Peter meets Myujia, Odie, and Darwin

[21:18] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> ===== BEGIN =====
[21:18]  * zashchitnikNevinovnym [ZN] began pestering accelerandoHeroine [AH]
[21:18] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> .
[21:18] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> ... Did that actually send?
[21:18] <accelerandoHeroine> Huh? Oh hello!
[21:18] <accelerandoHeroine> I believe your chords have reached me
[21:19] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> So it did.
[21:19] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> So sorry to interrupt, but you'll never believe where I found your address.
[21:19] <accelerandoHeroine> Well greetings! Who am I singing to?
[21:20] <accelerandoHeroine> Hmmm...from an adoring fan of mine?
[21:20] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Not... exactly?
[21:20] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> My name is Peter.  And yourself?
[21:20] <pesticideAntagonist> (give me just a few mins and ill be set)
[21:21] <accelerandoHeroine> My name is Myujia.
[21:21] <accelerandoHeroine> It's a pleasure to meet you
[21:21] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> And you, I suppose.
[21:22] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Can I ask where you're from?
[21:22] <accelerandoHeroine> Of course! Altarnia.
[21:23] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> And where is Altarnia?
[21:23] == pesticideAntagonist [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client]
[21:23] <accelerandoHeroine> That I would not know cutie, space as far as I am concerned. What about you?
[21:23] <accelerandoHeroine> Considering my other computer isn't picking this up...
[21:23] <accelerandoHeroine> Your from another world
[21:24] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I could say the same of you.
[21:24] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Alien is relative.
[21:24] <accelerandoHeroine> Indeed. My species name is Troll
[21:25] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Human.
[21:25] == pesticideAntagonist- [[email protected]] has joined #Rpgstuck_Null
[21:25] <accelerandoHeroine> Wait
[21:25] <accelerandoHeroine> Human?
[21:25] == pesticideAntagonist- has changed nick to pesticideAntagonist
[21:25] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> That's right.
[21:25] <accelerandoHeroine> Hold on
[21:25] <accelerandoHeroine> There's somebody you need to meet
[21:25] <pesticideAntagonist> (firefox stopped listening to my inputs im ok now)
[21:26] <accelerandoHeroine> Myujia turned to her friend Odie, who was probably looking over her shoulder "Odie, connect to my computer. You need to sing with this musician"
[21:26] <pesticideAntagonist> (am i like typing on their computer lol)
[21:26] <accelerandoHeroine> [Nah probably just hooked up a labtop]
[21:27] <pesticideAntagonist> (...im not sure how a pester message works without a memo)
[21:27] <pesticideAntagonist> (or is this in real)
[21:27] <accelerandoHeroine> [I got this]
[21:27] <pesticideAntagonist> (is it?)
[21:28] <accelerandoHeroine> PRESENT Myujia opened up a Memo and invited added pesticideAntagonist and zashchitnikNevinovnym
[21:28] <accelerandoHeroine> Odie, meet Peter.
[21:28] <pesticideAntagonist> >> a memo works. i was wondering what to do with that. hi peter.
[21:28] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> The pleasure is all mine.
[21:29] <accelerandoHeroine> Odie lives with me Alternia, he's not a troll
[21:29] <accelerandoHeroine> me on*
[21:29] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Alright.  So what is he?
[21:29] <accelerandoHeroine> You don't have horns right? no colored blood?
[21:29] <accelerandoHeroine> er, candy red blood?
[21:29] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Red is a colour.
[21:30] <pesticideAntagonist> >> i am a troll, right myu?
[21:30] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I wouldn't call it candy, but it's red.
[21:30] <pesticideAntagonist> ** In real life, he dons plastic horns and faces Muy with a sort of laugh to go with it
[21:31] <accelerandoHeroine> Okay, skin color? no horns?
[21:31] <pesticideAntagonist> "See? I am quite clearly a troll."
[21:31] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Somewhat pinkish.  And no, no horns.
[21:32] <accelerandoHeroine> Really? Sings like you Odie.
[21:32] <accelerandoHeroine> Well, I guess I should explain.
[21:32] <accelerandoHeroine> Trolls have horns, grey skin, and different blood colors
[21:32] <accelerandoHeroine> Mine is cerulean
[21:32] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> And speak English.
[21:33] <pesticideAntagonist> >> but trollian is so much better. i am odie, a human.
[21:33] <accelerandoHeroine> english? you mean trollian?
[21:33] <accelerandoHeroine> ...I suppose language titles don't matter if we can communicate
[21:34] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Mozhete li vy do sikh por chitayete eto?
[21:34] <accelerandoHeroine> ...I understood none of your notes
[21:34] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Only English, then.  Fascinating.
[21:34] <pesticideAntagonist> >> you tried, you really tried.
[21:35] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Odie, are you from Earth, by any chance?
[21:36] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Before Altarnia?
[21:36] <pesticideAntagonist> >> i used to be, so yes, i was taken here after being abandoned though.
[21:37] <pesticideAntagonist> >> i like this planet more though.
[21:37] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Fascinating.
[21:37] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> And you've always spoken... "Trollian"?
