>Burly McBrawly: Answer your friend’s question honestly.
 : Wha? Dude, chill. I ain’t no ghost bro
Dato: Then I pray tell me, what dost thou call thyself?
Dato: A mirage of this strange and bright world, a land basking in beauty,
Dato: though, like the Sirenians, cloaking cruelty beyond mortal compare?
Dato: For wandering eyes, do doth land find pleasing,
Dato: and thine image of my friend rightly comforting.
Dato: A lure then, leading hearts to false safety
Dato: so that beasts torrid and foul may gorge on my flesh like generous fare?
Dato Or perhaps thou art a manifestation of my sins,
Dato: a false muse by which demons, of guilt and forsaken oaths, plague my forethoughts?
Dato: Thy colorful visage, thus, an interminable reminder of failed duties,
Dato: for losing mine own life and then losing eleven more?
Dato: Then, wicked illusion, grant this wretch before thee mercy!
Dato: Make this second death swift, for my spirit yearns for reincarnation,
Dato: and this form no longer desires for its memories!
: … Wow. Bruh. It’s just me dude
: That really harshed my mellow [:-\}
======>
Dato: Wait. Art thou truly my halfling friend, in flesh and blood?
: Ya brah Dato: Yet thou hover above the ground like an apparition. : Oh, ya, you can do that here Dato: And thy figure appears as tho it were a blur, a nebulous and misty form of a wraith Dato: ...Likely in part due to my spectacles’ position on the grass. My sincerest apologies. Dato: Here we are...My word, it is truly thee! Dato: Now, where in heaven’s name are we, and how did we findest ourselves here? : No clue dude : Had this gnarly headache, a real downer, and like, I had NO clue how I got it : So I took a nap, right? And then, like, I woke up here, in Elyogsia Dato: Elyogsia? As in the dwarven afterlife? : Ya Dato: But I, in mind and body, am an orc. Dato: This is unprecedented! What madness is this? : Ya, funny how things work like that, I’m so glad you’re like, afterlife buddies with me [:-)} Dato: … I do think I will continue to repose upon the ground. Indefinitely.
>Burly McBrawly: Lie down and have bro-time with your bro-pal, bro.
: Aww come on dude, it’s not all bad : I heard Elyogsia had some smokin’ babes around the sixth circle. : And guys too, if you’re into that [;-)} : Now if only there were, like, directions around here... Dato: Well, with no intention of bringing down thy spirits, I must bring up a fleeting thought of mine. Dato: That we are not in Elyogsia, as thou presume us to be. Dato: Rather, we are in a dreamlike dimension, twixt reality and fantasy, bound by the game of MPyre. : Bruh. That’s… : So RAD, dude! Like, we’re interdimensional travelers and stuff, doin’ magical things like elves! : How awesome is that!? Dato: Well, upon further consideration, I do suppose there lies romance within Exploration of the supernatural. Dato: Oh, how I dreamed of losing myself within a world of spells and magicks! Dato: Alas, barred by blood of brutish origin, I am forever cursed to live it out only through ink and parchment x/3 Dato: How marvelous is it then, by mere chance, I was selected for this game, to Experience something so mundane yet Extraordinary? Dato: Elves find no great wonder in interdimensional travel, but this… Dato: Before us lie the frontiers of orc and elf! Marvelous! : Same here dude. I mean, look at the sky : It’s pretty, like, the sun shining, the clouds all look kinda swirly and puffy, and like, yeah : Might not be Elyogsia, but feels like it to me, y’know brah? Dato: ...The atmosphere is indeed both calming and invigorating. : [:-D}
======>
Dato: But nevertheless, I still lament the situation that transported us here.
Dato: What of our friends, who lie somewhere beyond this paradise, either dead or awaiting it? Dato: They will be disqualified from the competition, a guaranteed death sentence from the Empress. Dato: What of ourselves? I am within the Game, safe, but for how much longer? Dato: Perhaps in a therasec or two I will but vanish, unplugged from whatever magical source powers this virtual land, Dato: or a fate even worse, we are to remain trapped here for eternity from the game’s aborted start… Dato: … All because of me... : Aww, dude, you’re bummin’ me out [ } : This ain’t like you bruh, you always seem so hopeful ‘bout everythin’ all the time, y’know? : Where’s that Dato I know?
