Lyra & Alex: Make C1Sa being dead stop from keep happening

[19:51] <Lyra_Bel> ===== BEGIN SOME MORE =====
[19:51] <Konrad|Alex> ((Where werer we again?))
[19:51] <Konrad|Alex> ((oh shoot))
[19:51] <Lyra_Bel> ((Sleeping))
[19:51] == Konrad|Alex has changed nick to Alexander_Pyrite
[19:53]  * Lyra_Bel wakes up from the first dreamless sleep she's had in ten days, and the first dreamless one to last longer than half an hour in several years
[19:53] <Alexander_Pyrite> (years?))
[19:53] <Lyra_Bel> ((Uberman sleep schedule.  It was a thing.  20-minute naps, and that's it))
[19:54] <Lyra_Bel> ((Kinda wound up stopped because of Derse, but still a thing))
[19:54] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((ah of course))
[19:54] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((forgot about that))
[19:54] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((ive always wanted to try that))
[19:55] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((anyway alex would rpobably still be asleep yeah?))
[19:55] <Lyra_Bel> ((Sure))
[19:55] <Lyra_Bel> ((Also make sure you have no obligations like work or school for the first few weeks.  You will be *miserable* starting out))
[19:56] <Lyra_Bel> ((Trust me.  Is not a fun time))
[19:56] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((ive done some research))
[19:56] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((does this mean youve tried it?))
[19:57] <Lyra_Bel> ((A couple times, over summer.  Had to stop when school started up again, and can't do it anymore because work))
[19:57] <Lyra_Bel> ((But used to, few years back))
[19:58] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((thats awesome))
[19:58] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((what did you do with the time
[19:58] <Alexander_Pyrite> ?))
[19:58] <Lyra_Bel> ((Spreadsheets))
[19:58] <Lyra_Bel> ((And reading, and video games))
[20:00]  * Lyra_Bel shifts uncomfortably.  As it turns out, sleeping outdoors on gravel with no pillow or blanket or anything is less than luxurious, even with deification-induced pajamas
[20:01]  * Lyra_Bel 's eyes flicker to Alex's still-sleeping face.  Right.  She does have a pillow.  Even if it's also a shoulder
[20:03] <Lyra_Bel> "Hey.  R'you... ?" She doesn't raise her head to speak.  Easier to let herself be muffled than disturb the current position she's managed to find herself in
[20:04] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((no response... yet))
[20:04] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((ill roll a d5 every so often
[20:04] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((if its 1 hell wake up
[20:04] <Alexander_Pyrite> ))
[20:05] <Lyra_Bel> "Mm"
[20:05]  * Lyra_Bel is used to being the only one awake.  This is fine
[20:07]  * Lyra_Bel instead starts taking stock of everything.  Everything she can see without moving, at least.  The sky is bright.  Bright*er*, at least, than it was... last night?  Does it count as night if the stars shouldn't have even existed?
[20:08] <Lyra_Bel> Screw it.  The stars existed *then*, and that means they belong just as much as any other difference in the world does
[20:08] <Lyra_Bel> Except... this time it was because of her.  Because of God Tier, and because of Doom, and because of everything
[20:09] <Lyra_Bel> Nothing left to say no to making whatever she wanted out of the game
[20:09] <Lyra_Bel> ... What *did* she want?
[20:10] <Lyra_Bel> What does she still?
[20:11] <Lyra_Bel> Lily is safe.  Alex is... safe, and present, and everything that she'd been afraid of about their previous meeting is done and past
[20:12]  * Lyra_Bel exhales slowly, and presses herself against his side.  It's done
[20:13] <Lyra_Bel> There's more to do, of course.  More to plan.  But the only things left are tertiary or quaternary options.  Little side benefits, like getting to be the one to put the queen out of her misery
[20:14] <Lyra_Bel> Everything else has already been done
[20:14]  * Lyra_Bel has won.
[20:15] <Lyra_Bel> ((Yeah I ran out of monologue))
[20:15] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((3. should he wake up or should i let ))
[20:15] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((nevermind then :P))
[20:16]  * Alexander_Pyrite stirs
[20:16] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((i guess its day?))
[20:16] <Lyra_Bel> ((Sure, why not?))
[20:16]  * Lyra_Bel freezes
[20:16] <Alexander_Pyrite> he makes a loud groaning noise
[20:18] <Lyra_Bel> "Uh, um... hi?"
