Mundane,

Not only are you trying out a new platform, you're also creating another alternate universe to go with it? I know you think that my fandom background is flexible, and that the other universe itself has parts that mesh if not well, then in ways that are easy to acknowledge and smooth over. However, you said yourself that you already have too many muses elsewhere, even if they sit around collecting dust. And don't try to kid yourself, this isn't going to be something that is easy for others to pick up and join in on.

You don't have any information up, beyond those two oaths, and the latter should not see common usage. You're still debating on my icons, oh, and you have multiple ways for this merger to happen. Until you finish making up your mind, I guess I'll be here. Helping to speed up the heat-death of the Universe by idling. Now if I could go out and do my job? That would be appreciated. That is, if you ever find somewhere to place me. At least I have a specialty.

- Arthur.

My mundane is a little curious of something.

Have you ever met someone that is a "Psychonaut"? and not in the American slang term of the word.

I've met people who will meditate on existence, but not to the extent where I could call them a psychonaut.

Ah no that's not what I mean. Not in my world but in another, psychics can do what you do but with a machine or some sort of psychic concentrator that looks like a tiny door.

Though they lack the amount of control that you have.

I see, I'm not familiar with it, though it is interesting.

With wizardry, a lot of what we do is in the definition of things. It has to be exact.

So are you located anywhere as of yet? My mundane is looking for somewhere for us to go.

My mundane didn't find anything that she thought was interesting, but then, the bulk of roleplayers either didn't want to leave Lj yet, or went over to insanejournal given their icon space.

I'm sure that there will be games starting up soon enough.

[ooc: Though I did run across http://thusia.dreamwidth.org/profile recently. ]

It seems like it, with the matter of ease they can switch over now.

She looks forward to seeing this site grow. (And keeping an eye on the statistics page.)

Oh, I'm sure we can find something for you to do.

Dai Senior.

I'll admit anything is better than collecting dust.

Tell me about this 'merger'?

She's taking the idea that 'There are more worlds than this' and applying it to dreams, as another aspect of metaphysical travel.

What she's on the fence about is whether to keep the PASIV as a machine, so that the idea of dreaming is in line with what happened in the movie, or to let the entire concept be another form of wizardry itself.

Well, dream-sharing engines aren't the most straightforward bit of wizardry, but I've always been a fan of sustainability more than quick and easy solutions.

Have you tried combining the two? Pure mechanics is one thing and pure wizardry is another, but you're eventually going to have to talk the guy into working correctly anyways, unless you think wherever your mun is dropping you will have the parts to do mundanely physical repairs.

Use what already exists and add on to it? *He flashes a grin* A little of that does happen already. Welding tools don't always have the same amount of dexterity as a carefully applied spell.

The balance of the two sides is what is mostly in question.

Are you kidding? It's all in the technique. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with— let me know if you need a hand.

Technique can only get you so far when the equipment isn't suited to the task. The worst are size differences.

Setting wire without a soldering tool? A nightmare.

Of course. Something always does come up.

Your mun has a tendency to love putting you in alternate universes doesn't she?

The stranger, the better. She has a tendency to push at certain boundaries.

Definitely not someone I would ever let use a PASIV herself.

Of course she does. I've heard the stories. [ which more or less amuse the heck out of her. ]

Do you think she'll ever find you a home though?

Only the ones she's told, and those are fragments, at best. *There should be a sense of completeness to things, you know.*

No. But then, not too many see how this particular world works.

[ would you like to talk to her about completeness, arthur? ariadne could sit and really have a time with that. ] Fragments tend to lead to other things though - at least this is what I've noticed with yours.

[ a small shake of her head, letting a small frown appear at the corner of her mouth. ] I admit, mine still hasn't done any of the reading that yours sent her. But I'm assuming with a bit of talking, there is a great deal someone could understand.

If someone is willing to explain it is all. [ have a look, arthur. she is referring to you explaining it here. ]

*He has no idea what she is implying by that. None at all.* Patchwork and puzzles, that's what it really is. A giant network of thoughts and ideas strung together.

There are online summaries. Workable, but too brief. It's a glossary that would be really useful.

I could, but I do have a question. What's your definition of magic?

Personally my mun thinks now is the best time to work on those kinds of things.

If they mean working out any and all kinks in this? I'm happy to pass.

no subject

... well, this is a surprise. But then. LJ.

What's a surprise? Are you familiar with Karl or? XD

No, though I'll like to find out. Just that the post is a tad old. Also, brb

Ohhhh I didn't even notice xD Yeah just found out about this place when looking for alternatives.

The idea that we need to find alternatives has me raging

Yeah, but I imagine it'll be fixed given the back-lash.

Saw a comment about translated twittering: "They'll get used to it LOL!" was the gist.

couldn't resist

Oh Powers! omgjkhhfgfdserthvjuhgdefhgeeswxcfhjiuihyjk :)

pffff <3

SOB, always so slow.

whups, looks like I'm slower than you are...

We can both be slow together. :)

WONDERTWIN POWERS; ACTIVATE. (Form of: A Sloth!)

Still! Faster than a snail! Or mold. Ew, mold.

/slides in late

Time is... fluid.

you say that now...but give it time ;)

You KNOW it's all relative. It's slow when you don't want it to be, and fast when you NEED MORE. :|

pretty much. tis us though. It’s an adventure no matter what.

Hmmm... It works, but the system could do with some tinkering

/slides in later also I wish I had my Dari journal over here

... I want to make a Ponch. OTL. But life.
