  1. [16:57] <SM> Alright guys listen up
  2. [16:57] <UM> Yeah?
  3. [16:57] <SM> First of all, a serious question for Alex and a serious request for Tarane
  4. [16:58] <SM> The request depends on the answer, so let's do that first
  5. [16:58] <UM> Ok
  6. [16:58] <SM> Alex: I'm gonna sound insane no matter what the answer turns out to be, but for opposite reasons.
  7. [16:58] <UM> Hit me
  8. [16:58] <SM> Have we met in person? Was that a thing that happened?
  9. [16:58] <SM> I can't tell if there're teleportation shenanigans going on, or if proximity to Reggie has been screwing with my brain and I just hallucinated the whole thing.
  10. [16:58] <UM> Yeah
  11. [16:58] <UM> We met and you were nude and had weird eyes
  12. [16:59] <UM> And I was super charming
  13. [16:59] <UM> Of course
  14. [16:59] <SM> Naturally
  15. [16:59] <SM> :P
  16. [16:59] <SM> Nickolai mentioned that thing with my eyes
  17. [16:59] <SM> Anyway, Tarane: You don't need to send me the code for any clothing anymore
  18. [16:59] <frozenFire> You sure about that?
  19. [16:59] <SM> I'm good
  20. [16:59] <frozenFire> Also, you met Nick- oh right, he said he met you
  21. [17:00] <UM> That Dude gets around
  22. [17:00] <SM> Maybe carry an extra outfit around with you, but don't bother sending me anything
  23. [17:00] <SM> I get the weirdest feeling I'm going to end up paying you a visit the next time I get too comfortable with my current situation
  24. [17:00] == KE [[email protected]] has joined #Potatopancakeparty
  25. [17:00] <frozenFire> Shenanigans?
  26. [17:00] <SM> Shenanigans
  27. [17:01] <SM> Incidentally, that's also how my plan for dealing with Derse works
  28. [17:01] <UM> Shenanigans?
  29. [17:01] <SM> Shenanigans.
  30. [17:01] <UM> Awesome
  31. [17:01] <SM> Y'see, I figured it out
  32. [17:02] <SM> This place, this whole game, it's like the Drains. No matter what you do, it keep on wearing you down forever, grinding you away to nothing.
  33. [17:02] <SM> There is no respite, EVER. As soon as you think you've got a plan, or you think you've figured out how things work, it tosses in a non-sequitur and you're as helpless as you started out.
  34. [17:02] <UM> Good thing I never have a plan
  35. [17:02] <frozenFire> I have no idea what I'm doing
  36. [17:02] <frozenFire> I've just been chatting with people and getting info
  37. [17:03] <UM> I've been beating shit up
  38. [17:03] <SM> And what happens if you stop?
  39. [17:03] <SM> Stop chatting, stop fighting, what happens?
  40. [17:04] <frozenFire> ...Shenanigans?
  41. [17:04] <SM> Actually no.
  42. [17:04] <SM> Not really. You mostly just die.
