authorofdiscord (7:00:01 PM): I think I did miss your name, ah, ConsumerAddict?
ConsumerAddict03 (7:00:07 PM): Matt.
authorofdiscord (7:00:39 PM): I am Sebastian.
authorofdiscord (7:06:25 PM): I don't suppose you have any more clue or idea what's going on than anyone else here?
ConsumerAddict03 (7:06:46 PM): Not yet, no.
authorofdiscord (7:07:18 PM): Fair enough. I suppose if anyone did know more than another here, it'd be as much a warning sign as anything else.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:07:43 PM): I doubt anyone would be stupid enough to believe it at this point anyway.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:07:59 PM): If I told you I knew the answers, would you accept what I said they were?
authorofdiscord (7:08:15 PM): Probably not.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:08:16 PM): I sure as hell wouldn't accept anything any of you would give me.
authorofdiscord (7:08:27 PM): Or I would at least suspect you of being involved, if you knew too much.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:08:43 PM): I'm not convinced you all aren't involved, anyway.
authorofdiscord (7:09:26 PM): There really isn't any guarantee for any of us. At this point, I am not sure that even someone familiar would be an assurance that it wasn't some kind of deception.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:10:03 PM): Exactly.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:10:31 PM): Of course any information any of you could give might still be useful. But I really doubt anyone trusts anyone here yet. If they ever will.
trippin vulpines (7:10:39 PM): mm
ara dysphoria (7:11:03 PM): There will probably never be full assurance someone else is not somehow involved, or bought off.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:11:21 PM): I can't think of any way there would be.
ara dysphoria (7:12:16 PM): If our captors deem someone problematic enough to kill them and it can be confirmed that they are dead, then the odds of them having been in on it from the beginning might be lower, unless our captors place a low value on their own lives or are gambling off each other.
ara dysphoria (7:13:15 PM): But, for now, it is not as if we have a way to tell either way or anything that could be done about someone, yes?
ConsumerAddict03 (7:14:18 PM): I've known people who would kill off their own just to make themselves look better or further their goals.
trippin vulpines (7:14:46 PM): ... bah
ConsumerAddict03 (7:14:55 PM): Also, if its possible here to make people think they've become a different species or returned from the dead, why couldn't they fake someone's death?
ara dysphoria (7:15:02 PM): We have been put in quite the puzzle.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:15:47 PM): Yeah
ara dysphoria (7:15:51 PM): The irony is that as things stand, none of us likely have the resources or ability to decipher this by ourselves.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:16:03 PM): And yet we can't trust anyone to help us.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:16:05 PM): Feh
ara dysphoria (7:16:35 PM): Well, trust may be an issue, but it is still possible to make use of someone without trust.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:16:44 PM): Hm
ara dysphoria (7:16:53 PM): It is merely something useful when it is available, if it is possible and feasible.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:17:03 PM): I guess.
trippin vulpines (7:18:33 PM): ...
ara dysphoria (7:18:59 PM): (If it turns out that the other actually is another victim, then depending on how one goes about it, it would be possible to work toward something mutually beneficial without necessarily trusting them as such, if one were cautious, and may not be an offense?)
ConsumerAddict03 (7:19:19 PM): Yeah....
ara dysphoria (7:20:06 PM): (Particularly when it may be all that one has, at least for a time.)
ConsumerAddict03 (7:20:23 PM): Its something to consider.
ara dysphoria (7:22:10 PM): Something of an academic exercise for the moment, anyway. As long as one is guarding one's weaknesses, and no-one has a clue or has attempted anything yet.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:22:22 PM): What was your name, again?
ara dysphoria (7:22:26 PM): Neuro
ConsumerAddict03 (7:22:32 PM): Ah, right.
ara dysphoria (7:25:10 PM): I would be one of the others that was also taken from Tokyo in the same era, it seems
ConsumerAddict03 (7:25:27 PM): Yeah, same year as me, apparently.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:26:00 PM): ...what was going on around then? For you.
trippin vulpines (7:26:20 PM): ... i am starting to wonder if there aren't differing realms
ConsumerAddict03 (7:26:37 PM): ?
ara dysphoria (7:26:41 PM): ??? Well, the city was rebuilding from the flood, and having difficulties with other large-scale damage done by the same group
trippin vulpines (7:26:44 PM): in all the realms i know of, there is no tokyo
ConsumerAddict03 (7:26:55 PM): They told us we came from different worlds.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:27:00 PM): And not the same world as me, then.
