  3. Sep 11 18:54:15 * Now talking on #RuseCruise
  4. Sep 11 18:54:15 * irc.broke-it.com sets mode +n on #RuseCruise
  5. Sep 11 18:54:15 * irc.broke-it.com sets mode +t on #RuseCruise
  6. Sep 11 18:54:19 * You've invited Kaichi to #RuseCruise (irc.broke-it.com)
  7. Sep 11 18:54:30 * CritSenpai (~CritSenpa@Rizon-2D2B5C14.phlapa.fios.verizon.net) has joined
  8. Sep 11 18:56:42 * Kaichi (~BusterBee@Rizon-3F3AA704.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined
  9. Sep 11 18:57:09 <Kaichi> Hello.
  10. Sep 11 18:57:10 <Ecthel> The MFV needs to go get a drink, but what're you bringing with you in the Hamster Ball?
  11. Sep 11 18:57:15 <Ecthel> Besides yourself
  12. Sep 11 18:57:47 <Kaichi> The souls he gathered from the device
  13. Sep 11 18:59:23 <Ecthel> According to your esteemed Dust Servant, the wait's been long enough that you should have more than enough for the trip there and back to... wherever it is you're going.
  14. Sep 11 18:59:36 <Ecthel> Climb inside the hamster ball?
  15. Sep 11 19:00:02 <Kaichi> pretend my name is eolia lol
  16. Sep 11 19:00:06 <Ecthel> lol
  17. Sep 11 19:00:10 <Ecthel> I will do this.
  18. Sep 11 19:00:13 <Kaichi> I suppose I must.
  19. Sep 11 19:00:30 <Kaichi> I trust this will be worth the effort.
  20. Sep 11 19:00:58 <Ecthel> "I am absolutely sure of it."
  21. Sep 11 19:01:36 <Kaichi> * Eolia heads inside with her dust servants
  22. Sep 11 19:02:10 <Ecthel> Nothing happens for a while, until you accidentally move enough to make it start rolling, at which point... your view of the outside (the material is see-through) begins to blur, the colors running together. After a while you go through the wall of your room, though you don't hear a crash or anything similar.
  23. Sep 11 19:03:00 <Ecthel> The familiar houses and streets of New Amphis give way to a pulsating green and blue aurora which surrounds you. Apart from the inside of the craft and its contents, there don't really seem to be distinct objects wherever it is you are.
  24. Sep 11 19:03:26 <Ecthel> The Soul Antenna shakes a bit as it begins to expend the energy that's been collected. Roll Life Force.
  25. Sep 11 19:03:45 <Kaichi> (sorry sec lOL)
  26. Sep 11 19:04:02 <Kaichi> !roll 6d6
  27. Sep 11 19:04:07 <Kaichi> (how does this work)
  28. Sep 11 19:04:08 <Ecthel> lol
  29. Sep 11 19:04:10 <Ecthel> 1d6
  30. Sep 11 19:04:10 <CritSenpai> 1d6: 3 [1d6=3]
  31. Sep 11 19:04:14 <Ecthel> 4d6+2+5
  32. Sep 11 19:04:14 <CritSenpai> 4d6+2+5: 18 [4d6=2,1,4,4]
  33. Sep 11 19:04:17 <Kaichi> 6d6
  34. Sep 11 19:04:17 <CritSenpai> 6d6: 28 [6d6=6,4,6,5,6,1]
  35. Sep 11 19:04:36 <Kaichi> (dat fucking roll)
  36. Sep 11 19:04:44 <Ecthel> ( ;) )
  37. Sep 11 19:05:28 <Kaichi> I can't claim to understand what is going on here.
  38. Sep 11 19:05:34 <Ecthel> You can feel the air pressing down on your skin. Dust Soldier whines, while Dust Servant curses under its breath. You're fairly certain that there's no way the others in the group could have survived the trip unscathed. Even with your own potent flame of life, you feel kind of nauseous.
  39. Sep 11 19:05:38 <Ecthel> It's worth thinking on. Edu: Planes?
  40. Sep 11 19:05:55 <Kaichi> 6d6+3
  41. Sep 11 19:05:56 <CritSenpai> 6d6+3: 26 [6d6=1,6,2,4,6,4]
  42. Sep 11 19:07:17 <Ecthel> You get the feeling brushing up on that skill before coming here was a good idea. After considering it for a minute, you're probably in Between at the moment - the umbrella term for the space between realms of existence. The lack of distinct objects is a sign of this. There's no Logos or Artifice here to make sense of things, everything is just an orderless slurry of Flow.
