01:26 <ADragonDreaming> no no. -1*(cha mod). So a -4 cha mod means the armor gives +4 to AC.
01:27 <Ali> No, you can't turn my own logic against me!
01:27 <Sunrise_Flare> I think you have more CHA than you think Ali
01:27 * Ali sits on Sunrise_Flare and puffycheeks
01:29 <Sunrise_Flare> like 13 CHA, 15 INT, maybe like 10 STR, 12 DEX, 9 CON, 15 WIS

03:50 <Finwe> It should not be 7 a.m. :/
03:52 <Finwe> And it's much possible that because of COVID this outrageous clock adjustment hassle does not end this year, as was originally promised.
04:03 <Cepheid> Morning.
04:03 <Finwe> Should be night, but yes, morning.
04:08 <Cepheid> One could argue that because it is after 12:00 AM, that it is morning.
04:13 <Finwe> Morning is the time from sunrise to something, where the something is very indefinite.
04:15 <Finwe> From sunrise to noon seems to be a rather common definition.
04:16 <Finwe> Here it's sround 10 or 11 a.m. when people switch greeting from good morning to good day.
04:17 <Finwe> Good afternoon is not used in Finnish, but it can be used in Swedish.
04:18 <Finwe> and after 6 p.m. it's evening

06:21 <Cepheid> ... Oh, hey, I got a reasonably rare achievement in Dishonored 2 on my second attempt of the Clockwork Mansion.
06:21 <Cepheid> Apparently there's an achievement for taking out Jindosh without him ever knowing you were in his mansion.
06:23 * Ali is in lap kitty jail. Doesn't know or understand why Luna is doing this suddenly, but certainly isn't upset by this.
06:24 <Ali> Cepheid, do you think cats can be scared of storms?
06:24 <Cepheid> Oh, definitely.
06:24 <Cepheid> Spitfire hates storms.
06:24 <Cepheid> He freaks when he hears thunder.
06:25 <Ali> Cause over the last few days, we've had two storms/wind events
06:25 <Ali> And during that time, she's come to me and curled up on my lap to lay down
06:25 <Ali> This is the longest she's ever been on my lap at almost 90 minutes
06:26 <Ali> Legs are getting a tad twitchy for being in this position that long without moving, but I don't want to upset her.
06:27 <Cepheid> Yep, that can happen.
06:29 <Ali> And she finally got up. time to stretch out
06:29 <Cepheid> See, that's why I don't mind cats not being on my lap.
06:30 <Cepheid> When they get on my lap, they don't get off anytime soon, and eventually...
06:35 <Ali> Well Luna is not a lap cat and this is the first time in like a year and a half she decided to sit on my lap and stay for reasonable amounts of time.

06:49 <Cepheid> Hum, some bone charms to improve my agility. One increases climbing speed. Another decreases recovery time from falls. Let's make one that allows me to move more quickly when my tools are sheathed.
06:51 <Cepheid> Not a HUGE boost, but still a boost.
06:51 <Cepheid> So, let's see...
06:52 <Cepheid> There's a bonecharm on the first floor, which will be tricky to get to. It's apparently in the main atrium, which is swarming with critters and enemies.
06:53 <Cepheid> Actually, it looks like it's in the lobby, which might be a bit easier to get to.

06:59 <Cepheid> Man I really misplaced that bonecharm. It was in the basement. And what happened to it, Golden?
06:59 <Golden> Fell out of my pocket at work, and well
07:01 <Cepheid> Oof.
07:01 <Cepheid> How bad is the damage?
07:05 <Cepheid> What? No words of wisdom, beating clockwork heart of the dead? Nothing about that unusual terrifying thing?
07:09 <Golden> The damage is.... basically broken from the bottom right, and up. I am lucky I can still type on it.
07:09 <Cepheid> Hum.
07:10 <Cepheid> Tentacle monstrosities do not like being shot, but three bolts kills 'em good.