[21:39] <pesticideAntagonist> >> yeah. but i can't really type it out. myu, where is that language key! i keep forgetting
[21:39] <accelerandoHeroine> It's right there Odie! 1st row 3rd key
[21:40] <accelerandoHeroine> Honestly if it wasn't quartet Odie's...guardian I don't know how he would have survived
[21:40] <pesticideAntagonist> ok ok i got it
[21:41] <pesticideAntagonist> ** Odie proceeds to type out stuff, it shows up as squares on zash's typical human computer.
[21:42] <pesticideAntagonist> did you get that?
[21:42] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Incompatible symbols.  Nothing my computer can read.
[21:42] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> But it's curious you have two alphabets.
[21:43] <pesticideAntagonist> uhh... let me try and take a picture of it
[21:43] == Null_ [[email protected]] has quit [Ping timeout: 195 seconds]
[21:44] <accelerandoHeroine> This 'english' alphabet is normally solo used quartet internet chat rooms
[21:45] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Excuse me?
[21:46] <accelerandoHeroine> The alphabet we're using is used quartet the internet alone. Our other alphabet is used for everything else
[21:46] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I see.  Interesting.
[21:47] <accelerandoHeroine> So, tell me about yourself Peter.
[21:47] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Well.
[21:47] <pesticideAntagonist> i almost got it
[21:48] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> My name is Peter.
[21:49] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I've lived for about sixteen years on my world, though I don't know how that would translate to years in yours.  Late adolescence?
[21:49] <accelerandoHeroine> sixteen...
[21:49] <accelerandoHeroine> years?
[21:49] <accelerandoHeroine> What is a year?
[21:49] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> One year is the time it takes for the planet to orbit our star.
[21:49] <accelerandoHeroine> I'm only 7 solar sweeps.
[21:50] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Solar sweeps, alright.  Different terminology, there.
[21:50] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Seeing as our two planets presmably have different orbiting speeds, about what state would that put you, biologically?
[21:50] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Seven on my world is only a child.
[21:50] <accelerandoHeroine> Late adolescence.
[21:51] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Interesting coincidence.
[21:51] <accelerandoHeroine> Extremely! Odie did you find the print screen button?
[21:51] <pesticideAntagonist> http://puu.sh/rVTOr/c48c1cfe0b.png ok
[21:51] <pesticideAntagonist> it can do it see see
[21:52] <accelerandoHeroine> Great!
[21:52] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Interesting.  An entirely new alphabet... you say it's only for offline use?
[21:53] <accelerandoHeroine> Indeed.
[21:53] <accelerandoHeroine> Most of my albums have a title with both alphabets
[21:53] <pesticideAntagonist> i found it thanks. it took a while, i had it all ready
[21:53] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> So your society has adapted their entire language around online communication.
[21:54] <pesticideAntagonist> we don't use our main character often...
[21:54] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> That, in addition to being able to transmit interplanetary data, speaks volumes about your technological status.
[21:54] <accelerandoHeroine> Hmm...I would say it's more based around conquest and the hemospectrum.
[21:55] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Conquest, I see.
[21:55] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> You haven't made it past the great filter yet either.
[21:55] <accelerandoHeroine> Although don't worry, your friendly heroine and musical is kind and beautiful ;)
[21:55] <pesticideAntagonist> yeah. we may be one race but we have multiple variants from evolution
[21:55] <pesticideAntagonist> here
[21:56] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I highly doubt our species would share any remotely similar standards for beauty, but I'll take your word for it.
[21:56] <accelerandoHeroine> I think Odie can vouch for my beauty
[21:56] <pesticideAntagonist> beauty. what is beauty
[21:57] <pesticideAntagonist> myu is great
[21:57] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> What would these variants be identifiable by, if I might ask?
[21:57] <accelerandoHeroine> Blood color
[21:57] <pesticideAntagonist> blodo color
[21:57] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Ah.
[21:57] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Like cerulean.
[21:58] <accelerandoHeroine> The colors our blood can be are: red, orange, yellow, lime, green, teal, cerulean, blue, purple, violent, and fuchsia
[21:58] <pesticideAntagonist> because of how colors were handled and treated, each race got their own characteristics to make then survive more
[21:58] <accelerandoHeroine> From left to right is our social hierarchy from lowest caste to highest
[21:58] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Quite the variety.  In my world, the shades of skin are-
[21:58] <accelerandoHeroine> Those higher up are more durable than the lower but less populated
[21:58] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I'm sorry, could you repeat that?
[21:58] <accelerandoHeroine> Sure.
[21:58] <pesticideAntagonist> the violet end of the spectrum were a more dominant variant so they became strong
[21:59] <accelerandoHeroine> The colors our blood can be are: red, orange, yellow, lime, green, teal, cerulean, blue, purple, violent, and fuchsia
[21:59] <pesticideAntagonist> the other end has pretty smart people
[21:59] <accelerandoHeroine> I'm a cerulean so I am almost a high pitched blood
[21:59] <pesticideAntagonist> have to thank myu for history lessons sometimes
[21:59] <accelerandoHeroine> but not quite
[21:59] <accelerandoHeroine> Anytime Odie
[21:59] <pesticideAntagonist> because i messed it up
[21:59] <pesticideAntagonist> too much
[21:59] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> That seems reasonable.  It's quite a list to memorize.
