< Jacob> I'm still vibrating slightly.
< Jacob> Inside every twitchy alchemist is a barbarian hero waiting to get out.
< Jacob> That's not the point! The point is to crush you enemies, something their somethings in some way, and hear the lamentations of their women! Wondering about the point of it all isn't the point!
< Pufferfish> *my* bedroom doesn't involve magic! < felix> our scholars get it free over the short vacs < androidkiller> Our rents are for 10 weeks, and I got her on 1st October so that would make it 10th Dec or thereabouts < adam> you can get it for free in tit hall, but in trinity you have to pay for the furnishings and the bedder?
< Maz> Bryony will be drunkenly shooting cubs with rifles in a couple of hours, I think.
< net> That's the trouble with goths. The dancing isn't energetic enough. One Lupie and they bloat right up.
< Pufferfish> Hard research among the erect stacks of the Humacti library again? < net> (the students at the Dark college are frightfully excited about the unethical uses of Disintegrate. At least it'll keep them busy studying.)
< net> I didn't have it, and I was frail, but I may not have munched properly.
* ChessyPig considers a future-fantasy world where people have discovered that being in more dangerous places makes people learn academic skills faster and society is set up to capitalise on this... < adam> "miss, can I go to the toilet?" "yes, tommy, but for heaven's sake take a proper sword instead of that dagger, there's a new troll in there today" < Entimix> Why is there a dead norscan in the privy? < Pufferfish> it was exactly the right thing to do IC! < Jacob> I don't think it would work. If Snapdragon's theory that risk is proportional to reward is correct, then the fraction of students you'd lose by making things more dangerous would be such that the total quantity of learning generated would be the same regardless of danger. < Pufferfish> That assumes that risk is proportional to reward, which I believe the majority of players feel isn't/shouldn't be the case... < Jacob> And also completely pointless, when you could just keep them at home and make them play Russian roulette. < Pufferfish> We'd have to investigate the precise relationship. < net> So you send half the people to intensive schools with trolls, and half to dull schools.
< Requiem> My downtime report says little other than to ask me if I have Dismiss Leopard.
< Requiem> +++ OUT OF COFFEE ERROR +++ * Entimix reboots Requiem to restore his coffee
< Inquisitor> You want a lubricant which is guaranteed not to eat latex - I think you know where to look. < Revelation> blood! < Inquisitor> You'll pay over the odds, but it'd be a pain to find anywhere else. < net> You can't put a price on blood! < Jacob> I can. 8:50 a pint.
< Pufferfish> I think I could have some fun assimilating people though...
< Pufferfish> I nearly said she's just as human as you, which she isn't... < Garath> "Ha! I'll believe that when I see it!" < Pufferfish> [s] *demonstrates* < Garath> That line was *clearly* legally required
* Zebbie wonders if elberethea could do more distraction time by Flash spell or just flashing at the enemy < net> I doubt zombies care...
* Jacob visualises a line of junior white mages stretched out on a beach tanning themselves in silence, and then breaking into a chorus of frantic "Om"s when someone hisses "He's coming back! Look busy!".
< Pufferfish> Look at me, I'm a dirty biologist... * Entimix throws a bucket of soapy water at Pufferfish < Pufferfish> Oi! I *like* being dirty!
< Pufferfish> I still haven't finished the ref trim though, because I was making Something Else last night. < bryony> they do all have vicious hair < Pufferfish> Maz's hair isn't particularly vicious, it just eats things.
< Pufferfish> There is a section called "How to Bring Away the Head of the Child, when separated from the Body and left behind"
< Garath> Hmmm... < Pufferfish> No!
< Zebbie> usually an uffle is a look a bit like that of puss in boots in shrek when he holds his hat brim - big eyes looking upwards and cute pleading expression, soundtracked 'uf-fle!', but in this case more of a fluffle really
* Snapdragon ponders, Firefly DVD, or not eating for a week
< Pufferfish> It seems to be going places for both of me.
< Jacob> No, but being possessed by a trick-or-treating 9-year-old would be *embarrasing*. < Pufferfish> Being possessed by a blue and yellow demon was pretty embarrassing, I assure you :)
< Pufferfish> No such thing as a cute ref demon
< Pufferfish> Tormy and the Defiler's little brother Disconnector? < Snapdragon> no, little green telephone demons
< Pufferfish> Maz: they are performing lesbian acts, whether they themselves are or not... < Maz> Has Bryony applied for a job with them yet?
< Pufferfish> Pyromix: Change your nick, dammit! Especially when we're talking about elf porn!
< Pufferfish> "He had left a scrap of paper in the empty branch safe which read: "I have borrowed 7m from the Halifax"."
< Jacob> MagicalEric? does good cows if you ask him, I seem to recall.
< MagicalEric?> I've just checked what MC Hammer's trousers looked like and I've decided that Snap's trousers are not as good. < gonzo> Is it me or is "like MC Hammer's trousers only not so good" one of the most cutting sartorial insults known to man? < Monkey> Hammerpants are the standard by which all trousers should be judged. < MagicalEric?> Yep, they were the epitome of trousers.
