<AC_Newton> BTW, suggestion - you could start in the Demise where you left yesterday
<AC_Newton> AC and Kev are in their Sector at the moment ^_^
AC_Newton will crash into the Demise in a couple of minutes...
<Nita> (gee I thought Teora was a better autopilot ;))
<AC_Newton> (LOL)
<Marvin_Black> (So Marv stands at the bar if we start where we left ^_^)
<Nita> (/me waves to the Cthulhu on Marv's shoulder)
Red_Queen is sitting in a corner of the Demise, preparing a playlist for her next gig, while slowly sipping her Vulcan Blood.
Marvin_Black stands alone at the bar slowly drinking his Creeping Plague knowing he wont get another that fast.
Nita is quietly working on a program....
Kay is drinking her drink and keeping an eye out
Azzazel walks in, wearing the kind of outfit a jazz musician in the thirties would wear, and has a quiet word with the bartender.
<Marvin_Black> (<--- Puts Kay's eye back into the socket ;))
<Azzazel> (LoL)
Kay (hugggles Marv)
Azzazel spots Marvin, and concludes his business with the bartender, ordering a drink for himself and "that goth guy-- look, can't you see him?"
<Nita> (marv has very effective arcane)
<Azzazel> (do I need to roll to get the bartender to notice, then? ^_^)
Azzazel gives up, and gets himself a pint of stout, and a Creeping Plague for Marv.
<Azzazel> Geez. What a disturbing-looking drink.
Azzazel saunters towards Marv, sits down next to him, and slides the drink towards Marv.
Marvin_Black looks at the drink then at Azzazel
<Azzazel> Just drink.
<Azzazel> It's not poisoned.
<Azzazel> It isn't allowed in here, anyway.
<Marvin_Black> Oh.. THanks... I get the strange feeling the world will soon end... I'm getting too many free drinks these times...
<Azzazel> mmm.
Azzazel takes a drink from his stout.
Marvin_Black empties his first Plague and takes another look at the new one.
<Azzazel> I saw how hard it was for you to get a drink in here.
<Marvin_Black> Everyone just ignores me...
<Azzazel> So I thought, "hey, I needed my quota on self-delusion today".
Red_Queen sighs, and deletes a song about love off Silent Hill's soundtrack, wondering how that got in her playlist. Before noticing she has already added it three times.
<Nita> (yeah, must be the end times, something good is happening ofr marv ;))
<Azzazel> (Ascension will happen when Marv gets laid ^^)
<Marvin_Black> (Red: Hehe... *g*)
<Marvin_Black> (ummm.. Ascension is *that* easy? *g*)
<Azzazel> (LoL. It'll be for Marv, anyway. "Did the world just... Ascend for you too?")
Red_Queen suddenly notices there at least 10 songs out of 35 containing the word love in their titles, and decides to abandon the task and just try and enjoy her drink.
Marvin_Black takes a sip of the drink Azzazel brought him.
Azzazel takes another sip from his stout, and tries to think of what to play for next Wednesday's gig at Bogart's.
<Marvin_Black> Well... What brings you here?
Red_Queen glances at the people around her, and notices Azzazel sitting next to someone, obscuring him from her.
<Azzazel> Mmm? Well, ACey and Kevin invited me to view their sector. And I needed to talk to the bartender about something.
Red_Queen debates whether to get up and talk to him, remembering his... straight-forward attitude on... certain subjects.
<Azzazel> (how diplomatic ^^)
<Marvin_Black> Ah... You want to visit the big pink lie?
<Azzazel> The human vagina?
<Marvin_Black> Huh?
<Red_Queen> (rofl)
<Azzazel> You said the big pink lie. First thing that popped up in my head was the human vagina.
<Red_Queen> (excuse me while I choke on my drink)
<Marvin_Black> Whatever you say...
<Azzazel> Well, it looms large in the mind, and it /is/ pink.
<Azzazel> And as it being a lie...
Azzazel shrugs.
<Azzazel> Haven't seen one in a couple of months.
<Azzazel> Who knows. It may not exist.
<Marvin_Black> You only believe what you see, eh?
<Azzazel> Not true.
<Azzazel> Think the word you're looking for is 'experience'.
Red_Queen decides to be diplomatic. Besides, public relations with another musician can't be such a bad thing.
<Marvin_Black> And as soon as you forget the experience it diesn't exist anymore...
<Azzazel> Not to me. Maybe to you, perhaps.
Red_Queen gets up, inspects her red and black-trimmed overalls and goes towards Azz, drink in hand.
<Azzazel> It's a fair approximation. A good-enough model.
<Marvin_Black> It's naive...
<Red_Queen> now, just stay out of arms reach from him. easy.
<Azzazel> It works.
Azzazel turns his head lazily, and notices RQ.
<Azzazel> Ah. Madame. A pleasure to meet you again.
Red_Queen walks next to Azz, and smiles.
<Red_Queen> Hello Azzazel.
<Azzazel> Madame.
Azzazel bows a little, politely.
<Marvin_Black> Oh... Hello Red
Red_Queen takes a sip from her drink as she approaches and nearly chokes on it when she sees Marv.
<Azzazel> Mm. Are you all right, Madame?
<Red_Queen> Hello Marv.
<Red_Queen> Didn't notice you were here.
<Azzazel> He does that to a lot of people, poor thing.
<Marvin_Black> Red: I'm used to it
<Red_Queen> been alone long? I was back in the corner, doing some work..
<Marvin_Black> Just for a couple of hours I think...
Azzazel takes a drink from his pint glass, and keeps an eye on both RQ and Marv.
<Marvin_Black> I didn't look at the clock
Red_Queen suddenly seems a bit oblivious to Azzazel's presence.
<Red_Queen> damn.
<Marvin_Black> Azzazel: Just because you forget thinks and you didn't experience them they are no less true
<Red_Queen> Didn't notice you before.
<Azzazel> Marv: Mmm. You're talking to someone.
Red_Queen coughs and turns to Azzazel again, for politeness' sakes.
<Red_Queen> It's okay.
<Red_Queen> I'm the one who interrupted you.
<Marvin_Black> Red: As I said... I'm used to be ignored
<Azzazel> don't worry about it. Marv's trying to convince me that his model is far superior than what I've got.
Red_Queen bites her lip.
<Azzazel> I think he prefers talking to you.
<Azzazel> I'm less... accommodating.
<AC_Newton> (Read the session so far and then will finally appear)
<AC_Newton> Reads)
Red_Queen bites her lip even harder, blushing a bit at Azz's comment.
<Marvin_Black> Azzazel: No I don't. Why should I? It will fade away anyway. Just telling you yours is naive
Azzazel silently mouths to the RQ: Or infatuated.
<Azzazel> Marv: My concern is hardly over the naievity of my model. Merely whether it works or not.
Red_Queen sighs.
Azzazel smiles slightly at RQ.
Azzazel drains his stout, and stands up, walking towards the bar.
<Azzazel> Anyone want anything?
<Red_Queen> That's a good measure of success.
<Red_Queen> for a model, I mean.
Azzazel grins at RQ.
Red_Queen raises her drink, showing that it's still half-full and shaking her head.
<Red_Queen> thanks.
<Azzazel> Marv? Shall I keep ordering the Plague-rat, or whatever it is you're drinking?
<Marvin_Black> Red: It works to drive with stone wheels, too... But is it the best way?
<Marvin_Black> Azzazel: No thanks. I still have mine
Azzazel goes, "mmm" and orders another stout. Mmm. Liquid food.
Marvin_Black takes another sip
Azzazel gets the pint of stout from the bartender, and settles down to chat with him for a bit.
<Red_Queen> I don't think Azzazel is the one using stone or heavier materials for his wheels Marv.
<Marvin_Black> Red: Ignoring or denying something doesn't make it go away or less real.
<Marvin_Black> Getting used to it is the way to not forget and srememberign things
<AC_Newton> (Arrgll! phone!!)
Azzazel laughs at the bartender's anecdote, and starts walking back towards RQ and Marv.
Azzazel sits next to RQ, leaving space for the two 'lovebirds'.
<Red_Queen> Accepting what is happening at a given moment and dealing with it, instead of bothering with future trouble without dealing with current issues still doesn't sound like a valid choice Marv.
<Red_Queen> (gaaah. sorry. screw that line)
<Red_Queen> Accepting what is happening at a given moment and dealing with it, instead of bothering with future trouble without dealing with current issues still sound like a more valid choice Marv.
Azzazel pulls out a notebook and pen, and begins scribbling on the notebook.
<Marvin_Black> If you forget the past you are doomed to repeat its mistakes
<Azzazel> (absently) so don't forget the past.
<Red_Queen> I never said anything about forgetting.
<Red_Queen> but is one thing to forget the past, and another to live in it.
<Azzazel> (absently) or worry about the future.
<Marvin_Black> I live right here and now. Knowing whathappened and not denying what will happen for sure.
<Azzazel> (absently, to Marv) Mm-hmm. You live in the here and now..
Azzazel draws a little caricature.
<Red_Queen> You don't live in the here and now Marv. You live in a constant nightmare that your future will be the same as your past.
<Red_Queen> And you don't even want to wake up from this nightmare.
Azzazel smiles, and lets RQ have a go at Marv.
Red_Queen blushes for being so blunt, then decides to blame the drink. before considering that it ain't real.
Azzazel continues scribbling.
<Marvin_Black> I look at what the world is really is, not denying or wearing some pink glasses in fear in not being able to cope with it.
Azzazel begins humming an old tune.
<Azzazel> "Once I built a railroad/Made it run..."
<Azzazel> "Made it race/Against time..."
<Azzazel> "Once I built a railroad/Now it's done..."
<Azzazel> "Buddy, can you spare a dime?"
<Red_Queen> "once I built a tower/ to the sun..
Azzazel grins
<Azzazel> "Brick and rivet/and lime..."
<Azzazel> It's a sad song.
<Red_Queen> I know.
Red_Queen sighs and turns to Marv again.
Marvin_Black sips his drink silently
<Azzazel> I prefer the old Al Jolson original, but George Micheal did a good job at singing it.
<Azzazel> These kind of songs...
AC_Newton walks into the Spy's DEmise, smiling brightly and waving at Maxine.
Nita looks up and see's AC
<Marvin_Black> Red: Everyone will die one day. True?
AC_Newton looks around to see where Nita is because she promised her to show her her Sector
Nita waves to Acy
<Red_Queen> I'm not the one wearing pink shades. You are the one wearing black safety goggles..
