  1. (2:34:24 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "So." ]
  2. (2:35:01 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "Gossip travels faster than light. What do you know?" ]
  3. (2:39:41 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: I get the impression trolls in other universes have had more lethal and less lucky times of it.
  4. (2:40:17 PM) Ishda: ["I know that you're in a clubs situation, and you're the mediator. I know /nothing/ else."]
  5. (2:43:23 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "Can we assume there was about five-to-twenty minutes of whining and gnashing of my teeth right about here about Troll Romance and how I didn't--and don't--want any?" ]
  6. (2:44:25 PM) ***specificNihilism disconnects from the memo!
  7. (2:44:28 PM) specificNihilism left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  8. (2:46:03 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "And now everyone is sort of grinning and nudging me in the elbow and saying 'wow, good job, Eberhardt!'" ]
  9. (2:47:43 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "And I have no idea what /they're/ expecting from this point on: I've just signed myself up indefinitely for keeping the historical throwback and the sulky caste-minded needler apart, apparently. ]
  10. (2:48:49 PM) Ishda: [ >Echo nods, skipping a stone as best she can. It hops twice. ]
  11. (2:49:14 PM) astringentGilt: I have no idea what I just did.
  12. (2:49:30 PM) astringentGilt: But there are exploding Imps. Everywhere.
  13. (2:49:30 PM) mislaidLullaby: Hm?
  14. (2:49:36 PM) mislaidLullaby: ...
  15. (2:49:47 PM) Ishda: [ "Well. What happened, and how did it feel at the time? Were you aware of it being hopelessly ashen, or did you just stumble into it and get metaphorically winked-and-nudged at after the fact?" ]
  16. (2:49:48 PM) stanzicApparati: Well, try to describe it and -- huh.
  17. (2:50:02 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "And then insert an extended argument right here that we had a few days about about the ashen subtext in the triad of Fentin, Rallis, and Orolin in that Legends OAV and how I seriously do-no-get-this." ]
  18. (2:50:22 PM) astringentGilt: Okay, so I was /carefully/ pulling a shiny out of this hatted imp while his back was turned.
  19. (2:50:34 PM) astringentGilt: and suddenly every imp in sight exploded.
  20. (2:50:40 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "The latter. Not that Cyma and Bryn are particularly sublte or metaphorical." ]
  21. (2:51:02 PM) astringentGilt: and I have no idea how or why.
  22. (2:51:09 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "At the time..." Ross hunches over his knees, remembering. ]
  23. (2:51:31 PM) astringentGilt: But I have new hat now.
  24. (2:51:36 PM) astringentGilt: Why was he even wearing a hat?
  25. (2:51:43 PM) stanzicApparati: He was a boss imp.
  26. (2:51:48 PM) stanzicApparati: They have hats.
  27. (2:51:59 PM) stanzicApparati: It's the hat that makes them the boss, actually.
  28. (2:54:08 PM) astringentGilt: Well, this hat is pretty cool.
  29. (2:55:03 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "I'm sick of their bullshit. Been bawling them out, kicking, muting, and temp-banning for too goddamn long now, and it's undignified for everyone involved. Sets a poor example for irregulars and newbies that trolls can start caste-ist fuckery in here. Snaplock says things that Abel finds triggery-as-fuck, to say nothing of Ockzel or Icemount." ]
  30. (2:55:47 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "So instead of same-old-same-old, with varying degrees of dispassion, disgust, or bawling-them-out, I tried something different." ]
  31. (2:55:49 PM) Ishda is now known as serpentLinguist
  32. (2:56:37 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "And how'd it go?"]
