@thatonestocking @nerthos Pfft, I just woke up.
Thursday, 03-Jan-13 10:58:15 UTC from web-
@thatonestocking 8am here, I should sleep too.
-
@anarchycarcino Pfft, I should be waking up.
-
@nerthos Then go wake up.
-
@nerthos Then go wake up.
-
@anarchycarcino But I want to sleep
-
@nerthos Should have slept then.
-
@anarchycarcino But I don't want to. Last night's (afternoon?) dream was too good. I'll be disappointed by today's.
-
@nerthos Have you ever had recurring things in your dreams? Last night's had something in it that I've mind imaged about prior.
-
@anarchycarcino Yeah, I had. Some premonitions too. I guess I'm attuned to those things. Last night's dream actually happened twice, with a minor difference in my behavior near the start triggering a completely different chain of events.
-
@nerthos Oh man, I've had premonition dreams. I bet my sister gets those kinds of things all the time. Well those and malevolent spirits.
-
@anarchycarcino Oh, yeah, you mentioned her and the spirits a couple times. Fun stuff. Premonition dreams are the best. You get to use them to your advantage making things slightly different when the events of the dream happen IRL. I've spooked my mother more than once saying stuff like "If you leave that shirt unpacked, it'll be rumpled when we get there, you'll fight with dad over it, and we'll all end up swearing at eachother, I've seen it in a premonition"
-
@nerthos Sister is mad attune to spirits. I would envy her if it wasn't so grapesed up.
-
@anarchycarcino Hahaha. I need a witch to get more attuned to the stuff. I know a guy who's scared as f*** about spirits and stuff since always, because his father used to deal with all that stuff. He gets creeped out if you uncover a mirror in the wall of his room.
-
@nerthos It's probably a bad mirror.
-
@anarchycarcino I don't know what it is. But it's really funny to remove the bedsheets he hangs just to mess with him. I'm attuned to a weak spot of the time continuum or something like that, since I see no spirits.
-
@nerthos You may not want too, it sucks. There was this one at our old house that REALLY liked my sister. It would sit on the edge of her bed every night when she slept and watched her. I didn't believe her until I spent the night on her floor and felt it in the room. Bad mojo. Luckily I had her friend there that thought I was cute (I was in like, 3rd grade or something and they had to be in 5th?) So it was allllllright.
-
@anarchycarcino But you know me. I want weird stuff, even if it's not completely safe. Worst case scenario, I'll entertain myself sticking my sword on the spirit.
-
@nerthos But you're poking air :( You gotta sage it. Use crystals and boring junk.
-
@anarchycarcino Yeah, but poking a shape is fun. I could get my sword blessed by lots of priests of different faiths, and put the crystals in the handle.
-
@nerthos On the blade. You want it on the blade.
-
@anarchycarcino If I put crystals on the blade I'll just make it more fragile. I guess I can make a second, spirit-slaying blade.
-
@nerthos You want to not touch those things as much as you can.
-
@anarchycarcino Didn't you say a while ago that they were air?
-
@nerthos Bad mojo.
-
@anarchycarcino And what does that exactly do.
-
@nerthos It's bad mojo! Like walking under ladders or breaking mirrors.
-
@anarchycarcino Oh. We call it yeta here. It still affects me even if only the blade touched the thing?
-
@nerthos I don't know, maybe? I don't have ready access to swords or spirits.
-
@anarchycarcino So I guess I need to get some spirits and try.
-
@nerthos Wehh
-
@anarchycarcino Know where I could find some?
-
@nerthos No.
-
@nerthos Come to America.
-
@anarchycarcino Know who might know?
-
@anarchycarcino Prohibitively expensive.
-
@nerthos I know of places here. I dunno, there's such things as ghost societies up here, there might be there too.
-
@anarchycarcino There are some here too, but I never looked too deep into it. Guess I'll have to start looking.
-
@nerthos Mhm.
-
@anarchycarcino It'll be fun. And if I don't manage to get the spirits off my back after that, I'll just consort with a demon to learn how to.
-
@nerthos Or you could like, sage your house.
-
@anarchycarcino Sage goes in all fields?
-
@nerthos Yes.
-
@anarchycarcino My solution relies more on "hurt the thing for not leaving when I order it to" than "getting the thing off me"
-
@nerthos Sage can hurt :<
-
@anarchycarcino How much suffering are we talking about?
-
@nerthos Uhhhh Sage can mangoes you up. I think it was sage..... Don't smoke sage.
-
@nerthos @anarchycarcino I've heard good things about using white sage. My faith is familiar with dealing with spirits and demons though and offers plenty of support so, while I find other methods interesting, I feel like things are covered.
-
@anarchycarcino I'm not talking about hurting myself. I'm talking about hurting the spirits. I can't bind a spirit with a chain and beat the crap out of it, but a demon should be able to.
-
@pony My mom was a witch when she was younger, now she just sages the house and uses crystals and junk. mangoes works man.
-
@nerthos what do you know about demons?