AC_Newton sees Nita and waves back
<Azzazel> It's probably why he keeps falling down the stairs.
AC_Newton walks over to her
<AC_Newton> Hello Nita!
<AC_Newton> Sorry for the delay...
Nita hugs Ac hello
<AC_Newton> But I had a visitor...
AC_Newton looks a bit puzzled
<Marvin_Black> Red: Once again... Everyone will die, true?
Nita nods understandingly
AC_Newton smiles at Nita
Kay waves to Capt Newton
<AC_Newton> Nita: I didn't think anyone would come into my sector, after all, it is lacking the final touches yet...
<Red_Queen> Yes.
<AC_Newton> Oh, hello Kay!
<Marvin_Black> Red: The world will come to an end, true?
<Azzazel> Mmm. Factually true.
AC_Newton smiles brightly at her, too
<Red_Queen> But until then, let them enjoy their short lifespan.
<Red_Queen> Not sure about that.
<Nita> So how is construction going?
<Red_Queen> I can't tell, you can't either.
<AC_Newton> Nita, Have you see Azzazel? I told him he could visit my sector too, if he liked
<Azzazel> Mmm? In theory, yes. Entropy always wins.
<Marvin_Black> Red: The sund will explode one day... So it will take the world with it... True?
Nita points to RQ Marv and Az
<AC_Newton> Nita: Oh, it is going pretty well... There are still parts lacking, of course...
<AC_Newton> Kev is still there, he wanted to make sure that it is done with some orderly progging, as he said
<Nita> from the sound of it they are trying to convince Marv -- well you know
<Azzazel> But I'm beginning to realize something about Entropy.
<AC_Newton> Oh, yeah...
<AC_Newton> Marv is always to depressing it is really sad
<Red_Queen> Until then, Humanity may have as well found many ways to escape from the blast. Space travel has advanced amazingly in the last 100 years.
<Azzazel> Entropy and death make space.
<AC_Newton> Maybe we should convince him to visit my sector, this might cheer him up
<Red_Queen> who knows what we will be capable of in a million.
<Marvin_Black> And then the next world will be blasted away, and then the next... You can run, but you can't hide.
<Azzazel> five billion, actually.
Nita gets up, so as to walk with AC to Marv and co
<Marvin_Black> Azzazel: You are right... Entropy always wins... The end is inevitable
Kay gets up too
<AC_Newton> Hm. I think we might ask them altogether then.
<Red_Queen> No.
Michaelangelo walks in
<Marvin_Black> If mankind hasn't extinct itself until then... Which is more propable
AC_Newton smiles at them both.
<Azzazel> Entropy also makes space, Marv.
<AC_Newton> Hello Marv! Hello Red! Hello Azzazel!
<Marvin_Black> Hey AC
<Azzazel> Gaaaaah!
Azzazel jumps out of his chair.
AC_Newton joins the three at the bar
<Nita> Hello all!
Red_Queen turns to see AC
<Red_Queen> hello!
<Azzazel> ACey, you scared me!
Red_Queen smiles to AC
AC_Newton waves cheerfully at them
Azzazel smiles at AC.
<Red_Queen> how are you?
<Michaelangelo> (where are you people now?)
<AC_Newton> Oh, I'm fine. I'm working on my sector...
Kay still wonders about Marv and his "cloud of gloom"
<AC_Newton> I wanted to be her earlier, but I got a strange visitor...
<AC_Newton> (Mike: Bar)
Michaelangelo notices AC, takes out a small block, and quickly sketches something on it.
Marvin_Black pads Cthuluh on his shoulder
Azzazel is beginning to think that Marv's cloud of gloom is a little bit like Jupiter's Red Spot.
Michaelangelo walks over to AC
<Red_Queen> (which is?)
<Michaelangelo> Hello Space Girl.
<AC_Newton> Well, Azzazel, didn't you want to see my sector-in-progress, too?
<AC_Newton> Oh, hello Michaelangelo
Red_Queen introduces herself to Nita
<Azzazel> Ooo. Fair enough. What's the dress code? Spandex?
AC_Newton smiles brightly at him
Nita bows
Michaelangelo smiles and presents AC with a beautifull red rose.
<Red_Queen> Red Queen, Virtual Adept. DJ-VJ.
Azzazel notices Mike, and nods amicably towards him.
<AC_Newton> Azzazel: Hm... If haven't implemented a dress code yet. But cool uniforms are always a plus
<Nita> Nita is wearing a jumpsuit modeled after ACy's.
<Nita> On her wrist is a small device, with a small display
<Nita> screen. In her ear there is a small device, appearently
<Nita> to carry audio.
AC_Newton takes the rose and blushes
<Michaelangelo> (Azzazel you look like?)
<AC_Newton> Thank you, Michaelangelo
<Red_Queen> Hello Michaelangelo..
<Azzazel> (dressed like a thirties musician. think casablanca)
<Michaelangelo> Hello Red Queen
Marvin_Black takes another sip, being ignored once more
Michaelangelo smiles and presents her with a red rose too
<Red_Queen> thanks!
<AC_Newton> Marv, wanna look at my sector, too? It is already looking cool!
Michaelangelo smiles to Nita and Kay and presents both ladies with another red rose..
Red_Queen smiles.
Nita smiles
<Azzazel> Hmm. A ladies man.
<Marvin_Black> AC: Pink glasses included, or build in?
<Kay> thank you
Red_Queen turns to Marv.
<Azzazel> (slap 'im! slap 'im!)
<Red_Queen> not nice.
<Michaelangelo> You're welcome
AC_Newton looks at Marv a bit puzzled. No, you don't need to put on Ethergoggles, if you fear that
<Marvin_Black> Red: It's just the truth...
<Michaelangelo> (btw... the roses smell pretty too)
AC_Newton has her nose in the rose
<AC_Newton> (:-)
Red_Queen puts the rose next to her lips, noticing the scent.
<Nita> AC - you Marv, he's happy unless he's not happy
<Marvin_Black> AC: What should I do there?
<Nita> err not happy, not happy
<Red_Queen> nice coding Michaelangelo.
<Michaelangelo> My thanks.
<AC_Newton> Marv: Well, look around, feel the optimism of a shiny future... Get a bit less depressed yourself?
<Red_Queen> See another viewpoint towards life?
<Azzazel> Ascend?
<Red_Queen> (:) )
<Azzazel> Joke.
<Marvin_Black> To look at a lie, to see what the world is *not* like? I've seen it in those strange movies Han gave me
<AC_Newton> Azzazel: Well, I think Ascension is still far away for me if I ever reach that...
<AC_Newton> But one can always strive!
Red_Queen looks a bit puzzled, not having participated in the former conversation ;)
<Azzazel> Marvin: Man, you sure you don't have piles or something, Marv?
<AC_Newton> Marv: Strange movies?
<Marvin_Black> AC: He geve me incredible fake movies... Nothing to do with the truth
Red_Queen suddenly blushes very red.
<Marvin_Black> Or the real world
Azzazel manipulates an invisible control panel, changing the characteristics of his outfit.
Azzazel wonders if he wants to keep his current color scheme (white-white-black)
<AC_Newton> Marv: Scien fiction?
Red_Queen whispers Love stories
<AC_Newton> Although science fiction is not so far from the truth after all...
<Nita> *sigh*
AC_Newton looks at Red. Oh!
AC_Newton smiles
Red_Queen blushes even more
<AC_Newton> Why aren't they far from truth?
<Michaelangelo> Oh.. those movies :)
Azzazel 's appearance shimmers, and he is now dressed in a white admiral's uniform, with black boots.
AC_Newton thinks romantic love movies of course ^_^
Azzazel 's hair shortens into a severe haircut.
AC_Newton looks at Azzazel and wows!
<Marvin_Black> They have nothing to do whith what is real. Those things don't exist
<Red_Queen> ( of course, these were included. and the other ones too. *sigh* ;) )
<Nita> yes, but trying to show that to Marv, is kind of like trying to describe "red" to a blind person
<Azzazel> Mmm. You think I overdid it? This looks a little like an Imperial Grand Admiral's outfit.
<AC_Newton> Marv: You sure? I think I found my one true love... It does exist
Red_Queen turns to Nita upon hearing the word "Red".
<Michaelangelo> I find the lack of faith in you disturbing
Michaelangelo grins
Azzazel smirks at Nita's remark.
<Red_Queen> Nita, you wouldn't know how fitting what you just said is.
<AC_Newton> Azzazel: THis looks very stylish
Red_Queen sighs.
<Marvin_Black> AC: Well see how long and what suffering will follow
<Azzazel> ACey -- you haven't introduced me to your friends. I know Marvin and Madame Red Queen. But who are the others?
<AC_Newton> Marv: Why has there always to be suffering?
<AC_Newton> Oh, I haven't?
AC_Newton looks embarassed
<Azzazel> Not this charming young man here.
Azzazel bows politely towards Mike.
<Marvin_Black> Because that's the way the world goes... Life is a bitch...
<AC_Newton> Nita, Kay - this is Azzazel, and Orphan
<Azzazel> Or the delightful young lady...
<AC_Newton> Azzazel - these are Nita and Kay, Virtual Adepts
Nita nods
Azzazel bows towards Nita and Kay.
Kay bows
<Azzazel> Pleasure to meet you.
<AC_Newton> And that is MIchaelangelo, also a Virtual Adept and great artist!
<AC_Newton> Michaelangelo - Azzazel...
Michaelangelo extends his hand to Azzazel
<Azzazel> Ah! An artist. What do you do, Michaelangelo?
Marvin_Black sighs
Azzazel accepts Michaelangelo's hand, and shakes it.
Marvin_Black wonders why they always try to confuse him
Michaelangelo returns a firm handshake
<AC_Newton> Marv: I will prove to you that there can be true love!
<Michaelangelo> I make the world a prettier pace
<Marvin_Black> AC: It dies like everything else
<Michaelangelo> place
<AC_Newton> Marv: Not necessarily...
<Marvin_Black> And leaves a black void behind
Red_Queen mumbles something about marv, love and prettier places.
<Azzazel> Mike: You have an appreciation to beauty, I see.
AC_Newton still sniffs at the rose which is prettier and more frangrant than real ones, it seems
<Azzazel> Mike: But nothing specific? What do you consider your best works so far?
<Michaelangelo> Ever been to Los Angeles?
<Azzazel> Never had the fortune to, no.
