- -- technoBabbler [TB] started pestering artisticStitchings [AS] --
- [TB]: Hey, how've you held up in this bizarre game so far?
- [TB]: I'm dreaming and I ended in some place constructed entirely from what looks like Jade or a similar green material. Similar to Prospit and Derse where the others have ended up.
- [TB]: The people here are entirely red in color, and I can fly.
- [TB]: Found a crowd of protestors surrounding some businesswoman who seemingly made a hostile takeover of some local business(es) and I've been trailing her for a bit out of curiosity.
- [TB]: I'm currently stashed away in a dark corner of an office building of hers waiting for her to leave her personal office so I can slip inside and dig up some more info.
- [TB]: How's business on your end?
- Mariahla03/10/2019
- [AS]: [] did you know ThaT hoofbeasTs wiThouT an upper body exisT, and They also Talk
- [AS]: [] because i'm hoping im noT slowly going crazy
- [AS]: [] im also apparenTly a maid, aT leasT, ThaT's whaT a whiTe lady wiTh a carapace told me in ThaT golden planeT, gail mighT have Told you abouT it.
- [AS]: [] oh, and you won'T believe whaT i managed To do wiTh some of This game's sTuff
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)03/10/2019
- [TB]: I doubt you're going any crazier than you already are.
- [TB]: Gail didn't tell me about any titles or roles. I wonder if the people here might know something about that.
- [TB]: Is what you did with this game's stuff any crazier than an actual flaming leotard and knives combo? Surprise me.
- Mariahla03/11/2019
- [AS]: [] yes
- [AS]: [] i did The impossible, fixed the unfixable
- [AS]: [] do you remember The broken puppet i Told you about ThaT i've been Trying To fix buT couldn'T?
- [AS]: [] well one of The game's machines can do someThing ThaT leT me fix iT, and now i have The same arsenal as my ancesTor
- [AS]: [] i'm honesTly kind of amazed iT ended up being as simple as 'nearly die and geT TransporTed To anoTher world wiTh Talking hoofbeasts'
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)03/11/2019
- [TB]: Sounds pretty phenomenal, I suppose.
- [TB]: Remind me why is was so impossible to fix that puppet?
- Mariahla03/11/2019
- [AS]: [] someThing To do wiTh The parTs being magical in some way?
- [AS]: [] ThaT's The leasT bullshiT answer i've goTTen, aT leasT
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)03/11/2019
- [TB]: Can't say I'd be surprised at that by this point
- Mariahla03/11/2019
- [AS]: [] whaT was ThaT abouT a flaming leoTard?
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)03/11/2019
- [TB]: Gail found a literally flaming leotard and knives combo
- [TB]: They are genuinely on fire.
- --technoBabbler has sent imonfire.png--
- [TB]: Took this from her memo.
- [TB]: Honestly, if I were to hazard a guess, chances are that we'll be diving deep into quite a few rabbit holes
- Mariahla03/11/2019
- [AS]: [] jegus chrisT
- [AS]: [] are you sure she's noT a purpleblood in disguise
- [AS]: [] i also killed some weird creaTures, They had a black carapace buT They didn'T look like The ones from The golden planeT.
- [AS]: [] They also dropped gushers ThaT cannoT be puT in your invenTory when killed, which is The most curious Thing
- [AS]: [] seen one of Those before?
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)03/11/2019
- [TB]: Can't say I have. I fell asleep almost right after finishing my entry, and here I've been ever since.
- Mariahla03/11/2019
- [AS]: [] you're sTill sleeping?
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)03/11/2019
- [TB]: Yeah. Can't really risk waking up and letting my dreaming self fall out of thin air into an office complex.
- Mariahla03/20/2019
- [AS]: [] True enough, don'T you sTill have your Tower, Though?
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)03/20/2019
- [TB]: I do, but why would I suddenly abandon this venture of mine after having come this far? I'm literally in the belly of the beast right now and leaving will mean losing out on important information that could very well be important in the future.
- Mariahla03/20/2019
- [AS]: [] righT, your info.
- [AS]: [] wouldn'T iT be easier To barge in her office, confronT her direcTly?
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)03/20/2019
- [TB]: You forget that we work in very different environments with very different methods
- [TB]: Subtlety is important
- Mariahla03/20/2019
- [AS]: [] waiT, you're noT going To inTimidaTe her inTo Talking?
