that confirms it then. your type is the sword and mine is the crown and you know what the last object is
[ Though he has no idea what to call those overseers? Chimeras? ]
i believe the figure from the vision may be what i'm henceforth referring to as the authority she implied her role was granted by this authority to someone else i know
[Necromancers don't know what Pokemon are either :(]
Yes, the [.....] gardening-inclined.
[That's the best he can do, from what he's seen.]
I don't like projecting authority onto an unknown that knocked me out, but I'll follow your lead on that. Did your friend say anything about the lady's demeanor? Every so often she became lucid, but it was short-lived.
[ That's okay. Someday Lio is still going tell him that his team will consist of the full alphabet of Unowns at minimum. ]
it's not my name. she referred to it as the highest authority in the game, exactly under the same circumstances you just described perhaps it would be faster if I just send you everything we have before i do that, do you know the game chess?
The Pawn mentioned past Overseers when I asked her about the idea; she also mentioned they were not always kind. I'm curious about this missing Bishop, but I suppose that's a dead end for now... Do you think the person in the chair is the highest authority within the metaphor, i.e. the Queen/King, or the player of the broader game?
[ It does nothing to allay his concerns to hear the part about overseers not being kind. There's so much outside their control. Too many things could happen to disturb the general affability that pervades the castle, at least in how the people regard one another. ]
i think we don't have enough information to determine that concretely it's possible they are one of the game pieces. it's also possible they exist outside that structure the same way the overseers don't fit any particular part of the chess metaphor lack of information is the chief problem overall
No, I agree. Maybe we should make a list of priority information to seek out? Knowing the true nature of the chair authority would change how I'd approach them, should they ever actually interact with us properly. What else? Off the top of my head: The win conditions of the game The fate of past Overseers The nature/process of being granted a role
i'm working with someone. his name is alucard. he's interested in learning some of those answers as well. along with the objectives of the game. but the two of us can't possibly know all there is to discover thus far and you struck me as someone who enjoys a good puzzle i'm using "good" loosely of course
I can't imagine what gave that impression. (ha ha) Sure, though. I can help. I'll keep gathering things as they come, but is there anything in particular you'd like me to dig into?
[ Somehow, it's nice to have that answered before he ever really asked. Thanks Pal. ]
definitely the glasses my primary concern is the potential for a coming conflict. what form, who will be involved, if we can expect to be divided or united i'll be looking into anything that helps prepare for that
I get that a lot. I wonder about our state of unity. The Pawn refers to us as a single group, despite the various differences we're all sorted under now. I could ask her, but I doubt she has an answer. Have you been to the town?
could probably be better, and probably worse i went as i heard the storm departed wish i could say it offered more answers than questions but i'm sure they'll be uncovered in time you?
I went to look around. I've been looking for a space we can all use that isn't this castle. You know, having a neutral location that hopefully isn't bound by the tricks they're pulling in here.
You don't like scrapbooks? And yes, a little. At least we'd know it's garbage, hopefully. Conjecture (read: banging one's head against the wall in between nonsense theories) is always the first step to understanding an historical artifact.

don't worry it's not yours

What's happened?
no subject
there's a mystery afoot
how much do you know about it?
no subject
I've spoken to the lady in the garden and been harassed by that gaudy chair in the dining hall. Is there more?
no subject
the chair was enough for me
also she wouldn't talk to dragons, only you normal types
[ Just casually dropping lore to get things started. ]
no subject
[He doesn't know what to do with the sword. But it counts as an oddity if only because he's a necromancer, why would he need a sword??]
She's surprisingly charming, if heartbreaking. I think she may be under some kind of magical thrall to keep her playing this role of hers.

before i do that, do you know the game chess?
no subject
And I don't like chess either, but I'm familiar.
no subject
[ Do pocketbooks support attachments? They do now! ]
the thing that concerns me most is the kind of game chess is
and what it represents
if this is right, we're only in the opening moves
no subject
To my good taste, this is all egregious.
[he thinks it's cringe!!!!]

do you think their reach stops at the gates to the castle?
no subject
I have to do something to feel productive.
no subject
another is the food situation
if you're bringing the hammocks you can count me in
no subject
If you see any libraries out there, let me know?
no subject
or do you have a way to deal with that problem too?
no subject
Still. Even a few words could be helpful.

i'd imagine it's the modern equivalent to broken pot shards from an ancient garbage dump

they're cute
[ Honestly, this is all very cute, but he definitely didn't say that. ]
lucky for you there's a lot of garbage to sift through
i'll keep an eye out magpie
no subject
[Calling him magpie is cute, actually. Finally, he gets a nickname that isn't stupid...]
I'll have to find a suitable book.
What do you think happens if I stick something in one of these? Would everyone else see my gum wrappers?
no subject
Only one way to find out. Can't be worse than airing your dirty laundry in public.
[ Sorry Levi. ]
no subject
[Palamedes has never seen the internet, but this book makes scratchy noises at him enough to grasp this much. Good gracious, people.]
