C4S3: The Prospit Party Boat

[21:11] <zoroastrianTextuary> ==START==
[21:11] <zoroastrianTextuary> [continuing from the point where we left off]
[21:11] <zoroastrianTextuary> well, it is your decision if you want to come along.
[21:11] <Samstrel> I suppose. I don't have anything better to do
[21:12] <zoroastrianTextuary> great! i'll be over in a second.
[21:12] <zoroastrianTextuary> [switching to paragraph mode]
[21:12] <zoroastrianTextuary> In a literal few seconds, you hear a knock from your tower window.
[21:12] == Samstrel has changed nick to Phrody_Tibalt
[21:13] <zoroastrianTextuary> A young boy...girl...? You really can't tell that well, is hovering outside your tower.
[21:13] <zoroastrianTextuary> (( https://my.mixtape.moe/iprppt.png pretty much this without the cat ears, and in some gender-neutral prospit pajamas))
[21:14] <zoroastrianTextuary> ((also this is ZT's face reveal))
[21:16] <Phrody_Tibalt> Who are you?
[21:16] <zoroastrianTextuary> He seems to be sort of short, around 5 feet tall.
[21:17] <zoroastrianTextuary> "You may know me as zoroastrianTextuary, but it is quite a long name to say. Call me Zogg for short."
[21:17] <zoroastrianTextuary> "ZT might be fine, too."
[21:17] <Phrody_Tibalt> "You're ZT? Why are you here?"
[21:18] <zoroastrianTextuary> "I thought you said you wanted me to show you around Prospit, correct?"
[21:20] <Phrody_Tibalt> "Well, yes. But how did you get here in the first place?"
[21:21] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Your tower's not hard to miss."
[21:22] <Phrody_Tibalt> "...Tower?"
[21:23] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Yes, tower."
[21:25] <Phrody_Tibalt> "I live in a house."
[21:25] <Phrody_Tibalt> "What is this tower you speak of?"
[21:26] <zoroastrianTextuary> "You're not in your ordinary room."
[21:27] <zoroastrianTextuary> "You're in a replica of your room on a tower on the moon of Prospit."
[21:34] <Phrody_Tibalt> "What exactly is Prospit?"

[21:40] <zoroastrianTextuary> ((netsplit has been fixed))
[21:40] <zoroastrianTextuary> ((we'll carry on for as long as possible))
[21:41] <Phrody_Tibalt> (ok)
[21:42] <zoroastrianTextuary> ((i at least want to get to the part where ZT goes to lysander's tower))
[21:43] <Phrody_Tibalt> ((we can try))
[21:44] <zoroastrianTextuary> ((it's pretty early on))
[21:45] <Lysander_Bel> ((I mean, if it's all the same))
[21:45] <Lysander_Bel> ((Y'could just stop right before that happens so I can at least keep on pestering ZT))
[21:46] <Phrody_Tibalt> ((well, let's get the show on the road then))
[21:46] <Lysander_Bel> ((As opposed to getting draged into IRC purgatory))
[21:46] <zoroastrianTextuary> ((you pestering ZT will prettym uch be a cycle of "please" and "no"))
[21:46] <Phrody_Tibalt> ((we'll figure it out, let's just keep going))
[21:46] <Lysander_Bel> ((Better'n nothing))
[21:47] <zoroastrianTextuary> ((what sam said))
[21:47] <zoroastrianTextuary> "There are three other towers like this one. A coplayer has already awakened, like you have."
[21:48] <Phrody_Tibalt> "Oh, I see."
[21:49] <zoroastrianTextuary> "I'd like for you to meet him."
[21:49] <Phrody_Tibalt> "I thought you were gonna show me around?"
[21:50] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Yes, after we get him."
[21:50] <zoroastrianTextuary> "He's a bit...interesting...at first."
[21:51] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Follow me! And if you hadn't known yet, you can fly here," Zogg says, as he begins to fly in the direction of another tower in the distance.
[21:52] <Phrody_Tibalt> You follow him, stunned at your abilities.
[21:53] <zoroastrianTextuary> Zogg stops at the tower, knocking next to the window.
