(12/15 12:46:30) Calum Traveler: hey, patrick
(12/15 12:46:53) Calum Traveler: quite the storm, eh?
(12/15 12:47:20) Patrick Dulebohn: I kinda like it. Reminds me of home.
(12/15 12:47:26) Calum Traveler: same, to a degree,
(12/15 12:47:33) Calum Traveler: though home is more ‘windy’ than snowy right now
(12/15 12:47:37) Patrick Dulebohn: Plus, it gets kind of warm in Descent, particularly near the lava cavern.
(12/15 12:47:40) Patrick Dulebohn grins
(12/15 12:47:43) Calum Traveler: heh
(12/15 12:47:45) Calum Traveler: i can only imagine
(12/15 12:48:02) Calum Traveler: speaking of that lava cavern- i think ive found a machine similar to that one near it?
(12/15 12:48:05) Calum Traveler: in the Overflow Station
(12/15 12:48:08) Calum Traveler: well, not ‘me,’ rather
(12/15 12:48:10) Calum Traveler: the work crew there
(12/15 12:48:13) Calum Traveler: but nobody recognized it,
(12/15 12:48:31) Patrick Dulebohn: Really? I hadn’t heard, but given it’s the holidays, everyone is all over the place.
(12/15 12:48:31) Calum Traveler: ive been puzzling over it, but we cant get it to retract open again, power’s fried.
(12/15 12:48:45) Calum Traveler: it reminds me of that one suit tube in Gahreesen, for the wall,
(12/15 12:48:53) Calum Traveler: but im not sure if im just imagining things.
(12/15 12:49:00) Calum Traveler: bizzare design for an airlock, either way.
(12/15 12:49:18) Patrick Dulebohn: That was my thoughts as well. Definitely had shades of Gahreesen.
(12/15 12:49:37) Patrick Dulebohn: Plus, it’d make sense given they’d have to maintain machinery out in the heat.
(12/15 12:49:42) Calum Traveler: yeah, for sure
(12/15 12:49:48) Calum Traveler: i think similar for the overflow station
(12/15 12:49:52) Calum Traveler: those big giant mixer fans…
(12/15 12:49:56) Calum Traveler: and the gears?
(12/15 12:50:07) Calum Traveler: Wayne was lucky it was just his relto book that got nom’d.
(12/15 12:50:30) Patrick Dulebohn: Indeed! That was very lucky. All the more reason to exercise more caution when proceeding into the unknown.
(12/15 12:50:37) Calum Traveler: yep,
(12/15 12:50:47) Patrick Dulebohn: I can kind of see why the DRC was so adamant about safety.
(12/15 12:50:57) Calum Traveler: if we can get the machinery in the overflow station working, we could probably replicate it for the Descent area,
(12/15 12:51:03) Calum Traveler: if the power issues are the same, that is.
(12/15 12:51:16) Calum Traveler: yeah, it’s scarry how much can go wrong from time to time.
(12/15 12:51:34) Calum Traveler: i swapped out the Serene journal like we talked about earlier, during the shelving reshuffle.
(12/15 12:51:51) Calum Traveler: brings some context back to this strange little hut, atleast.
(12/15 12:52:06) Patrick Dulebohn: Good. I suppose the other story was a bit confusing in the end. The new journal should add a bit more context.
(12/15 12:52:10) Calum Traveler: yeah,
(12/15 12:52:29) Aurelias waves hello
(12/15 12:52:32) Calum Traveler: shorah, Aurelias
(12/15 12:52:42) Patrick Dulebohn: Hello there!
(12/15 12:52:44) Patrick Dulebohn waves
(12/15 12:52:52) Calum Traveler: ah, the weird backpack.
(12/15 12:53:01) Calum Traveler: not sure what’s up with that. seems someone played a prank on us,
(12/15 12:53:15) Aurelias: I’ll lose this one if I pick up the one in Er’cana, right?
(12/15 12:53:20) Calum Traveler: i dont think so, no,
(12/15 12:53:21) Patrick Dulebohn: Seems we have a wee bit of a snowstorm here in Serene now. Luckily, it’s not nearly as strong as before we released the Age.
(12/15 12:53:28) Ro”Jethhe: Oh! this is very nice
(12/15 12:53:42) Aurelias: I’ve seen some bugs flying around, too!
(12/15 12:53:46) Calum Traveler: yes, buzzy friends
(12/15 12:53:51) Calum Traveler: reminds me of something from TV,
(12/15 12:53:52) Aurelias: Hard to spot amongst the snowflakes
(12/15 12:53:57) Calum Traveler: they are very bright though
(12/15 12:53:59) Ro”Jethhe: too cold for insects
(12/15 12:53:59) Patrick Dulebohn: Guess they only come out during the snow or something. We still have yet to figure it out.
(12/15 12:54:06) Calum Traveler: they reflect against the snow very well
(12/15 12:54:18) Calum Traveler: it is a mystery, those bugs
(12/15 12:54:24) Calum Traveler: ive only seen them when it’s been snowing,
(12/15 12:54:24) Patrick Dulebohn: Andy probably knew, but he never wrote it down if he did.
(12/15 12:54:30) Calum Traveler: if he even wrote them in,
(12/15 12:54:43) Calum Traveler shudders, thinking about that journal again…
(12/15 12:55:09) Patrick Dulebohn: Easy now. It’s not the first work of fiction we’ve come across here. Teshafee is full of such works.
