TAW Session 107: The Prime Reality Part III - The Discovery

[Snipe] Time Chart: Time has no meaning here
[Snipe] Location: Balance Point
[Snipe] GM: This takes place shortly after the other team has entered TCT's reality
[Snipe] GM: Those not present are exploring Balance Point and aren't in the main chamber
[Dias] Hey Snipe, are any of the female members wearing skirts?
* Snipe looks up from watching windows of other realities, startled
[Snipe] Huh?
[Dias] You heard me.
[Snipe] I try not to.
* Kiki keeps flying around, trying to look at all the windows at once
[Aiji] [[6Cheryl]] ......
[Dias] ...You know you like listenin to me...
* Iceheart sits in the corner, meditating
[Dias] I give some excitement to your dull life.
[Snipe] ...you call this 'dull'?
* Snipe waves hand around Balance Point
[Dias] Well it could use a new interior decorator.
[Snipe] I'm sure you'll be chosen for the job.
* Snipe looks back at the windows, trying to spot the Prime Reality
[Dias] You really think so?! *eyes widen*
[Snipe] Of course.
[Dias] So how do you know if it's the prime reality or not?
[Snipe] I have no idea.
[Dias] So your saying it coulda always flashed by?
* Kiki stops at a color filled window and chirps
* Gravedigger stands with his arms folded, watching the realities float by
*** Seraphna has joined #TAW
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
[Snipe] Yes, it could have flashed by.  Hell, *points at one window with tons of naked women dancing* THAT could be the glorious prime reality.
[Seraphna] BOO!!
[Snipe] NRP: ... session
[Dias] We could only wish.
[Dias] NRP: SESSSSION!!!
[Dias] What the hell was that...*looks around*
[Snipe] You never know what our glorious creator could have intended the true reality to be.
[Seraphna] NRP: OOPS!)
[Snipe] Winds.  Definitely the winds.
[Seraphna] NRP: ME THERE????
[Snipe] NRP: Elayne is.
[Dias] Yeah....Has to be the wind....Really freaky.
* Snipe points at a snow field in one reality
[Snipe] That could be in.  The hidden secrets buried beneath the ice.
[Snipe] (it)
* Kiki pounces on Snipe's back
[Snipe] Or, *waves hand at a desert with dead trees and mountains* that could be it.  Or maybe that *points at a glorious garden* AAH
* Snipe looks at Kiki
[Dias] What about that one *points at one which is a turle floating around*
[Kiki] ¿chirp?
* Snipe lets his long hair bury Kiki
* X2 examines the overall structure of the place
[Aiji] Maybe something that resembles the garden of Eden?
[Aiji] NRP: Ack!
[Aiji] [[6Cheryl]] Maybe something that resembles the garden of Eden?
[Iceheart] Basically, you guys have no idea what the hell you're doing.  *says quietly without opening her eyes*
[Dias] ...What's the Garden of Eden?
[Snipe] ...baka.
* Snipe looks at Cheryl
[Dias] And you do Iceheart?
* Kiki flutters out of Snipe's hair, tying it in knots as it left
[Snipe] That could very well be it.
[Dias] And how do we even know what it looks like?
[Snipe] ...*feels his hair and sighs*
* Snipe glances at the window that once showed Death Star and the others, not to blurry to watch anymore
[Snipe] (now)
[Snipe] Wonder how "Lets kill them all" is doing.
*** Seraphna has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
[Dias] I don't know, turn to it...*stomach growls* Gah...
* Kiki lands on top of Snipes's head
[Snipe] Sorry, Dias, no food here.
[Gravedigger] I'd rather not find out.
* Snipe looks at Grave
[Dias] Great////
[Snipe] Why didn't you follow Wiendigo, anyway?
* Gravedigger watches the realities float by, not turning away
[Dias] Cuz he doesn't have the killer instinct like Wien does
*** Diamondback has quit IRC
[Gravedigger] Because they're ready to kill anyone they have to, for the supposed sake of saving the universe.
