| 07:49.10 | Liquid_Ink | Hello |
| 07:53.42 | Ghelae | Hello. |
| 07:53.58 | Liquid_Ink | How are you? |
| 07:55.38 | Ghelae | I'm okay; how about you? |
| 07:55.55 | Liquid_Ink | Meh |
| 08:10.25 | Liquid_Ink | I've been thinking about precursors |
| 08:13.36 | Ghelae | Okay. |
| 08:14.00 | Liquid_Ink | The Milky Way appears to have a wide variety, and I was thinking of throwing in a new set. The Venhokwe and the Sequence, as dear as they are, effect my modern fiction minimally, as I've said |
| 08:17.38 | Ghelae | Do you have any further ideas about this new set, besides the implication that they will affect your other fiction more? |
| 08:19.04 | Ghelae | And the Lovecraftian theme you mentioned. |
| 08:19.58 | Liquid_Ink | Mostly, the Golden King will be one of them. |
| 08:20.25 | Liquid_Ink | I'm not going to make them Lovecraft's things, but they will definitely draw inspiration from the Great Old Ones |
| 08:23.41 | Ghelae | The current Milky Way Precursors, excluding Vida'Rra, span times from 65 million to a few tens of thousands of years ago. Even within that time frame there's plenty of room for other species. |
| 08:23.52 | Liquid_Ink | Of course |
| 08:25.21 | Liquid_Ink | Wait, weren't the Vida'Rra Borealis precursors? |
| 08:28.45 | Ghelae | They're basically everywhere Precursors, but their empire started in th Milky Way. |
| 08:29.07 | Ghelae | the* |
| 08:29.57 | Liquid_Ink | I love how Cube Worlds were canonised. |
| 08:32.42 | Liquid_Ink | I also don't want my precursors to end up like the others with ascension and wars and being eaten by a bigger fish |
| 08:32.59 | Liquid_Ink | Perhaps a variation of war, of a distinctly different flavour to everyone else |

| 08:38.13 | Liquid_Ink | How's bridging? |
| 08:38.18 | Wormydroid | Hi |
| 08:38.31 | Wormydroid | Last day of itctoday |
| 08:39.06 | Wormydroid | A bit boring, being taugh things I already know |
| 08:39.36 | Liquid_Ink | I see |
| 08:40.08 | Wormydroid | Report writing, harvard referenci bbc gx mind mapping etc |
| 08:40.20 | Wormydroid | But tutorw are nice |
| 08:40.26 | Wormydroid | Tutors |
| 08:40.57 | Wormydroid | Harvard referencing and mind mapping |
| 08:42.17 | Wormydroid | Have to be up early as well |
| 08:42.39 | Wormydroid | Which is a shock after a summer of staying in bed till lunchtime |
| 08:44.59 | Liquid_Ink | I imagine it would be |
| 08:47.35 | Liquid_Ink | Ghelae: I think that at some point they all go mad and start killing each other in an orgy of freedom and ecstasy, and somehow absorb each other's strength while doing so, leaving just a handful of super-beings at the end of it. |
| 08:50.40 | Ghelae | I'd say that's original enough, yeah. |
| 08:51.09 | Ghelae | It should suffice to leave the mechanics of strength-absorption undefined, too. |
| 08:51.18 | Liquid_Ink | Yeah |
| 08:53.08 | Liquid_Ink | Also I think they'll be shapeshifty sorts of beings with no fixed forms. Like the Oikoumene but without the preference for Saurians. Much more tendrils and mouths and hooves |
| 08:54.59 | Liquid_Ink | I was more thinking Octocattle. |
| 08:55.27 | Liquid_Ink | Of course, some may take human shape, or avian, or saurian, whatever. |

| 08:59.00 | Liquid_Ink | Instead of going technology so advanced it looks like magic, I'm going to leave it very ambiguous on whether it's superscience or genuine magic. |
| 08:59.07 | Liquid_Ink | Still need some sort of pre-maddening culture for them. |
| 09:00.47 | Wormyaway | Magic is in the mind |
| 09:01.14 | Wormyaway | Even tech can be magical in the most mundane sense |
| 09:02.20 | Wormyaway | Liquid is it NSFU at all? |
| 09:03.57 | Liquid_Ink | No. |
| 09:15.29 | Liquid_Ink | I'll probably have a Lovecraft feel all the way through |

| 11:41.33 | Ghelae | Hello. |
| 11:42.00 | Gaseous_Ink | [21:21] <Gaseous_Ink> One of the more interesting aliens in Lovecraft are the Great Race of Yith. Although looking them up gives a distinct appearence, this is not their true form. They are minds that can swap bodies with any other being, regardless of space and time. |
| 11:42.34 | Wormydroid | Well that would be useful |
| 11:42.45 | Ghelae | Yes; the form that they're most commonly depicted as is actually another species whose minds they swapped with. |
| 11:44.22 | Gaseous_Ink | And at the end of that story they swap with giant beetles in the far future |
| 11:44.31 | Ghelae | Wormy: Orion's Arm has rewritten the "Nanodisaster" into a horrific "Technocalypse" filled with all kinds of ways for our civilisation to self-destruct - http://orionsarm.com/eg-article/559d3b5ae17aa - but they've also provided a new way of making self-replicating nanobots safe - http://orionsarm.com/eg-article/55eaeffea8a81 - make them incapable of holding their self-replicating programming. |