[21:59] <pesticideAntagonist> i used to be a disgrace wasn't i
[22:00] <accelerandoHeroine> I remember when you thought Chiota was a high pitched blood
[22:00] <pesticideAntagonist> what was i  three back then
[22:00] <pesticideAntagonist> and now youre 7 and im 5 and half
[22:00] <pesticideAntagonist> k ok more like 5
[22:00] <accelerandoHeroine> haha. Yes something like that
[22:01] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Just to confirm I'm doing my math right.
[22:01] <pesticideAntagonist> just because youre older doesn't mean you're immune you know
[22:01] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Odie is an early adolescent?
[22:03] <pesticideAntagonist> yes i have seen myu for a long time, almost as long as my lusus has
[22:03] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Lusus.  I don't know this word.
[22:03] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Would you mind explaining?
[22:03] <accelerandoHeroine> He's 5 sweeps so yes
[22:03] <accelerandoHeroine> Of course!
[22:04] <accelerandoHeroine> Lusus is a subterrean monster that when us trolls finish our trial as grubs we are selected to be raised by one
[22:04] <accelerandoHeroine> Mine is a Siren Lamia
[22:04] <accelerandoHeroine> They function as a sort of custodian for young trolls, obtaining food for them while us trolls serve as zoo keepers
[22:05] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I understand, I think.
[22:06] <pesticideAntagonist> who takes care of you?
[22:06] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> My tetya.
[22:06] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> An older human.
[22:07] <accelerandoHeroine> That's quite strange...similar to your situation, Odie
[22:07] <pesticideAntagonist> a tetya
[22:07] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> My father's sister.
[22:07] <pesticideAntagonist> oh
[22:08] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I'm quite curious about this trial, though.  And the meaning of grubs in this context.
[22:08] <accelerandoHeroine> grubs are trolls after we hatch from the grub mother...honestly I don't remember the trial at all...
[22:09] <accelerandoHeroine> I know I harmonized and survived
[22:10] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I see.  So trolls are a metamorphosis-based species?  They change forms throughout their lifetime?
[22:10] <pesticideAntagonist> yes
[22:10] <pesticideAntagonist> chi still has yet to fully grow remember myu
[22:11] <accelerandoHeroine> Yes we start out as little wrigglers and than cocoon into a bipedal form, similar to a human.
[22:11] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Chi being Chiota, yes?
[22:12] <accelerandoHeroine> Yes!
[22:12] <pesticideAntagonist> yes
[22:12] <accelerandoHeroine> My moirail
[22:12] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> ... Another explanation, if you don't mind?
[22:12] <pesticideAntagonist> if you thought you would have it hard with the blood colors why don't we talk about blood types
[22:12] <pesticideAntagonist> (whoops lemme redo that line)
[22:12] <pesticideAntagonist> if you thought you would have it hard with the blood colors why don't we talk about quadrants!
[22:12] <pesticideAntagonist> that's a laugh and a half.
[22:13] <accelerandoHeroine> They aren't that difficult Odie
[22:13] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I'll start taking notes.
[22:13] <pesticideAntagonist> i know.
[22:13] <accelerandoHeroine> Allow me to explain, Troll Romance is experienced in 4 different ways called quadrants
[22:14] <accelerandoHeroine> Divided between Red Romance, which is centered around positive feelings, and Black Romance, which is centered around negative feelings. And than separated again based on concupiscent and conciliatory
[22:14] <pesticideAntagonist> http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/mspaintadventures/images/2/23/Quadrant_diagram.gif here is a diagrm for your reference
[22:15] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Alright...
[22:15] <accelerandoHeroine> I'll start with the heart, trolls that fall under here are called matespirits. This is the quadrant associated with strong romantic feelings that lead to a wonderful life of love and passion! The fires of their love fuel their ambition as they want to be ever so close to each other, and the hero BRAVELY goes out for the one he or she loves!
[22:16] <pesticideAntagonist> heart is like human romance so you have that
[22:16] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Indeed.
[22:16] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> It sounds familiar so far.
[22:17] <accelerandoHeroine> Ahem, the next is the diamond which when trolls fall under here they are called Moirails, it's a relationship that is positively charged but is centered around balancing each other out. For example with Chiota and I, Chiota tends to go into rages and I calm her down while she stops me from doing something extremely HEROIC sometimes.
[22:17] <accelerandoHeroine> Odie has attributed this to 'best friends that stop one another from going too far'
[22:17] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I see.
[22:17] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Conciliatory indeed.
[22:17] <pesticideAntagonist> i am the best diamond
[22:18] <accelerandoHeroine> Next is the ashen quarters. I'll get to the Spade later, as this gave Odie a lot of trouble
[22:18] <accelerandoHeroine> The Club is similar to Moirails except it involves 3 parties. The 3rd part acts a moderator to prevent two trolls whom hate each other from going too far and severely harming one another
[22:19] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Simple enough.
