[OOC Thread] The Lesser of Two Heresies.

[Esther]

Guess we were just waiting for the Seer to answer Lazerus question...... I hate waiting but a lot of times I don't wanna mess up the timeline. I don't think bitching about other peoples inactivity helps much. We waited for info from Silhar a lot, we waited for other people to answer things, but it takes the fun out of the game.
So I'll just start writing stuff when I get sick of waiting and other people bitching about it and see were it gets me.......

[Klear]

I'm trying hard not to bitch too much about incativity - if you think I do it, just ignore me... I'll do my best to keep it to a minimum =P

Ironically enough, I just got a new job, so I have much less free time (writing from work ATM though), so if I weren't unconscious, I could have been the one causing delays. Despite that, I'm anxious to see where the story will go from here.

[Silhar]

The truth is, I messed up this time, because I had to provide Sylith with some additional information. I'll try to do it soon, but lately I'm also a bit out of time.

[Klear]

I'll take it as a challenge for myself to see if I can think of any other things I can do while unconscious =)

[HexaDoken]

Well, I was pretty much waiting for Seer to answer. Since no answer was seen after quite a while, I was thinking about writing something to drive the conversation away, but every time I was hitting "reply" button, my head was getting hit by various objects of various size and weight. So welp.

Also, I cannot help but notice that Klear's writing skill increases dramatically while being drunk. Must try that too some time.

[LuckyDee]

Same here, except for being hit by stuff ;)

At least something's going on again, we'll see where it leads.

[Klear]

Also, I cannot help but notice that Klear's writing skill increases dramatically while being drunk. Must try that too some time.

It's a time tested method, but it has its pitfalls. Also, I had the rough idea about what to write for a few hours in my head.

[Sylith]

Ok, got what I needed, going to respond. Sorry for delay, I should have told you all, but it just had to be this way. I really don't want to improvise once again due to lack of info I should have. ;)

[LuckyDee]

No need to feel ashamed for me - on the one hand I'm anxious to find out more about the Seer, and I've been keeping watch for new posts, but on the other hand I'm too freaking busy for the last couple of weeks to notice another day or two delay in response. Now let's see what you had to say...

[HexaDoken]

Screw you internet for spacing out exactly when someone finally posted something.

[Silhar]

I took the liberty of rolling Scrutiny in deciding whether or not the Seer is still mucking about or genuinely clueless as to what Lazerus is hinting at. I rolled a 4, so I guess I can safely consider that a success taking into account any penalties Silhar may want to impose. In my opinion the Seer is a) our contact and not telling us straight up or b) offering help but has a highly annoying personality, might now of our mission but is not directly involved. If the roll is declared invalid or I'm otherwise unable to find out for sure, I'm going with b).

Then you're going with b).
It's that I'm strictly against rolling non-combat things against other players.

[LuckyDee]

What a waste of a perfectly good 4 ;)

b) it is... here I go!

[Sylith]

"...tell us what you know you must?"

"What makes you think I must do something?"

"If you don't know why you must..."

I, um.... what? 'Cause I'm really confused right now and I can honestly say I can't understand Laz's response - and what I mean by this, is that it feels totally out of context. She just said there is no "must do" for her, so... We did not understand each other or he's just playing stupid?

[LuckyDee]

Based on hints the Seer was giving, Lazerus was expecting her to be the contact for Van Bohr, in which case she would indeed be obliged to admit. He could of course not come out and say so directly, in case he would be giving away the group's identity as Acolytes (in a town full of muties and outcasts, yay!).

Although Lazerus genuinely respects the hospitality, the Seer's failure to talk straight is getting on his nerves really fast. So yeah, he's playing stupid to some extent, but either the Seer is as well and Lazerus is under no obligation to blink first, or the she isn't and as such will never be any wiser about it.

Hope that helps.

[Sylith]

Oh my, what's so not-straight in her last answer that makes it impossible to understand? She's not speaking in riddles, really.
Anyway, I think I got what you mean (no matter how wrong the way you think feels), but this still looks for me like "I like potatoes" - with the same connection to her last words. And makes me wonder how she should react... with no other idea than "he's gone mad, poor fella, talking with no sense and stuff".
