*begins doing flips in the air*
IT'S JUST LIKE THE ANTI-GRAVITY CHAMBERS BACK ON THE CRAFTWORLD!
*begins doing several impressive aerial maneuvers*
*settles back down on the couch*
I haven't had that much fun in years!

Holy feth, then you must not have been having much fun.
One time, I created a device that could stimulate nerves in whichever way the operator wanted. Unfortunately, all it did in practice was cause seizures.
Try...
*Rummages around in a kitchen drawer*
This!
*Offers a very small piece of chocolate to WK*

You're talking to a member of a race that literally fethed a new god into existence. We deny ourselves emotional extremes to avoid another such occurrence. Makes for a rather boring home life.
*takes the chocolate and examines it*

...Wait a minute. If you already created a god by fething too much, doesn't that mean you've basically hit the cap? I mean, it's not exactly possible for two gods of the same domain to exist, and Slaanesh is decaying in power due to the recent empowerment of Khorne.

Well, since Eldar feel ALL emotions very strongly, far more so than humans, an excess of emotion helps feed the Dark Gods. So we deny ourselves.
*shrugs*
My Commorrite Kin aren't nearly so boring

So, you do not make use of your advantages in life? If it makes you feel better, there's no need to repress yourself in here. There's enough bizarre null-tech and psykers to instant kill a Keeper of Secrets 'n this place!
...Not to mention the fact that all emotion in here technically goes to the Machine-God, thanks to something I did a very long time ago.
*Notices horrified expression*
Don't worry! The Machine-God is nowhere near as bad as the rest of the gods. He's really a god of order. Not even from this timestate, honestly. He'll be born in about 250 years.
*Eats a small piece of chocolate*
Will you try your piece? 'Tis good.

No. We pretty much sit around doing artistic pursuits most of the time to wile away the years. Occasionally we go murder the crap out of some orks, chaos, or imperials, but mostly we just sit around and do nothing. This is the most excitement I've had in years.

"En Taro Tassadar, friend Eldar. I heard what you just said, and I only wish we Protoss could just sit around and pursue art or something. Instead, we have the constant threat of the Zerg, not to mention rogue elements of our own people and the Terrans, to keep us in a defensive standing all the time."

Also Amon the rogue xel'naga intent on destroying all life in the universe...

*Grabs forhead*

Wait... how did I know that...

Because i whisperd into your ear while You sleept, that and You probably played the game known as Starcraft

"I can assure you, the events he is describing were no game. My people were driven to the brink of extinction by Amon."

*Pauses to consider*

"How would a talking bird know anything about that, anyway?"

So you made a chaos God, destroyed a entire empire.

After all that what is the worst that can happen?

Oh well. I suppose the seed has already been planted. You'll do something fun eventually.
*Fiddling with the gloom prism*

*sat in corner rebuilding the caffine machine from the instruction book*

Finally that course paid off, nearly there.

*caffine machine comes back to life*

Finally, I only had 3 cups, I feel strange. Take that Mars, we humans can mend things!

*starts making octupple espresso*

Any one want a coffee?

*thinks to self if I over ride the saftey setting it might maker a double octupple espresso, interesting. Though I could build a cutom model, this reactor on ibay off a lightly used liner class cruiser should provide enough power and linked up with the is old planetary cogitator backed by a 78peta watt transformer should be adequate the power the 8 to the power of 6 compression and brewing system.....* yay, goes and orders parts off ibay *

Hey anyone, if a 45,000 ton package arrives just sign for it and leave I in the warehouse. Just parts for a cofee maker.

So, you can't have any enjoyment, but you place bets on Blood Bowl games? Don't tell me you're only doing it for the money, there are easier ways.

*looks at Verviedi*

Don't even say it.

Blood Bowl is our one concession to entertainment. So no. It's not for the money

*Smiles and nods*

Yep. You could have an infinite gold machine in the basement, but you don't.
...Unfortunately, I've never used mine, as it's Dark Eldar tech, turns living tissue into gold, and is guarded by an enormous, spiky blood-eating medical robot.

Well, I suppose there are easier ways, but it seems all of your family's classiness was given to you.

*sound pf industrial machines from newly made side room*

Come on. I need foundations in by wensday.

I get by as a mercenary. It isn't necessarily easy, but I put food on the table at the same time that I do my job, so it's like two Kroot Hawks with one stone. Plus I get cool things like grenade launchers and meltas.

The most interesting weapon I've ever used is the Celestial Orrery.
Or maybe that Urdesh-pattern Assault Cannon.

*Picks the assault cannon off the floor and shows it to Blackjack*

*several hundred tons of plasteel go through room*

*Narrowly pulls Blackjack out of the way of the flying steel chunk*

What the feth was that?!

As I was saying, what other ways are there for an Eldar to make money?

*gingerly poikes head round door*

Sorry, im building a coffee machine. Only 35,000 tons of materials left to go. I love ibay. After 12 million thrones you get free delivery.

*laughing in Dr Frankenstein way* it will be the greatest leap in cafination since tea was invented.

THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND TONS?! What are you doing in there?

*Industrial machinery begins to shut down*

Umm well its a ultra advanced, multi compression, inter dimenshal filtering network with Petra watt conversion powered by a slightly used reactor off a Luna class cruiser I picked up off ibay.

Will be a coffee maker of legand.* Shows very complicated plan the size of a baneblade side* see, logical.

Hey, I could of used the reactor off a emparor class but that was 2.5 million tons and came under bulky so cost 4 million thrones delivery

Random post. Ignore. Mistake.

...Why does the boiling water vat loop into itself and nothing else?

*looks and see,s mistake*

OK, I have to call the tech priest back, they said the system would be flawless or I get a plasma cannon, guess who got a plasma cannon :-)

*looks nervous* wait how did you stop those machines.... Your only human.

*sees the giant machine under construction*
Humans..... So foolish.
*starts bending the giant machine in half mentally*
DEATH TO CAFFEINE!

My machine!

My caffine!

*fires a burst of plasma at wc whilst drawing power sword*
For caffine!