[22:19] <accelerandoHeroine> It can also factor into love triangles
[22:19] <accelerandoHeroine> And lastly, is the Spades
[22:19] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Oh dear.
[22:20] <pesticideAntagonist> yes, a spade could turn into a club, and a partner and the third could push together and become a diamond, and the diamond could break into space with the original two in a vicious cycle
[22:20] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I'm just now realizing what a nightmare such a complicated reproductive system would have on relationships stabilizing between more than two partners.
[22:20] <accelerandoHeroine> the Spades is known as 'kismesis' this is a the quadrant centered around romantic negative feelings that lead to a life of hating each other but at the same time finding sexual attraction to one annother based on a quality you may like, but hate them otherwise
[22:20] <accelerandoHeroine> ...Let's not talk about...
[22:21] <accelerandoHeroine> Baskets
[22:21] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Baskets?
[22:21] <pesticideAntagonist> but he had to know
[22:21] <pesticideAntagonist> he HAD to know
[22:21] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I'm sorry, what exactly is it I had to know?
[22:21] <accelerandoHeroine> Odie, come on. Have a little chivalry not to talk about that with a lady!
[22:21] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I am not a lady.
[22:21] <pesticideAntagonist> yeah, okay
[22:22] <accelerandoHeroine> I meant me
[22:22] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Poor choice of words then, but alright.
[22:22] <pesticideAntagonist> nuh uh. no "basket"s
[22:22] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Is that what happens when these quadrants don't match up perfectly?
[22:22] <accelerandoHeroine> No!
[22:23] <accelerandoHeroine> Well, troll romance often bleeds into the quadrants
[22:23] <accelerandoHeroine> or switches quite rapidly!
[22:23] <pesticideAntagonist> like i mentioned earlier in my cycle example
[22:23] <pesticideAntagonist> there can be even larger systems
[22:23] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Chain reactions.
[22:23] <accelerandoHeroine> Oh how I long to have days of romance! Maybe I'll find my prince soon ;D
[22:24] <accelerandoHeroine> Yes
[22:25] <pesticideAntagonist> let's start with a simple example
[22:25] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Please.
[22:27] <pesticideAntagonist> the most common example, is when a spade and a club switch between each other. it's easy. you add a mediator troll to a spade, it becomes a club the club is the most unstable one
[22:28] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Makes sense.
[22:28] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I suppose a heart and diamond would also be quite simple to alternate between?
[22:29] <pesticideAntagonist> yes, it can be. but sometimes there is not always a mediator
[22:29] <accelerandoHeroine> There are also cases of trolls switching between heart and spade
[22:29] <pesticideAntagonist> two trolls may be in a diamond formation, and another one enters, takes care of the two, it becomes a club. then the mediator likes one of the other trolls a lot, the remainder troll is ejected from the system and it becomes heart
[22:30] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Wait.
[22:30] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> How would one turn a diamond into a club?
[22:30] <pesticideAntagonist> you add a mediator
[22:30] <accelerandoHeroine> If the moirails begin fighting and somebody stepped in
[22:30] <accelerandoHeroine> It would be a club
[22:30] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> If they are already holding one another back, what would-
[22:30] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Ah.
[22:31] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> So a brief switch into a spade.
[22:31] <pesticideAntagonist> that can happen when a heart pair gets mad at one another. they still love one another, b ut dislike each other's guts
[22:31] <pesticideAntagonist> and that's how you turn a heart into a spade
[22:31] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Heh.  Makes sense.
[22:32] <accelerandoHeroine> It's very volatile, troll romance.
[22:32] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> It sounds like.
[22:32] <pesticideAntagonist> oh it is
[22:32] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Most of my species simple put it all under the umbrella of "love".
[22:32] <pesticideAntagonist> i've seen someone go black for dar, it wasn't pretty
[22:33] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Dar?
[22:33] <pesticideAntagonist> darwin
[22:33] <accelerandoHeroine> That is very peculiar and ah, dar is another friend of ours
[22:33] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I see.
[22:33] <accelerandoHeroine> She is a violet troll, one of the two castes who can swim underwater
[22:34] <pesticideAntagonist> she isn't very talkative
[22:34] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> My first interpretation was inaccurate, I see.  These castes really are entirely different species, aren't they?
[22:34] <pesticideAntagonist> yes they are
[22:34] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Fascinating.
[22:34] <pesticideAntagonist> one species can shoot lasers out of their eyes
[22:34] <accelerandoHeroine> Extremely different
[22:35] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Most of humankind's close relatives died out thousands of years ago.
[22:35] <accelerandoHeroine> The biggest difference that is noticeable physically is durability
[22:35] <accelerandoHeroine> Higher pitched casts have higher durable
[22:35] <accelerandoHeroine> and ah yes
[22:35] <accelerandoHeroine> Psionics
[22:35] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> ... Psionics.
[22:35] <accelerandoHeroine> Yes, do humans have any?
[22:35] <accelerandoHeroine> Odie hasn't shown any potential for it
[22:35] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Well, no.
