I see your Chess, and I raise you a Tristan chord

[reldnahkram]

"This has got to be one of the few times I'm actually eager to hear some Wagner"

-- think_too_much, in a sentiment I echo.

Take that Chess. Bring it on, nautiluspq and kyree. The power of Wagner compels you.

I don't believe I just wrote that.

One word: Checkmate.

Weren't you going to go be productive?

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

Maybe I have to listen to Tristan for Baroque/Classical.

Or maybe I'm writing a lab while listening to music.

Or maybe none of the above is true...

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

I'll take what's behind Door Number Three!

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

Congratulations. You've won...

...

...a goat.

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

...is it driving a shiny new car?

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

Nope. It's wearing viking horns. It's bleating Wagner.

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. ::puts goat on exhibition for oodles of cash:: ::buys shiny new car::

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

Except that people don't actually like listening to Wagner. And goats are smelly. And it doesn't bleat Wagner very well. So people run away from your goat. The costs of feeding it are mounting. There's no shiny new car for you.

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

You can't run anywhere, can you? ::leaves goat in Mark's room::

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

/me *SQUISH*es goat.

Anyone want a goatburger?

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

::whimper:: As long as you don't touch the baby pandas...

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

*SQUISH*

Anyone want a pandaburger?

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

This, sir, means war.

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

Bring it on. Do you know how satisfying it would be to *SQUISH* a tank? And I have 3 more discs of Tristan. And it's not due back in Underhill for a week.

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'd like to see you try.

And I'm immune to Tristan after Music 22. But are *you* immune to the wide arsenal of musicals I have at my disposal?

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

Where by immune you mean you choose to ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist? I could get more Wagner out of Underhill, but I don't think anybody wins in that scenario. But then there's Verdi, and Rossini, and worse. Remember, I put all of the listening for opera class together - I have a consistant source. Don't make me bust out Wozzeck, which Barbara calls the most depressing opera ever.

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

How long could you ignore it being blasted outside your door 24/7?

I laugh at Verdi and Rossini!

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

My speakers go louder than yours do. Or maybe I'll just beat you with a hockey stick. Or maybe the panda pelt on the door will reduce you to a quivering, crying heap, unable to continue fighting. That's how it works, you know. You *SQUISH* it. You eat it. You put the pelt on your door.

mmm...pandaburger...

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

a) Speakers can be broken.
b) I'm more mobile than you.
c) I...I...::whimper:: ::looks at live baby panda pictures::

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

In order for a to happen, you'll need to get into my room. Look at c, then ask yourself how you're going to get past the door. Also, it locks.

Consider c. Now, when you're lying on the floor crying, how easy will it be to overcome obstacle b.

mmm...pandaburger

[uncleamos]

Take this to [debate].

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

Luckily, I just happen to have a set of Masterwork thieves' tools!

::closes eyes:: ::walks past door:: ::wields sword::

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

But do you have ranks in open lock? And how are you going to defeat the chain (I know, I know, a file or saw)? I'll just move the desk and dresser in front of the door. That'll stop you.

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

Why, yes I do.

Bathroom. Also, window and ninja roommate.

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

Prove it.

The couch blocks the doorway, the desk and dresser block the bathroom. Or I just get Chris and Marten on my side and have them block their door as well. I'll lock the windows. Maybe I'll electrify the frames too, or just rig the heater to blow live steam if anyone tries to enter that way.

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

The DM says I do.

Then I'll sit there and wait until you attempt to exit your room.

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

I'm not asking about Mab, I'm asking about you.

I'll build a teleporter.

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

Gimme some time on the Internet and a bit of practice and I'll get some ranks.

You'll run out of food before you finish it.

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

You'll run out of food waiting for me to run out of food. Besides, it's already done.

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I can leave the hallway/get other people to fetch it for me. You cannot, as there will always be a guard at your door.

Prove it.

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

I'll have a basket I can lower out the window for food. People will fetch food for me.

The power grid isn't strong enough. More power lines will need to be run to ML before I can power up the machine. I'd blow all of the transformers from here to Limerick (where there's a nuke) trying to teleport any significant distance. Also, I need to get it on the network in order to be able to configure it to teleport me back from places, and ITS is reluctant to netreg it.

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

I'll post another guard to watch for the basket and steal it.

You're depending on ITS in order to get your teleporter working? Need I say more?

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

You're putting your faith in other people to bring you food? And to not help me instead of you? I fear you underestimate the allure of the pandaburger.

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

Y'know, some people oppose killing cute, fuzzy, baby endangered species. I have all that is right on my side!

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

Hah.

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

::waves baby panda flag::

[sildra.livejournal.com]

Mmm... pandaburger. I used to be a vegetarian...

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

This just made my night.

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

...I give up.

[rose_garden.livejournal.com]

Don't mind me, just felt the need to comment.

[wayman.livejournal.com]

Same here :-) I wonder what happens when comments go off the right margin of the page....

[ccommack]

Already done (1024x768 iBook). It's rather strange.

[crystalpyramid]

You should get blaketh to netreg it by making my computer imitate it until ITS kicks me (but not you or him) off the network.

Did I mention my computer's video is now broken due to "minor improvements"? And here it seemed like leaving him alone in my room was a good idea...

[irilyth]

Heck, take it to THS.

[tirerim.livejournal.com]

Yeah... Wagner is pretty sexy. :-)

[wayman.livejournal.com]

Du luktar som en get.
