Lyra & Alex continue

[19:25] <Alexander_Pyrite> Yo
[19:25] <Lyra_Bel> Hey
[19:25] <Lyra_Bel> S'get right to it, then, I guess?
[19:27] <Alexander_Pyrite> Sure
[19:27] <Alexander_Pyrite> Where were we
[19:27] <Lyra_Bel> [22:10]  * Lyra_Bel , on second thought, decides to just wear the amulet, ring, and shades - replacing the penmade pair she already wears [22:12] <Lyra_Bel> This has the lovely effect of catapulting a bunch of shrimp around the room [22:12] <Lyra_Bel> "... We probably weren't gonna eat that anyway" [22:13] <Alexander_Pyrite> "i do not understnad your modus but ok"
[19:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> Ok we were looting a corpse right
[19:28] <Lyra_Bel> Eeyup
[19:28] <Lyra_Bel> Mine
[19:28] <Lyra_Bel> And you just checked out the dress
[19:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> Mind if you star
[19:28] <Lyra_Bel> Which was this
[19:28] <Lyra_Bel> http://image2.oasap.com/o_img/2013/04/17/28532-163326-home/Elegant-Color-Block-Short-Sleeve-Lace-Dress.jpg
[19:28] <Lyra_Bel> ====== BEGIN ======
[19:29] <Lyra_Bel> "As per usual... probably best not to question it.  S'a dumb modus"
[19:31] <Lyra_Bel> "But I guess it's served me well enough so far"
[19:31] <Lyra_Bel> "Except for launching stuff all over the place a bunch"
[19:35] <Lyra_Bel> (( Alexander_Pyrite ))
[19:35] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I've almost killed myself several times with mine"
[19:36] <Lyra_Bel> "Oh yeah"
[19:36] <Lyra_Bel> "The explosion thing.  Last four items, right?"
[19:37] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Yep"
[19:37] <Lyra_Bel> "Cool"
[19:37] <Alexander_Pyrite> "First time I ditched my inventory I had crap I'd long forgotten about"
[19:37] <Lyra_Bel> "Heh.  Makes sense"
[19:37] <Lyra_Bel> "Guess y'can't just keep a list, eh?"
[19:39] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Nope"
[19:39] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Tried once but couldn't keep up with it"
[19:39] <Lyra_Bel> "S'fair"
[19:39] <Lyra_Bel> "Mine doesn't show me what each card is at, either"
[19:40] <Alexander_Pyrite> "That's cause yours don't make shit sense"
[19:41] <Lyra_Bel> "It does too"
[19:41] <Alexander_Pyrite> "You finished looting yourself?"
[19:41] <Lyra_Bel> "Yeah, I'm good"
[19:41]  * Lyra_Bel experimentally runs her thumb along the two rings wrapped around her finger
[19:42] <Lyra_Bel> "S'gonna be weird getting used to having the stuff back after running around in god pyjamas for three days"
[19:42] <Lyra_Bel> "But better to have them than not"
[19:43] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Guess so"
[19:43] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I don't know where most of my stuff has gone"
[19:43] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Whatever all I need is my shield and soup"
[19:43] <Lyra_Bel> "Heh.  Makes sense"
[19:44] <Lyra_Bel> "You don't exactly strike me as the sorta person to need a buncha fancy gear to do the stuff for you"
[19:47] <Lyra_Bel> "... Hey, Alex?  Can I ask you something a bit weird?"
[19:50] <Lyra_Bel> (( Alexander_Pyrite again))
[19:50] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Sure what's up"
[19:50] <Lyra_Bel> "Okay, first of all.  How much do you know about philosophy?"
[19:50]  * Lyra_Bel starts walking back towards the surface, gesturing for him to walk beside her
[19:51] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Do I look like I know shot about philisophy"
[19:51] <Alexander_Pyrite> I follow
[19:52] <Lyra_Bel> "Y'don't look like you'd care for worldbuilding either"
[19:52] <Lyra_Bel> :P
[19:52] <Lyra_Bel> "But no is good.  Means you'll be thinking about it for the first time instead of having already made up your mind"
[19:53] <Lyra_Bel> "So anyway.  The last man in the world is sitting at home, and then there's a knock at the door.  Who is it?"
[20:00] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Uh..."