  43. Sep 11 19:07:41 <Kaichi> Fascinating...
  44. Sep 11 19:07:48 <Ecthel> Souls, being aligned with Flow as they are, thankfully function as a shield from you being rejected by this environment.
  45. Sep 11 19:07:52 <Kaichi> I did not imagine I would be able to witness this in my lifetime.
  46. Sep 11 19:08:03 * Kaichi furiously jots down some notes
  47. Sep 11 19:08:34 <Ecthel> "Neither did I, sir, but I think other sights more fasicnating still may await us. Why was this craft constructed, and where is it going?.."
  48. Sep 11 19:09:00 <Kaichi> I suppose we have no choice but to find out.
  49. Sep 11 19:09:55 <Ecthel> You continue to hurtle through Between. Your sense of time feels kind of thrown off, so it's difficult to say for how long, but eventually you get thrown into the craft's walls as you go THUMP against something.
  50. Sep 11 19:10:25 <Kaichi> Tsk. You think they could have implemented air bags.
  51. Sep 11 19:10:52 <Kaichi> Can I see anything outside?
  52. Sep 11 19:10:58 <Ecthel> The slurry of unfiltered color slowly begins to give way to something that looks like a starry sky. Off in the distance you can see what look like seven... pillars of light? It's akin to that, anyway. One of them changes colors furiously, cycling through the rainbow - the others are constant. There is, interestingly, no violet pillar.
  53. Sep 11 19:11:34 <Ecthel> Anything else... you can see shifting forms, but there isn't much light apart from what I just mentioned, so it's difficult to make them out. Gimme perception if you wanna study them, though.
  54. Sep 11 19:11:45 <Kaichi> 2d6+3
  55. Sep 11 19:11:45 <CritSenpai> 2d6+3: 10 [2d6=4,3]
  56. Sep 11 19:12:30 <Kaichi> I suppose the violet pillar is the one that is flashing then.
  57. Sep 11 19:12:34 <Kaichi> I do wonder what that means.
  58. Sep 11 19:12:36 <Ecthel> Perhaps!
  59. Sep 11 19:13:15 <Ecthel> You can't make them out clearly enough to make any kind of attempt at identifying them, but they're clearly not humans or anything else you've seen before. They seem to change their shape every now and again, too. A few hover within a few paces of the Hamster Ball, possibly watching you.
  60. Sep 11 19:13:34 <Ecthel> You also notice that there's a hard surface underneath the wall you crashed into. Some kind of path?
  61. Sep 11 19:14:06 <Kaichi> How dangerous do they seem?
  62. Sep 11 19:14:22 <Kaichi> I am unsure if leaving the ark is such a great idea, but I am interested in that path.
  63. Sep 11 19:14:56 <Ecthel> "To tell you the truth, I'm surprised they haven't attacked us yet, Master. I am curious as to where we are, though."
  64. Sep 11 19:15:06 <Ecthel> Sizing the situation up... can I get Intuition?
  65. Sep 11 19:15:15 <Kaichi> 2d6
  66. Sep 11 19:15:15 <CritSenpai> 2d6: 3 [2d6=1,2]
  67. Sep 11 19:15:26 <Kaichi> Hm.
  68. Sep 11 19:16:09 <Ecthel> You have no clue at all.
  69. Sep 11 19:16:31 <Kaichi> I suppose I must take the safe approach and follow the path in the ark.
  70. Sep 11 19:16:44 <Ecthel> "Do you think we could... push it?"
  71. Sep 11 19:17:00 <Kaichi> Let us try and find out.
  72. Sep 11 19:17:15 * Kaichi starts walking in that direction
  73. Sep 11 19:18:02 <Ecthel> It's not too hard to do so, just a bit awkward and requiring you keep your balance. The ones that stopped to observe(?) you follow along, and you can make out what sounds like faint clicking noises.
  74. Sep 11 19:18:26 <Kaichi> This is quite... unsettling.
  75. Sep 11 19:18:43 <Ecthel> "..?"
  76. Sep 11 19:19:05 <Kaichi> Those creatures, I do wish I knew whether or not I could trust them.
  77. Sep 11 19:19:26 <Ecthel> The path seems to be heading towards the aforementioned pillars. As you get closer what seems to be a stone structure with columns, quite a classical form of architecture, behind them. But that's not what catches your attention.