[20:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> "mmmm"
[20:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> "lyra?"
[20:18] <Lyra_Bel> "I didn't wake you, did I?"
[20:19] <Lyra_Bel> "Sorry"
[20:19] <Alexander_Pyrite> "wha? no no way"
[20:19] <Alexander_Pyrite> He finally opens his eyes, theyre kind of unfocused and his hair is messy
[20:20] <Lyra_Bel> "... How did you even manage to mess your hair up without even moving around?"
[20:21] <Lyra_Bel> "Like... that's almost impressive"
[20:22] <Alexander_Pyrite> "talent..."
[20:22] <Lyra_Bel> "Heh.  Best superpower yet"
[20:23] <Alexander_Pyrite> "why isnt my hair supoer strong))
[20:23] <Alexander_Pyrite> "*
[20:23] <Alexander_Pyrite> "or like my fingernails"
[20:23] <Alexander_Pyrite> "whats up with taht"
[20:24] <Lyra_Bel> "Well, maybe it is"
[20:24] <Lyra_Bel> "Ever tried doing hair-pushups?"
[20:24] <Alexander_Pyrite> "no"
[20:24] <Alexander_Pyrite> Alex begins to sit up
[20:24] <Alexander_Pyrite> "WI dont htink i could balance
[20:25] <Lyra_Bel> "Guess that's true"
[20:26] <Alexander_Pyrite> "wait if im strong..."
[20:26] <Alexander_Pyrite> "could i do handstands with muscles"
[20:26] <Lyra_Bel> "Could try.  Think the harder part would be keeping your balance though"
[20:27] <Lyra_Bel> "Like, physically lifting yourself'd be easy enough, but..."
[20:28] <Lyra_Bel> "Being strong wouldn't let you do something like that"
[20:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> "isnt balance just muscles?"
[20:28] <Lyra_Bel> "Is it?"
[20:28] <Lyra_Bel> "Thought it was like, coordination and stuff"
[20:31] <Lyra_Bel> "Like, you can totally *try* it"
[20:31] <Lyra_Bel> "I just dunno if it'd be specifically related to your sorta crazy strongness"
[20:31] <Alexander_Pyrite> "isnt balance just the right muscles
[20:31] <Alexander_Pyrite> "
[20:32] <Lyra_Bel> "I guess, if you can work out *which* super-muscles to use"
[20:33] <Lyra_Bel> "Wanna try?"
[20:33] <Alexander_Pyrite> "maybe when im more awake"
[20:33] <Lyra_Bel> "S'fair"
[20:34] <Lyra_Bel> "Not good to fall on your head while half-asleep"
[20:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> "or ever"
[20:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> alex smiles and stands up and stretches
[20:35] <Lyra_Bel> "That too"
[20:35]  * Lyra_Bel also rises
[20:35]  * Lyra_Bel brushes some stray bits of gravel off her Witch dress
[20:37] <Lyra_Bel> "Unless it's from a gate.  Then you can drink it off or whatever happened back then"
[20:37] <Alexander_Pyrite> "game bs"
[20:38] <Alexander_Pyrite> alex brushes off his... shirt? jeans? who knows
[20:38] <Lyra_Bel> "We're still technically in the game"
[20:38] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yeah well"
[20:38] <Alexander_Pyrite> "anyway do i get the sick new digs if i die and come back to life"
[20:38] <Lyra_Bel> "Eeyup.  Yours would be..."
[20:38]  * Lyra_Bel pauses, thinking
[20:39] <Lyra_Bel> "Gray shirt and pants, n'then this really long wavy cape thing"
[20:39] <Alexander_Pyrite> "a cape huh?"
[20:39] <Alexander_Pyrite> "im in"
[20:40] <Lyra_Bel> :P
[20:40] <Lyra_Bel> "You sure?  You've always been pretty opposed to the whole 'dying' thing up to now"
[20:41] <Alexander_Pyrite> "oh yeah"
[20:41] <Alexander_Pyrite> "is there any way i... could not do that?"
[20:41] <Alexander_Pyrite> "and still get a cool cape?"