[20:01] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Oh! The last woman! Can't get past me, nice"
[20:01] <Lyra_Bel> :P
[20:01] <Lyra_Bel> "Alright.  So now the last *people* in the world are sitting in a room, and then there's *another* knock on the door"
[20:02] <Lyra_Bel> "It's the next world over, inviting them in.  So now the question is whether they're willing to leave everything in the ir world behind, in exchange for a new one"
[20:02] <Alexander_Pyrite> "What how was I supposed to come up with that"
[20:03] <Lyra_Bel> "No, you did good"
[20:03] <Lyra_Bel> "I'm just... expanding"
[20:03] <Lyra_Bel> "Getting to the proper question"
[20:04] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Please do"
[20:04] <Lyra_Bel> "Okay, so.  F'they go through, they'll be less lonely even though they'd still have each other either way.  But they lose everything else... except say, what they can carry through with them"
[20:04] <Lyra_Bel> "So is it worth it to leave everything behind and try again?"
[20:05] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I can carry like a lot"
[20:05] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I'd say yeah"
[20:05]  * Lyra_Bel laughs
[20:05] <Lyra_Bel> "S'not *quite* what I meant"
[20:06] <Lyra_Bel> "You'd give up the entire world?"
[20:06] <Alexander_Pyrite> "What's worth keeping that they don't have in their world?"
[20:06] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I'm sure they've got plenty of good tv and video games and shit"
[20:07] <Lyra_Bel> "I guess that's one way to look at it"
[20:07] <Lyra_Bel> "But at the same time, absolutely everything will be different"
[20:08] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Better than bein alone though"
[20:09] <Lyra_Bel> "You sure?"
[20:09] <Alexander_Pyrite> "There's what 4 of us left?"
[20:09] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Worlds done"
[20:09] <Lyra_Bel> "Two."
[20:09] <Alexander_Pyrite> "We need to save humanity"
[20:09] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Even worse"
[20:10] <Lyra_Bel> "Yeah, s'fair I guess"
[20:12] <Lyra_Bel> "... I dunno what exactly is gonna be the trigger that sends us to the other world"
[20:13] <Alexander_Pyrite> "But somethin definitely is?"
[20:13] <Alexander_Pyrite> "We're leaving?"
[20:13] <Lyra_Bel> "Definitely"
[20:13] <Lyra_Bel> "Just waiting on Twelve to say it's okay"
[20:14] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Damn."
[20:14] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Want to go stuff our pockets with shit"
[20:15] <Lyra_Bel> "Heh.  Kinda"
[20:15] <Lyra_Bel> "Better safe than sorry, eh?"
[20:16] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Like all I've got at the moment is a lighter, a shield and some other random stuff"
[20:16] <Lyra_Bel> "I've got... a mess"
[20:16] <Lyra_Bel> "Minus shrimp"
[20:17] <Lyra_Bel> "What would we even need to grab?"
[20:17] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Oh shit is their world gonna have shrimp"
[20:18] <Lyra_Bel> "That's the most important question"
[20:18] <Lyra_Bel> "I'll be sure to ask Lils when we're done here"
[20:19] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Sure"
[20:19] <Alexander_Pyrite> "But uh I was just planning on grabbing anything
[20:20] <Lyra_Bel> "Makes sense too"
[20:20] <Alexander_Pyrite> I've got like 70 cards after we got rid of those rocks"
[20:20] <Lyra_Bel> "Oh yeah.  Man, good times"
[20:20] <Lyra_Bel> "So, what?  We just run around looting the world for stuff?"
[20:21] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Sure, Bonnie and Clyde without the risk"
[20:22] <Lyra_Bel> "Unless we blow ourselves up"
[20:22] <Lyra_Bel> "Which could *totally* happen again"
[20:24] <Lyra_Bel> "S'kind of a pattern"
[20:26] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Haven't we been talking about blowing up a gas stations
[20:26] <Alexander_Pyrite> "*
[20:26] <Lyra_Bel> "Yeah.  But hopefully not with us *in* it"
[20:27] <Lyra_Bel> "No dying allowed"
[20:27] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Scoff"
[20:27] <Alexander_Pyrite> "How many times have you died"
[20:28] <Lyra_Bel> "I don't even know any more"
[20:28] <Lyra_Bel> "Five?"
