[GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS! It's Shark Week. No, not that one. SHARKS EVERYWHERE. IN YOUR SOUP. IN YOUR BATHTUB. IN YOUR CLOSET. FLYING THROUGH THE AIR.

[guess who has caught her own shark and is waving it about]

Perhaps Marcy would enjoy a pet.

[runstowardsfire]

So what are you if you're not human?

[bluetilator]

I am Illyria the merciless, God-King of the Primordium. Books call me one of the Old Ones.

[runstowardsfire]

You're a god, but not from this time?

[Ooo--books, but that can be looked up later]

[bluetilator]

I reigned millenia ago before humans inherited the earth.

[runstowardsfire]

Earth as in this planet . . . I suppose it was very different back then. I'm not from earth.

[bluetilator]

Which place do you come from?

[runstowardsfire]

The Discworld. It's a flat world that sounds like something out of obscure earth legends.

[bluetilator]

I have not visited there.

[runstowardsfire]

It might be in a different universe or something. No-one's really heard of it.

[bluetilator]

I have walked through many dimensions. Is it like the world without shrimp?

[runstowardsfire]

No, we have shrimp. It's the world that's flat and sits on the back of four elephants standing on a world turtle.

[bluetilator]

I would like to visit this Discworld.

[runstowardsfire]

There are gods there too--the major ones keep to themselves these days but there are others around most of the time.

[bluetilator]

Is it very violent?

[runstowardsfire]

I don't think so . . . A lot of major wars have ended and the gods aren't fighting each other so much anymore like in the old days.
