QUOTES 8: THE QUOTING

Lavinya · December 2016

The roleplay aspect of the game isn't opt-in.

Not even getting enemied to Institute / Continuum / Hallifax for killing the institute guild champion ent in Ethereal Glomdoring because it was brought along on a raid. I found that whole resulting conversation to be really amusing (note: the Hallifax portion did get overturned).

hmmmm Huh, what is their ent?

Enyalida · December 2016

It's a giant gem, floaty.

Oh! The Omnihedeon right?
Can't believe I forgot that...

Rolsand said:
pointless roleplaying that I can't gain from

I cannot emphasise on how absolutely and utterly wrong this statement is.

You realise most avatars and some vernals have gained their positions from being great roleplayers and adding a huge amount of atmosphere to their respective order and org, right?

Both of those positions are huge gains for any character, if you think so little of roleplaying you're really playing the wrong game.

Breandryn · December 2016

I pretty much just RP these days, after over a decade of playing IRE for the PK and politics, and I don't think I've ever had as much fun as I'm having now. Roleplay can be incredibly engaging and entertaining.

Breandryn · December 2016

(Gaudiguch): Eltorinus says, "Greetings."

(Gaudiguch): Rolan says, "Greetings Eltorinus."

(Gaudiguch): Rhi says, "Greetings sir."

(Gaudiguch): Eltorinus says, "Sir? Wow hear that? I am respectable."

(Gaudiguch): Rhi says, "Erm, do you prefer Marquis?"

(Gaudiguch): Eltorinus says, "This calls for a drink.... and someone might want to check Rhi for a head injury."

(Gaudiguch): Steingrim says, "We're not that formal. Call him Marky."

(Gaudiguch): Rhi says, "I am erm just trying to be Rhi-spectful."

(Gaudiguch): Rhi says, "Oh gods oh gods, I am so sorry that was terrible."

(Gaudiguch): You say, "I think it was a Rhi-sonable joke."

(Gaudiguch): Tenzuka says, "I've been replaced in the pun department."

(Gaudiguch): Tenzuka says, "This sorrows me."

(Gaudiguch): Eltorinus says, "Very good Rhi... I like you. But you get none of my whiskey."

(Gaudiguch): Malarious says, "I dunno, we could score him a perfect ten-zuka."

(Gaudiguch): Tenzuka says, "Aaauuuuuhhh..."

(Gaudiguch): Tenzuka says, "It buuuurns."

(Gaudiguch): Malarious says, "There is salves for that."

(Gaudiguch): Kistan (from the Aetherways) says, "Leave her alone with Breandryn for ten minutes and she makes a monster."

*teaching the proteges*

Neos · December 2016

You guys and Hallifax would be the best of friends.

Breandryn · December 2016

Firebreather Tenzuka Ryseni, the Ashen Dreamer says, "I should be more choosy of my partners. But stupid little me, I'm not. Gives mother a terribly bad hair day."

You smile and say to Tenzuka, "I think that just means you have a big, open heart. I do not see that as a bad thing."

Eritheyl Ryseni says, "Let's not equate the heart with the legs."

------

Kelie arrives from the east.

You flash Kelie a joyous smile.

You say to Kelie, "Hello! All well? Anything you need?"

Ember Kelie says, "I need a million gold."

Showing that you understand, you nod your head slowly towards Kelie.

You give 10,000 gold sovereigns to Kelie.

Softly, you say to Kelie, "If you are clever, you can work hard and multiply that."

Ember Kelie says, "TIME TO GO GAMBLE."

Kelie leaves to the east.

Eritheyl Ryseni says, "...I like that one."

Breandryn · December 2016

I guess puns are a city thing now...

(Gaudiguch): Abelor (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "I. Hate. Cows."

(Gaudiguch): You say, "What's your beef with them?"

(Gaudiguch): Rolan says, "Ha!"

(Gaudiguch): Rhi (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Don't be so moo-dy."

(Gaudiguch): Abelor (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Because they milk their size for all its worth!"

