Nov 24, 2003 12:17:53 The following is a random posting on mine and Primus's part that suggests some fan-work on what a conversation between Primus and Center-Of-All might go like. AIM screennames have been changed to fit the characters:

*****

Center Of All: It is very upsetting. I may have to go yell at Her for allowing such a place to exist.
Primus: Anything with the word Epic ends up being quite shoddy
Primus: I'd say you were a barmy if you were anyone but a Rilmani
Center Of All: And then all the Epic supporters think that everything can be solved with Epic skills.
Primus: ::
Center Of All: Lucky for me that I am Rilmani. *grin*
Primus: Yes, quite lucky that
Center Of All: If She gives me any lip, though, I'll just take care of the city myself eventually.
Center Of All: That'd be something interesting to write about for Planewalker...the Rilmani taking out Union.
Primus: I like how you act as if she is merely an unimportant underling, yet you still capitalize the S.
Primus: That would be
Primus: I also want to write my "And first there was Law..." write-up, Evil and Good get far too much credit
Center Of All: Indeed.
Primus: Have you ever listened to the gear of Regulus as it spins? Its beautiful in the most ordered way possible. Its like a perfectly played orchestra filled with emotion but not one note out of place
Center Of All: It is beautiful only in one ear. My other ear cares only for the endless randomness of Limbo.
Primus: I think you Rilmani are all mad, you just don't know it. I wouldn't doubt that Rilmani dislike people int heir realms because, more often than not, the Rilmani spend their time talking to inanimate objects
Center Of All: This from the being who is a lord over clockwork objects. Perhaps you're right. I'm talking to you, after all.
Primus: touche. ::Smirks::
Primus: I;m curious, are there any of your ilk infiltrating my ranks? I do not believe that such a thing is possible, though some small amount of doubt has enterred my thoughts as of late
Center Of All: If there were, do you honestly believe I'd tell you?
Primus: no
Center Of All: So why ask?
Primus: to see what your answer would be of course
Primus: why ask anything?
Center Of All: There was no clockwork structure to your reason? How uncharacteristically random of you, Primus.
Primus: ::shrug:: Perhaps, Center, perhaps.
Center Of All: *takes out his Orcus and Primus plush toys and engages in mock battle between them*
Primus: there is clockwork order to everything I do, Center, even when it appears random. :takes out his Worf toy and removes its clothing. Then he melts it.:: look, its a Rilamni.
Center Of All: *has the Orcus toy eat the Primus toy* Alas, if only that battle had gone more like this...
Primus: You know, for the being that controls the underlying gears of the entire multiverse you'd think I'd garner a bit more respect.
Center Of All: You're talking to the one who sits at the Center of All. My name is more than just a name, you know. I'm in a position more worthy of respect than someone who manages a bunch of would-be clocks.
Primus: You know, I still have no proof you are who you say you are/ before a few weeks ago noone had any proof that you even existed.
Center Of All: Would you like me to have Her appear and prove it for me?
Center Of All: If you like, we can take a trip to the top of the Spire and have tea with Her for a while.
Primus: And the capitalization again. But no, I believe you, as I've never heard anyone but a Rilmani cackle in a balanced manner.
Primus: If you'd really like that, I suggest you start climbing I shall catch up with you soon.
Center Of All: Tut. Can you survive at the Spire? *smirk* You know what my homelands do to your kind.
Primus: I can survive just fine. I know of no planar affect of the Outlands that affects the Modrons.
Center Of All: But you're not just a Modron. You're a deity.
Primus: true. My powers would be anulled, but what does danger mean to me? I am Modron, not some lesser being, as long as Mechanus lives we all live.
Center Of All: *chuckles with balance* Now, the question is, can you climb the Spire?
Primus: Hm, I do not know, I haven't left this energy pool in so long it is quite probable that I completely lack a lower torso.
Center Of All: I suppose I may have to carry you, then. Non-rilmani have never been able to climb the Spire on their own power.
Primus: We both know that Rilmani cannot climb the Spire anymore than Shemeska can ignore her own reflection.
Center Of All: Do we, now? Just how many Rilmani do you know?
Primus: One more than is good for me.
Center Of All: *smirks* Indeed. And just how much do you know about us?
Primus: Enough.
Center Of All: Exactly what I thought.
Primus: I believe that I have told you that you are infuriating.
Center Of All: Oh yes. Believe it or not, we don't deliberately try to be. It just comes as part of our job.
Primus: I see.
Center Of All: I'm sure it also earns us the envy and anger of many that we are at peak power where all others are annulled.
Primus: perhaps. Some would say that you rule nothing compared to the beauties of Mechanus
Primus: but to each is own, that seems to be the running theme of this multiverse
Center Of All: "Some" do not understand the purpose we work toward, either. Nor just how far our arms reach.
Primus: You Rilmani have a tendency of making yourselves seem very superior
Primus: whenever anyone has a question you have an answer
Center Of All: That's because we are.
Primus: it makes this whole multiversal mystique a bit, well, passe when someone has all the answers
Center Of All: Just because we have the answers doesn't mean you all can understand them.
Primus: So how is the Spire? Still infinite?
Center Of All: Always. And there are still the sodding berks who come to try and climb it.
Primus: do they ever just fall off and rain down?
Center Of All: They do, but I wouldn't quite call it "raining." Only in extremely rare cases do they come through in large groups. It's usually just one or two sods.
Center Of All: If you'd like to send some modrons out to try, you're more than welcome to. It'd be a nice change of pace since some slaadi and xaositects have been coming by lately.
Primus: Nah, they're kind of busy at the moment.
Center Of All: I'm sure. Did you ever find that monkey wrench, by the way? I could really use it back if you did.
Primus: I'll send it over along with a box of square pies for your trouble
Center Of All: Thank you kindly
Center Of All: Well, the night falls in the Outlands, so I shall go to bed.
Primus: have balanced dreams
Center Of All: You too *smirk*