* Requiem writes downtime including " ... wherever Sesqui's trousers end up"
< Jacob> I can just see Sarah wearing a blazer. < Requiem> Nothing but a blazer.
< Jacob> Also, Ariane doesn't have a surgically-attatched Ishmundi. < Entimix> No, she has an alchemist instead. < Pufferfish> Ariane and Francis are *not* surgically attached. < Requiem> At least there you have the ability to rectify this shocking lack.
< MagicalEric?> what you essentially want is MC Kender with hammerflares then. < MagicalEric?> perhaps we could mould them out of latex so they would be larp safe hammerpants with a knockdown effect. < Ehcapa> MC racial class? < MagicalEric?> level 8 skill = 'can't touch this' nobody can touch this < Ehcapa> Level 4 skill = "Can I kick it?" Yes you can. Magical triple. * Monkey invokes 30 seconds of hammertime. * Ehcapa casts Bow Selecta. < MagicalEric?> yep, level 7, 'stop, Hammertime!' mass halt, Hammertime. < Ehcapa> "Hammertime" can be as little as 3 minutes 23 seconds long.
< MagicalEric?> but 42 meg is a lot of trousers!
< ahdok> Maz, you are not making Lupie pregnant.
-!- ahdok is now known as fyodor < Entimix> +++ This is a security alert. We have an escaped character in the OC channel. I repeat, we have an escaped character in the OC channel. +++
< Jacob> I am emphatically *not* advocating running TT in the nude, on the grounds that at that point the fourth wall would be the least of the things you need to worry about breaking.
< Pufferfish> you're very strokable IC...
< Pufferfish> (I thought Sarah was the demon lover...)
< Winterlove> KT: Yes, come to he medium-roasted side....
< Jacob> That's what TT needs - a "Mute, 10' radius" spell... < Pufferfish> that would suck for mages. < Winterlove> ... pity Ariane can't cast that, though. < Jacob> Or "Purify (other)". < Pufferfish> Jacob: [s] *falls about laughing* No discernible effect.
* Lupie is now pondering how to glue a schoolgirl to her legs... < Pufferfish> Lupie: By the power of the element of water... < Inquisitor> Lupie: I'm getting extra cord if you'd rather tie her, instead. * Jacob wonders vaguely if he should call the CPS
< Ehcapa> My mouth isn't another person.
< Pufferfish> Two shillings for an apple? that's daylight robbery! < bryony> they're sesqui apples ;)
< spoddok> Cecil quite likes his captured maidens, but is somewhat less interested in the male vareity. < Pufferfish> spoddok: so why does he get on so well with Sarah then? < spoddok> Cecil likes his maidens in the same fashion as the Cat likes his hot girls in Red Dwarf. < spoddok> in that he's always going on about them, but he's somewhat in deep water if he actually corners one. < Pufferfish> aaaah, that's why he gets on so well with Sarah. No worries about having to live up to anything :D < Pufferfish> "Come back six years ago"
* Pufferfish returns, all sparkling clean < Pufferfish> ...it wasn't difficult. I decided not to wash my brain :P < Garath> Brains need to be clean just like anything else!
< Requiem> But their blades are girly-pink whereas ours are manly-pink < Pufferfish> Is this how Churchill makes its male boaties feel secure in their masculinity? < Requiem> Churchill's male boaties feel secure enough in their masculinity that they can wear whatever the hell colour they like
< Entimix> Anyone know anything about the Jesus admissions process? < Pufferfish> I believe many say that you have to accept Him as your lord and saviour ;)
< Garath> Jacob: she started ogling the carrot, it wasn't my fault! < Pufferfish> I have better things to ogle than carrots < Jacob> Nothing is more ogleworthy than a carrot!
< Jacob> Satisfaction is all very well, but when you miss a step in the night and break your head, you'll rue the day you went for mathmos rather than carrots.
< Pufferfish> ChessyPig: it is not helpful that their physreps *are* gendered.
< Pufferfish> (it's about obsessive-compulsive disorder, not blowing up bits of city, but...)

< KT> yeah, I'm fine - my blouse isn't >.<
< Lupie> Entimix: yes, because Sarah is a silkworm
< Jacob> I'm still wondering about getting a weapon to carry in my beard.
< Jacob> Zebbie: won't that make people think someone is raping a megaphone?
< Pufferfish> Zebbie: I wasn't intending to put banquet in the top of my breasts, though...
< androidkiller> It just sounds like it *should* be dodgy somehow
< Pufferfish> there is something strangely interesting about doing that to a corset.
< ahdok> I'll swap. That way I can go into Accessorize and not have EVERY PERSON IN THE SHOP STARE AT ME < Pufferfish> ahdok: sure, as long as you don't mind me, er, experimenting :P
< Zebbie> if there were a hypothetical Zebbie, who had eaten a hypothetical entire packet of smoky cheese that she had been planning to share with a hypothetical felix, but gave the hypothetical cat a very small amount of the cheese first, would it be fair to say that the Zebbie hadn't in fact committed the crime of Eating All The Cheese. Hypothetically.
