<zoroastrianTextuary> ==START==
<The_Boss> Hello, stranger.
<zoroastrianTextuary> greetings, Adanne.
<zoroastrianTextuary> wait
<The_Boss> I do not think I know who you are... you appeared rather suddenly the other day.
<The_Boss> Adanne?
<zoroastrianTextuary> The Boss**
<zoroastrianTextuary> ...ignore that....
<The_Boss> Heh, there you go
<zoroastrianTextuary> ((that was IC))
<zoroastrianTextuary> ((not an actual typo))
<The_Boss> ((I figured lol)
<The_Boss> So... who are you?
<zoroastrianTextuary> i am not sure what to call myself.
<zoroastrianTextuary> call me Zogg. it seems like a fine name.
<The_Boss> I can understand that. I lost my name a long time ago.
<zoroastrianTextuary> oh, that explains it.
<zoroastrianTextuary> i can help you find it once more.
<The_Boss> Don't.
<The_Boss> It is in the past, tied to what I did before
<zoroastrianTextuary> i shall respect your wishes, then.
<The_Boss> Thank you. Names are given, titles are earned anyways. I am prouder of being the boss anyways heh
<The_Boss> (nice double anyways, me. ugh)
<zoroastrianTextuary> the boss of whom?
<The_Boss> It depends. I used to be Mother Wolf and was the commander of a small organization known as The Pack. That was the first position I was referred to as the boss of.
<zoroastrianTextuary> ((crap, be back in 10 minutes))
<The_Boss> (okie dokie)
<zoroastrianTextuary> ((chaotic neutral i see))
<The_Boss> (no love for anything or qualms on getting it done... I'd say thats about right.)
<zoroastrianTextuary> ((shit that was 18 minutes))
<zoroastrianTextuary> interesting. go on.
<The_Boss> (oh like I was counting)
<The_Boss> Currently, I do freelance wetwork
<The_Boss> Sometimes it is as simple as removing an unwanted pest from someone's property
<The_Boss> Other times, it is leading guerrilla forces against whatever they ask me too
<The_Boss> My job is many things but it certainly not boring or predicable
<zoroastrianTextuary> hmm.
<zoroastrianTextuary> i don't have much of a "job", per se.
<The_Boss> Are you young?
<zoroastrianTextuary> i have lived through approximately 12 Earth-Sol revolutions.
<The_Boss> A lot of the humans I encounter do not have jobs at that age
<zoroastrianTextuary> true.
<The_Boss> Last time I checked
<The_Boss> I am about 20 or so Earth years
<zoroastrianTextuary> 20...?
<The_Boss> Yes.
<zoroastrianTextuary> many of the previous players were never more than 18....
<The_Boss> Soon, I will be claimed into the ranks of the Alternian army.
<The_Boss> They did seem young. I expected as much.
<The_Boss> Perhaps that is why I have an unyielding disdain for some of them
<zoroastrianTextuary> unyielding disdain? a bit harsh, in my opinion.
<zoroastrianTextuary> you'll all have to learn to get along very soon.
<The_Boss> I could do that. I have worked with worse
<The_Boss> Are you hiring me?
<zoroastrianTextuary> me specifically? no.
<The_Boss> Very well.
<zoroastrianTextuary> let's just say that there are some entities that you wouldn't want to meet, and in order to escape them, you'll have to work together.
<The_Boss> I was going to say that if you are asking me to kill one of your peers, I do not perform assassinations on children.
<The_Boss> The army? Well, I thought I was the only one to be ordered to join
<The_Boss> The rest are on Earth, which I do not believe demands such
<The_Boss> And the Empress is the only one I could imagine that you mean by "entity"
<zoroastrianTextuary> said entities are practically impossible to defeat directly. it took a team of ten gods, just to take down two.
<zoroastrianTextuary> and that was while they were in a weakened form.
<The_Boss> If you know more, tell me
<zoroastrianTextuary> i do know more, but nothing else that can be revealed until the day comes.
<The_Boss> I do not like surprise information in a life-or-death situation
<The_Boss> Why are you withholding this informatino
<zoroastrianTextuary> if i reveal the information now, the day shall be hastened.
<The_Boss> What is this day exactly
<zoroastrianTextuary> the day the universe meets its end.
<The_Boss> You claim to know the events that will trigger an Armageddon-class event but you refrain from sharing them
<The_Boss> You must understand my doubts in your validity
<The_Boss> I do not think you are trying to pull a joke on me, but you could be over reacting
<zoroastrianTextuary> maybe i could. maybe they'll just pass on over.
<The_Boss> Is your safety in jeopardy if I continue to press you for answers?
<The_Boss> If you are correct and serious, this is something I would need to prepare for immediantly
<zoroastrianTextuary> this isn't an event you can prepare for.
<The_Boss> So why tell me about it at all then?
<zoroastrianTextuary> realms outside this universe are governed by a vastly different set of laws.
<The_Boss> If I can not know the details nor do anything about it, why tell me at all?
<The_Boss> And you know this how?
<zoroastrianTextuary> the books given to me have given me the required foresight.
<The_Boss> Where could I find a copy of these titles
<zoroastrianTextuary> some are books you've probably hear of.
<zoroastrianTextuary> Also Sprach Zarathustra, by Friedrich Nietzsche.
<zoroastrianTextuary> various texts originating from many religious systems, both human and alternian.
<zoroastrianTextuary> many are common textbooks for lessons learned in a traditional education system.
<zoroastrianTextuary> the texts in question i refer to are not as common.
<zoroastrianTextuary> the Book of the Void is the one most cited.