authorofdiscord (7:27:03 PM): I know of Tokyo, but never heard of Konoha.
trippin vulpines (7:27:10 PM): .. so that's what was on that dinky piece of paper
ConsumerAddict03 (7:27:27 PM): ...yes. The newsletter gave us their story of what is going on here.
ara dysphoria (7:27:38 PM): Tokyo was not flooded by someone damaging the flood-control system during a typhoon where you are from?
trippin vulpines (7:27:46 PM): i was distracted upon revival.
trippin vulpines (7:27:49 PM): [ arrival* ]
ConsumerAddict03 (7:27:57 PM): No. Or, at least, not that happened before I...well...whatever happened to me.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:28:14 PM): What month, Neuro?
authorofdiscord (7:28:19 PM): I'm rather loathe to trust any information it gives, but either there's a large number of plants or they have very widespread span of kidnappings.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:28:36 PM): I don't trust what it gives, but it does give us the story they want us to believe. Its at least somewhat useful.
ara dysphoria (7:28:40 PM): It was about August I think? The flood happened at the end of 2009
ConsumerAddict03 (7:28:54 PM): Ah...wouldn't be my world anyway.
authorofdiscord (7:29:06 PM): (Any lie tends to have clues to what the person fabricating it is thinking; lies made from too much whole-cloth don't stand.)
ConsumerAddict03 (7:29:13 PM): Usually, yes.
authorofdiscord (7:30:37 PM): I would like to think it's possible to glean some clues, at least; the issue of how much information about our situation they can control makes that more problematic.
Alwaysaboom (7:31:19 PM): bck
ConsumerAddict03 (7:31:26 PM): wb
authorofdiscord (7:31:28 PM): Welcome back, Commander.
Alwaysaboom (7:31:43 PM): Mr.Sebastian
authorofdiscord (7:32:43 PM): I wish I could place myself against any of the others familiar with Earth as I knew it, but I'm afraid I'm from the wrong period in time, most likely.
Alwaysaboom (7:33:12 PM): I met a Mr.Sebastian who claied to be from London in that periond
Alwaysaboom (7:33:24 PM): He was held in stasis by the Vorlons
authorofdiscord (7:33:41 PM): Oh? Were there any particularly unusual events he remembered?
Alwaysaboom (7:33:58 PM): I think he was Jack the Ripper honestly
authorofdiscord (7:34:04 PM): ... ... ...
ConsumerAddict03 (7:34:06 PM): Huh.
authorofdiscord (7:34:08 PM): Well, there may be my clue, then
Alwaysaboom (7:34:13 PM): Yes?
authorofdiscord (7:34:16 PM): ....
Alwaysaboom (7:34:27 PM): Don't tell me that's you?
authorofdiscord (7:34:50 PM): Oh definitely not.
authorofdiscord (7:35:31 PM): Unless your Mr. Sebastian had a fondness for red, possible flamboyant tendencies, and was loonier than a vat full of drunken shrikes, it would be a different individual than our Jack the Ripper.
authorofdiscord (7:35:44 PM): (Granted that the twit could be a damn good actor when he... she.... it .... whatever wanted to be...)
Alwaysaboom (7:36:01 PM): I wouldn't know him from that tme. By ours he was broken, remorseful, and bitter
Alwaysaboom (7:36:25 PM): The vorlons had connected him ind with those of his victims
authorofdiscord (7:36:27 PM): .....
trippin vulpines (7:36:27 PM): .... ft
authorofdiscord (7:37:00 PM): If it was Grell, then ... I suppose it would've been possible to break him mentally by then, but scarily I would shudder to think what could change his behavior that much. ...unless he was on an act.
authorofdiscord (7:37:29 PM): .... ..... mmmm, with circumstances around our Ripper, the mind-link would not likely be that much of a trauma, seeing as how he...she .... could pick up on the memories of the victims anyway
Alwaysaboom (7:37:36 PM): The one I met, seemed to be human
authorofdiscord (7:38:53 PM): .... This is a headache. I would think it wasn't, but then, ours did a perfectly fine job posing as human. I'd blink at the name if it did turn out to be the same individual after centuries and trauma, but ours did get slightly obsessed with me.
authorofdiscord (7:40:58 PM): Either way, if your Jack the ripper was human, and was that broken by the memories of his victims, it's likely a different individual.
authorofdiscord (7:41:30 PM): And ours getting abducted by aliens would be more of a small mercy, honestly.
