1. [PLEASED] the first session of In Which A Series of Unlikely Compatriots Are Roped Together In a Plan to Destroy The Known World has completed.

2. [AMUSED] and although a full title is impossible to accurately give, given the on-going nature of the game, i am pleased to announce that there were three separate cases of arson, one case of grand larceny and assault of an imperial officer, and three cases of manslaughter only barely averted by the deft quadrant machinations of sappho's yellowblood.

3. [AMUSED] oh. and one confirmed quadrant. although i remain uncertain if Artisann Loveless was in fact angling for that one, or any at all, given the fact her dice roll ended up only as a three out of twenty, even with modifiers.

4. [AMUSED] sappho. pheres. hinnom. perhaps you could add in your own commentary?

5. [CURIOUS] and does anyone else have suggestions on better locales for such events in the future? we took over my communal living stem's lobby for the purposes of this game and locked all of the doors, but the number of people demanding entry proved deleterious to experiencing ultimate immersion. or other means of ensuring that people do not enter to steal our food items?

6. [DISAPPROVING] and please, no recommendations of assault. i have no desire to get blood on the chips. that is disgusting.

oh,, boo,, yew've got pea-pole quaddng up al-reed-y and youre wasting that on pale??

now i'm glad i didn't play,, talk about boring,, |8I

| Oh | Let Me Assure You | I am Glad as Well | =:) |

| I mean | That'd be so many More Players to Moderate | ! |

you ppl and yrn nernd games.

whatevern happened to good old fashioned shoot-em-ups??

well, did you get caught?

| There was No One to Catch Us | As the Town was Aflame |

no one can arnrnest you if you don't get caught, nernd. >:}

1. [AMUSED] ahem, i must object here to note that this is not entirely accurate, as until recently, legislacerators especially were encouraged to formally pursue their prey to remarkable extents. historical cases have said neophytes had gone as far as to traverse the continental inlets to follow their prey, and in some cases, even entered the sea itself.

2. [AMUSED] so unfortunately, simply getting caught red-handed is not much of a deterrant in the case of actual crime. because although legislacerators are no longer tasked with such menial chores, policeradicators are still placed on the trail.

3. [AMUSED] please do not burn down a town, sipara. it will not have the results you desire.

Ah ~ But ~ My dearest and nearest jadeblood ~ I feel as if I simply must object here ~~

The question here is not if it will have the ending that she desires ~ ! ~ For can any of us ever truly achieve such a thing ~ ? ~ Trolls do not write our own fates ~ ! ~ The cruel quill of destiny is one wielded only by the souls of the muses ~ to scribble and cross out and highlight our deeds and our adventures in the annals of history ~ according to their own Cruel Whims ~ ! ~

No ~ The question is ~ Should she do it ~ ? ~

And the answer to that ~ of course ~ is ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

YES ~ ! ~ ! ~

If you do not pursue your dreams ~ my sweet Sipara ~ then I must ask you ~ who will ~ ? ~ Who will burn down the village ~ ? ~ Who will take the heir in their arms ~ and whisper gently ~ that her own cruel fate is an ending written by her own hand ~ that each lash of her lusus's tentacles will ultimately have been orchestrated by her own cruel desires ~ ? ~

No one ~ ! ~ You must be true to yourself at all times ~ ! ~ Because if you are not ~ No one will ~ You will live a life of falsehoods ~ Of lies ~ Abiding only by the thoughts of others ~ Bound by their beliefs ~ while your own suffer and fade ~ under the harsh sting of rejection ~

So go ~ Burn down the village ~ ! ~ ! ~ ! ~ ! ~

And when the policeradicators come for you ~ SMILE ~ Because you have lived your life ~ as you truly desired ~ And is that not the mark of a hero ~ ? ~ Is that not the mark of a QUEEN ~ ? ~

The Artisann was not ~ It was a tragic misroll of the dice ~ I was anticipating a Failure ~ but to stay in character ~ such a mis-step was necessary ~

I was not anticipating it would result in such beauteous results ~

1. [ENTERTAINED] are we counting the serendepitious discovery of your matesprit, followed shortly afterwards by his death, as beauteous?

