Harken/Vera - Feelings jam

(6:14:08 PM) ***arkeUnbound has begun espering abrasiveCaliginist
(6:14:11 PM) arkeUnbound: Hey you
(6:14:15 PM) arkeUnbound: Harken!
(6:14:27 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Oh. Hi Vera.
(6:14:32 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: How's it going?
(6:14:43 PM) arkeUnbound: Amazing!
(6:14:51 PM) arkeUnbound: I have meteors
(6:15:01 PM) arkeUnbound: and fist bumped a robot and then decked it in the face.
(6:15:15 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Welp. I can see you've been enjoying yourself.
(6:15:17 PM) arkeUnbound: Today has been a pretty smashing day!
(6:15:23 PM) arkeUnbound: How about yours?
(6:15:31 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I've been better.
(6:15:45 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Trying to find some movies to have a good cry over.
(6:16:10 PM) arkeUnbound: a good cry over a movie?
(6:16:14 PM) arkeUnbound: I don't get it
(6:17:26 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: You know. Like, you watch a movie and have a good cry while you're watching it. Have you never seen a Hugh Grant flick? Those are usually pretty good ones to cry over.
(6:17:40 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Aaaaand all she has is action flicks. Great. Fucking great.
(6:17:58 PM) arkeUnbound: Who does
(6:18:05 PM) arkeUnbound: Also she has amazing taste.
(6:18:05 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: How am I supposed to cry.
(6:18:10 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: When all I can watch.
(6:18:14 PM) arkeUnbound: Why do you want to cry?
(6:18:14 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Is explosions.
(6:18:26 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Because I'm frustrated and conflicted and confused.
(6:18:47 PM) arkeUnbound: Um.
(6:18:51 PM) arkeUnbound: Would talking about it help?
(6:18:57 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Why does Innana exist?!
(6:19:05 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Why does she have to be so dumb?!
(6:19:08 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: And stupid?!
(6:19:13 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: And generally moronic?!
(6:19:29 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Does anything said to me by anyone mean anything at all?!
(6:20:21 PM) arkeUnbound: That's a question for you I think.
(6:20:25 PM) arkeUnbound: Does it mean anything to you?
(6:20:47 PM) arkeUnbound: You sound like you're having a hard time
(6:21:24 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Perhaps a little. I think Little Boas here senses that.
(6:21:35 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I have adopted a baby kink.
(6:21:38 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: *mink
(6:21:45 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: ((Fucking phone))
(6:22:12 PM) arkeUnbound: That doesn't sound like a bad thing!
(6:22:13 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: And I feel like it gets me
(6:22:15 PM) arkeUnbound: Aren't they adorable?
(6:22:34 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Curling up in my lap. Chilling out.
(6:22:37 PM) arkeUnbound: And you're just like Nona! She has one too
(6:22:51 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Awwww not Nona. Talk about anything but Nona!
(6:23:16 PM) arkeUnbound: Right right!
(6:23:20 PM) arkeUnbound: Wait no
(6:23:29 PM) arkeUnbound: This is not how we handle things here Harken!
(6:23:40 PM) arkeUnbound: I learned an important lesson from you and it lead to a great day today
(6:24:01 PM) arkeUnbound: And that lesson is to always bump fists and give things the maximum effort.
(6:24:17 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: *Gentle sobbing*
(6:24:21 PM) arkeUnbound: So running away is not happening. We are going to feelings jam so hard
(6:24:25 PM) arkeUnbound: So hard Harken.
(6:24:29 PM) arkeUnbound: Get your feelings ready.
(6:24:42 PM) arkeUnbound: Let them out in a big flurry of maximum effort.
(6:24:46 PM) arkeUnbound: Like three seconds ago.
(6:24:48 PM) arkeUnbound: That was good.
(6:25:05 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Sigh, okay, let's see...
(6:25:36 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Couple of nights ago, Nona brought me here, to this run down, dilapidated heap of trash she used to call her hive.
(6:26:15 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: So we were hanging out, making coffee, and I made mistake numero uno.
(6:26:18 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: The big one.