[Snipe] Or tons of universes, so to speak.
[Dias] Why do you say Supposed Grave?
* Kiki curls up on Snipes head and closes its eyes
[Gravedigger] Yet, when it comes down to it, in any reality, if we live through this, would any of you be able to live with yourselves, knowing that you took an innocent life?
* Snipe looks back at the realities, spotting one which is another him, standing by a strange women. He briefly flashes back to all the memories of other Snipes that he experienced
[Dias] How do you know they killed anyone int he first place?
[Gravedigger] How do you know they haven't?
[Iceheart] Why worry about things that you cannot control?
[Gravedigger] Besides, just deciding one can do that is bad enough.
* Kiki sits back up and shakes its head painfully
* Gravedigger nods his head back
[Dias] Well then Grave why do you fight the Tsiv? They could be innocents..who says there not being forced to fight us
[Gravedigger] You haven't exactly done much to disuade any of them from making, pardon the term, 'making a grave mistake' yourself.
[Gravedigger] I attack when attacked. Do you?
[Iceheart] *glances at Grave* I don't see you attempting to prevent it either.
[Dias] Yes, because I want to survive. 
*** Seraphna has joined #TAW
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
[Aiji] NRP Wb
[Dias] And even if we tried to dissuade them, it wouldn't have helped.
[Iceheart] Besides, in the end, there would be nothing you could do to stop either Wiendigo or Death Star once their minds are made up.  I know.
[Gravedigger] I've done more than you couldp ossibly imagine.
[Seraphna] NRP: THX, quick update?
* Snipe lets out a short breath
[Dias] Maybe you have Grave, but that doesn't mean you should condem them.
[Snipe] Does any of this matter?  We all stayed on the sidelines for our own reasons, no reason to bite each others' heads off.
[Gravedigger] NRP: Teams just standing around, debating whether the others were right or not
[Seraphna] NRP: Just enter?
[Snipe] NRP: Elayne could have been exploring Balance Point
[Dias] NRP: Just come back from scouting the area
[Gravedigger] I'll condem them for throwing their very purpose out the window.
[Seraphna] *Elayne enters, looking around at everyone, having had the need to be alone
[Dias] You never seemed to condem Wien when he threatened to kill your fellow teammates
* Kiki chirps and flutters over to Elayne's shoulder
* Snipe stands up and walks off the platform where the windows are.
[Snipe] Look, if you guys want to debate to your blue in the face, go ahead.
[Gravedigger] I step in when I need to.
* Snipe wanders off the opposite direction of everyone else
[Seraphna] *Elayne giggles softly and pats Kiki's head
* Dias shakes his head
[Seraphna] *Elayne walks after Snipe
[Kiki] *chirp*
* Iceheart watches Snipe go
[Iceheart] He's frustrated and not attempting to defuse the situation.  Not very leader like.
* Iceheart closes her eyes, meditating again
* Dias looks at Ice and shakes his head
[Seraphna] Elayne] John?
[Dias] Maybe he's just sick of it.
[Snipe] Not now, Elayne.  Not now...
[Gravedigger] He has his own issues right now. Let him work 'em out first.
* Snipe glances back
[Seraphna] *Elayne looks down
[Snipe] I have too much bouncing around in my head right now.
[Snipe] Memories that aren't even my own.
[Seraphna] Elayne] You promised me you'd talk with me...
[Seraphna] Elayne] Come, lets go off somewhere and try forgetting those.. memories...
* Snipe chuckles darkly
[Dias] NRP: GO SNIPE!
[Snipe] Alright, lead the way.
[Seraphna] *Elayne walks off to some other room 
* Iceheart stands up and sits down in Snipe's spot at the windows
[Iceheart] I suppose I should take over his job.
* Dias looks down seeing his reflection
* Snipe follows, wondering just how big and endless Balance Point really is.
[X2] Are you sure that's wise?
[Iceheart] Are you sure you want to risk this precious prime reality going by without us seeing it?