  78. Sep 11 19:19:46 <Kaichi> (sorry brb rq)
  79. Sep 11 19:19:53 <Ecthel> (kk tell me when you're back)
  80. Sep 11 19:21:08 <Kaichi> (back lol
  81. Sep 11 19:21:57 <Kaichi> Well, what catches my attention?
  82. Sep 11 19:23:24 <Ecthel> There's a writhing mass of what appears to be flesh at the center of the pillars. Cords of blood tie each of them to the glowing lights, and you hear the sounds of bodies squishing against one another. Around this mass are seven symbols etched into the ground, illuminated by the light. One of the eyes in the mound stares at you. Some of the creatures from before are strewn about - they seem to have three heads, these ones, and they're
  83. Sep 11 19:23:24 <Ecthel> bleeding out.
  84. Sep 11 19:23:47 <Ecthel> You're close enough to examine the defining feature of this place now, so take another Edu: Planes to identify it.
  85. Sep 11 19:24:30 <Kaichi> 6d6+3
  86. Sep 11 19:24:30 <CritSenpai> 6d6+3: 28 [6d6=2,6,2,4,6,5]
  87. Sep 11 19:24:39 <Kaichi> (im rollin high today)
  88. Sep 11 19:24:49 <Ecthel> (good timing this had a fuckhigh dc lol)
  89. Sep 11 19:25:57 <Ecthel> There's no mistaking it. You're in the Divaec Plane, where the gods that grant Priestly humans magic reside. The lights are likely this plane's way of representing their conduits into the material world. You can't make heads or tails of the symbols, though - that'd definitely be an Edu: Religions kind of deal.
  90. Sep 11 19:26:26 <Ecthel> The lack of beings that LOOK like higher powers is readily apparent.
  91. Sep 11 19:26:28 <Ecthel> "What the fuck?"
  92. Sep 11 19:27:02 <Kaichi> That certainly does not seem... natural.
  93. Sep 11 19:27:32 <Ecthel> "Is that eye staring at us?"
  94. Sep 11 19:28:02 * Kaichi attempts to shift around to see if its truly looking directly at them
  95. Sep 11 19:28:25 <Ecthel> The three-headed kind-of humanoids have also noticed you by now. The ones with mouths are definitely crying. A few have eyes out of which a yellow, blood like substance flows.
  96. Sep 11 19:28:34 <Ecthel> Oh, I actually forgot one minor detail.
  97. Sep 11 19:28:43 <Ecthel> Remember those things you threw into the portal on top of the parking garage?
  98. Sep 11 19:28:54 <Kaichi> How could I forget?
  99. Sep 11 19:29:04 <Ecthel> They're next to the pillar that's changing constantly. You can see what looks like stiches in the air there, too.
  100. Sep 11 19:29:19 <Ecthel> The eye in the mound is definitely looking directly at you.
  101. Sep 11 19:29:51 <Kaichi> Hm.
  102. Sep 11 19:29:57 * Kaichi attempts to speak to it
  103. Sep 11 19:30:01 <Kaichi> Hello there.
  104. Sep 11 19:31:02 <Ecthel> Roll Id.
  105. Sep 11 19:31:11 <Kaichi> 2d6+3
  106. Sep 11 19:31:12 <CritSenpai> 2d6+3: 13 [2d6=5,5]
  107. Sep 11 19:32:03 <Ecthel> You notice something - a very weak impulse to "help" the being in whatever way you could think of presses against your mind. You definitely didn't put it there, but it also doesn't feel malicious. Possibly just this strange thing's way of communicating.
  108. Sep 11 19:32:29 <Kaichi> It is a detestable form... but that does not necessarily make it evil.
  109. Sep 11 19:32:39 <Kaichi> I am unsure of how I could aid it, however.
  110. Sep 11 19:33:15 <Ecthel> "Me neither, Master. The idea of doing anything to it sends chills down my... I don't have a spine, but you know."
  111. Sep 11 19:33:27 <Ecthel> "Perhaps we could at least put its... companions out of their misery?
  112. Sep 11 19:33:54 <Kaichi> Does that truly seem wise?
  113. Sep 11 19:34:20 <Kaichi> They do quite seem like they're suffering...
  114. Sep 11 19:34:25 <Ecthel> I can't really answer that question. You could get out of the Ark to examine them further if you think that'd help you make a judgment.
