Team JGAOTSLOTIHBDAIHAPIEW recruits MR

[20:14] <melancholicRegent> Hey, you up to anything?
[20:14] <PigBurner> rn not really
[20:14] <melancholicRegent> I was thinking we could discuss our characters for Lys's session
[20:14] <PigBurner> just wanted to have a chat with ya
[20:14] <PigBurner> oh yeah
[20:14] <melancholicRegent> since what we only really got a rough idea right now
[20:15] <PigBurner> yeah we should try to nail down what the fuck are we even doing
[20:16] <melancholicRegent> I also don't totally know what to do with my character
[20:16] <PigBurner> so what did you have in mind?
[20:16] <PigBurner> well we can figure that out
[20:16] <melancholicRegent> well, we agreed to be related right?
[20:17] <PigBurner> yeah
[20:17] <PigBurner> how close tho, like brothers, cousins
[20:17] <melancholicRegent> I think brothers works well
[20:17] <PigBurner> hey I could be your dad
[20:17] <melancholicRegent> maybe
[20:18] <PigBurner> we could say someone killed your mother for some reason
[20:18] <PigBurner> and we have to find out who and why
[20:18] <melancholicRegent> that could work
[20:19] <melancholicRegent> that could work for brothers or father son
[20:19] <PigBurner> yeah
[20:19] <PigBurner> ok we should be brothers actually
[20:20] <melancholicRegent> yeah
[20:20] <PigBurner> it would be weird if i get a whore or something haha
[20:20] <melancholicRegent> lol
[20:20] <PigBurner> ok so someone killed our mother, who was she?
[20:20] <PigBurner> was she royal born, or a peasant that rose to power somehow
[20:21] <PigBurner> I really like the idea of her being the peasant
[20:21] <melancholicRegent> yeah me too
[20:21] <PigBurner> but that's so cliche
[20:21] <PigBurner> actually
[20:21] <PigBurner> let's reverse it
[20:21] <PigBurner> she was the heir to the throne and married a peasant
[20:21] <melancholicRegent> maybe not heir to the throne, that might give us a bit too much social power
[20:22] <melancholicRegent> she could still be part of a royal house, but she was the daughter of a lord instead of a king
[20:22] <PigBurner> well depends, I was gonna say she was getting like a barony
[20:23] <melancholicRegent> that could work too
[20:23] <PigBurner> like nothing *too* big
[20:23] <PigBurner> otherwise she'd get married to a random courtier to get alliances and shit
[20:23] <melancholicRegent> yeah
[20:24] <melancholicRegent> if she's dead, that could also explain why we're bumming around the country side despite getting a formal education/knighthood
[20:25] <PigBurner> yeah!
[20:25] <PigBurner> ok so who exactly will you be?
[20:25] <melancholicRegent> I was thinking either a cleric/priest or a sort of support mage
[20:26] <PigBurner> hey MS is online, should we add him to the group?
[20:26] <PigBurner> since this is his crap
[20:26] <melancholicRegent> sure
[20:27] <PigBurner> PigBurner added moldgrafSerpent to the conversation.
[20:27] <PigBurner> yo
[20:27] <moldgrafSerpent> Bonjour, mes amis
[20:27] <PigBurner> so we were talking about characters and shit
[20:27] <moldgrafSerpent> Alright
[20:28] <moldgrafSerpent> Let's hear it
[20:28] <melancholicRegent> hi MS
[20:28] <PigBurner> MR, I was talking about throwing a party at MS's place, wanna hop in?
[20:28] <moldgrafSerpent> Hey MR
[20:28] <melancholicRegent> maybe
[20:28] <PigBurner> aw yeah
[20:28] <melancholicRegent> doesn't MS live on a plane?
[20:28] <PigBurner> that's the point
[20:29] <moldgrafSerpent> PB isn't the best at spatial reasoning
[20:29] <moldgrafSerpent> There is no room in the plane
[20:29] <PigBurner> it's a small thing
[20:29] <moldgrafSerpent> My rolls of fat consume all
[20:29] <melancholicRegent> this is probably somewhat irrational, but I can't help but feel that a party on a plane will end badly
[20:29] <PigBurner> maybe like 4 or 5 people
[20:29] <melancholicRegent> wouldn't it make more sense to invite MS to your place?
