Furrae Chronicles: Webs of Destiny (OOC) [M] {3} - Closed

[Tapewolf]

You seem to have forgotten that Keaton has kept the soul of a malicious Angel caged within her mace for four hundred years. If anything, Keaton would be laughing at the irony of it all and wondering what Jakob's so upset about.

Oh yes... of course...

[Tapewolf]

I'm going to wait to give Cog a look in before responding to Ignatz.

**EDIT**

I did scan to see if Cog gave his name, but I obviously missed it.  Jakob would probably have known it anyway, but it would have been very rude to do it that way.

Since Jakob has probably got the wrong end of the stick, he could well be sitting there with his eyes closed until Cog asks if he's okay or something.

**EDIT EDIT**

'Incubi and succubi are born with power. Power they haven't earned or gotten the right to.

Heh.  I like that.  From Stygian's profile:
"He is charged with many cases of murder, property destruction, theft and the utilization of forbidden magic, and is widely considered as one of the most wanted individuals in existence."

'And by their very nature they intrude upon others' minds. You know, to some, information is more valuable than life.  And without privacy, without security and hope, life may not be worth living.'

Even Beings can cast a mind-shield.

Rather reminiscent of the Kahjiit view of property. If the owner didn't take the time to guard it properly, then he's really just asking for someone to come along and steal it...

There's some truth to that.  But as the mindreading expo says, people's thoughts are usually far too boring to bother with and they'll generally shut then out as a matter of course.
If you've really got something to hide, then it's just a matter of casting a mind-shield.

**EDIT**

If anyone is curious, Jakob is reminiscing something that happened in chapters 25-27 of CJP:

**EDIT EDIT**
I'm not saying whether Jakob has left the bar yet, so if anyone wants to catch him before he goes, now's your chance.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Nice touch with the box number. ;-]

[Gabi]

I wonder why demons didn't claim it for themselves. Or perhaps they meant to, but cubi acted faster.

[Tapewolf]

She watched with a chocolate-hued iris as Jakob scrawled something down on a message for the gray wolf he was conversing with, unable to make out the majority of his writing due to her diminished eyesight, but she noticed something regarding "SAIA" emblazoned on the paper.

Just one slight quibble, it's actually a pre-printed business card, so he's not going to be writing on it himself, and it's going to be nice, clear text not scrawl.  It may very well have a big 'SAIA' logo printed across the top and bottom, though.

[Gareeku]

Um, just so you know, I'm pretty sure that Ignatz wasn't referring to Gareeku when he described someone as hypocritical. I'm pretty sure he was talking about Jakob. I don't know where you got that idea from.

[Tapewolf]

Um, just so you know, I'm pretty sure that Ignatz wasn't referring to Gareeku when he described someone as hypocritical.

Yeah, I do have an alternate theory of what he might have meant, although it took me a few days to develop and it still hasn't come to Jakob.  Jakob is going to instantly click with the idea that Gareeku is a hypocrite for... well, what we discussed a couple of days ago, since that's what he was thinking of at the time.

At some point he's likely to realise that Ignatz won't even know about that, but until then, ignorance is bliss.

[Gareeku]

No offense, but it comes across as pretty dense to me that it hasn't been figured out that Gareeku has no control of himself when he goes into "beserk" mode, if you will. I know Jakob's probably a bit annoyed, but still.

Oh, he knows alright, he's just not thinking clearly.

[Tapewolf]

A couple of observations regarding the current situation (hence the DP - sorry):

1. Jakob was using the term 'demon' generically, meaning 'not a Being'.  Naturally, the others are likely to interpret this in the more direct sense.

2. Stygian has already proven that he is a demon of some kind, the least of which was when he wanted to take the Demon's soul in the last battle.

3. As far as Keaton's concerned, he's probably lying when he says he doesn't lie.

[Gabi]

I'd say the third statement is Keaton's call.

[Tapewolf]

I'd say the third statement is Keaton's call.

Absolutely... I'm just looking at it from her character's PoV.  Whether she uses the idea it or not is entirely her decision, I'm just putting it on the table.

[James StarRunner]

Bleh... Net goes down for a night and just look at all the new interaction! Looks like the drinking challenge turned out interesting after all.

[Tapewolf]

Maybe I've missed something obvious again, or maybe it's going to be revealed later, but I'd be interested to know what it was that Keaton said which riled Stygian.  I have a few theories but all of them have holes.

[Gabi]

Contrary to Ignatz's belief, we're not all recluses.

[Paladin Sheppard]

Hey Guys I'm back! I read this first cause I like to catch up with the technical side of things....I must say I'm really interested to see what this drinking contest is like and what Eph did


Okies I'm caught up. Got a question for James though which room did you park her drunk behind?

[Gabi]

Welcome back, Pal!

We're both waiting for James, it seems. I'm glad it's not me people are waiting for.

[Paladin Sheppard]

Thankies Gabi!

I'm headed to bed atm and hopefuly James will have posted by the time I get up.

If not I'll pick a room at random and resume control of the (not so)little devil.

[Tapewolf]

I'm still stalled on James too, mind 

[Gabi]

I'm leaving it there until Pal tells me what my character can find. I don't want to mess up his plans or anything, but he did say Eph was in the room across room 11 and let out a loud 'eep'. It wouldn't make sense for Gabi not to react to it.

[Paladin Sheppard]

Feel free to barge in Gabi I don't mind

[Stygian]

Please don't mind if I do either. If you have any objections, notify me. But it seemed like a fun thing to do before I have Stygian fall into his room.

[Paladin Sheppard]

Heh I don't mind at all Stygian might be a good way to make an impression on Eph 

[Gabi]

I don't mind. My character, on the other hand...

[Stygian]

Heh I don't mind at all Stygian might be a good way to make an impression on Eph

[coughs] Well, that depends on what you might mean by impression...

[Stygian]

How I love being a scheming, sadistic, insidious prick...

Wait! I mean playing as one. Playing!

[Paladin Sheppard]

You do realise Eph is only dressed in a Over sized shirt right now right? 

I'm gonna wait till Tape has a chance to answer

[Stygian]

You do realise Eph is only dressed in a Over sized shirt right now right? 

You do realize Styg is damn good looking, right? The problem is he knows it. He's a vain prick too.

Anyway, Styg doesn't have a problem with that, what with him only wearing an open shirt under that coat. If you're looking for someone who'd mind such things much, you would be better of searching elsewhere. He's about as far from a prude as you can get.

Also, I can't really understand how people can find a light smell of cigarettes and whiskey that bad.