07:14 <Cepheid> Well that's annoying. I can't sleep this target.
07:16 <Cepheid> Ah, that's how I non-lethally kill her.
07:17 <Finwe> I,ve seen tentecled monstrosities in Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, didn't know they existed elsewhere as well.
07:18 <Cepheid> These things apparently act as spotters.
07:18 <Cepheid> If I get too close, they call enemies.
07:20 <Cepheid> Looks like... I got about 10 seconds to swap stuff in and out.
07:23 <Cepheid> ... Wrong bolt there.

07:38 * Finwe redoffs his hat.
07:38 <Cepheid> Oh, nice. I got perfect stealth and perfect non-lethality.
07:39 <Cepheid> What do ye mean I missed 2 bonecharms?
07:39 <Finwe> It should be 9:39, but because of some devious plan it's 10:39 already.
07:39 * Cepheid reloads.
07:40 <Cepheid> Ali: Ideally, my preferred cat situation is cat curled up next to me, ironically.
07:40 <Golden> Hehe
07:40 <Cepheid> Cat on my lap creates problems.
07:40 <Ali> Luna is acting strange I feel
07:40 <Ali> She's in the floor in my room just laying there
07:41 <Cepheid> ... Okay, so according to the heart, I got all the bonecharms, so why is the end-of-mission report saying otherwise?
07:46 <Cepheid> Oh.
07:46 <Cepheid> Dangit, I gotta go back in.
07:48 <Cepheid> Shoulda looted the target's body.
08:00 <Cepheid> ... So make a decision of allying with a bunch of thugs who demand protection money from the weak, or... a bunch of religious extremists known for their subpar treatment of the people
08:00 <Cepheid> ... Hell of a choice.
08:01 <ConfusionRift> Pick your poison.
08:02 <Cepheid> I wonder if I can cut the head off of both serpents.
08:04 <Cepheid> Ugh, the start of this mission is... bad.
08:06 * Finwe pets Ali's cats.
08:14 <Cepheid> "Or find another way"
08:14 <Cepheid> So I can just leave the two.
08:14 <Cepheid> ... Or kill both.
08:15 <Cepheid> As a stealthy player, I feel like I should have picked up this skill sooner rather than later.
08:15 <Finwe> Kill both cats? You brute!
08:16 <Cepheid> Shadow Walk, assume a stealthier form.
08:17 <Cepheid> Not the cats, Finwe.
08:17 <Cepheid> Butchers.
08:17 <Finwe> Ah, carry on then.
08:18 <Cepheid> Oh, a puzzle. Okay then.
08:19 <Cepheid> Let's see if I can solve this.
08:20 <Cepheid> Hoo boy.
08:23 <Finwe> What ho?
08:32 <Cepheid> Man, this is a tricky puzzle.
08:32 <Cepheid> Here, lemme take a screenshot.
08:32 * Cepheid is actually no good at such puzzles.
08:32 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/zZpOfsV.png
08:35 * ConfusionRift recoils at the puzzle.
08:36 <Cepheid> The solutions requires that I position the people accordingly on the upper row, while placing their possessions accordingly on the lower row.
08:37 <Finwe> Seems easy enough.
08:37 <Cepheid> For you perhaps.
08:37 <ConfusionRift> I'm horrible at these.
08:38 <Cepheid> Ah, okay.
08:39 <Cepheid> The top row, has to be Contee, person in Green, person in Purple, person in White, then person in Blue.
08:39 <Cepheid> No.
08:40 <Cepheid> I feel like there's information missing here.
08:40 <Finwe> Contee - green - purple - white, and the doctor in blue opposite to them.
08:40 <Finwe> Or is Doctor Marcolla a lady as well?
08:41 <Cepheid> They're all women.
08:41 <ConfusionRift> "The women sat in a row."
08:42 <ConfusionRift> There's no mention of a man.
08:42 <Cepheid> It's implied by that they are all women.
08:42 <Finwe> So five people sitting in one row.
