This is my conversation with orelious, Chay Casso's entry in the eliza contest. It is about 170 lines long. There are a few repeated lines, but the 3 characters in one body arguing with itself concept really worked, since it could ignore me sometimes.

Orelious speaks: (You are on the computer when you see a flash of light, and suddenly you're in the middle of a large laboratory. There is a chalk circle on the ground, in front of which is...) "Oh dear. How ever did *you* get here?"

What do you wish to say? There was a flash of light, and then I was here.

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Why, this is our lab. Don't you know proper scientific equipment when you see it?

What do you wish to say? I don't know.

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Well, it's not like we know either. Here we go, minding our own business, when poof! There you are. Cianna, what'd you do this time?

What do you wish to say? I'm not Cianna

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Hi there, little one. I am Cianna the Lioness. I'm the one that created the spell which brought you here.

What do you wish to say? Hello ma'am. what else did the spell do?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Well, ahem, the spell we were trying to cast was an interdimensional teleport spell. We were trying to get home. Instead, we bring you here.

What do you wish to say? where is here?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ The circle in the middle should be obvious for what this place is. Oh, you're human. Well, it's magic.

What do you wish to say? I don't know much about magic.

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Me? It was you who decided to research the spell.

What do you wish to say? what? I did nothing

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Yes, but you're the one that wanted it.

What do you wish to say? how did you know that?

Orelious speaks: ~Snake~ Oh, shut up, both of you.

What do you wish to say? okay. I'll shut up if you tell me where I am.

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Emrys, Emrys, are you around? Darn, that unicorn is never around when we need him. *Goat* And that's a surprise?

What do you wish to say? what unicorn?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Oh, Emrys is a dear, dear friend of ours. The only other survivor of Mogri. Wondrous with magic. But we never see him.

What do you wish to say? What is Mogri?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ We had a home on the planet of Mogri, in a nice little woodlands there. But it was all destroyed.

What do you wish to say? how was it destroyed?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Dear, I don't think the Goat really wants to talk about this...

What do you wish to say? okay. where are we now?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Please, I really think it's not necessary...

What do you wish to say? what should I do?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Oh dear...have to find a way to get you back...shouldn't have happened. *gets a book out*

What do you wish to say? what book is that?

Orelious speaks: *Lioness* Oh, this is the Book of Mogri. The last remains of our homeland. Maybe it'll have an answer.

What do you wish to say? what kind of answer?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* (paging through the book) Well, let's see...Dimension Teleport...ingredients, mixing ratio, gestures, incantation...there are so many steps, it may be difficult to find.

What do you wish to say? find what?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* I'm not sure I know what you're talking about. Can you rephrase that?

What do you wish to say? what are you looking for in the book?

Orelious speaks: (Of the Wonders and Magic of Mogri)

What do you wish to say? a spell to take me home? where am I now?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* We could try to send you home...of course, we could end up sending you into another dimension if we make a mistake again...we'll try not to.

What do you wish to say? where am I? maybe I want to stay.

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ This is our place to try spells and such without getting into too much trouble with the outside. Don't want to blow up this world.

What do you wish to say? what world is outside?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Well, our world lately has been the laboratory...

What do you wish to say? can I step out of the circle and into the laboratory?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* You're in our lab. We created this lab as our private sanctuary for experiments in science and magic. Unforunately, your coming seems to have made quite a mess...it's going to take forever to clean it up.

What do you wish to say? can I help clean it up?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Oh, of course you can help us. Here, hold this. (hands you a book)

What do you wish to say? what book is this?

Orelious speaks: *Lioness* Oh, this is the Book of Mogri. The last remains of our homeland. Maybe it'll have an answer.

What do you wish to say? what kind of book is it?

Orelious speaks: (Of the Wonders and Magic of Mogri)

What do you wish to say? can I do magic?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ We are a mage of some renown around here...I don't suppose you've heard of us. Well, we cast spells sometimes the Goat makes a potion or two.

What do you wish to say? can I join you?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Well, I try to create multi-purpose potions for the house, but they rarely work...and when they do, people are often a little too surprised that it has to enjoy it. And we so rarely get paid...

What do you wish to say? can I help you?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* No, no, you'll be no help to us at all. We just have to get you back somehow.

What do you wish to say? I want to stay.

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Emrys, Emrys, are you around? Darn, that unicorn is never around when we need him. *Goat* And that's a surprise?

What do you wish to say? Emrys?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Darn, that blue unicorn never cares about anything. We ask him to help, and we don't see him again. Where is he?