(6:26:28 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: The one all Orwells should never make.
(6:27:12 PM) arkeUnbound: What's that?
(6:27:30 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I tried to make it red with a trumai.
(6:27:43 PM) arkeUnbound: Ahhh.
(6:27:45 PM) arkeUnbound: Subplots.
(6:27:52 PM) arkeUnbound: They are a tricksome bugger.
(6:27:59 PM) arkeUnbound: Ok so what happened then?
(6:28:27 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: So we're just, y'know, getting close, and everything seems good.
(6:28:51 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: But then, I learn that she wants to share. With Innana of all fucking people.
(6:29:32 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Like a normal, sane person, I say "hell no, that isn't how matespritship works."
(6:29:48 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: But now that I think about it, and now that I've spoken to Innana...
(6:30:03 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Does anything Nona said to either of us really mean anything at all?
(6:30:48 PM) arkeUnbound: Why wouldn't it mean anything?
(6:31:10 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Because pity isn't something you just run around sharing with everyone, Vera.
(6:31:23 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: That's not how subplots work, even the good ones.
(6:31:51 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: You don't just casually sweet talk some babe, then run off and sweet talk another, and expect it not to blow up all over the place.
(6:32:21 PM) arkeUnbound: Of course! it always blows up. That's these kinds of subplots. It's how it goes
(6:32:24 PM) arkeUnbound: But!
(6:32:36 PM) arkeUnbound: That doesn't mean those feelings aren't genuine.
(6:32:40 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: And the worst part is I got *invested!* I *knew* what she does! I *knew* how she treats the concept of pity! And I got *invested* anyway!
(6:34:04 PM) arkeUnbound: Ok yeah, that is true
(6:34:09 PM) arkeUnbound: At least she was honest
(6:34:12 PM) arkeUnbound: That helps?
(6:34:18 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Then there's so much more. I can picture the smug look on Innana's face if Winona picks her over me, and all I see is fire. Fire on everything! I want to burn large segments of the savannah! And I would, but, y'know, all the cute little animals.
(6:34:48 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I'd feel really bad if I burned their home.
(6:36:31 PM) arkeUnbound: At least you're keeping things in perspective!
(6:36:47 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: it doesn't feel like there's anything I can *do* about any of it.
(6:36:54 PM) arkeUnbound: Sure you can!
(6:36:57 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I want to be out there *doing* stuff.
(6:37:00 PM) arkeUnbound: You can fight!
(6:37:08 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: But I can't leave this stupid place until I'm declared dead.
(6:37:11 PM) arkeUnbound: Earn that pity be the most pitiful you can be!
(6:37:26 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I...
(6:37:31 PM) arkeUnbound: What did Innana even say?
(6:37:57 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I don't even remember. I got so angry and had so many pleasant visions of her charred corpse.
(6:38:39 PM) arkeUnbound: That counts as romantic right?
(6:38:47 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: So many things would be better for me if she were to just fuck right off.
(6:39:03 PM) arkeUnbound: Aren't you still doing that black... thing?
(6:39:22 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Fuck, I don't even know anymore, what with everyone else's fucked up idea of pity.
(6:39:41 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I guess if we can fuck up pity, we should just go ahead and fuck up hate, too.
(6:40:01 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Sure, let's do that! C'mon, everybody! Let's just all be kismeses and share each other!
(6:40:21 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Bonus points if you scratch and bruise your many matesprits! Lemme see those cuts on your lips!
(6:40:36 PM) arkeUnbound: Harken I'm pretty sure you're being silly.
(6:40:46 PM) arkeUnbound: Like fifty percent.
(6:40:46 PM) arkeUnbound: Ish.
(6:40:51 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Woohoo! YOU get some hate! And YOU get some hate! EVERYONE GETS HATE!
(6:41:08 PM) arkeUnbound: Harken!
(6:41:11 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: No, what I am is mad as hell. Silliness doesn't factor in.
(6:41:12 PM) arkeUnbound: Listen.
(6:41:17 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: What!
(6:41:19 PM) arkeUnbound: Harken I need you to slap yourself for me.