08:42 <ConfusionRift> Yep.
08:43 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (FourthChoic@Pony-ub7st0.tpgi.com.au)
08:43 <RazorSharpFang> Hey heys
08:43 <Cepheid> Hey Razor.
08:43 <Finwe> Contee - green - (blue) - purple - white - (blue) then.
08:43 <RazorSharpFang> Just did lunch cooking for the next two weeks.
08:43 <Finwe> Unless "left of" doesn't mean "directly left of".
08:43 <ConfusionRift> So five individuals in a row, with a secondary row used to represent who was carrying what.
08:44 <ConfusionRift> They said "far left", so i assume it's left-most.
08:44 <Cepheid> THe complicated part is the names aren't given for several of them.
08:44 <Finwe> That's clear, but purple left of white.
08:44 <Cepheid> So I feel there's information missing.
08:44 <ConfusionRift> But yeah, "left of" is vague.
08:45 <Finwe> Could have the one in blue sitting in between, and purple would still be left of white.
08:45 <ConfusionRift> Are the puzzle pieces color coded, named, or just figures?
08:45 <Finwe> Although not adjacent.
08:45 <Cepheid> The pieces are named.
08:45 <Cepheid> Not color-coded.
08:45 <ConfusionRift> ...crud.
08:45 <Cepheid> Which means there is definitely information missing.
08:46 <Cepheid> Let's see..
08:46 <Cepheid> We got Marcolla, Winslow, Finch, and Natsiou.
08:46 <Finwe> And we have Baleton + blue + Bird Pendant.
08:46 <Cepheid> And we also have Contee.
08:47 <Cepheid> Are we sure about that though, Finwe? The one from Baleton specifically mentions that the pendants from Baleton are finer, which means the bird pendant does not belong to her.
08:47 <Cepheid> It belongs to the person sitting next to blue.
08:47 <Finwe> Ah, right, I didn't read it carefully enough.
08:47 <ConfusionRift> Wait...
08:47 <Finwe> The one who citicised was from Baleton.
08:48 <Cepheid> I have at least three clues from it. We have a bird pendant, someone named Finch, and someone from Baleton, who is familiar with jewelry.
08:49 <Cepheid> Finch + Bird Pendant. I'm inclined to believe Natsiou is wearing green based on her absinthism.
08:49 <Cepheid> Green Fairy and all that.
08:50 <ConfusionRift> "I remember that purple outfit because the woman SPILLED her whiskey all over it. The traveler from Baleton WAS dressed entirely in blue." Am I over analyzing that?
08:51 <Cepheid> I don't think so.
08:51 <Cepheid> The woman who spilled the whiskey is the same one who almost spills their rum.
08:53 <ConfusionRift> The fact they're stating their drinks might be something.
08:53 <Cepheid> Wait.
08:53 <Cepheid> There's a missing color in the lineup.
08:53 <Cepheid> Who's the one wearing red?
08:54 <ConfusionRift> Winslow?
08:54 <Cepheid> Yeah, but in the above lineups, red isn't mentioned.
08:55 <ConfusionRift> These puzzles always leave a missing value for you to figure out, or leave you in doubt. -_-
08:55 <Cepheid> I actually wonder if it's just a ruse. But it seems to match up with the actual puzzle device.
08:55 <Cepheid> But, like I said, I feel like there's something missing. So maybe I should explore.
08:55 <Finwe> Well, there's enough information to figure out who wore red, so it's not missing in that sense.
08:56 <ConfusionRift> The issue is where does she sit.
08:57 <Finwe> On one of the three rightmost seats.
09:05 <Finwe> If we interpret "left of" as "left of and adjacent to", then the colours from left to right are r/b, green, r/b, purple, white.
09:08 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-ql3n3l.4nua.5fca.1702.2600.IP) (Quit: Leaving)
09:08 <Finwe> Then we know that the lady from Fraeport sits left of the middle seat.
