Star's Curse: The Path of Paradox 1

<starlite> Our world's history pages are written in blood, not ink. Written with the blood and sweat and tears of those willing to exert the effort, willing to go where no sane man has treaded before. But stepping into the darkness of the unknown always has its risks, and making history, whether for noble or selfish reasons, may easily end with your entire being getting wiped from the history of the planet. It is the drive that brings humanity for
<starlite> ward, and it is that humanity which you will need to hold onto in order to survive... Star's Curse: The Path of the Paradox
<starlite> You arrive at the site of the tomb, called her by Shiv for your capabilities... Or more likely because you were the only people willing to respond to his call
<Globe|Omar> They needed a cook, I was local, and I'm interested in history. What can I say?
<starlite> What you can see of the tomb appears to be a temple built on the hard ground, rising maybe four or five stories into the air, Built of worn grey stone and with only one obvious entrance, directly in front of you
<starlite> It appears to be an immediate and long fall down from the beginning, into the inky blackness
<starlite> ((Feel free to begin))
* Loyalty (~Loyalty@Rizon-A7696CAE.adsl.highway.telekom.at) has joined
<Drifter|Scott> (Told you he'd show up when you start)
* Arbor|Venelopy whistles, bringing out her stethoscope and placing it against the stone wall. "I think it's dead..."
* Shanked|Shiv just shakes his head at Venelopy, "Aye, very dead, but I'm glad ye answered m'call.  Inside ya need ta be on yer toes, be alert."
<Globe|Omar> I look around at all of the people I'll be working with.
<Globe|Omar> Doesn't look like any of the others are from around here.
* Drifter|Scott stands a few feet back staring at the eterence looking for any decorative carvings.
* Arbor|Venelopy waves her hand at Shanked and continues inspecting the wall for signs of life
* Persey|Jacob covers his eyes from the sunlite despite the the fact he was already wearing a sombrero like hat and jumpsuit. "We should probable get out of the sun and into the shadows atleast." he says with a pant.
* Arbor|Venelopy blinks at Jacob and her gears turn
<Arbor|Venelopy> Oh! You are absolutely right, all this UV radation is going to be hell on my complexion!
<Shanked|Shiv> Aye, we should.  Th'sun here'll bake yer skin away from yer bodies.
* Nass has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Arbor|Venelopy quickly darts over to the shady entrance of the temple, looking straight up at the gaping archway
<Globe|Omar> "Don't I know it."
<Persey|Jacob> me mutters loud enough to barely hear"..And bleach the bones of whats left..."
* Drifter|Scott looks at the man dressed up with an odd sombarero like hat and mutters under his breath. "Well at least I won't get called out on looking like Indiana Jones..." he says slowly walking to Shiv. "So, what exactly are we doing here?..."
<Arbor|Venelopy> You shouldn't put bleach on bones, Sir, it's really bad for you
* Arbor|Venelopy gives Jacob a look and steps further into the entranceway
* Persey|Jacob gives Venelopy the look that basically says. 'what did you say? Oh my god you've got a lack of basic faculties in the gray matter'
* Shanked|Shiv crosses his arms across his chest, "Alroit, heres th'thing.  Legends about this place exist within m'family and have for ages, but noone knows why.  Somethin about my great great great great great great great great grandpappy exists about 'ere...an I want to know more."
<Globe|Omar> I nod.
* Arbor|Venelopy nods
<Drifter|Scott> (Can't you just do a /me Globe?)
<Globe|Omar> (:C)
<Shanked|Shiv> There are...posibilities, as t'what exists inside.  Some legends speak of immortality, others wealth, and some speak of happiness and endless bliss...
* Arbor|Venelopy 's eyebrows raise at "wealth"
<Globe|Omar> (I could, but usually don't. Internal dialogue and actions are normally what I post; spoken things are in quotes.)
<Drifter|Scott> (Um alright...)
