Duo's "Hallucination", An IRC log

[00:27] DracoDei: Duo: Hallucinations?
[00:28] * SaintDuo nods
[00:28] SaintDuo: to distract me
[00:29] DracoDei: ((If you mean a new forum toy to play with, I think I can come up with something...))
[00:29] *** boogi_AFK has signed off IRC (Quit: Out for the night til later...).
[00:30] * Xyie sneaks towards Duo from behind
[00:31] * SaintDuo is unaware, and unarmored
[00:32] DracoDei: Well, the only thing I can think of would be... well let me go get it... it is down by the otter-skipping pond....
[00:32] Xyie: *sneak**sneak*
[00:32] * Xyie gives Duo's back a big slurp
[00:32] * SaintDuo squeaks!
[00:32] American_Otter: Otter?
[00:32] American_Otter: where?
[00:33] * DracoDei returns carrying a swan with a saddle...
[00:33] DracoDei: Here, try him out...
[00:33] SaintDuo: o.o?
[00:34] * DracoDei sets the swan in front of Duo...
[00:34] SaintDuo: what is it?
[00:34] DracoDei: Hey... tri-phibious mount... seems mildly cool...
[00:34] DracoDei: It is a riding swan of course...
[00:34] Xyie: eh. nominally popular.
[00:35] SaintDuo: why?
[00:35] SaintDuo: as in..why does it exist?
[00:35] DracoDei: You asked for something to distract yourself with... this was the first thing I thought of...
[00:35] DracoDei: Oh...
[00:35] DracoDei: As I said, it is tri-phibeons...
[00:36] * SaintDuo notes..the distractions would need to be quite strong at this point.
[00:36] * SaintDuo gets on
[00:37] DracoDei: Of course, a waddle isn't much of a land-gait, but it does for getting out of harms way if something nasty shows up in the water, or for swamp use...
[00:37] DracoDei: Of course you can always fly, but that is usually more tiring for him.
[00:38] * DracoDei nods and tries to start cranking things up... unfortunatly is pretty tired...
[00:40] * SaintDuo falls off and sits down
[00:40] * DracoDei taps the swan with a magic rod and it starts cycling colors in patterns resembling something out "Yellow Submarine" and other such psychidelic animations.
[00:40] SaintDuo: o.o
[00:41] * DracoDei taps again and it starts singing Wagner (while still shifting colors like a neon sign).
[00:41] * SaintDuo stares.
[00:41] SaintDuo: trippy..o.o
[00:42] * DracoDei taps the pew cushions and they start crawling around like cattipilars... most show a tendency to start climbing the walls...
[00:43] DracoDei: ((Changing computers...))
[00:43] * SaintDuo blinks and lies back, watching
[00:43] SaintDuo: ok
[00:43] *** You are now known as DracoLog.
[00:46] *** DracoDei has joined #C_F_F.
[00:50] * DracoDei head-slaps as he remembers he isn't setting the room to entertain a humanoid (Furries count as "monstrous humanoid").
[00:50] Crusader_Cat: oops
[00:51] Xyie: i'm not!
[00:51] SaintDuo: o.o?
[00:52] Crusader_Cat: Monsters? Where!
[00:52] * DracoDei sets the rooms odor to random shuffle between: Cinnamon, Mint, Talcum Powder, Cheddar Cheese, peanut-butter, Ant-Eater, used gunpowder, and "new car".
[00:52] SaintDuo: o.o
[00:53] Crusader_Cat: Huh?
[00:53] DracoDei: Xyie: No, we are Dragons... we get our own Type...
[00:53] Xyie: well sure, but i'm not even humanoid-like.
[00:53] DracoDei: ((Room's smell changes every 30 seconds to a random different one of those).
[00:54] DracoDei: ((Ok... MOST furries count as Monstrous Humanoids.))
[00:54] Xyie: ....i smell cheddar. o.o
[00:54] * Xyie licks lips
[00:55] Xyie: >..>
[00:55] Xyie: <..<
[00:55] DracoDei: Yeah, thought I would put in some olfactory effects to go with the visual and auditory stuff... speaking of which...
[00:55] * DracoDei taps the swan again, and halves the volume on the opera singing...
[00:56] SaintDuo: o.o
[00:56] * SaintDuo watches, distracted..still in pain>.<
[00:56] Xyie: at least it's not Data listening to 4-5 songs at once
[00:57] DracoDei: Xyie: Well, I was going for attention grabbing, rather than pleasant per se...
[00:58] * Xyie nibbles on duo's tail
[00:58] Xyie: rawrmnrpmmrrph
[00:58] * SaintDuo wiggles it.
