(they've been trying to move a big boulder blocking off part of Tecpatl's Cradle)
[21:40] [Chromatic Court] Kalena: Chaos Eater. [21:40] [Chromatic Court] Kalena: Have you had any more thoughts on the boulder? [21:40] [Chromatic Court] You: I believe that the boulder will be moved, when it can be moved. [21:40] [Chromatic Court] You: Would it make things any easier if I claimed that I knew what was behind it? [21:41] [Chromatic Court] Iesid: Is it boring? Can it mold? [21:41] [Chromatic Court] Iesid: Don't tell me!!
[21:41] [Chromatic Court] Kalena: If you could describe it in detail. Otherwise, I may end up greased and shoved through a hole big enough for a fae. [21:42] [Chromatic Court] Kalena: And then I am trapped there until we figure out how to move it. [21:42] [Chromatic Court] You: I'm sorry, do you mean to say that Iesid... what, lubed you and somehow wedged you in under that thing? [21:42] [Chromatic Court] Iesid: N-no... but I was going to try..
[21:45] [Chromatic Court] Iesid: The Liberator, I shall not be so kind with! Are you a coconut or butter sort? [21:45] [Chromatic Court] Kalena: I do not know how to answer this question. [21:45] [Chromatic Court] Kalena: Or know if I want to answer this question. [21:45] [Chromatic Court] You: Don't say butter. It -will- itch. [21:46] [Chromatic Court] Kalena: Would that just make me seem seasoned to anything that could potentially want to eat me on the other side too?
[21:47] [Chromatic Court] You: There's an old children's tale from El'jazira. A boy wants to rescue his goat from beneath the winemonger's hut, so he gets his hands on a very large snakeskin, pulls it over him like one of those slutty Spirean dresses, and dives down into the crawlspace as hard as he can. [21:48] [Chromatic Court] You: I -love- those dresses. Anyway, he gets in and is able to push his goat out. The winemonger, hearing all the commotion, is waiting for him when it's time for him to try to squeeze out. He staves the boy's head in with an iron rod. [21:49] [Chromatic Court] Kalena: I...uhm... [21:49] [Chromatic Court] You: I didn't remember how it ended until I was already halfway through telling it. I guess it's not so encouraging. [21:51] [Chromatic Court] Kalena: I'm not very fond of iron rods in my head... no, and we did just look at shrunken heads. [21:51] [Chromatic Court] Iesid: Alright, so we need to get Kalena a helmet. Noted.
[21:53] [Chromatic Court] Kalena: To quote my husband, I am the smallest thing he knows outside of Doggles... and we must sacrifice for that which we love. I guess he is in agreement that I am going through this hole. [21:53] [Chromatic Court] You: This is such a stupid idea. [21:54] [Chromatic Court] Kalena: Does that mean you're not going to help, Chaos Eater? [21:55] [Chromatic Court] You: I do not force my will on dreamstuff. The oneiric sea more easily parts around someone who will meet its pace. [21:56] [Chromatic Court] You: And besides... I've, ah. Done some cooking for my wife. [21:56] [Chromatic Court] Kalena: Did it involve grease? [21:56] [Chromatic Court] You: That's between she and I.
Yesterday, Bamathis was namedropped like 100 times at the Spinesreach inner gate. Dick jokes about his spear, questions about the status and shape of his butt, the npc guards calling the girls perverts, it was a regular Spinesreach afternoon.
Cue me last night having a dream where, in text, the following happened:
[You sense Marcus Aurelius in the realm.] Yes, I am allied to a Roman Consul in this dream.
[Marcus Aurelias' voice booms over the continent, "WHICH OF YOU DARES TO SPEAK OF MY LORD'S NAME IN SUCH A MANNER?"] Bamathis has recruited said Roman Consul. Alongside Severn, I think they'd probably make a pretty good team.
[The shrieking glee of laughter something something Ayastia shouts back, "It was Kani! @Kanivara! She's right here!"] Even in my dreams @Ayastia is a loudmouth troublemaker.
[Kanivara has been ripped to shreds by the spear of Marcus Aurelius. You divine the location of this death as the Inner Gate of Spinesreach in Spinesreach.]
I'm sure there was more but that's all I remember.
