  1. (6:17:07 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( ...So when did you start feeling like two people? )
  2. (6:18:10 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": (A better question is when Abel stopped feeling like he was a person.)
  3. (6:18:51 PM) galacticCosmologist: And my co-player's were 'bugged' for the most part as well.
  4. (6:19:28 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( Is that a question you can answer? )
  5. (6:21:49 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( Also: having the right question: immensely helpful. Merci. )
  6. (6:22:29 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": (When he was about 15. When he blinded himself and was used for different experiments, which led him to attempting suicide and being put on high doses of depression regulators that had hallucinogenic side effects and hadn't been tested on the blind yet. About that time, really.)
  7. (6:23:42 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": (Aussi: De rien.)
  8. (6:27:11 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( So what's kept you together? )
  9. (6:28:21 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( Or, you know, enough to fake it. )
  10. (6:33:36 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": (Involving himself with people enough that they could at least temporarily convince him he was a human being, and worth caring about, and no /less/ for his disability (and it /is/ a disability) and that he was more than just a tool used by Skaia to breed a new universe.)
  11. (6:35:06 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": (And then we replayed, and it was extensive shiny manipulation, and involving ourselves with Evan until we realized he didn't respect our gender. )
  12. (6:35:40 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( That fucker. )
  13. (6:37:01 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": (Well. Not everyone can be as understanding as most of the people here.)
  14. (6:38:10 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( No, it's more than that. But tangential, for now. )
  15. (6:39:37 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": ( Let's not speak ill of the dead. )
  16. (6:39:58 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( ...anything else I need to know about Abel right now? )
  17. (6:41:15 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": ( His life story is too long to detail in the time constraints we both have. )
  18. (6:41:27 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": ( Otherwise? Nothing we can think of right now. )
  19. (6:43:04 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Holy Shit You Need a Heart Player" ( Time constraints are, admittedly, not something I have much to worry about right now. )
  20. (6:43:38 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Holy Shit You Need a Heart Player" ( ...Is it appropriate to ask about Charta? )
  21. (6:43:56 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": ( What do you want to know about her? )
  22. (6:51:28 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( I'm...hm. Not sure, at the moment. I don't know what I need to know, and I wanted to see what you'd volunteer. )
  23. (6:52:02 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( But it occurs to me that this'd explain why you were more, ah, ambiguous when we first met. )
  24. (6:55:11 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel and Charta also, apparently?" ( That was in your Heart session, with Evan, right? )
  25. (6:55:11 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": ( There's more to it, but that was one of the reasons. )
  26. (6:57:41 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": ( That is correct, yes. My second session. )
  27. (7:03:18 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( Shoot. There's a question I'd really like answered, but I don't know where you'd get something with Heart quintessence. )
  28. (7:12:10 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( We've got a method to take shiny-snapshots, but you'd need...hm. You want to help me with an alchemy puzzle?)
  29. (7:13:20 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": ( Sure, why not? )
  30. (7:16:24 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": ( Just walk me through it, and tell me what to do. )
  31. (7:19:03 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( Awright. Have you got, or can you get, a physical copy of that image you passed around from last session? 'Tiered in Heart-hood, halfway through transition? )
  32. (7:19:59 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": (Of course. We still have it.)
  33. (7:20:27 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": (We also have a blood sample from then, if that would prove useful?)
  34. (7:24:10 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( Unsure. Blood's not as likely to code for the metaphysical. Can you || together that snapshot with a representation of the Heart glyph, and then take what you get out of it and && it together with something that can take pictures? )
  35. (7:24:48 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( Then I'll need the name of the camera or what-have-you that you end up making, and a snapshot of yourself to see if it worked. )
  36. (7:34:59 PM) ***unseeingAugur has sent ventricularPipefitter the file "Thisisapictureofmyshinyisn'tit.png"
  37. (7:37:48 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter has downloaded file "Thisisapictureofmyshinyisn'tit.png"
  38. (7:39:39 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( Yes, in fact, it is. Perhaps there's other ways to code them, but, well, the little piece of folklore's about cameras stealing souls, so... )
  39. (7:53:26 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": (Say something. Please. We can't stand listening to nothing when people are, well. Examining us.)
  40. (7:54:41 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( Got in a quick scrap, got distracted. And I'm not as good at this without my Native handy, but... )
  41. (7:58:17 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Abel" ( You look like two people that decided to be one person, then got burnt full of holes, trying to fix each yourselves up with pieces of the other person. )
  42. (8:00:44 PM) ***unseeingAugur PMs "Ross": ( We were burnt up first.And a lot of that was from the Sprite, Abel thinks. )
  43. (8:07:42 PM) unseeingAugur: You asked about the Sprite?
