00:00 <Cepheid> A while back, didn't you mention your dad was getting on your case for "theft" or something?
00:00 <Cepheid> Why aggravate that?
00:00 <Cepheid> By doing it on your dad's unknowing expense, it's just going to further his claim.
00:01 <LibrarianofHope> its not theft
00:01 <LibrarianofHope> i have an alloted amount on my cellphone tab
00:02 <LibrarianofHope> by random luck i can use it for app stuff too

00:19 <Cepheid> That's it.
00:20 <Cepheid> It'll congeal eventually and become a thick, blobbish thing.
00:20 * LibrarianofHope gives cepheid a rabbid skaven plaguepriest

00:39 * LibrarianofHope talks to the bois
00:45 <ADragonDreaming> Cepheid: Hello Dolly is the name of a very well-known musical.
00:45 <ADragonDreaming> So the phrase itself is potentially in the autocorrect lexicon.

02:09 <Cepheid> That cat of mine. Got locked in my mother's closet. He gets locked in anywhere, he doesn't appear to make an effort to escape or notify us of his presence in the room.
02:11 <Schism> Why would he? He knows you'll go looking for him.
02:12 <Cepheid> He either curls up and sleeps, or just sits there with a dopey look on his face.
02:13 <Cepheid> Even weirder is that he is known for trapping himself rarely. He has been seen closing doors.
02:14 <Cepheid> One night I was in my bedroom. He wandered in, went behind the door and just propped himself up against it until the door closed completely and tightly.
02:17 <Divide|Adagio> Well, I mean... sounds like he wanted a safe place?

02:32 <Schism|Adagio> Hah. "Oh, so... so sorry that the guards imprisoned you." Spoken in a deadpan tone, as though he's daring me to put a sword through his chest.
02:40 <Schism|Adagio> Lessee what I can get away with. Things like... oh... stealing a giant statue.

12:27 <Cepheid> Hey rifty. Interesting news regarding the Ottawa LRT. It's been delayed again. Til June. Apparently panels are falling off the train and the heating syatems arent working.
12:29 <ConfusionRift> So it took a lot to get approved, AND they had to delay it due to it being an unsafe tin can on a rail?
12:30 <Cepheid> 2 billion dollars. 2 years of delays. 1 million dollar fine for every delay.
12:30 <ConfusionRift> Yep, 4.3 billion buckaroos.
12:31 <ConfusionRift> You know, just that. :P
12:34 <Cepheid> The delays are announced around every 3 to 6 months apart.
12:40 <Cepheid> So in total the have only incurred a few million in fines. Pocket change.
12:46 <Cepheid> So, any plans today?
12:48 <ConfusionRift> Who, me? Nope. I'm just de-stressing while playing Astroneer.
12:48 <ConfusionRift> Might crash pretty soon.
12:49 <ConfusionRift> Wish I had a more ordinary sleep schedule. -_-
12:57 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, my cousin brought this little kid over while I was playing on the PC. He liked it and asked about it. My cousin's wife then asked me if I was interested in probably moving away from it at some point. Seems they have an interest in it? Dunno. It ain't special.

20:09 <Cepheid> SunsetShimmer, leave my stupid alone!
20:14 <Schism> Ah good. Cepheid: Rob Ford's personal friend has decided to decline the invitation to become Ontario's next police commissioner.
20:14 <Schism> Er, has declined to accept*
20:14 <Schism> So there's some nepotism averted.
20:15 <Cepheid> Saw that last night.
20:16 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, Ottawa approved a fare hike to improve OC transpo services. Among other tax hikes.
20:18 <Schism> Euh. Just so long as it actually gets used to improve those services.
20:23 <Schism> For the strangest reason, I'm having a hard time imagining that it would.
20:23 <Cepheid> Doubtful. Anyhoo...
20:24 <Cepheid> I am in need of a certain type of novel or reading. Haunted locations. Body horror. Paranormal. Spooky stuff. Not just typical slasher murders# but yeah.
20:25 <Schism> Heh. How about a particularly nasty type of vampire? And I mean /nasty/, like actual horror instead of the gothic stuff.
20:25 <Cepheid> What is the suggestion? I'll take it into consideration.
20:25 <Schism> If you want that, you could do worse than Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan's The Strain.
20:26 <Schism> Body horror aplenty, some paranormal. I might also suggest House of Leaves, if you haven't read it yet.
20:27 <Cepheid> That one is mentioned on this list I'm checking out. Sell it to me. :P
20:27 <Schism> Which one?
20:27 <Cepheid> House of Leaves.
20:29 <Schism> Can't sell it very well, I'm afraid: I've yet to get ahold of a copy. However, it works with one of your preferences: much of the horror is the book playing with the perceptions of the reader as to what the story really is.
20:29 <Cepheid> Ah.
20:29 <Schism> The book itself may be the titular House, for example.
20:33 <Cepheid> Let's see, other stories that catch my interest... Haunting of Hill House, Hell House, The House on the Borderland..
20:34 <Cepheid> The Secret of Crickley Hall
20:37 <Cepheid> The Little Stranger. Of them all though.... The Haunting of Hill House sounds the most promising.
20:40 <Schism> You might take a read of the original 'The Shining'.
20:41 <Cepheid> My mother in particular thinks I'll like that and The Amityville Horror.
20:41 <Schism> ("Ye've got the Shinning!" "You mean the Shining?" "Shh, ya wanna get sued?")
20:42 <Schism> Oh, for a short story you might enjoy, which is also free, I suggest Neil Gaiman's A Study in Emerald.
20:43 <Schism> T'can be found here. http://www.neilgaiman.com/mediafiles/exclusive/shortstories/emerald.pdf
20:45 <Cepheid> Thanks
20:48 <Cepheid> All good suggestions I'll check out. Dunno why I've been reading or wanting such books as of late, though.