[00:58] * DracoDei puts the swan in an appropriate enclosure so it can still be seen and heard in the middle of the stage, but won't make a mess, and can eat somethngwhen it wants.
[01:00] * DracoDei clones Wagzbot in liquid form (without wings), and sets up a meditation fountain in front of Duo with her as the "water" her fluffy surface rippling over the stones in an endless flow...
[01:01] *** Crusader_Cat has signed off IRC (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[01:01] DracoDei: You would think the hair would clog the pump, but it doesn't work out like that...
[01:03] * DracoDei idly runs his claws through Wagzbot, but stops when she protests that it tickles...
[01:04] Xyie: *nomnom*
[01:05] * DracoDei uses a paralysis spell on a blue-jay, rendering it stillf as a board...
[01:06] * DracoDei attempts to balance the blue-jay on his forehead by the beak...
[01:06] * DracoDei does not have much success with this.
[01:06] * DracoDei keeps trying though...
[01:08] * DracoDei takes a short break to animate a Chinese Checker's set in the same way that "Alice in Wonderland" had Cards, and "Through the Looking-Glass" had chess peices...
[01:09] SaintDuo: o.o
[01:09] * DracoDei goes back to his blue-jay balancing efforts as the obese checker peices start their usual 6 way leap-frog tournament...
[01:10] DracoDei: (Seriously... they look like Sumo-wrestlers or something... very good at leap-frog though.))
[01:10] SaintDuo: hehe
[01:11] Xyie: animate Parcheesi?
[01:12] * DracoDei summons in some giant frogs to serve as a seventh team, and grey Kangaroos for an eighth thinking that this will general a simpler play-off system for the tournament... but it ends up just starting a vigorous argument.
[01:12] Xyie: o.o
[01:12] Xyie: frogs.
[01:12] Xyie: >..>
[01:14] * DracoDei finds the quarreling to be sufficiently ridiculous that he swaps the blue-bird with one of the hood-ornaments of the vehicles in the parking-lot and goes to join in as referee, awarding points for good logic, bad logic, and passing out from shouting too hard.
[01:18] DracoDei: *One of the green checkers and a 150 lb cricket get knocked over when one of the pew-cushions looses its grip on the rafter it was crossing and falls on them.*
[01:18] * DracoDei awards a lot of points for this, but it isn't at all clear to WHOM.
[01:19] * DracoDei adds "lilac" to the smell rotation...
[01:19] * SaintDuo murrs'
[01:22] * DracoDei gets out a fire-proof board (same one he sometimes uses for playing with Pilot Light on), and starts juggling 3 lit torches... this would be a lot more impressive if he weren't fireproof, and catching them by the lit ends noticeably more than half the time...
[01:23] * DracoDei continues to referee the argument while doing this, totally nonchalant about the fact that he is dropping the torches frequently.
[01:23] * Xyie wanders off to his lair for the night
[01:23] Xyie: g'night all!
[01:24] DracoDei: Night Xyie.
[01:24] SaintDuo: nini
[01:24] *** Xyie has signed off IRC (Quit: sleepy dragon).
[01:27] DracoDei: The argument starts to evolve into a yodeling contest... which the swan seems a sure bet to win with its yodeling rendition of "Ride of the Valkyries".
[01:30] DracoDei: ((Oops... forgot to mention that the cricket had been called in as an expert witness on jumping contests for the quarrel by the White Marbles.))
[01:31] SaintDuo: o.o?
[01:32] DracoDei: ((The cricket that got knocked over when one of the pew-cushions fell off the ceiling...))
[01:32] * DracoDei hands Duo a giant bowling pin...
[01:34] DracoDei: After the quarreling contest is over, why don't you take them outside and see if you can set them up for an enlarged game of reverse bowling with American and Syruss?
[01:36] DracoDei: Reverse bowling, as you probably already know, is where you replace each pin in the normal set-up with a bowling ball, and then try to throw a pin from the end of the lane into the back of the pin-setter without disturbing any of the bowling-balls...
[01:37] DracoDei: ((I am going to attempt sleep now...))