<Arbor|Venelopy> (He does it as if we were actually at the table)
* starlite gives voice to Pesephony|Jacob
* Drifter|Scott turns away from Shiv looking at the opening. "Well then like every other place... I take it you'll be leading us through the place that you've already looked through?"
<Globe|Omar> I shake my head. "I didn't think anyone'd been here for... generations, at least."
* Shanked|Shiv shakes his head, "Nay, ya make the assumption I've been inside b'fore." he flashes a grin towards his companions, "A virgin temple fr'us"
<Globe|Omar> I smile back.
<Arbor|Venelopy> What's virgin mean?
<Globe|Omar> "How expensive the olive oil is."
* Pesephony|Jacob walks up to the hole and looks down the hole "Anyone have a torch or chemlight?"
<Arbor|Venelopy> Ohhh
<Arbor|Venelopy> Thank you, Sir
* Drifter|Scott walks over to the hole and looks down in it. "I think we might need a rope as well..."
* Shanked|Shiv flips open the pouch on his front, "Aye, I carry one.  Th'clothes ya see are as close ta the vestiments me great great great great great great great great grandpappy use ta wear fer this place" and withdraws a simple blue LED flashlight
<Pesephony|Jacob> "I hope we came prepared."
<Shanked|Shiv> (Star, how prepared would you say we are?)
<Shanked|Shiv> (or rather, how prepared are you willing to let us be)
<starlite> ((As prepared as you'd like, unless I veto something))
<Pesephony|Jacob> (if you were in the call shanked... if only you were in the call)
<Drifter|Scott> (I take it I won't get a gun, can I get a whip then?)
<Globe|Omar> (I probably drove here. Brought ingredients and prep supplies, I imagine. And a flashlight.)
<Arbor|Venelopy> (I have my stethoscope ^^)
<starlite> You can have a whip and a gun, without bullets
<Drifter|Scott> (Huzzah)
<Pesephony|Jacob> (Can I have a swiss army knife?)
<starlite> Yes
<Swiss[Swan]> ...
* Pesephony|Jacob looks around for any kind of shelter from the sun
* Drifter|Scott looks around the hole for anything that would be able to hold the rope without the object breaking off
* Arbor|Venelopy picks up her hello kitty backpack/sleeping bag combo
<starlite> The shadow of the tomb provides ample shade, as do a few leafy palm trees surrounding it. The area seems rather barren, but not naturally so
<Globe|Omar> And I'm sure I wasn't stupid enough to not park my truck in the shade.
<starlite> Upon close examination, you can see that one of the bricks on the inside of the doorway to the tomb is missing, with a rough grip attached in its place to hold a rope
<starlite> Hopefully not, Omar
* Shanked|Shiv makes his way towards the entrance of the temple and clicks on the LED Flashlight, shining it down the hole
<starlite> Looks like... maybe a 15, 20 foot drop? The pathway seems to go forward afterthat, and you acn't see beyond it at this angel
<starlite> *angle *can't *after that
* Drifter|Scott looks down with Shive. "You got a rope right..."
* Shanked|Shiv shoots Scott a smarmy smile, "Naturally," he says unraveling the length from his belt, "I've also got a multi-tool in the pouch and somethin' else the legends say ta bring."
<Globe|Omar> I raise an eyebrow.
* Pesephony|Jacob looks ove at shiv. "How many expeditions have gone in there before?"
* Shanked|Shiv shakes his head and shrugs, "Ta be honest I dunnae how many, but from th'looks o things, a couple before."
<Arbor|Venelopy> He said it was virgin, Jacob, so it's pretty good stuff, doesn't cheap out on the taste
* Drifter|Scott points to the rope mount on the wall nearby. "That wasn't built at the time of this place... We ain't the first..."
<Pesephony|Jacob> I'd like to volenteer to go down.
* Shanked|Shiv slings the rope around the rough area to attach the rope and dangles it down the hole but not before giving the rope a sharp tug to make sure it can hold
<starlite> It seems very steady
* Shanked|Shiv holds the rope, "Jacob was it?  Aye, ya know 'bout how ta climb down one o'these righ?"