[20:29] <melancholicRegent> or mine, but its kind of cold here
[20:29] <PigBurner> how could that be, we ain't touching the cabin
[20:30] <PigBurner> like if that plane's big enough for MS to live there we can totally do a party
[20:31] <moldgrafSerpent> No, you misunderstand
[20:31] <moldgrafSerpent> There would be no room to party, *because* I am there
[20:32] <PigBurner> well, you got a bed room for you and your mother
[20:32] <PigBurner> a place to cook and eat
[20:32] <PigBurner> that's big enough
[20:32] <moldgrafSerpent> We kinda don't have bedrooms
[20:32] <moldgrafSerpent> Well, I sorta do
[20:32] <moldgrafSerpent> But she just stays in the cockpit most of the time
[20:33] <PigBurner> so what do you actually have there
[20:33] <PigBurner> you kinda need a place to sleep and shower
[20:33] <PigBurner> so that's at least 2 rooms
[20:34] <moldgrafSerpent> You overestimate my hygiene
[20:35] <PigBurner> we
[20:35] <PigBurner> ew
[20:35] <moldgrafSerpent> I kid
[20:36] <melancholicRegent> MS seems pretty heavily apposed to this, I don't think we need to do a party
[20:36] <moldgrafSerpent> Thank you, MR
[20:37] <PigBurner> yeh I got that a while ago
[20:37] <PigBurner> I was pushing to see if he'd agree
[20:37] <moldgrafSerpent> And I will not
[20:37] <moldgrafSerpent> Both because none of you deserve to be subjected to my presence
[20:37] <moldgrafSerpent> And also because Mumsy doesn't like having guests
[20:39] <PigBurner> and?
[20:39] <PigBurner> who says you always have to listen to her
[20:39] <moldgrafSerpent> She does
[20:39] <moldgrafSerpent> And I have to listen
[20:39] <moldgrafSerpent> Because she says to
[20:40] <melancholicRegent> remember PH, some people have actual parents unlike us
[20:40] <PigBurner> pfff
[20:41] <PigBurner> ok so onto what really matters
[20:41] <PigBurner> (although doing a party is awesome still)
[20:41] <PigBurner> we need some help defining MR's character
[20:42] <moldgrafSerpent> (You want a party, you host a party)
[20:42] <PigBurner> (oh I WILL trust me)
[20:42] <PigBurner> am I right MR?
[20:42] <moldgrafSerpent> (Then I will ruin this party of yours)
[20:42] <moldgrafSerpent> (Ruination is my specialty)
[20:42] <melancholicRegent> (stop talking like this you bozos)
[20:42] <moldgrafSerpent> (Oh, sorry)
[20:43] <moldgrafSerpent> <How's this?>
[20:43] <melancholicRegent> yeah my character needs work
[20:43] <melancholicRegent> <>:<>
[20:43] <melancholicRegent> <can you see my emote>
[20:43] <melancholicRegent> <it is very unhappy>
[20:43] <PigBurner> ok so, so far we said that we are brothers, our mother was the heir to a barony and married a peasant who's our dad, now she was killed by an unknown murderer and we need to find out who and why
[20:43] <moldgrafSerpent> {I pride myself on making people unhappy}
[20:44] <PigBurner> oh also I am the older brother
[20:45] <moldgrafSerpent> Alright
[20:45] <melancholicRegent> PB's playing a hedge knight, and I'm either going with a priest or a support mage
[20:45] <moldgrafSerpent> Yes, I remember that part
[20:46] <PigBurner> so we should define the personalities first I feel
[20:47] <melancholicRegent> oh yeah, that'd probably be important
[20:47] <PigBurner> ok so for myself I feel I'll go with a jump straight to the point and hit the problem with a hammer until it fixes itself kinda character
[20:47] <moldgrafSerpent> Appropriate enough
[20:48] <melancholicRegent> I'm probably gonna play the straight man then
[20:48] <PigBurner> thanks
[20:48] <moldgrafSerpent> Also reasonable
[20:48] <melancholicRegent> PB, you're going neutral/chaotic good I assume?