[22:35] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Not to my knowledge.
[22:36] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> A cursory search, in fact, turns up the explicit fact that "There is no scientific evidence that psionic abilities exist."
[22:36] <accelerandoHeroine> They do.
[22:36] <accelerandoHeroine> In fact I am a user of it
[22:36] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I suspect another search would say the same for aliens.
[22:36] <accelerandoHeroine> Although...humans are...werid
[22:37] <accelerandoHeroine> I have attempted to make Odie do things...but...his mind is resillent
[22:37] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Excuse me?
[22:37] <pesticideAntagonist> don't try it again please
[22:37] <pesticideAntagonist> i don't think i can do what you guys do there
[22:37] <pesticideAntagonist> i know you tried teaching me but
[22:38] == gG- [[email protected]] has joined #Rpgstuck_Null
[22:38] == gG- has changed nick to gG
[22:38] <accelerandoHeroine> Yes when I attempted to do something to Odie, I couldn't.
[22:38] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> What exactly do you mean by "make [him] do things?"
[22:38] <accelerandoHeroine> Well...allow me to explain
[22:39] <accelerandoHeroine> I have 2 psionic powers, electrokinesis and Dominate Mind
[22:39] <accelerandoHeroine> I use the later mostly to stop my moirail when she gets discorded
[22:39] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> And the latter doesn't work on Odie because of his comparatively alien mind.
[22:39] <accelerandoHeroine> Yes.
[22:40] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I see.
[22:40] <accelerandoHeroine> Chiota is very easy to me, but Odie...
[22:40] <accelerandoHeroine> Odie just simply can't be touched
[22:40] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Well, you and Chiota are... close.  I suppose I can understand that being an easier step to take than something so foreign.
[22:41] <accelerandoHeroine> Lower castes are easier to influence with psionics, and even more so if they know psionics
[22:41] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Just as any human doctors would certainly have a nightmare trying to help a wounded troll.
[22:41] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I see.  Another difference between the castes.
[22:41] <accelerandoHeroine> Yes, but lower castes are better at psionics
[22:41] <pesticideAntagonist> smarter
[22:41] <accelerandoHeroine> I'm mid cast
[22:41] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I imagine they would have to be.
[22:42] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Nearly high, you said.
[22:42] <accelerandoHeroine> Indeed
[22:42] <accelerandoHeroine> The caste a pitch higher than mine is Blue High Blood
[22:43] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Funny.  On Earth, there's a saying that refers to nobility as "bluebloods".
[22:43] <accelerandoHeroine> Really? well Blue Bloods aren't even our ruling class
[22:43] <accelerandoHeroine> Fuchsias are
[22:44] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Right, yes.
[22:44] <pesticideAntagonist> darwin is the closest we have to that
[22:44] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Amphibious as well?
[22:44] <accelerandoHeroine> Yes
[22:45] <accelerandoHeroine> Violet and Fuchsia are both amphibious
[22:45] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Interesting.
[22:45] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> And they both still follow the pattern of increasing physical ability with decreasing mental ability?
[22:45] <pesticideAntagonist> usually. though somehow darwin is incredible with computers
[22:46] <accelerandoHeroine> Fuchsias have unique properties...I've heard legends of them stealing psionics
[22:46] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Is that so?
[22:46] <accelerandoHeroine> They are legends, but I've heard of them
[22:46] <pesticideAntagonist> you got that out of a grubby book didn't you
[22:46] <accelerandoHeroine> You can't prove anything, Odie
[22:47] <pesticideAntagonist> but you're holding a book right there
[22:47] <accelerandoHeroine> This is my song notebook
[22:47] <pesticideAntagonist> aaaaaagh it's still a book
[22:48] <accelerandoHeroine> (Ha! :3) Well you have me there
[22:48] <pesticideAntagonist> let's get on with the explanation
[22:48] <accelerandoHeroine> of psionics?
[22:49] <pesticideAntagonist> yes
[22:49] <accelerandoHeroine> Ah well...they are powers manifested from our mines, for example I can charge Odie's portable handheld with my electrokinesis
[22:49] <pesticideAntagonist> better you than me... i'm going to go prepare something
[22:49] <pesticideAntagonist> i can- hey
[22:49] <pesticideAntagonist> ttwowt
[22:49] <pesticideAntagonist> that's not funny, don't move the keyboard
[22:50] <accelerandoHeroine> Hehe.
[22:50] <pesticideAntagonist> i need that.
[22:50] <pesticideAntagonist> to type.
[22:50] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Typing does tend to be difficult without a keyboard, in my experience.
[22:51] <pesticideAntagonist> ** At this point, Odie's keyboard is floating around everywhere, Odie trying to grab it for a while.
[22:52] <accelerandoHeroine> Extremely so
[22:52] <pesticideAntagonist> tf49
[22:52] <accelerandoHeroine> Any particular questions about psionics?
[22:52] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Hundreds.
[22:52] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> How do they work?
[22:53] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I could understand the mental compulsion being pheremones, and your body producing electricity wouldn't be unreasonable either.