* Pesephony|Jacob looks at shiv with a determined look. "If you can tie me up on a harness I'll go explore around a bit"
<Globe|Omar> "I'll just set up camp." I go to my truck and get out the tent I brought, and make preparations to set it up.
* Arbor|Venelopy sets her packdown in the entrance way and sits on it out of boredom
<Shanked|Shiv> (star, if we look down the hole is a cavern or is more like a tunnel)
<starlite> The ground is rather dry and dusty, but not very sandy. There are some cracks in the rough earth, it's so dry. Should be a suitable place for camp
<starlite> Tunnel-like. A manmade corridor of bricks
<starlite> ((Little fillies room, be right back))
* Shanked|Shiv looks at the rope, "We don' have enough rope fer tha, but here, this be what ya do." he grabs the rope with both hands, "Keep yer grip tight an use yer weight to keep ya pressed agains the wall, like so." and he demonstrates the action
* Pesephony|Jacob Counters "It might be better to make a 'swing' like rope so if anything undesirable is down there you guys can pull me up easily."
<starlite> ((Returned))
* Drifter|Scott slowly pulls his revolver from his holster and turns the cylinder around making note of his no ammo and sighs wishing he didn't have to spend the last of his bullets just to get to the site. He goes back to watching the strangely dressed man talk to Shiv
* Shanked|Shiv shifts down a bit of the rope, "Lets be honest there Jacob, what exactly could be down there?"
* Arbor|Venelopy stares at Drifter in fear, hesitating for a moment before running over to him, grabbing the gun, and throwing it into the trees a few yards from the temple
<starlite> Also, all of you bar maybe Venelopy are probably familiar enough with the local fauna to know to avoid the black scorpions with yellow backs. Not agressive unless provoked, sting filled with very deadly venom
<Arbor|Venelopy> GET THAT BABY KILLING ASSAULT WEAPON OUT OF MY FACE!
<Drifter|Scott> (Well then)
<Drifter|Scott> (Any chance I can stop an instant action like that?)
<Pesephony|Jacob> Could be anything Shiv, if there wasn't then whatever treasure was down there wouldnt be here for us to take now.
<starlite> (You have a chance to respond as she pulls at the gun)
<Arbor|Venelopy> (Whoopsies ^^)
<Arbor|Venelopy> (Yeah, disregard the throwing it into the woods)
* Drifter|Scott keeps hold of his revolver inside his holster for the most part and uses his free hand to shove the insane woman back while keeping a deathgrip on his revolver. (I'd assume I'd over power her and the gun isn't out of the holester)
<Arbor|Venelopy> (You were handling it in your hands at the time)
* Arbor|Venelopy falls backward in a heap
<Drifter|Scott> (I didn't pull it out all the way, enough to check for any bullets left)
* Arbor|Venelopy looks up at Drifter with contempt in her eyes, but acknowledging defeat by not saying anything further
* Shanked|Shiv keeps shimmying down the tunnel, "Other than the scorpions we dunnae have much ta worry about" he says flashing a grin up to Jacob as he continues down the rope
* Drifter|Scott is slightly off put by the women not yelling anything out after pushing her on the ground and takes a few steps back muttering under his breath as he puts the gun back in fully and does the strap for it.
<Globe|Omar> I look over from setting up my tent and frown as I see the fighting.
* Arbor|Venelopy sits back on her pack, crossing her arms and looking anywhere but Scott
<starlite> Shiv reaches the bottom of the tunnel soon enough, assuming he goes that far+
* Drifter|Scott walks over to the hole next to Jacob looking down. "Hey everything clear down there?" he asks loudly
* Shanked|Shiv touches down and flips on the flashlight, glancing around shining as much as possible to get an idea of what's around
* Pesephony|Jacob holds onto the rope tightly.
