  13. (10:06:44 PM) lucidChthonia: Hi!
  14. (10:06:45 PM) serpentLinguist: Ross, how are you? It's been /days/.
  15. (10:06:49 PM) bobbedNonsense: hi pipes
  16. (10:06:49 PM) amaranthineSwell: You've had us /worried/, you /ass/.
  17. (10:06:53 PM) lucidChthonia: Ross how are you

  20. (10:07:09 PM) tenaciousTheseus: ...
  21. (10:07:16 PM) ventricularPipefitter: The Underworld, where else? Nearly at the exit. Yes, I've been fine.
  22. (10:07:28 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Ah
  23. (10:07:31 PM) amaranthineSwell: It's been /three/ /nights/, are you even aware of that?
  24. (10:07:33 PM) lucidChthonia: Oh thank /Skaia/.
  25. (10:07:41 PM) tenaciousTheseus: [Adam: You're just paranoid, sit back down]
  26. (10:07:42 PM) ventricularPipefitter: It...it wasn't my intention to scare you all like that.
  27. (10:07:42 PM) serpentLinguist: It's been longer than that.
  28. (10:07:50 PM) serpentLinguist: We're running faster than server time.
  29. (10:07:53 PM) amaranthineSwell: Well, you /did/, you ass.
  30. (10:07:59 PM) serpentLinguist: Should I be over?
  31. (10:08:01 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Why'd you cut off contact?
  32. (10:08:25 PM) amaranthineSwell: Go find him, give him a good throttling from me.
  33. (10:08:42 PM) amaranthineSwell: I /swear/, my bile glands have been getting more work than they have for a while.
  34. (10:08:50 PM) serpentLinguist: Ross? Should I come over?
  35. (10:08:51 PM) ventricularPipefitter: That'd be good, Echo. There's something I'd like to show you, I think.
  36. (10:08:54 PM) tsundereCabaret: So Ross...
  37. (10:09:00 PM) tsundereCabaret: Did you kick some ass or what?
  38. (10:09:00 PM) serpentLinguist: All right.
  39. (10:09:13 PM) tsundereCabaret: Not that I care about your safety or anything. just as long as you kicked some ass.
  40. (10:09:23 PM) amaranthineSwell: Would you just shut up?
  41. (10:09:23 PM) lucidChthonia: Picked up a new technique, eh?
  42. (10:10:02 PM) serpentLinguist: [>Echo: Activate [Intuition] and take a [Frog Jump] to the Contrivance he'll come out of.]
  43. (10:10:09 PM) tsundereCabaret: I genuinely care far less about pipes health than anyone else thinks that I do, not to mention how much of a help he has been to me in the past so i may or may not give a fuck about his well being.
  44. (10:10:10 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Okay, okay, easy. This is suddenly a lot more conversation than Ross Eberhardt has had in...uh. A while. The Underworld, you know?
  45. (10:10:18 PM) amaranthineSwell: Yeah, yeah.
  46. (10:10:40 PM) amaranthineSwell: [>Ock: Slowly relax.]
  47. (10:10:44 PM) tenaciousTheseus: That's what you get when you marathon the /Underworld/
  48. (10:10:58 PM) tsundereCabaret: Atleast you're more or less fifty to one hundred percent alive, and that's probably alright with me. maybe. I'm guessing here on a whim.
  49. (10:11:06 PM) lucidChthonia: I don't blame him after the way he reacted to it when /I/ was with him.
  50. (10:11:33 PM) serpentLinguist: I'm waiting.
  51. (10:11:40 PM) serpentLinguist: How long are you going to be?
  52. (10:13:16 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Oh! Sorry, Echo. Was taking care of a few last things down here. Remind me...has anyone else claimed the Heart of Their Land, yet?
  53. (10:14:21 PM) serpentLinguist: I have, and Raki 's well.
  54. (10:14:31 PM) ventricularPipefitter: [ > Ross: Emerge, dressed in hooded white, tapping distractedly at your armband computer. ]
  55. (10:14:34 PM) amaranthineSwell: So, Vents, murder anything interesting while you were down there?
  56. (10:14:41 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Yes, actually.
  57. (10:14:53 PM) tenaciousTheseus: You
  58. (10:14:54 PM) tenaciousTheseus: What?
  59. (10:14:58 PM) amaranthineSwell: [>Ock: That's not the answer you were expecting.]
  60. (10:15:02 PM) amaranthineSwell: Care to enlighten me?
  61. (10:15:05 PM) tungstenTinkerer: I am going to assume angels
  62. (10:15:06 PM) serpentLinguist: Uh.
  63. (10:15:09 PM) serpentLinguist: Why are you...
  64. (10:15:27 PM) serpentLinguist: Huh, nevermind.
  65. (10:15:31 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Hmm?
  66. (10:15:34 PM) ventricularPipefitter: A Virtue of the Host. That was...unpleasant and very, very, educational.
  67. (10:15:47 PM) serpentLinguist: [ >Echo: turn off voice-to-text. ]
  68. (10:15:47 PM) tenaciousTheseus: adfghjkl
  69. (10:15:54 PM) tungstenTinkerer: Oh
  70. (10:15:56 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "Nice threads." ]
  71. (10:15:57 PM) tenaciousTheseus: How the /fuck/ did you /solo/ a /Virtue/
  72. (10:16:08 PM) amaranthineSwell: That's.
  73. (10:16:10 PM) serpentLinguist: [ >Move in to hug him. ]
  74. (10:16:11 PM) amaranthineSwell: A thing you did there.
  75. (10:16:31 PM) ventricularPipefitter: We nearly didn't come through at all.
  76. (10:16:35 PM) tsundereCabaret: ... I don't know what Virtues are, but uhm. they sound. Uhm. I am not leaving because this scares me a little.
  77. (10:16:40 PM) amaranthineSwell: "We"?

