(08:11:14 PM) Auricle [~chatzilla@c-71-233-204-173.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(08:11:36 PM) dkap: Ha! I have in-person players!
(08:11:42 PM) dkap: Sam is here.
(08:11:48 PM) dkap: Amanda is expected.
(08:13:14 PM) Auricle: Congratulations then!
(08:13:24 PM) Auricle: Inpersonspeoples are exciting
(08:13:29 PM) Auricle: I have to make dinner
(08:13:52 PM) Cagliostro [~sgorton@pool-173-48-174-64.bstnma.fios.verizon.net] entered the room.
(08:14:02 PM) Cagliostro: ahoyhoy
(08:16:48 PM) dkap: MMmm ... food. We should order some, at some point, here.
(08:16:53 PM) Caelin: yo
(08:19:54 PM) dkap: Hey there! When is your vacation Caelin?
(08:20:58 PM) Auricle is now known as AuricleGettinFood
(08:21:00 PM) dkap: Or, I guess Caelin is never on vacation ...
(08:21:05 PM) dkap: But Mike?
(08:22:29 PM) Caelin: what?
(08:22:32 PM) Caelin: I'm here
(08:22:45 PM) Caelin: my vacation is now
(08:23:03 PM) Caelin: I am in Ma currently, just in Lowell with Jenn.
(08:23:22 PM) Cagliostro: apparently 'now' is the answer. Ah, Lowell.
(08:23:28 PM) Cagliostro: you feeling the Jack Keruoac vibe?
(08:24:16 PM) Caelin: *snort*
(08:25:25 PM) dkap: So ... being that I have live players again ... does your schedule allow for such?
(08:25:53 PM) Caelin: yes. not tonight. likely next tuesday, however.
(08:27:01 PM) Caelin: I was actually at the house for a few earlier today. had to grab a few things and run.
(08:27:55 PM) dkap: Cool!
(08:28:02 PM) dkap: Did you remember your alarm code?
(08:29:38 PM) Caelin: yep!
(08:29:44 PM) Caelin: wasn't an issue.
(08:30:06 PM) dkap: Good good.
(08:34:41 PM) AuricleGettinFood is now known as Auricle
(08:34:45 PM) dkap: Auricle!
(08:34:59 PM) Auricle: yikes!
(08:35:05 PM) dkap: Cool. So, did you want to work on your secondary, so you can be part of the "back in time" section?
(08:35:37 PM) Auricle: okay, what am I doing?
(08:37:06 PM) Caelin: who? me? my secondary?
(08:37:22 PM) dkap: Nope, Auricle's.
(08:37:29 PM) dkap: You have several deep, at the moment.
(08:37:48 PM) Caelin: gotcha. np.
(08:38:51 PM) Auricle: I have no idea what I'm doing, mind you.
(08:39:41 PM) Cagliostro: dkap is skipping back in time to try out some new players
(08:39:53 PM) Cagliostro: and this is back to a time when Auricle is busy wrestling with the new pattern
(08:40:10 PM) Cagliostro: so I think he's looking for a Darkoverean or Whitewolfean concept that could pal around with his fresh players
(08:40:31 PM) Cagliostro: So far, you have gone "Uhhh..." when faced with backup character questions, which I can appreciate. ;)
(08:40:58 PM) Caelin: hmm...my bad...
(08:41:02 PM) Cagliostro: (perhaps not wrestling with the new pattern, perhaps fleeing it and hanging out with Dworkin)
(08:41:17 PM) Auricle: I know that particular time period however
(08:41:19 PM) Auricle: okay
(08:41:20 PM) Cagliostro: Caelin, I don't know what he has planned for you, but I do know that Mousferatu is involved.
(08:42:59 PM) Auricle: Can I be a werewolf? I like werewolves.
(08:43:26 PM) dkap: Sure!
(08:43:31 PM) dkap: Any particular one?
(08:43:42 PM) Caelin: lol
(08:44:03 PM) Cagliostro: there are lots of werewolf flavors. ;)
(08:45:12 PM) Auricle: Okay. Hang on.
(08:45:15 PM) Caelin: how about a wash 'n' werewolf?
(08:45:25 PM) Auricle: White...wolf werewolf
(08:45:34 PM) ***Auricle baps Caelin on the head.
(08:45:51 PM) dkap: We have the washn'wear wolf already.
(08:45:53 PM) Cagliostro: old world of darkness or new world of darkness? :)
(08:45:56 PM) dkap: But he's been hung out to dry.
(08:46:00 PM) dkap: old.
