I just bought food for DKK 100π (aka DKK 314.15)

@ben what do you call it when Mike Wazowski has a cold and stays home to play Quake?

@jk oh hey, that's the drummer from Final Fantasy 3D, right?

I can tell by his shirt!

@Alexis hot put: watch me gently nudge this ball of lava into that hole right there using a specially crafted stick

hot put and take: putting fish into a lava lake and wondering why you can't catch any

hot put and take take: lava lakes are preferable for fishing trip, because it inherently sabotages the fishers ability to kill fish in other places.

@aldersprig @Anke I'm not sure that's safe for work ô.ô

@Anke sounds delightfully productive

@jk is that a promise, a well wishing, a dictate, or a threat?

I'm trying to work while my coworker is watching Pippi Longstocking on the television.

The TV is shouting "Her Niiiilssoooon", and I'm trying to get my coworker to stop idly biting their shirt.

My work-focus is through the floor* today, so I went downstairs to work.

(*Opposite of "through the roof", right?)

@ben On the topic of Cantha, if Sbubbles isn't related to the Saltspray dragons, I'm going to be disappointed!

@ben are you implying the "spirit" wardens served and "merged with" was Mordremoth? That's a bold claim.

@ben (Oh, and Kryta would probably have been destroyed by undead. Nbd)

@ben So I stand by the claim that if we haven't killed any of the elder dragons, the world would have been perfectly safe.

... but then again. The person leading the charge against Zhaitan was a "liberated" Mordremoth minion, so maybe Mordy had a crazy plan of taking more than his own share, by having "unaffiliated" minions manipulate people into killing a rival dragon. Which then backfired quite badly.

@ben the difference now, is that _someone_ decided to kill zhaitan, after they had consumed a large amount of magic. And thus the five remaining elder dragons suddenly had an opportunity to take up to a fifth of the Tyria-magic-cake, where they only had access to approximately a sixth before.

Then either Scarlet or Mordy decides Mordy should have a lot of that magic right now, and things start to go real bad.

@ben just because it's called "bloodstones" in reference to some mythology, doesn't make the mythology true. We don't know what the seers, who made the "original bloodstone", originally called it.

Actually, this NPC tells us that the gods just "recovered" the first bloodstone and broke it into pieces - in Arah, right on top of Zhaitan.

@ben if the human gods brought the magic that made them go crazy, why did the ancient species struggle against the dragons 10000 years ago, way before the gods arrived with their magic?

(And also, why did the gods take credit for sealing the magic in the bloodstone(s?), when those were already there when they arrived?)
