World Trees

+ show block

<ARD> I kind of assumed that 3 portlands existed simultaneously across the world kind of like that one SCP about an island that exists in several places at the same time
<GreenWolf> No, it's parallel to our reality
<GreenWolf> or, adjacent at least
<ARD> Ah
<GreenWolf> I have a hyperdimensional model in my head that I'm trying to condense into words
<GreenWolf> but basically, it's not a separate, independent universe
<GreenWolf> but neither is it parts of ours
<ARD> Is it a branch of this reality kind of like a fork on github
<GreenWolf> It's like… the branches on a tree
<GreenWolf> the main universe is the trunk
<GreenWolf> and you have lots of pocket dimensions that branch off from it in different places
<GreenWolf> and sometimes those branches have their own branches
<ARD> But all those pocket dimensions are based on the main reality like using its laws of physics or summat
<GreenWolf> of course, the tree model breaks down a bit when you bring in the fact that a branch can connect to the trunk in multiple places, and links between separate branches can and do exist
<GreenWolf> ARD: yes
<ARD> Neat.
<GreenWolf> Actually, I like this tree model
<ARD> Aren't you the one who came up with it
<GreenWolf> I may flesh it out into a full-thing to explain my headcanon multiversal theory
<GreenWolf> Yes, but I mean, it's more apt than I initially thought
<GreenWolf> like, you can have other realities that are other trees
<GreenWolf> similar realities are trees of the same species
<GreenWolf> trees from other species are radically different
<GreenWolf> etc…
<ARD> Could universes get mashed together like how you can graft branches onto other trees
<GreenWolf> probably
<Baxter> There's a 94% chance.
<GreenWolf> Rip a bit of one universe out and stick it onto another
<ARD> Intriguing
<GreenWolf> Haha, I just realized
<GreenWolf> it's literally a world tree
<GreenWolf> Damn, the norse beat me to it by a few centuries
<ARD> I was thinking you would appease a lot of Norse buffs with this model
<ChaoSera> More like a few millenia