  33. (2:57:13 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "Got their attention pointed somewhere else than eachother. Tried to make them listen. Fuck's sake, did you *see* what she said to Ock? If I could haul off and punch someone through the Ring, I'd have put a pipe through her eye-socket." ]
  34. (2:58:11 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "Snaplock got kicked. Ock sulked off after that, but at least he had the grace not to gloat that he wasn't the only troll standing this time." ]
  35. (2:58:26 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "I wasn't on, sorry. Cyma showed me everything from when Ock said "You just sit around and let your grunts do all the work for you, don't you?" ]
  36. (2:58:29 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "Progress?" A collossal -SHRUG- "I don't know." ]
  37. (2:59:08 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "You caught the worst of it, then. They were mostly just circling and beating their chests before that." ]
  38. (3:00:29 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "He had the 'grace' because you warned him off beforehand, methinks." Another stone, this one skipping only once. Fairly typical for her. "But. Most important question, and pardon the horribly stereotypical line. How did that make you feel?" ] ]
  39. (3:03:52 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "Before everyone started trying to tell me what was going on?" ]
  40. (3:04:50 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ Ross tries for the skip and just, -GLUB-, it splashes into the pond. Can't toss well if distracted. ]
  41. (3:05:38 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "Yeah." ]
  42. (3:05:39 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [>Ross: Chew on fingers and knuckles, on account of distraction and thinking. ]
  43. (3:07:35 PM) serpentLinguist: [ >Echo: hand him one of your rings to fiddle with - the snake one. ]
  44. (3:07:49 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: (( You know he's going to chew on it, right? ))
  45. (3:08:36 PM) serpentLinguist: (( She doesn't care. Better a ring than his fingers. ))
  46. (3:10:21 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ >Ross: Fiddle. Gnaw. ]
  47. (3:10:21 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "Righteously indignant: they don't have a right to treat eachother that way. Exasperated. Satisfaction: talking two people down from a pitched argument by getting in their grill makes you feel like a bit of a badass when it's pulled off correctly, you know?" ]
  48. (3:11:22 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "Keyed up, after doing all that." ]
  49. (3:11:35 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "Yeah." She comes to sit next to him, aimlessly tossing a rock so it splashes into the water with a loud 'plunk'. ]
  50. (3:12:07 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "And if you saw them doing the same sort of thing in the future, would you interfere again?" ]
  51. (3:13:02 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ " 'Cho, you've seen me. I've /been/ doing this." ]
  52. (3:13:51 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "So. You're mediating between them. Repeatedly. And it's not a bad thing for any of the parties involved, right?" ]
  53. (3:17:11 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ >Ross: Cradle head in hands. ]
  54. (3:18:29 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "Skaia help me, I'm in a *relationship* with /Snaplock/ and /Ockzel/ /Tewbor/ ." ]
  55. (3:18:58 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "I have no idea what this means." ]
  56. (3:21:10 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "It means exactly what I just said. You're mediating between them. Repeatedly. And it's not bad unless someone's uncomfortable with it, is it?" ]
  57. (3:21:54 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "I know it's considered a romance, but. Let's face it. They consider /pity/ and /hatred/ to be romantic." ]
  58. (3:22:35 PM) serpentLinguist: [ >Echo: smile. Drape an arm around his shoulders and kiss his forehead. ]
  59. (3:22:57 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "They aren't actually pity and hate most of the time and you know enough--" ]
  60. (3:23:13 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ >Ross: Train of thought interrupted by kissing. ]
  61. (3:23:27 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "Even trolls are unclear about that part. Ask Yer. He's adamant about it." ]
  62. (3:24:16 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "I am...uncomfortable." ]
  63. (3:24:34 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "Howso?" ]
  64. (3:25:15 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "I am uncomfortable with the idea that this is going to have five hundred other attached strings that I suddenly don't know about and am expected to care about when all I wanted was to stop two chuckleheads from tearing into eachother." ]
  65. (3:27:23 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "Well. You're only human. If there's a string that you weren't aware of? Point it out. Make sure Ock and Snaplock both are aware of this. You don't have to sugarcoat things for them. And if things start going in a direction you're not okay with, seriously, just tell them that." ]
  66. (3:28:15 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "And if you can't, or don't want to, or won't work it out between the three of you, break it off. If two of you are in accordance and the third isn't, get rid of the third and the other two can look for someone else who can /work/ in the given situation." ]
  67. (3:28:53 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "...does that make /any/ sense at all?" ]
  68. (3:33:15 PM) amaranthineSwell left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  69. (3:33:16 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ >Ross: Gnaw. ]
  70. (3:33:16 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: [ "Same stuff -Bryn- said. Looking for a different third is wasteful when I do the work better, it's a thankless job anyhow. Talking to -them- about it means admitting I know what I did. Which I didn't?" ]
  71. (3:33:55 PM) genesisArtificer [[email protected]] entered the room.