22:19 <Cepheid> Fun note. But one time, when I was a child, I went house hunting with my parents. I remember this one place relatively clearly. Red brick foundation. Front and side entrance. Longer than it was wide. Side entrance opened to the middle landing of a stairway to the basement.
22:19 <Ali> Geez Cepheid, they're already up to .17.8
22:19 <Cepheid> What I remember most though, was the feeling of wrongness. There was something wrong. It unnerved me to no end. I didn't want to stay there.

22:24 <Cepheid> You ever encounter anything like that, Schism?
22:25 <Schism> I can't say I have, I'm afraid. Not in so many terms. The most I've done is felt an indescribable sense of /age/ in certain buildings. Whether or not that's related...
22:28 <Cepheid> This was more a sense of something seriously wrong. It didn't feel right. The difference between the interior of the house and exterior was extreme. Like a solid, but permeable-to-people barrier existed in the walls.
22:29 <Schism> Hm. There is a belief that the boundaries of a property have a certain metaphysical sense to them, that it extends to those outside bounds and no further.
22:30 <Schism> You experience this in a number of stories, where spirits cannot enter a boundary without permission.
22:30 <Cepheid> It was, as far as I can recall, the only time I ever experienced it.
22:30 <Schism> O
22:30 <Schism> Er, sorry.
22:31 <Schism> I'd very much like to know the story of that building's construction, then.
22:32 <Schism> For what it's worth, I don't entirely believe in supernatural elements, but I'm keeping an open mind there. If that sort of thing was baked into the very stones of its foundation...
22:33 <Cepheid> The thing that bothers me the most is that I recall the structure so we'll.
22:33 <Cepheid> Well*