Marvin_Black mumbles
<Michaelangelo> My best work ever is on a wall in downtown Los Angeles
<Marvin_Black> Everything dies, nothing lasts forever but Death
<Azzazel> ahh. Excellent.
<Red_Queen> death is only a moment.
<AC_Newton> Marv: But before death we can make a difference
Azzazel inwardly smiles at Marvin's inadvertent paradox.
<Red_Queen> AC is right.
<Michaelangelo> But thats not true, Marvin. You continue to live in the memory of people, or by the works you leave behind.
<Azzazel> Such careless words, Marvin.
<Marvin_Black> AC: A difference that will be lost, for it will not last
<Red_Queen> (attack!!!)
<Michaelangelo> And in the end, even Death will remember all of it. So living is worth it.
<Azzazel> Marvin: Mmm. Besides, you said that all things must come to an end, yes?
<Marvin_Black> Mike: Those people will die, information is forgotten, memories fade and are falsified...
<AC_Newton> Marv: It can last for quite a while and tough others in the mean time
<Marvin_Black> AC: And in the end it is gone
<Red_Queen> It doesn't have to last for eternity.
<Marvin_Black> Lost effort in any way
<AC_Newton> Marv: Well, I can pass on my knowledge and everything to my children, and they will pass it on etc
<Red_Queen> children?
<AC_Newton> There will be always someone new to carry the torch
<Marvin_Black> AC: And every child will change it until nothing is left of you
Azzazel waves his hands impatiently at ACey and company.
<Azzazel> People! People.
Red_Queen turns to AC, a questioning look on her eyes.
<AC_Newton> Red: Well, the following generation
<Azzazel> People. Marvin doesn't want to hear all of this.
AC_Newton blushes.
<Michaelangelo> Oh, about the roses... you should make sure they get enough water.. or else they die too quickly.
<AC_Newton> Or what did you think?
<Azzazel> The poor man is all alone, and we're all harrasing him for speaking his mind.
AC_Newton smiles at Mike.
Red_Queen blushes, then chuckles.
<Red_Queen> Nothing, sorry.
<AC_Newton> I'll do for sure! This is so beautiful!
Red_Queen looks back at her rose.
<Red_Queen> water?
<Michaelangelo> (Consider an artist, coding a requirement for water in his roses... if that's not done they die even quicker)
<Red_Queen> wow.
<Red_Queen> you did put quite some effort in making these real eh?
<Azzazel> Mike: Can't you create a rose that doesn't need water?
Marvin_Black mumbles something of not being able to do anything
<Michaelangelo> Azzazel: Of course I can. But that would reduce the value of these roses very much.
Red_Queen rolled 9d10 dice and got: 8, 1, 10, 5, 9, 1, 8, 3, 10
<Michaelangelo> They would just be a bit of data, destined to hang around for all eternity.
<Azzazel> Mike: Truly? So their price increases because of their mortality?
Red_Queen does a few mistakes, but finally manages to hack the water requirement code in her rose.
Red_Queen smiles.
<Marvin_Black> Mike: Until the information fails, data lines corrode or the world comes to an end
<Michaelangelo> (It will still peris.. it also needs light & food)
AC_Newton presses some sensor fields on her belt, and a small computer materializes in her hands.
AC_Newton rolled 8d10 dice and got: 9, 8, 2, 8, 4, 1, 6, 9
<Michaelangelo> It's not about price, it's about value... anything valuable can't be priced.
AC_Newton hacks somethink in it, and aroundthe stem of the rose a vial with water appears
Azzazel inspects ACey's addition to it.
<AC_Newton> So. THis should take care of it.
Red_Queen turns to AC, then giggles.
<Michaelangelo> For a while.
AC_Newton shows azzazel
<Nita> hmm
<AC_Newton> Well, as long as the rose lasts, I hope
<Azzazel> AC: You might want to streamline it a little, ACey.
Nita rolled 9d10 dice and got: 10, 6, 4, 10, 7, 4, 1, 8, 1
<Michaelangelo> Well, I am still working on making them last forever.
<Michaelangelo> By giving them true live.
Marvin_Black shrugs being ignored again
<Michaelangelo> (life even)
<AC_Newton> (I don't know if you can imagine how this looks like - it is a really small tube-like vial, about 5ch long and not much thicker than the stem)
<Marvin_Black> Mike: Nothing lasts forever
Red_Queen rolled 9d10 dice and got: 2, 1, 8, 10, 2, 2, 5, 3, 9
Michaelangelo notices Mr. Black shrugging
Michaelangelo takes out his sketching block and starts drawing again.
<AC_Newton> Azzazel: I'm quite satisfied with this
Red_Queen makes the rose turn black and gives it to Marv.
<Nita> hmms -- you could have them draw ambient quint from the environment, so as to be self renewing
<Azzazel> ACey: Mmm. That's okay, then.
Marvin_Black takes the rose and looks at it... quite puzzled
<AC_Newton> (It wasn't a huge jar or so *g*)
Red_Queen just smiles.
Azzazel nudges RQ a little and catches her eye.
Azzazel winks at her.
<Marvin_Black> Ummmm... Thanks...
Nita thinks
<Red_Queen> don't mention it.
Red_Queen is glad he did.
<AC_Newton> So, wanna see my sector now?
Nita rolled 9d10 dice and got: 6, 3, 6, 7, 7, 8, 4, 9, 2
AC_Newton smiles at the crowd
Red_Queen thinks he's okay, he just needs some, no, lots of work.
Michaelangelo is done coding.. and a rose in a slightly broken vase appears. The rose itself has long died, but it's still nice and red and perfectly dried on it's stem.
<Marvin_Black> still don't know why I should go there
<Michaelangelo> Marvin... a present.. to show you that not all death and decay is ugly.
<Azzazel> Because I'm not buying you any more drinks, Marvin
:)Red_Queen smiles brightly at Mike
Marvin_Black looks at vase and the rose
<Marvin_Black> *Now* I'm even more sure the world will die soon
Red_Queen sighs at Marv's Comment.
<Nita> So AC -- are we gonna go see your umm place?
ZenCadet is not even going to pretend to try to follow what is happening. It's called Method Acting... ;)
<AC_Newton> Sure! I was just admiring this rose...
Red_Queen turns to AC
<Michaelangelo> Just take good care of the rose Marvin...
<AC_Newton> I wonder where Hannibal is. I thought he wanted to take a look, too
<Michaelangelo> to remember, that in death and decay there is also beauty.
<Nita> hey Han
Hannibal_Golux enters the Demise.
<Red_Queen> (heheheh time 4 here?)
<Hannibal_Golux> (Nita: How prescient of you... :) )
AC_Newton looks around
<Nita> (Gee I must be picking up some Time understanding? ;))
<Azzazel> (:))
<AC_Newton> Where?
<Hannibal_Golux> Hello, Nita.
Marvin_Black progs a small metal table with a pentagram on it. It has wires and sigils on it.
AC_Newton sees him as he is not very inconspicuous
Red_Queen turns to Han and slightly waves.
Hannibal_Golux nods to all around the table.
<AC_Newton> Hello Hanni!
AC_Newton beams at him
Azzazel nods at Hannibal politely.
<AC_Newton> (Kev isn't here, BTW)
Marvin_Black pushes some buttons and looks at it
<Red_Queen> Hi Hannibal.
Hannibal_Golux seats himself.
Marvin_Black let's the table disappear again
AC_Newton looks a bit puzzeled
Hannibal_Golux looks at Marvis table.
<Hannibal_Golux> Marv's
<AC_Newton> Is here anybody who needs to be introduced?
<Michaelangelo> Hello Hannibal
<Marvin_Black> I think I should stay here
<Michaelangelo> But Azzazel what do you do?
<Hannibal_Golux> Hello, Michaelangelo.
<Azzazel> Mmm. I met him yesterday.
Marvin_Black thinks he will be dragged along anyway
<Azzazel> Mike: Me? I'm finishing up my final year. But right now, I'm 'recuperating'.
<AC_Newton> Ah, great. I didn't want to look impolite...
<Hannibal_Golux> Yes, I know Azzazel. Not personally but, I know him.
<Azzazel> Mmm. It is a pleasure in seeing you again, Hannibal.
Red_Queen whispers to marv
<Hannibal_Golux> Thank you.
<Red_Queen> Marv, would you like to take me along to AC's sector?
<AC_Newton> So... Did you like to visit my sector then?
<Hannibal_Golux> Newton's Sector?
<Nita> yes, please
Marvin_Black looks at Red puzzled one more time.
AC_Newton smiles brightly
<AC_Newton> The same!
AC_Newton put on a slight frown.
<Marvin_Black> Red: Erm... Aren't you able to walk on your own??
<Hannibal_Golux> You built your sector then?
<Azzazel> Not just *your* sector, ACey.
<AC_Newton> I got a strange visitor there today, though
<Nita> oh?
Azzazel wants to kick Marvin under the table.
<AC_Newton> I thought no one new that my sector is already accessible...
Red_Queen blushes and is about to say something bad.
Red_Queen just lets a sigh.
<Red_Queen> Perfectly capable of walking.
<AC_Newton> Hanni: Well, parts of it... Kev is there and doing some of the frameworks still
<Red_Queen> (whispered) someone else won't be in a while.
<AC_Newton> He said he wanted that programmed in a somewhat more orderly fashion
<Marvin_Black> (To expect a "usual" reaction from someone not knowing anything about the subject and the usual behaviour related is strange ;) )
Azzazel kicks Marvin under the table, and glares at him.
<Marvin_Black> Red: Umm.. Why are you asking then?
<Marvin_Black> OUCH!
<Red_Queen> (lololol)
Azzazel does the eye thing at Red Queen and Marvin.
AC_Newton looks alarmed at Marv
<AC_Newton> What is up?
<Azzazel> Marvin... it would be POLITE to take Madame Red Queen to AC's Sector.
<Azzazel> Don't you AGREE?
<Hannibal_Golux> I see. The beauty about my sector is that using the AI algorithm I coded, it builds itself.
<AC_Newton> (LOL)
<Azzazel> (through gritted teeth)
<Marvin_Black> Poor me... Always getting kicked, dragged around and more... But it's ok... just me... Just poor Marv. You can do that to him.. All right...
Red_Queen is keeping herself from chuckling.
AC_Newton blushes a little
Red_Queen gets serious at Marv's comment.
<Azzazel> She might get so LONELY by herself. Why not ACCOMPANY HER, MARVIN?
