(12/19 22:20:41) Brian Fioca: she’s dangerous
(12/19 22:20:42) Brian Fioca: very
Brian Fioca:
well
(12/19 22:20:57) Pehpsee: hi! Mr. Sharper
(12/19 22:20:58) Brian Fioca: good or bad
Douglas Sharper:
She’s requesting an interview.
Brian Fioca:
not sure
(12/19 22:21:02) Daedalus: she claims to be neutral
(12/19 22:21:04) Daedalus: yes
Douglas Sharper:
Hello Pehpsee
Douglas Sharper:
I don’t think we’ve ever met.
Brian Fioca:
she wants her own part in this
(12/19 22:21:15) Daedalus: i was speaking with her about it before i rushed here
(12/19 22:21:18) Pehpsee: hi! Daed, Brian!!
(12/19 22:21:22) Brian Fioca: she’s upset that she got no recognition from her help in the city
Douglas Sharper:
Have you seen the private rooms?
Daedalus:
gave her my KI
Douglas Sharper:
Her help in the city?
Brian Fioca:
yes
(12/19 22:21:38) Daedalus: yes, doug
Brian Fioca:
she claims she cleared space for you yesterday
(12/19 22:21:50) Pehpsee: i am going to go look now
(12/19 22:21:54) Brian Fioca: and wants political influence
(12/19 22:21:54) Daedalus: huh?
Douglas Sharper:
Ah…she may have.
Brian Fioca:
she did
(12/19 22:22:00) Brian Fioca: but
(12/19 22:22:07) Brian Fioca: she seems too eager for power
(12/19 22:22:11) Daedalus: hmm
Douglas Sharper:
Should I meet with her?
Brian Fioca:
yes, i think it would be good
(12/19 22:22:25) Brian Fioca: but,
(12/19 22:22:32) Brian Fioca: she doesn’t like you i’m afraid
(12/19 22:22:37) Daedalus: Sharper – how did you know that she wanted an interview?
Douglas Sharper:
She just asked me.
Brian Fioca:
she just wants your support i guess, for her “guild”
(12/19 22:23:08) Daedalus: she sent a letter to us about it
Douglas Sharper:
A letter?
Daedalus:
she claims to be neutral
Daedalus:
to the Echo, yes
Douglas Sharper:
I’m so tired of these neutral people.
Brian Fioca:
she could be a very strong leader, but… she’s very extremist, by her words
(12/19 22:23:33) Brian Fioca: i agree
(12/19 22:23:34) Daedalus: however
Douglas Sharper:
These peace lovers.
Daedalus:
hear this
Douglas Sharper:
I’m tried period right now.
Brian Fioca:
right
(12/19 22:23:47) Daedalus: her letter made it sound like she was against protesting
(12/19 22:23:49) Brian Fioca: i understand
Douglas Sharper:
There is too much going on.
Daedalus:
it sounded a bit pro-DRC
(12/19 22:24:05) Daedalus: very bizarre
(12/19 22:24:09) Brian Fioca: so, what should we focus on
(12/19 22:24:23) Daedalus: but i think her intentions are “neutral”, whatever that might mean.,..
(12/19 22:24:26) Brian Fioca: gathering support i suppose
Douglas Sharper:
Pehpse, what did you think?
Douglas Sharper:
Gathering suport. Prearing for the “wrath” of the DRC.
Brian Fioca:
got it
(12/19 22:24:59) Daedalus: “wrath” thats funny
Pehpsee:
They are beautiful but I still don’t see quite how they work
Douglas Sharper:
We’ll show you.
Daedalus:
makes me wonder though
(12/19 22:25:42) Brian Fioca: by the way, can i try to get to your relto again? it didn’t work earlier
Brian Fioca:
hi pepsi
Douglas Sharper:
Pehpsee close the door.
Brian Fioca:
i’ll keep talking
(12/19 22:26:19) Pehpsee: hi! Brian
(12/19 22:26:22) Brian Fioca: see if you can here me when the door is closed
(12/19 22:26:30) Daedalus: I remember when this used to be open.
