 [01:44] AT: ∴ Oh, a fellow musician? in a Half-Blood music forum? ∴

 [01:44] CG: Er...

 [01:44] CG: Hi.

 [01:45] CG: And Uh..Yeah that's me.

 [01:45] AT: ∴ sorry forgive my intrusion, also my presumptiousness, I assumed you are both musically inclinded and also, like me and the band "Gursig Rouius" ∴

 [01:46] AT: ∴ since you commented on liking them. ∴

 [01:46] CG: Oh definitely. it's...really more of a historical respect thing I have for the band.

 [01:47] AT: ∴ Indeed, they're a big source of inspiration for my own project: a philosophically based space post-progrock band ∴

 [01:48] CG: ..uhm..space?

 [01:48] AT: ∴ "A Boundless Eternity Returns" ∴

 [01:48] CG: ookaay. I'm...more the renaissance rock person.

 [01:48] AT: ∴ and yes, well the idea of the infinite vastness of space, worked into music ∴

 [01:49] AT: ∴ Oh, that I can understand, I mean start with fundementals first right? ∴

 [01:49] CG: Well it's quite the step forward. I think...

 [01:49] CG: I figure having commenters and people listening to your music might beget more fans for your fanbase.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:49] AT: ∴ Indeed! and I plan on releasing an album relatively soon. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:50] AT: ∴ I need to record alot of what I've written. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:50] AT: ∴ Also a band would help. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:50] CG: ... wait...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:50] CG: ...I thought you HAVE a band.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:51] AT: ∴ Well, I have my project "aBER" and I have lyrics and ideas for music, ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:51] CG: ...Hmm. Well...maybe I can help a bit?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:52] AT: ∴ Oh? I didn't want to assume you played guitar, but do you think you can play a corde progression and have that looped with stretched audio and ambient sounds? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:53] CG: ...Er...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:53] CG: I can play a guitar yes.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:53] CG: I just didn't imagine you'd be wanting something that detailed so fast.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:54] AT: ∴ well, I can do the mixing, my question was mainly, are you comfortable with other stuff going on while your guitar plays? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:54] AT: ∴ I've known guitarists who want their sound upfront, even if it drowns out the singer ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:54] CG: I don't think I'm that kind of guitarist or any kind of guitarist.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:55] CG: I just play the guitar, tune it up, and try playing it well while listening to FOUNDERS OF KAMELOT

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:55] AT: ∴ Oh FoK, I know them, very bombastic, and their views of archetypes are... well they certainly have them. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:56] CG: Well rock has gone far since the roots of the old times back when jazz was the origin... after that it split into three types. metal, rock, and pop.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:56] CG: and one of the kings of rock is ... well ... a food product i guess.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:56] CG: ...Meatloaf.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:57] AT: ∴ ...fascinating... I had never realized the meat industry of old Earth prevaided the music industry. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:57] CG: uuhhh yeeaahhh...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:58] CG: The human who started it used the term 'meatloaf' as a stage name.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:58] CG: But he had a great singing voice, most likely able to go into opera as a tenner.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:59] AT: ∴ oh, well prehaps a butcher's son who dreamt of more than splitting beeffilled hoof beasts ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:59] CG: Yeah let's go with that...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:00] CG: So...You're going into this music business without knowing its roots?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:00] AT: ∴ Well, music is part of what I want to do, I'm a philosopher at heart, ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:00] CG: More like a philosopher at string from the sound ofi t.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:00] CG: of it*

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:01] CG: giving philosophy through music...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:01] AT: ∴ A good way of looking at it; working a philosophic message into aBER, and launching my music into space ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:02] AT: ∴ If a soul as singular and isolated as I hears it, I want to help with their search for truth, ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:02] AT: ∴ just as I search for truth, whatever it may be ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:02] CG: ...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:02] CG: I really dunno what to say.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:02] AT: ∴ Well, I often say too much, I fear. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:03] CG: No no i mean... Sure trollkind was found to exist outside human kind but ...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:03] CG: what other races are there left to hear sounds?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:03] AT: ∴ Well... Perhaps a race kinder than the sum of our blood, eh? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:03] CG: and isn't...space something where sounds can't be heard?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:03] AT: ∴ ... ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:04] AT: ∴ The ambiant sound of space is a concept... ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:04] CG: Well I mean when you said launch it into space.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:04] CG: But the ambiance of space I understand.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:04] AT: ∴ a recepticle playing the music would be launched into space... ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:05] AT: ∴ ...whatever found the music would need to provide the medium for the sound to travel, I suppose... ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:05] CG: Yeah...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:06] CG: Well I'll be happy to help provide string music.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:06] CG: Regardless of how it turns out.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:07] AT: ∴ well, I can send you sheet music, and if you record it for me, I will share the end product with you. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:07] CG: That'd be very nice.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:07] AT: ∴ You will get full credit, of course. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:07] CG: I imagine that I guess.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:08] AT: ∴ Us "third racers" need to stick together, you know. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:08] CG: Let's not put turns like that on us.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:08] CG: by the way, name's Eddy Malloy.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:08] AT: ∴ Oh, Sorry, I'm Enzo. Enzo Medeis. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:09] CG: Medeis...hmm