[20:41] <Lyra_Bel> "Alchemize a cool cape"
[20:42] <Lyra_Bel> "Or beat up Lanased and just take some.  He probably has a cavern full of them"
[20:44] <Alexander_Pyrite> "man what do you have out for that guy"
[20:45] <Alexander_Pyrite> "he seems to just be chilling and minding his own business but you insist on murdering his ass"
[20:45] <Lyra_Bel> "The dude threatened to kill us for offering to help him"
[20:45] <Lyra_Bel> "C'mon, you remember that, right?"
[20:47] <Alexander_Pyrite> "didnt we like illegally enter his place or something"
[20:47] <Lyra_Bel> "His store?"
[20:47] <Alexander_Pyrite> "was that another big spider"
[20:47] <Lyra_Bel> "Which he had previously invited me into and told me to take whatever I like?"
[20:48] <Lyra_Bel> "Even though I kinda hated all the stuff, it's still a pretty drastic change"
[20:49] <Lyra_Bel> "Heck, he didn't even start pretending it was a store until later, when he decided we needed to stop being out of danger"
[20:49] <Alexander_Pyrite> "oh huh"
[20:49] <Alexander_Pyrite> "well maybe ill pay him a visit"
[20:49] <Alexander_Pyrite> "and give him the punch"
[20:50]  * Lyra_Bel smiles
[20:50] <Lyra_Bel> "He can go on the list of NPCs that get to die"
[20:50] <Lyra_Bel> "Or at least be punched"
[20:50] <Lyra_Bel> "Though I'm sure there's not such a big difference"
[20:51] <Alexander_Pyrite> Alex flexes
[20:51] <Alexander_Pyrite> "you know it" B)
[20:51]  * Lyra_Bel laughs
[20:52] <Lyra_Bel> "Needs a cape to flutter dramatically in the breeze"
[20:53] <Alexander_Pyrite> "too bad there no sheet or anything"
[20:53] <Alexander_Pyrite> "alright"
[20:53] <Alexander_Pyrite> "so what should we do?"
[20:53] <Alexander_Pyrite> "new day. ish? who knows"
[20:53] <Lyra_Bel> "Anything we want, for one"
[20:54] <Lyra_Bel> "... Bit early to blow up a gas station, though"
[20:54] <Lyra_Bel> "Would be better in the starlight"
[20:55] <Alexander_Pyrite> "i guess"
[20:56] <Alexander_Pyrite> "oh how about"
[20:56] <Alexander_Pyrite> "the b r o"
[20:56] <Lyra_Bel> "Up to you"
[20:57] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((darn he would do that but we kind of need a dm for this))
[20:57] <Lyra_Bel> "S'long as you're aware what he'll say when he realizes I'm still here"
[20:57] <Lyra_Bel> "And also that you threw him off a cliff and left him to die"
[20:57] <Lyra_Bel> :P
[20:57] <Lyra_Bel> ((Bluh))
[20:57] <Alexander_Pyrite> "i mean i didnt meant to..."
[20:57] <Alexander_Pyrite> "maybe its not a great idea :/"
[20:58] <Lyra_Bel> "Your choice.  He should be frozen in there, I think, so you have time"
[21:00] <Lyra_Bel> "... Or we could go loot some of my corpses for sweet loot"
[21:01] <Alexander_Pyrite> "is that not weird?"
[21:01] <Lyra_Bel> "It probably would be.  But hey, you've dealt with dead mes before, right?"
[21:02] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yeah but"
[21:02] <Alexander_Pyrite> "not a dead me"
[21:02]  * Lyra_Bel blinks
[21:02] <Lyra_Bel> "Wait, what?"
[21:02] <Alexander_Pyrite> "er i mean"
[21:02] <Alexander_Pyrite> "is it weird from your eyes"
[21:02] <Alexander_Pyrite> "because its dead yous'
[21:02] <Lyra_Bel> "Nah"
[21:02] <Alexander_Pyrite> "i would be weirded out by dead mes"
[21:03] <Lyra_Bel> "I'll be fine.  M'used to that sorta stuff"
[21:03] <Lyra_Bel> "Remember that time I actually saw Maskwraith murder me?"
