(08:35:03 PM) Cagliostro: hello
(08:35:07 PM) dkap: Caelin! Cool.
(08:35:14 PM) Cagliostro: My internet has been lousy today, so I may be bouncing on and off
(08:35:16 PM) dkap: I though I didn't get you until intermission.
(08:35:23 PM) Cagliostro: you don't
(08:35:32 PM) Cagliostro: he signed on and said: "Call. Must go do first act."
(08:35:34 PM) dkap: Ahh ... what's this then?
(08:35:44 PM) dkap: Gotcha.
(08:35:48 PM) dkap: And no sign of Auricle?
(08:36:58 PM) Auricle [~chatzilla@c-71-192-210-192.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(08:37:09 PM) Auricle: hello!
(08:37:24 PM) Auricle: My apologies for lateness, my computer was somewhat in disarray
(08:37:42 PM) dkap: S'ok .. I just managed to get here, myself.
(08:37:51 PM) Cagliostro: not until you said "No sign of Auricle", ironically enough
(08:37:58 PM) dkap: Although my respect for the T bus system has gone up.
(08:38:19 PM) Auricle: hee
(08:38:48 PM) dkap: Bus broke down, and they took only about a half an hour to get us a new one, and we were 20 minutes out (so it took them only about 10 minutes on their end ...)
(08:40:06 PM) Auricle: nice
(08:43:12 PM) dkap: So ... I believe the question asked, at the end of last session was:
(08:43:16 PM) dkap: would Auricle prefer that Jean keep a jager if he's sticking around, or evacuate the Jager?
(08:44:14 PM) Auricle: I don't believe we'd figured out how to evacuate anyone back to Kolvir, but the Jean-with-D can keep the Jager.
(08:44:44 PM) dkap: Ahh ... right ... rolling back further ...
(08:45:21 PM) Cagliostro: Jean talked to Caelin's House Second, and got a transport mechanism that works on the other side
(08:45:24 PM) dkap: The Archivist gave Jean tokens, to get Natasha and Caelin out, and to get the rest of the folks out, for some value of the rest of the folks.
(08:45:25 PM) Cagliostro is now known as Jean
(08:46:15 PM) Jean: we can always find a way around power blocks. Remind me to tell you about the time Andrew, Dave and I destroyed the universe. Yay Melk the time lord for rolling it back.
(08:46:17 PM) dkap: And the question was, does the "rest of the folks" constitute only Chef D, or Chef D and the Jager, or are you going to up the party count by either going through, or sending others through,.
(08:46:43 PM) Jean: the transport mechanism, btw, is "Go a few shadows thataway"
(08:47:32 PM) dkap: And not one that Jean can take advantage of.
(08:48:26 PM) Auricle: I am unwilling to put myself in a Corwin Pattern trap
(08:48:37 PM) Auricle: So not going through.
(08:48:50 PM) dkap: (Good, I made the right call on that one ...)
(08:49:13 PM) ***Jean is planning on waiting in the trap
(08:49:20 PM) Jean: but the question is, Jean + Jager or just Jean?
(08:49:45 PM) Auricle: So the Jager can go with D, or the Jager can stay with Jean and leave D alone?
(08:49:50 PM) dkap: Or, are you going to send more Jager through, so that Chef D is not left bereft of Jager?
(08:51:50 PM) dkap: Or there could be another option, pulled out of a hat.
(08:52:03 PM) dkap: Or, distraction could happen until the trap is sprung (again?)
(08:52:06 PM) Auricle: Send another Jager through -- one to stay with D, one to stay with Jean, and one to go with Caelin and Natashya if they'd like.
(08:52:20 PM) dkap: One might wonder how many trapped rooms there are in that particular tower ...
(08:52:34 PM) Jean: Caelin and Natasha exuented pretty quickly
(08:52:34 PM) dkap: Caelin and Natasha, have already tokened out ...
(08:53:30 PM) Auricle: Oooh there we go. One Jager for Jean, one for D to escape, and one to wreck the Tower? No, wait, I don't want a war. Send through one more Jager.
(08:55:13 PM) dkap: Right, then. One more Jager goes through, one hand in front of him, one on his hat.
(08:55:24 PM) dkap: Lands with minimal muss and fuss.
(08:55:58 PM) dkap: There is some discussion between them, which gets to stay and which gets to go (presumably, or they might have been asking about Uncle Abdul, for all you know ...)
(08:59:05 PM) Auricle: "Wait."
