Cat Day Afternoon

[Innkeeper]

Shandis: "I have not, sorry."

Diter: "The Humans of Earth have a weird song about a purple people eater...."

Purple 4756 sings with a surprisingly good voice "It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater."

Purple 4756: "Yes, Arnold has taught me this song. Upon occasion we have earned coppers and silver singing it. But its relevance to The Purple Unity is not yet clear."

Arnold: "I may owe everyone an apology, again."

Erin: "Not accepted."

Diter: "Yes, that is the song."

Diter: To the new adventuring types. "Where do you come from?"

Zendalalan: "We were just in Woodmanor after our last job and Arnold saw The Inn."

Diter: To the new adventuring types. "Where do you come from?"

Zendalalan: "We were just in Woodmanor after our last job and Arnold saw The Inn."

Diter: "Then we are from the same world. I am out of Arilan City. The Inn is busy today."

More Leomans enter. two more males and three females. Female: "This is where you got to."

Diter: "Some of my mates. Leaur, who was speaking. Stanis the taller male, Rega beside him, Tolin, and Ciria."

Stanis: "We are done with out business. All the leather work sold quickly."

Diter: "Good, have the drink, the place is excellent."

Stanis: "We are done with out business. All the leather work sold quickly."

Diter: "Good, have the drink, the place is excellent."

Arnold looks at Diter: "My condolences."

As Diter's family came in, Purple 4756 stared out the door.

He says "Did you see it? Out there! The PURPLE!"

Arnold "Yeah, I thought it might go like that."

Erin, "Arnold, what? Purple, what?"

Purple 4756 "My home!"

He runs to the door and opens it outside, a purple world.

"We will remember you, always!" Purple 4756 exits the inn.

Erin stands up and goes to the door. It opens on to Woodmanor "Arnold, what happened?"

Arnold "The Inn is a place between worlds, Erin."

Erin: "Yeah, you said that."

Arnold: "When you leave, you go where you belong. Almost always where you come from. But Purple, he was from that purple place. The Inn sent him home."

Erin: "But..."

Arnold toasts the Inn "Thanks guys. It meant a lot to him."

Shoma, Tahn and Losma watch, gobsmacked.

Erin "Is he gone then? Forever?"

Arnold: "That's the way to bet. He's alive and well in the place he was meant to be. If you have to say good bye, that's one of the best ones."

Erin goes to the bar and asks for something stiff "He still owed me 5 gold."

[Innkeeper]

Stanis: "We are done with out business. All the leather work sold quickly."

Diter: "Good, have the drink, the place is excellent."

Arnold looks at Diter: "My condolences."

Diter: Settling in with family. "Why condolences? What is to be unhappy about?"

Shandis: "I think he is single. And at Heart, does not wish to be."

Diter: Settling in with family. "Why condolences? What is to be unhappy about?"

Shandis: "I think he is single. And at Heart, does not wish to be."

Arnold: "This place has touched them. They'll always have a little pull to it, and the weird. Their lives will be interesting, but less safe."

Shandis: "I think he is single. And at Heart, does not wish to be."

Arnold: "This place has touched them. They'll always have a little pull to it, and the weird. Their lives will be interesting, but less safe."

Stanis:"I believe the Greek saying is 'that ship has sailed'. We have been involved for a long time."

Losma, Zendalan and Arnold



Losma stands up “Wait, you mean to tell me that this place leads to other realities? It’s between them? How does that work?”

Zendalalan: **Well, I could show you, but- **

Losma is next to her immediately “Tell me.” A Feral light gleaming in her eyes.

Arnold say “Look out there, the dimensional math can hurt you.”

Losma “What? What? How does that work?”

Zendalalan: **It’s true. Some humanoid minds get broken by the math. It drives you mad.**

Losma: “Oh, then we’re safe. I’m already mad.”

Arnold and Zendalaln look at her.

“What? I’m getting treated.”

Arnold “I like her.”

Zendalalan: “Do you know any Ane? They can help you with this.”

Losma “A Few.”

Zendalan “I shall explain the basics, as well as I can.”

Zendalalan gets a chalkboard out of the back of the Inn and begins to diagram and summarize mutli dimensional math.

Losma watches raptly, asking questions.

Premise - the brain is a pattern machine. It sees the universe in patterns. Multi dimensional math hurts people because the patterns in it are in conflict with their normal patterns

Losma Won is starting a journey - She is going to learn the interface between this his level math and neurology. How the math interacts with the structure of the brain

In time (approx 30 years) She will have a program

Humanoids can step up to learning this math in steps - learning math so as to rewire their brains - in order to handle the next step in the process.

By learning the right high level super science maths in the right way, humanoids can rewire the brain - this process does this in a coherent and directed way

Charles Holly did about 60% of this unintentionally and unawares - he’s not a neurologist the way he’s a mathematician

Losma Won can be both a multidimensional mathmatician and a expert level Neurologist

This new hobby will actually stabilize her. Its difficult and chewy enough, and long term enough for her brain to worry at it while she’s pretending to be a functional person.

Arnold is left behind by all this - he’s just not intellectually gifted enough to keep up.

Tahn Mos buys him a beer “Welcome to the club. Is yours as crazy as ours?”

Arnold nods slowly “It’s nice to be the craziest person in the bar.

Stanis:"I believe the Greek saying is 'that ship has sailed'. We have been involved for a long time."

Arnold: "I wished for a normal life once. The genie gave me one. And then I woke up back in this stuff. I hope you experience is better than mine."
