(08:01:31 PM) Auricle: GReetings
(08:02:09 PM) dkap: Greetings, we might not have Sam (Jean/Cagliostro) much if at all this week.
(08:02:20 PM) Auricle: shame
(08:07:33 PM) Auricle: I actually found the house copy of the Amber rulebook a few days ago.
(08:09:33 PM) dkap: Most cool!
(08:09:47 PM) dkap: Does it resemble at all anything like what we've been using after all this time? *grin*
(08:10:21 PM) Auricle: I have no idea. I don't even know what Auricle's character sheet resembles after all this time.
(08:10:50 PM) dkap: *grin* And yet, we soldier on.
(08:10:55 PM) Auricle: Indeed.
(08:11:12 PM) Auricle: Frankly, I'm very happy with where Auricle is and what she's doing.
(08:13:59 PM) dkap: *grin* A good thing.
(08:15:00 PM) Auricle: Although somewhat sad that forevermore, Ilk and Auricle will creep each other out.
(08:16:58 PM) dkap: Not creep each other out, just be a warm presence to each other, wherever they may be.
(08:17:39 PM) Auricle: Well, yes.
(08:18:24 PM) Cagliostro [~Gringo_Lo@c-66-30-5-155.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(08:18:38 PM) Cagliostro: hi, 12 hour workday, turning into a pumpkin early
(08:18:45 PM) Cagliostro: next week will be worse, I fear
(08:18:46 PM) Cagliostro left the room (quit: Quit: Leaving).
(08:20:45 PM) Auricle: Well, that answers that.
(08:20:47 PM) Auricle: poof!
(08:21:28 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(08:21:40 PM) dkap: So, we are waiting on Caelin and Ilk.
(08:22:41 PM) Auricle: nodnod
(08:23:08 PM) Auricle: So, while we wait, is there anything Auricle/Gargoyle is SUPPOSED to know about being Patternmaster I should, perhaps, have myself knowledge of?
(08:24:37 PM) dkap: *grin* Probably. Have you found it out yet? Probably not. It _is_ Auricle after all.
(08:24:56 PM) Auricle: Yes, but she's not ENTIRELY hopeless, either.
(08:25:03 PM) dkap: You did things like spread religions, and Jager without thinking about it, and were unsurprised when you found them.
(08:25:11 PM) Auricle: True
(08:25:37 PM) Auricle: And things are showing up as expected -- like the city, and so forth.
(08:25:45 PM) dkap: You also did things like spread the tradition of being aware of strange wanderers, throughout shadow, which might have been a good or a bad thing.
(08:26:14 PM) Auricle: Which fits.
(08:27:13 PM) Auricle: All this, and no memory still. :)
(08:27:47 PM) dkap: Well ... it's not like you did it deliberately.
(08:28:15 PM) dkap: Oh, and you made Titania's access easier, simply by wanting to help Zack.
(08:28:43 PM) Auricle: That would make sense too, even though Auricle personally was not fond of Faerie.
(08:28:56 PM) Auricle: But Zack, most bets are off when it comes to Zack.
(08:29:30 PM) Auricle: (Hey, iirc, Auricle DID erase her own memory. First command in Gargoyle, purge of memory, ordered by Auricle).
(08:29:42 PM) dkap: Yep.
(08:30:16 PM) Auricle: Currently player theory=whatever I needed to hide from, I needed to hide so badly I redid myself shapeshifted and let the decided upon personality take over.
(08:30:45 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(08:30:51 PM) dkap: Sounds a lot like Cagliostro.
(08:30:56 PM) dkap: He did a similar thing.
(08:30:57 PM) Auricle: Which means, probably best to let that be.
(08:32:47 PM) Auricle: Much as the player would love to figure out parentage and stuff....
(08:32:52 PM) Auricle: :)
(08:32:52 PM) dkap: *grin*
(08:33:26 PM) dkap: It might have been the only way you could have transited from Tir Ghost to Real Individual.
(08:33:46 PM) Auricle: Possibility at well.
(08:33:52 PM) Auricle: Not something I'd considered.
(08:34:07 PM) Auricle: But would explain the affinity to the Tir Pattern.
(08:34:37 PM) dkap: *grin*
(08:35:12 PM) Auricle: Or could just be some long-lost Amberite.
(08:36:04 PM) dkap: Or any other of a number of different possibilities.
(08:36:35 PM) Auricle: shrug. Caine's kid, Dworkin's kid (wouldn't THAT be freaky), Tir Ghost made Flesh (which is a pretty nifty idea, although why a Tir Ghost would care), Part of the Pattern itself (aka the damaged part from the old pattern, which attempted to fix itself or something..)
(08:38:40 PM) Auricle: I'm just Auricle.
(08:38:41 PM) dkap: Or some combination of them, for, perhaps, were you Caine's kid, via a Tir Ghost ...
(08:39:30 PM) Auricle: Indeed.
(08:40:56 PM) Auricle: so many options, no real way to know.
(08:41:18 PM) Auricle: At least, under current conditions, with safety of the subject a priority, no way to easily determine.
(08:42:08 PM) dkap: Indeed. And, possibly, even under the best of circumstances, due to shape-shifting, and beast-mastery, and the gargoyle's being wiped as well, no actual way of finding out.
(08:43:16 PM) Auricle: Right
(08:44:13 PM) Auricle: So for the most part, Auricle doesn't think about it. It's a fact: I have no memory other than the three: Castle Amber, falling through the Pattern when a cloud passed over Tir, Being given a cloak and the Gargoyle. Everything else is backed up on Gargoyle.
(08:44:27 PM) Auricle: I had reasons. Therefore, I move onward.
(08:45:07 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(08:48:40 PM) Auricle: I'm gonna afk and shower, so as to stay up later if Caelin and Ilk appear.
(08:48:40 PM) Auricle: BBiaB
(08:49:11 PM) dkap: I think, they aren't showing up ... we can call it a game here ... if it changes, I'll email you?
(08:49:26 PM) Auricle: Fair
(08:49:36 PM) dkap has changed the topic to: "Echoing Silence, from a lack of players this week."
(08:49:45 PM) Auricle: See ya later, then!
(08:49:49 PM) dkap: Have a good evening!
(09:13:07 PM) Auricle left the room (quit: Quit: Chatzilla 0.9.77 [SeaMonkey 1.0.1/2006040400]).
(09:56:03 PM) Auricle [~chatzilla@dialup-4.157.86.98.Dial1.Boston1.Level3.net] entered the room.
(09:56:17 PM) Auricle: yup.
(09:56:21 PM) Auricle: echoing silence, all right.
(09:56:26 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(10:28:32 PM) Auricle left the room (quit: Quit: Chatzilla 0.9.77 [SeaMonkey 1.0.1/2006040400]).
(10:36:19 PM) arkhonII [~arkhon@pool-71-184-105-219.bstnma.fios.verizon.net] entered the room.
(10:36:33 PM) arkhonII: D'oh!
(10:36:59 PM) dkap: Yeah ... sorry.
(10:37:18 PM) dkap: I chatted with Auricle a while, but Sam couldn't make it, and Ilk didn't show up.
(10:37:27 PM) arkhonII: got it.
(10:37:58 PM) dkap: Matter of fact, I was just about to log off, and give up the ghost.
(10:38:06 PM) arkhonII: Aww. Okay. Byebye
(10:38:09 PM) arkhonII left the room.