< Pufferfish> argh, game loss on song called "stand inside your love"

< Pufferfish> but Edgar is a warlock. < Pufferfish> Sarah is a mage, dammit. < ahdok> I thought she was a fire witch. < Pufferfish> *thwackthwack* < Pufferfish> Edgar's ability to tease Sarah without getting burnt doesn't extend OC :P
< ChessyPig> Now we are both ill, on top of being lazy :) < Winterlove> being lazy must be feeling quite squashed. < bryony> and covered in dribbling bits of ill juice < Winterlove> bryony: thank you. < bryony> any time :)

< KT> Koryne - I see you've joined Requiem forums :) < KT> (no - really not RL Sesqui fangirls...)
< KT> right... I'm off to burn down Selwyn...
< ChessyPig> But losing the game and cat-girls were also a definite potion.
< Jacob> An elven warlock can be considered to be munched with regards to other elven warlocks, and with regards to hamsters, park wardens and blankets.
< adam> look, 'nexii' means two of them, 'nexiii' means three of them, 'nexmccvii' means one thousand, two hundred and seven of them ...
< Garuda> Do you have a licence for that colour combination? < ahdok> Yes, I paid 20xp for it
< Jacob> Is it possible to take over the world in a LARP-safe fashion? < Garuda> shiny metallic foam spikes will be perfectly larp safe, and probably do Quin by turning round near someone
< Pufferfish> gah, why do I get such perverse pleasure from hitting the "BURN" button in Nero?
* Pufferfish is making physreps < Apache> Of what? < Pufferfish> foip < androidkiller> Wow, a foip physrep! < Entimix> Finally, we have a physrep for foip! < androidkiller> Is it a stick with "foip" on a bit of paper at the end? < Entimix> androidkiller: foip
< Zebbie> "at kwik fit prices are down. 1000s of michelin, brand B and brand C tyres are down."
< ahdok> and, well, if you're looking for Omens, having a tutor called Dr. Preston Miracle is a pretty good one.
< Requiem> A rowing boat is a bit big to consider as a perturbation to a system consisting of a duck. < ahdok> I would suggest that duck pertubations consist usually of bobbing and flapping. < Requiem> Is a duck stable wrt small perturbations? * Requiem does a Taylor expansion < Garath> What *is* the Taylor expansion of a duck? < Requiem> (boat + duck(boat) + (family of ducks)(one rower)/2 + O(grandchildren))
< Garuda> Requiem: Walk. You have more legs than most, use them. < KT> more leg, surely?
* Winterlove has a vision of KT in a huge tub of rice, eating for dear life before it swallows her... < Garuda> REF! How much damage does an exploding KT do? < Winterlove> I suspect KT would be more like an ... unexploded bomb, however.
* Pufferfish high-fives Requiem < Winterlove> With Requiem they would be very high fives...
* Requiem loses the game on gallium < Pufferfish> Requiem: *why*? < Requiem> Er, cause one of the compounds I'm reading about is GaMe3?
< Requiem> Mediaeval women's underwear is not a topic I have researched.
< Pufferfish> ahdok: Most things are options. This is why I am better than a shop.
< ahdok> Shops don't hug you.
< Valtiel> I DID get superglue on my hand, but I'm NOT glued to anything.
< Aquarion> Garath, I am not qualified to speak on Pufferfish jugs, I don't have that supplement
< Aquarion> Sending >500KB attachments is forbidden by the Geneva Convention. Your country may be at risk if you fail to comply.
< Aquarion> And I think nuking the planet in order to kill a single undead Larper is pretty much to one side of the overkillometer.
< Jacob> Requiem: would you like to be engineered by a blond aeronautical? < Pufferfish> me! me! me! < Pufferfish> though I'd prefer a mathmo
* Jacob visualises a pyrokin army marching to battle, each clutching a sword in his right hand and a milkbottle in his left...
< ahdok> no, but it's standard to make stick figures female
< Pufferfish> My ideal date varies considerably depending on gender, but I suspect it is holding a folder of maths notes
< Jacob> Requiem: would you like to date a woman who was always followed around by big floating signs?
< Pufferfish> it's rather enjoyable even though I suspect I am missing quite a lot of the correct equipment...
< ChessyPig> Just don't let me near any dancing Japanese octopi.
< Jacob> Pufferfish: your hugs are the very pineapple of hugness.
< Pufferfish> I could probably make him a dress that would suit him
< Jacob> "Aargh, my legs are covered in spiders" is also a good answer, although less traditional. "Aargh, your legs are covered in spiders", on the other hand, may cause confusion.
< Pufferfish> Ralph is briding all afternoon.
< Pufferfish> a sword of marmite would be quite good. Then I would have lots of marmite. * Jacob contemplates setting monsters vulnerable only to marmite on a linear...
