That's DOCTOR Shantotto

[ohohohoho]

This is no jest? No deceit? No ruse? You think you have the audacity to make me a muse? How cheeky how clever, this young one I see. That you would dare think that you could control me! But do what you want, or practice, whatever. I think you will find that I am so much more clever. For though I may be as a toy now, perhaps one day you'll find. The author will become the character; in my trap you shall be entwined.

A chilling introduction, if I do say so myself.

[ohohohoho]

Chilling? Oh dear, I thought it was nice. I know a freeze spell had I want 'em on ice.

[zuse]

To the bone, my dear.

It seems that wordplay is an impressive talent you have.

[ohohohoho]

You need not praise me for something so mild. Such things are quite simple, I did this as a child!

And what about you? I have to admit when I say. What manner of being are you? Removed from an admirer of wordplay.

[zuse]

Don't be so modest! It takes plenty of practice, I'm sure.

I am Castor. I am from a place most call...."The Grid". I am a program.

[ A very well informed one at that. ]

And yourself?

[rhyming_mage]

What is this nonsense?
Another clone who holds nothing but insolence?
There can be only but one!
So, I suggest you'd better run!

[ohohohoho]

A program? Oh no, you're more than that. Such a designation is an event where students sleep where they sat!

You are more interesting, of that I can be sure. Though what you may be is a bit more obscure. Though you do remind me of one kind of phenomenon. In my lands there are beings known as automatons.

[ohohohoho]

Why suggest that I run? This proves much more fun!

A clone is possible, though I do not agree. There's more to this play than just another me. To assume just one event is true is to be simply daft. Meant for lesser lectures, principals, staff! A simpler answer is available. That much is clear. On why two of us suddenly appeared. And though I do not condone cheating I won't forsake. After all, there is a certain flattery in such a dedicated fake!

[rhyming_mage]

Oh? You seem to be mistaken.
I am no mere clone, that is for certain.
But then again, things are possible.
I can accept the fact that having another version of myself is incredible.

[zuse]

Automatons....

Do continue, they sound quite intriguing.

Since I don't have my FFXI OC's account made...

[golden_gaytime]

[ Is this a game? How exciting! Let's see if Mugi can keep up. ]

My, you are quite good at rhyming. Everything's perfect; even your timing!

[ohohohoho]

A lesson? Oh dear. I don't believe I will. And this is not simply because a lack of skill! I am a former instructor, you see -- and quite a good one, no great! But now far now retired, I've no reason to ruminate. Having fun is a much better sensation. Though I might reconsider. It would only require some compensation.

[ohohohoho]

A clone is the least possible truth. A simple consideration would require no sleuth! There are many reasons a person may emulate! To play a role? A forlorn desire? A challenge to recreate?

In any case, I think you will find. That when it comes to you, I do not mind.

[ohohohoho]

Oh, now that's an interesting thing for you to say. Some don't like it, they just think it's play.

[golden_gaytime]

I think it's fun, don't get me wrong. It's almost like we're talking through song!

[hahahailtotheking]

... Ya really think ya can steal the drivers seat away from yer mun?

[ohohohoho]

At this point it's not a question of whether I can. I will in the end, once everything goes according to plan.

[ohohohoho]

It is very fun! That much is true. Though it seems like to me you have little to do. Perhaps you should consider a more relevant session. I could teach you some things, if you require a lesson.

[hahahailtotheking]

'Once'. Not 'if'?

[ohohohoho]

You mark my words with attention and care. But when it comes to me, my player does not have a prayer.

[hahahailtotheking]

... I'm gonna take yer word for it, miss...?

[ohohohoho]

Oh now it makes sense that you would doubt my claim. You do not know that Professor Shantotto's my name! I'm the paragon of magic! The queen of pain! If you need know more, then I might need to check for a lack of brain.

[hahahailtotheking]

Ha ha, at least I won't forget the name now, Professor! But I'm afraid I really haven't heard of ya before- I guess that reputations can spread far, but not "across universes" far.
