Steve and the Insanity of Sanctuary

[Cuchir]

So, this is a snippet of kinship chat that happened earlier today, that was, for lack of a better word... insane. Just to keep everyone else's confusion down... Steve is the scroll bar in the kinship panel and we had a long discussion on the varieties of Val's in our kinship (there are 7 characters that start with Val). :)

[Kinship] Valator: Steve is afk....
[Kinship] Darkzen: then whos the new guy
[Kinship] Elmaethor: Dark you logged on JUST at the right time to get crazy confused
[Kinship] Valator: Boedy
[Kinship] Darkzen: isnt boedy steve
[Kinship] Elmaethor: Boedy is new, Steve is not real, and they are not the same person
[Kinship] Valator: He is has that new member smelll
[Kinship] Darkzen: ...
[Kinship] Amandakay: Steve is dead again
[Kinship] Boedy: actually my name is stephen
[Kinship] Darkzen: you know what
[Kinship] Darkzen: i quit
[Kinship] Boedy: lol
[Kinship] Valator: lol
[Kinship] Elmaethor: holy crap it is?
[Kinship] Amandakay: yes, sadly
[Kinship] Elmaethor: Boedy your my new favorite person, just for that!
[Kinship] Valator: That......is awesome
[Kinship] Boedy: that is what mom called me all my life, i hope isn't senile
[Kinship] Darkzen: whoa whoa whoa
[Kinship] Darkzen: his name actually is steve
[Kinship] Elmaethor: wow
Raisin has come online.
[To Kinship] oh my god, stop, i want to get off the floor
[Kinship] Valator: i guess it is:)
[Kinship] Darkzen: wait what was the fake steve talk when i logged on about
[Kinship] Amandakay: look!
[To Kinship] STEVE!!
[Kinship] Elmaethor: this has been one crazy adventure of a conversation
[Kinship] Amandakay: STEVE!!
[Kinship] Valator: He's back!
[Kinship] Elmaethor: Steve is back!
[To Kinship] MY SIDES ARE KILLING ME!
[Kinship] Amandakay: Raisin, you ressurrected STEVE!!!!
[Kinship] Elmaethor: and theres Raisin, we were just talking about you!
[To Kinship] yay raisin! you brought steve with you
[Kinship] Elmaethor: yeah cuch, i'm laughing pretty hard myself
[Kinship] Boedy: I AM SO CONFUSED and apparently I am the reincarnation of steve
[Kinship] Raisin: I bring back all things. That is the magic and the power.
[Kinship] Darkzen: so this is mother ak and father elm making no sense?
[Kinship] Valator: They make perfect sense...
[Kinship] Darkzen: raisin your just in time. you logged on right when steve did
[Kinship] Elmaethor: Dark......I think we all had a part in making this magic....but i think we are all very lost...
[Kinship] Amandakay: no, Elm is my great great great great great grandfather
[Kinship] Raisin: that was no coincidence
[Kinship] Raisin: I planned it that way
[Kinship] Thadeus: Back =D
[Kinship] Elmaethor: see!
[Kinship] Elmaethor: I told you all that Raisin would make sense of it all!
[Kinship] Darkzen: wait why arnt you confused raisin
[Kinship] Darkzen: confused people dont play along
[Kinship] Elmaethor: they didn't believe me, Raisin, but i told them! I told them good!
[Kinship] Valator: that he did
[Kinship] Raisin: I am not confused. I am never confused. I am the clarity of all things.
[Kinship] Raisin: Everything I say makes sense. Sense is defined by the things I say.
[Kinship] Valator: Sun ripened fruit=the truth
[Kinship] Elmaethor: Ok, now everyone has to admit that i was right and Raisin may in fact be god!
[Kinship] Amandakay: NEVER!
[Kinship] Valator: You are right
[Kinship] Darkzen: wait so is the real steve afk? the real steve = rs
[Kinship] Valator: save him.....
[Kinship] Clarko: who is steve?
[Kinship] Clarko: :)
[Kinship] Darkzen: hey clarko
[To Kinship] oh no, not clark too
[Kinship] Raisin: that is an existential question, if ever I saw one, Clarko
[Kinship] Amandakay: your mom is STeve
[To Kinship] you mom goes to college
[Kinship] Darkzen: ak your the kin mom
[Kinship] Elmaethor: wow....when AK said never i had a mental image of her in musketeer guard swinging from a rope with a Rapier
[Kinship] Valator: nice,
[Kinship] Raisin: that's a powerful image. Never let it go.
[Kinship] Raisin: always think of AK that way
[Kinship] Darkzen: still not finished key mapping
[Kinship] Elmaethor: i won't raisin....i won't
[Kinship] Valator: Welcome to the Sanctuary, Boedy....we warned you;)
[Kinship] Amandakay: BAH!
[Kinship] Valator: moo
[Kinship] Boedy: it is all good
[Kinship] Elmaethor: lol, we'll fit you with your straight jacket once this has all sunk in
[Kinship] Amandakay: I did
[Kinship] Amandakay: died
[Kinship] Darkzen: its usually not like this. usually its quite till sum1 asks for help. then ak yells at them, and the chat goes silent again
[Kinship] Amandakay: it's very annoying
[Kinship] Clarko: this is what happens when I leave for 3 months
[Kinship] Clarko: all hell breaks loose
[Kinship] Raisin: I to only speak in Kinship chat when least expected.
[Kinship] Darkzen: its elms fault
[Kinship] Elmaethor: i'm not so sure about that, but i'm quite content with blaming you
[Kinship] Raisin: I try*
[Kinship] Valator: Mater Explorer at level 20:)
[Kinship] Raisin: I also put in random typos so my sentences make less sense
[Kinship] Valator: *master
[Kinship] Clarko: that is key
[Kinship] Elmaethor: but you always make sense!
[Kinship] Raisin: I intend to invent a language in which typos are impossible to make
[Kinship] Darkzen: steve are you alive out there
[Kinship] Elmaethor: lol poor dark
[Kinship] Valator: lol
[Kinship] Darkzen: the new guy is steve
[Kinship] Raisin: why are the new guys always named Steve?
[Kinship] Darkzen: and if hes not he is declared the steve by me and i shall call him that so forth
[Kinship] Valator: Steve has been around a looong time
[Kinship] Elmaethor: becuse thou hast made it so
[Kinship] Raisin: why are the "been around a looong time" guys always named Steve?
[Kinship] Amandakay: there isn't
[Kinship] Valator: because they are Steve.....
[Kinship] Elmaethor: damn it man, because yellow is yellow and Iowa is boring!
[Kinship] Raisin: awesome. they are all Steve, just as I'd feared and hoped
[Kinship] Elmaethor: what aren't your getting here?
[Kinship] Darkzen: wow val and i came from trinity almost 6 months ago
[Kinship] Darkzen: i still feel new to this kin. i guess i really really stopped playing
[Kinship] Raisin: The only change in this kin is that everyone became Steve while you were gone

Well after tonight, I know not to play and drink at the same time. What a great way to get introduced into the kinship. I had a blast. I will be on and off throughout the day tomorrow.



Oh and yes I really am a Steve.

That was just so freaking fun, I wish the whole convo got logged. The shear coincidence of the Steve thing was enough to have my falling out of my chair with laughter!

but surely insanity is the norm in the Sanctuary??

[Sir Shiverwood]

[Ulfang]

So this was just a normal day then! Nothing out of the norm

[Harding]

To honor the magnificent rampant madness of NAO Sanctuary I have decided to name my pet orchid as Steve.