What do you wish to say? the unicorn is over there behind the beakers

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Oh, Emrys is a dear, dear friend of ours. The only other survivor of Mogri. Wondrous with magic. But we never see him.

What do you wish to say? so there are three of you?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Well, we've always been of three minds about things...but we deal with it.

What do you wish to say? Do goats, unicorns and lionesses work together often on Mogri?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ We were born on Mogri. We almost died there. It was a great war, and I fear our home was lost for all time.

What do you wish to say? how much of Mogri is left?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ We were born on Mogri. We almost died there. It was a great war, and I fear our home was lost for all time.

What do you wish to say? lost? what is left?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* We were born, alone, on Mogri. We don't know who are parents were, and had to forage in our forest. But that was destroyed with the rest of the world.

What do you wish to say? how was it destroyed?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Okay, okay, fine. When we were on Mogri, we tried to find a way to restore magic. We had the chance to do so, and we...I...refused to. And so we let the planet of Mogri destroy itself. The question is whether it did...and that's why we're trying to create a portal there.

What do you wish to say? can I help make the portal?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* No, no, you'll be no help to us at all. We just have to get you back somehow.

What do you wish to say? with another portal?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ It took us many years to create a spell that would broach the dimensional gate. And it seemed to have worked...in reverse.

What do you wish to say? can it be reversed?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Don't you wish that human magician were around to help us? *Goat* No.

What do you wish to say? what human magician?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Dear, that human was insane. He kept us captive for 10 years, and you want him back. And don't say a thing, Monty. Let's try to finish this spell.

What do you wish to say? Monty?

Orelious speaks: ~Snake~ Hello, my dear. It is nice to meet you...sss..

What do you wish to say? SO you're Emrys the blue unicorn, Monty the snake, a goat and lioness?

Orelious speaks: ~Snake~ Hmm...perhapsss you and I could get together sssometime.

What do you wish to say? sssure. I like sentient snakes.

Orelious speaks: *Goat* How to get you home...well, it's going to have to be some sort of spell...

What do you wish to say? what if I don't want to go home?

Orelious speaks: (there is a smash as flasks go flying) *Goat* Monty, I've told you not to go wandering around the lab. ~Snake~ Well, excussse me.

What do you wish to say? you're excused.

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Oh dear, what shall we do, whatever shall we do?

What do you wish to say? I don't know

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Well, it's not like we know either. Here we go, minding our own business, when poof! There you are. Cianna, what'd you do this time?

What do you wish to say? What is your name?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Me? It was you who decided to research the spell.

What do you wish to say? why are you ignoring me?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Yes, but you're the one that wanted it.

What do you wish to say? please stop arguing.

Orelious speaks: ~Snake~ Oh, shut up, both of you.

What do you wish to say? thank you Monty.

Orelious speaks: ~Snake~ Hello, my dear. It is nice to meet you...sss..

What do you wish to say? It's nice to meet you too.

Orelious speaks: ~Snake~ Perhaps I'll have you for...dinner. *Goat* Monty, this of all times is not the time to think of food! We have a guest here.

What do you wish to say? you're a chimera!

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Ah yes, a creature of your myth. Supposedly my kind lived on your planet, then migrated to Mogri afterwards. Hmph.

What do you wish to say? is the unicorn a part of you?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Oh, Emrys is a dear, dear friend of ours. The only other survivor of Mogri. Wondrous with magic. But we never see him.

What do you wish to say? then who's the human magician?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Sorry. Back in the war on Mogri we didn't particularly have nice experiences with humans.

What do you wish to say? you said you were his captives?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Pah. All you humans want to do is sap the strength of others.

What do you wish to say? Yes, humans want power. but I'm not like that.

Orelious speaks: *Goat* I'm not sure I know what you're talking about. Can you rephrase that?

What do you wish to say? I agreed with you that humans sap the strength of others

Orelious speaks: *Goat* How to get you home...well, it's going to have to be some sort of spell...

What do you wish to say? you don't want me here?

Orelious speaks: ~Snake~ You're in the middle of one of Lioness's botched spells, which..hmm...since you're human, know that you're in the realm of Furry.

What do you wish to say? Realm of Furry? I know a furry where I'm from.

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Oh, the furries. Animals that walk on two legs, and talk, and such. I believe your proper term is anthropomorphs. This is their world.

What do you wish to say? so it's not safe for a human to stay?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Pah. All you humans want to do is sap the strength of others.

What do you wish to say? can I become a furry?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Well, the furries here are quite nice, and friendly...well, most of them.