  44. (8:08:58 PM) ventricularPipefitter: I know it was prototyped with one of you. Your...dreamself?
  45. (8:09:12 PM) ventricularPipefitter: And then you Ascended, so it became relevant again.
  46. (8:10:56 PM) unseeingAugur: We... well. Abel. He didn't put anything into the Sprite pre-entry. None of the humans did, in our session.
  47. (8:11:07 PM) unseeingAugur: Abel's dreamself went into the Sprite.
  48. (8:11:50 PM) unseeingAugur: And then when Charta died, Player Abel threw Charta's corpse, while she was still fogging Abel, into Abelsprite.
  49. (8:11:57 PM) unseeingAugur: And then Abel tiered.
  50. (8:15:49 PM) ventricularPipefitter: That would explain the uncomfortable 'seeing triple' effect.
  51. (8:19:01 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Hr. And the rest....
  52.  
  53. (8:19:17 PM) ventricularPipefitter: [>Ross: Squint at photograph. Tap tooth. ]
  54.  
  55. (8:21:50 PM) unseeingAugur: Do you need a bigger image? I think I figured out how to make it focus better.
  56. (8:22:09 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Can't hurt.
  57.  
  58. (8:22:43 PM) unseeingAugur: [>Abel: Carefully orchestrate a few good snapshots.]
  59.  
  60. (8:22:45 PM) ventricularPipefitter: You've got...you had, rather, a lot of broken bridges. Tried to seal off Charta from Abel, yes?
  61. (8:23:10 PM) unseeingAugur: Most everywhere she tried to attach to him, yes.
  62. (8:23:23 PM) ***unseeingAugur has sent ventricularPipefitter the folder "shinyphotographs"
  63. (8:24:17 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter has accepted the folder "shinyphotographs"
  64.  
  65. (8:24:43 PM) ventricularPipefitter: [>Ross: Spot something uncomfortably familiar. ]
  66.  
  67. (8:25:44 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Ah. Hn. Do you know what you used? Or how you did it?
  68. (8:32:16 PM) unseeingAugur: Well. [Resolve], mostly. He stayed away from [Motivation], mostly, unless he was working cords around it to keep it from independently branching off... [Durability] and [Willpower] were the other two.
  69.  
  70. (10:08:16 PM) Zuki: Are you -sure- that's what you used to draw those lines of separation? It doesn't look like just [Resolve] to me.
  71. (10:08:21 PM) You are now known as ventricularPipefitter
  72.  
  73. (10:12:29 PM) unseeingAugur: [ >Abel: Look at it. Carefully. ]
  74.  
  75. (10:12:40 PM) unseeingAugur: "It... let me see if I can't..."
  76. (10:12:48 PM) unseeingAugur: Hmm.
  77. (10:13:28 PM) unseeingAugur: Have you figured out how to use an item from a specific frame of time to rewind when the shiny picture is from, or is that completely off the table for possibility?
  78. (10:20:56 PM) unseeingAugur: Because I can see what you're talking about, but I swear... Okay. Look at the fourth picture, in column F and row 3... That's the [Motivational Center]. It seems to have... shrank back, from whatever... What /is/ that?
  79. (10:20:57 PM) ventricularPipefitter: We haven't tried yet, actualy.
  80. (10:21:27 PM) ventricularPipefitter: And that's Knight Syndrome.
  81. (10:21:40 PM) unseeingAugur: ...
  82. (10:21:42 PM) unseeingAugur: Huh.
  83.  
  84. (10:23:24 PM) ventricularPipefitter: (( Incidentally, I would bet that Abel knows what Abel's looking at because he just did all this, not too long ago. Ross can read it because this isn't clearly a minor awesometier perk at all, and I have no idea if anyone else could make sense of the pictures. ))
  85.  
  86. (10:23:47 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Easy to mistake for chronic depression.
  87. (10:24:09 PM) ventricularPipefitter: , or so I'm noticing, when it sticks around longer than it should.
  88. (10:30:30 PM) unseeingAugur: That would... explain why it was so abundant. Also why we (re?)rolled Knight.
  89. (10:34:12 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Huh. Was probably meant to be a chance to clear it.
  90. (10:41:45 PM) ventricularPipefitter: You might get it again.
  91. (10:51:43 PM) unseeingAugur: It could also have been from the same glitch that gave him her land.