Um...what?

Duo was in pain IRL, so he asked me to distract him in the IRC channel that night. I didn't immediately realize WHY he was asking me for a distraction, but I did my best to provide one by creating the most bizarre scene with the highest "Huh?!" factor I could. I felt I was fairly successful, so I decided to preserve the log for posterity by posting it publicly (also on Christian Furs).

Now, that did make me go,"Huh?" with confusion. In fact, I am sure Lewis Carroll would shake your hand privately behind closed doors if he saw your level of bizarre distractions for Duo. However, due to me having ADHD and AS, my mind skips around very much like the way you created that for him. Finally, it was almost like you either kept changing the channels or turned up the heat in your own creative way.

Definitely intended as "turning up the heat" so that Duo would be more distracted by more than one aspect of the scene "moving" at once ("three ring circus effect" to coin a term).

Duo is in pain, and has requested I make him a new "hallucination" to distract him...<DracoSemiAway> Basically this is me going wild with the most rediculous enchantments I can come up with...
[01:19] <iron_fox21> i'll go make popcorn then
[01:19] <DracoSemiAway> No.
[01:19] <DracoSemiAway> No popcorn.
[01:19] <iron_fox21> aww
[01:20] <DracoSemiAway> You will see why not...
[01:20] <iron_fox21> ok.
[01:20] * iron_fox21 retreats to minimum safe distance and puts on sunglasses
[01:20] * Remi sits down in a warm chair
[01:20] <Remi> "thanks Uncle..means a lot..hehe."
[01:20] * DracoSemiAway brings in an iron pot with a layer or three of enchanted desert dwelling scarab beatles in it.
[01:21] * Remi winces and looks inside.
[01:21] * DracoSemiAway sets the pot on a tortoise, and makes sure the force-field lid is in place....
[01:22] * DracoSemiAway enchants the beatles to start dancing like 6 legged Rockettes...
[01:23] * DracoSemiAway applies his fire breath to the pot and the beatles start popping like popcorn, in intricately corrographed patterns in time with their magically created dance.
[01:23] * Remi watches, eyes wide
[01:23] * iron_fox21 sees why no popcorn
[01:24] <phox> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDRQpdhlR3s[01:24] * DracoSemiAway makes sure the roof is addiquettely re-inefforced, and enchants the rafters to start doing various "cats-cradle" type string patterns... while flashing in neon colors.
[01:24] * Remi stares upwards, grinning[01:25] * DracoSemiAway calls in 16 pairs of turtle-doves, singing about love as they hover over various people's heads...
[01:26] * Remus blinks
[01:26] * Remus smiles and sits next to Remi
[01:26] <Remi> that's enough for at least one for every person.
[01:26] * DracoSemiAway turns the turtle-doves into chickens that sing about dishwashing, and folding laundry... while still hovering over various people's heads.
[01:26] * Remi clings to Remus' arm and leans on him
[01:26] * Remi giggles
[01:27] <DracoSemiAway> Err... it has been requested that we move this to another room...
[01:27] * Remus grins and hugs Remi close
[01:28] <DracoSemiAway> Everyone interested, come to #DuosHallucination
#DuosHallucination
<@DracoSemiAway> Continuing...
* @DracoSemiAway sees that the beetles are done and dispels the force-field... a late pop lands a pop-beetle on Duo's nose.
* Remi eeks and goes cross-eyed looking at it
* Remus giggles and brushes it away gently
* Remi leans on Remus for warmth, lying his head in the crook of the fox's shoulder.
* Remus smiles and strokes Remi's head gently, watching with him
* @DracoSemiAway gets a clown with flaming elbows and a pleasant face to serve out the pop-beatles to any who want some in WWII army helmet (unused).
* Remi earperks and giggles a bit, grinning. He stretches out a paw.
* iron_fox21 is unsure wether he should stop drinking, or drink more
* Remus giggles
* @DracoSemiAway conjures squirels, because squirrels make everything better...
* Remus giggles
* Remi reaches out for one
<@DracoSemiAway> *The Squirrels race around all the surfaces of the room like a planetarium set to display the motions of gas molecules (but keeping off of the Furs).
<@DracoSemiAway> *
* Remi giggles, watching, tailtip twitching
* @DracoSemiAway offers Remi a flaming preying mantis to hold.
* Remi holds it in his paws, ears swivelling back and forth
* @DracoSemiAway gets Barnard in to juggle ducks, who are very non-challant about the whole thing, keeping their legs drawn up and wings folded.
* Remi turns his attention back to the ceiling, leaning onto Remus
<@DracoSemiAway> *Barnard passes the ducks through the weaving rafters in intricate patterns.
* Remi zones out while watching, murring and grinning.
* @DracoSemiAway headslaps and sets the rooms odor to random-cycle through mint, freshly detonated gunpowder, talcum powder, cheddar, swiss, and anteater.
* Remus nuzzles Remi softly and giggles at the scents, grinning
