*It's brief, but you get the distinct impression she is um very happy*
*She thinks to you*
"Oh gawd hun, you were great!"
I do take offense, though.
"You thought that was great? It was, what, five minutes? And you didn't even notice I'm not wearing a wedding ring?"
Go ahead and sever the connection. Stand up and walk in the opposite direction from where he went.
I consider taking off my ring and throwing it, but I figure against it.
Arziay is striking out on his own.
I disown everything I don't have with me right now.
((Some clarification, you did wait 1 hour after "Good" Arziay left, the spec was mentioned and rementioned, he also moves very fast, so he was probably there after fifteen minutes, with that said))
*You hear a commotion in the distance, explosions going off, and you feel a verser, verse out, about a minute later, Cass appears in front of you, crying, angry, pissed off, with as much of your important stuff she could take with her on a magical teleport*
*She is sobbing, this is the first time you ever saw her cry, and or display remorse or shame*
"Immmmm sooo sorry *inbetween sobs*, I didnnnnnnnn't think to looook *more sobs* he *sobs* it...issss you *sobbing fit* I'mmmm sooo ashameeeeeed *sobs and collapses on her knees*
I pull her up to her feet by her biceps, and tell her, "Don't kneel before me. We're equals." I'll hold her in my arms until she calms down.
Then, I will explain. "In the last world we were in, my body was taken over by some sort of creature. Rather than allow it to have its will with my life, I teleported into space, which is what caused us to verse. Once here, I tried talking sense to it, but the failure was miserable. I was able to get back into my body, but it kept a body like mine as well and went off to see you, I suppose. I don't blame you, Cass. I'm a little perturbed that you thought he was better than me, but your intentions were not infidelitous."

*She is a sobbing uncontrolled mess for about 15 minutes before she regains a semblance of her faculties*
*Now a lot of sniffling and puffy eyes*
"I didn't mean he was better than you, I meant it was great. I mean he..it was you, your mannerisms, knowledge of me. It was no different that I could see. I mean it was naked, it said, it tried to learn to teleport to me, but it messed up and teleported itself into space wearing nothing. It was a plausible explination, we did verse, so I didn't push it. He did grab some of the gear before he versed out. He had on a set of clothes, the submachine gun, the chainsaw sword thingie, and nothing else major. I can get the rest, there isn't much. I love you so much Arziay, I didn't mean to, I'm just as hurt and violated. What are it's intentions?"
bump
"I wouldn't trust its thoughts. It seems to have some way to conceal them.
"It called itself my good twin. It's not hard to be less evil than I am, but I still doubt the intentions of it; it's hard to like someone who steals from you.
"We'd better figure out where we are. Apparently psionics and magic both work alright here, so let's see if we can find food and water."
*She nods, teleports out and then back in with the rest of your stuff*
*She thinks on it*
"Well I have a technique where I have two layers of thoughts, one I put out there for people to read, the real one hidden deeper. I'm just surprised it didn't kick you out or possessed the other body, unless it couldn't. It might have has a limited set of Psionic abilities, in any case, it knows you, and us, it has your face, your thoughts and mannerisms. Maybe one of you should grow a goatee or something, so we know who the good one is?"
*This world, is a canvas of white, with a black line dividing the ground, there are no more specs, and the only marking are the small pin sized from this distance, black scorch marks on the ground where Cass nuked him.*
"Either of us could grow a goatee. How about if we go for something a bit more clear; maybe I could change what I look like to a more drastic extent. Talking facial bone structure or eye color or something clear like that."
You mean, a canvas of white, snow?
*She nods*
"Just saying"
*It's like a white sheet of paper with a black line with another sheet of paper*
"What's your favorite color, Cass?"
Weird. What does it feel like?
*Cass responds*
"Red is my favorite color, why do you ask?"
*It feels like earth, maybe a little harder, but not a road or concrete*
I'm going to try to change the color of my irises to make them red. Not like brownish-humanlike-red. Like clearly inhumanly red.
Psionically, of course.
((19 will do it, sounds like a P5@ something skill, will have to look it up))
*They are inhumanly red*
*Cass grins*
"Could have just done a color that won't freak normal people out."
For the kind of red we're talking, something clearly inhuman, let's go with something bright, something even... we'll go with no darker than crimson, no brighter than scarlet... vermillion sounds good, if that's alright with you.
"Freaking normal people out is fine by me, dear. At least they won't mistake the other Arziay for me."
Try to dig in the ground with my fingers, feel the texture of it.
*Cass nods*
"Vermillion is better than evil red. Well, I dunno, I like being able to pass through most societies without getting hastled, but it is a small change.
============
*It has the texture of molding clay when you dig it out, when you let it go, it returns to the semi hard surface you are standing on*
Interesting. Certainly seems similar to earth. Stand back up. "We should probably try to find a source of food and water."
I presume we begin walking in a fairly random direction.
It is lit here, I presume; does there seem to be a sun?
*Cass takes some of the earth and molds a quick chair out of it and it sticks there, and becomes solid*
"This is weird"
*It is lit because everything is white, it is very bright*
*Cass then makes a box pizza shaped, and opens the box and inside there is a pizza, Cass's favorite, Sausage and Mushrooms*
"Um, ok this is weird."
The light seems to be coming from the ground itself?
I'll try to a hunk into a deformed three legged cat with its eye trailing out a few feet behind it hanging by nerve endings.