<Pesephony|Jacob> "Shiv, what do you see?"
<starlite> The path continues forward for maybe five meters, the opens up dramatically. The huge room has a maybe 10-foot tall statue at the end of it, similar to anubis but with a horse head as opposed to a jackal. It is weilding a massive sword, and as far as you can tell from afar, it's real and sharp
* Arbor|Venelopy tentatively gets up and joins the others by the tunnel, on the opposite side of Jacob from Drifter
<Globe|Omar> I finish setting up the tent and also join the onlookers.
* Shanked|Shiv looks up length of the rope, "Aye!  Its clear, start sendin the others down...Except Venelopy, tie her to the end of the rope and lower her down!" he shouts up
* Arbor|Venelopy looks down at Shiv with an eyebrow raised
* Drifter|Scott grabs the rope giving it a small tug and starts to work his way down it someone quickly due to experience moving around in digsites
<Drifter|Scott> (it somewhat quickly*)
* Pesephony|Jacob follows after scott slowly and in an unexperienced way, almost hurting himself in the process.
* Shanked|Shiv looks to the statue, "...Aye...I know of this," he says reaching into his pouch and withdrawing a small handful of grapes, "I know ye need yer offerin', an I have it, if ya will allow" he says slowly and cautiously approaching the imposing monument
* Drifter|Scott reaches the bottom and makes his way to Shiv. "Hey, Shiv, what's with the chick, she tried to fight me over my revolver and hasn't said a word..."
<starlite> There is an inscription on the statue in the ancient tongue of your ancestors
<Arbor|Venelopy> (She's from California, to answer your question)
* Pesephony|Jacob Overhears shiv and scott and aproaches both of them, but then notices the statue and bows to it out of respect.
* Shanked|Shiv stares at the statue and lightly closes his hand around the grapes, staring at the statue with a smirk, "Open the door would ye, I've somethin' for ya if ya do"
<Globe|Omar> I wait for Venelopy to head down before descending.
* Drifter|Scott just sighs quietly and stands behind Shiv watching
* Pesephony|Jacob blinks wildly at Shiv who's talking to the Statue but says nothing.
* Arbor|Venelopy picks up the rope as Omar waits for her, tieing it around her waist and lowers herself down cumbersomely. A few feet from the ground, she falls off of the rope and lands on her ass, eeping and rubbing her bruised rear
* Pesephony|Jacob as he realizes shiv is his boss, and for the ammount of money hes paying him, then he could be used a whore.
<starlite> After a few seconds, the tile beneath your feet drops a few inches under pressure, and another inscription appears beneath the first
* Drifter|Scott hears the eep and places his hand idly on the revolver.
* Shanked|Shiv stares at the inscription
<Globe|Omar> I climb down the rope, and walk toward the statue.
<Globe|Omar> I examine it.
* Pesephony|Jacob taps shiv on the shoulder. " You can read it?'
* Drifter|Scott looks out and around for anything that seems dangerous
* Arbor|Venelopy gets up and walks over to the statue, still rubbing her battered butt.
* Shanked|Shiv merely chuckles, "Aye, I can, the full inscription says,  Stand before God and the way will open. Let no man follow the followers. Step forward. Stand strong and fearless under God's eye'."
<Globe|Omar> I pull out a pen and notepad from my notebook, and make a note about the inscription in it.
<Globe|Omar> Err, from my pocket.
<Globe|Omar> I don't nest notebooks.
<Shanked|Shiv> (Cause that's just silly)
<Globe|Omar> (Quite.)
* Pesephony|Jacob looks up examinening the statue for any oddities.
* Fanfic_Trixie[Tess] (~yellowkil@Rizon-294E36A3.gvllcmtc01.gnvlnc.ab.dh.suddenlink.net) has joined
<starlite> It might be a trick of the brain, but you could swear the eyes weren't looking at you before... But they definitely are now, Perse
* Pesephony|Jacob is now known as Persepony|Jacob
* Persepony|Jacob keeps eye contact with the statue and moves back.