[20:29] <Lyra_Bel> "Meteor, freezing, Nick, Ananke... does hallucinating getting murdered by Shieldwraith count?"
[20:29] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Did you die or just hallucinate it"
[20:29] <Lyra_Bel> "If I died, I got better a little bit later"
[20:30] <Lyra_Bel> "... I'm forgetting some times, I just know it"
[20:30] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Delightful"
[20:30] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I'm keeping it at 0"
[20:31] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Unless I get to become a god after"
[20:31] <Lyra_Bel> "Really?"
[20:31] <Lyra_Bel> "You sure you'd be okay with that?"
[20:31] <Lyra_Bel> "Dying kinda... sucks"
[20:33] <Alexander_Pyrite> "You've done it a lot of times"
[20:33] <Alexander_Pyrite> "And afterward you can't die right"
[20:33] <Lyra_Bel> "Yeah.  Functional immortality"
[20:34] <Lyra_Bel> "But I thought you were, y'know... afraid to die?"
[20:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I am"
[20:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Pretty much only thing I'm afraid of"
[20:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> "And being trapped for a long time"
[20:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> "And really bad torrid"
[20:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> Torture*
[20:35] <Alexander_Pyrite> "But damn immortality and superpowers"
[20:35] <Lyra_Bel> "Well, one superpower"
[20:35] <Lyra_Bel> "And flight I guess"
[20:38] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Damn you can fly???"
[20:38]  * Lyra_Bel levitates a foot off the ground
[20:38] <Lyra_Bel> "Eeyup"
[20:38] <Lyra_Bel> "Not all that special considering the wings, but hey, why not?"
[20:40] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Still exciting"
[20:41] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Arg"
[20:41] <Lyra_Bel> "Mm?"
[20:41] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Dunno what I'm gonna do"
[20:42] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Do I have the will to kill myself"
[20:42] <Lyra_Bel> "I'll still do it for you if you're totally sure"
[20:42] <Lyra_Bel> "Nobody should ever have to..."
[20:43] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I mean carrying your corpse was scarring enough"
[20:44] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Shit even you can be affected by murdering me"
[20:44] <Lyra_Bel> "What?"
[20:44] <Alexander_Pyrite> Could*
[20:44] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Could you straight up kill me and be totally ok with it"
[20:45] <Lyra_Bel> "I'm a "delusional sociopath", Alex"
[20:45] <Lyra_Bel> "I can do anything I want"
[20:45] <Lyra_Bel> "... If you were okay with it"
[20:46] <Alexander_Pyrite> "How are you a sociopath if you asked if I was ok with it"
[20:47] <Lyra_Bel> "Because, um... reasons"
[20:47] <Lyra_Bel> "Reasonable ones"
[20:48] <Alexander_Pyrite> "You've got feeeeelings"
[20:48] <Lyra_Bel> "Shut up I do not!"
[20:48]  * Alexander_Pyrite pokes Lyra
[20:49] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Feeeelings"
[20:49] <Lyra_Bel> "Lies and slander!"
[20:49] <Alexander_Pyrite> (In a mocking tone) "I'm a delusional sociopath raa"
[20:50] <Lyra_Bel> "Alex, don't make me stab you"
[20:50] <Lyra_Bel> "I know it's not nice, and you'd get to stab me back, but I will if it comes to that"
[20:52]  * Lyra_Bel conjures a pen and points it at him
[21:02] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Ooh gonna poke me with your pen?"
[21:03] <Lyra_Bel> "Maybe even twice at once!"
[21:03]  * Lyra_Bel produces another
[21:03]  * Alexander_Pyrite walks up and pokes self with pen gently on stomachs/ wherever Pens are
[21:03] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Sure hon"
[21:03] <Lyra_Bel> "... Well so much for that"
[21:03] <Lyra_Bel> "Dude, you're like, the absolute *worst* at getting threatened"
[21:04] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Helps that I'm super tough"
[21:04] <Lyra_Bel> "Yeah, s'pose so..."
[21:05] <Lyra_Bel> "What if I use bombs instead?"
