O the emptiness, (or Avoid the Void)

[shipshapeshipco]

My id... she has gone, far away from this boat, leaving me only five-sixths of a man.  Simultaneously, I feel completely hollowed and filled with tepid water, which is rather confusing.

I suppose I could take a spin around the boat, and maybe visit this new brewpub I've heard so much about. Sergei's was it?

[Well, you're just confusing the heck out of poor Eon.]

Your id? What is that?

[shipshapeshipco]

My Id- the tigress in me that made me howl as if in heat, yearning for the mounting of a mighty golden beast. In the most masculine way possible, of course!

between him and alice my brain is now broken

[dual_dragon]

[Whoa. Whoa.]

That's... interesting, s-sir. Oh, my.

Samuel is Cthulhu

[shipshapeshipco]

Oh yours!

[dual_dragon]

H-Huh?

[shipshapeshipco]

I believe you mean "h-hah!" followed three to ten more similar noises! As such:

[Samuel clears his throat.]

Hah! h-hah! Hoh!

..and so on.

[dual_dragon]

That's not what I-

[Oh, skies above, what was with this man? Maybe changing the subject will help a little.]

...What is your name, sir?

[shipshapeshipco]

I am Samuel. And yours?

[dual_dragon]

I am Lord Eon Charra-Kinra. It's nice to meet you, Sir Samuel.

[shipshapeshipco]

a Lord! How interesting! Tell me, where you born a lord or did you murder your predecessor in his sleep and assume his mantle? Do tell, your secret's safe with meeeee!

[dual_dragon]

What? No, no, no! I was chosen by the Mirror Dragon, and I am its Dragoneye.

[shipshapeshipco]

If the common denominator here is "dragon," then I can accept that you are the eye of a mirror. What I don't understand is why a mirror could choose someone before having its own eyes. Is it some sort of blind mirror, finding its way through your chambers by echo-location?

[dual_dragon]

Um... I think you misunderstand, Sir Samuel. By 'dragon', I meant one of the twelve beasts of Good Fortune. You could call me its 'knight', perhaps?

[shipshapeshipco]

Ah! The twelve beasts! The hyena, the shrew, the puma, the jackelope, the cantaloupe, the hyrax, John Locke... I think Russ was one of them too...

What am I missing?

[dual_dragon]

[...Sigh.]

...You named a fruit. And... other things I do not recognize.

[shipshapeshipco]

Then you should study up on your five beastology, should you not?