* Shanked|Shiv jerks towards Jacob and puts a hand to Jacob's back, "Eyes up, don't back down."
* Drifter|Scott takes notice and watches Jacob, Shiv and the statue
<starlite> As you step back, the eyes flick up to stare forward
* Arbor|Venelopy taps her chin and takes out her stethoscope, examining the statue again
* Persepony|Jacob blinks " Did you see that!" He says pointing to the eyes.
* Shanked|Shiv nods, "Aye, I did...and did ye not hear what I said?  No fear in the face o' God"
* Arbor|Venelopy runs the hearing piece of the stethoscope over the leg of the pony-statue
* Persepony|Jacob approaches the statue to test a hypothesis.
<starlite> Venelopy, as you step forward to use the stethescope on the statu- OHSHITthesworditwasholdingisfallingandgoingtolanddirectly on all of you
* Shanked|Shiv lunges and rolls to the side
* Persepony|Jacob jumps away
<Globe|Omar> I stand strong and fearless under the statue's eye.
* Drifter|Scott quickly moves/dives to the side depending on how far he is as he's the farthest one away
* Persepony|Jacob towards where he came.
<Shanked|Shiv> (Which room is the Rolz Room?)
<starlite> The sword catches itself via a catch behind the statue, a few feet above your head. As it does, it pulls on a switch inside the wall, and five sections of the wall swing open, an inscription appearing over each
* Arbor|Venelopy looks at all of the others questioningly
<Arbor|Venelopy> The hell are you guys doing?
<Globe|Omar> I look to all the doorways.
* Persepony|Jacob realizes that his movement was a complete faillure at doing what shiv told him not to do.
* Shanked|Shiv recovers his roll and looks back at everything as he gets back to his feet, "Alrigh...interestin'."
<Arbor|Venelopy> (>tfw when venelopy is the only one to pass the test)
<Arbor|Venelopy> (>feelsgoodpone.ogg)
* Drifter|Scott stands back up looking around at the doors. "So... Five doors... Five people..."
* Persepony|Jacob looks at shiv. "We just feared in the face of god" he says mildly.
<Drifter|Scott> (>Globe didn't count)
<Arbor|Venelopy> (Globe isn't near the statue)
<Drifter|Scott> (he took notes on it)
<Drifter|Scott> (I kind of assume that means your close)
<Arbor|Venelopy> (He says he was moderately close)
<Drifter|Scott> (Whatever)
* Arbor|Venelopy straightens her back and walks around the room, tossing her stethoscope back around her neck
* Shanked|Shiv points at the doors from left to right, "The Path of sloth, of failure, of mistrust, of stardust, of darkness...Thas what they say"
<Globe|Omar> "...I'll take stardust."
<Persepony|Jacob> Are you planning on spliting up? Thats a terrible Idea
* Shanked|Shiv crosses his arms in front of him, "Nay"
<Shanked|Shiv> We choose one door an we all take it together
<Drifter|Scott> Didn't you just say something about no followers or something?
<Arbor|Venelopy> I agree
<starlite> The doors are very narrow also, you'll have to go in sideways to fit
<Shanked|Shiv> ...True...very true
<Globe|Omar> I head to the stardust door.
<Persepony|Jacob> Spliting up here is likely going to have an adverse affect on our survival.
* Shanked|Shiv narrows his eyes at the doors, "The Inscriptions do say we cannae follow anyone who goes through, all of ya, take yer picks...I'll take th'last."
* Persepony|Jacob sighs
* Arbor|Venelopy glares at Scott
<Arbor|Venelopy> I'll take Mistrust
* Persepony|Jacob rolls his eyes. "Fine. I 'll take darkness:
<Arbor|Venelopy> (It's 11:30, can we call it here?)
<Drifter|Scott> So failure or sloth...