[21:06] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Ok then I would be somewhat concerned"
[21:06] <Lyra_Bel> "Hah!  Calling that a win for the forces of evil"
[21:06] <Lyra_Bel> "Mua ha ha"
[21:07]  * Lyra_Bel adopts a victorious pose in which to continue hovering along
[21:08] <Alexander_Pyrite> I follow her silently
[21:09] <Lyra_Bel> "That'll teach you to call me a person with feelings"
[21:11] <Lyra_Bel> :P
[21:16] <Alexander_Pyrite> I grin.
[21:16] <Alexander_Pyrite> How high are you hoverin?
[21:16] <Lyra_Bel> About a foot
[21:17] <Alexander_Pyrite> How tall is Lyra
[21:17] <Lyra_Bel> About 160cm, which turns into about 5.2 feet
[21:17] <Alexander_Pyrite> Alright Alex is like a foot taller
[21:18] <Lyra_Bel> Before or after the levitation?
[21:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> Before
[21:18] <Lyra_Bel> Aright, so they'd be about at eye level then
[21:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> So Alex is going to lean on Lyra and bring her down
[21:19] <Alexander_Pyrite> From the back, bear hug style
[21:19] <Alexander_Pyrite> Kind of weird but it show he rolls
[21:19] <Alexander_Pyrite> It's how*
[21:19]  * Lyra_Bel yelps in surprise
[21:20] <Lyra_Bel> "Dude!"
[21:21] <Alexander_Pyrite> I hop off
[21:21] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Heheheh"
[21:22] <Lyra_Bel> "I take it back.  Killing you doesn't need permission anymore"
[21:22] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Come at me, 1 v 1"
[21:23] <Lyra_Bel> "Oh, you wanna go?"
[21:23]  * Alexander_Pyrite is clearly having a blast
[21:23] <Alexander_Pyrite> "You know I do"
[21:23] <Alexander_Pyrite> 0
[21:23] <Lyra_Bel> "I am going to eviscerate you so hard"
[21:23] <Lyra_Bel> "Or at least like"
[21:23] <Lyra_Bel> "Poke you a bunch with my pens"
[21:24] <Lyra_Bel> "It might even be mildly uncomfortable!"
[21:24] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I've poked my slef enough"
[21:24] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Get ready for he long haul"
[21:24] <Lyra_Bel> "What no"
[21:25] <Lyra_Bel> "Please, have mercy"
[21:25] <Lyra_Bel> "Anything but the long haul"
[21:25]  * Lyra_Bel backs away in mock horror
[21:27] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I'm so sorry to do this to you"
[21:27] <Alexander_Pyrite> "You're gonna have to poke me over and over"
[21:27] <Lyra_Bel> "Oh.  Well that's not so bad at all"
[21:28] <Lyra_Bel> "I was afraid of something else entirely"
[21:31] <Alexander_Pyrite> "What? Wait did I miss something"
[21:34] <Lyra_Bel> "No.  No, definitely not"
[21:34] <Lyra_Bel> "Poking you is absolutely the only thing going on"
[21:35] <Lyra_Bel> "... Wait.  You won't be allowed revenge-pokes for this, will you?"
[21:36] <Lyra_Bel> "Because that'd make this whole situation need a lot more consideration"
[21:40] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Nah one poke is enough for me"
[21:40] <Alexander_Pyrite> "That was weird anyway"
[21:40] <Lyra_Bel> "A little"
[21:40] <Lyra_Bel> "Um..."
[21:40]  * Lyra_Bel looks down
[21:41] <Lyra_Bel> "When, um, when you said I liked it..."
[21:42] <Lyra_Bel> "I tried to make this comeback, but I dunno if it was clear or not that I was agreeing with you"
[21:43] <Lyra_Bel> "I kinda did"
[21:44] <Alexander_Pyrite> Alex makes a squinty face
[21:44]  * Alexander_Pyrite no longer makes a fighting stance
[21:45] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Hey ya know to each their own but find someone else if you want some s&m shit"
[21:45] <Lyra_Bel> "... What?"
[21:46] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Never mind"
[21:46] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Let's keep walking"
[21:46] <Alexander_Pyrite> Alex leads the way
[21:46] <Lyra_Bel> "Um... yeah.  Yeah, alright"
[21:47] <Lyra_Bel> "Just s'long as that's clear"
[21:48] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Good to know"
[21:48] <Alexander_Pyrite> "So uh, when you said we were the only ones left..."