(08:59:15 PM) Auricle: "How will D get back to *here*?"
(08:59:16 PM) dkap: Then they separate out, and one goes to stand by Chef D, and the other, by Jean.
(08:59:28 PM) Jean: "Good point."
(08:59:40 PM) dkap: In his current state, he cannot fit in a fish.
(08:59:48 PM) Jean: another saucer comes down, hovers, and trundles through the gate.
(08:59:55 PM) Jean: where presumably it also becomes a naked five year old.
(09:00:30 PM) Jean: actually, cancel that last.
(09:00:48 PM) dkap: Right ... waiting for correction.
(09:00:54 PM) Jean: stick with "Good question. Trump doesn't work, and we don't know the end point so he can't token to it."
(09:01:40 PM) Jean: "You could walk to him, but he will probably stay close to the bad place."
(09:01:43 PM) Auricle: "It would take a very long time to Pattern Lens everywhere to find him..."
(09:02:15 PM) Jean: "I think I see why Dworkin created Trump in the first place, especially if he was better at finding people."
(09:02:17 PM) Auricle: "Plus I'm not sure leaving here is a good idea right now."
(09:02:51 PM) Auricle: "And I've never perfected a tracking device."
(09:03:05 PM) Jean: "Generally, I'm a tracking device."
(09:03:42 PM) Auricle: but not useful in this instance.
(09:03:55 PM) Auricle: "But not useful in theis instance."
(09:04:19 PM) Auricle: "D? I don't suppose you have some sort of tracking pastry or something..."
(09:05:47 PM) dkap: Chef D: "Well ... once I had this cake that seemed to keep returning to the bakery, but I think that had to do with it eating the pets, and sometimes children, of the people who bought it."
(09:06:46 PM) ***Auricle frowns.
(09:06:52 PM) Auricle: "Not particularly useful.
(09:07:30 PM) dkap: Chef D: "Indeed, not. Unless you have a spare pet you want gotten rid of. I think I kept the recipe ..."
(09:08:16 PM) dkap: Chef D: "If that Olim character is trustworthy, couldn't you send him?"
(09:08:38 PM) Auricle: "We don't know where he is...wait, yes we do, but how would he find you?"
(09:09:37 PM) Auricle: "You are going somewhere random. It's not particularly easy to search through all of Shadow."
(09:09:52 PM) dkap: Chef D: "Just ... well ... the same way you had Jean find me, I would think?"
(09:10:06 PM) ***Auricle looks down at the pool.
(09:10:18 PM) dkap: Chef D: "I mean, before departure."
(09:10:58 PM) Auricle: "I'm not one hundred percent certain this experiment is repeatable. Oh. I could send the entire army through if I wanted -- the problem is getting everyone BACK here."
(09:11:41 PM) dkap: Chef D: "You could send your steed through. Wasn't that how Olim was traveling?"
(09:12:24 PM) Auricle: "The steed belongs to itself," she says
(09:13:07 PM) Jean: "We could have Chef D follow us back. he walked there himself."
(09:13:16 PM) Jean: "Follow his nose, perhaps."
(09:15:06 PM) Auricle: "Brilliant! And he was able to cross Shadow already, so...he should be able to get back."
(09:15:59 PM) dkap: Chef D: "I only followed a path I knew existed, or had to exist ... I don't know that I could find my own path ..."
(09:18:22 PM) dkap: Chef D: "And the only time I followed a path that I just presumed had to exist ... well ... I ended up here, and I don't consider that any kind of success."
(09:19:30 PM) Auricle: "Ah, but you'll have a Jager."
(09:19:48 PM) Auricle: "And the JAger will want to return to me."
(09:20:00 PM) Auricle: "And they are very good at making paths."
(09:20:06 PM) dkap: Chef D: "So I could end up in chains again, with a Jager in chains, next to me, to talk to? Well ... at least it wouldn't be as boring ..."
(09:23:14 PM) Auricle: "Argh."
(09:23:34 PM) Auricle: "It will shift him three shadows distant?
(09:24:53 PM) Jean: "Probably."
(09:25:47 PM) dkap: Jean, the archivist said "away from the center of what is real, and further down into the shoals, perhaps into shadow" If I recall correctly.
(09:28:52 PM) Jean: it's bibliomancy, hence: "Probably."
(09:32:41 PM) Auricle: "Probably...
(09:32:53 PM) ***Auricle sighs.
(09:33:13 PM) Auricle: "D, you can take your chances or stay in the trap."
