 Dr.Marcello Keagan (OoH bani Thig) - played by Dingo
 Moonchild Farstrider (Dreamspeaker) - played by Fuzzy

<MC_Farstrider> oh, Doc, hello :)

<Marcello_Keagan> Hello, Miss Farstrider

<Marcello_Keagan> Lovely house you have.

MC_Farstrider smiles, thank you

<MC_Farstrider> It was once owned by my grandmother, she too was a healer

<Marcello_Keagan> I've been thinking about what you blamed Asmodai of and what his defense was.

<MC_Farstrider> we have been working on that ourselves

<MC_Farstrider> after lengthy talks with Kat and Amber its pretty much been decided

<Marcello_Keagan> I know that some more traditional practices can be very effective...it's part psychological and part medical in nature...but well..

<MC_Farstrider> that Kat's paranoia has become unmanageable

Marcello_Keagan frowns a bit

<MC_Farstrider> we've temporarily relieved her of duty -- while looking for help for her

Marcello_Keagan nods

<MC_Farstrider> lately she is seeing "barabbi" behind every bush

<Marcello_Keagan> A pretty wise choice I think..

<MC_Farstrider> we've written Asmo with a long explanation and what we are doing to cope with it

<MC_Farstrider> Amber has a lot of interesting thoughts on the nature of the DW

<MC_Farstrider> and most of it maps pretty well with what we've gotten from

<Marcello_Keagan> Well you are not the only one who needs to change to cope with it....there is something in Mr. Asmodai's nature that can be considered as repugnant to others too.

<MC_Farstrider> from Asmo as well as GW and other people that visit it

<Marcello_Keagan> My best guess as to the nature of the DW is that it is someone else's dream, that you are allowed to enter under his conditions.

<MC_Farstrider> Amber thinks that we need to consider that the place is not really a Realm, but more an enigma or a Zone

<MC_Farstrider> she comments that when one steps sideways into the umbra one's matter transformed in the Ephemera (the stuff of spirits), when one crosses to the dead lands one become plasm.

<Marcello_Keagan> I'm familiar with the term.

<MC_Farstrider> so it follows that translating to the DW, (a zone of forces and correspondence) that one becomes "forces"

<MC_Farstrider> Asmo's explanation of how the Demise does what it does, makes sense within that framework, (forces can be held / managed or blocked by other forces)

<Marcello_Keagan> It makes sense this way.

MC_Farstrider blushes a bit for thinking "scientifically"

<Marcello_Keagan> One thing Miss Farstrider...how do you usually enter the Digital Web?

<MC_Farstrider> up until the Cave experience

AC_Newton thinks she slowly starts to understand some of the things MC relates.

<MC_Farstrider> we walked to the near umbra found the Weaver's Pattern Web and climbed into the DW from the Pattern Web

Marcello_Keagan uses Mind 3 to send AC the following message: "Cram!."

<MC_Farstrider> we've since learned how to "broadcast" out "senses" via spirit and corr and mind medicine

<AC_Newton> (*g*)

<MC_Farstrider> so we can enter the DW without the problems incurred by being there "physically"

<MC_Farstrider> some day, we'd like to learn enough of computers to be able to do things most people do there though.

<Marcello_Keagan> Thats a wise choice of you, Miss Farstrider. From what I know thats a lot safer.

<MC_Farstrider> if we correctly understand the terms, we're now "sensory immersed"

<MC_Farstrider> vs "totally immersed"

<Dani1> don 4get mee -- i b heer 2

<Marcello_Keagan> Dani, I would very much like to speak to MC now...is that okay with you?

<Dani1> i don wanna go way ... i wanna play wit Maeve

<Marcello_Keagan> Miss Farstrider?

<MC_Farstrider> we are most definitely difference people

<MC_Farstrider> err deferent

<Marcello_Keagan> Miss Farstrider how would you like to be on your own for a short while?

<MC_Farstrider> that would be most odd, almost as weird as being separated from the spirits

<Marcello_Keagan> It will be odd, but you would be free from the others for just a short while...

<MC_Farstrider> our people all have their jobs.... I for example, am not a protector

<Marcello_Keagan> Yes, I know...but whom does Kat protect..you or others?

<MC_Farstrider> that Kat's job. Nor am I good with social skills thats Nikki's job

<MC_Farstrider> Kat is the primary system protector (both inside and outside)

<MC_Farstrider> as with most protector's she has little or no social skills

<MC_Farstrider> that's not her job

<Marcello_Keagan> But thats not what I asked....how would you like to be just you for a while. With no interference from the others?

Marcello_Keagan looks at you calm and assuring

<MC_Farstrider> I think that is a bad idea (we are a system), besides there are many you have never met

<Marcello_Keagan> Do you want me to meet them?

<Marcello_Keagan> I know that Miss Farstrider...but there are also some alters who show self-destructive behavior, or can be very dangerous to their environment.

<MC_Farstrider> that's is also true -- but we have provision to cope with that.

<MC_Farstrider> we have a pretty good security section to house those that cannot or will not be reasonable

<Marcello_Keagan> So you locked them up, just because you didn't find them reasonable?

<MC_Farstrider> well... how would you treat an alter that was acting in a manner that was dangerous to themselves or others

<MC_Farstrider> usually, singleton's that act like the are keep from hurting themselves

<Marcello_Keagan> Unfortunately..yes...many people are locked away when they can be treated..

Jack listens warily

Marcello_Keagan looks at Jack

<Jack> I'm Jack ... a protector -- as Kat is not feeling well

<Marcello_Keagan> Can I talk to Miss Farstrider again.

<Marcello_Keagan> I have no intention of harming her, so you are not needed

<MC_Farstrider> umms.. where were we?

Marcello_Keagan looks a little bit worried at MC

<MC_Farstrider> I would like to get help for Kat, but not at the expense of everyone else

<Marcello_Keagan> I just got a little visit from Jack....care to explain?

<MC_Farstrider> Jack is watching out for us, while Kat is unavailable

<Marcello_Keagan> What was it that you were afraid off? Not me, I hope

<MC_Farstrider> He's one of our protectors

<Marcello_Keagan> He told me so.

<MC_Farstrider> I guess he felt me be concerned

<Marcello_Keagan> Yes.....

<MC_Farstrider> as I said, I like to help Kat, but not at everyone else's expense

<MC_Farstrider> I don't yet have the skill in Mind medicine

<Marcello_Keagan> If you tell me what you think is the problem with Kat's behaviour..I can have a talk with her if you want....