(12/15 12:55:11) Patrick Dulebohn grins
(12/15 12:55:21) Calum Traveler: mmh.
(12/15 12:55:31) Ro”Jethhe: Ahhh flying fire flies
(12/15 12:55:36) Calum Traveler: that old journal definitely was something strange,
(12/15 12:55:41) Calum Traveler: glad we replaced it with the proper volume.
(12/15 12:55:45) Calum Traveler: stupid near identical covers.
(12/15 12:56:00) Patrick Dulebohn: Hey, it saves purchasing in bulk.
(12/15 12:56:02) Patrick Dulebohn laughs
(12/15 12:56:11) Calum Traveler: true,
(12/15 12:56:22) Ro”Jethhe: new snow globes?
(12/15 12:56:39) Calum Traveler: we swapped out the old journal,
(12/15 12:56:40) Ro”Jethhe (I’m on the surface, be back in a minute):
(12/15 12:56:45) Calum Traveler: managed to get it done right before the snow started
(12/15 12:56:46) Ro”Jethhe (I’m on the surface, be back in a minute):
(12/15 12:56:51) Patrick Dulebohn nods
(12/15 12:57:01) Patrick Dulebohn: It’ll add better context to this Age.
(12/15 12:57:20) Calum Traveler: indeed,
(12/15 12:57:25) Calum Traveler: wish we’d found it sooner, though.
(12/15 12:57:32) Patrick Dulebohn: Definitely looking a bit more festive here, I must say.
(12/15 12:57:37) Calum Traveler: for sure!
(12/15 12:57:43) Calum Traveler: someone built a snowman the other day
(12/15 12:57:53) Ro”Jethhe is a bit upset…
(12/15 12:57:58) Patrick Dulebohn: I know! It’s great. Love it.
(12/15 12:58:04) Patrick Dulebohn: Why upset, Ro?
(12/15 12:58:38) Ro”Jethhe: Aurelias is going to smash the snowman
(12/15 12:58:50) Aurelias: It appears to be weight-bearing
(12/15 12:58:53) Calum Traveler: XD
(12/15 12:59:03) Patrick Dulebohn: Yeah, you’d be surprised how durable that thing is. It’s like it’s frozen solid now.
(12/15 12:59:07) Calum Traveler: mmh,
(12/15 12:59:17) Calum Traveler: oh, patrick, there’s another one of those Lore Sessions tonight
(12/15 12:59:22) Calum Traveler: in the Archvisits’ hood this time,
(12/15 12:59:33) Calum Traveler: not sure if I can make it, but Kelsei showed interest in going
(12/15 12:59:34) Ro”Jethhe: I once made a snowman around a fire hydrant
(12/15 12:59:38) Patrick Dulebohn: Tonight, eh? I may have to stop in.
(12/15 12:59:53) Calum Traveler: looks like 1800 KI
(12/15 13:00:27) Patrick Dulebohn: Well, we’ll see. I may be called away for more Descent business.
(12/15 13:00:32) Calum Traveler: mmh,
(12/15 13:00:43) Calum Traveler: same for the overflow station
(12/15 13:01:00) Patrick Dulebohn: It’s definitely been taking up my time…but it seems that things have progressed here and in the cavern without me, which is good.
(12/15 13:01:10) Patrick Dulebohn: I heard news of a new Age even!
(12/15 13:01:16) Calum Traveler: yes, Tiam,
(12/15 13:01:21) Calum Traveler: Ametist is planning something i think
(12/15 13:01:27) Ro”Jethhe: Thank you for all your hard work Patrick.
(12/15 13:01:33) Patrick Dulebohn: Excellent. I will do my best to be here for that.
(12/15 13:02:03) Patrick Dulebohn: Heh, thank you…but it’s not all just me. In fact, given my work on Descent, a lot of it has been without my oversight…which is, of course, perfectly fine.
(12/15 13:02:10) Calum Traveler: mmh,indeed
(12/15 13:02:46) Patrick Dulebohn: I’m excited at other explorers taking the initiative of restoring Ages. I hope they feel welcome to place them in Chiso when they’re ready.
(12/15 13:02:50) Calum Traveler: mmhm,
(12/15 13:03:31) Calum Traveler: hopefully ill be one of them once i get the pod area and cathedral ready
(12/15 13:03:45) Patrick Dulebohn: Yes, you’ve been quite the busy bee, haven’t you?
(12/15 13:03:47) Patrick Dulebohn grins
(12/15 13:03:49) Calum Traveler: yep
(12/15 13:04:00) Patrick Dulebohn: We’ll be glad to have a look at things when you feel they’re ready.
(12/15 13:04:30) Calum Traveler: yeah,
(12/15 13:04:37) Calum Traveler: nods
(12/15 13:04:52) Patrick Dulebohn: Alright…officially cold now. Time to get back to Descent for now.
(12/15 13:04:56) Calum Traveler: think im gonna head over to the pub, as well,
(12/15 13:05:00) Calum Traveler: fil live soon
(12/15 13:05:05) Calum Traveler: take care, patrick
(12/15 13:05:06) Patrick Dulebohn: Sounds good! Tell Fil I said hello.
(12/15 13:05:07) Calum Traveler waves goodbye
(12/15 13:05:10) Calum Traveler: will do
(12/15 13:05:12) Patrick Dulebohn waves goodbye