<AC_Newton> Hanni, I think I'm not *that* good. Fortunately I have Kev who helps me there
<Red_Queen> You don't HAVE to take me anywhere, Marvin Black.
Marvin_Black blinks at Azzazel and his expression surely shows he doesn't know what Az is talking about
<Azzazel> She would not MIND your friggin' COMPANY, won't SHE?
<Red_Queen> Azzazel.
Azzazel pouts.
<Hannibal_Golux> Marvin, that is why we do it, because we know you enjoy it so much. I mean, clearly you enjoy it otherwise you would stand up for yourself and say otherwise.
AC_Newton looks at Red, Marv and Azzazel in puzzlement
Red_Queen whispers something like "it's okay" to Azz.
<AC_Newton> Marv you got a date and didn't get it that you got one?
<Marvin_Black> Han: I'm used to it already...
<Marvin_Black> Ac: What are you talking about?
Azzazel does this expression bordering on confusion, befuddlement and somewhat incoherent mild annoyance.
<AC_Newton> Marv: Well, Red obviously wants you to take her out for a date
<AC_Newton> Isn't that obvious?
Azzazel mouths back to Red Queen: "Okay. Okay. Rassum frassum."
Red_Queen blushes, feeling just like Azz at the moment.
<Marvin_Black> Ummm... Every day has a date.. You don't have to go and get it
<Azzazel> Why, yes. A DATE. A meeting. Some DINNER.
<Hannibal_Golux> 2 = 0
<Azzazel> with SOMEONE ELSE.
Nita stares frustredly at Marv
Azzazel stares into space, rather annoyedly.
AC_Newton blinks at Marv's ignorance in that respect
Michaelangelo grins
Azzazel says this, as if to thin air:
Red_Queen is equal parts fascinated and embarassed.
Michaelangelo mutters to himself "And I thought I was a bit green."
<Hannibal_Golux> Marvin, can you not feel the weight of the consensual reality of all these people around the table? Sooner or later, sooner or later...
<Azzazel> You know, like Marvin, and Red Queen, spend some time together. You know, like, hypothetically. Maybe RQ would say YES?
<AC_Newton> (BRB - BathRoomBreak)
<Azzazel> Marvin. Red Queen. Spend. Time. TOGETHER!
Azzazel fumes.
<Hannibal_Golux> Everybody! Clap if you believe in Marvin!
Red_Queen goes to grab another drink, and asks for something with a mind effect to replicate a *real* drink.
<Hannibal_Golux> Come on, children, clap harder so that he can hear you!
Azzazel is tempted to box Marvin in the ears.
<Marvin_Black> We spend time together right now, just like you and Han and everyody else here. Where's the big deal?
Kay clpas for Marvin
<Azzazel> ("hah! See! I BELIEVE IN YOU!")
Red_Queen downs the virtual Tequila shot with one go, full with virtual salt and lemon.
<Azzazel> ALONE.
<Michaelangelo> Captain Newton, I would love to see the sights of your sector..
<Azzazel> IN PRIVATE.
Marvin_Black mutters I hope you all have fun making it of me
Azzazel wonders if a man could not miss the point.
<Marvin_Black> Az: Could you make up your mind? Spend time with someone or alone?
Red_Queen thinks that she could as well log off for good and become an alcoolic after this.
<Azzazel> Az: Why don't the both of you go and see AC's sector? Together. Without us.
<Azzazel> We'll be with AC.
<Azzazel> On tour.
Red_Queen downs another shot of V-Tequilla, noticing the mind effect working.
Michaelangelo looks over to Red Queen and seems to think for a while.
<Azzazel> So that both of you can...
<Azzazel> I don't know.
Michaelangelo looks at Marvin and continues to think
<Azzazel> talk. bond.
Azzazel is tempted to say "have sex", but stops himself.
Red_Queen is given another shot from the bartender.
Michaelangelo mutters absentminded: "Immitate rabbits..."
Red_Queen looks at it for a moment.
Azzazel glares at Michaelangelo: "If you make me laugh--"
Marvin_Black downs his Creeping Plague
<Marvin_Black> You guys are weird
<AC_Newton> (Re)
<Azzazel> Come ON, Marvin.
<Hannibal_Golux> At least we're wired.
<Nita> ahh - right
Hannibal_Golux winks at Marv
<Azzazel> She's looking absolutely miserable now.
<Michaelangelo> I wonder....
AC_Newton looks almost angrily at Marvin
Hannibal_Golux is tempted to spike Marvin's drink with Viagra.
<AC_Newton> Marvin, how can you hurt that sweet girl like that?
Kay goes over to RQ to try to help her
<Michaelangelo> (Are there any sectors where you can enter, but can't leave without "permission"?)
<Azzazel> (we could probably program something like that)
<Hannibal_Golux> (Prison Sector!)
<Marvin_Black> What the frigging burning Hell on Earth are you talking about?
<AC_Newton> (Mike: I'm sure you can set such up)
<Red_Queen> (lololol)
<Azzazel> (the Parent Trap Sector!)
<Hannibal_Golux> (Gah!)
<Azzazel> Marvin.
<Azzazel> The Red Queen likes you.
<Red_Queen> (and I was afraid *I* was the one pushing things for *poor* Marv)
<AC_Newton> Marvin, she wants you to spend some time with you. How hard is that to understand?
<Azzazel> What she said.
<Marvin_Black> Why should she want to do that?
Michaelangelo writes down a quick note for all but Marvin: "How about putting Red Queen and Marv in some place where they can be undisturbed... 'till they "
Red_Queen drinks the third one, sighs, then gets up from her seat at the bar.
<Michaelangelo> make up?"
<Azzazel> Because she wants to.
<AC_Newton> Marv: Meet her and find out
<Marvin_Black> Why?
<Azzazel> Beats me. Ask her.
Red_Queen notices Kay and smiles.
Marvin_Black thinks about no one wanting to have him around
Kay offers a hug
<Red_Queen> Kay: want a drink?
Kay (quietly) me thinks Marv is being a jerk
<Kay> sure
<Michaelangelo> Mr. Black you are by far the greatest idiot I have seen in my years in the Digital Web.
Red_Queen dismisses the hug with an "it's okay" look
<Azzazel> Language, Mike.
Red_Queen orders another mind-effect tequilla shot for her.
<Michaelangelo> Actually.. I think I kept down the contents of my language to something that is still acceptable.
<Red_Queen> What would you like?
Hannibal_Golux sighs and leans back, pointedly crossing his feet on the table with his hands behind his head.
Azzazel whispers to AC:
Red_Queen gets Kay a Vulcan Blood.
<Azzazel> Is there any way we can press gang the both of them so that the both of them can talk or something?
<Marvin_Black> Mike: What's the point in doing so? I already wondered why she showed up in my sector
<Red_Queen> Kay: try this, you might like it.
Kay looks at it
<Azzazel> ASK. HER.
<Michaelangelo> Isn't that obvious?
<AC_Newton> Well, we can ...lose them in an unfinishes part of my sector
Kay tries it
<Michaelangelo> She. Likes. You. Very. Much.
<AC_Newton> (whispered)
Azzazel nods at ACey.
<Azzazel> (whispered): "Make it so"
<Marvin_Black> I don't think so...
AC_Newton nods
<Azzazel> GUYS!
<Michaelangelo> And why don't you think so?
<Michaelangelo> Because you think you are beneath her notice?
Azzazel slams the pint glass on the bar and calls the bartender.
<AC_Newton> [Why am i so reminded of a certain other dolt who just refuses to get to a dinner ^_^ ]
Kay sips
<Red_Queen> (lol AC)
<Azzazel> [poor baby. ::hugs::]
<Red_Queen> (*pats shoulder*)
<AC_Newton> (*sighs*)
<Hannibal_Golux> (*huhgs AC*)
<Marvin_Black> Mike: No one does...
<Hannibal_Golux> (And extra 'h' there for added effect)
<Marvin_Black> Mike: (rather serious) Those who did are *dead*
<Michaelangelo> Marv: Well I notice you. As does everyone else here at this table.
<Marvin_Black> Wait a few minutes... The will ignore me just like they usually do... Never listening, never seeing.
<Hannibal_Golux> Sorry? Who were we talking about?
<Azzazel> Marvin.
AC_Newton sighs.
<AC_Newton> (IC!°)
<Red_Queen> Kay: You know, a tad ago, I could just die for him. But right now, I think it'd just might make him happier for being right.
<Michaelangelo> That's because they do not believe in the crap that comes from your mouth.. but as long as you believe it... who cares what others think.. right??
Azzazel tugs Kay's sleeve.
Red_Queen blushes for saying that and decide's it's no more mind-effect spiked drinks for her.
<Kay> i think marv is a very confused / sheltered person
<Red_Queen> confused?
<Red_Queen> heh.
Azzazel tries to get Kay's attention, whispering:
<Red_Queen> Understatemenet of the centure, that one.
Kay nods
<Red_Queen> (century even)
<Azzazel> 'scuse me, Kay. Sorry for interrupting you. Could you help me a bit. It's about Marvin and Kay.
<Azzazel> (sorry, marvin and RQ)
<AC_Newton> (Marv and Kay would worry me ^_^)
<Azzazel> (YAOI!)
Kay wispers how can I help?
Azzazel whispers:
<Azzazel> Just make sure RQ follows you when I tell you to.
Azzazel taps Hanni's shoulder, and whispers:
<Hannibal_Golux> Marv: I bet you wish everyone *was* ignoring you now, huh?
Hannibal_Golux chuckles.
<Azzazel> Hanni, sorry, mate. Could you be a help?
<Marvin_Black> Han: I live alone... It's quite ok
Hannibal_Golux whispers back: "This is too much fun to watch. I might just go get some popcorn, but I'm afraid I'd miss something."
AC_Newton looks sadly at Red.
Kay nods at Ac in agreement
Azzazel whispers: "Fine, but I'm getting tired of this crap. I actually want to SEE AC's place, not sit here and convince Marvin."
<Hannibal_Golux> (I think people make the mistake of thinking that Han actually cares about any of this ;) )
<AC_Newton> This is so tragic! Maybe I can ask Kevin to do something about Marv's depression and stuff...
<Michaelangelo> Ah what the hell..
Azzazel shrugs, and whispers to AC:
Michaelangelo walks over to Red Queen
<Marvin_Black> I am *not* depressed, just realistic
<Hannibal_Golux> What's the Agent gonna do? Brainwash him into loving Red?