(12/19 22:26:34) Brian Fioca: hi pepsi…
(12/19 22:26:37) Brian Fioca: i’m still talking
(12/19 22:26:41) Brian Fioca: talking talking

(12/19 22:26:50) Brian Fioca: talking talking
(12/19 22:27:03) Brian Fioca: talking talking blah blah
(12/19 22:27:09) Daedalus laughs
(12/19 22:27:20) Brian Fioca: blah balh balh, words words
(12/19 22:27:29) Heuris: Shora
(12/19 22:27:31) Brian Fioca: blah blah balh
(12/19 22:27:34) Brian Fioca: blah balh balh
(12/19 22:27:53) Brian Fioca: hello Heuris, we’re demonstrating the private rooms
(12/19 22:27:59) Heuris: Hmmmm, must be something wrong with my KI :)
(12/19 22:28:01) Brian Fioca: you can’t hear anything on either side of the door
(12/19 22:28:11) Daedalus: it is interesting
(12/19 22:28:14) Brian Fioca: yes
(12/19 22:28:17) Heuris: all I get is blah blah blah…
(12/19 22:28:20) Brian Fioca: the DRC don’t want us here for some reason
(12/19 22:28:26) Brian Fioca: well, pepsi is in there
(12/19 22:28:30) Brian Fioca: and i was trying to see if she heard me
(12/19 22:28:32) Daedalus: i want to see the acoustics work in the hall though
(12/19 22:28:33) Brian Fioca: but she can’t
(12/19 22:28:42) Daedalus: she can’t hear us
(12/19 22:28:44) Brian Fioca: hi pepsi!!
(12/19 22:28:47) Daedalus: neither can sharper
(12/19 22:28:47) Brian Fioca: see?
(12/19 22:28:57) Brian Fioca: wonder what they’re talking about…
(12/19 22:29:31) Heuris: Does this place have a name?
(12/19 22:29:31) Daedalus laughs
(12/19 22:29:38) Brian Fioca: see?
(12/19 22:29:40) Brian Fioca: quiet in there
(12/19 22:29:42) Pehpsee: hi!
(12/19 22:29:45) Pehpsee waves
(12/19 22:29:54) Brian Fioca: relto? or do you still want to talk some more
Douglas Sharper:
Heuris, have we met/
Brian Fioca:
many people are noticing me more now
(12/19 22:30:08) Brian Fioca: wonder why
(12/19 22:30:16) Heuris: No, not until now
(12/19 22:30:17) Brian Fioca: hi Heuris
Douglas Sharper:
Katherian is currently trying to tell me she supports us.
Douglas Sharper:
She says to talk to you Brian.
Daedalus:
really?
(12/19 22:30:27) Heuris: it’s a pleasure
(12/19 22:30:32) Brian Fioca: invite her
(12/19 22:30:36) Brian Fioca: i’m interested in what she has to say
(12/19 22:31:04) Heuris: Thank you for the invitation to see this
Douglas Sharper:
Of course.
Brian Fioca:
the more the merrier, Heuris
(12/19 22:31:25) Brian Fioca: it’s important to see that there was no reason to block this area off
(12/19 22:31:35) Brian Fioca: other than to keep us from talking… privately
(12/19 22:31:43) Heuris: Are we to see more of these in neighborhoods in the future?
(12/19 22:31:46) Daedalus: Sharper – do you want me to post this in the news?
(12/19 22:31:53) Daedalus: that you opened this place…
Douglas Sharper:
Post what?
Douglas Sharper:
The opening of these rooms?
Brian Fioca:
yes
(12/19 22:32:13) Daedalus: I’m writing the daily news now
Douglas Sharper:
Hmmm…yes. Emphasize the safety of the rooms though.
Douglas Sharper:
Emphasize that you have no idea why they have been closed.
Daedalus:
not a problem
(12/19 22:32:42) Pehpsee: Yes they seem quite safe to me
(12/19 22:32:54) Estrelle: shorah all
(12/19 22:32:57) Brian Fioca: is katherian coming then?
(12/19 22:33:00) Pehpsee: hi! Est
(12/19 22:33:02) Pehpsee waves
(12/19 22:33:02) Heuris: hello
(12/19 22:33:05) Estrelle: pepsi!!!!!
Douglas Sharper:
I assure you, they are very safe.
Daedalus:
can i get a shot of you for it, Doug?
Daedalus:
smile.
Douglas Sharper:
I think the DRC knows anyway.
Douglas Sharper:
Consequences are coming regardless.
Brian Fioca:
it’s all for a good cause
(12/19 22:34:07) Daedalus: What do you think they’ll do?