[22:53] <accelerandoHeroine> So those born with psionics normally have an affinity for a certain kind, by concentrating and focusing you can manifest it
[22:53] <pesticideAntagonist> ad qtqoh my god myu
[22:53] <pesticideAntagonist> that's really not funny right now
[22:53] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> But actually moving his keyboard implies an absolutely ridiculous amount of finesse.
[22:53] <accelerandoHeroine> Okay, I'll stop.
[22:53] <accelerandoHeroine> Actually...telekinesis is rather difficult for me
[22:54] <pesticideAntagonist> you say that all the time
[22:54] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Telekinesis.
[22:54] <accelerandoHeroine> Electrokinesis and Mind Domination are much easier
[22:54] <accelerandoHeroine> Yes, the ability to move things with my mine
[22:54] <accelerandoHeroine> mind*
[22:54] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I know what it means.
[22:54] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> But I don't know how it's possible.
[22:55] <accelerandoHeroine> Well could give it a try
[22:55] <accelerandoHeroine> Took me some time before I was able to shock anything, I ended up frying Odie's hat the first time
[22:56] <pesticideAntagonist> ** Odie meanwhile was pressing random keys on the piano for fun
[22:56] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I suppose sufficiently-advanced microbiological processes wouldn't be unbelievable.
[22:56] <pesticideAntagonist> that was my favorite hat mind you!
[22:57] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Or rather, wouldn't be any less believable than alien life that already has at least one human on their planet.
[22:57] <accelerandoHeroine> I'm sorry Odie! I didn't mean it!
[22:57] <pesticideAntagonist> it's okay
[22:57] <pesticideAntagonist> i am happy making my own music
[22:57] <accelerandoHeroine> Well, we're real! So who knows maybe you can use psionics.
[22:58] <pesticideAntagonist> i call it "when a grub rolls along the keyboard"
[22:58] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I most certainly cannot.
[22:59] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Humans don't ever wind up with the ability to produce electricity inside their bodies, nor pheremone production on such a scale as to outright control one another.
[22:59] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Telekinesis is just right out.
[22:59] <pesticideAntagonist> telekinesis is the most basic form
[22:59] <pesticideAntagonist> wait no
[22:59] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> That doesn't make any sense.
[22:59] <pesticideAntagonist> that's eletrolosys
[22:59] <accelerandoHeroine> There are other psionics
[23:00] <accelerandoHeroine> Animal Control, Empathic, Pyrokinesis...
[23:01] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Pyrokinesis?
[23:01] <accelerandoHeroine> Indeed. I can't use that one myself
[23:01] <accelerandoHeroine> But I've seen some red bloods use it
[23:02] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I suppose that wouldn't be too far off from electricity generation, given a source of fuel.
[23:02] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> But... your kind doesn't normally experience empathy?
[23:02] <accelerandoHeroine> Empathic control is...odd
[23:02] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Empathic control.
[23:02] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> That's different.
[23:03] <accelerandoHeroine> Yes it's more slight influences than direct control
[23:03] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> A different type of pheremones.  Simple enough.
[23:04] <accelerandoHeroine> Beast Control is simply what it is, controlling beasts with your mind
[23:04] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Your scientists haven't ever gone into detail on how it works?
[23:05] <accelerandoHeroine> Scientists? No. not really, these are psychic powers. Not works of science
[23:05] <accelerandoHeroine> I mean Eyebeams is another one
[23:06] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Everything is a work of science.
[23:07] <accelerandoHeroine> I suppose.
[23:08] <accelerandoHeroine> I have a book on psionics that I used as a kid, if you want me to send you a digital copy
[23:08] <pesticideAntagonist> i suppose someone has to translate it to english
[23:09] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> That would actually be extremely appreciated.
[23:09] <accelerandoHeroine> Ah crap
[23:09] <pesticideAntagonist> might as well be me
[23:09] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Any Altarnian literature, in fact.
[23:09] <accelerandoHeroine> Odie do you still have that translator?
[23:09] <pesticideAntagonist> now a days i feel like im everyone's translator
[23:09] <pesticideAntagonist> yes
[23:09] <accelerandoHeroine> Oh good
[23:10] <pesticideAntagonist> if you want to do it the fast way you can do that
[23:10] <accelerandoHeroine> Sure I'd prefer the fast way
[23:11] <pesticideAntagonist> ok it's working on it
[23:11] <accelerandoHeroine> Cool
[23:11] <pesticideAntagonist> i need to image scan these too don't i
[23:11] <pesticideAntagonist> uggggggh
[23:12] <pesticideAntagonist> this will take a while
[23:12] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> You really don't need to for my sake.
[23:12] <pesticideAntagonist> but it's so worth it
[23:12] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Though I would appreciate it.
[23:12] <pesticideAntagonist> you should be happy to use this
[23:12] <accelerandoHeroine> Oh right, I suppose I should mention this...
[23:12] <pesticideAntagonist> myu knows her psiionics
[23:13] <accelerandoHeroine> Channeling the psionic energies can be exhausting though
[23:13] <accelerandoHeroine> There's been quite a few times Odie has found me passed out after usage
[23:13] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Overexertion.  That makes sense.