(08:46:07 PM) Auricle: There's no new world of darkness.
(08:46:08 PM) dkap: Pre armageddon.
(08:46:10 PM) Auricle: imho
(08:46:12 PM) Cagliostro: fair answer.
(08:46:34 PM) Cagliostro: so are you breed-first, phase-first, or tribe-first?
(08:46:50 PM) Auricle: I'm a tribe first kinda player
(08:46:52 PM) Auricle: hang on
(08:46:53 PM) Cagliostro: or are you an outlier for one or more of the above?
(08:47:39 PM) dkap: Glasswalker?
(08:48:01 PM) Auricle: Nyah
(08:48:05 PM) Cagliostro: lupine bone gnawer - Scooby Doo. ;)
(08:48:08 PM) dkap: Red Talon?
(08:50:01 PM) dkap: Someone willing to abandon the apocalypse, when it is obviously lost.
(08:50:27 PM) Auricle: How bout Black Spiral? *grins*
(08:50:46 PM) Cagliostro: reasonable.
(08:50:54 PM) Cagliostro: Black Spiral Convert, or born into the game?
(08:51:25 PM) Cagliostro: (the Spiral is a shadow of the Logrus)
(08:51:47 PM) Auricle: Cool, I haven't done anything logrus.
(08:51:59 PM) Auricle: Spiral, born into.
(08:52:05 PM) Cagliostro: metis, or an outlier?
(08:52:36 PM) Auricle: what is outlier?
(08:53:09 PM) Auricle: and whoa, easier on the grilling, please, I'm starting to stress
(08:53:28 PM) ***Auricle has not had a good couple of weeks.
(08:54:23 PM) Auricle: I'm not sure what you mean by the term though.
(08:54:36 PM) Cagliostro: whoops
(08:54:43 PM) Cagliostro: I am just trying to help with brainstorming
(08:54:52 PM) Cagliostro: feel free to wander in whatever direction you want. Don't mind me. ;)
(08:55:21 PM) Auricle: gyah define outlier.
(08:55:22 PM) Cagliostro: okay, in white wolf's universe, werewolves come in three breeds: those born human, those born lupus, and those born of two werewolves who have the sex.
(08:55:49 PM) Cagliostro: the ones who are born of two werewolves are called 'metis'. They're born in Crinos, and tend to be deformed in some way.
(08:56:23 PM) Auricle: Okay, hang on. I have been running WoD since, like, when there was one book for Vampire.
(08:56:27 PM) Cagliostro: Most black spiral dancers are metis. Gaia garou consider it a large taboo. Black spirals have lots of pervy the sex.
(08:56:29 PM) Cagliostro: no problem.
(08:56:37 PM) Auricle: I just don't know what the word outlier means.
(08:56:47 PM) Cagliostro: I used to run a world of darkness game.
(08:56:55 PM) Cagliostro: oh, it means a more unusual choice, statistically.
(08:56:55 PM) dkap: Ahh ... on the far edges of the bell curve.
(08:57:26 PM) Auricle: Ahhh, okay, thank you.
(08:58:04 PM) Cagliostro: what I meant is, are you a metis as most black spiral dancers are, or something else?
(08:58:16 PM) Cagliostro: and the something else is statistically more unusual. But it doesn't matter.
(08:58:31 PM) Auricle: Nyah, metis, nice and easy there. BSD, Metis, and.....Auspice...what haven't I done.....
(08:58:58 PM) Cagliostro: by 'outlier', too, what I mean are people who are nonstandard. Like people born precisely between two signs, or hermaphrodites.
(09:01:35 PM) Cagliostro: not that there's anything wrong with that.
(09:01:35 PM) Cagliostro: :)
(09:01:44 PM) Auricle: Hmmm....Theurge, I've never done theurge, somehow.
(09:01:53 PM) Auricle: BSD metis theurge
(09:02:00 PM) Cagliostro: Theurge is a good choice. Black spirals deal with all kind of interesting spirits.
(09:02:16 PM) dkap: I like sysv better than BSD.
(09:02:32 PM) Cagliostro: BSD is SYSV after the spiral.
(09:02:41 PM) dkap: Ahh ... got it.
(09:03:54 PM) Auricle: All righty, next questions.
(09:05:35 PM) dkap: Sure.
(09:05:47 PM) Cagliostro: do you have any feel as to the Hive in which you grew up?
(09:06:14 PM) Cagliostro: there are a few famous ones, you could just define a few characteristics, or if it's not important we can go "meh" and keep going.
(09:06:57 PM) Auricle: meh not terribly important, I think.