* Shanked|Shiv waits for Scott to make a choice
* Drifter|Scott sighs. "I'll take failure..." he says slowly walking to the door
<starlite> Shall we call it here for tonight?
<Globe|Omar> (I vote nay.)
<Persepony|Jacob> nay aswell
* Shanked|Shiv nods to Scott, "Sloth it is then." he says walking towards the statue, "And ta'ye, I did ask and ya did give us the way," and with that he places the grapes at the statues feet, "For yer...good behavior."
<Drifter|Scott> (i don't know, if we're all splitting up can't we just do all of our parts, and then have Arbor do his next time?)
<Persepony|Jacob> )lets atleast get passed the doors so were nice and hooked)
<starlite> Does anyone enter the door?
<Arbor|Venelopy> (I'll stay for 5 more minutes)
* Arbor|Venelopy enters her door
* Drifter|Scott goes into the failure inscribed door
* Shanked|Shiv nods to the statue and enters into the Path of Sloth
<starlite> The stone wall slams shut again behind you, trapping you in the total darkness, aside from a pinpoint of light in the distance
<Globe|Omar> I make notes in my notebook before stowing it and entering my door.
<starlite> You being the four of you
* Arbor|Venelopy eeps as the door slams shut, now alone in her hallway
* Persepony|Jacob shakes a bit from fear. "Why did I do this so easily. " and does the only sensible thing left in the room and slowly inches towards the light
* Drifter|Scott just groans in his after nearly getting hit with a door and starts to slowly shuffle his way forward
<Globe|Omar> (I cast magic missile at the darkness!)
<Drifter|Scott> (Your not a pony yet globe)
<Globe|Omar> (I'm a wizard!)
* Arbor|Venelopy trembles and starts heading towards the other end of the hall
<Globe|Omar> I look behind me, then ahead. I head toward the light.

<Persepony|Jacob> (oops)
<Arbor|Venelopy> ...
<Shanked|Shiv> (oh god damnit)
<Persepony|Jacob> (sorry about that...)
<starlite> About halfway down the corridor, you feel the air get much thicker, breathing becomes a labored action... But it passes in time. In about five minutes you reach the light... And all arrive in the same room at the end of it. The walls here are colored gold as opposed to gray, and there is an L-bend in the next corridor.
<Shanked|Shiv> (Who is this for, just arbor?)
<Persepony|Jacob> (kinda...)
<Arbor|Venelopy> (All of us)
<Shanked|Shiv> (Ah, m'kay)
<starlite> So you all exit into the same room
* Arbor|Venelopy chokes and gags on the thick air, making her way slowly around the bend
* Drifter|Scott is taking deep breaths and looks around as he slips out. "So..." he coughs. "That was it?..."
* Shanked|Shiv slows his breathing down, "Dank...there's moisture in th'air"
<Globe|Omar> I look around the room for notable features.
* Arbor|Venelopy finds the light and stumbles through, coughing violently as she meets the others again
<Arbor|Venelopy> What was the point of that...
* Persepony|Jacob gently creep out into the light careful not to fall, and using his shirt as a kind of filter for the air and dust.
<starlite> There is some straw in one corner, fashioned into what might have once been a crude bed or possibly a feed pile. There is sunlight streaming in from a few small holes in the ceiling, causing the somewhat-dim light source in the room
* Drifter|Scott walks over slowly to the pile of hay and kicks it around with his foot to see if there is anything else in the pile
<Globe|Omar> I look for exits to the room.
<starlite> Beneath the pile is a hollow metal pipe. There is a doorway leading to the L-bend corridor on the far wall
* Arbor|Venelopy stands still and looks around
<Globe|Omar> I head down the corridor, through the doorway.
* Shanked|Shiv just slowly walks around the room, looking for anything that might be an inscription or anything there of, until I see Omar heading down the hall, "Omar, ya might wanna not head off without th'rest of us lad"
* Drifter|Scott leans over and takes the metal pipe looking it over
<Globe|Omar> I slow down.