(09:35:54 PM) dkap: Chef D: "I'd be happy to no longer be chained to this wall, I just don't know how I will get from wherever I end up to someplace useful."
(09:40:53 PM) Auricle: "All you need to do, D, is fix your thoughts on this place, here, and slowly imagine the landscape different until it matches here, as you walk."
(09:42:08 PM) dkap: Chef D: "I'll be happy to try. But if I don't show up, some time soon, please, send someone looking? I ... umm ... tend to get distracted sometimes."
(09:44:16 PM) Auricle: "I know the feeling." Auricle grins kindly. "Believe me. And I've come looking once, I'll come looking again. Here." She tosses through his bag. "Now you can probably build something that will bring you here, anyways."
(09:44:50 PM) dkap: Chef D: "Right ... "
(09:45:21 PM) dkap: Chef D turns to the Jager that is going with him: "Pick that up, and stay close, I don't want to lose you in this."
(09:45:53 PM) dkap: Chef D: "Jean, if you would let the Jager and I know how to begin this transporation out of here ..."
(09:52:21 PM) ***Jean passes along the directions
(09:52:41 PM) Jean: which I don't recall, but involve looking at and holding the token in some order
(09:52:46 PM) Jean: and Jean fails to look, just in case
(09:53:15 PM) dkap: Reading the attunement one first to attune everyone, and then, to be in contact, when all involved read the motion one.
(09:53:29 PM) dkap: The attunement one is the one with the squared-off end.
(09:55:46 PM) Jean left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(09:55:59 PM) dkap: The two of them attune, and then Ping timeout.
(09:56:03 PM) dkap: I mean, shadow transport.
(09:56:05 PM) dkap: *grin*
(09:56:08 PM) Auricle: laugh
(09:58:15 PM) Auricle: Does the pool track him still? Or go back to being a pool?
(09:59:28 PM) dkap: The pool is still looking into the room, at the (thankfully) empty spot on the wall, with a Jean on the side, with a Jager.
(10:03:54 PM) Auricle: Okay, well, I'll tell Jean I'm going to have to cut the connection, but he can of course still talk to me, so...not too bad.
(10:05:10 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(10:05:42 PM) dkap: How are you going to go about cutting the connection? And are you going to take steps to make sure it couldn't be traced back, like Chef D traced to where he ended up?
(10:05:43 PM) ***Auricle looks around.
(10:06:04 PM) Caelin: Here for about 25.
(10:06:09 PM) Auricle: YAY!
(10:06:17 PM) Auricle: Do Caelin stuff while I think on that.
(10:06:22 PM) Caelin: LOL
(10:06:29 PM) dkap: Scene desolves ...
(10:06:32 PM) Auricle: (saved by a Caelin!)
(10:06:44 PM) Caelin: (or is that cursed...?)
(10:06:59 PM) dkap: Caelin ... you wake up, face up, your head in Natasha's lap, a tree shading you.
(10:07:10 PM) dkap: The tree looks like someone took a giant q-tip, and jammed it into the ground, except the trunk is a mottled green, and the fuzzy tip is a bright pink.
(10:07:11 PM) Caelin: "What the hell happened?!"
(10:07:21 PM) dkap: Vaguely remanicent of cotton candy pink.
(10:07:39 PM) Caelin: "Tell me that isn't a direct result of the gate I opened."
(10:07:49 PM) Caelin: <---points at the tree.
(10:07:52 PM) dkap: Natasha: "You passed out, love, from the exertion, or, it was a bad side-effect of the bibliomancy?"
(10:08:03 PM) Caelin: "Bibliomancy?!"
(10:08:14 PM) Caelin: "I didn't cast any bibliomancy!!!"
(10:08:39 PM) dkap: Natasha: "We used a bibliomantic token to get away from the tower. Jean fished it in for us, from our House Second."
(10:08:58 PM) ***Caelin thinks a message in his head. "Increased subversion assures your annihilation, and don't think I can't do it."
(10:09:07 PM) dkap: Natasha gently feels the back of your head to see if you have blown it off, again. Nope, seems all intact.
(10:10:12 PM) Caelin: "Why on earth was a token used to get us from the tower? I had a gate up!"
(10:12:43 PM) Caelin: (ping?)
(10:13:00 PM) Cagliostro [~sgorton@c-66-30-5-155.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(10:13:10 PM) dkap: (I'm checking.)