<MC_Farstrider> as we said, since she got "triggered" in the Cave room, she's been seeing trouble everywhere and barrabi behind every tree

<Marcello_Keagan> She's gotten a little paranoid...is there any reason for her to be paranoid?

<MC_Farstrider> she's remembered some of the *things* the cult used/did

<Marcello_Keagan> And she couldn't accept your explanation of what happened in the cave?

<MC_Farstrider> the Cave as we'd said was a trigger, based on the loss of contact with the Otherworlds

<Marcello_Keagan> Miss Farstrider do you trust me?

<MC_Farstrider> in her experience, only the *things* that can do that people involved with the fallen or their other servants

<MC_Farstrider> honestly I don't know

<Marcello_Keagan> Okay, I'll tell you what I have in mind.

<Marcello_Keagan> I heard you talking of a place in yours mind where you and all the others can talk to each other is that right?

<MC_Farstrider> yes, of course

<Marcello_Keagan> Will you, those of you that are in charge, allow me to visit that place?

<MC_Farstrider> hmms -- via mind medicine?

<Marcello_Keagan> In a way...yes...this is a trick I've learned a while back..

<MC_Farstrider> trick?

<Marcello_Keagan> Telepathy.

<MC_Farstrider> mmmmm

<MC_Farstrider> ok follow me

Marcello_Keagan follows MC

MC_Farstrider walks to the elevator

<MC_Farstrider> takes it to basement

<MC_Farstrider> to workroom

<MC_Farstrider> there she does a regular circle ritual

Marcello_Keagan looks interested

<Marcello_Keagan> Prime 1 to see what she's using

<Marcello_Keagan> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marcello_Keagan rolls the dice and gets the following results: 8 10 7 1

<MC_Farstrider> raising help from the elements, she invokes the "watchtowers"

<MC_Farstrider> then when the circle is raised, she sits on her furs in the circle and meditates

<MC_Farstrider> (prime, spirit, mind, life)

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 6

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 2 1 7 9 2

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 6

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 4 6 1 6 6

<MC_Farstrider> 3 successes for mediation

<MC_Farstrider> she enters her "dream scape" world

Marcello_Keagan looks around for a chair

<MC_Farstrider> there she waits at the gateway for "visitors"

Marcello_Keagan hasn't done this before, he knows it should be possible, but he'd rather sit comfortably.

MC_Farstrider turns her ring so it wont try to block him

Marcello_Keagan finds no chair and decides to sit on the ground

<MC_Farstrider> you find most of the floor is covered with soft furs and is not uncomfortable

Marcello_Keagan takes a view deep breaths and tries to attain an empty mind.

Marcello_Keagan carefully opens up his own mind and makes a connection to MC's

<Marcello_Keagan> (extra willpower)

<Marcello_Keagan> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marcello_Keagan rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 1 8 5

MC_Farstrider turns around, sensing something is happening

<Marcello_Keagan> short visit..

<Marcello_Keagan> A portal opens

<Marcello_Keagan> At the other side of the portal you actually see the room where you left. I'm standing there..

<Marcello_Keagan> May I enter Miss Farstrider.

<MC_Farstrider> yes

<Marcello_Keagan> The image is not real though. It is his own mind you see.

Marcello_Keagan enters

<MC_Farstrider> you are standing at a gateway to what looks like a wilderness park

<MC_Farstrider> how did you want to proceed?

<Marcello_Keagan> I'd like to have a walk through the park and perhaps a chat with a few of it's inhabitants.

<MC_Farstrider> entering the gateway, the 1st person you meet is Jack.

<Marcello_Keagan> Ah, hello Jack.

<MC_Farstrider> he's about 7ft tall, built like a football player -- *very strong*

<MC_Farstrider> (Jack) Doc, (nods)

<Marcello_Keagan> Afraid I might misbehave Jack?

<MC_Farstrider> it is better to be safe than sorry... its my job to keep things safe

<MC_Farstrider> walking down the path, you see a number of teens and children playing

<MC_Farstrider> in various games and sports... the path leads to a building

<MC_Farstrider> there is a door

MC_Farstrider opens door, and enters

Marcello_Keagan follows MC

<MC_Farstrider> anyway, there you see what looks like a large one room school house

<MC_Farstrider> there are various teaching materials and books etc all neatly placed

<MC_Farstrider> in the front of the room at a large teacher's desk, sits Amber

Marcello_Keagan nods to the person at the teacher's desk

<Marcello_Keagan> Good day, Miss.

<Amber1> greetings, Doctor, I understand you think you can help Kat?

<Amber1> (You see a tall, slim, woman, with moon silver hair, and violet eyes,

<Marcello_Keagan> Yes...I might be able to help her. Even though I still think that they should all be one person. But that's against the wishes of the collective, and since she seems to manage herself pretty well and is no real danger to others, I leave it at that. And I just want to help her deal with her own....demons...

<Amber1> she is adult, but ageless, and seems to glow with an inner light. [think a Tolkein Elf])

<Amber1> ah... do you believe that alters are "demons"? We know there are some churches with that view.

<Marcello_Keagan> Nah, Miss. I'm not a religious man, just someone too fond of metaphors

<Amber1> while its possible for an invading spirit to occupy a person, most have better things to do with their time

<Amber1> one must realize that "demons" are really just another Jaggling or Gaffling that thinks its "demon"

<Amber1> I see... well, as you can see this the school

<Amber1> I teach our littles basic skills, although many seem to prefer the

<Amber1> "little speak" that use naturally.

Marcello_Keagan smiles

<Amber1> if there is anything I can do to help with Kat's problem, please let me know.

Amber1 smiles at Jack and returns to her work.

<Marcello_Keagan> I'd like some information about Ka t.. that would be very effective in treating her.

MC_Farstrider exits

Marcello_Keagan follows MC_Farstrider

<MC_Farstrider> following the path you see 2 roads split off from the main path

<MC_Farstrider> one road has a number of doorways, (yes they just float in the air)

<MC_Farstrider> with signs on the doors, with the names of the person whose room it is

Marcello_Keagan looks over his shoulder to the exit .. just to see how far he's away from it...

<MC_Farstrider> the other road also is laid out simmerly, but there is a fence along the road, and the road ends in a large children's playground, with the usual equipment, swings, and slides and a couple of sandboxes, jungle gyms (climbing things)

Marcello_Keagan smiles

<MC_Farstrider> the ground is padded for safety and there is a teen watching over the kids.

<MC_Farstrider> these are the rooms of the alter... and the children's playground

<MC_Farstrider> alters don';t just sit around waiting to come out

<MC_Farstrider> the littles go to school and middles have a few places for recreation

<MC_Farstrider> down the main path further there are various fields for games and the end of the path is a large lake, (which glows slightly with prime energy)

Marcello_Keagan looks at it all interested

<MC_Farstrider> there is a dock here and you can see a platform further out.