Alwaysaboom (7:41:37 PM): Well, not the memories only, as far as I can tell. ANd he was still a prick
authorofdiscord (7:42:34 PM): I'd have further questions, but it might depend on your knowledge of specific cases that may not've been very well documented and may not have registered as very important after a few centuries.
Alwaysaboom (7:43:05 PM): I don't know much aobut the cases
authorofdiscord (7:43:11 PM): ..... .... I'd still wonder at if it was an act, if it was the same person.
Alwaysaboom (7:43:15 PM): Only vaugely know of the fampous killer
authorofdiscord (7:43:19 PM): Aaaah.
authorofdiscord (7:44:26 PM): When I first met ours, he was acting as a mousy, timid, uncoordinated wallflower, and I may not've noticed him as much if I couldn't tell that he wasn't human as he was pretending to be.
authorofdiscord (7:44:46 PM): It makes identifying if someone else was him elsewhere by descriptions troublesome.
Alwaysaboom (7:45:24 PM): I would imagine
authorofdiscord (7:47:43 PM): Thank you for the attempt, at least.
Alwaysaboom (7:48:11 PM): The one I met was piggish, arrogant, and a prick
Alwaysaboom (7:48:38 PM): But he admitted it was in vain, and you could see the pain inside him. very difficult to understand.
Alwaysaboom (7:48:57 PM): But then, he's served several centuries in pennance so...
authorofdiscord (7:49:18 PM): Indeed... centuries can change quite a bit, even in an immortal.
Alwaysaboom (7:50:08 PM): I'm sure you would know
authorofdiscord (7:51:01 PM): Well, I would like to think otherwise, but I think I may not even be the same as I was maybe fifty years ago, much less several hundred.
trippin vulpines (7:51:22 PM):
Alwaysaboom (7:53:43 PM) has left the room.
Amber Greywind (7:55:41 PM) has entered the room.
Amber Greywind (7:56:20 PM): (just pretend this is Ivanova >: ( )
ConsumerAddict03 (7:56:31 PM): ((will do))
authorofdiscord (7:56:44 PM): ((Ah, AIMfail. *salute*))
Amber Greywind (7:56:46 PM): (DO not know what happened to AIM)
ConsumerAddict03 (7:56:58 PM): ((its a tempermental little bitch, is what happened))
trippin vulpines (7:56:59 PM): (( *pat* ))
Amber Greywind (7:57:05 PM): (lol)
Amber Greywind (7:57:35 PM): Hmm this message system does not seem terribly responsive.
ara dysphoria (7:58:07 PM): It could be tampered with. Or it could merely be that all technology has its failings. 8D
ConsumerAddict03 (7:58:22 PM): They may leave it buggy on purpose.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:58:32 PM): There aren't many obvious holes, though.
Amber Greywind (7:59:15 PM): Well, you have to type. No voice activation It's pretty primative.
ara dysphoria (7:59:54 PM): Text is easier to search for keywords when monitoring for potential trouble >w>
Amber Greywind (8:00:06 PM): Slower though
ConsumerAddict03 (8:00:20 PM): depends on the software, I guess.
Amber Greywind (8:00:33 PM): Perhaps
ConsumerAddict03 (8:00:40 PM): text seems easier to keep logs of for quickly checking over in the future, though.
Amber Greywind (8:00:57 PM): I suppose
ConsumerAddict03 (8:06:00 PM): there also might be a voice recognition system we just haven't accessed yet.
Amber Greywind (8:06:14 PM): I tried on my omputer
ConsumerAddict03 (8:06:19 PM): ah
Amber Greywind (8:07:54 PM): I wonder if they'd let us have a garden here. I want real coffee
authorofdiscord (8:09:36 PM): I would appreciate being able to grow real spices, as well.
Amber Greywind (8:12:00 PM): I'm used to synthetics for the most part, but real coffee.
Amber Greywind (8:12:18 PM): Although, I did notice they have real meat and eggs in the vending machines.
authorofdiscord (8:13:05 PM): Yes, although I suppose it falls under attempting to lessen complaints. small comforts, and all.