Douglas Sharper:
Hello Estrelle. Have you heard anything of someone meeting Phil?
Douglas Sharper:
I don’t know what they will do.
Daedalus:
Kat is here
(12/19 22:34:59) Katherian: kat is also wondering where everyone is. lol
(12/19 22:35:08) Pehpsee: The egg room
(12/19 22:35:09) Brian Fioca: we’re in the room next to the classroom
(12/19 22:35:23) Katherian waves
(12/19 22:35:28) Pehpsee waves
(12/19 22:35:28) Katherian: so you got your rooms opened, eh?
(12/19 22:35:30) Heuris waves
(12/19 22:35:33) Katherian: [impressed]
Douglas Sharper:
As they should have been long ago by the DRC.
Brian Fioca:
you changed, kat
(12/19 22:36:03) Katherian: as I was about to say from my hood, Doug…Our #1 goal NEEDs to be at this moment in space & time, infiltrating their “secret island lair”. ASAP.
(12/19 22:36:13) Brian Fioca: what?
(12/19 22:36:15) Katherian: Changed? ^ ^
(12/19 22:36:19) Daedalus: interesting way of putting it
(12/19 22:36:24) Estrelle: so douglas what else do you have in store?
Douglas Sharper:
secret island lair?
Katherian:
my guess is they have moved a LOT of the historical record there.
(12/19 22:36:45) Katherian: you mentioned it in your journal, hon. heh
Douglas Sharper:
Whatever I can do.
Douglas Sharper:
Please don’t call me hon. You don’t know me.
Katherian:
sorry. hehe.
(12/19 22:37:06) Katherian laughs
(12/19 22:37:10) Katherian: 20 years of theatre. ;)
(12/19 22:37:13) Katherian: i call everyone hon.
(12/19 22:37:15) Estrelle: make a special relto ans lure all the DRC there and burn the book muahahahaha
Douglas Sharper:
Theatre?
(12/19 22:37:32) Katherian nods her head
(12/19 22:37:34) Katherian: live theatre.
(12/19 22:37:38) Brian Fioca: anyway… this is getting off track
(12/19 22:37:40) Katherian: Started out in community theatre…
(12/19 22:37:42) Brian Fioca: there’s SO much going on
(12/19 22:37:46) Brian Fioca: really
Douglas Sharper:
Right Brian.
Katherian:
Then moved up to professional theatre at Cal State Los Angeles :)
(12/19 22:37:57) Brian Fioca: kath
Douglas Sharper:
I’m not sure I wnat to discuss in public though.
Brian Fioca:
ok
(12/19 22:38:19) Brian Fioca waves
Douglas Sharper:
No offense to anyone here, but I’m not sure where you all stand.
Heuris:
in what way?
(12/19 22:38:52) Katherian: pretty :)
(12/19 22:38:56) Pehpsee: No offense taken…it’s not like you know me, you just met me
(12/19 22:38:56) Daedalus: heh
(12/19 22:38:57) Katherian: (btw) lol
(12/19 22:39:36) Heuris: am I overstaying my welcome?
(12/19 22:39:38) Pehpsee: And anyone can say they stand for something and not mean it
(12/19 22:40:14) Katherian: Gods…the ambiance of D’Ni just keeps…I dunno…
(12/19 22:40:26) Katherian: [semi-speechless…which some of you will realize is rare for me haha]
Douglas Sharper:
Heuris - no, no.
Heuris:
does this room have a name?
Douglas Sharper:
Tell me about yourself Heuris.
Pehpsee:
Keeps what Katherian?
(12/19 22:40:56) Katherian: Boggling my mind? lol
(12/19 22:41:23) Katherian: It’s so hard for me to accept/believe that D’Ni became so corrupt in the end when I look at all the beautiful things here. :(
(12/19 22:41:32) Heuris: Well, I was just minding my own business when i felt this call to new mexico…
(12/19 22:41:59) Heuris: and the next thing you know i’m here in the cavern
(12/19 22:42:13) Heuris: as far as sides go…
(12/19 22:42:56) Katherian nods her head
(12/19 22:42:58) Heuris: well, lets say i agree with what you wrote
(12/19 22:43:02) Katherian shrugs
Douglas Sharper:
Katherian you don’t need to comment on everything said by someone.
Heuris:
and don’t really feel comfortable
Douglas Sharper:
Good Heuris.
Douglas Sharper:
I don’t need to know more.
