Go ahead.
STRIKE FIRE, SKYBIRD!
Good energy concentration, bad aiming.
It's quite helluva hard to aim if I don't even see Kassu well!
Well, I don't see him at all, nor even hear him...
You may therefore practice sensing him one more while still.
schistic shall shoot before you.
Okay...
Go ahead.
STRIKE FIRE, SKYBIRD!
OWWWCH!! Gosh-fuckin'-dammit...
What an exceptionally efficient strike, schistic!
Guess I spent the rest of my mana for that...
Could I get to use crystal protection the next time schistic shall be doing her next magickal attack?
Perhaps that is justified.
Did he just tawk sump'n?
Yeah, he asked if he'd get to use the crystal protection the next time...
Okey. Well, he's not likely to need it when I attack now...
Go ahead.
STRIKE FIRE, SKYBIRD!
Guess it didn't quite take off.
By all means, try once more, if you did not manage to release the energy.
STRIKE FIRE, SKYBIRD!
Maybe yer outta mana as well.
Yeah, might very well be...
I assume mR.mEgAsTuFf§, DiCKiNSTASiA and nEopardy still have some mana left.
At least I'm not fuckin' gonna conjure nuffin' on some dood I can't even see!
I might also wish to give my turn to someone else.
I assume that it is now wArlord's turn to function as a practice target.
Fuck's sake... well, luckily I've only got first- and second-level guys headin' up to me.
You may proceed to the target position, wArlord.
Well, okey then...
How was that there paralysis spell...?
"Stand there like a wall".
Come on, shouldn't be too hard to remember...
It is indeed good that I got shortened versions of the spells we require from Forest Goat.
But it's also good to remember the long versions too, if the short ones have no effect...
But what if I prepare myself for some more time still? Mega gets to conjure first.
Okay...
Go ahead.
§MMS§ STAND THERE LIKE A WALL!
How do you feel, wArlord?
Well, feelin' a bit numb but seems I can still walk quite well...
Your turn, DiCKiNSTASiA.
Okey...
§KHANATIK§ Go ahead.
STAND THERE LIKE A WALL!
Fuckin' hell, that thudded on me quite heavily now!
Can you move?
Havin' quite hard time with that...
Maybe nEopardy could practice relief from paralysis.
But would we even need that spell at all against Wampires...?
We must be prepared for the possibility of Wampires using the paralysis spell against us.
Oh, yeah, right...
but I'd stil like to practice the lightning spell 'cause it went so well...
Gosh-fuckin'-dammit with that!
Could I even get to use a crystal?
Maybe that is justifiable.
Well, are you going to take this tourmaline or not?
Don't ye fuckin' wood-eye get that I'm paralysed?
Indeed, apologies for my unattentiveness.
Maybe I should merely put the crystal in your pocket?
Well, put it there then.
There.
Seems I can now move that leg of mine once ye touched it with yer stone...
Apparently tourmaline has a paralysis-removing effect we have not noticed before.
What if ye removed it from my arm too?
Can you move your arm now?
Seems so...
All right, so are you ready for a lightning strike?
I'm right there yeah...
nEopardy, go ahead.
STRIKE FIRE, SKYBIRD!
Dinna feel nuffin', dinna even see nuffin'.
Tourmaline apparently succeeded in completelyneutralizing the effect of the spell.
I actually saw the lightning take off!
Yeah, it did take off...
It stopped right there, like a meter before wArlord...
I dinna see the lightning at all.
We need to study this previously unseen effect tomorrow in order to improve the accuracy of our magickal theory.
Yeah, that kind of neutralization sounds quite useful for the battle...
But could we go to rest for some time now, as everbody's already run outta powers?
Did you already spend all of your mana points, nEopardy?
Yeah, guess I ran out of 'em.
So, let us move to sit in the kitchen before the physical battle exercices.
Maybe you should get to the edge so that nobody accidentally bumps into you, wHitedodge...
Good idea, so shall be done then.
mR.mEgAsTuFf and DiCKiNSTASiA did not show much progress in magick use,
so they are still on experience level one.
Fuck's sake, couldn't we get some compensation somehow?
Yeah, maybe if we killed a couple of rats we could get enough exp to reach level two...
Maybe you can still reach level two by being exceptionally succesful in the physical exercise.