[20:49] <PigBurner> what does that mean?
[20:49] <moldgrafSerpent> You do the right thing, and ignore the law if it tries to stop you
[20:49] <PigBurner> yeah
[20:49] <moldgrafSerpent> So... you
[20:49] <PigBurner> well yeah
[20:49] <PigBurner> why wouldn't I play the best person ever?
[20:50] <PigBurner> jk
[20:50] <moldgrafSerpent> It's called roleplaying, PB
[20:50] <moldgrafSerpent> You're supposed to *not* be yourself
[20:50] <PigBurner> I'm not playing Raz
[20:50] <melancholicRegent> :O
[20:50] <moldgrafSerpent> :O
[20:50] <moldgrafSerpent> This is going straight into the fanfic, you realize
[20:51] <PigBurner> hahaha
[20:51] <melancholicRegent> how have you not noticed this already
[20:51] <PigBurner> I want a copy of that fanfic btw
[20:51] <moldgrafSerpent> You don't get a copy
[20:51] <moldgrafSerpent> I can't trust you with it
[20:51] <PigBurner> awww why
[20:51] <melancholicRegent> do you trust me with it?
[20:52] <moldgrafSerpent> Because you'll use it to topple the government
[20:52] <moldgrafSerpent> And also no
[20:52] <PigBurner> oh wow
[20:52] <moldgrafSerpent> You'll give it to PB to topple the government with
[20:52] <moldgrafSerpent> Nobody is safe but myself
[20:53] <PigBurner> awww
[20:53] <PigBurner> will you read it to us tho?
[20:53] <melancholicRegent> hey PB
[20:53] <PigBurner> yeh?
[20:53] <melancholicRegent> how would you feel about playing as evil characters?
[20:54] <PigBurner> hm
[20:54] <moldgrafSerpent> Alright, I'm gonna stop you right there
[20:54] <moldgrafSerpent> Talk to the others about this
[20:54] <PigBurner> and there's the cock block
[20:54] <PigBurner> oh
[20:54] <melancholicRegent> alright thats fine
[20:54] <moldgrafSerpent> Either the whole party is evil or nobody is
[20:54] <moldgrafSerpent> Otherwise you're just being disruptive to the group
[20:54] <PigBurner> yeah I can get that
[20:54] <melancholicRegent> I'm honestly kind of unsure about the evil thing
[20:54] <moldgrafSerpent> I'm sorry, but this is something I won't budge on
[20:55] <PigBurner> well it makes sense
[20:55] <melancholicRegent> how about somewhat neutral, and then we'll see where our path for revenge takes us
[20:55] <PigBurner> like if you have an asshat in the team they'll just kick them
[20:55] <moldgrafSerpent> Neutral's fine
[20:55] <PigBurner> ok then
[20:55] <PigBurner> so we care about ourselves and that's it
[20:56] <moldgrafSerpent> Just don't use your alignment against your coplayers
[20:56] <moldgrafSerpent> Selfish is perfectly fine
[20:56] <PigBurner> ok then
[20:56] <PigBurner> so no stabbing in the back
[20:56] <PigBurner> but not helping is ok
[20:57] <moldgrafSerpent> As long as you realize the others may well choose to not help you back
[20:57] <melancholicRegent> I mean we might care about members of the party
[20:57] <melancholicRegent> we just aren't exceptionally moral
[20:58] <PigBurner> well yeah that's part of being selfish
[20:58] <PigBurner> we help them as long as that will help us
[20:59] <PigBurner> ok so MR, your personality
[21:00] <melancholicRegent> probably very rational, the more scholarly of the two
[21:01] <PigBurner> aha
[21:01] <melancholicRegent> same for my character
[21:02] <PigBurner> oh hahaha
[21:02] <melancholicRegent> :)
[21:02] <melancholicRegent> also, I'm probably gonna end up running a mage
[21:03] <PigBurner> that's cool
[21:04] <melancholicRegent> but yeah, like we agreed, mostly motivated by self-intrest, and content to not risk anything in the back lines
[21:05] <PigBurner> hey i gotta go hit the pillow
[21:06] <melancholicRegent> ok, goodnight
[21:06] <PigBurner> we can keep talking about this later ok?