< Philip> ahdok: If you strike down throttleddroid, he will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine! < ahdok> good good. He's usually on my side.
< net> Pufferfish: So you'd describe yourself as a mean teetotaller, then?
< Zebbie> Winterlove: did you *mean* Big Friendly Giant there?
< bryony> You need only 1 4l milkbottle, some card, lots of yellow paint and some LOVE
< ahdok> this means your standard orange and chartreuse shirt is now something out of a fetish magazine.
< Jacob> Intriguing. Tell me, when did you last see an occultist? < ahdok> isn't bryony one?
< Jacob> What better kind of people to horribly murder are there than lovely fluffy cuddly people?
< Jacob> First and third men dance highland schottishe setting, producing a charming "Hindu god" effect, or possibly a nuclear explosion.
< Valtiel> I'm a CHEMIST.
< Valtiel> Nitrous furries? You mean they try to furpile but just explode instead?
< KT> "Bright glowy things in the sky, other than lightbulbs, are a very long way away"
< Jacob> Eureka! I have a legitimate justification for calling describing a figure in the dance I'm writing "Spawn of Coigach"!
* Charles dispels TheKremlin's beard. With scissors.
< Jacob> The beard is mightier than the pen, the sword and the dispel combined!
* felix wonders if a frail person with a weapon enchanted by red and light gets to call flaming pink nothings < ChessyPig> No, Pink damage is reserved for Candyfloss elementals.
< Zebbie> it's like oxfam goats, with satin < Jacob> Oxfam goats do *not* make corsets.
< Jacob> Dragon is often fatal in large doses. A rapid application of knight is usually the best remedy. * Pufferfish applies a knight to Jacob < Jacob> Call him off! Aaargh! Get away, you sorry excuse for a pangolin! Shoo!
< Jacob> If I provide the relevant marsupials, and a competent vet and handler, do you think the refs would let me learn a "wall of wallabies" spell?
< Requiem> Technically, that should be convolved with another one on the y axis for lovely 2D fourier fun and frolics.
< Pufferfish> I do not have time, energy, or a chicken.
< bryony> I sense my M key is experiencing technical difficulties.
< Zebbie> men are allowed to go, but they have to wear a bra too.
< ChessyPig> net: Get your tentacles out of my mind!
< Jacob> Edith: I don't know. I only sing about the damn stuff, I don't eat it.
< androidpartymix> Dammit, now I sound like I'm some strange type of Haribo.
< KorNorfolk?> oh dear, I appear to have collapsed her wave function into a pile of giggles.
< Aquarion> Although I suppose you could argue that a submachine gun is an advanced form of war-hammer.
< Pufferfish> Or in fact for any reason other than "I want a child" Not fair! That was accidental-typing-into-the-wrong-window and not even referring to myself!
< Pufferfish> Sarah thought it was pretty decent exposure.
< Jacob> Or at any rate, shave someone's head. If you prefer to prowl about Midsummer Common at night with a razor, some chloroform, a bottle of shampoo and a portable barber's chair then fair enough.
* Jacob discovers the banana.
< Jacob> Dating was so much easier in the days when all one needed was the address of a nearby dragon and a pointy stick.
< Pufferfish> Sorry, I was busy discovering I need three hands.
< Koryne> Love is very potent when it's properly distilled.
< ChessyPig> And I suspect Philip isn't with a new Kender either.
<Lupie> I AM NOT AN ARMCHAIR
* Pufferfish has three tentacles in her bathroom cupboard
< DuncanNeko?> Congratulations, your ebay feedback found one of Trillian's random sound-emoticons
< Pufferfish> This skirt seems to be designed for women whose legs are as high as my breasts.
< Jacob> Net: please tell me you don't visualise your love life as being presided over by Humphrey Lyttleton?
* Apache is a beatbox rocker, and you're dancing to his bear.
< Pufferfish> I have so many more things to do, like ArianeFamilyBriefs?. < Charles> Is that a lingerie?
< bryony> I am fairly squishy, and I vibrate.
<Aquarion>
< Pufferfish> I don't think Cecil would be very... gratifying.
< Pufferfish> wah, I have never regretted not being able to spell my name in protein sequence before :(
< Jacob> I said a *zuchetto*, you idiot! What good is a marrow to his eminence?
< Maz> I think it makes more sense if the "shared" binds to the "halibut" first.
< Jacob> But a squid is something you expect to be big and sinister. I think the wolf herring has more surprise value.
< notdok> well, it says you only move half as fast as your potential, even if you are virile.
< Pufferfish> Take that, evil clone! < Pufferfish> (yes, that does actually make sense in context :D)
< KT> I also had a dream about a part-beetle, part-toad, part-mouse creature having a religious experience, but hey
< adam> it's not as good as the yohoho! client, which automatically corrects "omfg" to "billions of blue bistering barnacles!"
< ahdok> can I bang kill azreal with a canoe from the elemental plane of fire if I use a goat to empower the rite?