[Dias] But Ice, we already figured that we might not know if we find it or not
[Iceheart] True.  But it's not in our job description to stop trying.
[Dias] What is our job description anyway?
[Iceheart] That's for you to decide.
[Gravedigger] Who knows anymore.
[Dias] Grave, whats up with you? You seem to be so pessimistic lately.
[Gravedigger] Let's just say some of the realities I experience were less than plesant.
[Dias] What ever happened to that funny side I enjoyed being harrased by?
[Seraphna] *Elayne stops in some room and turns around to him
[Dias] And you think mine were a field day?
* Snipe skids to a stop
[Gravedigger] He's dead. I killed him. Then burried him in a large hole.
[Seraphna] Elayne] In your... memories... did you and I ever...
[Dias] Who?
[Dias] NRP: Elayne]You know....hugged?
* Iceheart shakes head at Dias' denseness
* Snipe hesitates, trying to think of how to conduct his words
* Kiki flutters off Elayne's shoulder and back to the main room
[Seraphna] NRP: ACK!
[Gravedigger] ...
[Seraphna] Elayne] Get together.. I mean really?
[Snipe] Yes...but there were others.  It wasn't always ... me and you... in every reality.
[Dias] Your old master? Or you pap Wien? or maybe Snipe..
[Dias] It doesn't matter tho Grave, they're not you in anyway besides looks. 
[Seraphna] *Elayne nodds, "I know..."
[Gravedigger] ...God you're a dumbass. Can't even recognize a joke when you here one.
* Iceheart makes a grunt and keeps looking
[Seraphna] Elayne] But this is our reality... 
[Gravedigger] (hear, even)
[Snipe] Yeah, our reality is in the verge of insanity thanks to Chronos.
[Dias] Whatever Grave..*walks off*
* Snipe glances down at his reflection
* Kiki flutters in front of one of the windows and stares at it
[Snipe] Sometimes I don't recognize him.  *nods at his reflection*
[Seraphna] Elayne] Yeah... so?
[Seraphna] Elayne] John, we are the Hunters, SU, Wraiths.. whatever...
[Iceheart] You should go after your friend, Grave.
[Aiji] NRP: [Snipe] There's something I have to tell you Elayne... I'm going to marry Emily and Hotaru. You want to join in on the fun? *evil grin*
[Gravedigger] Talking to him's like talking to a rock. Only with a rock, the conversations are more entertaining.
[Seraphna] Elayne] We've been on the verge of insanity since Earth...
[Iceheart] Still, he's hurting.  We've all been through a lot.  We could use each other's support and friendship.
[Dias] NRP: Dias: Thanks Grave..*sniffles a tear and hugs him* DATA BOY*
[Gravedigger] I can't talk to him right now.
[Snipe] You're right, Elayne.
* Snipe looks up at her
[Seraphna] *ELayne tries to smile
[Snipe] Been one helluva ride.
* X2 leans against the windows, tracing his finger aorund tiredly
* Snipe smiles back
[Seraphna] Elayne] I mean.. look at me.. I've lost a lot too... I'm smiling...
[Seraphna] *Weak smile
[Snipe] I'm so sorry about all that's happened to you, Elayne.  It isn't fair...really.
* Kiki watches an exploding landscape
[Snipe] If I could change anything that has happened, I would.  I even would go after Garland if need be.
* Dias stops at a window and stares out sighing
* Iceheart turns to face Grave
[Seraphna] *Elayne doesn't respond, just tries to keep up what is obviously a mask
[Iceheart] Well...you care to talk to me?
* Gravedigger shrugs
* Snipe sighs and looks down again
* Kiki walks back into the room with Elayne and Snipe
[Seraphna] *Elayne looks down at a small device... "At least Lucas, Jonas, and Sarlen are safe..."
[Snipe] That's good.  *glances at Elayne* Are you safe?
[Iceheart] Well, what's ailing you?