(6:41:23 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Fucking kheseds!
(6:41:25 PM) arkeUnbound: And calm your buns down.
(6:41:29 PM) arkeUnbound: No no!
(6:41:31 PM) arkeUnbound: Buns!
(6:41:34 PM) arkeUnbound: down!
(6:41:36 PM) arkeUnbound: And calm.
(6:41:43 PM) arkeUnbound: Get those buns all calmed down.
(6:41:44 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: No, I'm not going to do either of those things when there are perfectly good feels to be had!
(6:41:46 PM) arkeUnbound: All the way down.
(6:42:09 PM) arkeUnbound: Well all right then.
(6:42:13 PM) arkeUnbound: Keep freaking out.
(6:42:18 PM) arkeUnbound: I'm sure Innana will stay calm
(6:42:24 PM) arkeUnbound: Probably plan things out.
(6:42:28 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: ...you devil.
(6:42:28 PM) arkeUnbound: Easy win.
(6:42:41 PM) arkeUnbound: I am just staying innocent facts! :D
(6:43:36 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: One of us is gonna hurt the other! It's an inevitability! I don't trust her not to tear my throat out! Damn kheseds! "Bluh, something something animals! Something something stupid arrow thing (you know the one)"
(6:44:44 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: But, let's be honest with ourselves here. Did Innana really do anything other than just generally be just the right person to piss me off and rain on all my parades?
(6:45:00 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: C'mon: be real with me.
(6:45:20 PM) arkeUnbound: Well she taught me a lot of stuff about hunting?
(6:45:24 PM) arkeUnbound: Does that count
(6:45:48 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Do you think a person like Innana-so serious and mystical-would *really* make the first move in a relationship?
(6:45:54 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Really and truly?
(6:46:24 PM) arkeUnbound: Isn't making the first move what hunters do?
(6:46:32 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Shut up and listen.
(6:46:42 PM) arkeUnbound: Ok go on.
(6:47:38 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Doesn't it seem more likely that a liberal young lady like Winona would make that move? Isn't this *her* mess? If so, why do *I* feel like this matters so much to me?! Why do *I* feel personally responsible for it?!
(6:47:46 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: And another thing:
(6:48:06 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I'm sure you have a lot of great things to say about Innana. Really, I'm sure. But all I ever see are the awful things.
(6:48:18 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: The cuts and the bruises and the insults and the airs.
(6:51:18 PM) arkeUnbound: I know that.
(6:51:27 PM) arkeUnbound: And I know she probably sees you the same way.
(6:51:33 PM) arkeUnbound: When I see you as a pretty cool guy!
(6:51:39 PM) arkeUnbound: Who lights a lot of fires.
(6:52:07 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: She just thinks I'm an idiot. I see far more sinister things in her than she does in me. Goofball though I may be, I'm not stupid, Vera.
(6:52:23 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: All I want.
(6:52:29 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: All I *really* want.
(6:52:34 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Is to go back to dancing.
(6:52:39 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: And enjoying that dancing,
(6:54:04 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: And yet, now that I have the record player turned on, and am listening to some incredibly funky grooves.
(6:54:11 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I cannot seem to feel the spark.
(6:54:51 PM) arkeUnbound: Could I ask you something?
(6:55:06 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I dunno. Probably.
(6:55:12 PM) arkeUnbound: Ok so.
(6:55:22 PM) arkeUnbound: First.
(6:55:25 PM) arkeUnbound: Did you make the first move?
(6:55:57 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I dunno, there was a lot of casual stuff before that. That girl could really jump a dude's bones. But...
(6:56:01 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I guess...
(6:56:13 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Yeah, I suppose I did. Stupid Bee Gees.
(6:56:33 PM) arkeUnbound: You're supposed to be pretty good at said moves right
(6:56:55 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: What moves? Dance moves? I'm a phenomenal dancer.
(6:57:12 PM) arkeUnbound: Whatever your first move was!
(6:57:15 PM) arkeUnbound: I don't know.
(6:57:24 PM) arkeUnbound: seductive hip swinging.
(6:57:33 PM) arkeUnbound: I don't pay a lot of attention during those parts.