  115. Sep 11 19:34:44 <Ecthel> For what it's worth, the observing creatures stopped on the perimeter of this platform, and none of the roamers seem to be approaching it.
  116. Sep 11 19:35:02 <Kaichi> Very well then.
  117. Sep 11 19:35:06 <Kaichi> Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
  118. Sep 11 19:35:10 * Kaichi exits the ark
  119. Sep 11 19:35:39 <Ecthel> You... are able to breathe, possibly surprisingly. The air is deathly cold, though. Staying inside earlier was probably a wise decision.
  120. Sep 11 19:36:02 <Kaichi> Too late to go back in?
  121. Sep 11 19:36:11 <Ecthel> Soldier comes along, pressing against your leg protectively. Servant continues staring at the eye.
  122. Sep 11 19:36:21 <Ecthel> Well, you're gonna wither or anything, but would you have liked to walk here in this cold?
  123. Sep 11 19:36:35 <Kaichi> I see.
  124. Sep 11 19:36:39 <Ecthel> ... The observers make louder clicking sounds. A few of the others roaming in the distance stop.
  125. Sep 11 19:36:49 * Kaichi goes up to one of the bleeding creatures
  126. Sep 11 19:38:14 <Ecthel> Upon closer examination, you can see two burn marks on the upper part of its back. It seems like a limb of some sort used to be connected here? These are the closest to humans you've seen, apart from the three heads - one has eyes, one has a mouth, the last one has the nose and ears. They also have four arms, and seem to be rather physically fit.
  127. Sep 11 19:38:27 <Ecthel> Apart from the large variety of wounds they're bleeding profusely from, of course.
  128. Sep 11 19:38:58 * Kaichi tries to examine them medically?? do they even have a pulse or anything or maybe just figuring out their biological processes idk
  129. Sep 11 19:39:05 <Kaichi> 5d6+3
  130. Sep 11 19:39:06 <CritSenpai> 5d6+3: 17 [5d6=2,5,3,1,3]
  131. Sep 11 19:39:08 <Ecthel> It's worth a go!
  132. Sep 11 19:40:13 <Ecthel> They do have a pulse, actually. They seem to calm down a tiny bit as you touch and examine them, but only slightly. The golden fluid stains your clothes a bit. As for what you find out...
  133. Sep 11 19:42:04 <Ecthel> These are extremely old wounds, long enough that you can't tell when they happened other than "a long as fuck time ago." More than years. Which means there's no way they should still be bleeding from them, or they should be alive. They must be being sustained by some other mechanism, but the hemorraging seems to be limitless. From what you can peek at their internal anatomy, they are strikingly similar to humans - though they seem to have
  134. Sep 11 19:42:04 <Ecthel> three of every organ, apart from the stomach. Presumably having three heads is not very efficient.
  135. Sep 11 19:42:48 <Ecthel> They are in an amount of pain you would probably have difficulty imagining, judging by their condition and facial expressions.
  136. Sep 11 19:43:36 <Kaichi> Is there any hope of being able to treat them?
  137. Sep 11 19:43:46 <Kaichi> I suppose there wouldn't be.
  138. Sep 11 19:44:20 <Kaichi> Does the flesh mass respond in any way when I examine them actually?
  139. Sep 11 19:44:26 <Ecthel> ... You actually get the sense that, with enough time and effort, you could potentially do so. There definitely is hope for them to make a recovery. And dying while waiting for aid doesn't seem to be in the cards, since they've survived this long.
  140. Sep 11 19:45:09 <Ecthel> Good question! There are a few more eyes looking at you. They seem to be pleading for something in regards to its companions(?).