[21:05] <Lyra_Bel> "Like yeah, I pretended to be all scarred for the trial, but c'mon.  S'nothing"
[21:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> "oh yeah"
[21:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> "i mean like i said"
[21:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> "if it was me id be weirded out'
[21:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> "but lead the way i guess"
[21:08] <Lyra_Bel> "Sweet.  Any preference as to which one we go for?  I know one of them had a chainmail vest that you could probably attach to your shoulders or something and call it a cape"
[21:11] <Alexander_Pyrite> "sounds good to me"
[21:11] <Lyra_Bel> "Rad.  And that means I can finally take a look at that Quest Bed you put me on, too"
[21:11] <Lyra_Bel> "You can just like, jump gates, yeah?"
[21:12] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yep"
[21:12] <Alexander_Pyrite> "im super strong for some reason lol"
[21:12] <Alexander_Pyrite> "but you already knew that"
[21:12]  * Alexander_Pyrite flexes
[21:13]  * Lyra_Bel laughs again
[21:13] <Lyra_Bel> "S'not exactly a secret"
[21:13]  * Lyra_Bel shakes her head.  "Okay but really.  S'a long walk-slash-fly-slash-whatever"
[21:13] <Lyra_Bel> "Wanna see if my power can do something about that, though?"
[21:17] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yeah sure"
[21:17] <Alexander_Pyrite> "what is it gonna delete space or something"
[21:18] <Lyra_Bel> "Something like that"
[21:18]  * Lyra_Bel grins conspiratorially
[21:18] <Lyra_Bel> "C'mon.  S'time to us to go..."
[21:18] <Lyra_Bel> ===== JUMPCUT =====
[21:18] <Lyra_Bel> "... back to my Quest Bed"
[21:19] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((what happened))
[21:19] <Lyra_Bel> ((Basically, travelled offscreen))
[21:20] <Lyra_Bel> ((No difference IC))
[21:20] <Lyra_Bel> ((It's a... "unique" GT))
[21:21] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((wait so its like an actualy jumpcut))
[21:21] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((we're suddenly there?))
[21:21] <Lyra_Bel> ((Yeah pretty much))
[21:22] <Alexander_Pyrite> "woah"
[21:22] <Alexander_Pyrite> "what"
[21:22] <Alexander_Pyrite> "whats going on"
[21:23] <Lyra_Bel> "Witch of Doom.  Breaks layers, paints mediums, and no DMs to stop me"
[21:23]  * Lyra_Bel sighs
[21:23] <Lyra_Bel> "S'complicated"
[21:24] <Alexander_Pyrite> "well alright then"
[21:24] <Alexander_Pyrite> "what about me?"
[21:24] <Alexander_Pyrite> "what am i?"
[21:25] <Lyra_Bel> "Y'sure you wanna know?  I don't think I can just skip our way to your Bed like that"
[21:26] <Alexander_Pyrite> "just what i am i guess"
[21:26] <Alexander_Pyrite> "i dont know if i want to die"
[21:27] <Lyra_Bel> "Guess that's fair"
[21:27] <Lyra_Bel> "You're apparently an Heir of Life"
[21:27] <Lyra_Bel> "Whatever that means"
[21:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> "so im life's heir eh?"
[21:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> "do i inherit life"
[21:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> "you are all mine"
[21:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> "all living things"
[21:28] <Lyra_Bel> "I... guess so?"
[21:28] <Lyra_Bel> "S'long as the previous owners are dead I guess"
[21:30] <Alexander_Pyrite> "who previously ownned life?"
[21:31] <Lyra_Bel> "Um... I have no idea"
[21:31] <Lyra_Bel> "The universe?"
[21:31] <Lyra_Bel> "Tadpal's birth mom, or however that works?"
[21:32] <Lyra_Bel> "Maybe the same proto-deities my power lets me ignore"
[21:33] <Alexander_Pyrite> "tadpal"
[21:33] <Alexander_Pyrite> "didnt you murder that guy"
[21:34] <Lyra_Bel> "Was going to.  Lily kind of convinced me to, um... not"
[21:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> "damn lily"
[21:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> "thansk i think"
[21:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> "murder is never good
[21:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> "
[21:37] <Lyra_Bel> "Ugh, you sound just like her"
[21:37] <Lyra_Bel> " "Don't stab your friends", "murder is bad", "you aren't a deranged serial killer" "
[21:38] <Lyra_Bel> "So ridiculous"
[21:38]  * Lyra_Bel adds "Kidding" under her breath
[21:38] <Alexander_Pyrite> "you arent right"
[21:38] <Alexander_Pyrite> "..right?"