<Red_Queen> (lol)
<Hannibal_Golux> I'm sorry, "social condition"
<Michaelangelo> Red Queen? Will you do me the honor of accompanying me on the visit to Captain Newton's Sector?
<Azzazel> Hanni: No. Just let the both of them talk. Notice how the both of them are ignoring each other?
Red_Queen smiles to Mike.
<AC_Newton> (looks at Hanni) Dunno... But I thought maybe he could give it a try?
Kay thinks that wont work too well, (remember Moira's attempts)
<AC_Newton> (Hehe)
<Hannibal_Golux> You mean you are now *supporting* this Unionist to work his wicked wiles? How far has the Newton has fallen?
<Azzazel> (damnit. lost the thread)
<Hannibal_Golux> (gah... scrap second 'has')
Marvin_Black sighs
AC_Newton blushes. But we need to help him *somehow*
AC_Newton points at Marv
<Hannibal_Golux> Why?
<Azzazel> Hanni: Because I'd like to pop his little bubble, for once.
<AC_Newton> Well, he is depressing the hell out of me, too!
Michaelangelo smiles back to Red Queen
Hannibal_Golux shrugs
<Red_Queen> I.... Michaelangelo.. I. *sigh* .. I don't want to fool you or anything, okay?
<Azzazel> (how hard would it be to drag Marvin by the scruff of his neck, Stayka?)
<Michaelangelo> (Whisper) I don't expect anything, Red Queen. Only some reaction from that fool in black over there. *grin*
<Hannibal_Golux> So? I believe he has the right to his own little bubble. I mean, if he doesn't want love or affection in his life, who are we to tell him otherwise? To forcibly insist thaht he does so, to the degree that you would consider "brainwashing" him positively stinks of black-hats.
<Azzazel> ('cause I've run out of options)
Red_Queen is more than surprised by this.
<Azzazel> Um... Hmm.
<Red_Queen> I.. okay.
<AC_Newton> (Azz: Um, try it. But beware the horrible Entropy at work)
<Azzazel> Hanni: There's a slight difference.
<Hannibal_Golux> Is therE?
<Red_Queen> Thanks.
<Azzazel> Hanni: yeah. we won't be there
Marvin_Black looks around
Michaelangelo smiles
Red_Queen is still very surprised.
<Azzazel> Hanni: it's a problem between RQ and Marv, really.
<Marvin_Black> Umm... You are talking about *me*. I'm sitting right here...
Kay thinks.... hmmm -- how about we ask Marv to come to AC's sector as part of the project, (looking at the works of the other "artists" including Marv
<Hannibal_Golux> Exactly. Who are we to dictate a situation to him.
Azzazel sighs.
<AC_Newton> But he looks so bleak and dreary...
<Hannibal_Golux> Besides... can't you see you'd be making him uncomfortable if he even understood what you were talking about?
<Michaelangelo> The problem is already solved.. if Marvin doesn't want to come to visit Captain Newton's sector, then there is nobody forcing him. I'll be Red Queen's escort for this trip.
AC_Newton appears to be somewhat down herself
Michaelangelo smiles content
<Azzazel> Hanni: (whisper) Can't argue with that, Hanni. To be honest, my motivations are completely selfish.
<Nita> well if he *really* doesn't want to go to ACy;'s sector that's certainly his businness
<Michaelangelo> Shall we go?
<Nita> yup
<Kay> yup
<Azzazel> Hanni: (whisper) I would like to go to AC's sector. Either with or without Marvin or RQ. I made a promise, and I'm sticking to it.
Michaelangelo offers his arm to Red Queen
<Hannibal_Golux> So you guys all going over to Newton's sector?
<Azzazel> I bloody am. AC?
<Nita> yes
<AC_Newton> Well, I hoped so...
Red_Queen takes Mike's arm.
<Azzazel> Marvin? Want to come?
<Michaelangelo> That was the idea.
<Hannibal_Golux> And all this started because Marvin wouldn't invite Red there? Tsk, tsk.
Hannibal_Golux stands
Michaelangelo gives a triumphant look to Marvin
<Marvin_Black> Will you stop bothering me if I do?
<AC_Newton> I will give you the coordinates, then we can race down the conduits...
<Azzazel> Sure.
<Azzazel> I'll buy you a drink, too. two drinks.
<Hannibal_Golux> Red Queen would you like to come to Newton's Sector?
<Azzazel> as many drinks as you bloody want.
<Michaelangelo> I've already invited her..
<Hannibal_Golux> Marvin, you wanna come have a look?
Marvin_Black sighs and gets up, fearing he will never be left alone if he doesn't
Red_Queen codes a shiny look on her, overriding her normal feeling readouts.
<Hannibal_Golux> I look forward to hearing your witty diatribe on her code.
<Azzazel> (he FEARS BEING LEFT ALONE???)
<Azzazel> (Rassum frassum)
<Marvin_Black> (*never* be left alone)
<AC_Newton> (Azz: The contrary)
<Azzazel> (oh. darn)
<AC_Newton> Well, I guess my code is somewhat onorrthodox...
<Azzazel> (damn braino)
<Azzazel> unorthodox?
<AC_Newton> unorthodox
<Marvin_Black> Ok... Ok... I'm already on my way...
<AC_Newton> Yeah, I guess so...
<AC_Newton> Kev complains all the time that I don't add comments etc
<Red_Queen> (comments?)
Michaelangelo smiles
<AC_Newton> (Well, yeah :-)
<Azzazel> (tsk)
<Red_Queen> (gah. I hate adding comments too. code is self explanatory. why use comments??/)
<Nita> (makes it easier to review after the fact -- or to correct problems)
<AC_Newton> He lectured me that proper code is 10% code and 90% comments...
<Red_Queen> (I know, I know. I still hate them though.)
<Michaelangelo> (good coding is usually accompanied by comments. Unless teh code is so clear that it is self explanatory to anyone reading it (including the boss who can't code, but can read code))
<Azzazel> (self explanatory to you, not to the poor bastard who has look after your code ^_^)
<AC_Newton> But I *know* my code! Why comment?
Hannibal_Golux appears to be getting bored.
<Azzazel> Because your kids might not understand what you did?
<Azzazel> Shall we go?
<Nita> yes
<Red_Queen> (AC: *exactly* my spirit..)
AC_Newton blushes
<Michaelangelo> Yes, shall we?
<Hannibal_Golux> Do we have to?
AC_Newton gives the coordinates
Michaelangelo will guide Red Queen to the Coordinates along the most scenic route I can imagine.
<AC_Newton> THe way to the sector is leading along a highspeed conduit, but then branches into a somewhat desolate sector landscape that obviously needs to be re-worked badly
Azzazel will follow AC -- she is the tour guide, anyway.
Marvin_Black checks the coordinateds and seeks for the straightest route to there.
<Azzazel> Mmm.
<AC_Newton> I'm sorry, I can't prog a vehicle for us all to go...
<Azzazel> We'll manage.
<Hannibal_Golux> I can
<AC_Newton> So we should probably go one by one...
Nita stuides the coord's for a moment
<AC_Newton> Oh, you can That would be cool!
<Hannibal_Golux> Tsk-tsk, such flawed code.
Red_Queen tries to enjoy the (lovely indeed) scenery.
Azzazel thinks for a while, and tries to conjure a flying carpet.
<AC_Newton> Flawed code?
AC_Newton sulks.
<Nita> hmm
<Hannibal_Golux> Linear transportation?
<AC_Newton> I need to study the Science of Correspondence a bit better
<Hannibal_Golux> Where's your parallel access ports?
<Nita> (could we do a gate?)
<AC_Newton> (Nita: If you have Corr 4 - yes)
<Hannibal_Golux> (in the web I have 5
<Nita> yes (well3+1)
<Hannibal_Golux> ( :))) )
<Nita> yes I do
<AC_Newton> (I have Corr 3 online, but that doesn't suffice)
<Nita> Hanni lets buiold a gate
<Nita> build too
<Marvin_Black> Could you make up your minds how to get there?
<AC_Newton> Hanni: Kev said it is easier to defend the sector if need be if there are not so many access ports
<Hannibal_Golux> Us? *shrugs* I can get parallel access up with my eyes shut.
<Marvin_Black> I want to get this done as fast as possible
Nita rolled 9d10 dice and got: 10, 6, 2, 5, 9, 4, 10, 3, 7
<Nita> 5?
<Hannibal_Golux> (Nita? What are you rolling for?)
<Nita> thats the programming for a gate
<Nita> 6 sux I think?
<Hannibal_Golux> (Well, I didn't know we'd even really bother rolling for it unless Stayka asked us)
<Azzazel> (damnit, a bit lost. I can jump through to your sector just by using Corr 3, yes?)
<Nita> true 9dice for programming
<Hannibal_Golux> (Nita: Han was gonna be flash and do it by himself... :) )
<AC_Newton> (Nita: I'd say that suffices)
<Hannibal_Golux> (After all, he is ultimately trying to have a stab at Grey)
<Nita> *sigh*
<AC_Newton> (Azz: Corr 3 suffices for teleport)
<Hannibal_Golux> (now you have just undercut him... tsk tsk... not getting into his goodbooks)
Nita rolled 4d10 dice and got: 7, 10, 2, 2
<Nita> 3 sux magick
<AC_Newton> (Nita: suffices)
Hannibal_Golux sits down
<AC_Newton> (Nita: How does your effect look like?)
<Hannibal_Golux> If the rest of your sector has such broken code, I'll wait until you've fixed it all.
<Nita> I figured a standard portal/doorway
<AC_Newton> Hanni: What are you talking about?! The conduits are public!
<Marvin_Black> Could you please hurry... We might die soon
<AC_Newton> (Nita: I prefer a nice description to the roll. So please describe how it looks like :-)
<Hannibal_Golux> (I thought this was thhe conduit to *your* sector... surely you would have control over how your sector is accessed)
<AC_Newton> (Hanni: You get on the conduit untill the "Firewall" ^_^
<AC_Newton> (Hanni: The access is separately secured)
<Hannibal_Golux> (bah... brain all melty)
<Nita> (Nita is trying to help, I don't think there was any intention of sidesteping Hanni. She doesn't want to cause trouble....
<Hannibal_Golux> (Ignore *everything* Han has said... um, ever)
<AC_Newton> (Hanni: Ok ^_^)
<Michaelangelo> (Who are you?)
