Notes[15:23] <Evil_EM> "Have you ever heard of Varia's father?" [15:23] <Ildarish> King Deltia right? [15:23] <Evil_EM> yar [15:24] <Ildarish> I don't think we couldn't have heard of him then. [15:24] <Evil_EM> anyone on this continent would have at least heard of him. [15:24] <Arinson> Gyre's brother? [15:24] <Evil_EM> heh [15:24] <Ildarish> "You mean the King Deltia. I've certainly heard about him." [15:24] <Arinson> Varia's last name is Slasher, that would be a plot twist [15:24] <Evil_EM> heh [15:24] <Ildarish> heh [15:25] <Epheron> The plot would have to be a pretzal or a contortionist. Or both. [15:25] <Ildarish> Then Varia is Sir Slasher's cousin? [15:25] <Ildarish> or something [15:25] <Arinson> now that you mention it, yeah [15:25] <Evil_EM> "His powers were tremendous before he died. It was said that in the place that he died the largest white magic spell ever observed was set off. However, he wasn't always that powerful." [15:25] <Evil_EM> "Strange circumstances increased his power greatly.... which also happened to Varia as well." [15:25] <Evil_EM> "Her intelligence... isn't normal. I'm not even sure if it is possible." [15:26] <Ildarish> "So you are saying that because it isn't normal things can go wrong?" [15:26] <Evil_EM> "The ingenuity.... the resourcefulness... something is weird." [15:26] <Evil_EM> "I'm saying I don't think she is human." [15:26] <Arinson> "It might be unstable in some way." [15:26] <Ildarish> "Hmm... that does put quite a twist on things." [15:27] <Evil_EM> "I know that she isn't... whatever she used to be 100%." [15:27] <Evil_EM> "She has replaced a large amount of her body with machines due to injuries suffered facing Boco." [15:27] <Evil_EM> "But... how do you operate on yourself?" [15:27] <Arinson> "The Zodiac demon?" [15:27] <Epheron> Ask an Igor. [15:27] <Evil_EM> heh [15:27] <Ildarish> "Boco did quite alot of harm during his reign." [15:28] <Evil_EM> "Yes, she fought that man in demon form and won. Not by a lot, she tricked him really...." [15:28] <Evil_EM> "Yes, he did. I think she can handle anything this vision can throw at her." [15:29] <Evil_EM> "She adapted in ways that shouldn't be and aren't possible. If anything, I think she is the hope in this world." [15:29] <Evil_EM> he pulls out a book and hands it to Ildarish [15:29] * Ildarish looks at it [15:29] <Arinson> "She can handle anything that's external. My concern is that she might have other weaknesses." [15:29] <Evil_EM> a book in some language you have NEVER heard of before. [15:29] <Ildarish> "What is this?" [15:30] <Evil_EM> "A book. Written in the language of the God of Time himself, a language called Taurian." [15:30] <Evil_EM> "I cannot read it myself." [15:30] <Ildarish> "A most unusual relic then." [15:30] <Evil_EM> "But it has pictures." [15:30] <Arinson> the only other person I know of who has his own language is Given [15:30] <Evil_EM> heh [15:30] <Ildarish> heh [15:31] <Evil_EM> he flips the book open (which is in perfect condition) to a page, and you see what appears to be a great war [15:31] * Ildarish looks at the picture closely [15:31] <Evil_EM> "I can pick out a word from this page. Zodiac. It is the same in Taurian as it is in every other language." [15:31] <Evil_EM> "I think this is a great war of Zodiacs versus some other culture. What that culture is, I have no clue, but...." [15:32] <Evil_EM> he flips another page, and you see another set of pictures. [15:32] <Evil_EM> this time though you can pick out what the creatures on half of the page are. [15:32] <Evil_EM> as you fought one in the Monster Arena. [15:32] <Ildarish> Kasandra? [15:32] <Evil_EM> yep. [15:32] <Ildarish> I'm a quick study [15:32] <Evil_EM> the other half of the page appear to be creatures of every race. [15:33] <Ildarish> "Those strange creatures. I've seen one before, but it was just at the arena." [15:33] <Evil_EM> he flips another page, and you see something on the page... something you can't really formulate in your mind. [15:33] <Evil_EM> it appears to be a gigantic creature [15:33] <Evil_EM> with a few other creatures around him. [15:33] <Evil_EM> fighting. [15:33] <Evil_EM> however, you do notice something. [15:33] <Evil_EM> Ildarish, you are in that picture. [15:34] * Ildarish squints at the picture [15:34] <Evil_EM> as is Epheron. [15:34] <Evil_EM> it is kinda hard to see anyone else, so it isn't known if other people are in it. [15:34] <Ildarish> saying that even though you know I'm switching to Falcon when the time comes >_> [15:34] <Evil_EM> Ildarish, you