[21:53] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Lysander!"
[21:53] <zoroastrianTextuary> ((Lysander_Bel))
[21:54] <Phrody_Tibalt> "Oh god, him?"
[21:55] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Give him a chance, people are different in real life sometimes."
[21:55] <Lysander_Bel> "Morrigan"
[21:55] <Lysander_Bel> "S'Morrigan"
[21:55] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Lysander, come out!"
[21:55] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Who's Morrigan?"
[21:56]  * Lysander_Bel is currently a thirty-something woman dressed in a thick black sweater and wearing an overly-intricate brass helmet
[21:56] <Lysander_Bel> "I said no"
[21:56] <Lysander_Bel> "M'busy"
[21:56] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Busy doing what?"
[21:56] <Lysander_Bel> "Being Morrigan"
[21:56] <Lysander_Bel> "Staying indoors"
[21:57] <Phrody_Tibalt> "Uhh.... what?"
[21:57]  * Lysander_Bel blinks
[21:57] <Lysander_Bel> "So y'*do* exist, eh Hopehely?"
[21:58] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Lysander, you can be Morrigan in the waking world!"
[21:58] <Phrody_Tibalt> "A what?"
[21:59] <Lysander_Bel> "I could, yeah.  So?"
[22:00] <zoroastrianTextuary> "So don't waste your time being Morrigan here!"
[22:00] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Be you!"
[22:00] <Lysander_Bel> "Why would I want to do that?"
[22:00] <Lysander_Bel> "S'not get too crazy here"
[22:01] <zoroastrianTextuary> "I'm not going to write a song about it, just trust me!"
[22:01] <Lysander_Bel> "Dude, more musical numbers is the closest you'd get me to the door"
[22:01] <Lysander_Bel> "... Or window, as the case may be"
[22:02] <zoroastrianTextuary> "..."
[22:02] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Phrody, may you please help me here?"
[22:03]  * Lysander_Bel shakes his... her... Morrigan's head
[22:03] <Lysander_Bel> "Let's not do this violently, please"
[22:05] <Phrody_Tibalt> "He's pretty odd. I'll leave this to you."
[22:06]  * Lysander_Bel is now the lycanthropic Foster
[22:06] <Lysander_Bel> "And at that, I pledge my debt to you"
[22:07] <zoroastrianTextuary> ((i still believe))
[22:07] <Lysander_Bel> "See, Zogg?  Hopehely's got the right idea"
[22:07] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Who's Hopehely?"
[22:07] <Phrody_Tibalt> "I'm wondering that too."
[22:08] <Lysander_Bel> "That'd be you, Phrody"
[22:08] <Lysander_Bel> "Try not to think about it too hard"
[22:09] <Phrody_Tibalt> "Uh, alright."
[22:09] <Phrody_Tibalt> "I think I'll leave you two alone."
[22:09] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Lysander, your plane is going to get thrown out of the sky in a week and you better enjoy your time here by getting out of your tower this instant!"
[22:10] <zoroastrianTextuary> "...if that was too harsh, i apologize."
[22:10] <Lysander_Bel> "It honestly seems easier to enjoy myself in here, dude"
[22:10] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Why enjoy yourself in here..."
[22:10] <zoroastrianTextuary> "...when you can enjoy yourself out there?"
[22:10] <Lysander_Bel> "Because in here isn't out there"
[22:10] <Lysander_Bel> "And out there is out there"
[22:10] <Lysander_Bel> "See the difference?"
[22:11] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Remember what I said about a journey of a thousand miles beginning with a single step?"
[22:11]  * Lysander_Bel finally risks a glance at the two newcomers in the window.  Foster has no problems with the vast plains of Vistan - this is fine.  This is... fine...
[22:11]  * Lysander_Bel decides his computer screen is a better thing to look at after all
[22:11] <zoroastrianTextuary> "Fine then, be one of your characters."
[22:12] <Lysander_Bel> "S'all anyone ever does"
[22:12] <Lysander_Bel> "Don't see why mine are so much worse than yours"
[22:12] <zoroastrianTextuary> "I am sure they can take a step out here."