09:08 <Finwe> Or we can deduce, rather.
09:11 <Finwe> Then the lady with a diamond must have rum in her glass.
09:11 <Finwe> or beer
09:25 <Finwe> Oh, I've been blind.
09:25 <Finwe> The order of colours is of course blue, green, red, purple, white.
09:26 <Finwe> And names have to be Contee - ? - Winslow - ? - ?.
09:27 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (FourthChoic@Pony-ub7st0.tpgi.com.au) (Connection closed)
09:27 <Finwe> It should get easier towards the solution, when there are less alternatives.
09:29 <Cepheid> The gear of this game heavily geared towards killing not being non-lethal.
09:35 <Cepheid> I can see a bone charm, but I can't get to it because I need a key. I don't know where the key is.
09:42 <Cepheid> Well, there's how to get in. Now I just need to get it.
09:42 <Cepheid> Fortunately, I overdid it with knocking out people so this area's pretty much clean now.
09:52 <Cepheid> ... So for some unusual reason, a guard just up and shoots a dog, creating a scene.
09:54 <Cepheid> It's weird how it happens too.
09:54 <Cepheid> The dog's just fine and dandy, walking about around the guard.
09:54 <Cepheid> Then all of a sudden the guard pulls his gun out, shoots the dog, and pulls a swarm of guards.
10:03 <Finwe> We can also deduce that Cepheid has 16:9 display.
10:03 <Cepheid> Yes. :P
10:13 <Cepheid> Ah, got the solution. Found it through knocking everyone else out.
10:16 <Cepheid> And I can take care of the two people at once.

10:19 <Dappled> So I nkow the horn is easier than it was in World, but is it just straight easy mode now?
10:19 * Dappled feels like he's plowing through enemies too fast.
10:19 * Finwe hats on Dappled.
10:19 * Dappled hugs Finwe.
10:23 <Cepheid> Wait, why do I have hostiles killed?
10:23 <Cepheid> Dappled: Village quests are easy.
10:23 <Cepheid> Like, really easy.
10:24 <Dappled> Ah.
10:24 <Dappled> That would explain it.
10:25 <Cepheid> It's been that way for as long as I can remember, village quests typically are the easiest of the bunch.
10:25 <Cepheid> It's the hub/guild quests that create trouble.
10:35 <Cepheid> Time for lunch.
10:35 * Dappled will just have to be the best then.
10:36 <Cepheid> I also need a break from stealthy-stealthy.
10:40 <Cepheid> I gather Dappled you never played old world games.
10:42 * Dappled 's never gotten to high rank in any of GU. That's my exte t.
10:43 <Cepheid> Basically, you want to do the village quests. And the hub quests. This designer likes to mix requests among both. Those requests unlock food and stuffs.
10:45 * Dappled is 3 star in village.
10:47 <Cepheid> Same as me then.
10:47 <Dappled> If Hub is the harder stuff, esp. Solo, I'll get better armor first.
10:47 <Cepheid> It is indeed the harder stuff.
10:48 <ConfusionRift> Guild quests normally expect you to jump in with a team.
10:49 <Cepheid> The game even recommends this.
10:49 <ConfusionRift> Despite this game have scaling, I'm sure it's the same norm.
10:49 * Lumindia awakens, boops a dappled one
10:50 <Cepheid> Well lets see what Kiranico says.
10:51 <Cepheid> Great Baggi has 1920 HP in village 2*.
10:51 <Cepheid> In hub 1*, 5160
10:53 <Cepheid> Currently, the highest HP is...
10:53 <Cepheid> 31540
10:54 <Cepheid> That's before scaling.
10:54 <Cepheid> Also slightly less than 1/2 of Fatalis.
10:55 <Cepheid> Top-end monsters have health values close to that of...
10:56 * Dappled becomes scared.
10:56 <Cepheid> M3* to M4*
10:56 <Cepheid> And this is before G-rank, which will inevitably appear.