* Kiki looks at Snipe and Elayne and chirps questioningly
* Dias clenches his fist and punches at a nearby wall
[Iceheart] Wall: *repels Dias*
* Dias shakes his hand
[Gravedigger] My life's been one long roller coaster ride. Let's call this the dangerous drop off hill.
[Seraphna] *Elayne shruggs*
[Iceheart] And what adjustments are you aming to slow it down?

*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Diamondback
[Iceheart] making
* Kiki jumps back on Elayne's shoulder
[Snipe] Elayne...tell me what you're feeling.  Deep down.  
[Gravedigger] None, anymore.
[Iceheart] You shouldn't let yourself crash and burn.  
[Gravedigger] It's all or nothing at this point.
[Seraphna] Elayne] I'm torn... I never thought I'd loose another Dad...
* Snipe sits there, listening until he's positive Elayne's done
[Seraphna] Elayne] But something inside me is strong... I don;t know what to feel
[X2] If you don't have anything to look forward to, it is.
* Gravedigger turns to X2
* Iceheart looks at X2
[Gravedigger] Either we win or we don't. It's that simple.
[Iceheart] Black or white?  No shades of gray?  That'
[Iceheart] s what a real war is.
[Iceheart] There's always a shade of gray/
* Kiki just sits quietly on Elayne's shoulder
[Seraphna] *Elayne looks down
[X2] How is that different form any other crisis you've faced?
[Seraphna] ELayne] I guess the kid inside me is the stronger...
* Gravedigger looks back out the window
[Gravedigger] It just is.
* Dias continues on walking around with his head down
[Snipe] Elayne...you're VERY strong.
[X2] You know, Gravedigger, there's a word for people like you.
[Seraphna] *Elayne sighs
[Seraphna] *Elayne looks up
[Gravedigger] Yeah, and what's that?
[Kiki] *chirp*
[X2] WHINER.
[Gravedigger] ...Oh screw off, what would you know?
[Snipe] You're very presence shows it.  You've gone through all this and still you refuse to stop moving.  Sure, you're confused, hell, all of us are.  But you don't let that stop you.  
* Iceheart watches the two
[X2] "Oh, poor me, my life is a cesspool! Boo hoo, I'm a puddle of goo! Waaaaa, somebody love me!"
[Gravedigger] Just keep it up.
[Aiji] [[6Cheryl]] ......
[Iceheart] ...since when did you develop this since of doctoring...?
[Iceheart] (sense)
[Seraphna] Elayne] John...
[Snipe] Elayne...I'm proud just to be around you.  You bring a calm into a storm of a situation I can't begin to explain.
[X2] Since the boy can't get it through his head that universe doesn't stop due to the fact things don't work out the way he expects them to.
[Seraphna] *Elayne ries to smile again
[Snipe] Come on, let me see a real smile.
* Dias passes by the room where Snipe and Elayne are and stop peering in but can't be seen
[X2] Things happen, plans change, the unexpected rears its ugly head.
[Iceheart] Especially in this job description.
[X2] We pick up the pieces and move on as best we can.
[Seraphna] *ELayne smiels more, for real...
* Snipe grins
[Snipe] Thatta girl.
[X2] Fine, so you've had a hard life Grave. You're still alive, which is hope enough.
[Dias] ...*whispers to himself* Go Snipe...*laughs lightly and walks off*
[X2] Not all of us have had exceptionally well lives, we've all had our share of tragedies.
[Iceheart] Voice in Dias head: (Aaaah...Dias...)
* Gravedigger snorts
[Seraphna] *Elayne looks at him, shaking her head
[X2] I'm not finished.
[Seraphna] Elayne] I'll never figure you out... but I like you for that
* Dias stops and looks around
[Snipe] You know what, Elayne?
[X2] You say you have nothing to look forward to through this?
[Snipe] As soon as I figure myself out, I'll clue you in.
[Seraphna] *Elayne giggles
[X2] I, for one, do. In one of the many realities I drifted through, I encountered one where I was with my father again. Another where he died in my arms.