(Gaudiguch): Xypher (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "We could milk this all day."

(Gaudiguch): You say, "Rhi is trying to steer the conversation towards something..."

(Gaudiguch): Danquik (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "This is udder silliness."

(Gaudiguch): Rolan says, "This awful business makes me want to run and hide."

(Gaudiguch): Rhi (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "I think it's a rhisonable course of conversation. Puns are good."

(Gaudiguch): Abelor (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Also, if you see a cow on the highway with her legs flailing, it wasn't me."

(Gaudiguch): You say, "Go on, Rolan, hoof it out of here."

(Gaudiguch): Kelie says, "I think these puns are a bunch of bull."

(Gaudiguch): Abelor (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "...you lot have issues."

(Gaudiguch): Talan says, "It was just getting quiet. Restarting this now would be a misteak."

(Gaudiguch): Danquik (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "At least it was not sheep, that would be baa-ad."

(Gaudiguch): Kelie says, "This whole thing is rather spotty."

(Gaudiguch): Talan says, "Let tipped cows flail."

Rhi · December 2016

Gaudiguch is just a long blooper reel

Breandryn · December 2016

Wandering around, trying to find a tulip to empower bards...

The Necropolis Library Atrium. (Capital City of the Mighty Province of Magnagora.)

Swirling eddies of chaotic, dancing ether glisten like stars from a shield shrine of Morgfyre nearby. A library catalogue rests here on a pedestal. Bathing the area in sanguine, disturbing light, a sinister chandelier of the Crimson Masque hangs from the ceiling. There are 2 chairs of carved marble here. Curving about in a half circle, a desk seemingly carved from a single boulder rests here. Smouldering across the canvas of the painting, a magnificent sunset over the industrial quarter irresistibly draws the eye. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the ground. You may use the LIBRARY commands here.

You see exits leading northeast, south, northwest, and in.

A thoughtful scholar gasps and looks around, eyes filling with tears.

A thoughtful scholar says, "So many books! Oh, I never imagined. I could lose myself here forever! Here, take this with my thanks."

The group of 10 scholars gathers, offering their thanks and giving you several small bags of gold before rushing off and disappearing amongst the bookshelves.

----

I guess you're welcome, Mag.

THEY WERE EMPOWERED TOO

@Breandryn

Fits right in with the previous conversation.

Breandryn · December 2016

More than you realize. I'm sure a god or two has gotten some giggles watching me ramble on to mobs as I derp things up and wonder what I did wrong. Poor Estarra has replaced my newbie 75 credit fire resist rune like...three times now because of repeated user error. >_<

Rhi · December 2016

This is Brea's theme

Lucky! I mean who would take up that option? Not me that is for sure!

Breandryn · December 2016

(Fire Hogwash): You say, "Did you know: If an astronaut dies in space, NASA puts their body in a bag and shakes it into dust."

(Fire Hogwash): Rolan says, "...wat?"

(Fire Hogwash): You say, "Dignified."

(Fire Hogwash): Rolan says, "Really?"

(Fire Hogwash): Xypher says, "...that's interesting."

(Fire Hogwash): You say, "Yep. They have a special arm outside the ship just for that."

(Fire Hogwash): Steingrim (from Limbo) says, "Then when they get it back you just add water and instant astronaut."

Xeii · December 2016

Aramel huffs audibly before stamping her foot and flounces about in an exaggerated manner.

Cassander arrives in a cone of sparkling light.

Aramel wildly plucks at a small bug.

You say, "Have you been to Astral, Mother?"

Aramel casually chews upon your shoulder.

You nod your head slowly in understanding.

That timing >:D

Breandryn · December 2016

Firebreather Tenzuka Ryseni, the Ashen Dreamer says, "That said mother, I'll pick my own partners. Not have them thrust upon me."

Zeddicus wiggles his hips suggestively towards Tenzuka.

Firebreather Tenzuka Ryseni, the Ashen Dreamer says, "...I could have rephrased that a lot better now that I think on it."