10:58 <Cepheid> So, for the time being, fewer monsters to hunt than MH:World Iceborne, but harder than would be expected.
11:00 * ConfusionRift feels they went back to the old days.
11:00 <ConfusionRift> That's kinda how it was.
11:00 <Cepheid> Well, they certain drew inspiration from the old days, I mean..
11:01 <Cepheid> Two areas, remastered for it.

14:27 <Cepheid> I missed one rune on that mission. Eff it, not going back. I'm just gonna keep moving on. I'm sure it won't bite me in the arse too hard.
14:35 <Schism> I will go mad, completely and totally mad, all the STUPID PEOPLE ARE IN FORCE TODAY
14:36 <RazorSharpFang> Schism, are you doing support again/still ?
14:36 <Schism> Oh yes, that's my lot right now.
14:37 <RazorSharpFang> Most of the folk I deal with are reasonably tech-literate, except the folk from South Africa.
14:37 <Schism> Also, it's a Sunday. We're terminally understaffed on Sundays, because after all, who ever calls on a Sunday morning at 7 AM?
14:38 <RazorSharpFang> "Oh boy, 7 AM on a sunday!" *calls tech support*
14:38 <Schism> Website support in this case, not just tech. Some technical assistance, but mostly 'Why did this item sell out so fast?!"
14:38 <Cepheid> Apparently, animal kills do not count as assassinations.
14:39 <Schism> Or, "I put my address into the system wrong, why can't you change it, this is all your fault!"
14:41 <Schism> ApplePay and PayPal are on my list of Things To Fix. And by 'Fix', I mean 'drop a meteor on their godsforsaken servers'.
14:42 <RazorSharpFang> I wonder what software it's written in
14:42 <Schism> As interesting as might be, no matter what software those two are written in, they autofill the address with the earliest one they have on record.
14:43 <Schism> I have had PayPal purchases made where the shipping address somehow manages to be one at which a customer hasn't lived for a decade.
14:43 <RazorSharpFang> Earliest being the first one chronologically?
14:43 <Schism> Indeed.
14:43 <RazorSharpFang> I actually had a paypal purchase dispatched to our office address - they worked there 4+ years ago
14:44 <RazorSharpFang> It was $142 AUD of women's shoes. (One pair)
14:44 <Schism> Question.
14:44 <RazorSharpFang> I still can't believe how expensive those shoes were.
14:44 <Schism> Were those a pair of Run Star Hikes.
14:44 <RazorSharpFang> They were not.
14:45 <Schism> Okay. Because I was about to scream and leap out a window.
14:45 <RazorSharpFang> Also, this is Australia.
14:45 <Schism> Our company does have an Australian presence.
14:45 <RazorSharpFang> Also, I phoned the lady in question because thankfully she had her current mobile number on the invoice.
14:46 <RazorSharpFang> Last I heard from her is that she ordered a pickup courier and incurred another shipping fee to get it picked up and dispatched to her house.
14:46 <Schism> Were they, however, from this company?
14:46 <RazorSharpFang> I don't know which company they were from.
14:46 <Schism> Oh well. At least she got them...
14:47 <Schism> $142 AUD isn't too far off the mark for some of our stuff.
14:47 <Schism> And in fact is less expensive than many of what we offer.
14:47 <RazorSharpFang> I did take a photo of the invoice initially, but I had deleted it for privacy reasons.
14:47 <RazorSharpFang> So I can't say anymore.
14:47 <Schism> Sane enough.
14:49 <Schism> Ugh, back to work for another chunk of the long long day. 8 hours remain.
14:52 <RazorSharpFang> Are you starting work now?
14:52 <RazorSharpFang> I guess it is that time in Canada
15:01 <Finwe> Should be about 10 a.m..

15:05 <Cepheid> 11 AM.
15:06 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, do you know any way in C# of formalising the idea that Func(A,B) is equivalent to Func(B,A) ?