<starlite> After the turn, you can see that the corridor branches out towards three paths on the right, and in two directions on the left
<starlite> Scott, the pipe seems completely without rust, almost as if it was put in within the past year
* Persepony|Jacob deadpans. " Really. someone named their animals darkness sloth, and so on. and now I'm stuck here. "
* Drifter|Scott slowly walks over to Shiv holding the pipe in his hand
* Arbor|Venelopy gives scott a cautious look of curiosity
<Globe|Omar> I look back. "I thought you were going to explore the tomb?"
* Shanked|Shiv looks at the pipe and grimaces, "Aye, good find...We're not th'first ones...tch"
* Drifter|Scott nods to Shiv. "Yep..."
* Arbor|Venelopy raises her hand
* Persepony|Jacob follows close behind everyone
<Arbor|Venelopy> I'm sorry, what? What did are you two talking about?
<Arbor|Venelopy> (oop, nix the did)
* Shanked|Shiv points to the pipe in Scott's hand, "If this where an ancient temple, one there wouldn't be pipes 'n it wouldn't be untarnished like this."
* Persepony|Jacob looks at the pipe. "Looks fairly new, cant have been a long time ago that the original owner lost it here. "
* Arbor|Venelopy looks at Shanked as if he didn't actually answer her question, rolling her eyes and going back to standing around
<Persepony|Jacob> (shiv)
<Globe|Omar> (Same idea.)
<Arbor|Venelopy> (gotta stop making these rookie errors...)
* Drifter|Scott looks at the pipe then to Jacob. "Bit odd however to find it in a hay pile... As if someone tried to hide it..."
<Shanked|Shiv> But why
<Globe|Omar> I walk back over to everyone.
* Drifter|Scott shrugs
<Globe|Omar> "...I thought we were here to see antiquity, not metal pipes."
<Persepony|Jacob> Perhaps the owner was kept here forcibly and that was one of his momentos that he tried o keep from whatever forced him here. Its common thing in prisons.
<Shanked|Shiv> Or, perhaps it was left here ta be discarded
* Drifter|Scott shrugs. "I dunno, but we ain't going out the way we came in... So shall we keep moving forward?..."
<Shanked|Shiv> (I do what to point out the time, and there are people waiting for me elsewhere)
<starlite> Shall we call it here then?
<Persepony|Jacob> Sure
<Arbor|Venelopy> Okay
<Drifter|Scott> Might as well
<starlite> When can we all meet next time?
<Drifter|Scott> I just need a day's notice
<Arbor|Venelopy> earlier on weekdays
<starlite> Thursdays and Fridays aren't so good for me
<Globe|Omar> I think I'm free all weekend.
<Arbor|Venelopy> or tomorrow?
<Shanked|Shiv> Wednesdays for sure this was an odd situation for me
<Arbor|Venelopy> I'm free tomorrow
<Drifter|Scott> But I can't meet next week on friday/staturday/sunday
<starlite> I usually have club meetings on the weekend, but I'm free tomorrow and Sunday
<Globe|Omar> Then Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are better for me, since I have no class on Tuesday or Thursday.
<starlite> So Monday and Wednesdays do seem like the best days so far, any complaints with them?
<Shanked|Shiv> No complaints here
<Globe|Omar> No, but can we do tomorrow, too?
<starlite> I'm fine with tomorrow
<Arbor|Venelopy> So long as they're early I can do mondays and wednesdays
<starlite> What time should we start?
<Globe|Omar> And aim for 6:30 this time? :B Like we were gonna today?
<Arbor|Venelopy> Tomorrow's fine as well
<Arbor|Venelopy> I'm with Globe
<Shanked|Shiv> evening after 5 is better for me
<Persepony|Jacob> sure
<starlite> So 6:30 EST tomorrow we play, and for reference it is currently midnight EST
<Globe|Omar> I think that's EDT, actually, but. Same idea.