Tenzuka gives a pained sigh.

Spark Zeddicus says, "I'll let you do the thrusting."

Reylari · December 2016

Portia tells you, "Hello, I'm your aunt. Do you like cookies by chance?" -- I dunno you, lady. But I do like cookies.

Portia tells you, "Not you, sorry!" -- Oh... Okay...

Never had my dreams crushed so quickly.

sad fox.

Shedrin · December 2016

You reach out and touch a phylactery of prismatic crystal.
Sparks jump from a phylactery of prismatic crystal, sending a surge of energy coursing up your arm.

Only silence greets you.

Well, I figured it was gonna happen, but it's still sad. I really wasn't that great of an Order member, but I enjoyed it.
Keep on cracklin', and Shedrin will await for your return, in whatever variation you take.

Breandryn · December 2016

As you depart, you sense a sting, as the Fulcrux crumbles, each painting on the wall falling off one by one into a yawning void.

Trying to return:
As you enter a broken mirror your sense of self vanishes, a disturbingly light sensation overtaking your limbs as you're hurled into the vast unknown. Someone stands beside you unseen, and though they do not speak, you sense the joy and curiosity that your arrival brings. Inevitably, you find yourself elsewhere, pivoting forward through layers of jolting awareness that leave you feeling bereft - yearning for something you cannot voice.

Breandryn · December 2016

Fire Hogwash): Enadonella (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "I wanna sleep my way to the top too. God."

(Fire Hogwash): You say, "You can bang me ena."

(Fire Hogwash): You say, "Teach brea the ways of girlove."

(Fire Hogwash): Enadonella (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Breand...it's on."

(Fire Hogwash): You say, "We did get a bit...intense...subsuming that lovashi."

(Fire Hogwash): You say, "Rowr."

(Fire Hogwash): You say, "I got two more globs of flesh for you."

(Fire Hogwash): Enadonella (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "I can have a fling with you. But you can't tell anyone."

(Fire Hogwash): Enadonella (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Xypher might try something and we can't have a dead Cipher on our hands."

(Fire Hogwash): Steingrim (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Sure we can. You've never seen Weekend at Xypher's?"

(Fire Hogwash): Steingrim (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Hilarity ensues!"

(Fire Hogwash): You say, "I'll construct a little pulley system to move his arms and write lognotes using strings of yig."

(Fire Hogwash): Steingrim (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "I see you're beginning to understand fleshdancing."

Tylwyth · December 2016

What are shedrin and Breandryn's post after it about?

Ashtariel dying and Zvoltz leaving, most likely. Maybe not Ashtariel, but yeah Zvoltz left.

Enadonella · December 2016

(Gaudiguch): Talan says, "F is for the four bombards that it will take to win!"

(Gaudiguch): Talan says, "L is for the lots of power we will get."

(Gaudiguch): Talan says, "A is for the auronidion that must be traded."

(Gaudiguch): Talan says, "R is for I really really want to have this bubble."

(Gaudiguch): Talan says, "E is everybody who will benefit from building another

construct!"

(Gaudiguch): Talan says, "S is Send me a Tell or message if you need transport

to Dramube!"

I am absolutely in love with Gaudiguch and Talan is my new hero.

Talented
Admirable
Learned
Able
Nothing short of AMAZING!

(Yes it is 4am) BUT WE WON 2 BUBBLES!

Talan · December 2016

I had to change it up after the 20th iteration of "Flares! Flares! Flares! We're on Dramube if anyone else is listening!"

Also, I am sorry @Magnagora. I did not realize they had brought in re-inforcement ships. If it was just 1 ship vs. 1 ground force, there would have been ample time to arrive for a dogfight. Wasn't trying to just be totally greedy.

Danquik · December 2016

I batphoned myself into that Aetherflare. Woke up, casually grabbed my phone to check messages/facebook/ire app. Saw Talan built a construct. Jumped out of bed, logged on to help. Wife glared at me, but made bacon and eggs for breakfast, so win win!

Howdy, Stranger!