  43. [17:05] <frozenFire> Welp I'm going to sit here chatting as much as I can then, don't mind me
  44. [17:05] <UM> How do I die by not fighting
  45. [17:05] <SM> Tarane, you're gonna hit Dunbar's Number eventually
  46. [17:05] <SM> Alex, you're gonna run out of grist and starve by being unable to alchemize food
  47. [17:06] <UM> Good point
  48. [17:06] <UM> Maybe I shouldn't have made that armor
  49. [17:06] <UM> Also I'm broke
  50. [17:06] <frozenFire> Well at least you have useful stuff
  51. [17:07] <frozenFire> Huh
  52. [17:07] <frozenFire> Faerzen apparently says we can overlap two cards and they'll combine, like doublepunching them
  53. [17:07] <frozenFire> But slightly differently
  54. [17:07] <SM> Yeah, item combining is a thing
  55. [17:07] <frozenFire> Well, yeah
  56. [17:07] <frozenFire> I just didn't realise there were two methods
  57. [17:08] <SM> Well yeah
  58. [17:08] <UM> I think I may have done that on accident
  59. [17:08] <SM> Okay we're getting off topic here
  60. [17:08] <SM> Tarane, figure out what you're gonna do when you run out of info to gather
  61. [17:08] <frozenFire> Probably hunt down more imps
  62. [17:08] <SM> Alex, figure out a way to NOT risk your life every time you want a snack
  63. [17:09] <UM> I can continue my garden
  64. [17:09] <UM> Maybe
  65. [17:09] <SM> Okay
  66. [17:09] <SM> And above all, both of you, don't ever have a plan
  67. [17:09] <SM> Expect to die horribly or suffer even more horribly
  68. [17:10] <SM> So yeah, now the hunting and gardens won't work
  69. [17:10] <SM> Sorry 'bout that
  70. [17:10] <frozenFire> So
  71. [17:10] <frozenFire> I'm just supposed to
  72. [17:10] <frozenFire> Walk out there
  73. [17:10] <frozenFire> Hope I don't die
  74. [17:10] <UM> ;-; my beautiful plants
  75. [17:10] <frozenFire> And do something completely random
  76. [17:10] <SM> YES
  77. [17:10] <frozenFire> This is going to go so well
  78. [17:10] <SM> Better than wasting away
  79. [17:11] <SM> That also ties into the thing with Derse and Prospit
  80. [17:11] <SM> Whatever you guys do, don't you dare come rescue me
  81. [17:11] <UM> What
  82. [17:11] <SM> I MEAN IT.
  83. [17:11] <UM> Why
  84. [17:12] <SM> Because plans don't work.
  85. [17:12] <SM> Hope, an idea of how you'll go forward, just doesn't happen
  86. [17:12] <UM> What if I just...
  87. [17:12] <UM> Hit stuff
  88. [17:12] <UM> While I was there
  89. [17:13] <UM> And tried to make a small effort to find you
  90. [17:13] <SM> Okay if you ever do, don't let me know about it
  91. [17:13] <SM> And since now I do, it won't work
  92. [17:13] <SM> I have to be 100% CERTAIN that no rescue is coming, alright?
  93. [17:14] <UM> Yeah I guess
  94. [17:14] <frozenFire> I solemnly swear not to alert you if any plans to rescue you are imminent
  95. [17:14] <SM> Not good enough
  96. [17:15] <SM> Just don't mount any
  97. [17:15] <frozenFire> No promises there
  98. [17:15] <frozenFire> Urgh
  99. [17:15] <SM> If something would work, it won't. I'm gonna pull a Lord Soth, try and mope my way out
  100. [17:15] <frozenFire> Our team needs more luck
  101. [17:15] <UM> My luck is fine
  102. [17:15] <UM> Prospit is nice
  103. [17:16] <frozenFire> You're really making it difficult for me to do stuff now, since apparently I can't plan
  104. [17:17] <frozenFire> But I'll try not to incur the wrath of the Beings Who Created This Bloody Game
  105. [17:18] <SM> Need to stay reactive. Don't fight back, roll with the punches
  106. [17:18] <SM> Which means that as soon as there's no possible way I'm getting rescued, as soon as I'm able to accept what goes on in Derse, I'll be sent elsewhere.
  107. [17:18] <SM> And that means I need to know that there is absolutely 0% chance of you guys coming to get me.
  108. [17:18] <UM> Isn't that a plan
  109. [17:18] <UM> Not planning
  110. [17:19] <UM> Shit I'm confused
  111. [17:19] <frozenFire> I appear to have a lack of tables which I can safely flip
  112. [17:19] <SM> I think this plan doesn't count
  113. [17:19] <SM> Because it won't work anyway
  114. [17:20] <UM> So suicide missions don't count?
  115. [17:20] <UM> Hmm
  116. [17:20] <SM> Not suicide so much as impossible
  117. [17:21] <SM> Like you planning on using your Imp Ranch to get that grist for food
  118. [17:21] <UM> Imp ranch?
  119. [17:21] <SM> Or Tarane relying on a guardian angel to keep her going
  120. [17:21] <frozenFire> He hasn't actually done anything (no offense Alex) so there's that
  121. [17:21] <SM> Or me expecting the queen to keel over, stone dead
  122. [17:21] <frozenFire> In other news, do you guys happen to have the code for a portable computer?