<Hannibal_Golux> ( :) )
<Azzazel> ( :) )
<AC_Newton> (Nita: Don't worry about that - just *do* . :-)
<Marvin_Black> (What should I forget?)
<Nita> (she thought we were working together)
<AC_Newton> (Nita: Well, some little conflicts in the group make it more lively ^_^)
<Hannibal_Golux> (well, I usually wait for a called role if it's gonna be the case, and frankly I missed any suggestion of working together)
<AC_Newton> (Nita: Hanni often has his own ideas about how things show be done...)
<Hannibal_Golux> (I = Nimrod)
<Azzazel> (bathroom break, folks)
<Nita> ok: you see a small rectangle form on the wall, which expands into a doorway, there is a swirling light within for a moment.... then the view clears and you see another conduit space.
AC_Newton waits for the transportation EFfect
AC_Newton looks at it...
<AC_Newton> Kewl!
<Michaelangelo> (AC: Is your sector public, or closed?)
Nita steps thru
<Hannibal_Golux> (AC: Damn right. To be honest, had would just as rather have done it by himself without any "assistance". He's a VA after all. They like to show off what they can do and only work together when absolutely necessary.)
<Hannibal_Golux> (had = Han)
<AC_Newton> (Mike: So far it is still closed)
Kay steps thru
<AC_Newton> (Mike: It will be public when completed)
Hannibal_Golux looks at Nita's code.
<Marvin_Black> Can we go now?
AC_Newton steps throughs, too.
Nita beccons from the other side
Marvin_Black walks through the gate after AC
Hannibal_Golux steps through with the comment: "You got a messy loop here" and "That's a crash waiting to happen"
<AC_Newton> On the other side they see that they stand on a shimmering blue conduit
Michaelangelo and Red Queen have already left
<Azzazel> (re)
<Michaelangelo> (Han, what happened to you.. when did you turn so darn arrogant?)
<Hannibal_Golux> You got a bug about 0.43 seconds into the program
Azzazel steps through the portal
<Nita> hmmms -- /me looks at the code that Hanni pointed out.
<Hannibal_Golux> (I'm a VA, damn it. I've always been arrogant and especially when someone has just undercut him.)
<Azzazel> (juuust like a Hermetic)
<AC_Newton> The blue conduit seems to stretch into infinity on one side, and then it turns into concentric circles that surround a sector which is currently surrounded by huge black shimmering walls that stretch up high and low
<Azzazel> (geez, WW sure made you guys the same)
<AC_Newton> (LOL)
<Hannibal_Golux> (Did no one notice that Han's Arrogance-ometer went up, like, whenever Asmo was around?)
Nita saves the program, and will patch the error.
<Red_Queen> (true.)
<Azzazel> (the guy was so competitive anyway)
<Azzazel> (men)
<AC_Newton> They stand in front of a part of a wall where a sign says "Under Construction"
<Hannibal_Golux> Nita: I wouldn't bother saving it... better off rewriting it from scratch.
<Azzazel> Uhm...
AC_Newton blushes a bit.
<Azzazel> That's. Nice.
<Red_Queen> (it's VA vs VA. the reason red is so desperate of VAs she finds Marv a breath of fresh air. sorta)
Nita blushes -- thank you
<Azzazel> Very... postmodern.
<AC_Newton> Well, it's about 3/4 done, I'd say
<Hannibal_Golux> AC: Gee, and here I was under the impression it was finished. What with the sign and all.
<AC_Newton> Well, I'll open it to the public soon
Marvin_Black looks around and sighs
Red_Queen is waiting for the others next to Michaelangelo.
<AC_Newton> You are the first who can look at the implementation
Michaelangelo raises his hand in greeting
Azzazel waves at Michaelangelo
Hannibal_Golux starts to examine the code (looking for bad code)
Marvin_Black sighs
AC_Newton steps to the sign an lays her hand against is, and the wall shimmers violet-ish andopens a doorway
<Marvin_Black> Han: Evrything is flawed... There is nothing pure...
<AC_Newton> (Hanny: The "Firewall looks very orderly. Not really VA style, but stury)
<AC_Newton> sturdy
<Hannibal_Golux> (Han is going to be *highly* critical of any code flaw he can find and *will* point it out. Just to piss off Grey.)
<Azzazel> "Pure code is a blank piece of paper"
Azzazel walks by towards Michaelangelo and RQ.
<AC_Newton> (Hanny: You would say it is a bit dowdy
<Azzazel> RQ&Mike: How are both of you holding up?
<AC_Newton> (Hanni: plain, but it does its job ^_^ No bells & whistles)
Marvin_Black arrives with the others... and sighs
<AC_Newton> Please, come in!
AC_Newton waves to the others
<Hannibal_Golux> This firewall's a bit drab. And the code is somewhat inflated considering you haven't even bothered with any frills.
<AC_Newton> Hanni, that you have to tell Kev. He coded it
<Hannibal_Golux> I bet Grey coded it.
Michaelangelo walks in with Red Queen at his side
Marvin_Black follows the others and looks very indifferent
AC_Newton looks at Hanni: How can you tell?
Azzazel looks at Red Queen, smiles and asks:
<Hannibal_Golux> Huh... Stinks of the anti-septic drab and *grey* feel of someone in the Union.
<Azzazel> RQ: Feeling better?
<AC_Newton> Oh.
<AC_Newton> Well, but it works...
<Red_Queen> Yes, much better Azzazel.
<AC_Newton> As soon as everybody steps through and AC took her hand away, the doorway disappears again
<Red_Queen> thanks.
<Hannibal_Golux> If we were only interested in functionality your sector wouldn't even exist.
<Azzazel> RQ: That's nice.
<Marvin_Black> Can we get this behind us?
<AC_Newton> Well, I did the design. Kev implemented the foundations
<Azzazel> Mike: What have you guys seen so far?
Marvin_Black seems a little bit silent. Outside he's showing nothing, but insside he is full of thoughts
<Red_Queen> Well, the way here was quite nice.
<Azzazel> Mmm. What did you guys manage to see?
<AC_Newton> As soon as they crosses the 2Firewall", the seem to be in a sector that looks as if it stretches out farther than it should
<Red_Queen> But mostly, we waited for AC to show us around
<Hannibal_Golux> Apart from line 3119 which had an inverted binary.
<Hannibal_Golux> (that bit directed at RQ's comment about the journye here)
<AC_Newton> Obviously there are some routines implemented that lead visitors in patterns that make them not meet the corders
Azzazel nods amicably, and glances at Marvin.
<AC_Newton> borders
<AC_Newton> The sky stretches seemindly far about the sector, and one even sees the occasional spaceship or aero-shuttle draw their tracks
<AC_Newton> At the moment they are uin a park area, and the city proper stretches out just before them.
<Hannibal_Golux> Could have been a bit more inventive with your cloning.
<Michaelangelo> What kind of weather simulation are you using
?<Marvin_Black> Why are we here again?
<AC_Newton> Conveyor belts are scattered through the park, waiting to carry passengers to their destination
<Hannibal_Golux> Those two shuttles have the same glitch in their propulsion subroutines.
<AC_Newton> Mike: It is a kind of fractal pattern, Kev told me.
<Hannibal_Golux> Oh, look, and that one.
Marvin_Black looks down and sighs
AC_Newton squints their eyes.
<AC_Newton> Oh. I didn't donice that!
<Michaelangelo> Haven't you ever paid attention to real world weather.. it doesn't behave like fractals..
<Hannibal_Golux> ...and that one. Àåÿ¿netLast message repeated 1 time(s).
<AC_Newton> I have to rework that a little, it seems.
<Hannibal_Golux> ...and that one.
AC_Newton blushes
<AC_Newton> Mike: Aehm, I'm no meteorologist, I'm afraid
<Michaelangelo> Real world weather with enough processing power and data inputs are completely predicatable.
<Hannibal_Golux> Congratulations, you've successfully cloned the glitches at least.
AC_Newton blushes a bit more
Marvin_Black stands still and keeps silent, looking down
<Hannibal_Golux> Grey: You didn't use a cloner with a built-in debugger?
<AC_Newton> I think I shouldn't do so much copy and paste...
<Hannibal_Golux> Tsk-tsk. Very tardy.
<Michaelangelo> But at least it looks nice, and that is all that matters.. isn't it?
<Azzazel> Mmm. It has nice proportions.
AC_Newton smiles at Mike
<AC_Newton> Well, the weather patterns weren't our foremost concerns...
<Azzazel> The building design -- yeah. It does remind me of those old fifties magazine covers.
<Hannibal_Golux> The edges of this walkway could do with some more anti-aliasing.
<Azzazel> Tsk.
<KevinGrey> Mr.Golux, I haven't programmed everything here
KevinGrey raises an eyebrow
Marvin_Black follows his thoughts and is buisy to hide it.. and his confusion
<Azzazel> The overall idea isn't too bad. The details, yes.
KevinGrey has joined the group via one of the conveyor belts
<Hannibal_Golux> I didn't say that you did Agent Grey.
<Azzazel> Hm. I didn't know you were a FM, Hannibal.
<Hannibal_Golux> (FM?)
<KevinGrey> May I welcome you to AC's sector?
<Azzazel> (Format Master)
<Hannibal_Golux> ( :) )
<Michaelangelo> (Cryptkeeper)
<Azzazel> ("Your code is DIRTY! MESSY! You is SCUM!")
<Hannibal_Golux> (Nah... you have to appreciate I'm particularly doing this to wind up Grey)
<Azzazel> I generally like the design, and I can see where Stayka is going with her work.
AC_Newton looks a bit crestfallen at Hanni
<AC_Newton> Is it *that* bad?
Red_Queen looks at the buildings and spaceships.
<Azzazel> Well, AC, you got stages one and two correct.
<Michaelangelo> There are a few minor glitches in it.. but since it seems you did do a lot of cloning.. it's not that hard to fix..
<Red_Queen> I still think it's rather stylish.
<Azzazel> Idea to design seems to be all right.
<AC_Newton> The buildings are brightly coloured and seem to consist of metal and glass
<Michaelangelo> And then there is nothing to be nagged about by Hannibal over there anymore.
<AC_Newton> Azz: Which stages?
<Azzazel> Like Hannibal said, the implementation needs work, but then again... plenty of things do.
<Hannibal_Golux> It's not that bad, Newton. Somewhat grey in places.
<Red_Queen> It's quite what I'd expect from an Etherite secotr AC
AC_Newton smiles again
Marvin_Black refrains from sighing this time... Not wanting to draw attention
Red_Queen smiles at AC
<AC_Newton> Ah. Well, we are not fully finished yet...