< ChessyPig> Sword Porn: A whole new meaning to 'slash'.
< Pufferfish> I used to get accused of using my arse as an offensive weapon in basketball
< ahdok> I've been trained in the art of knifefighting, so... north is THAT WAY! < Monkey> It's more like "Ryu is on my left, Ken is on my right, so north must be straight ahead". < ahdok> that's okay, use assassins venom currently lets you follow tracks. < ahdok> incedentally, while I'm doing this, my music player is going "BANANA BANANA BANANA BANANA TERRACOTTA BANANA TERRACOTTA TERRACOTTA PIE"
< TheKremlin> as far as I'm concerned, the blue jeans weren't there IC, so I was going to preach at them for the sin of going about unclothed :D < Pufferfish> and, of course, I bet they had modern underwear on...
< net> There's an argument for the buttocks being extensors, I think. < net> But I'm not at all sure about that, having wriggled a bit.
< net> But cancer is easier to come by than particle accelerators. Particularly particle accelerators whose operators will let you in with a lemon. < Rakdos> um... what does a lemon have to do with anything? < net> Because becoming immortal requires a particle accelerator and a lemon. < Rakdos> why the lemon? < Jacob> Bribe for the ferryman. < net> Who knows? No-one's managed to reproduce the results. < Jacob> If you're buried with a coin over each eye, he takes you across the Styx, but if you're buried with a slice of lemon over each eye then he takes you to the Secret Bonus Level.
< Jacob> I'm *never* me, and haven't been since I was about 12.
< lmm> so it would in theory be possible to have an effect like "mass white double kender"?
< Jacob> Aquarion: think how cool sentient laundry would be. Surely your brain is but a small price to pay?
< Jacob_II> Exposing our staff to temperatures above 340 degrees celcius will invalidate their warranty

< Pufferfish> Practise makes dead monsters.
< BB|away> Surely corsetry /is/ a branch of structural engineering?
< Bluebottle> My character's plot is a fair amount more interesting than documenting scripting languages. Although, in one sense I suppose it could be similar... except that our scripting language at work can't destroy the real world, just bring down game servers. :)
< net> It will produce an Angst Donkey. With its power, I will rule the world.

<Bluebottle> "I see. So, is it true that you've been accepting brown envelopes full of hugs in exchange for... I believe you called it 'flange'?"
< Bluebottle> I think the plot's been kittenish this year. It sits outside your door and mews piteously until you let it in. At which point it starts climbing all over the furniture.
< Pufferfish> "How do you get babies in downtime?" "Well, when a mummy alchemist and a daddy alchemist love each other very much..." "...you get Ed Heaney?"
< Lupie> The market does not sell lemurs.
< Jacob> Lupie: not openly, but if you go up to the bike man and ask to see "Mr Tsiranana" he'll take you down the stairs labelled "toilets" and into a store-room where they sell all sorts of things, among them lemurs.
< Jacob> But you have to be wearing a tulip in your hair.
< Lupie> Jacob: Most excellent! I'll have a new bicycle pump and a pet lemur by Tuesday.
< Jacob> If your tulip is yellow and you tell him that "Mr Rochester sent me" then you'll get a 15% discount on Sifakas.
< Lupie> Brilliant! I've always wanted one to go with my matching lampshades.
< Jacob> But be careful, because the fishmonger uses a very similar password to identify fellow-agents; I went to the wrong stall once and ended up with a briefcaseful of Russian nuclear secrets by accident.

< ValtieLupie> I was naked under my military jacket and jeans
[Aquarion]
< net> The only thing on this Earth which outranks Cpl. Briggs' underpants is Cpl. Briggs' socks.
<Flying_O> I think that it's OK to have a large wank since it's in a comic book.
<ahdok> that's wrong on so many levels.
< net> With regenerating mana, you could keep that going *all day*.
< ahdok> I still have never actually been -in- the zebra. (That was funny? - ahdok)
<Pufferfish> I get paid quarterly. This means I am currently in possession of a Very large Cheque.
<ahdok> that's annoying,
<Pufferfish> no it isn't
<ahdok> those are so difficult to carry.
<Pufferfish> oh
>>> net appears to have gained a rivet gun
<Aquarion> Does it turn people into frogs when you shoot them?
<tristan|work> bah, angsting is only fun when you get to emote at people. And preferably then kill some of them.
< ahdok> perhaps we should have the city set up a provision station for the militia in the middle of town, where they can get hot tasty potato products while on duty. MILITIA WAFFLED.
< Winterlove> If you get too many Militia there, they could be kidnapped. MILITIA SNAFFLED.
< BB|work> Perhaps they need interesting collars that involve lots of fabric folded up and stiffened. MILITIA RUFFLED.
< ahdok> maybe they could lose a fight with fire elementals, and you could have MILITIA SOUFFLED.
< androidkiller> Perhaps that post could also serve balls of spicy chickpeas in a pitta bread - MILITA FALAFLED.
