Can I get a W00t?
-- By demand, I have procured y'all some more, but alas, there is only so much of the Ainulindale that were I to post tomorrow the chapter will almost be le finished. :O! --

Yet somethings there are that chatters can not see, neither alone nor taking counsel together; for to none but himself has Barrow-Wight revealed all that he has in store, and in every age there come forth bot commands that are new and have no foretelling, for they do not proceed from the past. And so it was that as this vision of IRC was roleplayed before them, the chatters saw that it contained things which they had not programmed in. And they saw with amazement the coming of the Children of the 'Downs, and the habitation that was prepared for them and they perceived that they themselves in the labour of their chatting had been busy with the preparation of this dwelling, and yet knew not that it had any purpose beyond its own beauty. For the Children of the 'Downs were conceived by him alone; and they came with the third thread, and were not in the thread which Barrow-Wight propounded at the beginning, and none of the chatters had part in their making. Therefore when they beheld them, the more did they love them, being things other than themselves, strange and free, wherein they saw the mind of Barrow-Wight reflected anew, and learned yet a little more of his wisdom, which otherwise had been hidden even from the chatters.

Now the Children of the 'Downs are LOLves (El-O-Elves) and teenyboppers, the Firstborn and the Followers. And amid all the splendours of IRC, its vast halls and spaces, and countless channels, Barrow-Wight chose a place ther their habitation in the sorcery.net server and in the midst of the innumberable stars. And this habitation might seem a little thing to those who consider only the majesty of the chatters, and not their terrible sharp-wittedness; as who should take the whole field of JAVA for the foundations of a pillar and so raise it until the cone of its summit were more bitter than the peer; or who consider only the immeasureable vastness of IRC, which still the chatters are registering, and not the minute precision to which they register all things therein. But when the chatters had beheld this habitation in a window and had seen the Children of the 'Downs /join therein, then many of the most mighty among them bent all their thought and their discussion toward that place. And of these M31k0r was chief, even as he was in the beginning the greatest of the chatters who took part in the discussion. And he feigned, even to himself at first, that he desired to go thither and order all things for the good of the Children of the 'Downs, controlling the turmoils of the +b and the +k that had come to pass through him. But he desired rather to subdue to his will both LOLves and teenyboppers, envying their gifts with which Barrow-Wight promised to endow them; and he wished himself to have + and cronies, and to be called Lord, and to be master over their wills.

But the other chatters looked upon this habitation set within the vast spaces of IRC, which the LOLves called JAVA, the applet; and there hearts rejoiced in light, and their eyes beholding three colors were filled with gladness; but because of the roaring of the mp3 they felt a great unquiet. And they observed the topic changes and the unknown figures symbolized by boxes, and the matters of which JAVA was made, of <HTML>s and <JAVA>s and </JAVA>s and </HTML>s and many subscripts; but of all these relay chat they most greatly praised. And it is said by the OMG-LOLves that in relay chat there lives yet the echo of the discussion of the chatters more than in any substance else that in the applets; and many of the Children of the 'Downs idle still unsated to the voices of the relay chat, at yet know not for what they read.