are in front of someone else. Appears to be a lich. [15:34] <Evil_EM> yep. [15:34] <Epheron> ... "How can that be...?" [15:35] <Ildarish> "So I'm in some sort of picture in a book written by a god. Never though that would happen." [15:35] <Evil_EM> "The date on the book reads the year 47,000 after ajora. This book was written in the far far future." [15:35] <Arinson> "This is the god of Time, it's no surprise." [15:35] <Evil_EM> "Yes, but the surprises don't stop there." [15:35] <Epheron> "I guess so..." [15:35] <Arinson> "Wait, you're in that book?" [15:35] <Evil_EM> he points to the person behind Ildarish [15:35] <Epheron> "Yes... Ild and I." [15:35] * Ildarish looks [15:36] <Evil_EM> "That would be the Paragon of Humans, Ajora." [15:36] <Evil_EM> he points behind Epheron [15:36] <Evil_EM> "It is hard to see due to dust, but.... *he wipes it away, and you can clearly see it now* ... that is Shali." [15:36] <Arinson> the plot thicks [15:36] <Evil_EM> he points to other people, naming nearly all of them. All of the non-Paragons are people from your current time. [15:36] <Epheron> Names we recognise? [15:37] <Evil_EM> yes. [15:37] <Evil_EM> People like Persona Flex. [15:37] <Evil_EM> he also points to a group of people in the back. [15:37] <Evil_EM> "This would be.. erhm... how to explain... lets just say that Sasuke is a great master of disguise and cloning I guess." [15:37] <Epheron> Hahah [15:37] <Ildarish> "I think I understand what you mean." [15:38] * Ildarish winks [15:38] <Evil_EM> basically nearly every single named person that you have met is in that picture somewhere. [15:38] <Epheron> Loman? [15:38] <Evil_EM> including Xan himself. [15:38] <Evil_EM> actually, that is the last person he reaches. [15:38] <Epheron> ... Damn. [15:38] <Evil_EM> "Now this person... is interesting. Have you met him before?" [15:38] <Epheron> I was there, right? [15:38] <Arinson> "It sounds like we're going to have one great big world reunion in the next few millenia." [15:38] <Ildarish> I don't recall having Ild meet Loman? [15:38] <Evil_EM> yes. [15:38] <Evil_EM> Ild and Eph met him. [15:39] <Ildarish> I must have forgotten then. [15:39] <Epheron> "Yeah... I've seen him" [15:39] <Evil_EM> and fought with him against invaders back at Homindale. [15:39] <Evil_EM> Xan was there even. :P [15:39] <Ildarish> heh [15:39] <Ildarish> That was a long time ago though. [15:39] <Ildarish> in the 3rd or 4th session of this wasn't it? [15:39] <Evil_EM> "This was the gardener that was at my castle awhile ago." [15:39] <Evil_EM> like the second or so. [15:39] <Evil_EM> "I did some research. Seems he is an important man." [15:40] <Ildarish> "He seemed a nice enough fellow." [15:40] <Evil_EM> the one named NPC that wasn't there was Varia. [15:40] <Arinson> she's probably the giant monster [15:40] <Evil_EM> he closes the book [15:40] <Evil_EM> "Something wrong happened. I believe this is from some alternate future." [15:41] <Evil_EM> "And the transcendence project is something to alter what happened in that future." [15:41] <Ildarish> "Alternate future? Yes, it seem I am just as far outside my depth as I thought I was." [15:41] <Ildarish> *seems [15:41] <Evil_EM> "So am I. Luckily I did some research on this stuff awhile ago, but I'm afraid I have told you all I know." [15:41] <Arinson> "Would that mean that the project is no longer necessary?" [15:42] <Ildarish> "A project to alter the future? That sounds risky depending on how it was done." [15:42] <Evil_EM> "I do not know. It could be for some other purpose entirely." [15:42] <Ildarish> "People alter the future everyday with what choices they make. But altering it in the present is just how things are." [15:43] <Ildarish> "But might this project be different than that somehow?" [15:44] <Evil_EM> "I do not know. Something with the power that exceeds even the God of Time himself according to Vankiel is capable of things you and I cannot even imagine." [15:44] * Ildarish OOC resists the urge to say "I can imagine quite a bit." [15:44] <Evil_EM> heh [15:44] <Arinson> "I don't know about that, I've read some books that you wouldn't believe." [15:44] <Arinson> "And I'm not talking about the fact that I can read with this thing on." [15:44] <Evil_EM> heh [15:45] <Evil_EM> at this point, there is a knock at the door. [15:45] <Evil_EM> (which Bob closed when he left) [15:45] <Ildarish> room service? [15:45] <Evil_EM> (Xan): "None of this knowledge should leave this room unless absolutely necessary, okay? Do not tell Varia of this even." |