Marcello_Keagan mutters "First time for everything ... including walking around in the mind of a multiple." to himself.

MC_Farstrider sits and beckons to Keagan

<MC_Farstrider> there are benches here

Marcello_Keagan sits next to MC

(Jack wanders a away a bit)

<MC_Farstrider> ok -- how do we proceed?

<Marcello_Keagan> well I'd like to have a little chat with Kat .. perhaps I can change her mind about seeing barabbi everywhere.

Marcello_Keagan seems highly uncomfortable sitting with MC on a bench though..

MC_Farstrider asks Jack to bring Kat

<Nikki> whats the matter, Doc?

<Marcello_Keagan> I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable sitting on a bench here with you.

Nikki grins, (with me you have no problem), although we are out of the Broom Closet, (I'm not out of the closet))

Nikki prefers ladies

<Nikki> (your in a mind scape with them, Nikki is telling you your virtue is safe)

<Marcello_Keagan> It's not my virtue I'm uncomfortable about

<Nikki> to be clear, MC is straight, its just me that prefers the ladies

<Nikki> the right person has to be available of course, but yes

<Nikki> Nikki actually is a little thiner, but purposely was designed to be very close

<Marcello_Keagan> Hey .. I was talking to MC ... not to you ... go away...

Marcello_Keagan definitely feels irritated

Nikki is puzzled... I came because you seemed upset

<Nikki> I'm the social person

<Marcello_Keagan> Uncomfortable is something different than upset. Now I'm upset

<Nikki> as you wish...

<Marcello_Keagan> I didn't mean to yell at you .. I'm sorry..

<MC_Farstrider> I guess I got the signals wrong

MC_Farstrider frowns

<Marcello_Keagan> No you got them right.

MC_Farstrider looks confused

<Marcello_Keagan> I do indeed feel uncomfortable sitting on this bench with you ... but I'm not upset.

<Marcello_Keagan> And tell Nikki I'm sorry about yelling at her, I didn't mean it that way.

MC_Farstrider nods

<MC_Farstrider> if I remember correctly, Jack went to get Kat

<Marcello_Keagan> yes..

<Marcello_Keagan> before Jack returns with Kat ..... there's something I need to tell you.

Marcello_Keagan looks a bit amazed at his sudden bout of courage

MC_Farstrider looks at him

<Marcello_Keagan> I'm attracted to you. At first I thought it was just professional interest. But it isn't.

Marcello_Keagan turns red

MC_Farstrider is a little flustered...

MC_Farstrider tries to comfort Marcello

Marcello_Keagan freezes

<MC_Farstrider> whats wrong?

<Marcello_Keagan> A lot of things.

<MC_Farstrider> how so? is there something I can do to help you?

<Marcello_Keagan> Perhaps you should listen without judging.

MC_Farstrider listens

<Marcello_Keagan> You know you rescued me from the construct?

<MC_Farstrider> yes

<Marcello_Keagan> you remember how hesitant I was to go with you?

<MC_Farstrider> nod

<Marcello_Keagan> That was because I intended to become a Technocrat at that point. Of my own free will.

Marcello_Keagan looks at you for a reaction.

<MC_Farstrider> thats curious... but certainly if thats your feeling... I personally have little or no understanding of the Union, (and they little of my Otherworlds)

<Marcello_Keagan> Please let me continue

<Marcello_Keagan> There's more juicy details, I think.

<Marcello_Keagan> After you *rescued* me and I was brought aboard The Meteor, there was something else you might have noticed?

<Marcello_Keagan> How jealous I was of AC and Kevin, ehrm Agent Grey.

<MC_Farstrider> other than AC having the hots for Grey ....

<Marcello_Keagan> Yes, the foolish little girl.

<MC_Farstrider> I think she's going to get him to join the SoE's

<Marcello_Keagan> And he will sell you all out to the technocracy when the time is right. That was his whole plan.

<Marcello_Keagan> but for that I don't have any proof.

<Marcello_Keagan> I was jealous, because I too have the hots for Agent Grey.

<MC_Farstrider> I see

<Marcello_Keagan> Or should I say had ... after we rescued Dan and I've picked up some pieces of the ensuing conversation I've come to the conclusion that Grey is on board the Meteor with full knowledge of the Union. Perhaps not his superior, who may or may not be barabbi.

<Marcello_Keagan> There is a small reason why I became a shrink.

<MC_Farstrider> I think AC would not believe a word though

<MC_Farstrider> she's blinded by hormones

<MC_Farstrider> I was called to be a healer

<Marcello_Keagan> I wanted to help people. To make the world a better place for everyone to live in. Not according to my views, although I forget that from time to time. I think and probably believe, that people should be allowed to live as they please.

<MC_Farstrider> that is my feeling also

<Marcello_Keagan> Unless they are really dangerous for humanity.

<MC_Farstrider> Unicorn believes we all are the Children of Gaia

<Marcello_Keagan> Then they have to be changed to be somewhat more acceptable members of society ... I think that from that my pressuring you in considering becoming one person came too .... and I do think you are a wonderful person like you are.

<MC_Farstrider> the Union as I undertand it believes anyone that doesn't agree with the current Plan is an RD and is "bad for humanity"

MC_Farstrider doesn't understand why they should care if I fix a broken bone, or heal a wound

<Marcello_Keagan> But it took me a visit to a place where "nut cases" run around rampant to show me what it was again to be a Mage. It's not about how others see reality, or want to enforce reality, it's how you see reality.

<MC_Farstrider> how does that hurt Humanity as a whole?

<Marcello_Keagan> You're residence MC.

<MC_Farstrider> the ship is pretty much a scientific laboratory

<MC_Farstrider> truly foreign to me and mine

<Marcello_Keagan> oh yes, and I do definitely like to be in a scientific laboratory ... but science is not the answer to all things.

<Marcello_Keagan> well ... scientific laboratory is perhaps the wrong word .. I like to be in a place that pretends to be "scientific".

<MC_Farstrider> I can see how a Hermetic could become a techie ... after all the Order of Hermes is are very much into "scientific method" although its called something else

<Marcello_Keagan> Oh, but I'm not a techy ... I'm Bani Thig .... now more than ever.

<Marcello_Keagan> thanks to you, though you probably don't know why...

MC_Farstrider really doesn't understand the houses concepts

<Marcello_Keagan> well as I see it ... Bani Thig is the house where the Order dumps their rejects.