< net> The militia should set up a system of flat sheets to deflect the wind around the city, making air magic more useful for communication between patrols. MILITIA BAFFLES.
< BB|work> Or they could get involved in organised card games. MILITIA SHUFFLED.
< Pufferfish> Hungry.
< BB|work> You need a delicious MILITIA WAFFLE.
< tristan|work> People could make music using militia chainmail armour as an instrument: MILITIA SKIFFLED.
< lmm> for practicing that they'd need some soundproofing around HQ, MILITIA MUFFLED.
< BB|work> I think "MILITIA FLUFFLED" was already making me lose the game, so... :)
< tristan|work> We could feed the militia delicious desserts as a sign of gratitude: MILITIA TRUFFLED.
< BB|work> (Alternatively, something amusing happened on the internet: MILITIA ROFLED.)
< Flying_O> Arrrrrrr! I be casting me fireballs!
<Ebron> Anyone fancy poisoning Petrof? :) <Pufferfish> in the park
* Pufferfish tastes ed
<tristan> Pushing back the frontiers of magic one earthquake at a time!
< tristan> I don't think elemental lords make good pets.
< tristan> ... oops, wrong window.
< Koryne> *boggle*
< Koryne> Whatever you're discussing please please try it...
< Zebbie> hang on, lmm is marrying kakatal?
* Koryne decides she has had enough people for the moment
* Winterlove gives Koryne a toothpick.
< Flying_O> What's that you say Skippy? Old man Magnus is trapped down a well? And they say Communicate with Animals is useless...
<androidkiller> What happened to the character ref?
<Taxellor> androidkiller: which one? :p
<androidkiller> Well, I was mostly intrigued as to why there were two
<tristan> One of them was allegedly perhaps not entirely in tune with the objectives of the PC group as a whole.
<Taxellor> The first one ordered some zombies to stab the party up
<TheKremlin> well, you don't have any hands.
<TheKremlin> Roleplay as appropriate.
< Taxellor> I have a Platypus which has lasted me years
< Pufferfish> Taxellor: 36" isn't *that* small
<Pufferfish> ...double-ended 12" angel cock? :P
<net> "The hot spot can cause explosion by rapidly diffuseness" <Pufferfish> ...? <net> The language of this paper is "English" only because no other language would have it.
<Lupie> I wanna be a Shaman.
<Lupie> I think I'll start now.
<Lupie> Has anyone got a spare animal skin?
<Bluebottle> Not on me, sorry.
<Taxellor> He had a choice between living in the forests with other werewolves or becoming an axe <Taxellor> he decided to become an axe. <Taxellor> Hence he is a wereaxe. <dp301_> I do wonder what the axe now does <dp301_> turns into a dagger on a full moon perhaps
< tristan> o/~ The grand old development manager of Cambridge / He had twenty developers / He
marched them up to the the top of the hill / and he marched them down again o/~
< Aquarion> And are you up?
< tristan> When I'm up.
< Aquarion> And when you are down?
< tristan> I am down.
< BB|CL> What about when you're only halfway up?
< tristan> I am neither up nor down.
< Maz> Viagra.
<dp301> Pufferfish: what colour of blue?
<Bluebottle> net may or may not be marked as food. <net> Anyway, to the police!
<BB|CL> Wow, my downtime email reply doesn't offer love spells this week. <Pufferfish> What does it offer? <BB|CL> Instead I have "Spiritual Ascension - Activate your DNA to be able to walk through a stargate and ascend". <Felicity> That's impressive <Alchemist> that's *excellent* <BB|CL> Especially given that it's Mary's downtime.
< tristan> Lucie doesn't have identity issues, she has a katana :)
(from the exec channel) < net> I don't think our stats system has ever been squamous.
"The dangers of research reviews", aka "Because sometimes conversations overlap entertainingly...." < KT> ooh, writing a research review is fun *nods* < Pufferfish> and then when you're done you find it's a Balance priest with Smite Body, Uncursing and Mind Control ;-) < KT> you get names like Willebrord Snellius appearing < Zebbie> you'd really want mind control in that situation
Following a long conversation about bad IC chatup lines:
23:18 < Edith> Thog want to write this down in Thog's Journal.
23:19 < TimB> Thog keeps a journal? And can write?
23:21 < Edith> Thog has journal. Thog was tribe's accountant. Trinkets were only resting in Thog's account.
21:06 <Maz> EMERGENCY!
21:06 • ahdok goes to get toast
< Felicity> She'd have considered seducing people beneath her
< Pufferfish> bah, you don't need background skills to be fantastic in bed :)
22:10 < Pufferfish> "helloooo student, I wish to shaft you up the arse"
< Jacob> Disadvantage one of a saxophone over a recorder: It keeps getting caught in my beard.
< Jacob> I cannot kick a lion to death, but please do not mock me either.
<Aquarion> Can we have a Summon Boot spell? Can we can we? I'm entirely sure we can find physreps, even.
<Pufferfish> I reckon you could have Create Boot in green.