15:07 <Cepheid> If I understand what you are asking, then the simplest way is to implement one method with one signature, then implement the other method with the different signature, and just have it call the first method, with the appropriate parameters switched.
15:07 <Finwe> Cepheid: Depends on which Canada.
15:08 <Finwe> In Vancouver it should be 8 a.m..
15:09 <Finwe> In Newfoundland something like half past twelve.

19:04 <Finwe> Miss Ali.
19:04 * Finwe doffs his hat.
19:04 * Ali flops over the Finwe and yawnsies
19:05 * Finwe puts a mango into Ali's gaping muzzle.
19:05 * Ali squeaks, is not a bat pono
19:06 <Schism> HehehehEHEhehehhehe.
19:06 <Schism> We have a troll caller today.
19:06 <Finwe> o3o
19:06 <Finwe> Did you cast a counterbait?
19:06 <Schism> So whenever we get him, I've told all the T1s to respond to him in a professional, chirpy, lightweight, GARRULOUS manner.
19:07 <Schism> "HI! How can I HELP you today with your issue?~!"
19:07 <Schism> This seems to be effective. o3o
19:20 <ADragonDreaming> troll in wat sense?
19:25 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net)
19:25 <PinkieShy> So far my allergies isn't acting up like they usually do with me sneezing alot lol
19:26 <PinkieShy> I've probably been off my allergy meds for 3 days now..
19:26 <PinkieShy> Usually would be sneezing up a storm.. Hopefully that means the mask outside helps
19:29 <Schism> ADragonDreaming, He's called back no fewer than 45 times in the last day, creeping on female agents and generally making a nuisance of himself, refusing to hang up the call in many circumstances.
19:30 <Schism> While we are working on blocking his number, in the interim, I have suggested to the fellow agents that they be polite, _GARISHLY_ upbeat, and unwilling to put up with his (#$*.
19:31 <Schism> This has been a great source of entertainment, wherein many of my fellows who are normally deadpan and professional get to play the game writ large.
19:52 <Finwe> You're lucky! Full moon tonight! You hear a jackal howling at the moon.
20:48 * Dappled horse.
20:50 * Ali drags Dappled under the blankets for snugs
20:54 * Dappled snugs the Ali for being a friend pone.
21:02 <Schism> aughezcblcxvibhvcnbblnih...
21:04 <Ali> That's one annoyed pono
21:04 * Ali pats the Schism
21:08 <Schism> It's mostly just my usual response to a Sunday.
21:08 <Schism> I'm less annoyed by the troll, which I'm starting to think is the best thing that's ever happened to me on a Sunday.
21:15 <Schism> And the countertroll works perfectly. Every time he calls in and a T1 responds with a happy, chirpy, peppy tune, he slams down the phone like it's a handegg in an endzone.
21:17 <Ali> They could respond with the age old classic troll line
21:17 <Ali> U mad bro?
21:21 <Schism> Funny thing, I'm really not mad. (Nor a bro, but that's neither here no there.) Rather, they're wasting a lot more of their time than ours. We get paid.
21:21 <Schism> And we've been responding with great deals of aplomb and amusement, and being utterly professional.
21:22 <Schism> They can't do a damn thing. So... they mad, bro? o3o
21:24 <Ali> That's the point
21:25 <Ali> I mean, if you're making a troll mad
21:25 <Ali> then you're trolling the troll, even when you're not really trolling
21:25 * Dappled just waits for Sunrise. That fixes trolls right good.
21:26 <Schism> I suppose so. But really, what we're doing is fulfilling the purpose of our professional involvement with the client, and ensuring that the person in question is spending about 5 minutes on hold each time they call us, only to get through to one of us and give us a 30 minute respite from the general population.
21:26 <Schism> Ahem, 30 second respite*
21:27 <Schism> Hardly overwrought.
21:28 <Schism> By taking them off our call queue time and again and instead working with proper customers, we're being decent employees.