[Dias] I really need to eat...*continues walking*
[Iceheart] (Looking for me, Dias...?)
[Dias] *stops* What the hell?
[X2] Now, why those things never actually happened, I still retain memories. I still wake up in them iddle of the night from nightmares.
[SOUND]
* Dias looks around
[Seraphna] *Elayne, "I feel alone still...", She sighs, "Since Emily left me..."
* Snipe hugs Elayne
[Snipe] She'll be back soon.
[Snipe] And 'sides, you got me here.
[Seraphna] *Elayne feels comforted
[Iceheart] (Keep looking, Dias...)
[X2] While you may not feel you have nothing to keep you going, I do. The hope that one day I'll be reunited with my father. That's my motivation.
[Seraphna] Elayne] Are you mad at me?WHen I stayed behind before.. coming home?
[Dias] .....Ok this is seriously freakin me out..*starts walking ahead again*
[Snipe] Of course not.
* Gravedigger slams his fist into the window
[Iceheart] (It is I...Dias.)
[Seraphna] *Elayne smiles again, and blushes a silvery crimsom
* Snipe steps back and looks at Kiki
[Snipe] ..you're the one who tied my hair into knots.
[Gravedigger] That's all fine and dandy for you, but I can't realyl seem to care right now.
[Dias] .........
[Kiki] ¿chirp?
[Iceheart] (Chronos)
* Seraphna giggles at Kiki
[Dias] Oh shit....
* Snipe looks at his long hair now in knots
[X2] Then maybe you truly have no hope at all.
[SOUND]
[Snipe] Windows: *shake softly*
* Iceheart glances at the reality windows
[Iceheart] Hrm.
[Dias] *starts heading back towards where he saw Snipe*
[Gravedigger] Oh just..just...*sighs bitterly and looks away*
* Kiki hisses at the shaking windows
[Iceheart] (Bad Dias.)  *Dias is thrown back by an invisible force*
[Seraphna] ELayne] WHat.. oh no...
[Snipe] ...*looks out into the main room at the others* What?
[Dias] Oof..*slides across the ground*
[X2] If we're to truly appreciate anything in life, it's the things we fight for that make us most satisfied.
[Iceheart] (Thanks to you Wraiths...I have found my prize)
[Dias] *gets up* What the hell do you want with me..
[Dias] Enjoy it while you can...
[SOUND]
[Snipe] Windows: *begin to explode and the realities vanishing*
[Snipe] Whoa?!  Is that suppose to happen1?
[Iceheart] ...?  *leaps back*
* Gravedigger shields his face
[Gravedigger] IT WASN'T ME!
[Kiki] ¡CHIRP!
[X2] Egads...
[Snipe] C'mon, Elayne
* Snipe runs into the room with Grave and the others
[Seraphna] *Elayne nodds
[Gravedigger] Everyone okay?
[Iceheart] Fine.
[Dias] Show yourself Chronos..
[Snipe] Great.
* Kiki flutters into the air hissing
[Iceheart] (Your friends...they shall die.  Now.)
[Gravedigger] What the hell was that?
[Dias] NOOOOO!!!
[X2] Something not happy.
[Iceheart] Balance Point: *shakes and the floor cracks*

[Seraphna] [Oh great...]

[Gravedigger] Right after you on that one, Cheryl...
* Dias comes sliding in
[Dias] He's found the Prime Reality!!!
[Snipe] What!?  HOW!?
* Kiki flutters angrily
* Chronos laughs, it echoing around the room
[Gravedigger] I think...we be fucked.
[Iceheart] But I never saw it.
[Dias] Grrr...*blurs towardes Chronos throwing a punch at his gut*
[Seraphna] *Elayne tenses, blinking when she notices she went unconciously into a battle stance
[X2] Perhaps we missed it after all.
[Chronos] Now I shall be reborn as a true god.
* Chronos repels Dias back
* Dias slides across the floor flipping back up
[Gravedigger] In a pig's eye!