(10:13:13 PM) Cagliostro is now known as Jean
(10:13:15 PM) Jean: feh.
(10:13:16 PM) Caelin: Got it.
(10:13:23 PM) Jean: I mean, at least I have power. But my Internet is hosed today.
(10:13:40 PM) dkap: Nope, the gate failed to reach beyond the promontory.
(10:13:45 PM) Caelin: (eeww...yeah, I've been reading about the wonderiforous weather)
(10:14:04 PM) dkap: North of here was ... hard hit.
(10:14:15 PM) dkap: Those of us in the civilized areas were mostly fine, though.
(10:14:52 PM) Caelin: (There's now a major storm in Chicago)
(10:14:57 PM) Auricle: yuck, power issues
(10:15:35 PM) Caelin: (We're fine here, but I hope the streets are relatively clear for the roadtrip back east)
(10:15:39 PM) dkap: But, yes, your gate couldn't reach off this promontory, and you fell over for trying.
(10:16:18 PM) Caelin: Ahh...in other words, once again I was not aware that I was trying to make a gate beyond the promontory.
(10:16:30 PM) ***Caelin checks his magic battery level.
(10:17:25 PM) dkap: Almost entirely depleted.
(10:17:52 PM) dkap: (Please plug in your Caelin, battery low.)
(10:17:53 PM) ***Caelin looks mildly alarmed.
(10:21:28 PM) Caelin: "My magic is almost completely depleted.
(10:21:29 PM) dkap: So, you are lying on the ground, looking up at this tree, your head being probed for holes by your intended ...
(10:22:08 PM) dkap: Having left behind a large naked man chained to a wall, being counciled by a naked 5-year-old Jean.
(10:22:16 PM) dkap: And perhaps there was a Jager involved as well.
(10:22:42 PM) Caelin: <--- o_O
(10:24:07 PM) Caelin: (15 minutes until call for the second half of the show, btw)
(10:24:08 PM) Auricle: (and perhaps somewhat grateful at that)
(10:24:27 PM) dkap: So, what is your next move?
(10:24:36 PM) Caelin: "Dear...where are we?"
(10:25:00 PM) Jean left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(10:25:36 PM) dkap: Natasha: "I don't know, sweetie, but, well ... it's not a tower-room in someplace saturated in Corwin Pattern, so ... it's got to be better, right?
(10:28:55 PM) dkap: Natasha: "Right? Better?"
(10:29:09 PM) Caelin: "yes. Better."
(10:29:26 PM) Caelin: "But now I have no desire to use any of my powers to get back to my hidey hole.
(10:30:47 PM) Caelin: "I'm afraid I'm either 6 pieces of fruit away from it, or somehow I'll be sabotaged, or I don't have the reserves anyway...."
(10:31:16 PM) Caelin: You remember the place?
(10:31:23 PM) Caelin: "Can you shadowwalk us there?"
(10:31:54 PM) dkap: All the way back to the council chambers at Thelbane? Or past them to the place we were curled up in Darkover?
(10:32:05 PM) Caelin: "The latter."
(10:32:12 PM) Caelin: "It's safer there."
(10:32:23 PM) Caelin: "And Ilk can find me there if he needs me."
(10:32:38 PM) Caelin: "THe Council Chambers at Thelbane are a less safe place."
(10:32:48 PM) Caelin: (And THAT is call)
(10:33:02 PM) dkap: Until later Caelin.
(10:33:16 PM) dkap: (The Grand Walk begins.
(10:34:14 PM) Auricle: well, that was cool
(10:34:21 PM) Auricle: we are still jean-less, again
(10:34:43 PM) dkap: Indeed. He seems to slide in and out ... but did you figure what you were going to do about the gate? Or consult?
(10:35:02 PM) Auricle: So, cutting the connection. IIRC, it is something the gargoyle never saw me do and neither of us have a clue what we did, right?
(10:35:36 PM) dkap: Correct.
(10:35:50 PM) Auricle: And it is drawing a lot of power.
(10:36:21 PM) Auricle: I summoned a Pattern Lens and that caused this in the first place, is the Pattern Lens still active?
(10:36:24 PM) Cagliostro [~sgorton@c-66-30-5-155.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(10:37:21 PM) dkap: Nope, the pattern lens somehow transformed into this.
(10:37:28 PM) Cagliostro: yeah... I'm going to need someone to mail around a log after this, I think.
(10:37:32 PM) Cagliostro is now known as Jean
(10:37:32 PM) dkap: Or was summoned ... incorrectly and became this.