Amber Greywind (8:14:31 PM): But it's amazong. On Babylon 5 a steak was a small fortune. Eggs were impossible to get.
authorofdiscord (8:17:27 PM): It would seem for some reason that it's easier to get such things here, then
Amber Greywind (8:17:41 PM): Which hurts my hypothesis
Amber Greywind (8:18:09 PM): I had considered this must be a spacestation. But if they can get real beef, they must have a trade conduit to earth, one fast enough to bring in fresh meat.
ara dysphoria (8:18:25 PM): Or a place nearby to acquire it from, or raise it
Amber Greywind (8:19:11 PM): True. I suppose thye could have smuggled cows off of Earth.
Amber Greywind (8:19:28 PM): Or they have better synth stuff than I've had before.
ara dysphoria (8:20:06 PM): If they can alter nonhumans enough for them to be stuck with human limitations~
Amber Greywind (8:20:25 PM): Ah, so it could be soilent green.
authorofdiscord (8:20:37 PM): Soylent....green?
ara dysphoria (8:20:49 PM): ((*uncorrect spelling there >_>; *soilent*)
Amber Greywind (8:21:23 PM): (fft :P well she might have mispelling it IC.... yeah... totally not me)
Amber Greywind (8:21:39 PM): A old story.. nevermind
ConsumerAddict03 (8:21:42 PM): ...people?
ConsumerAddict03 (8:21:53 PM): You... don't think....
ara dysphoria (8:22:08 PM): One never truly knows, with what they've managed so far 8D
Amber Greywind (8:22:14 PM): Well... If we don't know what it is.
ConsumerAddict03 (8:22:20 PM): ...ugh. I guess.
authorofdiscord (8:22:46 PM): ... I think you lost me somewhere.
Amber Greywind (8:24:54 PM): A story where they recycled corpses as food
authorofdiscord (8:25:38 PM): ..................... If that's what they're doing, they've certainly done quite a job making it seem like what they're passing it off as.
Amber Greywind (8:26:06 PM): Just saying, if it's not really beef but tastes this much like it.. it could be anything
Amber Greywind (8:26:15 PM): Worse it could be.........vegetrian
ara dysphoria (8:27:27 PM): A horrible fate indeed.
ConsumerAddict03 (8:29:36 PM): I think I'll stick to the junk food either way.
Amber Greywind (8:32:18 PM): Wel, we don't know what that's made out of either
ConsumerAddict03 (8:32:36 PM): Its less likely to be human if it isn't meat.
ara dysphoria (8:32:38 PM): It could be the same thing, if they are using the same materials 8D
ConsumerAddict03 (8:32:52 PM): I've realised that, thanks.
Amber Greywind (8:33:27 PM): Honestly, I would say think smaller than humans
Amber Greywind (8:33:30 PM): More legs
ConsumerAddict03 (8:33:37 PM): That doesn't bother me.
Amber Greywind (8:39:59 PM): Yeah..
Amber Greywind (8:42:02 PM): So does anyone know how to shut off the sprinkler system? Or at least make it less sensative?
authorofdiscord (8:42:39 PM): Not attempt to burn the furniture. (I'm afraid not, I haven't encountered a sprinkler system before to have a clue.)
ConsumerAddict03 (8:42:40 PM): I'm looking into it...
ConsumerAddict03 (8:43:02 PM): I only managed to set it off so far. If I get it, do you want me to just disable it for the whole apartment?
Amber Greywind (8:43:04 PM): If it does off from a cigarette.. cooking is going to get interesting
Amber Greywind (8:43:19 PM): It would be nice to be able to light a candle
authorofdiscord (8:43:34 PM): It seems to distinguish cooking from smoking, at least. Granted i haven't tried anything extravagant as yet.
ConsumerAddict03 (8:43:35 PM): Candles usually give off considerably less smoke...not sure about cooking.
Amber Greywind (8:45:04 PM): that is true
ConsumerAddict03 (8:50:12 PM) has left the room.