((100 skill roll in a 0@25 Mag/Bod/Psi/Tech world, going to think about this))
right. let me know.
Botch List Time
1) Implode Universe
2) Explosion Annihilating, GE for scale
3) Form Demon Cat 100x to scale
4) Form Demon Cat .0001 to scale
5) Have Universe make constant Demon Cats
6) Make a perfectly normal scriff infected kitty
7) Make yourself into demon cat
8) Make Cass into demon cat
9) Summon Demon of Cats
10) Make sentient Demon Cat
Ouch the roll is 8
You were attempting a 15@10 Do Anything, Turn Clay into Reality
*Cass is no longer standing in front of you, where she is, that three legged monstrosity is standing*
Hmm.
Well, I don't think I did it, so I do kind of wonder what happened.
Try to make Cass out of the clay.
Have you used any magic other than heal other? If not do you still want to go through with it.
*Cass the mishaped messed up cat, is slowly forming a button on the ground, she can't do much else since it's deformed, and presses it, nothing happens, then a switch, and poof she is back to normal and pissed off*
*Steaming*
"What magic can you do? I can temporarily confer abilities, so this wasn't that hard for me to learn, if you have no skill, you will blow us up, and not be able to do it."
*She is livid, if she had blown herself up stuck as that*
"Magic? Well, why didn't you stop me? Obviously I thought it was some property of the ground and the world, not something you did."
Really? Doing magic without intending to do magic? It sounds pretty unbelievable to me. It also sounds like a mag device, not a skill use.
Okay.
((If you were copying what Cass was doing, she used it as a magic Do Whatever, it is bonused since it is an item, but a 100 is a 100, and there is no help from the Bias, and yes you guessed it this world makes no sense, as it is not suppose to. If you had a high body skill to shape change, or do the equivalent of a 15@10 in Psi, it would work on that skill. It is clay, it can be molded into whatever, but it is dangerous to do so, perfect for a stall world :P))
*She sighs*
"I thought you knew what you were doing, I didn't stop you for two reasons. The first is that we have just gotten over the problem before, and I am still not myself. The second is you dove right in there and did it like you knew what you were doing. If you had asked me what I was doing, I would have explained, but it's not like I set out to do it, it just affected me as I started playing with it."
"So, you didn't intend to actually do anything with it. You just had the urge and went there with it."
Yeah, no, I was more or less trying to mold it into a shape, not trying to create a living being, because I wanted to see if molding it into a shape would be sufficient to make it do what it did in her case. It was an experiment, and the result seems to have been that the stuff is unreliable at best.
"Well, at least we've got food. Can you do water, too?"
*She shrugs*
"I can try"
*She tries to make a water fountain, then a fountain, then a stream, then a brook, then a birdbath, a waterbarrel, and finally she makes a Fire Hydrant with a wrench, and poof, it is a real working one.*
"Yeah seven tries, but hey, it's water. We should eat, and drink before playing with this stuff again. It isn't a question of if it will go wrong, it is just a question of when."
I nod agreement with her, and eat and drink for now, considering the possibility of another me out there somewhere.
*You enjoy the pizza and water, you both are hungry and thirsty, she is thinking like you*
"You know one of these worlds, one that is suited to the skills, I need to teach you what I know. Just never has been one, and this is not the world to do it in. Although, this is a good world to make anything your hearts desire."
J
"How about a symbiont to infect the symbiont?"
Wishful.
*Cass grins*
"Might have been a good idea but he got a couple fireballs up his butt, sneaky @#$%, and now he is um somewhere else. Might have not been the best plan, but at the time I was an emotional wreck."
"It's fine. I more meant something we could keep in a jar and loose on him at the right moment, but you're right; carrying around a dangerous creature in a jar is not the best course of action.
"Anything you can think of that you would want?"
*Nods*
"Yeah anything dangerous enough to mess it up, would be enough to mess us up, since I guess we all have that stuff in us you were mentioning."
*She smiles*
"Other than you, the only thing I can think of is a powerful sword. It's a want, if you want something, I can make it first, you can think about it, I can pick it up and try. Or if you want. I can try to teach steps up here, but that would be dangerous, as there is not much help being the abilities. It's up to you, we both know we are likely to blow up, so might as well make the rest count."
"No, go ahead and make your sword, honey. If it works, then I'd like a large pad of some paper and a pen; start with your sword, though."
*She makes a wicked and ornate looking sword, and it comes real, she holds it, and it is defiantly a sword of legend, a mix between a tai chi sword and a katana, and she is happy, she then makes a large pad, and a pen, and after six attempts it finally comes true*
*She wipes her head*
"Yeah it's tough"
I nod to her, and tell her, "Well, it's not everything, but you should rest for now." I smile.
Go ahead and mess around with my already insurpassable explosive-driven slug thrower design until I feel like I've got a good enough blueprint.
*What are you looking to do with it, the blueprint that is? Do you have any skill in drafing?*
3@10 Design large hand-carried explosive-driven slug thrower (hcedst) T6@4
I believe that with tech skills, this is a 1@10 skill with all large hcedst, a 2@10 skill with a specific subset of hcedst (such as, those which are clip fed vs. those which are bolt action), and a 3@10 skill at designing one specific large hcedst.
I presume this skill requires drafting a blueprint, which may then provide me with some assistance in building/assembling the weapon (which I also have 3@10SAL with, as well as the use of it).
I'm not particularly picky about the weapon which I am such an expert with, though definitely it would be that all these related skills are to the same firearm.