Okay then...
One of wArlord's lightning spells was succesful enough that I might estimate him to be on level two already.
Allrighty-right. Maybe I could just practise that there lightning tomorrow, to get it work well?
This is acceptable.
nEopardy, on the other hand, has clearly reached level three,
as he is able to concentrate lightning spell energy so well.
Good then, I've also been feelin' that I could move to harder spells already...
I and schistic, on the other hand, remain on level three, and wHitedodge on level four.
How could I even rise to higher levels, as I only have level three spells to practice with?
None of us can teach you new spells anymore, so you should preferrably get them in your dreams.
I have been trying that, but I have not had that kind of dreams!
Err, shouldna we return Kassu back to visible and hearable?
Exactly, indeed.
I could try to use the crystals to return him.
That might give us more information on the energy-vibrational effects of the crystals.
This is acceptable to me.
First take this tourmaline in your hand.
I cannot get it in my hand!
It vibrates at a suchly different level!
Special indeed. But do you still see the crystal?
I do see some kind of shivering there.
As if it were on the astral level but in the opposite direction.
What's happenin' now?
wHitedodge's tryin' to get that stone but his hand just passes thru it...
Allright...
Can you grasp this agate?
Yes, I can.
Now he started to vibrate in some other way.
I'm also seein' sump'n right there.
Now try to grasp the tourmaline.
Now I'm seein' him too.
Have I already become visible to everybody?
Yeah, and hearable too.
I would've preferred him to stay unhearable...
Had ye been developin' some theory aboot how that invisibility and vibrations and others work...?
Yes, I have.
I have already presented my theory to the others,
but not you, as you only arrived here recently.
Yeah.
As you probably well know, the reality we see with our eyes is not the entire reality.
The teleport function in MindBuilder -
Whatta heckin' teleport function??
Indeed. I guess I have not told about the various vibrational versions of MindBuilder.
You have already told me about it.
Affirmative, as you have already required the higher-vibrational versions of MindBuilder.
But for others' information, MindBuilder has several versions in different vertical micro realities.
One must rise slightly upwards in the U dimension, in order to the teleport function to appear in MindBuilder.
U dimension...?
The offset indicated by the fifth coordinate axis of the teleport function in MindBuilder.
All clear then, even if I dinna get it at all.
Actually MindBuilder did not appear on the hard disk of the Amiga until certain out-of-body experiments.
Ye mean what?
It is true. The experiment lifted me enough on the U axis to notice the program.
Only after copying it a couple of times to a floppy disk and back it started to stay on the disk even on the normal middle reality level.
Man, so ye mean that computer hard disks are s'posed to have different contents dependin' on the vibrational level?
Affirmative, at least in a certain sense.
I reckon that conflicts quite badly against the laws of physics all the computers be based on...
Yeah, wouldn't it get to all kinds of conflicts if some dood sees that da program's runnin' and others just an error message?
§KHANATIK§ The conflict situations in this case may be the same as in paradigmal conflicts.
We should therefore exercise caution with them.
But could you already tell me what the vibrational levels be, 'cause I don't get it at all?
Agreed.
All matter vibrates in different frequencies.
The atoms vibrating at different frequencies form independent layers of reality.
In a single three-dimensional point, there may be several atoms vibrating at different frequencies.
The vibrational frequency can be thought as a fourth spatial coordinate,
and MindBuilder's U coordinate corresponds to it.
The reality we got into by the special kilju we drank in the last CWU meeting,
is located on a lower frequency, in the so-called Underworld.
The normal everyday reality we habit is called Midworld, and in addition there is a so-called overworld.
Invisibility is based on altering the target's vibrational frequency slightly aside from the base frequency of Midworld.
The invisible object is still in the same reality, in principle,
but in a way such that most people do not notice it.
But what aboot that there Soviet Designs guy, whatever his handle was...
gRiMSoN.
Yeah, gRiMSoN. We saw him but he dinna see us.
I assume that gRiMSoN has moved himself slightly away from Midworld and also narrowed his spiritual field of vision.
So, most people still see him, but he himself does not see the PC lamers.
That'd be quite useful if done finely enuff, to make all da Windows lamers of our school vanish...
At Abduction, we shall need a maximally wide field of spiritual vision in order to see Wampires despite frequential differences.