(10:37:40 PM) Auricle: You mostly missed Caelin.
(10:37:49 PM) dkap: I've got most of the old logs up on site, and I'll put this one up right after game.
(10:38:02 PM) dkap: First URL in the topic line.
(10:38:44 PM) Auricle: Hmm, how close were we to the Pattern reflected forming in the pool? Could that have interfered with the Lens?
(10:40:06 PM) dkap: It could have ... but you have no direct idea how close it was, before it was overlain with this ... little experiment.
(10:41:29 PM) Auricle: okay, start drawing off the power leading to the portal to me instead, I can store it.
(10:41:54 PM) Auricle: and will away the portal itself, once I've taken up a portion of the Pattern energy.
(10:42:29 PM) Auricle: And try to ...scatter? the Pattern at the other side of the portal, so it goes every which way...
(10:42:52 PM) Auricle: making it theorectically harder to trace, although how anyone would fail to notice my pattern is really beyond me
(10:43:19 PM) Auricle: sort of collapse in into itself from this end, with a push to make it explode on the other side.
(10:45:15 PM) dkap: Jean, there is a slight pressure change on your side.
(10:46:05 PM) Auricle: (whoops. got caught up in dissmantling the pattern lens/portal, forgot about Jean there....ah, well, distracted Auricles aren't safe Auricles.)
(10:46:13 PM) dkap: Then, there is an explosion, you are blown through the wall, from the force of the pattern energy being told to disperse, and having it try to do so, through the Corwin pattern. There is no sign of the Jager left.
(10:46:30 PM) Auricle: BRB, got to get Greg, be about 10 minutes
(10:47:17 PM) dkap: Auricle, the reflecting pool seems to boil and steam for a few minutes. and then goes to glowing a calming sort of blue, like the pattern itself does.
(10:47:32 PM) dkap: Slowly the pool begins refilling.
(10:47:52 PM) dkap: And I can hang it here ... if such is a good place ...
(10:51:23 PM) Jean: fine by me either way
(10:51:38 PM) Jean: hm. I'll pick myself up.
(10:51:43 PM) Jean: do I recall having forgotten anything?
(10:54:21 PM) dkap: Nope. You don't recall such. But you are still naked.
(10:56:18 PM) Jean: hm.
(10:56:24 PM) Jean: so, what's on the other side of the wall?
(10:57:06 PM) dkap: You see a tower in the distance, up-hill from you, that has a hole in it's side.
(10:57:34 PM) dkap: You see a grassy rolling hill, that I would wax lyrical about it's defendablility, but ... it's Jean, and you wouldn't even notice.
(10:57:59 PM) Jean: am I at the top of the hill, in a castly thing?
(10:59:34 PM) Jean: or next to a hole in one?
(10:59:34 PM) dkap: No, you are downhill quite a bit, fetched up against a rock outcropping, that looks vaguely (and only in a way a chaosian would see it) like the bottom steps to Tir.
(10:59:39 PM) Auricle: bak
(10:59:43 PM) Jean: hm.
(10:59:50 PM) Jean: do I see a hole that I blew out of?
(10:59:58 PM) Jean: or do I figure some sort of way was involved?
(11:00:33 PM) dkap: Yep.
(11:00:49 PM) dkap: You see the vaguely Jean shaped hole.
(11:01:19 PM) Jean: ah. go back and peek into same.
(11:02:11 PM) dkap: As you head back up the slope, you find that it seems designed to be hard to climb. The grass-like growth is very slippery.
(11:02:23 PM) dkap: Nothing really to grasp to help you climb.
(11:02:50 PM) dkap: And the grass seems to have sharp edges at the same time, cutting your (unfortunately very exposed) skin.
(11:03:14 PM) Jean: hm. yowch.
(11:03:35 PM) Jean: do I have some sort of spell that would work to create a pathway? conjuration or destruction.
(11:03:36 PM) dkap: Exactly.
(11:03:51 PM) Jean: might as well figure out whether magic works here.
(11:03:53 PM) ***Auricle turns to the Jean with her and goes, "Oh, um...are you okay? I forgot you were over there too."
(11:03:54 PM) Jean: oh, wait.
(11:03:55 PM) Jean: flight spell.
(11:04:00 PM) dkap: Well, you could summon the Mikhail-crushing slabs, and then climb over them.
(11:04:12 PM) Jean: "I'm fine. Wait, there was just one me there, right?"