* Remi murrs at all but anteater, tail wagging as he watches the beams flash, ducks weaving.
<@DracoSemiAway> A pair of 4' tall Rabbits dance in and proceed to do a passionate dance I can't remember the name of, but it involves a rose being passed back and forth between the teeth... except they use a stick of celery instead.
<Remi> samba?
<iron_fox21> tango
<Remi> ohhh.
<@DracoSemiAway> Doh't THINK it was samba...tango sounds right... the one from from "True Lies" (starrng Arnold S.)
<iron_fox21> yep, tango
* Remi watches, tail wagging at the rabbits. "I like rabbits.." He mumbles, leaning into Remus lap.
<@DracoSemiAway> Icecubes swarm through the room like a flock of migrating swallows.
* Remus pets Remi's head softly, giggling and grinning at the rabbits and nodding
* Remi watches,murring softly
<@DracoSemiAway> A flying propane touch dives from behind one of the rafters and melts one of the icecubes... such is the circle of life.
<@DracoSemiAway> Chewing gum sprouts from the floor like grass.
* Remi picks up some with his tail and chews, watching, eyes wide with wonder.
* Remus grabs some up, being reminded of "candy land" and grins, chewing
<@DracoSemiAway> REmus: Yep, that is whre I got it from...
* @DracoSemiAway summons a very large 10 sided die which spins above Remus's head on its long axis.
* Remus laughs and grins at it
* Remi looks up, grining
* Remi yawns a bit, using Remus' lap as a pillow
* Remus grins and scritches Duo's forehead gently
<Remi> wrrr..
<iron_fox21> gnight guys
<Remus> night Iron
<Remi> nini
*** iron_fox21 has quit IRC: Quit: per ardua ad astra
* @DracoSemiAway returns from a fight with the lag monster.
* Remi yawns sleepily, head in Remus' lap, watching the rabbits and the ducks amusedly
* Remus grins and tickles Duo's cheek, wagging at the ducks and giggling
* Remi murrrrs quietly, approaching sleep, the hallucinations having sufficiently distracted him
<@DracoSemiAway> One of the duck must be thirsty, because it nabs an ice cube in its beak in mid-arc, and nibbles on it intensely as only a duck can.
*** DracoSemiAway is now known as DracoFightingLagMonster
* Remi watches, eyes half open
*** LagEvader3000 has joined #DuosHallucination
<LagEvader3000> This is my landlord/house-mate's computer... let us see if it works any better...
* LagEvader3000 turns into a levitating glob of silly-putty which constantly alters shape like an amoeba.
* Remus nods
* Remus blinks and grins, giggling
* Remi watches, tailwagging sleepily
* Remi grins
* LagEvader3000 shows an instructional video on beginners "Fist of the Nose-hair" techniques (kung-fu fighting with hyper-extending nose hairs... one from each nostril).
* Remi laughs.
<LagEvader3000> "And Snort, and Block, and Sniffle... get ready... make sure your sinuses are spread nice and wide... now, on three, lets try a our number-one sneeze attack... 1.. 2... 3*CHOO*... did you feel your nose hairs extend on that one?"
* Remi giggles sleepily, the hallucinations having successfully lulled him into forgetting about his pain. "fanka..Uncle.." he mumbles, eyes half open
* LagEvader3000 watches as Draco takes time off from fighting the lag monster to savagely rip an... well actually he shouldn't describe it, since Remus might have to fight it some day, and we wouldn't want to ruin the surprise...
<LagEvader3000> But let us just say it smelled really bad, and was a fiend (I always get demons and devils confused).
<LagEvader3000> Just call me Patch Draco...
<LagEvader3000> So then the skunk says to the monkey... that is no banana, that is my tail!
* Remi blinks confusedly
* Remus headtilts
<LagEvader3000> Patch Draco : Refers to Patch Adams... who believes in the medical value of laughter.
<LagEvader3000> The thing after that is a varient of "That's no lady... that's my wife!"
* Remi reads it in Robin William's voice and laughs.
<LagEvader3000> I am running low on ideas I think...
* Remi has fallen asleep in Remus's lap
<LagEvader3000> Have you tried inside Xyie?
*** LagEvader3000 has quit IRC: Quit:
*** Remi has quit IRC: Quit: I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not too sure.
<Remus> Duo said to tell you nini, and thanks, and that you sufficiently removed his pain ^^ And that you're a good uncle
*** Remus has quit IRC: Quit: The harder you fall, the higher you bounce.

Okay Mr. Dei, this was quite more bizarre than the last and interesting. Pop scarabs? (lol). I also read about the the giant die over Remus' head which made me think of the characters in the video game, "Sim City," where a colored gem floats over their heads.

Really? I thought it was actually a bit more tame due to my running low on material...

Huh, I have heard about that, but had forgotten it... might have inspired me subconsciously... I was probably thinking about the similar icons in Final Fantasy.

I didn't know that about final fantasy, since I never played it. However, I know about Sim City since I have seen the demos with the gems.