======>
Dato: Said Dato is currently facing internal strife, a war of worlds.
Dato: I maybe hopeful, but optimism and naivety preside on distinct continents within the same world. Dato: And from our position here, there is no denying the limits of what we can do. Dato: Rik-- thou art familiar with the gnomish tinker, yes?-- requires blueprints of my antique holowatch to bring everyone in. Dato: But gaze upon my wrist! No holowatch, why I cannot access the ever-present inventory! Dato: Not to mention the act of scanning and sending from a world void of all but crystal, earth, and wood. Dato: To be succinct, our situation is hopeless. x/3
======>
: So like, why should you never tell a kleptor-- no, klup, uh, kleptocraniac-- Dato: Is “kleptomaniac” the term thou seekest? : Ya, so like, why should you never tell one of those guys a joke? Dato: …Pardon? : I said, why should you never tell a kleptowhatevs a joke? Dato: ? : Because they always take things literally! Haha! [:-D} Dato: That… was an awful joke. : Aww cheer up brah. You’re too tense, like, relax for a therasec, yeah? Dato: But the situation is dire! : Yeah, sure, it’s pretty sucky out there, but you’re getting too bogged down in it : Just like, go with the flow. Enjoy this place!
: ‘Sides, if you stop worrying, you might find some new way to help! Dato: Oh? How? : Well, this might sound a bit outta the blue, : But do you wanna reach for the stars with me? Dato: PARDON? |

: I mean like, we were all starin’ at the clouds and stuff ya? So like, this is a world’s sky, right?
: But then I thought, dude, what would happen if we like, went past the clouds or something?
Dato: Not to sound as though I doubt thy logic, but neither of our species are built for the conditions of vacuum.
Dato: We would almost certainly asphyxiate, left with blood boiling in our veins in the most literal sense!
: But that’s in the real world! This is, what did you say it was, a “virtual dream dimension,” ya?
: The rules don’t apply here bro!
Dato: Are you sure?
: No, but we won’t know until we try! I mean, what else can we do? You only live once, right?
Dato: Technically not according to Orcish religious beliefs, but I do understand what thou art saying.
Dato: But why must thou bring me along? I am but deadweight, slowing thy vigor down.
Dato: I doubt what skills I have suffice for thy bold expedition. What is thy reasoning?
: Well, that’s easy!
: I like hanging around with you!
Dato: !?!?!?!
======>
Dato: Art thou sure?
: ‘Course I’m sure! You’re like, one of the smartest guys I know!
: Everything you say sounds like, super old-timey, and that just makes you, like, ten times cooler than all the other smart guys
: I really dig just listening to you talk, like I can get lost in what you’re saying-- And that’s another thing too!
: You’re always SO deep, like, not fake deep, but like, real deep, like the ocean
: And that’s just like, so bodacious, bro!
Dato: Thy words… they bring forth a fount of kindness in spite of my saucy treatment of thy good cheer
Dato: Surely I do not deserve these bountiful niceties...
: Wha!? ‘Course you do! You, my dude, are a bro, and bros don’t let bros stay down in the dumps
: ‘Sides, you have like, the dopest smile and I like seeing it on your face [:-)}
======>
Dato: (Bestill my heart! Become like stalwart stone or humble soil and cease thy salacious rhythms)
Dato: (For thy romantic emotions run false against the honesty this halfling has shown)
Dato: (Cloaked not by formalities and florid prose but declared by bold and earthly speech!)
Dato: (Sincere are his platitudes, by transitivity so too are his affections)
Dato: (By verity are we bonded, then by fidelity shall I return the favors)
Dato: (Where his steps fall mine shall tread not far behind; to his causes I shall support)
Dato: (His humors I shall balance, and should trouble come, my body shield him from disaster)
Dato: (The self-declared nobles sully their titles; honor they know not, only fits of fancy)
Dato: (Paling in comparison to the nobility that thou hast proven by token of your grace)
Dato: (Were royalty to stand before us, it is thy humble roots to which I prostrate myself)
Dato: (Ah, but my love crest too early! Damned if I were to dam the surge, but should my heart overflow)
Dato: (With gentle touches and whispers of desire, let the waves but lap at thy feet if not awash thyself!)
: Yo, Dato, did ya say somethin’ bud?
