The Masks

Four masks interlocked in dreadful stare

Observation changing all before

Entangled weave of gazes entwined

To make all, that once was not,

Now there


Four masks caged in pained haunt

To build, To burn, To act, To plan

A raging storm with no end or halt

The vortex spiral of dreamland


Four masks making haste to plan all fate

Fighting for a secure place in the abyss

Longing to fill a thirst they cannot sate

Creating chaos in darkened mist

cagedmind0531
alrighty
I wrote 2 pages or so last night
forrestjones2010
sweet
i just wrestled 2 dogs to the ground in public at the park
cagedmind0531
lol
forrestjones2010
yeah it wasnt fun
they scared to little girls and their little dog
cagedmind0531
awe man
forrestjones2010
we come home early
time out
i lmost lost control of them
almost
it was scary
tish walks them alone
cagedmind0531
geez
forrestjones2010
anyway
what did you write
cagedmind0531
Let me post it
forrestjones2010
did you get my message about a new character
cagedmind0531
No I didn't
Posted as Chapter 5
New character?
forrestjones2010
k
let me look at my fone
i want a new character
another future character
cagedmind0531
listening
forrestjones2010
...a metropolotan distant future savant
we have no theorist
he is the theorist
or she
cagedmind0531
Well Feinburg is basically that
forrestjones2010
i prefer she
no he is def a mad scientist
cagedmind0531
haha
forrestjones2010
right?
cagedmind0531
Yeah I suppose so if we are sticking to that formula. What role would this character have?
forrestjones2010
the theorist is the only blank space i looked at it this morning
i have an idea
it would balance AI
being a non person
cagedmind0531
nonperson?
forrestjones2010
and full of theories
a future corporation
yes it has been done
but we can do it better
cagedmind0531
hmm
forrestjones2010
imo it hasnt been overdone
cagedmind0531
Where and when would this character be inserted?
forrestjones2010
we can nuance it with things like the labels on the manufacturing products feinburg uses for his syringes and stuff like that
as a casual intro
cagedmind0531
interesting idea
forrestjones2010
they couldnt be intoed earlier than feinburg
although for the nerd edition it would be funny to have a mask tatooed with one of their barcode insignias
cagedmind0531
haha
forrestjones2010
yeah you love me
cagedmind0531
I need some tea. Read what I wrote if you feel like it. brb one sec
forrestjones2010
i will
cagedmind0531
back
forrestjones2010
k
does this word mean anything to you?
ledrum
cagedmind0531
no
forrestjones2010
k
cagedmind0531
Ok so another character. In the future. Preferably a woman. Owner of a company.
forrestjones2010
in a Borgish sort of way she is the corporation
she is hidden
legallistic
emperialistic
cagedmind0531
We could just communicate with her through holograms and make it the AI
forrestjones2010
hmmmmmm
cagedmind0531
The AI needs a speaking part anyway
forrestjones2010
perhaps
elaborate on the AI
cagedmind0531
Perhaps as Siren is leaving the room she hears Feinburg and someone talking
AI is just a supercomputer that has consciousness
forrestjones2010
i like that
one request
cagedmind0531
It's VERY afraid of death or being destroyed and is obsessed with Feinburg finding it a way to create a soul
go ahead
forrestjones2010
i would like her first name to start with a P and her last name to start with an S...
cagedmind0531
...
?
forrestjones2010
when siren leaves what room?
cagedmind0531
Just whatever room
There can be a mobile projection unit running around projecting her hologram
forrestjones2010
k
cagedmind0531
It is key that we introduce this character in a believable and flowing manner.
forrestjones2010
ps is a tie in to an old friend of mine named phillip solomon back in dallas in the early 90's...his corporation's name was called solomon united
we can use P ans S but not Phillip Solomon out right
we con use Solomon United sommewhere
but maybe ony once or twice
cagedmind0531
What about Felicia Solomon
Get it? Phil-e-sia
forrestjones2010
not solomon directly
cagedmind0531
My girlfriend will get pissed if I use that name though
My ex is named Felicia and Beth hates her guts
forrestjones2010
we can use Solomon United as often as we like
yeah ive never used my ex's name for anything no no
use this somewhere
laws are spells in the hands of those who won the great war...
laws are sofisticated curses...
ibogas traning classes or someting
brb
cagedmind0531
ok
forrestjones2010
back
cagedmind0531
k
forrestjones2010
do you like the idea of this new character or is it eh just another character?
cagedmind0531
Well I like it as a medium to get the AI into the picture
forrestjones2010
cool
cagedmind0531
I basically just wrote the intro into the next chapter last night
Gaia getting pregnant. Graven and Gaia more/less getting married
forrestjones2010
i am reading it now...it gravy so far...smooth and warm
like butta
cagedmind0531
lol
forrestjones2010
i have stopped editing as i read is that preffered or would you rather me go bac to editing as i read?
cagedmind0531
We can edit later
forrestjones2010
k
so you do feel that slows us down
cagedmind0531
Yeah a bit. Mostly I want to focus on flow and consistency.
forrestjones2010
k
at the end of this i will pay to have it professionally edited anyway
neither one of us have to do it unless you want to
then the marketing begins
cagedmind0531
I really want the book cover to look great. I have some ideas
forrestjones2010
the art we are going to crank out is going to be stelar
if you liked fracture just wait
the quality of the rest of it will be that and higher
i wont rest until it is so
we are really doing this!
cagedmind0531
haha
forrestjones2010
indeed
cagedmind0531
only 220 more pages!
forrestjones2010
f yes
bring on the future
love short black hair for siren
cagedmind0531
I couldn't remember if you gave her hair or not
forrestjones2010
i didnt be she can change hair like pants
or skin for that matter
we should make her black for a scene
throw everybody off
cagedmind0531
lol
forrestjones2010
hey Graven who's the puerta rican chic?
i dunno know but shes hot
hawt
i mean
i think Axis definetly needs to be talking more throughout all of this
he hasnt peeped
cagedmind0531
Yeah I thought of that. He just got reinserted though
forrestjones2010
even before his rock incasing he didnt say anything
cagedmind0531
He can't talk unless he is in Graven's head
forrestjones2010
did we talking about giving him a scene where he had a vision that they all saw and understood more about him...or did i dream that?
cagedmind0531
you dreamt it
forrestjones2010
why not the proverbial cats out tha bag now that he is "special"
does it have any validity?
its 420 puff puff give
cagedmind0531
I could go back and add some insight into axis but honestly it's a little weird to have another character who is talking but only Graven can hear
What is he going to start telling everyone what axis is saying?
Hell as far as we know Graven is imagining the whole thing and he has the real power
It could be a voice he invented back in the cave