[21:06] <PigBurner> night night <3
[21:07] == PigBurner [[email protected]] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[21:07] <moldgrafSerpent> ... Anything you want to discuss that I can perhaps help with?
[21:08] <moldgrafSerpent> Or is PB leaving enough to mark this memo as over?
[21:08] <melancholicRegent> I don't know, we can still chat for a little bit
[21:08] <melancholicRegent> any tips for a first timer?
[21:09] <moldgrafSerpent> Nothing too in-depth
[21:09] <moldgrafSerpent> We won't be using a hard ruleset for this
[21:09] <moldgrafSerpent> So the most important thing, really, is remembering you're allowed to do anything
[21:10] <melancholicRegent> all right
[21:10] <melancholicRegent> I'm gonna go grab a snack, be right back
[21:11] <moldgrafSerpent> Au revoir
[21:20] <melancholicRegent> alright I'm back
[21:20] <moldgrafSerpent> Et bonjour
[21:20] <moldgrafSerpent> Miss me?
[21:20] <melancholicRegent> Sorry, that took longer than I expected it too.
[21:20] <melancholicRegent> Sure
[21:20] <moldgrafSerpent> S'all good
[21:20] <moldgrafSerpent> So, hey
[21:21] <moldgrafSerpent> One other thing
[21:21] <moldgrafSerpent> S'about ZT
[21:21] <melancholicRegent> ...
[21:21] <melancholicRegent> what about
[21:21] <moldgrafSerpent> I know you aren't so cool with the topic
[21:21] <moldgrafSerpent> And I'm sorry for bringing it up
[21:22] <melancholicRegent> No, its ok
[21:22] <moldgrafSerpent> You sure?
[21:22] <melancholicRegent> If the conversation ever gets uncomfortable, I'll just say something alright?
[21:22] <moldgrafSerpent> Deal
[21:22] <melancholicRegent> OK so...
[21:23] <moldgrafSerpent> S'about his game
[21:23] <moldgrafSerpent> Teamwork is apparently a key part of it, right?
[21:23] <melancholicRegent> Right.
[21:23] <moldgrafSerpent> You cool joining a team with me, PB, and UE?
[21:24] <melancholicRegent> I don't know UE that well
[21:24] <moldgrafSerpent> You don't know me that well either
[21:25] <melancholicRegent> I know you better than most
[21:25] <moldgrafSerpent> Easy there, Zogg
[21:25] <moldgrafSerpent> ... Too far?
[21:25] <melancholicRegent> No its fine.
[21:26] <moldgrafSerpent> Noted
[21:26] <moldgrafSerpent> It's a team game, is my point
[21:26] <moldgrafSerpent> UE's frustrated enough with ZT, that I've noticed
[21:26] <moldgrafSerpent> But mostly he was already online when we started figuring out teams
[21:27] <moldgrafSerpent> By which I mean... team
[21:27] <melancholicRegent> Alright, I'm fine with that
[21:27] <melancholicRegent> I assumed it would be one big team of all eight of us though
[21:28] <moldgrafSerpent> That would be the ideal situation
[21:29] <moldgrafSerpent> I just find it's easier to make things work out when everyone gets individually associated with it, rather than a by-and-large "we're all together now"
[21:29] <moldgrafSerpent> Bystander syndrome, y'know?
[21:29] <melancholicRegent> Yeah ok, fair enough
[21:29] <moldgrafSerpent> You're in, then?