Nov 24, 2003 20:05:59 Hmm... distressing, Primus and Center-of-All seem to be working more closely than anyone knew. I wonder how this lawful influence will affect the Rilmani.

Nov 24, 2003 20:15:48 From the looks of it, its only making Center want to be more chaotic. *Sigh* We try to be good influences...

Nov 24, 2003 22:23:20 Primus is just better company than the slaadi, that's all. It's much easier to talk to someone who can remain focused than to a slaad lord who can't concentrate on what you're saying long enough to hold a conversation, let alone answer a question.

xanxost_the_slaadi_dup
Nov 24, 2003 22:57:25 Xanxost answers all the time. Most others can't concentrate long enought to ask the right questions! Maybe Rilmani should learn better than to ask Xanxost questions when he's hungry. Unless Xanxost eats the Rilmani, then everyone's happy!

Nov 25, 2003 14:41:42 I love Xanxost... He shares my hatred of Baatezu and is extremely funny. Besides, I've never seen a Rilmani get eaten before.

Maybe I can help you with that. *pulls a startlingly large box from his pants* This is a box of Wind-Up Teeth of Assassination. If you release them in the Outlands in the proper place, I'm sure at least one Rilmani will be devoured.

Shemeska_the_Marauder
Nov 25, 2003 23:42:29 That reminds me very much of a short story by Steven King in the 'Nightmares and Dreamscapes' collection. (I admit I've only read a small number of things by him, but that collection was quite good.) The particular story, whose name escapes me, involved a man and a pair of solid steel walking clacking teeth. You know the little joke teeth that chatter and walk around on little cartoony plastic feet? Those. Well these in that story I'm reminded of were both bloodthirsty and apparently overprotective of their owners.

I suddenly have the image of some of them made in the image of Xanxost running around Mechanus munching on monodrones like PacMan...

(And the only problem about going home for holidays to visit with family you havn't seen for a while is switching from broadband to a dialup connection on your sisters computer. Ugg.)