Unicorn Horn

We are twisted individuals

19:20:33 <ARD> Not sure how I feel about demonarcotics being used here
19:20:40 <ARD> the whole point was that it was unique to The Rookie
19:20:47 <~GreenWolf> ARD: yeah, but that's dumb
19:20:48 <AidenEldritch> ARD: fhtagn
19:20:53 <ARD> aw man
19:21:02 <~GreenWolf> ARD: why would you have an entire field of narcotics that only one person can use
19:21:16 <ARD> it's not an entire field
19:21:17 <~GreenWolf> maybe the rookie is just really good at it
19:21:22 <~GreenWolf> really good at getting high
19:22:00 <~GreenWolf> ARD: I mean, the definition we've been working on implies it's kind of an inudstry
19:22:04 <~GreenWolf> like rhino horn
19:22:18 <~GreenWolf> except it actually works
19:22:20 <~GreenWolf> oh man
19:22:26 <ARD> yeah but it's not an industry
19:22:34 <~GreenWolf> what if unicorn horn is an actual aphrodisiac
19:22:40 <~GreenWolf> and that's why unicorns are extinct
19:22:47 <AidenEldritch> I GOT A UNICORN HORN FOR A
19:22:48 <~GreenWolf> orrrr
19:22:50 <~GreenWolf> or or or
19:22:50 <ARD> even better
19:22:54 <ARD> it's a contraceptive
19:22:57 <~GreenWolf> MCD has a herd of them
19:23:03 <~GreenWolf> that they keep locked up
19:23:12 <~GreenWolf> and they harvest the horns and let them regrow
19:23:22 <ARD> unicorn horn is a 100 percent effective contraceptive and most wild unicorns were poached because of it
19:23:29 <~GreenWolf> and this is excruciatingly painful for the unicorns
19:23:32 <~GreenWolf> yes yes yes
19:23:33 <ARD> like that plant the Minoans wiped out
19:23:48 <~GreenWolf> oh my god, this is the MC&D GOI format I've been wanting to do
19:23:55 <~GreenWolf> it's perfect
19:24:13 <Randomini> GreenWolf: this is MC&D we're talking about though
19:24:19 <Randomini> one horn per unicorn is a waste of feed
19:24:23 <Randomini> genetically engineer them all over
19:24:32 <Randomini> most of the modern genefixed unicorn is composed of horn
19:24:32 <&TyGently> oh god yes
19:24:33 <~GreenWolf> oh man
19:24:34 <~GreenWolf> yes
19:24:36 <AidenEldritch> just make their entire skeletal structure out of horn
19:24:43 <AidenEldritch> bone spurs on steroids
19:24:49 <~GreenWolf> this is brilliant
19:24:52 <Randomini> they extrude from the flesh
19:24:58 <Randomini> they have sharp unicorn horn teeth
19:25:00 <&TyGently> body horror unicorn viagra
19:25:08 <~GreenWolf> TyGently: basically
19:25:08 <Randomini> making it impossible for them to graze
19:25:13 <Randomini> that's fine, they're fed intravenously
19:25:36 <Randomini> I really like MC&D, because
19:25:42 <~GreenWolf> I can probably slip a St. Hubert's Key reference in there too
19:25:50 <AidenEldritch> jesus guys they're capitalists not nazis
19:25:51 <Randomini> a whole bunch of really dark shit comes out of maximising efficiency without regard for ethcs
19:25:55 <~GreenWolf> have MC&D use the same process that PL develops to cure lycanthropy
19:26:12 <~GreenWolf> Thaumaturgic Alteration of Genomes
19:26:25 <&TyGently> AidenEldritch: have you ever heard of factory chicken farming
19:26:25 <ARD> wouldn't MC & D outsource the process
19:26:39 <~GreenWolf> ARD: possibly
19:26:42 <~GreenWolf> although PL wouldn't do it
19:26:46 <Randomini> ehhhh
19:26:51 <~GreenWolf> they're mad scientists, but they have ethics
19:26:52 <Randomini> I can't think of anywhere doing it cheaper
19:26:52 <&TyGently> this hypothetical magical industry is still probably less cruel than the real thing that exists
19:26:54 <Randomini> oh
19:26:55 <Randomini> OH
19:27:06 <Randomini> GreenWolf: manna charitable makes a fake group that offers to do it
19:27:07 <ARD> Make sure to specify that it's better than synthetic horn
19:27:14 <Randomini> tries to free the unicorns
19:27:19 <~GreenWolf> and fails
19:27:23 <ARD> because you can easily make a slightly lower-quality synthetic horn that doesn't hurt unicorns
19:27:29 <ARD> but MC & D offers only the highest quality product
19:27:32 <~GreenWolf> oh man, I can get MCF and MCD into Third Law with the same thing
19:27:39 <Randomini> that's the thing, I envision MCF and Serpent's Hand as the only "threats" to MC&D
19:27:47 <ARD> Why Serpent's Hand
19:27:51 <Randomini> some people have disagreed about that on the hub
19:27:57 <Randomini> ARD: anomalous human trafficking
19:28:10 <&TyGently> does MCF care about animal rights?
19:28:24 <ARD> ahh
19:28:30 <Randomini> ARD: I imagine they grabbed a few Serpent's Hand members
19:28:38 <ARD> makes sense
19:28:40 <~GreenWolf> TyGently: sure, why not
19:28:46 <Randomini> and unlike most other GOIs, Serpent's Hand can't be economically intimidated
19:29:17 <&TyGently> idea: an organization tries to crash the unicorn horn market by manufacturing tainted horn that kills you
19:29:30 <&TyGently> or worse, kills your erection
19:29:32 <Randomini> TyGently: I imagine MCF to basically be an ethics committee with no foundation to actually back them up
19:29:52 <~GreenWolf> TyGently: I thought we were going with the contraceptive idea
19:29:53 <&TyGently> Randomini: "This thing is terrible!" "Too bad we can't stop it." "Yeah, too bad."
19:29:57 <~GreenWolf> instead of aphrodisiac
19:30:07 <Randomini> yeah, pretty much
19:30:10 <&TyGently> GreenWolf: okay so instead the tainted horn makes you have babies nonstop
19:30:22 <~GreenWolf> ooof
19:30:30 <Randomini> GreenWolf: well I mean, the unicorn/virginity relationship is real solid
19:30:34 <ARD> Just keep popping them?
19:30:37 <Randomini> so ingesting it makes you a virgin again
19:30:41 <Randomini> this kills the baby
19:30:57 <~GreenWolf> so it's a day after pill
19:31:04 <Randomini> well
19:31:05 <ARD> The unicorn horn allows you to unfuck your life
19:31:08 <Randomini> then you realise though
19:31:14 <Randomini> you can take it while you have adult offspring
19:31:18 <Randomini> and then half their genetic code
19:31:20 <Randomini> is gone.
19:31:21 <AidenEldritch> nononoonononononon
19:31:23 <~GreenWolf> oh
19:31:25 <Randomini> which'd FUCK EM UP GOOD
19:31:25 <~GreenWolf> oh shit
19:31:32 <AidenEldritch> it makes them /semantically/ virgins okay that's better
19:31:33 <~GreenWolf> what about descendants?
19:31:34 <ARD> Randomini: that would probably kill them
19:31:34 — Randomini keeps throwing out great ideas
19:31:45 <~GreenWolf> like, what happens to grand children?
19:31:48 <Randomini> GreenWolf: marginally less fucked but still totally fucked
19:32:02 <~GreenWolf> wow, so this is, like
19:32:15 <~GreenWolf> completely and totally nuking all your descendants
19:32:24 <Randomini> yup
19:32:27 <AidenEldritch> there's something catholic in that
19:32:31 <Randomini> good thing genghis khan's dead
19:32:35 <~GreenWolf> wow, that's probably— oi —
19:32:40 <AidenEldritch> Randomini: oh fuck
19:32:44 <~GreenWolf> that's probably something they pay extra for
19:32:47 <&TyGently> the strangest crossover ever
19:32:50 <&TyGently> golden horn blues
19:34:37 <Randomini> additional thought
19:34:51 <Randomini> unicorn horn would be an amazing insecticide for hive insects
19:34:56 <Randomini> feed it to the queen
19:34:59 <Randomini> colony instadeath
19:35:20 <Randomini> there are a lot of practical things you could do with this unicorn horn
19:35:30 <Randomini> and MC&D would be all over capitalising on them all
19:35:48 <~GreenWolf> Randomini: thank you for this conceptual brainstorming session
19:35:58 <~GreenWolf> I'll be snippeting all this onto my sandbox for later reference