- [AS]: [] no
- [AS]: [] you're noT, yeah
- [AS]: [] i never goT your way of doing business
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)03/20/2019
- [TB]: Such things as decency and dignity exist. Intimidation mostly lacks both.
- Mariahla03/20/2019
- [AS]: [] legislaceraTion never really needed eiTher of Those Things
- [AS]: [] well neiTher do mosT Troll professions
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)03/20/2019
- [TB]: Hence why I said we work in/with different environments and methods
- [TB]: Your brand of business is all muscle from what you've told me
- [TB]: Meanwhile our brand of business is closer to a battle of gathering information and utilizing it to its fullest extent.
- Mariahla03/20/2019
- [AS]: [] always sounded very odd To me
- [AS]: [] noT always knowing 100% wheTher you're winning or losing
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)03/20/2019
- [TB]: Hearing that always makes me wonder what kinda of wacked-out systems of operation are used to run your entire civilization if various contextual matters of "winning" and "losing" are always in stark black and white
- Mariahla03/22/2019
- [AS]: [] you never really asked
- [AS]: [] buT iT mosTly involves hunTing oThers down and legislaceraTing Them
- [AS]: [] i suppose you could call iT bounTy hunTing
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)03/22/2019
- [TB]: I've known as much about your field of business. I was more referring to whatever else counts as a job occupation where you came from.
- Mariahla03/22/2019
- [AS]: [] normally you're eiTher a soldier or for some reason a merchanT of sorTs
- [AS]: [] merchanTs are Tricky To explain so mosT people defaulT to being a soldier, since ThaT's whaT you'll end up as regardless of carreer choice anyway
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)03/22/2019
- [TB]: Okay but why is soldier the predominant career option? Have I even asked this before?
- Mariahla03/22/2019
- [AS]: [] probably noT
- [AS]: [] The 'governmenT' needs soldiers to fighT Their inTergalacTic wars, so They Trick oThers To sTarT fighTing early on
- [AS]: [] iT's kind of like sopor, They geT you when you're young and vulnerable
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/01/2019
- [TB]: So it's forced indoctrination into endless military service, then. Can't say I'm surprised after all this time.
- Mariahla04/01/2019
- [AS]: [] preTTy much
- [AS]: [] There isn'T anyThing To do abouT iT aside from give in
- [AS]: [] some assholes Tried rebelling but that didn'T work
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/01/2019
- [TB]: Did you technically count as a soldier of any kind?
- Mariahla04/02/2019
- [AS]: [] bounTy hunTer.
- [AS]: [] i find legal cases To pursue, and i legislaceraTe whoever The TargeT is.
- [AS]: [] or are.
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/02/2019
- [TB]: So I'm guessing bounty hunter is another fringe case of job occupation?
- Mariahla04/02/2019
- [AS]: [] preTTy much.
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/02/2019
- [TB]: Well, I can say with certainty that I understand why the application of subtlety and other such principles to business is/was so foreign to you.
- Mariahla04/05/2019
- [AS]: [] normally we jusT kill who we wanT
- [AS]: [] or ThreaTen Them To if we need Them alive
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/05/2019
- [TB]: Yeah, I definitely see that now. I could almost say I relate to it with recent events in my life.
- Mariahla04/05/2019
- [AS]: [] mighT i suggesT Trying iT yourself someTime?
- [AS]: [] iT's worked well for us
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/05/2019
- [TB]: No thanks. Under no circumstance do I want to go through that again.
- Mariahla04/05/2019
- [AS]: [] Through whaT?
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/05/2019
- [TB]: Taking the life of someone else for wanton reasons. I already double-tapped some suicidal girl strapped with magic blood-bombs and it still leaves me sick to my stomach remembering it and how almost casually I did it.
- Mariahla04/06/2019
- [AS]: [] whaT? you never Told me abouT ThaT.
- [AS]: [] hm. leT's sTop Talking abouT This, Then.
- [AS]: [] i guess a planeT of warriors is more accosTumed To casual killing.
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/06/2019
- [TB]: Yes, they would be.
- Mariahla04/11/2019
- [[i think mariah wouldn't actually respond to that]]
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/11/2019
- [TB]: Moving on from that unpleasantry, where have you ended up since entering?
- Mariahla04/11/2019
- [AS]: [] hoofbeasT land
- [AS]: [] for some reason They have sTeam pumps and machines all over Their ciTy
- [AS]: [] even Though They don'T have hands
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/12/2019
- [TB]: So a steampunk world inhabited by anthropomorphic horse-people without humanoid hands?