(11:04:30 PM) dkap: The flight spell doesn't seem to do anything.
(11:04:39 PM) Jean: gm: okay, try the slabs.
(11:04:44 PM) Auricle: "Two yous, I think."
(11:05:08 PM) Jean: (no, I cancelled that action because I'm allergic to bibliomancy.)
(11:05:16 PM) Jean: (sorry ;)
(11:05:25 PM) Auricle: (Ah, okay)
(11:05:28 PM) Auricle: One you.
(11:05:33 PM) Auricle: "One you."
(11:06:27 PM) Jean: "Then I'm fine."
(11:06:49 PM) Jean: "I have a view now, too. Some tirsy stairs, a hole shaped like me, and some very mean grass."
(11:07:03 PM) Jean: "Oh, and magic doesn't work here either. Definitely a sign of a paranoid Amberite."
(11:07:10 PM) Auricle: "Oh, good. Hmmm.Tir-sy stairs?"
(11:07:34 PM) Jean: "Well, they're stairs. And they're.... Tirsy."
(11:07:40 PM) ***Auricle is still watching the pool settle. Does it stay...blue?
(11:08:34 PM) ***Auricle says, very slowly, as if its terribly important, "We have no Tir."
(11:10:41 PM) dkap: Jean, (part of) you are (is?) still in Tir.
(11:11:01 PM) Jean: "I'm sure you'll bring it back somehow."
(11:11:12 PM) dkap: It's starting to fill, but the material that the pool is made of seems to be the glowing-bits.
(11:11:14 PM) Jean: "It's an... interesting place."
(11:11:51 PM) Jean: "I still can't figure out the parts on the other side, though."
(11:13:48 PM) ***Auricle reaches out to touch the glowing blue of the pol.
(11:14:12 PM) dkap: It doesn't feel like anything or nothing ... it ...just seems to glow.
(11:15:20 PM) Auricle: Run fingertips through it, to create trails, like with water.
(11:16:04 PM) dkap: Doesn't seem to move, or create trails.
(11:16:28 PM) dkap: Gargoyle: "You seem to be interacting with something that is not in my perception range. Please describe."
(11:16:50 PM) ***Auricle jerks, startled completely.
(11:17:01 PM) Auricle: "You can't sense it at all? How is that possible?"
(11:17:38 PM) Auricle: "Jean, you can see it, right?"
(11:17:49 PM) dkap: Jean, see what?
(11:18:03 PM) Jean: "I see a number of 'it's?"
(11:20:08 PM) Auricle: "The glow."
(11:20:35 PM) Jean: gm: no glow?
(11:20:37 PM) Auricle: "The pool is glowing like the Pattern."
(11:20:38 PM) dkap: No glow.
(11:20:45 PM) Jean: "No, I don't see any glow."
(11:21:35 PM) Auricle: "But...."
(11:21:47 PM) ***Auricle looks very disturbed.
(11:21:58 PM) Auricle: "How is that possible?"
(11:22:13 PM) Jean: "Different people perceive along different dimensions. And junk."
(11:22:16 PM) Auricle: "Gargoyle, what's in the pool?"
(11:22:55 PM) dkap: Gargoyle: "The pool is beginning to re-fill with water.
(11:23:34 PM) dkap: Gargoyle: "Source unknown. There doesn't seem to be any reason, or inflow location. Perhaps the pool is creating the water, and that is the "glow" you see?"
(11:23:40 PM) Auricle: Is the glow above the water? Do I see the water? Is it below the water?
(11:24:57 PM) dkap: The glow is coming out from the surfaces of the material holding the water (or would be holding the water, were it full) indescriminent of the existence of water around it.
(11:25:12 PM) Jean left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(11:26:41 PM) Auricle: so from the walls of the pool, basically.
(11:27:09 PM) dkap: And it's bottom surface, but not the water's surface.
(11:29:32 PM) Auricle: Hmmm.
(11:29:40 PM) dkap: Well ... we've lost Jean again ... and Caelin isn't due back. And it sounds like you want to contemplate ... shall we call it game?
(11:29:49 PM) Auricle: Yes, lets.
(11:29:57 PM) Auricle: I'll 'see' you next week.
(11:29:57 PM) dkap: Until next week, true believers.
(11:29:59 PM) dkap: *grin*
(11:30:06 PM) Auricle left the room (quit: Quit: Chatzilla 0.9.77 [SeaMonkey 1.0.1/2006040400]).
