teasers everywhere

[liugan]

No, my dear mundane, I do not know what that thing is, but if I want to fly around the city on it then I damn well will.

Cease with that look.

[angustifolium]

That's... slightly concerning.

[liugan]

I take it you are more concerned for the fate of the city, and not for the apparent lack of safety features on the vehicle itself, correct?

[angustifolium]

Given that my mun is informing me that you tend to appear wherever you want to be, the fact that there aren't any safety features on the vehicle doesn't bother me. The giant explosion? I've seen too many of those to be okay with them.

[liugan]

Then might I ask what about it is "slightly concerning," if it's not the obvious?

[angustifolium]

The explosion. Those energy weapons.

[liugan]

It's just a little bit of fun.

[angustifolium]

It's death and destruction.

[liugan]

Precisely.

[angustifolium]

...And that tells me all I need to know.

[liugan]

I would have thought the scene set itself up well enough for that in the first place.

[exloserspromise]

Now the boss lady wants one of her own. Thank you so much.

[liugan]

You're both very welcome.

[inquisitive_nature]

Would a seat belt or some kind of harness be so wrong? You could fall off of the bloody thing if it bucks wrong.

It looks like it would be deucedly uncomfortable to ride in, too.

[liugan]

I'm quite certain I have it under enough control to not require harnesses. As for the level of comfort ... perhaps, but we simply must wait and see.

[inquisitive_nature]

At least a windshield? I imagine having that kind of fun is difficult with insects splattering against one's face and breastplate.

[liugan]

Hm. A valid point. I shall look into this matter.

[inquisitive_nature]

I am honored to be of service, Lord Loki.

[liugan]

[ --ping. Potential minion? ]

And who might you be?

[inquisitive_nature]

My name is Aldmor Glen, Lord Loki. I am a cleric of the Dragon Queen, Tiamat. Still, though I number not among your faithful, I do not doubt the existence of the other gods. Such would surely be madness.

[liugan]

Madness indeed, to not believe what you see before you. You are among the few who do not scoff at such a notion.

[inquisitive_nature]

Such would be foolishness, there. Tiamat grants me the spells and powers with which to do her work in the mortal plane, after all.

[liugan]

You say she is the Dragon Queen. Tell me about her.

[inquisitive_nature]

Tiamat is the Daughter of the dead god Io, sister to Bahamut and the Five-Headed Queen of Dragons. Her domains are those of law, chromatic dragonkin and their power. Because of the connections between dragons and the spread of magical knowledge, too, she is held in reverence, if not directly worshiped, by wizards and sorcerers across the world.

I am yet young in her service, and so I fall under the House of the White Scaled Shield by virtue of my location back home. As I rise in power and experience, so too will my title, and I will be given the option of remaining with my House, or moving to yet another of the Five: Red, Blue, Green, Black and White.

[liugan]

Interesting. I've not heard of such a powerful being. One who is so highly worshipped as you claim should be more well known.

[inquisitive_nature]

Explaining may take some work.

[liugan]

I imagine it would be. Perhaps I shall simply have to find out myself.

[inquisitive_nature]

I will do what I can to explain: I am from another part of ... the Multiverse.

[liugan]

[ Chin in hands, intrigued. ] Do go on.

[inquisitive_nature]

As you wish. The Multiverse, as it is understood, is split into Planes. The one we mortals inhabit is the Prime Material Plane, though it is not alone. There are numerous Prime Material Planes housing infinite realities, connected all by the Outer Planes: the Seven Heavens, Gehenna, the Nine Hells, Limbo and so on.

The middle holds the Planar Outlands, the Great Spire, and at the top of that spire: Sigil, the City of Doors.

This is all interlinked through the Astral Plane: it touches all Planes, including the multiple Prime Material Planes. Split between the Prime Material are the Negative and Positive Material Planes, with the Ethereal Plane overlapping the Prime Material Plane while still not quite interacting with the others.

The last to mention are the Elemental Planes: Fire, Air, Water, Earth.

I'm afraid I may be slightly or largely inaccurate in that description; I am still new to ... 'breaking down' Planar infrastructure. I have a diagram, however, as it was shared to me by a Planar Cartographer in Sigil.

[odinsons]

Perhaps they are justified in looking at you that way, brother.

[liugan]

She's laughing at me, I fail to see the justification of such a gesture.

[odinsons]

Are you sure? Perhaps you should take a closer look yourself.

[liugan]

It looks perfectly acceptable to me.

[odinsons]

What is it, exactly, that you find acceptable?

[liugan]

I'm just having a little fun, that's all. What is so wrong about that?

[odinsons]

[ really???? ]

As it stands what you consider to be "fun" is massive destruction and utter chaos. There is quite a bit wrong with that, Loki.

[liugan]

[ Party pooper. ]

Of course. You would see something wrong with everything I do now. Isn't that right, brother?

[odinsons]

[ genocide tends to take the fun out of party time. ]

Not entirely. It's one thing for your tricks and mischief, brother, but categorically another to lay waste across the realms.

[liugan]

[ Used to be our favourite pastime, sobsob. ]

And I wonder, who is to blame for my sudden change of heart?

[odinsons]

[ yes. well. things change... ]

You are looking to place blame on someone else for a change in your heart? [ brother, please. ]
