darvince what should i pavala
irisBOT - Today at 1:33 AM
<Darvince> central
<Darvince> think
<Darvince> of the most central point
<Darvince> of pavala
<Darvince> and place yourself there
Floenne - Today at 1:33 AM
no clue about climate
im just gonna assume there's some grass there
which is a fair bet
but it also might be desert
so i dunno
im imagining myself
in a rocky desert with patches of grass around
some weird drought-resistant treecacti
im resting under the shade of a rock with my kia
in fact i have multiple kias
a caravan
pulling goods
haki imposes itself high in the sky
irisBOT - Today at 1:35 AM
<Darvince> wowe
<Darvince> tell me more
Floenne - Today at 1:35 AM
uh
i'm carrying a bunch of scrolls
i can't read them but the governor of Saevanal paid me generously to bring them to the far eastern libraries
the reason I have to take this land route is because the Unuvis have completely blockaded the southern oceanic trade routes
irisBOT - Today at 1:37 AM
<Darvince> what is the most advanced thing of this era
Floenne - Today at 1:38 AM
the 40 year war is raging on
well I mean
we've figured out a way to determine latitude and longitude without the use of haki
it's of no use to me, really
but it has caused an explosion in expeditions westwards towards Ivinis
in fact they say that by the time I reach ganuo, someone will have come that way westwards riding the supposed equatorial current
unless a landmass gets in the way - nobody really knows what's in the great ocean
i probably shouldn't tell you this
but one of the ulterior reasons for my expedition
is to gather intel on a new rumored invention
gunpowder, as we know, has spread far from amaio where someone first figured it out a while back
and there are claims that have been flowing up the forbidden sea
that an unuvi explorer witnessed some sort of smoke stick in the imperial ganuo palace

that made an extremely loud noise, and damaged a wall dozens of meters away
now as to what this exactly is i'm not quite sure
but my expedition is charged with figuring it out using whatever we have as bargaining power as necessary
irisBOT - Today at 1:46 AM
<Kalassak> wow fiah this is some spicy worldbuilding
<Kalassak> i like it
Floenne - Today at 1:46 AM
what does that mean
'worldbuilding'
irisBOT - Today at 1:47 AM
<Kalassak> ok nokhtan
<Kalassak> worldbuilding is like
<Kalassak> when you imagine a completely new planet
Floenne - Today at 1:47 AM
why bother, when we haven't even explored our own
irisBOT - Today at 1:47 AM
<Kalassak> with cultures familiar to your own, yet foreign at the same time
<Kalassak> in the future
<Darvince>
http://creation.com/images/journal_of_creation/vol24/8471phrenology.jpg fraud horse
<Kalassak> your ancestors will know about every other culture on the planet
<Kalassak> and be able to access information about them
Floenne - Today at 1:47 AM
my ancestors in the future
irisBOT - Today at 1:47 AM
<Kalassak> using magical screens
Floenne - Today at 1:48 AM
uh huh, paganist man, get out of here
i have no time for crazy men like you
irisBOT - Today at 1:48 AM
<Darvince> heymt
<Darvince> i believe
<Kalassak> mess
<Darvince> 205 years
<Darvince> have passed
<Darvince> since my birthday
<Kalassak> 205 vulcan years
Floenne - Today at 1:49 AM
what does that even mean
irisBOT - Today at 1:49 AM
<Kalassak> vulcan is a planet like tilekta and enutu but more garbage and less real
<Kalassak> i'm not sure if you know about yakeicentrism
Floenne - Today at 1:50 AM
what do i look like, a fool?
irisBOT - Today at 1:50 AM
<Kalassak> well, do the planets orbit yakei or do they orbit pavala
<Darvince> or do they orbit pavalaki
Floenne - Today at 1:50 AM
in my religion, the center of the universe rests between pavala and haki
irisBOT - Today at 1:51 AM
<Darvince> O H B O Y
Floenne - Today at 1:51 AM
pavala, as the larger sibling, rests slightly closer
irisBOT - Today at 1:51 AM
<Darvince> lmao pavalan flat earthism is going to be even crazier and even harder to stop
<Kalassak> actually it doesn't even matter
<Kalassak> you should probably still know that tilekta and enutu orbit yakei
<Kalassak> so w/e
<Darvince> i'm going to YEHT at you all
Floenne - Today at 1:52 AM
though many claim it's obvious that the common center of the two siblings orbits the lighthouse in the sky
i don't really care to be honest
irisBOT - Today at 1:52 AM
<Darvince> i am no longer constrained by geometry
<Darvince> i am a hypercube
Floenne - Today at 1:53 AM
there's no doubt the spiritual center of the universe still rests between brother and sister
irisBOT - Today at 1:53 AM
<Kalassak> do you dream of going there?
Floenne - Today at 1:54 AM
i've been as close as we can go, a few times
we'll get there again after passing through the ripped lands, pay respects at the temple for a few days just in time for the first eclipse
irisBOT - Today at 1:55 AM
<Kalassak> does anything happen at the center?
<Kalassak> not on land, but in the heavens
Floenne - Today at 1:56 AM
spirits try to cross but sometimes they get stuck there in limbo
hopefully i'm not one of them
every time i visit a temple i drop a few coins
so that hopefully by the time i die i'll have deposited enough money into the spirit realm to pay the sibling crosser for a safe passage
Floenne - Today at 2:03 AM
hm i should go to bed now
irisBOT - Today at 2:03 AM
<Kalassak> pai fiah
<Kalassak> or nokhtan
Floenne - Today at 2:04 AM
haki's at waxing three quarters light now