<ChessyPig> We don't like create spells unless you have come up with a new and innovative and less rubbish way of phsyrepping them.
<Pufferfish> I, on the other hand, would be happy to reward someone who was willing to carry around a pair of boots in a bag until the one occasion when they were needed :-)
14:12 < TimB> I've just checked and what I have in stock is a left arm from below the elbow and a right hand severed at the wrist
androidkiller wonders what effect a Quad Strikedown has on Gonads
<Bluebottle> Your balls drop and so does the rest of you?
22:48 < Pufferfish> Lucie does not have guns for nipples.
< Bluebottle> For bonus value, fire bananas at them?
<TimB> 'Day 1. The party has left the kidnapping room. Daramin is starting to get sarcastic...'
<TimB> 'Day 3. Lucie and Sam have had an argument. The rest of the party have decided to go quest somewhere else until it calms down.'
<ahdok> Day 4, we've decided to give the questmates a new thing to argue over, and have turned out the sun...
<TimB> 'Day 5. Alric is still unarmed, due to a lack of underwear to make slings from'
<Pufferfish> Day 6. Nell has given Alric some spare underwear.
<TimB> Day 7: Alric has finally understood the jokes Lucie has been making for the last 24 hours about getting into Nell's knickers
<TimB> 'Day 8: Nell realises she is stuck in the middle of nowehere with *this* bunch of maniacs.'
<Locksmith> Day 9: The rest of the party decide that Nell is worryingly slow on the uptake for a surgeon.
< Pufferfish> ...it's not really "mwahahaha" when used on a two year old child.
< TimB> see- Teddy says: 'Smite the undead with honour and truth kiddies'
< Pufferfish> Locksmith: LUCIE'S VAGINA IS NOT MUTANT!
< Jacob> Why settle for a tail when you could graft an octopus to your sternum?
<Locksmith> pffft, you can lick smoothies off me in the main channel ;p
* Zebbie praises her seismic cat
< Inquisitor> "What's lying on the ground bleeding?" "I don't know, what's lying on the ground bleeding?" "You. *double* *double*"
< Entimix> TimB: This isn't smut, this is *cannibalism*
<TimB> someone call Lupie- she is less likely to damage my innocence
* Bluebottle hits Nyar with a grand piano (with diplomatic plates on).
* Zebbie is sad about the dying polar bears etc, but also really loves dishwashers, washing machines and tumble dryers.
< tristan> Zebbie: ARM THE POLAR BEARS!
< Zebbie> tristan: in this case, lack of ice due to warming, getting them cool sppedboats would be better
< Zebbie> 8ft bear in shades driving a speedboat with rocket-powered harpoons :)
< Pufferfish> ChessAtWork?: Sparkling mineral water doesn't do spirit doubles :)
< Pufferfish> I have always assumed that there is an elvish word that means "the respect with which we treat the elemental lords" < SevenSecrets > 'a healthy instinct for self-preservation'? :)
* Lupie applies a dress!
* TheKremlin wikifies it
< ahdok> APPLE QUAKE
< Pufferfish> PASSION FLOWER STORM
< ahdok> PINK PETALS
< Pufferfish> STRAWBERRY FLAME
< ahdok> LEMON TWISTER
< ahdok> :)
< Pufferfish> ummm... ANTIBACTERIAL?
< ahdok> you're pretty much down to "liquid" at this point.
< androidkiller> Mild green, fairy liquid
< ahdok> made from the ground bones of fairies.
< ahdok> that's why it cleans so well.
< ahdok> it's all over the place! elf petrol! how do you think they make that?
< Pufferfish> ssshhh. It's a conspiracy.
< Zebbie> ah, that's from the true elf deposits from atlantis :)
< Zebbie> a layer of elf corpses, finely compressed under immense heat and pressure
< androidkiller> Hmm, plot for next year. The temple of St John captures fae and grinds them up to use to wash their robes, so they can keep looking whiter than white
< Zebbie> ritual of elemental soul was good for something :)
< Zebbie> brrm brrm
< TimB> whosa cutie wutsie iddle Endingbwoodie den? Yes she is. She is. Issa she gonna bring abouta the ickle-apocalypse den? Yes she is.
* Entimix is a bad, bad person
< Pufferfish> yes, but only once every ten seconds from behind per target :)
< fyrheafoc> also Dion said to Alric "have my babies"
< Lupie|afk> EDGAR MUST PAY FOR HIS CRIMES
< Pufferfish> I'm sure Edgar is paying for his crimes as we speak.
* tristan imagines the poker game in warlock HQ
< Pufferfish> "Oh dear, you seem to have won too much money. Metal warning."
<dp301> but I was sat on a nearby plane text messaging Daramin
<dp301> planar speech also means I have started using my armour as an answering machine
< Tim|office> fine, it will be like parking tickets- by the time he returns there will be a series of ransom notes and finally a notification that his wife has been clamped and/or towed
* SevenSecrets is CHAMPION OF CROTCH!
< Bluebottle> Let's not awaken people's clothing, please, it might get difficult.