MC_Farstrider grins

<Marcello_Keagan> I was originally found and tutored by Bani Flambeau .. thats the combat section.

<Marcello_Keagan> And I do say that I toss a mean bolt of fire

MC_Farstrider thinks people should decide for themselves what they think

MC_Farstrider asks the spirits to do that on occasion

<Marcello_Keagan> and I know how to do other things too .. but there is also a side in me that says that science is that way of the future .. and I've ignored that side of me for far too long

<MC_Farstrider> I even build myself a wand of lightning bolts with the help of The Powers of Elemental Air

<Marcello_Keagan> Like this..

MC_Farstrider thinks science is a form of magic

Marcello_Keagan crackles some electricity around his hands

<Marcello_Keagan> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marcello_Keagan rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 7 6 7

<MC_Farstrider> you see I don't have training in forces so I ask for help there

<Marcello_Keagan> magic is a form of science, just science we can't understand. Thats why the Union hates mages so much ... they don't understand us. Thats why I'm back to normal.

<Marcello_Keagan> No ... not normal ... better than normal.

<Marcello_Keagan> and I think I love you...

Marcello_Keagan turns red

<Marcello_Keagan> !dice 6

<agww-dice> Marcello_Keagan rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 4 3 10 3 7

MC_Farstrider seems puzzled... I thought you perfered men? (me looks at herself... definitely female :))

MC_Farstrider thinks that terms are reverse able (magic is science is magic)

<Marcello_Keagan> Yes, I do prefer men ... I'm not even attracted to you sexually ......... I'd almost believe that someone is playing a prank on me.

<MC_Farstrider> the problem that the union has is with magic(k)

Marcello_Keagan seems actually angry at himself for being in love with a woman.

<MC_Farstrider> magick is not science its magick

<Marcello_Keagan> magick is science is magick

<Marcello_Keagan> the only difference between this and the other statement is that you have to make Consensus believe that too.

<MC_Farstrider> or vulgarly change it a little

Marcello_Keagan grins

<Marcello_Keagan> But MC, how would you like to get to know me a little bit better.

<MC_Farstrider> have you checked your mind pattern for something external manipulating it?

<MC_Farstrider> all the supernaturals have a way for changing someone's mind for them

<Marcello_Keagan> it's not that ..... I said I'd *almost believe* someone playing a prank on me

<Marcello_Keagan> But I also need to learn a little bit more control when doing this. I just keep blurting things I would normally never say.

<Marcello_Keagan> Or is that the property of this mind scape?

<MC_Farstrider> I am an open person ... I have been told that I wear my heart on sleeve

<MC_Farstrider> perhaps the nature of my minds is openness?

<Marcello_Keagan> I'm usually a bit more closed, more plotting, more trying to get other people to do what I want.

Marcello_Keagan looks like "How Could I have said that."

<MC_Farstrider> many people are ... (especially technocrats)

MC_Farstrider does sometimes others for help, but is always willing to help where needed

<Marcello_Keagan> I'm not telling them what to think .. i just like to get them to do what I want.. MC_Farstrider nods

Marcello_Keagan 's presence here shimmers a bit

<MC_Farstrider> time?

MC_Farstrider gets a message that Kat is ready to talk

Evan has assumed a new image

MC_Farstrider wonders who this is?

Evan is a short dashingly handsome young man.

Evan has short brown hair, striking green eyes, is well muscled

<Evan> Hello cutey.

MC_Farstrider must say she is puzzled by this new image

<MC_Farstrider> and you are??

<Evan> Oh don't worry about the faggot

<Evan> He's not here

<MC_Farstrider> are you telling me your an alter?

<Evan> In a way .. yes

<MC_Farstrider> how so?

<Evan> I'm the result of 10 years of suppressing his sexual orientation.

<MC_Farstrider> I must say I puzzled

<Evan> Not really an alter.. I was destroyed

<MC_Farstrider> alters can not be destroyed

<Evan> I just had to meet the woman who could make a faggot doubt his orientation.

<MC_Farstrider> they can forced into Slumber

<MC_Farstrider> but appropriate mind/spirit magick can reawaken them

Evan looks about half as old as Marcello (and he is in his 30s)

<Evan> yadda yadda yadda

<Evan> All I know is that I'm back

MC_Farstrider 's chronological age and physical age do not match either

MC_Farstrider appears to be 20something

<Evan> Well girl .. what do you say .. shall we play??

Evan winks

MC_Farstrider can't imagine what this fellow is thinking ;)

<Evan> Ah bugger .. he found a way out of my trap...

<MC_Farstrider> hello Marcello

<Marcello> ((Evan appeared because Marcello is straining to keep this connection open))

<Marcello> I'm s....

Marcello is gone

Marcello wakes up with sweat all over his body...

MC_Farstrider returns to the real world

MC_Farstrider stands and stretches

Marcello looks at you with a really red face ... he seems deadly afraid of you.

<Marcello> Did he do anything to you?

MC_Farstrider thanks the guardians of the watchtowers

<MC_Farstrider> and releases the circle, grounding th excess energy into the well

MC_Farstrider snuffs the candles and leaves the circle

<MC_Farstrider> pardon, Doc?

<Marcello> Did *he* do anything to you?

<MC_Farstrider> who, Evan? no we talked a little, he introduced himself..

<Marcello> Good

<MC_Farstrider> I think it was his intent to do more than talk, but we umm ran out of time

<Marcello> I thought he was gone forever.

<MC_Farstrider> I'm sorry you did not get a chance to talk to Kat

<Marcello> He was wrong..

MC_Farstrider seems confused.... why would an alter disappear? well other than going into Slumber

<Marcello> I thought I destroyed him ... removed him from my mind forever.

<MC_Farstrider> its quiet possible to have alters with differing orientations

<Marcello> This one isn't a real alter

<MC_Farstrider> my Nikki is a lesbian

<Marcello> It's me alright

<MC_Farstrider> he did not seem like a invading spirit

<Marcello> It must have been because I left my mind open..

<Marcello> I was him

<MC_Farstrider> do I understand that Evan represents your straight orientation?

<Marcello> Evan isn't straight ... I'm not straight ... Evan just pretended to be straight, but the only way he could get pleasure with a female......

<Marcello> He didn't touch you did he??

<MC_Farstrider> he seemed to think he was ... although I disturbed me to have him refer to you as a "faggot", I do not like slurs

<MC_Farstrider> nope, we did not get that far

Marcello sighs relieved

<Marcello> I'm so darn sorry for letting that side of me escape..

<Marcello> I don't know what I would have done if he'd raped you...