[23:13] <pesticideAntagonist> yes and i have to carry her back to the coon
[23:13] <accelerandoHeroine> hehe...I appreciate it always Odie
[23:13] <accelerandoHeroine> Oh, and here Peter
[23:13] <pesticideAntagonist> i dont mind that
[23:14] <accelerandoHeroine> ====Myu sent serverconnect.exe ====
[23:14] <accelerandoHeroine> It's a server connection program gG helped me make for my computer
[23:14] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Alright?
[23:14] <accelerandoHeroine> Basically once I have the server set up proper, you'll be able to access our network
[23:14] <pesticideAntagonist> you will see me
[23:14] <pesticideAntagonist> scanning page
[23:14] <pesticideAntagonist> after poage
[23:15] <pesticideAntagonist> after page
[23:15] <pesticideAntagonist> im screaming
[23:15] <pesticideAntagonist> but its soooo worth it
[23:15] <accelerandoHeroine> Where did you even get that scanner
[23:15] <pesticideAntagonist> i... found it in someone's trash heap
[23:15] <accelerandoHeroine> Oh, okay
[23:15] <pesticideAntagonist> it worked so i was like yeah that's nice
[23:15] <pesticideAntagonist> free stuff
[23:16] <accelerandoHeroine> Good thing your putting that sylladex to good use
[23:16] <accelerandoHeroine> Basically Peter
[23:17] <accelerandoHeroine> you can chat with other trolls
[23:17] <accelerandoHeroine> I can send you the trollianhandles of our other friends if you would like
[23:17] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I would like that very much.
[23:18] <pesticideAntagonist> why do you never use this thing
[23:18] <pesticideAntagonist> it's great
[23:18] <accelerandoHeroine> yummyPawprints is Chiota, gG is Darwin, typhoonConfining is a purple troll named Zephyr (He's totally into me ;D)
[23:18] <pesticideAntagonist> it turns all my ink and mudroot sheet into computer speak
[23:19] <pesticideAntagonist> oh you dont have to remind me
[23:20] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Quite a few higher-castes amidst your group.
[23:20] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> That's interesting.
[23:20] <accelerandoHeroine> Yes there are! I mean...I met Zephyr through FLARP, in the best way possible...he was enthralled by me
[23:21] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I'm sure he was.
[23:21] <pesticideAntagonist> don't forget to run the program ...
[23:21] <pesticideAntagonist> i forgot to before
[23:21] <accelerandoHeroine> Oh, crap. It's almost dawn
[23:21] <pesticideAntagonist> it's so dumb
[23:21] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Dawn?
[23:22] <accelerandoHeroine> Yes
[23:22] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> What happens at dawn?
[23:22] <pesticideAntagonist> the bright light that burns eyes
[23:22] <accelerandoHeroine> The sun is extremely bright here
[23:22] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Ah.
[23:22] <accelerandoHeroine> Well, I think I must head off.
[23:22] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Of course.
[23:22]  * gG [GG] just now responded to memo
[23:23] <gG> whos dis new connection
[23:23] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> It wouldn't do to keep you awake.
[23:23] <gG> who r u
[23:23] <accelerandoHeroine> Of course. Odie feel free to stay up, your guest room is prepared as normal.
[23:23] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Peter.
[23:23] <accelerandoHeroine> === AH has stopped responding to the memo ===
[23:23] <pesticideAntagonist> oh, thanks. though really i want to take care of you some day
[23:24] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> A pleasure to meet you, Darwin.
[23:24] <accelerandoHeroine> [I'm going to bed myself, so somebody want to grab the paste at the end?]
[23:24] <gG> hi
[23:24] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> ((I will))
[23:24] <gG> (Me too.)
[23:24] <accelerandoHeroine> [thanks]
[23:24] <accelerandoHeroine> [night
[23:24] <pesticideAntagonist> (uhhh me three xD)
[23:24] == accelerandoHeroine [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client]
[23:24] <pesticideAntagonist> oh this is peter
[23:24] <pesticideAntagonist> its a human on his own planet
[23:25] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> That's right.
[23:25] <gG> o wow
[23:25] <gG> myu usin my stuff
[23:25] <gG> k
[23:25] <pesticideAntagonist> shes... not much for conversation
[23:25] <gG> ya
[23:25] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Perfectly alright.
[23:26] <gG> ok thx
[23:26] <pesticideAntagonist> lets .. darwin
[23:26] <pesticideAntagonist> be nice
[23:26] <pesticideAntagonist> introduce yourself, at least
[23:27] <gG> n
[23:27] <pesticideAntagonist> yes, you should
[23:27] <gG> n
[23:27] <pesticideAntagonist> yes
[23:27] <gG> n
[23:27] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> It's alright, Odie.
[23:27] <pesticideAntagonist> yes
[23:27] <gG> ..
[23:27] <pesticideAntagonist> it's only fair darwin
[23:28] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I don't mind.  As fascinated as I am with troll culture, I can't expect everyone to be as willing to share information as I am to receive it.