- [TB]: Sounds about right after learning about Gail's new habitat
- Mariahla04/12/2019
- [AS]: [] and ThaT is?
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/12/2019
- [TB]: She's in some sort of gargantuan metallic tree with candles on its branches, covered with fog or something like it, with a sea of books below from what I understood.
- [TB]: Said tree is inhabited by rooster-people
- Mariahla04/13/2019
- [AS]: [] i would say her place is a biT more bizarre Than mine
- [AS]: [] whaT abouT you? Taken a look yeT?
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/13/2019
- [TB]: All I've seen so far is that I and everyone I brought with me ended up in a courtyard of sorts.
- Mariahla04/13/2019
- [AS]: [] a courTyard? like, a casTle one?
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/13/2019
- [TB]: Can't even say for sure about that.
- [TB]: It's just a courtyard of sorts
- [TB]: I crashed asleep as soon as I made sure everyone was okay and I've been in greenland ever since.
- Mariahla04/13/2019
- [AT]: [] i see
- [AT]: [] i wonder whaT The differences beTween The golden dream place and yours is
- [AT]: [] They're obviously connecTed
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/15/2019
- [TB]: Hell if I know.
- [TB]: I barely know anything about this place, let alone the others
- Mariahla04/18/2019
- [AS]: gold place is a monarchy
- [AS]: ThaT's all i remember from iT
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/18/2019
- [TB]: I'll keep that in mind while I'm here, however long that will be. If everything takes as long as this lady is taking in her office, I'll have plenty of time to learn.
- Mariahla04/18/2019
- [AS]: [] how long have you even been There
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/18/2019
- [TB]: Haven't really kept track. Maybe an hour or a few.
- Mariahla04/19/2019
- [AS]: [] well i can definiTely see why you're messaging me now
- [AS]: [] do you know anyThing about a ghosT Thing That's supposed To help you ouT or whaTever
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/20/2019
- [TB]: Care to explain further?
- Mariahla04/23/2019
- [AS]: [] iT came ouT of The ToTem creaTor Thing
- [AS]: [] you puT sTuff in iT and iT fuses wiTh The sTuff
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/23/2019
- [TB]: Oh, you mean the Sprite.
- [TB]: Can't give you any more info than anyone else, seeing as I've barely been awake long enough just to see where I ended up.
- Mariahla04/23/2019
- [AS]: [] ThaT's iT's name?
- [AS]: [] sounds like a soda brand
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/23/2019
- [TB]: In a sense, you're not wrong.
- [TB]: In this case, the term refers more to mythological or video game sprites, I'm guessing
- Mariahla04/24/2019
- [AS]: [] well
- [AS]: [] whaT did you puT in yours
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/24/2019
- [TB]: Threw a wrench into mine.
- [TB]: I'll probably see what else can be done with it after I finally finish my business here in dreamland.
- [TB]: Gail wants to try something with it and the psycho I... disposed of. She's got a strong sense of empathy.
- Mariahla04/28/2019
- [AS]: [] won'T ThaT just give you a dead body
- [AS]: [] or
- [AS]: [] will iT?
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/29/2019
- [TB]: Don't know, really. Won't know until Gail tries it or I wake up to see that she already has.
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)04/29/2019
- [TB]: Have you done anything else with your sprite?
- Mariahla05/02/2019
- [AS]: [] aside from puTTing in one of The mosT dangerous puppeTeers in iT?
- [AS]: [] noT really
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)05/03/2019
- [TB]: Try seeing what else there is to do. We'd be smart to try getting every advantage we can in this twisted game.
- Mariahla05/11/2019
- [AS]: [] currenTly in a library so i can'T
- [AS] [] also i don'T know how To go back To my hive
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)05/11/2019
- [TB]: That's unfortunate. What kind of library are you stuck in that's keeping you from getting back home?
- Mariahla05/15/2019
- [AS]: [] uh
- [AS]: [] a book one
- [AS]: [] whaT i mean is i sTepped Through a porTal and iT TeleporTed me away somewhere and now i don'T know where my hive is
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)05/15/2019
- [TB]: I see. Guess I'll have to keep that in mind for when I eventually wake up.
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)Last Saturday at 6:19 PM
- [TB]: Anything else to report on or talk about?
- MariahlaToday at 11:13 AM
- [AS]: [] noT aT The momenT, no.
- Jakob Princeton [TB] (tzivos)Today at 11:16 AM