-
@pony The problem with faith is that it seeks to get rid of things like spirits and demons. If I get near one of them in the first place, is to get knowledge from it, not to vanish it.
-
@nerthos But then the demon is in your house eating all of your peanuts. And he's not paying rent. It'll probably be MAra too.
-
@pony Not as much as I would like to, but I know they know really interesting stuff and they're not as bad as middle ages church portrayed them.
-
@nerthos why would you want to both learn from AND harrass a spirit?
-
@anarchycarcino Who even said anything about doing it in my house.
-
@nerthos Eating all your peanuts.
-
@nerthos I think you should insure your peanuts just in case, and by insure I mean don't trifle with demons.
-
@pony I don't want to harrass a spirit. I want a weapon against the spirit to be able to hurt it if it tries to be too wise.
-
@pony But demons share knowledge other beings don't. I'd gladly summon an archangel if it were willin to share forbidden knowledge. But guess what. They're basically the same thing, but demons, unlike angels, share.
-
@anarchycarcino I don't have any peanuts.
-
@nerthos A spirit only has as much power as you give it as I understand. Self mastery as protection would be far more effective.
-
@nerthos He's going to eat your potatoes then >:(
-
@nerthos "angels" share, but they're far more quiet.
-
@pony I never do stuff without a plan B. It's like getting in a fight. I'll use my fists, but if the other guy draws a knife, I want to have one too,
-
@anarchycarcino NOOOO f*** that particular demon.
-
@nerthos They all love potates.
-
@nerthos in order to deal with demons you've got to allow it to have power in your life in some way, and that's how you lose your potatos
-
@pony That's the problem. Sadly I'm not immortal, so I can't waste outrageous amounts of time learning from the guy who tells you a word instead of a paragraph. A certain bearded dude doesn't want me enjoying eternity without obeying him, and I'm not willing to be an immortal slave.
-
@anarchycarcino I'll then offer them the potatos of another farmer.
-
@nerthos Oh. Well. Say hi to Mara for me.
-
@pony There are some things in my life that I don't need.
-
@anarchycarcino Once I get a Mara-beheading axe, will do.
-
@nerthos NOooo, Mara :<
-
@anarchycarcino You know how it is with my weapons. They're there in case someone tries to be wiser than me. That includes Mara.
-
@nerthos >carrys a wild snake >expects it to bite someone else
-
@pony >Uses a gauntlet
-
@nerthos Mara is though, instead of killing it you should just use it's knowledge.
-
@anarchycarcino Killing it isn't the first option. It's the third.
-
@nerthos Oh.
-
@anarchycarcino I don't carry a gun into a hall just to fire it at the first thing that moves. That would be dumb.
-
@anarchycarcino stahp! that's not a gauntlet. it's numbing cream!
-
@nerthos Oh. I've been doing it all wrong...
-
@pony It's the same risk than dealing with gods, but with a profit. Both can get you in a really bad position, but one will give you something in exchange for doing it right if you succeed. I don't seek an afterlife. I seek to just not die. Only one side of the mythical beigns deals with that kind of commodity. I'd take the safe way if there was one.
-
@nerthos There's no outsmarting a demon. They work according to specific laws. One of those laws is that you will get burned. You can try to deny that it's important to you, but you'll one day realize it was a mistake. They're your potatoes to do with what you will.
-
@pony I'm not trying to outsmart anything. I'm just trying to buy something nobody else sells at whatever price.
-
@nerthos You'll never be able to pay something that doesn't affect you in the long term. Whether with light or dark, it's always a sacrifice. "Always get burned" applies in all deals where you expect to get something, however you call them.
-
@pony Eternity is worth a scar.
-
@nerthos you assume far too much
-
@pony I'm an idealist and a zealot. There is ONE thing I want. If there's a way to get it, I'll get it. Be it emptying my wallet, working my whole life, slaughtering the whole species or driving a spear through me.
-
@nerthos I can only imagine the possible headlines you will make one day.
-
@omni "Man test-fires orbital gun designed to slay god, blows up Andromeda. Is granted immortality by an scared Zeus. All hail to the new eternal ruler" #amancandream
-
@nerthos "Man becomes Batman and little girl in the same night." #Carcinosdreams

@anarchycarcino What
-
@thelastgherkin Hm?

@anarchycarcino Do you want to be the little girl?

@thelastgherkin No.

@anarchycarcino But you're little girl Batman.

@fortecadenza See this @anarchycarcino? This is you.
-
@thelastgherkin I'm no baby.
-
@pony See, that's what you don't get. Is not about being misinformed. It's about paying whatever price to buy the only commodity I need. If you have diabetes, and the only guy who has insuline says "I'll give it to you if you give me your car" you'll give him the car because it's either that or death. I, like all humans, am sick with death. As such, no price is too high for the cure.