Amber Greywind (9:43:37 PM):

authorofdiscord (7:37:29 PM): .... ..... mmmm, with circumstances around our Ripper, the mind-link would not likely be that much of a trauma, seeing as how he...she .... could pick up on the memories of the victims anyway
Alwaysaboom (7:37:36 PM): The one I met, seemed to be human
authorofdiscord (7:38:53 PM): .... This is a headache. I would think it wasn't, but then, ours did a perfectly fine job posing as human. I'd blink at the name if it did turn out to be the same individual after centuries and trauma, but ours did get slightly obsessed with me.
authorofdiscord (7:40:58 PM): Either way, if your Jack the ripper was human, and was that broken by the memories of his victims, it's likely a different individual.
authorofdiscord (7:41:30 PM): And ours getting abducted by aliens would be more of a small mercy, honestly.
Alwaysaboom (7:41:37 PM): Well, not the memories only, as far as I can tell. ANd he was still a prick
authorofdiscord (7:42:34 PM): I'd have further questions, but it might depend on your knowledge of specific cases that may not've been very well documented and may not have registered as very important after a few centuries.
Alwaysaboom (7:43:05 PM): I don't know much aobut the cases
authorofdiscord (7:43:11 PM): ..... .... I'd still wonder at if it was an act, if it was the same person.
Alwaysaboom (7:43:15 PM): Only vaugely know of the fampous killer
authorofdiscord (7:43:19 PM): Aaaah.
authorofdiscord (7:44:26 PM): When I first met ours, he was acting as a mousy, timid, uncoordinated wallflower, and I may not've noticed him as much if I couldn't tell that he wasn't human as he was pretending to be.
authorofdiscord (7:44:46 PM): It makes identifying if someone else was him elsewhere by descriptions troublesome.
Alwaysaboom (7:45:24 PM): I would imagine
authorofdiscord (7:47:43 PM): Thank you for the attempt, at least.
Alwaysaboom (7:48:11 PM): The one I met was piggish, arrogant, and a prick
Alwaysaboom (7:48:38 PM): But he admitted it was in vain, and you could see the pain inside him. very difficult to understand.
Alwaysaboom (7:48:57 PM): But then, he's served several centuries in pennance so...
authorofdiscord (7:49:18 PM): Indeed... centuries can change quite a bit, even in an immortal.
Alwaysaboom (7:50:08 PM): I'm sure you would know
authorofdiscord (7:51:01 PM): Well, I would like to think otherwise, but I think I may not even be the same as I was maybe fifty years ago, much less several hundred.
trippin vulpines (7:51:22 PM):
Alwaysaboom (7:53:43 PM) has left the room.
Amber Greywind (7:55:41 PM) has entered the room.
Amber Greywind (7:56:20 PM): (just pretend this is Ivanova >: ( )
ConsumerAddict03 (7:56:31 PM): ((will do))
authorofdiscord (7:56:44 PM): ((Ah, AIMfail. *salute*))
Amber Greywind (7:56:46 PM): (DO not know what happened to AIM)
ConsumerAddict03 (7:56:58 PM): ((its a tempermental little bitch, is what happened))
trippin vulpines (7:56:59 PM): (( *pat* ))
Amber Greywind (7:57:05 PM): (lol)
Amber Greywind (7:57:35 PM): Hmm this message system does not seem terribly responsive.
ara dysphoria (7:58:07 PM): It could be tampered with. Or it could merely be that all technology has its failings. 8D
ConsumerAddict03 (7:58:22 PM): They may leave it buggy on purpose.
ConsumerAddict03 (7:58:32 PM): There aren't many obvious holes, though.
Amber Greywind (7:59:15 PM): Well, you have to type. No voice activation It's pretty primative.
ara dysphoria (7:59:54 PM): Text is easier to search for keywords when monitoring for potential trouble >w>
Amber Greywind (8:00:06 PM): Slower though
ConsumerAddict03 (8:00:20 PM): depends on the software, I guess.
Amber Greywind (8:00:33 PM): Perhaps
ConsumerAddict03 (8:00:40 PM): text seems easier to keep logs of for quickly checking over in the future, though.
Amber Greywind (8:00:57 PM): I suppose
ConsumerAddict03 (8:06:00 PM): there also might be a voice recognition system we just haven't accessed yet.
Amber Greywind (8:06:14 PM): I tried on my omputer
ConsumerAddict03 (8:06:19 PM): ah
Amber Greywind (8:07:54 PM): I wonder if they'd let us have a garden here. I want real coffee
authorofdiscord (8:09:36 PM): I would appreciate being able to grow real spices, as well.