(6:57:36 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Oh gosh, now I'm embarrassed.
(6:57:52 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: My hip swinging is the best on our planet. Bar none.
(6:58:12 PM) arkeUnbound: Well can you blame her for being
(6:58:13 PM) arkeUnbound: guh.
(6:58:15 PM) arkeUnbound: Swept up?
(6:58:36 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Urgh. Next question, before I continue blowing my lid.
(6:58:42 PM) arkeUnbound: Right!
(6:58:44 PM) arkeUnbound: So
(6:58:46 PM) arkeUnbound: All I am saying.
(6:59:05 PM) arkeUnbound: What do you want right now?
(6:59:49 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: What I want in the next thirty seconds is something to destroy.
(6:59:57 PM) arkeUnbound: In general!
(7:00:06 PM) arkeUnbound: Or from the subplots.
(7:00:07 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: What I want in the long run is to not be bothered by subplots.
(7:00:29 PM) arkeUnbound: That's a great plan!
(7:00:34 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: It's probably for the best if I just go it alone. Not fuck with all this "oh, please pick me!"
(7:01:08 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Butt out. Not mess with Winona or Innana. Ignore the insults and slings and arrows.
(7:01:21 PM) arkeUnbound: You could!
(7:01:26 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I'm used to traveling alone, anyway.
(7:01:37 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Well, okay.
(7:01:43 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I have my new mink friend.
(7:01:55 PM) arkeUnbound: Friends are better than romantic subplots Harken.
(7:02:00 PM) arkeUnbound: They don't distract you from a fight.
(7:02:03 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: And he/she(? I haven't checked) is a damn sight better than Tarlow
(7:02:14 PM) arkeUnbound: They hand you a gun and walk with you away from an explosion.
(7:02:25 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Oh man, is that not the coolest shit?
(7:02:51 PM) arkeUnbound: Oh gosh yes.
(7:03:04 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Just like, doing a kickass somersault into a combat roll away from an imminent explosion, with a kickass pose right as a bomb goes off?
(7:03:11 PM) arkeUnbound: Yes!
(7:03:22 PM) arkeUnbound: You need to have just the right clothes though
(7:03:26 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: A grubslinger appreciates the importance of flair and style.
(7:03:36 PM) arkeUnbound: somethign sporty that billows in the windy explosion.
(7:03:39 PM) arkeUnbound: Like a cloak.
(7:03:54 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Bitch. Please. I wear a DUSTER.
(7:04:02 PM) arkeUnbound: Oooooh
(7:04:04 PM) arkeUnbound: Yes
(7:04:18 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: This one's missing a sleeve, though.
(7:04:40 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I dunno whether I should remove the other or try to patch it up.
(7:05:22 PM) arkeUnbound: What if you just kind of wear it over one shoulder
(7:05:31 PM) arkeUnbound: And show off your gun on the bare side
(7:06:25 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: That's what serapes are for. They billow, too
(7:06:44 PM) arkeUnbound: You sure know your badass clothes.
(7:07:00 PM) vampsquirrel left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client).
(7:07:00 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Style and flair are important, my friend.
(7:07:07 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: ((Bye Felicia))
(7:08:01 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: All the good shooting in the world doesn't matter if you don't let everyone know you're doing it.
(7:08:29 PM) arkeUnbound: Hum
(7:08:34 PM) arkeUnbound: I'm really not sure
(7:08:37 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: You need cool attack names!
(7:08:46 PM) arkeUnbound: Also true!
(7:08:47 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: And you need to shout them very loud.
(7:09:06 PM) arkeUnbound: Your attack name needs to basically be a sonic attack on its own!
(7:09:15 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: "Collateral shot!" Boom!
(7:09:21 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Something explodes!
(7:09:27 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Because that is a kickass name.
(7:10:09 PM) arkeUnbound: How about "Demonic demolitions'.
(7:10:23 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: "Buster Super Breaker!" And then you just completely assplode the fucking shit out of everything in front of you.
(7:10:59 PM) arkeUnbound: Can you even do that with a pistol?
