Current Technology: can't live with it; can't live without it. Trying to make a Powerpoint presentation for Volcanology tomorrow morning, and Office 365 Powerpoint keeps crashing. RIP

Leaving for a 9 day Geology Field Camp. I will be offline until I get back on the 28th, but I may not get to catching up with stuff I missed until the 29th. See y'all in a few days.

Going dark for a few days. I have a major project for Paleontology due Tuesday morning, and I'm nowhere near done with it, so I'll be away until I get that done. See y'all in a few days.

Isaac could only stare as the Mist swirled into the dining pavilion and enveloped and possessed Syrus and he spoke a prophecy. Most of it made little sense to Isaac, but a few things stood out as he rushed to help Syrus again. "Okay, so I think we're dealing with Ouranous waking up again, if I understood those first lines correctly," he began as he propped Syrus up. "We just won a war against the Giants and Gaea and closed the doors of death, but with Gaea's defeat, we woke up her husband, Ouranous, who had been chopped into a thousand pieces and thrown into Tartarus by Kronos, but if Kronos can come back from being chopped up, I assume Ouranous can as well, and he was definitely not someone you want to make mad according to the old stories." He contemplated the rest of the prophecy. "I'm not sure what the new moon rising means, possibly something to do with Artemis, and the son of the owl probably refers to a son of Athena," he looked at the flame seared on his palm. "Apparently, me. The rest of it is a mystery to me. Who is the chronicler or the king who will fall or the whisper? Forks in the journey sounds like something Hecate would be interested in, and we have one of her sons here, and if he has control of the Mist, then maybe he can show us the way. I can't make heads or tails of the last two lines, though." He was talking mainly to himself as he tried to sort out the meaning of the mysterious prophecy, but he had spoken clearly enough that his musings on the subject were easily heard by everyone around him and Syrus.
Present, still waiting for something interesting to happen.
I is here, waiting for things to happen.
@Akayaofthemoon Just reposting this bit from the IC so it doesn't get forgotten:
Valanx was in the lab looking at the Ulnar venom again. The newest anti-venom should have worked. All the data suggested that it would neutralize the poison, so why hadn't it worked? He injected the anti-venom into another vial and placed the sample under a microscope. He watched the reaction again. After watching the anti-venom do it's job, he separated the remaining solutions. The reaction had proceeded as normal, but there was something weird about what was left over. There was either an unexpected product, or a reactant that didn't react. He placed the unknown substance under a microscope and began an analysis. He rushed over to the body of their deceased loadmaster and extracted a vial of brain fluid. He put this new sample under another microscope and began an analysis. Somehow, there was a powerful neurotoxin in Anderson's system, identical to the substance he had isolated from the neutralized Ulnar venom. But if the Ulnar venom contained both a hemotoxin and an neurotoxin, why were they unable to isolate the neurotoxin from the venom until they had neutralized the hemotoxin? With a few swipes of a gloved hand across the displays, he logged the data for further analysis. Maybe Rae would be able to make more sense of this. This poison stuff was more her territory anyway. He just worked on this sort of stuff on the side when he had nothing else to do or the matter was of greatest urgency as it was here, or at least it had been, and probably would be again. Those rats were still out there in certain places. The Marauders had just wiped out a large portion of them, but they hadn't annihilated the entire race.
"Also, I found some new information about the Ulnar venom. You'll want to take a look at it ASAP. It's... confusing."
I know there's some other stuff going on, but Rae's going to have to look into this at some point.
@Scarlet Loup You have my sympathy. My brother took organic chemistry, and I have heard bad things about how difficult it is. Study hard and focus on your real life stuff. We can wait.
Velu nodded in agreement with Astrid's remark as he looked over the weapons. He still had the sword he had been wielding when he had suddenly vanished from his story, but it seemed that there might be some better weapons here that might serve him in this new quest. He finally found a medium length sword with a blade that seemed to be made of mythril. He was familiar with this valuable substance from his own world and knew that it was far superior to the iron blade he currently carried. He took the new sword and slipped it into his belt in the place of his old sword, which he now placed in his pack to sell when he next had the opportunity.

With his new sword equipped, he turned to Dr. Mog. "Do you have any idea of what sort of perils we might be facing where we're going?" he asked the moogle. "And do you happen to have any other miscellaneous items we might need? Potions and the like?"
@soren
I was kind of waiting on other people to move this forward, but I'll see about getting a post up tonight.
@soren I think I'll just wait until dinner. Isaac isn't exactly the type to just randomly go out of his way to meet new people, but if something important/interesting happens, he'll be there to jump in and do what he can.
Present. I'm just trying to figure out what to do with Isaac from here, plus school is time-consuming.
@TaliPaendrag Could I have my character be half moon elf/half enuri? I assume hybrids are okay since we have a half orc, but I don't know how you'd feel with a half enuri since there are already so many of them.