<Marcello> There

<Marcello> He can't get control over me here

<MC_Farstrider> are you apologising to a multiple for being of a split mind?

<Marcello> It's not a split mind

<Marcello> My middle name is Evan

<Marcello> I used it for several reasons

<MC_Farstrider> its easier to spell?

<Marcello> mainly not to get asked why an Irish fellow has an Italian first name

<Marcello> thats because my mother was Italian

<MC_Farstrider> (I don't remember, did we ever try talking in Irsh Gaelic to you?)

<Marcello> Okay .. I'll tell you what happened

MC_Farstrider listens

<Marcello> I was a typical American boy ... with the one exception ... I did not have a girlfriend before I went to University.

<Marcello> When people started talking behind my back, and sometimes right in my face that I might be a faggot .... I couldn't let them ... it would be bad for my family

<MC_Farstrider> I see

<Marcello> my family being catholic, politically well connected, socially well connected. My grandfather being the head of a "family"...

<Marcello> I could not be a faggot .. so Evan started dating .. some girlfriends ... no sex ... but still .. some girlfriends ... who also started talking....

<Marcello> thats when I ...... raped a girl from my class....

<Marcello> and the worst thing is .... I liked it...

<Marcello> and I couldn't let myself..

<MC_Farstrider> nod ... you do know that rape is not a sex crime, its a crime of control and violence

<Marcello> but the girl filed a report ... and I went to trial ... and was proved not guilty by my very clever lawyers. The girl just didn't show up as a witness .. and withdrew her statement when she was forced to show.

<Marcello> Anyhow ... I managed to control my urges for a very long time until I fell in love about 8 years ago

<Marcello> this time a man ... and ... no details required ... from that day Evan was permanently gone.

<Marcello> He wasn't nagging in the back of my head anymore..

<Marcello> Not how I imagined you getting to know me better...

MC_Farstrider thinks that the recent affair was probably one of availability/convenience .... (that is it came along at a time when you were searching for answers, and it presented itself as an answer)

<MC_Farstrider> have you ever thought you be bi?

<MC_Farstrider> err might be bi

<Marcello> Nah girl, I'm as straight as they come

<MC_Farstrider> now that sounds like Evan

Marcello moves a bit closer to you

<Marcello> I am Evan, girl ... the faggot is locked away now .. where he should be..

MC_Farstrider does a mind1 surface scan

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 4

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 8 3 10

<Marcello> Lots of internal turmoil..

<MC_Farstrider> 3 suxx

Marcello moves quite a bit closer to MC and grabs her arm and pulls her against him

<MC_Farstrider> Was it you that had the problem with the girl in school?

<Marcello> Oh .. the bitch nagged about me raping her....well she was asking for sex...

<MC_Farstrider> how so?

<Marcello> All I did was give it to her

<Marcello> She was my GF for about a month when we fucked eachother .. plain virgin boy virgin girl fucking ... mutual consent and stuff nothing the matter there ... I even liked it.

<Marcello> She did too

<MC_Farstrider> oh so it wasn't really a rape case

<Marcello> oh .. thats not why the bitch put me on trial

<Marcello> that came later..

<MC_Farstrider> I see, and you're liking it was a problem?

<Marcello> we had been to a club...

<Marcello> had a little bit to drink ... we went home and we watched some porn flick to get in the mood if you know what I mean...

MC_Farstrider would have used magick, but thats me

<Marcello> So .. those flicks teaches you things you could never imagine ... and I'd always was curious how it was that way .... I was just too darn shy to go and talk to the girls...

MC_Farstrider thinks that porn rather misses the point

<Marcello> But when I suggested some more daring positions she balked ... being a good catholic girl and such .. in her mind sex should be with the lights turned off under a blanket .. in out and your done...

<MC_Farstrider> its all mechanical -- the emotional content is what it should be about

<Marcello> So I used a little bit of mind magic to push her over the edge.....

<MC_Farstrider> I see

<Marcello> and fucked her in every hole she had ... with her consent of course ... she loved it...

<MC_Farstrider> I see

<Marcello> but I bet she spilled her guts to her parents because one week after that she'd file a complaint against me, ordered a restraining order and tried to destroy me.

<Marcello> wel l.. there are some advantages to being a Don grandson ... and his lawyers made sure that the whole case never came to trial.

<MC_Farstrider> I see

<Marcello> But the faggot was so scared of the betrayal of his girlfriend that he never wanted to have anything to do with women again..

<MC_Farstrider> so things went ok after that, until Marcello found a "friend"

<MC_Farstrider> he says you went away after that

<Marcello> darn right I did .... I'm no faggot .. just went down memory lane..

<MC_Farstrider> I fully understand

<MC_Farstrider> we are a we after all

<MC_Farstrider> yes, sometimes Nikki can be a problem

<Marcello> What you don't like screwing around with other girls?

<MC_Farstrider> it rather depends on the people involved

<MC_Farstrider> people are people afterall

<Marcello> and well ... I think you're right ... because I haven't been called by Marcello in ages..

<Marcello> Hey stop the pushing already .. why do you want me to admit this...

<Marcello> Hmm .. he wants me to say to you that I really liked having sex with woman, but that I also enjoy having sex with men ... yeah right .. I'm no faggot..

<MC_Farstrider> [checking... /me starts speaking in Irish Gaelic to see if there is recognition]

<Marcello> (Mind 2 procedure, what did you say?)

Marcello seems to react to whatever you say.

<MC_Farstrider> basically continued the discussion.. she just wanted to see if there was a response... he mentioned being Irish and she's very Irish)

<MC_Farstrider> its sometimes hard to tell, because Gaia gifted my with universal language

Marcello laughs

<MC_Farstrider> which was why I asked earlier if you had thought you might be Bi

<MC_Farstrider> there are people who like it both ways, you know?

<Marcello> Well I'm not..

<Marcello> I prefer a woman any day..

Marcello seems to shift in personality again, but this time he doesn't release your hand and stays standing close to you...

<Marcello> I think you're right .... he voluntarily released me..

<MC_Farstrider> I was just thinking of my friend who happens to be Cult of Ecstasy and the magick she taught me

<MC_Farstrider> ok -- who's whom?

Marcello is Marcello now

<MC_Farstrider> I see

<MC_Farstrider> and Evan said "I prefer a woman..."?

<Marcello> He released me because you are right ... I think I was too afraid to admit it....

<Marcello> yes, but he wanted to say ... I prefer a woman any day .... but a man isn't a bad substitute at all...

<Marcello> and I caught him on that.... and was a bit shocked

<Marcello> because he is what I was and am........