2. [PRECISE, PERHAPS EXCESSIVELY SO] because if you will forgive me for my attention to detail, i would like to put forth the formal definition of beauteous is that it is a synonym of beautiful, which thus means that the definition of it is:

2: generally pleasing : excellent

3. [AMUSED] which does not seem as if it is an entirely accurate term to refer to that particular set of escapades.

Ah~ But au contraire ~ I must disagree ~ For you see ~ It is excellent and generally pleasing in the sense of narrative ingenuity ~

The Artisann never experienced true quadrantal love in all of her time serving as a performer ~~ She never knew the true bliss of recripocity ~~ And the first time she does ~ The first time she lays eyes on the sweet visage of serendipity ~ It is ripped away!

Not by her own folly ~ Not by her own hand ~ or the foul machinations of another ~ but the roll of a dice ~ a single slipped thread in the great tapestry of life ~ that no mortal could ever predict ~

It is absurd ~ It is amazing ~ She kissed him one round ~ And in the next ~ His head was removed ~ Could there have been a better ending? ~ NO ~ There could not have been ~

yOU'RE ALWAYS FUCKING WAXING ON ABOUT YOUR FONDNESS FOR THESE DAMN PILES OF BONES AND STONE. WHAT'S THE MEANING OF YOUR CANT, BROTHER? WHAT SORT OF AFFECTION ARE WE STATING HERE? BECAUSE JUST BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU, THERE'S PLENTY OF WAYS A FUCKER COULD TWIST THAt.

yOU ONE OF THOSE DORKY FUCKS THAT'S FOND OF 'EM IN THE AESTHETIC? CAN'T HAVE DIRT ON YOUR SOLES, NOR SHIT IN YOUR HIVE 'TIL IT'S BEEN CLEANED AND POLISHED? OR ARE YOU SOME DIRT-GRUBBING RUSTY, UP TO YOUR HORNS IN THE CLAY TO DIG OUT YOUR FINDs?

fORGIVE THIS, FORGIVE THAT. DON'T YOU EVER GET TIRED OF BEGGING FOR A FELLOW'S ACQUIESCE FOR YOUR MOST BASIC OF FLAWS, LITTLE RUST? SHIT SEEMS EXHAUSTINg.

lUCKY FOR YOU, THERE IS NO MISTAKE I WILL NOT FORGIVE FOR A FACE SO PITEOUS. YOU CAN CONSIDER THE SLATE OF YOUR INCOHERENCE WIPED BLANk.

oH, GOOD. WITH ALL YOUR FANCY CLOTHES, ALL YOUR FANCY WAYS, I WAS FIGURING YOU MIGHT BE ONE OF THOSE CHOOSY MOTHERFUCKERS, TOO DELICATE TO DIP A TOE IN THE SOIL THEY CAME FROM. THINK I TOLD YOU BEFORE, BACK WHEN WE FIRST STARTED GABBING, I PLAY THE RUIN GAME TOo.

aIN'T NOTHING LIKE SETTING FOOT IN A PLACE AND REALISING YOU'RE THE FIRST TO BREATHE THIS AIR IN A SEADWELLER'S CENTURy.

oH, LITTLE RUST, CAREFUL ABOUT THE VERBAGE YOU'RE SPILLING FROM YOUR WICKED-ASS MOUTH. A MOTHERFUCKER COULD READ THAT SORT OF THING AND GET ideas. ;o)

tHAT QUIRK WAS A GODDAMN MISTAKE. SHIT WAS A WICKED MIS-STEP. WHAT IS BINARY BUT A SLIGHT ON THE NAME OF OUR GOOD LANGUAGE? WHAT ARE NUMBERS BUT A YOKE PUT UPON US BY THE FUCKING SCIENSTIFFS? NEITHER HAS ANY PLACE IN OUR GODDAMN TEXTS. MUST'VE BEEN DRINKING SOPOR WHEN I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN IDEA WORTH TRYINg.