Heuris:
with the DRC or Yeesha
(12/19 22:44:06) Heuris: I’m more pragmatic
Douglas Sharper:
You are welcome to peruse my neighborhood for now and report back to your friends what you see.
Pehpsee:
Keep reading, keep studying, keep listening and learning Heuris
Douglas Sharper:
A safe area open to all who visit and one not opened by the DRC for some reason.
Heuris:
Indeed, Pehpsee
(12/19 22:45:00) Pehpsee: hi! Ash
(12/19 22:45:22) Katherian: [smile at everyone]
(12/19 22:45:34) Brian Fioca: what did i miss?
(12/19 22:45:40) Katherian: god whatever that egg is…
(12/19 22:45:43) Katherian: it’s breathtaking.
Douglas Sharper:
We’re gettomg qiote a number of visitors.
Brian Fioca:
yeah
(12/19 22:45:56) Pehpsee: mr. Sharper?
Douglas Sharper:
What did you need to talk about V?
Vormaen:
Sharper, you might not think me anyone important, but I must speak my peace
Douglas Sharper:
Go ahead.
Vormaen:
I represent a lot of folk who do not know whom to trust, and I believe those people need a vocie and an ear
Douglas Sharper:
Do you have any reason not to trust me?
Vormaen:
Many of those do not trust you, and I am here to find out your stance
Douglas Sharper:
Tell me why.
Douglas Sharper:
And I will try to answer.
Douglas Sharper:
But I am tired, so let’s get this going.
Vormaen:
Many speak of you hiding things from first the DRC, possibly using Phil in an unstable state, and take books that you found
Douglas Sharper:
What books have I taken?
Douglas Sharper:
What have I hidden from the DRC that should not have been hidden?
Vormaen:
It was reported you took books from the Pub
Douglas Sharper:
That’s a lie. Outright.
Vormaen:
The hunts
Douglas Sharper:
The hunt. One. To explore.
Douglas Sharper:
Isn’t that why you are here as well? To explore.
Vormaen:
Have you truly been “enlightened” from your journey with Phil?
Douglas Sharper:
Have I said I was?
Douglas Sharper:
I have learned things from my journey.
Vormaen:
I am here to explore, but what you and the DRC are doing is trying to split the populous
Douglas Sharper:
I am trying to get people who want to explore. the drc does not want us to. If that causes a split so be it.
Vormaen:
Is this not to discover.....are we here to learn, not hate?
Douglas Sharper:
We are to hate what is wrong.
Katherian:
The DRC doesn’t even want us down here.
Douglas Sharper:
Learn what is right.
Vormaen:
But no one wants a war, so to speak.
Douglas Sharper:
It doesn’t matter what they want. They have one.
Douglas Sharper:
There are two sides whether you like it or not. I”m sorry but I can’t change that.
Vormaen:
Would that go against Yeesha’s beliefs?
Douglas Sharper:
What part of her beliefs?
Douglas Sharper:
That pride and arrogance caused the fall?
Vormaen:
War is often about pride. Pride destroyed the D’ni
Douglas Sharper:
What would you have us do?
Douglas Sharper:
You seem to know the answers yourself.
Douglas Sharper:
Tell me.
Vormaen:
Well I would not have you lower yourself to a destuctive path
Douglas Sharper:
Destructive?
Douglas Sharper:
Breaking down a false barrier? Is that what you are referring to?
Vormaen:
It may start with tearing down barriers, but what of lives?
(12/19 22:53:01) Vormaen: Where next?
Douglas Sharper:
Exactly. Last time I checked the DRC was the one tearing apart lives. Phil’s.
Douglas Sharper:
I will fight that. If you call it war and disagree with me, so be it.
Douglas Sharper:
But I will not adopt a “sit here and hope everything is fine” attitude.
Vormaen:
Well, to most Phil was unstable… how are we to know that it was not in his best interest?
(12/19 22:54:01) Vormaen: How do we know you are being honest?
Douglas Sharper:
That is a sick statment.
Douglas Sharper:
Did you know PHil?
Douglas Sharper:
You do not know if I’m honest.
Vormaen:
When I last spoke to him, he was too....distant.
Douglas Sharper:
Distant equals unstable.
Vormaen:
That’s right, and I am not the only one.
Douglas Sharper:
Perhaps I should not be your friend.