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:09] AT: ∴ ...You...you know the name... ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:11] AT: ∴ I assure you, I will not include any notion of Magic in my music. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:12] AT: ∴ except for a song dedicated to the notion that Magic does not exist, and Magicians are frauds. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:12] CG: ...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:12] CG: ...Leon ... Medeis is your dad?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:12] AT: ∴ ... ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:12] CG: ... I am SO sorry ...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:13] AT: ∴ He comes from a different time before Logic, and before reason. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:13] AT: ∴ But he takes care of me, and he loves me. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:13] CG: He's...been mostly the inspiration behind why I love FLARP, second only to my own Fathers famous exploits as a world renown FLARPER

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:14] AT: ∴ Oh... You FLARP? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:14] CG: Excessively.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:15] AT: ∴ Well, and interesting choice, if admittedly a stereotypically feminine trollish sport. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:15] CG: ... Excuse me?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:16] CG: I can respect you don't like it but do know you're talking to someone who is rather deep in the act of it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:16] AT: ∴ I speak mainly from what I've observed of the event pamphlets my father keeps. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:16] CG: they must've been shitty pamphlets...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:16] AT: ∴ Well, be that as it may, you should be careful. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:16] CG: Because the concept behind FLARP is more 'FATAL LIVE ACTION ROLE PLAY'

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:16] CG: Fatal as in i've had mental scars from it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:17] CG: and i think some physical ones...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:18] AT: ∴ again: FeminineTrollish... a hazard when mixed with the zeal to "win treasure" ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:18] CG: Eh heh heh heh... Really...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:19] AT: ∴ Again, I can only speak from observation and analysis, ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:19] AT: ∴ I don't go in for fake adventure. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:19] CG: ... Fake ...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:20] CG: For the love of good grief ...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:20] AT: ∴ Ultimately it is staged, an act for the participents; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:20] AT: ∴ at the end of the day, it's only a game. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:20] CG: E dih'd baceaja ed ...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:21] CG: I can understand how you say it's fake.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:21] CG: To me, it's my only means of escaping reality.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:21] AT: ∴ I...I'm sorry I think for first message was an unfortunate typo. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:22] CG: Oh it's just another language.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:22] CG: DOn't mind it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:22] CG: Don't mind it*

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:22] AT: ∴ Ah, it's none I'm familiar with. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:22] AT: ∴ but, I understand wanting to escape reality; I enjoy Touhou Trollgirl Fighter games. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:23] AT: ∴ Incredible music and shoot 'em ups are easy for me. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:23] CG: I'm more Real time and turn base strategy games.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:23] AT: ∴ despite the horrendously ill dressed magic girls in it... ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:23] CG: ... Ick.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:25] AT: ∴ I suppose we're both antiquated in our own ways. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:25] CG: Me over mideval times and you...well yeah.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:26] AT: ∴ To be fair, most persutes of the flesh are futile, and the old man has his tastes, however gross they may be. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:26] CG: Gross? You should've heard the last troll I talked to. She kept going on and on about...buckets...?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:27] CG: ...I couldn't figure where the reference was going and...I sorta ended up figuring out she was messing with me i think.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:27] AT: ∴ Oh? a Red solicitation? on your first encounter? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:27] CG: Red solicitation?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:28] AT: ∴ I've read about how trolls mate, I don't understand it much, but sounds like you were being winked at ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:28] AT: ∴ admittedly I don't know much, but that sort of romance seems universal. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:28] CG: actually after a while of chatting and turning it around, it turns out she tried making me out as a pervert.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:28] CG: and didn't like me.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:29] CG: So she was just messing with me?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:29] AT: ∴ ah yes, the old feminine bait and switch. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:29] AT: ∴ It is fully possible, if she didn't want to flirt with you again, only to shoot you down again. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:30] CG: Funny thing. last thing she said was, and I quote...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:31] CG: 'I have a curtain call to go to. You should use this time to think about how to treat ladies'.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:31] CG: My response was, in a differnt language she wouldn't understand... 'I will when I see one."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:31] AT: ∴ oh? she's a performer is she? hmmm... ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:35] CG: Probably from the video games you mentioned.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [02:38] CG: Uhm...You could've asked for some lessons in it.