gLAD TO SEE WE AGREe.

fOUND A NEW RUIN A COUPLE OF NIGHTS AGO. OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. NO FUCKER HAS SET FOOD IN IT, FAR AS I CAN TELL: THE DOORS ARE UNBROKEN, THE WINDOWS ARE BARRED. NO OIL FROM A SINNER'S HAND. NO PRINTS FROM THEIR BOOTs.

i WAS FIGURING I'D DO A SOLO-RUN, SEE WHAT THERE IS WORTH TAKING, WHAT THERE IS THAT AIN'T WORTH saving. BUT IF YOU DIG RUINS, TOO, THEN I THINK YOU OUGHTA COME WITH. AIN'T MARRING THE GROUND IF IT'S TWO SETS OF BOOTS, IS It?

oR ONE. ONE AND A HALF. AIN'T GOING TO PRETEND I KNOW HOW YOU GO ABOUT RUIN-CRAWLINg.

aND I KNOW YOU'RE ALREADY SETTING UP SOME RAPID-FIRE DENIALS, BUT LET ME JUST ASK YOU THIS, BEFORE YOU START SPILLING YOUR NO'S: HOW FUCKING OFTEN DO YOU GET AN APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCe? :o)

fOR THIS SORT OF THING. NO INTENT TO OFFEND. I'M SURE YOU GET PLENTY FOR EVERY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCe.

mAYBE YOU OUGHT TO GET THAT RACK OF YOURS TRIMMED. SEEMS LIKE IT MIGHT BE PUTTING SOME PRESSURE ON YOUR THINKPAN, IF YOU CAN'T PUZZLE THIS OUt.

fOLKS HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE LAND-DWELLING RUINS. BUT EVERYONE STARTED OFF IN THE SEA, IN THE BEGINNING. THERE'S MORE ROOM IN THAT FUCKING OCEAN THAN IN ALL THE SPACE ABOVE IT, AND THEN DOUBLEd.

iT'S A SEADWELLER RUIN. DUNNO WHY IT'S ABOVE WATER. BUT LIYIJI SAID IT WAS EMPTY SPACE ONE NIGHT, AND OCCUPIED THE NEXT, AND IF ANYONE'S SET PALM ON THAT STONE IN THE LAST THOUSAND SWEEPS, THEN I WILL SLIT MY OWN THROAT FOR JAPERy.

ah?

ha.

iS THAT THE TOLL I'M PAYING FOR MY GENEROSITY? HAULING THE LITTLE FERAL CULLBAIT WITH US LIKE EXTRA BAGGAGE? OH, MY RUST BROTHER. IT'S LIKE YOU'VE NEVER EVEN PAID MIND TO THE SHIT YOUR RAIL TELLS YOu.

dON'T YOU KNOW I cull MISTAKEs?

bUT SAVE ME YOUR WOE. I SAID THERE IS NOTHING I WON'T FORGIVE ONLY A SCARCE MOMENT AGO, AND WHATEVER FILTH PEOPLE WANT TO PIN TO MY HEM, I AIN'T A GODDAMN LIAR. DIDN'T BREATHE A WORD ABOUT THE LITTLE THING BEING AT THE TABLE BEFORE. I CAN BITE MY TONGUe.

i HAVE NO SUIT TO PRESS WITH YOU, SAVE AN URGE FOR YOUR COMPANY. IF HAULING A FERAL AROUND LIKE THE MOST ILLEGAL OF PACIFICATION FABRICS IS WHAT BRINGS YOU PEACE, THEN SHOVE THAT LITTLE SHIT INTO YOUR BAG AND HAUL IT ON BOARD. LIYIJI WILL DEAl.

hE'S COMING UP IN TWO NIGHTS. MAKE SURE YOU'RE THERE, RUST. THIS RUIN IS WICKED AS FUCk.