Heuris:
Umm, guys, for the sake of the apparently ignorant, what happened to Phil?
(12/19 22:54:59) Brian Fioca: later Heuris
(12/19 22:55:00) Vormaen: Let’s say you seemed to be doing most of the speaking and leading for him
(12/19 22:55:04) Brian Fioca: we’ll fill you in
(12/19 22:55:05) Katherian: he was kidnapped by the DRC.
Douglas Sharper:
By your logic, if someone is distant, then the DRC can take them. Very good.
Douglas Sharper:
Very good.
Heuris:
k
Douglas Sharper:
What are you saying?
Vormaen:
That isnot what I am saying
Douglas Sharper:
Well it’s what you just argued.
Vormaen:
You say they did it for the wrong reasons, how do we know you aren’t lying?
Douglas Sharper:
Judge for yourself.
Katherian:
If that is the criterion for someone being taken away…then I should be next, I suspect. I have a chronic depressive disorder…And I have days where I don’t communicate well with others…weeks sometimes.
(12/19 22:56:13) Vormaen: I cannot, all of us are in the dark!
Douglas Sharper:
I knew Phil. The man was not unstable. Even if he was it’s no reason to take someone.
Douglas Sharper:
Unless you want to live in a place where an unstable man can be taken.
Douglas Sharper:
I do not.
Vormaen:
Ten I propose a meeting, with the masses present
Douglas Sharper:
A meeting for what?
Vormaen:
For your saftey
Douglas Sharper:
My safety?
Vormaen:
a meeting between you and the DRC
Vormaen:
In public
(12/19 22:57:24) Brian Fioca: they’ll abduct him
Douglas Sharper:
You are a naive man.
Daedalus:
a debate?
(12/19 22:57:31) Katherian: Phil was taken in public, Vormaen.
(12/19 22:57:35) Vormaen: Not with everyone standing by
(12/19 22:57:46) Katherian: WITH everyone standing by. :-
(12/19 22:57:47) Vormaen: Was he not led out into the open?
(12/19 22:57:53) Pehpsee: People were standing by when Phil was taken.
Douglas Sharper:
I don’t think the DRC will debate me right now. They are somewhat angry
Brian Fioca:
what good will it do? why would they agree at this point
(12/19 22:58:18) Katherian: They have no reason to agree.
(12/19 22:58:19) Katherian shrugs
Douglas Sharper:
And I can tell you the debate now.
Vormaen:
I do not know, but I am worried about the communtiy, screw the DRC for now
Douglas Sharper:
What are you worried about?
Douglas Sharper:
That there is tension?
Katherian:
Civil strife.
Douglas Sharper:
Welcome to life.
Douglas Sharper:
That there are sides?
Douglas Sharper:
Welcome to life.
Katherian:
I think is what Vormaen is trying to say.
(12/19 22:59:01) Vormaen: This is harming us, more than anything, the confusion of whom to trust
Douglas Sharper:
Welcome to life.
Douglas Sharper:
There are always choices and there will always be.
Douglas Sharper:
You must decide.
Vormaen:
Well This new world may end before it starts if this continues
(12/19 22:59:42) Brian Fioca: not if we can help it
Douglas Sharper:
It will end if we all agree with the DRC.
Douglas Sharper:
Now I have enjoyed the conversation but I have had a long day and am tired.
Katherian:
That’s a bit extreme, don’t you think? After all “This World” existed for 10,000 years perfectly well without our presence. :-
Douglas Sharper:
We’ll have to continue some other time.
Katherian:
(that was directed to Vormaen by the way)
(12/19 23:00:33) Vormaen: Well right now I am the most opposed to choosing sides, and if you can tell me what really is going on, I will tell others
(12/19 23:00:47) Pehpsee: nite Mr. Sharper!!
(12/19 23:00:55) Vormaen: I will watch, and be listening,
(12/19 23:01:04) Vormaen: goodnight Sharper
Douglas Sharper:
If you agree with how the DRC is runing this cavern, you choose them. If you disagree, you choose the other.
Douglas Sharper:
It’s quite simple.
(12/19 23:01:15) Katherian nods her head
(12/19 23:01:19) Estrelle: goodnight douglas
Douglas Sharper:
We’ll talk later.
Vormaen:
life is never that simple
(12/19 23:01:25) Heuris: Goodnight Mr. Sharper
(12/19 23:01:27) Daedalus: nite, Doug