22:34 <Schism> Like it's someone you've met.
22:36 <Schism> Did you ever find out where it is?
22:36 <Cepheid> Alas no. It is so long ago I don't remember the address.
22:36 <Schism> And it was house-hunting, so the range is impossibly large.
22:36 <Cepheid> If I saw a picture of it though, I'd know it.
22:37 <Cepheid> That is how embedded the appearance is.
22:40 <Schism> I've had similar issues via deja vu or concerns, like, "Wait, was that house there before?" That occurred to me down in Texas. Suddenly, a house I swear I'd never seen before in my life was at the end of the block.
22:40 <Schism> I've never been completely certain if that was my mind just completely forgetting it, or something a bit more peculiar. And that's to say nothing of situations involving deja vu in general.
22:44 <Cepheid> Interestingly, a cursory search reveals no mention of the place I visited.
22:47 <Schism> Hmm.
22:52 <Schism> Sounds rather familiar, that. The neighborhood I used to live in, sadly, has been transformed, so I can't say anything about that -- it's been 10 years.
22:52 <Schism> Well, at least a decade.
22:54 <Schism> House looks fine at least.
22:55 <Schism> This place, in case anyone'd care to look. http://tinyurl.com/y27a9otx No murders inside, AFAIK.
23:05 <Cepheid> So, fun story.
23:05 <Cepheid> I mentioned it to my mother.
23:06 <Cepheid> I was indeed remembering things clearly.
23:06 <Schism> Did she have the same feeling?
23:06 <Cepheid> You want to know what was up with the place?
23:06 <Schism> Murder house?
23:06 <Cepheid> Suicide.
23:06 <Schism> ugggh.
23:06 <Schism> Even worse.
23:06 <Cepheid> Previous owner killed himself by hanging in the basement.
23:06 <Cepheid> That would explain why I refused to go near the basement.
23:07 <Schism> Well. I've never been really dismissive of psychic phenomena, but I've never really accepted it either. I'll accept your word, though.
23:08 <Cepheid> My mother specifically states I tried to get us all to leave ASAP.
23:08 <Schism> Rightly so, I should imagine.
23:08 <Cepheid> Before the person trying to sell us the place even mentioned the suicide.
23:08 <Cepheid> In fact, they tried to hide the fact.
23:08 * Schism eyebrows. "Well."
23:08 <Schism> Seriously, that's impressive.
23:10 <Cepheid> Though I have no evidence of it, I like to believe hauntings are real.
23:10 <Schism> If nothing else, I'll accept that a certain impression can get baked into certain things, like musical instruments, weapons, and walls.
23:11 <Schism> Such an impression could result in a negative or positive influence upon certain areas.
23:12 <Schism> I don't know how, and physically speaking, we'd have a fun time actually defining it or coming up with actual explanations, and that's not helped by the idiot 'ghost hunter' crowd who use things that even Scientologists would shake their collective head at.
23:13 <Cepheid> Hell even I shake my head at them.
23:13 <Cepheid> Ghost hunters who use television and youtube are just out to spook folks and get attention.
23:13 <Schism> I've had just too many situations where I've encountered weirdness -- including some faux precognition -- to say that... well. More things on Heaven and Earth, Horatio.
23:14 <Schism> I like to think that they troll us, too.
23:14 <Cepheid> Yep.
23:15 <Cepheid> That said, it sucks that paranormal horror, disturbing alternate realities and the like are uncommon.
23:15 <Schism> Assuming a literal, sophont spirit, of course it's going to be playing with us. What else would it have to do?
23:15 <Schism> But yeah. It'd be nice to have some proof, even if it's a shrieking librarian banshee.
23:16 <Schism> Not even as an illustration of the afterlife, but as an illustration of paranormal action.
23:16 <Cepheid> Heh.
23:16 <Cepheid> I meant more in terms of stories, movies, games and the like.
23:17 <Cepheid> It'd also be nice to have stories of places that are haunted *OTHER* than houses.
23:17 <Cepheid> Like office buildings, derelict places, apartment buildings. Apartment buildings especially. Hmm...
23:18 <Schism> Silent Hill 4, perhaps?
23:18 <Cepheid> Well, that's one example of the case, yes.
23:18 <Schism> Really, the Silent Hill series in general.
23:19 <Cepheid> Hum... Apartment Building. At exactly the stroke of midnight, all doors find themselves slamming shut. If there's anything in the way, it's moved out of the way such that the item is undamaged, including human limbs and such. For the next hour, you hear the inhabitants screaming in terror, pain and so on. Then after the hour ends, everyone stops screaming, the doors open to their original positions, everyone is found
23:19 <Cepheid> unharmed and in the middle of whatever they were doing, with no memory of that one hour.
23:19 <Schism> There's a Royal Road story which you might appreciate, if you're reading that sort. The Daily Grind. https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/15925/the-daily-grind
23:20 <Schism> Tech support agent finds a door leading to a dungeon with some monstrous horrors. He survives, even thrives. And then it gets worse, a LOT worse.
23:20 * Cepheid bookmarks.
23:21 <Schism> Monstrous horrors involve things like CRT monitors which try to eat your face, electric mice, and copiers which tank their way into you.
23:21 <Schism> And flocks of faxes which swoop down and peck. Hard.
23:21 <Cepheid> Heh.
23:23 <Cepheid> But yeah, the creepier stuff is where there are multiple things going on.
23:23 <Cepheid> Like for example, in the above case I just described. Let's add to it.
23:24 <Schism> How about a living Powerpoint presentation which sucks everyone in -- by attaching cables to their heads?
23:24 <Cepheid> People out in the hallways or lobbies on each floor, when the appointed hour arrives, they're fine. But they're subjected to listening to the screaming and begging for help from the inhabitants of all the apartments. They're also the only ones who remember anything.
23:24 <Cepheid> They're completely helpless to do anything either, as any attempts to open the doors do nothing.
23:26 <Schism> Then the elevator dings. Someone who's unsubjected to those screams walks in, and is wondering why everyone is staring at them in sheerest hunger.
23:26 <Cepheid> Heh.
23:26 <Cepheid> It's one thing to take a conventional theme and apply it.
23:27 <Cepheid> It's another to take multiple themes and combine them into something nightmarish.
23:27 <Schism> Yup. :>
23:27 <Cepheid> Having a background in psychology helps too.
23:27 <Schism> Sociology, in my case.
23:27 <Cepheid> Or at least, psychology of why people flee or fight.
23:27 <Cepheid> Or animals do the same, etc.
23:28 <Cepheid> In other words, knowledge of those instinctual fears.
23:28 <Cepheid> And yes, sociological fears as well.
23:28 <Schism> Or knowledge of how people react in groups. And how they put off the consequences of their actions until it's too late.