[21:39] <Lyra_Bel> :P
[21:39] <Lyra_Bel> "Right"
[21:39] <Lyra_Bel> "Not anymore.  Even though I was in a pretty bad place, before"
[21:39] <Lyra_Bel> "I still wasn't then, but that wasn't from lack of trying"
[21:40] <Lyra_Bel> "... This isn't helping my case, is it?"
[21:41] <Alexander_Pyrite> "no"
[21:41] <Alexander_Pyrite> "but i dnt mind"
[21:42] <Alexander_Pyrite> "you couldnt kill me if you tried so"
[21:42] <Lyra_Bel> "Hey, I could too!"
[21:42] <Lyra_Bel> "... Probably!"
[21:42] <Lyra_Bel> "Maybe!"
[21:42] <Lyra_Bel> "If you let me!"
[21:43] <Lyra_Bel> "Maybe even if you just didn't stop me, like if you were asleep or something"
[21:49] <Lyra_Bel> (( Alexander_Pyrite ))
[21:49] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yeah but i can kill plenty of stuff if its asleep"
[21:49] <Lyra_Bel> "Couldn't kill me"
[21:51] <Lyra_Bel> "*Probably* wouldn't even be willing to try"
[21:51] <Alexander_Pyrite> "unless your hax got in the way i could"
[21:51] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yeah tahts true"
[21:52] <Lyra_Bel> "Heh.  Hax.  I like that word"
[21:52] <Lyra_Bel> "May have to start using it to describe the shenanigans I can do now"
[21:52] <Lyra_Bel> "Hacking the game"
[21:57]  * Lyra_Bel trails off as she starts the grisly work of scavenging her own bloody corpse for equipment
[21:58] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Well what else would you call it"
[21:58] <Alexander_Pyrite> "so uh"
[21:58] <Alexander_Pyrite> "im gonna let you deal with taht"
[21:58] <Lyra_Bel> "Mm?"
[21:58] <Lyra_Bel> "Yeah.  S'fair"
[21:59]  * Lyra_Bel acquires Emerald Shades, Generic Shield, Spider Chain Vest, Amulet of Endless Ant, Silver Engagement Ring, Phone, Earbuds, and Energy Crystal.  Into the sylladex they go
[22:00] <Lyra_Bel> "So yeah.  Cape?"
[22:01]  * Lyra_Bel offers Alex the Spider Chain Vest, only mildly bloodstained
[22:01] <Alexander_Pyrite> "mind if i grab that shield too?"
[22:01] <Alexander_Pyrite> I take the cape too
[22:01] <Alexander_Pyrite> I sort of drape ita round my neck
[22:01] <Alexander_Pyrite> awkwardly
[22:01] <Lyra_Bel> "Go for it"
[22:02] <Lyra_Bel> ((Spider Chain Vest provides 7 AC, and makes the wearer immune to cold.  Medium armour))
[22:02] <Alexander_Pyrite> I take it and strike a pose
[22:02]  * Lyra_Bel applauds
[22:03] <Lyra_Bel> "Truly impressive.  You're a real superhero now, and no death required"
[22:03] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((golly))
[22:03] <Alexander_Pyrite> I bow, i bow
[22:03] <Lyra_Bel> "Well..."
[22:03]  * Lyra_Bel glances pointedly at her own corpse, which has been reduced to wearing whichever of Lanased's dresses this one was in under the armour
[22:04] <Lyra_Bel> "*One* death required.  But totally worth it"
[22:04] <Alexander_Pyrite> Alex checks it out
[22:04] <Alexander_Pyrite> the dress
[22:04] <Alexander_Pyrite> and in a not weird aw
[22:04] <Alexander_Pyrite> way
[22:05] <Lyra_Bel> ((I actually have a link, because Roo got way too into the shopping spree cutscene))
[22:05] <Lyra_Bel> (( http://image2.oasap.com/o_img/2013/04/17/28532-163326-home/Elegant-Color-Block-Short-Sleeve-Lace-Dress.jpg ))
[22:06] <Lyra_Bel> ((Except like, it's Lyra in it and a good deal of it is covered in blood because this version of her had her face start bleeding until she died))
[22:08] <Lyra_Bel> "... What are you thinking?"
[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"
[22:13] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((mind if we pick this up at a later time?))
[22:13] <Lyra_Bel> ((Sure))
