he does strike me as the sort who would resist being won over
but would be a freidn for life

[and after, it seems]

how did you two meet

[starshepard]

through hythlodaeus
i met him first when we were in academia
we hit it off from the start and he then introduced me to hades
they two have known each other since they were children

[lightduties]

school friends

[Imagine, if you will, exclamation marks at the end.]

that must mean both of you have tales he would be embarrassed to hear retold

[starshepard]

i suppose we would (¬‿¬ )
thouhg hyth would undoubtedly have more

[lightduties]

he does seem the sort to collect such tales
azem and emet selch are titles right
is it custom to use them even outside your work

[starshepard]

they are titles yes
it is
to take up a seat on the convocation is essentially giving up the life we once had
we dedicate ourselves fully to our duties to the star that way
though it doesnt mean those closest to us wont continue to use our old names

why do you ask?

[lightduties]

[Rhea'li pauses, thinking of his own complicated relationship with his numerous titles, and his complicated relationship with the Convocation.]

i wanted to understand why you both use your titles when such things mean little to those not of your star

[It's not the entire reason, though.]

[starshepard]

habit i suppose
but you make a good point that it means very little here

[lightduties]

so do i get to know your name

[Imagine there is a winky face; his magi-comm skills aren't quite so advanced yet]

[starshepard]

hmm
hmmmmmm

[ They leave him hanging with that for a moment before typing out their name. ]

dionysos

[lightduties]

[The anticipation!!]

dionysos

[Well, at least it doesn't seem to be as much of a mouthful as Hythlodaeus or Erichthonios.]

which would you prefer i use
azem or dionysos

[starshepard]

i have to admit
hearing my real name feels more intimate these days
but you are free to use whichever you want

[lightduties]

[hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.]

then i shall keep my decision a surprise
:)

[starshepard]

i do like a surprise

[starshepard]

so how was the trip with emetselch?

[lightduties]

[Oh bugger him!!]

twas interesting
he grumbled much as is his wont
bt i enjoyed the trip

[ thearchitect ]

[emet_sulk]

[ After enough time for Azem and Rhea'li to converse-- ]

You told Azem we returned home together?!

[lightduties]

[Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.]

is this emet selch

[You know, just checking. After Azem took what is very clearly a Hythlodaeus-like user name, he also wouldn't put it past Hythlodaeus to masquerade as Emet-Selch]

[emet_sulk]

Yes, of course it is! Who else did you think I could be?

[lightduties]

well
azems user name sounds like htyhlosdeaus

[emet_sulk]

I see your spelling remains atrocious.

Nevermind that - why would you offer such a foolish falsehood to them? Us being acquaintances is not a stretch of the imagination, even with so many thousands of years between us. But now I have to pretend we are from entirely different worlds?

[lightduties]

[Well that confirms it's definitely not Hythlodaeus. Hythlodaeus wouldn't write him up for something like that! (Probably.)]

my apologies
it was the best i could come up with at the time
but are we not already pretending that our time is not one and the same

[starshepard]

where did he take you?

[lightduties]

[Uhhh................. well the best place to choose would be Elpis, right? It is, after all, the only place in the world unsundered that he's actually seen. The lie would be all the more believable if he can pull from actual experiences, right?]

it was a place with many creations in development
elpis

[starshepard]

[ Hmm, curious. Azem isn't going to call him on it just yet. They're curious as to what he has to say about Elpis. ]

elpis huh?
ive been there a time or two quite an interesting place
what did you like most?