  92. (10:52:20 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Could be.
  93. (10:52:33 PM) unseeingAugur: Or it could have been from the effect it's having on our psyche. 'Those who will stop fighting, or who will lose the will to fight.'
  94. (10:53:26 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Take all of the above and put them together in a blender.
  95. (10:54:03 PM) unseeingAugur: Then discard it, because we're trying to rationalize why we got put in this situation and the game is glitched beyond comprehension.
  96. (10:54:44 PM) ventricularPipefitter: "What can you do about it?" being, in this case, a much more meaningful and /useful/ question.
  97. (10:57:59 PM) unseeingAugur: Well. Right now? Nothing. No heart player. Just try to cope. I've already stopped with the... well. With pretty much everything self-destructive, really.
  98. (10:58:51 PM) ventricularPipefitter: And a damn fine credit to yourself, that is.
  99. (11:00:59 PM) unseeingAugur: So. I've Shiny-fucked myself. Is there... anything else really notable about me? Other than the fact that there's... three of us, and.
  100. (11:01:01 PM) unseeingAugur: And so on.
  101. (11:04:55 PM) ventricularPipefitter: You'd be the first troll I've gotten to take a look at, this way. I might get some snaps of Yervoy and Lily, if I need some 'control' shots for 'basically psychologically healthy human and troll.'
  102. (11:05:23 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Beyond that? Bearing in mind that I'm not getting a third of the information I would if we were doing this properly? Hmmm...
  103. (11:11:05 PM) ventricularPipefitter: (( Hmm. A minor factoid. ))
  104. (11:11:18 PM) ventricularPipefitter: (( Maybe something wrong, maybe something right? ))
  105. (11:16:34 PM) ventricularPipefitter: You /really/ like licorice? Aaaand...hah, yes.
  106. (11:16:34 PM) ventricularPipefitter: You're doing a pretty good job getting used to the arm-and-leg. Rapid, that is.
  107. (11:17:17 PM) ventricularPipefitter: I don't expect they'd say, stick with you Dreaming, though.
  108. (11:17:39 PM) ventricularPipefitter: But that's just me telling you things you already knew, that I couldn't have.
  109. (11:19:00 PM) unseeingAugur: Ahaha, well, why do you think I like Voidblack so much?
  110. (11:19:29 PM) ventricularPipefitter: More a fan of a good Dark and Stormy, myself.
  111. (11:20:01 PM) ventricularPipefitter: (( That's spiced rum and a really strong, heated, ginger ale. ))
  112. (11:20:10 PM) ventricularPipefitter: You and Fret both, that stuff.
  113. (11:21:19 PM) unseeingAugur: It's delicious.
  114. (11:21:43 PM) unseeingAugur: Black as night and doesn't smell like it's going to knock you over but once you taste it~...
  115. (11:24:34 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Just not a vodka person, s'all. But it goes down smooth, I'll grant.
  116. (11:25:06 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Oh, I almost forgot
  117. (11:25:31 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter has sent folder "Ross'sSyllableMap" to unseeingAugur
  118. (11:31:04 PM) ***unseeingAugur has accepted the folder "Ross'sSyllableMap"
  119. (11:41:30 PM) unseeingAugur: Lessee. Oooh, you have a /great/ voice. The... how long did you listen to the cuts to make sure they were smooth? This barely needs processing at all.
  120. (3:34:54 PM) The account has disconnected and you are no longer in this chat. You will be automatically rejoined in the chat when the account reconnects.
  121. (7:56:52 PM) Zuki: (11:25:31 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter has sent folder "Ross'sSyllableMap" to unseeingAugur
  122. (7:56:52 PM) Zuki: (11:31:04 PM) ***unseeingAugur has accepted the folder "Ross'sSyllableMap"
  123. (7:56:52 PM) Zuki: (11:41:30 PM) unseeingAugur: Lessee. Oooh, you have a /great/ voice. The... how long did you listen to the cuts to make sure they were smooth? This barely needs processing at all.
  124. (7:57:08 PM) You are now known as ventricularPipefitter
  125. (7:57:10 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Smooth?
  126. (7:57:32 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Well, I did it over a second time or two to make sure it came out right.
  127. (8:07:36 PM) unseeingAugur: You can really tell. It's amazingly good quality. And, I'm pleased to inform you that whenever you message me, I'll hear my world's technology's best impersonation of you.
  128. (8:08:03 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Hah. Great to hear.
  129. (8:12:16 PM) unseeingAugur: You are, but it's not polite to brag~.