(7:11:01 PM) arkeUnbound: wait
(7:11:03 PM) arkeUnbound: revolver.
(7:11:13 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Yes you can, if you believe hard enough.
(7:11:30 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Anything is possible for he who will believe in the heart of the revolver.
(7:12:30 PM) arkeUnbound: I like that spirit.
(7:12:39 PM) arkeUnbound: Do you believe?
(7:13:21 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: You know I've never been able to do it before?
(7:13:38 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Doesn't mean I don't casually do some shooting every now and again, see if I can't blow up a tree.
(7:14:22 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: God, that would be dank.
(7:14:31 PM) arkeUnbound: That would be pretty amazing.
(7:14:39 PM) arkeUnbound: I kicked a tree right out of the ground today.
(7:14:47 PM) arkeUnbound: So you have to match that with guns or you're just slack.
(7:14:50 PM) arkeUnbound: slacking.
(7:14:52 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Oh dang, really?
(7:14:58 PM) arkeUnbound: Oh yeah.
(7:15:04 PM) arkeUnbound: He was keeping me from a poster for this game.
(7:15:07 PM) arkeUnbound: So I go and Boosh!
(7:15:12 PM) arkeUnbound: Right out of the ground.
(7:15:23 PM) arkeUnbound: Tree: 0
(7:15:27 PM) arkeUnbound: Vera: A whole bunch
(7:15:30 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I better load my old shotgun. Darn thing. I reckon it has a twenty percent chance of blowing up on me at a given time.
(7:15:51 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: But it's a ten gauge.
(7:16:01 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: So I really can't complain about its stopping power.
(7:17:25 PM) arkeUnbound: Oooh
(7:17:29 PM) arkeUnbound: I didn't know you had a shotgun.
(7:17:34 PM) arkeUnbound: So cool~
(7:17:47 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Big ol' son of a bitch. Lever-action
(7:17:59 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: But no matter how much I clean it, it never gets more reliable.
(7:18:36 PM) arkeUnbound: Think of it as a bonus feature
(7:18:46 PM) arkeUnbound: if someone steals it from you, it'll blow up on them at just the right time
(7:18:50 PM) arkeUnbound: That's how it goes for heroes.
(7:19:34 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Maybe. I don't think I'm a hero, though.
(7:19:43 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: I haven't really done anything "heroic."
(7:19:56 PM) arkeUnbound: Not yet
(7:20:04 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: No rescuing purrbeasts from trees, or scared puppies from burning buildings.
(7:20:06 PM) arkeUnbound: But you have all the ingredients for an awesome action here!
(7:20:23 PM) arkeUnbound: Gritty, hard bitten renegade with a troubled past
(7:20:30 PM) arkeUnbound: Deep down you have a heart of gold.
(7:20:35 PM) arkeUnbound: A cool outfit.
(7:21:22 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: A revolver, too. Can't forget that.
(7:21:39 PM) arkeUnbound: No no
(7:21:41 PM) arkeUnbound: not a revolver.
(7:21:56 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: What?
(7:22:07 PM) arkeUnbound: A mystical heirloom gun handed down to you by an ancestor in a tomb.
(7:22:09 PM) arkeUnbound: that is like
(7:22:13 PM) arkeUnbound: 10 times cooler.
(7:22:35 PM) arkeUnbound: Also an eyepatch too!
(7:22:35 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: This is true, but "ancient revolver" rolls off the tongue better, methinks.
(7:22:46 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Oh shit the eyepatch.
(7:22:58 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: How could I forget the sweet eyepatch!
(7:23:22 PM) arkeUnbound: I don't know you're the one looking through it!
(7:24:40 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Now, wait a sec. something's weird about that statement.
(7:24:57 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: How can I look through an eyepatch?
(7:25:13 PM) arkeUnbound: guh.
(7:25:15 PM) arkeUnbound: Good point.
(7:25:25 PM) arkeUnbound: I mean unless you don't need an eyepatch.
(7:25:33 PM) arkeUnbound: And have a cool bionic thing.
(7:25:38 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: No, I certainly do. You can trust me on that front.