[22:12] <zoroastrianTextuary> "...flight...?"
[22:13]  * Lysander_Bel sighs
[22:13] <Lysander_Bel> "It ain't that simple, Zoggo"
[22:14]  * Lysander_Bel is now the remarkable well-dressed Gino
[22:14] <Lysander_Bel> "You can wear whatever layers ya like.  Doesn't change who you are, right?"
[22:14] <Lysander_Bel> "Still the same festering pit under the skin"
[22:14] <zoroastrianTextuary> "But YOU can!"
[22:15] <zoroastrianTextuary> "And this is how!"
[22:16] <Phrody_Tibalt> "Zogg, I'll let you two bicker, I'm going back to my tower."
[22:16] <zoroastrianTextuary> "No, no-no-no-no-no-no-WAIT--"
[22:17]  * zoroastrianTextuary sighs in defeat.
[22:17] <zoroastrianTextuary> ((the dream is dead))
[22:18] <Phrody_Tibalt> ((I gotta sleep dude))
[22:18] <Lysander_Bel> "Easier to introduce two people when you don't do half the talking for them"
[22:18] <zoroastrianTextuary> "...oh."
[22:19] <Lysander_Bel> "Viszlat, Hopehely"
[22:19] <zoroastrianTextuary> "...."
[22:19] <zoroastrianTextuary> "i assume you don't want to stay here for much longer, Lysander."
[22:19] <Lysander_Bel> "Gino, please"
[22:19] <zoroastrianTextuary> "just go back to sleep here, and you'll wake up."
[22:19] <zoroastrianTextuary> "...gino."
[22:20] <Lysander_Bel> "It doesn't make a difference to me, Zogg"
[22:20] <Lysander_Bel> "Same cage, different colours"
[22:22] == Phrody_Tibalt [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client]
[22:22] <Lysander_Bel> "... N'there she goes"
[22:24] <zoroastrianTextuary> "if you say so."
[22:24] <zoroastrianTextuary> "it was nice meeting you in person."
[22:24] <Lysander_Bel> "Likewise"
[22:24] <Lysander_Bel> "Even if I only got the one look"
[22:25]  * Lysander_Bel sighs, a raspy noise that speaks to Gino's years of smoke inhalation
[22:26] <Lysander_Bel> "If it was that important to you that we talk, I can still pester her once I'm awake"
[22:26] <zoroastrianTextuary> "i guess that works too."
[22:26] <zoroastrianTextuary> "i must take my leave now."
[22:27] <Lysander_Bel> "'Fore ya go"
[22:27] <zoroastrianTextuary> "?"
[22:27] <Lysander_Bel> "First, wanna make sure I don't make a total fool of myself here"
[22:27] <Lysander_Bel> "That was GM, yeah?  groundedMythologist?"
[22:27] <zoroastrianTextuary> "correct."
[22:28] <Lysander_Bel> "Good.  Nothin' worse than guessing the wrong person and acting all smart-aleck about it"
[22:28]  * Lysander_Bel chuckles to himself
[22:28] <zoroastrianTextuary> ((i actually have to go here))
[22:28] <Lysander_Bel> "Second and last.  This game's worth playing?"
[22:29] <zoroastrianTextuary> "it's hard, and if there was another choice, i would take it."
[22:29] <Lysander_Bel> "A necessary evil, then"
[22:29] <zoroastrianTextuary> "much loss will be had, your family, your loved ones."
[22:29] <zoroastrianTextuary> "but if you manage to triumph, the reward you take will be much greater than any other."
[22:29] <Lysander_Bel> "They're all long gone"
[22:29] <Lysander_Bel> "So I'm in"
[22:30] <zoroastrianTextuary> "oh."
[22:30] <zoroastrianTextuary> "well, I'll see you in the waking world."
[22:30] <zoroastrianTextuary> Zogg disappears with a burst of green energy and static, leaving you by yourself.
[22:31] <Lysander_Bel> "... Vale, Zogg"
[22:31]  * Lysander_Bel leans back in his chair and goes back to sleep.