forrestjones2010
gotcha
foiled again
cagedmind0531
lol
Axis does need to have some lines though.Just if we let people know who/what he is we have to start including him in group conversations
forrestjones2010
i have it
cagedmind0531
What if Axis talks through a sock puppet on Graven's hand!
forrestjones2010
one or two signature audible words that everyone hears that he always says
cagedmind0531
or or a papar bag puppet
paper*
forrestjones2010
...
cagedmind0531
lol
forrestjones2010
...
The Ind
"The Ind"
moving on
question
cagedmind0531
By the way, you know the black eyed peas have an album called 'END, Energy Never Dies"
go on
forrestjones2010
what is to stop siren from attacking 2 seconds after her failed attempt? she is a time traveller after all?
cagedmind0531
I thought about that. Not sure. We can come up with something to limit it. Maybe it cost money to send her back
forrestjones2010
maybe that can tie into AI and the corporation
cagedmind0531
You need to write a Siren scene where she is returning from her failed mission.
And introduce the AI etc
forrestjones2010
i can do dat sir
tonight matter of fact
cagedmind0531
groovy
forrestjones2010
think i may do that at barns and noble
you know i think i may get more writing done if i didnt like talking to you so much
cagedmind0531
rofl, want me to be less likeable?
I'll get right on that
forrestjones2010
no you're goo
good
what about siren meeting PS
or is that what you said?
cagedmind0531
that's fine
forrestjones2010
PS and AI will be synonymous right?
PS being the voice piec of AI
piece
cagedmind0531
Maybe the company should send someone else cause they are sick of Siren failing and that person gets killed
yes
forrestjones2010
thats cool...and siren gets sent to then to be reprimanded
and feiny cant do anything to stop it and reprimands her too
o btw
cagedmind0531
?
forrestjones2010
i liked how you turned him into more of a stern you better get this right kind of guy
feinburg
cagedmind0531
Yeah I figured it would play in better because he is under alot of pressure.
forrestjones2010
i had him as more of a push over
good call that was nicely done
cagedmind0531
groovy
forrestjones2010
and you took out the carving on the crystal above her head? any thought on that
cagedmind0531
Yeah I wasn't sure what you were going for with that. I have it set aside on my doc in case you really wanted it.
forrestjones2010
i was thinking a rune was going to show up through feinburg where it didnt belong
no i wasnt sure what i wanted either really i wanted to discuss it later
it was a random fireing
really a rules question
and here it is
cagedmind0531
k
forrestjones2010
are their runes in feinburgs world?
cagedmind0531
Yes but no one can see them. Seeing them is a gift.
forrestjones2010
so he would not know or see them
cagedmind0531
Everything and the kitchen sink has a rune
It's basically the architecture of creation, that only rune-sighted people can distinguish
I mean what's cool is imagine Graven knowing more then just rocks and crystals
Right now he can do 2 things and already he is defeating siren
forrestjones2010
i see
like the matrix but runes
much cooler
cagedmind0531
Iboga is going to be a monster to defeat
forrestjones2010
good
cagedmind0531
I mean Graven can do rocks and crystals....Iboga can do fire, energy, basically everything but life
well he does have 1 pet he controls
forrestjones2010
brb
cagedmind0531
alrighty
forrestjones2010
who can do life then i got to run
cagedmind0531
gaia and eventually graven
forrestjones2010
see you on later dont know when...
cagedmind0531
k, I may take a nap or something. Feeling groggy