<Azzazel> No. Do you need beta-testers?
<Hannibal_Golux> I can see
<Michaelangelo> And AC, where is the art gallery?
KevinGrey looks at the rose AC holds in her hand and frowns a bit.
<AC_Newton> Betatesters? Well, sure
<Azzazel> (OooOooo... JEALOUSY!)
Red_Queen turns to black, then decidedly focuses her attention to the others. For a full 2000 msecs.
<AC_Newton> Mike, and art gallery? I haven't thought of that tyet
<Azzazel> Well, Hannibal seems eager to volunteer, unless I am much mistaken.
<Michaelangelo> But you told me that the people in this world would have plenty of time to dedicate time to other persuits than science...
<Michaelangelo> So there should be quite a lot of gardens and art galleries in this place.
<KevinGrey> Well, I will certainly see to it that I fix what needs fixing
Hannibal_Golux grunts and frowns at Azzazel.
Azzazel looks innocent.
<AC_Newton> Hm... You are right...
Marvin_Black stands silently in the backround
<Azzazel> Marvin? Anything you want to say?
<AC_Newton> I think I will see to it that we will add one after the original design is through...
<Marvin_Black> Why are we here again?
Red_Queen turns to Marv.
<Azzazel> Mmm. AC invited us. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
<Azzazel> Unless you want to get to metaphysics.
<AC_Newton> Kev, is the restaurant finished?
Red_Queen turns her back to him again.
KevinGrey sighs.
Marvin_Black waits till no one looks at him and looks down again
<KevinGrey> Well, half of it. THe bar is already usable
Michaelangelo gently draws Red Queen a little bit closer to himself.
<AC_Newton> Well, then want you to see the Starlight Casino?
<Azzazel> (Mike, we have a name for people like you: "Sneaky fucks" ;) )
<AC_Newton> (*g*)
Red_Queen lets herself be drawn.
<Red_Queen> (LOLOL)
<Michaelangelo> (And you have no idea what I'm doing, do you
?)<Azzazel> (Marvin isn't paying attention, if that's what you mean)
<Red_Queen> (*sigh* true)
<AC_Newton> So, wanna take a little drink? Tass is free everywhere in the DW after all
Red_Queen rolled 4d10 dice and got: 9, 9, 4, 9
Red_Queen makes Marv feel a sudden impulse to look at her.
<Red_Queen> (I wuv mind magick.)
<Azzazel> (ain't this resisted?)
<Red_Queen> (he wasnt expecting it)
<Michaelangelo> (Jealousy should be one of the strongest emotions around)
Marvin_Black suddendly looks up at Red standing next to Mike, then looks down again, sighing this time.
<Michaelangelo> (Jealous and hatred both are very strong.. and very closely related)
KevinGrey make a step towards AC and takes her in his arms, to make sure the other notice who she belongs to.
Nita looks at menu for the bar
<KevinGrey> The rose really irritated him.
<Azzazel> (you just making him miserable, silly!)
<Red_Queen> (quite possible...)
<Marvin_Black> (As long as Red doesn't overdo it... Then he will put up a mind shield... he has a high awarness rating)
<Michaelangelo> (well.. that's how he made Red Queen feel)
<Red_Queen> (Marv will prolly think he's right now)
Hannibal_Golux stares into the sky, slightly away from the group, looking mildly bored.
<AC_Newton> Aehm, wanna see the STarlight Casino now?
Azzazel is sitting at a ledge, somewhere, keeping an eye at both RQ and Marv.
<Nita> yes
<Red_Queen> Sure!
<Azzazel> Casino, eh?
AC_Newton smiles
<Red_Queen> sounds nice.
<AC_Newton> Just hop on here...
AC_Newton points to the nearest conveyor belt
Azzazel hops on.
<Nita> *a rolling road*
Michaelangelo steps on the conveyor belt
Hannibal_Golux follows
Marvin_Black slowly shuffles after the others and steps on the belt.
<AC_Newton> The belt starts moving, and it takes only seconds and they are in front of one f the buildings
Kay joins everyone else
Marvin_Black mumbles to himself silently
<AC_Newton> It didn't move fast though.
<Marvin_Black> See? What did I tell you...
Red_Queen notices the view as they move in the conveyor belt.
<Red_Queen> AC: very... Utopian AC
AC_Newton leads them into a dark blue and silver building. A lift brings then into another level
Azzazel sits crosslegged on the conveyor.
AC_Newton smiles. WEll, amost Utopian cities have conveyor belts for passengers
Marvin_Black looks down silently
<Michaelangelo> (BRB (BathRoomBreak))
<Azzazel> Mmm. Moving while sitting on my butt. Fun.
Red_Queen chuckles with that
<AC_Newton> They get out and are in a bar that is lighted in an eeries blueish green
Marvin_Black sighs and tries to sort out his thoughts
Red_Queen looks at Marv studying the floor patterns, apparently byte by byte.)
Kay looks for a menu
Azzazel goes hmm, and thinks of conjuring an ebony cane.
Red_Queen looks around.
<Azzazel> (roll int+comp, unless someone stops me)
<Michaelangelo> (ST: I'll be back in ten minutes, gotta go to work now, will continue playing when I arrive)
<AC_Newton> THere are windows in the walls and colourful fishes swim around. The ceiling mimicks a starlit sky, though
<AC_Newton> (Mike: Ok)
<Red_Queen> (cu Mike)
Azzazel rolled 7d10 dice and got: 1, 6, 6, 1, 7, 10, 4
Red_Queen sighs.
Marvin_Black looks around and keeps himself in the backround
<Hannibal_Golux> Let's hope it's not the Union to complain about the noise.
Azzazel conjures an ebony-black cane with silver head.
<AC_Newton> THe room is generously spaces and floating chairs and tables made of glassite give it a very SFish outlook
Red_Queen looks at the ceiling
<Azzazel> mmm. Where's the bartender?
<AC_Newton> Noise?
<Red_Queen> wow! AC: this is so nice!
AC_Newton smiles
<AC_Newton> Moment.
Marvin_Black looks down again
AC_Newton walks to the glassite bar and touches a sensor field
<AC_Newton> A field shimmers and a silvery robot materialized. It looks like the raw form of Maria from Metropolis
<Red_Queen> (is there a piano in the room?)
Azzazel beckons Red Queen to a private table.
<AC_Newton> Red: Nope, sorry
Red_Queen walks towards Azzazel.
<Hannibal_Golux> This table wobbles. Anyone got a bit of paper to stuff under it?
<Red_Queen> what is it?
<Red_Queen> (LOL)
AC_Newton grins.
<Azzazel> (hee hee)
<AC_Newton> You'd need at least 20 books or so
<Azzazel> RedQ: Just wanted to ask if you were all right, and if you wanted a drink or anything. You seem distracted.
<KevinGrey> I assure you the coordinates are calculated precisely - there is no wobbling at all
<Red_Queen> I.. I'm okay Azzazel.
<Hannibal_Golux> Actually, this table is out by 0.0000000001
Marvin_Black absently: I could stop this table wobbling forever...
<Azzazel> Mmm. Hold on here a minute, I'll get you something.
<Red_Queen> I could live with a drink right now.
Azzazel nods at RQ
<Red_Queen> thanks.
KevinGrey pushes another button and another robot materializes and walks to the tables
<AC_Newton> (AC did that)
<Azzazel> What would you like, btw?
<Kay> RQ: what wass that drink you got me in the main bar?
<Red_Queen> Vulcan Blood?
<Red_Queen> (heh)
<Azzazel> (that's a creepy name for a waiter)
<RobotWait> (^_^)
<Azzazel> (esp a robot one)
Kay orders a vulcan blood
Azzazel nods at RQ.
<Azzazel> Kay, you want anything?
<Red_Queen> make these two..
Kay orders a Vulcan Blood.
BotWaiter takes the orders and sends them to the bar immediately
<Azzazel> Old Guinness stout for me, thanks.
<BotWaiter> By your command!
Nita oders the same
<Hannibal_Golux> (Robot. Wait. Good robot. Um. No. It's not waiting... It *has* actually crashed. Um.)
<Marvin_Black> I'd like an Enduring Suffering
<BotWaiter> Pardon: "Enduring Suffering" is no drink in my database
<Nita> (Imperious Leader?)
<BotWaiter> (Nita: hehe)
<Azzazel> (who's with me on the table? checking)
<Marvin_Black> An Endless Pain?
<Azzazel> (RQ is. is Kay and Nita?)
<Red_Queen> (me)
AC_Newton was at the bar and now went back to the table where Hanni is
<Nita> yes we're where RQ is
<Hannibal_Golux> BotWaiter... you misunderstood him. What he meant to say was that he likes enduring suffering... and endless pain. It wasn't a drinks order.
<Azzazel> (And where're you, Marv?)
Red_Queen is very tempted to hack the bot to spill a drink on Marv. But since this is AC's place, she won't.
<BotWaiter> Marv: Sir, if you could tell me the ingredients I would gladly mix it for you.
Marvin_Black stands somewhere keeping to himself... While trying to get a drink
<Marvin_Black> Nevermind...
AC_Newton blushes
<AC_Newton> Hanni: I think the waiter bot needs a bit work, too
<Hannibal_Golux> BotWaiter: Please give my friend here a Slow Comfortable Screw...
<Azzazel> (LoL)
<Hannibal_Golux> ...he sure as heck needs one.
<Red_Queen> (LOL)
<Azzazel> (rofl)
<Marvin_Black> (*ggg*)
<BotWaiter> (Is that a standard drink?)
<Hannibal_Golux> (yes)
<Hannibal_Golux> (it's a standard cocktail)
<BotWaiter> (good :-)
BotWaiter sends the order to the bar.
<BotWaiter> Order processed
<Hannibal_Golux> (along with the other favourite Sex on the Beach)
<Azzazel> Mm. What's on your mind, Red Queen?
<BotWaiter> (Hehe)
<Azzazel> (or slippery nipple)
Marvin_Black walks to the bar sitting down there alone
<BotWaiter> Within a minute, the drinks are served
<Red_Queen> some dark thoughts, about a certain dark guy.
Red_Queen sighs
<Azzazel> Mmm. No surprises who.
<Azzazel> You really fancy him rotten, don't you.
