)
(6:25:30 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( Why that's a very cute and pat summary you've just made isn't it )
(6:26:00 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (Why am I talking with you again?)
(6:27:04 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (We're barely even clade. I'm two steps out from you in two different directions. Do you seriously think talking to me will help anything?)
(6:27:05 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( Because I need to know what's going on with my sister. Thank you incredibly much. I hope I can talk with her....when she's back. )
(6:27:27 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (Okay. Okay, so it's a /when/, not an if.)
(6:27:37 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (That's... slightly reassuring.)
(6:28:25 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( It /will/ be a when. She's not going to run into traffic. And clade is three-steps-out. Spenih, Zeimah, You. Huh. That does count. )
(6:28:51 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (Also me to Bryn to 'Cho to you.)
(6:29:07 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (Cue nepotism accusations.)
(6:29:18 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( Bryn and 'Cho are connected.....how? )
(6:29:27 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( Did you mean Abel? )
(6:29:43 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( Fuck's sake, keep my boyfriends straight. )
(6:30:06 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Epi" (They've talked about each other, some.)
(6:30:11 PM) epiele|online: (whoops)
(6:30:24 PM) epiele|online: ((whoops that one was to Ross and that wasn't put in the channel))
(6:30:26 PM) epiele|online: ((fffff))
(6:30:38 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (I'm not entirely sure what the relation is, but it does exist.)
(6:31:14 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( Huh. How's Bryn been? She hasn't been around much. )
(6:31:32 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (she hasn't talked to me at all since the door)
(6:31:55 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (I'm as in the dark as you are.)
(6:33:04 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( You've...reached out? )
(6:33:44 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (Once, or twice. I don't want to leave fifty PMs in her inbox and she spooks at the sight of them.)
(6:34:32 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( Oh. )
(6:35:06 PM) nebulousMetamorph: Oh dear, I'm being pulled away.
(6:35:13 PM) nebulousMetamorph: I hope you're doing alright, Pipes.
(6:35:22 PM) ventricularPipefitter: /I'm/ all right?
(6:35:25 PM) ventricularPipefitter: As for everything else?
(6:35:48 PM) ventricularPipefitter: *Meh.*
(6:36:01 PM) nebulousMetamorph: Ah, I get that.
(6:36:37 PM) nebulousMetamorph: Until later.
(6:36:42 PM) ***nebulousMetamorph left memo!
(6:38:45 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (Yeah.)
(6:38:49 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (I can wait.)
(6:39:07 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (I kind of have to.)
(6:40:05 PM) nebulousMetamorph left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 186 seconds).
(6:40:24 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( fuck this. Fuck ALL of this. )
(6:40:37 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( Do you know what the /best/ part is? Do you want to know the punchline? )
(6:40:45 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (Oh?
(6:40:46 PM) epiele|online: )
(6:40:52 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( Kari's my coplayer. )
(6:41:28 PM) epiele|online: [...]
(6:41:48 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( Isn't that perfect? )
(6:42:14 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( Perhaps I should be her server player! )
(6:42:55 PM) epiele|online: [What the /fuck/ are you supposed to say to that?]
(6:43:04 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (Am I supposed to say something here?)
(6:43:32 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( What would you like to emote? )
(6:44:19 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (I have /no/ /idea/. I'm mostly just tired and stuffed-up and want to go back to sleep because I just got woken up for this horseshit.)
(6:45:35 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( Go on, go on ahead and put it out of your mind. Be glad it's pregame and she can't flee as far as the Veil to be alone in the dark and the quiet to wonder if she even deserves to exist, if she hurts people so by doing. )
(6:47:05 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (are you implying that I don't /care/ somehow)
(6:47:32 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( No! That's a warning. For the future. )
(6:48:01 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Riley" ( Don't let this end like her last session. )
(6:48:10 PM) ***epiele|online PMs "Ross" (yes'm)