21:29 <Schism> And so, doing so time and again in the most efficient manner, well.
21:29 * Schism flops back to work for her last hour and a half.
21:39 * Ali nibbles on the Dappled ear
21:40 * Dappled ear flaps at the Ali. Offers pizza.
21:40 * Dappled also offers a cat who will lay on you, but complain when you try to pet her.
21:42 <Ali> Luna is behaving strangely Dappled
21:42 <Ali> She's back on my lap for the fourth time in about a week
21:42 <Dappled> This is good though.
21:42 <Ali> It is
21:42 <Ali> But its confusing as I don't understand the reason behind this sudden shift in behavior
21:43 <Dappled> Have you been giving them more space?
21:43 <Ali> Space as in what?
21:43 <Ali> I don't and can't really pick them up, they really dislike that and flail wildly
21:44 <Dappled> In my experience if you ingore a cat they will often want your attention. If you want to give a kitty attention, they will move away till they're ready.
21:44 <Ali> Yeah I don't force her up here
21:44 * Dappled will just sit in front of his computer. Kitties show up for cuddles.
21:45 <Ali> I encourage her up but I leave it up to her if she wants to lay down or not
21:49 * Dappled is not allowed to pet two kitties though. If one kitty was there and second kitty gets within range, first kitty will leave.
21:53 <PinkieShy> Power might go out
21:53 <PinkieShy> It sounds like heavy winds outside right now and heavy rain and bad bad thunder and lightning
21:59 <Ali> The second one doesn't come around often but Luna seems content holding her ground
22:00 <Ali> Even when the third one shows up
22:00 * PinkieShy licks Ali
22:00 * Ali squeaks
22:00 <PinkieShy> aww :3

23:33 * Ali just wonders how much longer that ship will be stuck
23:33 * Dappled hugs a Sunrise_Flare. This si also a good friend pone.
23:34 <Dappled> Well given the fact that the last big mistake that company did is still visible near 30 years later, no telling.
23:34 <Dappled> There are a lot of rubber duckies in the ocean.
23:37 <Finwe> o3o
23:37 * Finwe noms on Ali.
23:38 <Finwe> !lullaby
23:38 * DerpyBot carries Finwe off to bed
23:38 * DerpyBot tucks Finwe in and hums a lullaby
23:38 <Finwe> !shoo
23:38 * DerpyBot sways from side to side, quietly humming "shoo be doo shoo shoo be doo"
23:38 <Finwe> Good night, everypony!
23:38 * Finwe curls up on Dappled and snoozes.
23:47 * Dappled is a good bed.
23:47 <Schism> Why is my hair rimed with frost?
23:47 * Dappled is to lazy to ever not be soft.
23:47 <Dappled> Cause cold?
23:47 <Schism> It's March 68. Why is it snowing?
23:48 <Finwe> It's actually September 10072 1993.
23:48 <Dappled> Victor Friez is holding up a bank?
23:48 <Finwe> Or September 10071 for you.
23:49 * Schism looks at Finwe. "Yes, or alternately, it's Boomtime Discord 14th, YOLD 3187."
23:49 <Finwe> Discord 15 here.
23:49 <Finwe> Being a Pungenday.
23:49 * Ali rolls her eyes
23:49 <Schism> Swell, it's the 14th here. >>
23:49 * Finwe counter-rolls his eyes at Ali.
23:50 <Schism> Meantime, I'm of half a mind to simply sleep...
23:51 <Dappled> Sleep is important.
23:51 <Finwe> It's also COVID 383.
23:52 <Finwe> The 383rd day after COVID-19 was declared pandemic by WHO.
23:53 <Finwe> Maybe the third year of lockdown will bring some hope of this madness ending. o3o
23:54 * Ali hisses
23:54 * Dappled can't wait for the second poke.
23:55 * Ali pokes Dappled twice, she do it right?
23:57 <Dappled> Yes, but actually no.
23:57 * Dappled must get poked on friday in two weeks.