  72. (3:34:10 PM) ***genesisArtificer connected to the memo
  73. (3:34:18 PM) stanzicApparati: Hey, genart.
  74. (3:34:31 PM) genesisArtificer: hey
  75. (3:34:32 PM) ***stanzicApparati hugs genart
  76. (3:34:37 PM) ***genesisArtificer hugs
  77. (3:34:41 PM) genesisArtificer: Yes, hugs are good
  78. (3:34:42 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: Vitt!
  79. (3:34:46 PM) genesisArtificer: Ross!
  80. (3:34:51 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: How's it hopping, Space Cadet?
  81. (3:35:03 PM) genesisArtificer: The Frogs be mad man
  82. (3:35:26 PM) genesisArtificer: But seriously I am starting to panic a little
  83. (3:35:31 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: What about?
  84. (3:35:32 PM) genesisArtificer: It's been a month
  85. (3:35:53 PM) genesisArtificer: I am at earth for a month without any sight of my coplayers
  86. (3:36:01 PM) serpentLinguist: [ "I meant later, /if/ a problem comes up. I'm sure one of them will mention something about the relationship itself, and at that point, you can mention you don't have any idea what the hell you're doing." ]
  87. (3:36:06 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: Simultaneously restful and nerve-wracking.
  88. (3:36:25 PM) ***astringentGilt is no longer idle
  89. (3:36:29 PM) genesisArtificer: Prospitian quests are almost done 'xept of the mail quests
  90. (3:36:38 PM) astringentGilt: How Do I put shiny things back?!?
  91. (3:36:53 PM) genesisArtificer: ...
  92. (3:36:57 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: Let go of it. They'll -fwip- back on their own.
  93. (3:37:00 PM) genesisArtificer: youre Heart
  94. (3:37:10 PM) astringentGilt: ...whew.
  95. (3:37:11 PM) genesisArtificer: ok he got it
  96. (3:37:14 PM) astringentGilt: That was a bit scary.
  97. (3:37:26 PM) genesisArtificer: Ross is THE Smith of Heart here
  98. (3:37:31 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: Also.
  99. (3:37:33 PM) astringentGilt: I did by complete accident.
  100. (3:37:42 PM) genesisArtificer: don't worry about it
  101. (3:37:53 PM) genesisArtificer: Also what
  102. (3:38:12 PM) genesisArtificer: this also makes me curious
  103. (3:38:13 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: If it doesn't -fwip-, you didn't actually 'let go.' In which case hold the shiny up to your lips and sort of...gently brow, like a dandelion. Or brush it off your hands like something sticky.
  104. (3:38:13 PM) astringentGilt: I was just going to fix this drone and bam.
  105. (3:38:26 PM) astringentGilt: I had his shiny thing.
  106. (3:38:42 PM) futureVentricularPipefitter: Hey, you know your Class?

  112. (3:41:58 PM) ***futureVentricularPipefitter PMs "Froglord" ( There are these two chucklefucks of trolls that have been fighting and sniping and I've been kicking and muting their damn asses and the other day I tried something different, got in their grills, and talked them down. )

  119. (3:43:06 PM) stanzicApparati: Hello, coltas.
  120. (3:43:35 PM) ***futureVentricularPipefitter PMs "Froglord" ( There are three people involved. Three! How can this possibly be easier? )
  121. (3:43:59 PM) ***genesisArtificer PMs "c'estunepipe" : ( you have to be impartial, extert some form of authority and sometimes antagonize them a little to keep them in line )
  122. (3:43:59 PM) colourTaster: I am currently on a version of vvhat I think is Earth? I vvould do more research but my horns are not the sort that one can simply hide.
  123. (3:44:11 PM) stanzicApparati: Hm.
  124. (3:44:14 PM) ***genesisArtificer PMs "c'estunepipe" : ( and sometimes you have to be an arm to cry on )
  125. (3:44:20 PM) genesisArtificer: heh
  126. (3:44:26 PM) genesisArtificer: ... wait what are your horns
  127. (3:44:37 PM) stanzicApparati: ...actually, how would a troll go about hiding themselves on Earth? :?
  128. (3:45:04 PM) astringentGilt: Earth?
  129. (3:45:04 PM) genesisArtificer: well Dio was hiding himself in a room