  123. [17:22] * SM gives Tarane the code for [Lyra's Laptop]
  124. [17:22] <frozenFire> Thanks
  125. [17:22] <UM> I just bring around my laptop
  126. [17:23] <frozenFire> I only have an old-fashioned desktop computer
  127. [17:23] <frozenFire> A laptop would probably have been easier to borrow though
  128. [17:24] <UM> Does anyone know what these lizards are supposed to do?
  129. [17:25] <SM> They're NPCs, according to Reg and Kek. They give you sidequests.
  130. [17:26] <UM> Maybe fighting stuff
  131. [17:26] <UM> I WONT PLAN to go check those guys out
  132. [17:27] <SM> Okay, do that
  133. [17:27] <SM> Just remember, you guys
  134. [17:27] <SM> I need to be 100% certain there will be no rescue
  135. [17:27] <frozenFire> There won't be
  136. [17:28] <frozenFire> In other news, Faerzen might contact you soon
  137. [17:28] <UM> Faerzen is a lucky guy
  138. [17:28] <SM> So let it be officially stated that if you succeed in saving me, I will slit your throat in your sleep.
  139. [17:28] <SM> Followed shortly by my own throat
  140. [17:29] <frozenFire> Glad to see how much you value our lives, Lyra
  141. [17:29] <SM> Success means I TPK us. Failure means the Queen gets us and we're in worse than a TPK.
  142. [17:29] <SM> So DON'T DO IT
  143. [17:29] <frozenFire> Shoot that reminds me
  144. [17:29] <frozenFire> Reviving doesn't actually work in this game
  145. [17:29] <SM> Wait what
  146. [17:29] <frozenFire> Unless you happen to find a slab of rock with bedposts
  147. [17:30] <SM> You sure?
  148. [17:30] <frozenFire> I asked Byron
  149. [17:30] <frozenFire> And Nick
  150. [17:30] <UM> What do we do when we find the bedrock
  151. [17:30] <UM> Bed rock
  152. [17:30] <UM> Bedpost rock
  153. [17:30] <frozenFire> You die upon it
  154. [17:30] <frozenFire> And then gain flight
  155. [17:30] <frozenFire> Or something like that
  156. [17:31] <SM> Huh
  157. [17:31] <SM> Well alright
  158. [17:31] <SM> Admittedly, flying would be pretty great
  159. [17:31] <UM> I guess dying there would be acceptable then
  160. [17:31] <frozenFire> Hey Lyra, which body is Nick carrying to your server's land?
  161. [17:31] <frozenFire> Your original one, right?
  162. [17:31] <SM> The one on cliff planet, yeah
  163. [17:32] <frozenFire> Ok, cool
  164. [17:32] <SM> Why does it matter?
  165. [17:32] <UM> I have a corpse in my room still
  166. [17:32] <UM> What's up with that
  167. [17:32] <frozenFire> Talking to Faerzen, clearing up things we know/don't know
  168. [17:36] <SM> Okay so what, the bed acts as a respawn point?
  169. [17:37] <SM> Or you just regenerate when you're lying on it?
  170. [17:38] <frozenFire> From what I've heard, you die on the slab, gain flight, lose whatever you're wearing, and respawn
  171. [17:38] <SM> Oh of course
  172. [17:38] <SM> Can't forget the random loss of clothing
  173. [17:38] <frozenFire> No-one has a single clue what happens
  174. [17:38] <frozenFire> Why it happens
  175. [17:38] <frozenFire> Specifics, etc
  176. [17:38] <SM> Of course we don't
  177. [17:38] <SM> Knowing would be too much of a comfort for the game to let that happen
  178. [17:39] <SM> Can't have that
  179. [17:40] <SM> Alright, I've gotta go kick some teeth in. Anything else you guys need from me?
  180. [17:40] <frozenFire> Mmm
  181. [17:40] <frozenFire> Try to find out their handle so I can verbally abuse them after you physically abuse them
  182. [17:40] <frozenFire> Sound good?
  183. [17:40] <SM> Gotcha
  184. [17:40] <SM> Alex? Anything else to add?
  185. [17:42] <UM> No
  186. [17:42] * UM has left the memo
  187. [17:43] <frozenFire> Anyways I'm going to go have no plans
  188. [17:43] <frozenFire> Bye
  189. [17:43] * frozenFire has left the memo