(09:07:08 PM) Auricle: Ye Standard Hive
(09:07:22 PM) Cagliostro: more pollution, more radiation, or meh?
(09:07:31 PM) Auricle: More pollution
(09:07:37 PM) Auricle: Less radiation
(09:07:42 PM) Cagliostro: woo, pollution.
(09:07:57 PM) Cagliostro: any feel for a metis deformity? Something subtle, profound, creepy...
(09:08:04 PM) Cagliostro: natural or supernatural...
(09:08:12 PM) Cagliostro: or meh, fill it in later.
(09:08:26 PM) Cagliostro: I can try to find a list if that will help
(09:08:54 PM) Auricle: I have my Book of the Wym riiiight here.
(09:09:33 PM) Cagliostro: mmm... book of the wyrm.
(09:10:19 PM) dkap: Tasty wrm.
(09:11:00 PM) Cagliostro: them's good eatin'.
(09:11:52 PM) Caelin: lord...
(09:11:59 PM) dkap: Yes?
(09:13:43 PM) Caelin: I am become death. destroyer of wyrms.
(09:14:20 PM) Cagliostro: (again(
(09:14:23 PM) Auricle: ...bat wings?......
(09:14:28 PM) Cagliostro: I can imagine the business card.
(09:14:29 PM) Auricle: .....scales...?
(09:14:31 PM) Cagliostro: Ooh. Cool.
(09:14:36 PM) Cagliostro: Both are fine.
(09:14:42 PM) Cagliostro: Bat wings are functional or cute?
(09:14:45 PM) Auricle: .....both is overkill.
(09:14:53 PM) Cagliostro: overkill is fine. ;)
(09:15:01 PM) Cagliostro: but tacky.
(09:15:03 PM) Auricle: yeah
(09:15:11 PM) Auricle: Bat wings.
(09:15:38 PM) Auricle: Functional flying BSD of doom!
(09:15:45 PM) Cagliostro: woo!
(09:15:53 PM) Cagliostro: which means you can fly in the Umbra
(09:16:00 PM) Cagliostro: which opens up all kinds of interesting and wacky adventures.
(09:17:05 PM) Auricle: nod
(09:17:17 PM) dkap: Umbra rocks!
(09:17:37 PM) ***Cagliostro likes Corax.
(09:17:53 PM) Cagliostro: cool.
(09:18:44 PM) Cagliostro: any feeling for pack or totem, or did you ditch them both when you ditched the apocalypse? Or did they die on you?
(09:19:18 PM) Auricle: Coraxes are cool.
(09:24:22 PM) Auricle: Hmmm The Bat seems appropriate.
(09:24:39 PM) Cagliostro: it does.
(09:27:53 PM) dkap: The "bird of desire" just burst into das Fleurdermouse. (sp?)
(09:29:01 PM) Auricle: No pack I think.
(09:29:02 PM) Auricle: ditched them.
(09:29:02 PM) Cagliostro: good plan. style crimpers.
(09:29:02 PM) Auricle: yeah
(09:29:39 PM) Auricle: Yeah, they were in my way, didn't appreciate me
(09:29:49 PM) Cagliostro: typical. losers.
(09:30:26 PM) Cagliostro: so what is your opinion of the apocalypse? "Again?" "Not yet?" "My eyes, the goggles, they do nothing?"
(09:31:36 PM) Auricle: Woohoo that was fun, who's got the beer this time?
(09:32:04 PM) Cagliostro: heheh.
(09:32:11 PM) Cagliostro: so the apocalypse is a spectator sport?
(09:32:15 PM) Cagliostro: not a participatory one?
(09:33:04 PM) Auricle: ....more of a thing to do since it's there, but not a driving need?
(09:33:11 PM) Cagliostro: cool.
(09:33:17 PM) Auricle: we went out, had fun, could do it again.
(09:33:21 PM) Cagliostro: so you figure you didn't avoid the apocalypse, more survived it?
(09:33:48 PM) Auricle: yeah
(09:33:56 PM) Cagliostro: cool.
(09:35:06 PM) Cagliostro: I think we're at name and stuff.
(09:35:20 PM) ***Caelin reads back. "das fleurdemouse??"
(09:36:30 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(09:36:56 PM) Auricle: Runs-With-Scissors...nyah, too glasswalker.
(09:37:09 PM) ***Auricle grins.
(09:37:53 PM) Cagliostro: I-am-batman would be fun. Eater-of-Corax is a bit mouthy. ;)
(09:38:00 PM) Cagliostro: Flies-And-You-Don't would be fun.