[21:30] <melancholicRegent> Yeah I'm in
[21:30] <moldgrafSerpent> Magnifico
[21:31] <moldgrafSerpent> ... The fact that I'm inviting everyone to join my team shouldn't imply I have any desire to be captain, I assure you
[21:31] <moldgrafSerpent> I would be pretty much the worst at that
[21:31] <melancholicRegent> lol
[21:31] <melancholicRegent> I think you'd make a pretty good captain
[21:31] <moldgrafSerpent> But I *do* want to be part of a stable team
[21:31] <moldgrafSerpent> No, no no, don't say that
[21:31] <moldgrafSerpent> Especially not where someone else might see
[21:32] <melancholicRegent> I mean, compare yourself to PB
[21:32] <moldgrafSerpent> Even though this isn't really that public at all
[21:32] <melancholicRegent> She's a great friend, but she wouldn't make a good leader
[21:32] <moldgrafSerpent> He might
[21:32] <melancholicRegent> I'm definitely not fit for the role, and UE doesn't strike me as that much of a people person
[21:32] <melancholicRegent> Right he, I need to get better about that
[21:33] <moldgrafSerpent> You really do
[21:33] <moldgrafSerpent> You're half the reason I managed to work it out
[21:33] <moldgrafSerpent> Or rather, maybe a third
[21:33] <moldgrafSerpent> PB himself dropped two major hints
[21:34] <melancholicRegent> do tell
[21:34] <moldgrafSerpent> I'd rather not talk about him behind his back like this, if possible
[21:34] <melancholicRegent> Yeah that's fine
[21:34] <moldgrafSerpent> But the first involved a particular piece of clothing that most men don't wear
[21:35] <moldgrafSerpent> And the second involved hoping he would qualify as something that had been explicitly confirmed to be a girl
[21:35] <moldgrafSerpent> ... He's not very good at keeping secrets
[21:35] <melancholicRegent> No he isn't
[21:36] <moldgrafSerpent> Regardless
[21:36] <moldgrafSerpent> I am not a leader
[21:37] <melancholicRegent> Why do you say that?
[21:37] <moldgrafSerpent> Because I don't lead people
[21:37] <moldgrafSerpent> I'm more a... galvanizer
[21:37] <moldgrafSerpent> I tell people to get going and find a leader already
[21:37] <melancholicRegent> I guess
[21:38] <melancholicRegent> You can keep a cool head though, which is more than me and PB can say
[21:38] <moldgrafSerpent> I suppose
[21:38] <moldgrafSerpent> Was actually just talking to him about that, in fact
[21:39] <moldgrafSerpent> Having no sense of self-worth makes you basically impossible to needle, as it turns out
[21:39] <melancholicRegent> lol
[21:39] <melancholicRegent> Makes it hard for me to convince you of your better qualities though :p
[21:40] <moldgrafSerpent> Like leading?
[21:40] <melancholicRegent> Yeah for sure
[21:40] <moldgrafSerpent> MR
[21:40] <moldgrafSerpent> C'mon
[21:40] <moldgrafSerpent> I'm going around to people individually and asking if they want to join my team
[21:41] <moldgrafSerpent> M'not desperate enough to be in charge that I'd seriously do that for its own sake
[21:41] <melancholicRegent> We're listening though
[21:41] <melancholicRegent> Just saying
[21:41] <moldgrafSerpent> That's because everyone was already thinking it
[21:41] <moldgrafSerpent> S'a team game, of course we're gonna team up
[21:42] <melancholicRegent> Whatever
[21:43] <melancholicRegent> Thanks for inviting me too your team though
[21:44] <moldgrafSerpent> You're very welcome, of course
[21:44] <moldgrafSerpent> Happy to have you with us
[21:44] <melancholicRegent> I'm really happy to be there
[21:44] <melancholicRegent> I should probably get to know UE better
[21:45] <moldgrafSerpent> T'would be a good idea
[21:46] <moldgrafSerpent> Perhaps we should all get to know one another more
[21:46] <moldgrafSerpent> Especially if we're going to be playing two games together
[21:53] <melancholicRegent> Oh shit I gotta go
[21:53] <melancholicRegent> Lusus is acting up
[21:53] <melancholicRegent> See ya
[21:53] <moldgrafSerpent> Adieu
[21:54] <moldgrafSerpent> Perhaps we can decide a captain via vote when the game begins
[21:54] <moldgrafSerpent> A pleasure to have you, Razero
[21:54] <melancholicRegent> Yeah it was nice talking to you
[21:54] <melancholicRegent> bye
[21:54]  * melancholicRegent has left the memo
[21:55] <melancholicRegent> =========END========
