https://pastebin.com/gxZ799GS https://pastebin.com/u/tweakz The Forest By: Foxxxy January 29th 2013 <%Foxxxy> looks like you would need the forest imagery [19:17] and thus you are more receptive to suggests of how to walk and what to build nearby. [19:17] Not a lot. A little Dash progress and a really boring school day :P [19:18] <%Foxxxy> some new material came to me, just floated on in [19:18] sorry to devolve into metaphor, it is the nature of language that the mind is most openly described in familiar terms [19:18] I understand. [19:18] What I'm not quite sure of is how it would happen. [19:18] Ooo... what is it again foxxy? [19:19] Naw that was actually a really good metaphor [19:19] WHich is why I try to explain mental models on my blog. to establish common language. [19:19] Wouldn't the new paths intersect with some of the old ones eventually? [19:19] <%Foxxxy> it would fit perfect for the file you guys are trying to create [19:19] And the listener would fall back into their previous habits, maybe. [19:19] They better, bits. Mostly likely, you wouldn't be so far off the path. eventually the noice of trafic or nearby cities would draw you back. [19:19] Mind telling us what it is? [19:19] <%Foxxxy> starting with a guided walk ino the woods, as the tonalities and coloring start to shift darker and darker [19:19] Otherwise they would be building entirely new. [19:20] such a file would need a trigger, or some other link, a small path that would be normally ignored but might eventually lead the listener back to their old ways [19:20] <%Foxxxy> it would start off just being a relaxing walk in a cities edge park [19:20] and if done well, it would be one they could use to return on later trips. [19:20] Like a tiny little dirt road that's hidden by a cornfield or something? [19:21] sure, that works. [19:21] <%Foxxxy> seein the playground equiptment the wind rustling sort of greysapped [19:21] What I'm failing to understand, and this isn't any fault of yours, is how you cause the mind to get lost in itself. [19:21] <%Foxxxy> some trash on the ground, maybe a junkies needle or two over by the trash can and you would keep on walking [19:21] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi0KZrabhlM [19:21] CallMeDash: YouTube - Eminem-lose yourself (lyrics) - length 4m 48s - rated 4.68/5.0 (608) - 164,036 views - francescogrenci95 on 18.10.2012 [19:21] <%Foxxxy> into the treeline along somepony elses path [19:22] Lose yourself in the moment [19:22] Confusion, misdirection. To use the metaphor, you make a false road, or you make something very interesting appear and have them follow it. [19:22] The whole time I'm under, I'm either conscious of every change I feel, or I completely blank out and snap back to consciousness a little wile later. [19:22] Not in music, in this case, but [19:22] <%Foxxxy> as it keeps on darkening [19:22] Action: Wishdream is listening to foxxxy [19:22] I think I would need an extremely long file really get lost in my own mind. [19:22] ^ [19:23] ^ [19:23] And at that point I'd consider it not even worth it.... [19:23] I mean, TO really get lost. [19:23] I would totally consider it worth it! [19:23] <%Foxxxy> they would get lost in the time of it all, before looking up to see a starry night sky surrounded by trees and bush, a dark seattle forest [19:23] The other thing is, such a file would have to avoid places you've already been to in your mind, otherwise you would just make a new dirt road to a place you've already nbeen. [19:24] So it would have to be personally made, then? [19:24] <%Foxxxy> with no clue where they are, completely lost, the sit down by a near stuff as ominious sounds echo in the distance [19:24] It's simply too difficult for me to ignore the sensation of my own body BEING while I'm under, so I can't shake the thought "I'm going to change from what I am" and think "I am now." [19:24] Eracoy (~Eracoy@B8AFBCB4.8035C353.A60AAEC2.IP) joined #Pony_Hypno. [19:25] <%Foxxxy> it would then begin to rain, softly at the start but gradually begining to cresendo into a deafening roar, the pure power of nature leaving you in awe [19:25] Doctor_Whoa (cgiirc@Rizon-2DAB7B4D.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net) joined #Pony_Hypno. [19:25] I'm in Bits' situation here (Also paying attention to FOxxxy) [19:25] <%Foxxxy> you would have to start stumbling around, looking for shelter, already drenched, but having to find some saftey from the wind [19:26] I'm visualing the scene as Foxxxy goes. [19:26] ^ [19:26] We should be recording this stuff. [19:26] I'm copying the script for later... when I'm not in class. [19:26] <%Foxxxy> would so see some sort of abandoned building, a cottage or old treehouse ? most likely [19:26] But I've stayed as long as is literally possible for now, so bye all. [19:26] Bits (~FBit@Rizon-E0ADC99D.nat.okstate.edu) left irc: Quit: Leaving. [19:27] Logging foxxxy's findings atm. [19:27] Nick change: starlite -> starlite-[nomming] [19:27] Oh bye bits [19:27] <%Foxxxy> it's probably old, abandoned for decades, but it was probably the glorious excape, the pride and joy of the three fillies who created it years ago [19:27] ... [19:27] <%Foxxxy> but it's wretched and abandoned now [19:28] A dark world of Equestria... [19:28] <%Foxxxy> but it seems like it will do the trick of protecting you from the wind, so you decide to climb up the ladder [19:28] *Stairs I thought? [19:29] <%Foxxxy> whatever they may be, some boards breaking underhoof, as the wind whistles in your ears [19:29] <%Foxxxy> so slowly would climb inside, tears begining to form in your already soaked eyes [19:30] <%Foxxxy> sitting down, you might begin to look around [19:30] <%Foxxxy> shivering as your coat is soaked all the way down [19:30] <%Foxxxy> shivering, cold, blank and bleak [19:31] powerful story writing. I like it. [19:31] <%Foxxxy> do you look around in this seemingly hollow place that was supposedly filled with emotion [19:32] <%Foxxxy> there is pictures and drawings covering the walls, yellowedwith age, a newspaper article or two [19:32] hmmm... [19:32] <%Foxxxy> a picture of three smiling little fillies, rocking you to the depths of your heart [19:33] ...sweetie belle. [19:34] <%Foxxxy> you reach out with a hoof to touch it, nopony has been here in a while, so you decide to take it, slipping it into your sachel as you curl up on the floor, and close your eyes [19:35] <%Foxxxy> imagery bursts forth, filling your minds as you lie shivering under that sewn quilt [19:35] I could imagine. so deep. [19:36] <%Foxxxy> your attention shifting to the wind and the creaking of the floorboards, before quickly going tdown the trail it was before [19:36] <%Foxxxy> you believe nothing could disturb you now, alone, just you and your fillyhood memories [19:37] is this like for the cmc? [19:38] <%Foxxxy> you would possibly, and in fact most likely now, stroke your mane once before falling into a nice deep sleep, exahling one hot brath and falling into a trance [19:38] klux[Shadow] (cgiirc@6E931B0.D2FB7C4B.B0870828.IP) joined #Pony_Hypno.

I want a copy though. [19:45] <%Foxxxy> but where are you, you take a deep slow breath and look around once again [19:46] <%Foxxxy> you really should stop watching those after dark horror movies, it sure is taking a toll on you, but you have been working som much lapsing into a deep sleep as soon as you get to your appartment [19:47] <%Foxxxy> and when you wake up it is always dark outside luna's moon and dark sky pride, illuminating with a menacing glow [19:48] <%Foxxxy> just like now, but it seems different, you look down at your cutiemark and what do you see ?