(09:38:13 PM) Auricle: Spot. "Why are you called Spot?" Because of the bat wings you idiot.
(09:38:19 PM) Cagliostro: heheh.
(09:38:23 PM) Cagliostro: that's quite Theurgy.
(09:38:38 PM) Auricle: I think I'm called Spot.
(09:38:47 PM) Cagliostro: Sounds plausible to me.
(09:39:09 PM) Cagliostro: Any fetishes or common schticks, using the white wolf definition of fetish?
(09:40:14 PM) Auricle: No one is complete without an umbraphone.
(09:40:29 PM) dkap: Is that like a banana phone?
(09:40:45 PM) Cagliostro: huh. that's not one I've used. Cool.
(09:40:51 PM) Cagliostro: I like the trench coat that lets you create objects.
(09:41:01 PM) Cagliostro: and fang daggers, but those for mechanical reasons. ;)
(09:41:19 PM) Auricle: umbraphone -- cell phone that gets reception to and frm the umbra
(09:41:35 PM) dkap: Eewww ... weaver taint.
(09:42:35 PM) Auricle: oooh spirit net
(09:42:40 PM) Auricle: gotta have that.
(09:44:37 PM) Auricle: and a brush of the ancients.
(09:44:43 PM) Auricle: that's cool and theurgy
(09:44:59 PM) Auricle: afk
(09:45:41 PM) Cagliostro: k
(09:45:57 PM) Cagliostro: certainly there are a lot of items lying around in the apocalpyse. It's like a shopping spree. ;)
(09:49:32 PM) Caelin: or a yard sale... ;-)
(09:49:56 PM) Cagliostro: Crazy Everybody's going out of business sale. ;)
(09:51:11 PM) dkap: And dying in flames, though.
(09:51:19 PM) dkap: The Son of Gerard saw to that.
(09:51:32 PM) Cagliostro: who knew gerard was a bitch?
(09:51:42 PM) Caelin: lol
(09:51:56 PM) Cagliostro: that guy was pretty impressive.
(09:53:39 PM) Caelin: indeed.
(09:58:55 PM) Auricle left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(10:01:52 PM) Auricle [~chatzilla@c-71-233-204-173.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(10:02:00 PM) Cagliostro: re
(10:05:58 PM) Caelin: mer
(10:06:44 PM) Auricle: there may be real words there
(10:07:29 PM) Cagliostro: real wrods are overrated ;)
(10:07:49 PM) Auricle: spigthem won wunpnei twibn
(10:07:53 PM) Caelin: indeed
(10:07:58 PM) Cagliostro: spoken like a black spiral. ;)
(10:08:30 PM) Auricle: Ah. I forgot.
(10:08:41 PM) Auricle: spigthem won wunpnei twibn *snarl*
(10:09:55 PM) Cagliostro: ah, now you're speaking Crinos. ;)
(10:13:11 PM) dkap: Note to self "Wolfheart" is the pass-phrase for the blood-bank.
(10:29:34 PM) Caelin: heh.
(10:35:36 PM) Caelin: brb
(10:35:45 PM) Caelin left the room (quit: Quit: 1.6.2).
(10:37:13 PM) Caelin [~arkhon@pool-71-174-24-7.bstnma.east.verizon.net] entered the room.
(10:37:27 PM) Caelin: Bac
(10:37:30 PM) Caelin: +k
(11:37:24 PM) Cagliostro: okay, we're hanging things
(11:37:30 PM) Caelin: Alrighty
(11:37:32 PM) Cagliostro: and the players are out of House Mousferatu
(11:37:35 PM) Cagliostro left the room.
(11:37:51 PM) Caelin left the room.
(11:41:03 PM) Auricle left the room.
(11:43:55 PM) dkap: Notes: Delna is (reluctantly) in charge, they are in the castle, the Burgermeister is working on settling them in, the Ventru are working on the interface rule-set, there are those who know the local language, the cup of blood is keyed to "Drink" by Delna, more housing must be made/found/what have you. So far, no riots. Mistress Janice is staying with the Vamp folk, to probe the potentially higher mystic inertia.
(11:45:08 PM) dkap: The Count seems to have charmed Delna quite nicely, and she did not cause incident. Hamster Eric is watching out for them, with Andantric blade in hand.
(11:46:31 PM) dkap: Frodrich the Burgermeister, Helena of the girls (the daughter of the house that they appeared at) and the Castle Caretaker have all pretty much fallen in thrall to the vampires.
(11:46:43 PM) dkap: Each for their own reasons.