<MC_Farstrider> it rather depends on the people and circumstances

<MC_Farstrider> one has to remember that people are people first

Marcello seems to realize he stands too close to you and moves back a little bit, releasing your hand too..

Marcello blushes

MC_Farstrider was just thinking about some magicks I learned from a Cult of Ecstasy image.

<Marcello> hmm?

<Marcello> It must have something to do with sex?

<MC_Farstrider> usually, with them, althoug its more a case of *feeling* then mechanics

<Marcello> well if the mechanics are right ...... the *feelings* are usually not too shabby either...

<Marcello> but.......

<MC_Farstrider> that combined with the classic Goddess' Blessing

<MC_Farstrider> can be rather wonderful

Marcello turns red like a tomato

<Marcello> ehrm..

<Marcello> Kat ... yes ... Kat .. I wanted to help you with Kat's problems..

<Marcello> I feel up to it now .. and now I know where to look to find it ... so if you don't want to I can go in there on my own... I think I can also stay outside if I want to.

MC_Farstrider reaches into her cabinet (in the altar box), for a few vials of sparkling liquid

<Marcello> I have no need for tass ...

<Marcello> This is only mentally exhausting

<MC_Farstrider> they are talens not tass (well its tass, but awakened and charged)

<Marcello> awakened tass??

<MC_Farstrider> one shot fetishes (most of her potions are talens)

<Marcello> ahh

<MC_Farstrider> I'm obviously a spirit mage

<Marcello> I'm a Mind mage

<Marcello> who is of course willing to learn other tricks...

MC_Farstrider just learned shape shifting

<Marcello> hehe

<MC_Farstrider> watch

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 5

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 8 1 4 1

<MC_Farstrider> no sux

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 5

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 1 10 4 5 7

MC_Farstrider slowly morphs in to Jack and then back to MC

Marcello makes himself look like young Evan again

<MC_Farstrider> hmm better body is life3

<Marcello> you've got arete 5...whoot I'm jealous

<Marcello> nah .. of course not .. he'll only like like young Evan to the only other person in this room :)

<Marcello> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marcello rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 2 7 2

Marcello smiles

<Marcello> I can disguise myself..

MC_Farstrider concentrates on what she thinks will be the most help to Unicorn and Her children

<Marcello> but should I go help Kat?

<Marcello> you can do other things .. I could even accompany you..

<MC_Farstrider> as you know MC is a Faerie path Witch and tries to remember to follow the Rede

Marcello doesn't even know what the Rede is..

<MC_Farstrider> it ends "An it harm none, do what you will" It's the Wiccan Prime Directive

Marcello opens a new connection to the Mindscape he was before

<MC_Farstrider> oh well

Marcello also stays available in the "real" world

<Marcello> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marcello rolls the dice and gets the following results: 8 3 2 10

MC_Farstrider does her circle and calling and all.

<Marcello> in your mindscape a portal opens

Marcello doesn't intrude though

<MC_Farstrider> she has not prepared and her ring would prevent access

Marcello doesn't enter ... just open the connection..

MC_Farstrider finishes her prep

<MC_Farstrider> and does the meditation

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 6

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 1 9 2 8 8

MC_Farstrider awakens at the gateway

<MC_Farstrider> ok -- Marcello?

MC_Farstrider looks about

<Marcello> Can I come in now??

<MC_Farstrider> yes

Marcello enters MC's mind

<Marcello> you could also enter mine if you want..

<Marcello> As a sign of thrust I leave mine open .. and I've set it up so that when anyone enters I cannot lock them in.

<MC_Farstrider> hmm -- might that not cause Evan to evidence?

<Evan> Hello MC, Marcello and I settled things already .. speed of thought thing, you know

<MC_Farstrider> and ...?

<Evan> Well we're cool now

<MC_Farstrider> I see

<Marcello> We agreed that we were both wrong..

<Marcello> And more importantly .. that we are one and the same person.

<MC_Farstrider> I see

<MC_Farstrider> without meaning to cause difficulty, I don't think Grey is likely to return your attentions.

<Marcello> nah, I know that.

<MC_Farstrider> AC seems to have him over a barrel

<Marcello> He would only return my attentions if he'd want anything from me.

<Marcello> and the Captain ... well ... she should put him back on Earth where he belongs.

<Marcello> and never think of him again.

<MC_Farstrider> *sigh*

<MC_Farstrider> speaking of "mind control"

<MC_Farstrider> that is unlikely

<Marcello> the best mind control is when there isn't any.

<Marcello> there is a way though, but I wonder how I set it up.

<MC_Farstrider> with her "crush" on him, she's likely to do whatever he suggests

<Marcello> but where do you want to have me talk with Kat .. your place or mine?

<Marcello> though I must admit .. your place looks a lot better than mine

<MC_Farstrider> all the other agree with your world view, so to speak

<Marcello> The way I'm considering is breaking Grey's defenses and make some permanent alterations.

<Marcello> He's conditioned by the Union..

<MC_Farstrider> we figured that... the issue is what is conditioned to do

<Marcello> I think I may be able to break his conditioning...

<Marcello> I do believe that he genuinely likes AC.

<Marcello> I just believe that he will bring her into the technocracy...

<MC_Farstrider> she thinks he'll join the SoE Cybernauts

<Marcello> He probably would. I've sensed his interest in magical rituals to be more than just professional interest warrants.

<MC_Farstrider> I don't think she'd go for the VE's world view

<MC_Farstrider> and she is most definitely a space captain

<Marcello> though I doubt he will become a cybernaut

<MC_Farstrider> well the SoE's have almost as many sub-traditions as the order of Hermes

<Marcello> I think he may be a good candidate for the Bani Thig

<Marcello> But MC .. your mind or my mind..

<MC_Farstrider> well -- I guess we should get to Kats problem

<MC_Farstrider> I think she'd be most comfortable down by the lake

<Marcello> there is a bit of problem though, I think it has something to do with your general personality .. I cannot lie in there..'

<Marcello> and I'd probably tell her that if it were up to me I'd make her go away forever.

<Marcello> and thats not a good thing to do as a shrink....

<MC_Farstrider> that isn't particularly helpful tho

<MC_Farstrider> as we've said, alters cannot be destroyed

<MC_Farstrider> only put into the equivalent of Slumber

<Marcello> no, I know .. but they can be subsumed into the main persona ... and disappear forever.

<MC_Farstrider> well, given the right conditions it is possible to integrate an alter, but forced integrations never last, a new split always happens rebirthing the alter

<Marcello> I could make a lake here..