For this reason, wArlord and mR.mEgAsTuFf have been doing a lot of field-expansion exercises today.
Right, I was so pissed of 'bout 'em exercises...
But what aboot that Kassu never became completely invisible to me?
I assume you have a naturally wider field of vision.
Allrighty...
But what if there's somebody in Wampires who sees a wider field?
For this reason, we need to insulate ourselves as far as possible from Wampires' reality and also use physical disguises.
What disguises...?
We have acquired a black hoodie in order to hide our faces from Wampires.
So, we got 'em for THAT! I had missed it completely.
So, are them Wampires them upwards or downwards from the normal level?
We can only find it out once we have arrived the partyplace.
Additionally, vibrations have other properties besides frequency.
Man, yer makin' yer theory more complex everywhere ye can...
Yeah, ye hadn't told me 'bout that either.
In addition to frequency, the material vibration has a waveform.
Alternatively, you can assume there are multiple simultaneous frequencies.
This is proven by how gRiMSoN has been able to restrict PC-lamers out of his own spiritual field of vision.
PC userness therefore seems to have a specific waveform of its own,
and gRiMSoN vibrates according to its complemental waveform.
It sounds quite reasonable that Wampires had some Nazi vibrational frequency of their own...
Affirmative. Do you think you yourself have been vibrating with this Nazi waveform at some point of time?
Well, maybe at some point of time...
Could you return to this waveform for a moment, so that we can calibrate our invisibility transfer accordingly?
I dunno, 'cause I've been pushin' myself away from it after Demolition...
Maybe there could be a trace of the Nazi vibration in your pilot jacket.
Yeah, right, I haven't even been using that pilot jacket after we got back from Joensuu.
Maybe there could be some trace then.
Except if the protective crystals in yer room have neutralized it already...
At least we could isolate the Nazi waveform even if it were weak.
I didn't get it completely now.
Are those waveforms like some extra dimensions to da vibration?
Affirmative, that can be said so.
In addition to the vertical realities indicated by the U coordinate, there are parallel realities.
I don't reckon I got it all now...
Yeah, it went quite theoretical to me too.
Yeah. So, what's we gonna do at the Abduction, in practise?
First, we have to stay extremely alert for the entire journey,
and check, for example, whether Wampires are in the same train.
Once we get to the partyplace, we shall proceed to someone's computer in order to "finish our demo".
Then, we shall undergo a transition towards a Nazi-less parallel reality.
Later, we shall fine-tune the anti-Nazi waveform in order to see Wampires as weakly as possible.
wHitedodge knows an interdimensional wavering technique with which we can find the ideal invisibility point.
And we're gonna stay invisible to them all the way until our demo starts rollin' in the compo?
Affirmative.
So, we're gonna need to jump back to the normal reality quite quickly,
so that we can catch up with the demo?
Actually, our demo is designed in a way such that it brings the spectators to a second reality.
Yeah, the upliftin' part in the beginnin' also doubles as an entrainer that changes the watchers' vibrations...
So, Wampires are gonna get closer to us and we not closer to 'em?
Affirmative.
But ain't that quite a common technique, usin' an upliftin' part like that...?
Affirmative. As far as I know, Future Crew used this technique in their demo Second Reality.
Its effects are completely average in reality, but at Assembly'93 the spectators were lifted to a second reality.
I guess that Dolby Surround has sump'n to do with it...?
I would assume so. The slow uplifting in the beginning apparently only works properly with Dolby Surround playback.
That explains a lot then!
I've always been wonderin' why there are a helluva bunch of Second Reality fans...
And then they've seen an entirely different demo and different FX there at Asm! Fuckin' cheaters dammit!
Yeah, and all the stories 'bout folks havin' passed out durin' the demo also testify for that theory...
Our demo also has better effects in the second reality!
Whatta fuck?
Affirmative. I and nEopardy have optimised the effects so that they are visually superior in the more magickal reality.
And I have so far been the only one who has noticed it without anybody saying!
Affirmative.
For the fuck's sake with ya then!!
I always thought there ain't no new stuff in da demo in like many months!!
But could we move to them fightin' exercises already...?
Yeah, we could move there right, so that we can fight Wampires even if we fail all da magixx.
Let us move there indeed.