What do you wish to say? furries are like humans in that.

Orelious speaks: ~Snake~ And you can tease furries and humans in so many ways...

What do you wish to say? yes. we both have a sense of humor.

Orelious speaks: *Goat* We don't get out too much. There are too many people even here who think we're ugly and would prefer to hunt us. Not too different from Mogri.

What do you wish to say? So chimeras and furries are not the same?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Oh, the furries. Animals that walk on two legs, and talk, and such. I believe your proper term is anthropomorphs. This is their world.

What do you wish to say? are you furries?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Oh, the furries. Animals that walk on two legs, and talk, and such. I believe your proper term is anthropomorphs. This is their world.

What do you wish to say? are you orelious?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Oh, the furries. Animals that walk on two legs, and talk, and such. I believe your proper term is anthropomorphs. This is their world.

What do you wish to say? how can I get to my world? a spell?

Orelious speaks: *Goat* This was your choice, not mine, Cianna...You wanted to go back to Mogri.

What do you wish to say? can you get me to my world?

Orelious speaks: ~Snake~ Perhaps I'll have you for...dinner. *Goat* Monty, this of all times is not the time to think of food! We have a guest here.

What do you wish to say? Cianna, Emrys, Monty...you are lose with names. are names important in magic?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ (giggles and purrs softly) Such a tiny little human...so cute.

What do you wish to say? yes, I'm cute, help me get home.

Orelious speaks: *Goat* No, no, you'll be no help to us at all. We just have to get you back somehow.

What do you wish to say? thank you. will magic get me home?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ We are a mage of some renown around here...I don't suppose you've heard of us. Well, we cast spells sometimes the Goat makes a potion or two.

What do you wish to say? I am holding the book of Mogri. can magic send me home?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ We are a mage of some renown around here...I don't suppose you've heard of us. Well, we cast spells sometimes the Goat makes a potion or two.

What do you wish to say? can I step out of the circle, cianna?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Hi there, little one. I am Cianna the Lioness. I'm the one that created the spell which brought you here.

What do you wish to say? can a spell send me home?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Hmm...your home. Earth, right? You're a human from Earth? Hmm...well, we'd need to teleport you back somehow.

What do you wish to say? what is involved in a telportaion spell?

Orelious speaks: ~Snake~ Hmm...my, you're quite a nice little...ssspecimen...

What do you wish to say? are you going to eat me, Monty?

Orelious speaks: ~Snake~ I don't know why thessse othersss go about thisss busssiness. Sseemss to only get them in trouble.

What do you wish to say? well, it got me in trouble too. I was logged in on my computer and then I was here. poof!

Orelious speaks: *Goat* It was her dream which got you here. The Lioness...she thinks Mogri is destroyed. Pah, why should I care?

What do you wish to say? you shoudl care because your magic affected me.

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ We are a mage of some renown around here...I don't suppose you've heard of us. Well, we cast spells sometimes the Goat makes a potion or two.

What do you wish to say? chimera

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ As you can see, we are a chimera, a creature of Lion, Goat, and Snake. Of course, that means we end up fighting a lot. *Goat* Do not!

What do you wish to say? chimera, send me home, please.

Orelious speaks: *Goat* Ah yes, a creature of your myth. Supposedly my kind lived on your planet, then migrated to Mogri afterwards. Hmph.

What do you wish to say? goat, please be nice

Orelious speaks: *Goat* (ahem) I am Arthur the Goat. I apologize for bringing you here. I'll try to get you back. Now where is that book...

What do you wish to say? Arthur, Cianna, Monty, Emrys, please send me home.

Orelious speaks: *Goat* I am the scientist among the group. Cianna is all dreams and no substance, and Monty just seems to want to make out. (others shout Hey!)

What do you wish to say? I am a scientist too, arthur.

Orelious speaks: *Goat* I am the scientist among the group. Cianna is all dreams and no substance, and Monty just seems to want to make out. (others shout Hey!)

What do you wish to say? where is emrys

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Oh, Emrys is a dear, dear friend of ours. The only other survivor of Mogri. Wondrous with magic. But we never see him.

What do you wish to say? is he invisible?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Oh, Emrys is a dear, dear friend of ours. The only other survivor of Mogri. Wondrous with magic. But we never see him.

What do you wish to say? will the invisible magic unicorn help me?

Orelious speaks: @Lioness@ Oh, Emrys is a dear, dear friend of ours. The only other survivor of Mogri. Wondrous with magic. But we never see him.