(7:26:08 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: By now, I'm so used to the handicap that I'd slap it back on if I regained vision on my right side, though.
(7:26:28 PM) arkeUnbound: That is pretty cool.
(7:26:35 PM) arkeUnbound: So what I'm saying Hark.
(7:26:41 PM) arkeUnbound: You are all sorts of ready to be a hero.
(7:26:59 PM) arkeUnbound: Maybe you should try to find some meteors.
(7:27:04 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Potential energy is still just potential energy until it's used, Vera.
(7:27:20 PM) arkeUnbound: We keep getting a bunch here and I've been doing all sorts of amazing stuff since they started falling down.
(7:27:47 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Hm. Wonder if I could blast one out of the sky...?
(7:27:55 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Roland's telling me to go for it.
(7:28:40 PM) arkeUnbound: I wanted to try that.
(7:28:44 PM) arkeUnbound: But they're pretty big.
(7:28:50 PM) arkeUnbound: I don't know if you'll get them though.
(7:28:55 PM) arkeUnbound: They're some marketing thing for a game here.
(7:29:33 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Jesus, actual meteors are a marketing ploy? What in god's name...
(7:29:38 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: What sort of game is it?
(7:30:27 PM) arkeUnbound: I don't know!
(7:30:32 PM) arkeUnbound: People say it's all kinds of things.
(7:30:54 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Well, start beating them until they give you a straight answer, then.
(7:31:06 PM) arkeUnbound: I would!
(7:31:08 PM) arkeUnbound: But they're online.
(7:31:09 PM) arkeUnbound: It's like
(7:31:18 PM) arkeUnbound: Action fighting simtulation kind of thing?
(7:31:22 PM) arkeUnbound: With adventures and puzzles.
(7:31:25 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: You're gonna let that stop you, cully?
(7:31:35 PM) arkeUnbound: Only for now!
(7:31:46 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Actually, speaking of games....
(7:31:54 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: What does 845H mean to you?
(7:32:12 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: "BASH", written in alphanumeric.
(7:32:12 PM) arkeUnbound: I don't think it means anything to me.
(7:32:16 PM) arkeUnbound: Ooh.
(7:32:17 PM) arkeUnbound: Bash!
(7:32:20 PM) arkeUnbound: I like that word.
(7:32:27 PM) arkeUnbound: It's a very punchy word Hark.
(7:32:42 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Figures you would. I found it and five other words in this hive.
(7:32:53 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Each in one of our six text colors.
(7:34:09 PM) arkeUnbound: Huh
(7:34:14 PM) arkeUnbound: In Nona's hive?
(7:34:24 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Yeah.
(7:34:26 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: They together formed a password that granted me access to a game called SBURB.
(7:35:28 PM) arkeUnbound: oh hey
(7:35:34 PM) arkeUnbound: That's the game I was talking about.
(7:35:36 PM) arkeUnbound: that is
(7:35:40 PM) arkeUnbound: pretty creepy actually what.
(7:35:52 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Hmm
(7:36:03 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Lexi and I intend to play together.
(7:36:52 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Perhaps you, too, should play? I'd talk to Lexi about it.
(7:37:15 PM) arkeUnbound: You bet I will!
(7:37:18 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Listen, though, I've found a movie that'll give me a good cry. In place of ice cream, I have more ravioli.
(7:37:29 PM) arkeUnbound: All right.
(7:37:33 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: So, I'll just scoop this stuff out of the can.
(7:37:36 PM) arkeUnbound: But
(7:37:44 PM) arkeUnbound: Are you going to be ok without subplots?
(7:37:50 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Probably.
(7:37:55 PM) arkeUnbound: Make me believe it!
(7:38:00 PM) arkeUnbound: You need that heroic spirit!
(7:38:06 PM) arkeUnbound: Give me a darn straight!
(7:38:07 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: It'll be easier when I've detached myself from stuff in that capacity.
(7:38:20 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Welp, I mean. You want a darn straight?
(7:38:27 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: You'll get a damn right.
(7:38:45 PM) abrasiveCaliginist: Adios, cully. Take care.