<MC_Farstrider> your own experiences should be telling you something different

<MC_Farstrider> you "destroyed" Evan, but he just went to sleep

<Marcello> yes .. but I know he's gone now

<Marcello> because he told me so...

<Marcello> I'm Marcello Evan Keagan

<Marcello> Come in .. and have a look for yourself.

<MC_Farstrider> your saying you integrated him?

<Marcello> He integrated himself..

MC_Farstrider follows

<Marcello> You step into a nice roomy office .. it has a view over New York, it's the typical psychiatrists office.

MC_Farstrider nods

MC_Farstrider needs to get Jack to bring Kat

<Marcello> This is it .. the bookcase over there contains my memories.

<MC_Farstrider> interesting way to do that

<MC_Farstrider> I like that

<MC_Farstrider> well, we've had some time to build a real internal world

<MC_Farstrider> also we have a large number of people to house and care fore

<Marcello> I've been a mage for over 20 years now .. I was 15 when I Awakened ... the clutter below is my youth, but afterward I started to catalogue everything neatly.

<MC_Farstrider> I see

<Marcello> Oh and please don't break the mirror ... it represents my self confidence.

Marcello points at the mirror on the door behind you (the one you just entered through .. or thought you entered through...)

<Marcello> want coffee?

MC_Farstrider understands the metaphor of walking through the looking glass

Jack would, please. MC is a tea person

<Marcello> Okay ... lets see ... one coffee and one tea

<Jack> thank you

Marcello walks over to the bookcase, and returns with 2 cups .. one coffee, the other tea

<MC_Farstrider> thank you

<MC_Farstrider> so, are we ready for Kat?

<Marcello> You're welcome .. always willing to share my memories

Jack drinks coffee

Jack sips tea

<Marcello> the tea is how my grandfather liked to drink his when he was at ease ... the coffee is the one I drank in a fancy uptown restaurant ... it was probably the best I've had

<Marcello> I'm ready for Kat

Jack smiles

<Jack> puts cups on desk

<Marcello> But please keep her from breaking the window

<Marcello> or the mirror

<Marcello> oh .. and please let her pick her seat

Marcello stands up..

Kat looks around ... how the ... huh?

Marcello has a couch, a comfy looking chair next to the couch, a desk chair, a hard looking wooden bench and 2 visitor chairs in front of his desk.

<Marcello> Hello Kat, I think you know why you have been invited?? Have a seat and we shall begin.

Kat sits on couch

<Marcello> You don't have to sit on the couch .. you can pick any chair you like.

Kat nods ... as MC said between the problems with "anger management" and seeing things that aren't there

<Kat> I keep seeing "EVIL" where it isn't, and I'm concerned I'm going to miss it when its really there.

<Marcello> Tell me about it.

<Kat> oh for the Gift of Detect Wyrm

<Kat> as you know, I had a really hard time in the "Cave"

<Kat> none of my rituals would work, and I could not connect to Unicorn for guidance

<Marcello> I don't know much more than that?

<Kat> I was getting more and more frustrated and upset

<Kat> I started seeing things that I know happened maybe 15+ years ago

<Marcello> And what happened 15 years ago?

<Kat> the EVIL of the cult ... we were rescued by a group of Garou, you known, and returned to the Children of Gaia for healing

<Kat> thats where we learned most of what we know about spirits

<Marcello> Kat, I want you to stay calm and tell me exactly what happened before that..

<Kat> and the cosmology of the Otherworlds

<Kat> before? the rescue?

<Marcello> yes

<Marcello> Lets start at the root ... what is your earliest memory?

<Kat> lying naked on something cold and hard (maybe 2-3 years old)

<Marcello> tell me how you felt?

<Kat> uncomfortable, scared

<Marcello> and what happened next..

<Kat> i see shapes moving but they are out of focus

<Marcello> go on..

<Kat> there is another child there near me ...

<Marcello> Who is it?

<Marcello> Do you remember who it is?

<Kat> don't know ... the shapes are still moving and chanting something that I don;t understand

<Marcello> Yes?

<Kat> one of the shapes comes closer -- a red robe ...

<Kat> its holding a knife of some kind

<Kat> its motions to someone who comes closer

<Kat> a young child, (maybe 7-9), they ogive the knife to the child

<Kat> and show it how to do what they want done

Kat cries ....

<Marcello> it's alright you are safe now ... nobody can hurt you here..

<Kat> the knife falls and the is blood everywhere, (the red robe catches most of it in a metal goblet

Kat sees them take a finger and put it in the blood, and draw pictures om my body and smear it on my face

<Marcello> How did you feel?

<Kat> icky -- sick

Marcello nods

<Marcello> continue

<Kat> eventually, the thing was over and they let me go to sleep

<Kat> (they didn't wash me or anything.... all sticky and icky)

<Kat> the next day they told me i did good

<Kat> I didn't do anything.... only was there ;(

<Kat> err :(

<Marcello> okay Kat lets take a small break for a moment .... is there anything you want to drink?

<Kat> water is fine, thank you

Marcello walks to the bookcase again and returns with a glass of water...

Marcello smiles

<Kat> thank you

<Marcello> This has some good memories attached to it..

<Marcello> it's the glass my mother brought me when I had a bad dream..

Kat nods

Kat drinks slowly

Kat sits

<Marcello> Okay Kat, lets try something different .. in the cave you grew really frustrated .. this was about a feeling .. what feeling caused the frustration?

<Kat> the inability to reach the spirits, to work magick, to reach my totem for guidance. basically a lack of control of my situation

<Kat> eventually, I gave up and left (returned to body)

<Kat> it was clearly hopeless

<Kat> Asmo thought I was there physically, I was there using the magick that MC showed me, so I would not get trapped

<Marcello> When did you first experience a total lack of control over your situation? Does this have to do with the memories you just told me?

<Kat> obviously -- at 3 years old, one normally doesn't have much control over oneself, but hopefully, better caregivers than the robed people

<Marcello> When did you feel a lack of control over your situation for the first time then?

<Kat> at about 8-9, more or less same setup, the figures were mostly in black robes with cowled hoods, except for the leader who was in a red robe

<Marcello> explain to me what happened then..

<Kat> the altar was marble, it had stains on it

<Kat> they were going to do a sacrifice, I was being taught about being a priestess, so I had to do the sacrifice....

<Kat> when it was time, they wanted me to do it, but I couldn't, the red robe said, it was either one end or the other of the knife.

<Kat> he put his hands over mine and pushed ---

<Kat> and there was blood everywhere

<Kat> sick

Kat feels ill

<Kat> as with the original one, they marked my face with the blood

Marcello sits next to Kat, but not touching..