<Hannibal_Golux> (I believe a Slow Comfortable Screw's two main ingredients are Sloe Gin and Orange Juice... there are some other ingredients, but I always forget them)
Red_Queen smiles sadly.
<BotWaiter> (:-)
<Azzazel> (there's one in a bar I go to, called "Bucket of Jizz".)
<Red_Queen> Yeah. you could phrase it like this.
<Hannibal_Golux> (heh-heh)
<Hannibal_Golux> (they like those sexy names)
<Azzazel> well, that was less than subtle, but you've been stealing glances at him for a while now.
Marvin_Black just stares into nothingness, sighing every now and then
<Red_Queen> (heh, I've seen a drink called "pink clit".)
<AC_Newton> (Don't tell that to AC, she'd faint in embarassment)
<Hannibal_Golux> (... talking of less than subtle)
<Azzazel> (LoL. I know ^^)
<Red_Queen> (yep...)
AC_Newton looks to Hanni
Red_Queen sighs again.
<Hannibal_Golux> (You might as well just go naming a drink "A Good Hard Rogering" or something.)
<AC_Newton> So how do you like *this*?
<Red_Queen> well, since he is soo damn busy checking out the sector's floor code..
Michaelangelo logs on again
Michaelangelo looks around.
<Hannibal_Golux> AC: Well, it's not exactly inspired code, but the floating furniture is a nice touch.
<Azzazel> Mmm. He is a bit stuck on some things.
<Michaelangelo> (gotta love remote access to your comp (though I am a bit laggy right now))
<AC_Newton> (Mike: It's a spatious bar, walls with glass windows behind which fishes swim, ceilig is a starlit night, floating tables and chairs of glassite)
Michaelangelo walks over to Red Queen
<AC_Newton> Well, I never claimed to be a first class coder...
Marvin_Black seems not to even notice the others at the moment
Azzazel goes tsk.
<Michaelangelo> I'm sorry Red Queen, but I had some important financiel business to take care off for a moment. I was expecting them.
<Azzazel> I mean, look at him. Stuck in his own world. Bloody hell.
<AC_Newton> (Marv a clown fish 10 times the normal size looks at you)
<Hannibal_Golux> (is it riding a unicycle?)
Marvin_Black looks at the fish and furrows his brows
Red_Queen dismisses it with a hand, telling Mike it's ok from her seat at the table.
<AC_Newton> (Hanni: Naw. But it is bright orange and white)
<Hannibal_Golux> (is it juggling mino?)
<Azzazel> (does it scare children ^^)
<AC_Newton> (Azz: In that size - proabably)
<Red_Queen> Michaelangelo, would you like a drink too?
<Hannibal_Golux> (does it turn into a rather disappointing giant spider?)
<Azzazel> (LoL)
<Azzazel> (and balloons, don't forget those)
AC_Newton waves to the RobWaiter to go over to Michaelangelo
Red_Queen looks around for the waiter Bot
<Hannibal_Golux> (and the headlight eyes)
<AC_Newton> (I should have used an Emperor Fish ^_^ )
<Azzazel> (and that really disturbing tinkerbell tension music)
Marvin_Black puts the Cthuluh and the bar and looks at it, while it seems to be talking about something
<Azzazel> (we could have asked you if the fish was naked)
<AC_Newton> (LOL)
<Hannibal_Golux> (heh-heh)
<Azzazel> (Of course, Rockfish and Scorpionfish probably elicit the same response ^o^)
<AC_Newton> (Hehe)
AC_Newton smiles at the others
<Nita> (hmm can I use forces to move the cthulu's tenticles (waving at marvin?)
<Azzazel> RQ: You've tried talking to Marvin, though? About how you feel?
<AC_Newton> WEll, the other places that are finished are the exhibition of SCience
<Michaelangelo> Red Queen: Yes, please...
<Red_Queen> Tried?
<AC_Newton> (Nita: Sure. But beware the wrath of the Cthulhu)
Red_Queen chuckles.
Nita does then
Nita rolled 4d10 dice and got: 4, 8, 3, 8
<Hannibal_Golux> (Marv: Is he saying: " Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Nimrod R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!")
<AC_Newton> (Marv: Your Cthulhu waves at you)
Nita rolled 4 dice and got: 2
<Nita> sighs
<AC_Newton> (Nita: I assume it worked)
<Red_Queen> I used direct mind feedback to show him what I felt like.
<Michaelangelo> I'll take... a glass of water.
Nita giggles
<Azzazel> RQ: It would have overwhelmed him.
<Azzazel> It probably did. Didn't it?
<Red_Queen> He didn't even understand.
<BotWaiter> The MEtropolis style robot brigs Michaelangelo he glass
<Azzazel> Exactly.
Michaelangelo takes a look at the code of the water
<Azzazel> He's been stuck in his pit for years by the looks of it.
Marvin_Black furrows his brows as Cthuluh waves
<Azzazel> You can't just pour him water to feed his thirst. You'd drown him in his hole.
<Michaelangelo> (We could just take him on a tour of the porn sectors?)
<AC_Newton> (Mike: It looks a bit chaotic, you would say. Some parts are brilliant, some very weird...)
<Hannibal_Golux> I preferred the Metropolis bot when she looked human. I bet she was a real goer. Like the Energiser Bunny.
Red_Queen sighs, not wanting to narrate Marv's tragic story again.
<Azzazel> I mean, stuff like this... don't you start small?
Red_Queen considers what Azz is saying.
<Marvin_Black> (Red: You know he lived alone for years and lives alone right now and almost never sees other people)
<AC_Newton> Well, the human version looked so normal
<Red_Queen> he..
<Azzazel> Like: Hi, I really like you.
Michaelangelo hmms while staring intentely at his glass... and making notes on his sketchblock
<Azzazel> Can we hang around?
<Red_Queen> yeah. you're right.
<Azzazel> Remember: he's not exactly what we call, "fully mature".
<Michaelangelo> Ehrm.. Captain Newton... what is *this* supposed to be?
<Hannibal_Golux> Yeah, but a young man can't fantasise about metal and wires... Unless that's really what rocks your I/O Bus.
<AC_Newton> What?
Red_Queen smiles.
<Michaelangelo> Well, the water...
Marvin_Black puts the Cthuluh back to his shoulder
<AC_Newton> It's Tass, of course
<Michaelangelo> It seems something is wrong with it...
<Red_Queen> (lolol "rocks your I/O Bus")
<AC_Newton> What is wrong with Tass?
<Azzazel> He looks really miserable. talk to him. And don't tell him what he should be thinking. just listen.
<Hannibal_Golux> Is it cherry flavoured?
<Hannibal_Golux> WaiterBot. One Cherry Tass please.
<Azzazel> it would probably make a difference, anyway. we've all been inflicting our worldviews on him.
<Michaelangelo> I have no clue... it just doesn't.... look right....though it may be my imagination..
BotWaiter delivers the order to Hanni
<AC_Newton> Hm.
<AC_Newton> For me it looks water-y enough
<Red_Queen> Azzazel, if I believe what he says, I'll have to kill myself to spare me from the suffering of living.
<Michaelangelo> Even for tass, it should be a lot more structured down on the code level..
<Michaelangelo> And water is very easy to code..
<AC_Newton> Hm...
<Azzazel> I said listen, not believe.
<Marvin_Black> (Poor AC... Her work torn apart *g*)
AC_Newton looks at the code
<Azzazel> it's not as if his beliefs are viral, and must be defended against.
Michaelangelo points out the points that.. well... he found suspicious.
<Red_Queen> well...
<Azzazel> just listen. and sympathize. by the looks of it he's gone to plenty of shit.
<Red_Queen> I don't think his beliefs could tolerate with something as promising as love.
<Red_Queen> he has.
<Red_Queen> and he's afraid of going through more
<Azzazel> don't work for love. work for acceptance, first.
<Azzazel> baby steps, remember?
Red_Queen chuckles.
<Red_Queen> Maybe you're right.
Marvin_Black looks away from the others realxing his tight facial expression and gives his confusion way
<Azzazel> maybe. or I could be wrong.
<Red_Queen> It's surprising to hear this from you, of all people.
Red_Queen smiles.
<Azzazel> Me? I'm a lot more complicated than I seem.
<Michaelangelo> AC: Anyways.. I'm not thirsty anymore...
<Azzazel> that
<Azzazel> is the charm of it, eh?
Azzazel winks at RQ.
Red_Queen nods.
<AC_Newton> Oh
Michaelangelo walks over to Marvin.. and stands next to him
<Azzazel> hm. look. Mike is with him.
<Michaelangelo> (whisper) How did you feel when you saw me and Red Queen walking arm in arm?
<AC_Newton> (Sorry, I'm getting tired again..
Marvin_Black puts his indifferent expression back to his face as he noticeses someone approaching
<Azzazel> (whoah. nice one, Mike.)
<Michaelangelo> (my reactions in a few minutes)
<AC_Newton> (If you like you can continue here anyway)
<Marvin_Black> Mike: Well I said so... No one cares for me
Red_Queen looks at Marv and Mike
<Red_Queen> damn.
<Azzazel> I'll lead Mike away,
<Red_Queen> I think he got the wrong picture.
<Red_Queen> Marv.
<Red_Queen> as usual...
<AC_Newton> (I brought you in the Casino to make sure there was a fall-back ^_^)
Red_Queen sighs
<Azzazel> Yah. Well, I'll lead Mike away. Here's hoping he don't make a pigs' breakfast out of things.
Azzazel stands up, and walks towards Mike and Marvin.
<Hannibal_Golux> (Bah! Didn't see anything after my order... Did I miss anything interesting?)
<Hannibal_Golux> (I just thought... we've been drinking Tass like us Brits drink tea... We must be bloated on the damned stuff by now)
<Michaelangelo> Yeah?
<AC_Newton> [Sorry, can't concentrate anymore, but you can continue. I might hover here a bit, but I'm half asleep)
<Hannibal_Golux> (We can leave it here, if you want, I don't mind)
<Azzazel> Mmm. Naw, just bored a bit. (whisper) What was up with you and RQ anyway?
<AC_Newton> (Well, I guess you might want to leave anyway
<Michaelangelo> (whisper) Nothing that would matter to you, kid.
<Michaelangelo> (fine)
<AC_Newton> (You can say you better want to see it when it is finished)
<Azzazel> (Well... so how? Another sesh, or conclude this?)
<Red_Queen> another session.
<AC_Newton>< (azz: Well, I guess we can conclude this - Kev wants some quiet to continue progging ^_^)