  141. Sep 11 19:46:27 <Kaichi> Last question, how many of them are there?
  142. Sep 11 19:46:58 <Ecthel> Fourteen.
  143. Sep 11 19:47:29 <Kaichi> What do you suppose, my servant?
  144. Sep 11 19:47:47 <Kaichi> I cannot decide whether to save or slay these creatures.
  145. Sep 11 19:48:03 <Kaichi> I do not wish to get on that... entity's bad side.
  146. Sep 11 19:48:15 <Ecthel> "They seem to be fighting awful hard to stay alive, if you ask me."
  147. Sep 11 19:48:22 <Ecthel> After he says that, all the eyes glare daggers at him.
  148. Sep 11 19:49:02 <Ecthel> The flesh eyes, I mean. Companions continue to do their thing.
  149. Sep 11 19:49:29 <Kaichi> Well, let me ask you then.
  150. Sep 11 19:49:42 * Kaichi hopes to address the flesh mass
  151. Sep 11 19:49:50 <Kaichi> Do you want me to slay them?
  152. Sep 11 19:49:57 * Kaichi waits for any sort of response
  153. Sep 11 19:50:02 <Ecthel> Roll Id again.
  154. Sep 11 19:51:15 <Kaichi> 2d6
  155. Sep 11 19:51:15 <CritSenpai> 2d6: 6 [2d6=2,4]
  156. Sep 11 19:51:19 <Kaichi> +3
  157. Sep 11 19:52:08 <Ecthel> You feel like you're getting mentally pressed upon by both the mass and the companions now. They definitely want to live, while the thing at the center is feeling... guilt? It definitely doesn't enjoy their presence, for whatever reason.
  158. Sep 11 19:52:30 <Ecthel> "If I may, sir, I don't think the thing at the center can actually harm us of its own volition. It would have done so already."
  159. Sep 11 19:52:47 <Kaichi> Very well then.
  160. Sep 11 19:52:52 <Kaichi> I will see if I can save them.
  161. Sep 11 19:53:08 <Kaichi> I do not suppose I can provide adequate medical care here, though, yes?
  162. Sep 11 19:53:56 <Ecthel> Probably not, and the chill's starting to get to you. These two things also seem connected, so removing the companions seems... dicey.
  163. Sep 11 19:54:04 <Ecthel> At the very least you could stop the bleeding from one or two of them, though.
  164. Sep 11 19:54:16 <Kaichi> I will do so and head back into the ark, then.
  165. Sep 11 19:54:46 <Ecthel> I won't make you roll for that, it's pretty simple. The center mass writhes and thrashes against its bonds(?) as you do so, but it doesn't break them.
  166. Sep 11 19:55:39 <Ecthel> The two you bandage look towards you with their six heads with what you can only intrepret as gratitude before... shooting pressurized bloodout of their mouth? It looks like a water fountain, almost - they seem to want you to collect it. As thanks, maybe?
  167. Sep 11 19:55:58 <Kaichi> I will gladly accept any blood that is sprayed at me.
  168. Sep 11 19:56:09 * Kaichi bottles some of it up
  169. Sep 11 19:56:19 <Ecthel> Got 4x Vials of ??? Blood.
  170. Sep 11 19:56:34 <Ecthel> You get a distinct feeling this will be very useful for the tribulations that are likely to occur in the near future.
  171. Sep 11 19:57:01 <Kaichi> I do wonder how that blob fits into all of this.
  172. Sep 11 19:57:14 <Ecthel> "This has given us a lot to think on, Master."
  173. Sep 11 19:57:21 <Kaichi> I suppose so.
  174. Sep 11 19:57:24 <Kaichi> Shall we head back?
  175. Sep 11 19:57:34 <Ecthel> "I am sure if you consider all the pertinent information, your considerable intellect will be able to work it out."
  176. Sep 11 19:57:55 <Kaichi> It is unfortunate that my MFV is not as intelligent as I am.
  177. Sep 11 19:58:01 <Ecthel> lel
  178. Sep 11 19:58:21 <Ecthel> The soldier hisses with affirmation at the suggestion of getting the fuck out. You all climb in the Hamster Ball and it immediately pushes you off the platform. The slurry of blue and green Between returns for a while before you arrive in your room, the same as you left it.
  179. Sep 11 19:58:45 <Ecthel> ... Well, that definitely happened. I wonder if it fits into this at all?
  180. Sep 11 19:58:46 <Kaichi> ...
  181. Sep 11 19:58:56 <Kaichi> This has left me with more questions than answers, if anything.
  182. Sep 11 19:59:06 <Ecthel> Well, that's the life of a scientist, isn't it?
  183. Sep 11 19:59:12 <Kaichi> I suppose so.
  184. Sep 11 19:59:15 <Kaichi> I will rest on these revelations.
  185. Sep 11 19:59:37 <Kaichi> (wanna save these logs for me lol)
  186. Sep 11 19:59:38 <Ecthel> Aaaand /session
  187. Sep 11 19:59:41 <Ecthel> done lol
  188. Sep 11 19:59:48 <Kaichi> (thanks fam)
  189. Sep 11 19:59:53 <Kaichi> (btw im so fucking high)
  190. Sep 11 19:59:55 <Ecthel> I hope it was sufficiently !?!?!?