: You’re like, mumbling smart sounding stuff again
: Mind saying it louder so I can hear it better? [:-)}
Dato: NOTHING! I was merely making a soliloquy for a nonexistent audience, nothing of import whatsoever!
: Oh okay, whatever you say dude!
======>
: So, are you comin’ or what?
Dato: Well, if thou art confident in thy desire to have me, then yes, a resounding affirmation to thy call!
: Sweet! Come on dude, get up, get up!
Dato: Oh, alright, alright! I shall rise, I shall, give me a therasec or two!
Dato: Why the excitement all of a sudden? What of “chilling” as you so called it?
: You started smiling again! Got me all pumped and hyped for this explorin’ thing is all [:-)}
Dato: But only by thy own energies have my temperaments reversed. And for that, thou holdeth my highest regards x3
: No prob bro! Glad to help cheer ya up!
======>
: Are you ready for your like, first-ever flight brah? ‘Cuz I know I’m hyped for my second-ever flight!
Dato: Second-ever flight? Well, a few quiniums of experience holds more weight than turnings of theories…
Dato: I have steadied my breaths and quelled my worries, if that is what thou meant
Dato But as for prepared in the truest sense, that I am unsure of. What is thy plan once more?
: Fly all the way to the top of the sky of this place and reach the stars!
Dato: And then?
: That’s it! That’s the plan!
Dato: ...It is often said that the best plans are the simplest
Dato: My heart lies enthralled by the idea of escape, paths to worlds unknown, solutions to our dilemmas!
Dato: To think that the aether shall bestow freely such gifts quickens my slumbering hope!
Dato: The fruits of our success are man. What then of a poor harvest, an empty return? What to do then?
: Then we’ll make a new plan! We can’t expect to expect everything, ya feel me man?
: Just like, trust me on this one!
Dato: I do. Wholeheartedly, I do.
======>
: Alright bro, here we go! On the count of three-- like, on three, no “go” if ya catch my drift-- we jump
Dato: Affirmative.
: Okay! One--
: Two--
======>
: THREE!

 Dato: Exhilarating! To think of what I have missed with planted on the ground: such freedom! What thrill! How-
: No need to think ‘bout that brah! Just knock yourself out!
: Try out some hella stunts, like, flips and stuff!
: This isn’t something you do everyday, so try to live in the moment!
Dato: Upon quick reflection, I find thou art correct!
Dato: Then, in concise summary of my awestruck state of spirit,
Dato: WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!======>
    ======>  ======>
  : Whoops, my bad bro!
: Sorry I messed up your heart dude. Didn’t mean to fly straight through it
Dato: It is of no consequence, an ethereal imprint of an ephemeral moment.
Dato: Brief as its existence may be, its presence adds a touch of whimsy to the sky’s open canvas.
Dato: “The Dance of Two Dreamers.”
: What’s that?
Dato: A fitting title. Every piece of art deserves one at the very least, and the scenery can only be described as such.
: Oh, yeah, I guess so. Dang, the view up here really something else
: Livin’ down in the shires, I don’t get to see stuff from tall places like this
Dato: My, how unfortunate! Fate has smiled upon me and blessed me with enough coin to travel in pursuit of inspiration.
Dato: Far and wide I have gone in search of images sublime, locations that flood souls with awe and rapture.
Dato: To transform the raw indescribable emotions we feel into ink and parchment…
Dato: With a novel experience such as this, where dost thou begin?
Dato: ...Say, how dost this sight move thee?
: I dunno brah
: Makes me wanna make out bro
Dato: Pardon!?
: What
Dato: What!?
======> Dato: Well-known are the visceral impacts of images upon the body,
Dato: and I do acknowledge the invigorating yet calming effect of this place,
Dato: but thine reaction-!
Dato: I did not take thee for a sensualist of the “natural” variety…
Dato: Ah, how deceiving first impressions are!
: Wha? Bruh, no
: The outdoors don’t turn me on [}
======> : Dato, bro, I was just joking around!
Dato: Oh. My apologies for presuming such things about th-
: I mean, I just thought like, the view’s like what people would say is like, romantic
: And I just put it in like, the silliest way I could think of
: Didn’t mean for you to go that deep into it my dude, my bad
Dato: Ah. Well, alright.