[23:28] <pesticideAntagonist> don't worry
[23:28] <pesticideAntagonist> i know how to handle this
[23:28] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> There really is no problem.
[23:29] <pesticideAntagonist> dariwn, look at it this way. your program is letting you talk to someone from really far away for once
[23:29] <pesticideAntagonist> its an ..
[23:29] <pesticideAntagonist> aaachiieeevement
[23:29] <gG> ah goddam
[23:29] <pesticideAntagonist> there
[23:30] <gG> im darwin
[23:30] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Hello Darwin.
[23:30] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I'm Peter.
[23:30] <gG> k
[23:31] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> So, Odie.
[23:31] <pesticideAntagonist> darwin how to i sent all these images to the decoder at once i forgot
[23:31] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Would you mind telling me some of your memories of Earth, by any chance?
[23:31] <gG> ctl+t+i
[23:31] <pesticideAntagonist> oh.. thanks
[23:31] <pesticideAntagonist> sure
[23:32] <pesticideAntagonist> let me see if i can remember...
[23:33] <pesticideAntagonist> why dont i get my journal
[23:33] <pesticideAntagonist> i can remember better with that thing..
[23:33] <pesticideAntagonist> feel free to talk to darwin for a bit
[23:33] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Certainly.
[23:34] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Hello again Darwin.
[23:34] <gG> hi
[23:35] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> If I may ask, how did you wind up getting uncontested access to the simple initials gG?  I would have assumed all two-digit handles would have been spoken for long ago, as they were on Earth.
[23:35] <pesticideAntagonist> i won it thru a bet
[23:35] <pesticideAntagonist> (WAIT)
[23:36] <gG> (Hey. I'd like to mention this to you.)
[23:36] <gG> (Me, and James A.K.A. Odie are on the same computer.)
[23:36] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> ((Huh.  Well alright then))
[23:36] <gG> (We share this computer, so we have to hot seat each message)
[23:36] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> ((Fun times))
[23:36] <gG> (Is that alright with you?)
[23:37] <gG> i won it thru a bet
[23:37] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> ((Yeah, no sweat.  Why would I have a problem?))
[23:37] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I see.  Interesting.
[23:37] <gG> then i just took it
[23:38] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> May I ask what the bet was?  Only out of curiosity, of course.
[23:39] <gG> boy challenges me to speedrun of flarp. he mod of the pester network. he said if i win i get any name i want
[23:39] <gG> i won. gg.
[23:39] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Heh.
[23:39] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Good one.
[23:41] <gG> ty
[23:41] <pesticideAntagonist> and we're back. with a journal in tow
[23:41] <pesticideAntagonist> you're in for a story yes you are
[23:41] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I can't wait.
[23:42] <gG> me2
[23:42] <pesticideAntagonist> ...you can never wait
[23:42] <pesticideAntagonist> you never want to ait
[23:42] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I'm sorry?
[23:42] <pesticideAntagonist> anyway...
[23:42] <pesticideAntagonist> i was talkingg to darwin
[23:42] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Ah.  My mistake.
[23:42] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Go on.
[23:43] <pesticideAntagonist> i want to talk to the informative human
[23:43] <pesticideAntagonist> and leave the busy violet troll alone
[23:43] <gG> yay
[23:43] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Yay.
[23:43] <pesticideAntagonist> so when i was a toddler
[23:44] <pesticideAntagonist> my parents took care of me, i couldn't even speak yet
[23:44] <pesticideAntagonist> at least it seemed like it. i was never mad
[23:44] <pesticideAntagonist> then lots of scary fire
[23:44] <pesticideAntagonist> everywhere, falling from the sky
[23:44] <pesticideAntagonist> parents went crazy from t
[23:45] <pesticideAntagonist> before i knew it, i was immediately on a circular rock
[23:46] <pesticideAntagonist> then... the rest is a blur, but myu said i was a crash on the ground and my rock left a huge crater
[23:46] <pesticideAntagonist> i don't know how i lived that
[23:46] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Hmm.
[23:46] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Strange.
[23:46] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Very strange.  Is it possible some of that was hallucinatory?
[23:47] <pesticideAntagonist> i don't know
[23:47] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I don't mean to imply that I doubt you, but I want to know how concrete these facts are.
[23:48] <pesticideAntagonist> i was barely even a few sweep at the time, i wouldnt know id be a wriggler but im different as usual
[23:48] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> I see.
[23:49] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> ... What's it like, being different from everyone else around you?
[23:49] <pesticideAntagonist> weird
[23:49] <pesticideAntagonist> everyone looks at me with a strange face
[23:49] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Naturally.
[23:50] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> That's about what I expected.  Thank you.
[23:50] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Is it at least alright?  You don't get threatened or anything?
[23:52] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Among my people, violence based on appearance is still unfortunately common.
[23:52] <pesticideAntagonist> oh that's no different here
[23:53] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Hmm.  That's unfortunate.
[23:55] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> Do you miss your home?
[23:58] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> (( pesticideAntagonist ))
[00:03] <zashchitnikNevinovnym> ((Okay yeah I'm just gonna pastebin))