<The_Boss> So this is a theory
<zoroastrianTextuary> technically, it is a theory. from our perspective, events i refer to have not happened yet, and since neither of us have access to any form of time travel as of now, neither of us can witness the events that will unfold without waiting for them.
<The_Boss> I am sorry then I cannot believe in what you say unless I can identify the causes and stages of your doomsday
<zoroastrianTextuary> i'll tell you what i can.
<The_Boss> You mentioned entities. Who and what are they?
<zoroastrianTextuary> i cannot speak of their names, as that would summon them.
<The_Boss> you are communicating via text not speech
<zoroastrianTextuary> this counts as speaking.
<zoroastrianTextuary> technically.
<zoroastrianTextuary> to them.
<The_Boss> I suppose
<The_Boss> What are the signs of what you talking about coming to pass and what actions would you recommend
<zoroastrianTextuary> once, i was correcting MS when he said Cthulhu, for surely he meant Flut--
<zoroastrianTextuary> i am not making that mistake again. the point is, it didn't end well.
<The_Boss> So you did summon one
<The_Boss> And what of the result
<zoroastrianTextuary> the signs? you'll know it when you see it. society will begin to degrade around you. mass bloodshed will commence, parents slaying and eating their children, and self-immolating after.
<The_Boss> This sounds like what I have seen in more poor regions of Alternia.
<The_Boss> This is impossible on a large scale, just as peace is
<zoroastrianTextuary> merely witnessing said extra-dimensional beings will drive even the most peaceful person to insanity.
<The_Boss> Then how are you not insane
<The_Boss> Your statements contradict
<zoroastrianTextuary> rituals have been put in place to protect my mental faculties.
<zoroastrianTextuary> i can only hope they have worked.
<zoroastrianTextuary> as for what actions i would recommend, clear out an open space within your dwelling. this will come in very important.
<The_Boss> Then share them to the masses
<zoroastrianTextuary> said rituals have been prepared over generations. we don't have generations.
<zoroastrianTextuary> we probably don't even have years.
<zoroastrianTextuary> or sweeps.
<The_Boss> So what is anyone to do in this
<The_Boss> Assuming you aren't joking around
<zoroastrianTextuary> you, and the other seven i have talked to, will play a very important role in this.
<The_Boss> How so.
<zoroastrianTextuary> you are the ones that shall escape the hell created by said beings, and rise towards the light of Skaia.
<The_Boss> I refuse to join if I can not save the remaining members of The Dogs of War.
<The_Boss> I will not leave them to a hell if I am to escape to some sort of paradise.
<zoroastrianTextuary> you can save them, but in the new realm, they might be inherently doomed to die.
<The_Boss> And you think that is the terms of my current form of employment
<The_Boss> (*is not. -_-)
<zoroastrianTextuary> ...well then.
<The_Boss> There are only two of them now. I am sure they will be fine
<zoroastrianTextuary> you can save them. make sure they are within your dwelling at the time of the armageddon event.
<The_Boss> If this is to come to pass at all.
<The_Boss> Understood. This will prove to be challenging but that is for me to deal with
<The_Boss> How have the others responded to this?
<zoroastrianTextuary> with a wide range of responses.
<The_Boss> I feel foolish myself to have chosen to believe you at all.
<zoroastrianTextuary> some do not understand the gravity of this situation, and seem quite...excited.
<The_Boss> Perhaps, this is something I want
<The_Boss> There is a part of me that would want to be left behind
<zoroastrianTextuary> some are scared. one in particular has lashed out at me numerous times.
<The_Boss> You can state names. I do not share this sort of information
<zoroastrianTextuary> i do not wish to share this information.
<zoroastrianTextuary> you may have seen them, anyway.
<The_Boss> I have not met any of the people in the chat
<The_Boss> Face to face
<zoroastrianTextuary> i meant you may have seen their reactions to my information.
<zoroastrianTextuary> in the chat.
<The_Boss> I suppose it doesnt matter
<zoroastrianTextuary> one person in particular told me in a private message that i should probably tone it down.
<zoroastrianTextuary> i promised him i would, but you seem ready to hear it.
<The_Boss> I just hope they will be ready in time
<The_Boss> If it is to happen
<The_Boss> I will be. But I have always been.
* missedSolstice (webchat@d207-81-32-32.bchsia.telus.net) has joined
<zoroastrianTextuary> i supposed there's not much left to tell you.
<zoroastrianTextuary> teamwork will be important.
<The_Boss> I can see to that
<zoroastrianTextuary> fighting won't be required, but will be helpful.
<The_Boss> Understood.
<zoroastrianTextuary> puzzle-solving will play a big part.
<The_Boss> Will you be present during this scenario?
<zoroastrianTextuary> i am not sure what will happen to me.
<zoroastrianTextuary> i shall attempt to save myself, but it is highly unlikely my attempts will work.
<The_Boss> So you plan to save the lives of 8 random strangers but not your own?
<zoroastrianTextuary> you're not as random as you think.
<The_Boss> I am flattered, but I think your knowledge of the situation is more valuable in this event than any of ours
<zoroastrianTextuary> your predecessors and the epic of their trials were recorded in the books i hold. your names were also recorded in these books.
<The_Boss> Curious.
<zoroastrianTextuary> well, that's all i have to say for now.
<zoroastrianTextuary> good luck with the trials ahead.
<The_Boss> And to you
<The_Boss> Zogg?
<zoroastrianTextuary> yes. not my true name, but it shall due.
<zoroastrianTextuary> do*
<The_Boss> Do not throw away your life. I feel we will still need you.
<zoroastrianTextuary> i'll try not to.
<zoroastrianTextuary> goodbye, Boss.
<The_Boss> Farewell.