[21:49] <Alexander_Pyrite> "What happened to Faerzen"
[21:49] <Lyra_Bel> "Same as all the others"
[21:49] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Or Juan"
[21:49] <Lyra_Bel> "Empty.  Just... stopped."
[21:49] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Damn..."
[21:49] <Alexander_Pyrite> "He seemed so grounded."
[21:50]  * Lyra_Bel raises an eyebrow
[21:50] <Lyra_Bel> "We talking about the same person here?"
[21:50] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I didn't know him very well"
[21:50] <Alexander_Pyrite> "But all the connections made it seem like it"
[21:51] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Seemed to know so much"
[21:51] <Lyra_Bel> "When garbage data gets spoonfed to you, seeming smart is easy"
[21:52] <Alexander_Pyrite> :l
[21:52] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Ok..."
[21:52] <Lyra_Bel> "... Sorry.  Not their hugest fan"
[21:53] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I can tell"
[21:54] <Lyra_Bel> "They're... sorta on my and Lily's list of topics to avoid"
[21:54] <Lyra_Bel> "They are, in fact, the contents of the list"
[21:55] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Oh"
[21:55] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Ok..."
[21:56] <Alexander_Pyrite> Alex doesn't say anything no
[21:56] <Alexander_Pyrite> More*
[21:57]  * Lyra_Bel waits a few more moments of silence, save the echoes of Alex's footsteps, before she speaks up again
[21:57] <Lyra_Bel> "Sorry.  Kinda ruined the conversation there"
[21:57] <Lyra_Bel> "Can we like... jump back a bit?  Continue from earlier?"
[21:59] <Alexander_Pyrite> "God Please yes"
[21:59] <Lyra_Bel> "Okay.  Now then"
[21:59]  * Lyra_Bel backs away in horror
[21:59] <Lyra_Bel> "Anything but the long haul"
[22:00] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I still don't understand what that means"
[22:00] <Lyra_Bel> "It means if I stab you too much, I might run out of stabbing energy"
[22:01] <Lyra_Bel> "I need to conserve my stabs for the NPCs"
[22:03] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I can help punch them"
[22:04] <Lyra_Bel> "Granted"
[22:04] <Lyra_Bel> "But then I don't get to stab them as much"
[22:05] <Alexander_Pyrite> "You gotta save them though? The stabs"
[22:05] <Lyra_Bel> "Yes.  Stabbing is a limited resource, Alex"
[22:05] <Lyra_Bel> "C'mon, I thought you'd know this, being from the future and all"
[22:05] <Lyra_Bel> "Isn't there like a stab shortage by then or something?"
[22:09] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Oh yeah all the stabbing going on in like the wars"
[22:10] <Lyra_Bel> "Yeah dude"
[22:11] <Lyra_Bel> "Eventually the stabs just... run out.  Poof"
[22:12] <Alexander_Pyrite> "World peace. Easy"
[22:13]  * Lyra_Bel laughs
[22:13] <Lyra_Bel> "S'one way to achieve it, I'll give you that"
[22:14] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Stab people until there are no more stabs"
[22:15] <Lyra_Bel> "It's foolproof"
[22:16] <Lyra_Bel> "Oh dude"
[22:16] <Lyra_Bel> "F'I lived in your time I *totally* coulda won a nobel peace prize for doing that"
[22:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> "How often do you stab people anyway"
[22:19] <Lyra_Bel> "Um..."
[22:19] <Lyra_Bel> "Honestly I don't even remember ever stabbing an actual person"
[22:21] <Lyra_Bel> "But I'd totally do it in your future if it'd get me a trophy"
[22:21] <Lyra_Bel> :P
[22:24] <Alexander_Pyrite> "That is somewhat comforting"
[22:25] <Lyra_Bel> "Hey, screw you"
[22:25] <Lyra_Bel> "I'm a terrifying monster, nothing about me should evoke comfort"
[22:25] <Alexander_Pyrite> "What, I'm saying I'm glad you haven't committed a shankery"
[22:26] <Lyra_Bel> "Well I *have*, just not on *people*"
[22:26] <Lyra_Bel> "Statues can get shanked"
[22:26] <Lyra_Bel> "And like"
[22:26] <Lyra_Bel> "Imps"