Amber Greywind (8:12:00 PM): I'm used to synthetics for the most part, but real coffee.
Amber Greywind (8:12:18 PM): Although, I did notice they have real meat and eggs in the vending machines.
authorofdiscord (8:13:05 PM): Yes, although I suppose it falls under attempting to lessen complaints. small comforts, and all.
Amber Greywind (8:14:31 PM): But it's amazong. On Babylon 5 a steak was a small fortune. Eggs were impossible to get.
authorofdiscord (8:17:27 PM): It would seem for some reason that it's easier to get such things here, then
Amber Greywind (8:17:41 PM): Which hurts my hypothesis
Amber Greywind (8:18:09 PM): I had considered this must be a spacestation. But if they can get real beef, they must have a trade conduit to earth, one fast enough to bring in fresh meat.
ara dysphoria (8:18:25 PM): Or a place nearby to acquire it from, or raise it
Amber Greywind (8:19:11 PM): True. I suppose thye could have smuggled cows off of Earth.
Amber Greywind (8:19:28 PM): Or they have better synth stuff than I've had before.
ara dysphoria (8:20:06 PM): If they can alter nonhumans enough for them to be stuck with human limitations~
Amber Greywind (8:20:25 PM): Ah, so it could be soilent green.
authorofdiscord (8:20:37 PM): Soylent....green?
ara dysphoria (8:20:49 PM): ((*uncorrect spelling there >_>; *soilent*)
Amber Greywind (8:21:23 PM): (fft :P well she might have mispelling it IC.... yeah... totally not me)
Amber Greywind (8:21:39 PM): A old story.. nevermind
ConsumerAddict03 (8:21:42 PM): ...people?
ConsumerAddict03 (8:21:53 PM): You... don't think....
ara dysphoria (8:22:08 PM): One never truly knows, with what they've managed so far 8D
Amber Greywind (8:22:14 PM): Well... If we don't know what it is.
ConsumerAddict03 (8:22:20 PM): ...ugh. I guess.
authorofdiscord (8:22:46 PM): ... I think you lost me somewhere.
Amber Greywind (8:24:54 PM): A story where they recycled corpses as food
authorofdiscord (8:25:38 PM): ..................... If that's what they're doing, they've certainly done quite a job making it seem like what they're passing it off as.
Amber Greywind (8:26:06 PM): Just saying, if it's not really beef but tastes this much like it.. it could be anything
Amber Greywind (8:26:15 PM): Worse it could be.........vegetrian
ara dysphoria (8:27:27 PM): A horrible fate indeed.
ConsumerAddict03 (8:29:36 PM): I think I'll stick to the junk food either way.
Amber Greywind (8:32:18 PM): Wel, we don't know what that's made out of either
ConsumerAddict03 (8:32:36 PM): Its less likely to be human if it isn't meat.
ara dysphoria (8:32:38 PM): It could be the same thing, if they are using the same materials 8D
ConsumerAddict03 (8:32:52 PM): I've realised that, thanks.
Amber Greywind (8:33:27 PM): Honestly, I would say think smaller than humans
Amber Greywind (8:33:30 PM): More legs
ConsumerAddict03 (8:33:37 PM): That doesn't bother me.
Amber Greywind (8:39:59 PM): Yeah..
Amber Greywind (8:42:02 PM): So does anyone know how to shut off the sprinkler system? Or at least make it less sensative?
authorofdiscord (8:42:39 PM): Not attempt to burn the furniture. (I'm afraid not, I haven't encountered a sprinkler system before to have a clue.)
ConsumerAddict03 (8:42:40 PM): I'm looking into it...
ConsumerAddict03 (8:43:02 PM): I only managed to set it off so far. If I get it, do you want me to just disable it for the whole apartment?
Amber Greywind (8:43:04 PM): If it does off from a cigarette.. cooking is going to get interesting
Amber Greywind (8:43:19 PM): It would be nice to be able to light a candle
authorofdiscord (8:43:34 PM): It seems to distinguish cooking from smoking, at least. Granted i haven't tried anything extravagant as yet.
ConsumerAddict03 (8:43:35 PM): Candles usually give off considerably less smoke...not sure about cooking.
Amber Greywind (8:45:04 PM): that is true
ConsumerAddict03 (8:50:12 PM) has left the room.
Amber Greywind (9:43:37 PM):