<Kat> I'm sorry..... I really did not want to do that.

<Kat> I did not want to be EVIL

<Kat> then there was a big commotion....

<Kat> people screaming.... these "people" were like 9ft tall and furry

<Kat> they said they were taking us away from here

<Kat> I saw the red robe and felt such anger.... it kind of exploded out of me

<Kat> he was bleeding everywhere --- { wild magic life3 }

<Kat> then they took us away

<Kat> and I met "Dances with Humans" who was my teacher

<Kat> I was there (with the others of course)

<Marcello> did you lose control there?

<Kat> for a long time, and learned to talk with the Iwa and the language of the Garou

<Kat> its not possible.... In the Homeland of the Children of Gaia, Rage does not exist

<Kat> Unicorn believes in peace

<Kat> I think its was the loss of control that triggered the cycle, which

<Kat> got increasingly unbearable

<MC_Farstrider> yes, I see....

<MC_Farstrider> we learned the ways of CoG

<Kat> and Dances showed us how to do magics that work mostly like

<Kat> the Gifts of the Garou

<Kat> when we were older, we went to school, watched over by Kinfolk "foster parents"

<Kat> and to college and more

<Kat> Unicorn adopted us, and we learned about various

<Kat> spirit workings and how to talk with the spirits

<Kat> we made a pact with the CoG to provide for other rescues

<Kat> and the CoG kinfolk take care of day to day needs

Kat seems exhausted

<Marcello> Kat ... would you like a holiday from the rest??

Kat wonders what you mean?

<Marcello> I could make it so that you could be here for a while..

<Kat> stay in your office?

<Kat> I have a room in the village

<Marcello> yes .. but I can make it bigger

<Marcello> you can too

<Kat> I understand that I need a break, and Jack is covering work for me

<MC_Farstrider> hmms -- you do understand that your be "a temporary multiple" then, yes?

<Marcello> Yes, I understand

<Marcello> There are some house rules.

Kat asks how do I communicate with you when you're not here?

<MC_Farstrider> umm a telephone?

<MC_Farstrider> yes, that would work, a metaphysical telephone that would essentially be telepathy

Kat listens to rules

<Marcello> As long as MC is in the general vincinity .. i might be able to accommodate you talking to her

Kat nods

<Marcello> If you want to go anywhere you can ... only to place I have been through.

<Marcello> too even

<Marcello> You can walk out of the door .. or you can use the books to go through my memories

MC_Farstrider thinks a spirit/corr link would be a good idea

<MC_Farstrider> to allow for communication

<Marcello> I can facility a mind 4/corr 2 link ... so she could always return

MC_Farstrider follows

<Marcello> or a simpler mind3/corr 2 connection

<Marcello> oh .. and Kat .. I do not need protection ... it's supposed to be your holiday .. so please don't take over..

<Marcello> just one rule .. don't break or destroy anything in here..

Kat smiles slightly

<Kat> nods

<Marcello> Oh .. and there is no way of getting back after I've set this up

<Marcello> except of course when I re-open the gate is that clear?

MC_Farstrider suggests a view screen to observe/listen to the world

<Marcello> so communication is perfectly

<Marcello> sure

Marcello wonders where he has to put that ... ah ...yes ... lets see....

<Marcello> a computer appears on his desk

<MC_Farstrider> that'll work

<Marcello> so .. this one will show you what I see, feel, hear, smell ..... all senses..

<MC_Farstrider> right thats what we meant

<Marcello> but all you can do is watch

<Marcello> I might be able to manage to set this up for a day or 3 at the most

<MC_Farstrider> I see

Kat nods

<Marcello> Unless anyone knows how to make enchantments permanent

MC_Farstrider doesn't have enough mind skill

<MC_Farstrider> spirit workings by there nature are usually wither instant or permanent

<MC_Farstrider> (well until the spirit decides its been there enough, I guess)

<MC_Farstrider> OK

<Kat> OK

<Marcello> aha

<Marcello> okay .. then I'll do my best to make it lasts as long as possible .. if you want to talk to MC just ask me and I'll allow you control if it's not too much.

<Kat> I understand

<Jack> I'll watch over the village while you're gone

MC_Farstrider offers some quint to lower the cost

<Marcello> Hmm I think I can make this work for longer...

<Marcello> Just add extra sucesses .. it's not permanent and will disolve ... but I can make it lasts a pretty time...

MC_Farstrider offers some quint to lower the cost

<Marcello> So .. Kat .. how long do you think you want to take your holiday?

<Marcello> (It's already difficulty 8)

<Kat> how about we try for 3 days and see how it goes?

MC_Farstrider prepares ... and casts Spirit Kiss (Spirit3/Prime2 channel quintessence into a partner)

MC_Farstrider leans over to Marcello, and kisses him gently, (transferring 3 quint)

<MC_Farstrider> (another spell from my Cult of Extasy friends)

Marcello sets up the lasting mind scape for Kat to reside in for a while.

<Marcello> All done.

Marcello sighs

Kat thanks you for your help

Kat reflects ...

<Jack> OK == Marcello -- you take care

Marcello hopes Kat can behave :)

MC_Farstrider leaves the mindscape and returns

Marcello is slumped to the floor now

MC_Farstrider wakes and stretches

MC_Farstrider thanks the spirits and releases the circle

<MC_Farstrider> "Merry Met and Merry Part, and Merry Meet again"

MC_Farstrider closes the circle and exits

<MC_Farstrider> (life/spirit/mind/prime scan for status)

MC_Farstrider chants in iwapo' to ask the spirits what the condition of Marcello is?

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 5

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4 7 10 9 7

<MC_Farstrider> 6 suxx

Marcello is just exhausted ... no worries .. he'll recover

MC_Farstrider shows him up to the guest room

Marcello spend more than his normal allowance of quintessence and so he hurt himself a bit

<MC_Farstrider> thats fixable

MC_Farstrider chants to the spirits for help

MC_Farstrider casts Spirit Kiss

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 5

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 6 5 3 1

<MC_Farstrider> 2 suxx (2 quint for you

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 5

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 2 7 8 10

<Marcello> You mentioned we're on a node?

<MC_Farstrider> + 5 more (does that help)?

<MC_Farstrider> yes

<Marcello> Could I recharge here?

<MC_Farstrider> and I just put 7 quint to you

<Marcello> or actually ... could you charge me some more ... I kinda liked it..

<MC_Farstrider> I just channeled 7 quint to you

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 5

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 1 10 7 4 6

<MC_Farstrider> 3 more

Marcello kisses MC back