  81. (10:16:51 PM) ventricularPipefitter: [ Oh there's Echo. You'd better hug her. ]
  82. (10:16:54 PM) amaranthineSwell: You're pluralizing.
  83. (10:16:58 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Echo, you're there, give him a hug
  84. (10:17:00 PM) lucidChthonia: The /what/ -

  95. (10:17:48 PM) tungstenTinkerer: I am not sure whether I should yell at you for being reckless or compliment you for actually /doing/ it
  96. (10:18:02 PM) tenaciousTheseus: Not pluralize after you come out from an extended session in the Underworld?
  97. (10:18:13 PM) tenaciousTheseus: So that I don't die from a heart attack at 25
  98. (10:18:20 PM) lucidChthonia: Adam.

  682. (12:24:04 AM) tungstenTinkerer: Do you know what just transpired in your session?
  683. (12:24:31 AM) artilleryTechnician: There's a lightshow in red, so I'm assuming Ross just tiered?
  684. (12:25:09 AM) tungstenTinkerer: Yes. The cricumstances are not exactly good though. There had to be a tier-and-clear from angel corruption.
  685. (12:25:15 AM) artilleryTechnician: I'd be PMing him or Echo, but when she tiered, they took a day to themselve-
  686. (12:25:19 AM) artilleryTechnician: What?
  687. (12:25:26 AM) tungstenTinkerer: We will need to assess the damage and Sanitize

  692. (12:26:58 AM) tungstenTinkerer: Ok. Pull them out
  693. (12:27:19 AM) tungstenTinkerer: The underworld is the last place they want to be now.
  694. (12:27:35 AM) artilleryTechnician: I think they're in a 'no communication' area right now. I've left them PM's, and- sec, I'm being spammed.
  695. (12:28:00 AM) tungstenTinkerer: Classpects.
  696. (12:29:13 AM) tungstenTinkerer: Dude. Class and aspect of everyone.