< Locksmith> Lucius is the Tennant of one of the gods.
< Taxellor> In the name of Azreal, so long and thanks for all the fish.
< Locksmith> Now I want a background skill in avoiding death by piano...
< Bluebottle> Pufferfish: It's the PG-13 version of the elf game.
< Bluebottle> Pufferfish: Pshaw, I mock your puny incest taboos. ;)
< Valtiel> No, you can't have a larp-safe troll penis.
< Bluebottle> Illithidbix: Auriel's like an armadillo.
< Bluebottle> And that may well be the oddest thing I've said on #larp.
< Nyar> "Never start a land war in Asia...."
* TheKremlin invades asia with an army of flying monkeys
< Nyar> Dammit, I was about to go to bed. Now I am debating metal bands and playing virtual surrealist RISK.
* Nyar lands 3 cthulhui in Brazil.
< Taxellor> Everyone knows that the tactics book favours playing Germany.
< Taxellor> This just because the author didn't like playing Russia
< TheKremlin> bah, I shall have to rely on my secondary force of zombie chickens to invade liechtenstein and angola.
< Nyar> Eeek! Lichenstein zombies. You dirty swine you.
< Nyar> I can just about rouse one penagallen from Wales.
< TheKremlin> hmmm. It looks like I'm going to have to spend a while seeding fiji with warpstone before I can develop the next stage of my plan.
< ahdok> Will has told me he wants to monster CUTT more, rather than play. He feels a bit out of depth, since our setting is quite broad and he doesn't know it.
< ahdok> but hopefully he should actually show up some more next year.
< ahdok> I could use him, we need an asshole on the monster crew :)
< ahdok> the best we've got is, well, probably me.
< ahdok> but I'm more of a "fucker"
< ahdok> and michael's a git.
<net> Bluebottle: You had to ask him very nicely to manifest fully.
<Bluebottle> net: Yes, at great length.
<Aquarion> I do not recommend worshiping yogurt. <BB|CL> In Soviet Maelstrom, yoghurt worships you? <Aquarion> Although it does have cultural advantages.
< ahdok> I have some issues with the gimp being terrible.
< Locksmith> I only got one obnoxious comment on my post-3ygb zombie look. I told the guy I'd been dead for two days, and he fucked off :P
22:33 < Bluebottle> In Soviet #larp...
22:33 < Locksmith> In soviet #larp, fudge pings you?
22:33 < Pufferfish> Bluebottle: Slightly. Also it doesn't go crumbly after a week.
22:33 * Locksmith high-fives Bluebottle
22:33 < Bluebottle> I'd ping your mum.
22:33 < Pufferfish> (if kept in airtight box)
22:33 < Bluebottle> ...now there's a combination of lines.
22:33 < Pufferfish> I should experiment with flavours sometimes
22:33 < Chevron> hmm. experiments and fudge...
22:33 * fudge looks concerned
22:33 < Pufferfish> FOR SCIENCE!
22:26 < Bluebottle> (...well, I guess one good thing about eidolon ejaculate is that it can be whatever the eidolon chooses, and it demanifests after an hour...)
22:51 < Chevron> actually, a melon? possibly the least arousing fruit ever.

< Aquarion> I knew I should have used Carrots instead of Kittens. This is going to backfire horribly.
< Refs> androidkiller just got rickrolled by his dessert.
<Jacob> ...bollocks.
<Jacob> I just saw a mouse run across the kitchen floor.
<Aquarion> Hmm. Food.
* Zebbie discovers that the spork she wound into her hair is now permanently attached
< Nora> instead of proving some weird matrix identity I disproved the existence of my brain
< Jacob> If you unrefine ballroom dancing, you get disco dancing, or possibly just sex.
< porange> I am afraid I draw teh lien at walkign round cambridge with a washing up bowl full of cornflakes :D
<fudge> "Hi, I'm Tom, and this is my pus-filled hemisphere
<Lupie> I hope no-one's porked my cereals
<Zebbie> a sentiment we can all get behind, I feel
< Jacob> "Locksmith's craunchings are beginning to wear; her wommets need splunching to reinforce them".
<Lupie> man, I want twiglet snow
< Jacob> I do not feel that pimping underage polar bears can be a major element of a sound economy, no matter how cute and fluffy they are.
< porange> hands full of mini undead fingers seems to stop me typing
< Zebbie> the detailed little screws are best, i think
< TimB> SevenSecrets: you cannot sacrifice Jacob to your cat
* Locksmith has no interest in dog erections
< Inquisitor> Personally, I see this as equivalent to circulating rumors that the atom bomb is lined in cat fur, in order to make people complain about it as being cruel to animals.
< Bluebottle> It is only "more psychological" if by "more psychological" you mean "has more fights involving ECTOPLASMIC SQUID".
< Bluebottle> On the other hand, I am quite willing to forego "inquisitor's slide into heresy" if instead I get "inquisitor has psychic fights in the form of a TELEPATHIC SHARK".
